Volume 1: The First Cry of the Rhine Chapter 049: I will only sign a contract with you
Roth pinched the big black lacquer pipe in his hand and said, "Not for sale?" β
Klopp nodded firmly and said, "Yes! β
Roth took a closer look at Klopp and said, "However, as far as I know, your club has not signed a professional contract with Gu. In other words, we can take him away at any time. β
Klopp was furious when he heard this, and looked up at Roth with his eyes fixed on him.
Calm and calm, Roth put his pipe in his mouth, took a pleasant puff, and spat out a large smoke ring. I don't know when he became obsessed with the taste of this pipe, and he always wanted to take two puffs at any time.
The smell of smoke swirling in the abdomen is really amazing.
"Don't look at me like that, if I really did that, I wouldn't be sitting here right now!" Roth said. Mr. Klopp, I am here with great sincerity. β
Klopp snorted coldly and said, "I don't see any sincerity, all I see is a threat, and a useless threat!" β
Roth saw that Klopp's dead duck had a hard mouth, but he didn't care, just smiled slightly. He didn't dwell on this, and continued: "I know that in addition to our Bayern Munich now, there are many clubs that are very interested in Gu Zhen. Our Bayern Munich follows the rules, it doesn't mean that other clubs will follow the rules, if you don't make a decision now, maybe he will be abducted by others, and then you will regret it too late! β
Seeing that the other party looked like he was winning, Klopp smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I am very confident in Gu Zhen." Especially, I have more confidence in his father Gu Yongchen! β
Gu Yongchen?
Roth naturally knows this person, he is Gu Zhen's father, and now he is a professional scout of the Mainz club, and his position is not low, it seems that he is the head of Mainz in Asia.
It is precisely because of this person that Roth came to Klopp today.
Yes, he knew very well that it was difficult for other teams to take Gu Zhen away, so he appeared here.
Roth groaned and said: "In this way, we at Bayern Munich spend a sum of money to bring in Gu Zhen, and then we will loan him to you for free for two to three years, and we can also join the renewal contract." You see, is that okay? β
Yes, that's the real purpose of Roth's coming today.
He is very optimistic about Gu Zhen, but Bayern Munich obviously has no soil to cultivate Gu Zhen. After buying Gu Zhen, they could only rent Gu Zhen out for exercise, and when he really grew up, he was returned to the Bayern Munich team to play for the Bayern Munich first team.
Roth was quite optimistic about Gu Zhen, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Klopp.
Klopp smiled and said: "You mean, let us Mainz help you develop players that belong to us Mainz, and then the results of training are yours, so what do we get?" Do you think I have a problem with Klopp's IQ? β
Roth's brow furrowed, slightly angry.
He said, "You got a sum of money! β
Klopp smiled: "How much?" Let me guess 50,000, 80,000, 100,000? Or 50, 1 million? Can these be compared to the next 30 million? β
Roth stared at Klopp, as if to engrave Klopp's somewhat arrogant appearance in his mind. After a while, he said, "I think you should think about it, our side will not give up on Gu Zhen!" β
Klopp smiled and said, "Why don't you give up?" Privately reaching out to a player who is flirting with me? It's against the law, and if you do that, I don't mind going to UEFA or even FIFA. And, more importantly, I have a lot of confidence in my players. β
Roth stared at Klopp tightly, no joy or anger in his eyes, only cold, bone-chilling coldness.
He said word by word: "Do you really want to do it with us?" β
Klopp said coldly: "It's you Bayern Munich who want to go against me!" β
Roth took another large puff of his pipe, highlighting a cloud of smoke. In the fog of smoke, Roth's vulture-like sharp eyes stabbed Klopp fiercely, and he said coldly: "I hope you don't regret it! β
Klopp felt the coldness all over his body, but he was fearless. pouted coldly, and said lightly: "It's good to go, don't send it!" β
Roth glanced at Klopp again fixedly, did not say anything more, and walked away directly.
Who could tell that he had left with a wave of anger.
Klopp didn't care at all, and immediately left the former legend of Bayern Munich behind, and now he has to think about the league and Gu Zhen's problems.
Now the Bundesliga has been played thirteen rounds, and it just so happened that in the last round of the game, with Gu Zhen's two thrilling goals, the team got three points, and finally let the Mainz team return to the promotion zone and came to the third place in the league.
At the top of the Bundesliga table are Borussia MΓΆnchengladbach with 28 points; In second place is Freiburg with 27 points; Next up is Mainz, who are in third place, with 24 points.
So, Mainz is now four points away from the top of the table and three points away from second place. The gap is not very big, and Mainz has a good chance.
