Chapter 188 Gambling
After Sao Paulo beat the Uruguayan national team 3:0 away, the South American media focused on reporting the game.

Because originally this should not be a one-sided game, the Uruguayan national team is not weak, and it is still at their home court.

According to everyone's expectations before the game, the Uruguayan national team can win at home.Whether it is a big victory or a small victory, it should be no problem to win.

What Sao Paulo should be after is a draw.As long as you get a tie, it is a victory.

As for away goals or something, if there is, there is no need to feel upset.

Back home is when they decide the outcome.

But who knew that Sao Paulo lost suspense in a two-round knockout match in one match!
Not only did the Uruguayan national team not win at home, they didn't even score a goal!

After the game, the Uruguayan media criticized the national team's performance as a disgrace!

Nacional's arch-enemy Penarol derided the idea of ​​a team like Nacional representing Uruguayan football as a joke.

The media in Sao Paulo, Brazil, cheered Sao Paulo's performance.

"...There is no doubt that Osvaldo's Sao Paulo has the possibility of hitting the championship!"

That's what the Lance Gazette says.

Look, even a professional and authoritative sports media such as "Lance News" said "the possibility of winning the championship". Rong Guang dared to say that he would guarantee the championship.

And because of this, Gao Wei'a was very interested and curious about how Rongguang could fulfill his promise.

※※※

But the media reports are not the point.The focus is on attention from Europe.

Allofs got the scouting report passed to him by Michal immediately, and also got the video of the game.

As Michal guessed, his efforts did not play a key role. The game report he wrote was not even read by Allofs. Allofs went directly to watch the game video. After watching the game video, he decided to start negotiations with Sao Paulo.

Of course, this does not mean that he will directly agree to Sao Paulo's offer of 700 million break-up clauses.

Werder Bremen is not a wealthy local tyrant like Bayern Munich, and every penny they have needs to be broken up and spent.

700 million US dollars is still very purchasing power in today's football, especially in Germany.

Germany is full of high-quality and cheap Eastern European foreign aid, and 700 million US dollars can already buy very good players.

Allofs hopes to negotiate a transfer fee of less than $500 million.

※※※

"450 million dollars?" Lecco laughed angrily after seeing the fax from Werder Bremen.

Do Germans have only muscles in their brains and no brains?They don't have to use their asses to think about it, how can the glory of scoring twice against the Uruguayan national team be worth $450 million? !
The $700 million breach of contract, Lecco now feels that it is too little...

After the club chairman let go, Lecco couldn't continue to do right with Rongguang.

All he can do now is to deal with the inquiries or offers from European clubs about Glory.

But he has already made a decision. No matter which club it is, if they want to get glory, they must accept such a special clause: "When Sao Paulo fails to win the Copa Libertadores, this contract will be void!"

Isn't your glory to show off your ability?
Then I will give you this opportunity, give you this stage, let you show off!
I'll see what you can do in the end!
Be careful not to screw it up, boy!

※※※

Allofs shook his head with a wry smile as he held the letter from the Sao Paulo club.

Sao Paulo rejected his offer.

Of course, this is normal.

450 million US dollars is low in terms of Rongguang's performance.

Is it really going to be 700 million?
Allofs was a little bit reluctant.

They are not local tyrants, every penny counts.He was under a lot of pressure to get him to shell out $700 million in one go...

After thinking about it, Allofs gritted his teeth and raised the offer to Rongguang to $600 million before passing it on to Sao Paulo.

If it doesn't work this time...if it doesn't work this time...then think of another way!

※※※

Beckenbauer and Hoeness watched the glorious game video together.

Because Beckenbauer knew about this matter at first, he was quite concerned about Rong Guang.

He always thought of the pretty girl who rushed out to stop cars in order to sell her players.

As an agent, to do this, Beckenbauer is also very curious about her players-how good is it to make her agent so desperate.

Rongguang's two goals made the eyes of Beckenbauer and Hoeness shine.

"Ed is right, this is a very good player. And most importantly, he is only 17 years old, he belongs to our future."

After watching the video, Hoeness said.

Beckenbauer also nodded.

"I heard that Allofs has already made an offer to Sao Paulo, and his goal is also this kid." Hoeness said.

As the general manager of Bayern Munich, there are naturally his news channels in the circle.

So even though Allofs chose to keep it secret, in fact, he couldn't hide it from those who cared.

"Ed reports that there is a break clause in the contract between Rong and Sao Paulo."

Beckenbauer became interested: "Oh?"

Brazilian clubs rarely have such a clause, because they rely on player output to survive.Buying and selling of players is even an important part of Brazil's economy.If there is a breach of contract penalty, the business will be difficult to do, and the other party will pay the amount of the breach of contract penalty.

There is no way for Brazilian clubs to bargain, and there is no way for agents to eat up buyers and sellers.

So Beckenbauer was surprised when he heard that Rongguang had a break clause.

"How much?" he asked.

"Seven million dollars," Hoeness said.

"700 million..." Beckenbauer rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Hoeness said next to him: "Kaka, his partner, is said to be chasing him by AC Milan. There are media reports that AC Milan intends to offer 800 million US dollars to introduce Kaka..."

After hearing Hoeness's supplementary explanation, Beckenbauer tapped a few times on the table with his finger and said to Hoeness: "Take it."

Hoeness nodded, without even asking Beckenbauer if it was worth paying $700 million for a young man who had never proven himself in European football.

