Chapter 202 Advising Ribery

Union Berlin played in Monaco for half a day, and only took a special plane back to Berlin in the evening. On the way back, Edward noticed that Ribery's face was so ugly that it would kill him. It was really scary to match his scar.

I knew it would be like this, Ribery is a bit stingy, and Edward knew a thing or two about his temper even if he was a fan in his previous life, so he skipped Ribery when he first started planning the team's fortune.

In his previous life, he played well at Bayern, King of Allianz, the best treatment for Bayern, but he was ready to leave as soon as Real Madrid hooked up with him, and he couldn't even keep a super player like Bayern. , Let Real Madrid stop thinking, it is estimated that he has already gone to Real Madrid to play.

This is one of the reasons why Edward didn't want to find Ribery at the time.

For example, Robin van Persie has been at Arsenal for many years, and finally went to Manchester United after seeing no hope of winning the championship. When Robben and others transferred, they did not have conflicts with their old club. This is the main thing. It will not work with Ribery. This Frenchman is a bit unbearable, and Edward doesn't know if the atmosphere in the Union Berlin team can fully integrate him.

But now that he is in Berlin, he should persuade him. After all, it's all his fault. He can't just sign people without teaching them. This is not his style.Edward's style is that you are obedient, you are willing to pay and you will definitely not let you suffer, but if you don't listen to any persuasion, Edward will not waste his words. The conditions for signing Ribery are much easier than Van der Vaart.

With low salary and no reputation, even if he is transferred to the reserve team, no one will come out to make irresponsible remarks. Van der Vaart and a group of Dutch seniors will come out to support him. This is the gap between a wealthy genius and a wild genius.

It was already night when we returned to Berlin, and the team disbanded directly. There is still a half-day holiday tomorrow, and then we will return to the team for training.

The European Super Cup did delay some things, but with the strength of Union Berlin, there is no need to be too entangled. There is a relaxation in everything, so that the players can relax.

You can't play any team like you are facing a big enemy. The transfer period is not over yet, and the players have not fully entered the season, so it is better to take it slowly at this time.

------

When he got home, Edward didn't rest directly, but called the old guard to his side.

Philip Jennings first reported what had happened in the past few days, including his family, the team, Berlin, and European football. The old butler could always find something that might be useful for Edward, which made his job easier Not a lot.

It turned out that when they went to Monaco, that little girl Avril Lavigne came to Berlin, but she left soon after seeing that he was not there. After all, she is now very popular and doesn't have so much free time.

Then Edward began to discuss tomorrow's business with the old housekeeper: "Philip, how can I satisfy a greedy and ambitious man?"

"Well." The old housekeeper said after a moment of pondering: "People's desires will never be satisfied. It is difficult for a greedy person to learn to be grateful. Fei Chuu uses his best ability to satisfy him, so that other people have no ideas, so he will naturally There will be no problem... If what Master Edward said is a player, then Union Berlin can definitely satisfy his future ambitions and even satisfy his desires, but I want to ask if he is worth it?"

"Of course not worth it!"

Edward said it without even thinking about it. Ribery was also a player who could win the Ballon d'Or in his peak period, but there are many such players in Union Berlin. Robben was like that in his peak period. Now he has developed better than in his previous life. Van Persie and Villa are equally good, and he can even run Nesta to win awards like Cannavaro. Of course, only Ronaldinho in the team has had the opportunity to hit the Golden Globe Award for ten years since his outbreak. No matter how round the treatment is, it will not be Ribery's turn.

Although he likes players with personality, Ribery's personality is a bit troublesome, and he also has some problems in doing things. There are some things that Edward is unwilling to touch, such as Benzema, a genius who has exploded in Ligue [-] in his previous life. I don't like any of them, so I don't have much feeling for Ribery.

"Then let him understand your majesty and the strength of the team. If he leaves the team, it will be difficult to win the championship. If the treatment is not too different in the future, he may not leave." Philip Jennings gave his own suggestions.

