Chapter 509 Two Renewal Contracts
"Michael, are you really going to accept this contract from Bayern Munich?" The agent, Becker, looked at Barak with some confusion.
"Of course not, unless they shorten my contract." Barak said.
"That's not the point, Michal. Are you saying that if Bayern Munich agrees to a shorter contract, you sign it? ”
"Why not?" Barak asked rhetorically.
"What's wrong, Michael? Aren't you planning to play abroad? Go to Real Madrid, Barcelona, or the Premier League's giants......" As Ballack's agent, Becker can be said to be the closest person to him in addition to Ballack's relatives, but he doesn't know what to do overnight, Ballack's mind changed.
"Michael. Can I win the Champions League if I go abroad? Barak asked rhetorically.
Becker was stunned for a moment: "I can't guarantee it, but I think it must be better than your chances at Bayern Munich." ”
"I'm not quite sure about that right now, Michael."
Becker could easily guess what Barak was saying.
"Is it because of Rong's joining?" He asked.
Barak nodded: "In that kid, I see hope. Maybe we really have hope of winning the Champions League? ”
Becker didn't understand why Barak would be so optimistic about Glory: "What's wrong with you, Michael? Did Hoeness tell you anything? ”
"No, no, I haven't spoken to Hoeness alone. I just think...... I'm thirty years old in half a year, Michael. When the time comes, I'll move out, go to a new team, and start all over again. This transfer is probably my last chance and the last chance to win the Champions League. ”
"Yes, that's why we have to be cautious." Becker said. "This is the last opportunity of your career, and if you don't get out this time, then you won't be able to get out in the future."
"What is the purpose of going out? It's about winning the Champions League. Barak said.
"Isn't it also because of your conflict with Hoeness?"
'I'm not friends with him and I do have conflicts, but I think in front of the Champions League winners, I can let it go. At the very least, they gave me the highest salary ever, and it was a bit of a sign of their respect for me. Barak said.
Becker looked at Barak, who said this: "No, Hoeness didn't say anything to you. But you must have talked to whom about something. Who is it, Michaal? ”
"Rong." Barak didn't hide anything from his agent.
"Rong?" Becker was surprised, and with what he knew about the Chinese, he didn't think that Rongguang was the kind of person who could convince Barak with his three-inch tongue.
"Well, we talked and then I decided to stay at Bayern Munich." Barak said to Becker.
"Just because you think staying here gives you more chances of winning the Champions League?"
Barak nodded.
"But it's also possible that you won't get it. So it's a gamble. ”
"Playing abroad is also a gamble." Barak said.
Becker opened his mouth, speechless.
Because Ballack is right, staying at Bayern Munich and playing abroad is a gamble.
It's just that at that time, the two of them felt that in addition to having the opportunity to win the Champions League, playing abroad would also be able to stay away from Hoeness and leave the sad place of Munich.
But now, it seems, Ballack really thinks that he has a good chance of winning the Champions League at Bayern Munich, so much so that he is willing to put up with Hoeness for it and put up with the harassment of the Munich media.
Becker couldn't believe that the Chinese really had such an ability to change Barak's mind?
But whether he believed it or not, Barak looked like he had made up his mind.
"Have you really decided, Michaal?"
Ballack nodded: "Yes, I decided, I am willing to stay for another two seasons." I'm 32 years old after two seasons, and if I'm in good form by then, I'll have one more chance. ”
This decision made Becker somewhat acceptable.
At least it's better than a four-year contract – Hoeness was offered a four-year contract, and after four years, Ballack will be 34 years old and can almost retire at Bayern Munich.
"Okay, I'll go talk to Hoeness. But don't get your hopes up. ”
Barak smiled, "Then I'll trouble you, Michael, I know you can do it." ”
"Don't stress me too much!"
Becker complained.
※※※
Hoeness did not expect Ballack to directly accept the four-year, 36 million euro contract he offered, but to bargain.
He only wants to renew his contract with Bayern Munich for two years.
It seems that he still wants to play abroad......
Hoeness did not find Barak's request unacceptable.
Originally, Ballack was given this contract extension, mainly because Ballack performed well in the Confederations Cup and put huge pressure on the club.
Before next summer's World Cup on home soil, if Bayern Munich lets Ballack go like this, it will inevitably make the media say that Bayern Munich has driven away the flag of German football, which is not a good thing for the image of Bayern Munich club.
Anyway, Bayern Munich wants Ballack to stay at Bayern Munich, at least before the World Cup, and there is no news that he will play in other teams next season.
