Two Hundred and Sixty-Eight Pranks?

In the past six Bundesliga seasons, Hamburg's highest ranking is third in the Bundesliga, and it has participated in the European Champions Cup, but it was dismal out of the group stage. The lowest ranking is eighth, and the average overall score is in the Bundesliga. Generally speaking, the level is not bad, which is why Hamburg's investment is higher than the average level of the Bundesliga transfer market before each season, so fans are full of expectations, 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 league the previous season to seventh in the league. Maybe it seems 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 2009 season , Hamburg is only 8 points away from 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 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 finally resigned in anger. , because Hoffman fired Labadia, who he supported.

Before Hamburg is looking for a new coach, the team manager is also the club that needs to quickly arrange a new position. Unlike the structure of other European clubs, German clubs cannot be privately held due to express regulations. Privately held shares are up to 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 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 supervisory board composed of members and fans. In general, German clubs have brought the rigor of the Germans to the fullest.

Hoffman's favorites, Summer and Bierhoff, both rejected his invitations. Anyone with a little reputation in Germany seems to be reluctant to work under Hoffmann for fear of being deprived of their autonomy.

At the end of May, Hoffman accepted the appointment of former player Bastian Reinhardt, who had no previous management experience, as sports manager.

Of course, Hamburg fans are not satisfied with this, but perhaps they are speechless for Hoffman. They can only hope that the board of directors must not renew the contract for Hoffman next summer. As long as the board of directors votes against the renewal, then next summer Hoffman Mann will leave the chairmanship.

In the early morning of June 4th, Reinhardt, who just took office, was conscientious. He went to work at the club early in the morning, renewing players' contracts, negotiating in the transfer market, no matter who the new coach is and when he will come, these Work cannot stand still.

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 the Sofitel Alte Wall Hotel.

When Reinhardt's car pulled into the hotel parking lot, reporters squatting outside had been acutely aware that something unusual was about to happen.

Hamburg is the media capital of Germany.

Major national media have set up headquarters in Hamburg, and there are more than 10,000 media-related companies!

It's almost impossible for anything to happen here.

The traditional media industry has released news, and it is difficult for programs to suddenly insert news that catches the wind, but the Internet media in the new era has already fried the pot!

"Hamburg Sports Manager Reinhardt's car drove into the Sofitel Alte Wall! Situ Yunbing lives here!"

"The Burger Club may be making breaking news!"

"Will Hoffman surprise Hamburg fans?"

The ghost knows how Hoffman and Reinhardt are feeling now.

Reinhardt just retired not long ago, even if he puts on a jersey and plays again, it is not 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 off.

"It's 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 there is no actual basis.

Although Hoffman is over 50 years old, he looks very young, and he frowns a little hesitantly at this time.

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

"He called you? Didn't you invite him?"

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

Reinhardt was immediately dazed and asked, "Is he the one who actively wanted to be 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, he said he wanted to apply. When will the Champions League coach look for a job himself? "

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

Hoffman casually said: "I originally thought so too, but after going back and doing some homework, I found out that there may be no giants to invite him, the Premier League giants don't have to think about it, Manchester United and Arsenal can't change coaches, Chelsea's coach Ancelotti is also the coach of the Champions League, and he won the league just last year. Manchester City, the fourth-ranked player in the Premier League, only changed their coach six months 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 second-placed Roma has improved so much. It would be crazy if the club dismissed the coach. AC Milan heard that they were talking with Allegri. It is estimated that they were afraid of Leonardo last season. Needless to say, Real Madrid hired Mourinho, and Guardiola was so successful in Barcelona. As for the third and fourth teams in La Liga, I think they must be very satisfied to reach the Champions League next season. Anyway, La Liga Champions have nothing to do with them, there is no need to toss.

Among the teams in our league, Magath led Schalke 04 to the runner-up, and Van Gaal led his team to the championship, Heynckes did a good job in Leverkusen, and Schaff was in Werder Breeze. 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 to be interested. "

Reinhardt nodded and sighed, "Then we're lucky!"

Hoffman pushed the door and got out of the car, and when he was walking towards 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 it is a prank, I will go with the flow and invite him to be Hamburg coach in person, he refuses, we will leave, if it is not a prank... "

Hoffman himself could not imagine that if all was true, it would be the luckiest and most incredible day he has ever had as chairman of Hamburg.

When Hoffman and Reinhardt knocked on the noble suite where Situ Yunbing was staying, the two of them were completely dumbfounded when they saw the scene inside the house.

The design style of this hotel is minimalist, giving people a modern and avant-garde but clean and simple comfort, but now the sofa in the living room is pushed to the corner, and the TV in the closet is playing last season of Hamburg. A large blackboard with the names of some of the burger players written on it, some with a tick and some with a cross!

The coffee table was filled with notebooks and A4 paper filled with English, and there was waste paper scattered around the coffee table, while Situ Yunbing and Alonzo were only wearing shorts and topless, with messy hairstyles that were obviously not cleaned up.

After Situ Yunbing stretched out his hand and asked the two of them to enter the room with a smile, Hoffman and Reinhardt didn't even know whether to stand in an open space or sit on the sofa in the corner.

Alonzo hurriedly pushed the sofa to the front of the coffee table, then quickly crumpled some useless materials on the coffee table into a ball and threw them 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 popularity among European countries, which is about 60% or more, which means that 6 out of 10 Germans can communicate in English. This is because both German and English belong to the Germanic branch. The West Germanic language family, in French, Italian, Spanish, then there is a certain generation gap.

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

So Situ Yunbing doesn't have to rush to learn German. Of course, learning German is necessary, but it doesn't need to be so urgent.

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

Hoffman just took a sip of water and nearly spit it out. He coughed twice, 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 straighten his chest. I don't know why, but listening to the Chinese young marshal's speech was just such a boost to morale!

Listen, how arrogant!

Take the championship!

No coach before Hamburg dared to say that!

Of course, if you can't do it, it's bragging, but if you do it, it's bragging.

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

Hoffman also felt like someone had been given a shot of cardiotonic, 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. At such a sacred moment, he actually reached a verbal agreement with the shirtless Situ Yunbing shaking hands? !

After regaining his senses, he whispered to Situ Yunbing, "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 give, then write how much in the contract."