The old housekeeper immediately asked again: "Is he asking for treatment now? You are very tough and rarely ask me such things."

"No, I just think he has that kind of character." Edward said.

Philip Jennings not only laughed dumbfounded, he said: "Master Edward, I don't know what you think, but what didn't happen is inaccurate. Even if he was a greedy thing before, it needs to be combined with his Judging from my own situation, it might have changed in Berlin, and many kids in the team didn’t have very good personalities when they came here, but they are not doing well now.”

"It was indeed my mistake."

Edward slapped his head and admitted his mistake.

What the old butler said makes sense. I haven’t heard of Ribery’s problems before he became famous. After that, he wanted to transfer to Real Madrid in Bayern Munich. Many players are like that, but Union Berlin’s players may not have the intention to transfer to Real Madrid. .

The only problem is his character, Edward really doesn't like to find JI.

It seems that in addition to persuading him to take the initiative to integrate into the team, he also needs to be given some advice in life.As a football star, you can hook your fingers with a girl if you want. Edward really doesn't understand their kind of thing.

----

At the end of training the next day, Edward called Ribery to his office.

First, the game video of Franck Ribery's debut in the European Super Cup was played. Ribery sat there very well-behaved, even very humble. For a person like him who has experienced the ups and downs of life, he knows too well what it means to be a billionaire.

The lower the people, the more eager they want to change their lives.

And those who don't lack anything in their own lives are often not so ambitious.

So many rich people come from the bottom, self-made ruthless people, and middle-class children usually have difficulty climbing to the ceiling, which is why they are not so eager to change their lives.

Franck Ribery knew that as long as Edward wanted to, he could change the lives of most people, and this majority included him.

This change may be good or bad, so he is very disciplined.

"Frank, you were replaced early in the last game. I know you are very angry... But after watching the video of the game, didn't you find anything? There are many talents in the team, don't they all know how to dribble the ball by themselves? Even Robben knows how to cooperate with his teammates, Union Berlin don't need players who act on their own, you know what I mean?"

"Yes... yes, Mr. Chairman."

Ribery was quick to answer.

But Edward felt that it was just because of his fear of himself, but he didn't understand the reason.

So Edward decided to take him to the young team to see. Ribery had visited before, but it was just a glimpse.

Passing through the training ground of the first team, the training ground of the youth team, which should have been disbanded long ago, is still relatively lively, and several players are still training extra.It seems that there are players of all ages. After all, it is impossible for all players from the youth team of the same level to stay, because there are not many people, so they used a training ground.

Edward casually pointed to a player who was practicing free kicks and asked: "How does his free kick level compare with yours?"

"Not as good as me, but I'm not as good at something as big as him."

Ribery still couldn't help but marvel, the child looked to be about 12 years old.

"Tony, come here."

Edward waved and called Cross to his side.

Cross trotted all the way, he and Edward are very familiar, it should be said that the youth team and Edward are quite familiar.

"Mr. President, what's the matter?"

Cross asked, panting heavily, afraid of something, so he ran very fast, breathing evenly.

"No, I just wanted to ask you a few questions."

"Good sir."

Edward thought for a while and then said: "During the game, there is a defensive player in front of you, and you are not sure to pass him. At this time, the team is counterattacking. How do you think you should deal with it?"

"Passing, as long as you don't have a good grasp, you don't have a good chance of passing people. Of course, passing the ball is important."

"Then if it's a very good chance to counterattack, you may score if you pass someone, but your teammates are responding in other positions, how do you choose?"

"I will consider the opportunity to pass the opponent. If I am not sure, I will still pass the ball. Another question is whether my own failure will cause the team to be counterattacked."

"Okay, it's okay, let's go back to play football."

Although there are few tactical courses for young children, the youth teams of Union Berlin at all levels have a concept, that is, offense and defense are definitely not a matter of one person or a line of defense, but a matter of the whole team.

Forwards can't just think about offense when they play, and defenders can't just think about defense.

