On June 1, Wu Di accompanied Zheng Zhi outside the Bayer Arena in a car.

Ulrich-Haberland-Stadion, originally known as Ulrich?? Haberland Stadium. In 1986, the stadium began to be remodeled. The renovation was not completed until 1997, and the stadium capacity was increased to 22,500 people. In 1998 it was renamed Bayer Arena, which takes its name from the club's former president. This year, a hotel was built on the grounds of the stadium, which has facilities such as a high-end restaurant and meeting rooms.

The stadium is not big, not even as spacious as the Eagle Stadium, but the history of this stadium is far greater than that of Frankfurt.

Bayer Chairman Schreiber, Bayer Leverkusen Chairman Carlmond, Athletic Director Worrall, and Team Head Coach Daum were waiting at the door, and the group and club executives came.

As soon as Zheng Zhi, who was wearing a black suit, stepped out of the car, Schreiber led everyone up to greet him, and it can be seen that they attach great importance to Zheng Zhi. When Ballack announced his move to Bayer Leverkusen, he had not received such treatment before.

Zheng Zhi deliberately looked at the head coach Daum's handshake and found that Daum's spirit was very good, even the two mustaches were shaved off, and he looked very clean and fresh, thinking that Daum must have been working hard, right? Did you succeed?

After a few minutes of greetings between the two sides, Worrall led Zheng Zhi to have a physical examination. The medical examination went very smoothly and all the formalities were completed quickly.

Today is the first day of the transfer market, and there should have been a lot of German journalists here, but most of them went to Munich, because in the Bundesliga, only the transfer news of Bayern Munich is the most valuable, and the other clubs are not worth mentioning at all.

However, the Kicker and Bild sent reporters over, and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the local newspaper in Frankfurt, naturally came. But the lineup is not as strong as the Chinese journalists. Reporters from "Sports Weekly", "Football" Daily, "Football Weekly", "CCBV", "Southern Metropolis Daily", "Beijing News", "Chutian Metropolis Daily", "West China Metropolis Daily", Liaoning TV, Capital TV and so on gathered here, and at a cursory glance, it is estimated that there are nearly 20 people. It can be said that the press conference was occupied by Chinese journalists.

Obviously, they had already received a message from Wu Di and asked them to come to Leverkusen to attend the press conference.

Zheng Zhi's transfer to Bayer Leverkusen can be said to be the biggest event in Chinese football in 1999, and there is no one.

Naturally, it is essential to broadcast live in the country, and CCBV5 has now been recording live.

Although the Leverkusen fans who received the news could not enter the press conference, they waited outside the door for a long time, and what made them very depressed was that they didn't know who the club would sign today!

In order to surprise the Bayer Leverkusen fans, Bayer Leverkusen did not announce to the fans who the club had bought.

"What kind of plane?"

"Mysteriously, who did the club sign? It can't be a cat or dog from a youth club. I didn't even eat breakfast. ”

"One barak is not enough, a few more reinforcements must be come."

"You're not going to bring Mateus here, are you? I heard that Mateus wants to leave Bayern Munich. ”

"I think it's a Brazilian foreign player, and Leverkusen has always liked to buy Brazilian players."

"It's coming, it's coming, the car is coming."

"The car of the chairman of Bayer, behind it is the fat man and Worrall's, and then it should be the player." Hundreds of Bayer Leverkusen fans scrambled to the car at the back of the park.

Through the glass window, sharp-eyed fans immediately recognized Zheng Zhi.

"Ah, it's Zheng!"

"Zheng!"

"Zheng!"

"Zheng!"

"Ah, what a surprise,"

"Zheng is really here!"

"Ahh

The excited Bayer Leverkusen fans were quite excited and screamed. Because of the bad relationship between Daum and Schuster before, fans never thought that Zheng Zhi would come. But now the gifts from the club are so awesome.

"He's really coming,"

"Barak partner Zheng, perfect, perfect, perfect!"

