Vol 2 Chapter 142: Klaus Schrapner

Wang Ai, who was far away in Tubingen, Germany, did not think too much about the possible complicated disputes between the national youth and the national youth. He can be very different from the general reserve players and has many things of his own. After three days of New Year's holiday in 2002, Wang Ai who stayed in the club will continue to go to school while training. In fact, after transferring their student status to Tubingen, the schools of Ozil and Mertesacker have not yet been closed after the winter break began, and most of Tubingen's youth are very young students. Therefore, the entire team does not need to play games, it is basically the same as before the winter break. Until the first weekend of the new year passes and the school has holidays, the team members really start their own winter break.
As the operation of a series of clubs was basically completed with the joint work of several people, the club also began to take vacations. Xu Genbao remembered his football school so he wanted to return to China long ago, when Wang Ai and others packed up their luggage and left. An unexpected guest came to the door.
Klaus Schrapner!
When the smiling German fat man knocked on the door of Wang Ai's house, Xu Genbao rushed up in a short stride, and said in skilled German: "Klaus, how are you?"
Schlapner was obviously confused. In China ten years ago, he could only communicate with Xu Genbao through translation. I did not expect that Xu Genbao's German was so good in only half a year.
Two old friends murmured German enthusiastically and quickly. Wang Ai invited Schlapner into the room, and even Huang Xin gave enough respect to this famous Chinese instructor. !! Even though Schlapner now has no position, it is just a general football industry inside Germany.
How much do Chinese people like Schlapner? People who have not experienced that era are hard to imagine, and it is also incomparable to subsequent foreign teachers. At the time, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which had not yet collapsed, deliberately produced a cross talk with him as the material! Take a hair from Schlappner to the auction! Even if this is a work of art, it can be seen that the Chinese people like him. This was a treatment that Milu did not have. Schlapner's affection for China is also very sincere, which determines a good relationship between the two sides. Even if Schrapner later left the class, thanks to his communication and recommendation, Yang Chen and Xie Hui had the opportunity to land in Germany.
There are many reasons for Schrapner's good relationship with Chinese football.
A big era background is that when Schlaupner arrived in China, it was just after the merger of Germany and Germany. In the process of the merger of Germany and Germany, China, as one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, helped a lot. At that time almost the entire world opposed the merger of Germany and Germany, especially European countries. Faced with protesters from East Germany, Mrs. Thatcher even publicly asked Gorbachev to send troops to suppress it on television: "What about your tanks? What about your army? Don't allow East Germany to mess!" Not to mention this The "God of Freedom and Democracy" protector how shameful he is to take off the cloak of freedom and democracy. The key point is that European and American countries are afraid that after the merger of Germany and Germany, the three virtues will rise. China's attitude is impartial: it does not support or oppose it. As long as the German people support it, we support it. So the Germans, in addition to thanking Gorbachev for those who allow the reunification of the motherland, also have a good impression of China. At least China didn't stop and said two words. So Germans, including Schrapner, at least had a very good impression of China during this period.
At the same time, Schlapner himself is not a particularly brilliant coach in Germany. He just led a Bundesliga team to the first division and has long been the head coach of the Bundesliga and Bundesliga clubs. Therefore, he does not have much proud capital, and he is a good-tempered person. He can tolerate the leaders above the football sports management center, so he has a good relationship with the officials of the Chinese Football Association. At the same time, his coach gave detailed instructions and guidance to the players, and a little bit of detail, so Chinese football players also like him very much. Even Xu Genbao, the assistant coach of the national team at the time, learned a lot from him.
In addition, Schrapner came to China to coach, thanks to the introduction and invitation of Volkswagen investment in China that both China and Germany attached great importance to at the time. This means that Schlapner is not only a football coach, but also a sportsman who has crossed the economic and political fields, even if he did not deliberately leap, so the Football Association's respect for him and those foreign coaches in the future is not the same.
Even the 84 countries have benefited from Schrapner! At the beginning, training and warming up in Germany were all drawn by Schrapner, and Gao Hongbo's study in Germany as a coach was also drawn by Schrapner. It can be said that in the connection between Chinese football and German football after the 1990s, almost everything has a shadow of Schrapner. He is an important link and matchmaker for Chinese football and German football. Development has an irreplaceable role for any foreign teacher, including Milu!
Therefore, Wang Ai respects this fat German old man.
After Xu Genbao and Shrapner's greetings, Schrapner told Wang Ai with the straightforwardness of the Germans: "Dr. Wang, I hope to be your agent."
Wang Ai hesitated. He didn't expect it to be the case. In the previous stage, he entrusted Huang Xin and Leoni to deal with the advertising contract that he had negotiated with him. He intended to formally participate in the field of advertising endorsement after entering the Bundesliga. Today, Schrapner actually came to the door to raise this issue.
After helping Lachen and Xie Hui to Germany, Schrapner was also their agent. Schrapner is almost sixty years old this year. Going back to head coach is a bit of energy, but the old man also needs to have a job and income. Unfortunately, the commercial value of these two Chinese players in Germany is not high, so Schlapner can only get a little commission from their transfer fees, and the advertising endorsement is relatively small. And Yang Chen's advertising endorsement in China, Schrapner is impossible.
Think of it this way, it is only natural that Schlapner came to Wang Ai as a broker. Obviously, the commercial value of Wang Ai is much higher than that of Yang Chen and Xie Hui. One is that Wang Ai is young and has great growth potential. Just 14 years old will be able to lead the team to win the 17-year-old World Cup, the future development is limitless; the second is because Wang Ai is a PhD candidate at the University of Tubingen! Not only China, but also in Germany! This is a fairly solid resource. Especially when the German Football Association is brewing a mandatory requirement that professional players must graduate from college or have a professional skill, this is very in line with the development direction of commercial football. From the perspective of UEFA, UEFA and even World Football have been trying to turn football into a gentleman sport for many years. So, is there a player who is more "gentle" than a doctoral player? It is only because Wang Ai is now in a low league level that he has not been widely noticed. When the youth of Tubingen began to attract attention as the southern league hegemony, the explosion of Wang Ai's news value and economic value is just around the corner !!
Although Schlapner is not well-connected in the business field, he is a senior footballer, so he is very keenly aware that this young Chinese player in the regional league is a treasure with rich resources!
