This summer, Etoo was having a pretty bad life.

Due to his outstanding performance in the second half of La Liga, the African Cheetah was eager to represent the national team with confidence and performance in the French Federation Cup in June.

And he started well, scoring the winning goal in the first game of the group stage, defeating Brazil 1-0.

After that, he defeated Turkey and tied the United States, and Cameroon successfully qualified in the group.

But in the semi-finals against Colombia, his best friend Vivian Foe died of a sudden heart attack while out of the ball, which shocked the world football world.

Although Cameroon defeated Colombia with one goal in the end, it could not make up for the impact of Vivian Foo's sudden death, and the team also lost to the host France in the final.

Henry, who was regarded as his rival by Etoo, scored a winning goal in overtime.

Losing friends and champions, Eto ended his holiday in vain and returned to Spain.

But what awaited him was the rejection from Real Madrid.

After performing well in the second half of last season, Etoo's desire to return to Real Madrid was obvious. He even asked his agent to take the initiative to contact Real Madrid, expressing his strong willingness to return to the Bernabeu.

But the responses I received were very cold and there were no plans for the relevant aspects for the time being.

"I have received reliable news that Real Madrid has basically finalized Beckham's transfer, and it is only waiting to be announced to the public. In order to make a place for Beckham, Morientes will leave the team."

Agent Mezales stared at Etoo and said remindedly.

Even Morientes is leaving the team. It is easy to imagine how bloated Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt is.

Eto's dark face looked gloomy and a little scary, "What do they say?"

"They said, let you wait in Mallorca."

"Wait?" Etoo suddenly sneered, "How many years have I been waiting?"

Without waiting for the agent to answer, Etoo replied by himself: "From Leganes to Espanyol, and then to Real Mallorca, I have been waiting from 1997 to now, for eight years. They ask me to wait every time. When will I wait?"

When joining Real Madrid at the age of 16, Etoo has never been able to escape the fate of being loaned. Even if he stayed in Real Madrid for two seasons, he only played three games for Real Madrid from beginning to end, and spent the rest of his time in Leganes, Espanyol and Real Mallorca, especially Real Mallorca.

"If they don't want me, then I should let me go!" Etoo shouted hatefully.

In 2001, Real Madrid bought half of Etoo's ownership from Real Madrid and spent 4.5 million, while Real Madrid refused to sell the other half because they were optimistic about Etoo's future.

This has left Eto'o's thought in his mind for the past two years, that is, one day, he will return to the Bernabeu.

Even last season, Etoo refused to celebrate after helping Real Mallorca beat the Bernabeu.

But now, what he is waiting for is another slander.

"I've had enough of these days. You tell Real Madrid that I've had enough of it. I'm going to transfer and I'm going to leave here!"

Etoo was furious.

The sudden death of his friend Vivian Foo was very exciting to him because he was on the court and watched his teammate fall down like this. He was confused at the time and his mind was blank.

He even kept asking himself, what if the person who fell down at that time was him?

"Samuel, calm down. Now is not the time to act voluntarily." agent Mezales reminded.

"Calm down? I'm very calm. Luis is right. I shouldn't have expectations for Real Madrid. At the Bernabeu, there is no place for me. He always wants Ronaldo, not me!"

Luis Aragones, a hardcore Atletico Madrid fan, is also Etoo's most respected mentor.

It is precisely because of the unconditional support of Aragones in the past few years that Etoo has performed well in the second half of last season. Etoo has always kept this in mind.

Mezales is just a small lawyer from Africa. When Etoo was about to come to Real Madrid, he temporarily found him as his lawyer and agent, but in fact, he had no connections in European football.

And his cowardice and servility in the face of Real Madrid made Etoo increasingly dissatisfied.

"I want to leave Real Madrid!" Etoo said word by word at his agent.

"It's okay to buy out Real Madrid or go to Valencia. There's no problem going to Barcelona. As long as I can leave Real Madrid, I can."

At this time, he needs professional advice from the agent.

But Mezales was a little hesitant, his eyes were full of flashes because he didn't know what to do.

