Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 268 Prank?
In the past six Bundesliga seasons, Hamburg's highest ranking is the third in the Bundesliga, participated in the European Champions Cup, but failed in the group stage, and the lowest ranking is eighth. On average, the overall score is fourth and fifth in the Bundesliga. The overall level is actually not bad, which is why Hamburg fans are full of expectations after investing more than the average level of the Bundesliga's overall transfer market before each season, but the ranking at the end of the season is not big. Progress has disappointed them.

Not to mention, Hamburg's performance declined last season, from fifth in the previous season to seventh in the league. It may seem that the ranking has only dropped by two places, but if you look closely at the gap in the standings, at the end of the 09 season , Hamburg is only 8 points away from the champion Wolfsburg!
But last season's Hamburg was as high as 18 points away from the champion Bayern Munich!
One of the reasons for the team's failure last season was high-level civil strife, which is too common in world football. The conflict between chairman Hoffman and manager Beiersdorf caused high-level turmoil, and Beiersdorf eventually resigned angrily , because Hoffman fired Labbadia, who he supported.

Before Hamburg is looking for a new coach, the team manager is also the club that needs to arrange a new position quickly. Unlike the structure of other European clubs, German clubs cannot be privately held because of express regulations. The maximum private holding share is 49%, and the club itself owns 51%. In other words, it is necessary to ensure that the club cannot become the private property of a certain person or a certain group. Therefore, it is often necessary to ensure reasonableness and completeness in the power structure of the club. The club also has a board of directors and a board of supervisors composed of member fans. Generally speaking, German clubs still give full play to the rigor of the Germans.

Hoffman's favorites, Sammer and Bierhoff, rejected his invitation successively. In Germany, anyone with a bit of reputation seemed unwilling to work under Hoffmann, for fear of being deprived of their autonomy.

At the end of May, Hoffman appointed Bastian Reinhardt, a former player with no previous management experience, as sports manager.

The Hamburg fans are naturally unsatisfied with this, but perhaps they have nothing to say about Hoffman. They can only hope that the board of directors will not renew Hoffman's contract next summer. Mann will leave the chairmanship.

In the early morning of June 6th, Reinhardt, who just took office, was conscientious. He got up early to go to work at the club, player renewals, negotiations in the transfer market, no matter who the new coach is or when he will come. Work cannot stand still.

But as soon as he drove away from home, he received a call from Chairman Hoffman. He turned around and went to Hoffman's house to pick up Mr. Chairman, and then went to Sofitel Alte Wall Hotel.

When Reinhardt's car pulled into the hotel parking lot, the reporters camped outside were keenly aware that something unusual was about to happen.

Hamburg is the media capital of Germany. Major national media have set up their headquarters in Hamburg, and there are more than [-] media-related companies!

It is almost impossible to hide anything happening here.

The traditional media industry has already released news, and it is difficult for programs to suddenly insert catchy news, but the Internet media in the new era has already exploded!
"Hamburg sports manager Reinhardt's car drove into the Sofitel Alte Wall Hotel! Situ Yunbing lives here!"

"Burger Club may be brewing shocking news!"

"Will Hoffmann surprise Hamburg fans?"

The ghost knows how Hoffman and Reinhardt are feeling now.

Reinhardt has just retired not long ago, even if he puts on the jersey and plays again, it will not be a big problem, so he is full of energy.

The car had been parked in the parking lot for more than a minute, but neither of them got out of the car.

"This is not a joke, is it?"

Reinhardt looked at Hoffman suspiciously.

The whole world knows the news of Situ Yunbing's resignation from Monaco. There are many speculations about his next stop, but none of them have any actual basis.

Although Hoffman is over 50, he looks very young. At this time, he is frowning and hesitant.

"I don't know if it's an oolong. No one can help me verify whether the person who called me is him."

"He called you? Didn't you take the initiative to invite him?"

"My God, I'm going to invite a coach who just won the Champions League and swept France? Who can give me the courage?"

Reinhardt was at a loss for a moment, and asked, "Did he take the initiative to become Hamburg's coach?"

Hoffman nodded and said: "That's what he said on the phone. He asked me if Hamburg was looking for a new coach? I said yes, and he said he wanted to apply. When will the Champions League champion coach find a job by himself? "

Reinhardt was even more confused and said, "Isn't there a rich family who invited him?"

Hoffman said casually: "I thought so too, but after I went back and did some homework, I found that there might be no giants to invite him. Don't worry about the giants in the Premier League. It is impossible for Manchester United and Arsenal to change coaches. Chelsea's coach Ancelotti is also the coach of the Champions League champion, and he won the league title just last year. Manchester City, the fourth in the Premier League, only changed their coach half a year ago. Mancini has done a good job, at least leading Manchester City into the Champions League next season.

