On the eve of the final round of the 2007-2008 Bundesliga season, Klopp's office at the Bruch Road training base.

Jurgen Klopp is collating information from St. Pauli and is waiting for this match.

At this moment, a group of uninvited guests were welcomed in the office.

Klopp looked up at the group, slightly startled. He immediately got up and went out.

"Christian, why are you here?" Klopp was very surprised and said.

Klopp really didn't expect the team's general manager, Heiddle, to come to the office, why on earth? Is it to cheer up the team?

If that's the case, the team's president, Streuz, should be here too, right?

As he spoke, Klopp looked behind Heidel. Sure enough, the team's president, Strutz, also came to his office.

Haider immediately said, "I'm looking for something for you!" ”

At the same time, Haider also let Strutz over and said, "Mr. President, there is something I want to talk to you about!" ”

Klopp glanced at a few people, immediately nodded, and said, "Okay, please take a seat!" ”

Jurgen Klopp invited the trio to sit down and talk, along with the team's manager, Schuster. Schuster has always been in the team and Klopp knows him well, so he didn't show as politeness.

Let the three of them sit down, and Klopp will go to make coffee for the three of them.

Klopp was making coffee while thinking about what the hell was going on with these three people coming here today? It's a really big lineup.

Klopp immediately handed the steaming coffee to the three of them and said, "Coffee, please!" ”

The three of them signaled that Klopp didn't have to be so polite and didn't have to be busy.

Klopp smiled slightly, sat down opposite the three of them, and said lightly: "What is the matter of the three of you coming to me today?" Is it to hit the championship prize money? ”

Yes, in general, when a team is in the middle of the championship or relegation, the club will give a cash reward to stimulate them more motivated.

Now it's very similar.

The three of them were slightly stunned, they didn't expect Klopp to ask like this.

However, the trio reacted quickly, and the team's president, Strutz, smiled and said: "I do mean this." The team is not in a good position to win the title at the moment, and I hope to use some prize money to motivate the players and give them more motivation to win the Bundesliga this season. ”

Klopp could tell that Strutz really meant this. But he also saw the reaction of the three Strutz just now, and it was clear that they had something else to do.

Actually, don't think about it, Klopp also knows what is going on.

It's just that it's not easy to talk about.

Klopp immediately applauded and said, "Okay, it's a good move." I also think the players need some new excitement and new encouragement right now, and the cash rewards are very good. I think it's doable and I thank you on behalf of the players. ”

Strutz smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "No thanks, this is what I should do." It's my team after all, and I still hope that the team can get more honours. I have to thank the players who fought for me, it's normal. ”

Klopp bowed slightly, but did not speak.

Strutz glanced at Klopp and said with a faint smile: "This time, if our Mainz team wins the Bundesliga this season, on the basis of the original bonus, I will give 2 million euros in cash to reward the team." ”

Jurgen Klopp was also surprised, 2 million euros is a lot for a Bundesliga team.

If you think about it, many Bundesliga players earn between 100,000 and 200,000 euros a year. If these bonuses are distributed, each person can get an average of about 80,000 euros, which is equivalent to an extra half a year's salary, which is already quite awesome.

No wonder Klopp was so shocked.

This time, Strutz really felt a little hemorrhage, and after the team was promoted, the players also had to be renewed, and there was still more money to spend in the new season. To be honest, Strutz's operation is really a bit of a loser.

However, Klopp also had to applaud Strutz's boldness.

Klopp immediately said: "Mr. President, I believe that your decision will definitely stimulate the players of the Mainz team and make them three or four notches more motivated." I am sure that the Mainz players will definitely spare no effort to win the Bundesliga this season. ”

Strutz bowed his head slightly and said: "If this is the case, this championship is also very important for our Mainz team." If we win this title, we may get more sponsorships and advertising dollars next season, which is a big deal for our team. I hope the team can win the championship! ”

Klopp bowed slightly, indicating that he understood.

It seems that the team should have been approached by some sponsors and advertisers recently, and the two sides must have a basic intention to work together, but it will depend on whether Mainz can win this title.

Klopp immediately said: "Mr. President, don't worry, we will try our best to win this Bundesliga championship." We'll take it! ”

Strutz wanted Klopp's words.

Strutz immediately said: "With your words, I am relieved." I believe you! ”

Klopp bowed his head firmly, he could appreciate the weight of this sentence, and his heart was full of gratitude, the trust that Mr. Chairman had given him was really too high and too high.

Mainz really has too much affection for himself.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the negotiation was very harmonious, Haidel's eyes lit up.

