Midfielder Ruler

"Go to Milan to persuade Andre Pirlo to join Dortmund?" Tang Zheng covered his mouth lightly and said tentatively.

"That's right." Klopp had a teachable expression on his face: "That's him."

"I heard that he seems to have reached an agreement with Juventus in private, just wait until the last round of Serie A is over." Tang Zheng's implication was that Pirlo would sign a formal contract with Juventus after the league ended.

Klopp smiled and said nothing, Tang Zheng didn't speak anymore, but turned his attention back to the club's awards dinner.

The best striker is Barrios, the best defender is Hummels, and the best rookie is Gotze.

Dortmund performed perfectly in the 2010-2011 season, winning the league championship, German Cup championship and Europa League championship, which can be said to be the most eye-catching existence in Europe.

The next morning, a notification sound of a text message woke Tang Zheng up from his dream, and he took it out to have a look.

Immediately refreshed.

Because... the bonus for this season has already arrived.

Six figures!

EUR!

The last round of the 2010-2011 Serie A season kicked off at 4:00 pm on May 25th. AC Milan, which has already won the Serie A championship this season, played against Udinese at home.

In this match, Tang Zheng saw many acquaintances.

Former river plate comrade-in-arms and now Udinese player Sanchez, former Fluminense player Thiago Silva who has fought in the Copa Libertadores, and Flamini, a partner of granata-tang company.

In this game, apart from Flamini sitting on the bench, Sanchez, Thiago Silva and Pirlo are all in the starting lineup.

Compared with three years ago, Sanchez's physical condition has become stronger and his ball control has become more reasonable.

Pirlo's way of playing is still listless. No wonder Chinese fans laughed and called him Sleepy, but I have to say that every time he plays the ball is very reasonable.

He would often find a teammate with a penetrating pass without even thinking about it.

And Pirlo's positioning skills are still excellent, if there is such a teammate in the future,

Then Dortmund's results next season will definitely go to the next level.

After 90 minutes, the game ended 1:1

Pirlo used a penalty opportunity to help AC Milan equalize the score, and it was Sanchez who helped Udinese open the scoring.

At eight o'clock in the evening local time in Italy, Tang Zheng and Klopp waited for Pirlo in a high-end restaurant in Milan.

What surprised them was that Pirlo did not bring an agent and went to the meeting alone.

This……

It's a good sign!

"Hello."

Pirlo shook hands with Klopp first, then reached out to Tang Zheng: "Your performance is really amazing."

"It's just in good condition." Tang Zheng said calmly, "You are the real master."

"Oh?"

Tang Zheng pointed to Klopp and said, "Jurgen and I watched the Serie A match at San Siro this afternoon."

"Yeah." Pirlo nodded and sat down opposite.

The difference between Westerners and Chinese is that Chinese people like to talk about business while eating, while Westerners like to talk after they are full.

After Pirlo had enough to eat and drink, Klopp took the initiative to switch to the main topic: "Andre, I represent the Borussia Dortmund club, and I sincerely hope that you will join."

Pirlo wiped his mouth with a tablecloth elegantly, then raised his head and said: "I have explained the situation to Michel Zorc before, I don't want to leave Italy, so I will not consider joining Dortmund, and I have already agreed Juventus."

"But..." Klopp just started to speak when he was interrupted by Tang Zheng waving his hand.

Tang Zheng shook his head, and said with regret, "I have to say that you are really old."

"How to say?"

Pirlo was not as dissatisfied as he imagined, but said it playfully.

"At the age of 32, your career is perfect. You have won the Champions League, the league championship, and even the World Cup championship that all professional players dream of. But are you really satisfied with this? Haven't you ever thought of challenging a new career?"

Tang Zheng looked at Pirlo sharply.

"If it were me four years ago, I might have eaten your aggressive method." Pirlo picked up the juice on the table casually, and seeing Tang Zheng suddenly changed his voice: "You are very appetizing to me, I can give you one Chance, chance to convince me!"

After all, he added: "Don't use official words, I've heard too much."

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, and said seriously: "Everyone says you are old and can no longer play football like you are twenty-seven or eight years old. Is this true? I don't think so! The reason why you chose Juventus Because of their ambition to become the hegemony of Italy again, they need you!"

