Chapter 343 Where is the Turning Point?

"Okay, Jorge, I understand the general situation, so let me talk about my thoughts now."

"You said."

"Let's talk about Real Madrid first." Li Yuxin took a sip of water and said slowly, "To be honest, Real Madrid's invitation really tempted me, but after calming down, I still have to say that I don't really want to go to Real Madrid."

"why?"

"First of all, the first point is that Florentino's star strategy is very good and attractive. Now that Ronaldo and Kaka have gone to Kaka, I admit that if I go to Real Madrid and play with Kaka and Ronaldo, it will be a very spectacular thing. It should feel good to play with such a star and win countless honors. But the question is, who is the core of the three of us?"

Mendes nodded. It is true. Whether it is Li Yuxin, Cristiano Ronaldo or Kaka, any one of these three people is the absolute core and banner of any team. When Cristiano Ronaldo was still at Manchester United, Manchester United encountered this problem. Who is the core between Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Yuxin? !In the end, Li Yuxin succeeded in 'usurping the throne' and became the banner of Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo's resolute departure from Manchester United may have nothing to do with this.

Therefore, the question raised by Li Yuxin is very sensible.

"Yeah, don't forget, there is a Raul in the Bernabeu locker room." Mendes said.

Now, there is a wave of 'Black Raul' in the media, describing the Real Madrid captain as a ball bully and a cancer in the Bernabéu locker room.

Cicinho, who was once known as "the best No. [-] after Cafu", left Real Madrid early and returned to his old club Sao Paulo, Brazil.Cicinho believes that it was the trip to Real Madrid that ruined his career.

When talking about his career in Real Madrid, Cicinho pointed out bluntly that Raul was the top player at the Bernabeu. "Going from Real Madrid to Rome meant liberation for me. I was like a prisoner at the Bernabeu." Cicinho said, "When I decided to leave, people thought I was crazy, but I knew what I was doing. The atmosphere in the Real Madrid locker room was terrible, mainly because the Spanish players formed a small group."

"Raul has privileges in Real Madrid. The biggest problem is that everything that happens in the dressing room will be notified by him to the media. He can decide what the media will report." Cicinho continued, "I can't say for sure, but similar situations will always happen. If the media says that someone criticizes Ronaldo for being too fat to play, it must be because Raul has given orders to the media. This is RaulMadrid."

Cicinho used RaulMadrid (Raul Madrid) instead of Real Madrid's name Real Madrid, and he was obviously satirizing the "Lord of the Rings" overshadowing the sky.And it is not difficult to see from his words that the departure of the aliens is also due to Raul's black hand behind it.

Cicinho's words coincided with Schuster's statement not long ago when Real Madrid dismissed get out of class at the end of the season.Schuster once revealed that some people in Real Madrid did not want Villa to join, and this is the real reason why the "cucurbit baby" failed the Bernabeu.When asked by a reporter, "Is the person you are talking about Raul?", Schuster replied with a smile: "I didn't say anything just now, I just coughed."

Raul's reputation as a ball bully began in [-].At that time, it was mixed with the transfer of Morientes and the alien Ronaldo, plus the Golden Globe award ceremony after Ronaldo arrived at the Bernabeu, and the fans chanted Raul's name.This kicked off the confrontation between Liang Zi and the fans.Due to tactical and staffing reasons, Raul played more and more backwards, and his state also deteriorated due to appendicitis and loss of position. Ronaldo has the privileges given by Perez, which also made captain Raul dissatisfied with some of his poor training performances, such as being late and leaving early. The problem is getting more and more serious.Later, the so-called Brazilian gang and Spanish gang were speculated by the media, but affected by this, the fans did have serious opposition.And strictly speaking, Real Madrid's mouthpiece media did a lot of fuel on Heraul at that time.

However, some people think that this is the deliberate demonization of Raul by the media and some people. With Raul's character and character, it is absolutely impossible to do these things hyped by the media.

"Based on my understanding, Raul should not be as domineering as the media said." Mendes said, "Of course, it is undeniable that Raul's status and privileges in Real Madrid, coupled with the complexity of their dressing room and the joining of these new big-name stars, Real Madrid's dressing room will be the most complicated of these clubs."

"I'm not afraid of this." Li Yuxin said, he is really not afraid, he has his own logic, kicks the future with his own feet, does not cause trouble, and is not afraid of trouble.

"Let me tell you." Mendes laughed, "Your hesitation about Real Madrid is probably due to Cristiano." Mendes, his employer, knows both geniuses very well!

"That's right." Li Yuxin nodded, and then immediately shouted, "I'm not afraid of that guy. I can overwhelm him in terms of personal honor in the Premier League. If I go to Real Madrid, I will overwhelm him. But, I really don't want to play with this guy anymore. His temper is impossible for him to be an honest second child. He will definitely be noisy and annoyed."

Mendes shrugged, and only Li Yuxin dared to say such a thing, wanting to make Cristiano Ronaldo the second child.These two people in a team will definitely compete more fiercely, which Mendes does not deny.