This is the difference between the poor and the local tyrants. While the poor Allofs was still racking his brains on how to terminate the contract for every penny, the local tyrant Bayern Munich had already decided to spend 700 million US dollars to activate the break clause in the glory contract.

Beckenbauer and Hoeness watched Rong Guang's match against the Uruguayan nation, and both believed that this kid would definitely be worth more than 700 million US dollars in the future.

The Uruguayan national team is not unknown. They won the Copa Libertadores three times and the Toyota Cup three times.In other words, as long as they participate in the Toyota Cup, no European team can beat them.

Counting history, they are thick and brilliant.

It is said that now, they are the champions of Uruguay's domestic league for three consecutive times, and they are also in full swing.

Unexpectedly, such a team, in front of Rong Guang alone, behaved like a piece of paper.

Just for this performance, it is enough to make the two giants here look forward to his future.

※※※

"700 million..."

Lecco's hand holding the fax was shaking.

The moment he was most worried about finally came.

Ever since that fat man insisted on buying a time bomb in the contract, he was wondering when it would be detonated...

Now, it finally exploded.

The first club that opened for Rongguang to 700 million US dollars appeared.

And this club is... the famous Bayern Munich!
They only won the European Champions Cup two years ago.

He is the well-deserved boss of German football.

Is a real rich.

Such a team expressed interest in Rongguang, might Rongguang disagree to go?
Lecco seems to have seen Rong Guang wearing a Bayern Munich jersey.

Perhaps only one thing can prevent this from happening.

※※※

"You have to wait for Sao Paulo to win the Copa Libertadores before the transfer can take effect?" Hoeness held the fax from the Sao Paulo club, with a little irritation in his tone. "What does it mean?!"

He had never seen such an unreasonable request.

What does the transfer of players have to do with whether the team wins the championship?
He even thinks that this is the Sao Paulo club deliberately making things difficult for Bayern Munich, which is a naked provocation!

If it wasn't because Beckenbauer paid more attention to the progress of Rongguang's transfer, maybe he would never contact Sao Paulo again.

So he sent another strongly worded fax to ask the Sao Paulo club what he meant by doing so.

※※※

When Lecco received this strongly worded fax, even though thousands of miles away, he could fully feel the anger of Hoeness through these words.

If doing so can really anger Bayern Munich and make them give up the introduction of glory, then Lecco would definitely like to see it.

So in his reply, Lecco explained the gambling agreement between Rongguang and the club chairman to Hoeness in detail.

However, the tone of voice seems a bit frivolous.

For example, he said that this is the wish of the players themselves, and it is hard for them as a club to say anything, they can only abide by it.So he hopes that Bayern Munich can recognize this agreement in the spirit of respecting the wishes of the players.

※※※

"I can't understand the weird idea of ​​​​this player..."

In Beckenbauer's office, Hoeness is complaining to Beckenbauer.

The favor he had for Rong Guang after watching the game video before was completely destroyed.

And Beckenbauer was looking at the reply letter from the Sao Paulo club brought by Hoeness, which explained in detail why they would require such an additional condition to be added to the contract.

Rong Guang even took the initiative to promise that he would help the team win the Copa Libertadores before leaving.

If not, he will stay in Sao Paulo until he helps the team win the Copa Libertadores.

He had never seen this gambling agreement before.

He actually used the Copa Libertadores as a weight for his transfer...

Beckenbauer still knows a lot about the Copa Libertadores.

It is equivalent to the Champions Cup in South America.

Those who can win this championship are all giants in South American football.Those are the best teams.

The competition is very fierce, and it is very difficult to win the championship. How can it be said that if you get it, you will get it?
but……

He shook his head.

It's really a good match with the agent who flies to stop cars to sell players... Her players also like to play cards that don't follow common sense.

An agent who doesn't play cards according to common sense and a player who doesn't play cards according to common sense are a perfect match!

Beckenbauer smiled: "Anyway, it's a matter between the players and Sao Paulo, and it has nothing to do with us. If they want to add, let them add."

Hoeness stared at Beckenbauer with wide eyes.

"But we spent energy and financial resources, and spent a lot of time on this transfer, but in the end, because Sao Paulo didn't win the championship, it all came to naught... Isn't this too childish? Besides, if the transfer is not successful, it will disrupt our transfer plan..."

Beckenbauer raised his hand to signal Hoeness to calm down, and then said: "There has never been a transfer that is [-]% sure to win. There are always many surprises in transfers. Maybe we worked hard for a summer, and the transfer failed before the transfer market closed-isn't there a lot of such things? So relax, Uli. Besides... Isn't this a good opportunity?"

Hoeness looked at Beckenbauer in confusion.

"This is a good opportunity for us to understand how strong Rong is. Let Ed continue to stay in Brazil and follow and observe Rong's every game. If he can't lead Sao Paulo to win the Copa Libertadores, then such a player, don't worry about it."

Hoeness looked at Beckenbauer with surprise.

"The player who can let us spend 700 million US dollars to buy out directly, of course, can't be an unknown player. Bayern Munich is a champion team, and only champion players are worthy of her!"

Perhaps it was an illusion, Hoeness felt that the last words Beckenbauer said were full of domineering, quite a bit of the demeanor of the "football emperor" back then.

Now he suddenly felt that he was being targeted by the "Football Emperor", and he didn't know if it was the kid's luck or misfortune...
