Chapter 116
Before the game, the Dutch media still had high hopes for Groningen, and it was also a Dutch team.But a 7:0 fiasco made them lose their underwear.

Fortunately, they still have a fig leaf, because Union Berlin also has an alias "Dutch National Youth Team".

Although this title is not very suitable now, because this time on the national team match day, all the Dutch players of Union Berlin have entered the national team!

Van Persie, Dirk, Sneijder, De Jong, and even Stegrunberg were called up by the national team for the first time because they became the starting goalkeeper of Union Berlin in these few games at the beginning of the season.

After this qualifying match, it is the national team match day.

Because of the qualifying round, the Union Berlin players had less rest.

Even so, many Union Berlin players returned to the national team to report.

The reporter who was originally stationed in Berlin discovered that Union Berlin has become a major supplier of international players.

Vidic returned to the Serbian national team. Materazzi and Nesta also returned to Italy to report. Four Dutch players went to the latest Oranje. Although Sun Jihai did not return to China, it was because Union Berlin did not want him Going back to play friendly matches, after all, it is too far to go back and forth, jet lag and long-distance flight will affect the player's state. Sun Jihai was still very important during Robben's injury.

Although Ronaldinho is young, he has become No.1 under the golden generation. Even the senior brother Quaresma of Sporting Lisbon does not have his treatment.David Villa was also recruited by the Spanish team because of his outstanding performance in Union Berlin, and Xavi Alonso was also called up. He performed well enough for Real Sociedad last season and even more Going up to the next level, the Spanish national team has no reason to ignore such a player. Veteran Suker is undoubtedly the backbone of Croatia. , but as an all-rounder in the backcourt, he is still very popular with the coach. Evra, who also plays on the left, was also selected for the latest French team.

This time on the national team match day, Union Berlin sent 11 players to each national team!
It is worth mentioning that both Cambiasso and Alves failed to get the call of the national team, especially Alves, who has now faintly surpassed Manchester United's Gary Neville and his predecessors. The trend of the world's number one right back, but even so, he failed to get the call of the national team.

South American national teams are like this, they prefer players from the domestic league.

Only those players who are very famous in Europe can break this vicious circle. As a defender, Alves is obviously not enough for this qualification. He must show better performance to be favored by the national team.

Pepe’s national team tour in the previous life was just a few years later. Even if he develops better in this life, it is difficult to get called by the Brazilian national team. At this time, Pepe has not applied for Portuguese citizenship, but this time he has more choices In addition to being of Brazilian and Portuguese descent, he can also choose to be naturalized after playing in Germany for 5 years. Will he join Hummels and others in the future to forge a steel defense line for Germany?
Edward still prefers Pepe to play for Portugal. After all, he is a fan of Ronaldinho. If Pepe is not in Portugal, Portugal really does not have too many good defenders. Carvalho counts as one, and let Edward think of a third name. Can't think of any.

Friedrich was selected for the national team before and even participated in the World Cup, but he was still not selected for the latest national team squad. In the final analysis, there are too few opportunities in Berlin United, and the national team coach has doubts about his status.

This matter also gave Mourinho a headache.

If the player's future can be guaranteed, who wants to ruin a promising young man.

The competition for the main position of Union Berlin is very strong. As an all-rounder, Friedrich is not his first or even second choice in the position of full back or central defender.

If it were a 30-year-old veteran, he might not be so entangled. After all, the career of a veteran will not have much development, but Friedrich is different. This handsome guy is only 23 years old. If he Still staying at Union Berlin, it is estimated that there will not be much progress in his entire career.

Even if Union Berlin sells this line of defense now, Friedrich will not become a main player.

Mourinho's appetite has been fed by Edward. He is only used to using top players and those children with top talents, neither of which Friedrich is.

He has no chance of becoming the main force of Union Berlin at all.

But this young man's career is still long. Could it be that he has been watching the drinking fountains at Union Berlin?

Although the players did not say anything, some media have already raised this issue.

Mourinho felt that he was not suitable to come forward, so he kicked this difficult question to Edward.

Although he felt that Mourinho was a bit unreliable, Edward decided to come forward to solve the problem.

He asked Friedrich to meet at a kebab restaurant in Berlin.

"Arne!"

Seeing Friedrich, Edward beckoned him over.

The timing was just right, and the other party came by stepping on it.

Friedrich is a typical German, never too early and never late.

"Mr.president."

Frederick said hello.

He doesn't have much personal relationship with Edward, but he also likes Edward. Although Edward is not as old as him, he still chooses to use honorifics. Some people can easily make you ignore his age, especially the rich.

"Don't be so polite, sit down."

Edward ordered a few things directly without asking for the other party's opinion.

There is no such thing as diet control in world football, but in the Union Berlin team, there are already scientific recipes, but it's nothing to prescribe meat once in a while.

"Mr. Chairman, what do you want from me today?" Friedrich was a little nervous. He had never been out alone with Edward. He felt that Edward must not have dinner out of love for him, although Mr. Chairman was very emotional.

"Arney, that's right."

Edward thought for a while, and decided not to go around the corner and said directly: "Jose feels that you have a good chance in the team, and I want to ask your opinion."

"The coach wants me to leave the team?"

Friedrich asked nervously.

"No, no, you misunderstood."

Edward helped Mourinho explain: "Many teams have substitute players, but those players will not be as good and young as you. Jose feels that sitting on the bench at your age is not good for your career development. Okay, so I want to ask you what you mean, if you want to leave, the team will not make too many demands on the transfer fee."

"Do I have to go?"

"Of course not, who doesn't like a player who can play in many positions."

Edward felt that this handsome player was a bit screwed up and couldn't make any sense.

