Vol 2 Chapter 153: When signing is in progress


The reinforcement of the striker position is only one of the components of Magath’s improvement, but it is his most important position. Since the Kuranyi state has fluctuated, the striker position has been supported by Jiang Hao, but Magath is not It may put all hopes on the newcomers who have only a half of the season's experience, so looking for guns is a top priority.
   In these two seasons, Schalke performed brilliantly and set the wind for nature, which also brought great difficulty to Helt's work.
   For example, it is no secret that Kuranyi's state is declining. Almost all Europe knows that Schalke 04 will definitely make great efforts to introduce forwards, so Huntelaar agent Osterville has the courage to ask for the price.
Of course, Helt knows that the other party is knocking off. Schalke will not be willing to pay such a sum of money even if the striker is in desperate need. He will give a Huntelaar whose state is not guaranteed-so far in the Serie A and Italian Cup He has only played eight times in the third-line match against the Champions League and scored two goals. This data is tied to the name of his Dutch international. It is really difficult to be convincing.
However, Huntelaar's excellent finishing ability in front of the door really made Schalke tempted. Heilt found the club chairman Clemens to discuss. Clemens took a little consideration and expressed his position: "Wait until the end of the season. Well, it will be more beneficial to us at that time. The pressure of those giants is not a little bit. If they can't win the championship, I think they will come down from their side, Horst."
   Hale's characteristic head, now it seems that this is the best way. AC Milan want to win the championship, it is difficult, look at the Serie A standings to know. They have been thrown away by a six-point gap from their rival rival Inter Milan, and they want to win the Champions League. With Leonardo’s coaching ability, it’s not an exaggeration to say that the dream is ridiculous. Once the championship is not won, don’t say whether Milan’s top management will Changing coaches and cleaning players, Huntelaar will lose patience. After all, if you can't win the championship after joining the giants, the 26-year-old will definitely not want to waste his career meaninglessly on the bench of the giants, so Schalke 04 decided to continue to track this goal.
   But now they have joined the battle for Real Madrid superstar Van Nistelrooy. While Magath led the team to challenge Bremen away, the Bundesliga defending champion broke out and joined the fight for Van Nissan.
   This is tantamount to proving that the purchase of Huntelaar was temporarily unsuccessful, but the views of the parties on the introduction of Fanny are very different. The Spanish media favored Fanny's departure. After all, since last season he suffered a serious injury to his right knee meniscus that led to the reimbursement of the season, his position has gradually been replaced by Higuain and Benzema. This season has only played once on behalf of Real Madrid, in a club like Real Madrid. , The loss of position represents the end of the rich career. In the eyes of the Spanish media, joining Schalke 04 is not an insult to the king of the small penalty area.
   But the Gelsenkirchen media seriously questioned Magath's choice.
In the above, the editor-in-chief Basil Ackerman wrote a point on the matter: "Before Schalke 04 aimed at Krass Jan Huntelaar, I would say that this is a good deal, Heng Traal is only 26 years old this year. He couldn't play in Milan. It was just because of the distrust of the head coach. At least there was no problem with his health. Schalke can help him find the goal. This is A win-win choice, but the introduction of Fanny, I am afraid that as long as true Schalke fans will question whether this choice is correct, Fanny has a glorious past, but he is about to turn 34 years old, and has just experienced in the past season Injuries, not to mention the peak state, even a stable goal state is difficult to guarantee. Schalke is to defend the league champion, to have a great team in the Champions League, but it is not a waste recycling station, at least for now. , This option is really not a good choice, I hope Magath will not regret it."
   As Gelsenkirchen's largest circulation newspaper, its views are very instructive in this city, so most fans are looking at the decline of Fanny's joining. But in fact, regardless of his performance after coming, Schalke faces two difficulties to persuade this once-superior restricted zone killer to join.
   first stands out from the fierce competitors. Although Fanny lost his position in Real Madrid, but his experience and ability, many teams interested in him in the five major leagues. Atletico, Hamburg, Naples, Palermo all expressed enough interest, and even local Middle Eastern tyrants waved banknotes, hoping to attract the gradually late Fanny to the gold rush in West Asia.
