Keep in mind

address

Sold Lehmann and Rosicky to two Premier League teams respectively, Dick plans to leave the UK and go elsewhere - to be honest, the departure of Lehmann and Rosicky has a big impact on Dortmund, but it can be solved by digging up the potential internally - Weidenfeller is a goalkeeper who is not bad, what he lacks is only the opportunity to practice, this season Dick intends to straighten Weidenfeller, if he does not expect to get too good results in the Champions Cup, Weidenfeller is enough to play in the league, If you can train a reliable goalkeeper, it is much better than buying a goalkeeper. [No pop-ups. High speed

And Rosicky's position, Dick intends to let Klinger to play, the young German teenager last season in a few opportunities to play is also quite good, he and Rosicky compared to a lot of technology and overall view, but he is a full-time back from the background, in the back position to organize the attack is also his strength, in this position to replace Rosicky, although the strength will drop a lot, but from the perspective of training young players and saving money, it is very suitable.

Not to mention Ricken, who was also placed in that position at times last season, and as a rotation player, he is qualified enough.

On the contrary, the departure of Rivaldo and Okocha is to make up for the players, Dick does not plan to use the tactics of double forward midfielders next season, but now there are not enough forwards in the team, and when Cavinaghi also leaves, even if Gomez is transferred to the first team to be trained well, there are only three strikers in the team, Olich, Everton and Gomez, and the forward line is in urgent need of replenishment.

For next season's tactics, Dick has already thought about it, there is no forward midfield, it is okay to use a winger, the tactics of three forwards are equally effective, and they can also tap the potential of the team, but in this case, at least one player with excellent strength on the side is needed, and now Dortmund's front court lacks people with breakthrough ability, although Everton's speed and technique are good, but he needs space, and the introduction of a player who can break through with the ball is a top priority.

And this candidate, Dick already had in mind - that is, Andrei, who will be called the tsar in the future? Arshavin, who is not yet famous in the Russian, has just played for two seasons at Zenit at the age of twenty-one, and despite his impressive performances, he has not attracted much attention from the continent.

Young, powerful, not famous, the team doesn't have much money, and he doesn't have a high salary - all of this meets Dick's requirements.

Now Zenit St. Petersburg has not yet gotten Gazprom as a backstage, although many Russian teams are rich, but basically Moscow teams are rich, as a team located in St. Petersburg, Zenit is now just an ordinary team in Russia, although it won third last season, but last season's ranking fell to tenth, this season is good, but there is a big gap from the league championship.

It's obviously much easier to poach people in such a team.

Dick was so good that he flew directly from London to St. Petersburg.

What he didn't expect was that when he landed at the airport in St. Petersburg and turned on his mobile phone, Zolke's call came.

"Di, I've been calling you for a long time, why is your phone not on?" Zolke said anxiously on the other end of the phone.

"What's wrong, is there anything urgent?"

Dick knew that Zorke would not call him if he was in no hurry, so he didn't think Zorke was blaming himself, but asked rhetorically.

'Chelsea have made an offer to Cavinaghine! Offer 20 million pounds! Zolke's voice on the other end of the phone was almost shouting: "So we have to ask you if you want to sell Kavinagi......

"Twenty million pounds? That is, 30 million euros? Dick was also taken aback by this figure, not that he thought it was expensive - in fact, it was very expensive, you must know that although Chelsea spent hundreds of millions of euros this season in history, but in fact they bought a lot of people, Crespo was their most expensive signing this summer, but it was only 18 million pounds, about 26 million euros, and now they are making an offer of 20 million pounds for Cavinaghi in one breath...... This can only be said, most of the time Abu took action himself, if it was Kenyan, he would not be so irrational.

"It seems that Abu is really fascinated by the name of the champion of the Champions Cup...... Michael, don't worry, we can delay it, reply to them, 40 million euros, take it if you want. Dick thought for a moment and said.

“…… Won't it scare them away? Zolke hesitated.

"Don't worry...... It was certainly not the handiwork of Kenyon, but the personal handiwork of their Russian boss. Although they are throwing a lot of money now, they are actually very calm. Kenyon is a very knowledgeable person, and he will not spend so much money rashly. Since it is not Kenyon, then it must be their Russian boss, and for this rich man, since he is willing to spend 30 million euros to buy Kavinaghi, then he doesn't care about paying another 1,000...... Just reply like this, emphasising just how good Cavinaghi is, having scored almost 30 goals in all competitions last season, just two fewer than Ruud van Nistelrooy in the Champions League...... So be it. ”

At this, Dick chuckled slightly

"And I can almost guess why Abu can't help but buy players himself......"

