Chapter 188 Free Berlin Cup China Tour
Edward is going to move the third Liberty Berlin Cup to China. Although some giants have arranged warm-up matches at this time, there are still many teams that have not arranged. This is also a matter of his improvisation. By the way Reach deeper cooperation with some clubs.

He quickly communicated with Gongti, and the other party was naturally very happy but also encountered difficulties because Real Madrid had booked a trip to China.Edward directly communicated with Florentino on the phone, and the two sides easily decided on this matter. As for the original opponents of Real Madrid, Edward plans to invite them to participate in the Free Berlin Cup.

Morning flight back to Madrid.This time they can be described as "full rewards" --- earned a lot of money.

Real Madrid's Asian tour has already booked two places in China and Japan, and is still discussing Hong Kong and Thailand. Since Edward invited them to participate in the cup, there is no way to go to the other two places.

But it is also very beneficial, that is, you can play high-quality friendly matches in Asia.

The opening of the Liberty Berlin Cup is at the beginning of August, just as Real Madrid has completed their trip to Japan, and the quality of the rest can be used to make up for the loss of their Asian trip. If there is no Edward, Real Madrid will let them this Asian trip The preparations for the war were in a mess. When they went to China in the previous life, Edward was still a child, but he still had a fresh memory of this incident.

Real Madrid earned about 4 million euros in total in the four games in Asia this time.In China, Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand, they were extremely warmly received by fans.More importantly, in the long run, their trip succeeded in opening the door to a lucrative Asian market that had already been penetrated by Italian and English clubs.

Edward to help Real Madrid?How can it be?

He is going to let Union Berlin teach that traitor Mourinho a lesson in Gongti!
Now that Union Berlin, Real Madrid, and the Dragon Team have been confirmed to participate, Edward plans to invite 16 teams this time. He plans to invite a Japanese team and let them be the opponents of Union Berlin at that time, which can help Berlin. It is better for United to win the support of Chinese fans, although they are already a very popular team in China now.

Soon Edward invited many teams. After all, this is an important opportunity to explore the Asian market. Before they go to Gongti, they can also arrange friendly matches in other places in Southeast Asia.

The full list of 16 teams is star-studded: Union Berlin, Real Madrid, Chinese Dragons, Kyoto Phoenix, Schalke 04, Werder Bremen, Nice, Manchester United, Parma, Valencia, Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon , Ajax, Suwon Samsung, Sunderland, Eindhoven.

Almost all of this list has business dealings with Edward, and they have bought players from them, or they have ulterior motives.

Take PSV Eindhoven for example, Edward is planning to buy captain Van Bommel from them. This is an on-site inspection. As for Manchester United, he plans to buy the team in the future. Now it is very good for Manchester United to develop the Chinese market together. matter.

Sunderland, Parma, and Bremen will hardly have the ability to develop the Asian market in the future. It is just right to pull them together. Bremen is now one of the important allies. Sunderland is the younger brother of Manchester United, and Parma is the famous one. The Seven Sisters are well-known in China, and Aspen Athletic is basically a team that has no ability to develop the Chinese market.

Although Ajax is a giant, their league will be reduced to a third-rate league in the future, and joining them will not affect Union Berlin's expansion of its fan base.

Nice was also invited for this reason. These teams with little income value this commercial activity very much, and they can also enjoy high-level friendly matches. Why not do it.

Needless to say, the Dragon Team was the home team. For their sake, Edward even brought his own referee to walk them out. Although this method is not very glorious, it is indeed necessary.

He is not trying to deceive the fans, but hopes to inject a boost to Chinese football. If he is not afraid of backlash, he even wants to send the Dragons to win the championship all the way.

Suwon Samsung and Kyoto Phoenix are very interesting. They are both one of Edward’s scheduled opponents. There are many historical reasons for them. The precision Phoenix is ​​the opponent of Berlin United, and Suwon Samsung is to help the Dragons overcome their fear of Korea. .

When the Football Association received this list, it was almost scared to death. Not to mention that many of them are giants, it is a big deal to have 16 foreign professional teams in one go, not to mention the super giants of the four major leagues.

