Chapter 387 Two Requirements

On the morning of the 30th of the month, a car bomb attack occurred at the Madrid Capital International Airport. The separatist groups from the Basque nation once again occupied the front pages of newspapers and television news, and everyone was shocked by their operation.

The car bomb attack caused panic among all walks of life in Madrid and Spain, and also caused the first training camp for Real Madrid after Christmas, with multiple players absent because the Madrid Capital Airport almost suspended all domestic and international flights.

But Beckham was not affected by this bomb attack at all, and became one of the few foreign players in the training base of Valdebebas except for many local players, including Raul. In order to return to Spain from Japan, he took a private plane, so he was not affected by the bomb attack at the international airport.

Pay more money, only one goal, catch up with the team's training on time丨

Even though, his position in the team seems to be declining

There are very few people, and head coach Capello has communicated with almost every player who arrived on time, except Beckham.

Beckham has forgotten how long it took for him to have not said anything to Capello, and even a lot of thoughts about each other were learned through reporters and media reports. For example, Beckham learned from the newspaper that Capello was very dissatisfied with him, not only at the beginning of the season, but also because he attended Tom Cruise's wedding while he was recuperating. But the problem is that he said this at the beginning.

"One day, when I get old, I will definitely be the same as you are now." Captain Raul also talked about his views on this matter in private communication.

It's not just because Beckham went to attend his friend's wedding during his recovery, but because he was not in Capello's plan from the beginning. Otherwise, why did Capello come on stage and announce the list of cleanings announced in addition to Ronaldo, Beckham and Raul?

Beckham and Raul have many similarities, for example, they don’t like to give in easily, so even though Capello announced from the beginning that he would no longer plan, both of them still worked hard to prove themselves. Raul did it and did a good job, while Beckham lacked opportunities.

Because there were not enough people, the training could not be carried out, but Capello asked all the players to arrange training programs for themselves, and then he took his assistants away, while Beckham, Raul and others trained on the training ground by themselves

They are all veterans. If they do not work harder than young people in training, their condition will not be guaranteed at all.

This is also the reason why many people think that Raul is still the leader of the team. This is not based on qualifications, because if you don’t have the strength, no matter how much qualifications you have, it’s nonsense, but on the prestige established bit by bit over time.

Even though Beckham was rejected by Capello, he has a good popularity within the team, including Raul and others, and many people who opposed him joining Real Madrid have now accepted him, which is also because of Beckham's dedication and diligence in training and games.

Sometimes, people are like this. When one side of you is too bright and dazzling, people will always ignore the other side of you.

When he was sweating profusely in his training, and when he felt that it was almost the same, Beckham and Raul stopped their morning training classes and were about to walk out of the training ground, he saw the club's general manager Mijatovic standing outside.

Raul glanced at Beckham with some concern, patted him on the shoulder, and left alone.

Although he is the captain of the team and has a high prestige and influence in the team, he has no way to stop the team from selling a player, especially when he himself is not sure whether the player can still help the team even if he stays, he does not need to go into such muddy waters.

Sometimes the captain is a communication bridge between the team, the coaching staff and the management, but if you manage too much, it is not a good thing. On the contrary, the first unlucky person is you, especially in a giant team like Real Madrid.

"We hope that you and your agent can find a time to visit the Bernabeu today, and let's have a good talk." Mijatovic was wearing a suit and tie, without any trace of playing football back then, and looked more like a Spanish elegant gentleman.

Beckham looked up and looked at Mijatovic, "If the club continues to insist on not giving in on portrait rights, then there is no need for us to talk about anything more, but I still want to emphasize again, I hope to stay in Real Madrid."

"Then why didn't you give in?" Mijatovic frowned. This damn Englishman was too tough.

After hearing this, Beckham felt very bored. I don’t know how many times this kind of verbal trick has been ripped off in the past six months. He even felt that Capello was excluding him. One very important reason was to coerce him to make concessions on the issue of renewal, but there are two things he must not give up.

"I just need you to agree to two conditions, portrait rights and main position, I can ⊥ for the rest"

For a long time, the media has been hyping and exaggerating, saying that Beckham requires higher salary and so on. Beckham doesn't know if anyone deliberately spread it and deliberately creates pressure on him, but he only has these two things from beginning to end.

The main position is to ensure his condition. He hopes to participate in the European Cup in UR year and the 10-year South Africa World Cup, and even the Olympics held in the UK in 2019. That is a coveted honor for him. He must stick to that moment, so he wants the main position, but it does not mean that he plays every game.

As for portrait rights, over the past period of time, Beckham has felt that some people in the club are operating randomly.

