Green Journey

Chapter 69 Scouts gather, behind the scenes! (Ask for the first order!!)

Time flies like a white horse, and it is the end of January in a blink of an eye.

As the opening day of the Bundesliga on January 1 draws closer, teams that have flown to warm regions abroad for winter training have also returned.

The most eye-catching thing is the current state of preparation for Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg, who are currently on the same score in the league standings and are about to start a tragic second-round fight.

On Bayern's side, after more than a month of winter break, although the state has not returned to its peak state, it is already almost the same.

What makes Bayern fans most excited and relieved is that many big-name stars who missed the first half of the league due to injuries have almost returned collectively.

After returning from winter training in Qatar, they showed great strength in three warm-up matches.

As for Wolfsburg, with De Bruyne leading the frontcourt and Chu Zheng sitting in the backcourt, they also demonstrated their strong offensive strength in the warm-up match, breaking the media's perception of their strong offense and weak defense in one fell swoop. evaluate.

In the three warm-up matches, Wolfsburg scored 3-0, 5-0 and 7-0. Whether it is the players or the overall state of the team, they will not lose to the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich at all.

Zhang Xizhe also played as he wished in Wolfsburg's warm-up match and scored a goal.

As for Chu Zheng, it goes without saying.

After the winter break, his state is as stable as ever.

The reason why Wolfsburg was able to keep their opponents clean in these three games was not because the opponents were unable to threaten their goals, but because Chu Zheng was too good to defuse the opponent's attacks time and time again.

In terms of transfers, there are also several focus transfers in the Bundesliga this winter window.

The Bundesliga giants Bayern did not move much. After introducing a young and talented defender named Kimmich from Stuttgart, they loaned out Hojbil and Shaqiri in the team and did not move.

Wolfsburg's side has caused some criticism from fans and the media.

Because Allofs sold the old striker Olic for 150 million, and then spent 3200 million euros to buy striker Schurrle from Chelsea.

Wolfsburg fans are skeptical of the third German compatriot to score a hat-trick in Premier League history.

Because Schurrle's performance at Chelsea continued to be sluggish this season, he was even reduced to a substitute player at one point.

Besides that, it's Zhang Xizhe.

But this transfer of 150 million euros has not received much attention from the German media, because Volkswagen Group's thoughts are almost well known in Wolfsburg.

Most of the other clubs are also tinkering and hastily closed the winter transfer window.

2015年1月30日，柏林时间晚19点30分。

At this time, there is still a full hour before the opening game of the second half of the Bundesliga, but the Volkswagen Arena, Wolfsburg's home stadium, is already overcrowded, and the loud and clear singing of the fans echoed inside and outside the stadium.

Outside the stadium, a large number of Bayern and Wolfsburg fans are queuing up to enter.

These fans have tickets. In addition, there are a large number of Bayern and Wolfsburg fans who cannot enter the stadium.

But here they are!

Cheer for the team!
Waiting for the final game result!

"Friends in the audience, I'm outside the Volkswagen Arena right now, and the atmosphere at the scene is extremely hot..."

Lin Fan was standing in front of the camera, and was connecting with the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel before the game.

Next to him is the player entryway.

"coming!!"

"Wolfsburg and Bayern are coming!"

Not long after, Bayern's red bus and Wolfsburg's green bus came slowly, and the first four heavily armed policemen cleared the way.

After the fans saw it, there were bursts of violent shouts, and then frantically squeezed towards both sides of the aisle.

If it were not for the blocking of a large number of security personnel, a stampede would have happened.

After a while, the bus stopped slowly, and then Wolfsburg players appeared one after another.

Seeing Chu Zheng wearing earphones listening to music in the camera and wearing winter clothes with the Wolfsburg logo disappearing into the passage, He Wei said in the live broadcast room: "Some time ago, the German Bild reported that Chu Zheng had obtained signed a new contract."

"This contract is said to have reached the average annual salary of the Wolfsburg team, which is very generous. This shows how much the Wolfsburg club attaches importance to Chu Zheng."

"I've heard that too, it seems to be 350 million euros!" Fan Zhiyi next to him answered, and then changed the subject, "It's a pity that Zhang Xizhe didn't enter the squad for the competition today!"

