Chapter 949 The Bundesliga has changed!
Remember in one second
"Hello, Dietmar!"
"Hello, Carl!"
In a private club in Munich, Germany, Hamburger FC's technical director Dietmar Beiersdorf met with Bayern Munich's chairman Rummenigge.
As the helmsmen of the two strongest teams in the Bundesliga last season, the two are no strangers to each other.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they sat down.
"Dietmar, although I don't know why you asked me to meet you today, I think you should explain the media reports in recent days?" Rummenigge asked with a laugh as soon as he sat down.
His tone was light and sounded kind, but it also had a hint of toughness.
In recent days, German media revealed that Hamburg technical director Beiersdorf met with the famous German agent, Volker Strus. The player lineup under this German agent is very strong, including Southampton's popular midfielder Toni Kroos, Tottenham Hotspur winger Reus, and Bayern Munich midfielder Gotze.
It just so happened that during this period, there were constant rumors that Gotze would leave Bayern Munich. After meeting with Beiersdorfer, Volksström turned around and said in an interview with the media that several Bundesliga teams were interested in Gotze.
As a result, many media naturally associated it with hamburgers.
Gradually, the news that Hamburg was going to sign Götze disappeared.
"Karl, you know, we don't have any agreement with Volkstrus. He is also the agent of our players. We met with him just to discuss the contract extension."
After a pause, Beiersdorf smiled slightly, "Of course, he also mentioned Gotze, hinting to us that Gotze was not happy in Bayern Munich."
What this means is actually very clear.
After becoming popular in Dortmund, Götze was poached by Bayern Munich for a record fee.
However, this talented midfielder, who was originally highly expected by the German football world, fell into a quagmire of confusion in Bayern Munich.
In the past few years, not only has Götze failed to perform at his level in Bayern Munich, his status in the team has also been getting worse day by day. This has also led many German football professionals to call for Götze to leave Bayern Munich as soon as possible.
As Gotze's agent, Volksström has publicly stated many times that Bayern Munich's support for Gotze is not strong enough and should continue to give Gotze more support.
But Bayern Munich obviously has no intention of making concessions in this regard. Both Sammer and Rummenigge have publicly stated many times that if Gotze wants to gain a foothold in Bayern Munich, he must perform better.
Even Sammer said that Gotze's contract only has two years left and the team's patience with Gotze is gradually running out.
All signs indicate that Gotze's status in Bayern Munich is no longer as good as before, and he is even on the verge of leaving the team.
Everyone knows that Bayern Munich's current problem lies on the flanks.
Selling Gotze, getting some cash, and strengthening the wing signings is also in line with Bayern Munich's strategy.
But, no matter what, contacting players and agents privately is not a good thing. Even if it was just a private meeting, Beiersdorf would never admit to such a thing.
"OK!" Rummenigge obviously accepted Beiersdorf's explanation.
"So, Dietmar, you came south today, but you wanted to talk to me about Douglas Costa's transfer?"
After finishing speaking, the chairman of Bayern Munich asked expectantly.
Last season, Hamburg seemed to have emerged out of nowhere. Under the leadership of Tuchel, it jumped from a Bundesliga relegation team to the league's championship group, and even occupied the position of league leader at one point. It can be said to be the biggest surprise of the Bundesliga last season.
Although, the Bundesliga's Northern King failed to carry on the legend at the beginning of the season to the end, it still won the league runner-up.
This is quite a success for Hamburg.
But what surprised Rummenigge even more was that Hamburg had achieved a steady transition of power over the past year.
Today, Hamburg is fully controlled by Yang Huan.
So, what's next for this team?
Rummenigge is very curious, and everyone in the Bundesliga is looking forward to it.
"Carl, don't waste time. You should focus your energy on others, such as Firmino of Hoffenheim. That's more realistic, isn't it?" Beiersdorf laughed.
Rummenigge smiled awkwardly, feeling somewhat helpless. Hamburg had now climbed onto the high branch of Yang Huan, and indeed no longer needed to rely on selling its star players to survive.
"Then the purpose of your coming today..."
Rummenigge was a little curious. If you weren't sent here for me to poach you, then what are you doing here?
But Beiersdorf just laughed and stared at Rummenigge, "Karl, I'm here to poach you today!"
"What?" Rummenigge was shocked.
This...is a joke?
In the Bundesliga, it has always been us, Bayern Munich, who have the right to poach other people's players. When will it be others' turn to poach our players?
Look at the past, from Götze to Lewandowski, any player that Bayern Munich likes, which one can't they poach?
But now, Hamburg not only rejected his poaching, but also wanted to poach its own players?
It’s really fucked up!
Do you want to rebel?
Rummenigge was really panicked because he felt that the Bundesliga had changed!

Knock knock...
"Come in!"
A thin Italian youth slipped into the office of the editor-in-chief of the famous Italian media Turin Sports Daily.
"Hey Romeo, what's up?"
