Chapter 149: Ozil and Schweinsteiger

Bergkamp eventually agreed, and he couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

The temptation to retire and be able to serve as Wansheng's assistant coach is too great, not to mention, he also wants to see how Wansheng's coaching style is different from Wenger, being able to lead two teams to win the league championship for two consecutive seasons, which is a miracle in itself, the young Chinese who created this miracle, he can see it every day, and there seems to be nothing magical about it, so is there something new in his coaching style?

When you learn these things and then coach a team on your own, will you be so successful?

These are the reasons that prompted Bergkamp to agree, and perhaps he is not the only one in England and even Europe, and many media outlets are digging into the secret of Wansheng's success.

But what made Bergkamp make up his mind was not how good Wansheng was, how mysterious it was, how hard-won this opportunity was, etc., but his wife - Helita.

That night, both Wansheng and Bergkamp drank some wine and returned to the hotel slightly drunk.

At eleven o'clock, Anita and Helita also returned.

So Bergkamp saw his wife with a big bag and a happy face, and stepped forward to ask what she bought, and Helita took out the clothes, bags and cosmetics she bought, and happily introduced to her husband, "Look at this, it suits me very well, right?" Anita said I look good with it! She's such a lovely girl! ”

"And this shirt, I like this one the most......"

"These shoes suit you very well, and you can wear them when you watch the game, they are very casual and relaxing."

"I also bought Mitchell model toys......"

“……”

Listen to the introduction of his wife one by one. Bergkamp brushed aside the corners of his mouth with a toothache, and he paid attention to the label of the packet, L+V. Nine thousand euros, as well as other clothes, shoes, almost all of them are luxury brands.

Just a few small bags, it is estimated that his salary at Arsenal for half a week is about the same.

Then Bergkamp suddenly thought about life after retirement.

With the original savings, saving a little is enough for the family to live for more than ten years. When Mitchell grows up, he will think about doing something, and it will be good to live his life in peace.

That was the previous thought. It's different now.

Helita is used to luxury!

Maybe he was too.

They didn't have to worry about money at all, but now they have to think about it, because after retiring, he doesn't have a high salary. There is no high income. Spending money on savings alone. Sooner or later, there will be a day when you will become poorer.

What to do on that day?

Who would squander millions of euros on Bergkamp because his name is him? Nobody, no.

So he has to work, and still do a high-paying job, and the only thing he can do is football coaching, if he can become the assistant coach of that young Chinese, plus his own fame, with an annual salary of more than 300,000 euros. There should still be some, right?

That's just enough for a family.

But without these hundreds of thousands of euros, he and Helita would have become impoverished. He couldn't grasp what was going to happen, it was a little too scary.

So the next day Bergkamp called Rob Jason in the morning and asked him to start getting in touch with Manchester City, while he took his wife and children and had breakfast with Wan Sheng and told him his decision by the way.

"I don't think I have a reason to refuse." Bergkamp said very solemnly, "I also want to see what magical skills you have, you can actually lead two teams to win the championship for two consecutive seasons!" ”

Hearing Bergkamp's decision, Wan Sheng smiled.

At this time, the most dazed is Bergkamp's agent Rob Jason, because Bergkamp has confirmed that he is going to retire before, and his signing contract with Bergkamp will end here, but I didn't expect Bergkamp to let him contact Manchester City, what does this mean? Bergkamp want to play for another year? Going to Manchester City?

This is good news for him, and it means that he will have an extra income.

So Rob Jason ignored the specific reason, anyway, he could ask Bergkamp face to face when he saw him in the future, and he flew directly to Manchester to discuss Bergkamp's contract with Manchester City FC.

It wasn't hard to finalize Bergkamp's contract, as long as a reasonable price was offered, but Wan Sheng kept Anita and flew back to Manchester himself, and he had to deal with a few other things while talking about Bergkamp's contract.

When he heard Wan Sheng talk about signing Bergkamp, the club's chairman Waddell was surprised to stuff an egg in his mouth, and he didn't believe that he would hear such a thing at all?

