Chapter 6 Ralph Rannick's Vision
Ralph Rangnick picked up the phone and saw that it was Gong Zheng's phone number. He really didn't know why Gong Zheng called him at this time. Did something happen? Ralph Rangnick immediately picked up the phone and asked, "Gong, why did you remember to call me?"
After listening to Ralph Rangnick's voice, Gong Zheng felt a lot more relaxed. For some reason, he really felt a lot more relaxed. Gong Zheng immediately said: "Nothing big is happening, I just want to ask you something!"[]
"I don't think you will ask me about ordinary little things. Is there something big happening?" Ralph Rangnick immediately frowned. Could it be that after the European Cup, Gong Zheng had the idea of leaving Hoffenheim?
"I just want to ask if Ditma Hope has the intention to sell me recently!" Gong Zheng asked very seriously.
Ralph Rangnick's heart immediately skipped a beat. Could it be that Gong Zheng really wants to leave Hoffenheim? Otherwise, would Gong Zheng ask this question? Ralph Rangnick immediately asked: "Gong, are there other clubs coming to find? Are you going to leave Hoffenheim?"
"Haha, how could this happen? Professor, you misunderstood me!" Gong Zheng now understood. It turned out that Ralph Rangnick was really nervous about him. Gong Zheng smiled and immediately said, "Professor, I don't mean to leave Hoffenheim now. But when I met Wenger, Wenger said Dietmar Hope had a selling point. I want to ask if this happened."
"What did you say? You met Wenger from Arsenal. Does he hope you can transfer to Arsenal?" Ralph Rangnick was shocked when he heard Wenger and Gong Zheng meet, so he didn't hear anything Gong Zheng said later.
"Yes, but I didn't agree. I didn't mean to leave Hoffenheim at this time, but I heard that the team's chairman had the intention to sell me recently. I want to confirm if there is any such thing!" Gong Zheng said immediately.
"Oh, that's right!" After hearing Gong Zheng's words, Ralph Rangnick's nervous heart relaxed. He still knew Gong Zheng's straightforward personality, it was impossible for Gong Zheng to say one thing, but do another thing. Since he said that he did not leave Hoffenheim now, it was not.
However, at this time, Gong Zheng actually cared about Ditma Hope's opinion so much. It seems that Gong Zheng's opinion on Hoffenheim is getting bigger and bigger. Oh no, to be precise, the problem with Ditma Hope is getting bigger and bigger.
However, Ralph Rangnick still did not hide Gong Zheng. He said this: "Yes, Wenger did not lie to you. Ditma Hope recently told me about your situation, and he also wanted to sell you. But he was finally suppressed. You don't have to think about this now. What I can assure you is that at least this season you are still from Hoffenheim. I also hope you can stay."
Hearing Ditma Hope really wanted to sell himself, Gong Zheng's heart suddenly became cold to the lowest point. Ditma Hope's mother had the idea of selling himself not long ago, and it was suppressed by Mr. Ralph Rangnick. How long has it been? He wants to sell his own again. Is his mother so unpopular?
Although he was very unhappy with Ditma Hope in his heart, he was very grateful to Hoffenheim. Even though he had great resentment towards Ditma Hope, Gong Zheng was still unsure of his determination to betray Hoffenheim first.
"Well, okay!" Gong Zheng sighed and said, "Actually, I don't want to leave Hoffenheim. It was Hoffenheim who gave me the opportunity to enter professional football. I am very grateful to Hoffenheim. Even if Dietma Hope is sorry for me, I will not be sorry for Hoffenheim!"
"Okay!" After hearing Gong Zheng's words, Ralph Rangnick shouted. But he sighed in his heart that this young man is such a good guy. If this happened to other players, they would have been clamoring to jump and transfer. Especially, Gong Zheng has just performed very well in the European Cup, very good. Is that the next family look like he lacked? If the others were Gong Zheng, he would have said goodbye to you Ditma Hope long ago. Ralph Rangnick is so happy that he has such a good player under his command.
"I'm so relieved that you can think so." Ralph Rangnick was also very unhappy about Ditma Hope's actions, but he still had to stabilize his disciples, "You are a good player, really!"
"Thank you, professor!" Gong Zheng said with a smile. Gong Zheng didn't want to continue discussing this topic anymore. Gong Zheng immediately said, "Professor, I want to ask what you think about our team's lineup in the new season, Louis and the others..."
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this, this is what I should be busy with!" Ralph Rangnick said with a smile, "They should be able to stay in the team. They have the strength to compete in the Bundesliga, and we, Hoffenheim, also want to seek stability and keep in the Bundesliga. So, I will keep them. We are discussing the buyout with them now. As for other things, we have players to add. You don't have to worry, do your best, I will do these myself!"
