Vienna Ernst Happel Stadium

The final battle of the 2008 European Cup - the German "Chariot" against the Spanish "Matador".Who is the honor of Europe?We will see the outcome in nine 10 minutes.

德国和西班牙在历史上交战过19场(包括前西德)，德国队8胜6平5负占据优势，进27球失21球。其中在大赛中德国队4胜2平1负占据绝对优势，进10球失5球；在以往欧洲杯中两队交战4场，德国队2胜1平1负稍占上风，进5球失2球。
The German team is the team that has won the most championships in the history of the European Cup.Since 1972, the Germans have created another magical trajectory in the European Cup. For 36 years, this fate has continuously predicted and confirmed the premise of the Germans winning the European Cup—one of the fates. After the dark horse wins, Germany will win the championship ( In the last European Cup, the Greeks created "Greek mythology"); the second fate, Germany's first victory in the final stage of the European Cup will win the championship (the Germans won the European Cup in the first few European Cups, they finally won the championship).

In almost every competition, the Spanish team is regarded as the favorite to win the championship, but they always return home early.Now, exactly 24 years later, the Spanish team has reached the European Cup final again.Facing Germany, Spain's strength, physical fitness, psychological quality, discipline, and willpower are far inferior to Germany.But there is one thing, the Germans are far inferior to Spain, and that is technology. Before the game, everyone believed that if Spain wants to win against Germany, they must use their technology to the extreme.

The game had just started, and Li Huan, Hope, and Lannick were sitting in the VIP box watching the game.Hope and Li Huan were very leisurely, chatting while watching the game, while Lannick kept recording something in his notebook.As the competition became more and more intense, Hope's attention was focused on the competition, while Li Huan's eyes were fixed on the field, but his thoughts flew to three days ago.

Li Huan had just returned to his home from the company that day, and then received a call from Lannick saying that Hope and him came to the island city. He quickly took Lannick and Hope to his home.

After taking a seat and exchanging pleasantries, Li Huan asked, "Coach Lannick, Mr. Hope, why did you come to Daocheng?"

Lannick smiled slightly, and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, Mr. Hope said he wanted to come and see you, and take a look at the ancient Chinese civilization by the way."

Li Huan definitely doesn't believe Lannick's words, and thinks that these two are mostly because of the contract. During this period, according to Watts, the club suddenly stopped negotiating with him, and recently the media reported that Hoffenheim officially offered to Stuttgart offered to buy right-back Baker. In addition, Italian midfielder Aquilani and Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy are also involved in Hoffenheim. Watts suspects that Hoffenheim intends to sell him and buy Baker for the sake of take his place.

Although Li Huan didn't think that Hoffenheim would take the initiative to sell him, Hoffenheim bought Baker but didn't say hello to him, which made Li Huan secretly ponder. The main force of the position will explain in advance.And no one in the club greeted him, which is obviously unreasonable. There is a saying in China that if something goes wrong, you will be a demon.Li Huan felt that this matter was a bit strange. If it was two years ago, Li Huan might have been worried, but now he is the emperor's daughter and does not worry about marrying.Because Watts revealed to him that no matter whether he wants to go to La Liga, Premier League or Serie A, he can definitely enter the giants and play the main force with a high salary.

Li Huan also responded with a smile and said, "I must be very competent as a tour guide."

Hope chuckled, and said, "I'm not as idle as Ralph said. It's true that I came to see you, but I have something important to discuss with you."

Li Huan pretended to be stunned and said: "I was thinking just now, how could Mr. Hope and Coach Lannick be so leisurely, Mr. Hope, please tell me if you have anything to do."

Hope said: "Actually, it's still about the signing. They have been talking with Mr. Watts some time ago, but they haven't reached a conclusion. But I think we must understand your intentions. If you really want to leave, I will I won’t force you to stay. If you are willing to stay in Hoffenheim, I will try my best to meet your request. That’s why I came to Island City. This time, Ralph and I came in secret, and no one or anyone knows.”

Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "Didn't Mr. Watts express my meaning clearly? My first choice is to stay in Hoffenheim, but I hope Hoffenheim can have higher goals this year and be able to play in Hoffenheim." The Champions League has made a difference. In addition, I don’t want to revise the contract continuously in a season, so the annual salary is raised a little bit higher at a time, but I think the annual salary must be more than 1000 million euros. This figure is lower than what other clubs offered me, but Hoffenheim is kind to me. I don’t intend to ask for a lot of money. Now is a commodity society. My relationship with the club is sentimental. It is impossible for me to dedicate myself to Hoffenheim because of this. Please forgive me for my blunt words. "

Lannick and Hope looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Li Huan really had no intention of transferring.

