Volume 1: The First Cry of the Rhine Chapter 180: Our philosophy is to be young
Gu Zhen got into Klopp's car and drove directly to Klopp's house.
Along the way, the two didn't say anything.
Gu Zhen's eyes kept looking out of the car window, and his heart was a little complicated, he was not only reluctant to Mainz, but also full of expectations for the future.
Is it really going to Bayern Munich next season?
If so, when will it be the next time to return to Mainz?
Looking at the familiar street scene outside the car window, Gu Zhensheng felt a strong sense of parting.
Klopp, who was driving, didn't speak, quietly looking at the car, not knowing what he was thinking?
When he arrived at Klopp's house, Klopp led Gu Zhen directly to the living room, where there were already two people waiting!
When he saw these two people, Gu Zhen was full of doubts.
These two are not representatives of the Bayern Munich team, why haven't I seen these two?
Could it be that Bayern Munich sent two people they have not met to negotiate a contract with them today?
Gu Zhen turned his head to look at Klopp, his eyes full of doubts.
Klopp smiled and said, "Come, Xiao Gu, let me introduce you to these two!" ”
Gu Zhen immediately followed, his eyes fixed on the two opposite.
The two people on the opposite side also stood up, they stared at Klopp and Gu Zhen with a smile on their faces, and greeted Klopp: "Mr. Klopp, it's a pleasure to meet you!" ”
Klopp said: "Hello Mr. Watzke, Mr. Zolke, I am also very happy to meet you!" ”
Gu Zhen is heart was shocked, Watzke and Zorke?
Oh my God, won't you?
At this moment, Klopp smiled at Gu Zhen and said: "Xiao Gu, this is Mr. Watzke, the CEO of Dortmund Club, and this one is Mr. Zolke, Dortmund's sports manager!" ”
Gu Zhen said in his heart: "Sure enough! ”
Yes, Gu Zhen didn't guess wrong, the two in front of him are really big guys from Dortmund!
To be honest, Gu Zhen was very surprised.
Hasn't Jurgen Klopp been in contact with Bayern Munich until now? It was even rumored that Mr. Klopp had signed a contract with Bayern Munich in private, isn't Klopp going to Bayern Munich?
Why did it become Dortmund again?
Dortmund's situation is very bad, and it is said that they are now on the verge of bankruptcy. Why did Jurgen Klopp choose to join Borussia Dortmund?
Yes, now Dortmund is no longer the G14 club it once was.
Now Dortmund is in debt, almost a club that was dragged down by debt.
In the 90s, Borussia Dortmund reached its peak, winning the UEFA Champions League. This is to make them a little inflated all of a sudden, they are trying to overthrow Bayern Munich's dominance.
The management is profligate to bring in big-name players to expand Dortmund's influence and strive for better results. In 2001, the club spent 140 million marks to buy Rosicky, Kohler and Amoruso, of which Amoruso's transfer fee of 25 million euros was the highest transfer fee for a German club at that time, although they won the Bundesliga title the following year, but the club's finances were unable to make ends meet, resulting in a debt of 125 million pounds.
In 2005, Borussia Dortmund almost went bankrupt.
At that time, the club's old acquaintance Raubal took over the Dortmund club and became the president of the club for the third time. Then the club had to purge and sell players to make a living, and stars such as Rosicky, Frijns and Everton left one after another.
Dortmund barely got through it.
However, in the past two seasons, Dortmund has brought in famous coaches such as Van Marwijk and Dole in order to get good results. However, the results are very unsatisfactory, and even after the end of this season, Dortmund ushered in a new record low ranking in the 13th place in the Bundesliga, almost relegated.
Over the years, Raubal and others have learned from the pain and are determined to revive the "terminally ill patients", but the effect is not very ideal.
The club's sporting manager Zorke has also been criticized and criticized by countless fans, calling for him to leave class, and this is not the first time.
Fortunately, Borussia Dortmund is a more humane club, and Zolke, the club's honorary captain, was retained to continue as sports manager. And at this time, Laubal also hired Watzke as the club's CEO.
Watzke was the founder of a clothing company in the suburbs of Dortmund, and because of his excellent management skills, Dortmund invited him to become the club's CEO and chief operating officer.
Watzke led the new management team into Dortmund and opened a new chapter in Dortmund's club.
However, it is already a fact that Dortmund FC is not as good as it used to be.
Gu Zhen doesn't think Dortmund will have any too good future, after all, everyone will say big words, as for the result, who knows?
To be honest, Zolke and Watzke are still well-known figures in German football. No wonder Gu Zhen knew about these two people as soon as he heard the names of these two people.
