Chapter 203 Get the long-cherished wish! Further expand the territory of the football empire [Subscribe]
When Uli Henes returned to Munich, Germany with depression, he immediately heard news of four earthquake-magnitude transfers that were enough to shock the world football world.
The Reds Liverpool, who had just been acquired by Saudi tycoon, first signed legendary goalkeeper Buffon from Juventus for a high price of 3,500 pounds, which was about 43.75 million euros.
This shocked the fans all over the world!
Because it has exceeded the transfer fee when Barcelona signed Villa from Valencia, it has become the new bid for this summer.
You should know that the highest record for the transfer fee of goalkeepers in the world football is created by Buffon.
But now, the legendary goalkeeper, who is already 32 years old, has created another shocking transfer.
The second highest transfer fee record is also Buffon!
No one would question Buffon's strength, but is it worth paying such a high transfer fee for a 32-year-old goalkeeper?
The only thing everyone can think of is that Saudi tycoons are obviously not just aimed at competitive factors.
They hope that through this transfer, they will attract the attention of the world, so that everyone can pay attention to Liverpool and Saudi Arabia behind Liverpool.
In addition to Buffon, Liverpool also signed another Italian international, Balotelli.
In this summer's transfer market, Balotelli is definitely the focus of attention for all giant teams.
No one will question the strength and potential of this 20-year-old center. Everyone believes that he will definitely become a world-class center because his talent is so amazing!
Manchester United's Ferguson wants to get him, Chelsea thinks he can replace Drogba, Manchester City's Ancelotti has high hopes for him, and Liverpool's Mancini plays emotional cards even more.
Because it was Mancini who promoted Balotelli during his coaching in Inter Milan.
Manchester City first took action.
Ancelotti gave her the first offer directly £25 million, wanting to sign this future top center.
But Liverpool also quickly followed and bid immediately.
The two sides soared repeatedly, and finally locked the price at £30 million.
It's 37.5 million euros.
Among the two Premier League teams and two Italian head coaches, Balotelli chose to join Liverpool where Mancini is located.
In an interview with Italian media, Balotelli said: "No one knows me better than Mancini. He knows how to stimulate my potential!"
After missing Balotelli, Ancelotti quickly shifted his target.
Manchester City signed Chiellini from Juventus for a transfer fee of £30 million, with Jerome Boateng already signed from Hamburg.
You should know that Chiellini's appraisal price in the German transfer market is only 25 million euros.
But Manchester City spent 37.5 million euros to successfully sign the Italian international.
This is Manchester City's style.
After signing Chiellini, Manchester City currently has four central defenders, Lucio, Chiellini, Lescott and Joel Luca, plus a young Jerome Boaten.
The dilemma of central defender that plagued Ancelotti throughout the season was completely resolved.
After signing Chiellini, in order to make up for the regret of missing Balotelli, Manchester City announced a transfer fee of 24 million pounds, which is converted to 30 million euros, to sign Ibrahimovic from Barcelona.
The Swedish center played for one season at Barcelona and its value was halved!
The Sun revealed that agent Raiola's excellent operational ability completed the transfer.
Manchester City and Barcelona have always been arguing about player transfer fees, and Blue Moon was only willing to give £20 million at the earliest.
It is still a very long way from Barcelona's £30 million.
The main reason is that Ibrahimovic's annual salary.
The Swedes are holding an annual salary of 12 million euros in Barcelona.
However, due to Spain's tax advantages, the Swedish center can get about 9.5 million euros after tax.
It's about £7.5 million.
In the calculation, it is almost 145,000 pounds after tax weekly salary.
But you should know that the current tax rate in the Premier League is 50%.
To get this money, Manchester City needs to give a weekly salary of £300,000, which is all up to Kaka.
Even with Manchester City's wealth and ambition, it is impossible for me to meet Ibrahimovic's requirements.
So, Manchester City then changed its goal and wanted to compete for Balotelli, who had a higher transfer fee but a lower annual salary.
But unexpectedly, Balotelli directly defected to Mancini's Liverpool.
Interestingly, Balotelli's agent is also Raiola.
After Balotelli transferred to Liverpool, Raiola communicated between Manchester City and Barcelona, successfully convinced Barcelona to lower the transfer fee requirements, and also allowed Manchester City to raise the offer appropriately.