This time they finally realized a key big problem, that is, the quality of the work body was not up to standard.If those superstars are injured after playing in Gongti, it will seriously affect the international image, and no team will even want to play warm-up matches in China.

After discussing with Edward, the game will be divided into two places, and then the finals will return to Gongti, otherwise even if it is replaced with a good turf, it will not be able to bear it.

At the same time, Hongkou Stadium and Workers Stadium have entered China Speed ​​at the same time. This time, the renovation of the venues was carried out at all costs, not only the turf, but also the interior and exterior facades of the venues.

It was only then that Edward realized how much trouble his willfulness had caused domestically. Although China would definitely like such a grand event to be held in China, it was he who caused trouble to the country after all.

Edward changed hands and donated [-] million euros, all in foreign exchange!Almost scared the leaders of the Football Association to death.

After two seasons, Edward received 15 billion euros from his grandfather's inheritance. He didn't care about this little money for his motherland, but he still told the other party that it was only 2000 million euros.

After all, his identity is German and European, and this kind of thing is more sensitive.At the same time, Edward donated 50 euros to an orphanage in Germany, making the "Berliner Daily" hype. These are all learned from Mr. Lei. Spend a small amount of money to do big things. If you brag well, the amount of donation is not a problem.

Because Edward's donation is in place, the domestic speed is faster. At this time, foreign exchange is very important. At the same time, they have also been instructed to give these stars the best reception, especially Berlin Union, Berlin Union Chairman Edward Hoffman It is obvious that he is an international friend who has a heart for China. It would not be beautiful if he really misunderstood because of trivial matters.

Although it didn't say what the consequences would be, everyone understood it.

Those stupid foreign guests who don't like China can get good hospitality, not to mention people like Edward, Edward himself has a huge influence, and he is willing to extend a hand of friendship to China, not the kind of words, It was a donation of [-] million euros in real money.

It is hundreds of times stronger than those foreign devils who can only talk.

However, even though they only claimed to donate 2000 million euros, Edward's name was once again a household name. After all, it is too scary to donate 1 million in real money. I really don't know what expression they will have when they know that it is [-] million euros.

Edward already impressed many people during the World Cup last year, and he was often mentioned in the Bundesliga broadcast, so Union Berlin can get the best broadcast treatment. Occasionally, he will be highlighted by the commentator when he appears on camera, but Now his donation of real money makes people realize his sincerity.

And most importantly, he even invited 14 teams to China to play a warm-up match. This is an unprecedented prosperity in Asian football. Even if the ticket sales have not yet started, the tickets for the game have already begun to sell. Who doesn't want to watch a giant's game up close.

The broadcast of this game was still handed over to the old friend Sky TV. This time, the broadcast fee was as high as 3000 million euros. There was no competition this summer, and the gold content of the game was very high, so there was such a high fee.

In order to ensure the quality of the broadcast, the staff of Sky TV flew to China early to carry out technical transformation. After the transformation, the benefits will be Gongti and Hongkou Stadium, so it is impossible for Sky TV to pay, but because Edward donated a sum of money, so It saves a lot of trouble, and in the future, there will be two stadiums in the midfield that will also use world-class broadcast angles.

Edward directly notified all teams that the appearance fee is 100 million euros, and the guarantee of entering the top four is 4 million euros. At the same time, the champion, runner-up and third place will have trophies and more bonuses.

The champion is 500 million, the runner-up is 300 million, and the third is 150 million. These are independent of the top four bonuses. That is to say, the income of entering the top four is 4 million, 800 million, 600 million, and 450 million. And the bonus, the amount is not small at all, and it can even make their transfer fee more abundant.

So many teams started to gear up. Before that, they first contacted other countries in Southeast Asia to warm up. Even if they temporarily arranged for a lower playing fee, they had nothing else to do in summer anyway.

This is the arrangement of old giants like Ajax, and Sunderland. Although they are not well-known, they can sell tickets because they are English teams. After all, there are still many countries in Southeast Asia that watch the Premier League, such as Germany. The Bundesliga does not have a big market in Southeast Asia. Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen are gearing up to enter the top four. Although the opponents are very strong, it is not impossible. After all, many giants are ready to continue to make money. Money, their condition cannot be too good, like Real Madrid’s Tokyo trip and the start of the game are only a few days away, and their players have no way to rest well if they count the time on the plane. If this situation enters the death group, they may even May be eliminated.

