Chapter 298 Home Visit to Klose

At present, Kaiserslautern, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, as long as they can complete this deal with Arsenal, they will also be able to get the capital for revival.

Although they fell to the Bundesliga this season, as long as they work together as a team and stop fighting so fiercely like this season, they will be promoted back to the Bundesliga just around the corner.

And after having learned about Klose's current entangled issues through the collected information, Shao Bo flew to Germany again in person.

After becoming the head coach, Shao Bo's schedule has been restricted by the club.

It's not that there is any detailed contract to prevent Shao Bo from running around the world.

But on the basis of responsibility, it is really difficult for Shao Bo to spare time to leave London for the development of the club.

Not to mention the documents that need to be confirmed by him every day, there are still so many opponents' game videos that he needs to watch and study in person.

The coaching staff was able to terminate his contract for a long time, but as the head coach, if he didn't see it for himself and had a rough standard in mind, how could he formulate a suitable response method?
Today, most of the negotiations can be resolved only by phone and fax, and there is no need for Shao Bo to go there himself.

However, those that require Shao Bo to go there in person are mostly fixed ceremonies and celebrations. After showing his face, he has to return to London quickly and continue working.

Of course, the same is true for those players running on the green field, unless they do not have a game, or are injured or have other reasons.

Otherwise during the season, players rarely have the opportunity to leave the team.

It is precisely because of this that the short one-month vacation every year is so precious-the season is indeed not that long, but every team will conduct pre-match training in advance.

The first Premier League season after the World Cup in Japan and South Korea is over. Ferguson has completed Manchester United's revenge, although Sir Alex still lost one of his most important generals in the past-the next stop is David Beckham in Madrid.

Not only that, Ferguson also expressed his expectation for the next season after winning the championship, which is to win the Premier League trophy again and not give Arsenal any chance.

At the same time, Mourinho, who is far away in Portugal, not only completed the goal he had just arrived in Porto at the beginning of the season, but also overfulfilled the task.

What makes Porto fans happy is that it's not just the head coach who has only been in charge for one year leading the team to the Portuguese League Championship.Oh, since an Austrian sports betting company bought the naming rights of the league, they have changed from the Portuguese Liga to the Portuguese Super League, although the essence has not changed.

The important thing is that Mourinho led Porto to beat many powerful enemies, all the way to the UEFA Cup final.And met Benfica in the final, staged the "Portuguese Super Civil War".

And Mourinho successfully won Benfica and was crowned the European champion coach.

Benfica once again fell victim to that famous European final curse, and no one knew that Guttmann's grievances would have to be resolved in due course.

Mourinho, a rising star in the coaching world, has now attracted widespread attention.

Mourinho is similar to Shao Bo. They both won the championship after taking up the post of head coach of the new team.

In the first year of coaching Porto, Mourinho also won the Portuguese Super League and the UEFA Cup.

It's just that Mourinho's achievements are higher. He also won the domestic Portuguese Cup, which Shao Bo has always been criticized for - he is always used to giving up a few fronts early, and then sprinting for one or two championships with all his strength. , luckily succeeds most of the time.

Shao Bo's approach has been widely criticized after their unbeaten run was broken last season.

Because Arsenal not only fell five points behind Manchester United in the league and lost the league championship, but also mistakenly retained their strength in the second-level group stage of the Champions League. As a result, they did not enter the quarter-finals for four consecutive years.

This led some football commentators to suggest in their columns that Arsenal change to a head coach who is good at playing European games. Not to mention that Shao Bo’s position in the club is unshakable, and he has a small half of the team’s shares. Impeachment go.

More importantly, they probably have forgotten who brought Arsenal into the Champions League and how they reached the final.

However, Mourinho's foundation is far more solid than that of Shao Bo. Excluding the player career that is so bad that I don't want to mention it again, Mourinho's journey as a head coach has gone smoothly and solidly, with a solid foundation.

He has followed Robson and Van Gaal as an interpreter for many years, and has learned from them how to be an excellent head coach.

Before that, he also worked as an assistant coach for several clubs including Porto.

Not to mention that Mourinho has also served as the head coach of Benfica and Leiria, although the coaching time is not very long.

Before Mourinho led the team to the Portuguese Super League championship, his name was not well known; just after they defeated Benfica and won the UEFA Cup, Mourinho became the main player who has attracted worldwide attention. coach.

