"I understand, Frank, let's think about it. We just have to communicate with Arsenal. I think the more important thing for you now is to prepare for the game. As for next season, I think there is no need to worry too much.
No matter what you think, I want to defeat my opponents on the court and prove that myself is the most important, and results are the best proof."
After being silent for a long time, Laporta calmed down the impulse in his heart and put the paper in the drawer under Rijkaard's disappointed eyes. At the same time, he also reminded the other party that the most important thing now is the Champions League final, and everything will be the same next season.
to be continued.
"I understand and I will prove it on the court."
After all, he is not a direct descendant. Rijkaard nodded bitterly. He knew very well that winning the La Liga championship for two consecutive seasons would not make the extremely exclusive Catalonia recognize themselves. The Champions League championship is in line with their ambitions. Once there is a slight deviation,
, Rijkaard cannot guarantee that he will remain firmly in the position of Barcelona coach.
At the same time, Rijkaard's greater ambition was ignited. Since he is not from Catalonia, he will use his results to prove that he is right. He is absolutely capable of leading Barcelona to the top of Europe again, and he must let Xiao see it.
See, I am the most suitable coach to coach him.
"Pep, I think Xiao will be the right guy for our team."
Laporta watched Rijkaard leave, and his words were still stirring in his heart. They were indeed so inspiring that he couldn't help but read a sentence to Guardiola, whom he trusted most.
"Mr. Chairman, I don't deny that Xiao's strength is indeed amazing. But we already have Leo. Believe me, his future is definitely not worse than Xiao's. Xiao's arrival will only affect Leo's growth. And Xiao
Not from La Masia, just like Ronaldinho, the consequences are even more serious, he already has many women."
Guardiola didn't want to let things change that he couldn't convince, so he quickly reminded Laporta a few words. Guardiola recognized Xiao Ge's strength, but he wanted to create his own Xiao.
"Yeah, he's not one of ours. Ronaldinho's indulgence has interfered with the quality of our team. La Masia has begun to bear fruit. I can't let Barcelona's decades of hard work be harmed, Pep.
You should contact that Arsenal player, Xiao is not the only one."
Laporta was quickly convinced by Guardiola's reasons. Seeing that Barcelona's direct lineage was about to mature, the whole world would worship Barcelona and follow Barcelona. Naturally, he would not accept all interference factors, even the world
The same is true for the first player. Barcelona does not want to give up the players it has established, but it will never be soft. Everything the players of Barcelona must serve the purpose of Barcelona, and the players of La Facia are the real core of Barcelona. Even if
It is not the case now and it must be the case in the future.
"I understand. I think he should feel honored to be able to return to his hometown. After all, he was nothing before."
Hearing Laporta's words, Guardiola nodded, feeling extremely happy. In his heart, Fabregas's value is higher than that of Xiao Ge. In his opinion, Fabregas has the right identity, the right position, and the best position.
The important thing is that you can be of the same origin as yourself.
But Fabregas was not a posted player in the B team before. Guardiola did not dare to say it clearly. If he expressed his thoughts, the whole world would probably start to curse. How hot is Xiao Ge?
Just look at Rijkaard's attitude.
Rijkaard did not know the deep-seated thoughts of Laporta and Guardiola. In his opinion, as long as he defeated Arsenal in the Champions League final, all his ideas would come true. Thinking of this, Rijkaard
Calder's heart is getting hotter and hotter. Now his desire for Xiao Ge is much deeper than his desire for Miss World. Another man who is fascinated by Xiao Ge's charm.
"Kakakakakakakaka"
"Frank, tell me about the upcoming Champions League final."
"What do you think of Arsenal?"
"Is Barcelona confident in guarding Xiao?"
"How long can you sustain Arsenal's attack?"
"Are you confident against Arsenal?"
"Barcelona ready to buy Thierry or Xiao?"
...
While Rijkaard was still immersed in his own pleasure, reporters who saw him coming out of Camp Nou immediately swarmed him and surrounded him with all kinds of questions.
"There is no doubt that Arsenal are a strong and determined team, and their attack is very strong.
"Yes, I watched their game against Liverpool, and yes, I was amazed by their performance. Xiao left a deep impression on me. It was a dream goal, and Xiao is also a dream player.
"
"We have many similarities with Arsenal. We both focus on possession of the ball and playing offensive games. I don't know what the situation will be like in this game."
Rijkaard is not a person who likes to chat in the media. He quickly finished what he had to say. Just when everyone thought that Rijkaard would get into the car as quickly as before and prepare to end the interview, Rijkaard
De gave everyone a surprise.
"I don't want to say too much about the game. The only thing I can be sure of is that Barcelona will definitely defeat Arsenal in the game. This game will definitely not be like what coach Xiao and Wenger said, Barcelona is the weak one. On the contrary, we are not passive.
Barcelona’s football culture does not accept oppression, and I also want to tell Xiao during the game that only Barcelona’s football is the most suitable for offense. Xiao is a talented attacker. They are the same, and he must accept this.
Reality."
