IT IS TWENTY YEARS SINCE THE GREAT BETRAYL BY LUIS FIGO AND REAL MADRID.

 Barcelona  had brought Luis Figo from the Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon.
 And to be honest  he did very well at Barcelona  , and was loved and had a big fan base at Barcelona I would say.  He was the captain at Barcelona and won the COPA DEL REY  cup as well. He played along with  Rivaldo and Sunny Anderson.
 But then in the year 2000 things changed for Luis Figo and Barcelona .
 There were  elections  that year  and the man standing for the post of the president of Real Madrid was Florentino Peres.  He told Luis Figo to sign  a paper  that said if he  Florentino Pees won the presidents election then  he would have to sign up for Real Madrid., or he would have to pay Florentino Peres  35, thirty five million Euros.
 Now Florentino Peres won the elections and he wanted Luis Figo  to leave Barcelona.
 Now Luis Figo repeatedly  said that he ad no desire to leave Barcelona, e even came for a program along with  Rivaldo and Sunny Anderson , having dyed their hair  in the red and blue colours of the Barcelona jersey.
 As Luis Figo did not have thirty five million Euros , to give Florentino Peres, he was bought by Real Madrid ,who paid Barcelona 36, thirty six million pounds, it was a world record then.
 Luis Figo won the champion league and La Liga at Real Madrid, he also won the Balloon d Or .
 But Luis Figo was a hated man by Barcelona he was welcomed  by banner's tat said Judas Figo, lighters, coins beer bottles   were always thrown at him when he took corners and free kicks, he was even told by the Real Madrid to stop taking corners  and free kicks and throws as well. Once even a head of a suckling pig was thrown at Luis Figo, that s now at the Barcelona museum.
 Even today Luis Figo is a hated man by Barcelona and it's fans world over.

THE BRAZILIANS WERE BIG BOOZERS BIGGER FOOTBALLERS AT REAL MADRID.

 These Brazilians are very big boozers , here will take Real Madrid, At that time the Real Madrid  was controlled by  these  two Brazilian  players Ronaldo Nazario amid Roberto Carlos. They  were so powerful they even had power to dictate terms to the President of Real Madrid and the manager as well, the manager at that time was Luxenbrrough , and he made rule at Real Madrid, that would see to it that all wine and beer were withdrawn from the Real Madrid canteen. And you guessed it Roberto Carlos and Ronaldo, put pressure on the president Florentino Peres  to get the manager sacked, and he was sacked  in six months time. Camacho  took over a very strict  person he said  that thee Real Madrid players should come for training at 7.A.M.,both Roberto Carlos  and Ronaldo with their late parties could not agree to this , and Camacho was sacked in 7, seven  days.
 Then Vincent Del Bosquet took over ad it was agreed that that the  two would have to deliver on the pitch and then they could  have their night parties as well.
 During one party at Ronaldo's house a bus  load of girls many were models, joined the Real Madrid team mates , Ivan Helguera and his wife Luis Figo and his wife , took their leave early
 These girls were dunk and  falling all over the ground on the floor.
 As both Roberto Carlos and Ronaldo did deliver on the pitch with many goals.Roberto Carlos played eleven yrears at Real Madrid, and was their free kick specialist..

IN THE YEARS 1990"S AND 2000'S SPENDING THIRTY MILLION POUNDS MEANT YOU GOT A GOOD PLAYER..

If  you look back  to the years 1990'S and the 2000'S , if a club bought a player for say 30, thirty million pounds or for more they usually got very good footballers, of course  there were few who failed to meet expectations, but they were few.
Those that did well are as follows.
1) Kaka,
2) Zinedine Zidane.
3) Ronaldo. Nazario.
4) Christian Vieiri.
5) Pavel Nedved.
6) Luis Figo.
7) David Beckham.
8) Ronaldinho.
 9)Rivaldo.
 And thoose that flopped.
1) Andrei Shevchenko
2) Radamel Falcao Garcia.
3) Juan Sebastian Veron.

NOW REAL MADRID WANT TO BUY GABRIEL MARTENELLI FROM ARSENAL FOR SEVENTY MIILLION POUNDS.

