Chapter 69 Scouts gathered, the mastermind behind the scenes! (Please order first!!)
Time flies by like a flash, and it’s the end of January in a blink of an eye.
As the Bundesliga kick-off day on January 30th approaches, teams that flew to warm areas abroad for winter training are also returning one after another.
The most eye-catching thing is the preparation status of Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg, who are currently tied on the same points in the league standings and are about to start a brutal second round battle.
Bayern, after more than a month of winter break, has not returned to its peak state, but it is almost the same.
What makes Bayern fans most excited and reassured is that many big-name stars who missed the first half of the league due to injuries have almost returned en masse.
After returning from winter training in Qatar, they showed their strong strength in three warm-up matches.
As for Wolfsburg, with De Bruyne leading the frontcourt and Chu Zheng sitting in the backcourt, they also showed their strong offensive strength in the warm-up match, breaking the media's suspicion that they are strong offensively and weak defensively.
evaluate.
In the three warm-up games, Wolfsburg scored 3-0, 5-0 and 7-0. Whether it is the players or the overall state of the team, it is not lost to the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich.
Zhang Xizhe also played as expected in Wolfsburg's warm-up match and scored a goal.
As for Chu Zheng, it goes without saying.
After the winter break, his condition is as stable as ever.
The reason why Wolfsburg has been able to keep opponents clean in these three games is not because the opponents are incapable of threatening their goal, but because Chu Zheng is too good and has defied the opponent's attacks time and time again.
In terms of transfers, there are several Bundesliga focus transfers this winter.
Bayern, the Bundesliga giant, made few moves. After bringing in a talented young defender named Kimmich from Stuttgart, they loaned out Hojbjerg and Shaqiri.
Wolfsburg's side has caused some criticism from fans and media.
Because Alofs sold the aging forward Olic for 1.5 million euros, and then spent 32 million euros to buy forward Schürrle from Chelsea.
Wolfsburg fans are skeptical of the German compatriot who scored a hat-trick for the third time in Premier League history.
Because Schürrle's performance at Chelsea has continued to be sluggish this season, he was even reduced to a substitute player.
Besides that, there is Zhang Xizhe.
However, this 1.5 million euro transfer did not receive much attention from the German media, because the Volkswagen Group's thoughts are almost known to everyone in Wolfsburg.
Most other clubs have just made some repairs and hastily closed the winter transfer window.
January 30, 2015, 19:30 pm Berlin time.
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 fans' loud singing echoes inside and outside the stadium.
Outside the stadium, a large number of Bayern and Wolfsburg fans were queuing to enter.
These fans have tickets, but there are also a large number of Bayern and Wolfsburg fans who cannot enter the venue.
But they all came!
Cheer for the team!
Waiting for the final competition results!
"Dear viewers, I am right outside the Volkswagen Arena, and the atmosphere is extremely hot..."
Lin Fan stood in front of the camera and was having a pre-match connection with the live broadcast room of a domestic sports channel.
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 slowly approached, with four heavily armed policemen clearing the way.
After the fans saw it, they immediately burst into loud cheers and then crazily crowded towards both sides of the tunnel.
Had it not been for the obstruction of a large number of security personnel, a stampede would have occurred.
After a while, the bus slowly stopped, and then Wolfsburg players appeared one after another.
Looking at the camera, Chu Zheng, who was listening to music with headphones and wearing a cold-proof suit with the Wolfsburg logo, disappeared into the passage. In the live broadcast room, He Wei said: "Some time ago, the German Bild reported that Chu Zheng had obtained
Got a new contract.”
"This contract is said to have reached the average annual salary level of the Wolfsburg team, which is very generous. This shows how much the Wolfsburg club attaches great importance to Chu Zheng."
"I heard about it too, it seems to be 3.5 million euros!" Fan Zhiyi next to him answered and changed the subject, "It's a pity that Zhang Xizhe was not included in the squad for the competition today!"
Zhang Lu next to her smiled when she heard this, but said nothing and had nothing to say.
