Chapter 268: .268 Prank?

In the past six Bundesliga seasons, Hamburg’s highest ranking was the third in the Bundesliga. He had participated in the European Champions Cup, but the group stage was dismal. The lowest ranking was eighth. On average, the overall result was fourth and fifth in the Bundesliga. Overall, it’s not bad in general. This is why Hamburg’s investment before each season is higher than the average level of the Bundesliga transfer market and will make fans look forward to it, but the ranking at the end of the season is not big. Progress has disappointed them.
Not to mention, last season, Hamburg’s performance has declined, from fifth in the league last season to seventh in the league. It may seem that the ranking has only dropped by two, but if you look closely at the gap in the standings, at the end of the 2009 season , Hamburg is only 8 points away from the points of champion Wolfsburg!
But last season's Hamburg was 18 points away from the champion Bayern Munich!
One of the reasons for the team’s failure last season was the high-level civil strife, which is too common in world football. The conflict between the chairman Hoffman and the manager Beiersdorf caused high-level turmoil, and finally Beiersdorf left angrily. , Because Hoffman fired Labadia, who he supported.
Before Hamburg finds a new coach, the team manager is also the club that needs to quickly arrange new positions. Unlike the structure of other clubs in Europe, German clubs cannot be privately held due to express regulations. Privately held shares are up to 49%, and the club itself owns 51%. That is to say, it is necessary to ensure that the club cannot become the private property of a certain person or a certain group. Therefore, the power structure of the club often needs to be reasonable and complete at all times. The club also has a board of directors and a board of supervisors composed of member fans. Generally speaking, the German clubs still give full play to the rigor of the Germans.
Hoffman’s favorite Summerer and Bierhoff both declined his invitation. Anyone with a little reputation in Germany seems to be reluctant to work under Hoffman for fear of being deprived of their autonomy.
At the end of May, Hoffman confessed his fate to former player Bastian Reinhardt, who had no previous management experience, as a sports manager.
The Hamburg fans are naturally unsatisfied with this, but perhaps they are speechless with Hoffman. They can only hope that the board of directors will not renew the contract with Hoffman next summer. As long as the board of directors voted down to renew the contract, then Hoff next summer Mann will leave the chairmanship.
In the early morning of June 4th, Reinhardt, who had just taken office, was conscientious. He had to go to the club to work early in the morning, the player's renewal, the negotiation in the transfer market, no matter who the new coach is, when he will come, these Work cannot be stopped.
But as soon as he drove away from home, he received a call from Chairman Hoffman. He turned to Hoffman's house to pick up Mr. Chairman, and then went to Sofitel Altwall Hotel.
When Reinhardt's car drove into the hotel parking lot, the reporter squatting outside was keenly aware that something unusual would happen.
Hamburg is the media capital of Germany. Major media across the country have established their headquarters in Hamburg, with more than 10,000 media-related companies!
It is almost impossible to hide things from happening here.
The traditional media industry has already released news, and it is difficult for the program to suddenly interrupt the news to catch the wind, but the Internet media in the new era has already exploded!
"Hamburg Sports Manager Reinhardt's car drove into the Sofitel Altwall Hotel! Situ Yunbing lives here!"
"The Burger Club may be brewing shocking news!"
"Will Hoffman surprise Hamburg fans?"
The ghost knows how Hoffman and Reinhardt are now.
Reinhardt has just retired, so even if he puts on his shirt and plays, he has no problem, so he is energetic.
The car had been parked in the parking lot for more than a minute, but neither of them got out of the car.
"Isn't this a joke?"
Reinhardt looked at Hoffman with doubts.
The whole world knows the news of Situ Yunbing's resignation from Monaco. There are many speculations about his next stop, but they have no practical basis.
Although Hoffman was over 50, he looked very young. At this time, he frowned and hesitated.
"I don't know if it's an oolong. No one can help me verify if the person who called me is him."
"He called you? Didn't you invite him?"
"My God, I will invite a coach who has just won the Champions League and swept France? Who can give me this courage?"
Reinhardt was at a loss and asked: "Is he willing to be the coach of Hamburg?"
Hoffman nodded and said: "That's what he said on the phone. He asked me if Hamburg is looking for a new coach? I said yes, he said he wanted to apply. When does the Champions League coach have to find a job by himself? "
Reinhardt was even more confused, and said, "Isn't there no rich man to invite him?"
