Chapter 84 Klopp and Dortmund?
"Dortmund?"
Hao Ren looked up abruptly, his expression a mixture of joy and surprise.
"Qi-ge, you mean Dortmund wants me, right? Who's their coach now, Klopp?"
Lü Qi nodded. "Yes, it's Klopp. He has officially made a recommendation to the management, hoping to buy you. I don't know the specific details yet, but Dortmund can definitely offer you a higher weekly wage than Leipzig."
"Hmm!"
Hao Ren squinted, and the corners of his mouth slowly began to turn up: "Actually, I don't know much about Klopp, but now it seems he has a good eye. I admire this coach."
Hao Ren told Lü Qi that he had made a decision.
That means that after Mr. Goodman gets home today, he will be following Cross's Twitter account!
"Stop, stop! I haven't finished yet. Besides Dortmund, there are two other Bundesliga clubs, Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim. These two teams are also good, but they're definitely not as good as Dortmund."
Hao Ren listened attentively to Lü Qi's story, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Yeah, I'm still pretty popular."
"Ha ha!"
Lü Qi toasted Hao Ren with a Coke instead of alcohol: "So what's your choice? My suggestion is, since you're considering Dortmund, you can ignore the other two clubs. However, I won't directly reject Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim, because Dortmund's management might not listen to Klopp's advice."
"Why is that? Klopp has been Dortmund's coach for several years now, hasn't he?"
"That's true, but as you've seen, Dortmund's performance in both the league and the Champions League this season hasn't been very good."
Lü Qi sighed: "If we're eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinals early next month, Klopp might have to resign. If he does, then his advice will definitely be useless."
"9
"Since such a thing still exists."
Having focused solely on the 2. Bundesliga, Hao Ren hadn't noticed how difficult Dortmund's season had been.
"I hope Dortmund can win next month, because I kind of want to go there."
"That's hard to say."
Lü Qi slowly shook his head: "Anyway, I won't refuse the other two clubs for the time being, because there's still some time before the end of the season, so there's no need to rush."
Hao Ren nodded and started drinking his iced cola from his glass.
As the Leipzig midfielder looked up, he noticed his agent's strange expression and guessed that the latter must have left something unsaid. "Brother Qi, are there any other clubs interested in me?"
"Hiss—well, how should I put it, you could say that."
Lü Qi seemed somewhat hesitant.
"No, what's so hard to say, Brother Qi!"
"Hengda wants to buy you back, and they sent me here to persuade you."
Lu Qi's chest heaved dramatically for a moment, probably because he had just sighed.
"Why is that? Does Evergrande really want me that badly?"
Hao Ren remained unmoved.
Judging from his body language, this guy isn't really keen on returning to Evergrande's first team.
"I've been thinking about it for a bit. Didn't Evergrande sell you to Leipzig for a few hundred thousand euros before? That price was quite a bargain for Evergrande at the time, but now—you know, the situation is different."
Lü Qi joked with Hao Ren, "Goodman has become Mr. Goodman. That transfer fee of several hundred thousand euros is now a huge loss."
"...
Hao Ren immediately fell silent.
As the agent said, Evergrande finally cultivated a player with the ability to compete in the top five leagues, but sold him off at a low price. Looking back now, this move is really a loss!
Hao Ren's current Transfermarkt value is 6 million euros, but due to his nationality, his value in the eyes of Chinese Super League clubs has actually exceeded 10 million euros.
"Of course, Evergrande isn't forcing you to play in the Chinese Super League. Their idea is to buy you back first and then loan you to the Bundesliga. But I don't think that's necessary."
"Brother Qi, didn't Hengda send you to persuade me? But you haven't even started trying to persuade me yet—"
Hao Ren reminded him.
"Haha! If I can persuade you to return to the Chinese Super League, they'll give me a 300 million yuan bonus, of course."
"Wow, that's a lot."
Hao Ren clicked his tongue: "Then why aren't you trying to persuade me? If you don't, I'm going to reject Evergrande."
"I'm your agent. If you go to Dortmund for a transfer fee of tens of millions of euros, wouldn't that be an explosive future? I'm not stupid! If you go directly to the Bundesliga, I'll definitely earn more; it's just a matter of time."
Lü Qi said irritably.
It's actually a very simple principle, but Hao Ren clearly didn't think about it that way.
Hao Ren nodded seriously: "That's true, Brother Qi. Reject Evergrande, and I'll take you to new heights."

