Chapter 552 The Miracle of Huo Village Invited from Manchester City

Li Huan flew back to Germany after watching the screening of "Twilight" in Los Angeles. The screening was undoubtedly perfect and created a miracle at the box office. With $3700 million in box office revenue on its first day and $3600 million over the weekend, Stewart became a teen icon around the world almost overnight.

When Stewart went crazy in Hollywood with excitement, Li Huan had already returned to Germany and was preparing for the Bundesliga match against Cologne. Cologne is a newly promoted team with mediocre strength. In the Bundesliga, it is at the lower middle level. Only their coach Dom has some magical abilities. , can often cook without rice.However, Hoffenheim's strength is much higher than that of Cologne, so there is no special preparation for this. Their main goal is to challenge Anosisos in the away game next week. Sweeping the opponent 9:0, but Anosisisos's home game is really weird, two away games, one win and one tie, 3:1 victory over Panathinaikos, 3:3 draw with Inter Milan, this Hoffenheim has to be vigilant.

In the evening, Li Huan had just returned home from the training ground when he received a call from Watts, saying that he had something to discuss with him. Li Huan felt a little strange, because his goal this season was to hit the Champions League, so he didn't think about transferring. Watts has not contacted him for a long time. Hearing Watts' tone today, it seems to be a very important matter.

After Watts met Li Huan, Watts went straight to the point and talked about what he wanted to talk to Li Huan. It turned out that after Manchester City was acquired by the Abu Dhabi consortium, they wanted to become an upstart in the Premier League like Chelsea, and now they are all over the world. Acquisition of well-known and powerful players, Ronaldo, Kaka, Messi, and Li Huan are all within the scope of their acquisitions.Abu Dhabi's spokesperson, Al Fahim has officially met with Watts, hoping that Li Huan can join in the winter break.

Li Huan was a little displeased and said: "Watz, I have already said that I will consider transferring next summer. What are you talking to me now? If he is patient, he will wait. If he is impatient, he will go to someone else. Alpha Isn't Sim going to use 5000 million to buy Kaka?"

Watts said helplessly: "Li Huan, of course I haven't forgotten what you told me, but the conditions offered by the Abu Dhabi Group are too generous, so I have to come and tell you in person, otherwise you will regret it in the future, no? Do you still want to blame me?"

Li Huan was stunned and said, "Watz, what kind of conditions did Alphahim have to make you so moved."

Watts smiled bitterly: "Abu Dhabi really doesn't take money as money. Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra bought Manchester City last time, but it cost 8160 million pounds, but the Abu Dhabi consortium spent 2 million pounds to acquire Manchester City. Don't bother to bargain, just tell me directly, as long as you are willing to transfer to Manchester City, if Hoffenheim does not agree, they will directly use your liquidated damages to buy you, and they will definitely not embarrass you. The weekly salary they offer you is also It can be as high as 25 pounds, and the signing fee will be paid to you 1000 million pounds in one lump sum. Do you think I can refuse this offer? Even people who don’t need money, I’m afraid it’s hard to be tempted when faced with so much money.”

Li Huan was really confused when he heard so much money. He knew that the Abu Dhabi consortium was said to have 5000 billion pounds, but it was just a number in his mind. Now Li Huan clearly felt the huge pressure brought by 5000 billion pounds. And allure, all the assets in his hands add up to less than one-fifth of the other party's.

"Is the weekly salary of 25 pounds pre-tax?" Li Huan asked. He didn't blame Watts anymore. No matter who heard such a figure, he had to act cautiously.

"It's not pre-tax, it's after-tax. Li, it's after-tax. A one-year contract is equivalent to three years in Hoffenheim. If you sign for four years at a time, you will get rich, and so will I. ’” Watts’s eyes almost glowed green.This number is also very shocking to Watts, who is now used to doing big contracts.

"This annual salary is a bit crazy, but why are they in such a hurry. No matter for any club, it is difficult to directly finalize a big deal during the winter transfer." Li Huan said a little puzzled.

Watts smiled and said: "This is easy to explain. First of all, they need a role model and example. Second, they need a relatively good result, at least to be able to play in the European War. This way, when they transfer in the summer, they can attract more players. A lot of stars. Just like Arshavin who bought Hoffenheim during the summer transfer, if you are not in Hoffenheim, the possibility of Arshavin coming is very small, because you are here, Hoffenheim is changed be more appealing.”

"Well, what you said makes sense, but why did they choose me instead of Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi?" Li Huan was not overwhelmed by the money, and was still calmly thinking about this sudden incident. It is really impossible to say that he is not moved at all.Let’s not talk about the huge difference in annual salary, let’s talk about the signing fee, which is 1000 million pounds. This is a gift of 3000 million yuan to Li Huan. If Li Huan is not a traveler, it is easy to make money. That's enough for him to earn for five or six years.

