Recently, Cross's good friend Lehnertz revealed the inside story to the media. He said that it was rummenigge, CEO of Bayern Munich, who thought Cross was not a world-class player and did not deserve the annual salary of10 million. Then, despite the strong opposition of Bayern coach Guardiola at that time, he decided not to renew his contract with Cross. This also led to Cross, who had one year left in the summer of 20 14, moving to Real Madrid at a low price of 30 million euros. Now, Cross, even 200 million won't let Real Madrid go. Rummenigge's stubbornness and shortsightedness directly led to Bayern losing a master midfielder. No wonder Cross can still say that Real Madrid is one step ahead of Bayern after going to Real Madrid.
I think when Cross was moved, there was an uproar. Many famous players and players of Bayern came forward to persuade Cross to accept Bayern's terms. Cross obviously knows his own strength and value better than others. After coming to Real Madrid, Cross immediately became the absolute main force, and his combined control with modric was extremely strong, and their characteristics brought out the best in each other. After a regrettable season, Cross gained a lot at Real Madrid. He won the Champions League with Real Madrid for two consecutive years, and became recognized as the first midfield combination with modric and casemiro. And Real Madrid also offered Cross a big contract with an annual salary of10 million.
Therefore, Real Madrid fans should thank rummenigge. His wrong decision led Bayern to hand over Cross and indirectly helped Real Madrid defend the Champions League. The decision of the top management of a team is really crucial to the development of a team. I don't know if rummenigge will regret seeing Cross, whose scenery is infinite now.