Now the Spanish giants Real Madrid ant to buy the very young Brazilian striker Gabriel Martinelli, from Arsenal for a sum of 70, seventy million pounds. Arsenal signed the young Brazilian striker Gabriel Marinelli , from he second division club in Brazil called Ituano. But in the little chances he got he has scored ten goals The best thing here is that Arsenal got him for only six million pounds, and they have to pay three instalments of 2,two million pounds a year for three years. Now Real Madrid want to buy him as he is a footballer for the future a diamond that just needs polishing very well. As Real Madrid have been upset by the Serbian striker Luka Jovic whom they got from a German club for 62, sixty two million pounds. I doubt if Arsenal will sell the young Brazilian striker , as both the Arsenal strikers Alexander Lacazatte, and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang Like Zinedine Zidane once said who Real Madrid want we will, buy. Like David Beckham, Luis Figo, Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo.

RONALDO IS THE ONLY FOOTBALLER TO PLAY FOR BARCELONA, REAL MADRID, NTER MILAN AND A.C.MILAN.

Now the famous Brazilian world cup winner of two world cups, is the only footballer in the world to play for four Giant football clubs in the world Ronaldo joined Barcelona from P.S.V.Eindhoven in Holland. He then moved to the Italian giants Inter Milan, after he paid Barcelona his full buy out clause, of nineteen million pounds. He then moved to the Spanish giants Real Madrid from Inter Milan. He then moved to A.C.Milan from Real Madrid. But he suffered very serious injuries on a few occasions, and also had a few surgeries on his troublesome knee. But the fans of Ronaldo were never angry with him, the reason being from a Spanish club he went to a Italian club, then transferred himself back to a Spanish club and finally to a Italian club. Ronaldo I. He is the only player ever to win the Pin chichi award he has won it with Barcelona as well as with Real Madrid. Ronaldo did not do what Luis Figo and Michael Ladrup did . Both Luis Figo and Michael Ladrup were hated by the Barcelona fans, and a pig head was thrown at Luis Figo, and Michael Ladrup was called Judas Ladrup.

ACCORDING TO TH SPANISH PRESS EDEN HAZARD IS THE SECOND SLOWEST GALATICOS AT REAL MADRID.

The Spanish paper MARCA, has come out very strongly on the Belgian play maker Eden Hazard, after all Eden Hazard joined Real Madrid from Chelsea, for a very huge sum of 150, one hundred and fifty million pounds, which is a lot of money anyway and Real Madrid and their BOO fans want Eden Hazard to score goals soon and provide a few assists as well. Now Eden Hazard has failed to either score a goal or a assist as well in four games. Michael Owen took six games to score a goal and provide a assist as well. We know what really happens when footballers go and join clubs for this huge sum of money, it becomes a millstone round their necks, we saw it with Fernando Torres at Chelsea. But the other Galaticos like Ronaldo, Luis Figo, David Beckham, Kaka and Zinedine Zidane all had a flying start at Real Madrid.

THIS IS WHY FLORENTINO PERES PULLED THE PLUG ON THE GARETH BAE DEAL TO JIANGSU SUING.

Florentino Peres pulled the plug from he deal to sell Gareth Bale to the Chinese club Jiangsu Suing , it was reported in THE MEDIA, that Gareth Bale would be getting a weekly salary of one million pounds, he would be the first footballer ever to get one million pounds a week as a weekly salary. Put the plug was removed from the sale deal because the Real Madrid president Florentino Peres, really felt that Real Madrid ad not improved one bit since Zinedine Zidane re-joined with Real Madrid. Real Madrid had a horrible tour of Canada and the U.S.A , losing to both Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid , the Atletico Madrid score line was a humiliating one , it finished 7-3. loss for Real Madrid. Florentino Peres is very much aware that with Cristiano Ronaldo gone ad Gareth Bale , going out ,the goals and these wins will all dry up. Real Madrid re famous to get rid of a footballer if his time was over and they do not spare any one. Raul, Roberto Carlos, Luis Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, are classic cases of players who served the club well ,but were not allowed to end their career with Real Madrid. Real Madrid said that Gareth Bale was far to valuable a player to be sold on a free transfer. But the truth is even if Real Madrid had sold Gareth Bale on a free move, they would still make 60, sixty million pounds from the weekly wages of Gareth Bale.

FLORENTINO PERES AND ZINEDINE ZIDANE ARE AT WAR OVER NEYMAR?

The president of the Spanish giants Real Madrid, Florentino Peres , is not seeing eyeball to eyeball with his manager Zinedine Zidane. And the cause for the different opinion here is Neymar. Florentino Peres is always known to bring a poster boy to the club, and over the years several of the poster boys had joined Real Madrid, like Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Figo, James Rodriguez. While Zinedine Zidane says that he wants to sign up Paul Pogba, Florentino Peres wants Neymar, who will bring more money to the club. So let us see who will win this war between the two.

