There is a belief called football

Chapter 209 The next stop to Spain is Germany
With two consecutive victories in the World Cup qualifiers, Stan is now in a good time. With the advantage of goal difference, Stan's team temporarily occupies the first place in the group.

After 3 rounds, the results of the top 3 are Australia with 2 wins and 6 points, China with 2 wins and 6 points, South Korea with 3 wins and 2 loss in 1 games and 6 points, and the other two teams have 0 points.

The first group bites very tightly, and the "Three Kingdoms Kill" is still very fierce.

But after the game, Stan was not happy, because his fate with the club seemed to be coming to an end.

In the first half of the season, although the team's performance was good, ranking first in the league, far ahead, and no problem qualifying for the AFC Champions League group stage, but after Stan left, it was obvious that the team's hearts were fluctuating, and many capable players had already contacted them through their agents.

The first one is the Brazilian defender "Gabriel". He clearly notified the club to leave in the summer transfer window, and his next one has also been finalized-La Liga's "Villarreal".

Recoba also said that after the contract expires, he will not renew the contract. He is going to return to Uruguay to play football, and the leaves will return to their roots.

The "Peruvian old demon" Pizarro is also preparing to return to the Bundesliga, and his next home will be the Bundesliga "Werder Bremen", which is where he first landed in the Bundesliga and his dream began.

In addition, Korean foreign aid "Park Han-sung" is also preparing to land in Germany, and his next home is "Bochum" of the German second division.

And others, such as "Taiwo" and "Gudjohnsen" are also contacting European teams, as long as there is a suitable one, they will leave the team before the European transfer window closes on September 9.

If it is said that the departure of these people makes Stan uncomfortable, what makes Stan even more worried is the two offers just received by the club-one is Barcelona's 1500 euros to buy "Prahimi".

Although Stan felt uncomfortable, he also understood that after the Club World Cup last year, Brahimi was targeted by European giants. Now in world football, such a strong waist is indeed a scarce resource, and Guangzhou Tianbao cannot keep it.

But Stan really likes Prahimi very much. "Xiao Hei" is very open-minded and occasionally likes to play pranks.In fact, when Beckham was leaving, Ferguson was so excited, was it because he was angry, or was he reluctant?

It's like our parents sometimes scolding us, not really scolding, but love. Who can say that Ferguson's flying boots back then were not because he loved Beckham too much?

But Stan knows that Brahimi is not a thing in the pool after all, he needs a higher stage, and he can only bless him no matter how reluctant he is.

The other offer was for Li Qiao. There were two offers from two clubs. The first was also from Barcelona, ​​with an offer of 500 million euros, and the other was from Bundesliga's Mainz, with an offer of 400 million euros.

The money is not much, but this is the current reasonable value of Chinese players in the international market. Of course, Stan wants to reject it immediately, but the news must be conveyed to the player himself. Stan decides to tell Li Qiao personally. In addition, after the summer transfer is completed, Stan will terminate the contract with the club in advance, because the club also knows that the main reason for the instability of people's hearts is that the coach "leaves".

*****
"Li Qiao",
"What's the matter, Stan, you usually only call me Joe",
"That's a private matter, this time I'm looking for you is a business matter",
"Oh, you said",
But Li Qiao heard from Stan's tone that he was not very happy.

"There are two quotations about you, listen to them", and then Stan told Li Qiao the details.

After listening to it, Li Qiao didn't say a word, and said in a matter-of-fact manner, the first offer made Li Qiao's heart flutter, to go to Barcelona?Who wouldn't want to, not only the huge improvement of the stage, but also being with two childhood friends, Brahimi and Sandro.

Second offer?Actually speaking, Mainz's invitation may be more sincere. Li Qiao knew that the Japanese genius "Usami Takashi" who landed in the Bundesliga giant "Bayern Munich" last year did not even have a chance to start in the league in the first year, and was returned after only one year.

Sometimes for young people, a wealthy family is not necessarily an opportunity, but also a grave. This is what Li Qiao is very worried about. If he goes to Barcelona for a year, sits on the bench for a season, and comes back next year in disgrace, he might as well not go.

However, many Asian players who went to the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga have been greatly improved, such as South Korea's "Gu Zizhe", "Sun Xingmin" and so on.

Thinking of this, Li Qiao said to Stan: "Reject the offer from Barcelona, ​​and I will consider the invitation from Mainz."

Stan has already guessed the first half of Li Qiao's sentence, because at Li Qiao's level, if he wants to go to Europe to make soy sauce, he doesn't need to wait until now, but Stan did not expect the second half of Li Qiao's sentence, it seems that Li Qiao still wants to go to Europe very much.

"Why, do you know Mainz?"Stan asked.

