Chapter 26: The German Twin Stars (Part I)
Arneson found out that Tony Kroos was also based on fate, and after Arneson arrived in Germany, he met an old colleague at the airport who was also a scout, and this scout was tasked with inspecting Tony Kroos, who had a game that day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Arneson heard Tony Kroos' name for the first time from his mouth. I don't know if it was out of professional instinct or predestined, Arneson actually went to Rostock to visit Tony Kroos, who was still in the Rostock youth team at the time. It took only one game for Tony Kroos to conquer Arneson's discerning eye.
Great vision, good big-picture view, great passing. He can play anywhere in midfield, up front, at the back, at midfield, but with a little revamping, he is even more powerful in the playmaker's midfield, like AC Milan's Andre Pirlo. That's Arneson's pertinent assessment of Tony Kroos. Arneson just made a brief evaluation, but it was a word about the development of Toni Kroos in the future, Chen Zhun remembered that the later Toni Kroos played the role of an organizational midfielder when he was in Real Madrid, and gave full play to his vision and long-pass ability.
When Chen Zhun heard the news, he did not hesitate at all, and told Arneson to stay in Rostock City and he would go immediately. He's going to see for himself what Tony Kroos is capable of, and he's going to talk to Kroos. Chen Zhun's later memories know that it was in the 2004-2005 season of the German Under-17 Youth Football Championship, he helped Rostock to a runner-up finish, that he attracted the attention of Bayern Munich scouts, and finally joined Bayern Munich. Chen Zhun wants to win Kroos and Ozil, the two German twin stars, on this trip to Germany, so as not to have worries.
Chen Zhun did not rush to the airport, but went to the training base first. He wanted to explain the situation to the chairman, Rupert Lowe, after all, he was the chairman, and he still had to report it.
Rupert Rowe thought for a long, long time, first reading Ozil's scouting report and then calling Arneson in Germany. He heard Arneson's high opinion of Tony Kroos on the phone, and he gritted his teeth and stamped his foot symbolically agreed to Chen Zhun's request to buy the two young German players, after all, after the match with Bolton, Rupert Lowe had decided to correct David Winston and told him that he had the right to be the general manager, and the two young players could still afford it. Rupert Lowe, who loves young demons, also doesn't want to miss such a talent, after all, with the world's best youth directors and one of the best scouts in the UK as a guarantee, the quality of the players is still in the past.
Chen Zhun was also reassured by Rupert Rowe's superb means of buying people, and he knew in later life that Rupert Rowe bought 17-year-old Morgan Schneiderlin for only 1.2 million euros. This is a Rupert Lowe classic.
At the end of the phone call, Arneson and Chen Zhun told Chen Zhun that the Rostock youth team would play against the red and white Essen youth team the day after tomorrow. Tony Kroos and Mesut Ozil are among those teams that Chen is interested in.
After Chen Zhun said goodbye to Rupert Lowe, he hurriedly instructed Reed to arrange the training for the past few days, and then hurried to the airport. At this time, Rupert Lowe, who was in the chairman's office, thought for a long time, and he found that his head coach David Winston was getting more and more different from before, the previous David Winston always stood respectfully in his office, and now David Winston sat down automatically when he arrived in the office, and there was no etiquette at all. David Winston, who used to only like young English players, was disgusted by outsiders entering the Premier League, believing that outsiders squeezed the playing time of young English players, which would affect the hopes of English football. But now David Winston seems to be more interested in the development of overseas teenagers, and his scouting assignments are also spread all over Europe. Rupert Lowe thought about it for a long time and didn't come to any conclusions, so he had to think that it was just because he wasn't very familiar with David Winston before and didn't know the real David Winston.
The city of Rostock, the city of the once democratic East Germany. Located on the coast of the Baltic Sea, a city in northern Germany. Chen Zhun didn't have time to take care of the scenery along the road, and after arriving in Rostock, he found Arneson in the hotel.
The day after tomorrow is the match between Rostock and Red and White Essen Youth. Arneson is looking forward to the performance. In fact, Chen Zhun didn't really want to watch this game, Chen Zhun knew the strength of these two stars, he just came to Germany to see the stars, and by the way, he signed them, so as not to let others grab them.
September 5th. The training ground of the Rostock youth team ushered in an ordinary warm-up match. The two sides were Rostock and Red and White Essen. There were few spectators on the sidelines, mostly parents of players and scouts from various clubs, including Arneson and Chen Zhun.
Rostock's youth team was firmly in the driver's seat throughout the game, under the control of Tony Kroos, who was just 14 years old at the time, and his teammates were on average two years older than him. In later generations, the media also awarded Tony Kroos the title of "the last master of the GDR". The team-mates on the pitch seemed accustomed to having the little brother at the heart of the pitch, and when Toni Kroos got the ball, the rest of the players were running. In the final match, Rostock also won 3-1 against the Red and White Essen team. Toni Kroos' two passes and one shot became the biggest contributor. And the contribution to the red and white Essen team is the other star that Arneson and Chen Zhun will be looking at, Mesut Ozil. Mesut Ozil was equally impressive today, with the mediocre Red and White Essen team under his leadership having the advantage of attacking each other with Rostock in the first half. At just 16 years old at the time, Mesut Ozil had already shown his ghostly passing skills. It's just that Kroos's dazzling dazzle overshadowed Ozil's brilliance, but his performance Chen Zhun and Arneson were both in sight.
After the game, Arneson proudly said to Chen Zhun: "How is it, David, the players I inspected are very good!" ”
Chen Zhun complimented: "Indeed, Frank. Your vision is world-class. I'm going to decide on these two players. I also made sense on the side of the chairman, Rupert Lowe. The club will pay for the two players. The transfer is up to you! ”
"Wrap it around me. David. ”
"Let's go, let's go see the future football superstar, Tony Kroos." Chen Zhun said, his eyes looked at the little Cross who had packed up his things.
