Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 44: The Olive Branch of the Bundesliga Giants
Zorc's remarks are not aimless, but based on the club's past performance. As one of the five major league clubs in the Bundesliga, they have the best fan culture in the world.

The transfer to Dortmund means that Wang Po not only has a substantial increase in salary, but also has a completely higher level of exposure, which is not comparable to second-tier leagues like the Portuguese Super League.

"Super giants, I think it is your ultimate dream. Dortmund is definitely your best springboard."

Zorke's words fell to the ground, and everyone present laughed silently.

In private, the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich has been nicknamed the "Bundesliga Excavator" by fans. It is difficult for Bundesliga players to refuse the invitation of a super giant like Nan Dawang.

There has always been a stalk among the fans that Barcelona's youth training is the La Masia youth training camp, Bayern Munich's youth training is the entire Bundesliga, and Real Madrid's youth training is the whole world.

Tom said sincerely, "Per, I, including the entire club executive, fully respect your opinion."

"Tom, we are old friends, can you tell me the truth, whether the club has encountered any difficulties, otherwise, I can't think of any reason to sit at the negotiating table today." The experienced Hamburg asked straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Tom looked embarrassed, hesitated and said, "Yes, I must tell you the truth, the club's financial situation is not good, and the transfer fee of 4000 million euros can relieve the pressure in this regard."

"Does the club really need this money?" Hamburg then asked.

Tom nodded, took a deep breath and said, "However, we still prefer to keep the players. It's just that the contract offered by Dortmund is very sincere, and we don't have the ability to match it. Therefore, we have reached a consensus. As long as the players agree, this deal can be finalized."

Yes, 180 million euros and 300 million euros, the difference in annual salary between the two contracts is nearly doubled. This is not a small number, and emotional cards cannot make up for the huge gap between the two contracts.

The financially troubled Benfica team has prepared for the worst, even though everyone understands that after losing Wang Po, it will be difficult to defend the championship with the team's state this year, and they have to do so.

They fully respect the athletes of their teams.

The topic was heavy, and Wang Po fell into silence. Tom and Zorke, who were opposite, were quietly waiting for the answer to be revealed.

Stay or transfer?

A high annual salary and a higher platform are temptations that players cannot refuse.

The choice is difficult. After thinking for a long time, Wang Po made a decision. "To be honest, this choice is difficult. The two contracts make me very embarrassed. First of all, I want to say sorry. If I hurt the two or the club because of the decision, I am very sorry. Thank you for thinking of me so much."

"Benfica Club can be said to be the starting point of my career. Here I won the first league title, the first cup title, the first UEFA Champions League appearance, and the first quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. Unfortunately, due to injuries, I did not play in the subsequent games. If I leave the club like this, I will regret it for life."

"So, I'm sorry, Mr. Zorc, and thank Dortmund for your appreciation. Your contract is also very sincere. I can feel that, but more importantly, Benfica is like my home. When I was frustrated and couldn't even play, it was Benfica. It was Mr. Tom who gave me such an opportunity. When I was seriously injured, it was the coach, teammates, and fans who gave me encouragement and support, allowing me to return to the game. It can be said that without Benfica, I would not be where I am today. , the club is in a bad situation and my departure will only bring more losses, I can't do this."

Tom, who was on the opposite side, had tears in his eyes, and couldn't help getting up and giving Wang Po a big and emotional hug.

"I am a grateful person. I have also said that I am willing to give my all to the Benfica team. Even if I have to leave in the future, I must leave something for the club and the fans..."

Zorc exhaled, pinched his eyes tiredly, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really a pity that I didn't take you away. In fact, before I came, I was very confident, but your sincerity touched me. You are a pure football player. I have to say it again, Per, I really appreciate you, I like you, and I hope you can join my team one day. How about it?"

"Of course, I am very willing to play for Borussia Dortmund, but unfortunately, not now." Wang Po replied.

Zorke pursed his lips and said, "OK, is this a gentleman's agreement between us?"

"Of course, if there is a transfer, I will give priority to Borussia Dortmund. This is my promise."

After speaking, under the witness of Tom, Wang Po and Zorke high-fived and swore.

"I will wait for you to join us at the Weiss Stadium, I hope this day will not be too long." Finally, Zorc added.

"Is the home of the No. [-] devil in football? Of course, that's where I'm looking forward to very much."

……

Wang Po's transfer rumors intensified in the media.

Rumors are flying all over the sky, and there is even news that Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and other super-rich clubs have also joined the competition.

Benfica fans are in pain. Wang Po's existence is too important to the team, and they cannot accept his departure.

When the Benfica team announced on the official website that Wang Po, the No. 80 player of the team, had signed a five-year contract worth 5 million euros, the Benfica fans fell into a carnival.

Subsequently, the team reporter of the Benfica team also revealed the turbulent process of Wang Po's new contract in his personal column.

When the fans learned that in order to continue to play for Benfica, Wang Po rejected Dortmund, who had almost double the salary, at that moment, this Chinese kid was the god in the hearts of all Benfica fans.

Some fans even initiated a petition on the Internet to erect a statue for Wang Po at the Stadium of Light. For a while, Wang Po's reputation reached its peak, and even welcomed the envy of the fans of his arch-enemy Porto. Look at his own Silva, even though he has won the highest salary in the team, he still transfers in two days and two days, messing with his agent Zhan Jack.

How good would it be if Wang Po was in charge at the beginning?
There is no harm without comparison, but it is too late.

Wang Po's stay in the team stabilized the morale of the army. In the subsequent league and cup matches, the team gradually entered the right track. A wave of 10 unbeaten games in various competitions announced the return of the king.

With outstanding performance, Wang Po secured the starting position, and his role in the midfield surpassed that of Riise, becoming the new first commander of the midfield.

All things considered, there was still bad news for Benfica during the mid-season transfer window.
