"You know, too?" Zhang looked up and down at Ivan and asked.
"Yes." Ivan walked into the room. After reaching face-to-face with Zhang Xian he said: "Due to the lack of personnel in our club, the scouting department and the junior team are strongly related.."
"For example, the scouting department will find some young players for the junior team, and at the same time, they will have the qualifications to recommend them to the first team. So Every time we recommend someone, we need the scouting department to discuss it with the junior team coaching staff before taking action. "
Zhang Xian nodded and asked; "Then where is the problem?"
"Harden Bazel."
Zhang Xian turned his head and asked, "Who is this?"
Braden hurriedly said: "There are three scouts in the scouting department, and Harden Bazel is one of them."
"What's wrong with him?"
Braden hesitated, and glanced at Ivan subconsciously, who said lightly: "He is a big problem."
"Every time we suggest someone for the first team, we conventionally discuss the most talented young players in our internal meetings, but Harden Bazel always stirs up trouble and he will always suggest some odd players. And in our opinion, those little player has no talent!"
"You mean," Zhang Xian said, narrowing his eyes.
"This is only our guess, but it does not mean that he did not accept bribes or extortion!" Ivan said powerfully.
Zhang Xian subconsciously wiped his chin.
This problem is enormous. This is not office politics. Bribery or blackmail has a terrible effect. And he is even blackmailing the youth team players. There may be unspoken rules, but a child should not be subjected to such an industry. This is equivalent to stifling the dream of a young player, and it also destroys the future of the club.
This is a really big problem, and it has risen to another level. If one is not careful, it will even involve Hoffenheim's reputation.
"I see."
Zhang now intends to keep silent. After all, this kind of thing has to be handled in a low-key manner. Separate it from Hoffenheim as much as possible. If there is a problem, he will fire Harden Bazel without hesitation.
After explaining the investment, Zhang Xian asked for the phone number of Haden Bazel, and then studied the scout log. Among them, Zhang Xian found an issue. They have a total of three scouts. The other two constantly upload various player information from adult players to juvenile players, but this Harde Bazel did not upload any report.
So, what does the club do with such a scout? Zhang Xian decided to take a closer look. He first came to the construction site to find little Chiellini, took the key of the Raptor pickup from him, and drove the vehicle away from Hoffenheim.
From the scout log, it can be found that Harden Bazel has been mixing in several middle schools in Sinsheim. Zhang Xian also pursued this goal.
After searching, Zhang found that Sinsheim has only two middle schools, making finding people easier. Furthermore, Zhang Xian was lucky to find Harden Bazel in the first school. Harden Bazel was standing on the other side of the isolation fence of the school playground. With long hair in a shawl, dangled in a mess, he is of moderate build. He was wearing work shorts and a dark green jacket while holding a pen and a notebook in his hand. He has his head hunched down as he notes something. Zhang Xian did not go up to disturb him but stood not far away to observe the opponent while looking at the running teenager on the field.
German teenagers have a top level of football skills. Each and everyone plays suitably They stand tightly and move efficiently.
Zhang Xian remembers that he had played football for a period. But playing football in China is like a group of people only chasing down the ball. There is no planning, no commitment to the game.
On the other hand, these youths' footballs are very well organized. Although Zhang Xian doesn't understand the details, it can be said that they have an internal taste. At this time, he saw a young boy blowing into the wind at his feet. The speed was so fast that he flickered right and left in the crowd, dribbling gracefully.
"Don't let him break through!"
"Stop him!"
Other young players were trying to stop the young man, but the latter's speed was too fast. Coupled with his extremely quick change of direction and breakthrough, he disturbed the back line of defence.
At this time, a stronger teenager suddenly shot out from a specific direction with a clean sliding shovel which cut off the attack.
This sliding shovel is extremely perfect, and Zhang Xian couldn't help but want to applaud.
At this moment, a fierce shout sounded.
"Shit! What are you doing?! Do you want to abolish the kid? How old is he? This is the time to cultivate the foundation and sense of the ball, not to let them learn how to abolish each other!"
Zhang Xian turned his head and looked around, and saw Harden Bazel angrily clutching the isolation fence, roaring like an angry lion.
"And how did you become a coach? You are murdering. Don't you know that they aimed the sliding tackle at the ball? What does the kick just now mean? You are not teaching players, you are teaching butchers!"
Harden Bazel continued to swear, but the people on the opposite side of the isolation fence seemed to have become accustomed to him, and they didn't care about him at all and continued to play their games.
And the young man who was overthrown also got up with a wry smile and reluctantly made a silent nod towards Harden Bazel. But this makes the latter even angrier. Zhang Xian looked at the pair strangely, a little unclear.
Observing for a while, Zhang Xian walked straight over.
Harden Bazel still whispered in a low voice: "Idiot! Asshole! Crude style of play, this is definitely learning from the English guys!"
Zhang Xian naturally said, "Is there a problem with what they teach?"
