"Why?"

Wen Dongfang asked Marco bluntly.

For Wen Dongfang, Jin Ming is a qiē. He gave up his original life plan and returned to football, just because he took a fancy to Jin Ming's outstanding talent. Now Wen Dongfang's work is focused on Jin Ming alone.

It is estimated that in addition to Jin Ming's parents, Wen Dongfang cares about Jin Ming the most.

Because Jin Ming's future achievements also determine Wen Dongfang's future achievements. So Wen Dongfang was very nervous about Jin Ming.

Therefore, Wen Dongfang wants to know the reason.

Marco looked at the very calm agent in front of him, and muttered in his heart, this person is not easy to deal with. Sure enough, just like the information I checked, being able to graduate from the highest university in a big country like China is definitely a very powerful person.

Since Wen Dongfang was so direct, Marco didn't hide it.

"Because of the Chinese market."

"The Chinese market?"

"Yes, it's the Chinese market. Schalke is in a bad economic situation at the moment, with a lot of debt. Same as Dortmund a few years ago. ”

Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04's sworn enemy.

Although the two families are mortal enemies, their way of doing things around the new millennium is very similar. Both clubs are big money and want to use that money to rise quickly.

It's a pity that they all suffered a huge blow.

Dortmund were close to bankruptcy in previous years, and Schalke was not in a good position. However, the two teams that are in deep economic crisis have very different options to get out of the crisis.

Borussia Dortmund has been controlling the budget for the past two years, and has just invited Klopp, a young coach, to propose a plan to reuse young players and control the team's budget. In order to get out of the current predicament.

And his sworn enemy, Schalke 04, chose a very different approach.

Schalke 04 is still spending lavishly, hoping to enter the Champions League and then use the rich income from the Champions League to pay off the debt. It's a pity that European football doesn't know how many clubs have tried this model.

Including Leeds United, the "Young Guard" around the turn of the millennium. It's a pity that there are no successful teams, and basically such teams can only go bankrupt in the end.

So Schalke is also open source. As you know, the world economy has not been good lately, and China's economy alone is outstanding. In recent years, Chinese companies have also made big inroads into Europe, and Schalke hopes to bring in a Chinese player to get sponsorship from Chinese companies. ”

At this point, Wen Dongfang understood what Marco meant.

Jin Ming wants to go to Europe, and it is not so easy. At least the current Jin Ming is still young, and he has not even entered the national team. For European clubs, Chinese football is not very good, and they are not even interested in learning about the national team.

Therefore, Jin Ming's travel to Europe is more difficult than Li Qinglong and Ji Chengyong.

Now Schalke has this meaning, and it depends on whether Wen Dongfang is willing or not. Wen Dongfang did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and thought about it for a long time. Then he slowly looked up, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "This is a good opportunity." ”

This model goes to Europe, and to be honest, it is a bit aggrieved.

And there are some shames.

After all, the other party is not interested in your strength, but the market behind you. This is a small shame for any player.

However, Wen Dongfang thought it through in a short time.

So what?

The Japanese players who moved to European football in the 90s of the last century were all in this pattern, and it was Japanese companies that sponsored the transfer of these players. Including the later great success of Hidetoshi Nakata is also this model. If it weren't for the sponsorship of Japanese companies at that time, it would have been difficult for Japanese players to enter European football so quickly.

But Hidetoshi Nakata was a success.

He conquered Serie A at that time with his own strength.

Don't talk about them, let's talk about Park Ji-sung. When Park Ji-sung moved from PSV Eindhoven to Manchester United, most of the media also believed that it was introduced by Manchester United in order to open up the Korean market.

But after all these years, who would say that.

Because of what. Because Park Ji-sung used his diligence and strength to change people's perceptions.

Nakata Young-shou, Park Ji-sung, their examples are there, why can't Kim Ming be the next Nakata Young-shou, the next Park Ji-sung. That's why Wen Dongfang nodded.

Seeing Wen Dongfang nodding, Marco was disdainful in his heart. This group of East Asian players, in order to go to Europe to play, are all frightened.

Of course, Marco, as a successful scout, would never express his disdain. So Marco continued: "Schalke need a Chinese player, but they need a player who is very famous in China. Players who can help them attract the attention of Chinese companies. ”

If it is an unknown person who does not attract Chinese companies, it is not raising a player for nothing.

Schalke, of course, is looking for a player who is very famous in Chinese football.

"You mean Jin Ming's fame isn't enough?"

"Yes."

Marco nodded.

Although Jin Ming has suddenly risen this year, he still belongs to the category of young players, and he cannot be compared with those stars who have been famous for many years.

Just like the entertainment industry.

Everyone is familiar with the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles. The sudden rise of a star in a certain period of time attracted all the attention for a period of time. But no matter how brilliant he is, everyone will not think that these stars who have just become famous can surpass those stars who have been famous for many years. When it comes to the real competition for popularity, they can't really surpass superstars like the "Four Heavenly Kings".

This is the case with Jin Ming.

Not to mention that compared with top Chinese football stars such as Zheng Zhi and Shao Jiayi, compared with Du Zhenyu, Zhou Haibin, Hao Junmin, and Zhao Xuri, a group of young players who have been famous in China for many years, Jin Ming is also at a disadvantage.

"You don't have to worry about that. Seoul FC will play in the AFC Champions League this season, so there is no need to worry about popularity. ”

Wen Dongfang was not worried at all.

Although Kim Ming is very good in the K-League table, the K-League is only a Korean league after all. No matter how much attention is paid to the Chinese football side, it will not really pay attention to the Korean league. Everyone is just a novelty, and suddenly there are young Chinese players who have emerged in the Korean league.

But this season's Seoul FC can play in the AFC Champions League.

The AFC Champions League is a big stage, at least in Asia. Maybe you will meet the teams of the Chinese Super League. The performance of the AFC Champions League directly determines Jin Ming's popularity.

"What does Mr. Moon mean to agree to such a transfer?"

"Of course."

"That's good. I will recommend Jin Ming to Schalke 04 in due course. ”

"Okay."

Wen Dongfang knew that Marco personally came to talk to him about Jin Ming's affairs today, not just for this. He hoped that Wen Dongfang and Jin Ming would understand, and he needed Jin Ming to make some expressions in this regard, and he also hoped to strengthen some contacts.

These things are written in the Oriental Gate.

Schalke 04?

Jin Ming's characteristics are indeed very good to go to the Bundesliga. In terms of technology, Jin Ming is certainly not as good as other teams in La Liga and French Ligue 1, but his basic skills are solid and his skills are not bad. In terms of body, Jin Ming is unlikely to be better than Premier League players, but he will not be much weaker than those European players.

And Jin Ming's biggest strength is speed.

With that, it should be able to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga.