Speaking of this, Tang Zheng's voice suddenly rose twice, pointing at Klopp and said seriously: "This season we won the Triple Crown, and next season we will participate in the Champions League, so we also need you! Or I need an experienced teammate like you to move forward together! And... if I remember correctly, you still lack a triple crown in your glory, right?"

"Your trip to Juventus will at most help them get back into the top Italian clubs, but will forever lose the chance to win the treble, as I said before, you're old... you're at the end of your career, chance! fleeting..."

After Tang Zheng finished speaking, he looked at the head coach Klopp, the meaning was obvious - I've finished my words, it's up to you.

Klopp rolled his eyes helplessly, but his brain was working very fast, he coughed lightly, and said emphatically: "I think what you care about most is playing time, here I can promise, as long as you have no health problems, You are the main force!"

Pirlo fell into deep thought, and he admitted that Tang Zheng's every word came from his heart.

The reason why he chose Juventus was not that he didn't want to leave Italy, but that other giant clubs didn't pay enough attention to it, thinking that he was old and couldn't play the game he was in even two years ago.

Can it be true?

Only you know your body.

For those clubs who don't trust themselves, there is absolutely no need to post it.

As the number one football star in the world today, he has his own dignity!

He just turned 32 years old a few days ago, and he is at the end of his career. His career glory is still short of a European Cup champion and a Triple Crown, and he has no time to waste.

Must seize the opportunity!

If Tang Zheng's words moved Pirlo's heart, then Klopp's words undoubtedly relieved him of any worries.

As for personal treatment, as long as it is not particularly outrageous, it is acceptable.

At his age, money is no longer the most important thing.

Besides, his father was an Italian steel tycoon, a veritable super-rich second generation.

Still short of money?

After thinking it over clearly, Pirlo regained his mood, and said to Klopp and Tang Zheng seriously: "I have to say, your words have deeply moved me, if your club and my agent can reach an agreement, then... next season We are teammates in the same trench!"

That night, Shaheen issued a statement on his personal social network: "I am about to transfer to Real Madrid, thank Dortmund! But the invitation from Real Madrid is an opportunity that cannot be missed for me, and I cannot say no to Real Madrid!"

The next day, Dortmund and Real Madrid updated their official websites at the same time.

Borussia Dortmund thanked Shaheen for his contribution to the club over the past few seasons and wished him success at Real Madrid, Dortmund will always be his home.

Real Madrid is looking forward to Shaheen's future performance in the team to help the team get more glory!

For Shaheen's departure, many Dortmund fans are puzzled.

Why did Dortmund choose to leave at its most glorious time?

Meanwhile, Shaheen's departure left Dortmund fans feeling hesitant.

Shaheen's departure, will it be a signal for the opening of the Dortmund supermarket?

Hans Heisenberg, one of the most influential fans of the Holy South Stand of the Westfalenstadion, specially called Tang Zheng. In his heart, anyone in the Dortmund team could leave, except Tang Zheng. Can.

Because Tang Zheng's existence is the key to Dortmund's return to the top.

"Hans, don't worry, Dortmund must have been at its most glorious when I left, but now...not yet." These were Tang Zheng's original words in response to Hans Heisenberg.

Shaheen joined Real Madrid with a value of 20 million euros. The two parties signed a five-year contract. The specific annual salary was not disclosed.

And Shaheen's departure is not the first player to leave Dortmund.

Captain Dede, who has no place in the team, terminated his contract with the club. Hajnaur, who returned on loan, moved to Stuttgart permanently, and Feulner moved to Nuremberg.

When Tang Zheng returned home for vacation, Dortmund announced that Andrea Pirlo, who played for AC Milan, would be free to join. The two parties signed a three-year contract. million euros.

This transfer information instantly aroused the confusion of countless football experts. They all believed that the 32-year-old Pirlo had gone downhill in his career and was not worth the price.

However, not only the club supports Pirlo, the head coach Klopp and star Tang Zheng all support Pirlo, saying that the joining of Pirlo will make Dortmund more competitive in the future!

Shaheen left and Pirlo joined, which can be regarded as making up for the position.

