The German Football League Baden-Württemberg will resume on February 4, which also represents the end of the winter break. Wang Ai cannot celebrate the Lantern Festival at home. He returned to Liaoyang after playing in Shanghai for two days.
After having an in-depth chat with my parents about the company's development strategy, I hurriedly said goodbye to my family and boarded a plane to Munich, Bavaria, Germany.
More than ten hours later, the plane entered the port. Wang Ai dragged his suitcase out of the airport. The temperature here was warmer than that in Northeast China. He did not spend the night in Munich and planned to go back to Tübingen directly to get rid of the jet lag.
It was quiet at night in the small town of Tubingen. Wang Ai went to the door of his house and took a look. There seemed to be light in the hall. Leonie might have returned. It was already past one o'clock in the morning. Wang Ai did not disturb Leonie and tiptoed.
I opened the door, closed the door, and went upstairs. I quickly washed myself, fell on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Wang Ai went downstairs and was pleasantly surprised to see that Leonie had already prepared breakfast and seemed to be about to go upstairs to call him. The two greeted each other happily. Wang Ai went upstairs again and took the breakfast from home.
The gift that came was given to Leonie. There is still a big gap between China and Germany in terms of living standards, so I didn’t bring any technological products, but two bags of pure hand-cranked yuanxiao, four sauced pig’s trotters, two kilograms of sauced beef, two
Only roast duck, two roast chickens... in short, they are all edible!
Wang Ai drank white rice porridge, nibbled on salted soybeans, and ignored Leonie, who had a chicken in her left hand and a duck in her right hand. In the past four months, she followed him to eat vegetarian food every morning, even though she knew it was good for her health. This lioness
She is probably very greedy and wants to let her enjoy it.
When Leonie spread out on the chair with a shiny face, indicating that the princess had had enough fun, Wang Ai started to clear the table. After cleaning up, he came back and was surprised to find that Leonie had already washed her face, and she was very well behaved and elegant.
, there is no trace of a fierce woman.
"Okay, Deputy Manager Leonie, how did you do the work I assigned you?" Wang Ai poured two cups of tea and asked.
Speaking of work, Leonie immediately got into the mood, stood up, took the folder and opened it: "The first item, through the investigation by Kugel and Feiffer, I found that during the winter break, Hoffenheim conducted two introductions
Recruitment work was carried out to replace two players who performed poorly in the first half of the season. The new players were substitutes for the Bundesliga second team, but they were younger. The analysis should be that the team owner allocated additional signing funds. The second item
, during this winter break, in accordance with the club’s requirements, four potential signings were found. Here are their detailed information.”
Wang Ai nodded and took the four folders pushed over by Leonie. Inside were the four players' information, photos, age, place of birth, training status, team status, performance in the first half of the season, and Leo
Ni and Kugel's comments.
The first three players are all 28 years old and above. They can still play at high intensity for two or three years. If they stay in good health, they can last for four or five years. They are also professional and semi-professional players who have played in the Bundesliga Second Division.
, currently among the teams in the regional league, either because of mediocre performance, or because they have inconsistent ideas with the head coach, in short, their status is not very stable. I learned that the team that is the half-time champion of the state league is interested in them, so their relative attitude is relatively
positive.
The last player is a 16-year-old young player who is a youth team player of the Hannover 96 club. Hannover 96 is currently in the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga 2. This player's team is at a very low level and is the lowest level in the Hannover youth training system.
The Youth D team is equivalent to the fourth alternate echelon. It can only compete in the community league, which is a league in a certain city in Hannover. It is roughly equivalent to the eleventh and twelfth levels of the German league, which is almost the lowest level.
However, Leonie and Kugel did not speak low of him, saying that this player is calm-minded and rarely makes mistakes. His skills and stability are hidden behind the taciturn surface. The reason why he is playing in such a low-level game
Here, the main reason is that this player is too gentle and does not meet the traditional German requirements for a fierce center back. The head coach believes that a center back like him is not aggressive and will not scare the opponent's forwards. In amateur leagues with rough skills,
, his disadvantage has been greatly magnified.
Since the equally taciturn and even listless Ozil shined in Tübingen, Leoni and Kugel have paid great attention to the performance of this kind of non-German mainstream players when selecting players. Most of them are mediocre, but among them
Occasionally, great people are hidden. So, the information about this young player named Per Mertesacker was handed to Wang Ai.
Per Mertesacker... Wang Ai stared at this thin, gentle face...
"Okay, I want him! You can take care of the other three. If the conditions are not harsh, try to keep them."
Leonie recorded Wang Ai's opinions in her notebook, and then reported: "The third item, the relevant procedures for the club's echelon 'Tübingen 01' football team have been completed, and the stadium rental has been agreed with the city hall. It can be
Started to participate in the Tubingen Community League in the 2001-02 season. With the influence of the excellent performance of our Tubingen first team, the recruitment of young players has been relatively smooth. Currently, 25 people have been recruited from the 30-person quota. At the same time, some players from the first team will be recruited.
Relegated to the reserve team. The relegated players are mainly a few substitutes who performed poorly in the first half and exhausted their potential. There are also players from the University of Tübingen who took the initiative to apply for relegation due to the intense academic pressure in the second semester of their senior year. The current mood of the players
relatively stable."
Wang Ai nodded and said, "Are all the team members back?"
Leonie nodded: "Everyone from the first team except Ozil is here, and everyone from the second team is here. In addition, Allison reported to me yesterday that Hoffenheim's head coach had approached him during the winter break.
, I hope he can go to Hoffenheim to play. Allison refused."
Wang Ai frowned: "Do you think he is simply reminding you of your opponent's actions, or is he asking you for a salary increase in disguise?"
Leonie shrugged: "Maybe both. Anyway, I don't think Allison can leave now. He hasn't grown up enough to care about his student status at the University of Tübingen."
Wang Ai snorted, gritted his teeth and cursed: "The Hoffenheim team is so shameless! I didn't expect the tycoon Hope to be so nasty! If you can't win the game, you wave your check to win over the opponent's players! Despicable! Shameless! This is unscrupulous!"
This goes against the spirit of fair play in football! So what did we do?”
"We went to Hoffenheim first! Old Kugel personally found about four or five of their main players. It can be seen that they are shaken badly. After all, we are the half-time champions!"
"Okay, you have to be despicable and unscrupulous when dealing with your opponents." Wang Ai's eyes narrowed with satisfaction.
Leonie rolled her eyes covertly, and then reported: "There should be no problem with other players. Hoffenheim should also know that most of our players are Tubingen college students. It will be difficult for us to retain them after they graduate, but
It’s hard to snatch players away even if they haven’t graduated. As for Favre and others, their value is not great. They also know that the best result is to have a team with a bright future to take them. When they retire, the club still needs a group of middle-level players.
It's for the management. However, I want to remind you to pay attention to Ozil's movements."
"What's wrong?"
"During the winter break, when I contacted him, he actually shied away and said that he was invited by a foreign football association to train with a foreign national team so he couldn't meet. Huh! Even his home country, Turkey, couldn't do it. He couldn't do any better.
Well, it’s just our fourth-level league, not enough to attract the attention of any national team. So, I doubt..."
"Ahem!" Wang Ai grinned in embarrassment, how to explain to this little lion who was serious and responsible to the point of becoming suspicious.
