Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Three Actually Not Walking? (31/136)
With the chairman's authorization, Chang Sheng returned to the team and began to deal with Mendieta's transfer.
Since Mendieta was determined to leave, he naturally no longer considered trying to stay.
And since Real Madrid is willing to be taken advantage of, he will strike while the iron is hot and wait until the raw rice is cooked, so as to avoid long nights and dreams that Real Madrid will regret.
Real Madrid offered Mendieta 30 million, and Chang Sheng directly responded with 30 million plus Cambiaso and Arbeloa.
Cambiaso and Arbeloa are his favorite targets.
Arbeloa was still young at this time. He was previously in Zaragoza, and then transferred to the Real Madrid C team a season ago, and he is still in the C team now.
At this time, he looked unremarkable.
He is just a nobody in Spanish football.
Chang Sheng naturally does not think that he will become a superstar in the future, but Arbeloa will be an excellent supplement to his back line. He can play as a left and right full-back, and can also play as a central defender.
Moreover, he is diligent and honest, does not cause trouble, and has strong tactical execution ability.
Of course, these are all the advantages of the future Arbeloa, but Chang Sheng thinks that the young Arbeloa now will always be somewhat similar to the future one. Coupled with his own plug-in system, how can he be able to practice Arbeloa?
Already.
The other Cambiaso is here and can be put to use immediately.
Cambiasso is a new star in Argentine football. He was valued by Real Madrid when he was sixteen years old. He was brought to the Bernabeu from Boca Juniors and participated in the pre-season training that season. But the then Real Madrid coach Capello
Not liking him, the young Cambiaso quickly returned to Real Madrid's youth team.
That was back in 1996.
Cambiaso was later loaned back to Argentina and played for Independiente and River Plate.
In the 2001-2002 season, Cambiaso was loaned to River Plate.
Obviously, Cambiaso is not in Real Madrid's plans.
Although according to history, Cambiaso will enter the Real Madrid first team after the end of this season. However, after he transferred and left Real Madrid, he did not prove himself in Real Madrid. He only participated in 41 games in two seasons.
In all kinds of games, not a single ball was scored.
He later moved to Inter Milan, where he became a world-class midfielder.
But now, I'm afraid he doesn't have such an experience.
Chang Sheng took a liking to this player who was both offensive and defensive.
In later generations, the UEFA Champions League magazine evaluated Cambiaso as a "tireless midfield schemer". This evaluation well reflects Cambiaso's role and characteristics in the team's midfield. He
His running ability is excellent, he covers a large area on the field, and is almost everywhere between the two penalty areas. Because he is a defensive midfielder, defense is Cambiaso's main job. His interceptions and steals build up the front of Inter Milan's defense.
A solid barrier, during an offense, he is often the source of the offense, and his passing and scheduling determine the direction of the offense.
This kind of player is simply tailor-made for the winning Mad Dog tactics.
In the defensive midfield position, there are currently only Baraja, Albelda, and Guardiola.
Your team will definitely have to fight on multiple fronts next season, so it is always good to have an extra midfielder.
Neither of these two players are the players Real Madrid needs, but they are exactly what they need, and buying them can directly deal a blow to Real Madrid in the league.
Real Madrid obviously doesn't think Arbeloa and Cambiasso are of any importance. They want to get Mendieta now, 30 million euros plus two people, which is no different from only giving 30 million euros.
Those two people are worthless in the eyes of Real Madrid.
They thought they got a bargain because when they first made the offer, they didn't expect Valencia to agree so readily. They thought they would encounter a difficult negotiation and repeated wrangling. Last season, they asked Valencia for Mendieta.
When I started, I encountered huge resistance and finally had to give up.
Unexpectedly, this time it turned out to be so smooth. The other party did not refuse, but instead offered a new price, and this new price can be said to be no different from giving it away for free.
Real Madrid thought they had made a mistake at first, but after repeated confirmations, they quickly agreed to Valencia's offer.
They felt as if they were hit by gold bars falling from the sky.
They were afraid that if they were a little late, Valencia would react and cancel the offer, and then they would not get any advantage.
※※※
When Chang Sheng saw that Real Madrid had agreed to the offer, he laughed happily in the office.
This is the first time I see someone being so proactive after being cheated!
Now that the two clubs have reached an agreement, Real Madrid can contact Mendieta himself to discuss a personal contract.
So when Tordela received a call from Real Madrid, he was shocked!
