42 Beckenbauer's invitation
The day after the end of the World Cup, in a high-end club in Tokyo, Japan...
"Leon, I won't bother you. Mendes wisely left space for Leon and Beckenbauer.
This is the first time Leon has seen Beckenbauer in real life. Beckenbauer is more energetic and aggressive than the photos.
"You are now the captain of the Argentine team, and I used to be the captain of the German team. Nice to meet you, Leonwell." Beckenbauer took the initiative to shake hands with Leon, and Beckenbauer's tone was approachable and condescending a feeling of.
Once the overlord comes out, he dominates one side and dominates the football world. As a former overlord in world football, Leon did not dare to neglect, he stood up and shook hands with Beckenbauer.
"First of all, congratulations on winning the supreme honor of the World Cup." Beckenbauer said, looking at Leon with a smile.
Well, foreigners don't like to be too humble, Leon also nodded with a smile.
Beckenbauer seems to be very satisfied with Leon's neither humble nor overbearing temperament: "I think Leon, you must have also learned from your agent that Bayern has already made an offer to River Plate."
Leon nodded, "Yes, there are eight other giants besides Bayern. To be honest, I also have a headache."
Beckenbauer smiled and shook his head: "Young man, the times are different. There is no Bosman Act, and there is no madness in today's transfer market." After that, Beckenbauer's deep eyes also stared at Leon watched for a few seconds.
"Can you come to Bayern? Leon." Straightforward, the Germans really don't like to procrastinate.
Leon didn't answer or refuse, he just looked at Beckenbauer calmly.
Beckenbauer stared at Leon for a few seconds and said: "I don't want to go around with you, Leon. You are an excellent technical talent. I think you also know that German football is in a dark age. Bayern Munich The same is true in Munich. Our players have begun to lag behind the pace of the times. I think if you can come to Bayern, your skills will let those diehards know how important technological innovation is to modern football. And those people who are still delusional about not changing the current technical backwardness of the German team and still achieving good results need to wake up. Leon, I have watched your performance in the semi-finals and finals. To be honest, I personally appreciate your football style , I don't want to promise you too much now, because if I promise too much, I will be a villain. I really hope you can come to Bayern, because you are exactly the kind of talent we need. Not only Bayern Need you, German football also needs the arrival of skilled players like you. German football can no longer rest on its laurels! We need new talents. To be honest, there are very few people I can like in this German team, football is like that, Once you underestimate him, then he will give you a head-on blow. I still remember the scene of the 1-5 defeat to England. To be honest, if I live to be a hundred years old, I don't want that scene. It happened again."
Leon pondered for a few seconds, "I can agree to go to Bayern, but you have to raise the offer to the same as Real Madrid. Because for me, the River Plate team is kind to me, and maybe the three million pounds is for you European giants. Saying it is just a flick of the finger, but for River Plate, it may be a life-saving straw at a critical moment."
readily! Now that Beckenbauer has spoken, he is going to Bayern anyway, so why not hurry up?
Beckenbauer smiled, "Then this is considered a verbal agreement?"
Leon thought for a while: "If you want, this can also be formal. You can talk to my agent about the treatment. As for the medical examination and the time to go to Germany, I want to wait until I return to Argentina to confirm. ."
Beckenbauer nodded: "Leon, I like you more and more now, you speak like a German."
Leon shrugged: "I have never liked procrastination."
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance?" Beckenbauer said with a smile.
"Of course, it will be very pleasant." Leon nodded.
That's it... The famous Beckenbauer only took five minutes to convince Leon to join. Later, the major media used Beckenbauer's personal charm as unstoppable, and the German media even used Beckenbauer to defeat Ke Ruyff's title... Well, before and after the World Cup, Barcelona's godfather Cruyff publicly stated that Barcelona's No. 10 was reserved for Leon. How are you now? It only took five minutes for Beckenbauer!
Personal charm!
Of course, if everyone knew that it was the system behind Leon who was instructing Leon to go to the Bundesliga first to find clues to become the world champion, what kind of expressions would they have? It must be exciting anyway!
But no matter what, the Germans really don't like to procrastinate, and the negotiation with Mendes is also very easy. Leon's annual salary at Bayern has reached 10 million marks (about 4.4 million pounds) after tax. Bayern did not make it public, and even within the team, Beckenbauer wanted Leon to keep it secret...
Because in the Bundesliga at this time, Leon's salary is definitely second to none.
Bayern and Leon signed a three-year contract. If Leon transfers within the contract period, Mendes and Leon will get 10% of the transfer share.
