Chu Zhongtian took advantage of the holiday to inspect his business in North America and found that it was quite good, the Great China Restaurant now has ten branches, all of which are in big cities in the United States, and this restaurant has become synonymous with fine Chinese food. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info his business team is already making plans for him to expand into the European market.

Basically, Chu Zhongtian doesn't have to worry about these things, the business team will do the specific affairs, and the last person to check is his father. All he had to do was count the money. He didn't care how many assets he had now, and he had no worries about life anyway. In fact, there is not much cash, and the money earned is basically invested in it, and it rolls over more and more in the capital turnover.

The meeting with Emily's mother was a pleasant one—at least on the surface. Emily's mother would definitely not think that Chu Zhongtian was a perfect object, but her daughter liked it so much, what could she do? So on the surface, he was kind to Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian and Emily have been dating for three years, but they have not talked about marriage. On the one hand, they are still young and too busy in their careers, especially Emily. Getting married to a movie star will always affect their star career to a greater or lesser extent. Another aspect is naturally Emily's mother's attitude. Before getting Emily's mother, I am afraid that it will not be blessed for the two to get married...... But now Chu Zhongtian doesn't think about getting married for so long. He was only twenty-five years old, and it seemed to him that getting married should be something in his thirties.

When Chu Zhongtian was still in the United States and Emily enjoying the vacation, Rangnick's work had officially started on June 10.

In the Premier League, managerial managers are common, so they are all called 'managers' rather than 'coaches'. But in other countries, the manager is only responsible for leading the team in training and then directing the team's games, and the management and transfer rights of the team are not under their control. So every summer, when it's the most lively, the head coach basically watches the show, they wait for the rice to be cooked, instead of taking the initiative to find the rice.

Premier League managers can dictate the transfer market and make big plans, which is the envy of their counterparts in other leagues. Only the coach knows best what kind of players his team needs, so it stands to reason that the manager is the one who should manage the transfer rights, and those team managers often buy players with market value, commercial interests, fame and other things that do not help the team's performance at all.

As a result, the team managers bought a lot of players for the manager that they didn't need at all, but the manager couldn't express his dissatisfaction, and could only applaud every player who joined the team, saying that these people are the players he has been observing for a long time, they are very powerful, they can fully adapt to the team's tactics, and everyone is waiting for these stars to show their level in the new season!

Actually? At the start of the new season, it quickly becomes clear that the stars who had spent a lot of money at the club are either sitting on the bench and melancholy like princes, or they are sleepwalking in positions they are completely unfamiliar with. When he came down for an interview, he didn't dare to publicly offend the head coach, he could only say that competition was inevitable, and in order to get the starting position, he could play any position...... In the end, if the conflict intensifies, it is often two outcomes - if the club is on the side of the star players, then the manager had better get acquainted with each other and take the initiative to leave. What if the club is adamantly backing the manager? Stars who have played well in other teams may either sink off the bench for a season, or accept an unfamiliar position and try to make a new career in a new position, but there are very few such successes, and many of them have plummeted because they have not adapted to the new position and new tactics, and finally sold off by the club at a low price after a season or two.

In the Bundesliga, most coaches are like this and have no say.

Before Hoffenheim was promoted to the Bundesliga, Magath was the only one in the Bundesliga. He is the head coach and general manager of the club, overseeing the team's training and transfers. So at that time he was the only football manager in the Bundesliga. Later, Hoffenheim was promoted, Rangnick became the second football manager, and he also enjoyed a high degree of autonomy in Hoffenheim, and he had absolute say and decision in the transfer of the team, while the club's manager Shendelmze was only responsible for approving the transfer and then asking the club's finance department to give money.

If he is only the coach of the team, then his holiday can last until June 20, but as the manager of the team, he has to come to work at the club early.

The first is renewal and cleanup. The team's and the club's substitute goalkeeper Daniel. Haas renewed his contract. He had been the first-choice goalkeeper in the previous season and had also been a substitute goalkeeper. Even after the arrival of Hildebrand, because of Thiem's injury, he also started several important games, and his performance was not bad, although not enough to be the team's main goalkeeper, but the first backup goalkeeper was no problem.

And poor Ozcan can only serve as the second substitute goalkeeper. Who made him not to please head coach Rangnick? When Rangnick supported him, he didn't fight for himself.

