Chapter 19 Liberty Berlin Cup

“Membership fees cannot be raised,”

"The poor have the right to be members of the club!"

"Edward the vampire, get out and give us back the Union Berlin!"

"Liberty belongs to all beings..."

After launching a membership vote, these fans finally realized the problem. There are really dog ​​day traitors among them.

Although Edward's increase in membership fees caused some fans under Eriksson and Muller to defect, he doesn't need so many voting rights. He already has 49% of the voting rights, and he only needs to get more than 1% from the outside. good.

Under his money offensive and charisma, the two fans organized many people to support him, most of them were young people. These people sneered at the rebellious spirit of the older generation. The changes that Edward brought to Union Berlin were immediate. This alone He spent more than 2000 million euros during the transfer period. Anyway, as long as the ticket price does not increase, it will have no impact on them. Who doesn't want to watch powerful stars play at home.

Although Union Berlin is currently named the Dutch youth team by "Kicker", which makes them unhappy, it also shows the talent of these Dutch people. If it weren't for Edward, they could have bought so many Ajax and Eindhoven. Wen's genius player?

Edward also promised to increase his investment in the club after reaching the first league. As long as the players are willing, he is willing to sign a large transfer fee to sign up.

Luis Figo, David Beckham, Andrei Shevchenko, these names that Edward uttered make people excited just thinking about them. This kind of arrogance that spends a lot of money makes Edward popular among the younger generation of fans soaring.

With external support, Edward's proposal to increase membership fees was easily passed, and the procedure was completely reasonable. Those fans who failed had to protest outside the training ground, and there was not much they could do other than that.

"Your popularity seems to be getting worse."

Mourinho joked.

"As many people hate me, as many people love me, geniuses are always incomprehensible to mortals."

Edward said quietly.

Mourinho did not deny Edward's statement.

After a period of contact, he found that this young chairman was too much for his appetite.

He doesn't care what other people say, he is arrogant, he is arrogant, he thinks he is a genius, Edward cares less about what other people say than him, don't let him be more arrogant.

Two egomaniacs got together and were discussing how to subvert Bayern's rule. Those protests seemed to them fart.

"But I have some bad news for you."

Edward tilted his head and waited for the next sentence. Mourinho said: "Except for Schalke 04, who bought players in the summer, no team in the Bundesliga is willing to play a warm-up match with us."

"Fuck!"

He didn't expect to be so hostile. He bought a bunch of talents, so he couldn't warm up his opponents and arrange them in the second or lower leagues. He also wanted to let those damn opponents see the team's current strength in advance.

"In this case, don't blame me for not taking them to play."

Edward is not good-tempered either, so he made a phone call directly:

"I'm Edward Hoffman, do you have any plans?"

"In this way, I am going to hold a small cup in Berlin, which may be held every year in the future, and I hope to invite Ajax to participate."

"You can rest assured about the quality of the opponent. I will invite other giants. As long as they come to play in the cup, there will be a participation award of 30 euros and a prize of 100 million euros for winning the championship."

"Okay, then you should discuss it with other people and give me an answer as soon as possible."

After more than 20 minutes, Edward got a reply from Ajax agreeing to come to Germany to play in the cup.

"Is this all right?"

Mourinho was dumbfounded, Edward is really a big dog, really capable of doing things.

Normally, the giants hold a cup match where everyone warms up together, and the reward is secondary. Edward will spend money first, no wonder Ajax will agree.

Edward shrugged in embarrassment: "There is nothing that money can't solve. If it can't be solved, it means that you haven't spent enough money."

He still remembers the Emirates Cup in his previous life. Including Arsenal, there are only 4 teams in total. The league system is adopted. The participating teams get 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw.In addition, the team can score 1 point for each goal scored. Although it can play a warm-up effect, it seems meaningless.

Since it's a cup match, there should be semi-finals and finals, and Edward is going to make a big one directly.

Let fans have something to look forward to during the summer transfer period.

Philip Jennings quickly gave him a piece of information, and Edward was the first to call Florentino: "Hello, Mr. Florentino, please allow me to introduce myself, I am Edward, the chairman of Union Berlin. Hoffman."

"How nice of you to have heard my name, lol."

"When I have time, I will definitely go to the Bernabeu to watch the game. Yes, I bought an Argentine player in the Real Madrid youth team."

"Business matters have to wait. After all, I don't count now. I want to invite Real Madrid to Berlin to warm up. I plan to hold a cup with 8 teams participating. Let the team familiarize themselves with the playing styles of the leagues in various countries."

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you in Berlin."

Real Madrid and Ajax agreed to participate in the cup, and the rest is easy to say. These two names alone are enough to attract many teams to warm up.

Two days later, the spokesperson of the Union Berlin once again announced an amazing news: On July 7, the "Freedom Berlin Cup" initiated by the Union Berlin will be held at their home stadium Fusele Stadium. At that time, Real Madrid, Ajax, Eight teams from Lazio, Marseille, Benfica, Union Berlin, Schalke 15 and Newcastle United will be divided into two groups. After three games, the top two teams in the group will compete for the place in the final. million euros.

At this time, money is already secondary. No one expected that Union Berlin would have such a big name, inviting giants from many countries to play together in the invitational tournament.

Summer is the quietest time in football. Except for the melons that have been transferred, the fans can only hope for the stars and the moon and wait for the league to start. Unexpectedly, there will be a small cup competition with many strong teams participating.

This is the first time that Union Berlin has entered the sights of many fans.

Fighting in groups and competing for the championship, among these teams, except for the two German teams, which one is strong, the fans have completely looked forward to it.

Thanks to the frantic reports from the media from various countries, Edward actually sold the broadcast rights at a high price. Sky TV is willing to broadcast the "Liberty United Cup" live broadcast, and pays a total of 500 million euros to Berlin Union, which means that in addition to the participation award of 210 million plus the championship 150 million prize money, they also earned 140 million euros!
