(Transmit 09 words first, then pass Chapter 30 2 words around [-]:[-])
The European Cup is still in full swing, but when the media's attention is focused on this four-year football feast, European football agents have become more active, and a pen is usually enough to cause a huge sensation The transfer is slowly brewing.

In the transfer market, the Premier League has always been the wave of the transfer market, while the Bundesliga and Ligue [-] are the most low-key among the five major leagues. It is very lucky not to poach one's own corner.

However, for a team like Hoffenheim that has taken the limelight in Europe, it is impossible to keep a low profile. Almost all of their absolute main players are tempted by the giants from the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A, while Bayern has no The action is only because they are busy signing with the new coach Klinsmann, and the task of signing needs to be finalized by Klinsmann.

Compared with Li Huan's silent and low-key in the pursuit of many giants, Demba Ba is much more high-profile. He declared that he would leave Hoffenheim, and his goal was to go to Arsenal, and Arsenal lacked high center forwards. Wenger a year ago The one who planned to buy Demba Ba was only intercepted by Hoffenheim. Now seeing Demba Ba's brave performance in Hoffenheim, Wenger regretted it very much, so he contacted Demba Ba's agent again. I want to go to a wealthy club, but I am not satisfied with the pre-tax annual salary of 450 million euros offered by Hoffenheim. I think he is the main force of the Triple Crown. Such a salary is not worthy of his ability. At least 650 million euros are needed. OK.

Although Ibisevic and Eduardo did not publicly say that they want to transfer, their contracts have not been renewed, and the media also spread rumors between Bayern and Ibisevic, Eduardo and Liverpool from time to time. The agent is always evasive when referring to the future of the two people, always saying that their first choice must be Hoffenheim, but everything is possible.In fact, they are also dissatisfied with the salary offered by the club.

Even Weiss, the half of the main players, has been chased by Bayern. They hope to get this defensive midfielder who has been favored by the German coach Loew, but Weiss is very self-aware. He has not gained a firm foothold yet, so naturally he dare not bring up a transfer easily. He has repeatedly stated to the media that his future is in Hoffenheim. He will not leave Hoffenheim this season, and now he is only waiting for the club to renew his contract. , Unless Hoffenheim does not intend to renew his contract, he will consider leaving.

In fact, the Hoffenheim Club understands that, except for Demba Ba, the reason why these people are reluctant to sign the contract is to wait and see, to see what the attitude of the team's core Li Huan is, and what Li Huan's contract renewal conditions are.If Hoffenheim can't get Li Huan's contract renewed, it's hard to say that people like Ibisevic, Eduardo, Gustavo, and Dembaba will stay in the end. If they leave at the same time, Hoffenheim The foundation that has just been laid will soon collapse, becoming the same fate as Stuttgart last year and Kaiserslautern ten years ago.

However, Li Huan's two contract renewal conditions are too high for Hoffenheim, and it is difficult to accept. The salary of 400 million euros before tax is definitely the first in the Bundesliga. Hoffenheim can't afford this money. , but after Li Huan is given such an annual salary, the annual salary of other players must also be increased accordingly, which is a huge number.

Li Huan's second condition for Hoffenheim to buy capable players is also contrary to Hoffenheim's principle of gradual progress. Neither Rangnick nor Hope is a radical person. They both have strategic minds and like to formulate A long-term plan, and then slowly implement it.Therefore, Hoffenheim has always bought potential players in the transfer market, rather than buying powerful stars.

Now whether to keep Li Huan or not has become the key to Hoffenheim's development plan. Neither Lannick, Schindelmaiser, nor general manager Rothaus dared to make a decision. Hope discuss it.
After the European Cup group stage, Hoffenheim's club executives and their investor Hope held a secret meeting in Hoffenheim Village. The central topic of the meeting was to discuss Li Huan's transfer.

Hope has actually been paying attention to this issue for a long time. Li Huan is the player he signed against all opinions. He has always been proud of his transfer. Li Huan's miraculous performance in the past two seasons has also won him of great praise.However, because he is just an investor, the operation of the club is managed by Rothaus, and the transfer and competition issues are in charge of Lannick. Although the signing of Li Huan has always been on his mind, he still I would like to follow my principles since I took over Hoffenheim and did not make any representations.

But this time Rothouse and Lannick invited him, so naturally he couldn't stop talking.After Rangnick explained the situation facing Hoffenheim, Hope said with a serious face: "So, if Li Huan doesn't sign, Ibisevic and Eduardo may also choose to leave."

Shendelmeiser said: "It is very possible that Bayern want Ibisevic just to weaken our strength. They already have Toni and Klose, and Ibisevic and Klose's positions are somewhat useful. Conflict. What is really interested in Ibisevic is AC Milan. Although the reporter of "Gazzetta dello Sport" does not think that Ibisevic's strength has reached a world-class level, in fact Milan's manager Galliani I have already had contact with Ibisevic, and Liverpool are also testing the price of Eduardo with us, I said that it is less than 2000 million euros, so they have no next move."

Rangnick looked very ugly, and said: "If Ibisevic, Eduardo and Li Huan leave, Hoffenheim's offense will lose almost two-thirds, even if we can use the money from selling Li Huan to replenish our strength It is difficult for players who are similar to each other to get along well in a short time."

Hope said: "I am afraid that Bayern will not be able to afford an annual salary of 400 million euros. Is Li Huan really unwilling to sign a contract lower than this figure?" "

Lannick said: "Watts refused to let go. I talked to him twice in person."

Shendelmeiser said: "This nouveau riche, the villain is successful, and now he is counting on using Li Huan, a cash cow, to make a good fortune."

