Rupert can't be blamed for saying that, because the ratings of this game are plummeting, and even at the Signal Park Stadium in Iduna, a small number of fans chose to leave the stadium because the game was so bad that it was not to be watched. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the moment, both the fans in the stadium and the fans in front of the TV series felt that Bild's analysis of Dortmund was correct, and that coach Tuchel had indeed gone wrong in terms of running in the squad this season.

At the same time, before the start of the game, in an office of the Dortmund club, two Dortmund club bigwigs were talking in a whisper: the CEO Watzke, who is responsible for the daily operation and management of the club, and Zorke, the sports director who is responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the team.

"Zolke, the team's situation has not been good lately!" Watzke was the first to speak.

"Yes, boss, it's true, injuries have affected the team!" Zorge replied.

"The current situation of the team gives me a sense of crisis...... I feel like the team is back in 14/15......" Watzke said with a solemn expression.

In the 14/15 season, Dortmund encountered an unprecedented crisis, the team not only lost early in the Champions League, but also faced relegation in the league, if it were not for the miraculous reversal in the last few games, Dortmund would have been relegated to the second division again since 1971/72, which is why Dortmund chose to fire the meritorious coach Klopp.

The reason for the club's performance decline is the team's injury situation. In the 14/15 season, Borussia Dortmund suffered an unprecedented wave of injuries, and at the height of the injuries in the team, they could not even make up a starting eleven, and finally had to recruit young players from the youth team.

The reason for the large number of injuries is related to Klopp's tactics. Due to Klopp's tactics with a strong emphasis on running, many players were seriously overdrawn in the intensive schedule, which eventually led to overwork and injury lists.

'Tuchel's tactics are different from those of Jurgen Klopp, but they are the same in terms of the emphasis on movement, so the team's fitness has been at a bottleneck this season after last season's attrition, and the players have suffered a lot of injuries recently, which is why......,' Zorc explained.

'I think we've got another Klopp and while I admire Tuchel's quality in charge, we could face the same situation this season as we did in 14/15...... 'Watzke looked worried.

"Boss, it's not as serious as you think, but it needs to be prevented in advance, and rotation is the key to solving this problem...... Zolke advises.

'In addition to injuries, I think there were some problems with our signings, with Gotze and Schurrle not playing up ......to expectations,' Watzke continued.

"That's true, Schurrle is because of the injury, and Gotze is because of the form, neither of them has the strength to match their value...... Zolke replied.

"Now a lot of media have started to criticize our two bad signings, and I think someone should be responsible for this......" Watzke's face was gloomy.

"Boss, I understand......" Zolke nodded.

Although the Dortmund club is currently in charge of Watzke and Zorke, the club is a membership system after all, and they still have a chairman above their heads, as well as a board of directors, if they really want to be held accountable, Watzke and Zolke can't bear it, but they really don't need to take full responsibility for this matter, because Schurrle and Gotze are brought in by them, but they are the list of reinforcements proposed by Tuchel's coach.

"Zolke, what do you think about Pang winning the European Golden Boy Award and signing Mendes?" Watzke asked.

"I think Pang won the European Golden Boy Award, we should vigorously publicize, after all, this is the second European golden boy out of the team, it is very helpful for us to expand our influence in Europe, and can help us attract more young talents to join, so we should invest some money to let the media continue to promote this ......matter," Zolke said eloquently, "As for Pang signing Mendes, I don't think we should be too nervous, after all, this is the player's own right, we have no right to interfere, But we still have four years left on our contract with Pang, so we have the initiative no matter who Pang's agent is......"

"Regarding the promotion of Mendes, I agree, after all, Pang is now a Dortmund player, and promoting him is tantamount to promoting the club...... "Regarding Pang signing Mendes, I think we take it seriously, Mendes is very influential in Europe, it is not so easy to deal with, and there has been a lot of transfer news about Pang recently, which is not good news for us......

"The transfer rumors about Pang are all speculation by reporters, and there is nothing to worry about. I'm worried about Tuchel's relationship with Pom, you know, he's always disliked Poon......" Zolke said helplessly.

'The new European Golden Boy winner, he doesn't like it, and the players he has recommended himself don't help the team, Tuchel's confidence is too big now...... "Watzke is a little annoyed.