Lü Qi noted down Hao Ren's decision.
"Remember, Dortmund is currently facing uncertainty, so don't rush into making any decisions!"
A user on Tieba (a Chinese online forum) reposted Hao Ren's tweet following Klopp and commented: "A good coach."
[What's going on here? Why is Mr. Goodman suddenly commenting on Klopp? Do these two know each other?]
[Haha, Hao Ren, you're going to make me laugh to death! When did you start being a commentator?]
[There seems to be something fishy going on here. I remember Hao Ren rarely praises people.]
Does this mean I, Mr. Goodman, am going to Dortmund?
Hao Ren's tweets sparked a lot of discussion among fans, with some even tagging him directly on Baidu Tieba, hoping for a reply from him.
Unfortunately, Hao Ren remained silent on the matter, leaving fans puzzled.
Mr. Goodman is so mysterious that no one can figure out what he's thinking!
On April 5th at noon Berlin time, Leipzig hosted Nuremberg in their 27th round of the Bundesliga 4 season.
Due to their exceptionally impressive performance this season, Leipzig has gained countless fans, and it is no surprise that the Red Bull Arena will be packed to capacity today.
Leipzig Radio
"RB Leipzig currently holds a dominant position in the league standings, even with a significant gap compared to second-placed Ingolstadt. However, this doesn't mean the Leipzig players will relax today."
Radio reporters squeezed through the crowd, providing updates on today's league match.
"I've heard that Rangnick wants to secure the league title before the end of April. If that's true, then Nuremberg could very well become the first victim of Leipzig's April plans!"
Just as the reporter was recounting the background of the match, a bald man wearing a North Face down jacket walked into the frame, waving his fists and shouting, "Long live Mr. Goodman! Wowhoo!"
"Haha! Looks like you're a Goodman fan. Did you become a Leipzig fan because of Goodman?"
"Yes!"
The bald fan immediately admitted it.
He doesn't think it's shameful to support a team because of a player, after all, it's all too common for Leipzig this season.
The reporter nodded: "So do you think Leipzig can win the 2. Bundesliga title this month? Winning the title as a newly promoted team would break the history of the entire 2. Bundesliga."
"That's hard to say."
The bald fan frowned in thought.
Just when the reporter thought he was a serious guy, the bald fan spoke up: "Whether we can win the championship a month early, to be honest, depends on what Mr. Goodman wants. If Mr. Goodman wants to win the championship early, then there's no problem."
The interviewee shrugged: "You know, Goodman could always tear anything apart; he was even more formidable than Adolf in the early stages of World War II."
"Wow, stop, stop, stop!"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Sir, I know you really like Goodman, but please don't make comparisons; it's inappropriate!"
"Polak, you're trying to pass to your forward-moving teammate, but Hao Ren has already gotten there!"
To avoid a one-on-one situation with Hao Ren, Polak opted to force a pass early, ultimately delivering the ball to Kimmich.
Wow!!!
Sensitive Leipzig fans had already stood up and cheered.
Leipzig's greatest strength is their counter-attack!
With Hao Ren providing cover, Kimmich dribbled the ball deep into the box.
Faced with pressure ahead, Kimmich calmly passed the ball to Hao Ren, who then began looking for an opportunity to switch play.
Hey!
'
Morris raised his hand and cut into the penalty area from the left.
Hao Ren noticed this and decisively made a through pass.
boom!
[Kroos's ingenious through ball technique]!
The ball rolled past Petrarch, kicking up a cloud of grass, before being caught by Morris who had cut in.
Morris got that ball in a very comfortable position!
Smash the door!
1: 0!
Wow!!!
"RB!"
Boom!
"RB!"
Bang bang bang!
Leipzig's attack was well-coordinated and fluid, with virtually no flaws.
Nuremberg's defense looked solid, but it was really just a matter of Hao Ren making a through pass.
The camera shows Hao Ren celebrating with his teammates.
"This is Goodman's 24th league assist this season." (German)
"To this day, we still don't know what kind of monster Ronnick has raised."
'
'
Anthony-Jon started his run down the wing!
Anthony Jung's quick sprint ignited Leipzig's attack, and Nuremberg's players, realizing the situation was not right, were quickly retreating.
"Hey, come on!"
Rangnick clapped his hands, and Anthony Jung seemed to understand what the coach wanted him to do.
The Leipzig full-back slowed down and then launched a long pass directly to Poulsen on the right flank.