You say Bergkamp is not retiring, but wants to come to Manchester City for a year?

Is this possible......

He didn't believe it at first, but after seeing Wan Sheng's solemn expression, and then knowing about Rob Jason's arrival, he was sure that it was true.

Then Waddell was very excited, you must know that it was Bergkamp, the Dutch 'Ice Prince', Arsenal's absolute main striker in the past ten years, one of the superstars of world football, not a passerby professional player A, a passerby professional player B, this news alone can make Manchester City club famous, and will attract a lot of media attention at home and abroad.

This is just fame and commercial interests, as for whether the arrival of Bergkamp will enhance the strength of the team, that is something that Wansheng needs to consider, and he doesn't care much.

In addition, Bergkamp is still on a free transfer, so it is natural to improve in terms of treatment.

So the salary negotiation was much easier, and Bee Nix waved his hand and gave an annual salary of 2.5 million.

That means Bergkamp will be paid £50,000 a week at Manchester City, no less than he did when he was at Arsenal.

Rob Jason thinks about it, and also thinks that it is quite good for Bergkamp to get 2.5 million pounds in his final year, not to mention whether Bergkamp will go to other clubs, and no club will be willing to pay such a high salary to the aging Bergkamp.

So Rob Jason called Bergkamp, who agreed to the offer.

The contract between the two parties was soon finalized and it was waiting for Bergkamp to come to Manchester for a signing ceremony.

Bergkamp has a 'fear of flying'. He didn't want to leave Germany for Manchester overnight, so the contract could only be finalised after the World Cup, but it was a certainty.

Soon there was 'gossip' revealed. Bergkamp will join Manchester City.

As soon as the news first appeared, no one believed it, almost everyone thought that Bergkamp would choose to retire, and Arsenal had decided to give Bergkamp a retirement game next month, so most people thought it was just a rumor, and it was an unqualified rumor, because no one would believe it.

But soon a reporter posted a photo of Wan Sheng and Bergkamp drinking together. Coupled with Rob Jason's appearance in Manchester and his entry into the Manchester City club, a Manchester City club official claiming that Bergkamp would join Manchester City, etc., the scattered news all points to one answer - Bergkamp is really going to join Manchester City!

The news took everyone by surprise!

Manchester City actually won the Dutch 'Ice Prince' Bergkamp? What's going on? Bergkamp doesn't retire directly, they are all 37 years old and want to play for another year?

What a surprise!

The pro-Manchester media rejoiced. Bergkamp can still be in shape when he comes to Manchester City, whether it is for retirement, etc., there is no need to say much, what they care about is Bergkamp's reputation.

This is a world-class footballer. Even though he is old. But as long as he's Bergkamp, it's attractive enough.

But at the same time, there are also many media criticism of the failure of this recruitment - although Bergkamp is a free transfer, he will definitely get a high salary at Manchester City Club, as long as he gets a high salary, it is equivalent to failure, because Bergkamp is already 37 years old, it is difficult to contribute much to the team, even if he comes to Manchester City, how many times can he play in the game?

There are only the number of appearances of a single number. but got an annual salary of more than one million, which is a great loss.

……

Wan Sheng didn't have time to pay attention to the comments in the media.

In fact. Wan Sheng flew back to Manchester, not just for Bergkamp, as long as he was convinced, everything would be easy, and he didn't need to come forward to negotiate a contract, the purpose of his return was for other players, Bee Nix called and said that several players' agents responded to Manchester City and expressed interest in Manchester City.

Two of them are called Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mesut Ozil.

Mesut Ozil is still a young player, he is only 18 years old this year, and last year he was spotted by Schalke 04 Football Club and signed for Schalke 04 Youth Team.

Last season, Mesut Ozil also played 11 times for Schalke 04, which was not too outstanding, but the fact that an 18-year-old German young player can play 11 times in the Bundesliga is in itself a sign that he is extraordinary.