Since Florentino and the team he formed stepped down, the club's authorization issue has become a problem that the outside world does not know about, but the players are deeply harmed, especially for a star like Beckham, who has very popular portrait rights, which has been poisoned.

Sponsors have never known how many times they have complained about random authorization to Beckham and his agents, and Beckham himself has not received even a penny from it. Where did the income from authorization go?

Mijatovic knows Beckham's trust, because his contract is only half a year away. He is the most dazzling superstar in the Real Madrid team. After Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo and other superstars left one after another, Beckham has become the only remaining superstar introduced by Florentino.

"We need to discuss your request with the head coach and management, but I have no way to guarantee it." Mijatovic was helpless. If he could negotiate and resolve it, he would not be willing to sell Beckham. "But I still hope that you and your agent can come to the Bernabeu to talk to. The club's attitude is very clear. Except for the main position, everything else will be the same."

As usual, everything means that everything is signed with the contract from the Florentino era, but Real Madrid will get half of Beckham's portrait rights. This is Beckham's trust in Florentino at the time, but it does not mean that he is still willing to do this now, because the Beckham brand must not be sold to these people.

Many people just saw Beckham’s glory after coming to Real Madrid. Some people even think that it was his arrival that caused Atletico Real Madrid to never achieve results. It seems that he took advantage of Real Madrid and Real Madrid suffered a big loss, but in fact?

Beckham thinks it is hard to say who is the issue at the competitive level, but on the economic level, it is right that he has a high salary, but he also earned a lot of money for Real Madrid. However, after coming to Real Madrid, some of his personal sponsorship and influence were affected. The most famous of them is that Vodafone announced in 2005 that he would not renew his contract with him, which caused him heavy losses.

This is not only Vodafone's sponsorship, but directly led to some other sponsors abandoning Beckham. In recent times, the occurrence of random authorization incidents has made Beckham almost in a hurry, but reporters don't know about all this and will not pay attention to it. Can Beckham say it?

This involves a lot of details and interests, not only Beckham himself, nor only Real Madrid, but also many aspects, such as taxation.

Who hasn't escaped taxes? If someone dares to say that he hasn't escaped taxes through some tricks, who believes it?

"I said that I only ask for two things, the main commitment and portrait rights." Beckham insisted on his attitude.

Mijatovic smiled helplessly, "That's nothing to talk about?"

Beckham also turned his head and looked at the shrewd Real Madrid general manager. He was not a fool either. "Didn't you release the news early in the morning to attract potential buyers? I also heard that Chelsea has actively participated, is that true?"

Mijatovic saw that he said it out loud, and he no longer concealed it. "Yes, there are three or four Premier League teams who are interested in you now. Chelsea is at the forefront. We have indeed had some contact with them."

After hearing this, Beckham kept shook his head, "I can't go to Chelsea."

The Blues are indeed very strong, but the problem is that this team now has a very mature structure and a very stable main lineup. It is impossible for him to go to a team that cannot guarantee that he will play in the game. If he wants to go to such a team, why don’t he continue to stay in Real Madrid?

"I have to remind you, David, no team is willing to promise your main position now." Mijatovic said with great certainty that Premier League teams interested in Beckham hope to get the Beckham sign and the influence brought by this sign.

Who would promise a main position to a player who is about to be aged and has not been able to play for a long time?

There may be, for example, the downstream teams in the Premier League, but does such a team look down on Beckham? Will he be willing to go?

In fact, in the six months since Beckham and Real Madrid have had in-depth contact with him in the second half of the year, and some other teams are talking in the media, and that's all.

Watching Mijatovic leave, Beckham stood on the concrete road beside the training ground. He didn't know what expression he should have, because he had never thought about this issue before. For a long time, he had never thought that he would have fallen to this point one day.

Perhaps, as Raul said, this is the cruelty of professional football.

Every professional player has a day of old age and a moment of abandonment, even if he has ever been so brilliant.

Perhaps, Zidane is the smartest person because he chose to leave at the most glorious time, and he left without any attachment or hesitation.

But that's Zidane, and Beckham will never be Zidane

Beckham returned to his home in northern Madrid from Valdebebas, passed the Madrid Capital Airport on the way, and saw that there were many police stationed at every intersection there, obviously guarding against another attack by terrorists.

After a short period of congestion, when he returned home, his wife Victoria and agent Simon Fowler were discussing something in the living room. As soon as Beckham entered the door, he threw away the car keys and lay tiredly on the soft sofa, talking about the conversation he had just met with Mijatovic.

