Red Rebels

618 Crazy Insider

Maria Casanova lazily walked into her office and lay down comfortably on the very soft office chair, almost screaming from the comfort.

If he had this power, he would be willing to arrange the editorial office of [Daily Sports] on the first floor, yes, the floor facing the street now, so that he would not have to work so hard every day.

The third floor is a very awkward floor. Wait for the elevator. It’s too crowded. There are so many employees in the entire [Daily Sports News], and they have to squeeze in those two elevators to commute. God knows if someone farts in the elevator, what will happen? How many people were poisoned to death?

And they all said that a 60-year-old person should start to pay attention to exercise, so he insisted on climbing the stairs to work every day, but the result was obvious, he was exhausted.

He is really old and useless!

Just when Casanova was feeling sorry for himself, there was a knock on the office door.

A shrewd and capable young reporter came in. He closed the door of the office mysteriously, and then ran up to Casanova. At this time, Casanova closed his eyes tiredly after seeing who the person was. Eyes resting.

"Chief Editor, I just received a piece of news from Italy." The young man said excitedly.

Casanova still didn't open his eyes and replied feebly: "You receive a lot of news every day, Andres. Although the news is accurate, it is all useless gossip."

"No, no, no, editor-in-chief, the news this time is absolutely explosive, it's huge news!" Andres looked excited.

"Big news?" Casanova is not that easy to fool. He is already 60 years old. After working in the news industry for so many years, he has developed the ability to control his emotions without being impatient. "Is it Leo Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo who decided to move to Barcelona?"

Casanova sneered a little. Messi is the most promising super genius in today's football, and Ronaldinho is the most popular star in football today. But unfortunately, they do not belong to Barcelona.

Daily Sports is the mouthpiece of Barcelona, ​​and Maria Casanova is a fan of Barcelona. In his opinion, only the signing of these two world-class stars by Barcelona can be called big news. .

"You know, that's impossible, editor-in-chief!" Andres smiled bitterly.

All teams in the world hope to sign Kaka, Messi and Ronaldinho, but no team can do so. The reason is simple. They all signed a long-term contract with the Red Rebels, and they They are all representative stars of the Red Rebels and are loyal to the Red Rebels. Kaka even swore that he would rather retire than leave the Red Rebels.

Sometimes, this loyalty is very touching, especially for Red Rebels fans, but for those fans who are eager to get these three stars to join the team they love, This loyalty is annoying.

"Just know it's impossible, Andres. How can there be so much big news in this world?" Casanova lectured.

"But editor-in-chief, this is really big news!" Andres insisted.

Casanova sneered, "Okay, tell me!" But he still didn't open his eyes.

"A reporter from [Gazzetta dello Sport] told me privately that Inter Milan's forward signings have been finalized, and they hope to get Eto'o for about 40 million pounds." Andres approached Some desks,

It was as if he was telling a secret that only he knew in the world.

Casanova's heart skipped a beat, but he still didn't open his eyes. He sighed, but kept nodding, "Eto'o was once an emperor and a courtier. Eto'o was Rijkaard's right-hand man. He was very important to Guardiola." It’s no secret that he’s dissatisfied with his tactical arrangements and wants to leave Barcelona, ​​and it’s even more common knowledge that Guardiola wants to sell Eto’o.”

At this point, Casanova sneered and shook his head and asked, "What kind of big news is this?"

Unexpectedly, Andres suddenly laughed again and said: "But I received a tip from a reporter from England's [Daily Mail] that Barcelona has made a full offer for Villa, and it is said that the Spanish striker has made an offer to Reds." Jun submitted a written transfer application, and he is currently being chased by Barcelona and Real Madrid..."

"I know this too, but the Red Rebels have made it clear that Villa is not for sale and no one can take him away from Newton Heath, but neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid give up!" interrupted Casanova. After hearing Andres' words, he was a little impatient.

"Andres, why are the so-called big news that I received last night?"