Meanwhile, Ibrahimovic lowered his salary requirements.
Who told him to escape from Barcelona now?
The Sun revealed that the final transfer fee for both parties was set at £24 million.
Ibrahimovic's weekly salary at Manchester City is only 200,000 pounds before tax.
When these earthquake-magnitude transfers spread, they immediately sparked crazy discussions among the media and fans around the world.
Everyone was shocked to find that the purchasing power of the Premier League is really too strong!
Especially after Manchester City and Liverpool were successively acquired by two rich teams, they continued to buy stars, which made the entire Premier League star.
...
"The Premier League is so scary now!"
Back at the Bayern headquarters office on Sebena Street, Harax, Heness and Nellinger immediately found Rummenig.
When the three meet, the topic will naturally be the transfer of the Premier League.
"We must propose to UEFA to quickly implement the fiscal fairness bill and strictly control the Premier League. Otherwise, if this continues, all the stars around the world will be bought by the Premier League!"
"At that time, the Premier League will inevitably become another small World Cup!"
As old people who have been in charge of Bayern for many years, Henes and Rummeniger are both very aware of the prosperity of the Serie A World Cup.
At that time, Serie A was the only one!
But it's sad to say.
The Bundesliga in the late 1990s wanted to compete with Serie A.
Therefore, many teams including Bayern and Dortmund all started the money-burning mode at that time.
Behind it is the strong support of leading media companies like Kilch Group.
At that time, European football also set off a wave of listing financing boom, including Manchester United, Ajax, Dortmund and other teams, all of which went public to raise financing around the century.
But who would have thought that after entering the new century, the Kirch Group fell into financial difficulties and even went bankrupt and reorganized.
This completely dragged the Bundesliga into the quagmire of bankruptcy.
At that time, the Bundesliga, including Bayern, all experienced a very serious bankruptcy crisis.
How did Bayern get out of the dilemma?
Bayern started its listing financing in 2001, and its many years of partner Adidas spent 75 million euros to buy 10% of Bayern's shares.
This is why Adidas Chairman Heiner will become a leader of the Bayern Supervisory Board.
Some other supervisory board bosses basically came in at this time.
It is precisely with the listing and financing at the beginning of the century that Bayern not only took the lead in getting out of the bankruptcy crisis, but also completely built the Bundesliga into its own backyard through various means such as borrowing money and signing aid.
Other teams such as Dortmund and Werder Bremen can occasionally threaten Bayern, but they cannot shake Bayern's position as the dominant Bundesliga.
From the perspective of the industry, there has never been so-called peace in European football.
The Bundesliga and Serie A are competing, isn’t La Liga the same?
How did Real Madrid and Barcelona create the two monsters?
How big is their membership model compared to other clubs?
Not to mention anything else, how much policy tilt has the government and banks given to such a public welfare membership club?
The bankruptcy crisis at the beginning of the century led to a slump in the Bundesliga, and coupled with the outbreak of the telephone gate incident, Serie A also fell.
The Premier League took the opportunity to rise strongly and became the number one league in world football today.
La Liga also established its position in the second league through the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Even La Liga is determined to compete with the Premier League.
The strength of the Premier League is not a good thing for other European leagues.
Especially for the Bundesliga.
Look at this year's Premier League, both Serie A and La Liga are gaining a lot.
Valencia's twins, Inter Milan's talented center, Juventus' legendary goalkeeper and main central defender, and the future captain who had previously dug Roma...
These things are all bloody and tears!
If this continues, sooner or later, it will be necessary to reap the Bundesliga.
The most important thing is that the Premier League has done a good job in globalization.
No other league can match it at all.
"The Fiscal Fairness Act can only barely suppress foreign investment."
Rummenigge was also helpless about this, "But you know, let alone the Premier League, UEFA's internal attitude towards foreign capital is also very ambiguous, and there are many people who embrace foreign capital."
In order to introduce foreign capital, La Liga clubs don’t know how many misunderstandings they made.
Chairman Getafe was even tricked to Dubai.
The fact is that everyone now knows that only by introducing foreign capital can we help these clubs in European football get rid of the trap.
