This incident in June 2007 is still very impressive for Chinese football, especially for Chinese football 'fans', even after many years.

Before the start of the Asian Cup, Yang Fanbei, the new Bundesliga golden boot, was called up to the Chinese national team, which made Chinese football 'fans' rejoice, and they were optimistic about the prospects of the national team in this Asian Cup.

However, what happened next made them stunned and even 'dazzled'.

First, the Football Association announced that Yang Fan would be permanently expelled from the national team and any national team at any level, on the grounds that Yang Fan had beaten his teammates in training.

The media and football 'fans' were very indignant, and began to criticize Yang Fan overwhelmingly.

Subsequently, Yang Fan, who was 'unbearable', took out evidence to prove that even he was innocent, and bombarded the Chinese Football Association for reversing black and white. said that it was his teammates of the national team who first blacked him before he started beating people.

Public opinion was in an uproar, and the media and football 'fans' immediately questioned and criticized the Chinese Football Association and the real perpetrators.

At this time, the Chinese Football Association flatly denied the matter and insisted that the evidence provided by Yang Fan was fake. Take ostrich tactics to the extreme.

Yang Fan and the Chinese Football Association had a complete falling out, and the talented young man angrily said that the national team's expulsion of him was a loss for the national team, and angrily said that he disdained to enter the national team.

Subsequently, Yang Fan returned to Europe, and the Chinese national team also went to Malaysia to prepare for the upcoming Asian Cup.

However, at this time, the whole country was pessimistic, and no one thought that the national team that had just experienced such 'infighting' would be able to achieve good results in the Asian Cup. However, the Chinese Football Association still shouted the slogan of 'reaching the semi-finals of the Asian Cup', and it is said that there are insider sources who say that this is a death order from the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China to the Chinese Football Association, requiring them to use their 'colorful' results to win the hearts of the football 'fans' and divert the negative impact of the 'Yang Fan incident' on the national team.

Before going to Malaysia, the captain of the national team, Zhen Zheng, also expressed his position on behalf of the whole team that he must live up to the expectations of the football 'fans', play good results, and play the consistent style of the national team. At the same time, Zhen Zheng also angrily reprimanded Yang Fan for slandering him, and resolutely supported the national team's decision to expel Yang Fan from the team!

Of course, this qiē has nothing to do with Yang Fan for the time being, he has returned to Europe, and for him now, the most important thing is to handle his transfer affairs as much as possible and determine his future.

Just as he was on his way to the Continent on a plane at a height of 10,000 miles, something changed on the side of the Wolfsburg club.

※※※※※※※

The reason why Wolfsburg was able to come up with 20 million pounds to compete for Yang Fan is because half of the money was taken by Volkswagen, the team's sponsor. Volkswagen is the backstage boss of Wolfsburg, and with such a big tree, it is naturally good to enjoy the shade.

In 2006/2007, Wolfsburg miraculously finished in the top five of the league and qualified for the UEFA Cup next season.

This is exciting for the Volkswagen hierarchy, who are also looking forward to more for the new season of this team. They hoped that Wolfsburg would be able to make a 'distinction' and further expand Volkswagen's influence. Now, everyone knows that Volkswagen is behind Wolfsburg, and if the team doesn't look good, it doesn't have a good image of the old car powerhouse.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wolfsburg's performance in the past season has made these shareholders very motivated.

In such a situation, Volkswagen's senior management asked professionals to consult with Wolfsburg, and came up with a report of more than 100 pages, in which Wolfsburg has a more detailed plan for the youth training system, to the configuration of players, and the reinforcements that may be needed.

Subsequently, Steve Taylor, Volkswagen's senior official in charge of things at the Wolfsburg club, convened an internal meeting of the club's top management.

At the meeting, Volkswagen stated that it would continue to support the Wolfsburg club. Subsequently, they took out the thick report, saying that after the analysis of their professionals, the biggest weakness that restricts the development of Wolfsburg is now the head coach Klaus Ogenthaler.

As soon as this remark came out, club manager Fox was more surprised, but he looked at the calm expression of the club chairman Sander and knew that the club chairman must have known about this matter in advance.

During last season's winter break, when Wolfsburg was in the relegation zone, Sander was interested in sacking Ogenthaler and finding another manager.

It's just because Fox supports giving Organthaler a little more time, and then, Organthaler's savior came, because Yang Fan's 'color' performance saved Organthaler's position.

