Xiao Qian is a busy man now, and the whole world is looking for him.
Florentino also called from far away Spain and was very excited.
"Xiao, I think it won't be long before the heartthrob appears at the Bernabeu."
Xiao Qian laughed.
"Perez, I saw the news. I can only say that this is very unfortunate news for Manchester United."
In the fifth round of the 2003 FA Cup, Manchester United faced Arsenal. In the end, Manchester United was eliminated by Arsenal 0:2.
In the locker room after the game, an angry Ferguson kicked away the sneakers scattered on the ground. Unfortunately, the sneaker hit Beckham's brow bone, causing it to crack and bleed on the spot.
Other players in the locker room were frightened and stepped forward to break up the fight.
Of course, in fact, Ferguson and Beckham did not fight. And Ferguson did not really want to hurt Beckham. The kick was purely accidental.
But some things, once they happen, can never be undone.
For a long time, Ferguson had been dissatisfied with Beckham's excessive involvement in business activities.
He even regarded Beckham's wife, who was in the limelight, as an enemy, which made Beckham in the middle very embarrassed.
In the plot imagined by many Chinese fans, Ferguson is like a bitter old father, while Beckham is the doormat caught between his father and his wife.
However, in fact, the Western concept is not like this at all.
Although Ferguson promoted Beckham, in Beckham's heart, Ferguson was just a partner and partner.
At this critical moment, how could having a wife be important?
The most important thing is that this wife has brought him a lot of business benefits.
Therefore, after the Flying Boot scandal occurred, it was certain that Beckham would leave Manchester United, and there was no doubt about it.
Now the whole world is paying attention, where will Beckham go?
With his fame and worth, there is actually not much room for choice.
First of all, it is impossible for other teams in the Premier League.
Although Beckham has conflicts with Ferguson, he has no conflicts with Manchester United. Even if he leaves his old club, he will not go against it.
Secondly, the Bundesliga and Serie A are not considered.
The Bundesliga is not commercial enough, and the style of Serie A is not suitable for Beckham. Moreover, Serie A has become increasingly financially distressed in the past two years, and no team can spend large sums of money to sign him.
At this point, it is obvious where Beckham will go, and it can only be La Liga.
And it’s either Real Madrid or Barcelona.
In the top football market, the flow of players is that simple.
This is why Florentino is so happy and confident.
Nowadays, in terms of popularity and commercial value, Real Madrid is the greatest club in the world. And the team is full of superstars and the stars shine brightly.
If Beckham joins, the effect will be much greater than that of One Plus One.
Going to Barcelona?
Barcelona's style of play is simply not suitable for the technically unpretentious Beckham.
Xiao Qian is more confident than Florentino about signing Beckham.
After all, Beckham was in Real Madrid in his previous life.
But Xiao Qian felt that some things needed to be changed.
"Pereira, we have another superstar in our team. This is certainly something worthy of celebration. But have you ever thought about how to arrange Beckham's appearance?"
Beckham's years at Real Madrid were undoubtedly a great success commercially. Of course, they were a complete failure competitively.
Florentino didn't know why.
"Arrangement? What arrangement? Beckham is a successful player, and those professionals will know better how to arrange his games."
Xiao Qian scratched his forehead helplessly.
Talking about competition with a businessman is no different from playing the piano with a cow.
"Pereira, do you still remember Nesta's performance when he came to the team?"
Last summer, following Xiao Qian's advice, Florentino intercepted Hu from AC Milan and brought Nesta to the Bernabeu.
The joining of the world's top central defender caused a huge sensation.
However, in the early days, Nesta's performance was very poor and he almost became a colander in the team's defense. Some media even said that Nesta's joining was a disaster for the team.
It was not until November, after three months of adaptation, that Nesta began to show its power.
The change in attitude of the fans and the media was also exaggerated, and they immediately started the real fragrance mode.
The reason for this is not only that Nesta was not adaptable to La Liga's playing style when he first came here, but also has something to do with the team's tactical arrangements.
Italian defenders have always been known for their stability.
They are able to devote 100% to defense and are very loyal to their duties.
