Chapter 5 The 'Going Home' Project

Barcelona's internal meeting, Barcelona's six presidium members, sports director Robert Fernandez, head coach Luis Enrique and youth training director Miranda impressively.

This time it was an internal meeting, held by Barcelona President Bartomeu.

In the meeting room, everything was quiet.

Everyone is waiting for Chairman Bartomeu to speak.

The sports director, Robert, lowered his head and picked his nails. The head coach, Enrique, was watching a play with his arms folded. As for the youth training director, Miranda, he was resting with his eyes closed.

In fact, the director of youth training is not qualified to participate in such meetings, but Miranda is not an ordinary director of youth training. As an old Barcelona man who has been in charge of La Masia for many years, he has made outstanding contributions and has an irreplaceable role in the hearts of the club and fans. Status, Messi, Harvey, Iniesta and other stars can be said to be his disciples.

Therefore, Miranda is quite respected in Barcelona, ​​and even Chairman Bartomeu needs to be a little bit afraid of facing the old Barcelona man.

After a long silence, Chairman Bartomeu said quietly: "Gentlemen, Neymar is gone."

Hearing this, the first vice-chairman Mestre sneered, "Brazilians are open to money, and they don't have the concept of loyalty in their minds!"

"He is a traitor!"

"Damn Brazilians!"

The members of the presidium condemned indignantly. Neymar's transfer was indeed unethical and double-faced.

On the one hand, he promised Barcelona that he would not transfer, and on the other hand, he tried his best to negotiate with Paris in order to obtain more generous treatment.

Neymar's transfer made the Barcelona presidency a laughing stock. They only learned about Neymar's transfer from the media, which made the Barcelona people angry.

But the matter has come to this point, and they have no way to make up for it, they can only stop the loss as much as possible.

In this summer transfer window, they have to make a certain amount of signings to ensure Barcelona's competitiveness.

"We need to introduce some midfielders in this summer transfer window. As you know, Barcelona urgently needs a strong midfielder." Chairman Bartomeu knocked on the table and said.

Presidium member Cardoneva suggested: "I recommend Gomez, he performed very well at Everton."

At this time, a faint mocking sound came from the side.

"A team that was kicked 5-0 by Tottenham..."

Cardoneva's cheeks twitched. He took a hard look at the old guy who was pretending to be calm, and chose to ignore it.

Another member of the bureau, Billarubi, suggested: "The Hornet's Parker is also very good, he can make up for our pass control mechanism."

That taunting voice reappeared...

"Is the pass control in Germany the same as the pass control in Spain? I can assure you that Parker will definitely lose himself when he comes to Barcelona." After a pause, the man continued: "There is also Dortmund in the Europa League. , their loss was due to the gap in the midfield!"

Billarubi turned his head away, he didn't want to talk to the old guy anymore.

Another member of the presidium said: "Umtiti? He also performed very well last season, and the transfer fee has also risen to 25 million euros. He is a good choice."

After speaking, the member of the presidium subconsciously looked at Miranda, who sneered and said, "The difference between 25 million and 100 million is not only about strength, but also about strength.

There are also potential, influence and various factors! "

The first vice-chairman Mestre said: "Where is Dennis? He is known as Iniesta, and Huang Qian's midfielder is very good."

"He was blown away by the Tottenham midfielder in the Europa League!"

Mestre: "..."

The faces of all the members of the presidium were turned black. They looked at the old man with a mocking face and felt a little depressed. If you hadn't had unshakable influence among the players of the Barcelona home team and controlled the youth training, I would have sprayed you up.

Head coach Luis Enrique watched the drama with an amused face.

The six presidium members were annoyed by the director of youth training.

As for sports director Fernandez, he pretended not to see it and stayed out of it.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts where their contradictions were.

That Chinese!

Going out of La Masia, a super midfielder active in the Premier League!

Chairman Bartomeu smiled wryly to himself, and said helplessly, "Miranda, what's your opinion?"

snort!

Miranda sneered and said, "My opinion? Is it important? Have you listened to my opinion?"

Chairman Bartomeu shook his head and said: "Man, we are colleagues, don't make the atmosphere so bad, we are still very democratic."

