Chapter 377
In fact, Schuster's interest in Albiol was only general. Since Pepe will be suspended for seven league games at the beginning of next season, the team wants to introduce an excellent central defender to make up for the crisis of Pepe's absence.

But since Pepe was able to play after seven league rounds, Albiol's position at that time would definitely be embarrassing.After all, just bought an excellent substitute.And the team also has Metzelder as a backup central defender, and Heinze and Ramos are both all-round players.

If Schuster hadn't been worried about both Metzelder and Heinze, he really didn't plan to buy a central defender.But sometimes things don't go as you wish. Just when Schuster put all his attention on Valencia, a person who was originally expected to stay in the team left.

The captain of the Italian national team, Fabio Cannavaro rejected Real Madrid's request to renew his contract and decided to return to Juventus to spend the last of his career.

Cannavaro, who just won the double player of the year three years ago, followed Capello to Real Madrid when Juventus was relegated to Serie B because of "Telephone Gate". At that time, he signed a three-year contract with Real Madrid.Although Cannavaro's performance was a bit bad at the beginning because he was not suitable for the penalty scale of La Liga, but as time went on, the captain of the Italian national team became a well-deserved pillar of Real Madrid's defense.The central defender combination of him and Pepe is the basis for Schuster to win seven championships in two years.

Although Cannavaro is 35 years old this year, his dedicated attitude and super high professionalism make everyone in the industry think that he has no problem maintaining his state for another year.

So this time Real Madrid gave a very sincere 1+1 contract, hoping to renew the contract with Cannavaro.But the older you get, the more you miss your hometown. After Real Madrid won enough honors, Cannavaro couldn’t help persuading a group of teammates from the national team, hoping to return to Juventus to help the old woman through the most difficult period. moment.

Cannavaro "betrayed" Juventus back then, and now he wants to go back to "atone"!
Cannavaro's refusal to renew his contract exceeded Schuster's expectations. You must know that Pepe will be suspended for seven rounds next season, and the only central defender who can reassure him in the defense is him.But this time it was good, Cannavaro also left, and Real Madrid had nothing to do when he left.

The contract has expired, and he can leave if he wants, and you, Real Madrid, can only hold back and send him away.

When Gago, who was on vacation in Hawaii, learned that Cannavaro had returned to Juventus, he regretted calling him.Although they are teammates, the relationship between Gago and Cannavaro can only be said to be good, not really friends.

After the phone call, Gago logged into his "Twitter" account and sent a short greeting.

Three years ago, Gago spent US$100 million to finance Twitter, which was still in its infancy, and got 20.00% of the original shares.Today, three years later, "Twitter" has undergone four rounds of financing, and its current market price has reached one billion dollars.Of course, even if Jiago invests his own income in every financing, the shares in his hands will inevitably be diluted to 15.00% now!

But even so, Gago now has a nominal asset of 5000 million US dollars.

Last year, after Gago won the double Footballer of the Year, he announced the registration of a "Twitter" account, which made this already popular thing spread all over Europe immediately.

Now basically every star will open his own "Twitter" account. This simple thing of getting in touch with idols makes the number of "Twitter" registrations increase every minute.

Of course, in order to keep a low profile, Gago did not announce that he is one of the shareholders of "Twitter".

After Gago's speech "Thanks to Cannavaro for his three years in Real Madrid, and by the way wish him a better life in Juventus!", Raul, Ramos, Pepe, Heinze, Ma Real Madrid stars such as Selo have published similar words.

Although some Juventus fans still hate Cannavaro's "betrayal" back then, Buffon, Nedved, Chiellini and other players have expressed their welcome to Cannavaro through different occasions .After all, giving up Real Madrid, which can win more honors, and coming to Juventus, which is still in the throes, itself shows Cannavaro's love for the old woman.

Due to Cannavaro's departure, Schuster had to find a central defender who could succeed the Italian captain and become the new pillar of Real Madrid's defense.

Originally, Schuster was interested in the Brazilian Thiago Silva, who transferred to AC Milan this year and performed well, but now AC Milan is not the future Mi Diao, so he rejected Real Madrid's offer.

Silva can't be bought, and Schuster's second candidate is Chelsea's Carvalho, but Abramovich is not short of money at all, and Real Madrid has no place to attract Carvalho.After all, Real Madrid's head coach is now a German, not a Portuguese.

