Chapter 473 Chapter 472

When Barcelona returned to Barcelona from Paris, it was once again hailed by Barcelona fans.

This year, the battles greeted by Barcelona fans and the celebrations organized by Barcelona are even bigger than last year.

Su Dong followed the team and followed the entire process after winning the championship last year. He was really exhausted.

Then he participated in the team's celebration banquet, and he became the protagonist of the celebration banquet.

Leading Barcelona to win the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, this season has achieved an unprecedented triple crown in the history of La Liga. Su Dong's influence in Barcelona can be said to have reached its peak and has received unprecedented popularity.

According to Daily Sports Daily and World Sports Daily, Su Dong became the most successful foreign aid in Barcelona's history!

Barcelona Chairman Laporta was also grinning from ear to ear throughout the whole process. He kept dealing with all kinds of people and seemed to be able to do a job with ease, especially when meeting important officials from the Barcelona city government and government officials from the Autonomous Region of Catalonia. He was particularly enthusiastic.

This seems to also confirm the outside world's long-standing speculation about him.

In the bureaucratic systems of Europe and the United States, people with lawyer backgrounds often have an extra advantage in politics.

Laporta is a well-known lawyer in Barcelona and even in Spain. If he chooses the chairman of Barcelona as a springboard to join the ranks of politicians, it is really not surprising at all.

Not to mention anything else, there was an assessment by the Madrid media before that Barcelona's influence in the Catalonia region is amazing, and it can even affect more than [-]% of the votes, which shows the weight of Barcelona.

Quite surprisingly, the former Barcelona vice-chairman Rosell also attended Barcelona's celebration banquet.

This is really shocking.

Ronaldinho and the others went over to say hello to him, and it was obvious that Russell still had a lot of influence in Barcelona.

When Laporta saw Russell again, the two of them did not have the gunpowder smell as imagined. Instead, they appeared to be very harmonious. Laporta did not regard Russell as an outsider, and Russell seemed to be like the vice chairman of Barcelona.

This scene made Su Dong, who was sitting with the players, feel particularly awkward.

……

"Don't the two of them have enmity?" Messi was very surprised.

Everyone in Barcelona knows that these two people are not getting along, but after they met, they showed the kind of tenderness between you and me. Not to mention that Messi couldn't understand, Su Dong also felt very awkward.

"You can think of this as taking the overall situation into consideration, or as being mature." Su Dong laughed.

Anyway, he can't learn this. If he likes it, he likes it, and if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it. He can't fake it.

It was as if he couldn't force himself to be very close to Roselle.

Of course, he and Laporta are not very close, and always keep a little distance.

He's just here to play football.

"Xiaobai, there seems to be no movement in the board of directors recently?" Su Dong asked curiously when he saw the appearance of Laporta and Russell.

Iniesta shook his head, "I don't know, everyone is very strange, logically speaking, if there is really going to be a presidential election, preparations should start now, but there seems to be no news."

"You mean, Laporta took care of them?" Su Dong was surprised.

Unexpectedly, Laporta's ability is really strong.

"It seems to be, but there is also a saying that the two parties made an appointment and did not want to affect the team's game, so they negotiated after the end of the season, but we don't know what happened specifically." Iniesta also felt very puzzled.

Not to mention foreign aid like Su Dong, even some local players, Puyol as the captain, may not be clear about the affairs of the board of directors. After all, the people there are not ordinary, basically they are political and business celebrities from Barcelona and even Catalonia.

However, Su Dong also discovered that in fact, people with real power and power tend to cherish feathers more, and they will not stand up for the Barcelona position.

Most of them are people like Laporta, Russell, and Gaspart. They often come forward with various purposes, but their own strength is somewhat insufficient, so it is necessary to unite some allies with the same purpose as them, and then come out for election together, and then cut the cake after success.

That's why, Gaspart can be the most successful vice-president in Barcelona's history, but also the worst president in Barcelona's history.

Interestingly, Real Madrid came forward to elect the chairman this year. Calderon, a member of the board of directors, is also a lawyer, and his voice is quite high.

However, none of this has anything to do with Su Dong.

……

When Su Dong stayed with his teammates from Barcelona, ​​Russell in the distance was also observing him silently.

"Laporta is now in high spirits, and this season's triple crown is likely to change the situation on the board of directors."

The one who spoke was sitting next to Roselle, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

His name is Josep Maria Bartomeu, a member of the Barcelona board of directors and the head of the basketball department.

