Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

The issue of Kroos' contract extension with Bayern has long been known to everyone in the industry.

And this is not news coming from within Bayern this season.

As early as last season's Bundesliga season had not yet ended, news that Bayern's top management and Kroos's agency team were in a contract renewal deadlock had already spread in the industry.

A talented midfielder like Kroos, who has become famous at a young age and has already secured a starting position in a wealthy club, has never lacked the attention of the four major league clubs.

But last season, the only wealthy team that really took action to take Kroos away from Bayern Munich was Manchester United.

Other wealthy teams are waiting and watching. After all, there are news every year about unsuccessful contract renewals between talented players and their home teams.

The most common conflict is the inability to negotiate salary. This is very realistic, but it is based on the size of the people. In the end, there is nothing wrong with giving Kroos a new contract that matches his worth.

At least in the summer window last year, the vast majority of wealthy teams did not think Bayern's top management would make a fool of themselves.

A player like Kroos will remain the core of Bayern's midfield for the next 10 years, and Kroos is not a money-grubbing wolf. He can be paid whatever he is worth.

Maybe Cross himself thought so at the time. He had already paid his dues, and he didn't feel that he wanted a normal contract extension before the Lions opened their mouth.

As a result, Bayern's top management slapped Kroos in the face with an arrogant attitude and a contract with an annual salary of only 6 million after renewal!

Kroos is also a straight man from East Germany. How could he bear this anger? He immediately vetoed the contract extension offered by Bayern.

To be honest, if the top management of Manchester United were not too stingy last summer, Sir Alex Mo would have brought Kroos to Old Trafford.

With such a fuss, the communication between Kroos and Bayern's top management completely broke down.

In the 2013-2014 season, Kroos continued to serve as the main force of the team in Bayern Munich. Gotze could not squeeze out his starting position, and he had to rotate on the wing more often.

But even as the starting lineup, he helped Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League triple crown this season.

Kroos only waited for the somewhat humiliating 6.5 million contract extension given by Bayern's top management...

As the main midfielder of the top Bundesliga club and the core player of the Triple Crown champions, is he only worth an additional 500,000 if he plays well for one more year?

So it's no wonder that Kroos and Bayern's senior management fell out. No one else can withstand this.

Originally, Kroos and his agent discussed that he would reveal to the outside world his determination to leave Bayern Munich completely one week after the season ended.

But now Li Ang has extended an invitation to him on behalf of Mourinho, or on behalf of Chelsea.

Before announcing the news that he wanted to leave the team, Cross felt that he could talk to Li Ang first.

As a result, the day after Kroos and Li Ang called, Chelsea's negotiation team and Mourinho arrived directly in Munich...

This was a sudden and resolute attack, and Li Ang was forcibly taken by Mourinho. It could be said that it was a public and private affair, and Kroos was more or less confused.

After all, in his impression, Mourinho will be more or less an old-school, traditional coach who respects rules.

As a result, Mourinho in reality was so decisive and action-oriented, and his enthusiastic attitude also made Cross feel full of respect.

Just like what Li Ang said to him in the text message before.

What he is angry about is that Bayern's senior management does not respect him at all, but here at Chelsea, money and respect are enough!

Mourinho's lust for Kroos was obviously not a temporary move. When he left Real Madrid and returned to Chelsea, Mourinho had already considered Kroos's idea.

However, after receiving industry news that Heynckes 100% would not let Kroos leave the team, Mourinho temporarily stopped trying to recruit Kroos.

Now that Heynckes has retired and no longer serves as Bayern's head coach, the conflict between Kroos and Bayern's top management is also increasing day by day.

For Mourinho, this summer window is of course a good time to make a move.

There are very few young midfielders of Kroos's level on the market today.

In addition, Abramovich gave Mourinho a direct green light on the transfer fee in this summer window.

So after Li Ang successfully contacted Kroos in the early battle, Mourinho couldn't wait for a moment and directly took the negotiation team to Munich in person.

He is bound to win against Cross, he has a lot of sincerity, and he has already made plans for Cross's tactical position.

Coupled with Li Ang's persuasion, he didn't believe Cross could resist the temptation of teaming up with Li Ang to win the Triple Crown again!

On the contrary, the salary contract and benefits were something that the two parties agreed upon immediately.

