"Of course I'm in Hamburg, Stork, I'm in the box opposite you in the stands. Today's game will be broadcast live on Burkina Faso's national TV station. I'm a special guest, but I don't need to commentate on the whole process...
..." Spangwitz said with a smile.
Roger stood up and walked to the glass of the VIP box and looked across. It was too far away and he could vaguely see the other side, but it was really hard to see which box Spangwitz was in.
"Buki... Nafaso? Oh, well, it seems you have discovered a new gold mine there..." Rogge muttered and complained: "But if possible, I don't want to stay in the box.
, I would rather watch the game with the fans in the stands..."
Rogge's complaint is not entirely for show. Although there are many free food and wine in the box, and you can watch the ball in a place with a suitable temperature without being disturbed by cold, hot, rain, and snow, the railings and glass of the box will make the stadium look better.
The atmosphere is completely blocked outside. In the stands, you can interact with the people next to you.
Fans talk loudly about everything on the field. Fans who support a certain team can high-five and celebrate with the surrounding fans after the team scores a goal, but in the box, all this is almost impossible. So
, the box is more like a place where members of the inner circle of the football world show their identity and status.
Rogge is a true fan, and his family is also a loyal supporter of Anderlecht. This is different from Manchester City's Arab consortium and Chelsea's Abramovich. If compared, Rogge is more like AC Milan's
Berlusconi or the Moratti family of Inter Milan. The difference is that the Moratti family lost control of Inter Milan from the 1970s to the 1990s, while the Rogge family’s ownership of Anderlecht has never
In the half century after World War II, there was nothing left to lose!
"Haha, the king should still be in the palace, and let the soldiers do the charging work. Of course, celebrating with his subjects occasionally is what the king loves to do, but..." Spangwitz said with a smile.
If a club is also a country and a team is an army, then the players are undoubtedly soldiers, the coach is the general, and the club owner is the king of the kingdom. The fans are naturally the subjects that Spanwitz said.
Spanwitz's meaning is very obvious. Today is definitely not the right time for King Rogge to "have fun with the people"...
"Okay Daniel, let's not talk so much. Let's watch the game first. I will return to Brussels at noon tomorrow. I think I should be able to see you on the plane, right." Rogge stopped beating around the bush with this old guy.
Spangwitz asked: "Haha, the king gave an order, how dare I disobey it, but... Stock, I heard Hoffman said that this time you came to Hamburg, you didn't talk to him about that matter?"
Rogge said: "I won't talk to him about Lukaku. As for the Chinese player, I thought it would be better to talk openly with you, an old fox. As for Hoffman, he doesn't wear glasses.
Or something, he doesn’t know... Hey... Okay, let’s watch the football game first, I didn’t even see how the goal was scored just now..."
The two of them made a phone call when the game was almost 80 minutes old. They chatted for about seven or eight minutes. They originally thought that the game would end with a score of 2:2. Unexpectedly, Hamburg scored another goal in the 87th minute.

It was Pete who scored again! He scored three goals in a row to complete a hat trick. After scoring, Pete made several body flips in a row. He didn't look like he was rushing to fill the whole field. Then he ran to the corner flag and faced
The audience twisted their waists and swayed their hips in African dance movements.
When Spanwitz was closing the line, he heard the Burkina Faso national TV commentator in the VIP room shouting at the top of his lungs. Indeed, for the Republic of Burkina Faso, today is a day for their country’s fans.
say.
The Republic of Burkina Faso was formed from French West Africa in 1960. It was not really called "Burkina Faso" until 1984. The local language means "country of dignity".
However, in the past 40 years, this country has had five military coups. The current president, Les Compaoré, came to power in the last military coup in 1987. At that time, he was the previous Minister of State in charge of justice in the presidential palace. Until now,
He has been in power for 10 years and has been in power for 23 years. This is also a period of relatively stable political situation in Burkina Faso.
The reason why the political situation is relatively stable is because of Burkina Faso's important geographical location and because Les Compaoré is a trusted ally of the United States. He is located in a beautiful place in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso [**
*] military bases are mutually dependent on the U.S. military bases in Africa such as Mali and Mauritania. Of course, these military bases are under the command of the U.S. Africa Command. As mentioned earlier, the office location of the Africa Command is in Stuttgart, Germany...
…
Africa was originally the back garden of European powers. Burkina Faso formerly belonged to "French West Africa". This former "sovereign country" also had a profound influence on Burkina Faso. The European Union, dominated by France and Germany, even
Apart from the United States, Burkina Faso is an important economic partner, so Burkina Faso also tries its best to maintain friendship with France and Germany.
The football industry has gradually become an important means of image promotion, diplomacy and export-earning foreign exchange industry for Burkina Faso. Most of these were brought to this country by Spanwitz. Of course, Spanwitz mostly used this
The current president, Les Compaoré, used Spankwitz's "gold rush" to develop his country's land for image and diplomatic promotion. This is also a kind of cooperation in which both sides get what they need.
Therefore, football is actually not that simple. It is not only a "war", but is also closely related to economics, politics and diplomacy. It carries many, many things.

