Chapter 145 Invitations from the Champions League champions and Chinese Super League giants!

It's hard to deny hospitality, Mansour said so, and Sophia quickly came up with the contract.

Lin Quan had no choice but to do it.

He took a fancy to the manor in the suburbs and chose this one.

Because it was Mansour who paid for it, discounts and other discounts were not included. The manor was sold to Lin Quan at the original price of 5.5 million.

As a result, Guardiola only spent 6.5 million euros to buy the mansion in the city center.

Calculating both sides, it is equivalent to directly saving half of the money.

But the difference is that the two houses originally belonged to Guardiola.

But now, the property title of one of the houses is written in Lin Quan's name.

Since it is your own manor, you have to take good care of it!

So, in the following week, Lin Quan and Guardiola were busy dealing with their own houses.

On May 25th, after more than a week of busy work and almost tidying up the house, the two of them could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It happened that Bayern sent Guardiola tickets to the Champions League final, so the two took a plane directly to London to watch the Champions League final between Bayern and Dortmund.

The Champions League final was held at Wembley Stadium in London. This was the first time in the history of the Champions League final that a German national derby was played.

This game was very intense, with Dortmund attacking heavily in the first 20 minutes.

However, Bayern goalkeeper Neuer defused the opponent's shots many times in a row and tried to keep the goal.

Bayern then launched a counterattack, and Alaba sent a wonderful pass in the frontcourt, creating a single opportunity for Robben.

When Robben received the ball, there was no one within ten meters, only him and the Dortmund goalkeeper.

But faced with an almost certain chance to score, Robben missed a single shot again.

This goal is reminiscent of the solo shot he missed in the last World Cup final.

"This ball was hit..."

Guardiola frowned when he saw it. When Robben faced the goalkeeper, he had so much space and no defensive players around him. How could the goalkeeper save his shot so easily?

If Messi were to play this goal, he is sure that the probability of scoring will be more than 90%!

"It would be better to buckle once. The goalkeeper's center of gravity has been lowered and it will be more difficult to adjust the direction."

Lin Quan also felt that Robben's shot was disgusting. Maybe it was because he was too impatient?

"Did Robben miss a penalty in last year's Champions League final?"

Lin Quan thought of something and asked.

"Well, his penalty kick was judged to be in the right direction by Cech and was immediately confiscated."

Guardiola has an in-depth understanding of Bayern's game and was deeply impressed by their loss to Chelsea in the last Champions League final.

"Missing great opportunities in the finals of three consecutive important tournaments will probably have a great psychological impact on the players."

Lin Quan thought for a moment, if he missed a key opportunity in the World Cup or Champions League final, he would probably be scolded by the fans, right?

He remembered the one-on-one shot that Messi missed in the 2014 World Cup, and how much infamy it earned Messi after the game. For this reason, Messi once had the idea of ​​​​retiring from the national team.

Robben missed such an excellent opportunity three times.

If he were Robben, he would probably leave a psychological shadow at this time.

But he underestimated Robben's mental endurance.

Under tremendous pressure, Mr. Luo completed his redemption in the second half.

In the 58th minute, Robben attracted the goalkeeper's attention in the penalty area and passed the ball to the goal, assisting teammate Mandzukic to score an empty goal.

Bayern 1:0 Dortmund.

Bayern's players and fans went crazy after the goal was scored. There are rarely such big-scoring games in the Champions League finals.

This goal scored by Mandzukic is likely to be the key goal to ensure that they win the Big Ears Cup.

Dortmund fans obviously know this too, with frustration written all over their faces.

However, Royce stood up at the critical moment.

He dribbled the ball into the penalty area in the 66th minute of the second half. When he was about to pass the Bayern defender, he was kicked to the ground by Dante.

The referee awarded a penalty kick.

But the slow motion on the scene showed that this goal should be a red card and a penalty kick.

Dante raised his foot too high and did not touch the football. Instead, he kicked Royce down.

Royce was kicked in the abdomen. After falling to the ground, he clutched his stomach in pain and couldn't get up for a long time.

Lewandowski missed a penalty kick in the last game against Bayern.

Royce was injured and was receiving treatment on the sidelines, so the opportunity to take the penalty kick was given to Gundogan.

Gundogan deceived Neuer and pushed into the lower left corner of the goal. Neuer pounced in the wrong direction, and the score became 1:1.

