Chapter 1061 Public Enemy of Europe
"Florentino resigns!"

"Perez, get the hell out of here!"

"Get down, Florentino!"

The entire Bernabéu stadium was filled with angry voices from Real Madrid fans.

In the south stand where diehard fans gather, some fans even pulled up a huge slogan.

"Florentino, do you hear our voice?"

The entire Bernabéu stadium was venting its anger, and some fans even took the initiative to applaud every touch of the Southampton player.

This is not just applauding, but also slapping Real Madrid up and down.

This group of diehard fans is using this method to retaliate against the management, coaching staff and players, venting their inner dissatisfaction.

Yang Huanduan was sitting in the chairman's stand of the Bernabéu Stadium, and the target of the Real Madrid fans' bombardment was Florentino Perez sitting beside him.

In the imagination of many people, Florentino should be very panicked at this time, or very angry.

But what is strange is that the Spanish real estate tycoon didn't react at all. He seemed to be sitting there very calmly, not moving at all, as if he didn't hear the fans' boos and bombardments at all.

He just doesn't talk.

This made Yang Huan, who was sitting on the sidelines, a little embarrassed. They were old friends, but his team did not give Real Madrid face like this. It was really unreasonable, but he had no choice. Could it be that he should run to tell the players to take it easy?

In a word, Real Madrid lost miserably!
Turning his head to the side and looking at his old friend, Yang Huan also felt quite complicated in his heart.

how to say?

As the boss of Atletico Madrid, Yang Huan is very happy about Florentino's current situation, and even if he really takes the blame and resigns, he will be happy for Atletico Madrid to get rid of a confidant.

Many people say that Florentino doesn't understand football, which is nonsense.

He is so old and has watched Real Madrid all his life. Does he not understand football?
For a team like Real Madrid, the problems are always complicated.

In the eyes of many people, Real Madrid is just like Florentino, but is that really the case?

To put it bluntly, without Florentino, how long Real Madrid's so-called glory can last, I am afraid it is difficult for people to guess accurately.

Because this kind of thing is not without precedent.

In [-], Florentino took the blame and resigned, and the first phase of the Galacticos sank, but what followed was Calderon and Mijatovic’s turmoil. In just two or three years, Real Madrid was messed up. The brand value also fell again and again, and the financial revenue declined sharply.

There is a saying in professional football that money is not everything, but without money it is absolutely impossible.

Even if Real Madrid is rich now, it may not be possible to dig stars at the level of Suarez, Hazard and Aguero. If they wait until they run out of money, it will be even more impossible.

Galacticos?Best club of the [-]th century?

Really, don't be ridiculous, in the eyes of professional players, these false names can only be regarded as extra points.

If you want to poach corner stars to join, you have to have money and the ability to operate.

The world is developing dynamically. Now that Real Madrid's income is so high, what does it depend on?
star!

Without the star, are the sponsors happy?Are broadcasters happy?
Without the strong support of sponsors and broadcasters, where will your financial income come from?

membership fee?
You can't buy Hazard a leg if you put it all together!

Was Sanz's performance strong enough back then?
Two Champions League titles in three years, and local solid stars such as Raul, Guti, Casillas, and Hierro appeared.

But the result?

As a result, Real Madrid almost went bankrupt and was almost kicked out of the Champions League by UEFA!
One of the reasons why many fans ridicule Real Madrid for relying on the government is that after Florentino came to power, he sold the land in the four-tower business district of Madrid to the government at a high price, paying off the debt in one fell swoop, and got the land that is now the Valdebebas training base.

The same piece of land was dead in the hands of Sanz, but alive in the hands of Florentino.

The same old club, in the hands of Sanz, Calderon and others, was unable to make ends meet and had high debts, but in the hands of Florentino, it has become one of the best-run teams in the world.

Without Florentino, it would be difficult for Real Madrid to compete with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​tied for the top three in the Western Super League, and maybe even decline like AC Milan.

Is this weird?

It's not surprising, because professional football has always been so cruel, and the law of the jungle is always so prey.

Just like more than ten years ago, when the Bundesliga was brilliant, who would have thought that the Kirsch Group would suddenly go bankrupt?
At the peak of the Seven Sisters of Serie A, who would have thought that Serie A would be where it is today?
What was AC Milan like ten years ago?What is it like now?

Sometimes, Yang Huan felt really worthless for Florentino.

Florentino sat upright in his seat, his face was as deep as water, and his breathing was very peaceful, as if he was completely unmoved.

After being silent for five or six minutes, he suddenly let out a long sigh, and said lightly, "Most people often don't know what they want."

Hearing these words, I felt a little sad, a little melancholy.

Yang Huan smiled slightly, "That's why we are so easily incited by the media, so easy to follow the trend."

