"I have to say that bringing Zidane to the Bernabeu will be an achievement that will always be remembered by history."
Xiao Qian and Florentino had a great conversation.
Just because Xiao Qian strongly agreed with the idea of introducing Zidane and stated that he would firmly stand on Florentino's side.
This really touched Florentino.
His Galacticos policy actually encountered great resistance within the Real Madrid board of directors. Quite a few shareholders expressed their opposition to this.
Florentino's future resignation will have a lot to do with this.
Of course, who said that Galaxy Battleship completely failed at the competitive level?
With so many superstars, no Real Madrid fan can stand it when they are in the top 16 of the Champions League every year.
At that time, Xiao Qian was one of the fans who criticized the club.
However, from an economic perspective, Florentino's Galactico policy was more than a success, it was a great success.
At that time, Real Madrid was the number one club in the world and its popularity was unprecedented.
And comprehensively considering the results of the entire first phase of Galaxy Battleship, it is actually not too bad.
After all, they also won the Champions League in 2001-2002 and reached the top of Europe.
It was only because the performance subsequently declined year after year that many people misunderstood that the first phase of Galaxy Battleship was a useless gimmick.
As a shareholder of Real Madrid, Xiao Qian must of course consider Florentino's approach from an economic perspective.
Since it can make money, of course he is supportive.
"That's great, Xiao. With your support, my plan is one step closer to success."
In the board of directors, Florentino has a fixed number of supporters and an equally large number of opponents. What he has to do is win over the centrists.
As long as the centrists are on his side, his plan can be implemented.
From a businessman's point of view, Xiao Qian supports Florentino's policies. But from a fan's point of view, he feels the need to express his opinions.
"Mr. Perez, although I very much support your policy, there is an important question. Have you considered it?"
When Florentino's expression became worried, Xiao Qian said directly: "If Zidane comes to Real Madrid, what will happen to Raul's position?"
Raul was one of the six superstars in the first phase of Galacticos. He also came from the Real Madrid youth training and was the flag of Real Madrid.
So no matter what, Raul's presence must be guaranteed.
But the problem is that once Zidane arrives, Raul's space on the court will be squeezed.
Although he is a forward, he is not a center in the traditional sense, but a No. 9 and a half player, also known as a shadow forward.
Raul does not have a strong body, nor excellent speed, and his dribbling skills are not outstanding among Spanish players.
The only thing he's good at is his shot in the penalty area.
Now in Real Madrid's formation, Raul has Morientes in front of him to defend him, so he can get a lot of shooting opportunities and perform very well.
But when Zidane arrives, Raul won't feel so comfortable.
Because Zidane, as a traditional No. 10 attacking midfielder, plays very close to the opponent's penalty area.
In this way, when there is a powerful center like Morientes in the front and an organizational midfielder like Zidane in the back, will Raul still have room to survive in the middle?
Ask him to stay on the wing, but he doesn't have the ability to establish himself on the wing.
Later, after Ronaldo came, Raul made a sacrifice and went to the wing, and his performance was not generally bad.
The Galacticos policy in previous generations was criticized, and the one who faced the most criticism was Beckham.
Many people think that he is flashy and does not contribute much to Real Madrid's record. But in Xiao Qian's view, the real failure is actually Ronaldo.
After Zidane arrived, the club at that time discovered Raul's embarrassment, and coupled with the trend of the superstar policy, they sold traditional centers like Morientes and bought Ronaldo.
The club's idea is actually a good one.
Ronaldo has outstanding skills and extremely fast speed. Although he is a center, he can pull wide and use his speed and technology to break through and disrupt the opponent's defense. He can also create opportunities for Raul to win in chaos.
The club had very good thoughts, but it didn't expect that the person who came to Real Madrid was not an alien, but Fei Luo.
After winning the World Cup, Ronaldo had no regrets in his career. Coupled with the Brazilian's lack of self-discipline, his competitive status plummeted.
The alien who couldn't run was not as effective as Morientes. He just hit him in front and squeezed Raul's space even more.
As a result, Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt appear to be star-studded, but in fact they are constraining each other, which is the key to unsatisfactory competitive results.
Now that Florentino wants to buy Zidane, Xiao Qian has to give him a warning.
Sure enough, Florentino fell into deep thought.
