Chapter 19: The Busy Ralph Transfers in Winter

Shortly after the winter transfer opened, Hoffenheim introduced two players, goalkeeper Tim Hildebran and left-back Fabio Grosso Hoffenheim's efficiency in signing was still very high. At this time, they introduced two players to strengthen the team's defense.

At this time, the winter transfer has just begun, so everyone thinks that Hoffenheim should have some moves. Although their defense has been strengthened, Hoffenheim's defense is still not strong. In the position of the central defender, they have several young central defenders with good potential. Marvin Compper has firmly held the main position, but this group of central defenders are very young and have insufficient experience. Therefore, at this time, everyone thinks that Ralph Rangnick will introduce an experienced central defender.

According to media claims that Hoffenheim's head coach Ralph Rangnick has taken a fancy to Hertha Berlin's central defender Simunic.

Simonic, born in Australia in 1978, graduated from the Australian Sports Academy in Canberra and is also a "top student" on the green field. As a central defender, Simonic lacks speed, but his ability to read games is very strong and always appears where he should appear. Although Simonic was born in Australia, he joined the Eastern European Iron Cavalry after receiving an invitation from the Croatian national team in 2001.

Simonic is the main central defender of Hertha Berlin. The team needs him, and he also likes Hertha Berlin. He has played for this team for nine seasons, won countless praises, and is also a hero in the minds of Berlin fans. On the one hand, Simonic has a deep relationship with the club, and on the other hand, the team also needs him.

However, this guy is not unshakable. In fact, in the 2006-07 season, when his contract with the club expired, he said that he would not renew his contract with Hertha Berlin. Because at that time, the Italian giants AC Milan had an intention to introduce him and hoped to introduce this central defender. AC Milan's Maldini would show that if AC Milan introduced this 1.91 high school defender, AC Milan's air defense capability would definitely be much strengthened, and at that time Simoni was only 28 years old, in his year of playing.

Moreover, Simonic also has a special liking for AC Milan, and he also wants to join AC Milan very much, so he announced that he would not renew his contract with Hertha Berlin. At that time, the fans of Hertha Berlin were very anxious because Simonic played a very important role in the hearts of Hertha Berlin fans.

But at that time, AC Milan was just a thunder and rainy drop. In the end, Simunic and AC Milan missed it, so he chose to stay in the team. After staying in the team, Simunic performed very well and was deeply loved by fans. However, at this time, news came out that he had a disagreement with the club's head coach Falff.

That's because Favre let Simunic play a substitute in the second round of the season. This is the first time that Croatian central defender has played as a substitute since October 22, 2005. Although Favre later explained that it was because Simunic had just played for Croatia and was in poor physical condition, Simunic firmly opposed this statement because his central defender partner Fredrich said before the game that he was not physically good, but still started. What made Simunic and his teammates even more dissatisfied was Favre's direct central defender Kaka.

It is because of this that there is a rift in the relationship between Simunic and Hertha Berlin head coach Falf. Ralph Rangnick saw this and he turned his attention to Simunic. He hopes to introduce this Croatian central defender.

Simonic has rich defensive experience and has been up and down in the Bundesliga for many years. This is Hoffenheim's most suitable candidate. However, after Ralph Rangnick's offer, Hertha Berlin's reply to Gong Zheng was that Simonic is a non-selling product from Hertha Berlin, and they will not sell it.

When Simonic's contract expired in the 2006-07 season, after missing AC Milan, he renewed his contract with Hertha Berlin for three years. This year, it is only the second year. Hertha Berlin also needs such a central defender, so of course they will not let Simonic go.

However, after the end of this season, Simonic and Hertha Berlin will have only one year left. If Simonic does not renew the contract with Hertha Berlin, Hertha Berlin will have to consider selling Simonic, otherwise they will not get a penny after Simonic's contract expires.

So, when rejecting Hoffenheim at this time, they also said that Simonic left Hertha Berlin this season, but it is not impossible after this season.

Of course Ralph Rangnick knew what the other party meant, and Ralph Rangnick had to temporarily strand the transfer.

While Hoffenheim was crazily seeking foreign players, Hoffenheim's players were also poached by other clubs. Because their performance in the first half of the season was so outstanding, Hoffenheim's entire team attracted the attention of the entire Europe. The most dazzling one among them was naturally the scorer Gong Zheng who scored 21 goals.

If anyone doubted Gong Zheng after the European Cup, then no one in European football now doubted Gong Zheng. This guy is simply a goal machine. Who would have thought that in just half a season, he had already put the best scorer in his arms.

At this time, no one doubts that Gong Zheng can win the Bundesliga top scorer this season. The only suspense now is how many goals will Gong Zheng win the Bundesliga top scorer this season. Can he break Gede Muller's record of 40 goals in a single season?

