James. Merry relayed Ferguson's words to Chu Zhongtian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ferguson's attention to him for so many years made Chu Zhongtian quite moved. But he still intends to turn down Ferguson.

I am already 27 years old, and I will be 28 years old after December 1 this year. This age is the prime time of his career, but it is also the last glory. The move could well be the last successful transfer of his career – he didn't want his Champions League title at Hoffenheim to be the last of his career.

The problem now is that United are not stable, Ferguson has not been able to do much time at Manchester United, and the old Scottish man is 70 years old, how long can he still sit in the United managerial position? Although he postponed his retirement several times, after all, he is old, and now his energy is not as good as before, and his physical condition has plummeted. If you go to Manchester United yourself, what if Ferguson leaves suddenly? His influence at this club is too big and his imprint is too deep for anyone to take over the team to regain his former glory, unless he also has been at United for more than two decades like Alex Ferguson. After all, Manchester United, where Ferguson is gone, will have a lot of turbulence, which is not conducive to Chu Zhongtian's title race.

And the reason why Ferguson wants to buy Chu Zhongtian is also to prepare for Manchester United after he is gone. He knows that when he is gone, the team will be a little turbulent at the level of the coach, but within the team, he wants to have a core that can be calm, as long as the team plays around him, it will be much easier. That's all he can do for his next term.

Of course, Chu Zhongtian knew about Ferguson's idea, but he was unwilling to gamble. He is not a Manchester United fan and will not be driven by the rush to help the Reds regain their glory as soon as he hears the call. Otherwise, he would have gone a long time ago, and would he have to wait until now?

Chu Zhongtian doesn't have to leave Hoffenheim, he is having a good time at Hoffenheim now, his teammates here, the fans here have a good relationship with him. Here, he has a mature tactical system, the team works together, knows what to do with each other, and doesn't even need to give a look, he is like a fish in water here.

Except for the small size of the team, the small size of the city, and the small influence of the league, everything else is very good. And he has also won some of the best club honours in Europe here.

Speaking of challenges, there are also challenges here -- it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

※※※ The news that Baldano brought back from London made many people feel bad.

Arsenal rejected Real Madrid's offer of two sets of offers for Cesc Fabregas, one was to pay 60 million euros directly, but in installments; The second is 30 million euros plus Benzema, Benzema also spent 30 million to buy Real Madrid, so this set of offers is still about 60 million euros.

Either way, Arsenal refused. Arsenal will not accept the second plan at all, although Wenger likes Benzema, but they do not think that Benzema is worth 30 million - Benzema has been completely scrapped in Real Madrid in recent seasons. As for the first set, the price of 60 million euros is attractive, but the installment payment is not...... Either take out 60 million at once, or don't talk about it.

At the meeting, Zidane reiterated his position: "I think we should turn our attention to Chu. Defensively he's better than Cesc Fabregas, physically, he's better than Cesc Fabregas, he's still better than Cesc Fabregas in terms of scoring ability, and what we get is an all-round fighter, a midfielder who can play in any position and perform well in any position, who can adapt to all kinds of tactical requirements. He is the only player in today's football and is very rare. ”

"But he's a non-EU quota." Baldano shook his head.

"It's not a problem, Jorge. Mohammed. With Diarra's departure, we have freed up a non-EU place. ”

"The coaching staff is considering whether to leave this spot for Adebayo......

Bam Adebayor came on loan from Manchester City in the second half of last season, and in his loan deal, Real Madrid had a pre-emptive clause. Bam Adebayor has performed well in this half season at Real Madrid and is a strong addition to Real Madrid's forward line. Therefore, the Real Madrid coaching staff has been considering whether to use the pre-emptive buy-out clause to bring Bam Adebayor directly to Madrid.

"Marcelo has also obtained Spanish citizenship and can free up a non-EU place, as well as Garay, who is also about to obtain Spanish nationality. We have no shortage of non-EU quotas. Zidane said.

"I also think it's a great idea to buy Chu." Marketing Director Sanchez agrees. "We can take the opportunity to expand the Chinese market......"

Mourinho raised his hand: "This summer is not suitable for business competitions in East Asia. This season we have to push Barcelona down! ”

When it came to Barcelona, Sanchez was silent. Last season, Real Madrid were almost completely inferior against Barcelona, neither in the league nor in the Champions League, they were powerless to stop Barcelona, losing away and drawing at home, which is not satisfactory in any way.

Watching his subordinates arguing, Florentino didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and studied the documents placed in front of his case, which belonged to Fabregas, Schweinsteiger and Chu Zhongtian.

Personally, Florentino would prefer to take Cesc Fabregas, as he is a native Spanish player and will be at the helm of the Spanish national team after Xavi. Buying him can break the monopoly of the Spanish national team by Barcelona. But the difficulty is too high, Arsenal is also a giant team, Wenger is also a very assertive person, not easy to be interfered with by others, not to mention that he and Mourinho are mortal enemies, he will never allow his rivals to be cheap...... What about Schweinsteiger...... "If we want to buy Schweinsteiger, why don't we buy Chu?" The conversation has shifted to the Fabregas alternative, with quite a few acquiescing to the failure of buying Fabregas.

