Chapter 11 Complete Lineup
Ozil's personal contract is not difficult to negotiate.
In the past two years, Ozil has not had a good time at Manchester City. He has been competing with Silva for a position. It is still difficult to get much starting time with his best performance. Now, because he has no place in the team, Only transfer away.
However, Ozil is looking forward to the transfer, because it is Atletico Madrid to join, and the coach is Wansheng who brought himself to England.
Ozil played under Wansheng for two years, and he has always performed very well. He believes that as long as he arrives at Atletico Madrid, he will definitely be able to regain his former glory.
Therefore, Ozil does not have much requirements for his salary. Atletico Madrid gave a 4-year contract of 20 million euros. Compared with ordinary players, this contract is absolutely unthinkable, but for the world Not much for top stars.
After negotiations between the two sides, Ozil's father and agent Mustafa helped his son to win a salary of 22 million euros for four years. The main difference is that Mustafa asked for a signing fee of 2 million euros. , In addition, he also wants to indicate the terms of 'the number of appearances' in the contract. Obviously, Mustafa is afraid that his son will repeat the previous two years in Manchester City, and compete with Silva and Morris for the main position. The mistake of being great but not getting too many appearances.
But Atletico Madrid disagreed at all.
It was Deng Kai who came to negotiate on behalf of Atlético de Madrid, and he was also in charge of some transfer negotiations.
Other problems, such as the 2 million euro signing fee, are not big problems at all, but Deng Kai is not qualified to indicate the number of appearances in the contract. The only person in the club who has the right is Wansheng as the head coach.
Mustafa was not a good talker, and as a result Deng Kai had to call Wan Sheng.
In the end, Wansheng came forward.
He met Ozil and his father Mustafa in an office on the third floor of the club building.
"Mesut!"
Wan Sheng walked into the office with a smile and called Ozil's name directly. Ozil was stunned for a moment, and stood up almost like a conditioned reflex, shouting, "Boss!"
Immediately, both of them laughed.
The atmosphere of the office has been dignified and relaxed a lot.
Then Wan Sheng shook hands with Mustafa and said, "You have raised a good son. Mesut is one of the young people I value most."
Mustafa looked at Wan Sheng in surprise. In fact, although he heard Wan Sheng's name from the media or his son, this was the first time he had met Wan Sheng. He shook his head in surprise and said, "You are still a young man. ."
"thanks."
Wan Sheng thanked him and went straight to the topic, "I heard you're arguing about Mesut's appearances?"
When it comes to his own problems, Ozil does not speak.
Mustafa said, "Wan Sheng, first of all, thank you for cultivating Ozil. My son can reach the present level, and it is inseparable from you. However, you also know that Ozil's first two How is the season, he has no place at Manchester City at all, every time he plays well, it is difficult to have many appearances, so I hope to get these terms for him..."
"No no no." Wan Sheng shook his head and looked at Ozil, "Mesut, you should know that in my team, no one is the absolute main force, and no one will play in any game. I I don't want any one player to be different, if you have these clauses in your contract, a lot of times I absolutely have to use you... but that affects my judgment, you know?"
After Wan Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Mustafa again, "You should believe in your son, Mesut is a very good and talented player, but the club spent 42 million euros to bring him from Manchester City to Madrid. Do you think the whole world Which club would put a star for €4,200 on the bench? Manchester City? Maybe, but we don't have David Silva right now."
"Also, it doesn't matter if you have David Silva, when I was at Manchester City, Mesut, David and Lee played together a lot, and I was able to balance their relationship, so you don't have to worry about Mesut at all. The number of appearances is a problem.”
"As for the terms," Wan Sheng said seriously, "I won't let the club and any individual player sign this kind of terms. My team will not make exceptions, not even Mesut."
Wan Sheng refused to speak very seriously, which immediately made Mustafa feel that he could no longer talk.
But Ozil stood up and said, "I trust the boss, so be it!"
"But?" Mustafa frowned.
"It's nothing. When I went to Manchester City, I was not famous at all. The boss can make me a main player very quickly. Now that I have become famous, I believe in my ability, what are the number of appearances I worry about? And I also I don't want to go to another club, I just want to play under the boss!"
Ozil's firm words made the atmosphere much better, and Mustafa breathed a long breath, but finally stopped insisting.
After that, the two parties signed the contract directly.
At the moment when the contract was signed, Ozil let out a long sigh that he could finally end his life at Manchester City and start a new journey.
This time he is very confident, because he is the boss of the team - Wansheng!
Wan Sheng also let out a long breath.
The club signed Ozil, the main lineup is complete, and there is nothing that needs to be added next, and he no longer has to worry about the lineup.

Soon the official website of Atlético de Madrid announced the most important transfer, "Manchester City star Ozil moved to Atlético de Madrid for a transfer fee of 42 million euros."
Some contract details are also announced below. The general content is that Ozil has signed a contract for 4 years with an annual salary of 5.5 million euros. After that, the club is very happy with Ozil's arrival.
One stone shocked a thousand waves!
Ozil’s move to Atlético de Madrid is actually not a secret. Many media have previously revealed that Atlético de Madrid is looking to buy Ozil, but the value of 42 million euros is still very shocking. Ozil has become a summer player. The king of transfers.
If Ozil was transferred last summer, he would not have received so much attention, because last summer, the most worthy of reporting will always be C-Ronaldo, who joined Real Madrid with a worth of 80 million pounds and an annual salary of as much as With 12 million euros, Cristiano Ronaldo has become the football player with the world record for the highest single and cumulative transfer amount.