"I'm almost certain that the authorized matter must be unrelated to him. They are now using this method to coerce you to renew your contract." Simon Fowler said this sentence in a very affirmative tone, and he also has his own information channels and sources.

Victoria shook her head, "That's impossible. We worked hard to build up all this today. It's impossible to destroy it in their hands. At worst, we can leave Real Madrid. I don't believe there will be no club to ask for David."

Simon Fowler also nodded: "Yes, yes, Chelsea really want to get David. This team is the number one favorite in the Premier League this season, and is even regarded as the favorite team in the Champions League. It is the fastest-rise team in the Premier League in recent years, and they are in London."

Speaking of London, it is inexplicably exciting to the Beckham and his wife. This is not only because they both come from London, but because Beckham has always been regarded as a signature figure in the London Olympics, and Victoria has always felt that everything must be used to maintain this flag of Beckham as the signature figure in the London Olympics.

"Can they guarantee the main position?" Beckham asked.

Simon Fowler looked at Victoria, who shook his head helplessly. This was Beckham's insistence. He wanted to go back to the Premier League, while Victoria wanted him to go to the United States.

"Chelsea's roster is huge, they can't guarantee the main position, but their salary remains the same, and they are willing to hand over all the portrait rights to us. This is the phone call Peter Kenyon himself.

After hearing this, Beckham suddenly asked with a wry smile, "Will I become the second Shevchenko?"

Who knows? No one can answer this question

Transfers represent adventure. No one knows what will happen after the transfer. They can only try to avoid it.

"There is another team, I think you can also consider it, Tottenham Hotspur from North London."

As soon as Simon Fowler finished speaking, Beckham frowned, "Which team of Ye Qiu?"

"Yes," Simon Fowler nodded, "I got the news that they, like Chelsea, have some contact with Real Madrid. I believe you should be very clear. Now for Real Madrid, the most urgent thing is to renew the contract. If you refuse to renew the contract, you will sell you during the winter break, so they can accept any price now."

"This team's record seems to be very bad," Beckham frowned and shook his head.

"Yes, this team's performance has indeed fluctuated a lot this season. Many media even call it Ye Qiu's Waterloo, but after entering the month, the team's performance has been rising steadily. Currently ranked fifth in the Premier League, only behind the traditional semi-finals, and playing offensive football, which is very popular."

"Ranking fifth" Beckham was chewing on this sentence. He also attached great importance to the team's performance. He would definitely not go to a team that was too poor. For example, he could not accept going to a team that could be relegated anytime and anywhere.

"Of course, no one knows whether they will fall back, because they almost entered the relegation zone a few months ago." Simon Fowler said with a wry smile. No one can guarantee the results, right?

Victoria was listening all the time, and asked in the jam: "What you said is the team that Eliza Moon serves?"

"Yes, Tottenham Hotspur" Simon Fowler nodded.

Victoria laughed after hearing this, "If this team is really the case, you can consider it. Eliza Moon and I are good friends. I can call to find out, or ask Ye Qiu out to talk to everyone."

"Tottenham Hotspur is a team with great potential. It is young and powerful. In the past, there was no attention. The media rarely even reported them. However, after Ye Qiu took over this team, you look at the current newspapers. Even Spanish newspapers report their games every round, and the world pays more and more attention to them."

"And, I heard that they are negotiating and negotiating with the City of London and the Olympic Preparatory Committee to take ownership of the home stadium after the Olympics. In addition, they spent 100 million euros to build a new training base in Hertford, which is an ambitious team."

Some Beckham knew about Tottenham Hotspur’s all this, and some were not aware of it, so he was a little surprised after hearing it. He also felt the future of Tottenham Hotspur from Simon Fowler’s words.

"But what surprised me the most was the operational ability of this team." Simon Fowler shook his head with a wry smile.

"Guess who are their two major sponsors?"

Beckham and Victoria shook their heads after hearing this because they rarely paid attention to the news on this aspect.

"Adidas and Vodafone" Simon Fowler smiled.

"Isn't Adidas going to sponsor Chelsea? Also, isn't Vodafone not sponsoring teams?" Beckham was a little surprised because he knew very well that sometimes such main sponsors not only bring income from sponsorship fees, but also have potential value and influence.

For example, there will be many other sponsors who also sponsor your team because your main sponsor is enough, because for some sponsors, it is an honor and affirmation to put it together with world-class companies like Adidas and Vodafone.

"That's why I said, this is a team with a very future," Simon Fowler smiled.

After hearing this, Beckham thought for a while and nodded, "Then, Simon, you can get in touch with them."

Just as Simon Fowler nodded in agreement, Victoria's cell phone beside Beckham rang, caller ID, Eliza Moon
