long live football

When it comes to extreme fans, some people always think of Italy subconsciously.

The fusion of Italian football culture and extreme fan culture is almost inseparable. The first extreme fan organization in the history of Italian football is the "Lion Forest" established by AC Milan fans in 1968. This organization is also the earliest in European football. One of the extreme fan groups.

In addition to AC Milan, other Italian teams basically have their own extreme fan organizations, and they are very famous all over the world, such as Inter Milan's "Holy Boy", Livorno's "Livorno Autonomous League", Juventus The "Vikings" in Rome, the "Roma Boys Fan Club" in Rome, the "Unteachables" in Lazio, the "Luca Vialli" in Sampdoria, the "Most Loyalist" in Siena, etc. .

Some say extreme fans in Italy are football hooligans, some say they are terrorists, others say they are fascists, violence and right-wing political forces are part of their culture, racism, neo-fascist slogans and violent activities (such as Extreme fans of Roma once besieged the local police station in 07, set fire to police cars and Beijing Olympic countdown signs, and extreme fans of Inter Milan once hid firecrackers and murder weapons in girls' underwear in the Champions League in 05 and brought them into the stadium to wait for an opportunity to retaliate). Synonymous, and therefore, Italian extreme fan organizations are mostly notorious.

There are also many teams in the Bundesliga that have extreme fan organizations, such as Dortmund's "Desperadoes" and Bayern Munich's "Bavarian Purgatory 2001". The extreme fan organizations in Germany are different from those in Italy. There are basically no fascists, and they will not become politicians from fan leaders. The same is that the extreme fans of the two countries also have a strong collective consciousness, extremely reject the increasingly strong commercial atmosphere in football, and will use all kinds of fanatical methods. Means to maintain team honor.

The chairman of Munich 1860, Wilder Moser, first sold the team's main force to the arch-rival in the same city, and then terminated the contract with the meritorious coach. In the eyes of some extreme fans, it is extremely selfish and has the smell of a businessman.

The "Anti-Wildemoser League", in which almost every 1860 Munich fan participated, came into being.

On the premise that unidentified benevolent people funded a large amount of funds for the activities, the group activities of the "Anti-Wildemoser Alliance" were carried out vigorously.

They first set up a website. The background of the homepage of the website that can be browsed by everyone is a caricature full of irony: a blue male lion with five crowns on his head is getting smaller and thinner. Those body areas were converted into countless euros, which floated into the belly of a fat man with big ears on the edge of the frame, making the man's belly bigger and fatter.

Seeing that the appearance and face of the fat man in the cartoon is exactly the same as that of Wildmoser, any fan can immediately think of what this cartoon is satirizing.

There are not only satirical cartoons on the homepage of the website, but also regular articles exposing Wildmoser’s various acts of harming the public and self-interest and his past black history. The website is open to everyone, but for ordinary fans, it is only for browsing and cannot leave comments If you want to leave a message and enter some relatively internal forums, you need to register. Registration requires an invitation code. The invitation code is only distributed within the "Anti-Wildemoser Alliance", which prevents people who have the same nostrils as Wildemoser from lurking possibility to come in.

In the internal forum of the "Anti-Wildemoser Alliance" website, it is far more lively than the homepage. It is divided into several sections. Some ask members for suggestions on how to plan protests, and some publish event information. There is help for other fan groups to buy tickets so that everyone can sit together at away games, there is a Karl Alston memorial board, and there is a heavily-posted board discussing "fundraising to buy club shares and then Feasibility of Wildmoser being removed from the board".

Once the website was established, the number of registered users quickly exceeded 5, and it was moving towards the 10 mark a week later.

The "Anti-Wildemoser Alliance" has a large number of people, and it is easy to gather thousands of fans every day to block the gate of the Munich 1860 club, holding up protest banners and shouting protest slogans.

