Start from 1999

Chapter 56 Season Ends
The 98-99 season of the Bundesliga came to an end, and the champion belonged to Bayern.

The relegation battle is exciting. In this round, Frankfurt, which is ranked third from the bottom with a goal difference disadvantage, and Freiburg, which is fourth to last, are fighting for their respective fates in this round.

Since all games in this round kick off at the same time, each venue is constantly transmitting the scores of other games.

The final result: Bremen beat Stuttgart 1:0 away, Freiburg beat Nuremberg 2:1 away, and Frankfurt beat Kaiserslautern 5:1 at home. Yang Chen played well with two goals and one assist.

In the end, Freiburg was relegated with one goal less than Frankfurt with the same points and goal difference.

At the end of the season, Nick's Borussia Mönchengladbach scored No.8, which is a relatively good result compared to the last one in the winter break.

The team disbanded the next day.

But Karl and Nick were notified by Koenig to a meeting at his villa.

"Hey, welcome! My dearest Coach Jerem and Captain Nick!" Koenig stood at the door of the villa with a smile on his face.

Nick noticed that this wicked capitalist is really a person who knows how to enjoy himself. This villa is completely park-like and occupies a very wide area.

The small bridge and flowing water are lush with greenery, and even the servants in the villa are very well-behaved.

"Nick, what are you looking at?" Koenig thought that Nick had never seen the world when he saw Nick looking around, so he asked proudly.

"Haha, Mr. Chairman is really a person with great taste in life. This place is not bad, it is not bad! Coach, what do you think?" Nick wondered what villa I didn't live in in my previous life?This Konig is really a villain, and he actually used it as a show off.

Carl also smiled: "Well, yes, Mr. Chairman has a good vision. But I think it might be a good suggestion to use this villa to buy a few powerful players to enrich the team's strength for next season. Mr. Chairman, what do you think?"

Koenig smiled awkwardly. Obviously, his investment in the team over the years was not enough. On the contrary, he kept selling players.

"Okay, Jerem, I admit that your suggestion moved me. Come on, please, let's discuss the future of the team slowly."

Walking into the living room, Laura just came out with a cup of coffee, and Nick was relieved.

"Regarding the future of the team, Laura has some suggestions and would like to communicate with the team's coach and captain, sit down!" Koenig greeted enthusiastically.

After everyone sat down, Laura said: "First of all, I would like to thank Coach Jerem and Captain Nick for their contributions to the team. I think if it weren't for you, Borussia Mönchengladbach would already be a Bundesliga team at this time. Kony made the right decision, and in the next season, we must do something to repay Mr. Chairman and the Borussia Mönchengladbach fans who have been silently supporting the team."

Nick felt a little better at the moment. If it wasn't for him as a time traveler, Borussia Mönchengladbach would definitely be downgraded.

After taking a sip of coffee, Laura said: "The team's lineup must be supplemented. Lothar has already decided to join the team next season, but I have notified their agents for some players who are not strong enough. Next season, they must find their own clubs."

Nick thought to himself that this is normal. There are indeed many old guys in Borussia Mönchengladbach who haven't played much this season. Except for Wenhof and Kamps, other old guys should be cut, otherwise how will the team's metabolism continue?

"But the team lost so many people all of a sudden, so it has to be supplemented. I have already proposed to the Bochum team to acquire their players Paul Fryer and Mehdi Madavikia. I wonder if Coach Jerem has any suggestions for this?" Laura continued.

Bochum has been relegated, and their main players will definitely not be able to keep. With the strength of Fryer and Madavikia, they must not be reconciled to play in the Bundesliga. It is estimated that buyers have already lined up at this moment.

Carl laughed and said, "That's very good. I don't think other veterans over 30 will be in my lineup for next season except Peter and Uwe. Miss Laura can sell them with confidence. As for Paul Fryer and Mehdi Madavikia, the combined value of the two is estimated to exceed 1000 million euros. Otherwise, it will be difficult to win. Bayern and Leverkusen are well known for Fryer's favor and attractiveness. We are absolutely inferior to them. Instead of this, we should specialize Iranians, Paul is not what we need because we have Sebastian."

"Oh? Does Coach Jerem think that Paul's arrival will conflict with Sebastian's position on the field?" Laura asked very professionally, which made Nick secretly admire this woman. Although her relationship with Koenig was criticized, she was still very reasonable in controlling the club, especially in the introduction of players.

