Chapter 23 The Heroes of the North and the South

Meeting with van der Vaart was not so easy.

Van der Vaart is a little older and has experienced more things, so it is not so easy to be fooled. Although he hummed and agreed to what he said, lovely Dehua could tell at a glance that Van der Vaart didn't take it seriously.

This kid obviously enjoys the feeling of being the leader of a small group. Thanks to Edward, he still wants to train him to be the captain. This kind of clique captain is definitely not acceptable. Van der Vaart's eyelids are too shallow, and he is a bit clever, but Seeing the benefits in front of him, no wonder the past life got worse and worse.

Edward didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, he would definitely not lose money if he bought Van der Vaart for 200 million euros, and at worst, he would be sold later.

Sneijder surprised Edward a bit. Although Sneijder and Van der Vaart were good friends, their personalities were completely different.

Sneijder, who is not bald and a little handsome, is very obedient, but he is easily influenced by Van der Vaart. He has been used to following behind Van der Vaart since the Ajax youth team.

Edward just encouraged Sneijder to leave. He was obedient but lacked his own opinions. In this way, someone needs to guide him well. I hope that Mourinho's previous life can make Sneijder play to his greatest potential.

It was a pleasant meeting with Chivu. The Romanian is the oldest player in the team. He was the only Romanian in the Ajax period, and it was easy to adapt to a new environment. The most important thing is that he understands who is the talker People, Chivu promised to report to Edward if there is any trouble in the team, including Mourinho's actions.

This kind of cooperative attitude made Edward very satisfied. He directly untied Breguet from his wrist and threw it over. After some refusals, Chivu accepted his gift.

Judging from the other person's expression, he probably didn't recognize him. Many people hadn't even heard of Patek Philippe before the Big Bang, let alone Chivu from poor Eastern Europe. Edward didn't know what style this watch was, but it was him. Grandpa left it behind, this watch will definitely not be too cheap.

Since Chivu didn't recognize it, he didn't point it out. He will definitely appreciate him even more when he finds out. The probability of not being able to find out is too small. Even so, it doesn't matter. He has a lot of watches at home.

After that, he chatted with Friedrich and Dirk respectively. After discussing with Mourinho, he decided to confirm the two as the captain and deputy captain.

Friedrich is also at the international level in the future. Because he is a domestic player, he took advantage of it and became the first captain. In fact, Dirk Dirk's character and strength are more suitable for this position, but the captain is never determined entirely by strength. After the cleaning, the team has no old qualifications and can only find a reliable local player.

--------

In the second game, on July 7, Union Berlin's opponent was Premier League powerhouse Newcastle.

Before the start of the game, Edward saw an astonishing scene. De Jong was chatting and laughing with Pepe. He didn't recognize them at first. Who told them that they were not bald now, but after recognizing them, he was shocked.

Could it be that even the language barrier can't stop the sympathy between the "worst" combinations in football?

Now the two are not as bottom-lined as they were in the past, but the signs of fierceness in defense have emerged. After all, the way of playing football that likes to foul is determined by personality. There are many players who like to tackle but will not foul maliciously. Nesta, he often tackles the ball and is called elegant, these are all in his bones.

Seeing such a scene, Edward had expectations besides surprise. His mentality was the same as when he was a fan in his previous life. He liked to watch powerful players play together. Not only technically, he used to play Pepe , De Jong, Van Bommel and Materazzi got together, and then got three red cards in one game...

Even so, he is still full of expectations. With these two people, Union Berlin will be frightening on the court in the future.

"Alan—"

"—Hiller!"

Newcastle had just kicked off, and even the local fans were chanting Shearer's name.

It can be seen that the influence of big stars, Shearer's performance in the European Cup just past was impressive.

He is very dominant on the front line, and Newcastle is him, King Arthur, leading the Knights of the Round Table to charge together.

But they met "North and South Shuangxia".

Hiller narrowly escaped De Jong's shovel, and was immediately tripped to the ground by Pepe's sweeping legs.

Considering it was a friendly match, the referee only gave a verbal warning.

Edward was in a strange mood, both excited and nervous, and at the same time had a little expectation of doing bad things.

The connivance of the referee team will definitely encourage Pepe's arrogance.

De Jong and Pepe moved more and more. The Newcastle players were afraid of injury and played timidly. Union Berlin, whose tactics had not yet been fully formed, had the upper hand.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Van Persie, who started today, received a cross from Villa to help Union Berlin take the lead.

Mourinho celebrated passionately, but coach Robson's expression was not very good.

If it wasn't for his narrow-mindedness, the main players of Union Berlin were too dirty. Not to mention the big moves of those two boys, even their teammates let go of the kick. The old coach was terrified. If you lose, you lose. You can't get all the main players injured because of an invitational match. Then it will be a lot of fun when the Premier League starts.

But he didn't expect that less than 5 minutes before the goal, the French star Robert was shoveled directly on the billboard by De Jong when he was dribbling the ball. The fans in the first row heard a huge sound.

The most exasperating thing is that De Jong still looks innocent after fouling. After being confirmed by the team doctor, the Frenchman will be absent for at least 2 months.

Hearing this news, the old coach directly replaced 5 players. Isn’t it okay if they stop playing?

Seeing Newcastle's recovery, the players of Union Berlin played with even more confidence, and their cooperation was not enough to make up for it. Even the always steady Dirk Didier played three players in a row on the right.

Before the half-time break, Union Berlin took advantage of a corner kick and captain Friedrich scored a goal to rewrite the score to 2:0.

In the second half, Bobby Robson even replaced the goalkeeper Shay Given, but still could not escape the tragic fate. Their substitute goalkeeper Stephen Harper was wrinkled by the Portuguese defender when he fought for a corner kick with Pepe. corner of eye.

At the end of the game, the old coach ignored the outstretched hand of his apprentice Mourinho and left the field directly, which shows how angry he is.

On the contrary, Edward is very happy. At least there is no need to worry about the players losing money on the field. The German team must be careful when facing Union Berlin in the future.