"Okay, Mr. Chairman, then I choose to stay with the team."

"Really stop thinking about it?"

"Really, you've said many times that we're making history, and I feel the same way, I'm on my way to greatness, and even if I go to Bayern Munich, I'm just going to be part of a big German club at a certain stage. , Maybe it’s not important. But staying in Berlin, I will definitely become a member of this great team, even if I’m just a substitute, I’m creating an era with the team.”

Frederick said excitedly.

After all, as a young man, he is always easily excited.

He is not an ambitious player himself, and he is very satisfied with everything living in Berlin. Even if the club is looking for a house for the first-team players, he chooses to live in the dormitory because he likes the atmosphere of the team.

Now Union Berlin is making a lot of money and the team is competitive, so he doesn't have to change places.

Although I want to be the main force, it is more challenging to compete with these strong players in Union Berlin, instead of choosing to go to a small team and become the main force directly.

Even though Union Berlin can only get occasional opportunities, after retiring, he believes that he will still have many good stories to tell.

Since the player has this attitude, Edward will naturally not persuade him to leave.

Some people are always willful. Belleron also never went to a wealthy team in his previous life, and there are many outstanding players who only played for one team in his life. Now it seems that Friedrich also hopes to retire at Union Berlin.

This is good news for Union Berlin.

Friedrich itself represents the local forces. Although Union Berlin is more like an international column, local forces are indispensable. It is a good thing for Union Berlin to have such a good player who can play many positions and is willing to be a substitute. A very good thing, just a little cruel to the player's career.

But since the players themselves have no opinion, there will be no problem.

Edward is now certain that by the time he retires, this handsome player will definitely become one of the famous players of Union Berlin, and perhaps one of the players who have played for the team for the longest time.

This can also make up for the team's lack of foundation.

In the future, when World Football takes stock of a person and a city, this guy will also appear on the best football programs in the world.

After finishing their worries, the two of them had a good dinner.

Friedrich is very talkative, and Edward is omniscient. As the soul of the Chinese, he can make the other party very interested by saying anything casually.

Edward discovered that it was not that Europeans were not interested in China, but that they had too few channels to understand China.

------------

After Mourinho knew the outcome of the matter, he was silent on the phone for a while before hanging up.

He has always been a delicate egoist, but this incident has deeply touched Mourinho.

It is not that Friedrich has no suitors. This versatile backcourt player can gain a foothold in almost all Bundesliga teams, but he actually chose to stay with Union Berlin, even if he does not have a main position.

If this situation is replaced by Mourinho, he thinks he can't do it, but this does not prevent him from respecting this kind of loyal player.

Just as Edward thought, loyalty is also very important in many cases.

The gap between the nouveau riche and the wealthy is the foundation, and the foundation is forged with achievements and the loyalty of countless people.

Union Berlin will have both in the future.

--------

With a newborn at home, Edward naturally couldn't fly abroad to watch Union Berlin's national team match live.

Even Huntelaar, an old player, was selected for the national team in this period. Now there are 5 players in the Dutch national team who are related to Berlin Union. Huntelaar only played 2 times in Inter Milan, but scored 2 goals, the efficiency is not bad.

I believe that in time he will perform even better.

Although unable to go to the scene, Edward still chose to watch the live broadcast of the game at home.

Today's opponent of the Dutch team is England, a team whose reputation is far higher than its strength. Every time the bastards of Fleet Street will blow England as the world's number one, but their performance can only be said to be second-rate in Europe.

Later, many people discovered this problem. England's players are fine, they are very good, but England has never had any good results.

Although several players of Union Berlin are facing England for the first time, they are no strangers to England.

In this England team, there are many players who played against each other in the summer.

Newcastle's Alan Shearer, Manchester United's Scholes, Beckham, Gary Neville and Kenny Butt.

After the opening, the Netherlands played very aggressively.

Dutch football itself attaches great importance to offense, and several players of Union Berlin are even more aggressive. They cooperate very well. Van Persie, who was suspended from the league, failed to get a chance in the UEFA Cup qualifiers. question.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Van Persie received a pass from Sneijder, turned around and broke the England goal with a shot from the top of the restricted area.

Depend on!
This kid is too fierce today!

As soon as Edward sat on the sofa, he saw the Netherlands score a goal. Although Van Persie is good, his performance today was beyond Edward's expectations.

Judging by this posture, Van Persie may be about to explode.

But Edward still guessed wrong, and it was not Van Persie who broke out afterwards, but Sneijder.

This kid did not have the right to take a free kick when he was Union Berlin, but after returning to China, he and his big brother got the right to take a free kick. In the 28th minute of the game, the Netherlands won a free kick in the frontcourt, and Sneijder rewritten the score again in one fell swoop. .

Even the on-site commentary was too excited: "The tulips are in full bloom again. After missing the World Cup, our biggest discovery is the young people of Union Berlin. I believe that in the next 10 years, our offensive ability will not be any better. question."

Although Stam was very tough in defense, he was still found by England.

Towards the end of the first half, Beckham found Shearer with a cross, and Shearer headed past the Dutch goal to make it 2-1.

Not long after the start of the second half, De Jong, who came off the bench, connected with Sneijder. After the two attracted a lot of defensive attention in the frontcourt, Sneijder sent a concealed through ball. Extend the lead to 2 goals.

England was also unwilling to lag behind. In the 72nd minute, it was Shearer who broke the Dutch goal with a long shot.

Three minutes later, Gerrard equalized the score in the same way.

The two sides played in full swing, but the game continued until injury time, neither side could score again, but in the last minute of injury time, the Dutch team won a corner kick, and it was Van Persie again. Rewrite the score.

4: 3,

Lore!