Mendez's negotiating ability is indeed very good, and he convinced the Germans in a few words.
Bayern finally offered River Plate a sky-high price of 40 million pounds! Sure enough, Beckenbauer didn't care about the details with Leon, and if he gave three million more, he would give three million more!
Just as Leon and his teammates were sitting on the plane flying back to Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich also announced: "Your son-Leon Will joins!"
According to Leon himself, he will continue to wear the No. 25 jersey he wore at the River Plate club... He is not interested in No. 10.
In fact, if the national team also has the number 25, Leon still wants to choose this number.
The joining of the Argentine captain caused an uproar in Germany, oh no, it should have caused an uproar in Europe!
The Bundesliga teams panicked, while the European giants sighed!
Especially when Inter Milan scout Lamionda knew that Inter Milan did not win Leonwell in the end, it is said that the guy dressed as a homeless man got drunk on the streets of Milan: "Missed, missed, we missed again A genius! Too late, really too late! He should have been taken half a year ago!"
The German media used the title of "Captain of the World Cup Champion Team" to play up Leon's joining!
Of course, many stubborn German media have listed Leon's various bad deeds in Argentina...
Well, no matter what, Leon's joining Bayern has become a foregone conclusion. After the alien Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for 47 million pounds, Bayern's handwriting this time also made people feel the strength of the Bundesliga giants!
However, it is indeed as analyzed by Ciciroro, because Bayern's introduction of Leon has basically used up the transfer quota, and considering the problem that the midfielder core does not need two, Bayern also announced the success of the introduction of Leon. News - Ballack was a media misrepresentation...
Well, Ballack is staying at Leverkusen. Ze Roberto, who was going to join Bayern this season, also stayed in Leverkusen. However... In the end, Bayern still gritted their teeth and insisted on introducing Sebastian Deisler, who is known as the German football player. The most brilliant of geniuses.
Firstly, Deisler was introduced because Deisler's position does not conflict with Leon's position, secondly, because his technology is in line with Bayern's future development trend, and thirdly, Deisler is famous...
This transfer cost Bayern nearly 9 million euros. Well, the transfer market in 2002 has not yet started to go crazy. Nesta has not gone to AC Milan, Ferdinand has not gone to Manchester United... the last few transactions , a stroke is comparable to a stroke of madness!
...
Just as the European media were making a fuss, the chartered flight of the Argentine national team also arrived at the airport in Buenos Aires!
Argentine President Fernando de Rua also publicly stated: "They are the heroes of the Argentines!"
The airport is already crowded with people. Today there will be over a million Argentines coming to the streets of Buenos Aires to wait for the Argentine team's championship parade.
And many River Plate fans even put up the banner "No matter where you go, you will always be our noble son" to express their love for Lionwell!
This unprecedented lively scene also shocked Leon...but he soon felt relieved. Sixteen years of waiting was too long!
Argentina's championship parade lasted a whole day, and Leonwell, the youngest captain, made a speech that made the parade bus reach ** when it reached May Square!
"Thank you all for your support! We have the best fans in the world! In the next World Cup, we will still fight for the championship!"
There is no doubt that Lionwell's current popularity has reached an unprecedented height in Argentina.
Many Argentine fans have begun to compare Leon Will with Maradona in 1986. Of course, Leon is much worse than the old horse...
After all, the old horse was against the sky all by himself.
World champion Diego Maradona also praised the Argentine national team: "They are worthy of the pride of every Argentine!"
The final destination of the bus parade is the River Plate Monument Stadium, why not a candy box? The monument is the home court of the Argentine national team!
The joy of winning the championship is written on the faces of every Argentine. The famous Argentines of all ages have given a very high evaluation of this Argentine team!
As for the content of the evaluation, everyone read the newspaper for yourself!
At this moment, every Argentine player standing on the bus was extremely excited and excited! Why did they win the World Cup? Not just for this moment?
On the Monument Stadium, the names of every Argentine player are remembered by the fans!
They are No. 1 goalkeeper Boggs. He saved many times in the game against Brazil. Although he was regarded as the most unreliable position in Argentina before the start of the World Cup, Argentine fans will not forget. His wonderful performance!
The former No. 2 captain Ayala, although he missed the first four games of Argentina, after his return, he brought a solid defense to the Argentine team, and he still persisted when he returned to Leon and took the initiative to give up the captain's armband Let Leon be the captain, Ayala is indeed the true leader of Argentina worthy of the name! Being selected as the best XI of the World Cup is also the best compliment to Ayala.
