Early in the morning, Hoffman, the chairman of the Hamburg club, met Reinhardt, the club manager who also wore a black circle.Seeing the yawning Reinhardt, Hoffman asked, "Did that bastard Daniel call you at night?"

Reinhardt said: "This old guy grabbed me and talked for more than half an hour."

Hoffman said: "This old guy has been talking to me for a long time. It's the first time in so many years. It's okay. I'll tell you about this again. You call Moniz and Roldov, Call me when you arrive, and go to your office! Let's talk about this Chinese, what's his name..."

"Chen..." Reinhardt said: "The Chinese name is Chen, and Daniel said he used the English name when he signed up. It's called Patton, George Patton's Patton."

Hoffman shook his head and said, "Oh, yes, George Patton, the George Patton who conquered Europe."

The 10-year Hamburg team is in troubled times, and it has been a year of ups and downs. In May 09, the Dutch coach Jol announced his resignation without warning, which made the senior management flustered. In the end, Hoffman defied all opinions and the appointment just stopped. As the head coach of Hamburg, Leverkusen's declining coach Labbadia was finally satisfied with the results of last season. The Hamburg team barely entered the Europa League as the top six.

Then in the summer, due to differences in business ideas, the club manager Beiersdorf and Hoffman parted ways. In the 09-10 season, they invested a "huge sum" of 3000 million euros! 3000 million euros is not a big deal for a wealthy club, but it is already a huge investment for a mid-range club like Hamburg. In such a season with such a huge investment, the club's general manager was retired by the Hamburg team's central defender Reinhardt. serve.

The German club system with a "company system + membership system" structure is completely different from the Italian "family system", but it is different from England's pure "corporate system" that gives so much power to the head coach. The two important candidates were both appointed by Hoffman himself, and both were controversial candidates, which has caused Hoffman to be questioned in the general meeting of shareholders and the board of supervisors.

It is not difficult to see that in the current Hamburg club, Hoffman has taken control of the situation, and the club manager Reinhardt is just his pawn and megaphone.

The two names mentioned by Hoffman just now, Moniz is the club technical director of the Hamburg team and also serves as an assistant coach. Obviously, he wanted to talk to them about Chen Zhuo, the "Chinese Patton" strongly recommended by that old Daniel Spankwitz.

"You have read this data, let me know what you think." Hoffman asked.

The data is provided by Spinwitz Company. The analysis of the Hamburg team's game data over the past five years, one of which was circled by Spanwitz Company, is that in the five years, the performance of the Hamburg team in the first half of the season was better than In the second half of the season, and in the average of each game in each season, the Hamburg team's performance in the first half is better than that in the second half!

For example, in the first four seasons, the Hamburg team ranked in the top eight, at a mid-range level, but if you only look at the results of the first half of the season, the Hamburg team is in the top four!This season is also the same. When the teams speeded up in the middle of the season, Hamburg suddenly encountered a downturn with two draws, five losses and seven rounds. Although it finally ushered in the winter break with two victories, this problem has already It deserves enough attention.

The same is true for the analysis of the first half. If the game only played 45 minutes, in the first 4 seasons, the rankings of the first half were listed, and the Hamburg team was in the top three. With points, the Hamburg team ranks first!

Needless to say?The data is there, clearly showing the shortcomings of the Hamburg team, lack of stamina!

If the stamina of a game is insufficient, the stamina of a season is also insufficient!For 4 and a half consecutive seasons, it happened to be the period when Hoffman served as the chairman of the Hamburg club.

It has to be said that the powerful data analysis and focus of the Spannowitz company are the key factors that make Hoffman's heart beat, and the Spannowitz company is also well aware that they invested 3000 million euros at the beginning of the season and transferred to the team during the winter break. There is not much financial resources and action in the club market, so they sent a free transfer player.

Everything is so suitable, suitable people can not refuse!

According to the recommendation information of Spinwitz Company, this Chinese player named Chen Zhuo is the best candidate to make up for the Hamburg team's "lack of stamina". They even predicted that after March this year, the Hamburg team may appear once. The decline in performance is greater than in previous seasons. The wave of injuries caused by insufficient rotation will be one reason. The other reason is that the head coach Labbadia, he is young and lacks rich experience. Lack of countermeasures.

Hoffman agrees with these two points, and Reinhardt, the technical director Moniz and the reserve team coach Cardoso, who were born as players, also agreed after reading the data.

Among the top management, only the arrogant head coach Labbadia disagrees. Of course, he only disagrees with the second point. He thinks he has no problems, but in some positions, the club has not made more and better reserves according to his requirements. For him to choose, he thinks his helplessness is that a clever woman can't cook without rice.

