Chapter 312

The town of rhinfelden, 15 km east of Basel, Switzerland.

Winter snow falls, and the quiet town is exquisite and beautiful. Situ Yunbing sits near the window in an ordinary cafe.

Drinking the steaming coffee with soft taste, situ Yunbing looked at the scene of snowflakes outside the window and unexpectedly felt infinite poetry. From him, he could see the river in the distance, which is the upper reaches of the Rhine River. Crossing the Rhine River is Germany.

The calm river seemed to present an illusory scene, and the heroic figure of Dortmund youth army emerged one after another.

Situ Yunbing raised a meaningful smile at the corners of his mouth. I don't know if it contains bitterness.

Looking back at this time last year, he had a very moist life. He qualified in the Champions League group stage, had a huge leading advantage in the league, and the completion of the game challenges he faced was close to 90%!

From Monaco to Hamburg, he has adapted to this gap, but with the half-way end of the season, the game challenge brings him more and more pressure!

To win the league title, there is always only one opponent. Just stare at the top of the table.

If it's someone else, it's better than the leader!

If you are yourself, you should surpass yourself!

Klopp's foundation in Dortmund in two years must be stronger than his foundation in Hamburg!

The competitiveness of the Bundesliga is obviously stronger than that of the French Bundesliga. In the French Bundesliga, even if Monaco is not perfect, situ Yunbing can make the subtraction to the extreme, and no one can beat him in the league.

But not in the Bundesliga. There are too many powerful teams in the Bundesliga. The scoreboard will never tell you what the real strength of a Bundesliga team is.

Just like Wolfsburg, Schalke 04, Werder Bremen, Stuttgart and other teams that ranked downstream of the championship at the end of the first half of the league, they may only have various problems in the first half of the season. Once they rebound strongly, even Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Hamburg may face hard bones.

As time went by, situ Yunbing looked at the mottled shadows in front of him vaguely on the river. He sometimes wondered whether there were gods in the sky. They were watching situ Yunbing carry out this unprecedented game challenge.

Seeing situ Yunbing tangled, trapped and frustrated, will he get the satisfaction of evil taste.

Or whether it will be gratifying to see him grow, progress and become stronger.

Two years ago, he would not have been so patient with Hamburg, nor would he be as calm as an eminent monk in the eyes of the outside world.

After two and a half years of coaching, looking back on the past, he has indeed changed a lot, more patient, more used to thinking calmly and more calm.

Just at this time, someone walked into the cafe and brought situ Yunbing back to reality from his infinite reverie. Situ Yunbing couldn't help standing up and looked softly at the player walking towards him in casual clothes.

In view of situ Yunbing's high standard of winter recruitment, few players in European football can enter his eyes, and basically the vast majority are unlikely to change their doors this winter.

But in December, a player was put on his watch list.

Because most clubs in European football are interested in him and have taken out real money!

Schalke 04 midfielder core, 22-year-old Croatia international Ivan lakitic!

Although lakitic played for Croatia, he was born in Switzerland and grew up here. Therefore, during this holiday, situ Yunbing came to lakitic's hometown, Rhine Felden town.

The staff in the cafe obviously adored and loved lakiti. When lakiti shook hands with situ Yunbing and sat down, the waiter immediately came up and asked him what he needed. Lakiti asked for a glass of juice, and then the waiter left quickly with a smile without bothering him.

It's hard to imagine that a star of lakitic's level will flow into the market, and it's in the transfer winter window!

However, the German media have exposed the reason why lakitic will leave the team two weeks ago.

First of all, his contract with Schalke 04 will expire in half a year, and he originally planned to renew his contract in the summer of 10 years. However, because Schalke 04 introduced Raul and gave Raul a top salary in the contract, lakiti ć changed the treatment conditions originally negotiated with Schalke 04. Schalke 04 expanded its army and was unable to meet lakiti ć financially, Magath is also a stubborn donkey, so the renewal of his contract ran aground.

When Schalke 04 renewed his contract with lakitic at the beginning of the new season, lakitic himself had some resistance. Moreover, competitive factors affected him to make the final decision to leave the team!

Magath's team has too many personnel, but the runner up of last season can't have a very stable lineup in the new season, including lakitic, which has become very tangled. Perhaps it is because lakitic refuses to renew his contract, even his main position can't be guaranteed!

Moreover, Magath has become immortal in the league this season, whether in platoon arrangement or on-the-spot scheduling. He is completely divorced from the thinking of normal people. He sold Westman in the summer, but he can let lakitic play a guest right back in the game!

For a player of lakitic's level, even if he is only 22 years old, the coach must give absolute respect at the professional level. It is not like ordinary players who are casually placed in any position they are not good at and don't like!

Originally, the outside world had high expectations for Schalke's 04 new season. On the basis of last season, it is the League champion!

But now look at Schalke 04, that is, just left the relegation zone, competing for the championship? Absolutely no play, and there must be no Champions League to play next season!

In this context, how can lakitic stay in Schalke 04, even if Schalke 04 reaches the last 16 of the Champions League!

