As Tang Zheng and Dortmund completed the contract renewal, those clubs who had ideas about him shook their heads helplessly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

They had to re-identify players and strengthen their squad.

The most expensive player to transfer this summer was Argentine golden boy Sergio Aguero from Atletico Madrid, who joined Manchester City for 45 million euros.

Also departing is goalkeeper David De Gea, who joined United for €20 million.

Atletico Madrid, who got the money, did not put it in its pocket and waited for the depreciation, but immediately bought striker Falcao from Porto for 40 million euros, Alda Turan from Galatasaray for 12 million euros, and Gabi from Zaragoza for 3 million euros.

Tang Zheng's friend Alexis Sanchez joined Barcelona on a floating clause of 26 million euros plus 4 million euros, and Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas returned to Barcelona for 39 million euros, of which 5 million euros were out of his own pocket, which was surprising.

Another La Liga giant, Real Madrid, continued to wave cheques after buying Shahin, buying Coentrão from Benfica for 30 million euros, buying Callejon for 5 million euros and buying Varane, a French centre-back who is only 18 years old at Lens, for 10 million euros.

The Bundesliga has not had much purchasing power this summer, with only Bayern spending tens of millions of euros.

They spent €22 million to poach captain Manuel Neuer from Schalke 04 and €13.5 million to buy German centre-back Jerome Boateng for Manchester City.

Other than that, there are no tens of millions of transactions.

The Premier League is still the superlord of this summer's transfer window, with frequent transactions.

Serie A, which has been a surprise so far, surprisingly overtook La Liga to become the second most expensive league in Europe's transfer market.

Ligue 1, which has not been able to become a predator in the European transfer market, overtook the Bundesliga this summer to become fourth.

Tang Zheng, who returned to Dortmund to renew his contract with the team, did not continue his vacation, but stayed at the Stobelari training center.

Borussia Dortmund will have an even bigger challenge next season, as he will have to get his body back to the right form to play as soon as possible.

According to the plan, the team will regroup on July 10 to prepare for the German Super Cup at the Bayer Arena in the second half of the year.

And before that, Dortmund still have the Telecom Cup to play.

The format of the Telecom Cup is rather bizarre, with only half an hour each in the first and second halves, which does not mean much to the participating teams.

Even if there is, it will only play the role of training and running-in, because no one will inject too much energy here.

Before Borussia Dortmund gathered for the 2011-2012 season, the official Dortmund website announced the signing of two newcomers, the 21-year-old Nuremberg midfield core for 4 million euros.

The other is Chemnitz's Lowe who joined for only 200,000 euros.

This transfer is very targeted, and with captain Dede out of his contract and free to leave, it is time to find a replacement for Schmelzer.

In the summer of 2011, Dortmund's overall framework did not change much, only tinkering with the various lines, even if the departure of Shahin, one of the most played players last season, did not have much impact on manager Jurgen Klopp.

While Tang Zheng was training alone at the Stobelari Training Center, his business agent, Chen Jia, also used his connections to absorb advertisements as much as possible.

The French shampoo brand Qingyang has a lot of interest in Tang Zheng, and they intend to sign a commercial endorsement contract with Tang Zheng.

Unlike Cristiano Ronaldo, the number one star in the global promotion, Tang Zheng's publicity efforts are limited to Asia, specifically China.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo has a huge fan base in China, he is not as recognized as Tang Zheng in China compared to Tang Zheng, so Qingyang's senior management hopes to sign Tang Zheng and completely open up the Chinese market.

The two sides hit it off!

Tang Zheng didn't ask about the specific details, he only needed to attend the press conference and sign his name in the contract.

Two million euros per year, and the two parties sign a two-plus-one endorsement contract.

Subsequently, Nike, a sports equipment supplier, very much hoped to renew Tang Zheng's contract with only one and a half years left, but Chen Jia did not see Nike's sincerity to Tang Zheng at all.

Tang Zheng has improved significantly in these two seasons, winning the European Golden Boy Award in 2009, being the best newcomer in the Bundesliga in 2010, ranking in the top three of the best players, and he was named the best player of the season by the Bundesliga official this summer.

Dortmund was able to win the treble in the past 2010-2011 season, which is directly related to Tang Zheng.