Serie A giants Inter Milan coach Mourinho left, but how could they invite Situ Yunbing? The No.2 Roma has improved so much, the club must be crazy if they fire their coach. AC Milan heard that they are talking with Allegri. It is estimated that they were scared by the young coach Leonardo last season. Needless to say, Real Madrid invited Mourinho, Guardiola was so successful in Barcelona, ​​as for the No.4 team in La Liga, I think they must be very satisfied to enter the Champions League next season, anyway La Liga The championship has nothing to do with them, so there is no need to bother.

Among the teams in our league, Magath led Schalke 04 to the runner-up and improved significantly, Van Gaal led the team to the championship, Heynckes also did a good job in Leverkusen, and Schaaf did not do well in Werder. Mei has worked for so many years, who would invite him?
Among the clubs that have publicly invited him, Lyon is the most famous, but he doesn't seem interested. "

Reinhardt nodded and sighed: "Then we are lucky!"

Hoffman pushed the door and got out of the car, and when he walked to the elevator, he said: "Who knows, he is a mysterious Chinese, and we don't know the Chinese way of thinking. Maybe he needs a challenge, maybe he happened to us in Monaco. Unknown things, all in all these are not important, if this is a prank, I will go along with the flow and invite him to be Hamburg coach in person, if he refuses, we will leave, if it is not a prank"

Hoffmann himself can't imagine that if everything is true, then this is simply the luckiest and incredible day he has been chairman of Hamburg.

When Hoffman and Reinhardt knocked on the noble suite where Situ Yunbing stayed, they saw the scene inside the room with completely dumbfounded expressions.

The design style of this hotel is minimalism, giving people a modern and avant-garde but clean and simple comfort. There is a big blackboard with the names of some Hamburg players written on it, some with ticks behind them, and some with crosses!

The coffee table was full of notebooks and A4 papers filled with English, and waste paper was scattered around the coffee table. Situ Yunbing and Alonzo were only wearing shorts and bare upper body, and their hair was messy and obviously not cleaned up.

After Situ Yunbing stretched out his hand and smiled to signal the two to enter the room, Hoffman and Reinhardt didn't even know whether to find an open space to stand or go to the corner and sit on the sofa.

Alonzo quickly pushed the sofa to the coffee table, then quickly crumpled up some useless materials on the coffee table and threw them into the trash can that was almost full, and poured water for the two of them.

Germany is the country with the highest popularity of English among European countries, probably more than 60%, that is to say, 10 out of 6 Germans can communicate in English without any problem. This is because both German and English belong to the branch of the Germanic language family. The West Germanic language family, if you switch to French, Italian, and Spanish, there will be a certain generation gap.

In Germany, the higher the level of education, the better the mastery of English. Basically, English is taught from elementary school.

So Situ Yunbing doesn't need to be so anxious to learn German. Of course, learning German is necessary, but there is no need to be so urgent.

After Alonzo brought water to the two, Situ Yunbing asked Hoffman with a solemn expression: "Mr. Chairman, we communicated on the phone yesterday. I want to apply for the position of Hamburg coach. I don't know what investigation you need to do about me, or what is the content of the interview?"

Hoffman just took a sip of water and almost spit it out. After coughing twice, he put down his water glass and asked seriously, "Do you really want to coach Hamburg?"

Situ Yunbing replied firmly: "Of course! My goal is to lead Hamburg to win the Bundesliga championship."

Reinhard couldn't help puffing out his chest. I don't know why, but listening to the Chinese young marshal's speech, it just boosted morale!

Listen, how domineering!

Take the championship!
None of Hamburg's previous coaches dared to say that!
Of course, if you can't do it, it's bragging, but if you can do it, it's awesome.

With reference to his achievements in Monaco, at least for now no one dares to question his determination and goals.

Hoffman also felt as if he had been given a shot in the arm, and immediately said: "Okay, then you are the new coach of Hamburg!"

Situ Yunbing shook hands with him with a smile. Hoffman felt a little absurd. At such a sacred moment, he in a suit and leather shoes shook hands with Situ Yunbing who was shirtless and reached a verbal agreement? !

Relieved, he asked Situ Yunbing in a low voice, "I don't know what your requirements are in terms of annual salary?"

Situ Yunbing said with a smile: "How much do you think the coach of the Bundesliga champion should pay, then write how much in the contract."
