Chapter 203 The Aftermath
After Borussia Mönchengladbach won two consecutive Champions League victories, this round of the Bundesliga is an away game against Munich 1860.

The day before the game, the Munich media rushed to the official press conference held by Bayern Munich.

Hoeness said proudly: "Everyone, we have reached an agreement with Borussia Mönchengladbach. Swedish striker Henrik Larsson will join Bayern Munich during the winter break. The transfer fee is 2000 million euros. Henrik is an excellent striker. His killer qualities in the penalty area are amazing."

Larsson originally joined Borussia Mönchengladbach for 1200 million euros, but now he has generated 800 million euros for the club.

The reporters off the field started talking immediately.

"Damn it, this Bayern always likes to poach the opponent's corner. This Henrik is the main force on Borussia Mönchengladbach's front line. He cooperates very well with David Trezeguet."

"Hey, it's a sad reminder for a small team. They managed to achieve such good results, but now they are going to be dismembered by Bayern. It is estimated that Nick will be won by Bayern soon. It is not easy for Borussia Mönchengladbach to recover."

"That's right, Borussia Mönchengladbach's three lines go hand in hand, especially in the Champions League where the rich teams are powerless to parry, but now that Henrik is sold, can Borussia Mönchengladbach still be so good?"

"In the final analysis, money is the last word. Bayern has strong financial resources. What can Borussia Mönchengladbach use to compete?"

The news quickly spread to the Borussia Mönchengladbach team, and Larson became the boat on the cusp of the storm.

Nick found Larson immediately.

"Henrik, did you initiate the transfer?"

"Hey, Nick, the club is looking for me. They said that Bayern is interested in me. They also said that I am 29 years old and my future in Borussia Mönchengladbach is not secure. It is better to go to Bayern to earn more wages while I am in good shape. So, I agreed." Larsson said truthfully, but he did not lie.

Nick punched the wall fiercely, cursing: "I guessed it was like this, every season is for money, isn't that what competitive football is like?"

"Nick, don't be sad. It's very difficult for a small team to fight against a big team. If I'm not mistaken, this Borussia Mönchengladbach team is not for sale except you." Larson saw it through, and his words made sense.

Nick suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, not for sale? Hmph, since the club treats you like this, I won't give him any face."

The game against Munich 1860 was not affected by Larsson's transfer incident. Larsson played halftime and opened the scoring for Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 38th minute. At the beginning of the second half, Larsson was replaced by Dex.

Nick started to work hard in the second half, which made the 1860 Munich players who were struggling to support in the half complain.

In the 49th minute, Nick dribbled the ball past the defenses of Hasler, Cizek and Kurtz, directly broke into the penalty area and volleyed vigorously to score.

After Nick scored a goal, he made a celebratory gesture of 'let the birds fly with the fish jumping into the sky'. If you don't have a bit of cultural background, it is difficult to understand Nick's action.

But some people are very interested. Florentino, who came to Munich’s Olympiastadion to watch the football, suddenly turned around and said to his friend thoughtfully: "Bola, do you think Nick’s gesture is interesting? I remember that he didn’t seem to be able to do this celebration before? Fly? Does he want to leave Borussia Mönchengladbach? Yes, yes! It must be!"

Florentino suddenly became ecstatic. This is an opportunity for Real Madrid. Nick joins, and he will recruit Zidane next year. How can such a Real Madrid team be able to fight against it?

Lao Mi came to inspect Li Yihuan. He and Florentino are also friends. After hearing what Florentino said, Lao Mi smiled and said: "Mr. Perez, I think Nick does have some ideas. Borussia Mönchengladbach is now building a new stadium to raise funds. It is difficult to keep those top players. This will really make Nick sad. But from my personal point of view, I also hope that Nick can go to Real Madrid. In this way, my little plum will become the new core of this Borussia Mönchengladbach. Haha, it will give my team A huge help."

"Haha, Bora, you are right. Li is also a very good player. If possible, I will buy Li. The strength of the Chinese national team has increased dramatically. I think they should be able to participate in this World Cup in Korea and Japan, right?" Florentino was already in full bloom thinking of getting Nick.

Lao Mi smiled and said: "That's natural. The Chinese are actually very smart about football. However, I hope that Xiao Li can play in Borussia Mönchengladbach for two more years. Now that he is going to Real Madrid, can you give him the main seat?"

