Chapter 1097 Yang Yang's Little Apprentice
"What did you say? Finalized?"

In the luxury suite of the Hilton Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey, Yang Yang received a surprising piece of news from his agent Mino Raiola that Barcelona was extremely close to signing Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Messi nodded and agreed?" Although Yang Yang was mentally prepared, Yang Yang was somewhat surprised.

He also did not expect that Barcelona would talk to Cristiano Ronaldo so quickly.

"No one knows exactly what Messi's attitude is. When he was interviewed by media reporters in Argentina, he refused to comment on the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, but he admitted that the joining of the Portuguese would greatly enhance the strength of Barcelona."

"In addition, many Barcelona stars including Neymar, Puyol and Pique have expressed their welcome to Cristiano Ronaldo on different occasions. It seems that Barcelona's internal attitude towards the Portuguese is still very consistent. Messi cannot change the status quo, but can only accept it."

While Mino Raiola was talking, Yang Yang had searched on the iPad for Messi’s remarks in an interview with reporters. He said: I have my own views on the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, but I will not disclose any information to the outside world. These things are not for me to decide. I will not express any views on transfers and signings.

This is a neutral statement, but at the same time it can also be seen as a concession from Messi.

As a star of Barcelona, ​​Messi certainly does not want his team to introduce superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo to share his role and influence within the team. Even the joining of Portuguese superstars will definitely shake Messi's tactical role in the team, such as the right to fire.

A year ago, when Barcelona signed Neymar, Messi's attitude was to welcome, but now he refuses to express his views. This is very subtle. It proves that Messi is unwilling, but he has no choice but to accept it.

"What do you think about Real Madrid?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

In the past month, he has been traveling, on vacation, from France to Germany to Northern Europe, from Northern Europe to Eastern Europe to Turkey, and then he wants to go to Ukraine and Russia, which is where he and Su Ye both want to go.

During the tour, he did not follow up the news from the outside world in time, and the news was not smooth.

"You also know that Real Madrid's attitude towards Cristiano Ronaldo has always been ambiguous, especially the top management, who have a clear stand for both support and opposition, and now Mendes' annual salary for Barcelona is very high, keeping pace with Messi. This puts a lot of pressure on Real Madrid, so Florentino shifted his target and attacked Suarez."

After Florentino entered the palace for the second time, there is a very obvious, but not much noticed by the outside world, that is, he attaches great importance to the team's salary structure. Even this summer, he did not hesitate to sell Pepe and let Arbeloa transfer freely.

For a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo, salary represents his status in the team. He will not easily tolerate the status quo that he is lower than Messi, so Barcelona can only offer him the same treatment as Messi.

"Do they really have that much money?" Yang Yang was a little suspicious.

Barcelona's finances are not abundant. Although the fee was high after winning the Champions League last season, the team currently has two world-class stars, Messi and Neymar, who are also big salary earners. Will there be another Cristiano Ronaldo?

"God knows?" Raiola shook his head and laughed, "But there's nothing Russell can do now. More and more people have dug out the inside story of his handling of Neymar's transfer. Barcelona may even spend over 5000 million in order to get Neymar, instead of the rumored [-] million. Do you think Barcelona fans will spare him?"

Yang Yang understood that Roselle was somewhat ill and went to the doctor in a hurry, and wanted to introduce superstars to appease the fans, and at the same time use achievements to defend his chairmanship.

This is a drawback of membership voting.

Of course, Florentino was also selected by this method.

However, Barcelona's lineup is indeed unbelievably luxurious now.

The frontcourt offensive combination includes Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Sanchez and Pedro. Although Villa is sent away, the lineup is still extremely luxurious. This is definitely the top attacking combination in world football today.

As for how to coordinate the appearance and performance of these stars, it depends on the performance of coach Martino.

In terms of midfield, the iron triangle of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets is still the top in the world. In addition to Cesc Fabregas and other powerful stars, although Thiago moved to Bayern Munich, Barcelona's midfield is still the strongest.

The only weakness is the defense, which is a major weakness of Barcelona. I believe that after spending money to introduce Cristiano Ronaldo this year, it is basically impossible to buy David Luiz again.

