Chapter 27: The German Twins (Part II)

Chen Zhun and Arneson came to the Rostock youth team bench. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info They found Tony Kroos talking to his father, who is also the coach of the Rostock youth team.

Chen Zhun gave Arneson a look, and Anneson understood and walked in front of Cross and his son. Chen Zhun, who was wearing a beret and sunglasses, quietly followed behind Arneson.

Arneson stepped forward, greeted the old Cross warmly, and gave the old Cross his business card, and the old Cross, who was still a little cautious at first, saw the name of Frank Arneson on the business card, and his expression was greatly relieved. It seems that he also knows Arneson's name.

Arneson got straight to the point: "Hello sir, I'm Frank Arneson, the head of youth at Southampton in the Premier League. I've been watching your son for a while now. I would like to invite your children to our club to receive some of the best youth training in Europe. After Arneson finished speaking, he introduced Chen Zhun behind him, but Chen Zhun's identity became Arneson's assistant.

Kroos Sr. smiled and said: "My kid is enjoying his training at Rostock now, he is not going anywhere. ”

Arneson continued: "But he can't learn much more here. There are no professional facilities, no systematic training, no better platform. If you come to our Southampton club, if your child performs well, they can play for Southampton's first team in the Premier League. Also, if your son comes to Southampton, we will also have you coach in our youth squad. ”

The elder Kroos was obviously a little moved to listen, he knew in his heart that Rostock FC would always be a springboard for his son, and Tony Kroos's future would be in Europe's top five leagues. He wants his son to go to a Bundesliga giant like Bayern Munich, but there is a lot of talent there, and there is no place for Tony Kroos at all, so it is better to let him go to a team that is willing to give him a chance, train himself, and then go to the giants later. And the elder Kroos knows Southampton's name, and there are indeed some of the best academy in Europe.

The elder Kroos also saw the yearning in his son's eyes, and this was the first time Tony Kroos had seen a team from the big leagues who wanted him, and he couldn't wait to go.

Old Cross nodded and said, "I've agreed to go to your club here." But you still have to negotiate a transfer with Rostock. ”

Chen Zhun, who was hiding behind Arneson, clenched his fists excitedly. The reason why he didn't come forward was because he was afraid of unnecessary trouble, and if anyone said that the Southampton manager communicated with the players in private and dug into other people's corners in the future, it would be a big scandal and he might be punished.

Arneson said happily: "Yes, sir, I look forward to Tony's coming to Southampton FC soon." Then he looked at Tony Cross next to him and said, "Tony, look forward to your arrival!" ”

After Arneson and Chen said goodbye to the Kroos father and son, they found that Mesut-Ozil was gone. Chen then asked Arneson to tell chairman Rupert Lowe to formally discuss the transfer of Tony Kroos with Rostock. Chen Zhun and Arneson are going to Essen to take Mesut Ozil.

Chen Zhun and Arneson arrived in Essen the next day and went non-stop to the location of the Red and White Essen Club. Chen Zhun did not go with Arneson and stayed in the hotel.

About three hours later, Arneson returned in good spirits. Chen Zhun saw this expression, indicating that he had achieved success.

Arneson said: "500,000 euros for the training. Mesut Ozil has officially moved to Southampton. After dealing with things in Germany, Mesut and his family flew to Southampton to formally sign the contract. I've met Mesut, what a quiet little fellow. I heard that Schalke 04 also wanted him, but he never came. This time we really got the head start. The transfer of Toni Kroos is also underway, and it is estimated that the transfer will be successful in the next few days. ”

Arneson continued: "Both are rare talents, with Mesut and Tony both on well-paid apprenticeship contracts and a five-year professional contract when they reach 18. ”

Chen Zhun returned to the UK early the next morning, while Frank Arneson stayed in Germany to settle the transfer and then moved on to Poland.

Chen Zhun knew in his heart that in Poland, there were still two superstars waiting for Arneson's inspection. Two important players on Chen Zhun's future map. Kuba and Lewandowski.

In the past few days of Chen Zhun's trip to Germany, the first round of the 2006 World Cup European qualifiers also kicked off. In the match played on September 5, some European giants were happy and some worried. Portugal won 2-0 away at Latvia, England pulled off a big upset, they were held to a 2-2 draw away from home by Austria, France were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Israel, Albania beat new European Cup champions Greece 2-1 at home and Italy beat Norway 2-1.

In the training on September 6, Chen Zhun saw that Reed did not arrange tactical training, but only kept his physical fitness on a daily basis to maintain his game condition. Because of the lack of games, Chen Zhun has been idle these days, and he went to the junior team again, to see the more future players, and also to see Stones, who just joined last month, and he is looking forward to the arrival of Tony Kroos. Chen Zhun was thinking about Cross when Arneson's phone rang at the right time.

"Hey, David, I have good news and bad news, you want to hear that first?" On the other end of the line was Arneson's happy voice.

Chen Zhun heard the usually serious Arneson say such words, almost not tired, he rolled his eyes and thought in his heart, could it be that the Chinese characteristics in my bones have infected you, how can I speak more and more like Chinese.

"Good news." Chen Zhun still said seriously.

'The good news is that Toni Kroos has signed for €800,000 and there are some floating bonuses that will be activated after he officially plays for Southampton's first team, totalling €600,000.

When Chen Zhun heard Arneson's good news, he had the illusion of hearing the familiar line, "Cow dung is everywhere!" "This kid has a big brain.

"And what about the bad news?"

"I discussed with Rostock and Kroos Sr. and decided to let Tony Kroos finish secondary school in Rostock before coming to Southampton. That is, in July 2006. ”

"I see, two years is very fast, and it doesn't hurt." Chen Zhun said so, but when he thought of it, it was two years away. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to play Kroos himself in two years' time. It is possible that Chen Zhun at that time had already wandered the world and became a new tinker.

However, Chen Zhun is still very excited about the arrival of these two German superstars in Southampton, and the only regret is that they cannot contribute immediate combat power now. The winter transfer period also has to buy some players who are in the year of playing. This situation gave Chen Zhun a little headache.

After Chen Zhun hung up Arneson's phone, he returned to the first-team training ground and continued his boring life as a supervisor. Chen Zhun is now looking forward to the time when there will be a game, so at least the time will pass a little faster.
