Germany, Munich.
Sports director office at Bayern club.
In front of the sports director Reiske, Bayern's head coach Guardiola dialed Tang Long's phone number.
Reiske stood nervously to the side, arms crossed over his chest, listening closely.
As a language genius, Guardiola could speak six different languages.
Spanish, Catalan, Italian, English, French, and German.
He had learned in advance that Tang Long's Italian was not very good, so he spoke with Tang Long in English on the phone.
Reiske was a bit worried, after all, Tang Long was Chinese, and English wasn't his native language. Could he understand Guardiola's English with a Spanish seafood accent?
"On behalf of Bayern Club, I sincerely invite you to play here with us, yes..."
"But we've been tracking you for half a season now, the club really appreciates your ability to read the game exhibited in midfield..."
