Chapter 108 Van der Vaart's Revenge

On August 8, the new season of the Bundesliga officially kicked off.

However, this day is not a match day for Union Berlin. The opponents are Borussia Dortmund and Hertha Berlin. Both teams are enemies of Union Berlin. However, Edward does not pay much attention because he is in contact with the construction team in China. Manchester City's problem.

This time, it was a big project. Although not the entire football city was started at the same time, it was also started in many places at the same time.Efficiency is one aspect, and quality is also what Edward values.

In this regard, the Chinese construction team should not have any problems internationally. There are quality assurance clauses in the contract, and they dare not affect the country's international image outside.

Because it won such a big project, it has been well publicized in China, and even 1 station has been specially given news for more than 1 minute.

It’s not that this matter is too small, but it’s too big. A project worth billions of euros, an exchange rate of nearly 1:9, and a large project worth tens of billions. Without a thorough understanding of the details, there is no way to report it in detail. Any mistake, It will have very serious consequences.

On the contrary, it was a transfer that made TV 1 and TV 5 talk about it. Manchester City full-back Sun Jihai joined Union Berlin for 600 million pounds!
Edward did what he said, and he really brought the players who performed well in the World Cup to Berlin. This season, Sun Jihai will play in the Bundesliga and UEFA Cup with Union Berlin.

At this time, Union Berlin's roster is basically finalized.

First team:

Goalkeepers: Edwin van der Sar, Stegelenberg.

Defenders: Sun Jihai, Sergio Ramos, Daniel Alves, Nemanja Vidic, Pepe, Marco Materazzi, Alessandro Nesta, Felipe · Neville, Evra.

Midfielders: Cambiasso, Nigel de Jong, Xavi Alonso, Juan Belleron, Wesley Sneijder, Alger Robben, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Forwards: Kevin Dirk, Dave Suker, Robin van Persie, David Villa, Philippe Judith.

There are exactly 23 players in the first team. Although there are a lot of defenders, considering that the team has many versatile players, it is not a problem at all. Sun Jihai and Alves can both play in front.

In addition to the first team, there are many talented players in the youth academy.

This summer, Edward and Union Berlin's scouting team has extended their grasp to the whole of Europe. The team's scouts are mainly responsible for local German players, while Edward left lists all over the world for club staff to find someone.

Now the talent of Union Berlin's youth academy has exploded.

Local elites such as Neuer, Cross Brothers, Reus, Gretzka, Julian Brandt, De Bruyne, Hazard Brothers, Toby Alderweireld, Vertonghen, etc. Belgian goblins, South American prodigies like Oscar and Dybala, together with some local talented kids form the current echelon of Union Berlin. In the future, Edward plans to continue to extend his tentacles to the whole of Europe.

Even if these players are not retained in the future, they can be sold for a good price. Although it does not seem that many, it is not easy to attract so many people now. Young players who want to play abroad must bring their parents. , not everyone is willing to leave their homeland, he had people contact Insigne’s family before, even though the Insigne family was very poor, they were still unwilling to let Lorenzo Insigne go abroad, Italians value their family very much, they don’t Willing to leave, so Edward did not waste too much time on Italian players.

After one or two seasons, when Union Berlin becomes more famous, it will be much easier to invite those young players to develop in Berlin.

Avril Lavigne has been very popular recently. Her album has already sold out in the English-speaking region. Although the little girl didn't want to leave Edward, she was persuaded to go away by Edward. It's not that she can't afford to support a person. There are already two Hollywood stars in her family. There are not many of them, but Avril Lavigne’s career has just begun, so let’s wait until she doesn’t want to sing anymore, like Winona, she just wants to live a good life, otherwise Avril Lavigne will come out of the world again after staying in Berlin for a year or two , it will be much more difficult.

August 8th is the day of Union Berlin's first Bundesliga game of the new season. Their opponent in this game is Hamburg.

