Midfielder Ruler

Chapter II High Level Meeting

In order to be the first to receive the award on stage, Tang Zheng made full use of his ingenuity to trick his teammates into looking up at the sky, causing the audience to burst into laughter.

Of course, this scene is just a small episode before the championship awards, because the real feast is yet to come.

As the biggest contributor to Dortmund's championship, no one has any objection to Tang Zheng being the first to receive the medal on stage, after all, his contribution is obvious to all.

If it weren't for Tang Zheng's stunning performance, perhaps their mentality would be very likely to be switched with the Real Madrid players now.

UEFA President Michel Platini personally put the championship medal on Tang Zheng's neck, but what is interesting is that Michel Platini said a lot of words after putting the medal on Tang Zheng, so that the line The long queue of Dortmund players waited very anxiously.

Not long after, all Dortmund players came to the middle of the highest podium wearing championship medals.

In order to maintain respect for the wounded, Tang Zheng and the others made room for Pirlo and Kyle.

At the same time, out of respect for the captain Kyle, Tang Zheng said without hesitation: "Sebastian, the championship trophy will be awarded to you later on behalf of the whole team."

"Huh?" Kyle smiled and patted Tang Zheng's shoulder, pointing to the captain's armband on his left arm: "Now you are the captain, so you represent the whole team."

Seeing Tang Zheng's hesitation, Kyle said again: "Everyone can see your dedication, you... are more suitable to be the captain than me."

Weidenfeller, who was standing behind Tang Zheng, also said: "Sebastian is right, no one is more suitable than you to hold this championship trophy high."

"Since that's the case." Tang Zheng didn't pretend any more, nodded and said, "Then I won't be able to refuse my kindness."

As soon as the words fell, the huge momentum erupting from the new Wembley Stadium dropped significantly.

Everyone's focus is on UEFA President Michel Platini and the Champions League trophy in his hands - the St. Bradley Cup.

It symbolizes the highest glory of European clubs!

Dortmund coach Klopp, like other assistant coaches and players, was in a bad mood. He couldn't help jumping back and forth with the players around him in order to relieve the restlessness in his heart.

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice was visibly trembling, he said excitedly: "The exciting time has come, Tang Zheng, as the captain of Dortmund, will represent the whole team! He took over the emblem from UEFA President Michel Platini. The St. Blair Cup of the Champions League, also known as the Big Ears Cup!"

The Tang Zheng shown in the broadcast screen seemed to be very calm, but in fact he was not, he was trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart.

The coveted Champions League trophy is finally about to be touched, even if it is not the first time he has touched it...

Of course, the previous touch was before the Champions League final.

Platini smiled and handed the St. Brad's Cup to Tang Zheng, who was suddenly distracted.

It was Captain Kaier who pushed Tang Zheng to bring him back to reality.

When Tang Zheng's warm hands touched the cold St. Brad's Cup, a throbbing instantly spread from his fingers to his heart.

This... is all reality!

With excitement, Tang Zheng held up the St. Brad's Cup, and at the same time shouted almost crazily: "We are the European champions!!"

"Aww-"

Borussia Dortmund fans at the new Wembley Stadium erupted, creating deafening background special effects.

But the live broadcast seemed a bit inappropriate at this time, and the most exciting melody of the Champions League theme song "-League" resounded throughout the stadium.

"Die-Meister"

"Die-Besten"

"Les-Grandes-?quipes"

"The-"

...

At the same time, yellow and black confetti sprayed down from the stadium roof, flying all over the sky, and it was extremely beautiful.

The on-site director gave a long-range shot, which was very charming from the rebroadcast screen.

The broadcaster also put subtitles on the eye-catching position of the broadcast screen: 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League Champions - Dortmund!

Countless Dortmund fans sitting in front of the TV shed tears of excitement, especially the older generation fans. The last time they saw Dortmund reach the top of Europe was sixteen years ago.

May I ask, how many sixteen years are there in life?

Sixteen years is enough for an infant to grow into a pillar, and it can also improve the living standard of a country with economic depression.

Not to mention the fans who came to the scene with the team. While they were making noise, tears flowed from the corners of their eyes, tears of excitement.