Strike with the hot iron, and some things should be settled now.

Heider glanced at Strutz, who also bowed slightly, indicating that it was feasible.

Heider immediately turned to Klopp and said: "If we can win this title, our Mainz team will participate in the Bundesliga next season as the champion of the Bundesliga." We want our team to have a championship coach to continue to lead us forward, and our goals for next season are very ambitious, not just relegation. ”

Sure enough, it was still a matter of renewing the contract.

Yes, although Haider didn't say it explicitly, it was the same meaning in and out of the words.

Klopp had realized that the arrival of the senior team in Mainz was for this matter, and he had been avoiding it before, but he did not expect to mention this issue.

Of course, Klopp also knows that he can't hide. He had wanted to have a showdown with the team at the end of the season, but now it seems that he has to say it now.

Klopp looked at Heider and immediately said: "If Mainz is ambitious next season, they really need a manager of a higher level so that the team can go far in the Bundesliga." ”

Haider frowned slightly, he naturally heard the meaning of Klopp's words.

Actually, this isn't the first time Heider has talked to Klopp about this, but it hasn't been so formal before. Previously, he talked to Klopp, and Klopp has also been hesitating and has not explicitly rejected the Mainz team, so Heider thinks that the Mainz team still has a chance.

He believes that the reason why Klopp is hesitant is to see if the Mainz team can be promoted to the Bundesliga.

If Mainz is not promoted, Klopp will definitely not renew his contract with Mainz, after all, Klopp wants to coach the Bundesliga, and now there are so many Bundesliga teams inviting him. But if Mainz succeeds in promotion to the Bundesliga, he should stay.

Now that Mainz have been promoted to the Bundesliga ahead of schedule, Klopp should not hesitate any longer.

However, what Klopp means now is that he doesn't want to renew his contract with Mainz?

Heider and Strutz and others all frowned slightly, what is the reason for this? Could it be that Jurgen Klopp has already agreed with another team and will leave the team to coach another team at the end of the season?

Both Strutz and Heider were staring at Klopp.

Heider immediately said: "Jurgen, we think you are the manager we need. You are very familiar with us, we know your talents, and we give you all the power to do your best. We've been working together for so long, and you should know who we are. We are definitely the best manager for Mainz for the new season, or you. We are confident that you will be able to lead our Mainz team to a better future, and we will be able to lead the European team to the next season! ”

Yes, Mainz's goal next season is to play in Europe.

That's a very ambitious goal, for Mainz.

Moreover, Haidel's words are already very clear. If Klopp stays, in terms of competition, Klopp alone has the final say, and no one is around him to point fingers.

The Mainz top brass is completely convinced of Klopp!

To be honest, Klopp was also very touched by such support and trust. He was also very comfortable in the Mainz team and had a deep relationship with Mainz. However, he expects a bigger stage, and Mainz can't give him that.

And now Klopp has basically reached an agreement with another team, and at the end of this season, he will leave Mainz to coach a new team.

Klopp looked at Haider and the others with some guilt, and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I have betrayed your trust a little. I think that if Mainz has such a big goal in the new season, it needs some more experienced managers to get closer to the goal. I'm not suitable! ”

Heider and Strutz were stunned, although they thought that this would happen. However, in the face of Klopp's face-to-face refusal, they still couldn't accept it.

Klopp continued: "I am very clear about my level and if I stay at Mainz, I am unlikely to bring more glory to Mainz. At Mainz, I'm already pushing the limits of what I'm doing, I can't go beyond it. Staying, on the contrary, will delay the Mainz team! ”

Heider is very knowledgeable about Klopp's level, and Klopp's words are obviously modest. It can be seen that Klopp has made up his mind, and he is really unwilling to renew his contract with the Mainz team.

Haider even speculated that Klopp had signed a contract with another team.

To be honest, just letting go of this very good head coach, Haider felt very reluctant. Jurgen Klopp is very good and if he stays, Mainz will definitely take off.

But, now, it seems, none of this is going to happen.

Heider glanced at Strutz and said, "Is there really no possibility of staying?" ”

Jurgen Klopp said very seriously: "I will definitely leave a Bundesliga trophy for Mainz. ”

Heider sighed, it seemed that there was no negotiation.

Heider is well aware of Klopp's character, and since he has said so, there is no possibility of changing it.

Heider suddenly stretched out his right hand to Klopp and said: "Thank you for your contribution to the Mainz team over the years, even if you are leaving, you are still the meritorious coach of our club." Thank you, Jurgen! ”
