From the Country Team To the Rich

  Chapter 78 Saarbrücken’s ‘Old’ Captain (seeking favorites!)

  Saarbrücken is the capital of Saarland and a border city of Germany.

  As a former heavy industry base in Germany, there are dilapidated factories and various coal mining bases here.

  It’s just that as more and more German companies import coal from countries with low wages, their status has plummeted.

  This is a bit similar to the declining heavy industry base in Northeast China.

Saarbrücken is a German C team, but they are not particularly wealthy, perhaps because of the low economic status of Saarland, it seems to be a German C team, but in some details, they even Even Hoffenheim can't compare.

  This is related to the expansion and rise of Hoffenheim started last year.

In fact, Hoffenheim’s development has surpassed most teams. Except for the hard facilities such as the home field and office buildings, they have even surpassed most of the C-level teams by looking at the training facilities alone. Advance with the second-tier team.

  Of course, few teams have the courage to directly loan 20 million euros like Zhang Xian.

  This trip, Zhang Xian’s purpose is the Saarbrucken club, he is here to buy players.

  Beerster, as the club’s general manager, was quite surprised at the arrival of Zhang Xian.

  But the two had just completed a deal, and the bond was still there, so they naturally treated Zhang Xian enthusiastically.

  Under the leadership of Beerster, Zhang Xian visited the Saarbrucken Club, and at the same time entered the honor room to see the old honor certificates.

  Yes, Saarbrücken is a team with a long history. This team was formed in 1903. In the 1940s and 50s, it had a strong presence with Turin and the Madrid Kings.

  But with the maturity of professional leagues and the arrival of commercialization.

  Saarbrücken was a step slower after all, and failed to embark on such a high-speed flight. Now they are struggling in the Bundesliga B and C leagues, and until now, they have not reached the Bundesliga league.

  And these old-fashioned honors are the only self-esteem of Saarbrücken fans.

Listening to Beerster's hype about how awesome Saarbrücken had been, Zhang Xian was a little annoyed to hear it, but he could only show a look of curiosity when he asked for him, and he even stood up inadvertently. Thumbs up and a few compliments.

  For Zhang Xian's performance, Beerst is very useful.

   "Go ahead, who do you want to buy?"

   "Kohler Mario!"

  Beirst suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Who?"

  Zhang Xian said one word at a time: "Ke! Le! Horse! Li! Ao!"

   "Shit, I treat you as a friend, you treat me as a fool!"

  Beerster was furious in an instant, and he said with a look of indignation: "He is our captain!"

  Zhang Xian emphasized: "The ‘old’ captain!"

   "In fact, Mario is now in a semi-retired state, and his life seems to be not good. You are not willing to give him too much salary, and he himself is embarrassed to propose to leave."

  Beerst was silent after hearing this.

  Kohler. Mario is their old captain.

   is deeply loved by Saarbrücken fans. It can be said that even in a semi-retired state, the team will let him show his face before the start of the new season to win the support of fans.

  Only compared with these, the treatment of the old captain is obviously not good, his weekly salary is 300 Euros per week, which is simply pitiful in terms of his status and status.

  Of course, it’s not that Saarbrücken doesn’t want to give more, but they have already spent enough for other players on the first team.

  And Saarbrücken is also very poor, they really can't give much salary to the old captain who acts as a mascot.

   "How do you know this?" Beister asked.

  Zhang Xian shrugged and said; "Media newspapers and online searches, man, this is not a secret!"

  Beerster twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "You guys. How much do you plan to give him?"

  Zhang Xian put up a finger and said: "Weekly salary, one thousand euros, this is Hoffenheim's maximum salary!"

  Beerster froze for a moment, and subconsciously said; "You are so rich?"

  Why Berster was so angry just now, it was because he felt that Zhang now insulted Mario.

  After all, the sixth-level team can't afford Mario's salary.

  But when they heard that they were willing to pay 1,000 Euros a week sincerely, Beerst was not so angry.

  Zhang Xian smiled, and said: "We have invested half a year's budget in it, just to win the favor of Kohler Mario."

  Beirst pouted his lips about this, he didn't believe it.

  This Chinese lied when he opened his mouth.

  Beerster sighed and said, "Well, let's talk to him. In fact, his contract has expired and he is a free man."

  Hearing this, Zhang Xian's eyes lit up.

  Free people mean that you don’t have to pay transfer fees!

  At noon, Zhang Xian and Beerster had lunch together. During this period, Zhang Xian proposed the idea of ​​an'internal youth training echelon league'.

  Beirst is very interested in this, and he is willing to join in.

  Before, those youth training coaches often complained to him about the problem of not being able to find a training match.

  If you join this ‘Internal Youth Training Echelon League’, there will be no shortage of opponents in the training competition, and he does not need to contact him to train opponents through a phone call.

  During the meal, Beerst clarified the problem with Kohler Mario on the phone, and he was willing to talk to Zhang Xian.

  For this, after Zhang Xian thanked him again, he came to meet with Kohler Mario at about one in the afternoon.

  Kohler Mario, now 35 years old, but looks a bit old, and the wings are full of white hair, looking like an old man.

  But his figure is very burly, with a full height of 1.9 meters, this guy used to be called ‘Scissors-Mario’ in the second Bundesliga, a real thug.

  It’s just that since he had a child, this guy’s personality has become a lot more docile, and he has turned from a fierce horse to a daughter slave.

   "Hello, Director Zhang!"

  The two met, Mario smiled and stretched out his hand.

  Zhang Xian also smiled and held it up.

   "I think Mr. Beerst has already made things clear. Would you like to play in Hoffenheim?"

"willing!"

  The other party answered decisively, and Zhang Xian was stunned.

  So smoothly!

Mario was also a little embarrassed, he said: "Actually, I already have the intention to leave, but it is not my initiative to leave, but someone came to buy me, but it seems that many people have lost interest in me, you should know Compared to those technically gorgeous front midfielders, scavengers like me are not popular."

  Zhang Xian smiled in his heart.

  At this stage, it is indeed the world of technical midfielders. The position of the front midfielder has very important tactical significance.

  But Zhang Xian still remembers that with the evolution of tactics, the position of the midfielder is becoming more and more marginalized. This kind of scavenger-type midfielder is the player that the future coach will prefer.

   "You don't have to be scornful. In Hoffenheim, the midfield belongs to the scavenger!"

  In response, Mario smiled, he only treated Zhang Xian as comforting himself.

  "So when do we sign the contract?"

   "Sign now!"

  Zhang Xian took out a contract from the briefcase he carried with him. After writing the contract year and salary, he wrote his name, and then handed it over.

  Mario picked up the contract to check, and when he saw the weekly salary of 1,000 euros, he showed satisfaction.

  He continued to look down. When he saw that the signing year was ‘three years’, he was stunned.

   "Mr. Here. We signed for three years?"

  Mario thought Zhang Xian had filled in wrong.

  He is a 35-year-old veteran. Zhang is willing to spend 1,000 Euros a week to sign himself for three years?

  In response, Zhang Xian said indifferently: "I believe that you will return more than the amount above."

  Mario was slightly moved in his heart, he did not decline, and said, "Thank you!"

  After speaking, he wrote his name.

  At this point, Hoffenheim has signed the once smashing German second ‘Scissors-Mario’.