"Are you questioning? He is teaching those kids how to abolish their companions!" Harden Bazel said angrily, and then he felt something was amiss, so he turned his head to glance at Zhang Xian, and asked: "Do you know football?"
Zhang Xian looked at the court and said, "A little."
Harden Bazel got interested. He closed the book to his arm and said enthusiastically: "Look, how long will it take to run from the big restricted area to the middle circle?"
Zhang Xian checked the distance visually and said: "50 meters, about 5 seconds?"
"4.88 seconds!" Harden Bazel reported accurate data. He patted his hands and exclaimed excitedly: "Do you know what this means?"
After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Xian's answer, he took the conversation by himself.
"The fastest record in football today is 4.78 seconds. This is the case of running with the ball, and Jian can run in 5 seconds. This represents how much potential, do you understand?"
"This means that he may become the fastest man in football! Football is basically a sport of chasing speed and strength. Jian's talent will shock the whole world! He is only 16 years old but he still runs so fast. No matter how he is now, he can become the most shining star in Europe with just some systematic training!"
Harden Bazel said confidently.
Zhang Xian nodded slightly, and said, "The boy who was overthrown just now was called Jian?"
"Yes, he is a real genius. I am going to focus on training him. He will definitely become Hoffenheim's superstar going out!"
"Why go out? Isn't it good to stay here?"
Harden Bazel laughed at himself: "Why should he stay here? Let him play amateur games? This is a waste of his talent."
"What if Hoffenheim enters the profession? What if Jian can lead Hoffenheim all the way into the Bundesliga?"
"Ha! How could it be possible? The only Hoffenheim's team called Meteor."
Zhang Xian said lightly: "It has been renamed, now it's called Hoffenheim. The full name is Hoffenheim Football Club!"
Hearing this, Harden Bazel's almost choked himself. He then turned his head in astonishment and said, "Who are you?"
Zhang Xian turned his head and smiled and said: "Allow me to Introduce myself, Zhang Xian, a Chinese and the current sports director of Hoffenheim Football Club!"
Half an hour later, the two sat in a cafe.
Harden Bazel is a little restrained. This feeling was like being lazy and being caught by the boss.
Zhang took a sip of coffee slowly and said, "Let's talk about it."
"What?" Harden Bazel asked subconsciously.
"Why didn't you submit a scout report?"
Harden Bazel curled his lips and mumbled: "What's the use? It will get sold out in the end."
"Sell it?" Zhang Xian was stunned.
"Don't you know? The outstanding players of the junior team will be sold to the youth academy teams at a high price."
Zhang froze. What kind of operation is this?
Harden Bazel continued: "In the last three years, no youth team player was never promoted to the first team. Have you ever thought that something was wrong?"
"Because of Schneider Bach?"
This is Hoffenheim's ball master and a star player. For this person, Zhang Xian is very awed although he has never seen him before.
"Bach doesn't care about this kind of thing." Harden Bazel waved his hand: "Small players are rookies even if they are promoted to the first team. They can't affect Bach's status at all. Why is there no example of a junior team being promoted to the first team? Because what they recommend are all straw bales and waste! They sold the excellent ones!"
Zhang Xian caught the language disorder, raised his eyebrows and said, "They? Who are you referring to?"
Harden Bazel did not speak anymore.
Zhang Xian continued: "Ivan?"
"It's not him!" Harden Bazel shouted angrily, which surprised Zhang Xian.
"No one loves this club more than Ivan."
Zhang Xian's expression is a bit weird. After all, it was precisely because of Ivan's report that Zhang Xian came to Harden Bazel. Now this person is actually defending Ivan.
What is this relationship?
After Zhang Xian explained the matter clearly, he saw Harden Bazel with a wry smile: "He might have misunderstood."
"Misunderstand?"
"Yes, because the children can't get better training in the junior team, so sometimes I will give them a small opportunity. After the children's parents know it, they will give me some money. Ivan saw this scene and so there was a big fight."
Harden Bazel scratched his head and said: "The money is very small, only 100 euros, and they will give it one time."
Zhang Xian closed his eyes slightly. He felt a little winding.
So, the youth team has a ghost, Ivan always thought it was Bazel, because he saw Bazel charge money.
And Bazel also knew that the Junior Team had a ghost, but he didn't point it out for some reason! These inner ghosts sell excellent young players to other youth academies at high prices to earn hardships or referral fees. So, here comes the problem.
"Why didn't you report?"
Harden Bazel bitterly said: "I have reported to the previous director about this issue, but I haven't received a reply. Later, I found out that the inner ghost stuffed the director with a thick envelope."
Well, Zhang Xian understands.
There is no need to guess inside the ghost, that is, two scouts besides Harden Bazel. However, Zhang Xian is not sure, he needs further verification. For this, Zhang Xian summoned two other scouts and Ivan, hoping to find the truth face-to-face.
