Chapter 83 Edward's Fame

Edward's performance completely exceeded many expectations.

When the news came back to China, the whole country was really boiling.Think about how the richest man in Asia who rolls wool can become the glory of the Chinese. Edward, who is full of sincerity, opens his mouth to Xin Qiji, and shuts up Huo Qubing's international friend super rich, can it not cause a sensation?

"Sports Weekly" collected some information at the first time, and it was full of long articles. At this time, the Internet is not well-developed, and translation talents are also in short supply, but the domestic media has never been afraid of talking nonsense.

Put it together and come up with an article about the past and present of Union Berlin, which makes the fans read with gusto.

"During the period of the division of Germany, the people of East Germany were shrouded in the white terror of the East German Ministry of State Security (Stasi). The only entertainment for the people was football. But even football was under the control of the Stasi. Controlling football, they moved Dynamo Dresden to the capital Berlin, and the referee, under the threat of bullets, could only help the club that had changed its name to Dynamo Berlin."

"They are only famous giants in East Germany, but there is a team that is the only one that dares to confront Dynamo Berlin in the league, that is Union Berlin owned by Edward Hoffmann. This team was in the Merchant Guild With the support of the team, they have competed with Dynamo Berlin in the same city for a long time. In every derby in the same city, even if they know there is no way to win the game, their players will always work hard, and their fans keep singing 'Push to Berlin' in the stands Wall', this is a team with a glorious tradition of rebellious spirit. Edward Hoffmann's grandfather is a fan of Union Berlin. After the reunification of Germany, the big businessman Thomas Hoffmann acquired Union Berlin. The second son is also a fanatical fan of Union Berlin, and Edward Hoffman's father, Jens Hoffmann, personally coached the team's youth team for a long time, but an accident took the lives of Edward's parents."

"Edward Hoffmann had an outstanding artistic talent since he was a child, and later he was admitted to the Werner Academy of Fine Arts with excellent grades. However, before his grandfather died, he hoped that Edward Hoffmann could make Berlin Union the best team in Germany. , the young artist decided to respect his grandfather's last wish, resolutely dropped out of school and became the chairman of the Union Club Berlin."

"He has a keen eye, invited the Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, and bought a group of talented young players in Europe. In the first season of being promoted to the Bundesliga, Union Berlin won the championship again and successfully won the Bundesliga. At the same time, they also won the German Cup consecutively and became double champions. Union Berlin, which will be promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time next season, will also participate in the UEFA Cup. This team with a glorious history is creating a legend !"

There was a lot of reaction to the report, a time when so many stories in football go untold.But even if they are all well-known, few can be compared with Union Berlin. These things are not at the same level. The performance of Union Berlin in East Germany has gone beyond the scope of football. They are the light of hope for 600 million people.

Edward naturally didn't know the domestic affairs in China, otherwise he would have to treat his buddy who wrote the article to a meal. What does it mean to drop out of school and take over the team? He is obviously doing it for money, and he might be ashamed if he talks about it so noble.

--------

Edward had been to South Korea in his previous life. One of his girlfriends was a fan of the boy group XO. After he arrived, he found out that this place is the junction of urban and rural areas. Except for Seoul, other places are dilapidated. Yes, there will be the same scene. After working for a long time, there are not many things that can be sold in this place.

This time I came to South Korea more than ten years earlier, and I couldn’t even watch South Korea. Even if Seoul lost the freshness, he got tired of playing in two days and returned to Jeju Island. Jeju Island kicks.

Although the current Jeju Island has begun to vigorously develop tourism, there is no way to compare it with later generations, otherwise Edward would not go to Seoul to relax.

When Ronaldinho heard that Edward had returned to Jeju Island, he immediately invited him to the Brazil team's hotel.

This time he was joined by Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos.

"Eddie, you are so mean, you ran out to play by yourself."

When Ronaldinho met, he complained.

The other two Brazilian players sat aside and laughed.

