Chapter 148: Where Did Ringer Go?
Ito Sushi Restaurant, Ringer is here again.
Sitting across from him was Hasegawa, who had only seen him for half a year, but it seemed like it had been many years.
Now Ringer is already a well-known star in Europe, and Hasegawa is just an ordinary star playing in the J-League, and his identity has opened up a lot.
"Since you're gone, the gas team is getting worse and worse~~~"
While the two were drinking tea, Hasegawa was talking slowly, and Ringer knew the situation of Tokyo FC in the past six months.
After Ringer's departure, Tokyo FC has been in a predicament in both the AFC Champions League and the J-League this season, and the league has been in the middle of the table, not to mention competing for the championship, and even competing for the AFC Champions League qualification is difficult.
In the AFC Champions League, Tokyo FC is also struggling, and in the last round of the group stage, they barely defeated the Chinese Super League team Jiangsu Shuntian at home, only to barely qualify for the second place in the group, but in the round of 16, they encountered the same opponent as last season, Guangzhou Evergrande.
This year's AFC Champions League round of 16 has been changed to a two-legged format for the first time, and it was played before June.
Tokyo FC first held a 0:0 game at home, and Bobovic's guy claimed to go to the away side to draw 1:1 with Evergrande like last year, so that he could rely on away goals to eliminate Evergrande to advance.
It's a pity that this year's Evergrande is not last year's Evergrande, but this year's Tokyo FC is much weaker than last year, Tokyo FC lost a 0:5 away from home, and was slaughtered by Evergrande for revenge.
This is the current situation of FC Tokyo, the situation is not good, and it is said that Bobovic is already planning to put his energy into the Emperor's Cup, and intends to bet on the Cup to guarantee the results.
After Hasegawa left, Ringer waited here again for Bobovic, who had long since lost the vigor of last season, and his Mediterranean hairstyle also looked messy, not as shiny as last year.
"Lin, I knew that you could succeed, and you would definitely be a big star in the future." Bobovich still speaks so loudly, but fortunately there is no one in the store now.
"I know, that guy wants to fire me, but I can say for sure, they fired me and couldn't find a better coach ~~~"
Speaking of which, it comes back to the issue of the team.
Kenji Akune, the president of the team who achieved success last season, chose to retire after success, and the new president does not seem to like Bobovic's coaching style, or his big-mouth style, and he is likely to be fired if the big four of Tokyo FC are empty this season.
"I'm not worried about where to go, I was contacted by several teams in the winter, and even from China, but I just didn't want to leave the team I built by myself~~~"
Speaking of this, Bobovic also had to sigh and said: "Who knew that the team's results would decline so quickly, after you left, our offensive ability really dropped a lot~~~"

After a few days in Tokyo, I went to visit my young lady's house, and then Ringer returned home.
Ringer plans to go home for a few more days, as transfer talks in Europe are almost over, and there are still many procedures to go for the new team, but he is afraid that he will be back in Europe soon.
This summer, there are a lot of popular strikers in the market, Neymar, Bale, Falcao, Cavani, Higuain and Ringer, these are the strikers who have been chased by more teams in the transfer market this summer.
But among these strikers, Falcao was taken by Monaco early, Neymar already belongs to Barcelona, Cavani has been eye-to-eye with Paris, Bale is definitely in Real Madrid's bag, and there are only two really left.
Ringer and Higuain, each with their own strengths.
Ringer has an age advantage, he is only 22 years old this year, and there is still a lot of room for growth, plus the bonus of the Chinese market, but the price is certainly not cheap at all. It could even be that Bayern has always wanted to keep Ringer for his own use, but Ringer's agent has made it clear to Bayern that he must leave without a main position.
Higuain is actually not very old, not yet 26 years old, and Higuain's advantage is that he has been in Europe for six years and has fully proved that he is capable of playing well in Europe.
Although Ringer has an amazing performance for half a season, it is unclear whether he will be the kind of person who will die of addiction.
Of course, the technical characteristics of the two are not the same, but it is undeniable that they are both strikers who are currently in the most interesting position in the transfer market.
There are currently four teams closely watching the two of them: Arsenal in the Premier League, Juventus and Napoli in Serie A, and Atletico Madrid in La Liga.
In general, Higuain is more popular, because there is less risk in buying him, he has already proven himself in Europe, and Real Madrid has long shown its determination to sell Higuain in order to scrape together money to buy Bale, so he will not be slaughtered in terms of price.
Although Ringer has a bonus to the Chinese market, it is always more risky, and Bayern has been trying to keep Ringer, so the transfer fee will definitely be slaughtered.
Previously, Chinese fans have been paying attention to Ringer, and they all know that Ringer's departure from Bayern is a high probability event, so the next concern is, where is Ringer going?
Many fans ran to Ringer's Weibo to give him advice, this one said this, that said that, and there were those who supported him.
But in general, there are the most supporters of going to Arsenal, followed by Juventus.
Ringer has already secretly decided that Atletico Madrid has the least support, because of the four clubs, Atletico Madrid is indeed the least famous. Arsenal and Juventus are both giants, and Napoli is also the place where Maradona, the king of the ball, proved himself, and many people still have Napoli plots.
According to the news from the European side, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid have already taken action and started to make offers to Bayern.
Juventus and Naples, who value Higuain more and regard Ringer as a second target.
In fact, according to the British media, there are also disagreements within Arsenal, Wenger prefers to buy Ringer, but the Gunners' management values Higuain more. Although there was a small disagreement between the two sides, there was still a tentative offer for Bayern.