The same was true for the Chinese fans at the scene. Dortmund's ability to win the second UEFA Champions League since the establishment of the team was directly related to Tang Zheng. They cheered desperately and were proud of Tang Zheng and Yan Junling, who had five-star red flags in their eyes.

Central 5 commentator He Wei was impassioned and eloquent: "Dortmund! The 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League champion, the second UEFA Champions League trophy in the club's history! Now the Rhine River, the City Hall, and the Signal Iduna Park Stadium at night must be It's packed with celebratory crowds and beer sales are set to hit new highs!"

Tang Zheng kissed the trophy in his hand, then handed it to the captain beside him, Kyle.

Amidst the yellow and black confetti flying all over the sky, every Dortmund player's face was filled with a smile that a winner should have.

※※※

After the players lifted the Champions League trophy high on the podium, the Champions League theme song "-League" played on the live radio also became the Dortmund team song "Das-Vereinslied".

The next time will be reserved for the champion Dortmund.

They walked around the field with the Champions League trophy and shared the joy and excitement brought by the championship trophy with Dortmund fans who came from afar.

The opposite of joy is sadness. Real Madrid fans can be said to be one of the saddest people in the world. They should have won the Champions League, but they met Tang Zheng, who was like a magic soldier.

This feeling is like the goddess who has been secretly in love for many years suddenly confessed to herself, but later found out that it was a short-lived dream.

Dortmund fans cheered enthusiastically at the new Wembley Stadium. The diehard Real Madrid fans in the north stand were expressionless, and more fans held their heads with their hands, looking very painful.

Winners and losers, history has always been written for the winners, no one will pay attention to the losers.

In everyone's eyes, only the winner Dortmund, and the failed Real Madrid players are only concerned by the fans of the team, and no one pays any attention.

It was not until 11:30 pm local time in the UK that Dortmund fans in the new Wembley Stadium left the stadium under the persuasion of the players and returned to the hotel where they stayed.

The Dortmund players who returned to the hotel where they stayed did not feel sleepy, and many players were basically high until dawn.

After all, most of the players in the team are young people with weak ability to control their emotions.

Moreover, the team won the Champions League, which many professional players dream of. Even Pirlo, who has won the World Cup and the Champions League, couldn't restrain himself, and carnivaled all night with his young teammates.

The next afternoon, the Dortmund team took a flight back to Dortmund from Heathrow International Airport with a pair of panda eyes.

The joy of winning the Champions League has not diminished with the passage of time, especially for Dortmund fans who have not traveled to London, England, how can they not be excited to welcome the champions in person now?

Therefore, when the whole team appeared at the exit of the international flight, the whole airport boiled instantly.

If it weren't for the proper maintenance of the local police, it is estimated that a safety accident is very likely to occur.

"Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang—"

Especially when Tang Zheng took off his sunglasses and appeared, deafening shouts rang out from the boiling airport.

The fans were so enthusiastic, Tang Zheng had to wave frequently, and even stopped and patiently signed autographs for those excited fans.

I don't know which fan took the lead. They sang "Song of Tang" that has been frequently played at the Westphalon Stadium in the past two seasons.

Listening to the familiar song, Tang Zheng smiled, then lowered his head and continued to sign.

Of course, Tang Zheng's signature didn't last too long, because the airport has a very large throughput, if it occupies the exit for a long time, it is very likely to cause unnecessary safety accidents.

Besides, Dortmund's championship celebration cannot be held at the airport, so members of Dortmund's coaching staff and players quickly boarded the bus prepared in advance under the escort of security personnel.

It's just that the speed of the bus is very slow, because there are too many Dortmund fans coming to the airport.

※※※

Considering that there will be a German Cup final at the Berlin Olympiastadion five days later, the club did not prepare the team for a championship presentation at the city hall, but waited until after the German Cup final.

Thinking that Dortmund has been the German Cup champion for three consecutive seasons, both the media and fans are quite optimistic about Dortmund's next final.

What's more, the opponent is Bayern, who has been firmly held down by Dortmund for more than three seasons.

It is equivalent to saying that it is not sufficient.

Returning to Dortmund, Klopp gave the team two days off, allowing the players to welcome the German Cup final in a happy mood.