Some media broke the news before that Barcelona wanted to force Paris Saint-Germain's Thiago Silva, but Paris Saint-Germain directly stated in reverse that if Barcelona forced Thiago Silva, they would force Messi, which scared Barcelona.

This is the richness of the local tyrants!

……

The reason why Mino Raiola appeared in Istanbul, Turkey was not to send news to Yang Yang. This Italian fat man, who was not profitable but not early, was not so active. He came for his own players.

This year's World Youth Championship was held in Turkey. Paul Pogba, the core midfielder of the French team, is a player of Raiola and is currently playing for Juventus. This time he was assigned to the same group as Spain, so Raiola came to watch the game.

Yang Yang also wanted to watch the World Youth Championship, so he traveled to Turkey, otherwise, he would go directly to Ukraine.

Yesterday, he happened to watch the match between the Spanish national youth team and the French national youth team in Istanbul. Spain won [-]-[-]. Jesse scored a key goal to help Spain win, while Pogba equalized the score for the French team.

There are many Real Madrid players in the Spanish National Youth Team in this World Youth Championship, and they all performed well, and the French team also performed well. Jesse and Pogba are the best of the two teams, and they are also the most eye-catching players in this World Youth Championship.

"I feel that the two most promising teams in this World Youth Championship will meet in the group stage ahead of schedule."

Talking about the World Youth Championship, Yang Yang was quite sad about the encounter between Spain and France.

Needless to say, Spain, in the past few years, the youth training has shined through, rookies have emerged in an endless stream, and they have been leading the football trends and trends, making the Spanish youth team's record extremely shining, and the overall strength of this year is also very strong.

France is also amazing, and the new generation of players headed by Pogba is also extraordinary.

Although the French team lost to Spain [-]-[-] and was forced to rank second in the group, overall, the French team is still quite strong, and there is a great possibility of a counterattack.

Of course, Spain is still a big favourite.

"Let him continue to practice at Juventus." Raiola narrowed his eyes and smiled.

In Yang Yang's view, Raiola's face was covered with two words, "Health Quotient".

Just like Yang Yang chose Raiola in the past, this Italian agent is best at negotiation and long-term career planning. For example, he has done a good job in planning for Yang Yang and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as well as planning for Pogba.

During the Manchester United period, Ferguson was very optimistic about Pogba, but he was unwilling to give him a chance too early, so Pogba moved to Juventus. As a result, the French midfielder directly played in Juventus as the main midfielder and helped Juventus win the championship. His performance is also remarkable and his potential is limitless.

At the age of 20, he was able to play the core main force in a veteran giant team like Juventus. Raiola's planning behind him is indispensable, and only one year later, Manchester United will probably regret this little-known youth training player at the beginning, especially now.

Yang Yang is very clear that with Pogba's current rise and growth rate, it won't take long for Serie A and Juventus to satisfy him. At that time, he will definitely go further and jump directly to a stronger giant and a wider platform.

Either the Premier League or La Liga, and if he goes to La Liga, only Real Madrid and Barcelona can satisfy him.

That's why Raiola said, let him continue to practice at Juventus.

"Real Madrid's Jesse also performed very well. It can be seen that he has improved a lot after training with you for a year." Raiola looked at Yang Yang and laughed.

Inside Real Madrid, everyone called Hesse Yang Yang's apprentice. Everyone thought he was very similar to Yang Yang, because they both played on the left side, and their overall style and characteristics were very similar, especially after Raul handed Hesse to Yang Yang.

When this kid is not playing in the first team, he will go to the second team to play in the Second Division. He was the best player in the Second Division last season, and he is also the three best rookies in the Official Selection of the Second Division.

"This kid can't help boasting. If he performs better, he will turn his tail. This is not acceptable. You still need to beat and beat hard. Young players still need to be down-to-earth, and more exercise is the right way." Yang Yang also had a look of joy when he mentioned Hesse.

Jesse scored 22 goals and got [-] assists in the West Second Division last season. His performance is really eye-catching, but Yang Yang himself is very clear that there are too many unknown factors for young players.

Besides, the professional league is a vanity fair, all kinds of temptations are everywhere, so we must stay vigilant.

But Raiola really saw that, although Yang Yang was reluctant to admit it, in fact, he really taught Hesse as his apprentice, otherwise, he would not have made a special trip to Turkey to watch him play.