Kroos's agent was somewhat cautious in asking for an annual salary of at least 10 million euros.

As a result, Chelsea's negotiating team backhandedly offered a weekly salary of 175,000 pounds after tax, plus bonuses.

In euro terms, that is close to 11.5 million euros after tax!

This magnanimity immediately stopped Kroos’s agent from having any thoughts of rejecting Chelsea’s invitation.

Not being considered a traditional giant is Chelsea's biggest weakness now.

In line with the mentality of being responsible for Kroos, his agent also wants Kroos to wait for invitations from other European giants.

But he really couldn't say this now.

There is no way, Chelsea has given too much...

After contacting him that day, Chelsea showed complete respect and sincerity, at least in terms of salary and benefits.

Chelsea's negotiating team remains in Munich and will have further communication and discussions with Kroos' agent.

Mourinho returned to London with expectations, and he had other sales and signings to personally check.

Li Ang stayed in Munich for another day, and then got on the plane back home.

He is going back to participate in this summer's commercial activities and meetings with domestic fans.

After repeated communication and analysis with his family and agent, Cross finally gave his answer to Chelsea on the fourth day after breaking up with Li Ang.

As long as Chelsea and Bayern Munich reach an agreement on the official transfer level, there will be no problems on his side!

This news made Mourinho very happy, but the two parties only reached a preliminary intention and did not sign any contract privately.

In theory, Kroos and Chelsea are not really together now.

First of all, Bayern must nod and agree to negotiate this transfer. Only then can Chelsea defeat other coveted giant teams and completely acquire Kroos.

Therefore, while clearing up redundant players internally, Mourinho is also urging the transfer department to negotiate Kroos' transfer conditions with Bayern as soon as possible.

According to common sense, Chelsea can try to lower the price for a player like Kroos who only has the last year of his contract with his home team.

But in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Chelsea finally made a very sincere first offer to Bayern Munich.

In early June, the transfer scandal involving Chelsea making an offer to Bayern for Toni Kroos was suddenly revealed by major sports media.

Immediately afterwards, transfer news came one after another that Real Madrid quoted 30 million euros and Manchester United quoted 30 million euros for Kroos.

Bayern officials immediately refuted the rumors to appease their fans and did not acknowledge the fact that other teams had made offers to Kroos.

"At present, our contract renewal progress is very normal, and both parties are actively communicating..."

Bayern's official website tried to prove that the contract extension between the club and Kroos is progressing smoothly.

However, the major sports media who knew the inside information scoffed and continued to intensify their efforts to expose the connection between Kroos and other wealthy clubs.

Kroos's transfer scandal seemed to be the prelude to this summer's exciting transfer war.

Rooney, Suarez, Diego Costa, Thomas Muller, Cristiano Ronaldo...

One after another, the names of football stars appeared in sports newspapers.

All kinds of vivid transfer insider news attracted the attention of fans. The popularity of these news even surpassed the upcoming World Cup in Brazil.

Finally, on June 10, two days before the opening of the World Cup in Brazil, the first major transfer news of this summer window was announced!

Chelsea and Bayern Munich have reached an agreement to bring in young German midfielder Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich.

According to "Bild", the transfer fee negotiated by Chelsea and Bayern was finally set at 35 million euros, which will be paid in one lump sum without installments.

It exceeds the 30 million euro offer made by Real Madrid and Manchester United to Bayern Munich that was previously reported by other media.

If you look at it according to the market price, then Chelsea got a huge bargain.

After all, he is the core midfielder of Bayern Munich and the current German national team.

For a normal transfer, Chelsea would not even think about starting negotiations with Bayern unless they paid more than 50 million euros.

But there is no way, who makes Kroos only have the last year of his contract with Bayern?

And everyone in the industry knows that Kroos has already fallen out with Bayern's senior management.

Under this circumstance, Chelsea did not overly lower the price and even offered a transfer fee of 35 million euros, which was actually quite sincere.

It's just that the time the two parties chose to announce this transfer is a bit strange.

Generally speaking, this kind of transfer will be announced after the World Cup.

In the end, some German media jumped out and broke the news, saying that Bayern's senior management wanted to have final communication with Kroos, but they could no longer contact Kroos himself.

Rummenigge wanted to talk to Kroos' agent again, but Hoeness, who intervened in the negotiations at the last moment, used a tough attitude to make the two sides break up.