Originally, they were quite satisfied with their lives, but after seeing Edward, they realized how unfair the world was.

Many people don’t care about how much money Bill Gates has, but if Bill Gates suddenly gives this money to your friend, you will have an extra billionaire by your side, and many people will feel awkward immediately.

Even people who are not very materialistic will feel the benefits of being rich at a certain point in time, not to mention that Brazilian players value money very much.

They had never been in touch with rich people before, and thought that buying some luxury cars, living in a big house, and piling up some luxury goods on their bodies would be the best life. It can be seen that Edward and the others finally discovered that there is a huge gap between them and the rich. difference.

People travel directly by plane, live in a manor, girlfriend is a Hollywood star, or two, every suit on their body is in Savile Row, the tailor shop that specializes in making clothes for the British royal family .In addition to these, daily necessities have all the details, all of which are exquisite and exquisite, compared with a group of nouveau riche.

This is also the success brought about by Thomas Sr.'s insistence on living an aristocratic life at home.Although Edward didn't think it was necessary, many people just envied this thing. Even his grandmother was a down-and-out aristocratic lady, and it was said that she was related to the Habsburg family.

"Robert, Ronnie, why don't you have the time to have afternoon tea with me, an idler?" Edward asked after sitting down.

"Of course it's boring."

Ronaldo shrugged and said that even though his girlfriend is famous, he still can't control himself. He and Xiao Lizi are the same kind of people. Both of them rely on fame to pick up girls, but Xiao Lizi is more handsome.

Carlos nodded in agreement.

The Real Madrid full-back is the kind of person who has a heart but no guts. Edward still remembers the miserable end of this legendary defender. It is said that he left the house when he divorced, and even the place to live was provided by his Real Madrid teammates.Combining these, Carlos's move to Russia to eat bad money is easy to understand.

As soon as they spoke, Edward knew what several people were thinking.

But Edward will definitely not agree to take them to play. At this time, Jeju Island is full of reporters, and it is too risky to go out to play. If he is photographed, his reputation will be affected. The most he can get when he goes to a nightclub is a playboy. He doesn't care about his nickname, anyway, many people call him that now, but taking these stars to hang out together will be hated by many fans, and this will eventually affect Union Berlin, so he must pay attention.

"Sorry, I have some things to do recently." Edward made an excuse.

"Oh, okay."

Ronaldo obviously lost his enthusiasm just now.

Ronaldinho didn't take it seriously, and poured a glass of red wine for Edward and handed it over: "Tell me quickly, is it interesting to go to Seoul?"

"It's boring, the country is boring, everyone is phony and vain."

"Yes, I feel pretty good."

Ronaldinho asked a little strangely. The staff of the hotel these days have been very enthusiastic and left a good impression on him.

Edward thought to himself that you are confused by the performance because you don't understand.

Koreans want to save face, so there will be no problem entertaining European and American countries, but you try to meet a Korean team in a game?The underpants are all black for you. The most interesting thing is that the Korean people are still proud of the results they have achieved with the help of referees. Edward hates this kind of country that distorts even the concept of right and wrong.

After chatting for a while, Ronaldinho gave Edward a few tickets before leaving.

They are big names, but they have to abide by the team's regulations at this time. Since they don't have a chance to go out, it's better to go back early and sleep in the afternoon.

------------

Edward's original plan was to visit as many national team sites as possible, but he soon found that this idea was not realistic.

The main reason is that this World Cup will be held in Japan and South Korea, and it is very troublesome to apply for the route. It is not so easy for him to come and go.So Edward stayed at the hotel and waited for the opening of the World Cup, and then went to cheer for the Chinese team.

On May 5, he ran to Seoul again, which was the opening match of the World Cup.

The French team Senegal had a big upset in this game. The French team lost 0:1 to Senegal. Edward remembered this after being surprised. Difficult to remember.

In order to earn some pocket money, he bet on some of the top four Korean teams and returned to Jeju Island.