CRISTIANO RONALDO SAYS HE WAS USED TO MAKE MONEY FOR REAL MADRID ONLY..

Cristiano Ronaldo has now come out and said that all did not go smoothly during his time at the Spanish giants Real Madrid. Since he joined Real Madrid from Manchester United for a then world record fee of 80, eighty million pounds in the year 2009 . The first four years at Real Madrid were good years for Cristiano Ronaldo, and then things went bad in a sense Real Madrid and their president Florentino Peres started using Cristiano Ronaldo as a poster boy to generate more money for the club, and their relations started taking a very big hit.. But one thing is very well known here that Florentino Peres is very fond of buying footballers who are poster boys, footballers like David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, James Rodrigues, Luis Figo are mainly brought as Real Madrid can then sell the jerseys of these famous footballers and make up the money spent on these player when buying them.

THE REASON WHY ANTONIO CONTE WILL NOT BE THE MANAGER OF REAL MADRID..

Now the Italian footballer and manager Antonio Conte who was he manager of Juventus as well as Chelsea, and he has won quite a few trophies during his time at these clubs. And he was one of the managers short listed by Real Madrid, for the managers job but now it looks very unlikely that he will get the job. So what was the reason for Real Madrid rejecting him? Now Real Madrid say Antonio Conte made a few demands that was not acceptable to Florentino Peres ad Real Madrid. Antonio Conte wanted a three year deal with Real Madrid, they said it was to long a period. But when you are at a new club, it will take time to know the players and time for players to know him in return. And it is also reported that Antonio Conte wanted a freer hand in buying and selling players, and Florentino Peres had no desire to surrender his power of buying his players only. Florentino Peres is very fond of buying poster boys for Real Madrid , like Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Figo, David Beckham, James Rodriguez. The reason he wants to buy these poster boys is to sell large number of their Real Madrid jerseys and so make up the money spent on them

WILL NEYMAR EVER COME BACK TO JOIN BARCELONA AGAIN?

The very big question in the MEDIA I will the Brazilian greedy spoilt brat from the streets of Brazil, really be joining up with the famous Barcelona team again? hONESTLY THE Barcelona fans will never forgive Neymar the way he got the lawyer and paid the buy out clause of 198, one hundred and ninety eight million pounds. The president of Barcelona is not at all keen to sign Neymar , after all he has filed a case against Barcelona for not paying him his 23, twenty three million pounds as a bonus, and the case will come for hearing in January 2019. Actually the bonus was held back by Barcelona as Neymar was a P.S.G player and not a Barcelona player. Now Neymar gets a yearly final salary after all add on's, come to 40, forty million pounds, something Barcelona can hardly afford to pay, as according to the Barcelona byelaws say that Barcelona can only pay 70, seventy percent of their earnings as salaries. So there is no need to sell either of Ousmane Dembele as players and cash deal for Neymar. He can very well go to Real Madrid and fill the big shoes of Cristiano Ronaldo. Barcelona does not need a traitor like Luis Figo , who had a pigs head thrown at him when he went to take a corner in the EL CLASSICO.

REAL MADRID SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT KEEN TO BUY EITHER NEYMAR OR KYLIAN MBAPPE.

The Spanish giants Real Madrid have now come forward to say that they are not at all interested in buying either the Brazilian striker Neymar or for the matter the French footballer Kylian Mbappe. But we have heard these big denials by this big football club before, have we not. And we have seen them buy or grab Barcelona footballers like. 1) Michael Ladraup. 2) Luis Figo. Ronaldo. Lima. I do agree that both Neymar and Kylian Mbappe will not come cheap after all. A report said each of them would cost Real Madrid a very huge sum of 240, two hundred and forty million pounds, so quite a few players will have to be sold.

REAL MADRID TO SELL LUKA MODRIC AND DANI CEBALLOS TO BUY SERGI ROBERTS.

According to the DAILY MAIL, the president of Real Madrid, Mr Florentino Peres, has decided to sell the Croatian midfielder Luka Modric , who is already 32, thirty two years. and he also wants to sell the young midfielder Dani Ceballos as well, so that he can go and buy the midfielder from Barcelona Serge Roberto. Now the big question asked here is, will Barcelona ever sell a youth Academy graduate to their arch rival Real Madrid? We know when the last Barcelona footballer moved from Catalonia club to Real Madrid was Luis Figo. And Luis Figo could not take free kicks and corners freely against Barcelona as lighters, bottles and even a full pig head was thrown onto the pitch at Luis Figo.

