Chapter 106 The Pain of Relegation? Mr. Goodman Doesn't Care!
The front page headline of the Munich Evening News reported that negotiations between Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig's rising star Joshua Kimmich have entered the final stage, with Bayern planning to buy Kimmich and then loan him out.
Dongqiudi forwarded a comment from a student at Chengdu No. 7 High School: Hao Ren's total score in Chinese, Math and English should be around 140, with Chinese close to 90.
Sky Sports interviewed Rangnick: Limited transfer budget, no plans to buy top stars for the time being; Goodman's mortgage? That's his own business.
The reporter who interviewed Rangnick this time was quite something; after asking about his transfer targets for a long time without getting any answers, he ended up throwing out all sorts of strange questions.
But upon closer reflection, I, Mr. Goodman, am indeed quite pitiful, burdened with a debt of 2000 million RMB at such a young age!
June arrived quickly.
Mr. Goodman, who is 2000 million yuan in debt, appeared at Shuangliu Airport, immediately attracting the attention of fans.
Logically, Hao Ren could have stayed in China to enjoy his vacation, but he had some important things to do, so he set off early to return to Germany.
"Is it about a transfer?"
Fans at the scene followed Hao Ren, wanting to get to the bottom of the matter.
"Um... I guess so."
As Hao Ren walked, he said, "Actually, you don't need to rush. At most a week, we'll definitely have news within a week. Then you'll know the result."
"Don't tell me it's news about Hao Qiuwang going from his first year of high school to his second, okay?"
"Ha ha!"
Hao Ren shrugged: "How could this be? It's really true! I've made up my mind!"
Well!
Toutiao (a Chinese news aggregator) – The decision has been made! A netizen ran into Hao Ren at Shuangliu Airport, inquired about the transfer, and received the answer: the news will be confirmed within a week.
According to the Munich Industrial News, Borussia Dortmund is committed to completing the transfer of Gudman quickly, but has encountered some "minor problems" in the process.
Bild's Erend: Based on my understanding of football, it's highly unlikely that Gudman will join Dortmund because his talent is too poor to adapt to a top team like Dortmund.
Ingolstadt coach Hasenhüttl: Confident of completing the transfer of Gudman.
I'm used to Erend, but who is this Hasenhüttl?
[Hahaha, this guy still won't give up? How could Hao Ren possibly go to Ingolstadt? This guy's dreaming!]
[I must say, Hasenhüttl is a real talent; he promised to keep us in the league next season—something even Rangnick wouldn't dare say. Plus, Hasenhüttl can give Hao Ren a starting position.]
[It's better to stay in Leipzig. Don't forget Hao Ren still has a 2000 million euro mortgage; he'll definitely stay in Leipzig for a high salary. Doesn't he know what a Red Bull prince is?]
Stop guessing, guys. We'll definitely have the results within a week. What's the point of guessing now? We might as well drink a few more cans of Red Bull and help Hao Qiuwang speed up his mortgage payment.
On July 3, a local German journalist published a transfer news report, which was confirmed by Leipzig FC several hours later.
Stewart striker Timo Werner joined RB Leipzig for a transfer fee of €1400 million.
Judging from his age of only 19, he must have been personally selected by Rangnick.
Following closely behind are Naby Keita, Gulacsić, and Bernardo Silva from Red Bull Salzburg.
The trio had actually transferred to Leipzig once, but Leipzig took an "illegal route" and eventually sent them back.
This is finally a legitimate transfer, as Leipzig spent a total of 1800 million euros on these three players!
Judging from these transfers, Red Bull's goal of avoiding relegation is still very clear.
but----
Buying new, strong players is good, but these are not the news that Leipzig fans are most looking forward to.
Werner, Keita, Gulacsi, and Bernardo ————
Where did I, the invincible King Goodman, go?
On July 5, Hao Ren visited Kimmich's rented apartment in Leipzig.
"I'm going to a bar with Yusuf and the others tomorrow, want to come along? Do you want to come?"
"There's such an event? How come I didn't know?"
"Look at the group chat! Stop just scrolling through Twitter. You're only ignoring it because nobody in our group is praising you, right?"
Kimmich tossed Hao Ren a bottle of iced drink, which the latter unscrewed and gulped down: "Okay, I'll definitely go."
.
"When are you leaving?"
-
Kimmich sat down next to Hao Ren.
"What?"
"It means exactly what it says!"
Kimmich punched Hao Ren's arm: "When are you going to Dortmund? I'm ready to play against you, but I might not play in the Bundesliga. I might be loaned out by Bayern."
"When did I say I was going to Dortmund?"
"ah???"
Kimmich was instantly stunned: "Didn't you say in the group chat that you were packing your things and getting out of here? I remember you saying that."
"I was just kidding, can't you tell?"
Hao Ren opened the Leipzig first team group chat on his phone: "Look, Youssef even sent a laughing emoji. He knows I'm joking."
"Hmm—I bet you're the only one who didn't notice."
