Chapter 348 Rose Derby, meeting at the top!
Laporta made a determined call to Ronaldinho's agent.
Inform the other party that the club has agreed to the offers from AC Milan and Chelsea.
London or Milan, Ronaldinho can choose one.
Barcelona actually doesn’t need to participate in the rest.
As long as Ronaldinho's agent negotiates treatment with the two clubs, the transfer can be officially completed after reaching an agreement.
But after Laporta hung up the phone, his face became a little ugly again.
Guardiola noticed something strange.
"what happened again?"
Laporta sighed and said solemnly: "Ronaldinho's brother said... that he is not interested in Milan or London and only wants to go to Leeds United."
Guardiola was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
"You tell him that he can only choose between AC Milan and Chelsea!"
Laporta looked up at Guardiola, who was suddenly excited and his posture became a little tough.
Guardiola realized his gaffe and said quickly: "Think about Helguera, think about Ronaldo, think about Van Bronckhorst..."
"Come on! Don't always give me problems! You want him to leave, but you don't want him to go to Leeds United. You have requirements, but not everyone can meet your requirements. I'm confused. Leeds United didn't even make an offer. , Why does he have to go to Leeds United? Does he want us to sell him to Leeds United at a low price to save Leeds United money? Or does he want to get a sky-high signing fee from Leeds United? "
Laporta was momentarily distraught.
He finally made up his mind to accept the offer of 2100 million euros, which was still at least 500 million euros short of his psychological expectations.
As a result, Ronaldinho still didn't leave.
What's the point of riding a horse?
On one side, there are those who stubbornly refuse to marry anyone other than Leeds United, and on the other side, Guardiola insists on driving her away.
He is a dignified chairman of a giant La Liga club, and being caught in the middle makes him want to die!
Guardiola sat down, shook his head and said: "Leeds United are not interested in him for the time being. I understand Leeds United's style. If they are interested in someone, they will definitely launch an offensive, but the time is not right now, even if Leeds United I'm interested in him, but I definitely don't want it to be discussed in the streets today."
Laporta looked at Guardiola and said: "I have reached this point in this matter, and I don't want to deal with the rest. Anyway, the club has agreed to the offers from Chelsea and AC Milan. Either you mediate and let Chelsea or AC Milan can impress Ronaldinho, or you can persuade Ronaldinho to accept it. I have other things to deal with and I can't always be distracted by this matter."
Laporta doesn't play anymore.
Anyway, the situation is what it is now.
To put it nicely, it's just a matter of time.
To put it harshly, it turned into a mess.
Guardiola is also depressed.
He doesn't want to face Ronaldinho.
I also don’t want to deal with Chelsea or AC Milan.
The media is not a freeloader, so you can definitely see his busy figure in it.
As a "rookie coach" coaching Barcelona, are there too many doubts about him from the outside world?
If you get yourself into trouble, how can you stabilize your military morale in the new season?
After all, Ronaldinho is the legendary hero who led Barcelona back to the La Liga throne after surviving the "dark ages" and reached the top of Europe.
If the outside world were to accuse him of being a loser, Guardiola knew that he would be drowned in the saliva of countless Barcelona fans.
Laporta let go, Guardiola avoided suspicion and refused to come forward.
Obviously the offers from AC Milan and Chelsea were approved, but the transfer has fallen into a stalemate.
...
Moscow.
Shen Hao attended the press conference before the Champions League match.
Journalists from around the world gathered.
Under the spotlight, the young Chinese handsome man has a strong aura. Sitting on the stage, his eyes are sharp and his expression is serious.
But the first question asked by the reporter made his eyes slightly cold.
"What is your response to Ronaldinho's statement that he wants to join Leeds United?"
Shen Hao said bluntly: "Originally, this had nothing to do with tomorrow's game, but now it has attracted strong attention from the outside world. It is necessary for me to respond. So far, Leeds United has no plans to introduce Ronaldinho."
There was an uproar at the scene.
If what Shen Hao said is true.
So Ronaldinho is being pretentious?
The reporter asked reluctantly: "But Ronaldinho's agent publicly stated..."
Shen Hao directly interrupted the other party's question.
"There are many players in the world who want to join Leeds United. It is impossible for us to satisfy every player's desire to join. I don't want to waste time on this issue. Please don't ask any more questions that have nothing to do with tomorrow's game."