HE IS THE ONLY FOOTBALLER TO PLAY FOR FOUR GIANT CLUBS.

The Brazilian footballer Ronaldo Lima is the only footballer in the world to play for four footballs giant clubs in the world. Ronaldo who is a two time world cup winner with Brazil , in the year 1994 and 2002. Now Ronaldo Lima is the only footballer ever to play for four giant football clubs in Europe. He has played for both the Spanish giants F.C.Barcelona and Real Madrid. He has also played for the two Italian giants A.C.Milan and Inter Milan, the two SAN SIRO clubs as well. The only other footballer to near this record is Luis Figo, of Portugal. Now Luis Figo has played for F.C.Barcelona, Real Madrid and also Inter Milan, in his career but he has never played for A.C.Milan here.

ALEXIS SANCHEZ COULD BE SOLD TO REAL MADRID IN JANUARY.

According to THE SUN, it is reported in Spain that Real Madrid are keen to sign up the Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez in the January transfer window. The president of Real Madrid Florentino Perez , is looking for a new number nine, after all Kareem Benzema will be almost 30, thirty next year. And he just loves to buy Poster boys for the club like Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Figo, James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale. These players sell their jerseys in large number, and their fans keep buying these jerseys, so the club can generate funds. But this idea of buying Alexis San Real chez has not gone very well with the Real Madrid main team, and Sergio Ramos do not want him at Real Madrid. After all he played for Barcelona , Real Madrid's arch rival. The second reason is that the Real Madrid players are scared that the club would sell Kareem Benzema.

FOOTBALLERS TO JOIN A CLUB VERY CHEAPLY BUT TO BE SOLD FOR A MASSIVE PROFIT.

Now over the years clubs have brought and sold players for big money after getting them cheap. And here the price looks more than what they were sold for , because the final figure has add ons included to the final figure. And it is all in Pounds only and not Euros. 1) John Stones got from Burnley for 3.15 by Everton sold to Manchester City for 50.4 million pounds a profit of 46.89. million pounds. 2) Anthony Martial. signed for 4.5 Million pounds Sold to Manchester United for 54, Million Pounds.

HISTORY DOES NOT FAVOUR COSTLIEST PLAYERS TO WIN THE TITLE IN THE FIRST YEAR.

Now that Neymar has become the worlds costliest footballer ever with a price tag of 220,two hundred and twenty million Euros. But the big question I ask is will P.S.G win the title in France in the year 2017/2018? And sadly history says they, the costliest players have never won the title in any club in Europe in the first year., they won it later. Here we are talking of footballers who produced yearly, and were not a one season wonder. The list is very interesting. 1) Alan shearer. 2) Luis Figo. 3) Hernen Crespo. 4) Cristian Veiri . 5) Cristiano Ronaldo. 6) Kaka. 7) Zine dine Zidane. 8) Denilson. 9)Paul Pogba. 10) Ronaldo.

NEYMAR IS NOT THE LAST STAR TO LEAVE BARCELONA AITHER.

Neymar as now officially left Barcelona for P.S.G. in France. For a new world record of 220, two hundred and twenty million Euros. Or 198. one hundred and ninety eight million pounds. Mind you they got a million pounds more as the change rate of the pound. But now this is not the first or for the matter the last famous Barcelona player to leave Barcelona. 1} The Brazilian Ronaldo also paid his own buy out clause to Barcelona to move to Inter Milan. 2) Michael Ladruap left Barcelona to join Real Madrid. He was welcomed with banners saying JUDAS LADRAUP. 3) Luis Figo joined Real Madrid from Barcelona. Fans through a pigs head at Luis Figo and the Real Madrid manager then stopped Luis Figo from taking corners. 4) Neymar, costing 198 million pounds what if he has a long injury.

FLORENTINO PEREZ THE PRESIDENT OF REAL MADRID LIKES TO BUY POSTER BOYS.

It is no secret that Mr Florentino Perez loves to sign young dashing looking footballers for the Real Madrid club. And he loves to sign Galaticos as well, roughly once in every two years He says that these footballers have their jerseys sold very fast and in fact they make huge sums by selling the Real Madrid jersey equal to the cost of the players , for example Cristiano Ronaldo and James Rodrigues made more than what Real Madrid spent on buying them. And he usually signs a super star very two years or so, like Luis Figo ,. Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez. So who will be the super star to join Real Madrid this year.