"He's at odds with me now, and you know why, because I rejected a couple of players that he was going to bring in, but as you can see, some of the players he's going to bring in are really not ......reliable," Zolke explained.

'It's normal for you to have a conflict with Tuchel, almost all the teams in the Bundesliga have a conflict with the sporting director and manager now, but the conflict between Tuchel and Pang has to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be easy to do when Mendes visits...... The European golden boy can't play the main team in the team, and if we say it, the media won't be on our side......" Vacsk instructed.

'I've spoken to Thomas Tuchel many times about Pang, but Coach Tuchel has been disobedient and I don't have a good way to do it, after all, I can't interfere with his ......specific work,' said Zolke.

'Tuchel is still too young and there are a couple of managers who can control the transfer rights of a team and he wants to...... Hey, that's whimsical...... "Watzke was furious.

"So what to do?" Zorke asked quietly.

"If you continue to talk to him about this, just say it's the club's decision!" Watzke said.

"Okay," Zolke sighed.

'If there is a breakthrough in the team's results this season, we will complete a third year with Tuchel on his contract, and if the results are worse than last year, we will sack him at the end of the season!' Watzke whispered, "I don't think Tuchel is as good as Jurgen Klopp......".

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door, and a few seconds later, Sarah, the secretary of the Wattske, walked in.

"Mr. Watzke, Mr. Mendez is visiting!" Sara said.

"Ah, so fast?" Watzke was a little surprised, but quickly calmed down: "Okay, Sarah, I know, you invite him to the club's parlor, and we'll go right over!" ”

"I remember the broker contract that Pang signed with Mendes last night, but I didn't expect him to visit him before 24 hours had passed......" Zolke was also surprised.

"Zolke, you come with me to meet Mendes......" Watzke looked serious.

When the two came to the club's living room, Mendez and his assistant were sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room.

"Hey, Mr. Mendes, welcome to the Dortmund club......" Watzke greeted Mendes as soon as he entered the door, and Mendes stood up, and the two walked towards each other, finally holding hands together.

"Mr. Watzke, it's a pleasure to meet you." Mendez had a smile on his face.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, both of them saw respect in each other's eyes. It's also easy to understand that Watzke is also at the helm of the second largest club in the Bundesliga, not to mention Mendes, who is a guest of many European giants, so the two expressed mutual respect as soon as they met.

"This is our club's sporting director, Zolke, who is in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the team and the transfer of players, and I think Mr. Mendes will definitely have to deal with Mr. Zorke in the future......" Watzke said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Mendez"

"Hello, Mr. Zolke"

The two shook hands with each other and knew each other.

"Mr. Mendes, I didn't expect you to come to visit our Dortmund club, it's an unexpected surprise!" Watzke said with a smile.

"Today's visit is a bit presumptuous, and I ask Mr. Watzke's forgiveness." Mendez smiled and said, "I was going to come over next week for a formal visit, but something happened suddenly today, so I decided to come here temporarily......"

"Mr. Mendez, what happened to make you change your mind?" Watzk was curious.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I read today's Bild, and the newspaper said that my client, the new European golden boy, can't play in the team, so I came over to ask about the situation...... Mendes continued to smile.

After hearing Mendes's words, the smile on Watzke's face disappeared, and he knew that there must be nothing good about Mendez coming, and this would not be a good thing.

"Mr. Mendes, don't believe what the newspapers say, it's all fake news. How could Pang not be the main player, he is now an important player in the team, and Pang has just won the European golden boy, and now he is an important player for our Dortmund club......" Zolke hurriedly explained.

"I was relieved to hear Mr. Zolke say that. As you know, I just became Pang's agent, so I'm very concerned about Pang's current situation! Mendes said with a smile, "Pang has just won the European Golden Boy Award, he is such a talented player, I think it would be incredible if Pang could not play in the main team at the club......

"Mr. Mendes, rest assured, Pang is a player we bought for 30 million euros and we will not waste the ...... of his football talent," Watzke said.

"Since Mr. Watzke and Mr. Zolke have denied the news in the newspaper, then I am relieved......" Mendes said with a smile, "You may not know, I have been following Pang for a long time, he is really very talented in football, I have always wanted to sign him, but unfortunately I never had the chance, until last night I got my wish, in my eyes, I think Pang will be the next superstar......"

