Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer truly sent shockwaves through the entire Football World.
Real Madrid fans spread the news far and wide, singing and dancing in celebration as their club signed another superstar.
No one could say that the second-generation Galactic Battleship lacked star power anymore. Lin Feng plus Cristiano Ronaldo was enough to surpass the original Galactic Battleship of Zidane, Beckham, Ronaldo, and the rest!
And unlike the first Galactic Battleship, these two not only had far better charisma and image than Zidane and Ronaldo, but were even stronger on the pitch.
Compared to Zidane, Lin Feng was not only younger but also more complete.
His influence on the pitch far exceeded Zidane's, something proven by both his match statistics and the honors he had led his teams to win.
As for Cristiano Ronaldo, although he was still inferior to Ronaldo at his peak period, The Alien had already been a shadow of his former self after a major injury by the time he arrived at Real Madrid, utterly unable to display his full potential.
Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, already possessed tremendous immediate impact. Moreover, he had yet to reach his ceiling and was still constantly improving.
More importantly, the two of them were far younger than Zidane and Ronaldo.
A signing like this—players with fame and ability, complementary positions, and a combined effect greater than the sum of their parts—was simply incomparable to the first Galactic Battleship's haphazard shopping spree just to pile up Star Players!
Calderón, the Real Madrid president who had personally orchestrated this transfer, was immensely pleased. Florentino had once boosted his support among the fans and won the presidential election by promising to bring in marquee Star Players.
Naturally, he could do the same—and even take someone else's path, leaving them nowhere to go.
