In mid-week, the calm Spanish football world was once again shaken by a report by Marca.
This authoritative Spanish media revealed that at the just-concluded [Interstellar Football] event in Barcelona, Real Madrid Chairman Florentino who was present had a positive exchange with Valencia General Manager Subilac. The specific discussion was
What, no one knows, but the reporter vaguely captured what Florentino said when the two parted.
"I hope you can seriously consider it, we are very sincere!"
What does it mean?
Marca revealed that after in-depth digging, it received news from a Real Madrid insider who did not want to be named. Real Madrid's plan to recruit Valencia's top scorer Sudong has been officially launched!
After defeating Sanz in 2000 and becoming the chairman of Real Madrid, Florentino has resolutely implemented his promise to Real Madrid fans and introduced a superstar every year, successively introducing Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo and Beckham.
One superstar every year has become a "tradition" in the Real Madrid transfer market.
So who will become Real Madrid's seventh superstar in 2004?
Previously, some media revealed that Real Madrid tried to introduce Henry from Arsenal, Ruud van Nistelrooy from Manchester United, and Totti from Roma. However, the transfers of these three superstars were stillborn because Henry, Totti and
Ruud van Nistelrooy has rejected Real Madrid.
Subsequently, some superstars including Trezeguet came into Real Madrid's sights.
But sources from within Real Madrid told Marca that Florentino has hand-picked the superstars Real Madrid wants to introduce this summer.
Suton of Valencia!
Marca believes that compared with Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo, who were already the world's top superstars when they joined Real Madrid, Su Dong seems a bit "unknown", but he is only 19 years old and has very bright prospects.
, which is very exciting.
"More importantly, Real Madrid's commercial director Jose Sanchez has made a series of assessments on Sudong's commercial value in the Asia-Pacific region, believing that his influence in the Asia-Pacific region has even surpassed that of Beckham, and his global influence
The commercial potential is also extremely amazing, and the sponsors signed are all top brands in the world."
"Real Madrid's commercial department believes that if they can sign Sudong with Beckham, Real Madrid's commercial development will be even more powerful, and Galacticos will become the most profitable sports club in the world!"
"At the competitive level, Su Dong's performance this season has given people a glimpse of his future prospects. Both Real Madrid's technical department and European football professionals are full of expectations for his prospects and believe that he is the best player in today's European football.
He is the most talented and most powerful young player in the world.”
"This makes Real Madrid very much looking forward to signing Su Dong!"
Marca also focused on analyzing the exchange between Florentino and Subilac, believing that the two sides did not have a pleasant conversation.
"There is no doubt that due to the influence of Mijatovic, there were very few player exchanges between Valencia and Real Madrid. Mendieta even missed the Bernabeu due to anti-Real Madrid clauses, which made Real Madrid want to sign Sudong.
The difficulty is extremely huge, even far beyond that of all previous superstars."
"According to information within Real Madrid, Florentino has ordered the team's transfer department to come up with feasible plans as soon as possible, including breakthroughs from the perspectives of players and agents, as well as coming up with more attractive transfer fees to attract
Valencia.”
"It is said that Florentino's price for Subilac that day reached 30 million euros, which was already three times the amount when Sudong moved to Valencia last summer, but it is still difficult to convince Valencia.
Lencia.”
"There is news that Real Madrid is willing to spend the transfer fee of Ronaldo two years ago to sign Sudong from Valencia!"
…
Once the Marca news was published, it quickly aroused huge repercussions in Spanish football and even the entire Europe.
Real Madrid's one-star-per-year policy is already a major event in world football, but Sudong has scored consecutive goals in the past six months, leading the La Liga scorer list, which has made him even more famous and attracted the attention of European giants.
s concern.
Now, these two focuses are brought together, which naturally attracts more attention.
As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, Aspen quickly came forward to reveal that Real Madrid did have the intention to sign Su Dong.
"As long as all parties above and below do not object, Real Madrid will immediately implement various transfer-related operations."
But Aspen also revealed that it will be very difficult for Real Madrid to convince Valencia, but it is not impossible.
"Everyone knows that Valencia's finances are not well-off. Even if they have a chance to win the La Liga championship this year, their finances are still tight. It has been previously revealed that Valencia will not rule out selling Aimar and Aya this summer.
To ease the financial pressure on the team."
"But if enough funds can be raised by selling Su Dong, the Bat Corps can completely keep Aimar and Ayala, and then introduce a powerful star on the front line, and the overall strength will be guaranteed."