In [-], he and Russell were part of Laporta's campaign team, which allowed him to serve as the head of the Barcelona basketball department after Laporta was elected, taking charge of all affairs of the basketball department.

"It's indeed a little troublesome." Roselle said with a frown.

After all, Barcelona is a football club, and results are the most convincing weapon.

In the absence of major problems in other aspects of Laporta, the team won the Triple Crown this season, which can be said to be the greatest affirmation of Laporta. Even if the campaign starts immediately, the possibility of Laporta being re-elected is also very high.

"Do you really want to leave it like this?" Bartomeu asked, "If he is allowed to free up again, it is estimated that all of us will be kicked out by him one by one, and the whole Barcelona will become his alone."

Back then, it was they who fully supported Laporta, which allowed him to defeat other competitors and be elected chairman.

But now, Laporta has secured his position and began to cut off the wings one by one.

There is a saying that he learned the lessons of Gaspart that year.

But everyone knows that it is still for power.

He wants to take all the power of Barcelona into his own hands, and make Barcelona, ​​a giant team, his voice, and even a springboard and bargaining chip for him to enter the political arena.

"Don't worry, Josep, now is not the time."

"When does that have to wait? Until he kicks us all out?"

"Don't worry, he won't move anything else for the time being. Didn't he just say it before? The most important thing for him next is Su Dong's contract renewal. He wants to stabilize Su Dong and consolidate his position as chairman."

Speaking of Su Dong, Bartomeu also looked helpless, "To be honest, although Su Dong has never expressed his opinion, he has been of great help to him. Not to mention anything else, the achievements of the past two years are enough for him to be re-elected."

Russell smiled slightly and nodded, "When you were at the Nou Camp just now, did you find something very interesting?"

"What?" Bartomeu frowned.

"Every player, including coach Rijkaard, would shout after speaking, Long live Catalonia, but only Su Dong, he did not respond."

"Really?" Bartomeu was a little surprised, is there such a thing?

"There is a live broadcast, if you don't believe it, you can check the video."

"But what does it mean?" Bartomeu still didn't understand.

Roselle laughed, there are many things that cannot be explained yet.

It would be interesting if it turned out as he expected.

"Isn't Laporta already negotiating with Su Dong's team to renew his contract?"

"Yeah, I heard it's almost over."

"You find a way to find out and see what's going on."

Bartomeu was still confused, but he always felt that Russell wanted to make a fuss about this matter, so he immediately agreed.

However, he still didn't understand, what's the use of doing this if Laporta is in control of Barcelona?

The top priority now is not to get the approval of the Barcelona board of directors to conduct the chairman election in advance?

…………

…………

After Barcelona's celebration banquet, the team disbanded.

With Barcelona's outstanding performance this season, many players have been selected for the national team, even Messi was selected for the Argentine national team, while Marcos Senna was selected for the Spanish national team.

He is also the first black-skinned player in the history of the Spanish national team.

Everyone left one after another, only Su Dong was left alone.

But he is not idle, because his contract renewal negotiations with Barcelona are almost in progress, and many things require his personal participation. Mendes and Ma Dawei are basically running for him in Barcelona.

Barcelona finally agreed to Mendes' request and offered Su Dong an annual salary of 500 million euros after tax, which will surpass Shevchenko's annual salary of 1000 million euros and once again become the highest annual salary in world football history.

And Su Dong also made some concessions on the bonus terms, changing the original bonus terms based on the number of goals and assists, and instead using staged results as indicators.

Of course, in terms of appearance fees and championship bonuses, Su Dong is still the same as other players.

After several days of negotiations, Barcelona officially announced that they had reached a contract extension agreement with Sudong.

The two parties signed a confidentiality clause, and did not disclose various details to the outside world, but Laporta revealed to the outside world that Su Dong will receive the highest annual salary ever.

Everyone's reaction to this was quite positive, after all, Su Dong's performance was worthy of this contract.

……

Almost at the same time that Su Dong was renewing his contract with Barcelona, ​​Italy revealed the phone call between Juventus general manager Moggi and the referee in early May. From the news that was not noticed by people, more and more inside stories were dug out by the media, and gradually fermented into big news that shocked the world football.

Juventus general manager Moggi announced his withdrawal from football, and the chairman of the Italian Referee Committee Ranese sadly dismissed get out of class.

For a while, the attention of the media and fans all over the world shifted from Barcelona's triple crown and the approach of the World Cup in Germany to Italy, a small World Cup, and paid attention to the Calciopoli incident.

An unprecedented storm is coming!
