Chapter 80: 80 Weakened Ronaldinho
80 Weakened Ronaldinho
The Gremio Club is located in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil—this place name makes Jose a little uncomfortable, mainly because the place name reminds him of the Grande that he finds extremely annoying...
It seems that this guy doesn't intend to let go of the club's equity easily, and he doesn't know how he persuaded Pep. The two spent a total of 5.25 million US dollars in cash into the club's account. With the 9.75 million US dollars injected by Jose, Mallorca's account now has more than 18 million cash in cash. Apart from keeping a part for the club's daily expenses, Jose is going to use all of this money.
"Maybe these two guys think that they can still get a lot of bonuses in the future...it's not such a good thing." Jose thought proudly, and when he thought of this, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared.
This time when he went abroad, Jose talked with people as the technical director of Mallorca Football Club. Can scare some people off...
For South American clubs, they are still in the position of selling young and outstanding players to the European continent. Unlike in the future, whether it is Neymar or Lucas Jr., they will be pinched like treasures by Brazilian clubs. Don't open your mouth to buy people-in this era, the transfer value of talented young players from Brazil and Argentina is often not high, and the first stop is often to mid-range teams or places outside the four major leagues. For example, Ronaldo went to Eindhoven first, and then went to giants like Barcelona and Inter Milan.
Rivaldo landed in Brazil from Deportivo, which was not considered a top team at the time, so did Bebeto, Romario first went to the Netherlands, Argentina's Lopez Crespo Battistutabe Long and others are not directly playing for the giants, perhaps because Maradona joined the giants Barcelona for the first time in Europe, but the final result was not so good, which also affected the attitude of the next batch of South American players towards landing in Europe , that is to go to a mid-range team or a team outside the four major leagues to adapt for a period of time, and then go to the giants-this approach is actually very wise, and players who do this first will rarely fail of.
This situation has also affected Ronaldinho. Under the suggestion of his brother and agent, he also felt that he should first choose a mid-range team from the four major leagues or a strong team from other leagues to adapt for one or two years. This season was relatively good, and he yearns for Spain and France more, because the Spanish league advocates offense, while France is a traditional European Latin school, and it is easier for him to adapt to these two environments.
Of course, the Netherlands and Portugal are also two good destinations, but they are obviously not as attractive as Spain and France.
What makes Ronaldinho a little strange is that his performance in the past two years has been outstanding. He won the World Youth Championship under the age of 17, won the America's Cup in 1999, was the top scorer in the Confederations Cup, and won the South American Olympic Games. The top scorer in the qualifiers, and he also performed well in the Olympics, but no one seems to want to introduce him-the European continent is spending money like a raging fire, but basically they are throwing at those superstars who have already made a name for themselves in Europe , On the contrary, he seems to have ignored a lot of new stars emerging in South America...
But this is also reasonable. Now that European clubs are throwing money, of course, they want to spend money on those who can fight. Facing the huge profit of the Champions League, how many giants are willing to invest in the star of hope? This is not the past era...
Mid-range teams are powerless to spend a lot of money, but their first goal is also to adapt to the strength of the domestic league. The attention to South America is naturally reduced, which directly leads to Ronaldo, who is considered to be Ronaldo's successor in Brazil. Nobody cares about Aldinho...
This is of course a good sign for Jose.
The Gremio club is also a little worried. The current economic situation of the Brazilian club is not as good as in the future. The salary of Neymar and others in Brazil will not be less than that of Europe. At this time, the salary expenditure of the Brazilian club is basically not comparable to that of Europe. Yes, there are basically no superstars in their prime in Brazil and Argentina. Basically, they are rookies and veterans returning from Europe. The best superstars are all in Europe.
Ronaldinho signed a contract with Gremio Club in the summer of 1998 for a period of four years. It has been more than two years now, and Ronaldinho has no intention of renewing his contract. If he does not sell it now , Maybe after more than a year, I will watch Ronaldinho leave freely. How did Ajax change from tall, handsome and rich to a loser overnight? Isn't it because a group of famous generals left collectively after their contracts expired? It directly led to a Champions League champion team being reduced to a long-term UEFA Cup team...