After the score was equalized, Dortmund's morale was greatly boosted, and they became more active in attacking Bayern's goal.

But Bayern seized the opportunity and launched a quick counterattack. Thomas Muller held Dortmund's defender in the frontcourt, passed the goalkeeper and passed the ball across the goal.

This is a great opportunity, Dortmund's goal is already empty.

However, Robben's start was slightly slower and Subotic made a clearance on the goal line.

As long as Robben can touch the ball, it must be a goal.

Seeing his players' key clearance, Klopp, wearing a suit and ties, excitedly waved his fists on the sidelines.

The ball just now really scared him!

However, starting from this attack, Bayern gradually took the initiative on the court.

They continued to attack Dortmund's goal in the frontcourt, getting closer to the goal every time.

"Dot is in danger!"

Guardiola, who has a strong ability to read the game, made accurate judgments.

Sure enough, in the 88th minute, Bayern's attack caused chaos in the Dortmund penalty area.

Robben fought his way out of the crowd, evaded the tackle from the defensive player, waded the ball into the penalty area, and got another one-on-one opportunity.

This time, Robben did not miss the opportunity.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he calmly pushed the ball into the far corner and scored.

The score on the field became 2:1, and Bayern once again took the lead!

This is a killer shot!

After scoring the goal, Robben was very excited. He ran towards the sidelines, shaking his arms and mumbling something, as if he was saying something.

Three years!

Three whole years!

He suffered for three years after missing a single chance in the World Cup final. With this goal, he was finally able to get rid of the shadow of multiple previous defeats in the final.

After the restart, Dortmund launched a crazy attack on Bayern in an attempt to equalize the score.

But Bayern held their own.

After three minutes of injury time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

With goals from Robben and Mandzukic, Bayern defeated Dortmund 2:1 in the final and won the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League trophy.

The moment the whistle ended, Bayern's players ran around the field to celebrate like crazy.

Coach Heynckes, who has always been calm and composed, also waved his fist excitedly to celebrate this hard-won championship.

On Dortmund's side, their players seemed to have exhausted all their strength, and some stood on the court with their eyes blank.

Some put their hands on their knees and looked down at the lawn.

Some people collapsed on the ground exhausted, with unwillingness on their faces.

As for Royce, he knelt down and threw himself on the lawn, his shoulders shaking, obviously crying secretly.

They were once so close to the championship, but now they are so far away.

Seeing Royce's sad look, Lin Quan sighed inwardly.

This is probably the closest Reus has come to the Champions League championship. As long as he continues to stay in Dortmund, he should not have another chance to reach the final.

This season's Dortmund is the last glory of the Klopp era.

If Royce were willing to change teams, he might have a better chance.

But with his love for Dortmund, Lin Quan would not be able to persuade him to leave, and he would most likely not accept it.

Therefore, Lin Quan could only wish him in his heart to protect himself and avoid getting hurt.

…

After the Champions League final, Lin Quan did not return to Munich with Guardiola, but left directly for Berlin.

Get ready for the German Cup final!

The German Cup match is scheduled for June 1, and the match will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

This game is the final game of Werder Bremen this season and also Lin Quan’s last game in Werder Bremen.

He hopes to have a perfect end to this season's journey.

After getting off the plane and driving to the team's scheduled meeting point, Lin Quan thought he had arrived early enough.

Unexpectedly, there was someone earlier than him!

"Lin, I thought you wouldn't come!"

Seeing Lin Quan coming, Anautovic's eyes lit up when he was training headers on the field. He immediately ran over and gave Lin Quan a bear hug.

"Where are the others? Are you the only one?"

Lin Quan glanced at the training ground and found that there were few people on the training ground.

"Hey, I came here right after I finished playing for the national team. They are probably still playing in the World Cup preliminaries!"

Lin Quan suddenly became enlightened after hearing this.

There are only five teams in Spain's group. They have a bye in this round and have no games.

The other groups are not so lucky. They all have six teams, so they basically have games in this round.

"Okay, look at how happy you are. Did you score a goal in the national team?"

"Hey, he scored a goal, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!"

Arnautovich clearly had a triumphant expression on his face, but he spoke modestly.

This sense of dissonance made Lin Quan even too lazy to complain: Pretend to be more like it!

"By the way, Lin, do you know about the situation in the Chinese Super League?"

