Chapter 343: God K Turns Over
Seeing that George only named a few of them, and most of them were already famous players, and other new stars such as Robinho, Figueroa, Hinkel and other popular stars in European football did not enter George's eyes without exception. I have to say that this situation is really much beyond Beckenbauer's expectations!
"George, you're really strict enough. In this regard, Beckenbauer could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Because he found that the players mentioned by the other party, except for Mertesacker, who played in Hannover 96, and Schweinsteiger, who was also a Bayern player, almost all of them were not handled by Bayern!
Mascherano and McCone are Tottenham players, Adriano and Kaka play for Milan, and Tevez has not played in the big clubs, but Bayern's hope of winning him is very slim - under George's covert operation, the Argentine beast got an early chance to land in Europe, and made Atletico Madrid, coached by his mentor Bielsa, his first stop in European football. Fourteen goals and six assists in 28 appearances for Atletico Madrid last season have given Tevez more attention from the Bundesliga, and it will be difficult for Bayern in the Bundesliga to impress the Buenos Aires-born beast.
Although they are among the top giants, in fact, Bayern has not attracted much to players, especially those who are first-class, during this period. Most players would rather play in the upper middle of the other three leagues than consider the possibility of Bayern playing!
The reason for this situation is that, on the one hand, because of Hoeness's business policy of living within his means and the bankruptcy of the main broadcaster of the Bundesliga, Kilsch Group, Bayern basically does not give too high a personal treatment to a certain player, and on the other hand, Bayern's performance in the European competition in the past few years is too dismal, and the reality of two group stage overturns in the past three seasons makes it difficult for people to regard it as a top giant!
What Beckenbauer didn't know was that, in order to avoid causing him more doubts, George had already included Adriano in the range of the Hope Star very unwillingly. Otherwise, George wouldn't have mentioned the new king of the Meazza Stadium at all!
Realizing that it was impossible to dig up more valuable information from George, Beckenbauer had to arrange for scouts to conduct an investigation of Mertesacker to see if the young centre-back, who was highly regarded by George, had any value in cultivating Bayern.
However, after watching the semi-final match between Germany and Brazil in the Confederations Cup, Beckenbauer began to wonder if George had lost his eyes this time, how could he think that such a slow-turned, less athletic guy has the potential to become a top centre-back?
That's the main reason why George mentioned Mertesacker in front of Beckenbauer – it's true that Mertesacker has top potential in frontal defence and defence, but this young centre-back, who has obvious strengths and weaknesses, is not a good fit for Bayern Munich at the moment. After all, both Lucio and Demichelis are rather frivolous on the defensive end, and it's almost impossible to expect them to be able to protect Mertesacker's back during the game. Therefore, if Bayern signs Mertesacker, it will not have any effect on the strength of the team!
Although under the influence of George, Klose did not miss this Confederations Cup due to injury as in his previous life, and impressed Klinsmann with his excellent form and successfully regained the starting position from Kuranyi, but in the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup on June 25, in the face of the powerful Samba Army, the German tank finally lost after 120 minutes of stubborn resistance, and was eliminated by Brazil with a score of 3-4, and unfortunately stopped in the final four of the Confederations Cup!
Although Germany were eliminated in the semi-finals, Klose's performance was unanimously praised by fans and the media. In this game, he replaced Kuranyi as the starting center forward, and he penetrated Dida's ten fingers twice in the game. If it weren't for the central defense of Huter and Mertesacker who was blown to slag by Adriano by himself, then Germany would really have a chance to get a ticket to the final!
In this way, after this game, the call for Klose to replace Kuranyi as the main center forward of the German team has become much higher. Being able to score consecutive goals against Argentina and Brazil, and both scored two goals, Klose won the hearts of fans and the media through practical actions, and Klinsmann once again fell into a deep entanglement!
"Juassim, your words are indeed very reasonable, since it is conditional, and Klose is also very suitable for the current tactical play of the German team, then I really don't have to let Kulanyi play the main team. Under Loew's guidance, Klinsmann finally gave up on his plan to forcibly correct Kuranyi - the choice to support the former in the battle between Lehmann and Kahn for the main goalkeeper had already put the Golden Bomber under considerable pressure, and he did not want to cause another war of words over Klose and Kuranyi.
What's more, Klose's performance in these two games is really impeccable, and the goal efficiency is not known to be higher than that of Kuranyi. Even if Klinsmann wants to promote Kuranyi to the throne, he can't find a suitable reason and opportunity!
The most unhappy with this is Kuranyi, who was deprived of his starting position. The center forward, who has just transferred from Stuttgart to Schalke 04, was expecting to further consolidate his position in the national team with an outstanding performance in this Confederations Cup, but he didn't expect that Klose, who had been suppressed by him, had improved rapidly after transferring to Tottenham, and it was even more salted fish turned over and pressed him to the bench!
So, after getting a message from Loew about Klinsmann, Kuranyi had to abandon his original plan and develop an intensive training plan based on Loew's advice – he didn't want to watch his teammates perform on the bench at next year's World Cup on home soil!
The reason why Kulanyi did not improve significantly after Stuttgart's fame in his previous life, the inconsistent goal efficiency and lack of ability to grasp opportunities at key moments plagued his entire career, largely because of his lack of aggressiveness, coupled with the lack of competitors in the national team and club who could pose a threat to him for a long time, made him unconsciously slow down the pace of progress, and then successfully overtaken by Klose.
It is foreseeable that if Kulanyi can really stick to the training plan given by Loew, then he is bound to be much stronger in this life than in his previous life!
Just when Kuranyi was secretly determined to work hard this summer and prove that he is the number one center forward of the national team, on the other hand, Riquelme's Argentina defeated Mexico on penalties at the AD Stadium in Hannover and successfully met their old rivals Brazil in the final of the Confederations Cup!