Hoffman casually said: "I originally 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 think about the Premier League giants. It is impossible for Manchester United and Arsenal to change coaches. Chelsea's coach Ancelotti is also the coach of the Champions League, and he won the league title just a year ago. Manchester City, fourth in the Premier League, only changed coach six months ago. Mancini did a good job, at least leading Manchester City into the Champions League next season.
Serie A giants Inter Milan coach Mourinho is leaving, but how could they invite Situ Yunbing? The second place Roma has improved so much, the club must be crazy if it relieves the boss. AC Milan heard that they are talking with Allegri. It is estimated that the young coach Leonardo was scared last season. Needless to say, Real Madrid hired Mourinho. Guardiola was so successful in Barcelona. As for the third and fourth-placed team in La Liga, I think they must be very satisfied to reach the Champions League next season. Anyway, La Liga The champion has nothing to do with them, there is no need to toss.
In our league team, Magath led Schalke 04 to the runner-up and made significant progress, Van Gaal led the team to the championship, Heynckes did a good job in Leverkusen, and Schaff in Werder Breath Mei has been working for so many years, who would invite him?
Among the clubs that publicly invited him, Lyon is the most famous, but he doesn't seem interested. "
Reinha 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 has something to do with us in Monaco. Unknowable things, in short, these are not important. If this is a prank, I will follow the boat and invite him to be the Hamburg coach in person. If he refuses, we will leave. If this is not a prank... "
Hoffman himself couldn't imagine that if everything were true, then this would be the luckiest and most incredible day since he became the Hamburg chairman.
When Hoffman and Reinhardt knocked on the prestigious suite where Situ Yunbing was staying, they saw the scene inside the house with a dumbfounded expression.
The design style of this hotel is minimalist, giving people a modern and avant-garde yet clean and concise comfort, but now the sofa in the living room has been pushed to the corner, and the TV in the closet is playing the video of Hamburg’s last season’s game, and it is placed in front of the closet. There is a big blackboard with the names of some Hamburg players written on it, some have a tick behind them, and some have a cross!
The coffee table was full of notebooks and English-filled A4 paper. Scattered paper was scattered around the coffee table. Situ Yunbing and Alonzo were naked in shorts, and their hair styles were messy and obviously untidy.
After Situ Yunbing stretched out his hand and smiled and signaled the two to enter the house, Hoffman and Reinhardt didn't even know whether to find an open space to stand or sit on the sofa in the corner.
Alonzo hurriedly pushed the sofa to the front of the coffee table, and then swiftly rubbed some useless materials on the coffee table into a ball and threw it into the nearly full trash can, and then went to pour water for the two of them.
Germany is the country with the highest English penetration among European countries, probably above 60%, which means that 6 out of 10 Germans can communicate in English without any problem. This is because both German and English belong to the Germanic language family. In the West Germanic language family, if you switch to Italian or Spanish, there is a generation gap.
In Germany, the higher the level of education, the better the command of English. Basically, English is taught from elementary school.
So Situ Yunbing doesn't need to learn German in such a hurry. Of course, learning German is necessary, but it is not so urgent.
After Alonzo brought water to the two of them, Situ Yunbing asked Hoffman solemnly: "Mr. Chairman, we communicated on the phone yesterday. I want to apply for the position of Hamburg coach. I don’t know what you need to do with me, or what the interview content is?"
Hoffman just drank his saliva and almost squirted it out. He coughed twice and then put down the 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 the Bundesliga championship."
Reinhardt couldn't help but puffed up his chest. I don't know why, anyway, listening to this Chinese marshal's speech is such a boost to morale!
Listen, how domineering!
Take the championship!
No one before Hamburg dared to say that!
Of course, failing to do it is bragging, and doing it is awesome.
Referring to his achievements in Monaco, at least no one dares to question his determination and goals.
Hoffman also felt like he had been given a shot, and immediately said: "Okay, then you are the new coach of Hamburg!"
Situ Yunbing smiled and shook hands with him. Hoffman only felt a little absurd. In such a sacred moment, he actually shook hands with Situ Yunbing, who was not wearing a shirt, and reached a verbal agreement? !
After he got over it, he asked Situ Yunbing in a low voice, "I don't know what your requirements are in terms of annual salary?"
Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "How much do you think the Bundesliga champion coach should give, then write as much in the contract."