Aspen believes that for Su Dong, transferring to Real Madrid will be a very good opportunity to improve his career.
"He will be the first Asian player signed by Real Madrid in history. This will definitely bring Sudong's influence around the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, to a higher level. At the same time, his career will also reach a broader stage.
platform.”
But Aspen also revealed that Real Madrid now has two striker stars, Ronaldo and Raul. Needless to say, the former, with three Ballon d'Or awards in hand, must be Real Madrid's unbeatable main force, and Raul is the team's captain, and
It is a flag and its status is unshakable.
Under such circumstances, Su Dong came to Real Madrid and could only become the team's substitute.
"But even so, for a 19-year-old young player, joining Real Madrid is an excellent opportunity to rise to the top in one step!"
…
The revelations by Marca and AS quickly aroused tension in the media in Valencia and Catalonia.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Both Daily Sports and Mundo Deportivo have urged the Barcelona management to take action and strive to sign Sudong before Real Madrid to prevent high-quality young players from joining Real Madrid.
But Daily Sports revealed that there is also controversy within Barcelona.
"President Laporta is very interested in signing Su Dong because Barcelona decided to go to Asia to participate in the tour in 2004. If there is a player like Su Dong in the team who is very influential in Asia, it will be good for him.
Barcelona's marketing will have a huge impact, especially in China."
"But Vice Chairman Russell does not agree with this. He believes that Su Dong's outstanding performance is short-lived and is based on the support of the entire Valencia team, but this is impossible to achieve in Barcelona."
"Instead of spending huge sums of money to introduce a young, unpredictable player, it is better to acquire a famous star like Vieri with a cheaper transfer fee."
"Roselle even revealed that he will visit Milan's Durini Street in the near future, hoping to persuade Inter Milan to sell Vieri to Barcelona. He believes that Vieri is Barcelona's most realistic transfer target. Italy
The center forward's transfer fee is expected to be between 15 million euros and 20 million euros."
"And Russell's other choice is Trezeguet of Juventus."
"The Bianconeri favor Saviola, but Saviola cannot get the approval of Rijkaard in Barcelona. Russell believes that Saviola can be exchanged for Trezeguet, which is also possible.
Let Barcelona have a mature scorer with excellent strength without having to take a big gamble on Su Dong."
Valencia Daily interviewed Subilac.
The general manager of the Bat Corps clarified to the daily reporter that he had indeed communicated with Florentino, but it was only part of the meeting and did not involve any player transfers.
"As the team's performance becomes more and more outstanding, especially Su Dong's more and more goals, it has also attracted the attention and poaching of more wealthy teams, but what I want to say is that so far, we have not received any results.
We have received no formal offers or inquiries from any team, and we have no plans to sell Su Dong."
"Now, the team is in a critical period of the season. Our whole team is united and has only one goal, which is the La Liga championship! Outside of this, we will not consider anything else and will not do it before the end of the season.
Make any decision!"
Subilac also said that Su Dong will continue to stay in Valencia in the new season.
"Everyone knows that he is our most important player and there is no reason for us to transfer him!"
But Subilac never mentioned Valencia's finances, and Valencia Daily never mentioned summer transfers. The topic quickly shifted to the weekend's home game against Barcelona.
After defeating Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, the game against Barcelona will be a key battle in the Valencia Devils schedule.
If they win Barcelona again, Valencia will undoubtedly take a big step forward on the road to winning the championship.
"The La Liga Appeals Committee rejected Barcelona's appeal to cancel Davis's red card. This is definitely good news for us, because we have all seen that Davis has performed very well since joining Barcelona. Barcelona has won the
An impressive record of four wins and one draw, and the number of goals conceded has also been significantly reduced.”
"But we still can't be careless, because the opponent is Barcelona!"
Subilac also mentioned Aimar's injury, saying it should be fine and there is a high possibility of playing.
Aimar was injured in Wednesday's training session. The team doctor diagnosed it as a muscle strain. This has been a long-standing problem for him.
Argentina's front midfielder is constantly injured and misses from time to time. This has become a serious obstacle to the further improvement of Aimar's career. Even many teams, including Inter Milan, are worried about this.
The lessons learned from AC Milan's introduction of Redondo have made all wealthy teams very cautious in recruiting players.
Especially for a weak player like Aimar who is frequently injured.
"What I want to say is that we still have an advantage when facing Barcelona at home, especially since Sudong has been in excellent and stable form recently. I think we can win against Barcelona at home."
Subilac is still full of confidence in the team's home game.
