"That's it."

Rist explained his thoughts to Watzke and Zork in detail, and finally said: "The competitiveness of the Bundesliga is far less than that of the Premier League. As long as there is an excellent coach and a group of excellent players, it is easy. Get a place in the Champions League. Even if those players are not big signings, but some young talents, they can still get a place in the Champions League. Don't always think about spending a lot of money to enter the Champions League. Still think about how to enter the Champions League with a group of young players."

"Rist, that's easy for you to say."

"I didn't blow it out. Look at Eindhoven for yourself, what famous stars are there in their club. The most famous player in their club is the old Cocu. But it is because of a group of young players in their 20s. Champions League final. Of course, Dortmund does not have such high requirements. Use one year to stabilize the club, another year to train the team, get the Champions League place in the third year, and start financial improvement in the fourth year. Isn’t this a rough idea? And this is the lowest goal. If you have an excellent head coach, you can stabilize the team in one year, get the Champions League place in the second year, and improve the club's finances in the third year. Maybe even You can get the Champions League place in the first year. It is much more reliable than you want to invest in the Champions League."

Rist was unrestrained.Rist threw 4000 million euros into Dortmund alone, and this time he borrowed more than 5000 million euros again.With so much money, Rist could not tolerate any problems.Although Dortmund has risen historically, who knows what will happen.Even in history.Watzke and Zorke have been continuing the original policy since the beginning, and they were only one step away from bankruptcy in 06 and 07.

If Dortmund really goes bankrupt, Rist's tens of millions will be in vain by then.Once Dortmund goes bankrupt, the bank will be the first to collect debts, and private creditors like Riester will be the last.Tens of millions of euros is not a small amount for Riester.

"Rist, it's easy for you to say. Who doesn't know that there are many talented players in Eindhoven, and even more talented players have burst out in recent years. But you should know that talented players are hard to come by, and where can so many talented players gather. "

"Hehe. Hans, Michelle, it's certainly not easy for other people. But since I have me, don't say you can't find talented players. Instead, you can pick and choose."

Rist is confident.The current Rist is not to be said to be a historical memory.Even if there is no memory, there are many talented players in the hands of Rist and Rister's partners.Helping a club like Dortmund is a no-brainer.

"And, Hans. Dortmund has no shortage of good players right now. Weidenfeller, Mertesacker, Boulahrouz, Dede, Evan Nielsen, Kell, Klinger, Ricken, Modric , Odon Kerr. Which one of them is not strong. As long as a few good players are brought in. It is not necessary to bring in players with high prices, but to be paired with some talented players. Plus as long as there is an excellent head coach, Dortmund is very easy You can get out of the current quagmire. Shaheen. Isn’t Shaheen the talented player you Dortmund cultivated. You don’t need to take the road of spending a lot of money at all, and Dortmund now has no capital to take this path.”

Watzke and Zork nodded.The three of them have been discussing for more than four hours, and Rist admires these two people.The two of them were very serious about their work, and they didn't have any seriousness just because Rist refuted their plan.On the contrary, they listened carefully to what Rist said, and then made various revisions.

Rist told them both what he thought.The three of them discussed the new plan together for several hours, which can be regarded as relatively complete.But in the end, Rist couldn't help but emphasize it to them.

"Rist, I understand what you mean. What you said is indeed very good, but there must be a prerequisite for this. You must have an excellent coach. But choosing a coach is itself a risk."

"Yes, it's an adventure."

Lister agrees.Although what Rist said sounds good, Dortmund needs an excellent head coach if they want to get out of the predicament as Rist said.Just like why the Arsenal board dared to build a new stadium, which is almost the same as the club's assets.It is because they fully believe in Wenger's strength and believe that Wenger has the ability to lead Arsenal through difficult times.

"Hans, Michel, what do you think of Mainz's Klopp?"

"Is it too young?"

Watzke didn't think Klopp was weak, but worried about his age.Jurgen Klopp has no achievements in his player career, and his career has been spent in low-level leagues.And he spent his career in Mainz, so he became the head coach of Mainz after retiring.

Klopp is only 38 years old this year. He has been a head coach since he was 34 years old, and he has been a head coach for four years now.Although he has only been a head coach for four years, Klopp's results are still quite good.It can even be said that it is very good in German football.

Mainz itself is not a very good club. Since the establishment of the Bundesliga, Mainz has not played in the Bundesliga, and has always been in the low-level leagues.However, Klopp had just become the head coach of Mainz in his first season, and Mainz was almost promoted, only one point away from the No.2 and No.3 of the Bundesliga at the time.Just one step away from an upgrade.

In the 02-03 season, Mainz went a step further, and even entered the Bundesliga with one foot.At that time, Mainz was only one goal difference away, otherwise they would have entered the Bundesliga.