For this reason, Edward also invited four referees. These four referees are not famous referees. They are all referees from the Eastern European League. The famous referees are not very easy to operate. Although he only wants the Dragon Team to qualify, he will teach Suwon Samsung a lesson. But it is still necessary to ensure that the referee is obedient enough.

Fortunately, this kind of thing happens from time to time in Eastern Europe, so they are not surprised. Edward arranged for a Hungarian referee, and he doesn't need all whistles to have problems.

In addition, he also invited German famous Beckenbauer and Manchester United famous Bobby Charlton to go to the scene to draw lots together. This is completely World Cup-level treatment. Tiffano, this old guy is very badass. If someone else's celebrity is present, their absence will suffer. As long as he can expand his influence, he doesn't care about any means.

At the same time, his vision is also very vicious, and he has set his sights on the Chinese market early on, which Edward admires very much.

This level of competition has directly become the most important event in the summer of world football.

Sky TV is also very good at being a man. Knowing that there is still a gap in China's broadcasting technology, it directly gave them the signal on the spot and let 5 sets of commentary. This is not because they are interested in this market, but because they are interested in Edward. Edward donated 2000 million euros. I don't understand What does it mean to be a fool, this rich and self-willed super lucky guy probably really likes China.

Edward and Union Berlin are important partners of Sky TV, so there is no need to say much about this kind of easy work, they will do it directly. It’s not that Europeans don’t care about relationships, they care about relationships more than anyone else. It seems that doing things according to rules is just Because you don't have a strong enough relationship to give him enough benefits, that's all.

When Union Berlin had already begun to assemble and prepare to leave, Bayern Munich finally announced an important transfer. The Brazilian super genius Kaka they had previously finalized was transferred to Bayern Munich.

At the same time, "Bild" publicized the grievances between Edward and Kaka. Only then did European fans find out that Edward had bridged a corner, and he chased him to Germany to prepare for trouble.

This kind of incident made Hoffman Manor a place where reporters gathered, and Edward hurriedly set off with David Gill to leave Berlin ahead of schedule.

The original plan was for him to set off with the team, and David Gill took the lead in discussing football cooperation with them. Now if he sees trouble, he will fly with him directly, although those reporters can’t cause him any trouble. , but still quite annoying, especially for journalists in England.

They don't have any bottom line, and if they are not careful, their privacy will be photographed. This kind of thing still gives Edward a headache.

When the plane landed at the Capital Airport, Edward and the staff of Union Berlin were all brought down, and the floor was full of people.

"Welcome welcome, warm welcome."

"Welcome welcome, warm welcome."

Edward took a closer look and knew that he should be a student of Beijing Film Academy. He was about the same age, with outstanding temperament and appearance, so he really took it very seriously.

"Is everyone so enthusiastic here?" David Gill asked Edward in a low voice. He had never seen such a battle, and he even thought that the other party was waiting for some officials from other countries and found the wrong person.

"David, you will soon find out that the Chinese are the most tolerant in the world. As long as you treat them better, they would like to give you their hearts."

"It's not a bad thing anyway." I don't believe so much about David Gill that Edward said, after all, British TV stations often report negative news.

Edward didn't say much, and after a long time, the other party would understand that he was telling the truth.

The reception from the other party was really good, the best accommodation environment, and after putting away the luggage, I asked Edward what he meant and went directly to Quanjude.

It was originally planned to arrange for them to eat Western food, but Edward just wanted to eat roast duck.In his previous life, he loved food very much. He couldn't eat authentic roast duck in Germany. How could he go to eat some Western food after finally returning to China?

David Gill and the others were still a little dissatisfied with Edward's arrangement, they were afraid that it would not taste good.

But when it came to the dinner table, the few of them ate more fiercely than anyone else.

The two young men, the German translator and the English translator who were in charge of the reception, whispered to each other immediately.

"This German has never eaten meat, why is one or two of them as if they have been hungry for several days?"

"It seems that the developed countries are not as good as they say."

The two young people have never been abroad, so there is such a statement.

But the person in charge of reception immediately gave them a look, Edward can speak Chinese.

