Chapter 310 The Final Showdown
And Li Yuxin went to watch the Barcelona game, and was also hyped by the media. They all thought it was a sign that Li Yuxin was about to transfer. Regarding this view, Li Yuxin, Barcelona and Arsenal officials all denied it, but the media was still hyping it up. However, Arsenal fans have calmed down after so many times, so naturally they will not be incited.

And now Arsenal ranks third in the league, with only 3 league rounds left, 7 points behind the top Manchester United, it is already difficult to compete for the championship, but the Champions League Arsenal is very likely to enter the final again, so the next focus is on the Champions League and according to my own understanding. This is Cristiano Ronaldo's last season in the Premier League, and history has not changed!

And Li Yuxin knew it from a text message from Cristiano Ronaldo,
last year:

If someone asks, who is the hottest superstar in world football in 2007, everyone will tell you, Kaka!

If someone asks again, who is the most influential superstar in world football in 2008?

There is no doubt that everyone will point to the British Isles in the northwest of the Europa continent and tell you that the Portuguese from Manchester United, Cristiano?Ronaldo!
He scored 34 goals and 31 assists in 7 appearances in the Premier League, scored 11 goals and 8 assist in 1 appearances in the UEFA Champions League, and scored 4 goals in 3 appearances in other cup competitions. According to the statistics of the whole season, he scored 49 goals and 42 assists in 8 appearances. Except for Li Yuxin, his prestige is higher than that of Li Yuxin because of the victory of the team glory!
With such a statistic, even the top striker is a bit ashamed, not to mention that Cristiano Ronaldo is only a winger, but relying on his super scoring momentum this season, he not only sent Manchester United to the championship, but also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Therefore, when Portugal arrived in Neuchâtel, it immediately caused the city to move. Almost everyone wanted to see the Portuguese superstar with their own eyes. Everyone paid 10 euros for a ticket to see the Portuguese training.

Even such a training ticket is still sold out 3 days in advance, which shows the influence of Cristiano Ronaldo in Switzerland.

A training session attracted 1 spectators. This undoubtedly became the biggest hot topic before the start of the European Cup, but the even hotter topic was that the two giants of La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​both took a fancy to Cristiano Ronaldo at the same time, which also made the Portuguese the hottest superstar in the transfer market.

Real Madrid is interested in Cristiano Ronaldo. This is no longer a rumor, but a confirmed fact. Ferguson hopes that his proud disciple can continue to play under his command, and Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed his desire to return to Ferguson's command more than once.

But Barcelona is now wanting to get the Portuguese without hesitation. The World Sports Daily even reported that Raporta has authorized Begiristan to go to Manchester United and submitted a letter of intent for a sky-high transfer of up to 9000 million euros, hoping to convince Manchester United to sell Cristiano Ronaldo to Barcelona.

But on the second day of Manchester United's statement to the outside world, Neuchâtel ushered in two important figures. One was the former Italian bald-headed whistler Corina who came here to explain the spirit of law enforcement in this competition for UEFA.

…………

…………

"Hello, Sandro!"

Cristiano Ronaldo, dressed in training clothes, appeared handsomely in the coffee shop of the hotel. Immediately, all the female waiters in the coffee shop were stunned by him, and they were almost stunned by this handsome Portuguese guy.

It has to be admitted that Cristiano Ronaldo, whose football career has become more and more brilliant in recent years, exudes a confident charm. He admits that this confidence comes from his former mentor Ferguson. He also said that without Ferguson, there would be no Cristiano Ronaldo today, so he has always been full of respect for Ferguson.

"Hello, Cristiano!" Roselle stood up with a smile. Although he was laughing, he couldn't help but think of the rustic country boy he met in Portugal back then.

Sometimes Russell himself has to admire Ferguson, because without Ferguson's training, it is hard to imagine that country boy back then would become the hottest top superstar in the world today.

"I was a little surprised when I received your call!" Cristiano Ronaldo smiled and sat down opposite Russell. He hadn't seen Russell for many years, and he saw it more on the news and on TV.

There is one thing that many people don’t know, that is, the first sponsorship contract signed by Cristiano Ronaldo was with Nike, and it was Sandro, who was the head of Nike Spain, Portugal and South America at the time, who fell in love with him and signed him into the Nike camp?Russell, but after signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Russell resigned from Nike and set up his own company.

When he appeared in front of Cristiano Ronaldo again, Russell was already the vice chairman of Barcelona. At that time, he went to Lisbon as Rabōerta's number one assistant, and made an appointment with Cristiano Ronaldo. He asked him to stay in Lisbon for another year, and then he would follow in Figo's footsteps and join Camp Nou.

It should be said that Cristiano Ronaldo and Mendes were very interested in the invitation from Russell, but at that time, many giant teams, including Manchester United and Arsenal, favored Cristiano Ronaldo.

But in the end, all this was broken after Ferguson came forward, and the Portuguese switched to Manchester United with little hesitation.