Kimmich clutched his head in his hands: "So where are you going? Damn, you're not going to Wolfsburg, are you?"
"Listen to me, Goode, going to Wolfsburg is no better than going to Dortmund. Trust me, if you're going to go, go to a team with a deep history!"
"You think I'm like you, Chicken Bro! A team with a deep history? No, no, no, I don't like to win by doing nothing, I prefer to carry others to victory."
Hao Ren looked at Kimmich beside him with a disdainful look, "Those who like to go to strong teams are those who like to win by doing nothing, and those who like to win by doing nothing are dogs."
"Hey! I know what you mean, Goode, but here, dogs aren't used as an insult!"
Kimmich corrected Hao Ren's mistake: "Then wouldn't it be the same if you went to Wolfsburg? They were second in the Bundesliga last season, and you just coasted there too!"
"I didn't say I was going to Wolfsburg. I'm staying in Leipzig next season!"
"Hmm... Ah?"
Kimmich was stunned for a moment: "You really want to stay with the team?"
"Oh, so you're after that 10 euro weekly wage, right? Well, I misjudged you, Goode."
Fuck you!
"Am I the kind of person who only cares about high salaries?"
Hao Ren argued with Kimmich for a while, and after a lot of effort, he finally managed to salvage his image in front of his apprentice.
"So, you must feel incredibly guilty now, Chicken Bro. It turns out you're the only one who wanted to join a strong team."
Hao Ren crossed his arms, giving off an arrogant vibe: "Bayern and Dortmund, I don't care about them."
After speaking, Hao Ren suddenly lowered his head and whispered a few words to Kimmich: "By the way, don't leak what I just said."
"7
Kimmich waved his hand: "Fine, I didn't expect I'd be the only one leaving in the end."
"You and Bayern haven't finalized an agreement yet; aren't you still discussing a loan deal?"
Hao Ren suddenly brought up Kimmich's negotiations with Bayern Munich, which clearly shows that he was also paying attention to this matter.
"That's almost finalized, right? They should be loaning him to another Bundesliga team or a Serie A team, right?"
Just as Kimmich was speaking, Hao Ren was looking at him with an expectant gaze.
Um.
Kimmich suddenly realized what was happening and said, "Oh, you mean, Bayern should loan me to Leipzig so we can play together again next season!"
"Depend on!"
Hao Ren covered his head with his hands: "You son of a bitch! I mean, why didn't you just stay? Why did you have to go to Bayern and then be loaned out again? Do you like Bayern that much?"
"What about the contract? I can't keep taking a weekly wage of over 1 euros, can I?"
"Didn't those managers say they were willing to give us new contracts?"
Red Bull truly has an excellent reputation when it comes to treating its star athletes; this isn't the first time they've offered players high-salary contracts.
"hiss----"
Kimmich took a deep breath.
Actually, what Hao Ren said makes a lot of sense.
From all perspectives, changing his contract and staying in Leipzig is the best option; there's really no need to chase his "Bayern dream."
"And, to put it bluntly..."
Hao Ren shrugged: "If you go to Bayern and I crush you head-on, you'll be devastated."
'
""
Kimmich rolled his eyes at Hao Ren.
"Hey, I mean, can't I even make a hypothetical assumption? Chicken Bro, you're such a coward!"
Kimmich gritted his teeth.
On one hand, there's my childhood dream; on the other, my starting position next season.
He was incredibly conflicted at that moment.
"Good."
Kimmich raised his upper body and looked at Hao Ren: "Do you think I can get a starting position if I stay in Leipzig next season? I feel that Ralf doesn't really like some of my technical characteristics."
"I think it's okay."
After careful consideration, Hao Ren nodded solemnly: "Ralf will give you opportunities. Moreover, staying at Leipzig will give you the most opportunities. You won't get as many opportunities as you would at any other team in the top five leagues!"
'
"Good, I think you make a lot of sense."
"Right!"
Hao Ren waved his hand dismissively: "I told you, Brother Chicken, you're still young. Sometimes you should listen to the old man's advice. I wouldn't lie to you!"
"Then—should I call my agent now?"
"Sure, you can play later. There's no rush, the transfer window is still a long way off."
Kimmich nodded and put the phone he had just taken out back down.
After finishing, he sighed and leaned back on the sofa.
For some reason, Kimmich was actually happier and even a little relaxed after confirming that he would not be able to go to Bayern next season.
"Gurgle, gurgle!"
Hao Ren gulped down the drink.
He glanced at Kimmich beside him, then handed him his drink: "I told you, the KFC duo is the strongest. The 2nd Bundesliga is still too weak. Next season, we need to show the Bundesliga the strength of the KFC duo. With you and me, wouldn't that be invincible?"
Kimmich took Hao Ren's drink, gulped it down in one go, and then casually tossed the empty bottle away.
Snapped!
The bottle hit the floor with a sound, and the two people sitting on the sofa bumped fists.