"Oh!"
Leipzig is still Leipzig; they're not going to waste time with their opponents!
Poulsen dribbled the ball to the byline and was quickly double-teamed by defenders.
Hao Ren and Kimmich exchanged a glance. Hao Ren took over Kimmich's position, while Kimmich ran to support Poulsen.
Kimmich and Poulsen switched positions near the baseline, and Poulsen, who was making a run back with the ball, eventually pushed it to Hao Ren's feet.
"Find him!"
The away team's players seemed to get impatient. Polak and Korke went straight for Hao Ren, with Polak even physically assaulting him.
"Get away!"
Hao Ren pushed past the defender and dribbled forward with long strides.
Inside the penalty area, Rebic is calling for the ball!
"Get out of the way!"
I
Rebic instinctively pulled his hands back, and the next second a shot came from the top of the arc.
boom!
'
Wow!!!
Hao Ren unleashed a sudden long-range shot from outside the penalty area!
The shot wasn't hit at a good angle, but it was sneaky and fast enough.
Goalkeeper Schäfer couldn't reach the ball!
"Whoosh!"
The goal stands.
The score is now 2-0!
Hao Ren slid out on his knees and stood in front of the away team's stands: "Shout! Shout!"
As expected, the Leipzig midfielder got into another verbal altercation with the away fans.
"Calm down, calm down!"
Kimmich grabbed Hao Ren's shoulder: "Stop yelling! You'll get sent off, Goode!"
65th minute of the second half!
The score remains 2-0, with Nuremberg struggling to find their chance.
But at this point in time, the situation on the field could very well change suddenly.
"Leipzig will play Wolfsburg at home in four days. If I were Rangnick, I would choose to substitute key players like Gudmann and Poulsen to give them a rest."
"Yes, we'll have to see what Rangnick thinks."
In the picture, the Leipzig coach has just adjusted his glasses.
Judging from his furrowed brows, this guy must be thinking about what he's narrating.
The schedule in April is very packed, and Rangnick needs to seriously consider the issue of player stamina.
Ultimately, Rangnick opted to substitute only Poulsen and Kimmich, leaving Hao Ren on the field.
After making the substitution, Rangnick took out his notebook and wrote a new line in it.

"Leipzig's attacking pace has slowed down; they're probably trying to stall for time!"
""
"Celustka, take the corner kick!"
"They're going for a header!"
"Hey, it seems Nuremberg's striker can't keep up with Hao Ren!"
boom!
Hao Ren cleared the ball with a header, and Polak, at the second point, unleashed a powerful long-range shot, but the shot struck Hao Ren.
"Holy shit!"
Hao Ren was startled.
I thought Mr. Goodman was going to die, but it turns out he wasn't in any pain at all.
"You go to the front, I'll take a look, I'll take a look!"
Klostermann stepped up behind him to receive the ball, while Hao Ren and his teammates in the attacking third began their forward press.
'
Leipzig's attack in the second half was not very smooth, and they seemed to be underestimating Nuremberg.
Despite this, Nuremberg's defenders still struggled.
"Look at me!"
Noticing the opposing defender was out of position, Hao Ren suddenly moved forward to receive the cross, and then played a one-two with Morris in the penalty area.
Have the opportunity!
Hao Ren's heart raced; he knew he was about to score!
boom!
"GO00AAAA—LLLL!!!!"
3:0!
'
Good man!
'
After scoring his second goal, Hao Ren jogged on the grass, repeatedly slapping his ears with his hands, a gesture that seemed to be a provocation to his opponent.
The Nuremberg players were furious, but trailing by three goals, they had lost the courage to face Hao Ren head-on.
"roar!!!"
"Whoosh, whoosh whoosh—!!!"
[Match Results in Progress — Victory Points +14]
[Achievement: 100 LP in Silver Rank (LP required for promotion: 200)]
With two goals and one assist from Hao Ren, Leipzig won their first game in April with almost no pressure.
Chinese fans gathered in the comment section of Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform) to chat and wait for official match reports.
Ding!
Breaking news!

What popped up wasn't a battle report, but a news article copied from an external website.
This is a screenshot of a tweet from a German agent named 0lafMecks.
Although the content is short, half of the words are highlighted in red.
[0lafMecks: According to reliable sources, at least three Bundesliga clubs have contacted RB Leipzig in hopes of securing offers for their number 20 midfielder, Hao Ren, including Borussia Dortmund.]
