Chapter 378 What is the European Cup?
"The German team won consecutive victories in the group stage and advanced to the knockout round one round ahead of schedule. Portugal and the Netherlands were all under our feet. The opponent Denmark in the third game was not enough to hinder us. It is very gratifying to see that the German battlefield finally They have completely stepped out of the previous trough, and I believe they can definitely become a strong contender for this European Cup..."

This is the afternoon of June 6, before the third round of the German team's group stage match against Denmark, Bayern Munich club chairman Rummenigge is talking to reporters in Ukraine. As a famous German football player, he will certainly not be absent In this grand event, these bigwigs also like to give pointers to this junior, Loew, and express their insights condescendingly.

Rummenigge had just answered a question from a German reporter when another journalist with a big nose from England crowded in front of him:
"Mr. Rummenigge, can I spare you a few seconds? I just have a quick question."

Rummenigge nodded politely with a smile:

"Of course, we have a lot of time, and you can ask any questions you want."

As a well-known big mouth in European football, Lugege has always been very welcome to reporters. He is also a master at using the media to express his personal attitude.

"Thank you," the reporter took out a large-screen mobile phone from his pocket with a look of honor, and then handed it to Lu Gege, "This is what our "Sun" reporter just photographed half an hour ago. What is your comment on this photo?"

Rummenigge is not yet 60 years old, and his eyesight is good enough to see several characters on the screen.

Alex Ferguson and his scouting brothers. In European football, there is no club chairman who does not know this pair of famous brothers.

And the one who stood in front of them and chatted happily with them... was Long Shute who had just helped Bayern reach the top of Europe and won the first triple crown in Bundesliga history!

They don't look like rivals they've only met once, but old friends who went to the races together!
Rummenigge trembled and almost dropped the reporter's cell phone to the ground.

"Mr. Rummenigge, you haven't answered my question yet?"

The English reporters were still full of respectful and polite smiles, but in Rummenigge's eyes, they felt a burst of nausea.

He tried his best to restrain his inner emotions, and replied without losing his grace:

"I don't have a problem with that, because it's the offseason and everyone has their own lives, I can't stop the players from enjoying the holidays, can I?"

He returned the phone, and then strode away.

As soon as he returned to his special car, he called his secretary:
"Buy me a ticket to fly back to Munich, yes, today! No, I'm going to London, to London! European Cup? Go to tmd European Cup! The British guys have already bullied me! I want to start the third The Great War of the Next Century!"
-
Cristiano Ronaldo is under pressure right now.

His national team had one win and one loss in the first two group matches, tied for second place with Denmark, but Portugal's final opponent was the World Cup runner-up and uncrowned king Netherlands, who had lost both games and decided to save face in the final game. As the absolute core of Portugal, the burden on his shoulders can be imagined.

Take a look at his competitors. Long Shute has already won the Asian Cup championship, and Messi has also won the Olympic championship. Only he has nothing at the national team level.

If you can get good results in the European Cup, or even win the championship, at least you can have more confidence in this year's Ballon d'Or selection-after all, a mere league trophy is not too convincing.

But just as he was about to enter the battlefield, his old club grabbed the headlines of all sports media with such a gossip!

"Ferguson meets Long Shute! The Chinese captain is about to transfer to Manchester United!"

"There are pictures and videos! Long Shute had a secret conversation with the Manchester United coach for half an hour!"

"Lord Ferguson was all smiles, he held the most terrifying sharp knife in the world in his hands!"

"Long Shute + Van Persie + Rooney! Manchester United's Trident is over Robberon! The Red Devils storm is about to sweep the world!"

"The Bundesliga script has been written, and the next stage is the Premier League!"

"The end of Liverpool! They will never recover!"

"Manchester City's victory is destined to be just a flash in the pan! Long Ritian is about to land in England!"

"Chinese investment is coming! The Premier League is about to usher in the world's most powerful sponsor! CCTV will restart the Premier League live broadcast plan next season!"