This summer, before and after the opening of the World Cup, there were not many large-scale transfers. The only thing that can be compared with Ozil's transfer is David Villa to join Barcelona, who helped Spain win the World Cup. The top scorer of the championship is worth only 40 million euros, followed by three acquisitions by Manchester City, Yaya Toure, Balotelli, Milner, Manchester City paid 28.75 million and 2800 for these three players respectively million euros and 26 million euros.
Ozil is worth more than David Villa and has become the king of the summer, which is still widely discussed.
Many Spanish media, including those who support Atletico Madrid, believe that Ozil is not worth the price.
"If it were two years ago, 40 million euros to buy the German talent was worth it, but he was silent at Manchester City for two seasons and couldn't compete with Silva at all..."
"Wansheng would rather spend a large sum of euros for his disciples..."
"It was an irrational transfer. It was said that Ozil could play well and whether he could adapt to La Liga is a question."
"..."
Amid the many voices of doubt, Atlético de Madrid was unmoved. On the third day, all agreements with Manchester City and Ozil himself had been reached, and Atlético de Madrid held a welcome ceremony for Ozil.
On July 14, Ozil officially appeared at the Calderon Stadium as an Atletico Madrid player, showing his No. 9 jersey.
The jersey belonged to Luis Garcia last season, who immediately joined Barcelona from Atletico Madrid.
After Ozil arrived, he took over the No. 9 jersey.
Although there was a lot of talk in the media, there were still nearly 50,000 fans who came to the scene to welcome them. They all came to the scene with anticipation.
No matter what the media say, Ozil is also a superstar with a heavyweight worth of 42 million euros. This price has broken the historical record of Atlético de Madrid’s transfers. Many fans want to see what this 42 million euro gentleman has three heads and six arms.
In the Calderon Stadium, Ozil showed his personal skills to the fans. His skilled ball skills and handsome face still captured the hearts of many fans.
After that, the media in Madrid began to look forward to Ozil's new season report.
The popularity of Ozil becoming the standard king has not yet passed. Many Madrid media are still reporting, but the official Atlético de Madrid club has continuously refreshed new news.
"Former Manchester City star, England's main player Maurice signed to join Atlético de Madrid, and the club offered him a three-year contract..."
"Bayern Munich striker Klose signed to join Atletico Madrid for a transfer worth 4 million euros..."
"The club used a buy-back clause to buy back Brazilian player Diego Costa..."
"Teenager Isco moved from Valencia to Atletico Madrid for 3.5 million euros..."
"The 17-year-old teenager Varane moved from Lille AS-Hellemmes to Atletico Madrid for 800,000 euros..."
"Chinese teenager Wang Qiuming signs with Atlético de Madrid..."
"..."
One message after another made the media and fans feel overwhelmed.
Among these news, there is no doubt that the joining of Morris and Klose is the most important.
In the World Cup in South Africa, Klose personally scored 4 goals and won the World Cup Silver Boot Award, which also let more fans know the name of German veteran Klose.
Although he can't play the main force in Bayern Munich, his scoring efficiency is worthy of recognition.
The Madrid media thought, "The signing of Klose for 4 million is a very cost-effective transaction. The team has a good supplement in the frontcourt. The only worry is how long the German veteran can maintain his state..."
The addition of Morris is even more attractive.
Even in the World Cup in South Africa, the overall performance of the England team was not good, but there were not many media and fans criticizing Morris. He was the only player in the England team who was in a stable state.
Morris was also the recipient of the 2008 Golden Globe Award.
This award is also a sign. In the hearts of the media and fans, Morris has surpassed Gerrard and Lampard to become one of the top players in the world.
The subsequent signings of Diego Coster, Isco, Varane and Wang Qiuming were not given much attention. The Aspen newspaper reported, “Wansheng is thinking about the future of the team. Good at developing players, but these few players, it is difficult to play many games next season."
At the same time, even the media has found a problem - with the addition of the above players, Atletico Madrid's lineup has piled up a bit.
At this time, Wansheng has already launched a drastic clean-up operation. He listed the players he didn't need one by one. Suddenly, many clubs became interested in the players listed by Atlético de Madrid, because several of them were on the list. Players who have done well this season.
For Atletico Madrid to clean up these players, naturally they will not be demanding too much in transfer negotiations.
So one deal was struck.
At the age of 20, Salvio, known as the 'Argentine genius', was sold to Benfica for 8 million euros.
Ibrahima Toure, who is almost past his peak, was dealt to Numancia at a low price of 2 million euros.
Jurado, who is in his prime, is the most valuable among the clean-up players, and is what many clubs want. After a series of negotiations, Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga got him for 13 million euros.
The 19-year-old young striker Pacheco still has some potential, and Atletico Madrid has loaned him to Argentina Independencia.
At the same time, the club also negotiated with several players such as Pablo and Camacho to terminate the contract.
Their ability can't keep up, and they have no potential to speak of. Rather than wasting a salary at the club, it is better to leave freely.
After a series of purges, the media lamented that Atlético de Madrid was taken advantage of, but Wansheng believes that it is difficult for the purged players to get a chance to play in the new season, so they are almost useless to the team.
Rather than wasting a salary, it is better to let them leave early, which also brings a lot of money to the club.
This cleaning is definitely worth it.
After the cleaning work was over, Wan Sheng also let out a long breath. Looking at the current list of players in his hand, he felt that this was his team.
Look at the date, the preparations for the new season are about to begin!