In order to avoid such a situation, Bayern Munich will have to offer Ballack a new contract before his contract expires and want Ballack to sign him.
But as for how long the contract will be, Hoeness has no specific requirements.
Even if it was a year before Barak, it didn't matter.
Anyway, after the German World Cup is over, Balak will leave whenever he likes.
So Ballack wants a two-year contract, and Hoeness doesn't think there's anything wrong with that.
If he wants a two-year contract, then give him a two-year contract.
He is not worried that after Ballack is gone, Bayern Munich will be without a core in the midfield. First of all, Bayern Munich is definitely not a team that will fall into a trough because it has left a certain core; Secondly, after the renewal of the contract between Glory and Bayern Munich, Hoeness is not worried about the lack of a core at all. Barack is gone, and we are still honored!
In this way, Bayern Munich agreed to Ballack's request for a two-year contract.
※※※
"I think the fact that they were able to agree to a two-year contract shows that they don't really care about you, Michal. Are you going to stay on a team like that? Becker has not given up on the idea of persuading Ballack to leave Bayern Munich.
If Ballack continues to stay at Bayern Munich, from the agent's point of view, it will not be conducive to him making more money. At the same time, as a friend of Ballack, Becker also did not want Ballack to stay in the team that had never really embraced him.
But Barak was very resolute this time.
"I've seriously thought about it, Michael. It's been so many days, and I've never had to change my mind. I believe that kid, I'll give him another two years. ”
Becker sighed, Balak is a very stubborn person, once he makes a decision, he will not change it, this point, he knows very well as Balak's agent.
"Well, hopefully you're right this time......"
※※※
Bayern Munich agreed to Ballack's two-year contract of 18 million euros over two years, and Ballack remains the highest annual salary owner in the club's history.
At the same time, Rongguang also accepted the contract extension offered by Bayern Munich.
In this contract, there is no limit of 50 million euros for breaking the contract, and during the four-year contract period, other teams can only offer a sky-high price that Bayern Munich cannot refuse. And Bayern Munich FC is not one of those other Bundesliga clubs who have not seen the market, and the general high price cannot scare them.
This reassures Hoeness.
Whether the glory will go away or not is entirely up to you.
And if Rongguang performs well and offers a raise, then the contract period will be further extended.
If it goes on like this, it can be guaranteed that the most golden morale of the glorious career will be spent at Bayern Munich.
You must know that Lu Dao Rongguang is still young, only twenty years old.
Such an outstanding young man belongs to Bayern Munich so completely.
Hoeness is satisfied with his work, even ...... Proud.
Glory was also paid a lot of money.
With an annual salary of 5 million euros after tax, he became the second-highest player in Bayern Munich's team.
In addition, this contract will also make his position in the Bayern Munich team even more important.
It can be said that although Rong Guang has only played for Bayern Munich for less than two months, he has become the second star in the Bayern Munich team, second only to Ballack in terms of status.
But in terms of fan popularity, he has long surpassed Ballack.
So if you just look at the salary, Rongguang is the second star in the Bayern Munich team. But if you look at the popularity among the fans, Rongguang may already be the number one star of Bayern Munich.
※※※
Rongguang and Barak signed a new contract in two days at Hoeness's office.
Glory signed first, Barack signed later.
After Glory signed the contract, Hoeness gave Glory the Parker pen he signed.
"A small gift, quite memorable." Hoeness said with a smile.
Hoeness was very happy to be able to get rid of the contract breaker.
As for Balak, Hoeness's attitude is very formulaic.
Although he was also smiling, he was not enthusiastic.
Barak didn't care about his superficial efforts, signed and left with Becker.
He never hid his attitude towards Hoeness, just as Hoeness did not hide his attitude towards himself.
For a manager who only starts from the perspective of the club's interests, in the eyes of some players, it is natural to feel a little lacking in human touch.
Walking out of the club's office building, the two of them stood in the bright sun, and Michael Becker said to Ballack: "I still hope you don't regret your decision today, Michal. ”
Ballack turned his head to look in the direction of the training ground, it was the afternoon break, the temperature was still a little high, the sun was shining, and even a little hot.
He remembered what he had seen through the huge floor-to-ceiling window of Hoeness's office when he had signed a new contract.
On the first-team training ground, there is a figure running and training under the scorching sun.
That person is glory.
While everyone was resting, he was still the only one training there.
"I'm going to give it my all and then ...... I won't regret it. He said.
If I regret it, it must be that I didn't try hard enough......
In his heart, Barak said.