"I don't know, but I remember it's a mid-level Bundesliga team. Stan, you know, around 500 million euros is a drizzle for Barcelona, ​​but for a mid-level Bundesliga team, it's a big sum. At least it proves that they attach great importance to me, so I want to think about it."

Stan was silent, he thought to himself, "Maybe I have not only ended my fate with the club, but maybe my mentorship with Li Qiao has also come to an end."

Stan is a very emotional person. Although the separation and reunion of the football field is the most common. Every year, people retire, transfer, and young people come out and bring in, but Stan always feels that his relationship with Li Qiao is different, just like a relative.

"Joe, you're going, at least to a rich family," Stein said.

"I know, but to go to a wealthy family, you need to prove yourself step by step. The influence of the Chinese Super League is too small," Li Qiao said.

Stan understands this reason. If emotional factors are put aside, then going to Mainz is a good choice. With Li Qiao’s strength, he can definitely play the main force in Mainz. After one or two years, he will definitely be targeted by giants. At that time, it is logical to transfer to a stronger team.

"Then, Joe, you said that you would only go back if the team offered the first price in Asia," Stan teased Li Qiao.

"Hehe, a man can bend and stretch. If not, wouldn't I stop playing football?"
"Since you are a little tempted, think about it carefully. I also use my relationship to learn about Mainz," Stein said.

"Thank you in advance, Coach Stan, by the way, Prahimi is going back to Ukraine tomorrow, do you want to go see him off with me?"
"Forget it, you go, take me to say hello," Stan said.

"Stan, are you angry"?
"Haha, of course not, it's just a little reluctant," Stan said.

"Then if one day I really leave you, will you be reluctant?" Li Qiao asked.

"No, if there is such a day, I will switch careers to be your agent, just like "Mendez" and Ronaldo."

Li Qiao understands the meaning of Stan's words. Mendes is the most famous agent in Portugal. He is not only Ronaldo's agent, but also the "godfather" of Ronaldo's son and a friend of Ronaldo's brother. It can be said that Mendes is like a father to Ronaldo.

"I can't afford such an expensive agent," Li Qiao said.

"Haha, Joe, you need to change your pettiness, you get what you pay for," Stan said.

*****
The next day, at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, Li Qiao was still a little sad when facing Prahimi.

"Xiao Hei, come back to play when you have time",
"Of course, Joe, if you hadn't brought me to Guangzhou, I might still be sitting on the bench in Dynamo Kiev. No one would know about Prahimi."

"Do you still remember the time when we trained and played together in Kiev?" Li Qiao asked.

Brahimi tilted his head, but he was actually sad.

"When I was young, I always wanted to grow up. When I grow up, I can make money, support my family, and make my parents live better, but when I really grow up, I really miss my childhood," Li Qiao said.

"Joe, why did you turn down Barcelona"?
"Then why did you come to Guangzhou?" Li Qiao asked back.

"For playing football, for not being a substitute",
"Yes, I am the same. Barcelona has too many offensive linemen, and there will be no place for me. I bought me purely to develop the Chinese market. To put it bluntly, it is to take advantage of it."

Prahimi also understands the truth, but he really likes being with Li Qiao.

"Don't worry, I will definitely use my strength to kill Europe, wait for me, Xiao Hei",
Brahimi nodded, he knew Li Qiao's strength very well, and he believed that it would be a matter of time before Li Qiao's ability went to a European giant.

Li Qiao patted Prahimi and said: "Go, you should be happy that you have realized your dream".

Then Li Qiao took out a pair of sneakers, "Prahimi, the first gift I gave you was a pair of sneakers, now I will give you another pair".

Prahimi took it and looked at it. There were 4 Chinese characters on the sneakers. Li Qiao pointed to the words on it and said, "This is written by me. It is the Chinese characters of your name, Prahimi."

Finally, Prahimi couldn't help crying, but it was a kind of soft sobbing. Finally, Prahimi wiped his eyes and said, "Joe, come to Barcelona", then turned and walked quickly into the inspection gate.

After seeing off Prahimi, it's time for Li Qiao to think about his future. Where will he be after summer?In China or Germany, after thinking about it all night, Li Qiao still couldn’t make up his mind. Mainz is really good, but Mainz is a mid-lower team in the Bundesliga. How much exposure can they have in Europe? Will it not be as good as Guangzhou Tianbao?At least Guangzhou Tianbao is a team that can play in the Club World Cup.

Trees move to death, people move to live, transfer is too important for players, a good transfer can help a player, a bad transfer can destroy a player, Li Qiao has reached a crossroads in his career.

　Congratulations to Guangzhou Evergrande for winning the AFC Champions League again. Next month's Club World Cup is exciting. Will it touch Barcelona in the final, just like what I wrote?