Talks are underway with Eduardo's contract extension, and the two sides now have some differences. The main thing is that Eduardo thinks he did well last season and deserves a better salary. Because Chu Zhongtian's annual salary after tax is three million, he feels that he shouldn't be too bad. But the team's manager, Shender Meize, doesn't want the team's salary levels to be too disjointed. Although Hoffenheim has money, he can't spend it indefinitely, and if he gives Eduardo such an example, other players will follow suit, and then everyone will increase their wages, but the salary level will be higher and higher, so high that Hoffenheim can not sustain it. So he rejected Eduardo's agent's offer, and the two sides are now a bit stiff. Shendelmeze is not worried about not renewing his contract. Anyway, Eduardo did well last season, and if he wants to sell it for a good price, isn't the Russian Premier League team Zenit St. Petersburg interested in him? And his role in the team is not irreplaceable. His position and role in Selihovic overlapped, and he took turns playing with Sarihovic for most of last season until the final stage of the league, because the team returned to 442, Weiss went to the middle to play with Chu Zhongtian as a double midfielder, and Eduardo played at the same time as Sarihovic, and the real irreplaceable person in the team was Chu Zhongtian.

The clean-up is progressing more slowly. After all, the team won the Bundesliga title and is about to participate in next season's UEFA Champions League, such a great future is unthinkable for the previous Hoffenheim players, how can they be willing to leave? If you go to other teams and you are not champions, you can't play in the Champions League.

The only players who may leave the team are those who can't play at Hoffenheim, but there are some players who are interested in the middle and lower teams, even the lower league teams, and they know that staying at Hoffenheim, the Champions League or anything has nothing to do with them, and the honor of Hoffenheim they don't contribute much. Staying at Hoffenheim and playing without a ball is not a good option.

So Hoffenheim's clean-up work started mainly with these people.

Former captain Terber has confirmed his departure, something that was confirmed last season. Before the team disbanded last season, Tebel thanked his teammates. Although he has been on the bench for more of the season and has been mediocre, only scoring in the first meeting with Schalke 04. But being able to lift the Bundesliga Champions League trophy as a member of Hoffenheim was still the best moment of his life. That Bundesliga gold medal will also be the best memorial to his time at Hoffenheim.

He has already decided where to settle down next season, and Eintracht Frankfurt, who are also Bundesliga teams, are fortunate not to go to the lower leagues to spend their days. After negotiating with the club, he will go to Eintracht Frankfurt as a free transfer player, and Hoffenheim did not charge a transfer fee, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for Teber. Free transfer players are often eligible for higher salaries, because they save the new club a lot of money on the transfer fee, and the new owner will naturally have to put some money into the salary in return. In addition, free transfers save the team on the transfer budget, and the team has more money to supplement the salary budget.

It's a win-win thing.

With the exception of Teber, the purge of the rest of the players has not progressed quickly.

There are personnel changes within the team here, and the work in the transfer market cannot be relaxed. Although the summer transfer market does not open until July 1, negotiations can already begin.

For Hoffenheim's head coach Ralph. For Rangnick, bringing in players is his biggest headache.

Before the start of last season, the team did not have any goals, if it must be said that it was only to stay in the Bundesliga, so the players introduced were mainly young and potential, even if Chu Zhongtian was only twenty-four years old at the time, and Ibisevic was twenty-three years old, which is not too old. But this season, the team needs to play on multiple fronts, especially in the Champions League, which is a very experience-oriented stage. If you just blindly bring in young players, Hoffenheim will not go very far.

Rangnick certainly doesn't want Hoffenheim to go home just one lap in the group stage, he doesn't even want to play in the UEFA Cup, and the team's minimum goal is to reach the knockout stages.

This will require the introduction of some older, but more experienced players. In the past, Rangnick did not look down on older players, and he has something in common with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, both of whom like young goblins. Hoffenheim last season was dubbed the "Goblin Camp" by many FM players, because there were many young players in the team who were considered to have great potential in the game.

Rangnick once said in an interview that the 27-year-old Ronaldinho is too old for him and his team...... Thus.

But that mindset must change, or his side will struggle to defend their league title and compete in the Champions League. Older players are not a liability, but a valuable asset. There is a Chinese saying that if there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure. It's the same thing when you put it in the team.

The first to enter Rangnick's field of vision was naturally Hertha Berlin central defender Simunich, who hooked up with Hertha Berlin during the winter break and was unsuccessful for half a day.

Simunic has made 70 appearances for the Croatian national team and has a wealth of international experience. He played in Hamburg from 1997-98 and moved to Hertha Berlin in early 2000, where he played for nine and a half seasons. The Croatian has not been a first-line defender in the Bundesliga, not as good as Lucio and others in terms of strength and fame, but he suddenly exploded last season, making 29 league appearances and being scored 2.88 by "Kicker", which is tied with Lahm for the best defender in the Bundesliga.