※※※※※※※※

"Then what is your attitude towards Real Madrid? Rejection?" Mendes asked.

"I didn't say no." Li Yuxin said, "Jorge, let me finish my sentence."

"Okay, you say."

"Well, Jorge." Li Yuxin said, "As you said, if you want to transfer, you must make a decision as soon as possible and settle the matter. The European League will start at the end of August and early September, so I hope to be able to handle the transfer before mid-July. Therefore, you have to work harder here."

"It's my job," Mendes said. "It's my job to make the right choice for your career. Your success also means that my interests are guaranteed. Don't worry about that."

Mendez's words seemed a bit too "interests determine everything", but Li Yuxin felt nothing after hearing these words, and he was relieved when Mendes said it so frankly.

"Well, Jorge, about the transfer, let me talk about my requirements."

"Well, tell me." Mendes took out his notebook and prepared to record.

"First, the transfer value must exceed that of Cristiano Ronaldo. Since I was able to snatch the top card from him in the Premier League, then I cannot lose to him in the transfer market."

"I agree with this." Mendes said while recording, "With your current fame, popularity and strength, the transfer fee and annual salary should really not be less than Cristiano, otherwise. This will damage your image."

"It's not impossible to be less than him." Li Yuxin shook his finger, "It must be higher than him! This is the second point I said, my annual salary is also higher than that of Cristiano Ronaldo."

"Hmm. Regarding salary, let me add." Mendes said, "We should require that the basic salary is not linked to performance. We are not coaches, and we cannot represent all players. Why should it be linked to club performance. If it is linked to performance, it should also be linked to bonuses and performance."

"That's right." Li Yuxin clapped his hands and said, "If they say that my fighting spirit is questionable in this way, let them go! They can see with their eyes how I, Li Yuxin, behave on the court and on the training ground."

Mendes nodded. He completely agrees with this point. Let alone Li Yuxin's character, there is absolutely nothing to say about Li Yuxin's attitude in games and training. Even those who don't like Li Yuxin have to admit that there is nothing to say about this player's professional ethics.

"The third is about portrait rights." Li Yuxin said, "If it is a team like Real Madrid that has done a good job in market development, I want 50.00% of the portrait rights. For other teams, I want [-]% of the portrait rights."

"This should not be a big problem." Mendes said that the conditions given by Real Madrid have already promised 50.00% of the portrait rights. Other teams also said that the portrait rights can be negotiated. Even Chelsea, although they only proposed to give 50.00% of the portrait rights, but Chelsea's attitude is not so firm and can be negotiated.

"Fourth, I need a guarantee." Li Yuxin said, "I have to understand my position and role in the tactics of this team and the head coach. This is especially important. If their answers do not satisfy me, even if the first three conditions are met, I will not go there."

"Naturally." Mendes nodded. For a player, money, honor, and everything else are based on his performance on the court. Therefore, the status of a player in a team and the positioning of the head coach's tactics are particularly important.Even if Li Yuxin didn't say this request, Mendes would remind Li Yuxin.

"Okay, that's the four conditions." Li Yuxin said, "If I can meet these four conditions and I feel satisfied, then that's fine."

Mendes smiled, and he closed his notebook, "Okay now, you give these four conditions, and when I go to negotiate again, I will have a comparison. Don't worry, these four conditions, after careful analysis, are not too harsh. With your current strength and influence and status in football, these four requirements are not too much. Leave it to me, and I will talk about it."

What Mendes said was full of bullshit. Indeed, Li Yuxin's four requirements are not too much. His strength and influence are worthy of these requirements.

In the matter of Li Yuxin's transfer, Mendes has enough confidence to negotiate with any giant. He doesn't need to look at anyone's face. Li Yuxin's great performance is his confidence!
However, the English media suddenly exerted their strength, and they began to stir up an incident-has the fate between Li Yuxin and Manchester United come to an end? !

The "Sun" broke the news that the fax of Real Madrid and other teams seeking to buy Li Yuxin was placed on the table in the chairman's office at the Kearney training base, and the senior management of Manchester United had discussed it no less than ten times at this time...

Obviously, if these offers are rejected, there is no need to have so many meetings, but what are the top Arsenal executives discussing? !
The answer seems to have come out: Arsenal may really be considering pushing Li Yuxin into the transfer market!

Smart players keep silent and leave bad things to their agents.

"Go play honestly for two days. I'll just take care of the affairs here. Anyway, the agent is not a good person in the eyes of the team. You have to maintain your image, and I don't need it. I'll just take care of this bastard."

In a sense, the relationship between agents and players is like the front and back of the same coin.Most of the time, players want to maintain a healthy, uplifting, sunny, and handsome image, except for a few, such as those like Vieri who have too many transfers and their image is too dark to be washed away. There is no need to care about it, instead it is better to create the image of a prodigal son.Or in some special circumstances, the image can be created extremely strange when playing football - for example, Eto'o was labeled as a black hero, and asking for money will be considered as contributing to his hometown - such an example, After all, there are very few of them. Most of the other players want to have a good image.