Gremio doesn't want the players they have worked so hard to say goodbye to after the contract expires and leave in style, although they didn't spend much on Ronaldinho's training fees-you know that South American clubs basically The general approach is to adopt the method of stocking. Anyway, this place lacks everything, except for talented youngsters with outstanding potential. Whoever can stand out can become a star.
This is also the reason why Brazilian clubs often sell their players to Europe at the price of cabbage. There are too many young talents there, and they are coming out one after another. If it is not cheaper, no one will want it-now The structure of world football is still dominated by European clubs as a buyer's market.
The buyer's market is dominant, and the seller's market will naturally suffer some losses, but the South American clubs don't care, anyway, they basically don't have any investment in cultivating these young players, just like occupying a natural breeding field, don't sow seeds, Don't fertilize, just harvest it in autumn and sell it to European clubs-it's not much different from buying and selling without money.
Negotiating with Gremio, Jose handed it over to Tony Silva who accompanied him. His request was to try to keep the price below 8 million, pay it off in one lump sum, and leave no later accounts. What is the specific situation? Se knew that he was not as good as Silva, a good negotiator, so he properly delegated power, and Jose knew this very well.
So in the next few days, Silva and Gremio were arguing, and Jose was leisurely wandering around the Gremio club. Although the training facilities and environment of the Brazilian club could not be compared with European clubs, they still There are many places to learn from.
In addition to wandering around, Jose watched Gremio's training from the sidelines of the training ground. Of course, he was more concerned with observing Ronaldinho's performance, but what surprised him was that the later generation with the magic elf Ronaldinho, who has average footwork, did not appear to be particularly outstanding in Gremio's training, although his calmness left a deep impression on Jose. Just by looking at this, you can know that this young man with buck teeth and flat head He won't be an ordinary person, but there is still a big gap compared with Ronaldinho, who swept Europe in a few years and almost became a generation of football champions in later generations.
"After all, he is a young version of Ronaldinho." Jose can only think so. What he doesn't know is that although Ronaldinho's level is indeed very good now, he has not reached the level of ability that seamlessly combines gorgeousness and practicality. , before going to Barcelona, he spent two years at Paris Saint-Germain and he grew up very fast - even though he only played in Ligue 1 and didn't play much in European games, but he had a good teacher around him - that was to create African player transfer worth record of the Nigerian Jiejie? Okocha.
Later generations of European clubs are quite concerned about training black players, but they seem to have gone astray—all black players basically follow the black and hard midfielder template of Makelele and Essien In cooperation, even a top striker like Drogba is more of a type that relies on his body for food, because black players have excellent physical fitness, and training from this aspect can often produce results quickly, and after 2004 At that time, the scarcity of good midfielders in the European continent also made the club pursue, so the black players trained were taller, stronger, and able to run. All of them were black and hard. The midfield stirrer...
However, you must know that before this, the superstars that emerged in Africa were basically players who relied on speed and technology to win, such as Weah and Eto'o, and even earlier Abedi Pele.
And the Nigerian team, known as the African Eagle, is full of technical experts. Kanu is an example. He has a proud height but has outstanding skills at his feet. If he does not have a big heart, his achievements may not be in the future. Under Ibrahimovic, as for Okocha, he is the best of the best!
This is a classic scene of a dancer on the football field, dribbling the ball across Karlsruhe's defense, and then hitting the goal several times in a row to play the lion king Kahn and then break the goal. Older fans don't He will forget, and his technical collection makes even street football players feel inferior.
It is precisely because of this master who is so exquisite and gorgeous that he is almost abnormal that Ronaldinho has established his status as a future art master and court dancer!
In other words, the current Ronaldinho is just a weakened version of Ronaldinho, a Ronaldinho who has not been influenced by the European competition, and who has not yet possessed the magical footwork of the future.
But looking at this weakened version of Ronaldinho, Jose is full of confidence.
Although he was a little puzzled as to why Ronaldinho was far behind the Ronaldinho in history, but after thinking carefully about Ronaldinho's development in history, he almost guessed the reason.
"I don't believe that the training environment in La Liga is not as good as Ligue 1. What's more, this is also an opportunity to test my top players. If players like Ronaldinho are not good enough, I'd better not delay the future of those future superstars." , or obediently picking up junk to build a team." Jose thought in his heart.