There is no stadium in Serie A, so no one cares about it.
Due to the policy restrictions, it is difficult for foreign capital to enter the Bundesliga.
The Premier League, La Liga and Ligue 1 have all taken positive attitudes.
Their clubs are all heavily in debt and barely maintained.
For example, Marseille, who just won the Ligue 1 championship, is the helm of former Adidas CEO Dreyfus.
But the problem is that the old lady not only knows nothing about running a football club, but also has no interest.
I invested a lot of money every year and just won the Ligue 1 championship last season. As a result, I lost a lot of money when I checked the accounts.
As all over Europe knows, she is selling Marseille everywhere.
In addition, few people have heard of Lyon in the past two or three years, right?
Why did Lyon live up to the prestige of the Ligue 1 overlord a few years ago?
Why doesn’t the vampire Olas stop tossing?
Behind the glory, Lyon is also full of debts.
Now, almost all European leagues are like this, except for the Premier League.
So how did the changes in the Premier League come about?
It was from 2003 that Abramovich was the symbol of Abu Dhabi consortium, the current Saudi consortium, and the wealthy people from other countries around the world flocked to the Premier League.
The influx of foreign capital has brought huge purchasing power, greatly alleviating the debts of Premier League teams.
At the same time, foreign capital has also brought influence, allowing the Premier League to be the most determined and effective in globalization.
Now, Premier League teams rely on overseas and local markets, and their lives are the best in all leagues.
Let me ask, will the teams in other leagues be envious?
Rummenigge had no choice but to do this.
Many things are made of games.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. How are you talking in London?" Rumeneg asked with concern.
As soon as he mentioned the London incident, Heness sighed heavily.
I briefly told what happened in London.
Before he returned to Munich, he had just received a call from Dan Asheworth.
The Chinese still don't consider selling Neuer.
"Do they want to kill a lot?" Rumeneg was angry and hated.
"Buffon has sold so high, what do you think?" Heness was very annoyed.
All these foreign investors are doing it.
Isn’t this disrupting the market if you pay such a high transfer fee for a 32-year-old goalkeeper?
This was not what Heness said, it was Ferguson.
"What should I do now?" Rumeneg frowned. He had no choice.
The contract is still there, and people are unwilling to sell and players are unwilling to cooperate, so they have to wait.
After a few years, the contract is about to expire, we will negotiate then.
This is a routine practice.
But the problem is that Bayern can't wait now.
Kahn's successor Rensing has left Bayern.
Now, there are only two goalkeepers in Bayern, the old Butt and the young Craft.
Besides, with the current results of the Beswater Chinese, can you really wait for Neuer?
"Thomas Crotter told me that maybe I could consider adding Thomas Mueller to the transfer negotiations."
As soon as Heness finished speaking, Rumeneg opposite him opened his eyes wide and stared at him, "Are you crazy?"
"I didn't agree, I just retell, retell!" Heness emphasized.
"It's not possible to retell. This is something that will never happen. It's Thomas Mueller!"
Do you know what the name Muller means to Bayern?
Unless this kid is really unbearable to A Dou, Bayern Munich will do all his resources to train him.
"Or, Badstuber..."
"It's impossible for him!" Rumeneg waved his hand, and this was not discussed.
After a pause, Rumeneg glanced at the two colleagues in front of him, "Thomas Muller has decided to renew his contract with the club. Next, we will focus on talking to Ribery and must keep him!"
"What about Tony Cross?"
"Let it go first." Rumenig's face looked bad again.
"Before, I've approached Volk Struth and conveyed our decision to recall Tony Cross, guess what he said?"
Before Heness could ask questions, he took the initiative to speak out.
"He actually told me that if the team really didn't have Tony Cross's position, his players would be willing to continue loaning to Leverkusen, or even transfer!"
"Heinx also called me to ask if it was possible to leave Tony Cross in Leverkusen, but I refused."
When he said this, Rumeneg shook his head, "This kid is an ungrateful wolf and doesn't have much affection for our club."
Hones sighed too.
This is actually quite troublesome.
Nowadays, Bayern Munich has a lot of midfield talents.
Van Gaal has no good answer to how to use Tony Cross, but just said he would observe it again.
"Van Gaal is not very interested in Tony Cross," sighed Honess.