   Perhaps compared with these opponents, Schalke 04's advantage is that they are still the top five league championship teams. At least in the last one or two seasons, this small king can continue to be active in the mainstream European vision.
   But the second problem, the salary problem of Fanny is difficult to solve. Real Madrid President Florentino has previously spoken out. In order to express gratitude to the Dutch superstar, as long as there is enough sincerity to take Fanny away, Real Madrid will not make any money on the transfer fee. Although it saved Schalke a lot of expenses and seemed to reduce the difficulty, but Fanny's personal salary treatment was a headache for Helt.
When Fanny joined Real Madrid from Manchester United, his annual salary was 6.8 million euros. Now he is definitely not worth the price. Helt hopes that the team will clearly use Sunday as the core and strive to cut Fanny's salary to 5 million. Below the euro, it is lower than the current annual salary of Zhou Tiancheng, but its broker firmly said that it cannot be accepted.
  The annual salary represents not only the income, but also the position within the team. At this point, Fannie’s agent Roger Lindsey knew nothing about it. Ferguson’s determination to sell Fannie cheaply to Real Madrid must not occur for the second time. Even if Fannie’s condition is not as good as before, Linsey feels that Fannie If you want to "deign" from Real Madrid to Schalke, you must have the highest salary in the team, which is higher than the captain Westman and Zhou Tiancheng.
   "Mr. Helt, do you think that Luther's resume is not as good as a European golden boy who has not won the Champions League?"
  Linser was killed because of this attitude, and Schalke's negotiations on Fanny's side were blocked again.
   Fortunately, the club is acting fast in this window. According to the signing list submitted by Magath, all the first candidates are in contact at the same time.
According to Magath's vision, what the team needs to enrich is the strength of the backup lineup. At the same time, the individual positions in the main lineup, such as the serious left-back position must be strengthened, including the strongest overall midfield, Magath still I think there is room for improvement. The introduction of Holtby was originally to strengthen the defense, but in the past half season, his overall performance is difficult to satisfy Magath, and the ability to resist pressure under high pressure is too weak. Therefore, in Magat's signing list, the players in the midfield position are still the most. He has been working hard to make his team less dependent on Zhou Tiancheng.
   In addition, Magath believes that the team also needs to strengthen the side configuration. Currently, the only players who can calmly deal with the Bundesliga and Champions League strength are Asamoah, Farfan and Altentop.
   And this time, Magath put the goal of side reinforcements in the far east. Zhou Tiancheng's national teammate, Super League Tianjin Teda Club's wingman Ma Haojunmin is his first choice for recruiting on the wing.
   When this news broke, let’s not talk about the German media, not even Chinese fans themselves. The first reaction: fake, right?
  Joke, if it's true, doesn't it mean that the top five teams in the league have three Chinese players? Some fans cannot believe it first.
   Of course, many fans hope that this is true emotionally, but they also rationally say that even if the flowers and water are intentional, this deal will not succeed. Although Hao Junmin's contract with the club is about to expire, theoretically he will be a free body immediately, but TEDA will definitely throw a contract to bind him immediately. The core players in the strong team, this is "traditional" in Chinese football. At that time, South American powerhouse Penalur came to China to play in a friendly match and fell in love with Hao Haidong. As a result, the Bayi team directly tore up the invitation letter sent by the opponent. Fancy China's first striker at its peak, it's ridiculous that Wanda actually priced at 10 million pounds... If there is no subsequent transfer of 1 pound, it will not be so ironic.
  To tell the truth, Chinese fans really dare not expect more local Chinese players to go out. This is not a matter of strength.
  Rather than just the Chinese media, the German media responded more.
   Newspaper, the football editor-in-chief Basil Ackerman was called directly to the office to assign tasks.
   "Basil, you have to work hard to go out and go to Bremen."
   Ackerman froze for a moment: "The team is now in Bremen. Why, Sim, what's going on?"
