Chapter 29 A trip to Zagreb
Located in the northwest of Croatia, Zagreb is the capital of Croatia and the political, economic and cultural center of Croatia. Zagreb is a famous historical and cultural city in Central Europe, with many scenic spots and picturesque scenery, but Lin Fenglei is not here to see the scenery. Lin Fenglei was thinking about the intention of the Dynamo team inviting him all the way. After thinking about it, he didn't think of a reason all the way, so he didn't think about it at all. Anyway, since the other party invited him over, it should not be malicious. There will probably be no problem with Kufrai's transfer. It's worth it if he can achieve this goal. OK.
The two got off the plane and got out of the airport. At a glance, they saw the people who came to pick up the Dynamo Club, because they held a large slogan with the words "Welcome Mr. Lin Fenglei" in Chinese and English. Lin Fenglei and Chedley looked at each other. It seemed that the Dynamo Club was really careful. .
The two walked to the pick-up staff of the Dynamo Club. A middle-aged man about 50 walked to Lin Fenglei and stretched out his right hand with a warm smile on his face: "Are you Mr. Lin?" He uses English, and both Lin Fenglei and Chedley can understand it.
Lin Fenglei stretched out his right hand with a smile: "I am." After shaking hands with the middle-aged man, he introduced the identity of Chedley to the other party: "This is Mr. Chedley, the transfer director of our club." The middle-aged man took Chedley's hand again and welcomed him.
After the cold noise, the middle-aged man introduced his identity to Lin Fenglei. It turned out that he was Damir Vrbanovic, the general manager of the Dinamo Club in Zagreb. Lin Fenglei and Chedley looked at each other. The reception specifications of the other party were quite high. Unexpectedly, Verbanovi Qi then introduced a young man in his 30s behind them: "This is Robert, the vice chairman of our club. Roberto Barisic is also the president of our club. The youngest son of MircoBarisic.
Barisic has been standing behind Verbanovic, with a smile on his face. Lin Fenglei thought he was an entourage of Verbanovic, but he didn't expect that he was today's big boss. He hurried forward and shouted with Barisić, "I don't know if Mr. Vice President is here. Please forgive me if it's rude."
Barisic is very easy-going. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Mr. Lin doesn't know my identity. My father is so old that he can't greet you in person, so I will receive the two distinguished guests today. With that, he let Lin Fenglei get into his own car, a Rolls-Royce RV, and Chedley was invited by Verbanović to his car, a Mercedes-Benz.
After getting on the bus, Barisic ordered the driver to go to the best restaurant in Zagreb. After driving, Lin Fenglei looked curiously at the facilities in the car. He hadn't taken this kind of car before. Barisiqi smiled and said, "Actually, I don't like to take this kind of car. I like that kind of sports cars, such as Ferrari and Lamborghini, but my father doesn't like me to drive those cars. He must let me take this kind of car and say something. It is the identity of our family. But today this car is very suitable for receiving distinguished guests like Mr. Lin.
Barisic's personality is very fond of Lin Fenglei's road, which suddenly made Lin Fenglei have a good impression. Lin Fenglei said, "I dare not, I can't afford the title of VIP. Mr. Barisic, don't be too polite. Just call me Lin.
Barisic is overjoyed: "It turns out that your personality is so straightforward, so don't call me Mr. Barisic. Just call me Robert."
Barisic introduced the scenic spots and historical sites of Zagreb to Lin Fenglei all the way. Two people of the same age soon felt like confidants.
After the car arrived at the destination, the guests and four of them entered the pre-booked private room in the restaurant and sat down on a large table. Balvinovic ordered the waiter to start serving. After the dishes were served, Barisic raised his glass and said with a smile, "Welcome Mr. Lin and Chedley. Let's use this glass of wine to wash the dust for you."
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Fenglei winped at Cedley. Cedley asked Balvinovic, "Thank you for your warm hospitality, but I don't know the purpose of your club inviting us here this time?"
Barvinovic looked at Barisic, and Barisic nodded. Only then did Balvinovic say the purpose of inviting Lin Fenglei to come this time.
