Chapter 228 Actively Exchange Blood

Zhou Tiancheng was stunned, he didn't understand their decision at all.

Especially when he heard about the next home of the two, Rakitic's next stop is La Liga Sevilla, while Westerman is still going around in the Bundesliga, he has decided to accept Hamburg's offer to him.

"What do you two think? I thought that teams like Manchester United and Real Madrid were recruiting you. If you go to Seville and Hamburg, why don't you stay? Wouldn't it be good for everyone to stay here and continue to compete for the championship?"

Rakitic shook his head and said: "The championship that should be won has already been won, it is time to change the environment, Zhou, I think you are the same, you want to play here for the rest of your life."

"It's just one season of success. You don't think that we created a dynasty together that will be remembered by every generation of Schalke players."

Rakitic shook his head: "I'm not interested in this. Although Sevilla is weaker, I have the confidence to be the core there. I want to go to a place that can better reflect value."

Zhou Tiancheng was at a loss for words for a moment, this answer made him not know how to speak. Indeed, in this team, he has a lot of offensive dominance, and Rakitic is only a supporting role. Although he usually didn't say anything, Zhou Tiancheng could tell from his frequent participation in offenses whenever he had the opportunity that this guy had a strong desire to express himself. In Schalke, he did not have such an opportunity. Naturally, it was impossible for Zhou Tiancheng to step down. His status in the locker room and his private relationship were two completely different things.

"Okay, but we may not see each other in the future. Sevilla is a professional player in the Europa League. They have always been laymen in the Champions League. But I think you definitely don't want to meet me,"

Rakitic snorted and said, "According to your Chinese words, fate. If there is fate, I am looking forward to having a game with you. You have no secrets in front of me."

Zhou Tiancheng patted him on the shoulder vigorously, leaned into his ear and said, "Go ahead, don't expect me to be merciful like in training."

Then Zhou Tiancheng turned his head and said to Westerman: "Heike, I didn't expect that someone like you would be a deserter and degenerate into that kind of team to hang out. It's the same sentence, since you can't be a teammate, See you again, but I won't hold back."

"Zhou, don't blame me for not reminding you, be careful of your legs then." Westerman laughed.

Zhou Tiancheng was still a little bit disappointed to send away two teammates who had been working together since he entered the first team. In professional football, camaraderie and assurance are so pale. Separation and reunion are the main theme, and interests are the only consideration.

Including himself is the same. Although he expressed his loyalty when signing the contract with the club, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

But what Zhou Tiancheng didn't expect was that when the team reported for duty again, he found that many familiar faces in the team were gone.

In just one month, when the World Cup is in full swing, Schalke is also intensively planning to upgrade the existing lineup. According to Magath's vision, the club's main lineup will be further rejuvenated this season. The bench lineup was further strengthened. This means that there are a lot of new blood added, and Schalke will naturally slim down the existing lineup.

Today's Bundesliga transfer, the biggest topic is not Bayern, but Schalke. They won the championship last season, and the media paid close attention to them in Xia Chuang, paying close attention to what big money they had. This season is the same, and even the first-line media in England, Spain and France gave Schalke a place when they made transfer expectations. They are now the focus of the entire European football.

However, Schalke did the opposite again. When everyone was expecting their big signings, they first came to a fierce transfer and cash operation.

Schalke first announced Rakitic's transfer official announcement, which shocked the entire Bundesliga. No one expected that Schalke would give up their main midfielder. Many media were in a wait-and-see state for the first time. , They don't believe that Schalke will make such a stupid move.

But almost at the same time, Sevilla's official website issued an announcement, welcoming the new Champions League champion midfielder Rakitic to join the team. The contract between Sevilla and Rakitic ends on June 30, 2015. At the same time, the official announced that this transfer is already a certainty.

But before the various media responded to this matter, Schalke announced the news of the players leaving the team one after another.

Team captain Westermann moved to Hamburg for 7.5 million euros; the meritorious forward Kuranyi of the first two seasons joined the Russian Super League Dynamo Moscow freely; last season's main left winger Asamoah also left the team Joining the newly promoted St. Pauli in the new season, the team's defensive veteran Bordon moved to the Qatar Rayyan Club, and the main right back Rafinha moved to Genoa. This is the team's most profitable transfer. Schalke received 900 million euro transfer fee.

In addition, Holtby's loan period has expired, but Schalke did not recall him, but continued to sublet him to Mainz 05. Another striker, Germagne Jones, who could not play the main role, also Short-term loan to Blackburn.

Schalke's official announcement of seven consecutive kills is like seven blockbuster bombs, which immediately attracted a large number of media reports. Originally, everyone thought that Schalke was unlikely to dismantle the core lineup, but the current situation has far deviated from all media estimates.

Sports director Helter said in an interview with the media: "This is only the first step in strengthening the team after winning the championship. We fully respect the opinions of the coaching staff. Everything is going well. The current cleaning of the lineup is just to prepare for the arrival of new players. "

However, there was no news of the team's signings. For a while, rumors spread, and the media's mentality of making something out of nothing could not be stopped. Especially some media that regard Schalke as their sworn enemy. In Germany, this part of the media is mainly concentrated in Munich, and they have a great influence in German football. From Helter's response, he even smelled the opportunity to make a big fuss.

Cleaning up the four absolute main players who won the Triple Crown last season does not seem to be the rhythm of strengthening the lineup. It seems that Schalke was forced to give up. After all, last season just reached an unprecedented height. According to the usual practice, the main players will generally ask for salary increases, but Schalke, who has always been petty, must not agree with the main players' salary increases. The main force lost in large numbers

The media in Munich and Dortmund were the most active. They excerpted the report that Schalke was trying to build a dynasty at the end of last season and taunted them wildly: Schalke's "dynasty" disappeared before it even started.

Süddeutsche Zeitung smelled a chance, and they began to advise Bayern: It is time for Bayern to make a move, and they have already begun to let go of the main players, so players like Zhou Tiancheng who often cause trouble for Bayern must not be poached by other teams

ps: Due to the needs of the plot, Rakitic left Schalke half a season earlier. If he does not leave, some players will not be able to play.