Most of the fans also brought tomatoes and rotten eggs from their refrigerators, and as soon as they saw Wildmoser’s car appear, they would turn into baseball players and throw them—perhaps a thousand rotten eggs would be difficult. One fell on Wildermoser, but the fans were happy if he had to go to the car wash every day after entering and leaving the club.

And there are still many Lions fans who work as car washers, or simply drive a car wash shop by themselves. They are very happy to wash away all the stains on the opponent's car when they meet Wildmoser's patronage, but keep the smelly The smell of eggs.

My car has to be cleaned at least twice a day by a professional car wash, otherwise the paint stains on the car will never be washed off. This naturally makes Wildmoser feel unhappy, and what makes him even more angry is that the fans protested fiercely The activities seemed to be aimed at him alone, ordinary club staff came in and out as usual, only him Wildmoser, every day in and out of the club was like a war.

On Europe's largest music sharing website, more than ten songs criticizing Wildemoser were uploaded within a week. First of all, after the start of the new season, they can sing these songs every week at the Allianz Arena, and the disgusting Wildmoser will never be able to set foot on the football field again.

Because the customers of the music sharing platform are Internet users all over Europe, people in other countries can also hear these songs. Fans from France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Poland, Spain, Russia and other countries also participated in the activity of adapting the songs Now, some of them compose lyrics and music spontaneously, and some select one or two songs from the completed works of Lions fans, adapt them into French, English and other songs and upload them again, so that fans in other countries can also learn about Wildmoser. How unpopular this club president is.

The protests of the Lions fans, which lasted for a long time, not only had a huge impact in Germany, but also aroused widespread concern throughout Europe. From time to time, the media in many countries reported what the fans of Munich 1860 did today, their The chairman is therefore how embarrassed and so on.

Wildmoser's reputation has become infamous due to the huge protests of fans, but the behavior of Lions fans throwing rotten eggs, drawing caricatures and even making anti-songs is actually small troubles and has not caused any harm. What serious consequences, Wildermoser's personal safety was not threatened, but shortly after, the protests escalated.

After finishing the deal with Bayern rivals in the same city and selling Lewandowski and Dante to each other, 1860 Munich sold Dennis Ogo to Schal for 7 million euros at lightning speed in early July. Ke 650, Mertesacker was sold to Werder Bremen for 04 million euros, and Hummels was sold to Dortmund for 700 million euros.

And at the same time when these three transactions were completed, the giants and powerful teams in European leagues suddenly began to have scandals with other stars of Munich 1860 such as Beckham, Portillo, Dzeko, Ozil, etc. From the super duo to the top three in Serie A and then to the top four in the Premier League, all the teams with strong financial resources that fans can think of, seem to have become the star chasers of the Lions overnight.

So people only now understand: Wilder Moser's transfer deal to sell Lewandante Hummels and others is actually just a foretaste, and a bigger deal is yet to come!

The "Anti-Wildemoser Alliance" was extremely angry.

Let’s not talk about Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga class bully. After Oston leaves, traditional Bundesliga teams such as Schalke 04, Werder Bremen and Dortmund will become Munich 1860’s next season’s championship opponents. But look what Wildmoser did?Not only did he sell several key players to the team's direct competitors in the league, he even wanted to sell more!

Is it possible that Munich 1860, the honorary team that once placed the highest expectations of the fans and fulfilled the highest expectations of the fans, is about to be dismantled?

The "Anti-Wildemoser Alliance" could no longer bear the anger in their hearts, and they began to use extreme methods, sending death threats to Wildemoser.

Day one is a dagger.

The next day was a bullet.

Day three was a photo of Wildmoser stained with unidentified blood.

Along with these death warnings, the envelope also contained warning letters from fans, who warned Wildmoser to stop his crazy selling behavior, otherwise, the "anti-Wildmoser alliance" would make him look good.

Wildmoser almost pissed off the first death threat he received.