Rumeneg nodded, "But he did a good job in Leverkusen."
"Just this past season, he has no speed on the left side, and he is not even as good as Schweinsteiger in the early days."
The Pig also played as a full-back in the early days and had no speed, but at least it was faster than Tony Cross.
A sudden flash of inspiration in Hones' mind, "Why put him in Neuer's transfer and raise the offer?"
When the club really can't afford to pay more money to operate the transfer, it is a very common way to use players as a starting point.
What's more, will Thomas Crott not say it? Yang Cheng said three names, Thomas Muller, Badstuber and Tony Cross. If you really want to put one in, it will be difficult to guarantee that Yang Cheng will be interested.
"Isn't this possible? Tony Cross may not be willing to go." Nellinger shook his head.
Tony Cross is a famous genius boy in Germany and his performance in Leverkusen is indeed quite good.
The current value is about 12 million euros.
After looking at Nellinger, Heness looked at Rummeniger again, "His contract expires in 2012."
Rummenigge understands the meaning of the old partner.
As usual, we will renew our contract this summer.
The latest cannot exceed this year's Christmas.
By the summer of 2011, Bayern will be in a very passive situation.
If a player cannot sell, he will lose the initiative if he renews his contract.
"Will the Chinese in Bethwater agree?" Rumeneg asked.
"I'll give it a try," said Honess.
Rumeneg nodded without hesitation.
Now, for Bayern Munich, the most important thing is to sign Neuer.
Other things can be put aside for the time being.
Tony Cross?
There are many players like this in Germany!
What's more, he is from East Germany and has no feelings for Bayern.
Every time I see this kid, Rumeneg feels offended.
...
When another offer from Bayern was delivered to Dan Asheworth, the football director almost jumped up in excitement.
Because he saw the long-awaited name in this offer.
Tony Cross!
Yang is indeed a god-predictable thing!
Between Thomas Mueller, Bad Stuber, Neuer and Tony Cross, Bayern chose not to hesitate to sacrifice Tony Cross.
It's not in vain that I made the phone call in front of Thomas Crott before.
When Dan Ashworth thought of this, he was immediately called by Yang Cheng, who was "off" to report the latest situation.
At the same time, please ask for instructions on the next action.
Bayern Munich gave a quotation of 45 million euros plus Tony Cross.
Yang Cheng was also very excited, but he did not reply immediately.
This is his dream midfielder!
As long as Tony Cross comes, the Bayswater Chinese midfielder will be intact!
"Drag him for a day, I'll give him one tomorrow, 50 million to go to Tony Cross!"
After a pause, Yang Cheng laughed, "Bayern won't lose this deal!"
Who is Neuer?
Destined to become a legendary German goalkeeper!
In the current world football world, if Bayern Munich can buy it, it will be burning incense.
As for the Bethwater Chinese, it must be a bit regretful to sell Neuer.
But once Neuer wanted to go back himself.
Secondly, it can be exchanged for Germany's genius midfielder Tony Cross.
Adding a transfer fee of 50 million euros is great!
Besides, if this transfer can be accomplished, Neuer will surpass Buffon and become the goalkeeper with the highest transfer fee in history!
This is also a great benefit for the Chinese in Bayswater.
As for the successor, Yang Cheng has already looked for it.
Gary Worthington and Mike Rigg successively dealt with Belgium, France, Germany and Spain, inspecting many young goalkeepers.
These include Oblak of Slovenia, Courtois of Henk of Belgium, Asenho and De Gea of Atletico Madrid, and Ter Stegen of Borussia Mönchengladbach youth team.
Among the many goalkeepers, Yang Cheng chose Tibo Courtois.
The reason is simple, Courtois has almost everything that is a perfect goalkeeper!
The ideal height of the goalkeeper is usually around 1.9 meters.
For example, Buffon is 1.92 meters tall.
But in fact, there is another very important factor, which is the length of the arm.
Therefore, the goalkeeper's selection of materials, height and arms length are very important.
The reason is actually very simple. The size of the goal is fixed. Under the same conditions, the higher the control range of goalkeepers with a tall and long arms will be.