Van der Vaart said in an interview with the media: "I am very glad to have left Union Berlin. It was terrible there. I didn't get the respect I deserved at all. Mourinho is a tyrant. His words cannot be refuted by anyone. Eduard is his coronation, they are unscrupulous in Union Berlin, I don't think they understand football at all. There are many old friends of mine in this game, but after this game, they will definitely be disappointed, Because they will lose in their Bundesliga debut."

Although Hamburg coach Kurt Yala tried his best to save him, it was of no avail. After Van der Vaart's interview was exposed, Union Berlin was ready to teach him a lesson.

In the past at Union Berlin, no one liked him except for Ajax. Van der Vaart was more arrogant and always thought he was the best in the world. He looked down on the small team of Dirk, van Persie, and Ronaldo with an English accent. , Yeka can't afford Robben, anyway, he doesn't like anyone, it's strange that someone likes this kind of person.

Mourinho angrily scolded Van der Vaart at the pre-match press conference: "His (Van der Vaart) has a problem with his professionalism. The team has many talented players, but only he will not play according to my tactics. Look now The achievements of Chris and Alger, they are regarded as the strongest devil wings in Europe in the future, and Wesley (Sneijder), who could only serve as a substitute for van der Vaart in the past, is also called the new Cruyff, Players who listen to me now have a bright future, and that person, who has not played for more than half a season, was the captain of the Ajax youth team before, that's all, and went to Berlin with him All players have become DFB-Pokal champions, but he didn’t get a medal because he didn’t play.”

This is a bit heartbreaking. Even Philip Judith, who is related to him, has played twice in garbage time and won a medal. Van der Vaart's talent is so much higher than Judith, but he is in He can only watch his former teammate become the double champion, and he has nothing to gain.

This game that didn't have much meaning originally became a game that must be won because of a speech by Van der Vaart.

And the Union Berlin players didn't show any mercy. Although the game was played at Hamburg's home stadium, Nordbank Arena, from the first minute of the opening, Union Berlin launched the most violent attack on Hamburg's goal.

The game only started 7 minutes, and the Hamburg players who wanted to compete with Union Berlin by virtue of their home advantage found that the opponent's strength was not something they could resist at all, and they conceded the ball.

Because of van der Vaart's pre-match interview, the Union Berlin players screamed to give the traitor some color. They didn't even care that this was Hamburg's home court, and the overwhelming boos didn't affect their performance, as if they were still in Fusele Same pitch, no difference.

Every player turned into a bloodthirsty hungry wolf. At the beginning, the North King felt that there was no difference between them and Union Berlin. However, after a few offensives by Union Berlin, they were slowly suppressed and returned to their own half. There was no way Press it up.

Van Persie wanted to teach Van der Vaart a lesson the most. From the moment he got on the plane, he and Van der Vaart were at odds. This kid really worked hard today. Usually Van Persie still has outstanding skills and is not so active in pressing. Changed into another look, vowing to chop the burger under the knife.

After his disdainful efforts, he finally broke through the opponent's goal in the 7th minute. Van Persie received the pass from Ronaldinho with his back. With a touch of his foot, he immediately went around and completed the ball with his back. After taking the ball again, he immediately The left foot exploded, and although the Hamburg goalkeeper made a save immediately, he was powerless to recover.

After the goal, Van Persie made Cantona's classic celebration, he shrugged at Van Persie to express his helplessness.

I don't want to score this goal, but you guys are so good, I can't help it.

Van der Vaart's face was livid. He didn't expect to be slapped in the face just a few days after he finished bragging. The game only started 7 minutes ago, and Berlin Union scored a goal with several shots. If the game is over, maybe Berlin Union can play. How many goals did you score?

However, Van der Vaart was lucky at this time, Hamburg's strength is still very good, maybe after the teammates adapt to Union Berlin's way of playing, they will find a chance to counterattack.

Edward opened his mouth to eat the grapes handed over by Jennifer Aniston, and looked at Van Persie with satisfaction. At this time, if he didn't fight back against Van der Vaart, it would be a waste of his hard work.

