Born in 1990, Ilkaitgundogan is a near-perfect midfielder with a height of 1.8 meters and a weight of 78 kilograms. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The player arrived at Nuremberg at the age of 18 and had his first assist against Bayern Munich and then his maiden goal against Bayern Munich for the second time that year, and he made a strong impression against Schalke this season, which is why Magath wanted to buy this man in the first place.

The second reason is because Gundogan was born in Gelsenkirchen, he wants to leave Nuremberg this year in the hope of a change of environment, he is not willing to play with Nuremberg in the second division, only in this way can he be closer to the national team, and he is not only interested in Schalke 04, but also their sworn enemy Dortmund, so Magath will talk to them personally.

Football has always been a sport with a strong sense of regionality, fans have a sense of belonging to their team, and the same is true for players, no one will refuse to play for their parent club, not to mention that Schalke is still the champion of the Bundesliga, which is more attractive than Dortmund.

'We'd love to see you join Schalke and you see that we're a youth team and players like you are used by us, so you don't have to worry about your age being an obstacle for you to compete for the main players on the pitch. Magath said to the elder Gundogan, who was his son's agent.

Although the old Gundogan is a Turkish immigrant, he has also stayed in Gelsenkirchen for decades, and naturally has an indescribable sense of intimacy with Schalke, and has long regarded himself as a Gelsenkirchen, but Gundogan did not join Schalke for various reasons, which is also a matter of regret for both father and son, and now he will naturally be moved when he hears this.

"What I want to ask is, what are Schalke's goals for next year?"

Magath laughed, "I can tell you for sure that Ai Fan will stay in the team, he has already bought a house in Gelsenkirchen, which can definitely soothe people's hearts." He paused for a moment before he added, "With Ai Huan, our goal is always to win the championship, last season we were a double, this season we are aiming for a treble." ”

"Treble?" Gundogan Sr. couldn't help but stand up for a moment, and then sat down and barely stabilized the surging enthusiasm in his heart, "So how do you want to use Gundogan? You know, he is the heart of the midfield at Nuremberg, and he doesn't like the wing very much, although he can play on the wing." ”

Magath knew there was a door, and immediately smiled and said: "I hope Ilkaj can also be the heart of Schalke's midfield, you only have to watch last year's game to know that I am not joking." ”

Almost at the same time, Magath's assistant coach Rolf was doing the same thing in London. Last year's first assistant coach Eichkorn left the club due to health reasons, and now Rolf has been promoted to the position of chief assistant coach, and today he faces Demba Ba.

Demba Ba was born in France in 1985, but his nationality is Senegal, which is also because of the strong strength of the French national team, and if you want to participate in the World Cup, you can only choose a weaker country to play. He started his career in the French second division and played for Belgium, but it was at Hoffenheim that really made him famous, where he spent four years and made a huge contribution to the team, but last winter he was sold to West Ham United due to a conflict with Hoffenheim's hierarchy, but to his surprise West Ham United were relegated in just six months, which led to his desire to leave here immediately to find the next place to live.

This year was really not smooth for Demba Ba, he had two conflicts with others, which also caused his reputation to plummet, and now he can't even find a home, and this time Schalke's visit also surprised him, but he was also very happy.

After all, he has played in Germany for the longest time in his career, so he has long been very comfortable with life in Germany, and after a sudden transfer to the United Kingdom, he also feels not very comfortable in all aspects, and now when he heard that he has the opportunity to return to the Bundesliga and go to the Bundesliga champion Schalke, he is immediately moved.

However, he still has to ask about his use, after all, Schalke still has players like Raul and Farfan, and whether he can get the corresponding opportunities there is his biggest question: "Do I want to be a substitute for Raul? I know Raul has been playing well with you, I would like to know how you are going to use me?"

Rolf laughed, "Raul is a very important player for us, but there is one thing that must be explained, because of his age and competitive condition, he can only be used as a substitute this year, but can you give you the main position, you still need to fight for it, what do you think?"

Demba Ba didn't speak immediately, but he had already begun to think about what it would be like to cooperate with Ai Phantom next year, you must know that he had also fought with Ai Phantom this year, and at that time he had thought about what it would be like if he had the opportunity to cooperate with this person, but he didn't expect that it would be only half a year, and the dream would come true.

"Okay, don't you look down on me? Then I'll go back now, I'm going to show all those who once despised me, who is the real killer, I'm Demba Ba back!"

However, it doesn't always go so well, for example, the next day Rolf went to see Hargreaves, which turned out to be disappointing. Hargreaves is also a very well-known all-round midfielder who made a name for himself and later moved to Manchester United with Bayern Munich, but he has been plagued by injuries since his first season, so this man is also known as the Glass Man.

Magath didn't wonder if this player could be in good shape, but given that he has always been in good shape at Bayern, it can be inferred that at least in Germany he is still more adaptable, so it is also a good choice to buy such a player.

But to Schalke's disappointment, Hargreaves rejected the offer outright, making it clear that he wanted to stay in England and that he liked Manchester wanting to retire here.
