Although not as eye-catching as the World Cup and European Cup, the America's Cup can also be regarded as a heavyweight event in world football. European media have also paid more attention to it, and Adriano and Ricardo have also received great performance due to their outstanding performance. Puppet of many European giants.
For a time, both of them have skyrocketed in value. Real Madrid offered a sky-high price of 70,000 Euros to buy Adriano from Inter. If closed, this will once again set a record of world football transfer fees.
However, Inter Milan rejected the offer and claimed that Adriano was not for sale.
As for Ricardo ... Ricardo with a cancellation fee of only 2ooo USD is directly in the "crowd" state. As long as he can get a 2Ooo USD club in his hand, he doesn't mind trying it out. What if it succeeds? This is a stable and profitable business. Now Ricoto starts at 2ooo USD. As long as Ricardo's status does not decline, there is no obvious regression. After a season, it is easy to change hands and sell 5ooo million or more.
The top of the São Paulo club regretted it. Knowing this, even in the face of Ronaldo's pressure at the beginning, we must insist on doubling Ricardo's breach of contract.
Now it seems that even if Ricardo's breach of contract is 40 million US dollars, there will be more than a dozen European giants waving checks to buy.
The Euro 6 giants who directly activated Ricardo's breach of contract clauses have once again raised their personal treatment offer to Ricardo after the America's Cup ended.
For example, AC Milan has updated the terms to Fara: a 5-year contract, a weekly salary of 55ooo euros, a signature fee of 240o euros, an appearance fee of 42oo euros, and a goal bonus of 47oo euros.
They also launched a "friendship offensive." Kaka repeatedly called Ricardo to persuade him to join.
However, Ricardo has been waiting for news from the other party.
Inter Milan finally raised the offer with great care: a weekly salary of 47ooo euros, a signature fee of 180,000 euros, an appearance fee of 38oo euros, and a goal bonus of 35oo euros.
Compared to ac Milan, the conditions are a lot worse.
Most of the other teams' treatment is lower than AC Milan, but there are higher ones, but Ricardo will not consider them. Half a year ago, Fara had already found a house for him in Milan, and even Stella had already checked in.
Ronaldo called and was apologetic: "Brother, now 'Dad' doesn't matter, the chairman is Mr Faccetti, so I didn't speak before. The team's new coach Mancini believes that in the team There are already several top forwards, and it doesn't make much sense to sign you again, so I didn't particularly enthusiastically promote your transfer. Frankly speaking, I also think that if you go to other teams, such as AC Milan, or Real Madrid Can give you a better show. Maybe going to Barcelona and partnering with Ronaldinho is also good ... "
Ricardo interrupted him. "Dadado, I just ask you, do you want to play with me?"
"Of course I think, brother!" Ronaldo laughed.
"That's OK, I will accept the terms of Inter Milan." Ricardo said firmly.
...
On July 29, four days after the America's Cup ended, Ricardo quietly boarded a plane to Milan, Italy.
A well-informed transfer expert Di Marzio stated in the "Sports of Milan" briefing: Ricardo has negotiated personal treatment with Inter Milan and is about to come to Milan for a medical examination.
Once the news spread, it immediately caused a sensation in the Nellas.
Who is the favorite active star among the Nellas? The answer is Ronaldo.
Since joining in the 97-98 season, Ronaldo has contributed to the siege of Inter Milan and has made great contributions. He has been called the "King of Meazza" by fans of the Meazza North Stand.
Although he is not the captain of Inter Milan, he is an iconic figure in Inter Milan and always gets the highest decibel cheers from Meazza.
And now, his brother will join the Blue and Black Army? The fans naturally want a warm welcome.
So after the newspapers were sold, Milan boys, Milan Milan and other fans organized teams to the airport to welcome the arrival of the "His Royal Highness".
For a time, thousands of fans waving blue-black flags and blue-black scarves gathered at the airport exit. The Milan police were very nervous and urgently deployed additional police forces deployed at the airport to prevent unexpected incidents.
But the scene was actually more orderly. These fan organizations are all battle-hardened and have strong organizational coordination skills. Now this is just a small scene. They think the police are really too trivial.
A cute boy at the age of 7 or 8 with a chestnut curly hair looked up and asked the adults around him: "Dad, who are we to pick up?"
The father replied, "Take Ricardo."
"But, but," the little boy's big eyes rolled round, "but who is Ricardo?"
Someone laughed beside him, "Ricardo, that's His Majesty's brother! Don't you know?"
The little boy's eyes narrowed and he said unexpectedly, "Ah, it's Ronaldo's brother. Then he must be very powerful, right?"
"It should be pretty good, he is the best shooter in the America's Cup that ended a few days ago."
"Have you ever seen him play, uncle?" The boy's innocent eyes flashed.
The "uncle" who seemed only about 2o years old smiled bitterly: "I haven't seen it."
"Where does he play?" The little boy asked curiously.
"It should be," the 2o-year-old uncle hesitated. "It should be a striker. Yeah, a striker."
"Forward ..." The little boy frowned lovelyly, such as Jane, "We have Ronaldo, Adriano, Vieri, Recoba, Martins, Caron, Vento. Pull, there are 7 forwards. Why buy a forward? "
"This ... this ..." The 2o-year-old uncle was sweating anxiously.
Finally, the boy's father laughed and made a clearance for him: "Maybe this Ricardo will be better than the seven forwards."
"Impossible!" Said the little boy firmly. "No one in this world is better than Ronald."
"This Ricardo is not necessarily," the boy's father smiled. "He really had the potential of Ronaldo."
"I don't believe The little boy stubbornly bit his lip," Ronaldo is the best. "
"When the season begins, I will show you to play Ricardo, then use your own eyes to distinguish it," said the boy's father.
...
Ricardo carried his suitcase and sunglasses, bowed his head and hurriedly walked out of the opening. The scene in front of him scared him.
I saw hundreds and thousands of fans wearing blue-black clothes, waving blue-black flags and scarves, holding a temporary slogan: "Welcome, Ricardo!" "Welcome His Royal Highness Prince Meazza! "Ricardo, we love you!"
Ricardo stood quietly for a few seconds, then suddenly opened his mouth and shouted, "forzainter!"