"Don't worry, these guys are really embarrassing." Edward said with a smile directly: "Don't embarrass them, after all, they are young people, and it is normal to have curiosity."

If they don’t translate and explain for the two of them, the future of the two of them may be destroyed. Edward thinks they are right. These bastards are completely carried away after eating roast duck, especially when they specially invited the initials to cook them a palace dish in other places. elbow.

Elbow is also one of the important ingredients in Germany, but where have they eaten this way.It melts in the mouth, soft and sweet, with only fragrance at the beginning, and other flavors mixed in later, with endless aftertaste.

After wolfing it down, another dish of boiled cabbage was served. Looking at the expressions of several staff members, Edward knew that they had underestimated this dish. The boiled cabbage looked clear and watery, but it was actually cooked with chicken soup and many spices. This is a state banquet dish.Although he has eaten in restaurants, no matter how he thinks about it, he knows that ordinary restaurants are definitely different from state banquets.

Sure enough, they were taken aback again. David Gill, an Englishman, and several German staff members were almost finished with one meal.

But the reception staff didn't seem to want to end like this, and arranged desserts after dinner according to European eating habits.Although it will not be exaggerated, four or five small and exquisite items are similar to works of art.

Even Edward, a Chinese in his previous life, couldn't tell what kind of desserts they were. He only recognized a pair of double-skin milk, and he didn't know the rest at all.

While eating, he immediately realized that it was extraordinary, and he would never use bad things when entertaining people, especially Edward was a very important guest.

"You are bothered."

Edward gracefully ate the dessert in front of him, and thanked him immediately after wiping his mouth.The other party's arrangement is really thoughtful.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, as long as you are satisfied." The receptionist saw that Edward was so polite, but he couldn't let it go. The other party is a super rich man. Ordinary people eat with Bill Gates, even if the other party is very polite. It will be very restrictive, which is the same reason.

When he was full of wine and food, Edward saw that there was only one duck left and asked, "Can you pack it for me?"

"what?"

The reception staff did not expect that Edward would make such a request, but they immediately responded: "Yes, yes, I thought..."

"Think rich people will waste food?" Edward looked at the other party with a smile and said, "It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat drips down the soil. Who knows that the food on the plate is hard work. I also studied "Pity Farmers" of."

"Mr. Edward really understands Chinese culture!"

There was a lot of flattery so that David Gill and others didn't know what happened.

On the way to the meeting, the two translators sitting in the back car began to talk about today's protagonist.

"This rich German man is different from the foreign guests he received before."

"Indeed, he has the aristocratic temperament in the movie, but he is very easy-going, unlike the ones I saw before who always thought they were superior."

"This kind of possibility is the real superiority. Mr. Edward can interpret the meaning of a gentleman."

The two of them had a very good impression of Edward, because Edward gave everyone some small gifts after the meal. They were not very expensive, but they were all special products, which happened to not embarrass them, and they could appreciate their hearts.

In fact, Edward has prepared other gifts, but those will not be given until he leaves.

At the end of July, Caroline and Winona flew to China with the team, and they complained a lot after meeting.

"Eddie, how could you leave us behind."

"Sorry, I also made a temporary decision."

"Then you have to make it up to us."

"Okay, what do you want to do?" Edward asked with his arms around Caroline, lowering his head. Although the girl was close to 1 meters, she was still more than half of his head.

"Come and have fun with me for a few days."

"no problem!"

Caroline's personality is relatively active, but Novena Reed seems to be very interested. When at home, Edward mentioned many times what beautiful scenery and delicious food China has. Under the influence of Edward, the girls were very early Looking forward to playing in China.

Although Jennifer Aniston also wanted to come, but she was afraid that her children would not be able to stand the weather changes, and there was also the matter of the brokerage company, so she had to stay in Berlin.

The reception staff quickly helped them find an English-speaking guide, and Edward thanked them with a smile.

Although he was a Chinese in his previous life, the Chinese have no way to introduce the Forbidden City and the Great Wall like a few treasures. At most, they know the Ming and Qing imperial palaces and the allusions of Meng Jiangnu. There are many stories in a scenic spot, especially this kind of great building, so please invite A professional tour guide is better.

