Chapter two hundred and three signings end

Don't think that Rangnick is looking for goalkeepers just to force Hildebrand to submit. In fact, he has indeed planned to find someone to replace Hildebrand. Hildebrand's problem is not that his level is not good, but that he is frequently injured. In his first season of joining the team, he only spent half a season on his injury most of the time, but Haas became the main goalkeeper, which directly led to Haas getting a new contract given to him by the club, because he found that Haas performed very well when Hildebrand was absent due to injury.

In the next second season, Hildebran's injuries decreased and his performance gradually rebounded. But minor injuries were always there. As the team's main goalkeeper, it is logical that all leagues should be fully played, but Hildebran is not. He has a record of missing five league games, and all of these five games were due to injuries. It is not a serious major injury, but it makes everyone feel even more upset.

It is in this context that Rangnick has always believed that Hildebran cannot complete the contract on behalf of the team. If Hoffenheim wants to improve his strength, the goalkeeper is definitely a link that needs improvement.

Therefore, he has been observing players a long time ago.

Hildebran just started to have a quarrel with the club, and Rangnick announced that he admired goalkeeper vincent_enyeama of Tel Aviv Sharp football team in Israel.

This Nigerian national goal is a player that Rangnick pays special attention to in the World Cup. With his match against Argentina, Nyema became famous in the game. He fully utilized his advantages of quick response, flexible skills and stable psychological qualities in the game.

However, his shortcomings are also outstanding. His height is not enough and his bounce is not good, which makes him not strong in control of the high ball. As for his identity as an African goalkeeper, it is a difficult problem for Premier League teams, but not a problem for Bundesliga teams. The African Cup was held in January, and the Premier League was in full swing at that time. The main goalkeeper went to participate in the African Cup, which was no objection to them. However, the Bundesliga had a one-and-a-half winter break. When the second half of the Bundesliga rekindled, the African Cup was over.

So, for example, Rangnick doesn't have to worry about losing the goalkeeper in January. Apart from a few warm-up matches during the training camp, there are no other games in January. The main goalkeeper is no big deal, at most it can't participate in the training camp. But what is the purpose of the training camp? Isn't it just to prevent the players from resting for too long, not finding their state, and their physical condition is not good? Enyema can participate in the African Cup, and there will naturally be no problems with the status and physical condition of the game.

In fact, Rangnick also fell in love with Slovenian national goalkeeper Serie A team Udinese, samir_handanovic (samir_handanovic), but Handanovic's net worth is too high. Rangnick is a little sad. The team still needs to spend money in the future, and it is a little bit to save.

Nyema's value is much lower. Although he is the best player in Israel last season, his transfer fee is probably not more than 5 million euros.

After the World Cup, there were many teams interested in Nyema, but they were all very loud and there were no substantial actions except for their interest.

If Hoffenheim takes action at this time, there shouldn't be too much obstruction...Where is Eyema himself?

Although it is also good to stay in Tel Aviv Sharp, Israel, the Bundesliga is obviously more appealing than the Israeli league. Hoffenheim, who can directly participate in the Champions League, is also more attractive than Tel Aviv Sharp, who needs to start from the qualifying round.

I believe that Nyema should not resist going to Hoffenheim.

Starting from July 20, Hoffenheim contacted Tel Aviv Sharp, Israel, and expressed his willingness to buy Enyema.

They offered 2.5 million euros, but were rejected by Sharpoor Tel Aviv.

Hoffenheim rose to three million, and Tel Aviv Sharp bargained for seven million.

This price is quite high for Nyema, but their willingness to counterattack means they are willing to sell the team's number one star, which is good news.

Both sides can sit down and talk slowly.

Finally, after some effort, Hoffenheim bought Nyema for 5 million euros. Starting from the 2010-2011 season, the 27-year-old Nigerian goalkeeper played for Hoffenheim for five seasons.

The arrival of Nyema is also a signal from Rangnick to Hildebrand - either continue to stay in the team as a substitute, or just seek another high, of course, you must make enough money if you let go... Hildebrand is definitely unwilling to be a substitute goalkeeper at Hoffenheim. Three days later, he reached an agreement with Sporting Lisbon. The transfer fee is 6 million euros, at least in the goalkeeper position, Hoffenheim did not lose money once in and out.

When Hoffenheim Club announced the transfer of Hildebran on its official website, he thanked him in a very warm language for his contribution to the team, thanked him for his efforts in the past and a half season, and wished him good luck in the distant Portugal.

But such warm words cannot make people forget the intrigue between Hildebran and the club during this period.

Especially when people put together the news of Chu Zhongtian's successful contract renewal and the news of Hildebran's sad departure, the feeling was even more obvious. The popular chicken was proud, while Hildebran, who had set the longest record of goal-losing in the Bundesliga, was now forced to leave his hometown and began his second overseas experience.