In any case, the champion of the UEFA Cup is also the European champion, although it seems that the gold content is not so high.

And at the age of 40, he can be regarded as a younger generation in the coaching circle, as long as he doesn't count the heaven-defying Shao Bo.

In fact, Shao Bo is not counted. Vialli, who led Chelsea to the European Cup Winners Cup, was only in his 30s.

But now Mourinho is still working hard in Porto, waiting for Bole who knows a good horse.

……

After getting off the plane, Shao Bo saw the pick-up personnel sent by Kaiserslautern.

Whether or not this deal can be negotiated with Arsenal is related to their development in at least the next year or two, and the club can't help but be careless.

Being able to give Shao Bo a good impression here will also facilitate the conclusion of the transaction.

Although the two parties have initially negotiated about the price, Kaiserslautern is also worried that if something goes wrong in the end, they will lose this source of funds.

It seems impossible to rely on bank loans to tide over the difficulties, and the city government and other groups are powerless. Kaiserslautern can only try to save itself.

Then strive to return to the Bundesliga as soon as possible to have the opportunity to get more funds.

If you stay in the Bundesliga, it will be dark.

And if they break the capital chain and are declared bankrupt by the bank during this period, they can only be relegated directly to the third division, which is not as convenient as Kaiserslautern starting from scratch.

Although they wanted to receive Shao Bo, they had limited financial resources and it was difficult to make a decent ceremony.

Fortunately, Shao Bo didn't care about these hypocritical and impractical people. After he got in the car in Kaiserslautern, he directly proposed to go to Klose's house for a ride.

Negotiations with the club did not require Shao Bo to come in person. If it wasn't for Klose, he wouldn't have to deliberately go to such a small city.

The reception staff told Shao Bo that Klose has now returned home, and they have to go through a car.

If they don't take a long distance, they have to take a train for a while.Shao Bo, who had just got off the plane, didn't want to go to the train again, so he got into the car with the Kaiserslautern staff.

Now that the Bundesliga has just ended, although the UEFA Cup has already decided a champion and runner-up, the UEFA Champions League has not yet been divided.

As long as the Champions League champion has not been released, this season in Europe has not officially ended.

But for the Bundesliga players, those who have no Champions League missions are already on vacation, those who should go home to rest, and those who should travel are flying all over the world.

Klose is not someone who likes to play around, he can be regarded as a "house" among players.

This kind of "house" is just compared to those guys who go out to spend time and drink all day long, and enjoy the sunshine, beach, wine and beauties when they are on vacation.

The young Klose has obviously not been corrupted by the luxurious life of those mature players. Perhaps this is also related to the fact that Kaiserslautern was originally a quiet town.

Klose, who wanted to be a carpenter when he was a child, is now resting at home.

During the wonderful holiday, he doesn't need to worry about the future of the team. After all, Kaiserslautern has notified Klose that he is going to trade him to Arsenal.

Apart from occasionally going out with his girlfriend Sylvia to cultivate relationships, Klose, who has nothing to do, can only continue to brush up on his carpentry skills at home.

His carpentry skills were not wasted, and Klose made a lot of furniture in his home when he was free.

Of course, the head coach of Kaiserslautern once warned him about this matter and told him to stay away from such activities that could easily hurt him as much as possible.

Probably they have all forgotten that even if you spray perfume, you may be hit by the perfume bottle on your toes. Where is there anything completely safe in this world?
Shao Bo doesn't care about this, anyway, it's just a player's personal hobby, it's much better than going to nightclubs every day, and finally dragging down his body.

It took nearly an hour of driving before Shao Bo arrived at the small town called Qusail.

This place is under the jurisdiction of Kaiserslautern. Compared with the small town as the superior, the small town of Kusail is even more "three noes".

Not to mention things like vending machines and taxis, it's hard to find even a single person.

If he hadn't obtained the detailed information from the scouts in advance, Shao Bo couldn't believe it until he got off the car that the Klose family really lived here.

Fortunately, with the guidance of the reception staff in Kaiserslautern, Shao Bo was able to find Klose's home.Otherwise, he who is unfamiliar with the place may make jokes about getting lost.

The car stopped in front of Klose's house, the first thing Shao Bo heard was a few barking dogs, and then a young man's soft scolding.

Through the car window, Shao Bo could also recognize that the young man who was leading a Doberman pinscher was the target of his trip—Miroslav Klose.