At this time, Rothaus, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up. He pointed to the core of the problem and said: "The key now is that we don't offer this annual salary. There are many clubs waiting with checks. Sevilla has already They offered a transfer fee of 4000 million euros for their right back Alves, and Barcelona has already started negotiating with them, if we don’t renew Li Huan’s contract, Barcelona will definitely not be stingy and add another 1000 million to take Li Huan.”

Lannick frowned and said: "Watts told me that Barcelona contacted him many times, because Li Huan has been waiting for us to express our position, so he didn't agree. As long as Li Huan agrees to transfer to Barcelona, ​​Barcelona will immediately transfer the 5000 million The cash goes straight to Hoffenheim."

Lannick's words made Hope's eyes look angry, and his fists were clenched tightly, as if someone was going to snatch something from him. He said with some regret: "Actually, we still underestimated the potential of this Chinese. 5000 The annual salary of [-] euros makes us very passive, and we hardly have the ability to bargain with Li Huan."

At this time, Rothaus' words seemed to kick Hope's heart hard again, "In addition to Barcelona, ​​Chelsea has been eager to try. He has now cleared Shevchenko and hired the Brazilian Luis Scola. Scolari is the coach, Scolari likes to attack from the side, he appreciates Li Huan very much, once we fail to renew the contract, he will be the second one to wave the check.”

Schindelmaiser said: "You can't underestimate Inter Milan's Mo Er. He signed the coach Mourinho with a lot of money, and now he is looking for a general who will charge forward all over the world."

The words of these high-level club officials made Hope determined, but he did not directly explain what he meant, but said: "If we give Li Huan 400 million euros, then Ibisevic, Eduardo, Obasi and other players How is the annual salary determined?"

Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say, because they offered Demba Ba 450 million euros, which was almost three times higher than Demba Ba's previous contract, but Demba Ba was still not satisfied, Demba Ba was not satisfied, Eduardo and Ibisevic agreed they would not be satisfied.And this is still without knowing Li Huan's annual salary. If they know that Li Huan's annual salary is 400 million euros, then they don't know what price they will offer.

After a while, Rangnick finally broke the silence and said: "Actually, Li Huan's strength is worthy of an annual salary of 400 million euros. He alone takes over the offense and defense on the right side, almost playing the role of a defender and a forward." , and they are all the best ones. We are equivalent to paying 700 million euros for a forward and a defender. If you think about it this way, you won’t think it is too high. The problem now is that the other main players of the team are not balanced. But Ibisevic, Eduardo, and Demba Ba are hard to get a high salary of more than 600 million euros."

Schindelmaiser suddenly said, "I have a good idea."

Everyone turned their eyes to him and said, "What? Tell me."

Shendelmeiser said: "I have not made any progress in my negotiations with Watts recently. It seems that this annual salary can be lowered by another 100 million to 300 million. Watts asked for a three-year contract, but We can change the annual salary to 100 million, and privately give Li Huan the 600 million euros he deserves for three years in the form of signing fees. It is justifiable to reduce the annual salaries of Ibisevic and Eduardo to less than 500 million euros."

Schindelmaiser's words caught everyone's eyes. This is indeed a good way to get the best of both worlds, taking into account the interests of both Li Huan and the club.

When everyone was overjoyed, Rothaus suddenly said: "There is one more difficult thing to solve. Li Huan asked us to buy capable players. This is the really difficult thing. The transfer market has been fired by Chelsea and Real Madrid. The price is too high, the price of some well-known players is outrageously high, and even if we want to buy people, how many people are willing to come to the Bundesliga."

Everyone turned their attention to Hope. Only Hope can make a decision on this matter. Although Hoffenheim Club has a lot of income this season, there is not much left except for the player bonuses. It is not bad to pay players annual salaries, it is impossible to have spare money to buy players, so if you want to buy players, you have to pay for them.

After a long silence, Hope finally spoke, saying: "We can sign Li Huan's annual salary with Manager Schindelmaiser's method, although I originally meant that if Li Huan asks for too high annual salary, we will let him go. But now it seems that Li Huan has too much influence in the team, we have to compromise. And we should have new goals in the new season, these players can cope with the UEFA Cup, but if we want to use this group of players to play The Champions League is a bit lacking, it is a good thing that Li Huan is not satisfied with the status quo, we can temporarily revise our recruitment strategy, and strive to achieve good results in the Champions League this season."

Hope spoke very calmly, but his tone was very firm. Rothaus, Lannick, and Schindelmaiser were all overjoyed when they heard it. They don’t need money. Since Hope is willing to pay for someone, why don’t they Willing to work hard to achieve good results in the Champions League.

Rangnick said: "Mr. Dietmar is right. The team has just won the Triple Crown. If there is no higher goal to stimulate them, I am afraid they will all slack off. Stuttgart, Bremen, and Kaiserslautern a little further away are all It was because of this reason that we fell quickly after winning the championship. Since we have achieved the goal we planned to achieve in a few years in one year, we should continue to make strides forward now."

Hope said: "At this time last year, I only hoped to win a Bundesliga championship in my lifetime. Now I hope to win a Champions League championship in my lifetime. Hehe, if I win it before Inter Milan's Mo Er, he will be angry. died."

The two managers and one coach of Hoffenheim said eagerly: "As long as Li Huan can still perform as miraculously as this year, the Champions League is not impossible."

Everyone has made plans, and Hope said to Lannick: "You can do the specific operations, but let Li Huan see our sincerity, and before the European Cup finals, I want to go to China, Ralph, you accompany me."

Lannick was taken aback, and immediately understood, and said: "Okay, Mr. Dittmar, we should have a good talk with Li Huan first, and now we are only listening to Watts' one-sided words, we need to see what Li Huan means. .”

Hope showed a smile on his face and said, "Exactly."