Tang Zheng was also able to spend time with his parents and girlfriend, enjoying the rare family happiness.

This was not the first time Tang's father went abroad, but it was definitely Tang's mother's first time abroad, so Tang Zheng borrowed a Land Rover from Hummels, and drove his parents and girlfriend to various scenic spots in Germany.

At this time, intense discussions were going on in the conference room of the Dortmund club office building.

Strange to say, it stands to reason that the head coach Klopp does not need to participate in such a high-level meeting, but he was invited.

"I think everyone has read all the documents on the table?"

It turned out that from yesterday to this morning, the sports director Zorc received several offers, all of which were about the core members of the new Champions League champions.

In other words, these quotations have raised the original quotations a little bit.

Among them, the most interesting transfer offer is undoubtedly Tang Zheng. Chelsea, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and other teams offer close to 100 million euros, and the most sincere club is Real Madrid, which lost to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final.

One hundred million euros!

The high-level executives were discussing fiercely, but Klopp frowned, held a pen in his right hand, and tapped the table rhythmically.

After a while, CEO Watzke reached out to signal everyone to suspend the discussion, and then looked at Klopp: "Jurgen, I want to hear your opinion."

"If you want to remain competitive in the Bundesliga and the Champions League, anyone can sell it except Don." Klopp looked at Watzke with sharp eyes, and said neither humble nor overbearing.

Watzke frowned, in his heart, Tang Zheng was the one he most wanted to sell!

Because selling Tang Zheng is enough to support the entire team, and it can also maintain the thickness of the lineup.

However, as a successful businessman, Watzke's superficial skills are still very good, and he handed Klopp two more documents.

The top one is the club's latest financial statement, and the other one is the latest salary package submitted by Tang Zheng's agent Rodrigo.

Klopp is responsible for leading the team. Although he doesn't know much about finances, he can still understand basic income and expenses.

At this time, Watzke glanced at Zork, who sighed, stood up and said: "Jurgen, I know what you think, but the club needs to survive. In order to ensure the survival of the team in the Bundesliga and even Europe, We have to know the trade-offs.”

As soon as the voice fell, Zorc raised the volume: "You also know that the contracts of Robert Lewandowski and Mario Gotze will expire next summer. They both deserve a high salary, but now The team has no money!"

"When the Champions League bonus comes down, won't the problem be solved?" Klopp is still insisting.

The atmosphere fell into silence, and Watzke suddenly said: "Jurgen, you should know that Tang's contract has two years left, and do you know how much his annual salary for the renewal?"

Klopp shook his head and Watzke said: "Twelve million euros after tax!"

"Wow~"

Suddenly, the meeting room was in an uproar.

"This is a requirement that we simply cannot meet!" Watzke continued: "You also know that the Bundesliga has a healthy financial impact on the club. In order to retain other core players, we can only sacrifice Don."

"One hundred million euros is not a small amount."

Klopp frowned, didn't say anything, just kept tapping the pen on the table.

As Watzke said about healthy finances, that's the biggest hurdle to keeping Don.

After a long time, Klopp whispered: "But I need a successor."

"No problem at all, as long as you like it, you can discuss it with Michelle." Watzke smiled.

"Um."

Klopp nodded lightly, then got up and said: "If there is nothing else, I will leave. There will be a German Cup final in four days. I will discuss tactics with Zelico and Peter."

When Klopp left the meeting room, Cramer, the head of the marketing department, looked at Watzke: "I think Don's value is more than 100 million euros."

"what do you mean……"

"Fixed transfer fee and variable terms."

Cramer crossed his hands against his chin and said lightly.

"Floating clause?" Watzke asked curiously, "What is established?"

"Goals, assists, FIFA Ballon d'Or, capital gains on re-transfers during the contract period, these can all be added."

"OK!" Watzke nodded and said, "Then reply to these clubs according to what Carsten said."

As soon as the voice fell, Watzke said to Zorke again: "Michel, hurry up and communicate with Jurgen to see which potential player is suitable to succeed Don. By the way, there are other core players' contract extensions. The problem has to be done this summer."

After explaining the matter about Tang Zheng, Watzke seemed to be talking to himself: "I hope... these news can alleviate the fans' resentment towards us..."

The words were full of deep helplessness.
