Not to mention Qin Tian’s fulfilling and interesting holiday life in Los Angeles, Sloka is having a headache about recruiting the team in the new season at Schalke 04 base in Gelsenkirchen.

Looking at last season, although the team scored a lot of goals, if you carefully analyze it, you will find that in addition to Kulanyi, the other forwards on the forward line have a little less goals. First of all, Larson has been constantly injured and has low attendance rate; Levin's speed is too slow, his personal ability is not too outstanding, and his ability to fight tough battles is a bit poor; Jeremy Mene is young and his future is unlimited, but he still lacks some experience at present; Jones is a scattered gold medal, but his style of play is too loose, and he can be a substitute, but he can't be used as a main player. Therefore, Sloane needs to solve the problem of weak strikers. Fortunately, the team has long had the goal of main attack, that is, the scorer Jefferson Falfan, who currently plays for Eindhoven in the Dutch Eredivisie. [..com]

Falfan, a forward in 1984, is most likely one of the brightest new stars in South American football in the past 10 years. After coming to Eindhoven in 2004, Falfan, one of the most important attack points in the team's frontcourt, did not disappoint coach Hiddink. He played 115 games for the team and scored 52 goals in three seasons. He quickly conquered the fans of Philips Stadium with his skillful footwork and a breakthrough rhythm with South American rhythm.

In the Peru national team, Falfan is also an indispensable role on the front line. As early as the South American U17 Championship, he scored 4 goals in a game, which is very sharp.

Therefore, Sloka has every reason to believe that Falfan's arrival will alleviate the embarrassing situation where Schalke's 04 striker is the only one who stands out on the stand-alone striker.

But the problem now is that in addition to Schalke 04, Falfan has long attracted the pursuit of other well-known European clubs, such as Totram Hotspur in the Premier League, Fiorentina in Italy and a Russian Premier League team.

Fortunately, Schalke 04's advantage is that it had contact with Falfan early. As early as the winter break, Sloane arranged for Muller to communicate with Eindhoven early, and Falfan had always had a good impression of Schalke 04, but at that time, the deal was stranded because the Eindhoven club refused to let him go.

What is now certain is that Eindhoven club has the intention to let Falfan go. In addition, Falfan is not disgusted with joining Schalke 04, and the team has just won the European championship, which is undoubtedly a fatal attraction for young players like Falfan.

So the conditions are now fully ripe. Mueller has set off for the Netherlands. I believe good news will come soon. On June 10, the transfer came to an end. Eindhoven's official website gave an exact notice of Falfan's transfer on the same day. The club has reached an agreement with Schalke 04 Club on Falfan's transfer. The Peruvian player will leave Philips Stadium this summer and become a member of the Royal Blues. After bargaining, the final transfer fee was determined to be 10 million euros. This is undoubtedly Schalke 04's first heavyweight transfer this summer.

Qin Tian learned the news later through the official website of espn. At the same time as the news, Larson transferred to Toulouse for 3 million yuan. This made Qin Tian a little sad. As the big brother, Larson played a great role in Qin Tian being able to quickly integrate into the team. He is still very capable, but because of the injury, the attendance rate is low and his personal strength cannot be demonstrated.

However, Qin Tian would not complain or blame the ball for being so unhuman. He just sighed a little. As a professional player, you can't point fingers at the boss or the head coach. Moreover, there are many capable players like Falfan, which is beneficial to the improvement of the team's strength. After all, next year, whether it is the Bundesliga or the Champions League, Schalke 04 will not win the championship as easily as this year, because his strength has been exposed to everyone for research and analysis. Therefore, only when his strength continues to improve in the region can he ensure an invincible place.

While Qin Tian was on vacation, his contract renewal was also in an orderly manner. According to Jessica's account, most of the problems of both parties have been resolved. The only difference lies in the salary. Jessica offered 100,000 euros per week, while the club only wanted 80,000 yuan, but it didn't matter. It was like talking about business, with both back and forth.

Qin Tian had no objection to the specific discussion. Anyway, Jessica was in charge, but when she first heard about the price, she was still a little shocked. After all, Schalke 04 is not Manchester United or Chelsea, which made Qin Tian worry whether Jessica wanted it too ruthlessly.

Jessica gave Qin Tian a blank look and said that the price was not high at all. Her psychological price was 80,000, so as long as the club rose a little further, it would be completely OK. Moreover, with Qin Tian’s current status and strength in the team, it is worth getting such a salary. Taking a step back, even if the talks collapse in the end, Qin Tian doesn’t have to worry about no one asking for it. Now many clubs outside want Qin Tian and Schalke 04 to have a good time, and they just took advantage of the situation.

Qin Tian was still a little guilty. After all, the old man Reiberg was quite good to him. This made Jessica completely unable to understand Qin Tian's way of thinking, and she had to explain to Qin Tian in a roaring way. The club is like a company, you are the top salesperson in the company. You have contributed your efforts to the company's performance. Then should your salary be worthy of your efforts?

"Hi, let's say it earlier!" Qin Tian brows raised, "If you say that earlier, I will fully understand."

Looking at Qin Tian's appearance that you can't explain clearly, Jessica wished she could pour all the coffee in front of her on Qin Tian. This kid was really white in other aspects except football.

Finally, Qin Tian waved his hand, "Okay, I'll go swimming. Finally, you just need to tell me how much money I got in the end. I trust you completely."

This made Jessica very angry.