I saw Lin Quan taking off his coat, picking up a football from the ground, and preparing to enter the field for training.

Arnautovich remembered something and immediately came over and asked.

Lin Quan was stunned for a moment. Did the news of the Chinese Super League team extending an olive branch to him leak out so quickly?

After the Bundesliga ended, Perret received several invitations from the Chinese Super League.

Among them, Evergrande has the highest sincerity. They offered an annual salary of US$25 million and a signing fee of US$50 million to invite Lin Quan to join.

Evergrande, which aims to build a corporate brand through Jinyuan Football, is willing to spend money on football.

Two years ago, they successfully built their reputation with the gimmick of bringing in the Brazilian MVP for $1,000.

If a higher amount of money can be used to attract the world's most powerful Chinese players to join at this time, the advertising effect will be more than ten times greater than when Conca was recruited!

Lin Quan asked calmly:

"Well, I understand a little bit. What's wrong? A Chinese Super League team is interested in you?"

He remembered that Arnautovic did move to the Chinese Super League to play football in another time and space.

But that was all in 2019, why is it so far ahead of schedule now?

"Hehe, you guessed it right. My brother said that I am very popular in China, and my strength has been unanimously recognized by the Chinese Super League clubs. Several clubs want to introduce me!"

Lin Quan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Anautovich's words.

Anautovic's brother Daniel is his agent. Since he said so, it seems that a Chinese Super League team has indeed contacted him.

But, how could Arnautovich be popular in China?

What Lin Quan doesn't know is that Werder Bremen's attention in China this season is obviously higher than in previous seasons.

In addition to Werder Bremen's good record this season and their gorgeous and beautiful play style.

The more important reason is probably because there is a Chinese player like him on the team.

Although they cannot represent the national team, it is a very happy thing for many domestic fans to see Chinese players appearing in European competitions, especially as the absolute core of the team leading the team to victory. Something happened.

Just like Jeremy Lin, who shone like a shooting star in the NBA last year, he is not a Chinese national.

But when there are no domestic players in the NBA, if you can see a Chinese player shine in the NBA, many domestic fans will choose to support him.

"Which team is interested in you?"

The Chinese Super League is very deep and the competitive level is not high.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Lin Quan does not recommend going here to make money.

Unless at the end of his career, it is difficult to play in the five major leagues, or the salary offered by the opponent is too high.

But having said that, the Chinese Super League is still in the early stages of Jinyuan Football.

We haven't reached the money-burning stage of crazy military expansion yet. Who is so rich?

"A club located in Shanghai, what is it called Shenhua?"

"do not go!"

"ah?"

"Don't go to Shenhua, you will be owed wages!"

"Really, really?"

Arnautovic was shocked. If the club couldn't even pay wages on time, how about playing football?

"Really, Drogba and Anelka have been cheated. Don't you watch the news?"

Arnautovich hurriedly ran to his cell phone and used it to search for relevant news on the Internet.

After reading it, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, I didn’t go. If I really went, I wouldn’t be tricked to death!

"There are indeed some teams in the Chinese Super League that are very arrogant and willing to give money, such as another team in Shanghai or the team in Guangzhou. If you want to make money, you can try these two teams. home club.”

Lin Quan dug out the news about Argentine midfielder Conca's annual salary of US$7 million in the Evergrande team and showed it to Arnautovic.

Arnautovic's eyes widened when he saw Conka's salary.

The opponent, a Brazilian player who had never played in the five major leagues, received US$7 million.

So if you join as the main player in the Bundesliga, wouldn't you get 10 million US dollars?

This salary is five times higher than his salary at Werder Bremen!

Five times, one year of playing is equivalent to five years of playing in the Bundesliga!

"However, I suggest you not to make money too early. The level of the Chinese Super League is not high. After you go, you may not be able to guarantee your main position in the national team!"

Austria's football level is not weak, and there are many players playing in the five major leagues.

The reason why Anautovic has been able to secure a starting position in the national team this season is mainly because of his good performance in the club.

But if he goes to a low-level league like the Chinese Super League, the head coach of the Austrian national team may question his status and not dare to recruit him easily.

"Okay, okay, I get it!"

Arnautovic could only swallow secretly when he thought about the salary offered by the Chinese Super League.

In the following days, teammates who had participated in the national team competition arrived at the training ground one after another.

But De Bruyne's figure has not appeared for a long time.
