Most of the major European media chose to broadcast live the press conference of Cristiano announcing his joining Real Madrid and the subsequent appearance ceremony at the Bernabeu on the second day.

Although there are reserved seats, and the club also guarantees that every reporter present can get an additional copy of the official video and recording, most of the media still arrive at the scene a long time in advance to arrange the seats, and give their own recording pens and mobile phones Grab a good seat so as not to miss something in this press conference worth more than [-] million pounds.

And the same is waiting for the relevant staff of Real Madrid.

——Ronaldo's press conference is not a trivial matter, so the Real Madrid staff was still confirming the lights, microphones and media seats until 5 minutes before the conference, and the most important thing about it all: Ronaldo content of the speech.

Cristiano didn't want to discord with the staff because of unnecessary things on the first day of officially joining, so he honestly handed over his speech outline.

Mendes looked at the staff anxiously-he had seen the part of Cristiano's so-called "solve the Barcelona problem", and even offered to help the other party polish it. He thought the effect would be good, but the problem is, he Not sure if Real Madrid can really accept the word "Barcelona" in their press conference at home.

The staff of Real Madrid carefully read the outline again and again without expressing dissatisfaction, "Very good, Cristiano, I am very glad that you and Mr. Mendes have done a lot of preparation work."

At this time, a signal came from the front, indicating that Cristiano was ready to show up.

Real Madrid staff did not speak again.

——The live TV broadcast started, and Leo's friends in Argentina snatched Leo's TV remote control and switched to the live channel.They were all booing, asking Leo to look at the person who was going to have a "long day" with him.

"Don't you guys have a long life in Japan?" One of Leo's friends laughed at Leo, "You have to watch his press conference carefully."

Leo glanced at his friend with his usual shallow smile, but said nothing.

Cristiano on TV walked into the press conference hall at this time.

This is the "first time" that Cristiano stepped into this room. He looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar room with a smile, and then greeted the media sitting in the audience.

The reporter's first impression of Real Madrid's Cristiano seemed to be good-and the reporter's good impression directly affected their questions.

"It was previously reported that you voluntarily gave up choosing the No. 7 jersey. Can you talk about the reason for this?" The first reporter who asked the question was very polite. He gave Cristiano a chance to express his heart to the Real Madrid fans. Nuo guessed that this was the result of Mendez's black box operation.Mendes must have discussed with the club to let the reporter ask the question first, and bought the reporter to ask him to ask this question.

After all, it would be a pity not to ask this question.

"I gave up the number 7 because I respect everyone. Competitive sports seem to be a cruel thing. We always seem to believe that strength is the standard of everything-but in fact, I personally think that respect is the root of everything." Christie Jarno is confident, he doesn't even need to peek at the key words on the outline to know how to answer, "I give up the number 7 not because I want to give up my past and preferences, I give up the number 7 because I know that in the minds of Real Madrid fans Who is the real No. 7 - I respect the preferences of the fans, because I know that I came to Madrid to serve them; I also respect Raul's past contributions and efforts for Real Madrid, and everything he has done makes him deserve it My respect. In short, I like the number 7, but I respect everyone's feelings and what everyone has given. That's why I decided to give up the number 7."

——"It's a beautiful little essay," Antonella's boyfriend Carlos commented while eating popcorn. "It starts with a statement and ends with a summary. It's a very formal essay."

Antonella agreed.

Leo still just smiled but didn't speak. Ronaldo is like this. He usually looks childish, but it's okay when he is doing serious things.Leo thought so.

—The second reporter was named.

The BBC correspondent went straight to the question Cristiano most wanted him to ask – though not quite in the way he wanted it to be asked, “Hi, I’m Jim from the BBC, it’s been reported that you’ve been You once directly rejected Barcelona's negotiating request and didn't even give the other party a chance to make an offer. Does that mean that you were already a real Madridist before you came to Madrid?"

There was a burst of laughter from the reporters.