However, players are human beings, and they have to eat. When it comes to negotiating contracts, the real meaning is not much different from buying vegetables in the market.And at this time, it is time for the player's agent to play a role.

There has never been a shortage of players, who expressed in front of the media that they would renew their contracts no matter what, and they have a deep relationship with the team, and share life and death, but behind the scenes are the detailed calculations of the agents and the team managers, penny by penny, and desperately pitting the team.When Kaka was interviewed, he always only expressed his loyalty to Milan. As for negotiating and being a bad guy? His father can complete this task.And his father also completed the task very well, not only asking for a high salary for Kaka, but also allowing Milan to sign Kaka's younger brother with an annual salary of 100 million, maximizing the benefits while leaving Kaka with an excellent reputation.

In fact, Li Yuxin stated that it is good to put pressure on the team, but Li Yuxin himself knows that such a thing cannot be done by himself.He also knows that he is not very smart...sometimes he is stupid, maybe he is fooled by someone, and he agrees to leave, let him say that he is loyal in the front, but double-faced and three-handed behind the back, he doesn't have that ability.

So Mendes just let him go home, let him go home with his parents on vacation.On the British side, just be a villain yourself.

At this time, Wenger also fell into thinking. Among the players I have coached, you are indeed the best one.But no one is bigger than a team as a whole.I just had to make the best choice.You can outrun anyone, but you can't outnumber eight people, there are big bankrolls and players to swap. "A player's trade is indeed profitable and losing money. It is understandable for the coach to consider a trade to make money. However, it always makes people feel a little too cold to say such things in person. And he always thought that after the hard schedule of the past few seasons, Li has matured, and he has a lot of affection for this child. He seems to have watched his child grow up step by step. Now finally he also considers leaving, but he will leave a lot of money and be able to exchange for other players!

Back at this point, Li Yuxin stopped, picked up the water glass and drank a glass of water, and Cheng Wen quickly asked: "Yuxin, what happened that made you choose to stay?"

That day, Li Yuxin left the office building and walked on the small road outside the training base, but Li Yuxin vaguely heard the muffled sound of the ball being kicked.

Subconsciously looked at the watch, it was already 05:30 in the afternoon.It stands to reason that at this time, the training of both the first team and the youth teams at all levels should have ended long ago.Who is that still playing football?
Li Yuxin walked to the barbed wire fence of the training base, and vaguely saw a lonely figure on the training ground through the dense trees inside the barbed wire fence.

Li Yuxin is very familiar with this figure, he is the Wilshere who is expected by Arsenal fans, but has already been promoted to the first team!

This guy, doesn't he know that excessive training is bad for the body?

Although Wenger's training session is only two hours in the morning and afternoon, the intensity of the four hours of training is comparable to playing two official games of 10 minutes.If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that they would not even be able to persist in normal training, let alone extra training.

Even for professional players with excellent physical fitness, this kind of training arrangement is already the limit based on scientific basis.If you practice more, it will be a bit too much.

With a trace of worry, Li Yuxin turned back to the training base and came to the sidelines of the training field.

Wilshere on the field didn't seem to notice that there was an "spectator" on the sidelines, and he still took the trouble to take the ball with his head, then cut inside, and finally hit the goal!
Li Yuxin found that even though there were no obstacles in front of Wilshere, there was no goalkeeper in front of the goal.When he takes the ball, he still shakes in a decent way, fakes, and then he also pursues the angle when he hits the goal!
It turned out that he was practicing hitting the goal with an inside cut from the left!
Although he appreciated Wilshere's hard work, Li Yuxin still walked over and interrupted him: "Hey, Wilshere. I think it's time for you to go home and rest."

Wilshere, who had just fished out the ball from the goal and was about to practice again, was obviously taken aback when he heard Li Yuxin's words.He followed the prestige and found that it was Li Yuxin, then lowered his head again and did not speak.

This made Li Yuxin feel a little strange.Because in his impression, perhaps because he knew that he had taken care of him since he was a child, Wilshere still respected him, and the two of them had a good relationship in private.In normal training, he also obeyed his own advice, why did he ignore him today?
With these questions in mind, Li Yuxin walked up to Wilshere and asked, "What happened? Tell me, I am not the captain at this time, and you are not a player. Treat it as a conversation between two friends!"

Maybe it was Li Yuxin's words that further narrowed the distance between the two, or maybe it was because Wilshere had regarded Li Yuxin as a friend in the first place, and Wilshere finally said: "The loss in the last game...it's all my fault! If my shot had gone in instead of hitting the crossbar, the result might have been different. Maybe we can go ahead after tying the score. In that way, we can continue to narrow the gap with the previous team instead of falling behind like now!"

There was strong self-blame in Wilshere's words. As he spoke, his eyes were red, and tears of regret might burst out of them at any time.

Hearing Wilshere's words and feeling his emotions, Li Yu's confidence also flashed a bit sour, and he felt worthless for this young man.

At this time, Li Yuxin fell into thinking again!
Cheng Wen hurriedly asked, "What did you say later?"