The final result is of course that Reiberg agreed to the two sides to make a deal of 90,000 euros. At the same time, in order to stabilize other big-name players in the team, such as Kuranyi, Ozil, Boden, Pique, etc., a salary increase becomes an inevitable choice, but you must master a degree, otherwise it will cause a collapse. At the same time, Reiberg also tactfully told Sloane to tactfully sell some of the team's people who cannot play as the main players and have high salaries to exchange for some cheap and powerful players. Of course, the best thing is to get some free players from other teams, and it is better to transfer freely.

This made Sloka want to die, but it still made Sloka very happy to solve the contract renewal problem of Qin Tian and others. This made the team's winning lineup last season not dismantled, but a sudden news made Sloka very angry and even angry.

The cause of the incident was that Jeremy Jones made a big fuss when he was interviewed by Sports Pictures, and was very dissatisfied with his current lack of a stable main position in the team. He also said that although he just transferred to Schalke 04 last summer, he himself did not reject another transfer this summer because some foreign clubs have already expressed their invitation.

At the end of the interview, Jones said, "Schalke is a high-end club, but I don't want to lie. I think I have to join a club like Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, AC Milan or Manchester United. I definitely think it will be possible. If there are big clubs that want me, I hope Schalke won't create obstacles for me."

A glance caused a thousand waves, which not only made the club furious, but also made Schalke 04's fans unable to understand. Of course, Jones's previous club, Frankfurt fans gloat, congratulations to Schalke for gaining a big mouth and a "traitor" who is not in the team, etc.

Jones' unspoken behavior indeed reduced Sloane's impression of him to the lowest point. In addition, Jones had never returned home last season and waited for a bad past, which further strengthened Sloane's decision to sell people. Jones's days in the Blues can start counting down.

Sloka made a little noise, and many clubs came to the door with the smell. Many balls began to ask Jones about the price. After all, such a player who can play forward, winger and even midfielder, coupled with tireless running and strong body, is undoubtedly a talent that some teams urgently need.

While the clubs were making a bid, Sloane was taking his assistant on a flight to Paris. Since he had decided to let Jones go, he had to introduce a striker. After some measurement, Sloane fell in love with the Frenchman Louis Saha who currently plays for Manchester United.

Saha signed with the Red Devils in January 2004. After an injury-breaking season in 2005, he regained his outstanding form in the 2005-06 season, scoring 15 goals in 45 games, squeezing Dutch ace Van Nisstruy to the bench and regained a position in the French national team.

But the good times did not last long. With Saha's injury again, the Red Devils will no longer renew their contract after the contract expires this summer. According to the People, Manchester United discussed with Tottenham to exchange Berbatov in cash. Saha's current value is about 6 million pounds, which makes Saha feel very angry.

After mastering this information, Sloka felt that the opportunity had come. Although Saha was a glass man, he was undeniably healthy and had another sharp knife on the front line, which would be a good supplement to the team. He would reach out and pull him out, so he would definitely be able to recruit him.

The development of things was exactly the same as Sloka thought. After learning about Sloka's purpose, Saha had thought about it and simply proposed to guarantee the playing time, and agreed to join Schalke 04. As for the rest, he left it to his agent to talk to the club.

Three days later, major media in Germany and England reported that Schalke 04 received the news of Sachah for free. The next day, just as Qin Tian, ​​who was far away on the other side of the ocean, was walking around Chinatown with Michelle Tricheberg and Black Livery, Sloane, who had lost patience to Jones, sold it to the Premier League Blackpool team for 5 million. In the end, he did not realize the opponent's dream of being a wealthy family.

After having four forward players, Kuranyi, Falfan, Saha and Jeremy Mene, Sloane's eyes turned to Levin. At present, the Glasgow Rangers are very interested in this Danish striker, and the team's forward line has met Sloane's requirements. So Levin became the next player to leave Aotu. On June 26, after negotiations between the clubs of both sides, Levin transferred to the Rangers for 5.5 million, which made Qin Tian, ​​who received Levin's call, remain silent and could only send his final blessing to the big brother.

Schalke 04's transfer work has not yet ended. On July 1, the team's midfielder Hazardwag left the Blues and joined Bochum for 1 million. Six days later, the 29-year-old Dutch international Englar officially joined from the Eredivisie Twente team, and the two sides signed until June 2011.

At Englar's press conference, manager Muller believed that Englar had good developments in the club and the national team. The team had quoted prices last season, but was stranded because of the low price for the first time. Then Englar then played in the 2008 European Cup with the Netherlands and performed well. Despite being chased by other giants, he finally chose the Blue Miner, and the team welcomed his arrival.

On July 10, Schalke 04 made the final lineup repair. Uruguayan player Rodriguez left Schalke and transferred to the Portuguese powerhouse Sporting Lisbon for 5 million yuan. Then Sloka promoted three young players, goalkeeper Amsif, defenders Samburano and Konia from the second team, ensuring the team's roster number. At this point, Schalke 04's 2008 summer signing ended here.

Although Jones, Larson, Levin and others were sent away, Schalke 04 got strong players such as Falfan, Saha, and Englar. The transfer market this summer was only halfway through. Schalke 04's frequent moves attracted widespread attention from fans and the media.

In everyone's opinion, Sloane's goal of replenishing players is quite clear, solving the power of the striker, solving the team's instability factors, and the team's aging problems. The current new Schalke 04 will compete in the Bundesliga battlefield and the European battlefield with young people such as Qin Tian and Ozil as the core in the new season.

The media in Schalke area expressed their optimism about the team's future for the new season and believed that under the leadership of Sloane, Schalke 04 will advance to a new peak.
