PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

As the general manager of Bayer Leverkusen, Renel Calmund, known as the "fat manager", has been so troubled lately that he is not in the mood to accompany his beloved girlfriend Sylvia to the beach to enjoy the summer sun and the smell of the sea, let alone to lose his weight of 135 kilograms.

There are two main reasons why Kalmond has been so busy this summer. First, because Bayern Munich, which was empty last season, suddenly made a move after the transfer door opened, and forcibly poached the two pillars of Leverkusen's midfield at an ultra-low price of 8 million US dollars - Brazilian Ze Roberto and German rising star Torsten Frijns!

Hoeness's poaching move, the director zhì "Pharmaceutical" lost two absolute main and attacking engines, forcing Carlmond to spend time in the transfer market to find qualified substitutes for both, in order to make up for the negative impact of the departures of Ze Roberto and Frijns on Leverkusen, so that the team can build on last season's Sanya King, win a heavyweight championship trophy in the new season, and complete the transformation from a domestic powerhouse to a top team.

No matter how impressive Bayer Leverkusen have been on all fronts in recent seasons, it's always been an indisputable fact that the lack of heavyweight trophies in the pharma's honor room has always been an indisputable fact. It is for this reason that Bayer Leverkusen has never been able to take off the hat of a pseudo-strong team and join the ranks of the big clubs.

This is like the Chelsea team in Zhuang Mingge's previous life, don't look at the Blues won the Premier League twice under the command of Jose Mourinho, and they also fought with Barcelona and other giants in the Champions Cup, but it was not until Di Matteo led Chelsea to win the Big Ears Cup that the Blues were accepted by people and officially became a member of the top giants.

The same is true of Manchester City after the Valencia and Abu Dhabi consortiums at the turn of the century, although they have also won a lot of honors, but they can only be regarded as a strong team or pseudo-strong team with the ability to disrupt the situation without winning the Big Ears Cup, and there is still a long way to go to win the title of giants.

Therefore, Bayer Leverkusen's defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League final last season will undoubtedly have a huge impact on them. Because what the pharmaceutical company has lost is not only a Champions Cup championship and a lot of prize money, but also a key that can allow them to enter the top club in one fell swoop!

Moreover, Bayer Leverkusen can't even compare with the previously mentioned clubs such as Valencia and Manchester City in terms of honor, so it has been repeatedly poached by Bayern. After all, a club that hopes to win the championship every year but misses out on the championship trophy every year can only be regarded as a pseudo-strong team at best, and at best it is just a local powerhouse. Therefore, players with a bit of ambition and strength will not regard such a club as the ultimate goal of their careers, but will only use Bayer Leverkusen as a springboard to enter the big clubs.

As Bayer Leverkusen's manager, Karlmond will naturally not be satisfied with this situation, but he has always wanted to see Bayer Leverkusen on an equal footing with Bayern, rather than becoming Bayern's talent reserve base, and the kind of ...... that can be lowered by the other side at will

The second reason for Carmund's upset and irritability was the unexpected bankruptcy of the Bundesliga broadcaster Kirsch Group. When the Bundesliga declared bankruptcy in April this year, the Bundesliga suffered from an economic crisis of unprecedented proportions, thanks to the Kilsch Group's buy-out of the Bundesliga's television rights from 1999 to 2004.

It is important to know that the Kirsch Group had already owed the Bundesliga club a total of 800 million euros in broadcasting fees before declaring bankruptcy. And with the sudden bankruptcy of the Kirsch Group, this huge broadcast fee was wiped out overnight. As a result of this shockwave, many small and medium-sized German clubs are on the verge of collapse, because the Kilsch Group relies on the more than 300 million euros paid annually to the Bundesliga for television broadcasting. For many of the big clubs, TV fees also account for a large portion of their club's revenue, so they have not been spared from this wave, such as Bayer Leverkusen, which is backed by Bayer.

Faced with a significant drop in revenues and the departure of several key players (Ze Roberto and Frings leaving, leading scorer Kirsten preparing to retire), Karlmond had to rack his brains to use his modest transfer budget to strengthen the team. Therefore, when he learned that Zhuang Mingge, the president of Fiorentina, actually came to Leverkusen to discuss the transfer for their main central defender Lucio, Karmund was overjoyed, and said that finally a rich man had a crush on their player, and this time he said that he would take this opportunity to bite off a piece of meat on the other side, so as to get enough funds to upgrade the team's squad.

The reason why Carlmond thinks this way is simple, that is, because of the huge wealth of Zhuang Mingge and the vigorous development of the football market around the world by Fiorentina over the years, Purple Lily is one of the few clubs in the whole of European football that has not been affected by economic conditions, and its financial situation is naturally much better than most clubs. According to figures released by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Florence's revenue in the past year reached a staggering 200 million euros, which is still the number obtained when the purple lily was empty all year round.

Therefore, it is understandable that Calmond, who is shy in his pocket, wants to take this opportunity to slaughter the big fat sheep of Florence.

However, Carmund obviously forgot a very important point, that is, the other party is not a stupid and rich man like Berezovsky and Kragnoti, and whether he is willing to be treated as a fat sheep is really unknown.

"Welcome, Chairman Corleone." While welcoming Zhuang Mingge into his office, Carlmond said courteously, "I heard that you came to us this time to get our main central defender Lucio, I wonder if this news is correct?" ”

"That's right, Manager Carlmond, I'm here for this time." After the two sides sat down one after another, Zhuang Mingge omitted those unnecessary politeness and went directly to the topic. It's just that the second sentence that Zhuang Mingge said made Carlmond scorched, "Time is pressing, I won't go around in circles with you." As for your main central defender, that is, Lucio, we Fiorentina are willing to pay a one-time transfer fee of 8 million euros for him, I don't know what you think? ”