"Zheng!"

"Zheng!"

"Zheng!"

"Welcome to Bayer Leverkusen!"

Zheng Zhi smiled and waved to the fans, and did not stop, but walked into the press conference with the club's senior management.

There was still applause behind him, and for a long time, the scene fell into chaos for a while, the magnesium lights kept flashing, and all kinds of long and short lens tubes were aimed at Zheng Zhi.

When Zheng Zhi signed his name on the contract, the fat man Calmond stood up from his seat first and stretched out his right hand.

"Welcome, officially joining Bayer Leverkusen!"

The scene finally entered the climax.

Karlmond then handed over the Bayer Leverkusen shirt. It's still the familiar red and black, but from Eintracht Frankfurt to Bayer Leverkusen.

Zheng Zhi took the jersey, then flipped it over, and the number 10 came into everyone's eyes.

"Number 10!"

"Zheng Zhi wears Bayer Leverkusen's No. 10 jersey!"

"No wonder Barak didn't wear No. 10, it turned out to be left for Zheng Zhi!"

"This is the number that symbolizes the central position!"

The Chinese reporters were instantly poked at the G-spot, and the collective climaxed again.

Not to mention the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV, they are even more excited.

"Add a few dishes tonight and have a few drinks to celebrate."

"Zheng Zhi can be regarded as joining a quasi-wealthy family, right?"

"Bayer Leverkusen is much better than Eintracht Frankfurt."

"There is hope to win the Bundesliga title next season, and he teaming up with Ballack will definitely have a huge impact on Bayern Munich, and maybe he can pull Bayern Munich down."

"No. 10, I didn't even get Ballack, which shows that Bayer Leverkusen built the team with him as the core, and he is the most important player."

In this era, No. 10 and No. 9 are the most important numbers, and whoever can get these two numbers thinks that he is the core of the team and the main striker of the team.

"Hey, why hasn't Zheng Zhi's annual salary been announced?"

"The other players will announce their annual salaries,"

"I don't know, maybe it's a secret clause, right? Anyway, since he can wear the No. 10 jersey, the annual salary will definitely not be low, at least not lower than Ballack, he is no longer a newcomer. ”

In Bayern's Munich office, Beckenbauer and Hoeness sat in front of each other.

Hoeness pouted.

"I'll just say, they will definitely take Zheng. We should have struck first, and we shouldn't have let Zheng go there. ”

'Both guys are at Bayer Leverkusen and we're going to have a tough time next season.

"We have to step up our reinforcements, we don't have enough personnel for next season!"

Clearly Hoeness was unhappy with Beckenbauer's decision.

"Uli, you're in too much of a hurry, they will still be ours after all, they are Bayer Leverkusen now, and they will definitely be at Bayern Munich in the future. Let them practice over there, they can only be substitutes when they come over now. ”

Beckenbauer's eyes are very clear, there is no anxiety like Hoeness at all, and there is great confidence in his eyes, whether it is Ballack or Zheng Zhi, he regards Bayern Munich as a bag.

"The most important thing for us at the moment is to find out what Lothar thinks, this guy said he was going to play in the United States and I think he should stay at Bayern Munich. Although he has a poor reputation in the team, even if he can't continue to be a regular player, he should be an important part of us, and he can still take his place in Bayern Munich. ”

"He's a fickle guy," Hoeness shook his head, "he hasn't given an answer yet, he's going to think about it for a summer." ”

"Damn, I don't like this guy, but on a competitive level, he really deserves to stay." Hoeness also didn't like Matthaus.

'We have to win the Champions League back next season and he has a lot to contribute.'

"Ah, Zheng!"

Barak was cleaning up at his new home in Leverkusen when he was looking at the TV in the living room.

"You're hiding so deeply, I don't know to this day, you're so bad!"

Barak was smiling from ear to ear, and his jaw was about to drop. He has always wanted to play football with Zheng Zhi, and now his dream has come true. But until today, Zheng Zhi has not told him the news.