This is a very big suspense in the Bundesliga this season, which is that this suspense has attracted more people to pay attention to the Bundesliga. Of course, Hoffenheim's crazy performance this season has also attracted more people to pay attention to the Bundesliga. This season's Bundesliga has attracted much attention because of Hoffenheim, bringing vitality to the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich's general manager Heness praised Gong Zheng, believing that he is Hoffenheim's most threatening player and Hoffenheim's number one star. Then some media revealed that Hoffenheim received a price question from Bayern Munich, and they wanted to buy Gong Zheng!

Of course, Hoffenheim Club cannot sell its team's captain and absolute core. So the deal ends here without any follow-up stories.

As for the rest, whether it is Arsenal, Juventus, or Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​AC Milan... all of them were clarified by Hoffenheim: "We have not received the offer from these clubs. In fact, even if we receive it, we will not sell it. Gong is our treasure, and it is absolutely non-selling!"

This is what the club general manager Rothouse said.

Then Ditma Hope also expressed his opinion on Gong Zheng's transfer rumors: "We will not sell any players. Hoffenheim does not need to sell players for money."

Yes, Ditma Hope has the confidence to say such things, because he is rich, he will not rely on selling players and running a club. However, what he said is about Gong Zheng, so no one who hears this believes Ditma Hope's words.

The rumors that Dietma Hope is not optimistic about Gong Zheng have been circulating in European football, which is the main reason why so many teams are chasing Gong Zheng. Although they have hit countless walls in front of Hoffenheim Club, they still persist in pursuing Gong Zheng, which is also because of this.

However, no one is a fool. They all know that in this season, Hoffenheim will definitely not sell Gong Zheng. If Hoffenheim sells Gong Zheng at this time, then if Hoffenheim loses the pellet at the end of the season, Ditma Hope and Hoffenheim clubs will definitely be strongly condemned by fans, and even lose many fans. Ditma Hope will certainly not do this.

Although, at this time, they will no longer offer to Hoffenheim Club, they have been observing Gong Zheng and will take action whenever they have the chance.

Gong Zheng is about to be unable to buy it, so they shifted their targets. In fact, in addition to Gong Zheng, there are still many players in Hoffenheim who are fascinating, such as Vedad Ibisekic, Cinedu Obasi, Salihovic, etc.

The most popular one is Bosnia and Herzegovich midfielder Salihovic. The role of the Bosnian in Hoffenheim's midfield is very obvious. Both his breakthrough and pass are very threatening. Most of Hoffenheim's offenses originated from him, and this guy also has a very beautiful free kick and long pass, and his strength is outstanding.

At this time, the players who were interested in this include Manchester United in the Premier League, Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, Inter Milan in Italy, Atletico Madrid in Spain and other teams.

In fact, the most urgent thing is Atletico Madrid in Spain. They are very optimistic about the Bosnia and Herzegovina midfielder. They bid Hoffenheim for 13 million euros, hoping to introduce the Bosnia and Herzegovina midfielder. However, Hoffenheim immediately rejected Atletico Madrid's offer, claiming that Salihovic is their non-sale product.

Juventus valued Vedad Ibissevic. Since you don’t sell Gong Zheng, then I can buy your substitute for Gong Zheng. They immediately offered Hoffenheim eight million, hoping to introduce this Bosnia and Herzegovina striker.

Juventus people think that Vedad Ibissevic doesn't have to be much worse than Gong Zheng, and Vedad Ibissevic's skills at feet are much better than Gong Zheng. Vedad Ibissevic can get the ball and control the ball. They think that if there is no Gong Zheng, Vedad Ibissevic can also shine in Hoffenheim.

However, what Juventus did not expect was that Hoffenheim actually rejected Juventus with "non-sale products". One of his grandmother's substitutes was actually called "non-sale products", which was simply too disgusting.

Arsenal are chasing Chinedu Obasi. They originally had a crush on Chinedu Obasi before they introduced Chinedu Obasi at Hoffenheim, but they were taken the lead by Hoffenheim. In the end, they and Chinedu Obasi missed it. Now that they suffer losses in Gong Zheng, they hope to introduce Chinedu Obasi who plays as a substitute at Hoffenheim.

Since Chinedu Obasi went to participate in the Beijing Olympics at the beginning of the season and did not practice with the team at all. After he came back, he became the team's substitute. Therefore, Arsenal would think that Chinedu Obasi would definitely be dissatisfied. They believed that when they took action at this time, Chinedu Obasi would definitely put pressure on Hoffenheim.

But Chinedu Obasi had no intention of leaving, and Hoffenheim had no intention of selling him, so Arsenal had to give up.