Two months later, Hoffenheim's rich chairman Hope and Wild Moser came together - because Hoffenheim beat Dortmund 2:4 in the league, Hope was sent by an extreme Dortmund fan He went away from death threats and became the No.1 club president who was threatened by extreme fans with terrorist means this year.

However, Hope and Wildmoser are different after all. It is quite common in European football for Hope to be threatened with death by opponent fans. Wildmoser has broken many historical records: [-]: Wildmoser Became the first club president in the history of German football to be sent death threats by his own fans.

Two: It is not an extreme fan who hates him, but an extreme fan organization.

Three: Hoffenheim chairman Hope’s threat was solved within 24 hours, and the fans who caused the accident were quickly arrested by the police, but Wildmoser’s threat was too large and the scope was too wide, and there were still many clues The chaos, and the fact that the fans have not taken any more intense revenge actions other than sending letters, so the police solve the case very slowly, with almost no progress.

In extreme panic, Wildemoser not only immediately sent all his family members (including his son Wildemoser Jr., who was imprisoned for his crimes a few years ago and was released recently) all out of the country, and even invited 8 personal Bodyguards guard his safety 24 hours a day in shifts.

Worries about his own life did not slow down Wildmoser's plan to sell someone, and even after hiring enough bodyguards, his actions became even crazier.

From July to August, every once in a while, 1860 Munich will sell a star, just like dropping a diving bomb on the surface of an already boiling lake. The more 1860 sells, the more stars will remain Is being snapped up.

It seems that the teams all over Europe collectively realized at this time: the grand opening of the 1860 supermarket in Munich is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don’t miss it when you pass by. If you miss it for two months, you will regret it for a lifetime!

……

Throughout the summer, European football was full of news about the transfer of Munich 1860 stars to their new clubs.

All the slightly wealthy teams in the five major European leagues have joined the battle for the Lions star, while few teams outside the five major leagues have participated—why?Because they know that even if they pay three times or four times their salary, these Munich 1860 stars who are playing in their prime and have a huge room for future growth will not choose to come to the fringe leagues such as the Russian Super League and the Soviet Super League in advance.

On July 7, Robert Lewandowski transferred to Bayern Munich for 1 million euros and Dante Santos for 2500 million euros.

On July 7, Dennis Ogo transferred to Schalke 3 for 650 million euros.

On July 7, Mats Hummels transferred to Dortmund for 4 million euros.

On July 7, Per Mertesacker moved to Werder Bremen for 6 million euros.

On July 7, Zvezdan Misimovic moved to Wolfsburg for 9 million euros.

On July 7, Edin Dzeko transferred to Manchester City for 13 million euros.

On July 7, Mesut Ozil moved to Arsenal for 18 million euros.

On July 7, Thiago Silva transferred to AC Milan for 21 million euros.

On July 7, Lars Bender and Sven Bender transferred to Manchester United for 23 million euros.

On July 7, Sami Khedira transferred to Real Madrid for 29 million euros and Javier Portillo for 2000 million euros.

At the same time, Portillo is also the king of bids in the European transfer market this summer.

The successive transfer information released by Munich 1860 and the seller almost stunned the reporters and fans all over Europe.

The speed at which 1860 sold players was unimaginable, and the high amount of the transfer price made people feel their teeth chattering.

200 million euros!

The team of 1860 Munich, which won five championships last season, was completely dismembered and sold nearly [-] million euros!

When all the media in Europe summed up this number, and when all European fans saw this number from the newspapers, two thoughts came to their minds one after another uncontrollably: Wilder Moser sent it!

Wildmoser is crazy!

Fans from other countries are drooling over the bling of euro numbers.

The "Anti-Wildemoser Alliance" hated the chairman of the club to death. They not only spread the news, but also sincerely suggested to all robbers in Germany, "Stop robbing the bank, and it will be faster to rob Wildemoser's house to make a fortune", and even When Wildemoser was leaving the club after work, he rioted and attacked the opponent's vehicle, and eventually got into a large-scale brawl with Wildemoser's bodyguard team, and both were taken to the police station.