"It's a pity, it would be nice if Sebastian could come too."

The greedy Ballack even hopes that the club can bring Sebastian?? Deisler ......

"Why don't you buy Bernd." He also thought of Schneider, if the fat man Kalmond heard these words from him, he would probably be very angry and say, why don't you just bring the whole German U23 over?

※※※※

City of Frankfurt.

"Look at the news,"

"Look at the news!"

"Oh my God, something big has happened!"

"Ahhhh

"It's horrible, isn't it? I haven't heard anything before, you're not kidding us, are you? ”

"Who's kidding? It's time for a press conference and he's wearing Bayer Leverkusen's number 10 shirt! He's not a Eintracht Frankfurt player anymore. ”

Almost at the same time, Eintracht Frankfurt also held a press conference, announcing that Zheng Zhi had left Eintracht Frankfurt for 15 million marks and joined Bayer Leverkusen.

"Bastard,"

"Fisher, you bastard, idiot! How can you sell Zheng? ”

"He's the cornerstone of our championship!"

"Ahhh It's too much, Zheng Yi leaves, what are we left with? Expect those guys to lead the team to the Champions Cup? You can't even make it through the qualifiers, right? ”

"We're dead!"

The loss of Zheng Zhi made the Frankfurt fans feel quite angry and desperate, and then many fans ran to the club to protest and make trouble.

Fisher's car was smashed by countless tomatoes and eggs. Fans held huge banners that read, "Please give us back Zheng!" ”

"Fisher, you bastard!"

"You should leave the chairman's position immediately!"

The reaction of Eintracht Frankfurt's fans was actually expected by Fisher. The impact of the departure of the core is evident in the squad, including the Eintracht Frankfurt players.

"I rub,"

"Zheng Zhi,"

"Went to Leverkusen without saying a word?"

Li Weifeng was packing his luggage at home, preparing to fly back to China for a vacation with Li Yin and them, and was dumbfounded when he saw the news.

"Ya, it's too much," Yang Chen scolded directly.

"He's gone, what are we going to do?"

"He didn't tell us in advance, he kept us all in the dark."

"No wonder I went to his house in the morning, the door was locked, it turned out that I ran to Leverkusen with Wu Di."

"How are we going to play next season?"

Yang Chen's chest was instantly pressed against a big stone, so heavy! He was counting on Zheng Zhi to give him an assist, Zheng Zhi is gone, who will give him an assist in the future? Isn't it going to be cool to score?

Li Yin on the side has been silent, his eyes are a little dull, he doesn't know what to think, anyway, he doesn't say a word, like a wood carving.

"Li Yin, you have something to say."

"What did I say?" After a long time, Li Yincai grabbed his hair, "What can we do, we can only rely on ourselves in the future, we can't always play football by Zheng Zhi's side, we have to get used to being independent and self-reliant." We're professionals, we're not at home, and in the national team, we always have to deal with it ourselves. ”

"We need to be confident!"

Li Yin thumped his chest, "Without Zheng Zhi, we can still play well in Frankfurt, we have proven ourselves with time, haven't we?" It can only be said that the difficulties encountered are a little greater. ”

"More than that? Alas......" Li Weifeng sighed heavily, "no one can fill the void of his departure, count on Bernd?" That guy's progress is too small......"

Although and Bernd?? Schneider's relationship is good, but he doesn't think Schneider can really replace Zheng Zhi, "No wonder he spoke strangely a few days ago, it turned out that he was saying goodbye to everyone, good guy, he hid it too deeply." ”

At this time, the doorbell rang.

At the door stood Klose.

"You all know?" Looking at everyone's expressions, Klose also understood.

"It's not interesting."

"At least let us know in advance."

Everyone is scolding Zheng Zhi.

※※※※

At 14:20 in the afternoon, at the gate of Frankfurt Airport, a handsome and sunny Chinese boy walked out with a duffel bag, and his eyes were searching everywhere.