After Gago knew that Cannavaro was gone, he called Schuster and said that Manchester City's Kompany was very good.It is not uncommon for players to introduce players to the club. Maicon and Cesar were recommended to Moratti by Adriano, and finally came to Inter Milan to become world superstars.

But the problem is that it is too late to dig Kompany now. Last year, Silva was still in Brazil, and Kompany was still in the Bundesliga.But at that time, Real Madrid had no shortage of central defenders, so they had no intention of buying them.

And this season, after the team had a personnel crisis at the central defender position, Gago thought of these two famous defenders in later generations and wanted to recommend them to Schuster.

But one Milan is not for sale, and the other owner, Manchester City, can be said to be the richest owner in football. Last year, they bought Robinho from Real Madrid for 4000 to 1 million euros and made them famous. Just over halfway, they have successively won Barry, Tevez, Yaya Toure, Adebayor and other giants.The money spent in the transfer market is more than [-] million euros, and there are many stars involved with them. Now it is not Chelsea that can burn the most money in football, but Manchester City.

If you want to buy Kompany from them, you might as well go to Chelsea to dig Carvalho.At least Carvalho is old and his position in the team is not as stable as Kompany.

So, turning around, Schuster finally found that the best player Real Madrid could buy was Valencia's Albiol.

In fact, there is still a popular central defender in football now, and that is the Ukrainian Ziglinski.Since Pepe Genesis joined Real Madrid last year with a worth of 3000 million euros and became the top central defender in today's football after one season, the major giants have also begun to pay attention to the demons of central defenders outside the five major leagues.

The miners made it all the way to the final of the UEFA Cup last year under unfavorable circumstances, and finally won the cup, which made Ziglinski, the core of the defense, famous.

The name of "Eastern European Caesar" has already made the big giants start to move around, especially Real Madrid's deadly rival Barcelona.For Real Madrid's 3000 million euros to pick up Pepe, the top central defender, Barcelona is very envious. Barcelona has not invested much in the transfer market this year.Since there is no record-breaking introduction of Kaka and Ronaldo from Real Madrid, Laporta will naturally not buy Ibrahimovic in a daze.

But Guardiola hopes to get an excellent central defender, and what he values ​​is Ziglinski.At present, there are only Puyol and Pique in the position of Barcelona's central defender, and Puyol is 31 years old, so he should be considered as a successor.

It's just that the miners insisted on 3000 million euros, which made Laporta a little distressed. Nima really thought that your Ziglinski was Pepe. Not everyone is as easy to be slaughtered as Calderon.

Originally, Schuster planned to join the ranks of competing for Ziglinski, even if he couldn't buy it to add some congestion to Barcelona.But Gago called Schuster after hearing the rumors, telling him not to buy Ziglinski.

In this way, Schuster can only choose Valencia's defensive core.As a Spanish international, Albiol played as a midfielder when he debuted. Later, because there were too many strong players in Valencia's midfielder, he could only retreat to the position of central defender. He studied next to Ayala for several years. After that, he is already a well-known defensive champion in La Liga.

And he is an old player in La Liga, and he doesn't need to take a long time to adapt to Real Madrid like Cannavaro.And the ability to play as a midfielder makes Schuster appreciate it very much.

As a result, Real Madrid added another Albiol to the players they wanted from Valencia.

Schuster has fully authorized Hilal, 6000 million euros and Palei, Torres, and he can still make the decision on this point.Although he likes Paleigh very much, it is impossible for this kid to get enough playing time in Real Madrid, and letting him go to Valencia is the best choice.

"600 million euros + Paleigh + Torres, for Silva, Mata and Albiol, this is the final offer, if you don't agree, don't even think about getting a point!"

Feeling that the fire was almost ready, Hilal sent another offer to Valencia two days later, and this offer also hit the bottom line of the Bat Corps.

Two hours later, Soriano called Hilal again, basically agreeing to the transfer, but still need to fight for a small price.

For Valencia now, even 50 is very important.

However, these are all handed over to professional negotiators. After Hilal controlled the overall situation, he never intervened again. Real Madrid’s goals this year are not only Valencia!
And Schuster also got a response from Valencia allowing him to contact players. Basically, it can be said that these three players are already Real Madrid people.