Wildmoser, who is hated by fans, suffered only a few bruises in this incident, but after paying the bodyguards who desperately protected him a large sum of appeasement money, he finally lost the protection of his personal safety. People——After the fan attack was reported in the newspapers, the security company where the bodyguard hired by Wildmoser suddenly suspended cooperation with him. After mentioning the name of the security company hired by Wildmoser on the Internet, and finding that it was opened by his son, the old fan was so angry that he immediately asked his son to terminate the partnership with Wildmoser immediately, otherwise he would I will go on a hunger strike.

What is strange is that the owner of the security company is not a football fan because he has served in the army for many years, but his father and son are both loyal to the Lions. The young fan saw his grandfather and father having a conflict, and he also learned something. The owner of the security company had no choice but to obey his family and promised not to cooperate with Wildmoser again.

Because he lost all the reports and was worried that the "anti-Wildemoser alliance" would not stop the retaliation against him, Wildemoser had to seek help from the police and lived in a five-star apartment with 24-hour surveillance and tight security. The star hotel has become afraid to even go home.

……

Munich 1860 got a staggering number of players from selling players in one summer, but some senior football journalists believe that Wildmoser still sold at a loss.

As early as June, the "Transfer Market", which is quite authoritative in German data, had estimated the total value of the first-line lineups of European teams. At that time, the total value of the Munich 6 players was estimated at 1860 million euros.

This number is exaggerated in the previous season or two, but it is just right now that Munich 1860 has just won the highest honor in European football and is being sought after by the whole world.

Moreover, the major European leagues are now the most lacking in big-game players. Players who have experienced countless big competitions and finally won the championship, the actual price is often higher than the sticker price.

For example, Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid waved a check of 8000 million pounds this summer to take him away from Old Trafford, but Ferguson said: "Even if you use a bullet to collapse him (C Luo), I would not let him leave Manchester United now."

Another example is that Beckham, who has only one year left in his contract with Munich 1860 and has no intention of renewing his contract or showing any sign of leaving, the 33-year-old Beckham will not be worth more than 1000 million euros in the transfer market. But even if countless teams give checks of 2000 million or 3000 million euros, they will not be able to buy him.

This is price without market.

But this summer, a strange creature like Wilde Moser appeared in the European transfer market, as if he was doing a big sale, and almost wiped out the team of the "Five Champions" of Munich 1860.

The total price of selling the stars is nearly 200 million euros, which seems to be a profit goal that ordinary clubs have struggled to achieve in the transfer market for ten years, but if Wildmoser now takes another [-] million euros If he goes to buy someone, he shouldn't expect to be able to buy back the original team without losing any of them.

Therefore, the editor-in-chief of "Kicker" specially went to the battle in person. In the column, he commented regretfully and bitterly: "Wildermoser is too ugly to eat. He messed up such a good hand of the champion team of 1860 Munich. 1860 Munich I am only in a hurry to sell people to cash out, forgetting that only by pretending to be reserved to whet the buyer's appetite can the player be sold at a high price..."

Once this review was published, it was widely praised and reprinted by other media. For a while, the whole of Europe laughed at Wildmoser: "It's really a lot of money—but it's only worth making so much."

……

Although Wildmoser usually has a group of mud horses running in his mind, he becomes very shrewd when it comes to matters related to money.

When selling players, he pretends to be reserved to attract people's appetite, and then the one who pays the highest price will get the set of transfer transactions. Doesn't he, who has been the chairman of the club for many years, not understand?

Wildmoser certainly does, and is very proficient.

For example, after the transfer window opened this year, he did the same at the beginning: facing the first offers from many clubs, he replied to them with "this player is not for sale", and then lured these clubs to make a second and third offer , and then find the highest price among these quotations, agree, and then let them find players to negotiate individual contracts.