After hearing this, Ribery was still a little dissatisfied. He felt that he had a high success rate and was more threatening.

His expression was clear to Edward, and Edward continued to shout towards the court: "Children, how about a small-scale game?"

"Good sir!"

The rules of this game are very simple. After all, there are not many players on both sides, and the only goalkeeper for extra training is Neuer himself, so there is no goalkeeper. They are divided into two groups to play wickets.

After the start of the game, Ribery found several players who were good at breaking through, but they seldom had a breakthrough performance.

Edward pointed to the court and said: "That kid is called Aiden Hazard. His breakthrough ability is not bad, and that kid is Kevin De Bruyne. He also has a strong breakthrough ability in the middle, but you see When it comes, the players on the team always pass the ball."

"Maybe you think you are very good, but your current strength has not reached the level of the main force. The main winger will often cooperate with his teammates. Even children understand the truth. Why don't you understand?"

"Players need to respect the team's tactics, not the team's service for you. If it is in a small team, there will be that kind of tactics around a player. There will be no such thing in any strong team. There will be fewer and fewer such tactics in the future, because it depends too much on the player's state and performance on the day, and there are many unstable factors such as injuries, no matter how strong the players are, it is impossible."

Edward patted Ribery on the shoulder and said: "Berlin Union has enough talents. In fact, you are not a special goal, so you think about how you want to play. If you still go your own way, the coach may not be there in the future. Give you a chance."

After Edward finished speaking, he turned and left. Franck Ribery looked at the stadium in a daze. After a while, he went to the home court and asked to play football together. The children didn't say much and took him to play together.

--------

The next day, Ribery found Boas to apologize.

Although he still felt that his breakthrough was sharper, he thought of a reason.

The youth team has so many talents in extra training, but what about those who have not been extra training, if the coach gets ruthless and directly transfers players from the youth team, he really has no chance.

Boas can naturally see that Ribery is still a little bit dissatisfied, but things like personality have to change slowly, and Boas didn't say much, since he apologized, he is a good boy.

It will be fine to adjust slowly in the future.

Boas is still very optimistic about Ribery. This player looks more comprehensive than Robben, and his skills are not bad, but his technical movements and physical fitness are not up to the level of the first team of Berlin Union. Fortunately, he is enough. Young people can slowly improve.

If he can really integrate into the team, it will be a good thing for Union Berlin.

He is not the same as Mourinho. He is more willing to train young players, especially when the team is not under too much pressure. After all, he is a young man himself, and he is not so cold.

Because of the obsession in his heart, Mourinho prefers immediate combat power. His hatred for Barcelona has been deeply rooted, and he can't wait so long to slowly develop players.

If it wasn't because Union Berlin was in the Bundesliga Bundesliga, he would not have agreed to use those players at all.Edward took over the first season in the Bundesliga Bundesliga, which gave those children enough time to adapt to Germany and let them continue to grow. There is no way to replicate this kind of thing.

At the weekend, Union Berlin's opponent was Nuremberg, and Villas-Boas had a certain degree of rotation, but Ribery still didn't get a chance to start.

Not long after the start of the first half, Sun Jihai found an opportunity to make a 45-degree cross. Klose's header decisively helped the team open the score.Sun Jihai's ability to pass the ball is still good, and this goal also laid a good start for the game.

In the 30th minute, De Jong's long-range shot rewrote the score again. At this time, Union Berlin had already led by 2 goals.

In the second half, Franck Ribery finally got a chance to play. He made an old mistake in the first attack, but he quickly explained his situation in detail and began to actively cooperate with his teammates.

Although he was still a little unfamiliar, Boas finally smiled.

The tacit understanding can be developed slowly, but the thoughts of the players are more important. Now seeing Ribery take the initiative to integrate into the team, their painstaking efforts are not in vain.

At the end of the game, Ribery participated in a goal. His pass from the left was pushed behind the defender by De Jong. Villa, who came off the bench, directly rewritten the score and helped the team completely seal the victory.
