Chapter 506: Go and Stay
Just after Mackay and Hoeness talked, the next day, a piece of news appeared in the media.
"Roy Mackay could leave Bayern Munich!"
In the text of the report, the reporter mentioned what he said about it.
“…… After being substituted against Hannover 96, Roy Mackay's partnership with Bayern Munich basically ended there. Magath and Mackay are at odds, and Hoeness does not show support for Mackay. It is said that Mackay had a phone call with Hoeness asking the club to support him, but the answer he received was that he could leave at any time! Mackay is very sad about this, and he is looking for a way to leave......"
At a glance, it is clear that this news is the public relations result of Ma Kai's agent Yang Sen.
Because the fault of Mackay's departure was blamed on Bayern Munich FC in the article, if this was Bayern Munich FC's PR, it would be absolutely impossible for a reporter to write like this.
When Mackay wants to leave, he will give people the impression that Bayern Munich forced me away, not that I wanted to go.
He hopes to be able to get the support of public opinion.
But...... Looking at the fans of Bayern Munich who are enthusiastically discussing Glory's hat-trick against Hannover 96, no one cares if he will go or not...... I knew that he had failed.
The relationship between the new and the old will always be like this.

Hoeness certainly knew what was going on with the report, but he didn't have time to pay attention to Mackay and his agent right now.
There is something more important than this, and that is to renew the contract with Rongguang.
He has been in contact with Glory's agent, Debola, and the contract renewal negotiations for Glory have never stopped.
However, because of the differences between the two sides, there has been no substantive progress.
And now, Hoeness intends to accelerate.
To this end, he decided to make huge concessions.
※※※
After a day of training, Glory arrives in the parking lot, where he finds Debora too.
However, he was not surprised, because Debora had come to negotiate a contract extension for him.
"Did you drive?" He asked.
Debora shook her head: "No." I thought I could take your car back, just right. ”
Rongguang nodded and opened the car door: "Get in the car." ”
Lucas had already bought himself a sleek Ferrari cabriolet – in keeping with his usual style – so he didn't have to follow the glory anymore.
After getting into the car, Debora fastened her seat belt, and then watched Rongguang skillfully start the car and slowly drive the car out of the training base.
"Hoeness is full of sincerity this time." On the way, Debola took the initiative to talk about the progress of his contract extension negotiations with Hoeness.
"How?"
"He said that as long as we don't insist on the breach of contract clause, he is willing to agree to any conditions."
Glory smiled. That's what he and Debora were waiting for.
At the beginning, in fact, the two of them already knew that it was impossible to continue to insist on the contract repudiation clause, and Bayern Munich would never let them write the contract repudiation into the contract again.
It was already an extra blessing for the football emperor to be able to make an exception for them in the first place, but you can't expect the same good thing to happen again, right?
As they later learned, Rong Guang was the only Bayern Munich team with a contract break clause, and no one else, no matter who it was, no matter how big a star was, didn't say anything about breaking the contract.
This shows how eager Bayern Munich was to sign Glory and how sincere it was.
Of course, signing Glory didn't make them regret it.
Since the breach of contract clause cannot be maintained, what needs to be considered is how to squeeze the residual value of this clause once in the future.
How to use the breach of contract clause to get the best out of him.
That's what Debora was going to do.
That's why I kept biting my bite and didn't let go, insisting on writing the contract renewal money into the contract renewal.
The two sides froze because of this.
Until now, Mackay has clashed with Magath because of his poor performance in the team, and his departure is inevitable.
Then the renewal of Glory's contract will be solved.
Debola's purpose was also achieved. Hoeness finally bowed his head.
Debora was quite accomplished to be able to beat such a difficult figure who was notoriously difficult in German football, so when she said this, she naturally brought a smile to her face.
"Okay, then talk to them about the price." Rongguang said.
He never felt embarrassed when he asked for money.

For Hoeness, this may be his busiest time.
Because there is definitely more than one honor for the person who wants to renew the contract.
In addition, Ballack, the core of the team's midfield, is also to be left by the club.
However, it is also a contract extension, and Hoeness's attitude is completely different.
To give Rongguang this renewal contract, he gave it willingly.
To Barak, he was a little reluctant.