Lannick said: "Mr. Hope and I also want to show you our thoughts when we come this time. You are the hero who won the Triple Crown with Hoffenheim from the Bundesliga [-]. Mr. Hope means that as long as you Yes, you can stay in Hoffenheim forever, and with your performance, even if you don't say it, we will increase your annual salary.

Our transfer strategy is to find potential players, but because we were too successful last season, we must improve our goals this season. Your goal of qualifying for the Champions League is exactly the same as ours.You may have seen the newspapers in the past two days. We are now preparing to acquire Baker, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Aquilani. We haven’t told you about the Baker Club yet, mainly because Hope wants to explain it to you in person. . "

Hope said: "Lee, we should have come to talk to you some time ago, but I think empty words are useless, so I waited for Manager Schindelmaiser to take action before coming to see you. You should understand the club's thinking now , like you, we hope that Hoffenheim will become a giant, and we also hope to dominate Europe. It’s just that we want to build a solid foundation step by step, but now we have suddenly become the three champions of the German Cup, the League and the UEFA Cup. In addition to the Champions League, we have already There is no other goal."

Li Huan said: "Since the club agreed to my two conditions, there is no problem in signing the contract. I will call Watts later and ask him to sign the contract."

Rangnick was overjoyed and said: "This is the best. Now other players in the club are waiting to see your contract. After your contract is signed, we can also negotiate the renewal of other players' contracts. The team's signings and Training is a good arrangement."

Li Huan suddenly thought of a question, and said: "Mr. Hope, Coach Lannick, there is one more thing I want to say in advance. As long as I win the Champions League in Hoffenheim, I will choose to leave. I hope you can understand."

Lannick and Hope were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Li Huan to say such a thing, but they immediately agreed with smiles on their faces. They thought that even teams like Arsenal and Chelsea had never won the Champions League. Milan has not even had a color photo for more than 40 years. To win the Champions League requires not only strength, but also luck. The importance of luck can be seen from the recent Manchester United and Chelsea battle. If there is no Terry slipping, there will be no championship. What happened to Manchester United, and Hoffenheim is not an invincible player in the world. Who knows how many years it will take to win the Champions League, so they agreed.

Li Huan was lost in memory, when he suddenly heard the pitch boiling. When he looked up, the electronic scoreboard showed that Spain had scored a goal. Li Huan didn't need to look to know that Torres ran over Lahm and scored the only goal. ball.

Seeing Hope and Lannick's desperate looks, Li Huan couldn't help comforting him against his will: "Don't worry, Spain only scored one goal." In fact, Li Huan was thinking in his heart, don't worry, worrying is useless, Germany is doomed up.

Rangnick shook his head and said: "It's not because of scoring a goal. Spain's skills are too good. Everyone in the team has the ability to pass the deadly ball, including Cassie. We have no chance of winning against Spain. If we can put If the score was zero to zero until extra time, our chances of winning were better, and it would have been better to hit a penalty kick, we have not lost a penalty kick, and now it is dangerous."

Hope glanced at Li Huan and sighed: "If the German team has Li Huan, shrink back and fight back, the chances of winning must be much greater than now."

Li Huan said: "When encountering teams like Spain and Barcelona, ​​the German team can only shrink their defense. Otherwise, once they are beaten by Spain, they will be useless. The German team's defenders turn around too slowly." Li Huan suddenly thought of the 2010 World Cup. Spain once again eliminated Germany, which switched to shrinking defense, and said: "Actually, shrinking is not enough, you must be able to score goals, which is really a bit difficult."

Lannick said: "Manchester United's second game against Barcelona in the semi-finals is the best reference for the German team. They shrink the backcourt defense, and then invest a small amount of troops to fight back. If you are lucky, there is a world wave and you will win. Otherwise, you will wait to play. Penalties. But it’s better not to meet teams like Spain and Barcelona, ​​otherwise it will be very painful if you can’t get the ball all over the field.”

Hope suddenly said: "What will happen if we meet Barcelona in the Champions League?"

Rangnick and Li Huan both turned their eyes away from the field and glanced at each other. They also thought of this question at the same time. What would happen if Hoffenheim met Barcelona?

Rangnick said: "If we play against Barcelona, ​​there is a 90.00% chance of losing. If we play counterattack, the winning rate will not exceed 50.00%."

Li Huan said: "Although the winning rate in counter-defense will not exceed 50.00%, the probability of a draw must definitely exceed 60.00%."

When the three of them were talking, Li Huan's cell phone rang. Li Huan took it out and saw that it was Watts calling. Li Huan connected the phone, and Watts' voice came from the other side, "Li, I heard that you are coming to Europe. Now, when did you come, why didn't you call me, I'll pick you up."

Li Huan smiled and said, "I just arrived this morning to watch the game, so I didn't call you."

Watts said: "You asked me to sign the contract. Did Lannick and Schindelmaiser call you? What did they say?"

