Chapter 761 Contact
Ilkay Gundogan was born in 1990. He is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 78 kilograms. He has excellent ball control and extremely fast speed. He can also play on the side. He is a near-perfect midfielder.

This player came to Nuremberg when he was there, and he completed his first assist against Bayern Munich that year, and then completed his first goal against Bayern for the second time that year. He also left a deep impression in Erke's game, which is the number one reason why Magath wants to buy this person.

The second reason is that Gundogan was born in Gelsenkirchen. He wants to leave Nuremberg this year and hopes to change his environment. He is unwilling to play in the second division with Nuremberg. Only in this way can he be closer to the national team. A little closer, and not only Schalke 04, but also their sworn enemy Dortmund are interested in him, so Magath will talk to them in person.

Football is a sport that has always been very regional. Fans have a sense of belonging to their team, and the players are the same. No one will refuse to play for their home team, let alone the current Schall Ke is also the champion of the Bundesliga, which is more attractive than Dortmund.

"We very much hope that you can join Schalke. You have also seen that our team is a youth army, and players like you have been reused there, so you don't have to worry about your age. Obstacles to compete for the main players on the field." Magath said calmly to Old Gundo, who is his son's manager.

Although the old Gundogan was a Turkish immigrant, he had stayed in Gelsenkirchen for decades, so he naturally had an indescribable intimacy with Schalke, and he had long regarded himself as a native of Gelsenkirchen. It's just that Gundogan didn't join Schalke due to various reasons. This is something that both father and son are a little bit regretful about.

"What I want to ask is, what are Schalke's goals for next year?"

Magath laughed loudly, "I can definitely tell you that Ai Huan will stay in the team. He has already bought a house in Gelsenkirchen, which can definitely calm people's hearts." He paused here, Then he said, "With Ai Huan, our goal will always be the championship. Last season we won the double championship, and this season our goal is to win the triple championship."

"Three crowns?" Old Gundogan couldn't help standing up for a while, and then sat down and barely stabilized the surging enthusiasm in his heart, "Then how do you want to use Gundogan? You must know that he is the core of the midfield in Nuremberg, And he doesn't really like the wing, although he can play on the wing."

Magath knew that there was a goal, and immediately said with a smile, "I hope Ilkay can also be the core of Schalke's midfield. You only need to watch last year's games and you should know that I am not joking."

Almost at the same time, Magath's assistant coach Rolf was also doing the same thing in London.Last year's first assistant coach Eshikorn left the club due to physical reasons, and now Rolf has been mentioned as the chief assistant coach, and the person he faces today is Demba Ba.

Demba Ba was born in France in 1985, but his nationality is Senegal. This is also because the strength of the French national team is strong. If you want to participate in the World Cup, you can only choose a weaker country to play for.He started his professional career in the French second division team and played for Belgium, but it was at Hoffenheim that he really became famous. He stayed in this team for four years and contributed to the team. He made a huge contribution, but he was sold to West Ham United last winter due to conflicts with Hoffenheim's top management, but what surprised him was that West Ham United was relegated in just half a year, which also led him to hope that he could immediately Get out of here and find your next shelter.

This year was really not smooth for Demba Ba. He had conflicts with others twice, which also caused his reputation to plummet. Now he can't even find a new home, but this time Schalke's visit is not It also surprised him, but he was also very happy.

After all, he has played in Germany for the longest time in his career, so he has long adapted to life in Germany. After he suddenly moved to the UK, he also felt uncomfortable in all aspects. Returning to the Bundesliga and still going to the Bundesliga champion Schalke, he was immediately moved.

But he still has to ask about his use. After all, Schalke still has players like Raul and Farfan. Whether he can get the corresponding playing opportunities there is his biggest question. Is Raul a substitute? I know Raul has been playing well with you, and I would like to know how you plan to use me?"

Rolf laughed, "Raul is a very important player for us, but one thing must be made clear, because of his age and competitive state, he can only be used as a substitute this year, but can you give you the main position? You need to fight for it yourself, what do you think?"

Demba Ba didn't speak right away, but he had already begun to think about what it would be like to cooperate with Ai Huan next year. You must know that he also played against Ai Huan this year. At that time, he thought that if he had the opportunity to cooperate with this person What would it feel like? I didn't expect that the dream would come true in just half a year.

"Okay, don't you all look down on me? Then I will go back now, and I will show those who have despised me who is the real killer. I, Demba Ba, am back!"

But not every time it goes so smoothly. For example, Hargreaves, who Rolf went to see the next day, turned out to be very disappointing.Hargreaves is also a very famous all-round midfielder. He became famous with Bayern and later moved to Manchester United, but he has been plagued by injuries except for the first season, so this person is also called Glass people.

It’s not that Magath has never thought about whether this player can maintain a good state, but given his good health in Bayern, it can be inferred that he is still relatively adaptable in Germany at least, so it is also very important to be able to buy such a player. Good choice.

But what disappointed Schalke was that Hargreaves directly rejected the proposal. He made it clear that he would like to stay in England and continue to play, and he also liked Manchester and wanted to retire here.