Hearing Mendes praise the fat man so much, Watzke and Zolke are also very happy, after all, the fat man is now a player of Dortmund, and the higher the fat man's achievements in the future, Dortmund's income will also rise.

"Mr. Mendes, in fact we think the same way, otherwise we wouldn't have spent a lot of money on Pang ......," Watzke continued, "We have one of the best training facilities in Germany and we have produced a lot of well-known stars, so playing at Borussia Dortmund is definitely going to be a very good opportunity to grow......

"I believe in you, Mr. Watzke. Your club has signed a number of promising young players this year, and they have all improved a lot. "Actually, I have a lot of clients in the Portuguese Super League, and they are all young people with great potential, including Portuguese players, Brazilian players, and some players from Latin America, they are all very talented, and I believe that we will have the opportunity to work together in the future......

The more the three of them chatted, the more speculative they became, and they had the feeling of hating each other. Due to the club's limited financial resources, Dortmund is unable to buy famous stars as aggressively as Bayern, but some of the young talents who are just emerging, Dortmund can still afford to buy. Although Mendes has well-known stars such as Ronaldo, J Ronaldo, Falcao, and Di Maria, there are also many young players, and there is indeed the possibility of cooperation between the two.

While the three of them were chatting happily, Sara appeared again.

"Mr. Watzke, the Dortmund game is about to start, do you want to watch the game today?" Sara asked.

When Zolke heard Sara's words, he was a little nervous, and he quickly gave Watzke a look, but Watzke didn't see it at all, and his attention was now completely focused on Mendes.

"Turn on the TV, Sarah, I'm going to watch the game with Mr. Mendes and let him see the young players in our team as well, they have so much potential and there will definitely be a lot of them who can grow into well-known ......stars in the future," Watzke exclaimed.

When Sara turned on the TV, the match between the two teams was about to begin, and the players of both teams were entering the stadium, and the commentators Dicker and Rupert were announcing the starters of both teams.

Watzke was originally very excited, but when he found out that there was no new European golden boy in the starting list of Dortmund announced by the two commentators, his face suddenly looked a little unpleasant. He had just assured Mendes that the European golden boy was an important player for Dortmund, but now he did not see the shadow of the European golden boy, which made him very embarrassed.

"Zolke, what's going on? Didn't Pang recover from his injury, why didn't he start? Watzke asked in a whisper.

'It's from injury, but Tuchel coaches him...... Didn't he dislike Pang......" Zolke whispered helplessly.

"Damn it......" Watzke was angry, he didn't know what to do with Mendes, it was so humiliating for him.

Watzke was very worried that Mendes would bring up the fat man again, because he really didn't know how to answer. However, Mendes didn't seem to notice that the new European golden boy did not play, and watched the game with relish.

Seeing that Mendes didn't mention Pong, Watzke's heart gradually calmed down. But the next game made him angry. He thought that Dortmund would crush Union Berlin at his home stadium, but he didn't expect it to be the case at all, the ace division in his heart played very chaotically, and there was no advantage in the face of the German second division team Union Berlin.

When Larsson scored an own goal near the end of the first half, Watzke's face darkened, and it was a shame for Watzke to rely on his players to take the lead. Watzke found himself hating Tuchel as much as he did today.

'Tuchel's level of coaching is nothing short of dog-skimming, it's the worst half-game I've seen for Borussia Dortmund......' Watzke is breathing fire mentally.

When the moment came at the end of the first half, Mendes also stood up.

"Mr. Watzke, I'd love to say that there are a lot of talented youngsters in your squad, and they're doing so well that my client, the new European golden boy, doesn't get a chance to start......" Mendes said calmly, "but that's not the case, my client is not treated with the respect he deserves, and he is still on the bench by your manager......"

'Don't get me wrong, Mr Mendes, Pom didn't start, probably because coach Tuchel was worried about his health, after all, Pang has just recovered ......from injury,' Zorke hastened to explain.

"Mr. Zolke, I know what you said is true, so I won't say anything this time...... Mendes said calmly, "I hope that the next time I visit, my clients can be treated fairly, and I don't want my first cooperation with Dortmund in the future to be about the transfer and departure of the new European golden boy......"
