The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 379 Two Requirements
On the morning of December 12th, a car bomb attack occurred at Madrid Capital International Airport. The separatist group from the Basque nation once again occupied the front pages of newspapers and TV news. Everyone was shocked by their actions.

The car bomb attack caused panic across Madrid and Spain and led to the absence of many players from Real Madrid's first post-Christmas training camp as the capital's airport suspended almost all domestic and international flights .

But Beckham was not affected by the bomb attack at all, and became one of the few foreign players who came to the training camp in the Baldbebas training base except for many local players including Raul. In order to return to Spain from Japan, he took a private plane, so he was not affected by the bomb attack at the international airport.

Paying more money has only one purpose, to catch up with the team's training camp on time.

Even if, his status in the team seems to be on the wane!
Few people, coach Fabio Capello communicated with almost every player who arrived at the team on time, except Beckham.

Beckham has forgotten how long he has not said even a word to Capello. The two even learned a lot about each other through reporters and media reports. For example, Beckham Ham learned from the newspaper that Capello was very dissatisfied with him not only at the beginning of the season, but also because he attended Tom Cruise's wedding while recovering from his injuries, but the problem is that he said this at the beginning .

"One day, when I am old, I will definitely be the same as you are now!" Captain Raul once talked about his views on this matter full of embarrassment during a private exchange.

Not only because Beckham went to his friend's wedding while he was recovering from his injuries, but also because he was not in Capello's plan from the very beginning, otherwise, why did Capello announce the purge list except for Ronaldo when he came to power? , including Beckham and Raul?

Beckham and Raul have many similarities. For example, they don’t like to admit defeat easily, so even though Capello announced that they are no longer in the plan from the beginning, both of them still work hard to prove themselves. , and Raul did it and did it well, while Beckham lacked opportunities.

Due to insufficient numbers, the training could not be carried out, but Capello asked all the players to arrange training programs for themselves, and then he took his assistants away, while Beckham and Raul were training on the training ground by themselves .

They are all veterans. If they don't work harder than young people in training, their state cannot be guaranteed at all!
This is why even though many people think that Raul is old, he is still the leader of the team. The prestige established by a single drop.

And even though Beckham was rejected by Capello, his popularity within the team is already very good, including Raul and others are very close to him. Many people who opposed him joining Real Madrid in the past have now turned to He was accepted, also because of Beckham's commitment and diligence in training and games.

Sometimes, that's just how it is with people, when one side of you is too bright, people ignore the other side of you!
After training until they were sweating, and when they felt the same, Beckham, Raul and other talents stopped the morning training session, and when they were about to walk out of the training ground, they saw the club's general manager Mijatovic standing outside .

Raul glanced at Beckham with some concern, patted him on the shoulder, and left alone.

Although he is the captain of the team and has high prestige and influence in the team, he has no way to stop the team from wanting to sell a player, especially when he himself is not sure about the situation. There is no need for him to go into such muddy waters when he wonders whether a player can still help the team even if he stays.

Sometimes the captain is the communication bridge between the team and the coaching staff and the management, but if you control too much because of this, it is not a good thing. On the contrary, the first unlucky person is you, especially in a team like Real Madrid. This is even more so in the giants.

"We hope that you and your agent can come to the Bernabeu sometime today, and let's have a good talk." Mijatovic's suit and leather shoes, without the slightest trace of playing football back then, looked more like a An elegant Spanish gentleman.

Beckham raised his head and glanced at Mijatovic, "If the club still insists on not making concessions on portrait rights, then we don't need to talk more, but I still want to emphasize again, I hope to stay Real Madrid!"

"Then why didn't you give in?" Mijatovic frowned, this damn Englishman was too tough.

Beckham felt very annoyed after hearing this. He had done this kind of lip-smacking trick countless times in the past six months. He even felt that Capello was squeezing him out. One of the important reasons was to coerce him He made concessions on the issue of contract renewal, but there were two things he absolutely could not give up.

"I only need you to agree to two conditions, the portrait rights and the main position, and I can let the rest!"

For a long time in the past, the media kept hyping and exaggerating, saying that Beckham asked for a higher salary and so on. Just these two things from beginning to end.

The main position is to ensure his own state. He hopes to participate in the 2008 European Cup and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and even the 2012 Olympic Games held in the UK. That is a dream honor for him. He must Persist until that moment, so he wants the main position, but it does not mean that he will play in every game.

As for portrait rights, in the past period of time, Beckham has felt that someone in the club is operating indiscriminately.

Ever since Florentino and his team stepped down, and as soon as the new chairman and team came up, the club's authorization issue has become an issue that the outside world does not know, but the players suffer from it, especially for Beckham. For stars whose portrait rights are very popular, it is even more brutal.