Watts was overwhelmed by Li Huan's calmness, and pondered: "I think maybe Alphahim is out of difficulty. Kaka and Ronaldo, one is in AC Milan, the other is in Manchester United. These are the world's top giants. They transferred from such a big club to a small club like Manchester City. There is no doubt that everyone knows that they transfer for money. Although they can get more annual salary in Manchester City, it is obvious that their reputation will be affected to a certain extent. It will affect their commercial contract income. But you are different. Hoffenheim is a small club. Except for the dazzling triple crown last season, it is difficult to compare with Manchester City in any other place. So if you transfer to Manchester City, many people will think that this is a person going to a higher place.

In addition, your strength is by no means inferior to Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi. You can attack well and defend well. You can use it as a full-back or a full-back. Buying one player is equivalent to strengthening two positions at the same time. Alphahim is sure Willing to buy you. "

Li Huan pondered: "The joining of Saviola Arshavin and Tymoshchuk has greatly increased our strength. I feel that we have a chance to make some achievements in the Champions League. Joining for this little money is really not worth the candle. Have you considered it, Watts."

Watts said: "Li Huan, I have definitely considered the points you mentioned, but if we ignore the conditions proposed by Al Fahim, I am afraid that Kaka, Messi, Ronaldo and others will join in the future, we will There won’t be such a high salary, after all, if you go to Manchester City, it will also serve as an advertisement for Manchester City.”

Li Huan said slowly: "Watz, you can reject Alphahim. I will not transfer during the winter break. I may think about it next summer. If he is patient, he can wait for me, otherwise he will Stop here by yourself."

Watts hurriedly said: "Li Huan, Alphahim said that there is still room for negotiation on the weekly salary. As long as you are willing to join, everything is easy to talk about. I think it can almost reach the sky-high weekly salary of 30 pounds.
"A weekly salary of 30 pounds!!" Li Huan was shocked again, and he lost his voice in shock.

"Yes, but this is my personal guess. In fact, I also think it would be good to reach a weekly salary of 28 pounds." Watts said.

At this time, Robinho who joined Manchester City flashed in Li Huan's mind, and he couldn't help but look cold, and said: "30 pounds is indeed a lot, but I still can't agree."

Watts said emotionally when he heard this: "Lee, have you considered that you are 25 years old now? Generally speaking, after the age of 30, players start to go downhill. If you have been staying in Hoffenheim So, it is impossible for Hoffenheim to give you five years later, your best form will be gone, during this period you will earn less money."

Li Huan said: "Watz, I have made up my mind, you can tell Alphahim according to my words."

Seeing the resolute and decisive expression on Li Huan's face, Watts couldn't help but sighed, and said in a dispirited voice, "Okay."

Li Huan couldn't help laughing when he saw Watts' appearance, and said, "Watz, you don't have to be sorry. If I win the Triple Crown again this season, my net worth and annual salary will definitely continue to skyrocket. I will transfer at that time. It will not be worse than the conditions offered by Manchester City."

Watts has always admired Li Huan's foresight and foresight. Seeing that things were irreversible, he didn't bother Li Huan any more, and said, "I understand that you are in very good condition now. If you go further this season, your future will be hopeless." Limited edition. In addition, this year's European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year selection, if you can make it to the top three, your reputation and worth will definitely be higher than now."

Facing his agent, Li Huan certainly did not hide it like he did to reporters. He shook his head and said: "The top five will definitely be in, but the difficulty of the top three is not small. Last season, Manchester United won the Champions League. The top three Among them, Ronaldo will definitely occupy one. Spain won the European Cup for the first time in decades, and there must be a player from the Spanish national team among the top three. The remaining 28 players compete for the remaining one seats."

Watts said: "Manchester United and Spain should each occupy a place. The last place is about you, Messi, Kaka, and a few others. With your wonderful performance and crazy goals last season, let Messi It is normal to compare with Kaka. The European Ballon d'Or will definitely be among the top three."

Li Huan shook his head and pondered: "Not necessarily, Messi's personal ability is very strong and he often scores beautiful goals. He must be my biggest opponent. I just don't know who is overwhelming whom."

Watts sighed: "If this year is not the year of the European Cup, you will definitely be in the top three. I hope to win the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer next year, otherwise it will be the year of the World Cup next year, the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or It must be the world champion. The Chinese team has already been eliminated from the World Cup in South Africa. You don’t want to join the German team. Alas! What a pity. You didn’t take part in the team’s games, you said you didn’t get along with the head coach, and then the head coach was replaced, so you still didn’t take part in the games.”

Li Huan's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he said impatiently to Watts: "Forget it, forget it, don't mention that matter again. I have my own reasons and plans."

Watts knew that he accidentally talked about Li Huan's sadness, so he didn't dare to mention it again. After chatting with Li Huan for a while, he got up and left.

This is the 14th round of the Bundesliga. Hoffenheim has been winning since the third round defeat to Leverkusen. Before playing Cologne, they had won 10 consecutive victories in the league. Mu worked hard up and down to create a Bundesliga winning streak.

The biggest headache for Hoffenheim is not the players of Cologne, but the head coach of Cologne, Doum. Dom is a legend in the Bundesliga. As early as the end of the 80s, he led Cologne to challenge Bayern. King status, after moving to Leverkusen, it really became the focus of the Bundesliga and continued to wrestle with Bayern.Just when Daum was about to take charge of the national team, Bayern general manager Hoeness exposed his drug use, and Daum left German football for Turkey.Now that he has regained control of Cologne, he has beheaded Schalke consecutively this season and tied Bayern with his weak strength. People dare not underestimate his wrist.