Zolke hung up the phone with some suspicion, and Dick laughed slightly.

Actually, Dick was not wrong.

After the news broke from Manchester United that they had signed Borussia Dortmund's midfield core Rosicky for 25 million euros, Abu was a little angry.

Because before that, Rosicky was also a target for Chelsea, and Chelsea's manager Claudio Ranieri said that "if I had to choose Rosicky and Veron, then I would have Rosicky, and of course, without Rosicky, Veron would have been okay." ”

With such instructions, Kenyon was ready to talk about Rosicky's transfer, but at this time, news came from Manchester that Dortmund had reached an agreement with Manchester United, and Rosicky would transfer to Manchester United for 25 million euros......

If the money is not as much as the other party, it will be forgotten, and now Ken Young has a sufficient budget, but the other party preemptively opened the price.

Since becoming Chelsea manager, Abou, who has only been stealing from others, is immediately furious – and he began to think that Kenyon's cautious approach was not necessarily wrong, but if there was an easy way, why not do it?

After asking Dortmund about the players who performed well last season, he immediately set his sights on Cavinaghi - quite simply, Cavinaghi was arguably the most eye-catching young striker in the Champions Cup last season, scoring ten goals in the Champions League, and basically all of them were quite important, often scoring key goals, and at his age, such performances are indeed commendable.

Coupled with the fact that Ranieri had said that he needed a better striker, Abu went straight past Kenyon and asked Chelsea Football Club to make such an offer for Dortmund.

With a happy mood, Dick directly found a hotel in St. Petersburg to stay, and the next details did not need him to do, but Dortmund's transfer staff sent a transfer invitation to Zenit, expressing their desire to bring in their main player for three million euros, Andre? Arshavin.

For such an offer, Zenit chose to refuse, although they don't have much money now, but they are not willing to sell a young main player for three million euros.

However, there were rumors in the media that Dortmund were interested in Arshavin, and at the same time, Dortmund's offer was raised to four million euros.

Although Arshavin himself denied that he had contact with Dortmund in an interview, and said that he loved Zenit and was unwilling to transfer easily, he also vaguely said that he was interested in playing in the four major leagues, after all, for a young player like him, if he could play under Dick, who was known for being able to coach young players, he might improve.

Dick really didn't have any private contact with Arshavin, from the smell of later generations, he could know that Arshavin was a very level-headed player, and he was very careful about his own image, even if he wanted to play under him, it was impossible to publicly say that I was leaving, paralyzing Zenit, you let Lao Tzu go and so on, so instead of going to contact privately, it was better to be more open.

After the results of these three years, after cultivating outstanding young players such as Vicente, Torres, and Cavinagui, whether it is "winning a championship under Dick" or "Dick can make me strong", it is a huge attraction, Dick has this confidence, as long as his name is played, not to mention that every player will cry and shout to join, at least for most players, it will be exciting!

He has that confidence now.

Sure enough, in such a situation, Zenit began to be passive - they were definitely unwilling to let go of Arshavin, but firstly, the price offered by Dortmund had reached their bottom line, secondly, they did not have the strength to attack the Russian champion now, and thirdly, for Arshavin's own development, it seemed that it would be more appropriate to let him go......

A few days later, Zenit finally agreed to Dortmund's third offer of five million euros, Russian players are generally not too valuable, five million euros is already a pretty top figure - after all, the Russian national team has not performed too well in the last few major tournaments, which naturally affects the value of Russian players.

The next treatment discussion with Arshavin also went quite smoothly, knowing that Arshavin's current annual salary at Zenit is only 350,000 euros, and he will get an annual salary of 800,000 euros in Dortmund, and Dick told him that he is very optimistic about Arshavin's performance in Dortmund's tactics this season.

"I know you well and know your technical characteristics, so you don't need to worry about you not having a place under me...... Of course, that doesn't mean you're necessarily the main player, I'll only let you play if you're in good shape, understand? Dick said to Arshavin.

"I know that, sir! I will use my performance to prove that there is nothing wrong with your vision! Arshavinbi said firmly to Dick.