The reporters looked at each other.
What Shen Hao said was a bit harsh!
Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless.
Leeds United's attitude is that they don't care about Ronaldinho.
Shen Hao knew very well that he had to express his attitude today, and he could not be vague or ambiguous.
The Champions League final hasn't even been played yet, is it necessary to let his main players have random thoughts?
It is impossible for a star of Ronaldinho's level to come to Leeds United as a substitute.
So who will he replace?
Robben?Deisler?
Maybe even midfielders can't help but think about it.
There is no guarantee that Ronaldinho will not be used to replace a midfielder to make the attacking group more gorgeous.
Shen Hao's statement was not meant for reporters and fans, nor was it meant for Ronaldinho.
Instead, he sent a message to his disciples.
This kind of thing is not very convincing behind closed doors.
Only by speaking openly and openly to the whole world can people be convinced.
After this episode passed, the reporters finally returned to the main topic.
"Leeds United defeated Manchester United to win the title in the final game of the Premier League 11 days ago. In terms of morale, performance, and achievements in the past three years, Leeds United has an overwhelming advantage over Manchester United. Does this mean tomorrow's victory? Leeds United already have a chance to win the Champions League final?"
When faced with this problem, Shen Hao lost his previous arrogance and publicity, and instead took matters seriously.
"In fact, Leeds United's current situation is more dangerous. In the past three seasons, we have won three consecutive Premier League titles, but not every season has the same content. In the first year, we were the dark horse, and in the second year, we The lineup is strong. In the third year, we made changes, went through the pain, and finally had the last laugh. The victory in the final game of the Premier League allowed us to win the third Premier League championship trophy.
But we no longer have any secrets in front of Manchester United. Manchester United will learn their lesson and they will not repeat the performance of 11 days ago in tomorrow's final.
This is like Leeds United in the open and Manchester United in the dark. If we have the mentality that if we win a few times, we will always win. Tomorrow night, we will only go home with a runner-up medal.
We must face tomorrow night's final more cautiously, showing the maturity we deserve as a defending champion, rather than losing our vigilance and becoming a living target for the regicide. "
If there was no Rose Derby in the final decisive battle of the Premier League, Shen Hao would not be too cautious and seemed to lack a bit of domineering strength.
But the final battle is too close.
Leeds United won the local Triple Crown, which can easily make the team underestimate the enemy.
Since he is worried, he will not just worry simply, silently, or secretly.
Instead, this will be emphasized repeatedly to the players.
If he is wrong.
That's wrong!
As a head coach, the situation that I fear most is that I clearly noticed the signs of a crisis, but did not pay enough attention and take action.
What's the use of regretting it after the disaster happened?
The media has already felt Shen Hao's caution about this final.
On the other side of the city, Ferguson also answered many questions from reporters at the pre-match press conference.
For example, Manchester United's morale recovery after losing the league championship, and Leeds United's confidence in facing Leeds United, who have not won yet this season, and even lost with a net loss of 2 goals.
Ferguson's answer was sonorous and convincing.
There is no ambiguity at all.
He admitted his failure in the league, but still maintained confidence in the Champions League final.
Looking forward to the final, he is aware that it will be a tough battle, but insists that Leeds United and Manchester United are [-]-[-].
The focus of the European media has really begun to turn to the Champions League final.
If Ronaldinho hadn't added the drama, the media would have already completed the foreshadowing, and the atmosphere would definitely be in place.
As for Ronaldinho...
Anyway, after watching Leeds United's press conference before the Champions League final, Guardiola felt that things would go smoothly.
Because Shen Hao publicly stated that he had no plans to introduce Ronaldinho, and also firmly stated that not every player's desire to join Leeds United will be satisfied.
If it were an ordinary player, the dream of reaching the top in one step would be shattered.
But for Ronaldinho, he is truly Mr. Golden Ball!
You can't post it based on wishful thinking, right?
Leeds United is closed!
Shen Hao's statement almost welded the door shut!
London or Milan, which is not better than Leeds?
Guardiola thought Ronaldinho would make a quick decision.
But he didn't!
Ronaldinho went on holiday.
After a short vacation, he will report to the Brazilian Olympic team and then compete in the Olympic Games in China as an over-age player.