After the start of the game, Cologne really caused a lot of trouble for Hoffenheim. Jeromel, the best player in the Portuguese Super League dug out by Daum last season, led the defense. Petit, a Portuguese midfielder, was the pinnacle of the midfield. The defense of the two in the backcourt was impeccable, which made Hoffenheim's offense helpless for a while.

The top scorer of Bundesliga Bundesliga last season, Novakovic and No. 10 Broich, who is known as the "Stadium Mozart", also posed a lot of threats to Hoffenheim. Both of them have relatively delicate skills. It made Hoffenheim's strong defensive players a little uncomfortable.

However, the strength of Hoffenheim cannot be completely replaced by Daum's tactics. After experiencing the experience of the Champions League, this Hoffenheim is full of confidence when facing the Bundesliga team, even if it cannot break the opponent's goal for a while, They were not in a hurry, and still calmly besieged the receiver.

In the 30th minute of the game, Hoffenheim's patience and personal ability were finally brought into full play. Arshavin's breakthrough in the frontcourt caused a foul, and Li Huan's free kick allowed Hoffenheim to open the scoring.This is Li Huan's 12th league goal this season, just behind Ibisevic, the team's top scorer.Li Huan scored a lot fewer goals this season than last season.In fact, this is not because Li Huan's attack power and personal ability have declined.But with the talented Arshavin and the skilled Saviola, Li Huan didn't need to participate more in frontcourt goals, and focused on defense, but even so, Li Huan's 12 goals Ball also ranked third in the league's scorer list.

After Hoffenheim scored a goal, the Cologne team was not in a hurry. Obviously they were not surprised by the 0-1 situation. The opponent is so strong, it is normal for them to fall behind. The tactical execution ability is very strong, and he still deals with Hoffenheim in an orderly manner.

Cologne is not in a hurry, and Hoffenheim's players are even more in a hurry, slowly looking for opportunities to continue to expand the score.

Not long after the start of the second half, Arshavin, who performed well in this game, cruising in the middle, suddenly passed a straight ball, Saviola scored a goal, and Hoffenheim extended the score to 2:0.

Now the Cologne team is a little flustered, because the difference between one goal and two goals is very big. Although Dom knows that the offense will cause problems for their defense, which performed well in this game, but now he really has nothing else to do. way.

The Cologne team, eager to equalize the score, was finally completely defeated by Hoffenheim's counterattack. Li Huan broke through Cologne's defender twice in a row and made a pass from the bottom. Arshavin laughed at Li Huan's kindness twice. Arshavin broke into the penalty area and made another goal five minutes later. The ball completed the hat-trick of the game.This is Arshavin's first hat-trick after coming to Hoffenheim.

With a five-goal lead, Hoffenheim has already started to withdraw troops, put on the bench, and replace the absolute main players Li Huan, Arshavin and others to prepare for the midweek Champions League match. Cologne also took advantage of the situation and began to counterattack. At the last moment, Novakvik Odd pulled a game back for them and changed the score from 5:0 to 5:1.

After the game, Daum was very dissatisfied with Hoffenheim's tactics of rushing the audience. He sarcastically said, "To be honest, Hoffenheim should not be the leader of the Bundesliga. Their players can run very well, but many All actions should be given a red card, because this is completely a martial arts action, which should be completely prohibited on the court, but the referee is a bit dereliction of duty!"

Rangnick hit back at Daum, "Our club has been adhering to clean football since the first day of its birth. We don't have any players who use dangerous moves on the pitch to complete the game and even benefit from the victory. The victory in Cologne is very important for the team. This is a very meaningful statement, another important step forward for us and hopefully this win will allow the players to continue winning when they go to Cyprus."

After Hoffenheim won 11 consecutive victories, they left their opponents further and further away. Now behind them is the sudden emergence of Wolfsburg. Werder Bremen and Bayern have fallen further behind, but Wolff After the 4:1 victory over Stuttgart in this round, Sburg was also pulled away by 8 points by Hoffenheim. Although Bayern also beat Cottbus 4:1, their points were 12 points less than Hoffenheim.

As the "Bild" commented after the game, "Leaving Bayern and coming to Hoffenheim, the Bundesliga is still thriving. The difference is that it has been replaced by another team. If the Bundesliga champion loses suspense early, the Bundesliga Not a good thing."

"Munich Evening News" called on the Bundesliga teams to stop Hoffenheim and save the Bundesliga.

The "Rheine Neckar Zeitung" denounced the behavior of the Munich reporters, "When Bayern dominated the Bundesliga, you only knew how to praise Bayern and didn't mention blocking Bayern. Now that Hoffenheim has risen, you are starting to be jealous .”

In fact, a reporter from Munich put forward the Hoffenheim threat theory very early on, but no matter what the reporter said, the Bundesliga champions are less suspenseful than when Bayern dominated.
