Chapter 297 Klose's Tangle
At the beginning of 03, a shocking news came from Germany. Another club was on the verge of bankruptcy after Lazio and Leeds United.

This is not the Dortmund that Shao Bo has been waiting for for a long time, but Kaiserslautern who has created myths.

Kaiserslautern, who once won the Bundesliga championship as a newly promoted team, is now on the verge of bankruptcy due to financial problems. This is really a great irony.

They are really not like Lazio and Leeds United, who have made any big investments, like gamblers, betting on the future of the team.

It's just that although the city here in Kaiserslautern is not too small, the development of the team can only be regarded as average, and they have not yet achieved complete self-sufficiency.

Therefore, if there is a problem with the overall environment of the Bundesliga, the small and medium clubs attached to it will suffer.

Teams like Dortmund and Bayern Munich naturally have no problem, they have enough fans to support them.And teams like Wolfsburg and Leverkusen, which have Volkswagen Group and Bayer Pharmaceuticals as their backers, are not afraid of temporary headwinds.

But for a team like Kaiserslautern, as long as there is a slight problem with the soil they depend on, many conflicts will erupt in the team.

The Kirsch Group, which has been sponsoring the Bundesliga, because of their over-expansion and over-reliance on bank loans for funding sources.Leading to their eventual declaration of bankruptcy in 2002.

The broadcast contract of up to [-] million euros originally signed between the Kirsch Group and the Bundesliga eventually fell through.

Many small-scale clubs are on the verge of collapse because of this, because TV broadcast fees are the basis for their survival.Without the TV broadcast fee, a series of things such as the operation of the club, the salary expenditure of the players, the purchase of new players after the transfer... and so on cannot be solved.

Although after the bankruptcy of the Kirsch Group, the major TV stations in Germany extended a helping hand one after another, but the major clubs also lost about 30.00% of the broadcast fee share.

This is an unbearable injury for a small team.

Dortmund is now affected by this and their stocks have shrunk sharply, but their record is excellent. If they perform well enough in the Champions League next season, with the bonuses from the Champions League, they can also slow down and support new broadcasters. The arrival of the contract.

After Kaiserslautern created their own miracle, their performance has been stable, and they are in the middle of the Bundesliga.

Not to mention that after the end of this season's Bundesliga, they have already missed the UEFA Cup and lost their qualification for the UEFA Cup. They will be tested more severely.

The reduction in income has also shaken the stability of the team.

In this season, the club's head coach has changed three times, and even the club chairman was impeached by the board of directors because of various conflicts.

To make matters worse, Kaiserslautern's tax office discovered that they had owed as much as 300 million euros in taxes in the past few years!

This confirmed news means that Kaiserslautern not only needs to pay off the arrears, but also has to accept a large amount of punishment.

The team has fallen into the brink of life and death!

In order to raise funds, they even temporarily handed over Klose's transfer rights to a local gaming company.What Kaiserslautern got was only 500 million euros in cash.

And in order to survive this economic crisis, the funds they need are not 500 million, but 4000 million euros!
Although the local Laifa state government in Kaiserslautern is willing to help the local team, the state government does not have enough cash in its hands.

Even the landlord's family has no surplus food.

After all, for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the Fritz Walter Stadium, which had been chosen as the venue for the World Cup, is now undergoing a makeover.

And the renovation fee alone is as high as 5000 million euros.

The state government has come up with more than 2000 million euros, the city government has also come up with 1000 million, and Kaiserslautern needs to be responsible for the remaining 2000 million euros.

At that time, the biggest turmoil in the Bundesliga had not yet appeared. With the backing of the Kirsch Group, Kaiserslautern invested funds in the reconstruction of the stadium.

It is a pity that Kaiserslautern's money was spent, but the Kirsch Group went bankrupt and no longer supported any Bundesliga team.

As a result, Kaiserslautern suddenly fell into financial difficulties, so that the club chairman even temporarily issued such a ridiculous and absurd policy: If there is no victory in two consecutive rounds, the salaries of all players in the team will be halved .

This move has been criticized by many, but what can Kaiserslautern do?

They really have no money left.

This time, in order to survive the bankruptcy crisis, Kaiserslautern can only accept the government's proposal to sell their Fritz-Walter Stadium to a local real estate company.

In this way, Kaiserslautern was able to withdraw part of the funds.

