In the next two days, the news that Lu Wenbin might transfer away from Real Madrid even overshadowed the news that Real Madrid defended the Champions League, defended the treble, and won six championships in the season.
Perhaps it is because other media feel that promoting those championships is just praising Real Madrid, and they feel unhappy about it.
Therefore, publicizing the news that Real Madrid's flagship Lu Wenbin is about to leave and other teams have the opportunity to dethrone Real Madrid can not only satisfy the gossip desires of non-Real Madrid fans, but also does not need to raise Real Madrid's reputation.
Promoting Real Madrid too much will be detrimental to other teams.
When other clubs on the European continent heard Lu Wenbin personally express his desire to transfer away in an interview, they went crazy.
Clubs and fans without financial resources naturally hope that Lu Wenbin will leave Real Madrid as soon as possible, otherwise, with Real Madrid's strength, they will have no chance of winning any championships.
Clubs with financial resources would naturally want to recruit Lu Wenbin to play for them and help them win championships, especially the Champions League, the Treble, the Six Crowns and so on.
The situation this summer is different from that of Inter Milan. Lu Wenbin has only one year left on his contract with Real Madrid, so they don't have to pay a penalty to take Lu Wenbin away.
If the price is a little lower, Real Madrid will have to hold their noses and accept it. Otherwise, in another year, they will not get a penny.
Although the transfer fee is still very high and the salary is certainly high, these are not problems compared to Lu Wenbin's ability and his magic of winning every time he participates in a competition.
Clubs from various leagues, including Barcelona, Manchester United, Liverpool, Juventus, Bayern Munich, etc., have joined the competition for Lu Wenbin.
As long as we can get Lu Wenbin, winning the championship will basically not be a problem.
Especially teams like Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, which have no shortage of money but lack the Champions League and superstars, are eager to recruit Lu Wenbin and wish they could grab him immediately.
Major clubs have been making news to express their appreciation for Lu Wenbin and hope that Lu Wenbin will come to their club to play football.
Fans from various clubs have also expressed their admiration for Lu Wenbin in various ways, hoping to watch Lu Wenbin play in their home stadium.
As a result, Florentino was depressed to find that the news about his team defending the Champions League title and achieving the feat of six championships in the season was not as popular as a seemingly plausible transfer rumor about Lu Wenbin.
Fortunately, the signals he sent out made many Real Madrid fans believe it, thinking that Lu Wenbin was really greedy for a higher annual salary and that was why he did not renew his contract with Real Madrid and wanted to transfer.
The fact that Lu Wenbin’s transfer fee, annual salary and bonus levels increase year by year is consistent with this rumor.
These people have never thought deeply about how many championships and honors Lu Wenbin has brought to the team, how many records he has broken, and how much popularity, attention, commercial income, etc. he has brought to Real Madrid.
Many people only remember that Lu Wenbin’s annual salary was two, three, even five or ten times that of others, which was too high.
Then, some fans started burning Lu Wenbin’s jersey, spitting on him as a money-grubber and telling him to go wherever he wants, because the best club of the century, Real Madrid, doesn’t need him!
Mendes wanted Lu Wenbin to come out and clarify the rumors, but Lu Wenbin thought it was unnecessary.
He didn't like Real Madrid's ruthlessness in the first place, and Florentino's style of doing things was not the type that Lu Wenbin liked.
Lu Wenbin dislikes Real Madrid fans even more, and is particularly disgusted by the kind of fans who boo players when they perform poorly.
At Hoffenheim and Inter Milan, even if the players perform poorly, the fans will only cheer even harder. At most, they will express their protest by not coming to watch the game, but booing their own players on the spot is extremely rare.
Even if there are any, they are extremely rare and sporadic individual behaviors, and they will not collectively boo their own team like Real Madrid did.
Therefore, he felt that it didn't matter. He couldn't say it against his will that he liked Real Madrid, hoped to continue playing for Real Madrid, etc.
Fortunately, those fans who scold Lu Wenbin are only a minority. Most people still understand Lu Wenbin's importance and contributions, and there are still many Real Madrid fans who hope that Lu Wenbin will stay.
Some people even planned to put up banners during the last home game to keep Lu Wenbin.
However, Lu Wenbin's mind was on the wedding, so he didn't care about the last round of the league.
Anyway, the treble and the six crowns were won, and the rewards were received. For the last round of the unimportant league, Lu Wenbin directly asked Mourinho for leave and would not participate.
Mourinho also knew that if Lu Wenbin participated, although some people would support him and want him to stay, there would definitely be people who booed Lu Wenbin.
It’s better not to participate. There is no point in the last round anyway.
Not only Lu Wenbin, but also Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and others will not participate in the last round of the league. Most of the players in Mourinho's roster are substitutes, and there are even several players from the youth team. Let them play in La Liga to feel the atmosphere of the first division.
On June 1, 2013, Children's Day, La Liga held the 38th and final round of the 2012/2013 La Liga season.
All matches started at the same time, with Real Madrid facing Osasuna at the Bernabeu.
However, Real Madrid has already won all the championships they can win, and Osasuna has also successfully avoided relegation in the last round.
The two teams had no ambitions and almost all of their players were substitutes and youth team players.
Many fans thought that the match between two teams with no ambition would not be interesting to watch, but in the end, the game ended with 6 goals, which made many fans enjoy it.
Precisely because of their lack of desire, both sides played in an open manner. It didn't matter whether they lost the ball or won, as long as they were happy.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 4-2 at home and ended the season with 103 points, failing to surpass last season's 104 points to create a new points record.
In the stands of the Bernabeu, there were indeed many people holding banners hoping that Lu Wenbin would continue to stay in Real Madrid, or even retire in Real Madrid.
There were also many people holding banners telling Lu Wenbin to get out and go wherever he wanted, as the Bernabeu no longer welcomes Lu Wenbin.
However, whether it was welcome or unwelcome, in the end it was all in the blind eye. Lu Wenbin didn't even make the roster, nor did he sit in the stands to watch the game.
Although he has not left Madrid yet, Lu Wenbin is already packing his luggage and preparing to go home to get married.
On June 2, the last club dinner before the holiday, Florentino personally asked Lu Wenbin about his willingness to renew his contract, and Lu Wenbin clearly expressed his wish to transfer away.
Of course, if Real Madrid's asking price is too high and no club can afford the transfer fee, he would not mind staying in Real Madrid for another year and leaving for free next year.
Florentino's mouth twitched, and he turned and left without communicating with Lu Wenbin again.
Lu Wenbin’s two-year cooperation with Real Madrid has basically come to an end.
Lu Wenbin doesn't want to stay, and Florentino doesn't want to stay either since he can't renew his contract, so he just wants to make some money from the transfer fee.
If Lu Wenbin really keeps him for another year, he won't get a penny in transfer fees, and the 150 million euros paid to Inter Milan would be a loss.
