Chapter 102 Qianjin City Bone, Red Devils Manchester United

Edward had seen the most powerful marketing expert in his previous life, so he must be the owner of Miscellaneous Foods, Mr. Lei. Mr. Lei has many tricks, and he has invested huge tens of thousands in public relations fees, so that their small news will be blown into big news, and hundreds of thousands can be spent. Tens of millions of effects.

Edward is naturally not a marketing expert, but he is rich.

There has never been a team owner who will spend nearly [-] million euros to reward the first team at one time, let alone because of the final of a friendly match.This incident will definitely cause an uproar in the world of football. Through the word of mouth of the fans and players, the image of Berlin Union's wealth and wealth will become more popular. Many players in Manchester City in the previous life were reluctant to go at the beginning because of their outbreak. The household image is too obvious.

But Edward has no such worries at all. He signs world-class players like Nesta to improve the team's image. Leron, a football saint, will make the image of Union Berlin more plump. Edward has been spending a lot of advertising money outside, mainly promoting the rebellious spirit of Union Berlin and their actions during the East German period, which fully shows that Union Berlin is A team with a historical background and a sense of mission will completely detonate public opinion when the movie is released.

If Union Berlin can seize the opportunity at that time, they will not be able to become one of the powerhouses in European football in one fell swoop.As for becoming a wealthy family, it is impossible. A wealthy family has always been piled up with achievements. Except for Arsenal, he really has never seen a wealthy family without a Champions League champion.

Since he didn't have to worry about being labeled as a nouveau riche, Edward didn't have any worries about his marketing this time.

He hopes that every player knows that Union Berlin is their best choice no matter in terms of economy or honor!

But not everyone understands his thoughts, because of this matter, even the team coach Mourinho is quite critical, not because Edward often gives bonuses to players, but this time is too much.

How can there be a friendly match final that will award nearly 1000 million euros to the first team.

Seeing Mourinho's reaction in the same way, Edward is more confident that the plan will be successful. In the era when the Internet is not popular, the topic will not change so quickly. It is totally worthwhile to throw out 1000 million euros for marketing this time.

Moreover, the 1000 million euros were not given to the media, but actually rewarded to the players and staff of the first team.

He can poach Manchester United, and others can naturally poach Union Berlin, but when they poach someone, they must think about what kind of price they want to pay.The staff of Union Berlin will also think about this matter. They have good benefits and benefits in Union Berlin, and they may not be treated so well in another place.Edward doesn't care whether his actions will promote the talent bubble in European football. Anyway, the starting salary he pays, it's best that all teams can't afford to hire powerful staff, and Union Berlin will dominate by then.

But this kind of thing is just thinking about it. After all, it would be difficult to promote this matter without a group of clubs that spend as much as Union Berlin.It is true that powerful staff are worth a lot, and their salary requirements are also high, but no one except Union Berlin will give them that kind of price, so there will be no bubble if there is a price but no market.

Sure enough, this incident was widely reported by the European media.

"Bild" is even full of articles. In their report, they said bitterly: "Many people work for several years without eating or drinking and may only be able to afford a sports car. The nouveau riche, who promised them a sports car if they won Manchester United, even the first-team staff, is a big joke. Maybe he thinks there is no way for Union Berlin to win Manchester United.”

The wages in Germany are not low, but even a cheap sports car costs nearly 10 euros, which really requires many people to work for several years without eating or drinking.But this kind of thing is originally your wish, the money belongs to Edward, and he can spend it as he wants. Although the money comes from the team's foundation, it still belongs to him in the final analysis. With the current development of Union Berlin, He can completely unlock the entire inheritance within 15 years. Although he spends a lot, he earns more. It is always easy for rich people to make money. Before communicating with those trustee managers, he found that the Hoffman Group He even holds a lot of stocks in companies such as Apple, and now Edward just holding those stocks is enough for him to live a lifetime.

Rich people will only get richer, this is an eternal truth.Not to mention throwing out 1000 million euros to reward players, even if there is something happy, he doesn't care about spending 1000 million to celebrate. To use a Chinese saying, money is hard to buy and I am happy.

However, "Bild" is indeed right. It is true that Union Berlin may lose to Manchester United. It is impossible for the runner-up to also be rewarded. There is no No.2 in football, only winners and losers.

If it is really because of rewards that the morale of the first team is overwhelming and they win Manchester United, then the image of Union Berlin will be improved again. In order to cope with the challenges brought by Leverkusen, the players did not put their energy into the German Cup at all. They are obviously the main lineup, but they are talking nonsense with their eyes open. If they don't care, how about letting the substitutes play?The most important thing is that there are still people who believe this nonsense explanation.

Maybe many people know that Union Berlin is very strong, but they don't want to admit this fact.But starting this summer, there is nothing they can do if they don't admit it. Union Berlin has been promoted to the top league, bought top players, and there is also a European war. As long as they perform well in various competitions, the strength of Union Berlin is definitely not theirs. It can be denied in a few words.

--------

Before the final, Edward and Mourinho met Sir Alex Ferguson together.

Sir Alex Ferguson was in a good mood, and gave Edward a hug when they met: "Michael is really a good player. With him joining, this season's Premier League is still ours!"