Short goalkeepers are not without successes, such as Casillas, Atletico Madrid's Asenho, Liverpool's Renner, Barcelona's Valdes, etc. They are all very typical short goalkeepers.
There is also Navas, who will shine in Real Madrid in the future.
But these short goalkeepers rely more on physical conditions such as reaction and bounce to make up for the shortcomings of short arms.
The goalkeeper's position is very special, and he is different from all other positions on the court.
That is, it hardly runs much.
Even if it is a goalkeeper of a top-notch defense team, it is possible that there will be no threatening shots in the whole game.
They need to endure loneliness most of the time in the game, be calm, observe the game and command the defense.
Short people suffer in this regard.
On the one hand, they have insufficient vision, and on the other hand, they rely heavily on physical functions when saving.
Of course, a tall man is not good at everything.
The simplest point is that when they are tall and their arms are long, their bodies are not as flexible as short people, and they often react slowly to some close-range shots.
But everyone knows that goalkeepers are a position with a long peak in their career.
Short goalkeepers will have a shorter peak period than tall goalkeepers.
Many even began to decline sharply before they reached the age of 30. Because human physical functions reach their peak at the age of 26.
When physical functions decline, causing them to no longer perform a great save like they were in their prime, their entire career will fall rapidly.
If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that in European football, those goalkeepers who have long career peaks are basically tall goalkeepers.
Many of them even reach their peak after they are over 30 years old and have accumulated enough experience.
Courtois is 1.99 meters tall, the same as Bethwater Chinese substitute goalkeeper Begovic.
This height is a little bit taller.
But Courtois is strong, has few injuries, and is flexible.
Most importantly, he is very calm, very focused, and has extremely strong psychological qualities.
This is very important.
Just like the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool, the Reds not only lost a Champions League, but also lost the career of a young goalkeeper with great potential.
As for Courtois's goal pass, it was a bit worse for a long pass, and the rest were basically still online.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
What's more, he is still young now, only 18 years old.
If he is bought and handed over to Pedro Harrow for careful training, he may not be as good as Buffon and Neuer in the future, but there will definitely be no problem with being the main goalkeepers of the top giants.
His career is still very long.
After debuting from Henk in 2010, he played an amazing season and joined Chelsea for £9 million. He was immediately loaned to Atletico Madrid and went directly to be the main goalkeeper.
Since then, he has always been the main goalkeeper of top teams and has always maintained a very high level of performance.
It can be said that Courtois is a trusted goalkeeper.
But so far, for Courtois, who only appeared once in the 2008/09 season, the German football transfer market has an appraisal price of only 150,000 euros, but the asking price given by Henk is 1 million euros.
No discount yet.
What's more interesting is that when Mike Rigg visited Belgium, the senior executives of Henk Club were very proactive in recommending their team's number one rookie, Jerry Watson, a Belgian international forward, with an estimated price of 1 million euros.
Henk gave a quote of 3 million euros.
Mike Rigg doesn't like Jerry Watson, but instead falls in love with a 19-year-old substitute midfielder in Henk, Kevin De Bruyne, the German football transfer market's evaluation price is 2 million euros.
Since Yang Cheng gave Mike Rigg certain permissions, he even talked directly to the Henke team about the transfer.
The other party asked for 3 million euros.
...
When the Bayswater Chinese finally gave a reply and were willing to sit down and talk, the Bayern senior executives were ecstatic.
The biggest headache for them is that the Chinese in Bayswater don’t want to talk about it at all.
As long as you are willing to talk, you have to discuss it.
€50 million plus Tony Cross?
promise!
Rummenigge and Heness responded quickly.
Converted to £40 million plus Tony Cross.
It's about £50 million!
This will definitely set a new record for transfer fees for world football goalkeepers!
After receiving the transfer confirmation of both sides, Bayern's football director Nellinger immediately began to prepare and lead the team to London to sit down with Dan Asheworth to negotiate.
The most important thing is in some details and payment methods.
But these differences are not big.
Yang Cheng did not participate in the transfer negotiations, and he did not even return to London, but went directly from northern Europe to the southern coast of the Baltic Sea, the northern German city of Rostock.
Tony Cross, who just returned from the World Cup, returned to his hometown for vacation.
His father has always coached the Rostock youth team, and he was the U17 before. This summer, as the team grew older, he became the head coach of the U19.