Therefore, those with different interests and hobbies from different angles, those with complex thinking and who like in-depth exploration can derive many major events from a game of football, while those who are purely interested in competitive sports can also get happiness by enjoying a wonderful game.
Everyone gets what they need, just like the Spankwitz Agency and the President of Burkina Faso can each get what they need, Chen Zhuo who instigates the attack, Berg who assists and Peter who scores the goal, each of them also reaps their own happiness.
.
This goal in the 87th minute was the "Lucky Pete version" of Hamburg's corner kick tactics.
The original tactic of the drill was to use the arc and strength of Chen Zhuo's serve, the forward and midfielder involved in the movement, the left back Jansen countered offside at the far end and then made a cross, and the center back Schultz stepped in from the backcourt and hit the goal.
There have been gains in previous games.
This time, it was also a corner kick on the right side of the Hamburg team. The forward and the attacking midfielder were involved in the movement. The 19-year-old Czech teenager Spanek from the far end was the left midfielder who crossed the ball. The one who inserted the goal in the middle was the reserve team player.
Best, these two young players were not assigned special personnel to guard by the opponent.
Best was unlucky. Anderlecht goalkeeper Proto had surrendered, but the ball was blocked by the crossbar and bounced into the penalty area again.
Berg, who was standing near the small penalty area line, reacted quickly and successfully grabbed the point in front of the opponent's two central defenders, and made an Ibrahimovic-style "scorpion tail swing" shooting action... By mistake, the crossbar hit the target again.
Rejected Berg's goal!
Then... this ball was not so much that Peter grabbed the ball, but it was Berg's shot that hit the crossbar and bounced off just right on Peter's head... and Peter was still dragged by the Serbian midfielder who was guarding him.
The one who hit the ball when he fell happened to make a wonderful "diving dive to the top"...
There are four big men above 1.89 meters in Anderlecht's penalty area, two central defenders, a left back, and forward Lukaku. There are even more players above 1.80 meters. Among such a group of tall men
, Pietroipa, who is 1.76 meters tall, scored with a header. He is really a great character and so lucky...

The fans of the Hamburg team cheered thunderously. For them, they were completely relaxed at this time. They did not need to think about the complicated things behind football. They only needed to enjoy the wonderful confrontation and offense and defense of the players on the field.
At this time, the victory or defeat will no longer affect the Hamburg team's advancement to the top 8 of the Europa League. If the opponent really scores five or six goals in the last three to five minutes... then it is simply impossible!
Taking a step back, if Anderlecht suddenly broke out and really scored like that, it would be like the match where AC Milan was overturned by Liverpool in the European Champions Cup final on May 25, 2005, first half 3:
AC Milan, which was leading 0, was equalized by Liverpool in 6 minutes of the second half, and finally lost the championship on a penalty kick. If there is such a miracle, then everyone will admit it!
After the goal, Chen Zhuo signaled a substitution, replacing Peter, who had scored a hat trick, and replaced him with...
"Huh?" Rogge petrified instantly after seeing the substitution card, and the entire audience was also shocked.