……

Long Shute has never been a pure-minded boy who only knows how to play football games. He has already experienced the morals of the media a long time ago, but he still did not expect that an unexpected meeting with Ferguson would cause such a sudden change in the future. Huge waves.

When an hour passed and the opening performance of the Jockey Club was over, he received a call from his agent Tony Moretti.

"My respected boss, are you not satisfied with my job?" The agent's voice was full of tension and anxiety. After all, there are only three super clients like Long Shute in the world.

"What are you talking about, Tony?"

Long Shute has no dissatisfaction with this agent. In the past season, he has crazily sucked in more than 5000 million euros. Cannot fault this agent at all.

Moretti slowed down his speech a little:
"If you want to transfer to Manchester United, you can leave it to me to handle it. There is no need to come forward in person, otherwise I can only understand it as distrust of me..."

"Oh no, it was just an accident, I was just staying with Emma..."

Long Shute explained with a smile:
"If the Bayern club does not issue an eviction order this summer, I will stay at Bayern for the time being, and it may be a little earlier to land in the Premier League."

Moretti on the phone finally felt relieved:

"Rummenigge just scolded me on the phone. He even threatened me to take us to court. He has already flown to London and is going to confront you face to face. I have also arrived at the airport in Milan. , it will take off in 10 minutes, see you in the evening."

Long Shute shook his head with a wry smile, and glanced at Emma who was doing yoga in front of the TV:
"See how much trouble you have caused me? You are only allowed to ride a horse at home from now on!"
-
Three hours later, Rummenigge and Hoeness appeared in a French restaurant on the streets of London at the same time, and Moretti had already rushed to Long's side.

While tasting appetizers and wine, the three of them listened to Long Shute explain everything that happened today in detail.

"...that's all there is to it."

Long Shu cut a piece of foie gras and put it in his mouth.

Rummenigge seemed to want to say something, but Hoeness took the lead:
"Thank you very much for your frankness, Long. Please don't blame us for making a fuss. The reason why we are so nervous is only because the club attaches great importance to you."

"Of course I understand, but please believe in my professionalism. If... I just said that if I don't want to stay in Munich, it is definitely not a matter of salary, bonus, exposure or advertising endorsements, but I want to To meet higher challenges. At present, I have not completed all the challenges at Bayern."

"What's the challenge? We've already won the historic Triple Crown!" Rummenigge couldn't help asking.

"No, Karl," Long Shute called Lu Gege's name directly-this is not an impolite behavior, but they have the qualifications to talk on an equal footing, "Shouldn't the Triple Crown be all Bayern's goals? Think about it Guardiola's six crowns, don't you want to come again? Think again about the curse of defending the Champions League, our journey...is not over yet!"

The breaths of Rummenigge and Hoeness became heavy at this moment.

No one does not envy the former Cosmos team Barcelona, ​​and no one can refuse the honor of being the first club to successfully defend the Champions League after the restructuring!

"I'm very glad to hear this with my own ears," Hoeness calmed down, then raised his glass, "I hope that the beautiful vision you mentioned can be realized in the near future."

"cheers!"

The four goblets touched lightly, making a crisp sound.

Long Shute drank the fine wine in the cup, then asked with a smile:
"You two can relax now and continue to watch the European Cup in Ukraine, right?"

"What about the European Cup!"

Rummenigge blurted out.

Hoeness also shook his head:

"After listening to what you just said, my body seems to be full of motivation. We have no time to watch the game leisurely. For a more brilliant future, we need to take a look at the transfer market. By the way, you Any suggestions?"

"Please buy a defender, and also add some good rotation players, whether it is Robben, Ribery or Gomez, you need a suitable substitute. You know, we will not have a winter break next season, so The depth of the lineup must be further strengthened, otherwise all prospects can only be beautiful dreams..."

Before Long Shute finished his topic, he felt something was wrong.

The system reminded him that the friendliness of Hoeness and Rummenigge towards him dropped significantly in a short period of time...

The two bosses of Bayern don't seem to want to buy so many people!
