Chapter 2: The Great Robbery!
"Goodbye, Mainz"
"Goodbye to my beloved Mainz, at the beginning of my career, I didn't expect to stay in Mainz for so many years, nor did I think I would be able to achieve such an achievement with the team. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I still remember the first time I came to Mainz, and I will never forget it.
All the clubs in Europe refused to try out a big bamboo pole with a thin body, and my father and I came to Lepp with the only 300 euros left on the return journey.
Kaiserslautern was the last stop at my planned destination.
But they didn't value me.
It's hard to imagine how an Asian can gain a foothold in Europe, where my father spent enough money to develop a young player, almost all of his savings for the first half of his life, in order to sell my abilities in Europe.
When I had no choice, I thought of Mainz in Lepp, and I didn't realise that it was a great team or that it would become my second home.
Jurgen Klopp and Coach Belcollin tried out on me on the training pitch and gave me the chance to stay.
The rest of the story, everyone knows.
One fan once told me that Mainz had not pursued a championship for many years.
I told him that the Mainz team has been chasing the championship since the day it was born, but the time has not yet come.
, German Cup, league treble, UEFA Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Champions League, we won almost every trophy we could.
In contemporary times, the media see it as a replica of the great history of the great teams of the past.
And I am confident that Mainz will embark on the path of building a big club and, as it has done for the past 100 years, will eventually become one of the strongest teams in the hearts of the fans.
And this is the time for me to leave.
Here, I would like to say a word of thanks to Chairman StrΓΆnz and Manager Heidel for taking care of me over the years, they did not force me to leave, on the contrary, they made enough concessions on my transfer.
I deeply felt that I didn't deserve this glory and treatment, but they loved me as much as every Mainz fan does.
In this environment, I grew up with the team step by step.
Sometimes, I really want to stay in Mainz for the rest of my life.
However, when I was younger, I had some dreams and when I helped the team win the Champions League, I felt it was time to pursue my dreams.
I used to promise everybody that when I left, I would tell the fans, the leaders, and everybody, not through the media to let everyone know that I was gone.
It's something I can do, not much.
I'm still a child of Mainz, and I'm still a member of Mainz, forever.
Perhaps, in many years, I will return to Mainz in another capacity and devote myself to the construction of Mainz.
But now, it's time to say goodbye.
Allow me to say again, I love you dearly, Mainz, I love you dearly, every Mainz fan!
A child who is about to leave home: Wang Zhen. β
The article, published in the Mainz Zeitung, was reprinted.
The reporter also interviewed on the streets, asking everyone what they thought of Wang Zhen's departure.
The streets of Mainz are still decorated with flags from the May celebrations.
A fan pulled out the flag and was about to turn away, when the reporter stepped forward: "Excuse me, why did you pull out the flag of celebration, is it because you are angry at Wang Zhen's departure?" β
The fan turned around and glanced at the reporter: "No, I'm ready to plant the flag for another champion." "At the end of August, the UEFA Super Cup is coming.
The reporter didn't believe that the Mainz fans were indifferent to Wang Zhen's departure, so he continued to interview more people.
Eventually, by chance, the journalist walked into a bar, a gathering place for Mainz fans.
When the reporter went in, he saw some fans who did not look so good-looking were drinking.
In terms of dress, the reporter is not sure whether they are Mainz fans or not, but in the Twin Cities, almost everyone is a Mainz fan, although not necessarily a Mainz member.
The reporter casually found a young man wearing glasses and asked: "Hello, what do you think of Wang Zhen's departure?" β
The young man took a sip of stout, then placed his glass on the table: "Please be honored as the captain." β
"Well, excuse me, what do you think about the departure of the Captain Mainz team?"
"The king went out for a walk, but he was still the king, and the king who left the palace, even if he didn't bring the crown, would not become an ordinary person."
This reporter suffered numerous deflated during the interview.
If a superstar who has been cultivated by a big ball leaves, I am afraid that most fans will not accept it, because they are born with the illusion that we are the best.
Most of the fans of the smaller clubs don't do that, they know the situation of the club and they know that the stars always want to go through more.
And the media is also speculating about which club Wang Zhen transferred to?
Is it Liverpool, who played hotly with Wang Zhen some time ago?
Is it Manchester United, who has repeatedly expressed in the media that he wants Wang Zhen to play for him?
Or is it Inter Milan, who is thirsty for talent and promises many superior conditions?
In fact, it didn't take long for the media to understand who it was, and Liverpool abruptly broke off their offer for David Ngogg.
Perhaps, in other teams, there is no clue, but to be honest, Liverpool is very poor.
Very, very, very poor.
If you can bring in other strikers, you will definitely not spend Β£1.5 million on an extra David Ngogg.
What makes the media entangled is, where did Liverpool get the money to buy Wang Zhen?
In fact, it didn't make the media wait too long, and in the afternoon of the same day, the official Facebook account of the Liverpool Echo revealed that Wang Zhen signed a contract with Liverpool for five years and a weekly salary of 111,000 pounds, which was 1,000 pounds higher than the previous first Gerrard.
Suddenly signed? Are there any transfer rumors that have broken out?
On the same day, a new transfer deal was announced on Liverpool's official website.
"We are delighted to have reached an agreement with Mainz, Mainz player Wang Zhen to join Liverpool for 21 million pounds (about 31.5 million euros at the exchange rate) and pass a medical examination to welcome Wang Zhen to join."
Twenty-one million, and there is no mention of a signing fee, which means that there is none, and the weekly salary of 111,000 pounds is only a little higher than that of Gerrard.
Wang Zhen completed the signing?
In China, where the Olympics are in full swing, several broadcast stations temporarily updated the news at the same time: "China's famous football player, world football superstar, Wang Zhen, officially joined the old giant Premier League Liverpool, and the detailed report will be broadcast on C5 Sports News." β
This news was raging like a tornado, and in the end, the person in charge of the sports channel who had made money because of the Olympics suddenly woke up to the fact that CCTV did not buy the broadcast rights of the Premier League at all!
This year, Liverpool's league cannot be broadcast!
At the same time, other giant teams in Europe also commented on the transfer.
Jose Mourinho, who has recently announced his move to Inter, said: "I don't know why he would join a team that doesn't have title hopes. β
Florentino declared: "It's a pity that I'm not the chairman, otherwise I would have won Wang Zhen for Real Madrid." "The current Florentino doesn't want Wang Zhen at all, he just said it casually."
And the most classic evaluation comes from Ferguson: "Mainz rejected our offer of 27 million, and Wang Zhen was not impressed by my proposal of 18 million signing fee, to be honest, Liverpool completed the largest robbery in the football world this century!" They spent almost nothing to acquire the number one football superstar comparable to Ronaldo. As for whether this Ronaldo is a big Ronaldo or a Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson did not explain.