As the editor-in-chief of [Daily Sports News], Casanova naturally has his own news channels, which allowed him to get the latest news in the transfer market last night. Not only that, he also knew that Real Madrid was even interested in Offered to get Villa for 40 million pounds, but the Red Rebels still refused.

Villa is indeed outstanding. In the past few seasons, he has not been the absolute main force in the Red Rebels, but his number of goals has remained around 20 almost every season. He is a player with a very high scoring efficiency. , and he is also the main forward of the Spanish national team. Judging from Casanova's years of watching football, winning Villa for 40 million pounds is worth it!

But as a forward who plays a high role in changing formations under Mourinho and is also a strong score guarantee on the front line, it is understandable that the Red Rebels are unwilling to let Villa go, so those Those who want to buy Villa have only one way, and it is also the simplest way, to spend money!

The transfer market bubble has formed, and now the transfer prices for stars are getting higher and higher. Even a center back like Pepe who has not proven himself in the five major European leagues is worth 30 million euros. Villa belongs to the Red Rebels The price of a star who rotates forwards and scores 20+ goals in important competitions such as the Premier League and Champions League for many consecutive seasons should be higher.

Especially after Manchester City signed Tevez for an unprecedented 46 million pounds, Villa, who performed better than Tevez, became even more popular.

"Now, I am afraid that only member-based teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid in the world can get Villa!" Casanova smiled bitterly in his heart, but soon, Andres' words made him He opened his eyes suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his face, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world.

"I heard that Barcelona's latest offer is 35 million pounds, plus Eto'o. Laporta has decided to win Villa before everyone else!"

"What?" Casalano even stood up from his seat, and the office chair behind him slid out and hit the bookshelf behind him, making a muffled sound, "35 million pounds, plus Ettore Oh? Are you sure?"

"Confirm, Editor-in-Chief, this is the information [Daily Mail] got from reliable sources. They are very sure, and they also confirmed it with Villa's agent. The other party did not deny it, but it did not admit it either. It just said that it was better than Villa's." Leah is determined to return to Spain."

Casanova felt that this incident was so unimaginable that it could even be described as absurd.

Eto'o has been Barcelona's leading striker for the past few seasons, and Villa is the striker that the Red Rebels compete with Drogba. It is undeniable that both forwards are world-class shooters, but no matter how different they are in value, Isn’t that a shortfall of 35 million pounds?

"That's 50 million euros!" Casanova felt that if this transfer was confirmed, wouldn't it be too wasteful?

But soon, Casanova noticed something strange again, "Wait a minute, you just said that Inter Milan is actively recruiting Eto'o?"

"It should be said that it is basically finalized. [Gazzetta dello Sport] said that Moratti personally admitted that Inter Milan is infinitely close to Eto'o, and his worth is around 35 million pounds to 40 million pounds." Andres looked proud. , look, you are finally shocked.

This is truly huge news!

Casanova was really shocked. Here, Barcelona used Eto'o plus cash in exchange for Villa, and over there, Moratti used cash to buy Eto'o. This may seem bizarre, but if After careful analysis, it is not difficult to see a clue.

The Red Rebels became the middleman, trading Villa for 35 million pounds plus Eto'o. On the other hand, because Eto'o did not fit the Red Rebels' tactical system, they bought Eto'o for about 35 million pounds. Sold to Inter Milan.

As a result, the revenue of the Red Rebels from Villa alone has reached 70 million pounds, which is a full 105 million euros. This is simply an earth-shattering deal!

Thinking of this, Casanova broke into a cold sweat. He wanted to understand why Barcelona was willing to be slaughtered?

The reason is very simple. Several other teams such as Real Madrid, AC Milan and Inter Milan are chasing Villa. They are eager to get Villa, and Eto'o refuses to renew his contract, leaving only one year left. Time, if we don’t take action now, Barcelona may not keep any money.

"Wait a minute, if what you said is true, then why can't Barcelona just sell Eto'o to Inter Milan and then buy Villa with cash? They are not fools!" Casanova felt like this The triangular deal is so bizarre.

