Chapter 904 The Priceless Treasure
Entering February, La Liga has played 22 rounds, and Barcelona topped the list with a nine-point lead.

After the Derby of the Century, Guardiola's team led the way with a nine-game winning streak.

Everyone knows that it is not that Real Madrid is not strong, but that Barcelona is too strong and stable.

So far this season, Real Madrid's performance can be divided into two parts. In the first eleven rounds, Yang Yang has been recuperating from his injuries. Real Madrid lost points in a row and fell behind Barcelona by as many as ten points. After Yang Yang returned in the next eleven rounds, Real Madrid scored 31 wins and [-] draw, scoring [-] points.

That is to say, starting from the No.12 round, Real Madrid only drew one game, tied with Almeria, and it was still an away game.

Everyone can see that if it wasn't for the loss of too many points in the first [-] rounds, which caused the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona to widen, then the two teams still have to fight now, and who will have the last laugh doesn't know.

And it is not difficult to see from the two [-]-round games before and after that, Yang Yang is really important to the current Real Madrid team.

Especially in the recent consecutive [-]-[-] games, and the [-]-[-] away game with Almeria, if Yang Yang is not there, then these games are very likely to continue to lose points, or even lose.

In the final analysis, Real Madrid's overall strength is still not strong enough.

……

"On paper, our squad is as good as Barcelona's, if not better."

After the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final match, in the Bernabeu chairman's stand, Real Madrid chairman Florentino was talking eagerly with two consultants Valdano and Zidane, as well as the butler Manuel Redondo.

All around them, Real Madrid fans were celebrating their team's progress to the Copa del Rey final.

At this moment, they forgot that their opponent in the final was Barcelona.

Valdano, as an experienced coach, has a very clear understanding of the situation of the two teams. He does not think that Real Madrid is stronger than Barcelona.

Although from the perspective of the lineup, Real Madrid is better than Barcelona, ​​which has a thin bench.

"But in fact, if we get to the court, we still don't have much chance of winning. At best, it's [-]-[-], and Yang Yang must be present, otherwise, we will be completely at a disadvantage."

Zidane is a legendary star with rich professional experience, and he has a very deep understanding of football. Florentino and Manuel Redondo are both old fans for many years, and they have a deep understanding. Naturally, they immediately heard Valdano's voice.

System bonus!
Real Madrid is not without teamwork. Yang Yang has cooperated with other teammates for a year, and has cooperated with Xavi Alonso and others for many years. The tacit understanding has long been established, but the entire tactical system of Barcelona has lasted in this club for 20 years, or even longer. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique and other players have all grown up in this system since childhood.

It can be said that this system is deeply engraved into the soul of Barcelona players.

They go on the field and they know how to play football and how to cooperate.

If Barcelona is like a well-disciplined battle formation, then Real Madrid is more like stragglers.

Although the latter seems to have stronger individual strength and a tacit cooperation, but when it comes to the battlefield, they still can't beat the opponent.

However, this set of tactical system and philosophy of Barcelona is something other teams simply cannot learn.

They are unique in the whole world!
In addition to this unique tactical system in the world, Barcelona also has a group of unborn talents such as Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, which has greatly improved Barcelona's overall strength.

As long as they are there, the lower limit of Barcelona's strength is guaranteed.

Real Madrid is not envious of this, nor will they be jealous. Everyone in the team thinks more, and what they think the most is how to surpass and defeat their opponents.

If they want to beat Barcelona, ​​then Real Madrid must keep Yang Yang.

"Is the intelligence from France reliable?" Florentino asked Zidane with concern, with a worried expression on his face.

Zidane nodded, "It is almost certain that the Qataris have acquired Paris Saint-Germain. Their goal this summer is to acquire the world's top superstars. The first consideration is Yang Yang."

The Qatar consortium was very close to Manchester United last summer, but the offer made by the Glazer family frightened them. This caused the Qatar consortium to abandon Manchester United, but turned their guns and chose Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue [-].

The team has changed, but the goal remains the same.

"Damn it, are these Qataris crazy?" Manuel Redondo said worriedly.

Zidane smiled bitterly, "As far as I know, their purpose of buying football teams is not to make money, but for the World Cup. For them, buying a team and the top superstar is like advertising."

Although this advertising fee may be extravagant, the effect it will bring will be quite amazing.

Not to mention anything else, if they bought Yang Yang for [-] million euros, they would appear in the newspapers of the world's media every week after that. Leaving aside the competition level, it seems to be very cost-effective in terms of advertising effects, not to mention the amazing market scale of China and Asia behind Yang Yang.

