Chapter 760
"Good morning, Florentino!"

In the private cafe of the hotel where Liverpool stayed, Yang Yang met Florentino, the only candidate for the chairmanship of Real Madrid.

He was accompanied by Yang Yang's agent, Mino Raiola, and Florentino's senior personal assistant, Manuel Redondo, who was also fully responsible for implementing the plan to return to Real Madrid.

"Congratulations!" Florentino smiled and took Yang Yang's hand firmly. "Last night's game performance was really great. I was sitting in the stands, and everyone was admiring your performance. I heard that Prince William and Gordon Brown even went to the locker room to congratulate you."

Yang Yang nodded with a smile, this is what happened last night.

Prince William is the representative of the royal family, and Prime Minister Gordon Brown is the representative of the government. They all went to the Liverpool dressing room after the game to celebrate with the players and congratulate Liverpool on winning the quadruple crown.

In fact, as early as the FA Cup final, Prince William had already presented awards to Liverpool as a representative of the royal family.

This has always been the tradition of the FA Cup final.

In addition to Prince William and Prime Minister Brown, the Queen of England sent congratulatory messages to Liverpool early this morning, and governments at all levels also sent congratulatory messages to congratulate Liverpool on their outstanding performance in the Champions League.

This is not only a victory on the pitch, but also allows Liverpool's reputation in English football to climb to the highest point again.

It is a pity that Liverpool is subject to financial constraints, coupled with the poor operation of the two American owners, the team's situation has become difficult to maintain, otherwise, with the current situation of Liverpool, it is not impossible to continue to dominate the Premier League.

Missed this god-given opportunity, God knows when will Liverpool's next chance be?
However, these are not what Yang Yang should care about, after all he is just a player.

……

Florentino's visit was because Mino Raiola and Yang Yang communicated with Yang Yang after the game last night, because Florentino will return to Madrid at noon today to prepare for his next election for the chairman of Real Madrid.

Although no competitor has appeared so far, Florentino still dare not be careless, and even if he really takes office, he still has a lot of things to do.

The arrival of Florentino, in addition to congratulating Yang Yang on winning the championship, also wants to consult Yang Yang's opinion on the formation of Real Madrid in the new season. After all, Yang Yang will be the most important core combat force in the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship that he has high hopes for.

Florentino clearly told Yang Yang that he has basically reached an agreement with AC Milan on the transfer of Kaka.

"This transfer will be announced after I take office as president of Real Madrid. Yesterday, I met with Zlatan Ibrahimovic in private. He told me clearly that if you decide to transfer to Real Madrid, he is also willing to join the Bernabeu."

Florentino said a sentence in a very flat tone that might shock the whole world.

Kaka and Ibrahimovic, these two are the top superstars in the world.

Even if Yang Yang knew about it long ago, he was somewhat surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that Florentino's work efficiency was so fast, and he took care of Kaka and Ibrahimovic so easily.

However, being able to compete with players like Kaka and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also quite exciting for Yang Yang, especially considering that the team's offense will become stronger in the future.

"In terms of midfield, the only candidate we are currently sure of is Xavi Alonso." Manuel Redondo took the words and took the initiative to introduce the team's current signings.

"We have had contact with Harvey Alonso's agent, and he told us clearly that as long as he can convince Liverpool, he is willing to move to Real Madrid. He is looking forward to continuing to be your teammate."

After hearing this, Yang Yang couldn't help smiling.

He and Harvey Alonso got along very well. The most important thing was that the two of them didn't like much excitement, so the night before the game, they were often arranged in the same room, and their friendship grew day by day.

In addition, Su Ye has a close relationship with Harvey Alonso's wife.

Harvey Alonso had probed Yang Yang before, and Yang Yang told him with certainty that he basically went to Real Madrid.

"Defensively, we consider buying Arbeloa back. You know, he is a player from our youth training, and he is the captain of all levels of the youth training team. He has performed very well after joining Liverpool. We are very optimistic about him."

Yang Yang was not surprised by this either.

Real Madrid currently has no one in the right back position. Salgado is 34 years old, and youth player Miguel Torres is only 23 years old. Both experience and performance are still unsatisfactory. Therefore, it is only natural to introduce a reliable right back.