Of course, although Spanwitz sent Chinese players, he was not Lei Feng either.The conditions of Spinwitz's company are free status transfer, a short contract of one and a half years, which expires at the end of the 11 season.

In terms of terms, the first season, the half-season salary totals 10 euros, and the monthly salary is 2 euros, plus bonuses. After being officially selected into the first team, the trial period is up to three months. During the trial training period, the weekly salary is 0 euros, which is the minimum monthly salary of the reserve team.

On this point, everyone has no objection, free transfer does not take up costs, and the weekly salary of 0 euros during the trial training period is not for cheating money, and playing low-level leagues in the reserve team is not gold-plated.If the analysis of Spinwitz is true, the Chinese can make up for the shortcoming of "lack of stamina", then the monthly salary of 2 euros, even if it is not the lowest, is in the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga. !

The biggest price is that this Chinese will take up the quota of a non-EU player, that's all!

The second point in the terms, if the team does not allow transfers and requires contract renewal in the second season, the salary should be at least 0 euros.Everyone thinks this is okay, if you don't want to pay 0 euros, then allow him to transfer!The agent is to help the players negotiate salary. If they play well, maybe the agent will have to negotiate more!

If the transfer of a player ends in the first season, Spinwitz and the club will distribute the player's transfer fee 40% to 60%, and in the second season to [-]% to [-]%, Spinwitz [-]% and Hamburg Club [-]%. Hamburger club hope to renew...

Hoffman basically didn't want to read the following content. His meaning was very simple, just sign the contract according to this content, and then throw this player in the reserve team to adapt to the German league. Let Cardoso, Moniz, including Leon Inhart needs to observe and guide more to see if this player has the ability of the "savior" that Spankowitz said!

It is expected that the player will be officially in place in mid-February, and he can adapt to the reserve team for two weeks before the end of the month. After that, he will be arranged to participate in the training and confrontation of the first team every week. Moniz will make a special data analysis report for this player. In another month, which is the "explosion period" of the performance decline in March that Spinwitz said, if the Chinese can really top it at that time, it will definitely not be good for the Hamburg team. A value of 2 euros!

As for contract renewal, Hoffman didn't even think about it. Why can't the Germans do what the Chinese can do?Invite a "firefighter" with a cheap salary of 10 euros and zero transfer fee, and then sell it at a good price and get 50% of the transfer fee. For the Hamburg club, this decision cannot be made by the shareholders meeting and the supervisory board. Any objections please!

(Fives)

Basically, Hoffman was not looking for them to discuss, but to assign tasks.

However, in the eyes of Carasso and Moniz, this matter sounds like the least outrageous one of the many things Hoffman has done.

It's just that the Chinese who claim to be able to make up for the "lack of stamina" of the Hamburg team, the professional Carasso, Moniz and the club manager Reinhardt all have a strong interest.

Of course, there is another most important reason, which allows them to ignore whether this Chinese person really has that kind of strength.

Because the Chinese player Spinwitz manipulated is just a "additional head", the real "pie" is the king of the small penalty area who was transferred from Real Madrid through his manipulation, Ruud van Nistelrooy!And it's a free transfer, so you don't need to pay one euro or US dollars.

Although he is already 34 years old, his basic physical fitness and awareness are still there. Coupled with Ruud Ruud's influence in the world, there must be advantages and no disadvantages for Hamburg. Free transfer is a good deal!

So, with Ruud van Nistelrooy as a main meal, what does it matter if the Chinese player who serves as the head has the strength that Spannowitz said?

It's just that the old guy Spanwitz is very strange. Between "dinner" and "additional head", between Ruud van Nistelrooy and that Chinese player, he pays more attention to the latter!

If the Chinese player is [-]** years old and has great talent and potential, he is like the three Korean boys in the Hamburg reserve team, especially the only player named Sun Hanmin, whether he keeps it for himself or pays a high price. Great deal on sale.

But the Chinese player on the data is already) years old!If it wasn't for the many years of acquaintance and cooperation with Spanwitz, if it wasn't for the premise of Van Nistelrooy's free transfer, Hoffman would definitely think that this old man is a lunatic!

Probably because the pockets of the whole world have shrunk after the financial turmoil, only the Chinese are getting richer and richer. Now a large number of teams are buying Chinese players to attract the attention of the Chinese. From a commercial point of view, this is not a problem. bad thing.

For Hoffman, at least, he has nothing to lose. ;