Soon, he met Wu Di, who had just arrived from Leverkusen, Wu Di was going to be busy today, he attended the press conference with Zheng Zhi in the morning, and now he is going to pick up Qi Hong, and then he is going to Frankfurt Club, and he has to attend the Bundesliga awards party with Zheng Zhi in the evening.

Anyway, he can lose a pound or two of fat on his body today......

"Qi Hong, this way."

Wu Di beckoned Qi Hong over, and after a long flight, Qi Hong's face was full of exhaustion, but there was still a smile in the exhaustion.

After all, a new journey in his life has finally begun.

Liuyang, such a great dream! It's worth it to be tired......

"We're going to Eintracht Frankfurt right now, we're a little bit short on time." Wu Di helped Qi Hong carry his luggage into the car, and then chatted with Qi Hong while driving.

"Let me tell you, after you join Frankfurt, the pressure will definitely be great, because you are Zheng Zhi's successor, everyone is staring at you, and they will always compare you with Zheng Zhi, if you don't perform well, you will definitely be bombarded indiscriminately, you have to be mentally prepared."

Although Qi Hong is older than Zheng Zhi, he is a hero on the court based on his skills, not his age.

"I understand."

"When I choose to be here, it means that I have to accept all these challenges." Qi Hong's thick eyebrows and big eyes shone with confidence.

Even if it is a failure, I have nothing to fear. He secretly cheered himself up in his heart.

"It's good, you have to have that mentality."

"Whether you succeed or fail, it's a wonderful chapter in your life." Wu Di was also cheering him up.

"I've found a house, let's live in Zheng Zhi's original house, of course, if you want to live with Li Yin and them, it's okay."

"I'll live by myself, it's more convenient."

"Are you sure you're really going to wear size 39? You don't have to. Wu Di reminded again, I always feel that the stubborn Qi Hong has some intention of forcing himself to a dead end, and he is sensitive to joining Frankfurt at this time, and he has to wear Zheng Zhi's original No. 39, which makes the pressure even greater.

It's not like once Jordan retires, you have to wear his No. 23 Bulls jersey and make yourself uncomfortable, unless, you really have the strength.

"I'm sure, don't everyone want me to do that?"

"That being said......"

……

……

※※※※

Just as the Eintracht Frankfurt fans were tired at the club's gate, Wu Di and Qi Hong arrived here in their cars.

"Isn't that Zheng's agent?"

"Good guy, he must be bad in the back, let Zheng join Leverkusen, the agent is so bad, we have to ask him clearly!"

"Wait, who's that guy next to him?"

"It seems that Frankfurt is going to have a press conference again? At three o'clock, is this guy a new signing? ”

"Another Chinese player?"

"We'll wait and see what the club is up to."

……

……

Half an hour later, Qi Hong successfully passed the physical examination and appeared at the press conference. At this time, the Chinese reporters had already rushed to Frankfurt from Leverkusen.

Today we witnessed two transfers of Chinese players, Zheng Zhi taking the next level to join Bayer Leverkusen, and Qi Hong taking over the number 39 shirt that once belonged to Zheng Zhi from Eintracht Frankfurt chairman Fisher.

"Him?"

"Is he okay?"

"What data can he hand over? He's just a rookie, an obscure rookie! ”

The fans were dumbfounded, in their opinion, No. 39 only belonged to Zheng Zhi, and others were really not qualified to wear him.

"He's also a Chinese player."

"Don't forget, Zheng was also a rookie last year, and he was also unknown, but he proved himself in one season, maybe, he can too?"

"I hope so......" But most fans are still tolerant, after all, Qi Hong is also a Chinese player, and there is no more suitable way to do it.

"What's his name?"

……

In the face of the unfamiliar and questioning eyes of the fans, Qi Hong still firmly showed his new jersey, the No. 39 jersey that once belonged to Zheng Zhirong.

"It's an honor to wear this jersey,"

"I know ......"
