"Mr. Wen, Jin Ming, welcome."

Schalke's chairman, Clemens Tuunis, came to meet Wen Dongfang and Jin Ming in person.

Schalke's squad has not been very stable. Every time it comes to the transfer period, whether it is a summer transfer or a winter transfer, there are countless players coming in and out.

Because Schalke has always been a team that spends money, there are more changes in the lineup. As president of the club, Clemens Tunis is not often welcomed to new players.

Unless it's some superstar players.

But today I came to Jin Ming's side. This is definitely not how much Clemens Tunis values Jin Ming. European club presidents like Clemens Tunis generally look down on Asian football, and they don't look down on Asian players.

This is especially true for Chinese players.

After all, Chinese players have not been particularly successful in German football. Yang Chen helped Frankfurt relegate back then, which was the biggest contribution and the biggest success. Other players such as Shao Jiayi and Xie Hui can only be mixed in the German Second League. There is not much influence at all in the Bundesliga.

But Clemens Tunis still came.

Because he is not interested in Jin Ming, the player, but the Chinese market behind Jin Ming. Jin Ming came to Schalke this time, and Schalke only spent three million euros. But Clemens Tunis knows that Seoul FC has received five million euros.

The difference of 2 million euros was made up by Chinese companies.

This is not the purpose of Schalke's introduction of Jin Ming. Jin Ming has just transferred, and he is already helped by Chinese companies. Now that Jin Ming has arrived in Schalke, will there be any Chinese companies paying attention to Schalke?

That's what Clemens Tunis is concerned about.

Two million euros.

If a few Chinese companies really come to sponsor Schalke, and there are millions of euros a year, then Schalke will make money. Don't underestimate millions of euros, it's definitely not a small amount for Schalke.

At present, Schalke owes 250 million euros in debt alone, and the annual interest pressure on Schalke is breathless. The current situation is that as long as anyone is willing to give Schalke money, he is Schalke's uncle.

"Hello, President Tunis."

Since meeting with Marco, a scout, to discuss Jin Ming's transfer to Schalke, Wen Dongfang has been learning German in addition to running for Jin Ming's affairs. Wen Dongfang is a top student, but he graduated from Peking University in the early nineties.

Although he is almost forty years old, after more than half a year of study, although he does not dare to say that he is proficient in German, his German is not bad.

"This way."

Clemens Tunis and Wen Dongfang have a lot to say, while Jin Ming's German is very average, and other things need to be translated beyond simple provincial capital dialogue and football language. Jin Ming had only been learning German for about two months.

Therefore, Clemens Tunis just said a few words to Jin Ming, and then asked people to bring Jin Ming to the team.

"Brand, this is a new player."

"Is that the Chinese player?"

"Yes."

The staff first took Jin Ming to the physical examination room. Although almost all the contracts have been completed, the last step is not yet complete. That is to do the final medical examination.

The physical examination is not simple, but it is quite complicated.

After more than an hour of tossing, the physical examination report came out.

No problem.

After the physical examination, Jin Ming followed the staff to the training place of the first team. Magath stood there not knowing what to shout, and it was Magath's assistant coach Brande Hollerbach who came over.

This man can almost be said to be Magath's personal assistant coach.

Magath spent the first two seasons as head coach at Wolfsburg, and Hollerbach was Magath's assistant coach. After Magath came to Schalke, he fired Schalke's original coaching staff.

Then the coaching staff at Wolfsburg was transplanted to Schalke.

Hollebach skimmed Jin Ming next to him, with a hint of disdain on his face. As for the introduction of Chinese players, Magath is very opposed. It's not that Magath is biased against Chinese players, it's that he doesn't look down on Chinese players at all. Plus Magath hasn't been very happy since he came to Schalke this season.

Although Schalke paid Magath a high salary, the transfer fee was pitiful.

Now that he has spent three million euros for a Chinese player, Magath is quite unhappy. With these three million euros, it is completely possible to introduce a young talent in German football. It's just that although Magath is in power in Schalke, this time the matter is not something that Magath can decide.

This was the decision of the Schalke leadership. So Magath can only accept.

But that doesn't mean Magath is comfortable. The same is true of Hollerbach, also as Magath's assistant coach. That's why he looked at Jin Ming with disdain.

"Come with me."

Jin Ming learned German for two months, although it was not very good, but he could still understand simple words. Of course, if you speak English, it's even better. Because Jin Ming's English is still quite good.

Jin Ming's English was very good in school, and later in order to play football in Europe, he never relaxed his English learning during the three years in South Korea. It's a pity that this is Germany.

"Felix, that is the Chinese player introduced by the club."

Hollebach came to Magath's side, pointed to Jin Ming, and told him of his identity.

"Chinese players?"

Magath just looked at Jin Ming casually, and then didn't pay attention to Jin Ming. Magath is a power-hungry manager. The Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga and Premier League clubs have completely different models.

In the Premier League, the manager is the boss of the sporting world. Many clubs have a head coach who is also the club's head of athletics, and almost all of them have the final say in the field of athletics.

But the Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga are completely different. The manager is the head coach, the one who is responsible for training and the game. As for the transfer of players, it has little to do with the head coach, and the head coach can at most propose a proposal.

Magath is the only manager in the entire Bundesliga who is also the club's athletic manager.

The transfer of players is all in Magath's own hands. However, the club's top management forced him to give him a Chinese player, and the transfer fee given this summer was too small, which made Magath quite dissatisfied.

Therefore, he was also angry with Jin Ming.

"Brand, take him to the test."

Because Jin Ming is not a player handpicked by Magat, he is not interested in Jin Ming's information.

The club's hierarchy can stuff him with a player, but they don't have the right to ask Magath how to use the player. Hollebach led Jin Ming to the side to test. Although I don't like it, I still have to go through the procedure.

At the very least, Jin Ming's simple number jù has to be in hand.

Jin Ming didn't say anything all the way, and of course he couldn't say anything with his German level. Jin Ming already understands that Magath does not want to see him.

The mood is not very good.

After all, it's not good to just come to a new team, and the new manager doesn't want to see you.

Therefore, Jin Ming couldn't help but look at the players of Schalke's first team who were training. Magath does look very good, new players are coming, but none of the players are paying attention to Jin Ming's side.

Jin Ming saw a lot of familiar players.

Kuranyi, the big man up front, and Schalke's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, of course, including Raphinha on the right, and so on. Although Jin Ming has not usually watched much European games, Jin Ming still knows these players.

"Here, a hundred meters of testing. 100 meters, 100 understand? ”

Jin Ming's German is really not good.

Hollebach didn't understand what he said at the beginning. Hollerbach didn't seem to have much patience, and immediately raised the decibels, repeating it several times before Jin Ming understood what Hollerbach meant, so he nodded.

"Brand, that's the Chinese player?"

"Yes."

Hollebach pouted. Standing with him was Werner Leutard, the strength and conditioning coach of Schalke 04 and the coach who came to Schalke with Magath.

"Money is fucking shit. Now for the sake of some money, Chinese players have to be introduced. ”

Werner Leutard also complained.

Hurt self-esteem.

Absolutely. China, what kind of garbage country is that. When did the German club have to compromise with the Chinese players for economic reasons? When did we get to this point in German football?

"But first test his number."

"Leave it to me."

Werner Leutard nodded. He really didn't want to give a Chinese player, or came to the club for the Chinese market brat test. But there is no way, this is his job.