"Editor-in-chief, I received news that De Bruyne has been confirmed for Inter Milan."
"It's decided?" The editor-in-chief sitting behind the desk couldn't help but look up in surprise and looked at the subordinate in front of him, very surprised.
"Who? Southampton? Bayern Munich? Real Madrid? Barcelona? Manchester United? Or Tottenham Hotspur?"
As he read out the names one by one, he himself felt a little surprised.
Thanks to his outstanding performance in leading Inter Milan in Serie A and Europa League in the past season, De Bruyne has been linked with almost all the top teams in Europe.
This made everyone at Turin Sports Daily, which is the mouthpiece of Juventus and has close ties with the Old Lady, feel envious and jealous.
When was the last time a star like this appeared in Serie A?
Yes, it’s Kaka!
A superstar who is now very far away!
"It's Manchester City!" Romeo said excitedly.
This is the information he dug out from inside Manchester City through his journalist friend in Manchester, England.
“He went to Manchester City?”
"Yes, Manchester City has offered a very high price for De Bruyne, reportedly 80 million euros."
"Eighty million?" The editor-in-chief jumped up from his seat.
That’s 80 million euros!
After Kaka and Ibrahimovic left, Serie A has never seen such a high-priced transfer.
Unexpectedly, it appeared now, and it happened to our arch-rival Inter Milan.
Anyone who has been immersed in the Serie A for many years can easily imagine what an astonishing shopping spree Inter Milan will set off in the Serie A after receiving this transfer fee.
"Not only that, I also received news that Inter Milan even sold Blind!"
“Is this true or false?”
"It's absolutely true!" Romeo said very confidently.
"And I can guarantee that Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are all poaching Inter players, including Handanovic, De Vrij, Damian, Khedira, Dybala, Felipe Anderson and Aubameyang."
At this point, Romeo chuckled with a gloating look on his face, "In my opinion, Inter Milan will be hollowed out this time. I want to see what they can use to compete in the Serie A in the new season!"
Indeed, any team, facing such a fierce poaching, would find it difficult to ensure that players would not leave and the team's strength would not be affected. Therefore, Inter Milan's decline in strength is almost a foregone conclusion.
As long as Inter Milan collapses, Serie A will become the world of Juventus again.
Juventus continues to maintain its strong position, and Turin Sports Daily, as its mouthpiece, is naturally also favored and popular.
"Good, good, very good!"
The editor-in-chief couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Romeo, go and prepare immediately. Publish these news items immediately. Contact other newspapers at the same time. I want to form a topic in a short time. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Romeo also became excited.
This is also a rare opportunity for him.
…………
…………
After Turin Sports Daily first broke the news that Inter Milan would sell De Bruyne, a star player loved by fans, for a high price of 80 million euros, several other Italian media also followed up with reports, and soon formed an overwhelming momentum.
But this did not cause panic among Inter Milan fans, they were just paying more attention.
After all, if there is a team willing to pay 80 million euros for De Bruyne, then it would be understandable for Inter Milan to sell the Belgian midfielder.
Let me ask, looking at Serie A, who can stop such a **?
I’m afraid even Juventus doesn’t have such confidence?
But shortly afterwards, Turin Sports Daily revealed that Inter Milan had reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur to sell the team's main central defender Blind to the Premier League, but the specific transfer fee was unknown.
This made Inter Milan fans worried, but they were still able to control themselves.
But then, many Italian media also broke the news.
Today Barcelona is trying to sign Dybala, tomorrow Real Madrid is interested in signing Felipe Anderson, the day after tomorrow Bayern Munich wants to sign Aubameyang, and Manchester United and Chelsea are competing for Khedira.
As the media reported this day after day, Inter Milan fans gradually became unable to hold back.
If they really sell it like this, won’t Inter Milan be hollowed out?
If, at this time, the fans could still remain calm and rational, then the next report from Turin Sports Daily completely ignited the panic of Inter Milan fans.
That is, Turin Sports Daily reported that the mysterious Chinese capital that acquired Inter Milan was more for arbitrage and had no interest in long-term operation. So after Inter Milan achieved surprising results last season, they decided to sell and cash out when the player value was high, while also seeking to sell Inter Milan's shares.
In order to increase the authenticity of the report, Turin Sports Daily even dug out the inside story of the "Pan Xia", a wealthy man from the Middle East.
This immediately shocked the entire Italian and European football world.
Sell Inter Milan?
Is this possible?
The answer is, absolutely it is possible!
If the other party is indeed snobbish and pursuing capital for profit.
Especially after seeing Inter Milan selling players one after another, even the most rational fans couldn't help but start to believe it a little. They even felt that at this time, as the most hardcore Inter Milan fans in the country, they should do something for the team.
They can't just allow snobbish capital to manipulate their beloved team like this, right?
So, Inter Milan fans began to take action.
But this time, they no longer occupied Durini Street, but shifted their target!