Having confirmed his next move, Kimmich prepared to call Rangnick and his agent after Hao Ren left.
As a newly promoted team, RB Leipzig's chances of avoiding relegation will certainly not be easy.
But if it's with the great Mr. Goodman—then it's worth a try!
RB Leipzig officially announced that midfielder Hao Ren has confirmed he will remain with the team next season and will wear the number 10 jersey (formerly number 20). The club will complete all summer transfer signings by July 20th and hold a press conference for the new season at the Red Bull Arena.
【Holy crap, am I staying on the team?】
I don't really agree with Red Bull not giving a bonus to Sichuan real estate companies this time.
[Hao Ren: Even someone as strong as Mr. Goodman is subject to mortgage restrictions!]
[I feel like you haters still don't understand Hao Ren. He swept four Bundesliga teams in the German Cup; Hao Ren definitely doesn't care about Dortmund anymore. Knowing his personality, he probably wants to stay in Leipzig and go head-to-head with other teams.]
[It's tough, guys. If RB Leipzig gets relegated next season, does that mean we'll have to watch the 2. Bundesliga again? I still want to watch the top five leagues!]
On the first floor of the Leipzig office, Hao Renhe and the club signed a new contract.
Because Hao Ren is still a minor, this contract is still based on the 3+1 system.
Of course, Hao Ren couldn't just take the €10 top salary for nothing. He had a gentleman's agreement with Leipzig that he would sign a new professional contract with the team immediately after coming of age.
The new professional contract will still pay no less than 10 euros per week, and if Hao Ren performs well in the first half of the Bundesliga season next year, he may receive an even higher salary (no more than 18 euros).
This gentleman's agreement was known only to Hao Ren, Lü Qi, and some senior executives of Leipzig; it was a "secret" of the club.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the office building, Rangnick and Almas were preparing for their new season.
RB Leipzig Starting Lineup (15-16 Bundesliga Season)
Goalkeeper: Gulacsić; Defenders: Klostermann, Willie Orban, Compper, Halstenberg; Midfielders: Kimmich/Naby Keita, Hao Ren, Sabitzer; Forwards: Poulsen (C), Werner, Forsberg; Formation: 433 (first choice), 4222 (second choice)
"Um----"
Looking at the starting lineup for the new season in his hand, Rangnick's brows furrowed without him even realizing it.
Despite acquiring a large number of players, Leipzig's starting lineup is still not considered luxurious.
They want to rely on this lineup to avoid relegation —
"hiss----"
Rangnick took off his glasses and began massaging the bridge of his nose.
The front page headline of Titan Sports Weekly reads: Hao Ren is confirmed to stay with RB Leipzig for the new season in the Bundesliga. How easy will it be to avoid relegation?
Among countless paths to the top five European leagues, Hao Ren chose the most difficult one.
As a Chinese media outlet, Sports Weekly naturally expressed its support for Hao Ren, even considering his actions "brave."
But some European media outlets think differently.
Click, click, click!
Click, click, click!
"Goodman, you clearly had the opportunity to go to Dortmund, but you chose to stay in Leipzig. Was it because Leipzig offered you a weekly wage of 10 euros? Did you want to pay off your 2000 million RMB mortgage as soon as possible?"
"Goodman, why don't you go to Wolfsburg?"
"Goodman, do you think Leipzig can avoid relegation next season? Are you trying to drag Kimmich down by advising him to stay?"
'
'
"Okay, okay, quiet down. I'll explain slowly, alright?"
Hao Ren waited for a while, and the scene finally quieted down.
As a player who has just been promoted from the 2. Bundesliga to the Bundesliga, Hao Ren has received star-level "attention" from reporters, which is quite remarkable.
"First of all, I want to clarify that I stayed in Leipzig not just because of the 10 euros; that's a very small, insignificant reason. And my mortgage isn't 2000 million RMB as you're saying, it's 1350 million! Got it? 1350 million!"
It's not the damn 2000 million!
"Whether I go to Dortmund or stay in Leipzig, I have enough money to pay off my mortgage; it's not a big problem. So, as I said, salary isn't the main reason. I think staying in Leipzig is the best option, so I've chosen to stay."
Hao Ren shrugged: "That's it, it's that simple. Everything else is fake, you don't need to investigate further."
Click, click, click!
Seeing more than 10 reporters raise their hands, Hao Ren randomly selected one.
"Dant O'Connor, Sky Sports. Goodman, did you ever consider that this choice might directly ruin your career?"
"Given your superior skills, did you consider that you would suffer next season by choosing to stay with RB Leipzig, who were just promoted to the Bundesliga?"
The reporter sat down, and Hao Ren turned his head away.
"I wanted to stay, so I stayed."
"As for avoiding relegation—I know that teams that have just been promoted to the top league usually encounter a lot of difficulties, and players and coaches may be under pressure or even in pain."
"but----"
""
Hao Ren shook his head: "Mr. Goodman doesn't care."
