Public Enemy [Soccer]

Chapter 17 The Welcome Ceremony

Coming back wearing the No. [-] jersey was absolutely unexpected for Ivan.

He was a defender when he left, and he became a core midfielder when he came back five years later. Anyone would feel that the world is changing too fast. After he changed his jersey and tied his shoelaces, he saw the cabinet beside him out of the corner of his eye.

number seven.

Cristiano's cabinet.

Ivan couldn't help but squinted his eyes with a smile. When the Portuguese was at Manchester United, the cabinet was far away from him, but now it is finally not far away, and there is no need to go so far for chatting on weekdays.

This is definitely good news for him.

"Ivan, are you ready?" Mendez's voice came from outside, "They are going to start filming?"

Ivan suppressed the smile on his face, and turned to look at the door. The short cannons were already waiting, and Mendes blocked them from the outside. He turned to look at him and raised his eyebrows to ask for his wishes.

The newly-released Real Madrid No. [-] suddenly wanted to play a prank and say that there will be no filming at the moment. Mendes must have an interesting expression... However, he also knew that this is not the time for joking, so he finally stood up and nodded.

"Ready."

This place is not completely unfamiliar, he has been here many times.

His adoptive father is the administrator of this stadium, and he often took him here when he was young, and was even regarded as the mascot of Real Madrid for a while, but it was gradually abandoned after some people objected.

Now, he, the "Real Madrid mascot", has returned to Real Madrid as an official player. The player channel, which was very high for him in the past, is also a little short at this time, and Ivan can only pass through with his head bowed slightly.

There was a lot of people outside, and all the lights in the stadium had been turned on, maybe there were other lights on the stage. When he stepped out of the player tunnel, even Ivan squinted his eyes subconsciously.

After the glare, there is surprise.

More people came than expected.

Even though the cheers of thousands of people just got off the plane made him a little prepared, but he was still a little surprised when he came out and saw the crowd.

A piece of black.

Everywhere he looked was full of people, and the stadium welcomed him with an attendance rate no less than that of the game, but he didn't have time to take a closer look.

Someone is waiting for him.

After greeting the fans all around, Ivan looked up to the stage, where Florentino and others were already waiting for him. When shaking hands, the chairman known as Lafayette smiled very amiably.

"Ivan, my child, welcome home."

Ivan hugged him: "Long time no see, Chairman."

The two passed by, and Ivan stood behind and lowered his hands quietly, waiting for the chairman to speak.

No matter what others think of the father of the galaxy battleship, Ivan is still very kind to him.

Ivan was only nine years old when Florentino was elected president of Real Madrid for the first time. It stands to reason that players of this age cannot enter or leave the training place of the adult team.

But at that time, in order to develop Real Madrid's commercial value and its own global influence, Florentino started the superstar policy and a series of other measures when he took office, including of course Ivan, a very topical little boy. The teenager, "the kid who survived" thrived in Real Madrid, played for Real Madrid if he had football talent, and did other things for Real Madrid if he didn't have football talent...

Isn't that good publicity?

Leaving aside the adult team, at least it can have a very positive impact on Real Madrid's youth training.

It can be said that Florentino is definitely one of the behind-the-scenes driving forces behind the birth of the title of "Madrid National Brother", and may even be the most important one.

Ivan is very grateful to him. At least under this policy, he also took over the children's endorsement at a young age, which relieved a lot of financial pressure for the adoptive parents' family.

Of course, even without the previous ones, just the fact that Florentino was willing to pay a sky-high transfer fee for him this winter moved him very much.

——even if this is a win-win choice.

The current Manchester United is a big cage for Ivan. Playing without a ball is almost the same as torture for him. It is naturally good to be able to leave.

For Real Madrid, the main midfielder was injured so badly in the first half of the season that he almost became a glass man, which is of course very influential in terms of record.

Mourinho's morale, Real Madrid's performance is not very good. In contrast, Barcelona next door is almost invincible every year. The league is almost in a state of crushing.

This is not a good sign.

Therefore, Ivan, the core of Manchester United who can make Barcelona suffer at this time, is naturally their first choice.

——Produced by his own youth training, received the favor of the chairman, played very well, and most importantly, can restrain Barcelona.

If you don't buy him, who will you buy?

What's more... At this point, I have to thank Moyes again. This season, he has not included Ivan in Manchester United's European competition squad.

According to FIFA regulations, if you played the Champions League for another team in the first half of the season, you cannot play for that team if you transfer to another team in the second half of the season.

Ivan can.

Thanks Moyes.

This alone is enough to make Real Madrid willing to bid for Ivan.

The transfer fee is related to the player's level of competition, age and the remaining contract years, the last point is obviously the least important point.

At least for a young and good player like Ivan.

Real Madrid took away their soul No. [-], their core, from Manchester United time and time again. Although the price was higher each time, it turned out that each time it was worth the money.

I believe it will be the same this time.

Lafayette’s speech came right to this point: “… as we all know, Ivan is a player from Castilla. I think some people have been questioning why we don’t activate the clause to let him come back to play for Real Madrid, but now? "

"Actually, Real Madrid has always had very good players playing for this stadium, including Real Madrid at the time. I don't mean to start a war by saying this, nor do I look down on Ivan, he has always been my favorite child. , and Real Madrid's favorite child."

When he said this, Florentino looked back at Ivan, and smiled at the young man.

"He has become better and more suitable for the current Real Madrid. Many people are telling me that my 100 million was really wronged, but I don't think so. Look at him, isn't he worth it? ?”

"A top midfielder, a decent player, a kid from Real Madrid, isn't Real Madrid worth paying for him?"

Ivan smiled from behind.

Jorge also laughed, and he even covered his mouth and whispered to Ivan: "It seems that Real Madrid's role this time is 'the savior who reaches out to their young people in the mud'. Do you like it?"

"I like it very much." Ivan said honestly.

He and Real Madrid have affection and love for each other, how wonderful!Although Real Madrid has always been ruthless, wouldn't it be the happiest thing if this stadium can be favored?

Lafayette is impassioned. The cleaning of old players over the years has made some nostalgic old fans of Real Madrid feel dissatisfied, but most of the dissatisfaction can be cleaned up with the arrival of better players. Ivan, the "brother of Madrid" He is simply the perfect candidate, so why isn't he very satisfied with Ivan?

This speech can be said to have brought true feelings among the officials—at least it seemed so. Everyone was very moved by Lafayette’s rare moment of warmth, so the response after his speech was very enthusiastic.

"Next, let's welcome our new players..."

Florentino and Ivan looked at the host staff at the same time, and Lafayette even frowned slightly.

The staff is very helpful: "...Ivan Fernandez is also a child of Real Madrid!"

Ivan came to the stage with a smile.

The young man was originally handsome, and he smiled brightly. There was pure joy in those golden eyes. Ivan stood in front of the stage with a smile.

"Hi everyone, I'm Ivan Fernandez."

He is not as sensational as Florentino, and his chairman has already said what he should say...

"Every moment I came back I was pleasantly surprised, even marveled, Madrid is still as warm as before I left."

"I love it here, it's like my nest. The chicks learned to fly here and it's great to be back here now."