Andres shook his head with a wry smile, "I was also confused, but later I confirmed it. I heard that the Red Rebels signed an agreement with Barcelona first, and then contacted Inter Milan later, and Inter Milan gave Eto The Cheetahs are also very satisfied with the contract offered by Austria, so neither the three parties nor the players have any objections."

"This transfer has not been disclosed to the outside world for certain reasons, but basically the only difference is the price of the transfer. However, it is obvious that the three aspects have done a good job in keeping confidentiality, so the outside world has not gained anything. Wind!"

Casanova smiled bitterly and shook his head frequently. If things are really as Andres said, then who can say who is wrong?

I'm afraid the whole world will praise the Red Rebels for making another good deal.

Of course, the Red Rebels cannot be blamed for being profit-seeking. Since Villa has made up his mind to leave and even submitted a written transfer application, the Red Rebels have no need to force him to stay. Instead of doing this, it is better to sell for a good price. It is appropriate to retain the buyer, so no matter how they operate, they should not be criticized.

The key is that Barcelona did lose money by exchanging Ettouga's cash for Villa, especially the 35 million pounds. If there was no bubble, this price would definitely be able to win Villa, but Manchester City has to break the sky-high price. The acquisition of Carlos Tevez for a record value caused the transfer market bubble to spread and the player's value to be inflated. In comparison, Barcelona suffered a loss.

Inter Milan is not at a loss, after all, they got Eto'o, but the transfer price is slightly higher, but there is no problem with Eto'o's strength.

"Chief Editor, do you want this news to be published?" Andres looked at Casanova expectantly. He had already been waiting for the opportunity to make a beautiful first-hand news break.

Unexpectedly, Casanova suddenly shook his head, "No, hold on for now, check more, look for more inside information and clues, and I will let you know when the time is right!" After saying that, Casanova let his hope go away. Andres went out first.

Suddenly falling down on the office chair, Casanova felt a surge of anger in his heart. The bastards on the board of directors were too wasteful to defend the title. Do they really think that it doesn't matter how the fans' money is spent? ?

Not only Barcelona, ​​but also Real Madrid spend a lot of money and waste without restraint. If this was a company, they would be committing a crime, but they are engaged in the football industry!

As the mouthpiece of Barcelona, ​​[Daily Sports News] must consider the impact of this news after it is published in the newspaper, especially considering the current situation of Barcelona. After all, they were eliminated from the Champions League and the league was reversed by Real Madrid. After one season, they are empty-handed. Everyone is anxious and wants to reverse the current situation as soon as possible.

In addition, like Guardiola, when he took over Rijkaard midway, Barcelona fans praised him in every possible way. After all, he trained many young players for Barcelona, ​​and all Barcelona fans expected him to be like Real Madrid. The fire-fighting coach, like the miracle Del Bosque did that year, led Barcelona to at least win the league championship.

But who would have thought that although Guardiola performed well, the championship trophy that Barcelona originally thought he would get ended up in the hands of Real Madrid. Even Guardiola almost dismissed the get out of class. In the end, although he kept it, he still suffered. Huge pressure, anxious to prove myself.

It’s understandable that the club’s top management and head coach are anxious. Even if they are anxious, they can’t do it like this, right?

"The Red Rebels, it seems that this is a team that is destined to have trouble with Barcelona!" Casanova said with a wry smile.

This team has indeed been too tyrannical in recent years, even a little unreasonable, and they also have a deep relationship with Barcelona, ​​especially the fight in the tunnel of the Camp Nou stadium. Fans from both sides hate each other. Even now, Barcelona fans all over the world are looking at each other angrily with Red Rebel fans.

If the fans knew that Barcelona had introduced Villa from the Red Rebels at such an outrageous price, I wonder what they would think? If they were told that the Red Rebels used Barcelona for some hype and easily sold Villa for a super-high price of 105 million euros, wouldn't they not be angry with the club?

"This is really a fucking crazy world!" Casanova was filled with helplessness.
