Chapter 10 Beckham's Transfer

After the game, the media's scolding of Capello reached a peak. Especially for his move to replace Gago, anyone could see that he was the only person who was able to break the deadlock at that time by Real Madrid.

"I don't understand why Capello replaced Gago. Even in order to strengthen his offense, he should have replaced Emerson, who was mediocre in the game. Gago intercepted the ball seven times, assisted once, and passed thirty-six times in the whole game. His performance was worthy of his value. He had a perfect debut, but because of a substitution, he smashed everything.

As the core of the midfield, Emerson did not have a decent pass, and his pace was still so slow that it could make people fall asleep. Real Madrid could not make a decent counterattack under La Coruña's fast attack throughout the game. Capello's defensive counterattack strategy lost the most important counterattack."

Gago put down the "Marca" in his hand, and the media was very satisfied with his premiere. When he was on the court, Real Madrid's midfield was not as chaotic as before, and his two insertions created a good opportunity.

After the game, many media were waiting in the aisle to interview Gago. But the old Guti pushed all the reporters away. The Fourteenth Master has never had a good image in the media and is not afraid of offending people. Gago naturally knew how he first came. If he was like the media complaining about Capello for a substitution, he might have been on the bench all season.

The wisest way at this time is to shut up. Neither express your mentality nor agree with Capello's approach. I have to say that this is the smartest way. After the game, his agent Rombia called to praise his behavior. After Gago answered the phone, he thought for a while before he realized that this middle-aged uncle was the person he called him when he just returned to the hotel from the Bernabeu.

"So he is my agent."

Gago, who hung up the phone, finally knew who the middle-aged man was. Fortunately, Rombia didn't know, otherwise he would definitely vomit blood. I worked hard to send you to Real Madrid, but you even crossed the river and burned the bridge and forgot me.

During this period, many people wanted to interview him, but they were rejected by Gago. However, Xiao Yangiao and Xiao Ma who lived next to him looked envious and jealous. Especially Xiao Ma, who premiered in Real Madrid, no one came to interview me. I felt extremely unbalanced.

Since there is also the 8th-finals of the King's Cup in the middle of the week, there has been no physical exercise in training these days. Every time Gago enters the club, he has to try his best to avoid the reporters surrounded by the door. At this time, he envies Real Madrid superstars with cars and houses. If you are at home, you don't have to worry about being photographed secretly. If you have cars, you can drive into the club directly, and the guard will naturally help him stop the reporter.

Thinking of this, Gago immediately called his agent. He had signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid and would definitely live in Madrid in the future. He asked him to find a house for himself first, and wait until the season is over to find a house with a clean environment.

As for the car, the rich Guti once saw Gago's embarrassing look at the door, and waved his hand and borrowed one of his Audis. At first, Gago was unwilling to ask for it, but when the Fourteenth Master took him to his garage and saw several cars that ordinary people could not buy in their lifetime, they immediately took it away without hesitation.

Since then, the young master Jiada, who has a house and a car, left Xiao Yangui and Xiao Ma's "living together". However, the good times did not last long. Xiao Yangui, who felt that staying in a hotel was not a big deal, discussed with Xiao Ma, and rented a house next to him for two days after Gago moved out. Every day when he went to the club, he would pick up the good car he borrowed.

Gago expressed helplessness about this, and the two thick-skinned guys rolled their eyes to him, which was obviously unwelcome to him.

On January 12th, in the 8th-finals of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid first challenged Real Betis away. In this game, Gago did not even make the roster. The two of them silently vented against the ball in the club's training ground. It is worth mentioning that Higuain was finally remembered by Capello and took the starting position. Another person who accompanied Gago to train was Beckham, and the heartthrob was also excluded from the roster this time. He didn't look in shape during training, which made Gago very puzzled.

After the training, Beckham said something inexplicably to Gago: "Real Madrid will depend on you in the future."

Real Madrid, who originally wanted a big victory to boost morale, was finally tied 0:0 by Real Betis, who was defending his best. In this game, everyone could see that Real Madrid's midfield was still in a bad state, and he was sleepwalking on the court. Gago was not there, Guti was injured again, and no one was organizing the midfield, and it was a mess. All Real Madrid players broke through to the end after getting the ball. The only highlight of this game was Higuain, who made his debut on the team and created one of the few opportunities.