Florentino nodded, "In the eyes of our old Real Madrid fans, this team has always been the most unique team. It gathers the best stars in the world, plays the best football in the world, and wins all the championships in the world."

"You mean the Bernabéu?"

Yang Huan knew that it was a great chairman who allowed Real Madrid to name their stadium after him.

The period when the Bernabéu was in charge of Real Madrid was definitely the pinnacle moment in Real Madrid's history.

Five European champions, more than a dozen league titles, plus superstars such as Di Stefano and Puskas.

If it is said that Real Madrid can win the best football club of the twentieth century, more than half of the credit should be given to the Bernabeu.

"The times have changed, Florentino!" Yang Huan could tell that Florentino was still very upset.

In his eyes, the Bernabeu has always been his goal. He believes that Real Madrid in Mendoza and Sanz's period was not outstanding. Although they won two Champions Leagues and achieved good results, they are far from the great Real Madrid in his mind.

Not even him, in Madrid, among the members of Real Madrid, there is a group of old fans who have the same ideas and ideas as him. They all hope that the team they love can reproduce the glory of the Bernabéu period.

The best players, the most beautiful football, the best results!
But times have changed!
"Yes, the times have changed!" Florentino couldn't help raising his head, and let out a long sigh.

To say that among the current European teams, the most similar to Real Madrid in the Bernabeu era is Yang Huan's Southampton.

The Saints team has gathered the biggest stars in the world, playing the most hearty offensive football in the world, winning four consecutive Premier League titles and three consecutive Champions League titles.

Such a team is great!

Yang Huan saw Florentino's expression. Although the Spaniard was not young, he was in a good state of mind. But looking at him now, he looked a little sluggish, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

A 30-year-old young man who is ten years old doesn't feel much, but an old man who is almost 70 years old and ten years old is too scary.

It is not difficult to see how much the scene at the Bernabéu Stadium tonight hit him.

If it had been at the beginning of the century, Florentino's business strategy would have been invincible, and even a few years earlier, it could have been realized.

But now, with the influx of capital, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain...

None of these teams are short of money. Their reckless investment has greatly increased the value of superstar players in the transfer market, and at the same time caused a situation where the supply of superstar players exceeds demand.

In recent years, Barcelona has risen, Bayern Munich has risen, Southampton has risen, and now, even Atletico Madrid has followed suit, which directly leads to the fact that Real Madrid is not only difficult to guarantee their performance, but even if they have more money, it is difficult to introduce the superstars they want.

Last summer, the introduction of Hazard and Suarez was frustrated, and the introduction of Aguero failed. In the end, only one Lewandowski was bought, which is enough for people to see the current situation clearly.

It can be said that Florentino's Galacticos strategy is already struggling.

But it's not completely impossible.

"Maybe, you should consider changing Real Madrid's business strategy, as those media say, be more pragmatic."

Given Real Madrid's current situation, if they operate pragmatically, it will not be difficult to keep their status as a wealthy club.

But after Florentino heard it, he laughed and looked at Yang Huan, "I'm already 69, and I'm going to be 70 soon. Now you tell a [-]-year-old man that you can still have a second life?"

Yang Huan never expected that Florentino had such a sense of humor, which he didn't usually notice.

But why does he always feel that there seems to be something wrong?
Florentino felt as if he had made some major decision, let go of a big rock in his heart, and felt relaxed.

"The Galacticos is the Real Madrid in our mind. If we listen to you, although the results may be better, it is no longer the Real Madrid in our mind."

After saying this, Florentino let out another long sigh.

"I have done my best and done what I can, and the rest should be left to others!"

Yang Huan's mind suddenly brightened, the old man is going to retire!
He really wanted to shout, don't, I grew up watching your galaxy battleship, how can you quit?
But he couldn't say that.

Perhaps for a person of Florentino's level, if he retreats now, he can still retain a little bit of dignity.

Florentino looked at Yang Huan and smiled slightly, "I'm not boasting, once I retire, no one in European football can beat you!"

Yang Huan was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "Isn't it? When you were here, you couldn't play with me?"

Didn't realize that this old man still thinks so highly of himself?

Florentino laughed straight, "I heard people say, you Chinese have a saying, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves ahead die on the beach. I'm already old, and it's time to die on this beach."

"Then I have to say, once you retire, no one in Real Madrid can match you in a short time!"

When he said this, Yang Huan also had a frank face.

To control a team like Real Madrid, it does not mean that you are simply capable and knowledgeable. You must also have the skills, courage, and the ability to control the votes of the board of directors.

Looking at today's Real Madrid, who can?

"Who knows what will happen in the future?"

On the contrary, Florentino looked relaxed, "I believe, someone will kill you!"

Yang Huan shrugged, curled his lips, "Let the horse come here!"

But I was depressed in my heart, when did I become your public enemy in Europe?