Gu Zhen immediately stretched out his right hand to the two of them and said, "Hello Mr. Zolke, hello Mr. Watzke!" ”
While greeting these two people, Gu Zhen pondered.
How could Mr. Klopp get entangled with these two people, it seems that Mr. Klopp is preparing to go to Dortmund Club. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought himself to meet the two of them, would he?
Watzke and Zorke also smiled and shook Gu Zhen's right hand, and said, "Hello Gu Zhen, it's a pleasure to meet you, we have been famous for a long time!" ”
Gu Zhen immediately said: "That's all a false name!" ”
A few people exchanged a few pleasantries, and then everyone sat down and got to the point.
Looking at the conversation between Zolke, Watzke and Klopp, Gu Zhen understood a little. It turned out that the two were mainly coming for Klopp today, and they were still persuading Klopp to join their Dortmund team.
Zolke wanted Klopp to lay out a general approach to the future of Dortmund.
Gu Zhen heard it very clearly.
Borussia Dortmund, for their part, have learned their previous lessons and are now changing the club's operational approach. The previous splurge on superstar players will not be the same in the future for Dortmund, who will not be chasing the kind of stars who are inflated.
Even Zolke said: "A lot of players in the 90s couldn't match the price the club paid for them, we will bring in players like this again, we are targeting young talents with potential!" ”
Yes, Borussia Dortmund is ready to become a club that develops potential newcomers.
Zork said: "These young players with potential are generally not worth too much, and bringing them in will not have a devastating impact on our Borussia Dortmund finances. Also, these young players have an almost insane hunger for glory, which is what drives them forward and is what we at Borussia Dortmund need. ”
Yes, Zolke and others believe that it is such young players who are capable of doing miracles.
And those high-priced players who have been famous for a long time and have won honors come to the club, they no longer have that hunger, and it is difficult for them to play at their 100 per cent, which is a burden for the Dortmund team.
Gu Zhen understood, and Zorke and the others were a little scared.
Fear that the club will have problems as before, facing the danger of bankruptcy.
To be honest, this business philosophy is still very good, it will not cost too much to develop young people, it will not cause a risk to Dortmund's finances, and after these young players grow up, Dortmund can make a lot of money.
This business philosophy is very healthy.
Of course, the premise is that Dortmund FC needs to have people with a discerning eye, so that they can tap into those talented new stars, rather than a bunch of parallel goods.
Zork added: "Of course, although our business policy is mainly based on young players, our club also has requirements for results in the Bundesliga. We hope we can win the Bundesliga in three years and the Champions League in five years. So, it's not like we won't spend money on players, it's just that we won't bring in players who are over 30 years old, our club will be younger, we need young fighters around 25 years old! ”
Hearing this, Gu Zhen bowed slightly, Dortmund people are very good.
And Klopp is the two who have been staring at Dortmund tightly and have not made a decision.
Watzke immediately said: "And we think that you, Mr. Klopp, are the most suitable coach for our club Dortmund, because you have a very unique eye for finding new players and you are also very good at developing young players. The main thing is that your coaching style is very passionate and full of energy. We believe you can get along with the young players and get the most out of them. We are very much looking forward to having you join us at Borussia Dortmund, we need you! ”
When he said this, Watzke also turned his head to Gu Zhen and said: "And a young genius like Mr. Gu Zhen is the object of our Dortmund pursuit. I believe that after you come to Dortmund, there will be no shortage of opportunities to play, and we need you to grow together with our Dortmund club and create brilliance together! ”
To tell the truth, this is really very inflammatory, Gu Zhen is tempted.
However, Gu Zhen didn't speak, he turned his head directly to look at Klopp.
Now Gu Zhen and Klopp are one, and Klopp told him before that when he goes to the next club, Mr. Klopp will definitely take him. Otherwise, Mr. Klopp would not have brought him to see the two of them today.
Gu Zhen doesn't have any special complex for Dortmund, and he doesn't care about Dortmund's progress. Gu Zhen's only concern is his playing time, after all, he is very young now, and what he needs is the experience of the game.
As long as he follows Jurgen Klopp, he won't miss a chance to play.
Therefore, now Gu Zhen is waiting for Mr. Klopp to make a decision, where Klopp goes, he will go!
Klopp didn't speak for the first time, he kept his head down and thought.
It was clear that he was weighing the pros and cons and considering it carefully. However, it is clear from here that Klopp is still very interested in Dortmund, otherwise Klopp would have rejected it a long time ago, and would not have waited until now.
Watzke and Zolke glanced at each other, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
