Compared with Aulas, who was stunned and paralyzed by the facts before him, Laporta seemed much calmer. The most powerful thing about the best Barcelona president after Nunez is that he can assess the situation well at any time, and then use superb political skills to avoid danger or seize benefits. For example, now, when everyone is panicking because of George's display of strength, he is the only one who calmly analyzes the current situation and realizes that George's move is just to scare the monkeys, and to use this to create a strong influence within G14 and even the general public. The entire European football world has established enough prestige!
In this case, as the chairman of Barcelona, I will definitely not end up like Dreyfus. The most he can do is bow to the opponent, admit his mistake, change his position, and express his support for Tottenham to join the G14. That’s it!
However, to Laporta's surprise, George did not seem to let go of his plan easily: "Chairman Laporta, if I remember correctly, Ronaldinho's liquidated damages seem to be 200 million. Euros, right?”
"That's right." Laporta nodded after hearing this, and immediately became alert, "Wait, Viscount Nelson, why are you asking this?"
"Don't worry, I don't plan to do anything too shocking." George smiled at Laporta, first giving the Barcelona chairman reassurance. But soon, his second sentence made Laporta's heart suddenly rise to his throat, "I just think it's time to refresh the world record for player transfer fees. Anyway, in order to snipe Adidas, We’ve already spent so much money, spending another 200 million euros shouldn’t be a big deal... Chairman Laporta, do you think this is true?”
"What?!" After hearing George's last words, Laporta suddenly took a breath and used all his strength to control his voice. "Could it be that you plan to use the 200 million euros transfer fee? To take Ronaldinho from Barcelona?!"
"Well..." George pondered for a while, and finally said something that made Laporta almost run away on the spot, "What do you think?"
After witnessing the tragedy of Dreyfus, Laporta didn't have the slightest doubt in his heart about whether George could afford the 120 million euros in liquidated damages. Because he knew very well that he could mobilize a large amount of funds in a short period of time to attack a world-class company like Adidas and beat it into such a miserable state. The funds mobilized by George definitely exceeded 1 billion US dollars! Under such circumstances, it is really not impossible for the other party to spend an additional 200 million euros to acquire Ronaldinho!
Laporta doesn't dare to pin his hopes on Ronaldinho's feelings for Barcelona. You know, not long ago, France's "Le Figaro" published a report stating that when Ronaldinho moved from Gremio to Paris Saint-Germain in 2001 and to Barcelona in the summer of 2003, his agent brother Assisi received high illegal commissions. As the decision-maker who made the decision to introduce Ronaldinho at the time, Laporta naturally knew the authenticity of this report!
Therefore, if you think that Ronaldinho will not choose to leave White Hart Lane under the temptation of Tottenham's money because of his core treatment at Barcelona and his feelings for Camp Nou, then the final result will definitely make Laporta and Barcelona I can’t even cry!
Thinking of this, Laporta couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and at the same time secretly made up his mind to ask Begiristain to discuss contract renewal with Ronaldinho as soon as the meeting was over! No matter what, we must complete the contract extension with the Brazilian as soon as possible, and then increase the amount of Ronaldinho's liquidated damages to a level that is enough to give him peace of mind!
"At least it has to be so that even if the other side forcibly poaches Ronaldinho, the transfer fee left behind can allow the club to squander it for a period of time!" Laporta knows that it is in line with Barcelona's football philosophy and can also be integrated into this tactical system. Players are not easy to find, and there will definitely be many transfer transactions that are called parallel imports by fans and media. Therefore, after learning that George was interested in Ronaldinho, he had to be fully prepared for it!
Seeing that the purpose of scaring the other party had been achieved, George smiled slightly and ignored Laporta, whose face turned white and blue. Although he does have the ability to force Barcelona to agree to discuss personal treatment issues with Ronaldinho by paying liquidated damages, and he is also very confident to convince Ronaldinho's agent brother, but don't forget that Tottenham now has a frontcourt With Robben, Cristiano Ronaldo, Drogba and Klose all equally top players, there is no need to poach Ronaldinho. After all, if Ronaldinho really moves to White Hart Lane, Tottenham's frontcourt will undoubtedly become extremely crowded, causing disharmony in the atmosphere in the team's locker room!
We are not yet ten years from now. Players at this time are not as money-worshiping as their younger generations, and they are not yet willing to sit on the bench at a club just for a fat contract. Not to mention, even in George's previous life, many players were still at odds with the club for too little playing time while earning high salaries.
Therefore, the introduction of Ronaldinho is just a means for George to beat Laporta and let him know that some people are not something he can afford to offend!
"Viscount Nelson!" At this time, Dreyfus saw that he was too tough, so he had to change his strategy and start pretending to be pitiful, trying to win the other party's compassion in exchange for a chance of survival, and decisively ignored the contemptuous looks of the people around him, " Your Excellency has a lot! Seeing that I knew nothing about your true identity before, please spare me this time! I promise that from now on, I will obey your orders and there will never be any Any two words!”
Nonsense, since you already know that the other party can evaporate more than half of your wealth in a few minutes with just a few clicks, and may even cause Adidas's capital chain to completely break in a short period of time, then it is only right to give in quickly. How? Maybe he will continue to fight with the other party to the end?
As Dreyfus and Laporta, the two leading birds, were defeated by George one after another, Aulas, another leader who opposed Tottenham's entry into G14, was intimidated by the strong strength displayed by George and did not dare to act rashly again. In the subsequent voting, Tottenham's proposal to join the G14 organization was successfully passed with 17 votes in favor and 1 abstention!
In this way, after experiencing a moderate turmoil, Tottenham finally became an official member of this top European organization!