Because he was not optimistic about this transfer from the beginning, and it was purely a transfer driven by commercial interests.
Even without this reason, he is not optimistic about it.
Because the players in Wolfsburg's frontcourt attack group are too strong, Zhang Xizhe's hope of winning the competition is very slim.
Zhang Xizhe is certainly one of the top players in Chinese football right now.
But once you enter a league like the Bundesliga, it's like a top student from the countryside entering the top class of a provincial key middle school, and it instantly becomes commonplace.
At the same time, in the Volkswagen Arena, there were dozens of mysterious people who came with clear goals today.
These people have one thing in common, that is, they all carry pens and notebooks, or laptops.
Moreover, the seat they chose to watch the game was also the top seat in the stands where they could best see the game on the field.
Therefore, many scouts even sit together, but they guard against each other to prevent each other from discovering their targets.
However, there is never an airtight wall in football.
Every year, young players at all levels in Europe emerge with stunning debuts.
But under the keen eyes of these scouts for a long time, their true colors were finally revealed, and they were nothing more than meteors that passed by in a flash.
Chelsea scout Johansson is at the top of the South Stand.
But soon the guy discovered that there was a guy in the third row from the bottom doing the same thing as him.
"Damn it, Steve Rowley! Could it be that Arsenal is also eyeing Chu?" Two seconds later, looking at the man's somewhat familiar back and profile, Johnson exclaimed in shock.
Johnson didn't need to think twice to know that Steve Rowley must be eyeing Chu Zheng or De Bruyne.
Wolfsburg currently has these two players showing great potential.
Aware of the appearance of his competitors, Johansen immediately began searching the stands.
The stand he chose is the most suitable location at the Volkswagen Arena for scouts to inspect players.
So if there are scouts from other clubs, they must be in this stand.
In less than ten seconds, Johnson found the second scout, a man wearing a gray trench coat and silver-rimmed glasses.
"Holy shit!! Stephen Ajiwole!" Johnson cursed again when he saw the Manchester City scout.
Ten minutes later, with a look of shock on Johnson's face, he had already found eleven scouts.
Steve Walsh of Leicester City, Paul Mitchell of Tottenham, Jim Lawler of Manchester United, Mirabelli of Inter Milan, Moncada of AC Milan, Calafate of Real Madrid, etc.
.
In addition to these wealthy clubs, scouts from some powerful clubs with deep foundations also appeared.
Johnson was really shocked when he saw these colleagues.
After being a scout for so many years, this was the first time he saw scouts from so many famous clubs appear in the same game at the same time.
Johansson felt that Alexander had 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, this is a huge bad thing! That means more intense competition!
Because once the clubs behind these scouts get involved, it means Chelsea may have to pay a heavy price to bring Chu Zheng back to Stamford Bridge.
Although Johnson couldn't be sure whether these scouts came for Chu Zheng, his intuition told him that they couldn't be wrong.
The most scarce players in professional football are not forwards, but good midfielders and defenders.
Wolfsburg has exactly the players in these two positions.
Especially Chu Zheng.
During the winter break, Johansson had returned to London and met with Mourinho.
When submitting the tracking report, he also talked to Mourinho about Chu Zheng.
He and Mourinho have very similar views. They both believe that Chu Zheng has the potential and talent of a super midfielder that is very rare in football.
Therefore, if these scouts are not here for Chu Zheng, but all for De Bruyne, Johnson himself does not believe it.
Just as Johnson was sighing, at the top of the stands opposite him, a fat man wearing a hooded down jacket was holding a telescope to observe every move of Johnson and others.
"Oh my God! What a wonderful picture!!!" After a while, Mario put down the telescope.
That's right, today's big scout party was planned by this guy.
In addition to the purpose of bringing Chu Zheng to the attention of major clubs, he also had other plans.
After eating a few potato chips, Mario clapped his hands with a proud smile on his lips. Then he bent down to pick up the SLR camera placed on the seat and replaced it with a telephoto lens.
Then Mario took photos of Johnson, Steve Rowley, Stephen Ajiwole and others in the opposite stands one by one.