Fox also doesn't think Sander will bring up the change of head coach again, but it doesn't seem that to be the case now. It is clear that the president of the club is still skeptical about Augenthaler's coaching ability.

The club's shareholders, sponsors, and the club's president don't trust Organthaler very much, and Fox had no choice but to shut up, knowing that it was inevitable that Organthhaler would be taken down.

Moreover, after reading the analysis report on Wolfsburg FC, even Fox had to admit that Organthaler was indeed not a coach who could lead Wolfsburg to greater success, and if it weren't for Yang Fan's appearance, he would have been fired half a year ago.

In this analysis report, it is said that if there is no Yang Fan, and Augenthaler continues to lead Wolfsburg, based on the analysis of Augenthaler's winning rate of coaching Wolfsburg, the probability of Wolfsburg's relegation is as high as 93%!

And even now, with the possibility of continuing to have Yang Fan, the club's hierarchy is still skeptical that Organthal will be able to make good use of Yang Fan in his second season, and how to deal with how the team will play when Yang Fan is out injured.

Last season's table has shown that once Yang Fan is injured or Yang Fan's form occasionally fluctuates, Wolfsburg will not play at all, and Organthaler has no way to do anything at all.

In this regard, Volkswagen's top management gave a statement that it was Yang Fan, a young man, who saved Wolfsburg last season, not Augenthaler. Therefore, the attitude of the sponsors is that Yang Fan must be won, and Augenthaler is no longer suitable for Wolfsburg, which has 'big ambitions'.

The fact that the club is doing well and the manager is about to be sacked is not news in football, and Organthaler is not the first to receive such treatment, nor will he be the last.

Wolfsburg's sporting manager, Fox, was a little gloomy, knowing that the real reason for Ogenthaler's departure was because the club's performance in the first half of the season was so bad, and it was at that time that Ogenthaler lost the trust of the club's president, Sander. Otherwise, even if the Volkswagen management is not satisfied with Augenthaler, as long as Wolfsburg club chairman Sander clearly expresses his support for Augenthaler, at least the club will not fire Augenthaler now, but will continue to give Augenthaler half a season to observe after the start of the new season.

The only thing that makes Fox somewhat satisfied is that Volkswagen has expressed its full support for the team to win Yang Fan, and if 20 million euros is not enough, Volkswagen is willing to continue to provide about 5 million euros.

The contents of this meeting at the top of the Wolfsburg club were learned by Augenthaler that evening. It was the club's sports manager, Fox, who informed him, and he didn't want to know how this dude died.

Augenthaler's anger can be imagined. At this time, he was on vacation in Sardinia. At the end of the season, Organthaler was in a good mood, the team had an almost miraculous half of the season, the team reached the League Cup, which made Organthaler 'spring' proud, and the story of his loan of Yang Fan from Newcastle for zero value was also rumored to be a good talk in German football for a while.

Of course, and most importantly, Augenthaler is convinced that next season's results for Wolfsburg are worth looking forward to, and he already has a preliminary outline in his mind about the blueprint for next season. He also thought about his goals in the transfer market, and when the rest of the days were over, he would immediately get back to work.

Augenthaler is full of enthusiasm and feels that he can lead Wolfsburg to continue to achieve great results.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly received a phone call that the club planned to fire him and hire another Gao Ming.

Tell me, can he not be angry?

At this time, Organthaler realized that things were not without a little clue, his contract with Wolfsburg expired in one year, but the club did not immediately talk to him about the renewal of the contract after the end of the season, because the season had just ended, the team was on vacation, and Augenthaler did not think deeply about it, at this time, he realized that at that time, the club's senior management may have the idea of changing the head coach.

This behavior of the club made Augenthaler feel that it was a betrayal.

He immediately called and communicated with his agent, who had obviously just gotten the news and was angry on the phone.

After the outrage, Augenthaler began to discuss his future with his agent.

Under such circumstances, Yang Fan's flight arrived in London, from which he would take the train to Newcastle. He needs to clarify Newcastle's attitude before making a decision, and from what his agent Baker has learned, Newcastle is ready to nod to Wolfsburg's 20 million pound offer. However, the specific situation is not yet known.

When it comes to his future, Yang Fan does not dare to be careless. He had to think carefully before making his own decision.
