A decisive Meeting! What will the future bring?
A meeting to keep a Clubs legend at the Camp Nou and try to convince a Man to keep playing with his friends he knows for decades!
Puyol: Hi Victor, have a seat!
Valdes: Hi Capi.
I really need to tell it as it is.
You can't leave, we really need you and you're an important piece of my plans here and you can grow the legend you're already are, in this club.
I really appreciate your effort and your lovely words. I have to admit it is a tough decision i made, because i love this club so much, but i want a change. If fallen into a rut and it's really hard to motivate me since a month or two.
I can't pretend that i'm happy with your words, but i have to give everything to keep you at the club.
Zubi is your role model footballwise and he became that legend for staying at the club and you could achive a much higher reputation as he has.
Thanks for believing in me, but as i said i made this tough decision in order to keep myself motivated to continue my career, because i guess if i would stay here i wouldn't be able to play for more than a year or two!
Also my family wants to see some new places and we really need a little more privacy and that also wouldn't be possible here with those emotional cules.
Barcelona will always be my club, Barcelona will always be my home, but sometimes you have to leave your home in order to grow as a man.
I respect your actions as a player and familymember. As soon as somethink changes your mind please tell it to me, my door is always open for you! And if you really leave at the end of the season, i just want you to know that you're always welcome home!
Booth hugged and Valdes leaves the room...
Him or me!
Pedro enters Puyols office...
Puyol: Pedro, what can i do for you?
Pedro: It's quite a simple Question. After all the actions between HIM (Tello), my Girl and me i can't continue like this and pretend that nothing had happen! If he doesn't leave the club, than i have to!
So did he asked to be transfered or do you plan to sell HIM?
Pedro, we still have a month time until the transfer window opens in January. I have other things to worrie about as we are some way behind Real. We need to catch up a little 'til the end of the year.
I know the both of you have personal issues and i really will try to help you solve them, but i don't think it's a class of act to put a gun on my chest and tell me that i have to decide between the two of you.
I know that it is a weird situation, but the personal issues affect our working relationship.
So do you want me to transfer list you? Do you want to leave the club?
Actually i would say yes, if he stays!
Well it's a shame to hear that, you are one of
La Masias own talents, who achieved that much here at the club and it would be a shame to lose you!
So i will put you on the transfer list, but we won't sell you for the sake of it. If an acceptable offer is in, i will see you and we have another talk about your situation! I want you to feel welcomed here and that you know we don't want to lose you!
I can deal with that, thanks for granting my wish and this won't surely be our last talk about it, thanks Coach!
That's the least i can do for you!
Pedro leaves the office...