"Oh, Borah, I'm sorry. Lee is gone, so he should only be on the bench. You should know that every position in Real Madrid is a superstar. Otherwise, I would come to Baba to buy Nick." Florentino laughed.

"Hmph, superstar, isn't my little Li Zi not? Don't underestimate this kid. He can play forward, midfielder, full-back, and even midfielder. Real Madrid will regret it if they don't buy him." Lao Mi said dissatisfied.

The two were discussing, and in the other box, Murdoch was also smiling.

"Wendy, this little guy is definitely a treasure. I heard that Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool are all vying for him. You have to keep him. Except for him, you can sell all other players."

"Hey, I'm afraid this little guy is disobedient. It is said that last time Fahdi sold several other players, and he was very annoyed. I am worried that if our methods go too far, will he be upset?" Wendi Deng is a shrewd woman. Of course, she knows that Nick is the foundation of this Borussia Mönchengladbach team. Nick's status in the eyes of his teammates is too high, and he is also very good to his teammates. Naturally, Nick does not want to see his teammates being sold out one by one.

Murdoch said with a smile: "What does that matter? We can give him a salary increase. No matter what, Nick is the No.1 of the Borussia Mönchengladbach team. This treatment will never bore him, but Borussia Mönchengladbach must have influence, so building a new stadium is imperative. Once the new stadium is completed, there is no need to hurt the team. Nick will understand."

Wendi Deng did not speak, but took out a newspaper and gently handed it to Murdoch.

"The Sun? What are they messing with?" Murdoch took a look at it suspiciously, and his face immediately changed. "That's what Nick said? Is it true or not?"

Deng Wendi said: "It should be true. The female reporter is an intern reporter. In order to become a regular reporter, she worked very hard. She overheard Nick's words in the men's room, and she recorded them at that time."

"Immediately suspending the transfer plans of David Trezeguet and Ariel Ortega, maybe losing a Henrik Larsson, is not enough to make Nick change his mind." Murdoch said hastily.

"However, Juventus' quotation for David is as high as 3500 million euros, and Valencia's quotation for Ariel is also 2500 million euros. If the transaction is cancelled, such a large amount of money will not be credited." Deng Wendi said unwillingly.

"Then what should we do? If Nick runs away, we will lose even more, so we won't be able to attract good players." Murdoch couldn't resist the temptation of the 6000 million euros, but he was still calm. If a team's flags run away, it will be difficult for the team to attract those good players. On the contrary, if Nick can stay in Borussia Mönchengladbach, it will be a living sign, even those young players will be proud to join Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Wendi Deng suddenly said: "Let's see it this way. Let's continue to implement the two trade plans and look for David and Ariel's substitutes. As long as the strength is comparable to David and Ariel, I don't think Nick will mind."

"Is there? Well, this is a good idea. Do you have a goal?" Murdoch was tempted.

"Two days ago, the scouts sent back the information of several players. Among them was a Dutch teenager named Claes Jan Huntelaar. I think he is not bad. Now he is only 17 years old and has great potential as a center forward. If he is bought and cultivated for two years, he will be another David Trezeguet. As for the candidate for the attacking midfielder, the scouts found a Brazilian player in Gremio, Brazil, who is comparable to Ariel. You only need to spend a few million euros to get a midfielder who is as good as Ariel or even better, which is a multiplicity of things." Wendi Deng talked eloquently, if Nick was here, he would definitely think that this woman also came from time travel.

Huntelaar's future is wonderful, playing in the Bundesliga is definitely enough, and the Brazilian player Wendi Deng mentioned is even more incredible.

"Okay, go ahead, I will support you." When Murdoch heard this, he was also happy. He could make money and replenish the strength of the team in time, so Nick should not leave, right?

The final score of this league was 3:0. Nick scored twice in the second half, treating himself as a center forward, and turned the backcourt of 1860 Munich upside down.

However, the off-court competition was obviously more intense than the on-court competition. Less than 24 hours after the game, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Inter Milan, and Lazio all sent faxes to Borussia Mönchengladbach, requesting the captain Nick of Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Real Madrid's first offer reached 5000 million euros, which is already approaching Figo's worth.Obviously, Florentino is bound to win for Nick.

Several other teams have also quoted a price of no less than 4000 million euros, but where will Nick's future be?
