Chapter 661: Three In, Two Out

Back in Munich, Seberna is already busy.

In two days, the team will start the training camp for the new season and the players will also start gathering.

Gao Han drove his Audi Q7 directly into the internal parking lot and went to the administrative office. The core managers of Bayern Munich who had known his itinerary were already sitting in the conference room waiting for him.

As soon as we entered the door, everyone greeted each other politely and greeted each other politely.

The triple-winning champion of last season made everyone full of confidence in the team's journey in the new season, and they all hope that the team can continue to achieve satisfactory results under Gao Han's leadership.

It is best to be able to win the triple crown like when he was at Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, especially the Champions League.

This not only allows Bayern Munich to return to the ranks of European giants, but also injects vitality into the sluggish Bundesliga. For head coach Gao Hanlai, it is also another peak of his career.

In the history of the Champions League, no one has been able to lead three different teams to the Champions League championship so far.

"K, everyone is here, let's have a meeting."

With Chairman Ruménig greeting, everyone started the first high-level meeting of the new season.

Hones took the lead in speaking and summarized the team's performance and operating conditions last season.

There is no need for results. Three heavy championships are a glory that Bayern Munich has not seen in recent years. Fans are overwhelmed with satisfaction, and media reporters also praised Bayern Munich.

It is worth mentioning that in last year's media selection, Bayern Munich lost to Werder Bremen and lost the most popular club award among German fans. However, after the end of last season, the Bundesliga giants won the grand prize with an overwhelming advantage and became the most popular team for German fans.

In his speech, Heness expressed his gratitude to head coach Gao Han on behalf of the club, hoping that he could lead the team to continue to work hard.

In the second half of his speech, Heness also mentioned the team's goals for the new season and its current financial situation.

Unlike other European leagues, Bayern Munich attaches great importance to financial health and burned a lot of money last season, but the money accumulated in previous years, and the increase in salary brought by the signings has brought considerable pressure to the club's finances, so Bayern Munich really can't get much money to operate the transfer this summer.

But even so, Heness still gave 30 million euros, still the team with the highest transfer budget in the Bundesliga.

After introducing the situation of Bayern Munich, Heness also mentioned the transfer situation of the Bundesliga in the new season.

"There are two teams we have to pay close attention to, Wolfsburg and Hamburg."

Hones said seriously.

"As early as last summer, Wolfsburg invested a lot of money in the transfer market. Although the team's performance at the beginning was not satisfactory, it performed well in the second half and finally won the fifth place in the league. This is also the best league ranking in Wolfsburg's history."

"So, this summer, Wolfsburg continues to increase its investment, and according to their transfer budget once again exceeds 50 million euros. According to my speculation, this team is likely to become our number one rival in the new season."

Gao Han thought about it. Wolfsburg invested so much in two consecutive seasons, so is there no financial problem?

You should know that the important reason why Bayern Munich was able to invest over 100 million last season is due to the accumulation in the past few years, and the Bundesliga giants are the most capable team in Europe, so it is already very risky to dare to do this.

But what is Wolfsburg?

It is probably inseparable from Volkswagen behind Wolfburg.

"The other team that deserves our vigilance is Hamburg."

"We all know that Hamburg has always been known as the King of the North and is on par with our King of the South, so the game between us is also called the North-South Derby. However, Hamburg has been in a bad situation in recent years and has fluctuated performances. Last year, it won fourth place in the league and missed the Champions League, so they have increased their investment this summer."

"However, Hamburg's main soul Van der Fate is now involved with Real Madrid, and the defense leader Kompany has a good relationship with the club, so the situation of this team is still relatively unstable."

"There is another team, and the newly promoted Hoffenheim must also pay attention to it. They have introduced midfielder Gustavo from Corinthian, Baker from Stuttgart, and Wellington from Brazil International. The overall strength has been greatly improved and worthy of our hearts."

Since the end of last season, Hoffenheim qualified for the Bundesliga, this team from the countryside has always been the focus of German fans and media attention, but their signings have always been low-key and no specific information has been disclosed to the outside world.

But everyone knows that this team has never been willing to be ordinary.

From Heness's introduction, Gao Han learned that the investment in the entire Bundesliga this summer is not large, and compared with last year, it is almost half cut, which has a lot to do with Bayern Munich's tightening of its monetary base.

Everyone knows that the professional league is pyramid-shaped.

Taking the Bundesliga as an example, Bayern Munich is the team standing at the top of the pyramid and then goes down layer by layer.

In the transfer market, the more you go to the top of the pyramid, the stronger your purchasing power is. But the problem is that if the top teams are tightening their money, then the other teams below will not be able to pay for it.

The reason is very simple, only when you get out can you get in.