It's just that Kaiserslautern, which is doomed to be relegated, will not have a high revenue next season.

The team will go through a painful and long adjustment and transition period. In the past few years, the outstanding players in the Kaiserslautern team will leave in large numbers.

Even if they don't want to leave, Kaiserslautern can't afford to pay the salaries of the original group of players.

Although there is a feeling of sorrow for the death of a rabbit, Shao Bo feels that this is a good opportunity to take down Klose!

Not to mention 500 million euros, even if it is 1000 million or 500 million, Shao Bo thinks it is worth it!
If Arsenal really gets Klose, it will be as profitable as Real Madrid's taking advantage of Beckham this time.

Needless to say, Klose's strength is already the main center of the German team at a young age, and he also proved himself with a silver boot in the World Cup.

And his handsome appearance, the good image that has never been rumored and lace news outside the field, is also a rare high-quality intangible asset.

Whether it is Lazio or Juventus, domestic Bayern Munich or Dortmund, they have all sent letters to Kaiserslautern, hoping to get this excellent player.

It's just that Klose himself is reluctant to leave here because he is nostalgic for his hometown.

Kaiserslautern also happily used Klose for an extra year.

However, a small team like Kaiserslautern is destined to not be able to retain a player as good as Klose.

Even if the Bundesliga does not have an economic crisis this time, Kaiserslautern may encounter other crises and be forced to sell Klose.

If Shao Bo makes a move, he is willing to pay a price worthy of Klose's worth.

Of course, because the value of Bundesliga players is generally lower than that of the other three major leagues, Klose's transfer price will not exceed 2000 million euros.

The first price given by Shao Bo was 1000 million euros.

In business, the key to bargaining is to cut down to one-third first, and then grind slowly.

Shao Bo feels that Kaiserslautern is having a miserable life now, and he really wants to win Klose.

Otherwise, Shao Bo could clearly rent Morientes for another year, or use past favors to buy him out cheaply.

Why didn't Shao Bo do this?He just wanted to take advantage of this time to overcome Klose and bring one of the most dazzling stars in the German team back to London!

Kaiserslautern hesitated for a while, and finally the two sides agreed on a price of 500 million euros.

According to the agreement, the money will be credited into Kaiserslautern's account within a week by Arsenal in the form of cash.

This can be called a life-saving money!
With this 500 million, Kaiserslautern has a lot of room to operate.

At the beginning, Kaiserslautern mortgaged Klose's transfer rights, and they took the initiative to "redeeme" Klose during the negotiation.

Kaiserslautern is for the difference between the transfer fee and 500 million euros.

Fortunately, Kaiserslautern won the bet, and Shao Bo was really willing to pay 500 million for Klose.

In this way, Kaiserslautern has more than 900 million euros left after replacing the arrears and removing seven or eighty-eight expenses, which is enough to help Kaiserslautern take a breather in the Bundesliga and stay away from bankruptcy.

Otherwise, according to German law, a bankrupt team cannot take maternity leave for the Bundesliga and Bundesliga.

But whether Klose will come to North London or not depends on his own wishes.

If he doesn't want to go, even if both clubs agree, Klose will still stay in Kaiserslautern.

Last season, Klose rejected Shao Bo's personal invitation and stayed in his hometown.

Although this made Klose lose a lot of opportunities to win honors, but in fact he didn't miss anything-except for the undefeated one that was terminated. Arsenal lost all four players in the 02-03 season and became Shao Bo's coaching history. for the first time.

But Klose also gained sincere love in his hometown.

Although shortly after rejecting Shao Bo for the first time, Klose was dumped by his first girlfriend, Julia, because Julia couldn't stand Klose running around for the national team.

However, at the beginning of 03, he met his current girlfriend, Sylvia who works in the Kaiserslautern fan shop.

For the current Klose, on the one hand, he wants to use his own strength to help his home team through the crisis, on the other hand, he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes and repeat the past tragedies-he doesn't want to be dumped by his girlfriend for the same reason Lost, and went to London, it seems more unacceptable to the woman than running for the national team.

For these minutiae, Shao Bo is not very clear.However, he has already learned about Klose's current emotional journey through intelligence agencies, and guessed the reason for Klose's hesitation from the reason why he was broken up in the last game.

Thanks to the local media in Germany, and also to Klose for his frankness in the past.

Otherwise, Shao Bo could not find a breakthrough.
