It was just after midnight, and the lights in Su Dong's villa were still bright.
This is particularly unusual.
The whole world knows that Su Dong is famous for his self-discipline, getting up on time for training and going to bed on time at night.
Normally, at this point, he would have been fast asleep, but tonight, he was still sitting in the living room.
Wang Chuqing, Mendes, Ma Dawei, two lawyers representing Su Dong's management team, and colleagues in charge of business operations all gathered together and sat around the big sofa in the living room.
No one spoke, they all sat in silence, glancing at Su Dong's cell phone on the coffee table from time to time.
Everyone knows Su Dong's schedule, and no one will easily disturb him at this point.
Unless you make an appointment in advance.
"I'll go make you some coffee."
Wang Chuqing, who was sitting next to Su Dong, saw that everyone was bored, and immediately stood up and walked to the water bar that separated the dining room and the living room. She had lived here for a long time, and she had a vague sense of being a hostess entertaining guests.
The key thing is that Su Dong didn't object at all.
Not long after, cups of hot freshly ground coffee were handed over to everyone one after another. Only Su Dong received a cup of boiling water. It was obvious that Wang Chuqing knew Su Dong's diet very well.
Just as he took the boiling water and smiled at Wang Chuqing, Su Dong's cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
The attention of everyone present was immediately attracted, and they all tensed up and looked at the mobile phone.
Su Dong put down the water glass in his hand, took the phone and looked at the caller ID.
"Soriano." Su Dong said.
Everyone suddenly became more nervous.
In the Barcelona team, Su Dong's popularity is actually very good. If this kind of thing hadn't happened recently, he would still be happy to continue playing in Barcelona. In the management, Soriano and Begiristain are the same as Su Dong.
The relationship is very good.
The former is the vice chairman in charge of finance and can be regarded as an external expert hired by Barcelona, while the latter is a professional player and can better understand Su Dong.
Even on this recent matter, although the two did not express their stance clearly, they still kept in touch with Su Dong in private.
This time, Soviet Union entrusted Soriano and Begiristain to tell him the results of the presidential election as soon as possible.
At this moment, both of them should be at the campaign venue.
…
"Hello, Feilan." Su Dong answered the phone.
"Su, bad news." Soriano on the other end of the phone obviously hid in a remote corner and deliberately lowered his voice, but the roar of people could still be heard on the phone, as if they were celebrating.
"Laporta lost?"
"What a shame," Soriano said with regret.
"That is to say, Rosell will become the new president of Barcelona and Bartomeu will become the vice president, is that right?"
Soriano pondered for a moment and then said, "That's basically it."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, Felan, I will remember your help no matter what."
"It should."
…
Su Dong hung up the phone, and the expressions of everyone around him had already changed.
They all heard the conversation between Su Dong and Soriano.
Unexpectedly, Laporta lost!
"What's going on? In the past two years, Barcelona won a double crown and last season a triple crown. With such good results, they ran for re-election and still lost?" Ma Dawei was very excited.
Because he knew what this meant to Su Dong.
Su Dong was very calm from beginning to end, whether he was on the phone with Soriano or now.
His face was as usual, his tone was as usual, and even his eyes were as usual.
"Back then, Sanz also competed with Florentino in the Champions League. No matter how good his performance was, wouldn't he still lose to Figo?" Mendes took this very openly, and he was even mentally prepared for it.
The Portuguese agent is also a person who is very good at preparing in advance. He never fights a battle that he is not sure of.
That's why he and his players have been invincible in European football over the years.
"For those politicians, grades are just bonus points. What they really need to do is to get the people with votes to vote for them. People with votes generally only do three things.
The choice is to vote for something you like, vote for something you don’t hate so much, or not vote at all.”
Wang Chuqing analyzed the current situation calmly and calmly.
"Russell is not very likable, but now, Laporta is obviously hated by many people. If it were not for the general election, he would have enough time to slowly change his image in the minds of fans, but now, he
His term is up!”
Su Dong nodded. He had always had doubts about why his contract was exposed.
At first he thought he was using this to attack him, but gradually he discovered that it was not.
From annual salary to clauses to the final original text, the purpose of this step-by-step process is to elicit the sensitive clause in the original text. The purpose is to use this to undermine Laporta's votes and make many people who would otherwise vote for him
People changed their stance, abstained from voting, or switched to Russell.
Facts have proved that Russell won!
Regardless of what happened before, now that he has won the presidential election, he is the new chairman of Barcelona, and he will take office immediately!
Bartomeu, the original head of the basketball department, will serve as Russell's vice president.