Li Huan looked at Lannick and Hope, who were smiling but not smiling, and said, "Mr. Watts, I'm watching the game, let's talk about it when we come back."

After Li Huan watched the European Cup final, he flew back to Germany. After Watts met Li Huan, he immediately told Li Huan about the negotiation with Schindelmaizer. The price was reduced by 100 million, and the asking price was 300 million euros. Hoffenheim agreed to this offer, but they hoped that we would set the annual salary at 100 million euros when we signed the contract, and the rest of the clubs would pay the signing fee. Form compensation to you. What do you think?"

Li Huan smiled and said: "This is okay, how much is the signing fee?"

"About 1000 million euros." Watts actually felt uncomfortable, because the annual salary was given to Li Huan in the form of a signing fee, and his commission would naturally be reduced.

"Before and after tax?"

"Definitely pre-tax."

Watts: "If you have no objection, we will sign the contract. I think Hoffenheim is also very sincere in signings. It seems that they are preparing for the Champions League."

Li Huan said: "Sign it, I plan to stay in Hoffenheim for another year, and see if I can win the Champions League."

Watts said: "It doesn't matter if you stay, the team, players, and tactics are all familiar. As long as you have ambition, you must achieve results."

The two parties have made a plan, and the signing has become a matter of course. On the third day after the European Cup final, the contract time of Li Huan, who has been fired since the end of the season, finally came to an end. Li Huan signed a contract extension with Hoffenheim contract, the Hoffenheim club held a press conference to announce this unexpected news to fans all over the world.

After news of Li Huan's contract renewal with Hoffenheim came out, many media used the term "unexpectedly". He is the core of Hoffenheim and the most important contributor to winning the Triple Crown. In any sense, it is impossible for Li Huan to leave Hoffenheim unless Li Huan is willing to leave.

Li Huan's contract extension this time is very generous with Uno. He continues to hold half of his portrait rights, and his annual salary has risen from 229 million euros to 100 million euros. One hundred million euros.Driven by Li Huan, the contract renewals of Hoffenheim's main players quickly accelerated, first Sarihovic, then Ibisevic and Eduardo, and the salaries of the three of them were between 400 million and 500 million euros , is the second grade annual salary of Hoffenheim.But because Demba Ba is determined to go, the team is negotiating hard with his agent.

Then Ibecberg, Compaq, Hildebrand, Gustavo, Simunić and other players also completed their contract extensions. Their annual salary is the third grade, between about 3 million and 400 million. between.

Hoffenheim did not forget to buy players while renewing the contract with the original main players. The first to become a member of the Triple Crown team was Stuttgart's right back Baker. This young man from the Stuttgart youth team is a weak version Li Huan has strong assist and defensive abilities.

Although Li Huan seldom suffers from injuries, substitute players hardly get many chances, but because of the previous two seasons, the opponent's research on Li Huan has become more and more thorough. Will Li Huan be able to play at the level of last season in the next season? It can also be said, so Rangnick came up with a good idea, bought Baker, and then often pushed Li Huan into the midfield, and even the striker, so that Hoffenheim's play style changed a little bit.Baker's worth of 500 million euros is not high, but he has great potential for cultivation.

Baker obviously knew how much pressure it was to be a substitute for Li Huan, but he was still willing to come to Hoffenheim. The media was very curious, but when Baker was interviewed, he only said that he liked Hoffenheim, so he decided Leaving Stuttgart makes one wonder what hints Rangnick or the club have given him.

Compared with Baker's transfer, Ruud van Nistelrooy's transfer is much more complicated. Ruud van Nistelrooy is 32 years old this year and has already passed his peak period, but his experience and ability to grab points made Lannick very heartbroken , In the young Hoffenheim team, he can completely become a means of breaking the balance, and with the support of Li Huan's overbearing wide cross, Ruud's goal will only be stronger than before.

The key now is that Van Nistelrooy does not want to come to a small country team from the European dream theater, and Real Madrid is not short of money.However, because of his knee surgery, Real Madrid did not guarantee his main position. Stimulated by Hoffenheim's gold dollar and main position, Van Nistelrooy was finally tempted, and his agent began to contact Hoffenheim. .

But what is more difficult is Rome's handsome little prince Aquilani, this is a player valued by the owner Hope. Hoffenheim has been chasing the future star of Rome. When playing the team, his team must adopt the tactics of double queens.But Aquilani still believes that he still has the opportunity to become the main force of Roma, and does not expect the Bundesliga to compete with Gustavo for a starting position.

Hoffenheim saw that the possibility of introducing Aquilani was too small, and Bian began to look at Zenit midfielder Timoschuk, who lost to them in the UEFA Cup final. Rangnick commented that he is a natural talent. A leader who has the ability to shoot and pass long distances and defends very well.Coincidentally, Bayern also took a fancy to this midfielder wizard, and the rivals in the two leagues began to compete on another battlefield.
