While Zorc likes to laugh, Watzke is usually more serious.
But now he is smiling.
The hand holding Su Yun kept shaking and shaking. The smile on his face never disappeared from the moment he entered the stadium.
It’s really because I’m so happy now.
"Same joy. Chairman Watzke, this is our Dortmund's honor."
"Yes, it is our Dortmund's honor."
Watzke is happy.
It was not an ordinary joy. Watzke was truly appointed at the critical moment and took over the chairmanship of Dortmund when Dortmund was in its most difficult time. When Watzke became the chairman of Dortmund, it was the time when Dortmund was facing a bankruptcy crisis.
The original Dortmund senior management took the blame and resigned.
At this time, Watzke took office. He had a heavy burden on him.
At first, he still wanted to adopt the model of large investment and large income.
But he soon realized this was wrong.
At the same time, Dortmund did not have the strength to allow him to invest heavily. Therefore, he could only choose another development model.
In the four years since he became the chairman of Dortmund, he has really worked hard. In three years, Dortmund slowly got rid of the impact of the economic crisis.
If it weren't for Watzke's three years of management, they wouldn't have been able to invite Su Yun last summer even if they really wanted to.
Because in the most difficult years of 2005, 2006, and 2007, Dortmund couldn't even pay wages.
It can only be a loan.
Borrow money to pay wages.
Fortunately, after three years of cutting back on food and clothing, Dortmund has passed the most difficult period. Last summer, they also had the capital to invite Su Yun.
If they are so difficult that they can't even pay wages, then no matter how much Su Yun appreciates Dortmund's development prospects and the development plans of Watzk and Zorc, he will not go to Dortmund.
But in 2008, after three years of operation by Watzke, the economy was already much better.
Taking over the task at a critical moment, Watzke was considered very successful.
Went through the most difficult time.
From being on the verge of bankruptcy, to being able to survive without borrowing in 2008 is already a great achievement in itself.
Now it is even more successful.
Four years of hard work and courage, and the adventure of inviting Su Yun last summer, now seems worth it and a great success.
What a success.
As Dortmund's performance improved this season, especially when they won the Bundesliga championship, the first thing to react was the stock market. Dortmund's stock price had some fluctuations at the beginning of the season, but it has risen steadily during the season.
Before this game it was already 2.3 euros.
This is several times higher than last April.
At the worst time in April last year, Dortmund's stock price dropped to 0.6. Now it has risen to 2.3 euros. This shows the trust of Dortmund fans in Dortmund.
Four times.
And Watzke believes stock prices will continue to rise.
Not only the stock price, but also the price of the players. The players Dortmund currently have on the field did not cost much in total when they were introduced.
Except for Weidenfeller and Kyle, two old players, plus Blaszczykovski came to Dortmund last season. Then the remaining players were brought to Dortmund by Su Yun this season.
Among them, Williams and Mata were transferred by you, Shaheen and Schmelzer were both from the Dortmund youth training. And Reus, Grosskreutz combined for a total of 300,000, Owo Moira,
Hummels spent around 5 million euros.
Cavani is worth more than eight million euros.
In total, it cost 14 million euros.
But look at the current team's lineup.
In the net worth list on the German website, the net worth of these people has increased significantly.
Except Cavani.
Cavani's worth has not increased much and is now only 9 million euros.
The top gainer is Royce.
When he came to Dortmund, his transfer fee was 80,000 euros. And they also adopted this transfer fee, thinking that Reus was worth 80,000 euros.
One season later, Royce's worth has reached four million euros.
It has increased a full fifty times.
Also like Mata, when he first came to Dortmund, his worth was 1.6 million euros.
Although Mata has been playing in the Spanish second division, he performed well in the Spanish second division, so he was worth 1.6 million euros. But at the end of this season, it had reached 8 million euros.
Mata has nine goals and 13 assists for Dortmund this season.
And Shaheen.
Last summer, Shaheen was worth 2.1 million euros, but now Shaheen's worth has reached 7.7 million euros.
The total value of all Dortmund players at the beginning of the season was only about 37 million euros. Williams alone was worth 17 million euros and Cavani was worth 8 million euros.
The total value of other players is 12 million euros.
But now that the season is coming to an end, the total value of Dortmund players has reached 76 million euros. It has more than doubled.
This is Dortmund's wealth.
Happy.
excited.