"Really, that's really good, congratulations Sir Alex Ferguson, I wish you win the Premier League in advance." Edward blinked narrowly and said narrowly, then turned his head and remembered Mourinho: "By the way, this is us Jose Mourinho, your manager, has always been a big fan of yours."

Edward knows how narrow-minded Mourinho is, and he forgot to introduce him just now to make up for it.

But Mourinho didn't seem to care, he sat down with a smile and greeted Ferguson: "Hello, I always hope that one day I can learn something from you in the game."

"Ha ha!"

The Manchester United coach smiled and nodded to Mourinho and said: "You coaches are really cunning. You obviously want to beat us, but you say you want to learn from me. If you really want to learn from me, come to Manchester United and be my assistant. Coach, I retire in a few years and you take over the team."

Edward was silent on the side, waiting to see Mourinho's joke.If Sir Alex Ferguson had invited him before he became the head coach of Union Berlin, he might have been tempted. After all, Manchester United's assistant coach is also a highly sought-after position, and everyone who goes out can become a first-team coach.

But he is now a first-team coach, and he is a promising team like Union Berlin. Even if he goes to Manchester United, it is meaningless. Mourinho is full of confidence in himself. He thinks that in a few years, maybe Manchester United Probably not Union Berlin's opponents.

Of course he doesn't think that way now, he thinks there is still a gap between Union Berlin and Manchester United.This gap is mainly due to the background. The team does not have long-term players, and in terms of team building, Union Berlin is only a half-finished product.

The reason why it was smooth sailing was that Union Berlin faced no real challenges.

Even in Bayern Munich last season, their players relied more on their bodies than their skills. German football players are generally not strong in skills and poor in athletic ability, so they are not enough for Berlin Union, but Manchester United has one. A mature off-the-ball running system, they are always running, and Manchester United players will appear in the best position to receive the ball. In this regard, Union Berlin has no way to compare with Manchester United. Now Union Berlin players are given a high The degree of freedom, under the maintenance of tactics, relies more on personal ability and small-scale cooperation, and they have not been fully kneaded into a whole.

At the dinner table, Mourinho asked for advice on many problems he encountered while coaching. Sir Alex Ferguson is worthy of being a veteran coach. Almost any question is not a problem for him. Just think about it and you can give the answer. The most important thing What's more, what he said is relatively simple and easy to understand, even Edward, a layman, has benefited a lot.

The meeting went well this time, and the only thing Edward was dissatisfied with was that he was carried back again.

--------

"Jose bastard!"

When he got up, Edward shouted feebly. Mourinho was really narrow-minded, thinking that he didn't help introduce him immediately, and wrote him a note. With Sir Alex Ferguson present, Edward couldn't refuse. Naturally, he drank too much again.

It seems that Mourinho is the mastermind every time he is drunk, which makes Edward make up his mind not to meet Mourinho at the dinner table. I feel that the way of being persuaded to drink, if he does not become the head coach, he can have a good development in China. This kind of person is very suitable for the wine culture.

Although Edward's head hurts, he still struggles to get out of bed. Today is the last match day of the Liberty Berlin Cup. In the morning, there will be the third and fourth place finals between Schalke 04 and Newcastle, and in the afternoon, it will be the champions of Manchester United and Union Berlin. dispute.

The third and fourth place finals were a close match. Originally, Newcastle's strength must be higher than that of Schalke 04, but they have just been bloodbathed by Union Berlin. Now the team's atmosphere is not very good. This situation can also be regarded as Schalke. A chance for gram 04.

Originally, Stevens wasn't even planning to compete for the ranking. Winning Dortmund this time is already a big deal, but now that Newcastle is half-dead, he will definitely not give up the third place. There are bonuses, at least you can buy a good substitute if you get the bonus.At this time, German players are so cheap, and only those first-class players can sell for a high price.

In order to strengthen the team, the meritorious coach also tried his best.

After the opening, Schalke 04 pushed out to play. They wanted to take advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold to quickly rewrite the score, but the old coach Robson was waiting for this game to turn around. How could he be given a chance? Instead, in the 7th minute, Newcastle scored a goal through a counterattack, Dyer made a pass from the wing, and Shearer scored a header in front of the goal and broke the net. Simple routine, but very practical.

At this time, Schalke 04 didn't want to lose and could only press out to play, but Newcastle scored another goal through a counterattack in the second half, and finally won the third and fourth finals 2:0.

In fact, not many people pay attention to the score between them, the collision between Union Berlin and Manchester United is the highlight.

Although in the interview before the game, Sir Alex Ferguson said that the relationship between him, Edward and Mourinho was very harmonious, but he did not have any reservations on the squad for the game.

The goalkeeper is the French butter player Barthez. This old man is very amazing. He is a bit like the future Sanchez. He is a rookie in the club. He makes various low-level mistakes. He is super amazing when he returns to the national team.

The right back is the versatile O'Shea, a player who can play from the back line to the midfielder.

The two central defenders are Rio Ferdinand and Sylvester, and the left back is Philip Neville, who Edward wanted to bring to Union Berlin before.

