Chapter No.17: Master of Fudge - Charlotte

"Trust me, Mark. We won't be a Championship team forever. Southampton has tremendous ambition and strength. We will eventually return to where we belong-the English Premier League!"

"Accompany the team to compete in the British Championship for up to three years, at least two years. At that time, you are experienced and mature, and then you will face a new challenge - the Premier League!"

"Believe me, you don't have much future in Germany. It is impossible for Borussia to leave a 29-year-old with rich experience and a 26-year-old with outstanding strength. Instead, use a 19-year-old teenager. , despite his outstanding talent, but the goalkeeper position is special after all."

"Besides, in Germany. The giants Bayern Munich already have Neuer, an excellent goalkeeper who has proven himself in the Bundesliga. Even Kahn asserted that Neuer may become the successor of the Lions after he has experienced grinding. Man! So, Mark, you see, it is basically impossible for you to join Bayern Munich." After four years of contact with German football, Charlotte knows that the dream of every German player is to join Bayern Munich, the "Hollywood" of the Bundesliga!
Sure enough, when Charlotte found herself mentioning Neuer and Bayern, Ter Stegen's face changed.

Immediately take advantage of the fire to rob, no, strike while the iron is hot.

"But what about England? Where is the stronghold of the Premier League, we Southampton will definitely become a Premier League team, I guarantee Southampton will definitely become a Premier League team within three years. But if you don't believe it, you think the time is too long It doesn't matter if it's far away, after all, the scouting system of the Premier League giants in England is definitely more developed than in Germany."

"What does England have? There are world-class giants Manchester United, traditional giants Liverpool, and Arsenal, which Lehmann once fought for, Chelsea, which has become a quasi-rich club, and the one that has just been bought by oil giants and is not short of money. Manchester City! These are opportunities, and the La Liga duo have also begun to pay attention to the Premier League in recent years, and they have also focused on the acquisition of players. Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Harvey Alonso, Carvalho , and Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas, Mascherano, Hleb, and Pique all joined the La Liga duo from the Premier League. Moreover, Modric, the midfielder core of Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League recently, also has Welsh winger Gareth Bale has been heavily linked with Real Madrid and even Arsenal midfielder Alexander Song has flirted with Barcelona."

"So, Mark. What do you have to stay in Germany? Silently waiting for an opportunity in Borussia? How many years will it take until Bailey and Jaymeiros retire or be sold? And what else is there in Germany besides Bayern Munich? You can't do it I joined Bayern Munich because they have Neuer!"

"But what about England? Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona!"

"I know you're no worse than Manuel Neuer! You just need the chance to exercise and I'm sure you'll be Neuer's number one shirt in Germany! So, Mark, go to England, that's it. It's an opportunity, trust me and trust yourself!"

"As for the language issue, you don't have to worry. You shouldn't have doubts about my German level now, right? And the club will also hire an English teacher for you. At the same time, we also have an excellent young man from Germany, Schkodran Moos. Taffey, he has been in England for two years and can help you integrate into the team!"

After Charlotte finished speaking a lot at once, she saw Ter Stegen bow her head in silence.Charlotte knew it was a good thing, at least he didn't reject it at the beginning like before.

Now it shows that Ter Stegen is seriously thinking about the meaning revealed in his previous words, and balancing the gains and losses and gaps between them.

Charlotte didn't bother the other party either. As a "human being", Charlotte knew that talking too much at this time would be counterproductive, so he took a sip of coffee—he was really thirsty after talking so much.

The latte, which was still steaming hot before, was cold now, but Charlotte still took a few sips as if she was enjoying the delicious food.

After a long time, Ter Stegen raised his head and looked at Charlotte who was drinking a latte for a while, feeling a little drummed for the young head coach.

But Ter Stegen, who is mature beyond this age group, still made his own choice: "I just heard some words from Mr. Charlotte. I think it must not be a season for Mr. Charlotte to pay attention to me. I am very satisfied with this." Thank you. However, you must also know that I have joined Borussia Mönchengladbach's football school since I was four years old, and I have been training at Borussia Mönchengladbach for 15 years this year. So I don't want to feel sorry for this club I love so much, If the club agrees to my transfer, I have no objection!"

As soon as Charlotte heard this, she knew that she was sure of everything, and immediately replied with affirmation: "We respect Borussia Mönchengladbach very much, so we will provide a transfer email to the other party. Don't worry about this, we have never let you know. Tradition for players to cooperate with transfers!"

Charlotte was very happy with this meeting, and he made decisive progress.

After this conversation is over, the rest of the transfer details are handed over to the club staff.Although the head coach of the English club has a lot of power, Charlotte thinks that she only needs to solve the general and most decisive problems. As for some details, professional people should come. After all, you can’t steal other people’s jobs, right?

In addition, he has to consider how to persuade the club's top management to spend a huge amount of money on a young man who is only 19 years old and has no obvious reputation.

Of course, in his eyes, there is only one person in the upper echelon of the club, and that is the lovely fat lady—Miss Katerina Liebherr.

After leaving Borussia Mönchengladbach, Charlotte went to Munich, where he has his next goal!
When Southampton passed an offer of 600 million euros to the office of Borussia Mönchengladbach's chairman, the German directly rejected the offer and said that the team would not sell its hopeful star. of.

star of hope?Not to mention other things, just based on Borussia Borussia's scouting power, this so-called star of hope is just a small player who can be qualified for the first team rotation, right?
So soon Southampton made a second offer at the behest of Charlotte, and this time the offer seemed very sincere.

Down payment of 1000 million euros, 300 million euros in one-year installments.

Now Borussia's chairman did not hesitate at all, and directly and decisively stated that Southampton can discuss contracts with the players.If there is nothing wrong with the player himself, Marc-Andre ter Stegen will be a player for the English sub-league team Southampton at the beginning of the new season.

And the staff is also ruthless. When replying to the email, they also used the words "England's sub-division league" in bold font and enlarged the title.

There is no doubt that Borussia is very satisfied with the price, so remind Southampton that you are not a top league team, and the players themselves do not necessarily want to go, so you have to work hard and do all kinds of work
In fact, Borussia was too concerned. When Borussia's chairman's office agreed, Ter Stegen signed his name on the contract provided by Southampton in less than three hours.

On the other hand, Borussia Mönchengladbach scolded Southampton, the "King Son", for spending so much money to acquire a 19-year-old young man, and he was still the goalkeeper.Everyone knows that the goalkeeper position is very special and requires a lot of experience, and this is what the 19-year-old Ter Stegen lacks fatally.Of course, Borussia Mönchengladbach still likes this kind of "Kaizi" very much, and he can't wait for more.