Sponsors have complained countless times to Beckham and his agent about the problem of random authorization, and Beckham himself has not received even a penny from it, but what about the income from those authorizations?Where did it all go?

Mijatovic knows Beckham's strengths, because his contract has only half a year left. He is the most dazzling superstar in the current Real Madrid team. Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo and other superstars have successively After leaving, Beckham seemed to be the only remaining superstar introduced by Florentino.

"We still need to discuss your request with the head coach and the management, but I have no way to guarantee it!" Mijatovic was very helpless, and he was unwilling to sell Beckham if it could be resolved through negotiation. "But I still hope that you and your agent can come to the Bernabeu to talk. The club's attitude is very clear. Except for the main position, everything else remains the same!"

Business as usual means that everything will be signed under the same contract as Florentino’s period, but Real Madrid will get half of Beckham’s portrait rights. This is Beckham’s trust in Florentino at the beginning. But it doesn't mean that he is still willing to do this now, because the Beckham brand must not be folded in the hands of these people.

Many people just saw that Beckham was very good after he came to Real Madrid. Some people even thought that it was his arrival that caused Real Madrid to fail to achieve results. Actually?
Beckham thinks it’s hard to say who is at the competitive level, but at the economic level, it’s true that he has a high salary, but he has also made a lot of money for Real Madrid, but after coming to Real Madrid, some of his personal sponsorship However, his influence and influence have been affected, the most famous of which is Vodafone's announcement in 05 that he would not renew his contract, which caused him heavy losses.

This is not just Vodafone's sponsorship, it directly caused some other sponsors to abandon Beckham, and in the recent period, the occurrence of random licensing incidents has made Beckham almost devastated, but the reporters don't know all this , and will not pay attention to it, but can Beckham say it?

There are a lot of details and interests involved, not just Beckham himself, not just Real Madrid, but also many, many aspects, such as taxes.

Who hasn't evaded taxes?If someone from a top star dares to say that he has not escaped tax through some marginal methods, who will believe it?

"As I said, I only ask for two things, the main commitment and portrait rights!" Beckham insisted on his attitude.

Mijatovic smiled helplessly, "So there's nothing to talk about?"

Beckham also turned his head and looked at the shrewd general manager of Real Madrid. He is not an idiot, "Didn't you release the news early in the morning to attract potential buyers? I also heard that Chelsea has already actively participated. Is it true?" ?"

Mijatovic saw that since he said it, he no longer concealed it, "Yes, there are now three or four Premier League teams interested in you, and Chelsea is at the forefront. We have indeed had contact with them. "

Beckham couldn't help shaking his head after hearing this, "I can't go to Chelsea!"

The Blues are indeed very strong, but the problem is that this team now has a very mature structure and a very stable main lineup. It is impossible for him to go to a team that cannot guarantee that he can play. If he wants to go to such a team , then why doesn't he just stay at Real Madrid?
"I have to remind you, David, no team is willing to commit to your main position now!" Mijatovic said with certainty that those Premier League teams interested in Beckham are more likely to get him. The signboard of Beckham and the influence brought by this signboard.

Who would commit to the main position for a player who is about to be 32 years old and has not been able to play for a long time?

There may be, such as the downstream teams of the Premier League, but is such a team worthy of Beckham?Will he go?

In fact, during the six months when Beckham and Real Madrid were arguing about contract renewal, only one American club had in-depth contact with him, and some other teams were at best talking in the media, that's all.

Watching the back of Mijatovic leaving, Beckham stood on the cement road beside the training ground. He didn't know what kind of expression he should make, because he had never thought about this aspect before. For a long time in the past, I never thought that I would fall to this point one day.

Perhaps, as Raul said, this is the cruelty of professional football.

Every professional player will grow old one day and be abandoned, no matter how brilliant he once was!
Perhaps, Zidane is the smartest person, because he chose to leave at the most beautiful time, and he left without any attachment or hesitation.

But, that's Zidane, and Beckham can never become Zidane!
Beckham returned to his home in the north of Madrid from Valdebebas. On the way, he passed the Madrid Capital Airport. He saw that there were many policemen stationed at every intersection there, checking and checking, obviously to prevent terrorists from attacking again. attack.

After a short period of congestion, when I returned home, my wife Victoria and her agent Simon Fowler were discussing something in the living room. As soon as Beckham entered, he threw away the car keys and lay down on the soft sofa tiredly. , Talking about the conversation with Mijatovic just now.

"I'm almost sure that the authorization must have something to do with him. They are using this method to coerce you to renew your contract!" Simon Fowler said this in a very affirmative tone. He also has his own channels and sources of information.