And he is only 22 years old this year, and the famous German website "Transfermarkt" has also come to the estimated price of 45 million euros.

The renewal price offered by Coke is only 2.5 million euros a year, an increase of 15% per year, and the two parties will renew the contract until 2016.

This is far from the minimum of 4 million euros in Chen Jia's mind and an annual increase of 20%, so the contract renewal negotiations between the two sides have reached a stalemate.

Chen Jia is not worried about this.

Tang Zheng has performed well in the Bundesliga, and the local German sports brands Adidas and Puma are looking at it, and they are also trying to poach Nike and sign Tang Zheng, but the price has not yet been negotiated.

At the beginning of July, Chen Jia brought two good news to Tang Zheng in the United States, the famous beverage supplier Coca-Cola was willing to sign a contract with Tang Zheng for 1.2 million euros a year for two years.

The other is Xuanmai chewing gum, which is 1 million euros a year and is signed for two years.

This price is not very high, but it is not low, you must know that Yao Ming's Coca-Cola endorsement fee was only one million dollars a year.

Whether it is Qingyang shampoo, Coca-Cola, or Xuanmai chewing gum, Chen Jia did not let Tang Zheng sign for more than two years, because she was optimistic about Tang Zheng's sports career prospects.

She firmly believes that in the near future, Tang Zheng's market attraction will be stronger!

In the blink of an eye, Dortmund's pre-season training time for the 2011-2012 season arrived.

With the exception of Barrios, who was going to represent Paraguay in the Copa America, the rest of the team returned.

On the day of returning to the team, many players showed signs of losing shape, but Tang Zheng, his figure was maintained very well, just like the start of the league.

When Hummels saw Tang Zheng, who was in good shape, at the Stobelari training center, he exclaimed: "Oh-My-God! What are you kidding? This summer, you are making endorsements everywhere to make money, and your figure is not out of shape? It's so unscientific!"

Others, like Sven Bender, Schmelzer, and Lewandowski, did not speak, but their expressions betrayed their ideas.

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and gave a contemptuous look: "I have been working hard for half a month at the Stobelari Training Center, and I still insist on high-intensity training every day, how can it be like you?

Only then did everyone give an expression that was exactly like this......

Pirlo, who came to the Stobelari training center early, nodded secretly when he saw Tang Zheng, who was in good shape.

He knows that there is nothing wrong with choosing this summer!

In accordance with the club's past practice, on the day of the training camp, manager Jurgen Klopp introduced the new players to the returning players.

Among these new signings, the most striking is undoubtedly former AC Milan star Andrea Pirlo, who joined Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer this summer.

"Welcome!"

Tang Zheng walked up to Pirlo and gave him a big hug.

Immediately, Tang Zheng gave Gundogan, the core of the former Nuremberg midfield, a hug: "Don't be restrained, everyone will be brothers in the future!"

Dede left Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer this summer, and the first captain naturally became Sebastian Kehl, but he has a more reserved personality and likes to keep a low profile, so the matter of welcoming new signings fell to Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng and Pirlo have known each other for a long time, and they have chatted many times since working on social networks, and he is mainly responsible for the somewhat introverted Gundogan.

Moreover, Pirlo is a football veteran, and he is not at all like Gundogan, who is born in the 90s, who needs others to take the initiative to speed up the pace of integration into the team.

Another point is that Gundogan is most likely unable to play the main force when he comes to the team, with Sven Bender, Kyle and Pirlo in the back position, and Tang Zheng can also play in the back midfield, but he was pulled to the front position most of the time last season, which means that Gundogan can only play one rotation at most this season.

It's also a hassle to get from a small team to a big team, and you have to get used to it slowly.

Before the official start of the 2011-2012 Bundesliga season, in addition to the Telecom Cup and the German Super Cup, Dortmund did not warm up against opponents, but comprehensively focused on the physical recovery and strengthening of players.

At the same time, with the arrival of Andrea Pirlo, Jurgen Klopp's team tactics have changed somewhat.

Pirlo's ability is unquestionable, so he has to develop a set of tactics for Tang Zheng without affecting his performance.

Tang Zheng often likes to return to the midfield to take the ball and organize the attack when the front court is restricted, and Pirlo is the kind of player who is good at combing the attack.