Schalke 04 doesn't want to let lakitic transfer freely next summer, so he will sell lakitic everywhere this winter.

The price is very low, no more than 2.5 million euros, which is far lower than the value of lakitic. Schalke 04 can't help it. They must at least get back some money, otherwise they will really have nothing in half a year, both human and financial.

Without too much greeting, situ Yunbing said straight to lakitic: "I know that teams including Valencia, Villarreal, Sevilla, Inter Milan, Juventus, Manchester City, Everton and Benfica are inviting you. It can be said that basically all teams in Europe want you except some giants, It's just that too many teams know they can't attract you, so they can only stop and wait.

I have no intention of judging other clubs. I just want to tell you that Hamburg wants you.

It's not a supplement to the team or an increase in the thickness of the team. You're not an indispensable role. You'll play an important role in my plan. It can be said that Hamburg is in urgent need of a player with your technical style and strength!

My Hamburg is in the top row in the Bundesliga. I can tell you frankly that the Bundesliga champion born in May next year is either Hamburg or Dortmund!

At present, Hamburg's probability of winning the championship is lower than Dortmund's, about 46. We have a 40% probability and Dortmund has a 60% probability.

The reason for this phenomenon is that Hamburg needs more time to grow, and growth always comes at a price. Those games we can't win in the first half of the season are the price, but in the process of improving the overall strength of the team, we will pay less in the second half of the season, but the intensity of the league in the second half of the season will also exceed that in the first half of the season, Because most teams pursue more realistic goals, more motivation and stronger desire to score in the second half.

We need you to improve the team's current shortcomings!

I think you have the potential to become a world-class midfielder, and your style is very consistent with my tactical ideal. When we sit here, I can't help imagining how dazzling it will be when you form an attack group in Hamburg with de Brauner, Royce and glitzman.

We may not be the club that gives you the best contract, but I think we are the club you should choose to grow and achieve.

The short-term goal is only the league championship, and the long-term goal must be the peak battlefield in Europe. I never think that the team I coach should become a springboard for players. Even if I respect the personal choice of players, I will expect my players to achieve unprecedented success under my coaching! "

Lakitic listened carefully.

In fact, he will feel honored more or less.

As a famous young coach in European football, situ Yunbing impressed the outside world that in addition to being good at training young people, he is also good at attracting aid and knowing beads!

At present, there is no case of failure in the transfer he participated in, which itself shows the problem. No matter how famous the coach is, the top coach is no exception.

People seem to be waiting for situ Yunbing to break his divine operation in the transfer market after buying a parallel product.

Of course, many transfers were previously regarded as enigmatic operations, but later they also proved the shortsightedness of the outside world.

However, there are not many cases in which situ Yunbing really came to the door to persuade players with his heart, which shows that he saw that players have potential and are good seedlings, and the players he could persuade to join must be the players he attaches great importance to. Now the familiar story is that he persuaded Gareth bell to go to Monaco, Then Gareth bell went to Monaco to start a brilliant chapter in his career.

Today, lakitic sat opposite situ Yunbing. At least he was highly recognized by situ Yunbing!

Lakitic said frankly to situ Yunbing: "among many clubs interested in me, there is no Bundesliga team, because the club has not recommended me to the Bundesliga team. Schalke 04 doesn't want me to stay in the Bundesliga. I don't think they will agree with me to join Hamburg. It's a pity."

Situ Yunbing smiled. At least the other party didn't refuse hamburger.

"Schalke 04 pushed you to the market because he didn't want you to leave for free after half a year. This is the key point, not that they want to get rid of you.

They need some cash back from you!

I will let Hamburg show enough sincerity. In my eyes, good players are priceless. For me, the important thing is that you have the possibility to join Hamburg. If you are willing, Hamburg will take you to the people's Park at any cost, because you will improve the strength of the whole team, not just the limited improvement brought by your personal strength, If you enlarge the pattern, your joining will bring the championship to Hamburg! "

Lakitic looked surprised, then smiled at situ Yunbing and said: "I will express to Schalke 04 club my decision to join Hamburg, but I will not put pressure on the club publicly. If I can't complete the transfer in the end, I can refuse the invitation of other clubs and choose to join Hamburg in six months."

Situ Yunbing looked unbelievable, and lakitic's promise really moved him.

He couldn't help asking, "don't you think about other clubs anymore?"

Lakiti nodded: "don't think about it. I believe you are a manager who does what you say and is trustworthy. Otherwise, Monaco can't create miracles, Hamburg can't be reborn at an amazing speed, and many Monaco players still miss you after you leave.

Mr. situ, I like your coaching style. In my opinion, this is also your personal charm, especially the pressure and encouragement you give to young people when leading Hamburg. Your football is full of sunshine. I also hope to bathe in this light. I also believe that I can make a breakthrough under your guidance. "

Situ Yunbing couldn't help laughing proudly.

He did not fight against heaven and earth, nor did he run the army with an iron hand. He just took a more humane road. Some people don't like him, some people think he has many shortcomings, but others will appreciate him and trust him.