However, the fourth and fifth-ranked Munich 1860 and FΓΌrth teams are both tied on 23 points, just one point behind Mainz.
So, the third place in the league is very precarious for Mainz right now, coupled with the team's recent ups and downs in form and a few thrilling wins, which makes Klopp feel some pressure. Next, he will have to stabilize Mainz's form so that they can push for better results and secure a promotion spot.
However, Klopp is very clear that the most important issue now is Gu Zhen's problem.
Roth's words were hard to hear, but there were some things he said that were quite right.
Now, their Mainz club has indeed not signed a professional contract with Gu Zhen.
Previously, Gu Zhen had been playing in the youth team, and everyone had not thought about this problem. In fact, everyone didn't expect Gu Zhen to come out so quickly and make such a big name.
Of course, there is also the fact that German law prohibits the employment of employees under the age of 18. Therefore, Gu Zhen, who is only 17 years old, is not able to sign a professional contract with Mainz FC, even if Mainz FC wants to sign it.
It's no secret that other German clubs know it.
Therefore, Klopp is really a little worried that other clubs will contact Gu Zhen in private, if Gu Zhen is really taken away by other clubs, then their Mainz club will lose a lot.
The other teams are not afraid, Klopp is really a little afraid of Bayern Munich.
After all, this is the class bully of the Bundesliga, the super giants of Germany, and the world's top giants club, if they throw an olive branch to Gu Zhen, can Gu Zhen hold on?
Joining a big club is a huge attraction for a young player.
Klopp wasn't as confident as he had thought.
Although there are a lot of rules and laws that protect the rights and interests of their Mainz club, there are also many clubs in world football every year because of the introduction of young talents, and these clubs do not have the top giants such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
All, sometimes, the rules can become fragile.
The more Klopp thought about it, the more he felt that Gu Zhen's problem was the most critical problem now, because he really appreciated and liked Gu Zhen very much.
Gu Zhen must stay in Mainz, definitely.
Klopp wanted to call Gu Zhen in immediately, but he immediately found out that it was the international break, and some of the club's players were reporting back to the national team. And Gu Zhen is also preparing to report back to the Chinese national youth team, and he is going to participate in the Asian Youth Championship qualifiers.
Klopp looked at his wrist, at this time, Gu Zhen should have boarded the plane, right?
couldn't find Gu Zhen, Klopp didn't give up, he was going to find Gu Yongchen first, this matter was actually okay with Gu Yongchen.
Klopp immediately found Gu Yongchen's phone and dialed it.
After a while, the phone rang, and Gu Yongchen's voice came from inside: "Hey, Jurgen, why did you think of calling me, is something wrong with Gu Zhen?" β
Klopp immediately said: "Xiao Gu has nothing to do, I have something to find you!" β
Gu Yongchen was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Which little player do you have a crush on again?" However, I have only just handed over this list recently, and your work efficiency is inevitably too fast! β
Suddenly, Gu Yongchen paused, and then said, "Eh, that's not right." It doesn't seem like these things will be handed to you so quickly, right? β
Klopp knew that Gu Yongchen had misunderstood, and he immediately said, "I'm looking for you, not to talk about this!" β
Gu Yongchen was stunned again, what do you say if you don't say this? Are the two of us going to fall in love?
Klopp immediately said: "You don't have to guess, I'm looking for you to talk about Gu Zhen!" β
Gu Yongchen pursed his lips slightly and immediately said, "Then I just asked you if something happened to Gu Zhen, and you said no?" β
Klopp smiled slightly bitterly, language is really a broad and profound knowledge!
Klopp immediately said: "Blame me, blame me, blame me for not making it clear." I mean Gu Zhen is fine, it's I want to talk to you about Gu Zhen! β
It's a little twisted, but Gu Yongchen understands it.
Gu Yongchen said: "Very important things? β
Klopp was a little anxious, so naturally he didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "A very important thing is about Gu Zhen signing a professional contract." β
Gu Yongchen completely understood.
Gu Yongchen said: "Sign? It doesn't seem to work now, Xiao Gu is not yet 18 years old, and he is not able to sign a professional contract. β
Klopp immediately said: "I know this. I just informed you in advance that our club is very optimistic about Gu Zhen and is already planning to sign a professional contract with him. You can also prepare and talk about your ideas! β
Suddenly, Gu Yongchen thought of a phone call he received from the Munich 1860 Club in the morning, and he really understood, it turned out that Mr. Klopp was in a hurry.
Gu Yongchen immediately said, "Don't worry, Jurgen!" At present, Gu Zhen will only sign a professional contract with one club, and this club is Mainz 05 Club! β
Hearing this, Klopp finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Klopp knew the meaning of these words, and he said very solemnly: "Thank you! β
