Godfather of national football

Chapter 544
Uli Hoeness is on vacation. This summer, Bayern has dealt with Hummels and Sanchez, which can be said to be very rewarding.

Although nominally, Hoeness has not fully resumed his duties at Bayern, but the outside world knows that Bayern's "Grantai" is back.

Suddenly, Hoeness's phone rang, and it was a call from an unfamiliar phone number, and the caller ID was an American phone number.

"Hey,"

"Hi Uli,"

The voice seemed familiar, but Hoeness couldn't remember it, "May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Li Guo."

Upon hearing this name, Hoeness almost dropped the phone, Li Guo, isn't that the person he hates the most?
But in the end Hoeness held back, "What do you want from me?"

"What's your attitude? Can't old friends catch up?"

"You'd better speak quickly, or I'll hang up right away."

"Haha, my temper is still so big."

Li Guo stopped joking and said bluntly, "I want to make a deal with you."

"what?"

"It's about Chen Gelin. I know that Bayern has always wanted to buy him, but they have been rejected several times. I can tell you that now is the best time to buy Chen Gelin. Maybe 1500 million euros can be done."

As long as it is about money, Hoeness is still very sensitive. He remembers Chen Gelin, a very good player, whose valuation in the transfer market is around 3500 million euros. How could he be sold so cheaply?
"Li Guo, why are you so kind?"

"It's a pleasure to help others."

"Hahaha, let's be honest, if you want to do business with me, you'd better not hide anything,"

Li Guo knew that the German guy had such a temper, so he could only tell Hoeness the whole story.

Relying on his years of business sense, Hoeness felt that there was something to be said when he heard it, and Li Guo didn't seem to be lying.

"So, Chen Gelin really can't stay in the United States anymore?"

"correct."

Hoeness was silent for a while, and then said: "But Chen Gelin is 29 years old this year. As a striker, 1500 million is too expensive."

Li Guo secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, this old guy managed Bayern so well because he was stingy enough.

"Hehe, Uli, I have to call Dortmund after I call you, or let's talk back."

Hoeness also scolded Li Guo in his heart, this sentence can be regarded as pinching Hoeness's life, if Dortmund also knows this news, then they will grab it from themselves, and the price will go up, that's not okay.

"Okay, I promise you, I will contact LA Galaxy immediately, by the way, how much favor fee do you want?"

Hoeness felt that Li Guo told him that it was cheap, so he would naturally ask for a favor, but unexpectedly, Li Guo laughed, "Let's owe it first, and we'll talk about it later."

"Hehe, don't, it's even more uncomfortable for me to calculate interest like that, you buy it now."

"No, just don't make it difficult for Chen Gelin when negotiating the contract."

Hoeness was a little moved. There are not many head coaches who can treat players so well these days, "Okay, I promise you."

"it is good."

Putting down the phone, Li Guo told Chen Gelin the news, so that Chen Gelin could rest assured that even if he fell out with the club, he would not be without the ball.

*****
Chinese fans are out!
Originally, Chinese fans were not prepared to go out for this America’s Cup. Firstly, the United States was too far away, and secondly, they wanted to save money to watch next year’s Confederations Cup and the next year’s World Cup.

After getting off the plane in Houston, Lao Zheng and the Northeastern man wanted to find a place to eat first.

"Old Zheng, I heard that Yao Restaurant in Houston is pretty good."

"Hehe, you still eat Chinese food after going abroad."

The Northeast man scratched his head, "Actually, to tell you the truth, I'm also a Dayao fan."

Old Zheng chuckled, "Okay, but you're in for a treat."

I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, but the semi-final between the Chinese team and Argentina was arranged in the Rocket City Houston.

For the Chinese, even if they don’t know where the capital of the United States is, they still know Houston because of one person, Dayao.

So when Lao Zheng and the Northeast guy came to Yao Restaurant, they saw that the restaurant was full of Chinese people. Seeing the scene in front of them, the Northeast guy joked, "Have I ever gone abroad?"

Most of the restaurant was full of football fans, and someone recognized Lao Zheng, "Old Zheng, come here, we have ordered, let's eat some by the way."

Old Zheng and the man from the Northeast said politely: "No, no," but soon the hospitality was too great, and they happened to be hungry, so they joined in and ate together.

While eating and drinking, one of them said, "Unfortunately, Dayao has retired. Otherwise, I will watch the national football game first, and then I will go to Toyota Center to watch Dayao's game."

"Yeah, yeah," echoed the others.

"Yao is our pride. We came all the way from the airport, and every American who saw us would call him Yao Ming. A single Yao Ming allowed us to integrate here without distinction."

The man from the Northeast is more straightforward, "It's useless to talk about that, the most important thing is to get the tickets." After saying this, everyone fell silent.

In fact, watching this kind of large-scale game, the most difficult thing to get is the ticket. The reason why many foreign fans drive a car to watch the game is because they can't get tickets or book a hotel.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Lao Zheng smoothed things over, "I said big brother, if someone invites us to dinner, we will finish the meal first, and we will talk about the rest later."

The man from the Northeast also felt that he was wrong, so he could only lower his head and smile innocently. However, it was not the first time for everyone to come out to watch the game. They all understood that it was hard to say whether they could get tickets, but that kind of experience was very precious, especially if they could make many friends.

I don't know who said suddenly: "Anyway, if we can't get tickets this time, we'll go to the fan square. I won't go to an empty stadium again. It feels so stupid."

"Yes, who came up with the idea last time?"

Old Zheng said: "Director Li made it."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone shut up, and some people said: "The empty stadium is also very good, at least you can bring something to eat."

The Northeast man chuckled, "Old Zheng, should we find a solution with Director Li again this time?"

Lao Zheng shook his head: "Our fan organization is getting more and more perfect now, and I have figured out a way. I contacted some Chinese students on the Internet, and they said they could help us."

"That's great."

"By the way, where are you going after dinner?"

Someone laughed, and everyone said in unison: "Of course, we must go to the Toyota Center."