Last season, Real Madrid used Ramos more as a right back, and this player also performed very well, but many people have always believed that Ramos is more suitable to play as a center back than a right back.

"In terms of central defenders, we have basically confirmed a signing."

When Manuel Redondo said this, he looked at Yang Yang meaningfully, which made him feel very strange.

"Who?"

"Thomas Vermaelen."

"Ah?" Yang Yang was taken aback, and then turned his head to look at the agent Raiola, who seemed to be saying, yes, that's right, you guessed it right.

Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Thomas Vermaelen are all Raiola's players, and the three of them have a close relationship. Now Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic have transferred to Real Madrid, and Raiola brought Vermaelen there. It must be somewhat selfish, but this is also a normal thing.

For Vermaelen's strength, Yang Yang has no doubts. He believes that his friend has the strength to gain a foothold in the top European leagues, but the crux of the problem is that Real Madrid's current central defender position is also full of talents.

Cannavaro, Ramos, Pepe, Metzelder and Heinze can all play this position. Will Vermaelen have a chance?And if you don't get the chance to play, why bother to sit on the bench?
As if guessing what Yang Yang was thinking, Manuel Redondo explained with a smile, "We do have the idea of ​​bringing in a capable central defender, and we have also seriously examined Vermaelen, and we all think it is very suitable."

"According to the performance of this season, the veterans Heinze and Cannavaro will basically leave the team. The youth training player Xavi Garcia can play the two positions of midfielder and central defender. We also consider loaning him out. Therefore, in the position of central defender, we still need to introduce a strong player."

When Yang Yang heard this, he felt relieved secretly, and was replaced by joy.

After all, they are old friends who have known each other for many years. It is a pleasure to meet each other in Real Madrid.

"In addition to Cannavaro and Heinze, the veteran Salgado will basically leave the team. Forber's loan period has expired, and we are not considering renewing his contract. Parejo, Saviola, Huntelaar, Sneijder and Robben and other players, we are all considering arrangements for the transfer market."

Although Florentino threatened to have a transfer fee of [-] million euros, the prospective chairman of Real Madrid attaches great importance to the team's financial health and salary structure control. After the introduction of Yang Yang, Kaka and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Real Madrid's salary structure must have increased significantly. Therefore, it is necessary to sell several high-paid players to reduce salary pressure.

The Dutch gang is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, but these players must be sold at a discount.

When Yang Yang thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Sneijder. He felt that he still had to say something fair for his old friend.

"Florentino, originally I shouldn't interfere too much with the team's transfer operations, but I have a few ideas that I hope can provide you with some reference." Yang Yang paused, and then added, "Of course, I'm just expressing my personal opinion, without any other meaning."

After hearing this, Florentino glanced at Manuel Redondo, and when they exchanged glances, they both clearly sensed each other's intentions.

In fact, they more or less guessed what Yang Yang was going to say.

Although Yang Yang said it politely, with his current status, Florentino had to pay attention to and even accept his opinions, even if they were somewhat inconsistent with the club's plan.

"You say." Florentino smiled and nodded.

"I know Sneijder. I have been teammates with him for four years at Ajax. We are best friends. The reason why he performed poorly this year is of course his own reasons, but there are also some objective factors."

"At the beginning of the season, he recuperated for three months, then he had emotional disputes with his ex-wife, and then for a long time, he often hang out in nightclubs, which is why Real Madrid fans are dissatisfied with him."

Florentino nodded. Ordinary fans may not be aware of these news, but Florentino knows it very well. Naturally, he also knows the crux of Sneijder.

"Do you think he can return to his best form?" Florentino asked with concern.

"I have confidence in him." Yang Yang said with certainty, "He wants to prove himself again in Real Madrid now. As for whether to stay or stay after the proof, I respect the club's decision."

With the current situation of Sneijder, if he is really kicked out, the team he will go to may not be very good. After all, he was too disappointing in the past season, and as a friend, what Yang Yang can do is to help him say a few words.

He believed in Sneijder's determination, and also believed that he had such strength.

"What about Robben?" Manuel Redondo shifted the question away from Sneijder.

Robben's performance in Real Madrid is actually not bad. As long as he can return to the court, he is basically the best player in Real Madrid.

Dribbling the ball from the right and cutting inside is one of Robben's forte.
