There is a belief called football

Chapter 334 The liquidated damages clause should be activated
"It was my idea to lure you here, please don't blame Robben," Summer said.

Li Qiao chuckled, "Private jets, blue sky and blue sea, private yachts, and fine wine in my hand, if this is considered cheating, I hope to be cheated more often."

Everyone laughed, and Robben said: "Then I can rest assured, in fact, I recommended you to the club."

"Thank you for your appreciation".

Maybe it was because there were no outsiders, Summer became more direct.

"If I invite you to join Bayern next season, would you like it"?
It seems to be an unspoken rule in the current world football to get the player first and then the club he is in. Although this is not in compliance, looking at the transfer market in recent years, everyone seems to be doing this.

"But I still have a three-year contract with Dortmund",
Rummenigge and Summer laughed, "We know that there is a clause of 4000 million liquidated damages in your contract. As long as you agree, we can activate it at any time, even now."

"That won't work. I hope that even if I leave Dortmund, I will break up peacefully."
"That's impossible. To tell you the truth, without this liquidated damages, we would not have contacted you. I know Zork hates me. Even if I am willing to give more money, he will not be willing to talk to me," Summer said.

Rummenigge took up the conversation, "So our plan is next summer, after your vacation, you will not go to Dortmund, but come directly to Munich, and the club's lawyers will help you deal with the rest."

This poaching plan can be said to be very thoughtful, but there is one thing, that is too despicable!
Li Qiao shook his head, "This is not acceptable, it is too immoral, I will become a traitor if I do this."

Summer laughed again, he looked at Robben, Robben said: "Joe, football is not war, we must always be loyal to the country, but the transfer of professional football is the most normal thing, the morality of players should be no match-fixing, not no transfer".

What the three of them said seemed to make sense, but Li Qiao always felt that something was wrong, not that Li Qiao really wanted to stay in Dortmund forever, he always knew that Dortmund was a transition, but Li Qiao didn't want to leave in this way, it was like a lover breaking up, what's the point of sneaking away?
"No, I would like to join Bayern. Wearing the red jersey is my dream, but I hope Dortmund agrees, just like "Scibel" went to Hertha Berlin," Li Qiao said.

"But you are not "Scibel", you are the best player in Asia," Summer said.

"Can't we talk about it, for example, Bayern can give some more money, how about 4500 million?"Li Qiao said.

"Well, Joe, after the Gotze incident, Zorc stopped answering our Bayern calls," Rummenigge said.

Summer spread his hands: "Yes, don't talk about it, it's impossible to just ask."

Li Qiao is a principled person and not so easy to fool. Although he really wants to join Bayern, train at the "Sebena Street" headquarters, and gallop at the Allianz Arena to score goals for Bayern, he cannot leave as a "traitor".

"What about 2016? If the club doesn't let me go then, I will do as you say," Li Qiao said.

Robben doesn't understand why a year is wasted. For football players, time is more precious than money, especially forwards, whose professional career is only about 10 years.

"Why waste a year"?Robben asked.

Without waiting for Li Qiao's answer, Summer agreed, "Okay."

******
It was almost dinner time, Rummenigge and Summer invited Robben and Li Qiao to have dinner together.

"Let's go get the shrimp pots that we put down in the morning, and let's eat grilled lobster tonight," Rummenigge said.

"Okay, see you at the pier," Robben said.

The boat sailed far away, and Rummenigge asked: "Why did you promise so fast just now? There are a lot of variables in a year, so you can rest assured if you get it done sooner."

"Oh, that kid won't betray Dortmund," Summer said.

"But he looks like he really wants to join Bayern",
"Yes, so he has to repay Dortmund first",
Rummenigge understood, "You mean what he will do in 2 years to repay Dortmund and then join Bayern"?
Summer nodded.

"Is there still such a simple person now?"
Sammer smiled, "Trust my judgment. Li Qiao is such a person. I have worked as a coach and worked in the German Football Association. Now I am in charge of Bayern's transfer. I have seen hundreds of players at least. I feel that Li Qiao is different."

"Hehe, I believe in your vision. You also relied on your intuition when you introduced "Martinez" back then."

"We waited an extra year, but we can exchange for Li Qiao's sincerity. What do you think of this deal?"

"Not bad," Rummenigge said.

*****
"Joe, I know your privacy I shouldn't ask, but why 2016"?Robben said.

Li Qiao smiled: "I really can't answer you, please understand."