Chu Zhongtian sent his blessings to the left Hildebran on the website "We All Love Lindanda". He actually has no conflict with Hildebran, but the media put him and Hildebran together to discuss this matter, which makes people feel that he forced Hildebran away, and Hildebran is the loser in the team's struggle for power. In fact, this is not the case. Hildebran has a very good relationship with him. Tim just misjudged the shape.

I feel that since the club is willing to invest at least 20 million euros per season to buy people in order to keep Chu Zhongtian, it should not be too much to ask for a salary increase? As the team's main goalkeeper, the winner of the two-time Bundesliga championship, the former German goalkeeper, only 1.8 million euros a year, it is really unreasonable to get an annual salary of only 1.8 million euros per year. Since Chu Zhongtian has money, he doesn't like that little annual salary, why don't you share the annual salary you plan to give to Chu Zhongtian?

Unfortunately, in the hearts of Hoffenheim's senior management, his status cannot be compared with Chu Zhongtian. Although their personal relationship is good... Hildebran left Hoffenheim like this, and many fans still couldn't bear to leave him, but what can I do? No one in this team is really indispensable, except Chu Zhongtian and head coach Rangnick.

※※※ Buy Hlosek for five million, buy Quaresma for seven million, buy Gago for one hundred and eighteen million, buy Enyema for five million, and buy Hoffenheim for five million, so far this season. After advancing to the Bundesliga, the transfer fee ranks third, and the first place was their first season of upwards. That season, it cost 40 million euros just to buy Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic. The team spent a total of 40.6 million euros in the second season.

The transfer period of this season is not over yet, and they still have hope to surpass their second season.

In terms of sales, Eduardo was sold for 20 million, Wosa was sold for 4 million, and Hildebran was bought for 6 million, and now 30 million was recorded. The two items were offset, which means that they only spent 5.5 million euros.

These are the main expenses and revenues.

Some other small expenses are not noticeable.

For example, while Hoffenheim was introducing famous players, he spent 1.8 million euros to dig out the winner of last year's German Football Newcomer of the Year Award from Munich 1860, Mlapa.

The 19-year-old young player is known as the "New Adebayo" and is strong. He is a future investment and may only be able to play as a substitute in occasional games this season.

For the current first-team lineup, Rangnick has not undergone major operations, he has only adjusted a few positions.

But his adjustment is not over yet. He also hopes to introduce a right back. It is too hard to only Baker on the right. Although Baker is young and hardworking, he will not care about so many injuries. If Baker is injured, there will be no player who can show off in the right back position. In addition, in order to stimulate Baker and make him progress faster, a high-level full-back is also needed to compete with him. At present, the team competes in almost all positions. Only Baker's right back is far from his strength because other teammates are far from his strength, and no one can threaten his main position.

Rangnick feels that it will be very unfavorable for Baker's growth in the long run. In an environment without competition, it will not be able to stimulate the potential of players. In the long run, Baker's final achievements will be like this.

To this end, he decided to introduce a high-level full-back to stimulate Baker.

Although Inter Milan's Macon is the world's number one right-back today, it is a fantasy to buy him. First of all, Macon himself is not willing to come to Hoffenheim. Secondly, even if he is willing to come, Hoffenheim cannot afford the money. In the end, even if Hoffenheim can get the transfer fee, Macon's high salary will still become the most insurmountable obstacle.

Unlike left backs, there are many excellent right backs in the world in terms of right backs. But not everyone is willing to come to Hoffenheim with Hoffenheim.

After picking around, Rangnick set his sights on Darijo_srna, the captain of the Ukrainian Donetsk Miners. This famous right-back was once very popular among European giants and one of the demons of the famous football game "Football Manager" (fm), and his data looks very dazzling. However, his performance has declined in recent years and is no longer as brave as he used to be. It is precisely because of this that it has become easier for Hoffenheim to buy him. Although his ability is not as good as before, it is very consistent with Rangnick's positioning for the candidate for this position - he is strong, but not outstanding, because he still has to rotate with Baker. If he is too excellent, Baker can only play as a substitute completely.

It is also important to have rich experience. As the double captain of Donesque Miners and Croatia, Serner has a lot of experience and can help Hoffenheim and Baker.

In addition, Serner is not too old, he is only twenty-eight years old, and he is still in his playing age. He can still play for the team for a few more years.

After seven seasons with the Donetsk Miners, Serner seemed to have reached a seven-year itch, and he wanted to leave the team and start a whole new journey.

The two sides hit it off, although the Donetsk Miners did not want to let their captain go, the captain himself hoped to leave.

In the end, the players' wishes played a key role.

Hoffenheim eventually brought the famous demon guard in the game to the Rhine-Neka Stadium from Ukraine for a transfer fee of 8.5 million euros.