"In Germany, Chu is considered to be the number one star in this position. Everyone has seen Hoffenheim's results last season, and the role of Chu in this is quite important. Beckenbauer said that Chu was the real free man, but he didn't say that about Piquet or Schweinsteiger. ”

"But let him be Alonso's ...... replacement"

Zidane shook his head and said, "Who said that he should be a substitute?" He can coexist with Alonso. ”

But whether he said this question or not, Mourinho has the final say.

In the entire room, there was one person other than Florentino who never spoke, and that was Mourinho.

Now all eyes are on him.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Mourinho adjusted his sitting position.

"Hmmm......"

Mourinho snorted, but that doesn't mean he agrees with Zidane.

"When Chu was at Hoffenheim, he had a full-time defensive player around him to take the pressure off his defense. It was the same in Metz. Mourinho said. But here, he can't possibly have, Alonso is not a full-time defensive player. ”

"They can take turns to protect the other side, Chu has more scoring ability, and he can be a little bit further forward." Zidane said. 'He's got the best fitness I've ever seen, so it's not a problem to defend back. The most important thing is that with Chu, we have a dual core, so that it will be difficult for the opponent to contain us. In the past, they relied on containing Alonso to effectively hinder our attack, but this will not be possible in the future. ”

Mourinho is not a stubborn man, he bowed his head and frowned as he pondered Zidane's suggestion. In fact, he has already sketched in his mind what kind of tactics will be needed if Chu Zhongtian and Alonso play at the same time...... He has seen Chu Zhongtian's performance, in Inter Milan, in Real Madrid, he has personally experienced, in the stands of Wembley Stadium, he also watched Chu Zhongtian's performance in the final.

After that final, Chu Zhongtian is not famous in a fight, but he is definitely popular all over the world. He knew that the giants of all Europe were now vying for this man.

"There's a problem......" Baldano said suddenly. I admit Chu's quality, so he's the hottest star in all of Europe right now. Have you read Marca or As? Almost every day, a piece of transfer news related to him appeared on it. In other words, if we want to buy him, we will have to compete with the giants of all Europe, and the value will inevitably be very high......"

He was talking about very practical issues, and there was a buzz of discussion in the conference room.

Now many big teams are interested in Chu Zhongtian, and it is said that Manchester United has already made the first move. There are many more clubs up for grabs. How can Real Madrid ensure that they can beat those opponents? When this player joined Hoffenheim, he was already worth a lot of money, 30 million euros. After three seasons, he helped the team win a league championship and a Champions League title, and the value will only rise and not fall, so if you want to buy it now, at least 50 million euros, otherwise Hoffenheim will not let go. With this money, it is better to buy Fabregas, killing more birds with one stone.

Zidane said in his heart: So I let you contact Chu at the end of the season...... As a result, everyone is willing to act...... But on his lips, he still said: "I have a good personal relationship with Chu, I can go and convince him." The will of the players is what matters when it comes to transfers, as long as we offer enough for Hoffenheim to nod and agree to be approached by them. ”

Florentino looked up at Zidane.

It's a good move.

Transfers come down to players choosing the club, not the club choosing the club. So why in the past, Real Madrid often used to poach people in the corner of the wall is to contact the opposing player in private, after understanding the player's wishes, and then initialize the contract, and then make an offer to the club where the opposing player is located, as long as the price is right, it will definitely be won.

Mourinho seemed to have nothing more to say, and he nodded: "Well, if you can convince him, I'll take care of the rest." ”

The manager nodded, and the rest was up to the chairman.

In fact, Florentino has always been very interested in the Chinese market, otherwise he would not have led the team to visit China twice in his first term.

The previous Real Madrid had a killer feature that attracted Chinese fans, and that was David Beckham. Now Beckham has already left Real Madrid, but if Chu Zhongtian can come, he will be more attractive than Beckham, after all, this is a star from their native China, his status and popularity in China are higher than Beckham, and he can greatly strengthen Real Madrid's influence in China.

And if he is really as good as the legend, it will also help the team's competitive performance.

There is little reason to object.

Florentino put his hand on Chu Zhongtian's information and tapped: "Then let's do it." Qi Zu, you go and get in touch with him and listen to his opinion. ”

Zidane laughed. Marketing director Sanchez was also laughing, Mourinho was expressionless, only Baldano shook his head in disappointment, he still preferred to let Cesc Fabregas join Real Madrid's ...... ※※※ Chu Zhongtian received a call from Zidane, and after the two of them exchanged pleasantries on the phone for a while, Zidane said that he wanted to come to Sinsheim to see his old friend, Chu Zhongtian readily agreed, and warmly invited Zidane to come to Sinsheim to play.

