Wang Ai, who is far away in Tübingen, Germany, did not think too much about the possible complicated entanglements of the National Youth and National Youth League. He is very different from the ordinary players who are retained. He has many things of his own. After three days of New Year's holiday in 2002
, Wang Ai, who stayed in the club, had to continue going to school and training at the same time. In fact, after transferring his student status to Tübingen, Ozil and Mertesacker's schools had not yet had a holiday after the winter break began, and Tubingen
Most members of the Bingen Youth are very young students. Therefore, except that the entire team does not need to play games, it is basically the same as before the winter break. It was not until the first weekend of the new year passed and schools were on vacation that the players
Really start your winter break.
As the operations of a series of clubs were basically completed under the joint efforts of several people, the clubs also began to have holidays. Xu Genbao was thinking about his football school and wanted to return to China for a long time. Just when Wang Ai and others were packing their luggage and preparing to leave.
, an unexpected guest came to the door.
Klaus Schlapner!
When the smiling fat German knocked on the door of Wang Ai's house, Xu Genbao rushed forward and said in skillful German: "Klaus, how are you?"
Schlapner was obviously stunned. Ten years ago in China, he could only communicate with Xu Genbao through a translator. He didn't expect that Xu Genbao's German would become so good in just six months.
The two old friends chatted in German enthusiastically and quickly. Wang Ai invited Schlapner into the room and showed enough respect to this famous Chinese first foreign coach, even Huang Xin.
! Even though Schlappner does not have any position now, he is just an ordinary football insider in Germany.
How much do Chinese people like Schlappner? It is difficult for people who have not experienced that era to imagine, and it is also unmatched by successive foreign coaches. The CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which had not yet collapsed at the time, specifically used him as the material. Produced a cross talk! Put a piece of Schlapner's hair up for auction! Even though this is a work of art, it can be seen that the Chinese people like him. This is a treatment that Milu did not have later. And Schlapner They also have very sincere feelings for China, which determines the good relationship between the two parties. Even though Schlappner later dismissed get out of class, it was only through his communication and recommendation that Yang Chen and Xie Hui had the opportunity to land in Germany.
Speaking of Schlappner's good relationship with Chinese football, there are actually many reasons.
A major historical background is that when Schlappner came to China, it was just after the merger of Germany and Germany. During the merger process, China, as one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, helped a lot. At that time, almost the whole world opposed it.
The merger of the two Germanys, especially in European countries. Facing the protesters in East Germany, Mrs. Thatcher even publicly asked Gorbachev to send troops to suppress them on TV: "Where are your tanks? Where are your troops? East Germany cannot be allowed to
Germany is in chaos!" Not to mention how embarrassing it is for this patron saint of "liberal democracy" to take off all the cloak of freedom and democracy. The key is that European and American countries are afraid that after the merger of the two Germanys, the three virtues will rise. And China's
The attitude is impartial: no support, no opposition. As long as the German people support it, we will support it... So in addition to thanking Gorbachev for allowing the reunification of the motherland, the Germans also have a good impression of China, at least
China didn't stop him and just said a few words. So the Germans, including Schlappner, at least had a very good impression of China during this period.
At the same time, Schlapner himself is not a particularly brilliant coach in Germany. He just led a Bundesliga team to the Bundesliga and has been the head coach of Bundesliga and Bundesliga clubs for a long time. So he is not too
What a proud capital, and he himself is a good-tempered person. He is very tolerant of the leaders at the Football Management Center who make irresponsible remarks and point fingers, so he has a good relationship with the Chinese Football Association officials. At the same time, he is a coach.
He was very meticulous in his guidance and guidance to the players, paying attention to every detail, so the Chinese football players also liked him very much. Even Xu Genbao, the assistant coach of the national team at the time, learned a lot from him.
In addition, Schlappner came to China to coach because of the recommendation and invitation of Volkswagen's investment in China, which both China and Germany attached great importance to at the time. This means that Schlappner is not only a simple football coach, but also a leapfrogger.
As a sports person in the economic and political fields, even if he did not deliberately cross over, the Football Association's respect for him is different from that of the foreign coaches in the future.
Even the 84 national juniors also benefited from Schlappner! The training camp and warm-up in Germany were all Schlappner's fault. When Gao Hongbo went to Germany to study as a coach, it was also Schlappner's fault. Yes.
In the relationship between Chinese football and German football after the 1990s, almost everything has the shadow of Schlappner. He is an important link and matchmaker between Chinese football and German football, and has great influence on the development of Chinese football.
He has a role that cannot be replaced by any other foreign coach, including Milu!
Therefore, Wang Ai respects this fat old German man.
After Xu Genbao and Schlappner exchanged pleasantries, Schlappner said to Wang Ai with the usual German bluntness: "Dr. Wang, I hope to become your agent."
Wang Ai was stunned. He didn't expect this to happen. At the previous stage, he had entrusted Huang Xin and Leoni to negotiate advertising contracts with him. He planned to enter the German Second Division before officially getting involved in the field of advertising endorsements. Unexpectedly,
, Schlapner actually took the initiative to come to the door today and raised this issue.
After Schlappner helped Yang Chen and Xie Hui move to Germany, he was also their agent. Schlappner is almost 60 this year, and it would be a bit tiring to be a head coach again, but an old man also has to have a job and a share.
Income. Unfortunately, the commercial value of these two Chinese players in Germany is not high, so Schlapner can only get a little agent's commission from their transfer fees, and the advertising endorsements are relatively small. And Yang Chen is in China
Schlappner does not get a cut of the advertising endorsements.
Thinking about it this way, it is natural for Schlapner to come to Wang Ai to be his agent. Obviously, Wang Ai's commercial value is much higher than that of Yang Chen and Xie Hui. One is that Wang Ai is young and has great growth potential.
At just 14 years old, he was able to lead the team to win the World Cup at the age of 17, and his future development is limitless; secondly, because Wang Ai is a PhD candidate at the University of Tübingen! Not only in China, but also in Germany, this is the only one!
It has quite abundant resources. Especially when the German Football Association is planning to force professional players to graduate from college or have a professional skill, this is very in line with the development direction of commercial football. From the perspective of UEFA, over the years, European football has
The Football Federation and even the World Football Federation are working hard to turn football into a gentleman's game. So, is there any player more "gentleman" than a doctorate player? It's just because Wang Ai is currently in a low-level league that he is not widely known
Attention, then when the Tübingen youth began to attract attention as the hegemon of the Southern Regional League, Wang Ai's news value and economic value are just around the corner!
Although Schlappner does not have many contacts in the business field, he is a senior football person, so he is very keenly aware that this young Chinese player in the regional league is a resource-rich treasure!
