Chapter 874

Standing in front of the south window of shalke 04 training center, you can overlook the aoqu shalke stadium 300 meters away.

Ivan lakitic was stunned by the spectacular stadium every time.

This feeling is as like as two peas of three coming from Basel, Switzerland, to 04, and standing here. From this point of view, we can enjoy this magnificent World Cup Stadium.

That year, he was 19 years old. He was a talented rookie who had just been on the stage for a year, and all the top teams in Europe were competing for attention.

In those years, Schalke 04 is also one of the most famous teams in the Bundesliga, and has always maintained a strong competitiveness. Lakitic chose this place as the starting point of his European top league, hoping to complete the promotion and transformation here. But now looking back, everything goes against his wishes.

The three years when he joined Schalke in 2004 were also turbulent for the team. His achievements fluctuated. Lakitic himself was also greatly affected. First, he was unable to adapt to Ruten's 433 formation and tactics. Later, Ruten left the team. After magate took over, the team's achievements improved greatly and rejoined the Bundesliga Championship.

But at this time, rajitic finds it difficult to adapt to magate's training and competition requirements, and it is difficult to gain magate's trust. He seems to prefer players like Kenia and Moritz, which makes rajitic's situation in the team very embarrassing.

This summer, rajitic was determined to prove himself with a better performance, but he was not lucky.

After the start of the league, he lost to Hamburg 1-2 away with the team. When he returned to Gelsenkirchen, he found that his home had been looted and all valuable things had been taken away, which made him feel at a loss.

He called the police for the first time, but the police said that they could not accurately speculate on the exact time of the theft, and it was difficult to carry out a search.

The loss was not serious, but he was very frightened. He could no longer feel safe in his apartment, so he began to plan to move and look for a new house, which seriously affected his daily training and preparation.

But in this regard, the club and the coach did not give him any help at all. Coach magate just said a few words of comfort in an interview, and then he let go. He had to deal with everything by himself.

This is really a very difficult time for him, who is only 22 years old.

Because of the influence on the state at the beginning of the season, he began not to be trusted by magate. For this reason, the two even had a verbal conflict in the media, which was reported by the media.

More importantly, this year is the last year of his 04 contract with Schalke.

After entering October, the renewal of lakitic's contract has been widely concerned. Lakitic's intention is to renew his contract, but he hopes that the club and the coaching staff will promise him the opportunity to play. He firmly believes that he can meet the requirements of the coaching staff and complete the team's tasks. He does not feel worse than other teammates.

At the same time, his agent is also actively planning for him, and has been linked with a number of teams, such as Birmingham, Bolton, Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, Napoli, Juve, AC Milan in Serie A, Atletico Madrid, Seville and other teams in La Liga.

This is a very common negotiation method. On the one hand, it can exert certain pressure on the club to ensure the interests of the players when renewing the contract. On the other hand, it can also grasp certain initiative to avoid the players falling into passivity after the club refuses to renew the contract.

In order to show his sincerity, lakitic openly said through an interview with his agent that although many teams, including Inter Milan, are eager to get lakitic, the player's first choice is still to stay in Schalke 04.

However, Schalke 04 and coach margat still refused to accept the request of lakitic, unwilling to guarantee his main position in the team, which made the renewal negotiations between the two sides have to fall into a deadlock.

In November, coach magate admitted in a public interview with the media, "I am not optimistic about the contract renewal negotiations of rajitic. In fact, we are likely to decide to sell him during the winter break."

"Everything can happen in the professional league, and this winter's trade is also possible."

Magate's words undoubtedly put rajitic in a very embarrassing situation. He has to make a choice.

This is undoubtedly a difficult choice.

He is only 22 years old. In the past few years in Schalke 2004, except for his first season, he failed to show satisfactory strength and progress in the rest of the seasons, which made him questioned unprecedented.

He is no longer the Basle talent of three years ago.

If, this time transfer, to the new club, he did not show a better performance, then his career will be void.

It is precisely because of this that many strong teams are deterred from him.

Atletico Madrid is no longer in touch with each other. There is no real contact between Juve and AC Milan from the beginning to the end. There are not many choices left for him.

Birmingham and Bolton in the Premier League, Sevilla in La Liga, Napoli in Serie A

The agent said that recently another team was in contact with him, China City in La Liga.

Alpine team, promoted last season, ranked third in La Liga this season, is likely to impact the qualification of the Champions League.