They are all young people, playing the most passionate sport, they should have some personality. Although he knew that Van Persie couldn't see it, Edward still stood in front of the glass and kept applauding.

The reason why he fell in love with football was because of a game.

That game was the one where Cantona kicked the fans. Edward felt that the greatest surname in life is to be able to reciprocate love and hatred.But he is not a Manchester United fan. Although he likes Manchester United very much, he also likes many teams. In his previous life, he once watched Rui Costa and Materazzi watching fireworks together, and he also witnessed the magic of Istanbul. Those games were really interesting. Charm, but this time, he doesn't need to look at other teams, his team, to do wonders.

The Union Berlin players didn't intend to keep their hands at all. Within a few minutes, Ronaldinho cut inside and shot to rewrite the score to 2:0.

After that, the Union Berlin players took turns to play. Robben and Sneijder fired one after another. At halftime, the score had become 4:0.

During the half-time break, the Hamburg players looked bewildered.

They are the kings of the North, and the opponent is a newly promoted horse. But with the current score, it is obvious that they were brutally abused by their opponents. What happened?
No one is willing to admit that they are not strong enough. At this time, they need a scapegoat.

The Hamburg players set their sights on van der Vaart.

That's the big mouth!
He angered the Union Berlin players with words, and now the opponent is playing at a super level, directly sifting them into a sieve.

When they walked to the player tunnel, they all deliberately stayed away from Van der Vaart, the catastrophe. The fans in the stands were also in mixed feelings. During the summer warm-up, Van der Vaart played well. Looking at it now, he does not seem to be popular with the team.

No matter what, the team spent "1000 million euros", and it is impossible for them to defect at this time, otherwise the money would be in vain.

The Hamburg ship king who invited Edward to watch the game in his box had already left the field early. He didn’t want to witness his beloved team being massacred by Union Berlin. Edward felt that he might have gone too far. A big score at halftime.

But he has no way to control this kind of thing. Who made van der Vaart have bad personnel when he was at Union Berlin? If it was replaced by the transfer of Kevin Dirk and the media spoke ill of Mourinho and Edward, The Union Berlin players may be angry, but they will never kill them.

Yesterday's cause and today's result can only be said that Van der Vaart is to blame.

There is nothing pitiful about Hamburg, Van der Vaart is their player, and Hamburg enjoys the fruits of victory when scoring goals, and they have to suffer if Van der Vaart provokes a strong enemy.

The second half of the game was even worse, and it turned into an offensive and defensive drill. Mourinho replaced Ramos during the intermission, not as a defender, but as a forward!
The commentators on the scene dropped their jaws completely, they did not expect Mourinho to do this.

"He's trying to offend Hamburg completely! Don't show any mercy to the enemy."

Mourinho originally had an extreme personality, but under the influence of Edward, he incorporated some oriental philosophical thoughts. Mourinho felt that since he offended someone, he must offend him to the end, leaving no room for it!

Ramos has long been looking forward to his first game. Although he is a striker, he is still very excited. He is not very skilled in running positions, but he is very diligent.

Not long after the start of the second half, Ramos stole the ball in the frontcourt and gave it to Robben. Robben's sharp inside cut tore through the opponent's defense again. I don't know if it was intentional, but he didn't choose to shoot directly. Instead, it was passed to Ramos. Ramos, who succeeded in anti-offside, pierced Hamburg's goal with a burst shot, 5:0!

This goal made the Hamburg fans completely give up, leaving the field in pieces.

They don't want to see the team continue to be humiliated.

But this is not the end, Union Berlin did not slow down the pace of attack, in the 71st minute, Materazzi scored his first Bundesliga goal with a free kick, 6:0.

Near the end of the game, Vidic, who came off the bench, received a header from Alonso's corner kick and broke the net. The final score was fixed at 7:0.

Ambitious Hamburg was completely humiliated and bloodbathed at the season premiere. It is estimated that they will not be able to recover for a long time.

What the reporters were most concerned about after the game was what Van der Vaart thought.