Karl said: "Yes, the team already has two cores, and there is no place to put another one. The defense needs to buy players. I think the club should have received an offer from Patrick, right?"

After the last round of the league, the Swede has given Karl and his teammates a pass. He will transfer to Bayern next season, because he believes that in Bayern, he will have more chances to win the championship and his abilities will also be improved.

Anderson once used a free kick in the penalty area to break the Hamburg team's goal at the last second in the Bundesliga in the 00-01 season. Bayern was able to beat Schalke 1 to win the championship by 04 point.

Of course, only Nick, a traveler, knows, and Anderson has indeed improved his strength in Bayern.

"Hey, I have already rejected Bayern's offer for Nick and Sebastian, but there is no reason to reject the 800 million euros they offered for Patrick. I think with Nick, the team's defense can give young people some opportunities. Coach Jerem, what do you think?" Laura explained with a smile.

"Haha, 800 million euros? Bayern is really willing to spend money. Well, since this is the case, the 800 million euros can help us not only win the Iranians, but also buy a few more capable players." Karl is very satisfied with the price offered by Bayern. 800 million euros to buy a defender is considered a high price.

Laura was noncommittal, otherwise she wouldn't let go.

"The club's scouts found a young player at the Prussian Münster Football Club. His name is Christopher Metzelder. I have studied his game video. This is a player whose future achievements far exceed Patrick. I have bought him for 200 million euros." As soon as Luo La finished speaking, Nick jumped up excitedly.

"What? Metzelder?"

"What? Nick, do you know him?" Laura asked in surprise, but she wondered in her heart that Nick's agent father found out?
"I've heard about this player, he's good, Miss Laura, your deal will bring huge benefits to the club." Nick naturally wouldn't admit that he knew the future main central defender of the national team.

"Very good, since Nick has heard of him, then we did the right thing. The scouts also found a young defender named Arne Friedrich in the third-tier team Wall SC. The level is also good. It only cost the club 100 million euros. I would like to ask Coach Jerem to guide these two young central defenders. Next season, I hope they can become the team's main central defender combination."

Lola's words made Nick fall again. Friedrich, this is another central defender of the German national team in the future. Unexpectedly, Borussia Mönchengladbach's scouts are so awesome. In this way, the team's defense has really strengthened a lot, and Nick is more confident about the next season.

"Okay, no problem. I believe in the vision of the club." Karl is relaxed. The club can introduce good young players. Karl welcomes them very much. Guiding young players is his specialty. Borussia Mönchengladbach's young guards will definitely surprise the Bundesliga teams next season.

"The team still needs to introduce a speed forward on the front line. We need to give full play to the assist talents of Nick and Sebastian. Without a speed forward, it will definitely not work. Next, the team will strive for this goal. Coach Jerem, do you think the team needs to add any players?"

Lola's proposal to introduce another speed forward is in line with Nick's inner requirements. In this way, Borussia Mönchengladbach can play faster, and it will definitely not be a problem to drag down those Bundesliga teams.

"I think the team's problems will be discovered in July, so I can't express my opinion now, but Ms. Laura is really professional, and you have left us speechless." Carl said with a smile.

Lola is indeed very professional in dealing with the team. I didn't expect the old guy Koenig to have such shit luck. The team is controlled by Lola, which is definitely better than Koenig's own control.

However, whether those players can get along well with the team depends on the team's joint training. Although some players are good, it is difficult to adapt to the team's tactical arrangements. Therefore, the players brought in by the team must be tried before they know.

Before leaving, Laura grabbed Nick and said, "Nick, I want to tell you some good news. Mr. Erich Riebeck has sent a fax to the club. You and Sebastian will participate in the match between the German national team and Moldova at home on June 6. Nick, you have finally been selected for the national team. This is the youngest player in the history of the German national team."

"Hehe, thank you Mr. Ribeck, I am very happy to be selected for the national team." Nick is also very happy. At 16 years and 5 months, such a record for the youngest player of the national team is probably rare in all countries in the world.

Coming out of Koenig's villa, Nick is full of confidence in the team's future. As long as the team's strength can be improved, he can hit higher goals. Who doesn't want his name to be recorded in the championship history?