In addition, Dortmund also introduced in the forward line. Perisic, who played for Bruges, joined for 5.5 million euros.

According to the German media, Dortmund still has supplements in the position of winger, and they are very interested in the Borussia Borussia player Royce with yellow and black blood.

In the case of various media reports, the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League final kicked off at the new Wembley Stadium.

This final has attracted much attention. The two teams met at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome two years ago. At that time, Manchester United lost 0:2 to Barcelona.

Two years later, the two teams met again in the Champions League final, and the venue was again in England. Countless media began to speculate whether Manchester United, which owns half of the home court, would win this championship?

In fact, there is a gap between the strength and on-the-spot performance of the two teams. Barcelona, ​​known as the Cosmos team, has the upper hand. Even Rooney, who wore the No. 10 jersey, helped Manchester United equalize for a while, but he was helpless due to the progress of Messi and Villa. The ball seals the victory.

In the end, Barcelona defeated Manchester United 3:1 at the new Wembley Stadium and won the fourth Champions League title in team history.

And this Champions League champion is also the thirteenth Champions League champion won by the Spanish team. The Spanish team also surpassed the Italian team that had previously won a total of twelve Champions League champions to become the country that has won the most Champions League champions.

Tang Zheng took his parents to South Africa to watch the World Cup last summer, and chose to go to Hawaii for vacation this summer.

Not long, just half a month.

Half a month later, Tang Zheng restarted his machine and received calls from Rodrigo and Chen Jia.

The former was because Dortmund wanted to renew the contract with Tang Zheng, and the annual salary would reach Germany's top 5 million euros, and the latter was because Nike wanted to re-sign a commercial contract with Tang Zheng.

The contract between Tang Zheng and Dortmund will end in the summer of 2014. This time, Dortmund hopes to renew the contract with Tang Zheng until 2016, but Rodrygo is not satisfied with Dortmund's contract renewal conditions.

Ribery's annual salary at Bayern is as high as 10 million euros, Ram 9 million euros, and Robben 7 million euros.

Even Raul, who is about to retire, has an annual salary of 7.2 million euros in Schalke 04, while Diego, who moved to Wolfsburg last summer, has 6 million euros. How could the player's Tang Zheng be worth five million euros?

Rodrigo and Watzke offered an annual salary of 8 million euros, and the contract was renewed until 2016.

Of course, with Dortmund's current financial situation, it is impossible to accept this price.

However, the current Rodrigo is no longer the former Rodrigo. He deliberately appeared in Munich, London, Manchester, Madrid and other places under the lens of the media.

This caused Watzke a lot of headaches. Tang Zheng is currently the number one star in the team, and his performance has been on the rise. The team cannot do without him.

After negotiations between the two parties, Watzke finally agreed to an annual salary of 6 million euros.

As a compromise, Watzke was forced to promise Tang Zheng that if he scored 20+ goals in the entire 2011-2012 season, he would be rewarded with 300,000 euros.

If the number of assists reaches 20+, another 200,000 euros will be awarded.

For each entry into the FIFA Ballon d'Or shortlist, a reward of 100,000 euros will be awarded, and the final three candidates will be rewarded with an additional 200,000 euros. If the final winner of the FIFA Ballon d'Or is selected, a reward of 300,000 euros will be awarded.

The details of the contract also involve more complicated appearance fees, the number of appearances, etc.

Similarly, while Tang Zheng received a high annual salary, his contract break fee also reached an astonishing 100 million euros.

However, this 100 million euro gold bar for breaking the contract is only applicable to Tang Zheng after completing the contract extension until the summer of 2012, and then automatically drops 20 million euros every natural year, which means that in the summer of 2013, if any team wants to get Tang Well, the breach of contract clause is automatically reduced to 80 million euros.

In turn, the breach of contract became 60 million euros in the summer of 2014...

In mid-June, Tang Zheng took a flight back to Germany, and Dortmund held a press conference.

Under the witness of Chinese and foreign reporters, Tang Zheng renewed his contract with the club until the summer of 2016, but the specific annual salary was not disclosed.

But CEO Watzke revealed that the annual salary has reached the top salary in the Bundesliga!