There is no hope of negotiation at all, and both sides have strongly stated that they will not back down, so it is not surprising that such a result is achieved.

Li Ang, who learned the news in China, couldn't help but shake his head, and he didn't understand why Bayern's top brass was so tough.

If it is really because of Kroos's "East German" identity that he suffered high-level discrimination in the Bayern team, it would be simply ridiculous.

However, after Cross has officially transferred to Chelsea, Li Ang is no longer interested in knowing these so-called inside information within the Bayern team.

After making a welcome call to Cross immediately, Li Ang looked at the World Cup schedule and accelerated the process of summer business activities.

Finally, just before the quarter-finals of the World Cup started, Li Ang completed all his business trips this summer and flew to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The tickets were naturally purchased in advance by the brokerage team.

Li Ang watched the World Cup quarter-finals between France and Germany and Argentina and Belgium on July 4 and 5.

Neither game was particularly exciting. At this stage of the World Cup, there are far more conservative counter-attack scenes than unrestrained offensive scenes.

But I have to say that the atmosphere at the scene was still very lively.

Three days later, the semifinals of the World Cup in Brazil officially began.

Li Ang no longer paid attention to the showdown between Argentina and the Netherlands. He witnessed the historic moment when the German tanks slaughtered the Brazilian national team 8-2.

The score of this game was different from the impressive 7-1 in his memory.

But the game scene was still very similar to the process in his memory.

Li Ang can only express deep sympathy for the Brazilian team's experience.

After the game, he also sent consoling text messages to his current club teammates.

On July 13, Leon watched the final of this World Cup at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

This time without Gotze's shocking strike in overtime, Germany and Argentina tied 1-1 during regular game time.

In overtime, neither team scored again.

At the penalty shootout stage, Deutsche Chariot once again crushed the Hercules Cup dream of this generation of Argentine players.

The result of the penalty shootout was 5-3.

Messi didn't even wait for the fifth penalty kick, and could only watch heartbrokenly as his opponents celebrated wildly in the Malakara Stadium.

Bayern's players are simply losing money this season.

The club has had a bumper harvest of honors, and the national team has also won the Hercules Cup that countless players dream of.

Li Ang stood among the 100,000 fans at the scene and witnessed with his own eyes the moment when the German team's dream came true.

He admitted that he was envious, even if it was only for a moment, but such envy still clearly existed in his mind.

So that night, he got on a plane to London, England.

Even though Mourinho gave him ample vacation, he still returned to the Cobham training base early and resumed joint training with his young teammates early.

Since July 17, Chelsea has arranged friendly matches with teams from England's lower leagues.

These friendly matches are purely for players such as Maguire, Salah and Ake who have returned from loan to the team to improve their running-in and cooperation with the team's original young players.

Li Ang played very little time in these friendly matches. He mostly sat on the bench and communicated with Ibrahimovic and Terry with his mouth covered, looking like a proper team boss.

On July 22, with almost no media reports before, Chelsea was once again linked to Paris Saint-Germain.

"Sky Sports" and "L'Equipe" broke the news at almost the same time that Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain were preparing three transfer transactions between the two teams.

And just when countless fans were speculating on how the player transfer transactions between the two teams would be carried out, the official announcement was released the next day!

Thiago Silva, who strained his thigh muscle during the World Cup and is still recovering from his injury, switched to Chelsea.

Chelsea's David Luiz and Oscar moved to Paris together.

According to an exclusive report by L'Equipe, the transfer fee for Thiago Silva, the Brazilian national captain who is about to turn 30 years old, has reached 30 million euros.

The total cost of Paris Saint-Germain's introduction of David Luiz and Oscar is about 80 million euros.

Chelsea's introduction of Silva was a bit of a premium, but Chelsea fans expressed their satisfaction with the deal.

Paris Saint-Germain did not suffer a loss. It sold Silva, who was about to turn 30, at a relatively high price, and introduced David Luiz and Oscar at market prices.

Generally speaking, the two clubs have what they need.

Thiago Silva, who had arrived in London that afternoon, also excitedly said in an interview with the British media:

"As you know, the Little Lion is my brother, and Zlatan is a very strong guy. I am very happy to be able to partner with them again! I am ready to play for Mourinho. See you in the new season. We will definitely make him Everyone was surprised!”
