PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

As the general manager of the Leverkusen Club, Renel Kalmond, known as the "fat manager", has been very upset recently, so that he is not in the mood to accompany his beloved girlfriend Sylvia to the beach to enjoy the summer sun and the breath of the sea, nor is he in the mood to reduce his weight, which has reached 135 kilograms.

There are two main reasons why Kalmond is so busy this summer. One is that Bayern Munich, who was empty last season, suddenly took action after the transfer door opened, forcibly packed and poached two pillars of Leverkusen's midfielder at an ultra-low price of 8 million US dollars - Brazilian Ze Roberto and German local rising star Torsten Flins!

Hones' poaching action caused the "pharmaceutical factory" to lose two absolute main players and offensive engines, forcing Kalmond to spend time looking for qualified stand-ups for both in the transfer market to make up for the negative impact of Ze Roberto and Flins' departure on Leverkusen, allowing the team to go further based on the Sanya king last season, win a heavyweight championship trophy in the new season, and complete the transformation from a domestic powerhouse to a top-level team.

No matter how outstanding Leverkusen has performed on all fronts in recent seasons, it is always an indisputable fact that the pharmaceutical factory lacks heavyweight championship trophy in the honor room. It is precisely for this reason that Leverkusen has never been able to take off the hat of a pseudo-strong team and join the ranks of wealthy clubs.

This is like the Chelsea team in Zhuang Mingge's previous life. Although the Blues won the Premier League championship twice under Mourinho's command, they also fought hard with Barcelona and other giants in the Champions League. However, it was not until Di Matteo led Chelsea to win the Big Ear Cup that the Blues were accepted by people and officially became one of the top giants.

The same is true for Valencia at the turn of the century and Manchester City after the Abu Dhabi consortium took over. Although they have won many honors, they have not been able to take off the Big Ear Cup and can only be regarded as a strong team or a pseudo-strong team with the strength to disrupt the situation. There is still a long way to go to win the title of a wealthy family.

Therefore, the impact of Leverkusen's loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League final last season on them was undoubtedly a huge one. Because the pharmaceutical factory lost not only a Champions League champion and a lot of bonus income, but also a key that can allow them to enter top giant clubs in one fell swoop!

Moreover, Leverkusen is not even as good as the clubs mentioned before, such as Valencia and Manchester City, which have been mentioned before, so it has been repeatedly poached by Bayern. After all, a club that has hope to win the championship every year but misses the championship trophy every year can only be regarded as a pseudo-strong team at best, and to be nice, it is just a local tycoon. Therefore, players with some ambitions and strength will not regard such a club as the ultimate goal of their career, and will only regard Leverkusen as a springboard to enter the giants.

As the manager of Leverkusen, Kalmond naturally would not be satisfied with this situation. He has always hoped to see Leverkusen be on par with Bayern, rather than becoming a talent reserve base for Bayern, and that is the kind of person who can be suppressed by the other party at will...

The second reason that made Karmond upset was the unexpected bankruptcy of the Bundesliga broadcaster Kirch Group. Since Kirch Group bought out the right to broadcast the Bundesliga from 1999 to 2004, when the group announced bankruptcy in April this year, the Bundesliga, which was tragically affected, ushered in an unprecedented economic crisis!

You should know that before the announcement of bankruptcy, the Kirch Group had already owed a broadcast fee of up to 800 million euros in a total of 800 million euros. With the sudden bankruptcy of Kirch Group, this huge broadcast fee disappeared overnight. Under the influence of this shock wave, many small and medium-sized German clubs are on the verge of bankruptcy because the TV fee of more than 300 million euros paid to the Bundesliga every year is the basis for their survival. For many big clubs, the TV fee also accounts for a large part of their club's revenue, so they have not survived this wave. Leverkusen, supported by Bayer Group, is one of them.

Faced with the dilemma of a sharp decline in fiscal revenue and the departure of several main players (Zeroberto and Flins left the team, and the main scorer Kirsten was about to retire), Carlmond had to rack his brains to use the inadequate transfer budget in his hands to strengthen the team. Therefore, when he learned that Zhuang Mingge, the chairman of the Fiorentine, came to Leverkusen to discuss this transfer for the main central defender Lucio in their team, Carlmond was overjoyed and thought that there was finally a big rich man who had taken the opportunity to bite a piece of meat from the opponent, so as to obtain enough funds to upgrade the team's lineup.

The reason why Carlmond thinks this is very simple, that is, because Zhuang Mingge himself has huge wealth and Florence's vigorous development of football markets around the world over the years, making Purple Lily one of the few clubs in the entire European football world that has not been affected by the economic situation, and its financial situation is naturally much better than most ball clubs. According to data released by Deloitte Accounting Firm, Florence's revenue in the past year has reached an astonishing 200 million euros, which is the data obtained when Purple Lily is empty all year round.

Therefore, it is natural that it is understandable that Carmond, who is short of money, wants to take this opportunity to kill this big fat sheep in Florence.

However, Kalmond obviously forgot a very important point, that is, the other party is not a stupid person like Berezovsky and Kranioti who are rich in money. Whether he wants to be regarded as a fat sheep is really an unknown.

"Welcome to you, Chairman Corleon." Carlmond said diligently while welcomed Zhuang Mingge into his office, "I heard that you came to us this time to get our main defender Lucio. I wonder if this news is correct?"