Because glory can bring tangible benefits to Bayern Munich, Hoeness is sure of that.
But Barak...... Hoeness isn't quite sure if he's the player Bayern Munich need.
Because there have always been contradictions between the two sides.
It's not just Ballack and the club, it's Ballack and him personally.
Until now, Hoeness and Balak were not friends. Hoeness once said, "I don't know where his parents live; I don't know what kind of education he received; I don't know what his friend is like; I know too little about Barak. ”
In fact, Ballack almost left Bayern Munich in the summer of 2004, when he had only been with Bayern Munich for two seasons.
And all this because of the glory.
It is the strong rise of Glory in Werder Bremen, and in the domestic league, Bayern Munich is left behind by Werder Bremen, where Glory is located. Glory's hat-trick at the Stadio Olimpico completely shattered Bayern Munich's hopes of winning the title. That match made Glory a big hit, but it put Ballack under a lot of pressure.
Because when it comes to losing, people think that it is Ballack's responsibility because "he didn't take on the responsibility of leading the team forward, he was far from Effen Bogbi." ”
Such criticism made Barak unhappy. At Bayern Munich, losing two games in a row is a big deal, and the scapegoating players will be thrown out like a hot potato to be criticized.
At that time, his agent Becker had already negotiated everything with FC Barcelona and also had a showdown with FC Bayern Munich. However, Bayern Munich eventually rejected the offer, telling Ballack's agent and FC Barcelona that Ballack was not for sale at Bayern Munich.
This is not for sale, not to say how important Ballack is to Bayern Munich, but because as the flag and core of German football, Bayern Munich will never allow Ballack to leave Bayern Munich before the 2006 World Cup on his home turf. This has never happened in Bayern Munich's history.
So Bayern Munich forced Ballack to stay at that time, but they did not offer Ballack a new contract.
This is a bit of a surprise.
But that's what happened.
Because Hoeness is a little unsure whether Ballack is a good fit for Bayern Munich.
There is one detail that may epitomize this contradiction.
In the German national team, since Klinsmann took over the team, he took the captain's armband off Kahn's arm and gave it to Ballack. So in the German national team, Ballack is the captain of the team, the new leader. But at Bayern Munich, it's business as usual, and Kahn is still the captain.
So what you see is often two different Baraks.
One is the captain of the national team, who can always give hope to the fans and lead the German team forward.
The other is the Bayern Munich star, who always disappoints the fans a little. In the first two seasons, a player like Mackay, who had not contributed much to the club, was able to get cheers from the fans. Now the fans chanted for glory, but the Bayern Munich fans rarely chanted Ballack's name. Die-hard fans of the club always want to see players who are passionate about their team, but Ballack is not that kind of person, he seems too shy. People who like Barak will say, "He's simple." Those who didn't like Barak said, "He doesn't want to be our hero." ”
It is precisely because of this contradiction that Bayern Munich has not decided whether to renew Ballack's contract.
Until now. Next summer, Ballack's contract expires, and according to FIFA rules, players will not be able to contact other teams until January 1, 2006, but after that time, they will be free to decide where to go.
If Bayern Munich really wants to keep Ballack, they must give Ballack a contract extension now, otherwise once January 1 next year, Ballack can contact any team, and Bayern Munich not only can't stop it, but when the contract expires at the end of the day, they won't get a penny!
Ballack re-proved his worth in the Confederations Cup because of his impressive performances, which made Hoeness change his attitude.
Coupled with the recent renewal of Rongguang's contract, he plans to get it done together with Rongguang's renewal.
If these two announcements can be made at the club's annual general meeting in mid-November this year, I believe it will be my greatest credit.
Hoeness intends to offer Ballack a four-year, €46 million, which would set a record for the club's highest annual salary.
And he intends to agree to the request of Glory's agent Debora to refer to this standard, which means that Glory will never be able to take a contract that exceeds this annual salary, but if it is close to this annual salary level, he can still accept it - as long as they promise to give up the damn 50 million contract breaking money.
As soon as he thought about it, Hoeness regretted his decision.
How did you think that a contract break of 50 million euros would stop Glory from leaving the team?
Now it seems that he should have raised that figure to 100 million euros in the first place!
He hopes the contract renewals of the two men will be finalised before the club's annual general meeting on November 14.
