"Joan Laporta, 27,138 votes. Mr. Laporta received 52.57% of the total votes. Congratulations to Mr. Laporta, Mr. Laporta became the 45th president of Barcelona."
“Bah bang bang!!!!!!!!!”
"Congratulations, Mr. Laporta."
"President Laporta."
"Thank you, thank you."
Time flies very fast, and the 2002-03 season is over. The year 2002 to 2003 was a watershed, a real watershed. After this season, European football has become more and more distinct. Those who were able to challenge the giants of European football back then
Strong teams began to decline one after another. Of course, in history, they had a comeback in 2003-04.
But that was a comeback. Since then, all the strong teams in European football have disappeared, and they no longer have the strength to challenge the giants in European football. Dortmund, the only one in the Bundesliga that can challenge Bayern's dominance in the past ten years, is now in an economic crisis.
Dortmund was able to survive in 2002 because of Dortmund's strong foundation and loyal fans. However, the crisis continues to intensify, and there is no hope for Dortmund to escape the crisis.
Let’s look at the strong La Liga teams Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia. A few years ago, Deportivo La Coruna was a strong La Liga team that won three consecutive La Liga titles. At that time, it firmly suppressed the two La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. And Valencia also
A strong team that won the Champions League three years ago. Unfortunately, both teams are now burdened with debt and no longer have the ability to recruit some top stars. When they were at their peak, Deportivo had Rivaldo
, Boboski, Mackay and other top players. And Valencia has also had top stars such as Lopez, Jankoler, Mendieta, Ronaldinho, and Vicente.
But now they are constantly losing stars. They have no capital to introduce stars of the same level. The decline in financial strength means that they no longer have the strength to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona.
As for Serie A, it goes without saying. Lazio, Parma, and Roma are all strong teams in the "post-Seven Sisters" era of Serie A. When they were at their most prestigious, even the top three northern clubs had to shun the transfer market. But now they
The bosses are unable to do what they want. The club's income is limited and the boss doesn't pay. It should be said that their bosses have problems with their own business and are about to go to jail. Therefore, the blow to them is not just a little bit, but the club's vitality is severely damaged.
In Serie A, they don't have any strength to challenge the top three in the north.
The chaotic European football world in the 1990s will never happen again. Powerful superstars are all running to wealthy clubs, and strong teams can no longer retain superstars. The polarization is getting more and more serious. Unless someone becomes like Abramovich
, oil tycoons like the Abu Dhabi Group, otherwise the pattern of European football giants would have been rigid.
This is the best era. It is the best era for both wealthy and powerful teams. With the Bosman Act, the wealthy and powerful teams are wantonly plundering the best player resources in the world, and those small teams cannot stop them at all.
Poaching from rich and powerful teams is a good time for agents and players. Because players’ salaries are getting higher and higher, agents’ commissions are also increasing. But it is also the worst time. It is for those who
Small leagues and small clubs are the worst era.
For agent giants like List, this is an era that couldn't be better. Because as players' salaries continue to rise, the income of agent giants like List has also doubled. Like Ries.
Not counting the various commissions during transfers, the annual share of players' salaries alone amounts to nearly 10 million euros. If other payments in the contract are included, Riester does not transfer every year.
Can earn more than 10 million euros.
Moreover, today’s big agents no longer rely solely on their share of salaries and commissions on player transfers. For example, List can even control the transfers of some small and medium-sized clubs. For List, only the current football world
They are the best. Those big brokers who have been agents for many years have earned more money in the past twenty years than Lister has accumulated in recent years. It can be said that it is exactly
Because the pace of football commercialization is getting faster and faster, agents like List have become billionaires.
Time passed slowly like this. It was already June 15, 2003. This day was the day of Barcelona’s presidential election. Although there was almost no suspense about Laporta’s election, after the results came out, everyone in Laporta’s campaign team
Everyone is still very excited.
"Rister, we won."
"Yes, we won. Congratulations, Sandro."
Riester and Russell were sitting next to each other. When they heard the vote count, they were not surprised at all. Because in this election, Laporta did not have a serious opponent. To be honest, only
After getting a little more than 50% of the votes, Lister and Russell still felt that they were a little behind. Laporta should have received more than 60% of the votes.