Until the 0304 season, Mainz had no regrets and was finally promoted to the Bundesliga.The Bundesliga has been established for half a century, and Mainz entered the Bundesliga for the first time under the leadership of the 36-year-old Klopp.It was this kind of performance that made Klopp a young coach in German football.And last season Mainz performed very well in the Bundesliga.Got No.11 in the Bundesliga.

Qualified for the UEFA Cup through the "Fair Play List".In the qualifying round, Mainz defeated Armenia's Mika and Iceland's Keflavik to enter the UEFA Cup.Mainz has never played in the Bundesliga in history, but in the hands of Klopp, it is not only promoted to the Bundesliga, but can even play in the UEFA Cup, which simply created a new history for Mainz.

By this year, Klopp has become even more famous.Because Klopp started working as a football commentator on German TV, his professional ability when commenting has been affirmed by many people.With his achievements in Mainz in the past two years and his reputation as a TV commentator, he is already a very well-known young coach in German football.At present, there are not a few Bundesliga clubs interested in him in German football, but many strong teams are still very worried about his age.So Klopp stayed in Mainz.

"Young? Haven't you discovered that young coaches in European football are the general trend now. Ancelotti became the head coach of Juventus at the age of 40, Benitez won the Champions League at the age of 40, Mourinho He won the treble at the age of 40, and Mancini won the Coppa Italia in Florence at the age of 35. As long as the club firmly supports him, Klopp will definitely not have any problems. If he hadn't already had I got an agent. I really want to work with him. I believe that in the future he will be a leading figure in the German coaching circle."

"Rist, we need to think carefully."

"Okay. Hans, you must not have any worries. I believe that no one in the player network can match me. I have a lot of talented players. No matter what type of players you want in Dortmund. I can give them you."

…………

"Marco. Mainz is not what I imagined. It should be said that the German club is completely different from what I have seen in other leagues. Very professional."

Rist sighed while looking at the Mainz training ground.A small club like Mainz, which has just played in the Bundesliga for half a century, is very professional in terms of hardware conditions.Even the English football, which is developing rapidly now, is not as good as the German football clubs in this respect.

"Yes. German clubs have strict regulations in this regard."

It was Marko Kosick who answered Rist.Although this person can't be said to be the top figure in German football.But he is also a well-connected figure.He used to be the head of Nike's German branch.

Germany is home to the world's top sports brands such as Adidas and Puma, and Nike is the last brand to enter Germany.But Nike is not bad in Germany at present. Marko Kosicke has managed his own network in German football by virtue of his status as a senior Nike executive.And he is now the agent of Mainz coach Klopp.

They can know that there is another story about Kosick's ability to become Klopp's agent.That is, Klopp just led Mainz into the Bundesliga last year, and brought his lawyer to Nike.He wanted Nike to sponsor him, which was an arrogant request.Because Klopp was just a young marshal at the time, he was not qualified for Nike sponsorship at all.Nike sponsors either talented new stars or established stars.Even if you really want to sponsor the head coach, it is still a coach of the level of Mourinho and Benitez.In German football, it should be coaches like Hitzfeld and Heynckes.

But it was precisely because of this incident that Kosick, the head of Nike's German branch at the time, knew Klopp, and Kosick was very interested in Klopp.The last two people met, and Kosick became Klopp's professional agent.

"What is Coach Klopp doing there?"

Rist looked around the training ground and saw Klopp and some other managers sitting there watching the game below.But Rist found that the following game was not a game of the Mainz first team, because the players below were all very young players.

"A young player came to Mainz today to try out. I heard that he is still a player of the US National Junior Team. He seems to be a central defender. What's his name? I can't remember the name, but Jurgen seems to appreciate it very much. This is not an in-person inspection."

"U.S. junior team? Which one?"

"I am not sure as well."

Kosick and Rist also knew each other.As the biggest talent in Dortmund's youth academy, Shaheen started playing for Dortmund last season at the age of 16.Let Nike fancy at that time and prepare to cooperate with him.Shaheen's agent is Rist's good friend Sabri, so Rist also participated in that negotiation and got to know Kosicke.Unexpectedly, in less than a year, Kosick left Nike and became Klopp's agent.

Kosick was even more surprised when he received a call from Rist this time.After all, Rist and Kosick are just acquainted, and have no special friendship.But when he heard Rist convey Dortmund's attitude, he was very happy.

The reason why he gave up his job at the top of Nike and became an agent for Klopp is to be optimistic about his future.But Mainz is a small club with no prospects for development.Now that Dortmund is coming, Kosick thinks this is a good opportunity for Klopp.

"A player from the U.S. junior team?"

Rist carefully watched the youth team's game, and slowly set his sights on one of the central defenders.Although this central defender is very immature, his strength is very good.And the more Rist looked at this kid, the more familiar he became. Isn't this the Subotic who became popular in Dortmund later?

Could it be him?It would be great if it was him.Came here today and picked up a player.hehe. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