In this way, the functions of the two overlap somewhat, which is equivalent to a waste.

Previously, Shahin's personality and age had given up on performance, but Pirlo couldn't be treated like this, and he had to pay attention to it!

Unless, the state is really declining very seriously.

"Headache!"

Klopp's index fingers rubbed his temples together.

Borussia Dortmund's first match after the regrouping was the Telecom Cup at the Allianz Arena.

The Telecom Cup is a tournament sponsored by German telecommunications giant T-Home, and three teams are invited each year in addition to Bayern, with Dortmund, Mainz and Hamburg this year.

Unlike the regular competition, the whole game of the Telecom Cup has a total of 60 minutes, that is, half an hour for each half, if the winner cannot be determined in 60 minutes, then it will go directly to three penalty shootouts until the winner is decided.

Matches like these, which can only serve as a test of summer signings and grind-in players, are not very concerned about the teams, and Dortmund has sent a large number of substitutes and young players.

The same was true for Mainz, who were drawn against Borussia Dortmund, but Jurgen Klopp led the starting line-up in order to test the coexistence of Tang Zheng and Pirlo.

So Yang 5 commentator He Wei joked when he saw the starting lineup: "Dortmund is a complete bully!"

Tang Zheng was the best player in the Bundesliga last season, with 20+ goals and assists, and Pirlo is a famous star.

With the advantage of the playmaking attack, Dortmund defeated Mainz 2-0 and advanced to the final.

Although the game was won, Klopp had a headache.

Before the start of the game, Klopp's tactical arrangement was very clear, but Tang Zheng has been accustomed to retreating to organize the attack under the key instructions in the past two seasons, and he can't change it for a while.

Tang Zheng's retreat will inevitably affect Pirlo's play.

In the other semi-final, Bayern Munich lost 1:2 to Hamburg.

A day later, the final of the 2011 Telecom Cup was played again at the Allianz Arena.

Jurgen Klopp tried to put Tang Zheng on the bench temporarily, with Gotze taking his place, with Pirlo partnering captain Kyle.

The process of the game is obviously much smoother than the last game, and even more fluid than last season's game.

This...... It's Pirlo's ability!

But Klopp couldn't let Tang Zheng sit on the bench, not to mention that the fans didn't agree, and the club's senior management didn't agree.

Bundesliga top salary, play as a substitute?

And Tang Zheng's ability is fine, but he doesn't call Pirlo for the time being.

In the second half, Tang Zheng replaced Pirlo, and the fluency of the game may not be as good as Pirlo's presence, but it was more aggressive.

In the end, Dortmund defeated Hamburg 3-1 in the final to win the third edition of the Telecom Cup.

After the Telecom Cup, Dortmund prepare for the 2011 German Super Cup.

As a result of their domestic double last season, they grew up in the German Super Cup against Bayer Leverkusen, who finished second in the league last season.

The venue for the competition is the Bayer Arena.

During the three days of actively preparing for the Super Cup, Klopp can be described as racking his brains.

In his heart, the coexistence of Tang Zheng and Pirlo is no less difficult than the coexistence of the England national team.

In fact, in the final analysis, Tang Zheng is too comprehensive.

It's okay if the ability is too comprehensive, the problem is that every aspect is done well.

Throughout the 2010-2011 season, Tang Zheng was the midfielder with the most goals in Europe and the player with the most assists in Europe.

No matter which coach you are, you can't ignore Tang Zheng's abilities.

On the eve of the German Super Cup, Klopp relented to the next best option, with a clear division of labor between the two, and the well water did not interfere with the river water.

Tang Zheng concentrated on attacking in midfield, while Pirlo was responsible for tandem, combing and transferring long passes.

However, the German Super Cup at the Bayer Arena has a new problem, which is the lack of activity brought about by Pirlo's age.

Without Tang Zheng's retreat, Pirlo would not have been able to take on the pressure.

The Bundesliga emphasizes physical confrontation, not to mention that Pirlo is over 32 years old, his physical confrontation ability is not strong, and he can only comb the attack through passing.

As a result, with him heavily targeted, Dortmund's attack could not be carried out smoothly.

Bayer Leverkusen, playing at home, played very strategically, and Dortmund conceded the first goal away from home!

The coexistence of Tang Zheng and Pirlo must be solved!
