Kad igramo sa Čelzijem? Jedva čekam duel Parteya i Žoržinja. Mislim da će to biti u rangu onog Todorović vs van Dijk

"Kada smo čuli da je Manchester United zainteresiran za Freda, nadali smo se da ćemo dobiti oko 20-25 milijuna za njega, jer je imao tako lošu sezonu. Nakon dva dana, dobili smo službenu ponudu od Manchestera od 60 milijuna eura! Kancelarija je eksplodirala od smijeha. Rekao sam svom pomoćniku da pošalje fax nazad i traži 64 milijuna. Sljedeće jutro stigla je nova ponuda - baš koliko smo tražili! Sjećam se da sam tada pomislio: je l' ovaj svijet poludio?! Rekao sam pomoćniku da otvori bocu šampanjca, izgledalo je kao da smo dobili na lutriji!"

- Paulo Fonseca, bivši trener Šahtara

Jel' istina

I ja duel kantea i elnenia

Ronaldo was with his mother, Dolores, and Mendes. They ate with Wenger in the canteen. Ronaldo was given a tour of the training ground. He was introduced to Thierry Henry and various other players. A fee of £8 million had been agreed. Wenger took Ronaldo into his office and told him he could, as requested, wear the No 28 shirt. “It was as close to being done, without actually being done, as it possibly could be,” says one Arsenal ****.

And then everything unravelled.

One version of events is that Mendes disappeared to make a telephone call and, when he came back, he informed Wenger he had just been speaking to Ferguson and United were proposing to pay as much as £11 million. But that has never been corroborated.

What is clear is that the U-turn was Mendes-driven. “It was a classic case of an agent leveraging his power,” according to one person with inside knowledge. “It was classic Mendes. With Jorge, you always found yourself in a bidding war, which he promoted and ultimately it was to his benefit.”

Boloni proposed a loan deal with Lyon for striker Tony Vairelles that would include a clause enabling the French club to have the first option on Ronaldo.

“The biggest surprise was what happened with Lyon,” Boloni says. “Sporting, at that time, had no money. My president said to me, ‘Tell them if they give us Vairelles for free, they can have the priority when we sell our young players’.

“Lyon asked me, ‘Who are these young players?’ I told them I had a lot of youngsters but the best ones were Ronaldo and Quaresma. I waited a week, two weeks. Nobody called me. The transfer window was closing, so I called them once more. They told me that he had never heard of these kids, so he could not accept the deal.”

Boloni also met Wenger in the manager’s office. “I was in England visiting Arsenal because I wanted to find another striker,” Boloni says. “My striker had broken his leg, just when we were in a strong position to win the league, and I wanted to find a replacement. I was looking in the Arsenal reserve team. Anyway, Arsene asked me about Ronaldo and I told him the same thing I told Guy Roux.

“I remember he (Wenger) went to his filing cabinet and brought out this huge dossier on Ronaldo. He knew everything about him. He knew Ronaldo perfectly. I was surprised at how much information he had about him.”

“Arsenal were the first,” says Freitas, the former Sporting director. “David Dein (Arsenal’s vice-chairman) made contact with us. But there were also other clubs like Inter Milan, Valencia, Barcelona. All of them got in touch with Sporting, trying to sign the player.

“We had official offers — very good offers — from top officials at all those clubs. Juventus, as well. We negotiated with Juventus, but the deal did not come together. Part of the agreement was that Marcelo Salas would come to Sporting, but Salas did not want to come to Portugal.”

Salas, the Chile international, did give serious consideration to being part of a player-plus-cash exchange, prompting the Turin-based sports daily Tuttosport to run with the headline “Juve: Ronaldo is yours”, but decided instead that he would rather go back to South America. He could not be persuaded to change his mind and a loan move to River Plate was confirmed on July 17, 2003. Or, to put it another way, three weeks before United made their move for Ronaldo.

After dinner, Ferguson and Mendes had a two-hour meeting in the manager’s room and made a gentleman’s agreement. The proposal was a five-year contract including a clause that meant Ronaldo staying at Sporting for a year on loan. Ferguson, as always, was hugely persuasive. He looked Mendes in the eye and told him what he wanted to hear. “We will look after him.”

The following evening has gone down in legend and is probably best encapsulated by John O’Shea, in the words of Ferguson, being “left with a bloody migraine” trying to stop Ronaldo terrorising United’s defence. Ronaldo had found out earlier in the day that a move to Manchester had been agreed. But he chose a good evening to put on a peacock-like spreading of his feathers.

“Cristiano was on fire that night,” Kenyon says. “All that did was excite everyone even more. It showed us what he was. It accelerated everything.”

Ronaldo played so thrillingly that, at half-time, Kenyon’s phone started buzzing. The message from Ferguson was short and sweet, “This boy needs to come back with us.”

Nema sanse da ne postoji neka agenda iza ovog. Cijeli svijet se otvorio, samo vlada ne da stadionima koji su otvoreni prostor.

but socially-distanced audiences have remained able to return to indoor theatres, music and performance venues.