It was only then that Edward remembered that there were two former Manchester United players, Evra and Vidic, in the Union Berlin. No wonder they felt that Manchester United's lineup was a bit awkward.

The two central midfielders are Essien and Scholes who just moved to Manchester United. Kenny Butt was finally abandoned. As for the two wings, David Beckham and Giggs are the golden partners without any dispute .

However, the starting striker with Ruud van Nistelrooy turned out to be Wannian's substitute Solskjaer. This Manchester United star returned to Manchester United to coach in his previous life. His reputation as a player is getting worse day by day. Maybe he will become a Manchester United fan someday. The thorn in the side, so even if you coach, don't go back to your old club easily.

In order to deal with this game, Mourinho also did his best.

When he met Manchester United, he was like going to Dirk to strengthen his defensive ability on the side. However, Dirk was still injured and could not play at all, and Robben had already got enough rest. This kind of key game hides Robben, maybe something will happen later.

There is no doubt about the position of the goalkeeper. Cech's position is unmovable. He is the pinnacle of Union Berlin. The Czech goalkeeper's excellent goal-line skills and reaction speed are the biggest guarantee for Union Berlin.

On the back line, Alves appeared at the right back position. This Brazilian full-back's outstanding offensive and defensive performance has been recognized by many people. He is even the most sought-after player this summer besides Ronaldinho. The team has already discovered the value of Alves, but Edward and Mourinho will not let this full-back go. The right-sided corridor formed by him and Robben is the best right-sided combination in world football, none of them .

On the back line, Nesta and Materazzi were chosen by Mourinho today. The guard positions are relatively experienced. Both Nesta and Materazzi have played for many years in Serie A, and they have also been selected for the national team. After the World Cup, in such an important game, this kind of experienced central defender combination is more trustworthy.

Left back Evra has no suspense.

Harvey Alonso is now Union Berlin's offensive and defensive hub, the team's metronome, and he will definitely occupy the position of a main midfielder.

As for the other defensive midfielder, Cambiasso appeared in the starting position today, and De Jong was right. In this kind of key game, Mourinho trusts Cambiasso even more.

The two wingers are Ronaldinho and Robben. There is no doubt that Sneijder appears in the middle of the midfield. Even if Juan Belleron is not injured, Sneijder is Mourinho's first choice , This pair of mentors and apprentices seems to have such a fate, Mourinho likes the player Sneijder very much.

The starting striker is David Villa.

It has always been no secret that Mourinho is more optimistic about Villa, but this time he really has his reasons.Van Persie's left foot is right on Ferdinand, while Villa's right foot is his dominant foot, so there is no such problem.

After the start of the game, the two sides entered the trial stage.

There is no animosity between the two sides, and there are exchanges between high-level officials. Naturally, there is no need to start with a blow.

That kind of high-tempo state at the beginning is uncomfortable for the players themselves. Unless there is some unresolvable enmity between the two sides, few players are willing to enter such a fast-paced state immediately after the opening.

After all, the human body also develops step by step. Even if there is a pre-match warm-up, they still need to make their bodies as familiar as possible with the venue, the weather, and today's opponents in the opening stage.

Manchester United's passing speed is not fast, but it is very stable.And every time they pass the ball, their players will always run to the right position to receive the ball. Although the Union Berlin players are still pressing, it does not cause too much trouble for Manchester United.

Edward didn't have too many mood swings in the box. If Union Berlin can rub against Manchester United now, that would be the biggest insult to football.No matter how talented these kids are and how many powerful players they have bought, Union Berlin does not have a mature tactical system now. It is nonsense that they can succeed only with money.

Manchester City and Paris in the previous life also came step by step. What makes Berlin Union stronger than them is that at the same time, Berlin Union replaced the entire first team. If they were in the Bundesliga, they would definitely not be able to play. B, that gives them break-in time.

Even though there were some stumbles in the opening stage, they could always rely on the superior personal ability of the players to save the day.

The most important thing is that these players are too talented. Manchester City may buy two very good players a year, and the rest of Stones and his ilk are bastards, but Union Berlin has more than 20 players in one go , each of them has the potential to gain a foothold in a wealthy family, which in itself is cheating.

Another point is that players basically join the team at the same time, so there is no problem of small groups of old players crowding out newcomers.The success of Union Berlin is due to Edward's unique vision, but it is also indispensable for the right time and place.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Manchester United to take the lead.

David Beckham received a pass from his teammate just past the center line, turned around and found Ruud Ruud van Nistelrooy in the penalty area with a scimitar. This kind of difficult ball is easy to handle for the small penalty area. All he did was stop the ball a little bit and then shoot, even if Cech moved away, it would be impossible to stop Van Nistelrooy from such a close place.

The Union Berlin player first raised his hand vigorously to signal the referee to be offside, but Edward could see clearly that the ball was not offside!

Just now Alves was dragged to the end!

Although he was mentally prepared, Edward was a little disappointed to lose the ball so quickly.

Philip Jennings, who also watched the final, comforted: "Master Edward, after all, the opponent is Manchester United."

"Yeah, it's Manchester United after all..."

Manchester United is really strong!
