'I was responsible for the loss, in the second half there was a tactical problem but I don't regret replacing Milo because that's what he deserved, he's done so much for the team and we didn't do well enough to lose, congratulations to Cologne for qualifying, they deserved to win.'

Schaff watched the interview on TV, which was done the day before yesterday and was broadcast on various sports channels in turn.

The Bundesliga champion's upset exit from the German Cup became a big joke, and many fans outside of Bremen were happy to see the joke.

Schaaf turned off the TV, the defeat a few days ago had ruined the good mood of the Bremen players, but it wasn't all bad, and the only gain for Schaaf was that he found Tang Zhenglong.

Schaff wants to take Podolsky away, of course, it is impossible, but Tang Zhenglong, Schaff thinks that if the price exceeds 2 million euros, then Cologne will still be tempted.

Schaff looked at his watch, he was waiting for a call, a call back from Cologne.

*****

Cologne FC manager Achim has been in a happy mess lately, when suddenly many Bundesliga teams sent offers, all of which were asking for Tang Zhenglong.

Among them were teams such as Wolfsburg, Freiburg, Hannover, and the most unexpected was the offer from Bremen.

Bremen is a team that participates in the Champions League, and joining Bremen means that Tang Zhenglong may participate in the Champions League in the second half of the season, and for young people, this temptation is still very great.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Stevens walked into the office.

"Achim, what are you looking for me? Talk to me about Christmas bonuses? ”

"Haha."

Achim motioned for Stevens to sit down.

"Don't worry, the team's results are so good, bonuses are indispensable, but I didn't come to you today to talk about this, but about Tang Zhenglong."

"What's wrong with Don?"

"We should have given Don a better contract and kept him."

Stevens nodded, "That's what I want to tell you, I didn't expect you to be with me." ”

"I authorize you to talk, don't let him open his mouth."

"What's the bottom line for salary?"

"Don't pay more than 300,000 euros a year."

Stevens nodded, for a young man like Tang Zhenglong, this is already a lot, and there is also a goal bonus.

"Okay, I'll talk to Tang Zhenglong."

"Don't let me down, many clubs are already staring at Tang Zhenglong now."

Stevens smiled, this doesn't need to be said by Achim, he also knows, a lot of media are reporting.

*****

"What? Why don't I find a brokerage? ”

The reporter asked Tang Zhenglong.

Tang Zhenglong thought for a while, "Because the brokerage company takes a lot of money, and I heard that some brokerage companies also share portrait rights." ”

Tang Zhenglong made a gesture to count the money, "I think it's more economical to do this now." ”

Everybody sweats.

That's true.

However, the reporters also know Tang Zhenglong's character, this is a person who has something to say, and everyone likes Tang Zhenglong because of his straightforwardness.

"Don, I heard that Bremen has contacted you privately, you will wear a green shirt in the second half of the season, and you may also play in the Champions League."

Tang Zhenglong smiled: "This is definitely fake news. ”

"Why?"

"Because if I leave Cologne, then I have to go to Bayern, Real Madrid, Juventus and other teams, and I can't go to Bremen, because in my opinion, there is not much difference between Bremen and Cologne."

Be dumbfounded.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Cologne is the same as Bremen??

It's very different, okay.

One is in the Champions League and the other is in the Bundesliga.

Tang Zhenglong smiled: "Don't be surprised, what I said about the team background or something, Bremen and Cologne are similar, so I won't consider Bremen." ”

In addition to Bremen, Tang Zhenglong also commented on other Bundesliga clubs, and as a direct consequence, most clubs withdrew their offers for Tang Zhenglong, and Cologne manager Achim was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Don, I really appreciate your big mouth."

*****

Emma drove her own Volkswagen and came to the club with Tang Zhenglong, and today she is here to negotiate a new contract.

"Why don't you drive a better car?" Tang Zhenglong said with a smile.

"You give me money."

"What an attitude."

"By the way, let's say okay, I'm going to take a 5% commission."

Tang Zhenglong nodded, "Does your uncle agree?" ”

Emma laughed, "You were meant to train me." ”

In Europe, lawyers have a wide range of services, and basically you can find a lawyer for money-related matters, which also involves tax issues.

In Europe, football players are an absolute high-income group and the focus of the tax department, and many players have problems with this issue, which will end up being very troublesome.

"By the way, I don't want to get involved in any tax issues, I've heard that Germany is quite strict in this regard."

"Don't worry, the tax department won't be eyeing you for your little income, unless you go to Bayern in the future and get an annual salary of several million."

When he arrived at the club, Tang Zhenglong said: "Be strong when you negotiate, I don't have to worry about leaving home now, if they don't agree to my conditions, then I will leave." ”

Emma rolled her eyes, "You've offended the Bundesliga club." ”

Tang Zhenglong scratched his head, "No, I didn't offend Bayern and Schalke." ”

"Hehe, people don't want you."

Come to Stevens' office.

The two sides began to negotiate, and Stevens knew Tang Zhenglong and liked to be straightforward, so he didn't go around in circles.

"Don, the terms of the original contract regarding the goal bonus remain the same, and the club offers you a contract with an annual salary of 280,000 euros for four years."

Emma smiled.

"Mr. Stevens, you should know that my client, Mr. Tang Zhenglong, is very hot in the transfer market right now, and a lot of teams want him."

"If Tang Zhenglong transfers, then he can easily get a better contract."

Stevens nodded, "I don't deny it, but you should know that intent and actually signing the contract are two different things. ”

"There are a lot of teams that have a good impression of Don, but how many are really willing to give him a contract?"

Stevens spread his hands.

"Of course, I'm willing to listen to your offer."

Emma said: "360,000 euros a year, plus a liquidated damages clause, 11 million euros to buy out the contract. ”

Stevens smiled, "Don, I understand your personality and don't like to go around, then I can tell you that the bottom line given to me by the club manager is 300,000 euros." ”

Emma looked at Tang Zhenglong, and then said to Stevens: "Then let your boss raise the bottom line, now Tang Zhenglong can negotiate terms with the club, he has scored a lot of goals for the team, it's not a matter of money, it's a matter of respect." ”

Stevens didn't expect Tang Zhenglong's attitude to be so resolute.
