Li Cardo's contract renewal negotiations have been going on for more than half a season like a tug-of-war, and now it is finally almost finalized.

Thanks to his outstanding performance, he almost brought Real Madrid to the Champions League semi-finals by himself, the club finally made concessions and agreed to the high salary terms and portrait rights terms offered by Farah.

On April 27, Real Madrid, which rotated most of the main players, swept Athletic Bilbao 5:0. Li Cardo scored a hat-trick in the first half and was replaced early.

On the 28th, Real Madrid's official Weibo posts: Li Cardo renewed his contract with the club until 2013.

His annual salary after tax will reach 250,000 euros, surpassing Ronaldo and becoming the team's maximum salary. The signing fee is 4 million euros, appearance fee, goal bonus, Golden Boot Award, Champions League champion and other bonuses have also been increased.

With his goals this season, it should be no surprise that he won the Golden Boot Award. If he can win the Champions League again, it is reasonable to win the Golden Ball Award again.

If all these conditions are met, he will get more than 4 million euros in the next six months.

The most important thing about this new contract is not the annual salary or the bonus, but the fact that he finally got back 70% of his portrait rights.

This can bring him an additional 10 million euros in annual income.

Likado doesn't mind his money.

The last conversation with Olivia gave him a new goal: to buy a high-level club.

When he was young, he could play football for this club and bring a lot of honors. When he got older and retired, he could also coach at the club and continue to have close contact with football.

He never wants to leave football in his life.

As for which club to buy, he hasn't figured out yet. And he doesn't have enough liquidity at hand. If you want to buy a high-level club in the top five European leagues, you have to have at least 100 million or 200 million euros in cash, right?

If you want to buy a wealthy family, you have to increase it several times.

Serie A, Ligue 1, etc. will not consider it. Ligue 1 is too weak, and Serie A will continue to decline in the future, and the revival will be nowhere to be achieved.

If you want to buy, buy a strong team from the Premier League or La Liga, and you must be qualified to compete in the Champions League every year.

The problem is that some of these teams are impossible to sell unless they pay a lot of premiums.

From this perspective, there are not many teams to choose from.

Should I buy Manchester City first? This thought flashed through Li Cardo's mind.

But then I threw it away.

Now is not the right time. Play well for a few years first, and then win a few Champions League trophys.

Honor always has the best. He is always hungry for victory and honor.

On the evening of April 29, at the Bernabeu Stadium, the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals of the 07-08 season will begin.

In the home team's locker room, accompanied by the excited singing of fans, Pellegrini made the final advice and mobilization.

"We are temporarily leading by one goal and have two away goals. Objectively, we have a huge advantage, but that doesn't mean we can advance. You all know that the football field is changing rapidly, and Barcelona is a team that can create miracles."

"So I ask you to forget the score, treat the present as 0:0, take me seriously, and fight every ball as a crucial goal. I want to win a hearty big victory. I hope we can suppress the opponent from beginning to end and not give them any chance!"

"Go forward, Madrid!" After saying that, Pellegrini suddenly followed the rhythm of the fans and sang loudly.

"Go forward, Madrid!" The players looked different, but they also sang.

Pellegrini nodded with satisfaction and waved her big hand: "Go up! Crush them!"

At the same time, the mobilization in the visiting team's locker room reached the last moment.

Rijkald said with emotion: "We have reached the last moment, and now it is on the edge of the cliff. If we cannot look back in time, we will die without a place to bury."

"Do you want to have a season but get nothing? Do you want to watch your mortal enemy take away all our honors? You are all big-name stars, praised by the media, have luxury cars, fragrant cars, and beautiful couples. Football makes you successful, but if you don't value football, you will become nothing!"

"I hope you will be brave after knowing shame! I hope you will meet your opponent in a desperate situation and fight to the end! I hope you can ignore our current disadvantages, devote 100% to it, and fight for every ball with all your heart until the dawn of victory comes! Can you do it?"

Barcelona players replied sparsely: "Can do it!"

Rijkald sighed inwardly. The people's hearts are dispersed, and the team is difficult to lead...

He looked at his players, and his eyes were confused and unconfident...

Entering the competition with such a mentality is probably... there are so many dangers.

But he has done everything he can.

The rest is all for the players.

His eyes swept over Xavi, Etoo and Messi in turn. These are the three most indispensable players in his mind.

His eyes remained on Messi's tender face, and Rijcard sighed again.

If you give you another three or five years, you may be the best star in the world.

But tonight... can you take on the heavy responsibility of saving the team?

"Let's go, let's win!" Rijkald let out a low growl from the depths of his throat.

Compared with the first leg, Barcelona's starter only changed one player, and Puyol replaced Marcos, who had accumulated yellow cards and suspended the game.

Rijkald is not a lunatic. He did not invest in 4 forwards or 5 forwards from the first minute.

Real Madrid has not changed much from the last round, just as Cannavaro returned to the team to replace Heinze, Van Nistrue started the single forward, and Raul played the right winger. The formation is still 4231.

Barcelona launched an attack from the first minute. What they did not expect was that Real Madrid, which had established a lead, also started the offensive from the first minute, as if they wanted to carry out the offensive football to the end.

Both sides quickly fought for real fire in the midfield and made frequent fouls.

In the 4th minute, Real Madrid got the first chance. After Li Cardon cut inside, he pushed the ball to Raul. Raul took the ball with his left foot and shot the arc, but the shot was too straight and Valdes hugged the football.

Barcelona then used the color, Xavi and Iniesta made a wall-to-wall cooperation, Iniesta took the ball and made a direct pass, Etoo turned around and shot in the penalty area, and was also firmly held by Casillas.

After playing a fast-paced game for 5 or 6 minutes at the beginning, Real Madrid began to consciously close and slow down the pace. They turned their feet in the midfield and backcourt, attracting Barcelona players to grab them, and then passed them straight to the frontcourt.

Pellegrini smiled slightly. Of course I know that you want to play fast-paced games. Because it is fast, you are prone to make mistakes. Once you make more mistakes, you will have a chance to turn the tables.

But will I do what you want?
Chapter completed!