Victoria shook her head, "That's impossible. We have worked so hard to build everything we have today. It is impossible to just ruin it in their hands. At worst, we will leave Real Madrid. I don't believe there will be no club that wants David."

Simon Fowler also nodded: "Yes, yes, Chelsea really want David. This team is the number one favorite to win the Premier League this season, and it is even regarded as the favorite team in the Champions League. The fastest rising team in the Premier League for several years, and they are in London!"

Speaking of London, both the Beckhams are inexplicably excited, not only because they are both from London, but because Beckham has always been regarded as a signature figure of the London Olympics, and Victoria has always been They all feel that everything must be done to maintain Beckham's banner as the iconic figure of the London Olympics.

"Can they guarantee the main position?" Beckham asked.

Simon Fowler looked at Victoria, who shook his head helplessly. This was Beckham's insistence. He wanted to return to the Premier League, while Victoria wanted him to go to the United States.

"Chelsea has a huge lineup of players. They can't guarantee the main position, but the salary remains the same, and they are willing to give us all the portrait rights. This is Peter Kenyon calling me personally."

After hearing this, Beckham suddenly asked with a wry smile, "Will I become the second Shevchenko?"

who knows?No one can answer this question!
A transfer represents a risk. No one knows what will happen after the transfer, so we can only avoid it as much as possible.

"There is another team, I think you can also consider it, Tottenham Hotspur from North London!"

As soon as Simon Fowler finished speaking, Beckham frowned, "That team from Ye Qiu?"

"Yes!" Simon Fowler nodded, "I got the news that they, like Chelsea, are in contact with Real Madrid. I believe you should be very clear that the most urgent thing for Real Madrid now is to renew the contract." , if you refuse to renew your contract, you will be sold during the winter break, so they can accept any price now."

"This team's record seems to be terrible!" Beckham frowned and shook his head.

"Yes, the performance of this team has indeed fluctuated a lot this season. Many media even called it Ye Qiu's Waterloo, but after entering December, the performance of this team has been steady. Climbing up, currently ranked fifth in the Premier League, just behind the traditional top four, and it is playing offensive football, which is very popular."

"Ranked fifth..." Beckham was chewing on this sentence. He also attaches great importance to the team's performance. He will definitely not go to a team that is too bad. For example, going to a team that may be relegated anytime, anywhere team, this is unacceptable to him.

"Of course, no one knows whether they will fall back again, because they almost entered the relegation zone a few months ago." Simon Fowler said with a wry smile. No one can guarantee this result, right?
Victoria was listening all the time, and interjected to ask, "Is what you are talking about the team that Eliza Moon works for?"

"Yes, Tottenham Hotspur!" Simon Fowler nodded.

Victoria laughed after hearing this, "If it's really this team, you can think about it. Eliza Moon and I are good friends. I can call to find out, or ask Ye Qiu out to talk with you. talk."

"Tottenham Hotspur is a team with great potential. They are young and powerful. In the past, they lacked attention and the media rarely reported on them. But after Ye Qiu took over the team strongly, look Now newspapers, even newspapers in Spain, report their games every round, and the world is paying more and more attention to them."

"Moreover, I heard that they are negotiating and negotiating with the London City Government and the Olympic Organizing Committee, preparing to take ownership of the main venue after the Olympic Games. In addition, they are spending [-] million euros to build a new training base in Hertford. An ambitious team."

Regarding all of Tottenham Hotspur, some Beckham knew, and some he did not know, so he was somewhat surprised after hearing it, and he also felt from Simon Fowler's words. To the future of Tottenham Hotspur.

"But what surprised me the most was the team's ability to operate!" Simon Fowler shook his head with a wry smile.

"Guess who are their two major sponsors?"

Beckham and Victoria shook their heads when they heard this, because they rarely paid attention to this aspect of the news.

"Adidas and Vodafone!" Simon Fowler laughed.

"Isn't Adidas going to sponsor Chelsea? Also, isn't Vodafone not sponsoring the team?" Beckham was a little surprised, because he knew very well that sometimes such main sponsors not only bring in sponsorship fees , as well as potential value and influence.

For example, there will be many other sponsors who also sponsor your team because your main sponsor has enough weight, because for some sponsors, being with world-class companies such as Adidas and Vodafone, this is An honor and affirmation.

"That's why I said, this is a team with a great future!" Simon Fowler laughed.

After hearing this, Beckham thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then, Simon, you should get in touch with them."

Just as Simon Fowler nodded in agreement, Victoria's cell phone rang next to Beckham, and the caller ID showed Eliza Moon!