Before receiving the call from Yang Cheng, Tony Cross had also learned from his agent Volk Struz that Bayern had put him in the Neuer transfer deal.
This made Tony Cross, who was arrogant, feel very dissatisfied.
He doesn't like to be the mainstay of other people's transfers!
Just at this moment, Yang Cheng and his girlfriend Xia Qing called from Nordic.
The next day, they met in a restaurant in downtown Rostock.
This is not the first time Tony Cross has seen Yang Cheng.
But this is the first time we met in private.
"Does there be a feeling that after chatting online for a few years, I finally saw the true face of Lushan?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
Xia Qing, who was beside her, couldn't help but be amused.
Still chatting online?
Tony Cross was a little shy, but nodded very straightforwardly.
He still looks quite immature now.
But Yang Cheng has always known that he is a very opinionated person.
"Actually, I've always wanted to talk to you for a long time." Tony Cross spoke up.
"Just like today."
After saying that, he laughed first.
If you treat others, Yang Cheng will probably use some means or language skills.
But facing Tony Cross, Yang Cheng felt that it would be better not to hide anything.
This smart kid is not that easy to fool.
"Before the conversation begins, Tony, I have to apologize to you."
"Why?"
Yang Cheng said briefly that he forced Bayern to put Tony Cross into the transfer.
"I'm sorry, I did this without your consent. If you don't think it's appropriate or don't like it, I can call London and ask them to terminate the transfer."
"We, Bethwater Chinese, will discuss the two transactions separately with Bayern and issue a new offer to you."
Tony Cross was obviously surprised.
He didn't expect that Yang Cheng would be so frank and even told himself the inside story of the transfer directly.
This actually made German youth a little overwhelmed.
After sitting in the position and pondering for a long time, Tony Cross shook his head with a wry smile: "My father told me that being a professional player seems to have become a random commodity."
< br>
He accepted what he meant.
"Yang, I want to know, did Bayern really not choose me?" Tony Cross raised his head and looked directly at Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng smiled faintly, "You should have known the answer long ago, don't you?"
Tony Cross had a definite expression.
"From the first day I joined Bayern, I knew that they didn't value me that much."
"No, I felt it even before I went to Bayern."
After Yang Cheng was silent for a while, he said, "Then come to our Bayswater Chinese! My colleagues and players will help you become the best midfielder in the world!" br>
"Here, you will find many teammates who are in tune with you, and you will get the fun of playing football and playing that you can't get in Bayern, Leverkusen, and in all teams."
Tony Cross is not that easy to fool either.
Although this kid is young, he is full of ideas.
Yang Cheng analyzed some of the problems encountered by the Bethwater Chinese last season, and he also mentioned Tony Cross's advantages.
At the same time, he also uses Tony Cross himself.
In the 433 formation, the position on the left side of the midfield.
In Yang Cheng's previous life, Marcelo, Tony Cross and Ronaldo formed the strongest left-wing offensive formation in the world at that time.
And in today's Bethwater Chinese, Marcelo, Tony Cross and Gareth Bale will replicate this offensive phalanx.
Tony Cross's long pass transfer will become one of the most important offensive weapons of the Bethwater Chinese.
When Yang Cheng took out all his long-planned tactical ideas and his design of Tony Cross's role on the court, the 20-year-old German midfielder was shocked.
He really didn't expect that Yang Cheng had prepared so much behind his back.
"You have been secretly plotting against me for a long time, have you?" Tony Cross pointed at Yang Cheng and asked with a smile.
"It's not too long, probably before you reject us Bethwater Chinese and choose Bayern Munich."
Yang Cheng still looked honest.
"I actually saw a lot of your games with Rostock Youth Team, but you just don't know."
Tony Cross was very touched by these words.
That was already 5 years ago.
Yang Cheng silently chased him for 5 years.
Not to mention that he is just a young rookie, even a mature star will probably be moved.
What's more, in the past five years, Yang Cheng has sent him text messages from time to time to show his presence.
At this moment, every bit of it was accumulated, so Tony Cross couldn't even think of refusing.
Especially Yang Cheng ended his vacation early and specially went from Nordic to Rostock. This sincerity really touched Tony Cross.