No. 3 Juan Sorin, although Sorin lost his main position after Bielsa's change, his contribution to the Argentine team is still worthy of fans' remembering him.
No. 4 Pochettino, well, sadly, he was completely reduced to a water dispenser administrator after the war between Britain and Afghanistan, but now the past between him and Leon has long since passed.
Veteran No. 5 Almeida, this conscientious veteran was able to realize his dream of success at the end of his career. For him, the World Cup in Korea and Japan in 2002 will be the eternal and most precious memory!
Six rock Samuel, his steady performance let people see the potential of this young Argentine central defender! If there is no accident in the next ten years, he will be the best choice for Argentina's main central defender.
No. 7 Claudio Lopez, although the absolute main force of Argentina lost his position in the qualifiers in the competition with Aimar, it was also the healthy competition between him and Aimar that made Aimar big in this World Cup shine.
No. 8 Javier Zanetti, like Sorin, lost his main position after Bielsa's change, but it was Zanetti, Batty and others who confirmed Leon's position as the captain of the national team. , Zanetti's role is too critical.
Batty, God of War No. 9! He became the top scorer in the history of the World Cup with six goals. Although this record was eventually tied by Ronaldo's 11 goals in a single season, Barty is still the top scorer of the Argentine fans in the Middle Ages! In the words of Maradona, fortunately this is an Argentine beast! To be able to win the World Cup championship and be selected as the best team in the World Cup at the end of his career, for Batty, there is no more dreamy moment than this!
No. 10 Ariel Ortega, although Ortega has declined due to alcoholism compared to his incomprehension in France four years ago, he is still the best candidate for Argentina's right wing. He often uses breakthroughs to bring Argentina offense **!
Juan Veron on the 11th, if you want to say when the Argentine will show a champion, then it is definitely Uncle Veron's change of attitude towards Leon. The change of attitude towards Leon has made Veron stimulate his potential. Prove his strength with performance!
Although No. 12 Caballero became the biggest culprit in Argentina's draw with England, like Pochettino, the matter with Leon has already become a thing of the past.
No. 13 Placente, as the panacea in the midfield, became Argentina's starting defender after Pochettino withdrew from the main force, and made great achievements for the Argentine team's seven victories!
No. 14 Diego Simeone, a veteran who has served the Argentine team for ten years, his stable defense and years of experience in major competitions allowed him to form a super combination of both offense and defense with Leon in this World Cup.
No. 16 Pablo Aimar, nicknamed the clown, is definitely the source of Argentina's offensive imagination in this World Cup. His wonderful and smart breakthrough made people see the shadow of Maradona, and the goal in the final was even better. It was the Argentines who broke the deadlock early! At the same time, Aimar, who was selected as the best team in the World Cup, also ushered in the peak moment of his career!
Gustavo Lopez on the 17th, although he has no record of playing, Gustavo, as a member of the World Cup champion team, spent a wonderful summer with the team!
No. 18 Cambiasso, for the young Camby, maybe his stage will be four years later, but the experience of winning the World Cup in 2002 has given him a lot of rewards. After the World Cup, he will return to Real Madrid. For Cambiasso in Delhi, his future looks even brighter.
No. 19 Crespo, if the biggest beneficiary after Bielsa's transformation, Crespo is of course one of them. The sharp striker proved his strength with four goals!
No. 20 Gallardo, although the talented Gallardo didn't play much, but in the limited playing time, he still proved that he is the sharp machete on the pampas grassland!
Kaniggia, No. 21, the son of the wind, the 35-year-old Kaniggia finally realized his dream. He originally thought that the match against Sweden would be his farewell battle... However, it turns out that the World Cup final is Kaniggia's Farewell battle! The former comrade-in-arms of the old horse won the cup as he wished at the end of his career. For Caniggia, although his career process in the club was not exciting, but in the national team, he had a good start and a good end.
No. 22 Chamotte, although he was an anti-Leon faction together with Veron at the beginning, but after the national team gradually improved, Chamotte performed his duties well in the locker room, and the World Cup champion also treated him Rewards!
No. 23 Bonano, as the No. 3 goalkeeper, although Bonano didn't play for a minute, he was always ready to win the World Cup as he wished!
In the end, Argentines will always remember a name, captain No. 15, Leon Weir, the youngest captain of the national team in the history of Argentina, and the youngest captain in the long history of the World Cup!
The name of Lionwell, starting with his joining Bayern with 40 million pounds, will surely resound through the center of world football!
