131 Things are not people

"Raphael, is Kevin really gone?"

Jin Ming was really tired this summer.

Basically, I didn't have much rest. Within a few days of returning home, he began to accept various invitations non-stop. In addition to participating in various endorsement ceremonies, he also participated in some commercial performances. Of course, in addition to these, there are also program invitations from major TV stations.

Some can be refused.

But some can't refuse. Such as CCTV's invitation and the invitation of his hometown station, Jin Ming could not refuse. After all, Jin Ming is still a small character, and if he is too arrogant, it will easily cause a backlash from the media. This is not good for Jin Ming, who is currently building an image.

Of course, these are not without rewards. These activities have brought Jin Ming countless monetary rewards. Even Jin Ming's speed of collecting money is faster than that of European giants in China.

Jin Ming unknowingly, the appearance fee is getting higher and higher.

Participating in some commercial performances, just by showing your face and saying a few words in the past, you can get a seven-figure benefit. Jin Ming didn't think of this before.

So there is hardly any time to rest.

Jin Ming has been in China for two months, and he has been running non-stop from city to city. It wasn't until July that Jin Ming returned to Germany again, probably back to the Schalke 04 training camp in Austria.

Too much has changed.

Back at the club's training camp, Jin Ming couldn't see Kuranyi anymore. Kuranyi signed a contract with Dynamo Kyiv in June and became a player for Dynamo Kyiv. This made Jin Ming very surprised, and he couldn't even understand it. Although in the winter transfer period and near the end of the season, Kuranyi also had a lot of scandals.

But Kim Ming always believed that Kuranyi would not leave Schalke.

Because Kuranyi's table last season was very good. Kuranyi was the top scorer in the Bundesliga last season, scoring 24 Bundesliga goals for Schalke. Dzeko, who beat Wolfsburg, got the top scorer. And Kuranyi's twenty-four goals were a penalty kick and none of them.

What's more, Kuranyi is only twenty-eight years old. Based on his age and his form, he is definitely one of the best goalscorers in the current Bundesliga. How could he choose to leave.

Why did he leave, Jin Ming really didn't understand.

In the current Schalke 04, Jin Ming and Kuranyi have the best relationship. The relationship is good, including many aspects. One of the most prominent aspects is that Jin Ming and Kuranyi cooperate very tacitly.

Although last season was the first time the two had worked together, it was like working together for many years. In the Schalke team, Kuranyi is the best player to work with Jin Ming.

Therefore, Jin Ming least wanted Kuranyi to go.

"Yes, let's go."

Raphinha nodded. Then he looked at Jin Ming and said, "Actually, I was sure that he would leave." ”

"Why?"

"Do you know what Kevin's salary is?"

"It's like an annual salary of four million euros."

In fact, player contracts are kept secret. Neither the club nor the player has ever announced a real contract. It's just that many journalists have their own channels and can know their contracts.

Kuranyi is the highest-paid player at Schalke, earning up to four million euros a year.

"Yes, exactly. Felix originally wanted to cut Kevin's salary at the beginning of last season, and has always wanted Kevin to reduce his salary. Even during the winter break, he was ready to let Kevin leave Schalke. It's just that Kevin was excellent later, and the club wanted to renew his contract with Kevin. But Kevin was already reluctant to stay at Schalke. ”

"You're saying Kevin doesn't have a good relationship with Coach Magath either?"

"Of course."

Raphinha nodded.

Jin Ming was stunned. Jin Ming always thought that Kuranyi and Magath had a good relationship. After all, it was Magath who single-handedly excavated Kuranyi and made Kuranyi famous in German football. Magath is considered to be Kuranyi's mentor.

Suddenly, Jin Ming understood something. Jin Ming is a foreign player, and Jin Ming is also the first Chinese player to participate in a strong team in the Bundesliga. This is true for Chinese players like Jin Ming, and so is Wen Dongfang, Jin Ming's agent.

Wen Dongfang has many years in Chinese football and has a wide network of contacts in Chinese football. But in a foreign country, here in German football, his connections are much worse. Agents like those in Germany are inextricably linked to the club.

Some agents grew up at the club. In the club, there is a relationship between the president of the club, the sweeper and the gatekeeper of the club. There is any disturbance in the club, they are well understood.

But Wen Dongfang can't.

Therefore, whether it is Wen Dongfang or Jin Ming, they are lagging behind in some news. Some of the information within the club is even more smeared.

But Raphinha they are different. Raphinha's agents are all people with huge connections in the Bundesliga. Like Raphinha, they all have two or three agents, agents who talk about transfers, agents who talk about advertising, and so on.

Magath is Kuranyi's mentor, and even if the two of them really have an awkwardness, they will be very careful. There is no casual disagreement between them, and only those who have a deep relationship with the club will understand what is going on. And Jin Ming's relationship is relatively far away, and he didn't find it.

"Why did he just leave?"

Although he began to understand the reason, Jin Ming still sighed.

How did Kuranyi go.

"Raphael, when are you leaving?"

"It's coming."

"Where is it?"

"It's going to be a Serie A team."

Raphinha is definitely gone, Jin Ming knows. Raphinha and Schalke have one year left on their contracts, and not long ago Raphinha directly rejected Schalke's request to renew his contract.

Of course, Schalke is also unwilling to renew Raphinha's contract, or Magath is unwilling to renew Raphinha's contract.

"Oops. Shit, I don't even understand what the hell is going on right now. ”

Jin Ming scratched the back of his head.

Jin Ming really doesn't understand. Schalke is not a team in the process of rebuilding, but a champion team that won the Bundesliga last season. The most important thing a team like this should do is not to stabilize the core of the team.

Then fill in the team's holes.

But why?

Why is Schalke so different. Top scorers like Kuranyi have left the club, and the core of last season's team has been let go one by one, and Jin Ming really doesn't understand why.

…………

"Is this true?"

Jin Ming always thought that Schalke would be Raphinha next to leave, but when the next list of departures came out, Jin Ming was taken aback.

"Why? Why is that? ”

Jin Ming is really inexplicable.

Kuranyi is gone, and Jin Ming can't figure it out. Now this is even more confusing to Jin Ming.

"Who knows."

Raphinha shrugged. It was already known that Raphinha had decided to leave the club long before the end of the season. But by now, Raphinha hadn't left, but the others were starting to leave.

Bordon chose to retire due to his age, Holteby went out on loan, Kuranyi left for Russia, and Sanchez and Asamoah also left Schalke. Schalke's heroes who won the championship last season are leaving one by one

They're gone, and now someone is being purged out of the club.

It's really cleaning.

Schalke's captain last season, Westerman, was sold by Schalke. Westerman had just left the club's training camp and gave the players a huge shake.

Who is Westerman?

That's a Schalke veteran, and he's in his prime as a defender. He has always been conscientious and conscientious in Schalke, and his prestige in Schalke is very high for so many years. He doesn't have scandals with other clubs, and he doesn't often appear in front of the media, so he is a really low-key player.

When Jin Ming first came to Schalke, he received a lot of help from Westerman.

But such a player was sold by the club.

Seven and a half million euros.

Jin Ming really couldn't figure it out. Jin Ming's friends in the Schalke team, Kuranyi and Holterby are gone. Westerman, who had helped Jin Ming, was also leaving, and Raphinha, who was next to him, was also leaving soon.

Suddenly, Jin Ming felt hurt.

The joy of winning the championship last season is completely gone.

Why is this so.

With Jin Ming's young age and experience, he can't understand the team's current situation at all.