"What? Valencia agreed?" His voice trembled on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, Valencia Club agreed to our offer."
Tordra's mind immediately went crazy.
He never imagined that Valencia Club would directly agree to Real Madrid!
Isn't Mendieta the captain of Valencia? Isn't he an important part of Valencia's tactics?
Why did you sell it just because you said it was for sale?
When Mendieta himself learned the news, he stared at Tordella with wide eyes.
Tordra looked embarrassed.
"Uh...this..."
Mendieta reacted and suddenly felt angry. He opened his eyes wide and asked Tordella: "Didn't you say there was no problem?! Didn't you say I would leave it to you to handle?! Ah! What now? How could it be?
It’s like this?! Why did Valencia give up on me? Why?!”
Toldela couldn't figure it out either. He just asked Mendieta to be more reserved so that he could ask the Valencia club for exorbitant prices and ask for a better salary and a new contract.
But why did things become like this?
He couldn't understand either.
Of course he couldn't understand it. Chang Sheng's thoughts were really not something that ordinary people could understand.
But no matter what, Valencia has agreed to Real Madrid, and at this time, Tordela knows very well what he should do.
Mendieta is definitely not rejecting Real Madrid's contract to show his loyalty to stay in Valencia. Since Valencia no longer intends to keep Mendieta, it is natural to consider the interests of Mendieta and himself at this time.
Of course, first he had to persuade Mendieta.
"This...this means that Chang Sheng seems to have always had a grudge against you, Gaizka!"
Mendieta was stunned for a moment.
He suddenly realized that this might be the most reasonable explanation.
Chang Sheng must have a grudge against him, because the relationship between the two of them has never been very good.
Look at how he treats Ibrahimovic, Aimar and Zahovic, and you will know what kind of character he is...
I had offended him and contradicted him, so he must have been waiting for this day...
He obviously wanted to stay, but Chang Sheng refused to keep him and insisted on selling himself.
The more Mendieta thought about it, the more he understood, and he felt that this should be the truth of the matter.
Tordela was observing the words and expressions nearby, and when he saw Mendieta's expression changing constantly, he knew that he was also in the middle of a battle between heaven and man. So he added fuel to the fire and struck while the iron was hot.
"Think about it, Gazca. Although you want to stay in Valencia, it's obvious that Valencia doesn't want you now. What's the point of keeping Li? Should he stay as a substitute? Real Madrid is worse than Valencia. Which one is better? I think anyone with a normal IQ knows what choice to make. Since Valencia has decided to sell you, you might as well go to Real Madrid. That is a better choice for you than Valencia The choice... I told you from the beginning, Gazca. When Real Madrid comes to you, no matter you choose to stay or leave, you will not suffer... You can go to Real Madrid and prove it there. Your own abilities will make the Chinese coach who let you go regret it!"
Mendieta's face was like a roulette wheel. After the expression kept changing, it finally stopped.
He made a decision.
Gaezca Mendieta looked at agent Tordela with an expectant look on his face.
He sighed: "Okay, you go and talk to Real Madrid..."
Tordera breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I won't let you down, Gazca! I will definitely get you a big contract! You can even retire directly in Real Madrid! Think about it,
Real Madrid! How amazing it is to retire there!"
Mendieta was not in the mood to listen to the wonderful prospects he described. He just waved his hand and signaled Tordela to go do his work and that he needed to be alone and quiet.
Tordela left, and Mendieta was alone in the room. He walked to the window and looked out at the familiar street scene through the window.
He has been in this city since 1992, when he was only 18 years old.
He stayed here for ten years, married a wife and had children. Sometimes, he felt that he was almost a Valencian.
But in fact he was not, he was a Basque, and he finally chose to leave.
Maybe it's because he is not a real Valencian. No matter how nice this place is, it doesn't actually belong to him.
But if Valencia doesn't belong to him anymore, what about Real Madrid?
Does Real Madrid belong to him?
At first I wanted to leave, but I couldn't. Now I don't want to leave, but I am forced to leave.
Mendieta thinks life is really wonderful.
Although he had decided to leave a year ago, when he actually left, he realized that he was actually reluctant to leave.
This city holds his ten years of memories and clarity.
He spent the best time of his life here.
He doesn't know how the fans here will treat him when he returns to Valencia as a member of Real Madrid. Will they welcome him or boo him?
I hope... it won't be too miserable then... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to (this site), give rewards, and your support is my biggest motivation.)