  Shim opened a webpage in front of him and asked him to come over and read while saying: "The news from the Chinese media may be that another player from the Chinese club will come to the team."
   "It's impossible, Sim, don't joke. We are not relegation teams, not everyone can come in."
   "This is not easy to say, but whether it is true or not, is it always a concern? Is it the Bundesliga team with three Chinese players, we must be the first."
"This first is not a good thing...well, Sim, I will start immediately." Basil Ackerman whispered: "The best is not true. If this continues, Schalke will soon become the Chinese national team. Now."
At the pre-match press conference with Bremen, Magath heard more questions about signing than in the next game. He could only force everyone's attention back to this game:" Regarding the team’s recruitment, it’s the club’s job. The decision is not mine. The only thing I can decide is to win this game. I have no questions about it. I refuse to answer. You are looking for the wrong person."
   Basil Ackerman, who came with curiosity and enthusiasm, was as disappointed as many of his colleagues and felt like he ran in vain.
  ……
   This game against Bremen, everyone originally predicted that there is no suspense-Schalke, who is missing from the core, has a lot of fierceness. Bremen, ranked third, is likely to report a sworn revenge in the German Super Cup at the beginning of the season.
   But Schalke once again slapped to see the people who were down. In the first half, Magath discharged a 4-5-1 formation, relying on Jiang Hao's speed in the frontcourt to fight back, withstood Bremen's offensive, and decisively changed the familiar 4-3-3 in the second half. Asamo A five-minute opening cut from the left to create a penalty for the team, Rakitic took the penalty kick to help the team lead, then Bremen began a big pressure to counterattack, but in the 70th minute Rakitic's direct The free kick broke the score into 2:0 and completely killed the suspense.
For Magath, the greatest significance of this result is to win a "six-point battle". He knows that the outside world accuses Schalke of the rise of the past two seasons because of Zhou Tiancheng's winning, and he does not care about this. Will a victory take off the hat of "Chou's Dependence Disorder" in front of the media, or in his view, this is not wrong at all.
   There is a leader strong enough in all respects, why not rely on him? Barcelona are still dependent on Harvey. If Italy lacks Cannavaro and Pirlo in 2006, can they still win the World Cup?
   After all, Schalke's results are not convincing enough, the Bundesliga champions are still not enough. Have to fight for a breakthrough in the Champions League.
  Magath thought of the scene where the players shouted champions in the midfield lounge. At this moment, he felt a strong resonance in his heart.
  ……
From Bremen, he rushed back to Gelsenkirchen by train. On the way to UU reading www.uukanshu.com, Magath received a call from Heilt. The first voice over the phone was a high voice: "Good news, Felix , You have fought for the target of recruitment, we got one."
   "Who is it?" Magath also came interested.
   "Alexander Baum John! The players from our youth camp are finally coming back, haha!"
   Magath was a bit surprised. He didn't expect that the first one would be him. Baum John is now a Bayern player. He was so relaxed and gave it to his opponent.
But it is indeed true. Baum John moved from Monchengladbach to the giants in the summer. Like many players who landed in the giants from small clubs, they hope to have a bright future on the high platform, but the reality is the same as most people. He only got three appearances in half a season. He has his own offensive characteristics, but he has no advantage in all aspects of competition with Van Bommel and Schweinsteiger, and he has never been able to reuse Van Gaal. He felt that he was still young, only 22 years old, and it was time to re-plan his future. It was at this time that Schalke approached him, and it was a good choice to return to his old club to fight for the championship. The two sides quickly hit it off. Bayern is not too difficult to be a soy sauce player.
   The two sides have already drafted an agreement, and only need to wait another month, the Bundesliga New Year Winter Window is officially opened and the formalities for transfer will be officially announced to the official.
  After the basic dust was settled, Helt finally relaxed.
   originally thought that the outdated star was easy to start, but the result is that the player he trained is better to talk about.
  Everything is difficult at the beginning, Schalke's Winter Window first sign, this head can't be opened easily.