But in La Liga, as a player, even a defender, if you don't do some extra work, can you still be called a player?
La Liga's central defenders will also actively push forward and participate in the attack.
What?
Defense?
God will help us keep an eye on the goal.
But Nesta has never done this before. In the previous games, his performance was very out of touch with the entire team.
Many times he didn't provide any help to the team's offense, and when he defended, there was no one around him.
Italy's defense has never relied on the individual strength of a certain player, but has given full play to the advantages of the collective and the formation to stifle the opponent's offense with a linkage effect.
No matter how powerful Nesta is, without the helpers around him, he will become an isolated island in the stormy waves.
It was not until three months later that the coaching staff discovered the problem and began to make targeted arrangements for him.
For example, fix him in the position of a deep-lying central defender, and arrange a fast player to help defend.
This time, Nesta didn't have to be distracted by other things. He had someone to back him up when defending, and the top central defender began to show his power.
In the game against Valencia, Nesta even showed an amazing feat of one defense and three defenses.
With the support of his teammates, he not only intercepted the attack of three opponents, but also sent the ball to his teammates' feet, allowing them to complete the counterattack goal.
With such a Dinghai Shenzhen in the backcourt, the players in front felt so at ease and attacked more unscrupulously.
Real Madrid's squad is full of superstars, and everyone has a unique skill.
In previous games, because the defense required energy and the players were too young, their performance was not ideal.
But now that they don't put much energy into defense, their offensive talents have begun to explode.
Nesta's story is enough to provide reference for Florentino.
"Beckham plays as a right back at Manchester United. Premier League teams are good at long passes. In their formation, there are forwards who are good at grabbing headers and fighting in front of the goal. Beckham's precise long passes can be used.
Strengths. But in La Liga, more emphasis is placed on individual small skills. Players have to rely on personal breakthroughs to open up situations on the wing. This is not Beckham's strength. If you still let him play as a right midfielder, believe me, he will be lost.
"
Florentino doesn't know much about football, but he trusts Xiao Qian's judgment.
This partner's judgments have always been frighteningly accurate. Florentino's current prestige is largely due to Xiao Qian's advice in addition to successful business operations, as well as the club's management and competitive results.
"Xiao, what do you think we should do?"
Xiao Qian doesn't play tricks, he has ready-made references from his previous life.
"If Beckham joins, my suggestion is to let him play as a midfielder, and a defensive midfielder. This can take advantage of his strong endurance, good defense, and large coverage area, and at the same time allow him to play in the backcourt.
Position to initiate the attack. Of course, you still need to communicate with the head coach for specific plans. I believe that professionals’ judgments are more accurate.”
If Beckham doesn't come to Real Madrid, if he comes, the only position he can play will be the defensive midfielder.
However, Xiao Qian did not say anything, but let Florentino and Real Madrid's coaching staff take responsibility.
Competitive sports are actually more than just listing statistics. Whether a player is good or not depends on his performance.
Now that Beckham has not played for Real Madrid, why do you say that he can't play as a right midfielder?
After all, Beckham became famous in the right midfield position. It's really impossible not to let everyone see him with their own eyes. You can't convince people with empty words.
This is the difference between reality and ideal.
Florentino was still very satisfied with Xiao Qian's suggestion.
Unlike those who thoughtlessly opposed his introduction of superstars, Xiao Qian always supported him in all aspects. Moreover, the opinions he put forward were all from a competitive perspective and never interfered with his business operations.
But when it comes to business operations, Florentino thought of one thing.
"Xiao, we plan to go to China this summer to carry out business activities. I know that your company is the most powerful and experienced brokerage company in China. I wonder if it can undertake this business?"
What?
Florentino wants to hand over Real Madrid's business in China to Starlight?
Xiao Qian was a little confused, but he quickly came to his senses.
This is definitely a good opportunity.
Starlight Agency was originally limited to the entertainment field. If Real Madrid's trip to China is successfully organized this time, it will be able to branch out into the sports industry.
The opportunity is rare, there is no reason not to seize it.
"I will send someone to Spain to negotiate in detail."