But this also has a lot to do with the fact that the Bundesliga teams failed to make big signings last year.

For example, after Werder Bremen sold Klose, they used the money to buy Klose to introduce Alberto, the most valuable player in the club's history. As a result, this player is a long-term patient and fought with his teammates twice in half a year after joining the team. By the winter break, Werder Bremen could no longer help and directly swept him out.

The same situation is Stuttgart. They bought Marika at the highest price ever, but the result is also a parallel product.

It is precisely because of the failure cases that the Bundesliga teams are more cautious this summer.

After Bayern Munich won the triple crown last season, Gao Han stated when planning for the club that the team will no longer make big signings, but will only add to some details.

Before he finished watching the European Cup and was going to return to China for vacation, he once again made a statement to the management that both Van Bomel and Podolski could be sold, and he only gave a list of three signings.

Therefore, Heness followed closely and focused on the club's transfer operation.

"After this period of negotiations, we reached an agreement with C Milan. Van Bomer will transfer to C Milan for 10 million euros. This transaction has also been unanimously recognized by the management and coaching staff."

When everyone heard this, they turned to Gao Han.

Gao Han always sat on the seat, nodded slightly, indicating that he had indeed received his approval.

"In addition, I'm sorry to tell everyone that Podolski is determined to leave the team. He cannot accept his arrangement to serve as a substitute in the club. We have to contact other teams when we cannot persuade him to change our minds. In the end, Arsenal got our players for 20 million pounds."

Everyone did not have much objection to this transfer.

Podolski was not valued in the team, which was not caused by Gao Han's appointment. On the contrary, during the coaching period of Magath and Heathfield, he was no longer valued in the face of his coaching.

But with his outstanding performance in the European Cup, the players were not satisfied with the role of substitute and publicly announced that they would leave the team. From the club's standpoint, the best way is to take advantage of the high price.

Bayern Munich made a profit of about 35 million euros after two sales.

All the core managers present are all the core managers, and they understand the current situation of the team. If they sell Van Bomel and Podolski, they will definitely need to strengthen the signings, so there is definitely something to say about Heness.

Sure enough, Heness quickly introduced the team's signings.

"Just two days ago, we just reached an agreement with Preskov in the Polish League Two, and for a price of 500,000 euros, we introduced the top scorer in the Polish League Two last season, the 20-year-old Robert Lewandowski."

"This player was unanimously recognized by our scouts, and head coach Mr. Gao Han also strongly recommended it. The club finally successfully introduced this player among many domestic competitors in Poland through Jorge Mendes' relationship and channels."

"We have reason to believe that Lewandowski's arrival can fill the vacancy left by Podolski's departure."

When everyone in the conference room heard this, they couldn't help but talk.

A Golden Boot winner in the Polish League Two, and even the name of the team he plays for, few people can remember that such an unknown man can replace Podolsky?

But just as everyone was talking, Gao Han just said softly, "Thank you very much for the trust of the management. I firmly believe that he will become an important member of our forward line."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood that this player was appointed by Gao Han.

With Gao Han’s reputation in his past, no one would doubt his judgment.

However, although everyone was not suspicious, they were even more curious. What ability does this Lewandowsky have to make Gao Han value it so much? Can he really replace Podolsky?

"In addition to Lewandowski, we also spent 500,000 euros to introduce a nineteen-year-old player, Marco Reus, from the Red and White Allen near Dortmund. He performed well in his previous German Cup matches. Mr. Gao Han believes he will be an important part of the team."

When everyone heard this, they turned to look at Gao Han, who nodded again to show their affirmation.

Until now, he still has a very deep impression of the thin man.

"As for the midfield, we have reached a consensus with Stuttgart. Sami Khdira will transfer to our Bayern Munich for 4 million euros. The players have also reached an agreement with us on personal treatment, which will be our last signing this summer."

"However, Khedira encountered some trouble during the physical examination when joining the franchise. He was seriously injured three years ago and almost retired. Last summer, he also entered the national team roster because of his outstanding performance in Stuttgart, but his right foot was absent. Therefore, our team doctor, Mr. Walfat, will conduct a more detailed test on him, and the detailed report will be given in the past two days."

"But no matter what, it will not affect Khedira's joining our team."

He sold two players and introduced three players. There is no doubt that Gao Han's youth is still advancing.

After last season, no one will doubt Gao Han's coaching ability and strategy anymore.

Now, they are more looking forward to Bayern Munich's journey in the new season and whether these new players can bring satisfactory performance.

After Heness finished speaking, Ruménig looked at everyone and then said, "Let's go to the last issue, and everyone discusses the matter of Real Madrid's offer of 50 million euros and wanting to introduce Aguero."

The amount of this transfer is amazing and it is no longer something Rummenigge or Heness can decide.