In fact, there is nothing fun in Sinsheim, Chu Zhongtian knows that Zidane is not a drunkard, and he said that he came to visit an old friend, but in fact he must be a lobbyist for Real Madrid.

Being a lobbyist for Real Madrid, Chu Zhongtian is not disgusted, and it doesn't hurt him to listen to it anyway.

A day later, Zidane arrived in Frankfurt. There was only half a day of training that day, and after the training in the morning, Chu Zhongtian drove to Frankfurt to pick up Zidane. After being picked up at the airport, the French football giant was picked up and driven back to Sinsheim.

Chu Zhongtian did not book a hotel for Zidane, but entertained him to stay in his own home. He had already moved out of the original apartment and bought a manor house on the outskirts of the city. There are six bedrooms alone, seven bathrooms, and an outdoor pool and an indoor pool, and Chu Zhongtian built an indoor football field in the open space behind the house, the kind of five-a-side, because there are no stands, so it doesn't take up much space.

"Your house is beautiful, Chu." Zidane praised.

"Thank you, Qizu." Chu Zhongtian drove the car into the garage, and then helped Zidane carry his luggage, and the two of them walked into his home. Emily isn't here, she's still in the United States, overseeing the post-production of the film, and she's flying to Germany every weekend to reunite with Chu.

After settling Zidane, Chu Zhongtian said to him, "Are you going to play somewhere?" Baden-Württemberg has many tourist attractions, such as the Black Forest, one of Germany's most popular spa destinations, Lake Constance, the Swabian Jura, the castle in Heidelberg and the Neckar ......"

Zidane interrupted his sales pitch like a tour guide with a smile: "Let's get it straight, Chu." You should know why I came to you. ”

Chu Zhongtian motioned for Zidane to sit down, then handed the other party a drink, and sat opposite him with a smile: "Then I have to listen carefully." ”

"Real Madrid is interested in you, Chu." Zidane said straight to the point. "So they commissioned me to talk to you and hear what you think."

"I feel very comfortable living here." Chu Zhongtian shrugged with a smile.

Zidane also smiled: "Life in Madrid is also very comfortable. ”

'Here, I'm at the core, the whole team is built around me, and I have the most authority in this team besides the manager. To be honest, I don't think Real Madrid can meet my requirements at all, Zizou. ”

"You're right, Chu. If you want to be the core, that's fine, but if you want to be the first person outside of the manager, I'm afraid you can't. Zidane nodded. With his understanding of Chu Zhongtian, he was very clear about Chu Zhongtian's requirements. "But, Chu, haven't you thought about playing football in a different way? A really great player always has to adapt to a variety of circumstances. You've played at Wimbledon, you've played at Metz, you've played at Metz, and now you need to play in an environment like Real Madrid. I always feel like you think too much about things off the football pitch and it limits your performance, but you can actually play better, but first you have to leave things other than kicking to other people, focus on playing, and you can achieve more......"

Chu Zhongtian shook his head with a smile: "Is there anything more than winning the Champions League?" ”

'Two Champions League wins are definitely greater than one. Zidane replied. "Do you think Hoffenheim is an ambitious club? I know Mr. Hope once said he wouldn't sell people for money, but not forever. Although Mr. Hope is rich, Hoffenheim is still too weak compared to Real Madrid. There are a lot of teams interested in you this summer, and when they all make offers to Hoffenheim, do you think Hoffenheim will be able to keep you? ”

This sentence gets to the heart of the matter.

The smile on Chu Zhongtian's face was gone.

He had similar fears that even if he wanted to stay at Hoffenheim after winning the Champions League, the club might not want to. The reason why the contract renewal negotiations went so hard last season was because Hope's net worth shrank and he was much more cautious in various investments. The investment of 20 million euros a year has to be considered for so long for Hope, the previous 20 million is nothing to him, he spent 30 million to buy himself, and he didn't even blink an eyelid.

Hoffenheim is slipping into a crisis, and UEFA's rule is just one of the reasons. Hope can't keep filling the Hoffenheim hole with his own money. What advantage does Hoffenheim have when it has no money? Can Hope still hold on to his credo of not selling players for money?

He roughly knows what he is worth, this money is not a small amount of money for Hoffenheim, if there is a team that offers such a value, can Hoffenheim still insist that he is not for sale?

What is the future of a team that is not willing to keep the core?

Will Hope think the team has won the Champions League for the first time in their history, so it's done?

"I have to see the attitude of the club......" Chu Zhongtian said to Zidane.

"I'm sure you'll see soon that there will be a lot of clubs coming to Hoffenheim to make offers for you in the near future. But I want you to be able to choose Real Madrid over any other team. Zidane said.

Chu Zhongtian lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Zidane: "Okay, I promise you." Qi Zu. If the club agrees to your offer, I will only negotiate a contract with you. ”

Zidane smiled, he ran over this time for this sentence.