Chelsea and AC Milan are in a state of confusion.
Barcelona agreed to the offer.
Ronaldinho's brother just ignored them and expressed the need to consider the contract they sent.
Let them wait for news...
Guardiola was numb after learning about the situation!
Ronaldinho's transfer has stalled.
Guardiola is afraid that Chelsea and AC Milan will be impatient and may choose to withdraw the offer and close the deal at any time.
...
Champions League final day.
Moscow, Russia.
Luzhniki Stadium.
As night falls, the sky is shrouded in haze.
The wind rises and the rain falls.
Scattered raindrops could not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene.
The theatrical performance before the finals has also been completed.
White for Leeds United, red for Manchester United.
The distinction between Jing and Wei is distinct, and each court resists etiquette.
When Shen Hao and Ferguson entered the field, even on the stage of the Champions League final, the two coaches did not show the grace to have a formal handshake.
Each stood in the coach's command area.
Shen Hao, who was wearing a suit and ties, took off his coat and turned around and threw it to assistant coach Simeone, who gave his coat to Feiningan for safekeeping.
A vest, shirt, and trousers. Compared with his usual attire, Shen Hao wore a tie today.
He crossed his arms across his chest with a solemn expression, and his deep eyes concealed a sharp murderous aura.
Ferguson is wearing a sports windbreaker. He is getting older. Even though it is already summer, the wind and rain in Moscow at night may make even the elderly worry about arthritis in his legs.
The shouts of Leeds United fans and Manchester United fans were deafening, intertwined into an indistinguishable noise.
The starting players of the two teams appeared on the stage holding their ball boys.
The stadium is divided into two, and the team logo pattern covering almost half of the field shows the two protagonists of tonight's ultimate showdown in European football!
"Dear fans in white, are you ready? Xiaopang and Glasses will commentate on the final battle of the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League live at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow!
Leeds United and Manchester United moved the Rose Derby to the stage of the Champions League final.
The hatred between Lancashire and Yorkshire hundreds of years ago continues to this day. In the Premier League, Leeds United and Manchester United are fighting each other. In Europe, they meet at the top for a fierce battle. In this duel, there is no friendship. Only the winner takes it all! "
“Leeds United not only completed a double-kill against Manchester United in the league this season, but also gave Manchester United a fatal blow in the final game of the league, making Manchester United’s efforts throughout the season in vain!
Tonight, Leeds United, as the defending champions of the Champions League, face the challenge from the former Champions League champions Manchester United.
Tonight is the first time in 18 years that a team has defended its Champions League title. It is also a carnival of regicides and a feast for the restoration of the king. Let us wait and see! "
“It rained suddenly before the game. Although it has little impact now, as the game progresses, it will definitely have a certain impact on the venue and the performance of the players.
Yesterday, Brother Hao warned the team that we should be wary of Manchester United to see if Manchester United will make unexpected arrangements and changes today.
At the same time, Ferguson also said that Manchester United has turned the grief of losing the league championship into strength. Maybe they will break out of unusual combat power today in a mournful posture! "
“Let’s take a look at the starting lineups of both teams first.
Leeds United started 433.
Goalkeeper: Toldo.
Defenders: Kelly, Kompany, Helguera, Candela.
Midfielder: Jamie Redknapp, Modric, Ze Roberto.
Forwards: Robben, Ronaldo, Deisler.
What is surprising is that both Van Bronckhorst and Belletti were on the bench today.
It seems that Brother Hao's caution is not just lip service.
But it’s really reflected in action.
Manchester United started today 433.
Goalkeeper: Van der Sar.
Defenders: Wes Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.
Midfielder: Carrick, Scholes, Hargreaves.
Forwards: Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo.
Manchester United's starting lineup is exactly the same as it was in the final game of the Premier League and has not changed!
But it cannot be simply assumed that Manchester United has not changed its technical and tactical style of play.
The pre-match kick-off ceremony is about to end, and next, the ultimate showdown in European football this season is about to take place! "
Ferguson was thoughtful after seeing Leeds United's starting lineup.
Shen Hao stared at the field with his head held high.
He will naturally be afraid of Manchester United, but this is not enough to change his strategy for the game.
As the defending champion, he hopes that Leeds United will actively dominate the rhythm of this final!