"All right",
The two of them didn't chat a few words, and Rummenigge's yacht also returned to the port. A large cage of lobsters was enough for a lobster feast at night.

Looking at the lively lobster, Li Qiao asked: "How to do it?"
Li Qiao really didn't know how to deal with these guys in front of him.

"Don't worry, I'll come," said Robben's wife.

Robben's wife "Bernardeen" is a beautiful Dutch woman. He and Robben have known each other since they were young.

Bernadine left after finishing the matter. She knew that her husband and the club's senior management were likely to talk about things together. Robben also liked his wife's understanding.

"Joe, what sauce do you want?"Summer asked while holding the lobster meat with barbecue tongs.

"Ketchup Bar",
"OK, bring the plate and continue",
There are four people on the table, Summer turns into a chef, and the other three just lift up the plate and take it.

"Matthias (Sammer) you are so virtuous, I want to marry you a bit when you look like you are wearing an apron," Rummenigge said.

Li Qiao and Robben laughed out loud.

"I'm sorry, but I don't marry a football player, my mother said, a football player doesn't come home," Summer said.

Rummenigge didn't laugh after hearing this. He didn't go home for Christmas, but was working on the transfer of Bayern Club.

"All three of you will call home later," Robben said.

"We have only Robben who is a good man here," Li Qiao said.

"Of course, he lost his hair to support his family," Summer said.

Li Qiao didn't expect Summer, who usually looks fierce, to be so humorous, every sentence has a laugh.

"Cheers, Joe, but I'll be merciless next time we meet," Robben said.

"No need, I will attack the Allianz Arena next time," Li Qiao said.

"Big breath, I like it," Summer said.

The four of them were like best friends, they met each other and hated it too late, they drank too much after drinking, at this time the sea breeze blew, and when they looked up, there were stars and stars, it was a life lived by gods.

When you are slightly drunk, people speak more freely. Li Qiao took an empty wine bottle as a microphone and asked: "Mr. Summer, Mr. Rummenigge, you two are famous traitors in the history of Dortmund. What do you think?"

The two laughed first, and then Summer signaled Rummenigge to speak first.

"I am proud that I have played for two of the greatest clubs in Germany, both as a player and as a management",
"Well said, here we go," Robben said.

Four people had a drink.

"It's your turn," Rummenigge said.

"I'm timid. I'm afraid that the people of Dortmund treat me just like the people of Florence treat "Batistuta". As much as you love, you will hate as much as you do."

"Then what happened next?"Li Qiao asked.

"Later I found out that I was thinking too much. In fact, I am not that important in their hearts."
The four laughed again, and Rummenigge almost fell into the sea.

"When Lewandowski first came, he told me that Dortmund fans would miss him very much. After Li Qiao came out, Dortmund people forgot who Lewandowski was," said Robben.

The four men were really happy and refreshed after drinking and chatting.Unknowingly, Rummenigge even told the club's secrets.

"Mathias, Guardiola won't renew his contract anyway, what do you do after he leaves," Rummenigge said.

"Gua Shuai will not renew his contract"?Li Qiao thought to himself, because the news a few days ago said that Gua Shuai was very happy at Bayern and was considering renewing his contract.

"You've had too much to drink," Summer said.

Summer is a very cautious person. The coach is the core of the team. His fate is a secret of the club. Even the players don't know.

"Guardiola didn't say he wouldn't renew his contract, he was just talking about it," Sammer concealed.

Robben knew the rules of the club, so he pretended he didn't hear it, and Li Qiao did the same, pretending nothing happened just now, and poured himself a glass of wine.

It was a little late at night, and Robben was going to accompany his wife. Rummenigge was too old to stay up late, so he left too, leaving only Summer and Li Qiao. Li Qiao said that he laid a floor on the deck of the yacht, watched the stars, and enjoyed the sea breeze. Summer said he liked that too.

Sammer is known as Germany's best free agent after Beckenbauer, with excellent football talent, and the two chatted about football on the deck.

"I think football is art, and it should be beautiful and sexy," Li Qiao said.

"Football is philosophy, with its own rules but elusive," Summer said.

"Can you give me an example"?Li Qiao asked.

"Have you seen "Hegel" (the famous German philosopher)"?
Li Qiao shook his head.

"I once asked someone, can you explain the thought of "Hegel", he said no, you need to see for yourself."

Li Qiao was thoughtful.

"Football is the same. You have to use your career to understand what football is. Maybe you will have the answer on the day you retire, but I can't tell you the answer now."

"Well, I hope we can communicate again like today," Li Qiao said.