The reason why Atletico Madrid is no longer attacking rajitic is that they have a crush on Schneiderlin in Chinatown, and Chinatown wants to introduce him in order to fill the vacancy of Schneiderlin.

This is more or less distressing for rajitic.

But the reality is so cruel, not because he is young, he has a little soft hearted.

…………

"What's the matter? You've been sullen lately. "

A familiar voice suddenly rang out behind him.

Lakitic looked back and was impressed by his teammate Raul, the former Real Madrid captain.

A good man.

At least that's what rajitic thinks.

"You know that." Rajitic returned with a bitter smile.

This smile, the expression on his face completely can not see, only 22 years old, looks very mature.

That is a kind of forced out, showing immature and weak maturity.

"It's hard to say about the transfer and it's very difficult to make a choice, but sometimes we don't have a choice at all

Raul went to lakitic and looked out at the Salk stadium, but there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, as if what he saw was the palace of his heart, the Bernabeu stadium.

"I never thought that one day I would leave Real Madrid, but when I had to leave, I found that it was a good thing to leave, for me, for the club, for the coaching staff and for everyone. After leaving, you will find that a lot of things that I thought I could not give up can be given up."

Rajitic listened carefully to Raul's consolation, who is one of the few teammates in the team who still have confidence in him.

In fact, both of them are in tune in training and competition.

"Before I made my decision, one of my neighbors told me that there was a proverb in his country that trees die and people live, so later I decided to leave Real Madrid."

When Raul said this, he began to laugh, looking relieved and relaxed.

He has said more than once that after coming to Schalke 04, he can play football more easily and enjoy the fun of football.

"Oh, by the way, my neighbor is called Gaohan."

"It's him!" Rajitic's eyes brightened.

This name is very popular in the whole European football world. All professional players are proud of playing in the cold, but only the top stars can play for him, so his team can often play the best results.

"He... What kind of person is he?" Asked rakititch curiously.

Raoul seldom mentioned the cold, but they were still neighbors. Rajitic was very curious.

"What kind of people?" Raul laughs and thinks hard. He shakes his head and says, "it's hard to say. Ordinary people, according to their Chinese aesthetic standards, are quite handsome, but I don't think he is as handsome as I am."

Rajitic could not help but smile when he heard this. He did not expect that Raul had such a side.

"He's a football fanatic, a trustworthy person, I think

"What about Chinatown?"

"Chinatown?" Raul frowned and thought hard, "as far as I know, he is the crystallization of the hard work of the high cold. He has been supported by the high cold for ten years. Now it's not easy for him to survive these two years. He has played well in La Liga this season. What he is good at is the youth training. He is very good at cultivating players."

After a pause, Raul said with a smile, "you know, Carlos cantarello is carving players, that's this!" Raul gave a thumbs up sign of appreciation.

Cantarello is also the most famous figure in European football. He is the right arm of the cold. He has done well in many teams. Later, he served as the technical director of Chinatown. This is exactly the two years when Chinatown has made great progress.

"This team has only been established for 10 years, and its foundation is relatively weak, but there is no doubt about its strength. At least I don't think it's an accident that it can play third in La Liga this season, because as far as I know, they have gathered a group of outstanding young players, and they are also very good at mining and cultivating players, so they have developed very fast in the past two years."

"I'm not sure what will happen in the future, but I think it should be a force that can't be underestimated in La Liga and even in European football."

Raul looks at rajitic's thoughtful expression and understands the Croatian's dilemma.

It was only yesterday that he heard from his friends that Chinatown was interested in rajitic, but he was not interested in participating in it. Today, rajitic mainly asked, so he would give an answer. Moreover, everything was from the heart, and there was no falsification.

"I personally understand that your characteristics are more suitable for La Liga, where you can give full play to your strength. In addition to the Chinese city, Sevilla, Valencia and Villarreal are also very good choices. I suggest you think about it. The next choice is very important for you." Raul said earnestly.

Rajitic nodded heavily. He could feel Raul's kindness.

"May I venture to ask you a question?" Asked rakititch suddenly.

"Of course, you ask." Raul returned briskly.

"If... I mean if, hypothetically, if you were me, which team would you choose?"

Raul was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "This hypothesis is very difficult to answer."

"It doesn't matter. I'm just asking. You can talk about it."

Raul pondered and nodded, "Chinatown."

"Why?"

"Gao Han and I are neighbors. I know him. He won't pit me." Raul laughs.

Rajitic's response was... Black.

I feel dizzy!