Baker realized that his competition had begun...※※※ On July 31, Hoffenheim had completed all the main signings for this season. Rangnick and several players who joined this summer held a press conference at the Austrian training site to solemnly recommend these new signings to the media and fans.

As the captain of the team, Chu Zhongtian accompanied the head coach to attend the press conference. However, some media also found a new meaning for his attendance - he successfully renewed his contract with the team this summer, which was also a major signing.

In front of the media, Rangnick introduced all the players who joined the team.

Hlosek is the top card of the Czech national team. After Nedved retired, he has the title of "Nedved II" and is the hope of Czech football at present. However, this is Hlosek's first time playing in the top five European leagues, and he seems a little low-key in the face of reporters. "I am very happy to be able to join Hoffenheim. I hope to contribute my strength to the team..."

Quaresma is a once promising new star in Portugal. He is a talented player who is known as the Sporting double star in Lisbon. After experiencing many ups and downs, he came to Hoffenheim to prove himself again and find a way to self-salvation. I don’t know if his unruly personality has changed after so many things. Rangnick bought him as a gambler. As a star, he lacks fame. His resume playing in the two super giants of Barcelona and Inter Milan is not only his capital to attract the attention of fans, but also a time bomb for conflicts in the locker room. At least when facing the media, Quaresma showed the experience he had accumulated from wandering around, and he was able to deal with those slightly tricky problems. He first praised Hoffenheim’s achievements in the past two seasons, and then said that he would do his best to help the team.

No one knows whether this is true or superficial.

After all, he has been to many clubs, started well and then quickly fell into such a drama. It is no wonder that everyone is used to. Anyway, many people don’t have any hope for him to transfer to Hoffenheim. Some people think that Rangnick made a failed deal, and Quaresma is not worth 7.5 million euros at all. In less than half a season, he only takes three months to know that the deal failed. The media can’t wait to put the hat of “the biggest parallel to the Bundesliga this season” on Quaresma. In short, everyone is waiting to see the jokes between Quaresma himself and Hoffenheim.

Gago, who left the Bernabeu, was full of expectations for his future. Although the competitors he faced may be the strongest among several new teammates, he said he was not afraid of competition. "... Competition is everywhere, this is professional football. At Real Madrid, I also faced very fierce competition. I don't think there is anything wrong with the competition. I will not retreat." At the same time, he also expressed his admiration to the captain Chu Zhongtian. "I have seen him play football, he is very, very outstanding, and I think it makes sense that he can succeed..."

Rangnick hopes Chu Zhongtian can influence Gago. Gago in Real Madrid is more like a blue-collar worker, while Rangnick hopes Gago can become the real "Redondo II". He hopes Chu Zhongtian can teach his insights in the offense to this Argentine midfielder who is two years younger than him.

Judging from Gago's statement, the relationship between them should not be bad. Chu Zhongtian is not unfamiliar with this kind of "leading apprentices". He has led many people in Metz... The most promising person now is Pjanic of Lyon. Last season, he led Lyon to eliminate Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

In the face of Gago's performance of goodwill on the spot, Chu Zhongtian also gave a positive response. He smiled and said, "From the first day of training, we all know that Fernando is working very hard, and I think this is also the reason for his success."

Nyema is very confident. His experience in the World Cup has greatly improved his confidence. He didn't think there was any difference from the Israeli League to the Bundesliga. Anyway, his job is the same, just to keep a goal. Rangnick hopes that he can respond more in the game and direct defense. This is very much in his appetite.

Next, Serner, who is the latest team to join the team, has now become a member of Hoffenheim. At the age of 28, he seems very experienced and calm. Although many people speculate that he will easily win the competition with Baker, he praised Baker: "He is very young and excellent." Serner obviously knows how to do the best in a new team.

Finally, Rangnick patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder and said to everyone with a smile: "Finally, I will introduce to you our last signing of this season!"

Everyone laughed knowingly.

Chu Zhongtian also laughed.

This is a little joke.

Chu Zhongtian said that he was very satisfied with the team's signings this summer - of course he was satisfied, and basically he signed according to his wishes.

He then reiterated that Hoffenheim is an ambitious team, just like him.

"Our goal this season is to go longer in the Champions League." He oversaw his affairs and told the team's goals for head coach Rangnick. Rangnick did not express dissatisfaction with this, but continued to nod his head with a smile and expressed his agreement.

Then Chu Zhongtian made a request to the newly joined teammates as the team captain: "So I hope the new teammates will work hard with us."

The reporters have no surprise at all about this statement. Now Hoffenheim and Chu Zhongtian say "We want to go further in the Champions League", which is not abrupt at all. Look at their performance in the Champions League last season. It is impressive to have such outstanding performances in the Champions League for the first time.

Who dares to say that they can't go further this season?
