Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Zorc's words are not without purpose, but are based on the club's past achievements. As one of the five major leagues in the Bundesliga, they have the best fan culture in the world.

The move to Dortmund means that Wang Po not only has a significant increase in salary, but also has a completely higher level of exposure, which is not comparable to second-tier leagues like the Portuguese Super League.

"A super rich club is your ultimate dream, I guess. Dortmund is definitely your best springboard."

After Zorc finished speaking, everyone present laughed silently.

Privately, the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich has been nicknamed the "Bundesliga excavator" by fans. It is difficult for Bundesliga players to refuse an invitation from a super-rich club like Nan Dawang.

There is a rumor that has been circulating among the fan community that Barcelona’s youth training is the La Masia youth training camp, Bayern Munich’s youth training is the entire Bundesliga, and Real Madrid’s youth training is the whole world.

Tom said sincerely, "Per, I, including the entire club's senior management, fully respect your opinion."

"Tom, we are old friends. Can you tell me the truth? Has the club encountered any difficulties? Otherwise, I can't think of any reason to sit at the negotiating table today." The experienced Hamburger asked straightforwardly. .

Hearing this, Tom looked embarrassed, hesitated and said, "Yes, I must tell you truthfully, the club's financial situation is not good, and the transfer fee of 40 million euros can alleviate the pressure in this regard."

"Does the club need this money very much?" Hamburg then asked.

Tom nodded, took a deep breath and said, "But our intention is still to keep the players. However, the contract provided by Dortmund is very sincere, and we do not have the ability to match it. Therefore, we have reached a consensus that as long as the players agree, we can keep the players." This deal can be sealed.”

Yes, 1.8 million euros and 3 million euros. The annual salary difference between the two contracts is nearly doubled. This is a big number. Emotional cards cannot make up for the huge gap between the two contracts.

The financially troubled Benfica team has already prepared for the worst, even if everyone understands that after losing Wang Po, it will be difficult to defend the championship with the state of this year's team, and they have to do so.

They fully respect the athletes on their team.

The topic was heavy, and Wang Po fell into silence. Tom and Zorc on the opposite side were quietly waiting for the answer to be revealed.

Stay or transfer?

A high annual salary and a higher platform are temptations that players cannot refuse.

The choice is difficult. After thinking for a long time, Wang Po made a decision. "To be honest, this choice is difficult. The two contracts make me very embarrassed. First of all, I want to say sorry if I have hurt you or the club because of my decision." I am extremely sorry and thank you all for thinking so highly of me.”

"Benfica club can be said to be the starting point of my career. Here I won the first league championship, the first cup championship, the first Champions League appearance, and the first Champions League quarter-finals. Unfortunately, due to injury , and did not play in the subsequent games. If I leave the club like this, I will regret it for the rest of my life.”

"So, I'm sorry Mr. Zorc, thank you Borussia Dortmund for your appreciation. Your contract is also very sincere. I can feel this, but more importantly, Benfica is like my home. When I am frustrated, , even when I couldn’t play in the game, it was Benfica and Mr. Tom who gave me this opportunity. When I was seriously injured, it was the head coach, teammates and fans who gave me encouragement and support and allowed me to return to the game. , It can be said that without Benfica Club, I would not be where I am today. The club is in a terrible situation and my departure will only bring greater losses. I cannot do this.”

Tom's eyes filled with tears when he heard this. He couldn't help but stood up and gave Wang Po a big and emotional hug.

"I am a grateful person. I have also said that I am willing to give everything I have to Benfica. Even if I have to leave in the future, I must leave something to the club and the fans..."

Zorc exhaled, pinched his eyes tiredly, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm really sorry that I didn't take you away. In fact, before I came, I was very confident, but your sincerity moved me, You are a pure football player. I must say it again, Per. I really appreciate you and like you. I also hope that you can join my team one day. How about it?”

"Of course, I am very willing to play for Dortmund, but unfortunately, it is not now." Wang Po replied.

Zorc pursed his lips and said, "Okay, is this a gentleman's agreement between us?"

"Of course, if I want to transfer, I will give priority to Borussia Dortmund. This is my promise."

After saying that, under the witness of Tom, Wang Po and Zorc high-fived each other.

"I will be waiting for you to join us at the Wiesland Stadium, I hope this day will not be too long." Finally, Zorc added.

"Is it the best home stadium in football? Of course, that is where I long for."

…

Wang Po's transfer rumors are intensifying in the media.

Rumors are flying everywhere, and there are even reports that super wealthy clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona have also joined the competition.

Benfica fans are in pain. Wang Po's existence is too important to the team and they cannot accept his departure.

When Benfica announced on its official website that it had signed a five-year, 9 million euro contract with the team's No. 80 player, Wang Po from China, the fans of Benfica fell into a carnival. For them who had been waiting for the news, today was a festival worth celebrating, and the heavy stone in their hearts could be put down.

Later, Benfica's team reporter also revealed the ups and downs of Wang Po's new contract in his personal column.

When the fans learned that in order to continue to play for Benfica, Wang Po rejected Dortmund, which paid almost twice as much, at that moment, this Chinese boy was the god in the hearts of all Benfica fans.

Some fans even launched a petition online to erect a statue for Wang Po at the Stadium of Light. For a time, Wang Po's reputation reached its peak, and even ushered in the envy of the fans of the sworn enemy Porto. Look at their own Silva, even if he got the highest salary in the team, he still transferred every other day and made trouble with his agent Zhan-Jack.

How good would it be if it was Wang Po who got the position at the beginning?

There is no harm without comparison, but it is too late.

Wang Po's stay in the team stabilized the morale of the team. In the subsequent league and cup competitions, the team gradually got on the right track, and a wave of 10 unbeaten games in various competitions announced the return of the king.

With outstanding performance, Wang Po secured the starting position, and his role in the midfield exceeded Riise, becoming the new first commander of the midfield.

Everything was going well, but during the mid-season transfer window, Benfica still received bad news.