Zhang Lu next to him smiled and said nothing, and had nothing to say.

Because he was not optimistic about this transfer from the very beginning, it was purely a transfer driven by commercial interests.

Even if there is no such reason, he is not optimistic.

Because the players in Wolfsburg's frontcourt attack group are too strong, Zhang Xizhe's hope of winning the competition is very slim.

Of course Zhang Xizhe is one of the top players in Chinese football right now.

But once you go to a league like the Bundesliga, it's like the top students from the countryside entering the top class of a provincial key middle school, and it becomes commonplace in an instant.

At the same time, in the Volkswagen Arena, dozens of mysterious people came with clear goals today.

These people have one thing in common, that is, they all carry pens and notebooks, or laptops.

And the viewing position they chose is also the top seat of the stands where they can best see the game on the field.

Therefore, many scouts even sat together, but guarded against each other, preventing each other from discovering their targets.

However, there has never been an impenetrable wall in football.

Every year, European leagues at all levels will emerge with amazing debut young players.

But under the long-term scouting of these scouts, they finally revealed their true colors, and they were just a fleeting meteor.

Chelsea scout Johansen is at the top of the South Stand.

But soon the guy found out that there was a guy in the third row from the bottom next to him doing the same thing as him.

"Damn it, Steve Rowley! Could it be that Arsenal are also eyeing Chu?" Two seconds later, seeing the somewhat familiar back and profile of the man, Johansen, who was stunned, exclaimed.

Johnson didn't need to think about it to know that Steve Rowley must be eyeing Chu Zheng, or De Bruyne.

Wolfsburg is currently showing super potential in these two players.

Aware of the presence of competitors, Johansen immediately searched the stands.

The stand he chose was the most suitable location for scouts to inspect players at the Volkswagen Stadium.

So if there are scouts from other clubs, they must also be in this stand.

In less than ten seconds, Johansen found the second scout, a man in a gray trench coat and silver-rimmed glasses.

"Holy shit!! Stephen Ajwale!" Seeing Manchester City's scouts, Johansen swears again.

Ten minutes later, Johansen had a look of shock on his face. As far as he has found, there are already eleven scouts.

Leicester City's Steve Walsh, Tottenham's Paul Mitchell, Manchester United's Jim Lawler, Inter Milan's Mirabelli, AC Milan's Moncada, Real Madrid's Calafate and more .

In addition to these giant clubs, scouts from some powerful clubs with deep foundations also appeared.

Seeing the figures of these colleagues, Johansen was really shocked.

He has been a scout for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen so many scouts from famous clubs appear in the same game at the same time.

Johansen felt Alexander, he was a bit of a headache for Mourinho.

If a player gets the attention of so many scouts at the same time, it is a great thing for the player, which means more choices!

But for the club, it is a big bad thing!That means more competition!

Because once the clubs behind these scouts get involved, it means that Chelsea may have to pay a high price to bring Chu Zheng back to Stamford Bridge.

Although Johnson couldn't be sure whether these scouts came for Chu Zheng, his instinct told him that there should be no mistake.

The most scarce players in professional football are not strikers, but good midfielders and defenders.

And Wolfsburg has players in these two positions.

Especially Chu Zheng.

During the winter break, Johnson has returned to London and met with Mourinho.

When submitting the tracking report, he also talked about Chu Zheng with Mourinho.

He and Mourinho's views are very consistent, and both believe that Chu Zheng has the potential and talent of a very rare super midfielder in football.

So if it is said that these scouts are not for Chu Zheng, but all for De Bruyne, Johansen himself does not believe it.

Just when Johnson was sighing, at the top of the stand opposite him, a fat man in a hooded down jacket was holding up a telescope to observe every move of Johnson and others.

"I buy Karma! What a wonderful picture!!!" After a while, Mario put down the binoculars.

That's right, today's big scouting party was planned by this guy.

He played such a trick, besides achieving the goal of sending Chu Zheng into the sight of the major clubs, he also had other plans.

Kacha Kacha ate a few potato chips, Mario clapped his hands, with a smug smile on his lips, then bent down to pick up the SLR camera on the seat, and put on a telephoto lens.

Then Mario took photos of Johansen, Steve Raleigh, Stephen Ajwale and others in the opposite stand.
