Super Marshal

Back in Munich, Sebena has already started to get busy.

In two days, the team will start training for the new season, and the players will also start to gather.

Gao Han drove his Audi Q7 directly into the internal parking lot and went to the administrative office. The core executives of Bayern Munich who had known his schedule for a long time were already sitting in the conference room waiting for him.

As soon as we entered the door, everyone greeted each other politely and exchanged polite greetings.

Last season's triple crown gave everyone full confidence in the team's journey in the new season, and they all hope that the team can continue to achieve satisfactory results under the leadership of Gao Han.

It would be best to win the treble, especially the Champions League, like we did with Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan.

This will not only allow Bayern Munich to return to the ranks of European giants, but also inject vitality into the sluggish Bundesliga. For head coach Gao Han, it will also be another career peak.

In the history of the Champions League, no one has been able to lead three different teams to win the Champions League.

"OK, everyone is here, let's have a meeting."

With a greeting from Chairman Rummenigge, everyone began the first high-level meeting of the new season.

Hoeness was the first to speak, summarizing the team's results and operating conditions last season.

Needless to say, in terms of results, three heavy championships are a brilliance that Bayern Munich has not had in recent years. Fans are extremely satisfied, and media reporters are also praising Bayern Munich.

It is worth mentioning that in last year's media selection, Bayern Munich lost to Werder Bremen and lost the most popular club award among German fans. However, after the end of last season, the Bundesliga giants had an overwhelming advantage Won this award and became the most popular team among German fans.

In his speech, Hoeness expressed his gratitude to head coach Gao Han on behalf of the club and hoped that he could lead the team to make persistent efforts.

In the second half of his speech, Hoeness also mentioned the team's goals for the new season and the current financial situation.

Unlike other wealthy teams in European leagues, Bayern Munich attaches great importance to financial health. It burned a lot of money last season, but it was all accumulated in the past few years, coupled with the salary increase brought by signings. It has put a lot of pressure on the club's finances, so Bayern Munich really can't spare much money to operate transfers this summer.

But even so, Hoeness still gave 30 million euros, still the team with the highest transfer budget in the Bundesliga.

After introducing the situation of Bayern Munich, Hoeness also mentioned the transfer situation of the Bundesliga in the new season.

"There are two teams we have to pay close attention to, Wolfsburg and Hamburg."

Hoeness said with a serious face.

“As early as last summer, Wolfsburg invested a lot of money in the transfer market. Although the team’s performance at the beginning was not satisfactory, it performed well in the second half and finally won the league title. Fifth, this is Wolfsburg's best ever league position."

“So, this summer, Wolfsburg continues to increase their investment. It is said that their transfer budget once again exceeds 50 million euros. According to my speculation, this team is likely to become our number one rival in the new season. "

Gao Han thought about it in his mind. Wolfsburg has invested so much for two consecutive seasons. Is there any financial problem?

You know, the reason why Bayern Munich was able to invest over 100 million last season was mainly due to the accumulation in the past few years. Moreover, the Bundesliga giant is the most capable team in Europe. It is already very risky to dare to do so.

But why Wolfsburg?

Probably inseparable from the Volkswagen behind Wolfsburg.

"Another team we should be wary of is Hamburg."

"We all know that Hamburg has always been known as the King of the North, keeping pace with our King of the South, so the game between us is also called the North-South Derby. However, Hamburg has been in a bad situation in recent years, and its results have been ups and downs. Last year it won They finished fourth in the league and missed the Champions League, so they increased their investment this summer."

"However, Van der Vaart, the main force of Hamburg, is now involved with Real Madrid, and the young defender Kompany does not have a good relationship with the club. Therefore, the situation of this team is still relatively unstable."

"There is another team, the newly promoted Hoffenheim must also pay attention. They have introduced midfielder Gustavo from Corinthians of Brazil, Baker from Stuttgart, and Wellington from Internacional. , the overall strength has improved a lot, which deserves our caution."

Since the end of last season, when Hoffenheim qualified for the Bundesliga, this team from a small village has been the focus of German fans and media. However, their signings have been very low-key and have not been disclosed to the outside world. specific information.

But everyone knows that this team has never been content with being ordinary.

From Hoeness's introduction, Gao Han learned that the entire Bundesliga investment this summer was not large. Compared with last year, it was almost cut in half. This also has a lot to do with Bayern Munich's tightening of money.

Everyone knows that the professional league is pyramid-shaped.

Taking the Bundesliga as an example, Bayern Munich is the team standing at the top of the pyramid, and then goes down layer by layer.

In the transfer market, the higher you go to the top of the pyramid, the stronger your purchasing power becomes. But the problem is that if the top teams tighten their money, then other teams below will not be able to spend money at all.

The reason is very simple, only when you go out can you make progress.

But this also has a lot to do with the failure of the Bundesliga team's large-scale signings last year.