However, due to the disagreement at the top, Arsenal's offer has a bottom line, that is, the price is too high and they are likely to switch to fight for Higuain.
Soon, news came back from Europe that Cavani's farce finally came to an end and went to Paris for 64 million euros, temporarily becoming the transfer king of the summer.
But this bid king is a bit watery, Neymar's price must be higher than him, but the announcement is only 57 million euros, and once Bale's transfer is reached, he will be thrown away in minutes.
Now Napoli had the money and really joined the rush to buy, and at the same time made an offer for Ringer and Higuain.

By the time the time of July, Ringer was back in China.
"Ringer, what are you doing in Japan? Is it to make money? As soon as he got off the plane, Ringer was a little confused by the reporter's question.
"I signed a contract with Uniqlo, and I had to go over and fulfill the contract and shoot two commercials." Ringer still told the truth, and it wasn't a big deal in itself.
"Some domestic media say that you only know how to make money, and the reason why you are reluctant to join the national team is that you are afraid that the national team competition will affect your ability to make money in European clubs, do you have anything to say about this?"
Ringer is really a little dumbfounded now, and he still has such a thoughtful statement?
"This is nonsense at all, and I will ask the agent to send a lawyer's letter to those rumor-mongering media."
Ringer felt that he should never say more here at this time, otherwise he would probably say too much and be caught by someone, so he should go back and have a good discussion with Krot.
"Ringer, answer again~~~"
Ringer didn't pay any attention to them, and quickly got into the car and left.
"Where's James, Thomas, where is he?" Ringer asked the driver.
"He's in the hotel right now."
James Wilson, who drove the car, was a Yankee, and Crot was recovered, and he could work part-time as Ringer's bodyguard and driver.
After Ringer's Champions League stunner, big agents such as Mendes and Raiola came to the door to try to get Ringer to switch to them. To be honest, Ringer was also a little cautious at that time, because those predators had a lot of resources in their hands, and there were indeed many benefits to switching to the past.
When Krot got the news, he had a long talk with Ringer, and in the end, Ringer stayed in Krot's company.
In order to keep Ringer, Krot not only resigned the brokerage contract and made a small concession on the share, but also promised to immediately form a dedicated brokerage team to serve him.
This Yankee, James Wilson, was hired by Crot, and it is said that he is a fitness instructor, and his arms are indeed bulging muscles.
James Wilson was available to act as a chauffeur and bodyguard when he attended the event, and today he drove to pick up Ringer.
"Thomas, what's going on? Why is there such news? Ringer asked Krott as soon as he arrived at the hotel.
"I didn't know that there was news like this all of a sudden in the last two days." Krot also felt that this was very sudden.
"Okay, so how do we deal with it?"
"That's it, Lin, I have an idea, do you remember what happened to the Qataris at the beginning~~~"
After the national football team lost to Thailand, the fans were filled with righteous indignation, trying to storm the national football locker room, besieging the bus, shouting for the dissolution of the football association, the dissolution of the national football team, etc., in short, everyone was angry.
Fortunately, there is no chairman of the Football Association at this time, otherwise the chairman's entire family of eighteen generations may not be able to live.
A few days later, the Football Association's response was to sack Spanish coach Camacho and dump the pot on the other side.
Camacho didn't say much, he can carry this pot, but he has to bring me the money.
When the Football Association hired Camacho, he was a world-famous coach, and the Football Association naturally made a lot of concessions, and the contract was clearly written, and he had to pay half of his salary for the remaining years if he was dismissed halfway.
According to the contract calculation, the Football Association will pay Camacho nearly 7 million euros in termination money, and the RMB is more than 50 million.
This incident was quickly reported by the Football Newspaper, a thorn in the side of the Football Association, so many people rushed to scold the Football Association for being pigs, and now they have to give away a large amount of money for transportation and transportation.
The results of the Football Association in the past two years have been too poor, the income is limited, and it seems that they don't want to give this money very much, and they have to rely on the account.
But you wrote it clearly in black and white, and now you want to pay the bill? Camacho then clamored to go to FIFA to sue the Chinese Football Association.
In short, this is a period of time that is all kinds of farce, and the limelight of Ringer's return with the Triple Crown some time ago has been completely stolen.
But I don't know how to pass it, and slowly there is Ringer's thing again, and some media claim that Ringer's capable star does not join the Chinese team, which is the main reason for the loss. Ringer did not join the national team, he just cared about making money, and he was afraid that the national team competition would delay him to make money, as evidenced by Ringer's return to China some time ago to make a lot of money.
This is really a statement that many people believe, because the angry fans are about to lose their minds.
Ringer also felt wronged, I deliberately hid away, why did it still pull me?
Ringer's black-hearted German agent reacted quickly and wanted to sue the rumor-mongering media, while also producing a so-called piece of evidence.
That is the Qatar Football Association's sky-high list for naturalizing Ringer, just by joining Qatari nationality, you can get a naturalization fee of 30 million euros, and a series of other high-priced bonuses.
This incident has caused another wave of attention to Ringer, and the Qatari side has responded, claiming that the condition is still valid now, as long as Ringer can agree.
Not only has this incident attracted a lot of attention in China, but also a lot of media in Europe has reposted it.
"If it was to make money, Lin would have gone to Qatar a long time ago." That's Crot's words, but it's kind of a revelation of the matter.