Cristiano was a little worried. In fact, what he wanted to explain was the part of "Messi didn't control Mendes, let Mendes take the initiative to break the news to reporters, making Barcelona ugly", as for the other parts, there was no discussion value at all-and This question is actually very offensive. After all, he was still a Manchester United player when he rejected Barcelona. If he admitted that he was a Real Madrid man at that time, it would be tantamount to betraying Manchester United and Jazz.But if he said that he refused Barcelona because he wanted to join Real Madrid, it would make Real Madrid dissatisfied.

Cristiano flashed a fake smile that was essentially buying time so he could figure out how to change the situation.

The press room gradually fell silent, they were waiting to hear Cristiano's answer - he answered the last question perfectly, so they are looking forward to this even more now.

"Cough," Cristiano delayed for a while again, "That's a really good question."

Mendes obviously also heard the unfriendliness of this question, but he couldn't do anything, he could only stand at the door scratching his ears anxiously.

"Actually... there are two factors. First, my father is a Real Madrid fan. His views on Barcelona have influenced me to a large extent." , "You know, a son is always influenced by his father, and I am no exception. Moreover, he even threatened me that if I forced him to go to the beach in Barcelona to bask in the sun, he would run away from home. This made me I don't even want to join Barcelona."

He didn't mention whether he was "already a Real Madrid man through and through", he only said that he had opinions on Barcelona-Although Florentino didn't think this was completely satisfactory to him, he had to say that it was decent enough.

The reporters smiled again in a dignified way.

"On the other hand, Jorge - my agent, he encouraged me to say that if I really don't have the slightest interest in communicating with Barcelona, ​​then I should make a statement immediately." After Cristiano survived a crisis , Immediately shifted the topic to the part he wanted to explain, "He respects my ideas and everyone's precious time. He doesn't want to be a player who will give false hopes to other clubs in order to make profits for his own players. He told me this idea, and I thought he was right, so I rejected it directly. So, you asked me why I rejected Barcelona. My answer is, first because I don’t want to join Barcelona, The second is because I want to compete fairly with Barcelona, ​​not weaken them by slowing down other transfers."

In the final summary, Cristiano changed the question a little-not "whether he rejected Barcelona because he was a Real Madrid", but "why did he reject Barcelona".

Everyone present could hear this little word game, but the reporters felt that Ronaldo was a very interesting interviewee.

The BBC's Jim immediately asked for additional questions.

The press officer looked at Florentino uncertainly—Florentino said yes.

"Are you denying the previous news about "Mendez's team claiming that Barcelona is not as good as Real Madrid"? asked Jim.

Everyone is waiting to hear Ronaldo's answer—everyone knows that tens of thousands of people are sitting outside the Bernabeu, watching the progress on the big screen. If Ronaldo's answer is not good, then he will go out. It's not everyone cheering but everyone scolding.

Mendez stood in the doorway, looking worriedly at his poor baby Chris.

Cristiano smiled.

"In my heart, Barcelona is of course not as good as Real Madrid—otherwise, why would I choose to join Real Madrid? I wish Jorge told everyone that." Cristiano said with a smile, as if he really didn't take it seriously. "But like I said before, Jorge always respected everyone, he always liked to embellish what I said, to make it sound more decent - although I sometimes disdain it. To be honest, I have always Annoyed that he didn't tell Barcelona directly that "Cristiano doesn't think Barcelona can do it". "

"Going back to your question, I don't know what you're talking about with this news, but I'm happy, I'm happy that my friends in the media have finally said what I've always wanted to convey to Barça. I'm really I love you guys so much." Cristiano smiled - on the one hand, he has seen the story of Cassie's "back then", so he realizes more clearly than anyone else that on the issue of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​​​there is no Barcelona/Real Madrid Players can stand in the middle and straddle the wall.On the other hand, Real Madrid has doubts about whether he has a "close friendship" with Messi, and he must do something to prove that he will never cooperate with the enemy.

Either one or the other, black or white, Cristiano chose to stand clearly from the beginning.

Florentino clapped Cristiano's hand happily and reservedly.

Mendes felt that he was blind to think that Cristiano was a poor baby.
