Chapter 101 Sky-high Signing Fee
Werder Bremen's style of play has always been tough, and the courage to take cards is their team's characteristic.
In the previous match against Schalke 04, after the opponent's midfielder Neustadt committed a malicious foul on De Bruyne, Werder Bremen's players took turns to attack him and kicked him off the field.
In this game, Olic played the villain again, trying to hurt the only core of his team.
How can this be tolerated?
Can't stand it! So, before Olic could kick again, Werder Bremen's counterattack came.
In the 33rd minute, Schmitz took the first step and knocked Olic to the ground with a fierce tackle.
The latter let out an exaggerated howl, hugged his legs and rolled on the ground three and a half times, looking like he was about to die.
Seeing him howling so miserably, the referee showed Schmitz a yellow card.
Schmidt did not protest, but glared at Olic as he passed by him.
This foul made Olic behave himself for a while. After all, the arrogant ones are afraid of the stupid ones, and the stupid ones are afraid of the desperate ones.
People don't care about getting a card for a foul, they just want to kick you, and you still dare to do it against the rules. Don't you care about your legs?
Winning or losing is the team's business, but your legs are your own...
Without Olic's flagrant foul, Lin Quan became difficult to limit on the court again.
In the 35th minute of the game, he repeated the 45-degree arc pass he made in the match against Schalke 04.
The ball flew past the Wolfsburg players along an extremely unscientific trajectory, brushing the grass and accurately finding Werder Bremen's center forward Arnautovic.
The latter was also very surprised that the ball could find him so accurately, but the quality of the pass was extremely high, and the speed of the ball had slowed down when it came to him.
Arnautovic didn't even need to stop the ball, he could just kick the ball directly.
He did not waste the wonderful pass from his teammate, but directly swung his leg and shot the ball, which passed through the fingers of Wolfsburg goalkeeper Bellario and flew into the net.
After scoring the goal, Arnautovic ran straight towards Lin Quan, squatted in front of him, motioned for him to ride on him, and then took him to the sidelines to celebrate.
More than half of the credit for this goal goes to Lin Quan! If it weren't for his accurate pass, Arnautovic wouldn't have had such a comfortable chance to shoot.
"Lin, how did you kick that pass just now?"
"Could it be a guess?"
The teammates also ran over, and after celebrating, they were all very curious. They wanted to know how Lin Quan made that incredible pass.
Can you learn this by yourself?
If they can learn it, they all want to learn it!
The most feared thing when passing a through ball during an attack is that there are defensive players on the passing line. As long as the opponent stretches his foot to block the ball, the ball will not be able to pass.
But Lin Quan's pass just now solved this problem perfectly. His pass turned, and the exaggerated arc made the defensive players could only watch the football fly away in front of them, but they had no way to intercept it.
If they can all learn this trick, then everyone in Werder Bremen will probably be a master of curve balls in the future.
Not to mention the players on the field who wanted to learn, even De Bruyne, who was sitting at home watching the live game on TV, wanted to learn.
After seeing Lin Quan perform an incredible pass again, his eyes widened and he wished he could rush to the court immediately to learn from him.
“How is this done?”
"How can such an imaginative pass be made?"
De Bruyne held his head, wishing he could replay the scene of Lin Quan passing the ball ten or a hundred times...
…
The game restarted, and after falling behind, Wolfsburg launched an even more determined attack with heavy forces.
They cannot afford to lose, as a loss would cause them to fall completely into the relegation zone.
Even if we cannot win this game, a draw and a point would be good too. The only thing we cannot accept is losing at home.
"Run, run, cheer up!"
Their coach Felix Magath is a well-known training maniac in the Bundesliga.
He paid close attention to the team's training, especially physical training. The most famous thing he did was to let the players hold a very large solid ball and do strength training for the muscles in various parts of the body.
In addition, he also likes to let the players go hiking and long-distance running in the forest...
Under such high-intensity training, the team coached by Magath is much stronger than other teams in terms of physical reserves.
Therefore, his tactics require players to run actively and fight fiercely, trying to defeat the opponent with this highly aggressive tactic.
This tactic may have some effect at the beginning, but after using it so many times in the Bundesliga, everyone knows how to beat them.
Just like in this game against Werder Bremen, don’t you like running?
Then I will use the passing and controlling tactics, increase the number of passes, and let you run enough.
Lin Quan is the threading needle in the midfield, and Fritz and Junuzovic are intercepting and clearing the ball in the defensive midfielder position.
Although Werder Bremen's passing and control style is somewhat different from Barcelona's, they still have no problem dealing with a relegation team like Wolfsburg.
The players of Wolfsburg were helpless. They didn't want to run because they couldn't get the ball and would be fooled by the opponent instead.
But the coach kept yelling at them from the sidelines, telling them to run.
There was no choice but to run away.
As a result, they ran for dozens of minutes in vain but didn't catch a single ball.