Dinamo Zagreb is a dominant team in Croatia. In the 15 years since Croatia's independence, it has won a total of 11 domestic league championships, 8 cup championships and 7 Super Cup championships. It can be said that it has unlimited scenery in China and no opponents, but their results in Europe are somewhat bleak. They have won the UEFA Cup championship and the runner-up once in history, but that was all in the 1960s. Since the beginning of the new century, they have never had any commendable results in the European arena. At present, the honors of the European arena are more and more held by those giants. It is no longer the miracle that Dinamo Zagreb can win the UEFA Cup, the Red Stars of Belgrade and the Bucharest Stars can win the European Champions League in the last century, because the current small team will be defeated by the giants as soon as talented players appear. The hand is taken away, and the geniuses also yearn to play football in the rich, because going there means more attention, more income and more honors. Which player doesn't play for these things? Therefore, the current non-tycoon teams are unable to compete with the rich team at all. Although the Barisic family is a giant in Croatia, it is also unable to resist. Mirko, the current president of the Dynamo Club. Barisic is over 70 years old and doesn't have the ambition and energy to change these, but most of the affairs of the club have been transferred to his youngest son, Robert. Barisic, little Barisic is an ambitious person. He is only in his early 30s, and it is also the time when he is energetic. He hopes to change all this in his hands, but it is far from enough to change all with the strength of their clubs, so he has also contacted many clubs similar to their situation. For example, teams such as the Red Star Belgrade, the Guerrillas of Belgrade and the Star of Bucharest have set up an alliance, brewing the power of resistance.
Last season, Goshao asked Dynamo for Antunović. Originally, Dynamo Club was not going to let go of this new star, but little Barisic noticed the change of Gosho's club after Lin Fenglei took office and was very interested in him, so he motioned Balvinovic to sell Antunović to Lin Fenglei, and there was no time. I hope to establish a good relationship with Lin Fenglei. Sure enough, the Goshao Club has shined in this season. It not only relegated in advance, but also won the cup championship and entered the European arena, achieving what the Goshao Club has not done in the past 100 years, and all this is Lin Fenglei, a Chinese. Bring it, little Barisic, who has been paying attention to the Gosau Club, knows that he didn't look away this time. So I took the opportunity of the Gosho Club to buy Kufre and invited Lin Fenglei to Zagreb.
After listening to Balvinovic's words, Lin Fenglei meditated and said, "So your club invited me to come, do you want the Gosho Club to join this league?"
Barisic nodded with a smile. Lin Fenglei quickly calculated the advantages and disadvantages of joining the league. Of course, there are many advantages. Although several clubs he knows in this league are all small clubs, they are just relatively speaking, they are actually the dominant teams in their respective leagues. It is profound. Compared with Goshao, a little shrimp, it is a big crocodile. Of course, it is a good thing to form an alliance with them. At the very least, the possibility that he will get Kufre now is quite large. There must be disadvantages. At present, the European giants monopolize the honor of European football. If they know that an alliance is brewing When fighting against them, they will certainly spare no effort to suppress the team in the league. Although the rich are also competing for honor, it is just a game between them. Externally, they also have a league called G14. But what does that have to do with me? Lin Fenglei thought, what can Goshao lose even if he is suppressed by them? When it was time to have the strength to compete for honor with rich families, Lin Fenglei believed that with his modifier, he could grab food no matter how much he was suppressed.
Thinking of this, Lin Fenglei nodded to Barisic with a smile: "I personally agree to join this league, but Robert, you know that the club is still in charge of Mr. Gnegi at present, and I still need to go back to report this matter to him before I can make a decision."
Barisic shook his head: "You're wrong, Lin. I only value you. As for the Gosho Club, what's the difference between them and thousands of other clubs in Europe without you? So, as long as you agree, we are allies.
Lin Fenglei was shocked. He didn't expect Barisic to value him so much, but then he was relieved. After all, his achievements in these two seasons are also extraordinary, but Barisic's vision is also extraordinary. He can invest without much fame, which shows that his courage is also extraordinary. It seems that this person is not an idle person.
Lin Fenglei said calmly, "Robert, you praised it!"
Barisic had been observing Lin Fenglei and found that he had been silent, so he took another look at the 26-year-old young man. He smiled and said, "Well, I wish us a happy cooperation in the future. But I have a new idea. If Lin comes to coach the Dynamo team, I will give you the greatest power except me and Damir, so that you can form a team according to your own ideas. Maybe we can build a dynasty team.
Lin Fenglei laughed and said, "Robert, thank you for your kindness, but I'm doing well in Gosho now. If I can't get along in Gosho one day, I will definitely come to you. I hope you can take me in at that time.
Barisic said, "If there is such a day, I will definitely sweep the couch to greet you." After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
