<h4>Chapter 663: Seven Deadly Sins</h4>
"Now my family is threatened and harassed. These attacks make me very worried. Will continuing as a leader bring harm to my family?"
Inside the gym at Real Madrid''s Valdebebas training base, Ramos read aloud the resignation letter issued by Barcelona''s president Rosell. Major events like this naturally attracted the attention of the onlookers.
"Rosell sure can talk big. We''ve been dominating in the league and Champions League. After winning a few Copa del Rey titles, he dares to im huge sess during his tenure?" remarked the Spanish defender, pursing his lips.
Casis chimed in, "It''s not entirely fair to say that. I think Barcelona has been very strong these past few years. If not for Wang''s explosive performance, they could have snatched several league titles."
Thinking about how their rivals consistently finished as runners-up despite a hundred-point season, and how the Chinese superstar single-handedly challenged Barcelona''s entire frontline, the others nodded in agreement. "Indeed, he''s just too explosive, almost abnormal!"
Wang Feng rolled his eyes impatiently. "Is this how you guys describe your teammates?" With that, he ignored them and continued with his workout.
Other yers engaged in lively discussions about this major event. "Some media outlets say Wang''s killer instincts are shining once again. Whether it''s opposing coaches or managers, no one can escape his clutches, haha."
"Some say the recent revtion of the Neymar transfer saga has be a fatal issue. The Brazilian''s transfer fee wasn''t as low as it appeared, with Barcelona spending over a hundred million euros."
"No wonder he chose the Catn club over us for just a few million euros. Turns out it wasn''t just a few million, but tens of millions! Have we been fooled all this time?"
No one could clearly exin the specifics of the situation, but from the details revealed, it seemed that Neymar, his agent, and third-party holders all profited handsomely, while the only one suffering losses was the Barcelona club. Therefore, this became a significant argument for many to criticize Rosell.
As the saying goes, when the wall copses, everyone pushes. The day after Rosell stepped down, many media outlets listed his crimes, with "Vanguardia" pointing out as many as seven.
Firstly, disrespecting club legends by not epting Cruyff as Barcelona''s honorary president. Thetter returned the medals awarded by the previous administration and rarely spoke up for Barcelona afterward.
Secondly, suspicious Brazilianmercial activities, involving not only transfer dealings but also illicit ticket sales at Camp Nou.
The details of the contract with Qatar were not disclosed to club members, causing widespread dissatisfaction.
Poor managerial appointments, as during his tenure, there were consecutive changes from Guardi to Vnova, Roura, and now Martino, yet none managed to reverse the team''s decline in the league and Champions League.
The Neymar transfer saga was another reason for Rosell''s downfall, as club member Cases demanded detailed disclosure of all transfer details but was refused. He then filed awsuit against Rosell, alleging that he failed to inform the members.
Barcelona also failed to renew contracts with key yers, including departed Valdés and current yers like Xavi who want to leave.
Finally, deceiving Abidal, promising to renew his contract once he recovered from illness, only to follow through with amercial decision not to renew, tarnishing the club''s reputation for dishonesty.
Like Laporta when he stepped down, Rosell left with an infamous reputation, even worse than Laporta''s because thetter had at least brought league titles to Barcelona.
So, he basically had no chance of returning to the limelight. Fortunately, his sessor remained within their faction. It was his assistant Bartomeu, and they hadn''t lost control of the club.
Until 2016, everything was uncertain, but they would do their utmost to prevent Laporta from making aeback. The power struggle within Barcelona was about to unfold, version 3.0.
Different results often lead topletely different fates. Like Barcelona, Real Madrid''s internal situation isplex, far from being a unified front. However, Florentino, relying on the team''s performance, has leaped from an imminent departure to the most prestigious manager, a position that no one can shake.
In addition, his almost absurdly ambitious expansion and renovation n was smoothly passed at the club''s general meeting. Construction around the Bernabeu was underway, and the renovation of the training base had just beenpleted, with new construction already beginning.
Now, Valdebebas is thergest and most luxurious football training base in the world, without exception. All hardware facilities areplete, and the service facilities are no less than a five-star hotel, with plenty of recreational facilities.
After returning from San Sebastián to Madrid, everyone officially began to experience the wonders of the new training base. The first thing that amazed everyone was the dormitory building.
Each yer was assigned a single room, with a living room featuring huge French windows and a spacious balcony. From the window, they could see the brand-new training grounds.
The stairwells and corridors were adorned with numerous photos and introductions to the club''s history and achievements, including current yers like Wang Feng. "We''re happy to update this honor information every year," Bartolomeu said with a smile.
In terms of food and dining, there was no negligence. The newly built club canteen resembled a top-notch restaurant, not only beautiful in environment but also allowing yers to select their dishes ording to their preferences, with a wide variety to choose from.
These meals were developed through consultations between experienced chefs and nutritionists, bncing taste with the yers'' health.
Training grounds, indoor swimming pools, gyms, and physiotherapy rooms were all readily avable. Of course, what interested everyone the most was the gaming space spanning thousands of square meters.
Ramos immediately set his sights on the racing simtion game. "Oh my God, I can finally drive fast cars!" The Spaniard couldn''t resist touching the realistic steering wheel and decided to have a game right away.
Different types of gaming consoles and LCD TVs lined up, with enough room for a dozen people to y at once, along with facilities like table football, billiards, and a small cinema.
"What a dreamy ce. I could stay here and train every day," Varanemented, which was precisely the club''s intention. They hoped to create a ce where yers didn''t want to leave, bncing life and training to improve efficiency.
On February 16th, in the 24th round of La Liga, the Gcticos challenged Getafe away.
This team was also from the Madrid region, so strictly speaking, it was considered a Madrid derby. The yers didn''t have to travel far to y away matches; they just needed to depart from Valdebebas to the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum on match day.
The game was yed on a slippery field in heavy rain. The home team scored first in the 15th minute. Gavilán broke into the right side of the penalty area and passed back after a wall-likebination. Corengal then made a cross, and Sarabia''s powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area found the bottom corner.
It wasn''t until the 34th minute that Real Madrid equalized. Di Maria sent a cross from the wing, and Wang Feng''s header at the near post aimed for the far corner. Getafe goalkeeper Moyá couldn''t reach it, and the ball slipped past his fingertips into the.
Just before halftime, the Chinese superstar orchestrated a quick counterattack after winning the ball in midfield. He passed to Bale, who quickly dribbled to the byline and crossed, and Di Maria, following up, shot fiercely into the near post, putting the Gcticos ahead!
In the second half, Marcelo took advantage of an opportunity to assist Modric for another goal, and the final score settled at 3-1.