At this time, Jill had already led the team away. They went to Liaocheng, which is a city with a good football atmosphere. They were planning to take a ride and cooperate. I believe that there will be a Liaocheng Berlin United soon. Edward is completely prepared to use a team as the core The starting point is to leverage the entire domestic football environment.This matter is very big and far away, but he does have such a goal. If he can see the national team win the World Cup before the end of his life, he will have no regrets.

Edward thought that those children should also run to get used to the venue, so he waited for a while. He just got off the plane today and just took a look. Let them take a tour together, so that they can sleep better after exhausting their energy and adjust to jet lag.

Sure enough, these ignorant people began to yell when they saw the Forbidden City and the Great Wall. When they learned that the Great Wall was more than 2 kilometers long, they were really shocked. They thought the Great Wall of Scotland was very powerful, but now they are in China. I found out that it was the younger brother.

These young people were indeed full of energy. Even though they got used to the venue after getting off the plane, they still ran and jumped here. Edward couldn't help shouting: "Bastards, you must be careful not to damage the cultural relics."

"It's all right, Mr. Edward."

"No, it's very important. Although no one will know this kind of thing, I will feel sorry for it. This kind of great building should be protected instead of being damaged by future generations."

"You think further."

After spending a few days together, Li Baoku, who was in charge of the reception, finally confirmed that Edward is completely a Chinese hand. He even knows more than many Chinese people. He was even surprised to find that the other party even had a more Chinese way of thinking. This is what happened when I was exposed to Chinese culture since I was a child.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Edward has a good impression of China. People who have so much money to learn are all hobbies. It is impossible to learn Chinese without liking China. The process of learning Chinese is a kind of torture for foreigners.

"Chris, take my picture."

Robben held up the camera and shouted, he really took a lot of pictures today.

"Why didn't you take pictures of me?" Xiao Luo didn't bring a camera today, so he felt very disadvantaged.

"children!"

Edward walked over and said, "Let's take a group photo together. There is a saying on the Great Wall that one cannot be a hero if one does not go to the Great Wall. This sentence means that when you come to China, you must come here for a walk to feel the greatness of the Great Wall."

"Then are we real men?"

Because Edward used true man when translating, the players understood it differently.

"Yeah, you are right, there is another sentence. It's a pity not to eat roast duck. When we go back, we will eat the most famous roast duck."

"Long live Mr. Edward!"

The players laughed and started to stand together to take pictures. They ate everything, but they liked to give Edward face, because Edward would never lie to them.

The photo was taken soon, and today there is an accompanying photographer.

Edward is followed by a lot of staff when he goes out every day, not only him, but also other teams, not so much, and the team's training materials are also important information.

Although it is just a warm-up match for the interest of the invitational tournament, it is indeed a good opportunity for the country to show itself and let the world see the real China.

On the evening of August 8st, the lottery began. This was also broadcast live in the auditorium.Beckenbauer, Di Stefano and Bobby Charlton are full of cards, even if the World Cup draw is not so strong.

It's a pity that Edward arranged the lottery early. This time, the custom-made lottery machine can ensure the result he wants. It is actually very simple. The quality of the balls is different, so it is easy to follow the settings when the machine draws lots. The routine used to draw the result that Edward wanted seemed to be the hand of fate of a famous football star.

The results of the lottery will come out soon.

Group A: Union Berlin, Kyoto Phoenix, Sunderland, Eindhoven.

Group B: Dragons, Suwon Samsung, Nice, Schalke 04.

Group C: Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Werder Bremen, Ajax.

Group D: Manchester United, Valencia, Parma, Sporting Lisbon.

Group C is the real group of death. Anyone in this group may appear. Schaff's Werder Bremen is also very strong now, but what Edward needs to ensure is that the Dragons and Schalke 04 can stand out. There is no need for the death group to test, they just want to warm up normally.

The result of the lottery made Chinese fans rejoice, after all, the Dragons had drawn a relatively weak group.Edward is also very transparent in his mind. Of the 16 teams, the Dragons are the bottom team. They have almost no chance of qualifying, even in Group B. That's why he has to bring his own referee.