Originally, Hoffenheim wanted to get the best defender in the Bundesliga, because he has a deep relationship with Hertha Berlin. But not long after the season ended, the conflict between Simunic and manager Favre erupted.

Head coach Favre has claimed he doesn't believe Simunic will stay in the team next season. Such remarks made Simunic, who already had opinions about him, feel that the manager did not trust and respect him, and proposed a transfer. Although the misunderstanding with the manager has since been cleared up, he still insists on leaving. Maybe for him, after nine and a half years in a team, it's already a bit of aesthetic fatigue, not only for the club, but for the club.

He also wanted a change of scenery. Under Simunic's contract with Hertha Berlin, if the club can shell out seven million euros by the end of June, he could climb to another level. And if no team pays this price within this period, then Hertha Berlin can increase Simunich's value and try to squeeze as much "surplus value" as possible from the 31-year-old veteran.

In fact, Hertha Berlin played with this idea. Simunic is 31 years old, and for the pros, his career is starting to decline, and although the centre-backs often play until the age of 35 or 6, their best years are only two or three years left.

For such a 31-year-old central defender, seven million is worth much. In the eyes of the Bundesliga club, which is known for its thrift and thrift, it must be crazy to shell out seven million for a 31-year-old old centre-back.

So although there are clubs that are interested in him, as soon as they see the value of seven million, they all become hesitant and plan to wait and see.

Now only Simunich's old club Hamburg intends to pay to bring back the new Bundesliga best defender, but they only pay 4 million, and then plan to bargain with Hertha Berlin, anyway, there are nearly 20 days until June 30, they are not in a hurry.

Rangnick is keen on the veteran centre-back and, despite Simunic's slow pace, is confident that the experience of last season's best defender in the Bundesliga can help the team, even if not in the game, to show value on the training pitch. As for the money...... It's really not a problem for a team like Hoffenheim, which is called a "nouveau riche" by outsiders.

However, buying players should also pay attention to strategy, and you can't just rely on money.

Rangnick did not make an immediate move after communicating with Shendelmeize, nor did he reveal to the media that they were interested in Simunich and intended to make a bid. Instead, be patient and wait for your chance.

They soon waited for an opportunity – the Hamburg club's sporting director, Beiersdorf, was suddenly out of class!

Taking advantage of the fact that Hamburg had not yet found a replacement, the transfer activities of the entire club were all at a standstill, Hoffenheim stabbed out obliquely and directly offered a transfer fee of 7 million. This price has reached the figure agreed in the contract between Simunich and Hertha Berlin, so Hertha Berlin has to let Simunich and Hoffenheim negotiate the price.

For Simunic, he thought it would be a good idea to go back to Hamburg, after all, that's where his Bundesliga career began. But after Hoffenheim joined, he quickly changed his mind. It's nice to go back to Hamburg, but Hamburg is sixth this season and just playing in the UEFA Cup. And what is Hoffenheim? It's the league champion! What can they play in next season? It's the UEFA Champions League! This is the highest honor among clubs, and even the Club World Cup is not as influential and valuable as the Champions League.

Obviously, the Champions League is more attractive than the UEFA Cup.

In the face of Hoffenheim's invitation, Simunich almost did not hesitate to express to his agent that he was willing to go to Hoffenheim, and almost non-Hoffenheim did not go.

Since Lang is affectionate and the concubine is intentional, this matter is simple. Negotiations between Hoffenheim and Simunich went well. Eventually, Hoffenheim signed a three-year contract with Simunich, and after three years he would be 34 years old, at which point the prime period was basically over, and he could retire to a small team, rather than stay in a team with great ambitions.

After the two sides agreed, both teams confirmed the transfer deal at the same time. By the time Hamburg came to his senses, Hoffenheim's official website had already announced the signing of last season's best defender in the Bundesliga.

Hamburg had to grit his teeth and curse Hoffenheim as a rich nouveau riche. With money, you can do everything.

But who can they blame? Since you want to buy people, you are reluctant to pay, so you will naturally be exploited by your opponents. Hoffenheim do have money anyway, and that's their advantage, so why not take advantage of it?

In the transfer market, as long as you don't use underhanded means and follow the rules, you can't blame.

Simunich is Hoffenheim's first signing of the season, with $7 million in the Bundesliga's best defender, and Hoffenheim have shown their ambitions for next season and they are not willing to be a passing guest in the Champions League.

Next, Rangnick will continue to strengthen the team in the transfer market. With last season's league title as his backing, he is also qualified and emboldened to ask the team's owner, Hope, to shell out more money to buy people.

Hoffenheim are destined to be one of the protagonists in the transfer market this summer.
