From the Country Team To the Rich - Chapter 936
Chapter 936
In 2035, in Sinsheim Hospital, Germany, Lawrence was lying on the bed, stroking the photo in his hand.
This is his treasured photo, and it is also the first time Hoffenheim won the Champions League trophy.
In the photo, everyone has a happy smile on their faces.
Lawrence’s thin face also revealed a smile.
At this time, Lawrence was in a very bad state. He had an oxygen inhaler in his nose. He was very thin and had gray hair. Only the eyes that stared at the photo showed a little light.
Jenny sat beside Lawrence’s bed.
She is a new reporter from The Sportsman. She is here to interview Hoffenheim’s most loyal fan and former fan leader, Lawrence.
Jenny waited for Lawrence for a long time, and when the opponent finally raised his head, she said: “Steven said after the victory that this is not the first time, and he has done it.”
Lawrence pulled a smile on his dry cheeks and said in a hoarse voice: “He’s bragging, in fact, after that time, we encountered a lot of trouble the next year and failed to win the Champions League trophy. We were all well prepared at that time. .”
“For example?” Jenny asked curiously.
Lawrence laughed; “Sell Roquel and get the money back.”
Jenny showed a surprised expression and said; “So, the rumor of selling Roquel was true at that time?”
Lawrence coughed a few times, nodded and said, “Yes! We did make this plan, but we didn’t implement it in the end, because the two directors on the board of directors strongly opposed it!”
“Bauer and Tim?” Jenny asked.
Lawrence nodded and said: “Yes, Zhang meant to sell Roquel and rebuild a team with Leo as the core, but the two of them didn’t do it. They felt that this was a wrong decision.”
Jenny asked curiously; “What did you think at the time?”
Lawrence was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly: “A lot of things happened later, but in the end we launched a fan vote and removed Zhang as general manager!”
Jenny said; “But it also created the Hoffenheim Cosmos period!”
“No no no!” Lawrence waved his hand and said; “This is doomed, because Zhang has already built the foundation of everything, no matter who sits in this position, this is an inevitable result!”
“In 2027, Zhang will step down as the general manager of Hoffenheim and will no longer hold any club-related work. Many people say that this is a key point for Hoffenheim to step down from the altar. After all, Zhang’s departure has led to Many excellent players such as Steven, Ranier, Habble and so on have been transferred! At present, only Leo remains in the team.”
“2022-2025 is a brilliant period for Hoffenheim. You have won three Champions League titles, and even included all the championship trophies you can win, completing the feat of seven crowns.”
Lawrence waved his hand and said bitterly, “Can we talk about some other topics?”
Jenny nodded and said, “Okay! What do you think of the news that Leo has broken up with the club and is about to leave?”
Cough cough cough cough!
Lawrence coughed continuously, and he considered it to be swallowed.
Who sent this stupid girl here.
Lawrence wiped the corner of his mouth and sighed; “The conflict between Leo and the club began in 2031. Leo was dissatisfied with the club’s poor performance in the transfer market, and Hoffenheim gradually lost its competitiveness. Makes him anxious.”
“He’s a super player who has won six Ballon d’Or awards. Do you really want to let him go?” Jenny asked.
Lawrence: “No one wants to see Leo leave, especially Hoffenheim fans, but we have to admit that there are problems with the current Hoffenheim management.”
“Where exactly?” Jenny asked.
Lawrence raised his eyebrows; “Do you dare to report?”
Jenny laughed; “We are athletes, we dare to do anything.”
Lawrence smiled, then sat upright and said solemnly; “Tim is no longer the original Tim, our boss has deteriorated, he regards Hoffenheim as his private property, and regards football as a Games, but he doesn’t know that this is a major event involving tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people!”
Jenny was silent for a moment; “Tim owns 49% of the shares.”
“That’s right!” Lawrence nodded; “Bauer is unwilling, so he is blocking Tim, but he can’t do it alone, at least 30% of the shares in his hands make him unable to control the right to speak.”
“But you still have 21% of the shares, just let him speak out!” Jenny said innocently.
Lawrence smiled bitterly; “How is it possible, he is no longer engaged in sports work, we don’t even know where he is.”
After a pause, Lawrence sighed; “Actually, he warned us from the very beginning that capital is capital, and we cannot rely too much on capital. At that time, we always believed in Tim’s character, so we didn’t take it seriously. , but now it looks like he made the right decision.”
“Hoffenheim should take the road of self-sufficiency, look at Hoffenheim now, everything is destroyed, it is very like Munich 1900 before.”
Jenny asked, “Isn’t there any way to fix it?”
Lawrence sighed; “No one knows what the answer is.”
I saw that he was silent for a long time, then whispered; “The person who knows the answer will not be there anymore!”
“Let’s talk about something lighthearted!”
“OK.”
Conference room at the Hoffenheim training base.
The two directors are arguing.
“You’re destroying this club, Tim! You can’t do this! We can’t terminate the contract with Leo, he is the spiritual symbol of Hoffenheim!” Hoffenheim chairman Jurgen Bauer is roaring.
And Hoffenheim’s boss Alpha Tim also shouted with a livid face: “Hoffenheim needs to be rebuilt, we need new forces! Shit! Look at Leo, he is 33 years old, he can’t run Yes! He vomited on the field!”
Jurgen Bauer angrily rebuked; “So what? Hoffenheim needs Leo, he is the best player on the planet, he has won six Ballon d’Or awards, and he has given all his loyalty to Hoffen Heim!”
“But he wants an annual salary of 80 million euros! The Brazilian kid has become a greedy money slave!”
“He just wants to see the club take him seriously! He doesn’t really want it!”
“Shit! That doesn’t work either, my management has told me that Leo has to leave!”
Tim finished shouting and looked at the management on the side.
I saw Hoffenheim’s general manager Luna slowly got up and said; “We can’t afford the annual salary of 80 million euros, and we can’t make enough guarantees, and Leo no longer trusts us, so he can only leave! ”
“Fart!” Jurgen Bauer’s fingers trembled, pointing at everyone, his cheeks shaking with anger.
He looked at his old friend.
Mary, Ivan, Brendan, you have to say something!
But they all bowed their heads and made no movement.
Jurgen Bauer pursed his lips tightly when he suddenly turned his sleeves and left.
When slammed the door, he shouted towards the conference room; “You will regret it!”
Alpha Tim shouted helplessly; “Where are you going?”
“Leave me alone!”
Alpha Tim: “Don’t break the news to the media, you idiot!”
Two more are here!
As you can see, the one-year renewal of the village is coming to an end.
There will be a chapter or two after that.
See you in our next work!
The new book “Strong Waist” asks for support!