The whole game will be broadcast live this time, and Edward hopes to guide more Chinese teenagers on the road of football.Didn't South Korea's football become more popular because of a World Cup?

The first round of the match started on the second day. Union Berlin’s first opponent was the Kyoto Phoenix. Because of Edward’s reason and the fact that the opponent was a Japanese team, Gongti had become the home court of Union Berlin. After the killing order, the players of Union Berlin did not leave any face to the opponent. Not only did they score double-digit goals, but they often celebrated wantonly, which made the fans hooked. Today, Robin Van Persie directly conquered Chinese fans. Although he was very young, he was directly named General Fan.

This is the ambition not to be young.

The Dragons' first opponent was Nice. After a small misjudgment, they tied the French team.

Real Madrid lost to Ajax in the first round, while Inter Milan and Bremen drew.

Manchester United and Valencia respectively defeated their opponents.

Union Berlin was crushed all the way in the group stage, like a bulldozer.

In the second round of Group B, the Dragons had a lot of controversy against Suwon Samsung. Unfortunately, the referee forced the Dragons to win with two penalty kicks.The media from Europe are all rejoicing, and they are also becoming the victim of misjudgment.

The two neighboring teams have been losing in the first two rounds. The Kyoto Phoenix scored a total of 16 goals against Eindhoven and Union Berlin, and only scored one goal, which made Chinese fans feel very happy.

Of course, Edward has his intentions in grouping in this way. Eindhoven was very strong in this period. Eredivisie teams have always attached great importance to offense, so it is easy to score a big score even in the warm-up match, even if it is Manchester United or Real Madrid. They scored 6:1, but Eindhoven could do it. As for Ajax who poached a group of talents in advance because of Edward, they have no way to compare with Eindhoven. The reason why they can win Real Madrid is mainly It's because Real Madrid have too little rest time, they came in a hurry and didn't even adjust the jet lag.

There are several games every other day, and there are several games every day, so the progress is very fast, and the top eight list will be determined soon: Union Berlin, PSV Eindhoven, Dragons, Schalke 04, Inter Milan , Werder Bremen, Valencia, Manchester United.

Edward did not expect that Real Madrid failed to qualify, and now Gongti's plan to beat the opponent directly aborted.But he still finds it very interesting. Mourinho directly overturned the aircraft carrier, and now the pressure on him will be very high.

Even today, Mourinho has never explained to Edward face-to-face like a man why he contacted Real Madrid in private, so that Edward’s previous life’s favor for him disappeared. This guy started to spray his old owner every time he transferred. The kind of refined egoist.

Although he lost the game, Mourinho still had plausible words when he was interviewed by the media: "We are only in the adjustment stage now. Real Madrid's team is very good now. The failure to qualify is entirely due to jet lag and the quality of the turf. Worse."

"But Union Berlin played very well, they didn't have any discomfort."

This sentence alone made Mourinho leave the field in a rage, because he had already recognized the reporter of the "Berliner Zeitung" who was speaking, and his former close partner was ready to take him.

Because the draw for the quarter-finals is separated from the two places, there will be no large-scale draws. The teams in Gongti will draw the teams in Gongti, and the teams in Hongkou Stadium will draw the teams in Hongkou Stadium.

They will all return to Gongti to play football when they reach the top 4.

Union Berlin has drawn Valencia in the draw. Although the opponents of the Dragons are only Werder Bremen, which is the weakest, their Free Berlin Cup has also come to an end. Edward is sure that Schaff's team will not give them any chance .

He and Boas have also finalized that Van Bommel will become the team's new midfield aid, and the transfer will be completed after the game is over. Now David Gill has started negotiations with Eindhoven.

Schalke 04's opponent is Inter Milan, which is also a default decision. Inter Milan's old midfielder may not be able to withstand the impact of Schalke 04. By the way, there is another interesting thing, that is Riquelme's transfer to Inter Milan. His worth is as high as 1300 million pounds. When Barcelona bought him, he only spent 700 million pounds. After a year of use, it was not smooth, and he made money after changing hands. This kind of business can only be completed by Moratti, a negotiator.

Manchester United's opponent is Eindhoven. In fact, Manchester United is capable of winning any team, including Union Berlin, which lost blood in the summer, but Edward still arranged for them a good opponent. Anyway, they all have bonuses. Okay, the money will be given away no matter what.