However, Ozil has not really shown his talents, and Schalke 04 only treats him as a young player who can be cultivated, so when he heard the call of Manchester City Club, he had no reason to refuse, so he directly asked his agent to contact Manchester City Club to see what the other party meant, whether he saw his potential and really wanted to join, or did he just buy himself to supplement the Manchester City youth team?

If it was the latter, he would certainly not consider it, as he also had occasional appearances at Schalke 04.

But if it was the former, he simply couldn't refuse.

Wan Sheng flew back to Manchester, mainly to convince Mesut Ozil to join Manchester City.

He is the head coach of the team, and he only shows sincerity in person, otherwise the other party will think that Manchester City just wants to supplement the youth team, or after coming to the team, he can only be a fringe player, then he will definitely not want to, after all, he is also a 'young player' who focuses on cultivating at Schalke 04.

On the contrary, Bastian Schweinsteiger does not have to worry about Wansheng, and now Schweinsteiger is already a famous star of Bayern, although he has not yet been the absolute main position in Bayern, but he is already very famous in Germany, and he is also participating in the World Cup held in China with the German team.

Such a player is no longer something that can be impressed by sincerity.

However, since Schweinsteiger's agent has responded, it means that Schweinsteiger himself is interested in Manchester City, although he is now playing for Bayern Munich, he is not in the main position, maybe he also wants to change the league environment and try a different team.

Wan Sheng is optimistic about Ozil, but at the same time he hopes more for Schweinsteiger, after all, Ozil is still a young player, even if he comes to the club, it is impossible to directly have the main position, Schweinsteiger is different, he will almost certainly occupy a main position, and will also become the pillar of the team.

So Wansheng called Schweinsteiger's agent to express his sincerity, and then indirectly found Schweinsteiger himself and talked about some promises.

"You'll have a regular position and a bigger contract."

This is the most important sincerity.

But what impressed Schweinsteiger was another quote from Wansheng, "You'll be partnered with Morris, and I think the best position for you is in the middle." ”

This sentence spoke to Schweinsteiger's heart.

At Bayern Munich, what he was not satisfied with was his position, he always felt that he was suitable for the middle, but at Bayern he could only play as a full-back, in this position, he did not perform well, as a result, last season, his performance became more and more mediocre, and even in the German national team, the performance is much better than in the club.

"I'll think about it."

Schweinsteiger concluded.

Weinsteiger didn't have much hope for its implementation, but just had a little bit of a mind to leave, so try to get in touch with Manchester City and at the same time create some pressure on Bayern Munich - if you don't reuse me, I'll leave.

But he didn't expect that the opposing coach could say that he was excited - the main position, a big contract and a more suitable position, is it better to go to Manchester City than to stay at Bayern, it is said that the young Chinese coach on the other end of the phone is very good at cultivating young players!

Wansheng's answer to Schweinsteiger is not surprising, it is strange that a player who has made a name for himself at such a young age and also plays for Bayern Munich can be so easily persuaded to choose to join Manchester City.

In contrast, Ozil was much more convincing.

For a Schalke 04 youngster, the temptation to join Manchester City, play under a coach who is good at developing young players, and play in the Champions League next season is too great.

What's more, Manchester City FC will offer a bigger contract, and going there is more guaranteed.

So in a few words of promise, the balance in Ozil's heart tipped in.

Then Manchester City FC began to negotiate with Schalke 04 Club, Schalke 04 Club will definitely not sell their talent easily, although they feel that this genius will not grow into a future world superstar, but genius is always a genius, and they will definitely not be willing to leave like this.

So they opened their mouths and asked for a high price of 5 million euros.

The two sides began negotiations on the transfer fee.

At this time, Wansheng has put his mind at ease, and the transfer has been carried out to this point, which is basically equivalent to being finalized, even if it cannot be agreed in the end, Ozil's heart is definitely not in Schalke 04, so Schalke 04 will finally agree, not to mention, the dispute between the two sides is only a million euros, which is really nothing for the current Manchester City.

Then Wan Sheng flew back to Germany to continue his sweet vacation, and as for the transfer side, it was enough for him to command remotely in Germany. (To be continued.) )