At that time, they were sitting face to face as they are now, and Roselle still avoided his agent, Mendes. It was just that in his 60 square meter apartment in Lisbon, his mother and sister were there, sitting around the dining table as if they were chatting about home, but now, they were in a top luxury hotel in Neuchâtel.

Today is different!

"I'm going straight to the point, Cristiano!" Roselle said with a smile. His words were skillful and comfortable to listen to. "You know the current situation. Labalta is also actively seeking to secure his position, but I can be sure that his current situation is precarious."

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded and did not express his opinion, but it is impossible for him not to know the news, and the newspapers are almost fried.

"I hope you can make up your mind and join me in Camp Nou. As long as you help me out, I can guarantee that Labalta will definitely lose!" Russell looked confident.

Labalta's situation in the past two years is really critical. If Russell really gets the support of Cristiano Ronaldo, he will undoubtedly gain momentum. He is the most popular top superstar in today's football.The level of luxury is unmatched even by Real Madrid!

"It's hard for me to have the final say on the transfer!" Cristiano Ronaldo smiled slightly. He had already expected Russell's intention, so it was not surprising that he would propose this invitation.

"I know, but Mendes is obviously not calm and rational right now. I'm different from Rabolta. I will honor all my promises, including your new contract with Nike!" Roselle threw out his most attractive chips

He has resources in many ways that La Bōrta does not have, such as the agreement between him and Nike.

For a long time, Nike has been very worried about the transfer of its superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, because the sponsor of Real Madrid is Adidas, including Ferguson, Kaka and many other superstars.

Russell reached a tacit agreement with Nike. If Russell succeeds in taking over Barcelona and introduces Cristiano Ronaldo, out of the need to consolidate its stars, Nike will re-sign a sponsorship contract with Cristiano Ronaldo with a higher value than the current one, and is willing to bear part of Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer fee.

This is a normal move. More than half of Kaka’s transfer fee is provided by sponsors, and Florentino is currently mobilizing resources from all parties to carry out the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo. Adidas has made it clear that it will fully support Real Madrid’s purchase of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Many people don’t know, and think that Real Madrid’s purchase of Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and other superstars are all paid by the club. In fact, it is not. Real Madrid’s expenditure on the transfer of these superstars is far less than the announced transfer fee.

The reason is that there are many sponsors involved in the operation!
For example, for Figo's transfer that year, Real Madrid only paid $2000 million, which was far from the $5610 million liquidated damages received by Barcelona.

The reason why Florentino had the courage to win Figo was that he had reached a tacit agreement with Telefónica in advance. The latter hoped to take advantage of the opportunity of the EU's opening up of the telecom market to break into the Portugal Telecom market. As Portugal's chief superstar at the time, Figo was undoubtedly the most suitable advertising star.

So the two sides hit it off almost immediately. After Florentino settled Figo and his portrait rights, he asked Telefónica to arrange a series of Figo's itineraries and conduct a series of hype and publicity in Portugal. Figo's first advertisement after joining Real Madrid was Telefónica.

In the end, a win-win situation was achieved. Real Madrid got the top star of their arch-enemy, Telefónica entered the Portuguese market, and Figo's influence and value soared.

If the first deal was just a test of the water, then the subsequent introduction of Zidane, Ferguson and other superstars made Florentino and his team familiar with this aspect, and they had all kinds of resources.

Therefore, it is not a secret that sponsors intervene in player transfers. The key problem is that the inside story is too complicated and cumbersome, and it is difficult for the outside world to know the whole process.

Using sponsors like Nike to participate in transfers like Russell is just a strategy that all clubs are using, and it is not worth making a fuss at all.

"You should think about it carefully. Nike will put you together with the most outstanding athletes in the world, and at the same time give you a contract with the highest price among football players. Joining Barcelona will definitely bring your career to a whole new level." Russell said with all his might.

This made Cristiano Ronaldo think of what Russell said when he encouraged him to stay in Sporting Lisbon for a year. At that time, Russell hoped that he would stay in Sporting Lisbon for a year, and then transfer to Barcelona for free after the contract expired, and he would also get a high salary contract and signing fee.

For so many years, people have changed, the environment has changed, but the tricks have never changed!

Cristiano Ronaldo secretly sighed in his heart, but he didn't show it. He just looked flat and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Sandro!"

After hearing this, Roselle frowned, "Is there any dissatisfaction?" His tone sounded like there was still room for negotiation.

Unexpectedly, Cristiano Ronaldo shook his head, "No, I am very satisfied with the terms you offered, but..."

After a pause, the Portuguese smiled slightly, "...I belonged to Real Madrid as early as a year ago!"

These words surprised Roselle, "What?"

"Yes, a year ago, Manchester United, Real Madrid and I made an agreement!" Cristiano Ronaldo curled his lips, spread his hands, and pretended to smile helplessly, "It's just that, you know, there are many things that the outside media don't know at all, but we do have an agreement!"

Roselle suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, and only then did he understand!
For Li Yuxin, this is the final direct contest with Cristiano Ronaldo, and we can only see you in the Champions League in the future!
