Chapter 398 Encounter with Magath

Ai Huan actually booked tickets for all matches between Spain and Germany a long time ago. At the level of the national team, Ai Huan only likes the strong German team. For many years, I almost regarded myself as half-Spanish, so I also liked Spain by the way.

But even so, he still insisted on sticking to the German team in the group stage without hesitation, and came to the stadium early on the day of their game against Australia.

There are already huge crowds of people outside the stadium, and everyone is holding banknotes to buy tickets. Although the World Cup in South Africa nominally requires real-name entry, the reality is that as long as you have a ticket, everything is fine. Anyway, there are not so many People can communicate with every fan who speaks various accents. Rather than wasting time, it is better to just turn one eye and close the other.

Therefore, buying and selling tickets is very common. Ai Huanding’s other set of tickets for the Spanish game is cheaper than Pierre. He has already gone there anyway, and how to deal with the tickets is his business.

Ai Huan followed the signs and walked all the way to the entrance of the stadium. The security at the gate checked him very carefully before letting him in.Ai Huan didn't think about anything else and walked inside with his head down.The organizing committee of the World Cup in South Africa was a bit chaotic, and many tasks were not done very meticulously. For example, although the seat number was clearly written on the ticket, there was no corresponding sign in the stadium, which made Ai Huan a little dizzy .

While looking around, someone suddenly said to himself naturally, "How do you get to the G stand? Why is the venue in this place so strange?"

Ai Huan replied without answering, "I was looking for Stand G again, but I only found Stand F, which should be either on the left or on the right."

The voice immediately asked in surprise, "Are you a German fan too? Do you know Lu?"

Ai Huan was also taken aback for a moment, he didn't even know that he was speaking German just now, so it turned out that he had learned German without knowing it, which was really a surprise.

"I just came here too," Ai Huan turned around to explain, but when he turned around, he saw an old man in good spirits standing behind him. This man had gray hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but no matter what he looked at It looks like a worker, but Ai Huan knows this person. He is the current head coach of Schalke 04, Felix Magath.

"It turned out to be you, sir." Ai Huan didn't expect to meet Magath here and couldn't help smiling.

Magath also put all his energy into looking for the G stand just now, and now he noticed the young man standing in front of him, but it took less than a second for him to say in surprise, "Ai Huan, are you Ai Huan! That's great, I didn't expect that we would meet here." As he spoke, he extended his hand enthusiastically, and the two met for the first time in South Africa.

Magath was very famous when he was a player. After retiring, he also devoted himself to coaching and became one of the well-known representatives of iron-handed coaches.

Neither of the two of them expected to meet here, but since they met, they naturally wouldn't give up this opportunity easily. There are so many topics that we can talk about.They turned around twice and finally saw the sign of the G stand, so they entered the stadium, but they were not in a hurry to go back to their seats and sit down, but continued to chat.

"Ai Huan, do you know? You are one of the players I am most optimistic about so far. I have already made an offer for you through the team, and I hope you can join our team." Magath has a very direct He spoke very bluntly, without hesitation at all, absolutely without the secretiveness of others.

Ai Huan was a little embarrassed about this topic, so he said, "I handed over the transfer to my agent. He told me a little bit, but I haven't discussed the specifics with him yet."

"Your agent asks every club that is interested in you three questions. What is the club's goal? Who is the team prepared for? What is the style of play?"

"I asked him to bring those up." Ai Huan smiled slightly, "I'm really interested in this, and I don't want to make the same mistakes I made before. I want to do something."

When Magath heard this, he also became energetic, "Ai Huan can say that no one will officially answer your manager's question, because it is suspected of leaking secrets. Who wants to say everything about their own style of play?" come out?"

"Ah?" Ai Huan was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that he was right. It seemed that he and Pierre were a little dizzy about this matter.

Magath smiled slightly and continued, "But today I want to make an exception and tell you my true thoughts. My goal is very simple, which is to conquer Europe. I want to make Schalke 04 stand on top of Europe, and it is precisely because of this that we I have already prepared 8000 million transfer funds, and I am going to do a big job. As for who they are, I dare not say more, because many people are still in contact, and some people can’t be bought with money. It needs a relatively long negotiation process, but I can assure you that the team's midfield is enough to support your needs, and I will definitely not play blitz."

Ai Huan froze for a moment, but straightened his body. In fact, he looked down on blitzkrieg. That style of play is only used when there is no other way. If someone tells him that he will use this style of play as his team If it is the main method of tactics, then he will definitely sneer and destroy that club directly.

"We can discuss the style of play, and we can arrange it again, but I still prefer total defense. The whole team repeatedly pulls up and down, breaks up the opponent's defense and scores goals." Magath's speech speed is getting faster and faster. , Speaking of this, he suddenly said as if he had made up his mind, "I can tell you a few names, and you will know my determination. Metzelder, Kyriakos, Manuel, Raul."

"Who? Raul?" Ai Huan froze for a moment, then looked at Magath in astonishment, "Which Raul?"

Magath smiled proudly, "Of course it's Raul, the king of Real Madrid! The style of play I want to complete must have a few good players around you, who can grab points or keep up with you, Falcao, Raúl is one of the candidates I am ready for. And I know you are going back to the national team, so you have to be prepared for that."

"Are you even willing to let me return to China to compete?"

"Of course, don't you know there is another Chinese in my team? Don't you know Gao Junmin?"