However, Real Madrid, which lacked effective cooperation in the frontcourt, was defended to the end by Betis' iron barrel formation. Fortunately, Real Madrid's defense was not bad in this game, and he was not hit by the opponent's several counterattacks.

At the post-match press conference, many media asked Capello why he didn't bring Gago and why Emerson was obviously in poor condition and could start.

Regarding these questions, Capello turned around and left without saying a word.

However, if he didn't say it, it didn't mean that the media could not write it. So the next day, all kinds of speculative articles were released.

"Gago is not liked by Capello, expresses regret coming to Real Madrid"

"Real Madrid's locker room collectively excludes Emerson"

"The locker room is in chaos, Capello is unable to control it"

"Capello resigned after the season is revealed, Real Madrid secretly seeks the head coach next season"

...

Gago had no intention of clarifying the media's speculation, and still trained on his own every day and practiced long passes. However, in just one day, the media's support for Gago disappeared because something big shocked the football world happened. To be precise, a transfer attracted the attention of all media.

Winter transfers are usually minor repairs, and there are few major transfers that shock the football world. For example, Gago's transfer to Real Madrid for $27 million this winter is already considered the king. If this is in the summer, it can only be regarded as a scrap.

On January 12, Beckham held a press conference and expressed his regret that he did not reach a consensus with Real Madrid. He has reached an agreement with Los Angeles Galaxy in the American Major League. After the end of this season, he will leave Real Madrid and go to the United States.

Beckham's press conference was only a dozen minutes long, but it was a big blow to the whole world. Although Beckham is already 32 years old, he is still the most valuable star in football. The money he earns in the world every year is definitely among the top three of all the stars.

In recent years, Ronaldinho has been at the peak of his life, so he has slipped to second place, but his value is still coveted. When Real Madrid announced that Beckham joined four years ago, his jerseys were sold out in just ten minutes in 200 Real Madrid jersey sales stores. In half a year, Beckham's jerseys sold out one million pieces.

Some media even sarcastically said that Real Madrid bought "heartthrobs" not to play football, but to sell jerseys.

As the former captain of the England national team, Beckham is not the best person in the world, but he is definitely the most handsome and eye-catching person! After Real Madrid spent 23 million pounds to buy Beckham, many Spanish media believe that Beckham is not worth that much money.

Indeed, from a competitive perspective, it may not be worth it, but he is a "heartthrob". The commercial market he brings can bring more benefits to Real Madrid every year.

After getting the news, "Ass" made some calculations for Real Madrid. In the four years after Beckham joined Real Madrid, Real Madrid earned 300 million pounds from him, which is equivalent to 440 million euros. The team's annual commercial advertising and other benefits increased by 137% compared with the previous same period.

Although Beckham has grown older recently and has not been as crazy as before, if Real Madrid loses him, they may have to earn at least 30 million euros less each year.

Calderon, who had originally wanted to let him back and forth, had immediately dropped the cup in his hand after learning the news. Then he immediately called Capello. The two of them discussed in the office for a long time, and Capello finally walked out angrily.

Real Madrid held a press conference that night and issued a statement on Beckham's private contract signing with the Galaxy Los Angeles, saying that Beckham would not have another chance to play.

At the press conference, Capello, who was sitting next to the head of Real Madrid's business department, said with a tense face.

"He won't get even one minute of playing time again."

The media at the scene began to get excited and raised their hands to signal, saying that they had problems, but Capello did not say anything next. Everything was taken over by Jose Sanchez, the head of the business department, who was beside him, and constantly condemned Beckham's behavior of signing the contract privately.

The next day, the media, who had been expecting Beckham to come out to bombard the club, told the news to the "heartthrobs" who came to the club to train. But Beckham did not say anything, and still trained as usual, without any look of anger because of being banned.

On the training ground, his teammates came up to talk to Beckham, and he also responded one by one with a smile, but no one wanted to persuade him to stay in Real Madrid. In the West, no one would interfere after the master made his own decision.

"Guys, although I can't fight with you next season, I will come back and see it often. For the last half of the season, let's work hard. You know, after I came to Real Madrid, I haven't won a championship once, and the media outside have always said that I brought bad luck here. I hope that this year, in my last year, I can win a championship."

After Beckham finished speaking, his teammates present expressed that they would work hard to help him fulfill this wish.

Capello, who came to the training ground, heard this and left silently.