Sure enough, Bremen didn't give the Dragons any chance, but they still saved face for their hosts, and only scored 3 goals. Schaff's team has super attack power, and only scored so few goals because of them. Withdraw troops early.

Moratti's team did not let Edward down, they lost in front of Schalke 04, the chairman who loves to meddle in the team still has a great negative impact on the team, Hector Cooper He coached well, just because he was the culprit who drove away Ronaldo, so he was fired by Moratti, Zaccheroni took over the team temporarily, and with such a clown chairman on his head, it is really great to lead Inter Milan to the group stage It’s not easy. It’s no surprise to be eliminated by Schalke 04. This Schalke 04 team is the one that won the UEFA Cup before. They are still under the leadership of their legendary head coach, Hub Stevens. Super tough.

There is no suspense for Manchester United to win Eindhoven. Ferguson's team is becoming more and more mature, and there were still weaknesses before, but after Petr Cech left, Manchester United has almost no weaknesses.

The opponent of Union Berlin, Valencia, is a stronger teammate. Benitez is known as a tactical master. Under his leadership, Valencia has reached the Champions League final twice. This strength can already prove how strong they are. powerful.

This is also deliberately arranged by Edward. The group stage is for the players to find their feelings, but the knockout stage cannot be so casual. Find a stronger opponent at the Champions League level and try Boas' ability.

There is no problem with the player strength of Union Berlin. Although Boas had no problem when he temporarily coached the team, it was all Mourinho's tactical thinking. Now the team is in his own hands. Edward must know as soon as possible that he has Incapable of leading the team to fight tough battles.

When encountering a small team, Union Berlin, let alone let Villas-Boas command it, they can score goals even with a dog on a leash, so whether they can fight tough battles will be an important indicator.

And Benitez's Valencia is a good whetstone. They are powerful, but they are not too famous, which puts psychological pressure on the players.

Benitez's team did not disappoint Eduardo either. They immediately showed their strength and played against Union Berlin from the very beginning.

But even so, Union Berlin is not under too much pressure.

One point that Boas is better than Mourinho, Edward has found out, because he has been Robson's spy for a long time, so he will do a lot of homework before every game, and Mourinho will definitely not appear last season The two rounds of the UEFA Cup knockout rounds are a matter of losing first and then winning.

Today, in order to deal with Vicente, he specially prepared the combination of Sun Jihai and Friedrich on the right. This combination has a strong defensive ability. Another point is that Sun Jihai's set of crosses can just deliver shells to Klose.

Because of the transfer of Sneijder, Boas began to try double forwards. The starting double forwards today are Van Persie and Klose. Originally, he wanted to arrange Robben on the left, but considering that Ronaldinho also has certain problems in crossing from the left. The standard, although not as good as the left-footed Robben, but he can also cut inside, which can enrich the team's tactics, so Ronaldinho appears in the starting lineup, and there are not many changes in other positions. De Jong replaced Cambiasso Partner Xavi Alonso.

And Pepe became Nesta's partner. Pepe's speed is good, and Nesta's partner is more reasonable.

The game went on for a while, Union Berlin figured out the opponent's offensive, and immediately launched a counterattack amid the cheers of the fans.

Harvey Alonso did a good job of distributing the ball, and he directly turned to Sun Jihai.The Chinese fans were even happier when they saw Sun Jihai taking the ball, and kept calling Sun Jihai's name.

Sun Jihai did not disappoint the old folks in his hometown. His cross accurately found Klose's head. Of course, there is no doubt about Klose's header ability.

Union Berlin took the lead.

To be honest, this goal made Edward a little disappointed.He hopes to see more commanding performances from Boas, but he scored a goal at the beginning, so what else to watch.

After Union Berlin took the lead, they were very stable, and they directly played hooligans to fight back, putting their opponents in a dilemma.

Sure enough, Union Berlin soon scored again through a counterattack. This time it was Ronaldinho's inside shot. Because he failed in the selection of the best team last season, this young man did not have a day off at all. Even if he practiced repeatedly, Relax the muscles and train again. He doesn't want to lose the best team in the Bundesliga after the end of the season.