But if you win, you win. If Laporta wins, Russell will become Barcelona's vice chairman, and Riester will become Barcelona's transfer consultant. It can be said that Laporta has won now, and he needs to repay Russell
, Riester and those who supported him.
"Sandro, Riester, thank you."
FC Barcelona is no less concerned about Barcelona than anything else in Catalonia. Therefore, today Laporta gathered many political and business dignitaries from Barcelona. After Laporta greeted them first, he
He came to his own campaign team. Laporta’s campaign team is tomorrow’s Barcelona management.
"Congratulations, Huo An."
Lister stepped forward to shake Laporta's hand. In fact, Lister didn't like Laporta in his heart, because many of Laporta's views were extreme. But the world does not revolve around Lister alone.
Lister can never dictate the character of others according to his own preferences.
"It's all because of everyone's support."
Laporta was very proud. In fact, Laporta had been at odds with Nunez, the then Barcelona chairman, very early on. He opposed Nunez in public many times and criticized Nunez. Later, Gaspart became
Laporta, the chairman of Barcelona, is still the vanguard of the opposition. Finally, it is his turn to be the chairman of Barcelona.
"Huo An, we are still waiting for you to become the greatest chairman of Barcelona and lead Barcelona to a peak."
Next to him, Begilistan smiled and complimented Laporta. Begilistan was not a member of Laporta's campaign team. He was an old man from Barcelona and once played football for Barcelona. But in this election, he
He is a clear-cut supporter of Laporta. In the future distribution of power, Begilistan is a strong candidate for Barcelona Club's sporting director.
"Yes, we all hope that the new president can end the current chaotic situation in Barcelona."
Bartomeu, standing next to Rosell, also echoed Begilistan. Bartomeu is Rosell's top assistant and one of the richest men in Catalonia. Bartomeu and Rosell this time
Serge also supports Laporta and has his own requirements. Bartomeu has confirmed that he will take over the management of the Barcelona basketball team.
Riester looked on with cold eyes and sneered in his heart. It is possible to share adversity, but it is difficult to share wealth and wealth. Everyone cooperated to win the position of chairman of Barcelona, and they all got their own positions. But it does not mean that there will be harmony within Barcelona.
On the contrary, so quickly everyone began to understand each other clearly.
Rosell is Barcelona's vice president in charge of athletics. Although Laporta is the chairman of Barcelona, Laporta and Rosell only have a cooperative relationship, and Rosell cannot be regarded as Laporta's real subordinate. Let's take a look again
Begilistan, this person has obviously defected to Laporta. Begilistan became Barcelona's athletic director, which clearly divided Rosell's power.
Bartomeu is Russell's number one assistant and has a very close relationship with Russell. So Bartomeu seems to agree with Begilistan, but he is obviously helping Russell speak. Now we have just won.
, this is the virtue within Barcelona. Riester doesn’t know what to say. He also doesn’t know how long the cooperation between Laporta and Rosell can last.
Of course Lister knows a little bit. Although Lister is not a vassal of either Laporta or Russell, Lister is obviously close to Russell. Lister was introduced to Laporta by Russell.
Moreover, in terms of Liszt's current status in Barcelona, he is also working with Rosell. Although Liszt does not want to leave a mark on himself within Barcelona, most people will regard Liszt as working with Rosell.
together.
"We still need everyone's help."
No matter what his personality is, Laporta is still pretty good at superficial skills. Of course, most of these people are like this, and they are very good at superficial skills.
"Sandro, Barcelona's transfer needs to happen quickly."
In fact, Barcelona has already negotiated many transfers for Russell. However, if Laporta does not win for a day, Russell's promise will not be fulfilled. Now that Laporta has won, Barcelona's transfer needs to be accelerated.
Only then.
"Don't worry, Huo An."
Now that Laporta has just won, although he used Begelistan to divide Russell's rights, it does not mean that the victory he just won means a conflagration. Laporta just gave Rosell's rights just in case.
It's just one person inserted into the field. For now, Rosell is still in charge of Barcelona's competitive side.
"I'll do it as soon as possible."
Rosell is now confident. Rosell has started negotiating many transfers early and has been waiting for Laporta to win. Now that Laporta has become the chairman of Barcelona, these transfers can be made.
.
"Lister, I need you to be tired."
Laporta looked at Lister next to Russell and said with a smile. Lister shook his head and said, "This is my job."