When he was moved, he couldn't help but feel a little unconfident.
"Yang, what if I don't meet your expectations?" Tony Cross asked nervously.
"That's my problem!"
"Huh?"
"You didn't use it well, it's my problem and it has nothing to do with you!" Yang Cheng said confidently.
Tony Cross was completely conquered now.
He never knew that there was such a relationship between the player and the head coach.
Even Heinx is not as good as Yang Cheng to him.
So, he really couldn't have any thoughts of rejection.
"Okay, Yang, I agree. If you want to add more points to the transfer, you can add more points to the transfer. I am willing to go to London to accept a brand new challenge!"
Yang Cheng just waited for his words, stood up with a smile, reached out and held Tony Cross together.
"I promise you, Tony, many years later, you will be proud of this great decision you made today!"
Tony Cross agrees deeply.
...
When the players did not object, the deal between Bayern Munich and Bethwater Chinese went very smoothly.
The clubs of both sides quickly reached an agreement.
50 million euros plus Tony Cross, Neuer transfers to Bayern Munich.
Subsequently, the Bethwater Chinese negotiated personal treatment with Tony Cross's agent Volk Struth.
Yang Cheng gave a lot of sincerity this time, and the club is willing to offer Tony Cross a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds.
This is twice his annual salary in Bayern Munich.
Tony Cross will also be among the middle class of Bethwater Chinese.
This is undoubtedly an exception for a midfielder who is only 20 years old.
Therefore, Tony Cross was also very satisfied. After negotiating some details, he directly agreed to the professional contract issued by the Beswater Chinese.
A duration of 5 years.
After signing Tony Cross, the Beswater Chinese announced that they had spent 4 million euros from Henke, Belgium, to sign Tibo Courtois and Kevin De Bruyne.
Yang Cheng has never participated in these transfers and negotiations from beginning to end.
Even, except Tony Cross, everyone else basically thinks he is still on vacation in Nordic.
But in fact, after leaving Rostock, Yang Cheng quietly headed south and flew directly to the Mediterranean coastal cities in southern France.
Nice.
This is the fifth largest city in France and is also a world-famous tourist city.
With a population of 400,000, it receives 4 million tourists worldwide every year. It is the largest tourist center in France except Paris.
By the way, all tourists who go to Monaco basically arrive in Nice first.
When Yang Cheng and Xia Qing flew to the Costa çare airport in Nice, the one who came to pick up the plane was not someone else, but Lin Zhongqiu, who had been missing for a long time.
...
"Uncle Lin!"
Yang Cheng walked out of the airport and immediately greeted Lin Zhongqiu when he saw Lin laughing.
Lin Zhongqiu hasn't seen Yang Cheng for a long time, and he is very happy when he sees him.
"Acheng, I haven't seen you for a while. Have you gained weight?"
"Is there any? I'm sure it's not a baby fat?"
Xia Qing and Lin Zhongqiu were both amused and laughed.
Are you thirty years old, and you still have baby fat?
Isn't this a monster?
Lin Zhongqiu came more than a week earlier than Yang Cheng, which is obviously much more familiar than Yang Cheng.
The driver drove the three of them to the hotel.
There were laughter and joy along the way.
The scenery of southern France, especially the coastal cities in the middle of the earthly sea, is indeed very beautiful.
"I decided to buy a suite here and come here to take a vacation from time to time."
Yang Cheng said excitedly.
Lin Zhongqiu nodded constantly.
With Yang Cheng’s current wealth and the backing of the Yang Group, buying a house is not something that can be done casually?
When we arrived at the hotel, the room had already been opened.
Presidential Suite with Invincible Sea View!
"Would it be too luxurious?" Yang Cheng asked Lin Zhongqiu with a smile.
"The boss and Sister Hongying have been reminded."
When he heard that it was told by his father and mother that it was told by him, he would be polite.
Especially when I saw the big bed in the room, I looked at Xia Qing with bad intentions.
I wonder what it feels like to play poker against Invincible Seaview?
Xia Qing felt Yang Cheng's evil thoughts, her pink face turned slightly red, and she walked away on the pretext.
Lin Zhongqiu didn't notice anything unusual.
He is a serious workaholic.