"Okay, that's it, professor, you're busy!" Gong Zheng felt much more at ease when he heard that his teammates could stay. He was really afraid that Hoffenheim would make any big moves at this time, so he would clean up again and then re-code the cards.
When Hoffenheim was promoted from the German Regional League Southern League to the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim carried out a big purge and crazy signing. At that time, Hoffenheim's investment was quite large, and the entire Bundesliga team could not compare, and even some Bundesliga teams could not compare. At that time, the entire Bundesliga team was waiting to see Hoffenheim's jokes.
Although the purge has improved Hoffenheim's strength, it has also made Hoffenheim in turmoil in the early stage, and the team took a lot of time to run in. This is also the reason why Hoffenheim's performance in the Bundesliga Division was so poor, and it is also a big reason why Gong Zheng performed very poorly.
When playing in the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim almost reassembled the entire team, and there was no tacit understanding between the players. If players like Gong Zheng have high requirements for midfield support, if the players on the wing and midfielder do not have tacit understanding with him and cannot accurately give him the ball, his performance will indeed be greatly reduced.
Moreover, at that time, Gong Zheng had just entered the professional football world and was impatient and lacking experience, so he performed so poorly. Fortunately, he fought back by himself later. If he couldn't resist, Gong Zheng would really have to lie down and would never stand up.
Therefore, now Gong Zheng is really a big purge and reorganization like Xu, which will inevitably affect his performance and the club's performance. The Bundesliga is not as easy as the Bundesliga. If you fall too much in the early stage, Hoffenheim will not return to the Bundesliga next season.
Moreover, Gong Zheng also knows his teammates very well. He believes that his teammates have the strength to play in the Bundesliga. Although he has never played in the Bundesliga himself, he believes that his teammates are in his heart and thinks that they can play in the Bundesliga, and he doesn't want these players to change.
In fact, not only Gong Zheng thinks so, but even the team's head coach Ralph Rangnick also thinks so. He thinks that the player in his team can indeed compete in the Bundesliga. At this time, he is converting these original loan players into buyouts.
First of all, Ralph Rangnick is going to talk to Brazil's Corinthian Club about the buyout of player Louis Gustavo. Since Luis Gustavo came on loan from Corinthian Club last season, he has always performed well, and he even quickly settled into the team's main midfielder. He is the main player in Ralph Rangnick's hands, and Ralph Rangnick believes that his ability is more than enough to deal with the Bundesliga.
Ralph Rangnick is different from Gong Zheng. Ralph Rangnick has been baptized in the Bundesliga. Before coaching Hoffenheim, Ralph Rangnick was a famous coach in the Bundesliga and even the entire Germany. He used to coach at Schalke 04 Club in the Bundesliga. He has a good understanding of the Bundesliga and is also very clear about the level of Bundesliga players. Therefore, he said that whoever has the Bundesliga level will have the Bundesliga level.
In fact, when Hoffenheim cleaned up and re-coded cards last season, Ralph Rangnick was considering today's Bundesliga path for Hoffenheim. The players he bought were all preparing for the Bundesliga, such as Ibissevic, Cinedu Obasi, Demba, Carlos Eduardo and so on. They were all powerful guys, so they collectively bought out at that time.
Why are Ishaq Wolsa, Louis Gustavo and others just loaned? Ralph Rangnick also considered it. First, Ralph Rangnick is optimistic about this player, but he is also a little unsure whether they have the strength of the Bundesliga, so he hesitated and gave these guys a loan contract to see if they have the ability to compete in the Bundesliga. Of course, they have absolutely the ability to compete in the Bundesliga. So, if they perform well in the Bundesliga match, Ralph Rangnick will transfer the loan to buy out.
The second thing is that at that time, the club where the players are located was not satisfied with the buyout price of Hoffenheim at that time. They hoped that Hoffenheim could rent the players for a season to see their performance, and then buy out after one season.
After this season's trial, Ralph Rangnick believes that the players he likes are all capable of fighting in the Bundesliga, especially Louis Gustavo. Therefore, the transfer Ralph Rangnick first talks about is Louis Gustavo.
In fact, last season, Ralph Rangnick meant to buy Louis Gustavo, but Corinthian refused to let go. This time, Ralph Rangnick was ready to take Louis Gustavo.
So, Ralph Rangnick immediately issued a offer to Brazil's Corinthian for one million euros to buy Louis Gustavo. At this time, Louis Gustavo also expressed his willingness to join Hoffenheim and he was ready to compete in the Bundesliga.