Instead, Werder Bremen scored another goal in the 64th minute of the second half to seal the victory.
At the end of the game, the fans at the Volkswagen Stadium began to leave early.
This game was so ugly. Our players were just being led around by their opponents. I was afraid that I would explode if I watched it for one more second.
Magath sat in the coaching booth with a grim look on his face. After losing consecutive games, he had already smelled danger.
The club has been in contact with Schuster recently and seems to be interested in hiring him to take over his position.
This season, Wolfsburg not only has a poor record, but the atmosphere in the locker room is also very bad.
Many players in the team have conflicts with Magath and are very dissatisfied with his devilish training.
If his devilish training could result in better results, then the players might be able to tolerate him.
But his devilish training achieved nothing and only made the players feel tortured.
In this case, the players are naturally unwilling to support him.
They would rather change a coach and a different style of play.
Wolfsburg's troubles have nothing to do with Werder Bremen. After winning the away game, their league points reached 30 points, 1 point ahead of Bayern Munich who has one game less, and temporarily topped the Bundesliga standings and became the new leader.
Although Werder Bremen did not stay at the top of the list for too long, three hours later, Bayern Munich slaughtered Hannover 96 at home with a score of 5:0 and regained the top spot.
But this is the first time that the top spot has changed since the start of the Bundesliga this season.
As a result, major German media reported on this incident.
The media praised Werder Bremen's outstanding performance this season, believing that with six consecutive victories, they have every chance to overthrow Bayern Munich and snatch the league championship from them.
The media also expressed their disbelief that Lin Quan was able to lead the team and achieve such good results when De Bruyne was absent due to injury.
"The selection of the best new player in the Bundesliga this season has ended before it even started. I don't think anyone can snatch this award from Lin Quan!"
A football legend wrote in Bild:
"With De Bruyne out due to injury, Lin Quan appeared in the midfield position. The outside world may not be optimistic about his performance in the midfield at first.
However, in these two games, Lin Quan answered people's doubts with 4 wonderful assists: he is still the top player in the midfield! Considering that he plays as a frontcourt freeman in the Spanish national team, we have reason to believe that he may be able to play any position in the frontcourt.
It's hard to imagine that he's less than 17 years old! To be honest, even though I've watched football for many years, I don't remember seeing a player like this before.
This means that we may be witnessing the birth of a legend.”
Although the German media had praised Lin Quan countless times before, this report still caused widespread discussion.
The reason is simple, the winter break is coming!
The arrival of the winter break means that the winter transfer window is about to open.
For many wealthy families who are determined to buy Lin Quan, this is definitely an opportunity that they will not miss.
…
As Lin Quan's agent, Pere has been very busy recently.
His phone rings almost 24 hours a day, as there are too many teams that want to take Lin Quan away this winter.
Not only those famous top clubs, but even some small and medium-sized clubs called him with a try-it attitude.
Anyway, Barcelona’s penalty clause is not expensive, only 5 million euros!
No matter whether it succeeds or not, it’s always a good idea to give it a try. It doesn’t cost much anyway.
If by any chance the other party takes a fancy to their team, they would make a fortune.

Perrey's influence in the brokerage industry is not strong enough, and there is a big gap between him and the top brokers.
Therefore, faced with inquiry calls from major giants and a large number of small and medium-sized teams, he did not become impatient. Instead, he patiently explained and communicated with every call.
This made him familiar to these clubs. Regardless of whether the transfer was successful or not, he finally established connections with these clubs with this opportunity.
When you arrange the transfer of other players in the future, you will not have difficulty finding connections.
For this reason, Perez was very grateful that Lin Quanneng signed a contract with him.
If it weren't for Lin Quan, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to come into contact with so many clubs.
So, after he finished his work, he flew to Germany and went to Bremen to report to Lin Quan on the progress of his work during this period.
"The current situation is like this. A total of nine giants have sent you invitations, hoping to take you away during the winter break. The others are all small and medium-sized clubs. I don't think you will be interested, so I declined them for you."
Lin Quan nodded, picked up the list and took a look at it.
The top of the list among the giants is Real Madrid of La Liga, which promised a starting position for Lin Quan and was willing to offer him an annual salary of 7 million euros.
This annual salary is not too high among top players, but for young players of Lin Quan's age, it is already the maximum salary.
Lin Quan took a quick look at the remaining clubs and saw the names of AC Milan, Inter Milan, Old Lady, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern and other teams.
Among these teams, Bayern Munich made him a little concerned:
"What are the conditions offered by Bayern?"
Lin Quan has no interest in other teams for the time being. Now that Guardiola is confirmed to be going to Bayern, his next stop is likely to be Bayern.
The Bundesliga is suitable for young players to level up. He has played here for half a year and has adapted to the rhythm of the game here.
He has no plans to risk moving to another league until he reaches adulthood and his physical development is complete.
Firstly, different leagues have different styles. Suddenly changing the league style will cause adaptation problems, which is not conducive to him earning system points quickly.