"Acheng, I've got some contact with Nice as you said before."
Yang Cheng also restrained his nature and asked with concern: "How is the situation?"
"Xiaoqing's intelligence is very accurate. They are very short of money now. The hero of the successful relegation last season, Nigerian central defender Apam transferred to Rennes."
"The 23-year-old central defender's transfer market appraisal price is 5 million euros, but they only sold 4 million euros."
"But this money is not enough for them to alleviate their financial difficulties, so we have to continue selling it next."
"The most valuable thing now is the number one scorer Remi, who is currently targeted by many teams including Marseille."
"Goaler David Ospina, left winger Anthony Munier, and youth center Anthony Modest are more capable of selling prices, probably around 3 million to 5 million euros. .”
Ospina was the goalkeeper who later joined Arsenal.
And Remy was the one who later transferred from Queens Park Rangers to Chelsea.
Lin Zhongqiu has been here for a week, and of course it is not just about contact. He and his team have also collected a lot of information.
For example, they visited the court in Nice.
Lin Zhongqiu took a lot of photos of Yang Cheng.
This Rey Municipal Stadium is not owned by Nice, but is an industry of Nice City Government.
The facilities of the court are also very, very simple.
It is said that there are four stands surrounding it, but what about it?
The stands at both ends are very low, and the stands on both sides are single-story.
Except for the chairman's stand, there is not even a ceiling on the other three sides.
Big brother, are there no roof for European professional teams nowadays?
But it wouldn't be surprising if you consider that the stadium was built in 1927.
However, behind the long history is actually the disrepair.
The stadium with a capacity of only 17,415 seats has undergone 4 major renovations in total.
Both 1948 and 1979 have been too long.
But in recent years, both renovated in 1997 and 2004.
It can be seen that the entire stadium is too old.
Lin Zhongqiu and others also visited the training center in Nice, which is located in the suburbs and has very bad facilities.
There is nothing worth mentioning in youth training.
In short, such a club requires hardware but no hardware, and software.
It is said that it is a Ligue 1 team, but it may be relegated at any time.
Relegation was successful last season, but we will start selling people this summer. Can we still relegate in the new season?
"Acheng, to be honest, I really can't see that this club is not only in Nice but also in Ligue 1, but I really don't see any value in the rest." Lin Zhongqiu said frankly.
He came here for a week to inspect, but he really couldn't see it.
Not to mention competing with the Beswater Chinese who was in charge of Yang Cheng, even if they compete with other teams in Ligue 1, Nice is really quite average.
"It's normal, Uncle Lin, it's worthless to show my ability more!"
Yang Cheng said confidently in a joking tone.
"Besides, it's not worth much, it just proves that it's cheap."
"Cheap? It's really cheap."
Lin Zhongqiu thought about it and found it funny, "I talked to their boss Gilbert Strado. The price they voluntarily quoted was only 10 million euros, and I couldn't believe the numbers I heard."< br>
"I even think that I can cut millions more."
Yang Cheng laughed loudly when he heard this.
This is normal.
Because there are no fixed assets.
The stadium is a municipal stadium, the training facilities are relatively poor, the team's performance is not good, and the Ligue 1 has no influence.
In this case, it would be strange to be able to sell at a high price.
Even honest people like Lin Zhongqiu think they can cut again, so they can definitely cut some.
This is exactly why Yang Cheng called the country before and asked Yang Jianguo to arrange personnel.
In his opinion, it is undoubtedly a very suitable opportunity to buy a Ligue 1 team now.
He has considered many teams.
Like Lille in northern France, the price is very expensive.
There is also Marseille in southern France, which just won the league championship. Although the whole world knows to sell, the price is not cheap.
There are also many teams, including some teams in the French League Two, which Yang Cheng and Xia Qing have actually considered them all.
Finally, Nice was chosen.
In addition to being cheap, Nice is also located in France's fifth largest city and is known for its tourism industry.
More importantly, this can help Yang Cheng further expand the territory of the football empire.
The Chinese in Bayswater have now begun to have overcapacity.
In the case of the team introducing Tony Cross, another Kevin De Bruyne has been signed.
Yang Cheng’s plan to expand his football territory must be ahead of schedule.
Moreover, buying Nice now is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity!