The first group match of the Brazilian team was one day earlier than that of the Chinese team, so there is no conflict in watching these two games.

Brazil's first game was held in Ulsan, which is not far from South Korea, and there are not many airports in South Korea. Even if Edward wanted to fly, he couldn't fly. He could only choose a car as a means of transportation.

The day before the competition, Edward invited Caroline to set off together, and the girl readily agreed.

The next day, the bodyguard drove to the hotel to pick up Caroline. The girl, who had just grown up, had obviously prepared carefully. She wore a simple and elegant white half-length skirt, and the half-sleeves on her upper body were also very fashionable. A Breguet women's watch, this is a girl from a wealthy family, and Kaka is together, and Kaka is still a high climber in terms of family background.

"You also have a car in Korea?"

After getting in the car, Caroline was full of curiosity. The car was not a good car, it was just an old Audi, but she was very interested in the fact that there were still cars abroad.

"My grandfather has friendship with the top management of Volkswagen. They lent it to me. They also sell cars in Korea. The bodyguards went to change the international driver's license. That's how it is."

"It's amazing!"

At first she thought it was Edward who bought it here. After all, Edward was very rich, so she didn't expect it to be borrowed.But borrowing is obviously more cost-effective than buying, and Brazilian girls will not feel ashamed of such things.

"It's my grandfather who is amazing."

"Okay, I heard from Ricardo earlier that you went to play in the capital of South Korea, how was it?"

Hearing this question, Edward started to roll his eyes. Everyone is interested in this, but he still put on the most standard smile and said: "It's not interesting, it's boring here."

"I'm bored too, but I promised my mother to stay in the hotel when there is no game." Caroline pouted.

Edward looked dazzled for a while. Caroline was indeed very beautiful and tall. She was relatively young, and she was still childish. There was a strong contrast with her more mature face.

Edward thought Caroline was beautiful in his previous life, but now he looks even more beautiful. Thinking about it with confidence, he might think it was a status bonus.

It must be so!

Edward handed over a small gift box: "If you are bored, you can call me, and I will go to the hotel to find you to play."

"You can just change to live here." Caroline kicked her calf.

This proposal moved Edward very much, but he still remained rational: "There are no more rooms now, and there are a lot of tourists in South Korea. If it's just me, it's okay, but I still have a lot of bodyguards, so it's not realistic to change hotels."

"whatever!"

Caroline, who was rejected, was a little unhappy, and usually kept silent with a stern face, but she kicked the front seat harder.

------------

Before getting out of the car, Edward also changed his jersey. His jersey was given by Ronaldinho with his signature on it.

He, Caroline, and a group of bodyguards quickly found a place in the stands. This place is the free ticket area for the Brazilian national team, and they are basically related households and family members of players.

"Is that Kaka's girlfriend?"

"It should be, her name is Caroline Celico."

Since Kaka was born in the Copa Libertadores, he has been in a mess in Brazil. Everything about him has been exposed, including his girlfriend Caroline, so even if he is a bag boy in the national team, Kaka Rowling was also quickly recognized.

"Who is that handsome guy next to him? Is he Kaka's friend?"

"I don't know, he looks like a rich man, and the people around him are bodyguards."

"My God! I know him. He is the lucky guy in Germany. His grandfather left him tens of billions of euros!"

"The one in the newspaper before?"

"It's him, Edward Hoffmann. His team won the German Cup. I didn't expect him to be quite handsome in real life."

"Haha, your boyfriend will be jealous if he hears this."

"It's not his turn to be jealous, Kaka is the one to worry about."

"There is also a possibility that he may want to invite Kaka to play in his team."

"That's enviable, it's said that his team pays a lot."

Brazilian players' girlfriends don't care much about where their boyfriends play football, only the money they make is real.

Edward had heard the conversation around him a long time ago, but he did not expect that he would also become quite famous in Brazil.This made Edward even more vigilant. He must pay attention to his belief that he and Union Berlin have been tied together and cannot affect the team.