For example, Werder Bremen, after selling Klose, used the money to buy Klose to introduce the most expensive player in the club's history, Alberto. As a result, this player was a long-term illness and joined the team. He had two fights with his teammates in half a year. By the winter break, Werder Bremen could no longer bear it and kicked him out.

The same situation exists with Stuttgart. They spent the highest price in history to buy Marica, but the result was also a parallel import.

It is precisely because of the previous cases of failure that Bundesliga teams are more cautious this summer.

After Bayern Munich won the Triple Crown last season, Gao Han stated when planning with the club that the team would not make any big signings and would only supplement local details.

Before he finished watching the European Cup and returned to China for vacation, he once again stated to the management that both Van Bommel and Podolski were available for sale, but he only gave a list of three people to sign.

Therefore, Hoeness immediately focused on the club's transfer operations.

"After this period of negotiations, we have reached an agreement with AC Milan. Van Bommel will transfer to AC Milan for a price of 10 million euros. This transaction has been unanimously recognized by the management and coaching staff."

When everyone heard this, they all turned and looked at Gao Han.

Gao Han always sat upright in his seat and nodded slightly, indicating that he had indeed received his approval.

"In addition, I regret to tell you that Podolski is very determined to leave the team. He cannot accept his arrangement as a substitute in the club, and when we are unable to persuade him to change his mind, we have to contact other football clubs. In the end, Arsenal got our players for £20 million."

No one had much objection to this transfer.

Podolski was not reused in the team. This was not caused by Gao Han's appointment. On the contrary, he was no longer reused during the coaching periods of Magath and Hitzfeld.

But with his outstanding performance in the European Cup, the player was not satisfied with his substitute role and publicly announced that he was leaving the team. From the club's perspective, the best way was to take advantage of the high price.

From the two sales, Bayern Munich made a profit of about 35 million euros.

All the core managers present are aware of the current situation of the team. After selling Van Bommel and Podolski, they will definitely need to strengthen their recruitment. Therefore, there must be more to what Hoeness said.

Sure enough, Hoeness quickly introduced the team's signings.

"Just two days ago, we just reached an agreement with the Preskov team of the Polish Second Division. For a price of half a million euros, we introduced the top scorer of the Polish Second Division last season, the 20-year-old Robert Lewandowski.”

"This player was unanimously recognized by our scouts, and the head coach Mr. Gao Han also strongly recommended it. The club finally successfully introduced this player among many competitors in Poland through Jorge Mendes's relationships and channels. .”

"We have reason to believe that Lewandowski's arrival can fill the vacancy left by Podolski's departure."

Everyone in the conference room couldn't help but start talking when they heard this.

A Golden Boot winner of the Polish second division, few people even remember the name of the team he plays for. Can such an unknown person replace Podolski?

But while everyone was talking about it, Gao Han just said softly, "Thank you very much for the management's trust. I firmly believe that he will become an important member of our front line."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood that this player was hand-picked by Gao Han.

With Gao Han's past reputation, no one would doubt his judgment.

However, although everyone no longer doubted it, they were more curious. What ability did Lewandowski have that could make Gao Han value him so much? Can he really replace Podolski?

"In addition to Lewandowski, we also spent half a million euros to introduce a 19-year-old youngster from the Red and White Allen team near Dortmund, Marco Reus, who previously played with We performed well in the German Cup and Mr. Gao Han believes he will be an important member of the team."

When everyone heard this, they turned to look at Gao Han, who nodded in affirmation again.

To this day, he is still very impressed by that skinny boy.

"As for the midfielder, we have also reached a consensus with Stuttgart. Sami Khedira will transfer to our Bayern Munich for four million euros. The player has also reached an agreement with us on personal treatment, which is also This will be our last signing of the summer."

"However, Khedira encountered some troubles during the physical examination when he joined. He was seriously injured three years ago and almost retired because of it. Last summer, he also entered the national team list because of his outstanding performance in Stuttgart, but his right foot He is absent due to injury, so our team doctor Mr. Wolfat will conduct a more detailed test on him, and a detailed report will be given in the next two days."

"But in any case, it will not affect Khedira joining our team."

Having sold two players and introduced three young players, there is no doubt that Gao Han's rejuvenation continues.

After last season, no one will doubt Gao Han's coaching ability and strategies.

Now, they are looking forward to Bayern Munich's journey in the new season and whether these new players can bring satisfactory performance.

After Hoeness finished speaking, Rummenigge looked at the crowd and then said: "Let's move on to the last topic, about Real Madrid's offer of 50 million euros to bring in Aguero. , let’s all discuss it.”

The amount of this transfer is astonishing, and it is no longer something Rummenigge or Hoeness can decide.

Therefore, the statement made at this core manager meeting will determine whether Aguero leaves or stays.