However, in the transfer transaction, many things are beyond Wildmoser's control.

Like Misimovic, in addition to Wolfsburg, there are two teams, Galatasaray and CSKA Moscow, competing for the captain of the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, and Galatasaray is willing to pay 800. 1000 euros, CSKA Moscow is willing to offer [-] million, and each offer is more than Wolfsburg, but Misimovic said that he is used to the Bundesliga environment and does not want to leave, so he insists on going to Wolfsburg.

Wolfsburg probably also knew that Misimovic must not go, and the transfer price refused to increase. Wildmoser finally had no choice but to sell Misimovic to the other party for 650 million euros. .

There are also the Bender brothers. Wildmoser has always regarded the twin stars as rare goods, thinking that they can be sold at a high price if they are bundled together. In fact, there are many teams competing for them after the transfer window opens. There are Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and other teams involved. Among them, Manchester City has the highest bid (5000 million pounds, about 6000 million euros), followed by Chelsea, followed by Manchester United (3500 million pounds, about 4200 million euros). lowest.

Wildmoser wanted to sell the Bender Brothers to Manchester City. Since "Blue Moon" received a capital injection from the Middle East Arab consortium this summer, they have been frantically buying people in the transfer market, and they only buy expensive ones and not the right ones. It can be called the biggest fat sheep in the European transfer market in 2008, 6000 million euros, it's not worth it!

But the Bender brothers refused to go to Manchester City, they will go to Manchester United, or they will not go anywhere.

In the end, the transfer transaction must be decided by the will of the players. Otherwise, if the conditions are negotiated between the clubs and the players refuse to sign, the club's previous efforts will be in vain.

Threats to the Bender brothers were fruitless, and Wildmoser, who was threatened "to force us again, we will wait for the contract to expire and leave without leaving you without a penny", finally sold the twins to Manchester United.

Although Portillo is the European bidder this summer, Wildermoser actually wanted to sell him at a higher price. Real Madrid initially showed their intention to buy, and when they made a tentative bid of 4000 million euros, Wildermoser Ze very frightened and said to the media: "4000 million euros? It's only enough to buy Portillo's leg!"

Real Madrid gradually increased the price later, but they refused to increase it after it reached 7000 million, because Portillo expressed his willingness to go to the Bernabeu at this time-the players were moved, and the winner of Real Madrid is not stupid, why? Will it keep raising the price for you in vain?

There are also Beckham and Irving. Wildemoser wants to sell them to Serie A or the Premier League, but neither of them will dump Wildemoser. Wildemoser lacks confidence in these two and dare not Use too many means.

Although he is the one who ultimately benefits from selling players, Wildmoser always feels that he is not the one who takes the initiative in these transfer transactions, but the one who is led by the nose...

Who on earth has such energy?Wildmoser couldn't figure it out. Now that 1860 Munich is in charge of him alone, he believes that in the club, there is no second person with more power than himself.

There is no way to tell others about this kind of thing. Not only will no one believe it, but everyone will think that he is taking advantage of it and acting like a good boy, which is simply disgusting.

So in the end, Wildmoser was still confused and went to calculate his dividend in a daze.

... I have to say that Wildmoser's intuition is amazing. In the transfer transactions completed and failed in Munich 1860, there is indeed another person's shadow.

This person is none other than Karl, who had already left Munich.

The author has something to say:

PS: The worth of the players, because the story in the book progresses to the summer of 08, many players who are now very expensive, such as Lewandezl, were relatively young at that time, so their worth has shrunk a little according to their age.But because the Lions won the five championships, the value of the team players with such honors will inevitably rise, so Mertesacker, Dante and others who are relatively low in the same period have increased their prices.

PPS: In reality, Manchester City was announced to be acquired by an Arab consortium on September 2008, 9, when the transfer window had just closed. In this article, in order to serve the plot, the acquisition time was advanced by more than one month. This has no effect on the plot of the following article. of.