It's all in Watzk's face.
Watzke was followed by Dortmund senior officials, all of whom were beaming with joy. A Bundesliga championship cannot actually completely rid Dortmund of its economic problems.
Dortmund is still not financially well off now.
There are many questions.
It is still impossible to carry out transfers worth tens of millions of euros like in the early 21st century.
But this Bundesliga championship will surely help Dortmund slowly get rid of its economic problems. It will also allow Dortmund to reach a higher level in business development.
This is a very important turning point.
Not a single fan left at the Westfalenstadion. They were all celebrating. Celebrating this championship.
Watzke spoke on behalf of the club at the stadium.
Right in the center of the stadium.
This has been prepared a long time ago.
The fans were very friendly to Watzke, the chairman who was appointed at a critical moment, and recognized his achievements. When Watzke came up, they immediately applauded him.
Watzke shouted in front of the Dortmund fans.
"In the past fifteen seasons, Dortmund has won four Bundesliga championships. Second only to Bayern Munich, which has won eight championships. It has been seven years since we last won the Bundesliga championship."
Watzke paused and shouted into the microphone.
"Seven years, seven years is too long for us at Dortmund. I promise here that Dortmund fans will not be kept waiting for so long."
This is a beautiful statement.
But it was completely different from just now. A disharmonious situation emerged.
There was applause and cheers. But there were also some boos.
Very disharmonious.
But this boo is definitely not directed at Watzke, or against this championship. This is because Watzke's words were already said by someone seven years ago.
When Dortmund won the Bundesliga championship in 2002, the then Dortmund chairman Nyebaum said the same thing.
"Six years is too long to wait for a championship. We won't let Dortmund fans wait that long anymore."
But what about the result?
The result was that after Dortmund won the 2002 Bundesliga championship, they almost went bankrupt.
Many Dortmund fans booed this incident.
Watzke was not affected.
He still finished his speech.
After Watzke came down, it was Su Yun's turn.
"Su! Su! Su!"
"Stay in Dortmund! Stay in Dortmund forever!"
For leading Dortmund to win the Bundesliga championship in his first season, Su Yun was unanimously cheered by Dortmund fans.
Su Yun walked up step by step.
When Su Yun stood in front of the microphone, the Westfalenstadion immediately became silent.
Su Yun likes Westphalia.
Like Dortmund fans.
This is not because Su Yun has any feelings for Dortmund. On the contrary, just one year is not enough for Su Yun to have any deep feelings for Dortmund. What Su Yun likes is the football atmosphere in Dortmund.
The passion of Dortmund fans at the Westfalenstadion.
"I'm surprised. This season's Bundesliga championship is really surprising to me. I'm not a magician. I don't have the ability to sweep all opponents in the first year of rebuilding the team."
Dortmund fans just listened to Su Yun's words quietly.
"So I can only think that this championship is God's gift to Dortmund."
"Huhuhuhu——"
"Oh oh oh——"
Gift.
Yes, it is a gift. A gift from God to Dortmund.
Su Yun raised his hand and pressed it down.
Dortmund fans also stopped cheering.
"There are a lot of speculations about my future. The newspapers have also been speculating about my future recently. I don't deny it. I have received a lot of invitations recently."
Although Su Yun won the Bundesliga championship with Dortmund, many clubs began to contact Su Yun again.
Even Bayern Munich tentatively contacted Su Yun.
There are also many media reports.
After all, there is no airtight wall in this world.** I have to meet with those club representatives every day, so of course it is impossible to hide it from the media.
In addition, Dortmund is now a ** in everyone's eyes.
Nothing.
Therefore, many people do not believe that Dortmund can retain a famous coach like Su Yun.
How can a small pond keep a real dragon?
Florentino failed to invite Su Yun. Everyone thought that Su Yun had an influence on Real Madrid. Su Yun didn't like Real Madrid.
But if it were other wealthy families, they believed that Su Yun would never refuse.
So at the end of the season, there was a lot of speculation.
Su Yun said it openly. He didn't hide it.
"But I want to tell you that I will absolutely respect the contract with Dortmund and I will not leave Dortmund. The Bundesliga championship won this year will definitely not be the last one."
"I guarantee here that Dortmund will not lack champions in the next few years. Celebrations like today, you will always see in the future."
"Believe me, what we Dortmund will lack most in the future will be championships." (To be continued. You are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