"Jorge, what do you think?" Florentino asked Valdano.

The Argentine also frowned, "Yang Yang is only 24 years old. From the perspective of career development, there is no need for him to go to Ligue [-] at this time, but there is no guarantee that Paris Saint-Germain will not lure you with a lot of money and offer a sky-high annual salary."

Speaking of which, Valdano sighed, "Looking at the past few games, Yang Yang was the savior in almost every game. Without him, the point gap between us and Barcelona must have widened to more than ten points. La Liga ended early, and there is also the Copa del Rey. Whether it is against Levante, Atletico Madrid or Sevilla, he has played a key role."

Florentino, Redondo and Zidane all watched Valdano one after another, and they all knew very clearly Yang Yang's contribution to this team, and they also knew very well the importance of Yang Yang to Real Madrid.

"Although it may not be fair to other players to say this, but..." Valdano hesitated, finally gritted his teeth and said, "Without Yang Yang, our competitiveness will at least drop by a level."

Real Madrid and Barcelona are not only the two giants of La Liga today, but they are also proper double giants in the European arena. In terms of team strength, it is difficult for several other teams to compete with the two giants.

Of course, it is normal for each other to win and lose in the game.

But if Real Madrid's overall strength drops by a level, wouldn't it be the same as other giants?

So how does Real Madrid maintain their detached position in European football?Why to attract the favor of other top stars?
Isn't that why Real Madrid couldn't recruit superstars during Calderon's administration?

Valdano is in charge of Real Madrid's athletic affairs. From his words, it is not difficult to see the importance of Yang Yang to Real Madrid.

So here comes the question, how much is a superstar who can help Real Madrid's overall competitiveness to a higher level worth?

Priceless!

Yang Yang is to Real Madrid, just like Messi is to Barcelona, ​​they cannot be sold no matter what!

If you can't sell it, you have to keep it.

"Is there any movement on Raiola's side?" Florentino asked.

"No, he seems to be busy with a Manchester United player named Paul Pogba recently." Redondo replied.

"Paul Pogba?" Florentino had never heard of the name.

Zidane took over the words at this time, "A young French teenager, currently playing in the Manchester United youth academy, has great potential."

As a special advisor to the chairman of Real Madrid, Zidane is also responsible for recommending promising stars for Real Madrid, especially in Ligue [-]. At present, Zidane has recommended many players for Real Madrid, and one of them will join Real Madrid this summer.

"Raiola is busy with other people's affairs, which proves that Yang Yang has no intention of leaving the team. Otherwise, Raiola should go back and forth between Madrid and Paris at this time, instead of running to Manchester frequently." Valdano analyzed.

Regarding Yang Yang's character, the four core executives of Real Madrid are also familiar with and understand. They believe that Yang Yang will not do something that violates professional ethics. More importantly, Yang Yang is an ambitious person. Such a person will not give up the stage of Real Madrid at the age of 24, when he is about to enter the golden age of professional players, and choose Ligue [-] Paris.

It can be said that this is the case, and the reason is the same, but Real Madrid still has to give a clear attitude.

"What about Sanchez?" Florentino asked again.

Jose Sanchez, head of commercial affairs at Real Madrid.

"He believes that Yang Yang still has quite astonishing commercial value to be discovered." Redondo replied.

"What about the finance department?"

"They think that the finances are relatively ample, and they can support us to renew the contract with Yang Yang."

Yang Yang joined Real Madrid in [-]. Last year he won the double crown. Real Madrid gave him a large bonus according to the contract. In addition, he also paid an additional bonus for the double crown. It can be said that the treatment is very generous, but he did not mention the contract renewal.

At present, Yang Yang is still the player with the highest salary in football today, a full 500 million euros more than the second-ranked Messi.

"Then call Raiola, talk to Yang Yang about renewing the contract, and further increase the liquidated damages, at least to [-] million." Florentino said worriedly. Under the threat of the group of local tyrants behind Paris Saint-Germain, he felt that the [-] million liquidated damages could no longer ensure that Yang Yang stayed in Real Madrid.

Even [-] million may not be reassuring.

Florentino is not worried about Yang Yang's salary increase after contract renewal, because Yang Yang's commercial acquisitions are amazing, especially under the development of Real Madrid's business department, Yang Yang's commercial value is rising year by year.

Over the past year or so, Real Madrid has made a lot of money in this area.

Even if it is this time to renew the contract and raise Yang Yang's salary, Real Madrid can fully afford it.

Florentino stood up from his seat, looked deeply at Yang Yang at the bottom of the court, and muttered to himself: "Let him stay at the Bernabeu no matter what!"

His tone was extremely firm.