Raul is not an ordinary player. He has great influence among Real Madrid fans. If he doesn't get it right, it will become a crisis.
He thought for a while, since Xiao Qian mentioned this problem, maybe there is a solution?
"What's your opinion?"
Xiao Qian indeed had an idea.
"My proposal is to let Morientes go and recall Eto'o."
Real Madrid's attempt to use Ronaldo to match Raul can be applied to another player, that is the Cheetah Eto'o.
Eto'o is also a center forward, but he is also extremely fast, has superb skills and excellent dribbling. He is an offensive player with a very large activity area.
Since Ronaldo can't run anymore, why not use the younger Eto'o?
In addition, Xiao Qian also has another purpose.
That is, no matter what, Eto'o cannot be released to Barcelona.
In the next few years, Real Madrid will always be suppressed by Barcelona. Among the many victims, Eto'o is one of them.
Eto'o is also one of the cornerstones of Barcelona's dream team.
It can not only enhance one's own strength, but also weaken the strength of competitors. How can Xiao Qian let such a good thing go?
Unexpectedly, Florentino actually knew Eto'o and shook his head after hearing this.
"That Cameroon kid? Xiao, please forgive me, this is not a good idea. To tell you the truth, I am actually very dissatisfied with Morientes at the forward position. But I already have a
My favorite striker, an absolute superstar. My plan is to bring him to the Bernabeu after introducing Zidane."
Xiao Qian directly broke his pretense.
"Are you talking about Ronaldo?"
Florentino was really frightened, but then he laughed heartily.
"Hahaha, Xiao, you and I are indeed the same kind of people."
Xiao Qian couldn't laugh.
"Mr. Perez, please listen to my honest warning. It is true that Ronaldo is an excellent striker, but his peak period is about to pass. And I believe you have also heard about the Brazilian's amateur life. Such a person
, I am afraid that after he comes to Real Madrid, he will not be able to increase our strength."
Florentino was not so easily persuaded.
"If Ronaldo cannot come, our Galacticos will be dimmed and unable to achieve the desired goals."
Xiao Qian took full advantage of the experience.
"If you want to have bright stars, you don't necessarily need to accumulate offensive players in the midfield and frontcourt. In football, there are many good players with both strength and fame, who also have superstar qualities. I think we should shift our goals."
In order to convince Florentino, Xiao Qian added another one.
"Also, while building a galaxy of superstars, we must also consider the feelings of loyal fans. I believe they prefer to see Real Madrid's own children wearing white jerseys and winning honors for us. And E.
To'o happens to be a well-established player in Real Madrid's youth training. If he can play, it means that both of our paths can be improved."
Florentino fell silent, obviously deeply moved.
What Xiao Qian mentioned was actually the Zidanega Pavin policy that he later advocated.
Unfortunately, it was a complete failure.
It’s not that there’s a problem with the policy, it’s that the people are not good enough.
Parveen is not that material and cannot afford to promote this policy.
In football, especially for defenders, age and experience are crucial. Unless they are extremely talented, few young defenders can make their mark early.
Just one mistake can ruin your life.
After all, if you attack once and fail, you have failed and you have to start over. As for defense, if you make one mistake, it will be a fatal failure.
So if we really want to select the right talents in Real Madrid's youth training, Xiao Qian certainly hopes that the candidates will be placed on the frontcourt and offensive line.
Florentino pondered for a long time and had to admit that Xiao Qian's consideration was more comprehensive. However, he had to continue the superstar policy, so he had to ask reluctantly: "Then do you think, besides Ronaldo, who else can create a sensation?"
Woolen cloth?"
Xiao smiled slightly, once again speaking from the bottom of his heart.
"Hierro is old and can't play for a few more years. Once he leaves, our fragile defense will be a nightmare for us. Therefore, we need to introduce a defensive superstar who can be a pinnacle."
Florentino was a little dissatisfied.
"Are there any superstars among the defensive players?"
Xiao Qian almost rolled his eyes. He really didn't know how to describe his idiot. He had no choice but to do it and load the goods.
"I have studied that the Lazio club in Serie A has huge financial risks, which may break out within two seasons. At that time, they will have to sell players to replenish their finances. What do you think, if we bring Nesta to the Bernabeu?