Secondly, Guardiola is good at coaching and using young players, and I can learn a lot from him.
Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga is so strong, and the past few years have been the peak period of Bayern's lineup.
Go to Bayern to play football, earn points, win honors, and grow at the same time.
These are all crucial for Lin Quan at this age.
He had discussed this with Pere before, and the other party was also aware of this.
So after hearing Lin Quan's question, Pere immediately found the intended contract offered by Bayern:
"They want to sign you for five years, with an annual salary of €6 million and a signing bonus of €5 million."
Hearing this, Lin Quan frowned.
"What is the salary level within Bayern Munich?"
"There are five players in Bayern who earn more than you. The highest is Ribery's 8 million euros, followed by Schweinsteiger's 7.7 million euros, Robben, Gomez and Lahm all earn 6.5 million euros."
"Your teammate in the national team, Javi Martinez, earns 4.5 million."
Lin Quan nodded. It seemed that what Bayern offered was not low.
Their salary expenditure is definitely not as good as Real Madrid's. After all, Real Madrid is the most successful club in the world, and its commercial development is not comparable to Bayern's.
Last season, Real Madrid's salary expenditure was about 45 million euros more than Bayern, a full quarter more.
It is normal that Real Madrid players get more when the number of players in the teams is similar.
These annual salaries are all after-tax annual salaries. Calculated based on the pre-tax annual salary, Lin Quan's annual salary has exceeded 10 million euros, making him a multi-millionaire.
"It may be difficult to increase Bayern's salary. If it is higher, it will affect the stability of their salary system. However, I can help you negotiate a signing fee. After your contract with Barcelona ends, if you join Bayern as a free agent, it can help them save a lot of transfer fees.
This transfer fee can be paid to you in the form of a signing fee, which is additional compensation for you."
Pere's words instantly aroused Lin Quan's interest, as he had read some relevant reports before.
The outside world estimates that his transfer fee is at least 40 million euros. If all this money is transferred to his account in the form of a signing fee, wouldn't he be rich? It's hard to imagine that Guardiola worked so hard for so many years, but in the end he couldn't even get 20 million euros.
As soon as he signed the contract, he would receive 40 million euros immediately, and Lin Quan couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Ahem, Bayern Munich probably won't give that much, 20 million is probably the limit, if it's more, they probably won't be willing to pay."
Pere's words stunned Lin Quan for a moment, and he immediately asked, "Why? Does Bayern think I'm not worth the price?"
"No, they will see your value, but they may think that it will be easy to get your contract after signing the contract with Pep. In this case, their psychological price will not be too high, and 40 million signing fee may be difficult to achieve."
Lin Quan was a little dissatisfied. It was not because he was greedy for money or anything, but the other party's behavior seemed to be disrespectful to him.
"If I join Real Madrid for free, how much signing fee will Mr. Florentino be willing to give me?"
"Fifty million euros!"
Pere answered without thinking.
Lin Quan looked at the other person in surprise. It seemed that the other person had already had private contact with Florentino.
No wonder he put Real Madrid's name first. I just don't know how much benefits Florentino gave him in private.
"Ahem, he promised me that if I could make this transfer happen, he would give me an extra 5 million euros in commission."
The commission of professional player agents is generally 10%, but the commission of Perez and Lin Quan’s contracts is only 5%.
Even so, if Lin Quan signs with Real Madrid, he will still receive 2.5 million euros out of the 50 million signing fee.
In this case, the 5 million euros commission offered by Florentino will naturally be very attractive to him.
No wonder he put Real Madrid first. From his personal interest point of view, facilitating the transfer of Lin Quan and Real Madrid is the most profitable for him.
Lin Quan stared at Perez for a few seconds, and lamented the power of money, which almost tempted his uncle.
"If you don't want to go to Real Madrid, I can call President Florentino immediately and reject his invitation."
Pere felt a little embarrassed when Lin Quan looked at him. Although he really wanted to make the money, he would not go against Lin Quan's wishes if Lin Quan himself was not interested in Real Madrid.
"No, just don't answer them for now. I don't plan to transfer this winter, so I reject all invitations from other teams. I will wait until the end of the season and my contract with Barcelona expires.
As for the invitations from Real Madrid and Bayern, you can continue to talk to them.
There is no need to spend too much effort on Real Madrid, and I probably won't go there.
Mainly on Bayern's side, you have to find a way to negotiate the signing fee. My bottom line is 30 million euros. I will try to limit the contract to less than three years. I don't want to sign a long contract with Bayern. In addition, a buyout amount can be included in the contract, and the amount cannot exceed 150 million euros. "
Lin Quan has his own ideas about his contract, and Perez only needs to negotiate according to his instructions.
Anyway, it's still a long way from the end of the season, so there's no need to rush, just talk about it slowly.
Lin Quan believes that as his performance on the field gets better and better, Bayern will definitely make concessions.
