    Saarbr¨ącken is the capital of Saarland and a border city of Germany.

    As a former heavy industrial base in Germany, there are dilapidated factories and various coal mining bases here.

    However, as more and more German companies introduced coal from countries with low wages, the status here plummeted.

    This is a bit similar to the declining heavy industry base in the Northeast of China.

    Saarbr¨ącken is a Bundesliga team, but they are not particularly rich, perhaps due to the low economic status of Saarland, it seems to be a Bundesliga team, but from some details, they even  Not even Hoffenheim.

    This is related to the expansion and rise of Hoffenheim last year.

    In fact, the development of Hoffenheim has surpassed most teams. In addition to the hard facilities such as the home court and office buildings, they have even surpassed most of the third-tier teams in terms of training facilities.  Move forward with the second division team.

    Of course, few teams have the courage to directly loan 20 million euros like Zhang Xian.

    This trip, Zhang Xian's purpose is the Saarbr¨ącken club, and he is here to buy players.

    As the general manager of the club, Best was quite surprised by Zhang Xian's arrival.

    But the two had just completed a transaction, and the bond was still there, so they naturally warmly welcomed Zhang Xian.

    Under the leadership of Best, Zhang Xian visited the Saarbr¨ącken club, and at the same time entered the honor room to see those old honor certificates.

    Yes, Saarbr¨ącken is a team with a long history. This team was established in 1903. In the 1940s and 1950s, it was a tough existence with teams such as Turin and the King of Madrid.

    But with the maturity of professional leagues and the advent of commercialization.

    After all, Saarbr¨ącken was a step slower and failed to embark on such a high-speed flight. Now they are struggling in the Bundesliga B and C. Until now, they have not been able to enter the Bundesliga once.

    And these old-fashioned honors are also the only remaining self-esteem of Saarbrucken fans.

    Hearing Beerst bragging about how great Saarbr¨ącken used to be, Zhang Xian was a little annoyed, but he could only show a curious look on his face, and inadvertently stood up.  Thumbs up and a few words of praise.

    For Zhang Xian's performance, Best is very helpful.

    "Tell me, who do you want to buy?"

    "Kohler Mario!"

    Bearster suspected that he had heard wrong.

    "who?"

    Zhang Xian said word by word: "Ke! Le! Ma! Li! O!"

    "Shit, I treat you as a friend, but you treat me like a fool!"

    Berster was furious instantly, and he said angrily: "He is our captain!"

    Zhang Xian emphasized: "The 'old' captain!"

    "In fact, Mario is now in a semi-retired state, and his life doesn't seem to be good. You don't want to pay him too much salary, and he himself is embarrassed to propose his willingness to leave."

    Hearing this, Best was silent.

    Kohler Mario is their old captain.

    Deeply loved by Saarbr¨ącken fans, it can be said that even in a semi-retired state, the team will let him show his face before the start of the new season to win the support of the fans.

    It's just that compared with these, the old captain's treatment is obviously not good. His weekly salary is 300 euros, which is pitifully small compared to his status.

    Of course, it's not that Saarbr¨ącken doesn't want to give more, but they have already spent enough on other players in the first team.

    And Saarbr¨ącken is also very poor, they really can't pay much for the old captain who acts as a mascot.

    "How do you know this?" Bearst asked.

    Zhang Xian shrugged and said, "Media, newspapers and online searches, buddy, this is no secret!"

    Belst twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and said, "You How much do you plan to give him?"

    Zhang Xian raised a finger and said, "The weekly salary is 1,000 Euros, which is the maximum salary for Hoffenheim!"

    Bearst was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "Are you so rich?"

    The reason why Birst was so angry just now was because he felt that Zhang was insulting Mario now.

    After all, the sixth-tier teams can't afford Mario's due salary.

    But when they heard that they were willing to pay a weekly salary of 1,000 euros sincerity, BellTate is not so angry

    Zhang Xian smiled and said, "We have invested half a year's budget in it just to win Kohler Mario's favor."

    In this regard, Birst pouted, he didn't believe it.

    This Chinese man lied as soon as he opened his mouth.

    Best sighed, and said: "Well, you can talk to him. In fact, his contract has expired and he is a free agent."

    Hearing this, Zhang Xian's eyes lit up.

    Free agent means no need to pay transfer fees!

    At noon, Zhang Xian and Best had lunch together. During this period, Zhang Xian proposed the idea of ??"internal youth training echelon league".

    In this regard, Best is very interested, and he is willing to join in.

    Previously, those youth training coaches often complained to him about the problem of not being able to find a training match partner.

    If you join this 'internal youth training echelon league', there will be no shortage of training opponents, and there is no need for him to contact and train opponents on the phone.

    During the meal, Best talked to Kohler Mario on the phone and explained the problem clearly, and he was willing to talk to Zhang Xian.

    For this, after thanking Zhang Xian again, he came to meet with Kohler Mario around 1:00 pm.

    Kohler Mario is 35 years old now, but he looks a bit old-fashioned, with white hair on his wings, he looks like an old man.

    But his figure is very burly, a full 1.9 meters tall, this guy used to be called "Scissors-Mario" in the German Second Division, a real thug.

    It's just that, since having a child, this guy's personality has become a lot more docile, from a fierce horse to a daughter slave.

    "Hello, Director Zhang!"

    When the two met, Mario smiled and held out his hand.

    Zhang Xian also smiled and shook it.

    "I think Mr. Best has made things clear. Are you willing to play in Hoffenheim?"

    "willing!"

    Zhang Xian was stunned by the decisiveness of the other party's answer.

    So smooth!

    Mario was also a little embarrassed, he said: "Actually, I already wanted to leave, but I didn't propose to leave, but someone came to buy me, but it seems that many people have lost interest in me, you should know  , compared to those skilled attacking midfielders, a sweeper like me is not popular."

    Zhang Xian smiled in his heart.

    At this stage, it is indeed the world of technical midfielders, and the position of the midfielder has very important tactical significance.

    But Zhang Xian still remembers that with the evolution of tactics, the position of the front midfielder has become more and more marginalized. This kind of sweeper midfielder is the preferred player of the future head coach.

    "You don't need to belittle yourself, in Hoffenheim, the midfielder belongs to the sweeper!"

    Regarding this, Mario smiled, he only took it as a comfort to himself.

    "So when do we sign the contract?"

    "Sign now!"

    Zhang Xian took out a contract from the briefcase he carried with him, and after writing the signing year and salary, he wrote his name on it, and handed it over.

    Mario picked up the contract to check, and when he saw the weekly salary of 1,000 Euros, he showed a satisfied look.

    He continued to look down, and when he saw that the signing year was 'three years', he was stunned.

    "Sir this we sign for three years?"

    Mario thought that Zhang Xian made a mistake.

    He is a thirty-five-year-old veteran, Zhang is now willing to spend 1,000 euros a week to sign himself for three years?

    Regarding this, Zhang Xian said calmly: "I believe that you will return more than the above amount."

    Mario was slightly moved in his heart, and he didn't refuse, saying, "Thank you!"

    After speaking, he wrote his name.

    So far, Hoffenheim signed the 'Scissors-Mario' who once dominated the second division.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