"Democracy... This is the funniest joke I've ever heard." Miranda stood up slowly, and said coldly, "My opinion? Okay! I'll just say my opinion!"

"Is it difficult to admit mistakes? Is it difficult to admit that you have been wrong?...Because of your mistakes, Barcelona's midfield has been silent for two years. We obviously have the best successor! That is obviously our last Good choice! We can even continue the glory of the Cosmos team! But you killed it all with your own hands!"

Miranda roared like a wild lion:

"A misdiagnosis caused us to lose a talented midfielder and become a laughing stock! A transfer caused an irreparable gap between Cesc Fabregas and Barcelona! Over the years, Barcelona has spent nearly 120 million euros to make up for the black hole in the middle. costs, but there is no improvement at all, and this is the report card you handed over!"

"What is the outside world saying about us? Shit transfer strategy! Just because you dare not admit your mistakes, admit that you are an excellent player, and that is the perfect successor for Harvey!"

Chairman Bartomeu said displeased: "Miranda, pay attention to your wording, you know, Yi is too expensive!"

"Expensive?!" Miranda sneered and said, "We sold Neymar for 200 million yuan. If the transfer funds of these years are invested, we can win Yi."

Mestre frowned and said: "But he has no experience in major competitions, and he has not participated in the Champions League. We cannot guarantee that he can still guarantee the dominance of the midfield when facing strong opponents."

"Shit! He is only 20 years old now, and no one can predict his future, and it has been proved that he has led two teams to championships in these two seasons, which is enough to prove his worth!"

"He is my player. I brought him from China. I know all his technical characteristics. He is the best choice for Barcelona's midfield. Only he can activate Barcelona's weak midfield!" Miranda stared , pointing at the members of the presidium, said sadly: "He is ours, all we have to do is take him home! Let him return to his own place! Instead of wandering outside!"

The members of the presidium were a little ashamed by what they said, but in fact, what they did was really dishonest.

Chairman Bartomeu comforted Miranda to sit down, and the latter cursed and said nothing.

Bartomeu turned to head coach Enrique and said, "Sir, what is your opinion?"

When Enrique saw the gun pointed at himself, he smiled and said, "I can do it."

What do you mean?

The members of the bureau looked at each other.

Instead, Miranda glanced at Enrique and said, "The difference between you and Pep is that you don't have enough courage in the transfer market!"

Enrique scratched his head in embarrassment, facing Miranda, he felt a little guilty.

Miranda was in charge of La Masia when Enrique was a player.

Until Enrique retired as the head coach of Barcelona B team, Miranda was still La Masia's youth training director and provided him with a lot of help.

In terms of seniority, both Enrique and Pep Guardiola are his juniors.

This is an old man who has dedicated his life to Barcelona.

Chairman Bartomeu continued to appease, then looked at the sports director and said, "Which teams are interested in Yi?"

Sports director Robert took out his notebook and said: "The Premier League has Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City. Serie A has Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan. Ligue 1 has Paris. The Bundesliga has Bayern and Dortmund. These are balls with a certain purchasing power. Team, there are many other teams, but I don't think they can take Yi."

Hearing this, Chairman Bartomeu said in surprise: "Is there any team in La Liga that is interested in Yi?"

The sports director Robert smiled awkwardly and coughed dryly: "Ahem... Real Madrid, they have already contacted Tottenham and want the right of first refusal, but they have Modric, I don't think Real Madrid will really need it. Yi. Of course, it is also possible that Real Madrid will choose to give up Modric for Yi, after all, Tottenham's performance this season has shocked everyone!"

Now, the members of the presidium couldn't sit still. Yi Le can go to any team, but he can't go to Real Madrid alone. This is an insult to Barcelona.

Chairman Bartomeu immediately said: "Beginning to contact Tottenham, we must not let Yi appear at the Bernabeu!"

"Also, start preparing for the purchase plan this season!" Chairman Bartomeu took a deep breath and said, "If necessary, I can publicly apologize."

Miranda pouted...

Chairman Bartomeu made the final decision; "Next season, we will fully promote Yi's transfer."

Sports Director Robert nodded and said, "Mr. Chairman, what should this transfer plan be called?"

Chairman Bartomeu pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Go home!"