Contact Valencia and Barcelona?

He has no idea how to start.

This made Etoo feel dissatisfied and even a little angry.

But just as he was about to get angry, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

Aragones?

As soon as Etoo saw the caller ID, he was a little surprised, but he immediately answered.

"Samuel, it's me." Aragones greeted him with a smile on the other side of the phone, looking just like usual.

"I'm glad to receive your call, Louis." Etoo took a deep breath, calmed down and replied lightly.

"This is the thing, Samuel, someone just went to Spain to treat me to dinner and told me about you. He was very interested in you."

Etoo was stunned, "Who?"

“High Cold.”

"Gao Han?" The name for Etoo is no less than a bolt from the blue.

You should know that in the past two years, the name Gao Han has definitely been well-known in La Liga, and can even be said to be a god-like existence, especially the Atletico Madrid team he led, which is almost invincible.

What is even more admirable is that every player he has cultivated is a well-known star in European football today.

Villa and Torres are the objects of Etoo's envy.

At least, Atletico Madrid's Gemini has won the Champions League, but Etoo is still empty-handed.

"He's about to start coaching Chelsea and needs a top scorer who thinks you are."

A word from Aragones made Etoo flattered.

Top scorer?

You know, he has never performed like this so far in his career, and it is hard to say even the second half of last season.

"To be honest, Samuel, I have always believed in your abilities. If anyone in European football can bring you to the top of your career, there is no doubt that it must be Gao Han."

"He's an incredible guy!"

Eto'o was a little surprised. He never expected that Aragones, who had always been arrogant, would say such words.

But after hanging up the phone, Etoo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Playing football for Gao Han is indeed an undeniable temptation, but going to the Premier League...

…………

…………

When Etoo was struggling with whether to accept Gao Han’s invitation on Mallorca, there was also a Real Madrid player in Madrid who was indignant about his own experience, and also mentioned Gao Han’s name.

He is Real Madrid's main midfielder, Claude Marklele.

Since December last year, the renewal of Marklele has entered Real Madrid's agenda, but the two sides have never reached an agreement. Marklele even mentioned the renewal with Florentino in person, but failed to make any progress.

At present, his annual salary in Real Madrid is only 1.2 million euros, which is a low-class income.

But when he was in the French national team, his roommate Vieira told him that in order to poach, Real Madrid personally promised an annual salary of 4 million euros and a bonus of 1.2 million euros, but Vieira asked for an annual salary of 5.5 million euros.

Marklele asked herself that her strength was not inferior to Vieira. The two were also teammates who fought side by side in the French national team, but the salary gap was so huge that Marklele was dissatisfied and decided to fight for his own rights.

But as a result, half a year has passed and no progress has been made so far.

“They have a tough attitude.”

Agent Marco Roger shook his head and sighed, "General Manager Bardano told me in person that he would either agree to the club's request or sit on the bench for three years. He said that Real Madrid would never accept any threats from anyone."

Hearing this, Marklele felt a sense of powerlessness.

In the past few days, the attitude of the Spanish media has been the same as that of Valdano, without any compromise.

Because they believe that in Real Madrid, Guti, Cambiaso, Elgra, Flavio, Serades and other players can all be competent for the midfielder position, and whether he or she is Marklele is not important.

Especially after Beckham joined the team, the overall strength of the Galaxy Battleships became even better.

"Is there no other way?" Marklele looked at the agent with concern.

"There's another way," replied Marco Roger.

"What?"

"Transfer and leave the team."

"Transfer?" Marklele was a little surprised.

Real Madrid can be said to be the biggest team in football today. It is a team that all professional players dream of. When transferring and leaving, Marklele felt a little disappointed.

But the French quickly adjusted their mindset and looked at the agent again, "Are they willing to let them go?"

"Well, Bardano said that as long as there is a team willing to pay you a transfer fee of 20 million euros, you can take you away at any time."

"What?" Marklele stood up in shock, "Twenty million euros? He was crazy!"

He is thirty years old and is a defensive player. Who would be willing to pay a transfer fee of 20 million euros for a thirty-year-old defensive player?