Coincidentally, after police investigation, it was found that when Bartomeu was the head of the basketball department, he had the opportunity to have access to player contracts that were not originally within his scope of authority. This is very problematic.
When the police found this, the investigation was suspended, apparently due to resistance.
This was the result of Su Dong's inquiries through various channels, and the police only announced an ambiguous result, that is, the source of the contract exposure was the Barcelona management, but they did not find out who it was.
"What should we do now?" Ma Dawei was very depressed.
This is their territory and their sphere of influence. Sudong is a foreign aid, isolated and helpless, and there is not much he can do. Especially now, Rosell has defeated Laporta and was elected as the president of Barcelona.
It is foreseeable that Su Dong's situation in Barcelona will get worse and worse in the future.
Su Dong looked at Mendes, then turned to Wang Chuqing, who was sitting next to him, and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
When Wang Chuqing saw him smiling at her, her face turned red, but she concealed it well.
"I think it's better to just sue Barcelona directly to the court. Your contract was signed with Barcelona and it was exposed by Barcelona. So no matter who is the chairman, if you take Barcelona directly to the court, the other party will have to bear the responsibility. And there are
With the results of the police investigation, you will definitely win this case!"
"Are you crazy?" Mendes was shocked. Players have sued the club. This is not unprecedented, but if a star of Su Dong's level really goes to court with Barcelona, it must be the focus of the world's attention.
The last case that made a lot of noise and had a world-famous player suing a club was the Bosman Act. The final result completely overturned the power structure of the entire European football world.
Su Dong's case may not have such an impact, but the sensation is definitely greater than it was back then.
"I'm sure Barcelona won't litigate with you." Wang Chuqing smiled slyly at Su Dong.
Su Dong suddenly discovered that Wang Chuqing was really like a female Zhuge in terms of law.
"They can't afford to lose that person!" Su Dong laughed.
Since Su Dong is certain to win, Barcelona will definitely not want to litigate. If they don't want to litigate, they can only ask Su Dong to withdraw the lawsuit.
But Su Dong suffered such a big loss and suffered such grievances. Is it so easy to get him to withdraw the lawsuit?
"What kind of chips do you think Russell will offer to convince you?" Wang Chuqing asked with a smile.
"He doesn't have many chips on hand, and I'm even less interested." Su Dong nodded and smiled.
In this way, the initiative returned to Su Dong's hands.
…
Su Dong made a decision immediately and did as Wang Chuqing said.
That night, Wang Chuqing negotiated with two lawyers to discuss suing Barcelona.
Su Dong is studying with Mendes and Ma Dawei, mainly on the issue of leaving Barcelona.
Things have reached this point and leaving is a foregone conclusion. The key is where to go and the issue of sponsors.
Su Dong is not worried at all about whether he will be able to play football in Barcelona in the future.
"Don't worry, Good Johnson wants to shake my main position, but he's not even close!" Su Dong said domineeringly.
As a double footballer for two consecutive years, if he doesn't even have this confidence, it would be a waste.
"Then I'm particularly looking forward to seeing that while they oppose you and keep booing you, they have to rely on you at the same time. Do you think this is called pain and happiness?"
Ma Dawei's words made everyone present couldn't help laughing.
…………
…………
The next morning, the results of Barcelona's presidential election were announced.
Russell narrowly defeated Laporta and officially became Barcelona's new president.
Last night, after Rosell won the election, he stated that he would officially assume the position of chairman of Barcelona today. The inauguration ceremony was scheduled to be held at noon, and the head coach of the first team and several core players were also invited to attend.
But what Rosell didn't expect was that in the morning, Mendes suddenly accepted an interview with the media and publicly stated on behalf of Sudong that he had formally sued Barcelona in court on the grounds that Barcelona leaked Sudong's contract and violated the contract.
The confidentiality clause caused serious damage to Su Dong's reputation and property.
"I will formally submit a written transfer application to Barcelona this morning on behalf of Sudong. I hope to be able to transfer during the winter break!"
Mendes also revealed that before the transfer, Sudong was still a Barcelona player. "As long as he wears the Barcelona jersey one day, he will definitely fight for Barcelona to the end. This is his professional ethics!"
Both matters were announced before the inauguration ceremony of the new chairman, and the meaning is self-evident.
Suddenly, the entire Spanish football world and even the entire European football world exploded.
Media from all over the world swarmed in, frantically reporting the news, and at the same time constantly revealing the inside story.
Su Dong did not make any mistakes in the whole matter. There is no doubt that he was the victim.
The deeper and more the media digs, the more beneficial it will be to Su Dongpo, and the more public opinion will support him.
Even many current and retired players and people in the football industry have responded and supported Su Dong, believing that he should defend his rights.
