Godfather of national football

Chapter 50
"Li Guo? Is that guy back?" Bayern manager Hoeness asked.

Bayern chairman Rummenigge nodded, "This time we are not opponents, but to discuss cooperation."

Hoeness snorted in the nose. In the past 10 years, Leverkusen can be said to be one of the few teams in the Bundesliga to challenge Bayern. The previous leader was their head coach "Dum". Later, he stayed away from the German coaching circle because of drug abuse.

Li Guo was the second to carry the banner of Leverkusen, so Hoeness was very impressed with Li Guo.

"What cooperation?" Hoeness asked.

"He hopes that the Chinese national team will play a friendly match with the Bayern second team."

Hoeness chuckled, "Then how much is he going to give us?"

Rummenigge looked embarrassed and said, "Not a penny."

Hoeness is a well-known miser among the managers of the Bundesliga team. Thinking about the transfer of Dutch striker Makaay to Bayern, in the end, for the price difference of 50 euros, Makaye insisted on paying for it himself, so the possibility of taking advantage of him is almost zero.

"No money? Then what are you talking about?"

Rummenigge said: "But Li Guo said that all the ticket money belongs to Bayern."

Hoeness sneered, "Bayern's second warm-up match, the opponent is still the Chinese team, do you think the box office will be good?"

"But I have promised,"

This made Hoeness annoyed, "Carl, you should know that I am the manager of Bayern. Without me, would Bayern be where it is today?"

Rummenigge signaled Hoeness not to be impatient, "Listen to me, in fact, we don't suffer in this game, we can use a warm-up match to examine Jurgen."

The Jurgen in Rummenigge's mouth is actually Klinsmann. After the European Cup, he will officially become the head coach of Bayern Munich.

As soon as these words came out, Hoeness raised his eyebrows, he was tempted, because he still had doubts about Klinsmann's ability, and what made him even more worried was that this Klinsmann always went to the United States because his wife was American.

When Klinsmann was the head coach of the German national team, the German media criticized him for always returning to the United States and not paying attention to the German team. When Klinsmann signed with Bayern, he made it clear that he must return to the United States often.

"Alright, I also want to investigate Jurgen, if it doesn't work..."

"Don't talk nonsense,"

Hoeness realized that he almost said something frustrating, so he chuckled to ease the embarrassment, "By the way, we can promote it to the Chinese in Munich. Their national team is here. This is a good opportunity."

Rummenigge chuckled in his heart, "This guy really doesn't miss any chance to make money."

*****
When the players of the Chinese team walked into the Bayern headquarters - 51 Sebena Street, it felt like a pilgrimage. In the 90s, Bayern Munich had a nickname - Star Hollywood.

Li Guo asked the tour guide to lead the players to visit the Bayern headquarters. The first day is mainly to rest and adjust the jet lag. The formal training will start tomorrow.

Robin, Chen An, and Li Guo did not accompany them to visit because they had been to this place too many times. The three of them walked towards the training ground. At this time, the faces on the training ground were all young. Robin and Chen An did not know each other, but Li Guo was different. As a time traveler, he was very familiar with the paper face in front of him, because these children would become world-class stars in the future.

Müller, Alaba, Badstuber, Hoiberg, Emre Can, these future stars are still unknown.

"Lam, Xiaozhu, Ribery, Miroslav Klose, and Toni are not here. With these people, I think our Chinese team can easily win," Chen An said.

Li Guo almost laughed out loud, and when Chen An recalled these words a few years later, he would definitely find it ridiculous.

While the three were chatting and laughing, the atmosphere of the training ground changed. The children who were talking and laughing all looked towards the sidelines with smiles on their faces. Their attitudes became serious. Li Guo turned his head and saw that it was Klinsmann.

"Don't lift your knee when passing the ball," Klinsmann roared.

Li Guo knew that Klinsmann's later experience at Bayern was a failure, and this should be his honeymoon period with Bayern.

"Thomas, what about you, pass the ball faster,"

Müller pouted, a little unconvinced. He felt that comfort was the most important thing when playing football, and Klinsmann's training was too rigid.

But he is not qualified to talk back to the coach at this time. There are too many people in Bayern. Like him, he doesn’t know when he can be promoted to the first team.

While talking, Klinsmann saw Li Guo and the others. If they were traditional Germans, they would be similar to Chinese and more reserved, but Klinsmann's personality was closer to Americans, so he gave the three of them a hug as soon as they came up.

"Welcome to Bayern. I'm just about to play. I haven't touched football for two years since the 2006 World Cup. It's boring me."

"Will your beautiful wife be mad if you're not in America," Robin quipped.

"Haha, I remember this joke has been popular since I became the head coach of the German team, and it still sounds so funny now," Klinsmann laughed first after speaking.

Afterwards, Li Guo and Chen An also smiled cooperatively. No wonder the Germans said that Klinsmann is the German who is most like an American.

In fact, Klinsmann is quite familiar with Robin Dutt, "Robin, I just need an assistant, are you interested?"

Du Te looked at Li Guo, "Forget it, Li Guo will kill me."

Klinsmann laughed, "Let's go, I'll treat you to coffee."

The four of them came to the restaurant at the base. It has to be said that the standard of the Bayern headquarters restaurant is absolutely no less than any Michelin restaurant in Europe.

"By the way, Li Guo, you've been looking at it for a long time, do you have any suggestions," Klinsmann asked.

Li Guo didn’t know that as a time traveler, he should not interfere with the development of history. Through the glass window of the restaurant, Li Guo saw a person on the training ground. To Bayern fans, he was as brilliant as a shooting star. I remember that in the Audi Cup in 2009, he was like a black pearl born out of nowhere. He was 1 meters tall and was a rare excellent striker.

Li Guo pointed out the window, "That young man is not bad."

Looking in the direction Li Guo pointed, Klinsmann saw the Frenchman Sené who was practicing his header.