With a 'pop', Rijkaard drove away from the car door. Although he was not good at doing 'private work', it did not mean that he did not do 'private work'. He would not give in to Laporta or Xiao Ge.
.
"What do Frank's last few words mean?"
"What do you mean? You idiot, don't you understand? Barcelona and Xiao are a natural pair!"
"It means Barcelona will also get involved in the competition for Xiao."
"Frank admitted it himself?!"
"Oh my God, Xiao is so fascinating!"
...
The reporters present went crazy, and Xiao Ge's storm also swept across the top two teams in La Liga.
Nyon, Switzerland. In the presidential lounge of UEFA's headquarters, Platini respectfully poured a glass of red wine from his hometown to Johansson. The two sat opposite each other, quietly tasting the mellow wine.
Bitter.
"Xiao is so good. I'm proud that Europe has such a genius. Aren't you, Michelle?" Looking at Xiao Ge's performance in the highlight, which was like a god descending from heaven, Johansson couldn't hide the fondness in his eyes.
"Yes, Xiao is the most outstanding player I have ever seen. Think about us people. In the past, once a player performed well, he was said to be the second generation. Now it seems that this is a joke when it comes to Xiao. He has surpassed
We have too many players of the same age group, but we are too lacking in experience. It is not a good thing for players to be surrounded by women, I think..."
Platini strongly agreed with Johansson. However, as a young man in power, energy is indispensable and he had no tolerance for Xiao Ge.
"Haha, young people have a young life. Your generation seems to be more outrageous than Xiao. It's just his way. Your two fellow countrymen have done well this year and are as good as you. Wenger is not far away.
.But Zidane is retiring, and French football is not easy. Do you think Thierry can take on the important responsibilities of the French football team?"
Johansson smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Platini. He was quite optimistic about Xiao Ge. In order to alleviate Platini's embarrassment, he took the initiative to praise several of Platini's fellow countrymen. As soon as the topic changed, the topic changed.
It’s up to the French team. I feel sorry for Zidane’s retirement, and also doubt whether Henry can take over the responsibility of the French team. As an important force in European football, Johansson cannot ignore it. After all, UEFA and International Football Association
In the meantime, Johansson wanted to hear Platini's opinion.
"Whether we can get to the last step depends on everyone's participation. I can't know more. As for Thierry, he is in good form this season, but more importantly, Xiao. It seems that this year's French Football will be difficult."
Avoided, I think everything depends on the game." Platini shook his head. It was difficult to give an accurate answer.
"That's it, just let everything take its course." Johansson was not satisfied with Platini's answer. He was silent for a long time and muttered something silently.
"Manchester United has not yet ended, Chelsea has already come to power, Arsenal has recovered again, and Liverpool's tenacity is admirable. The Premier League is really a formidable league, but Ligue 1 is becoming more and more lonely. It is difficult for the French team to win.
The follow-up power." Platini was also worried.
"The World Cup is too far away and has nothing to do with us. The Champions League is our key." Johansson brought the topic back.
Indeed, in the tide of the World Cup controlled by FIFA, the only thing UEFA can compete with them is the Champions League. Although UEFA has carried out reform measures in the European Championships many times, striving to eliminate the World Cup.
Although the impact of the tournament on European football has achieved certain results, there are too many small countries in Europe and the population is too small, so it still cannot be compared to the World Cup, a grand event held every four years for fans around the world.
The Champions League is different. Almost 99% of the famous clubs in the world are in the European continent, and almost all the stars are concentrated on this continent, especially the giants, where there are even more big names and stars.
The effect of strong competition is extremely increasing, covering almost 99.9% of the fan support rate in the world. It gathers the top few outstanding teams in major leagues. The rules for participating are also the best of the best, and from the perspective of stars
Look, it has a more general cruelty, so it is definitely qualified to compete with the World Cup. And UEFA adopts the same schedule as the World Cup group stage, and we can see some clues. Although the elimination in the previous game was cruel,
There is also more 'humanity' to come again, and the expectations are stronger.
For UEFA, the Champions League is their World Cup, and Johansson had to remind Platini.
"This is the year of the World Cup. A lot of resources will be allocated to the Champions League. I won't mention the World Footballer. The same is true for French football." Platini also understands.
"I know that the World Cup is the fastest machine to create stars. The Champions League cannot match this. We need our own Pele and Maradora." Johansson nodded with some distress and gave himself the answer.
"Perhaps we don't need to be too serious. Even the World Footballer needs our recognition. On the contrary, this will allow fans around the world to identify with this event." Platini also has his own ideas.
"No, Michel, the existence of UEFA is that football cannot become a human doll. We have our own meaning of existence, not to agree with anyone. Have you forgotten?"
Johansson scolded him like never before and stared at his successor with burning eyes.
"I understand, but I want to integrate into that circle and then use our own advantages..."
"The reason why the World Cup is valuable is that it happens once every four years, and the Champions League is too frequent. It happens once a year. If it wants to win, it must go its own way instead of following the trend." Johansson corrected without a doubt.
"No, this is not a contradiction. We only need to go the same path with them every four years, and eventually it will evolve into our own path and expand." Platini also refused to give in. (To be continued...)
