"How did the boss know Anthea? She is the goddess of my dreams!"

"Look at those long legs, they are straight and white...the height is 178 and the legs are 87, the ratio is simply amazing."

"Standing next to the boss and watching it is also good."

"Do you think she will come to the stadium to watch us play in the future? It would be great if the boss is willing to give this kind of benefits."

"I'd like to meet her brother, he did a great job in "Die Another Day"!"

"Anthea, I can always hope that she will walk in the Victoria's Secret underwear show in the future!"

"Hush, you kid, keep your voice down, what are you thinking in your head? Don't let the boss know that you are in front of him—the boss!"

Lauter waved his hand at Costa: "Che, who are you scaring?"

Costa didn't say a word, and slowly stood up from the bench, and there were other players in the same movement as him.

Laut gradually realized that something was wrong, he slowly turned his head to the door of the locker room, his face turned pale instantly.

"Old, boss." Lauter said with a trembling voice, "I, I was just now..."

"Gentlemen, the break is over." Carl raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then gave his players a brilliant smirk: "I think it's time for us to set some rules for the locker room."

……

The players of 1860 Munich are sitting in jeopardy.If anyone thought that Karl's "locker room rules" were a joke at the beginning, this idea has disappeared now, because after a few hypocritical polite words, their boss's expression quickly became extremely serious, even The voice became serious: "Language, this is the first."

Karl's eyes swept over everyone, and he focused on several foreign players: "We are a German professional team. No matter where you come from, or how long you will stay here, you will always be in the locker room. Please speak German, this will also help you better integrate into the team and the city of Munich. Of course, I only make it mandatory for you to do this when you are in the team, and it doesn’t matter how you want to communicate in private.”

Irish player Kendrick whispered below: "But boss, don't you also speak English and Chinese..."

Karl caught Kendrick's eyes before he finished speaking, he bowed his head guiltyly, Karl gave him a faint look, and said, "So, I will only speak German to you in the locker room from now on. "

Shao Jiayi moved his butt on the bench uncomfortably. He thought: Maybe his behavior of canceling the German course the day before yesterday was a bit irrational?

"Second, power." Carl said blankly: "In the locker room, my words will be the biggest. Maybe I will take the initiative to explain to you afterwards, but at certain critical moments, such as the precious intermission time, I order you to obey absolutely without objection. Next is the captain—"

Hasler suddenly raised his head, his eyes sparkling.

"The captain is responsible for managing all of you. In official affairs, you must obey him as you obey my orders. All internal matters must be resolved internally. If you have dissatisfaction, you can report to me through the captain or directly. Other unnecessary behaviors Don’t do it at all. Here I specifically declare two points: [-]. Don’t go behind my back to complain to the club’s senior management. Get exposed, waiting for that person will be a bench period that never knows when it will end."

"Third, work and rest. It is not allowed to be late and leave early, 10 minutes late for additional training, 20 minutes for training with the reserve team, fines and suspensions for more than half an hour. When the team goes out to fight collectively, no one is allowed to spend the night outside, and no drinking is allowed. You have to be in bed by 10pm."

Some players began to swallow their saliva and exchanged glances with each other.

"Fourth, discipline. Underage players are not allowed to go to the bar, and must return to the dormitory before midnight - I know that there are no minors among you, but if I promote a player from the youth team to the first team in the future, you are responsible for telling this He. And the rule that we must sleep before midnight also applies when we go out to play away games. Every night I will round the room and roll the roll. No smoking and drinking in the locker room. No fighting between players. If any player is unwell If it affects the state of the game, let the club know as soon as possible, and you are not allowed to go to the doctor secretly."

"These are the most basic and strictest of the four rules. You must strictly abide by them. I have listed the specific details. Mr. Garrard will print them out and give you a copy later. Change clothes at the training base." Post it in the locker room and in the locker room."

Karl smirked again and winked at his players: "Good afternoon, gentlemen, we need to start the next stage of training after a 20-minute break." Nodding to everyone, Karl He left the locker room with his hands in his pockets.

After a few seconds of silence, the locker room suddenly became very noisy:

"A locker room rule? God!"

"No coach has ever asked us to abide by these rules...No smoking and drinking in the locker room? Then I will lose energy in training all day!"

"Beer is the life of a German man! Whether there is a game or not the next day, I am used to having a drink at night!"

"Why aren't we allowed to see a doctor by ourselves? Is the boss joking?!"

Hasler, who had just been empowered with great power, coughed heavily, and the locker room immediately fell silent again. The players kept their mouths shut, but they all looked at Hasler with dissatisfaction, as if they wanted him to give Come up with an explanation.

"I think there are two reasons why the boss doesn't let us go to the doctor secretly." Hasler explained: "One is that if someone conceals the injury privately and the boss doesn't know, he is likely to send that person in the game. Playing on the field, not only will the offender's body get worse, but the team's performance will also be affected. Second, it should be to prevent the media from secretly filming and hyping it up." After a pause, he shrugged and said, "If any of you think that the boss If you are joking, you can try it."

Some people began to speculate darkly: Hassler is so supportive of the boss, could it be that the two of them worked out these locker room rules together?

But God and Hassler himself knew that he didn't know about all the arrangements of Orston in advance, but he was very satisfied with the position of "the first brother in the locker room" that the head coach himself admitted.

……

Although Karl feels that he is very serious about making a rule for the team, no one will dare to be the leader in the short term, but there is no doubt that he underestimated the recklessness of his players, and the first foul appeared soon ——On Thursday morning, Tisser was 7 minutes late, and when he arrived at the training ground, he smelled so heavy of alcohol that he could kill people.

Karl asked him to stay on the edge of the field, leaned close to him and sniffed, then covered his nose in displeasure, and said, "Did you get too drunk last night?"

Tisser lowered her head and said obediently, "I was wrong, boss."

"It's a good attitude to admit your mistake." Carl squeezed a smile at him: "Let me see, you're late——"

He raised his watch and counted the time: "Ten and seven minutes. Let's train with the reserve team today."

Tisser looked at Carl with a dull expression: "Ah—?"

Carl turned around and glanced at the training ground. The players were strictly following the training plan for warm-up exercises. They seemed to be concentrating on every detail, but obviously everyone's ears were pricked up.

So he removed his smile and said lightly, "Go to training ground B and come back tomorrow."

Tisser's keen intuition told him that it was best not to ask anything at the moment, so although he hesitated and hesitated, he still ran to the B field across the wall.

……

The unbeaten record from the fifth to the tenth round of the league finally saved 1860 Munich from the bottom of the standings.And because of the continuous mistakes of other opponents, they jumped to the 11th place in the standings.

Although only one-third of the Bundesliga has passed, it is too early to say that it is completely out of the relegation zone at this time, but the continuous winning streak still gives the fans a ray of hope, and the attendance rate of home games is getting higher and higher— —The Allianz Arena has not yet been completely built. At this time, 1860 Munich and Bayern Munich are using the Olympic Stadium in Munich as their home field, with more than 6 seats.

The attendance rate of Bayern Munich is terribly high, both home and away games are often full, and compared with the rivals in the same city, although Munich 1860 has more fans in the city (40 years more history than Bayern is the pride of the few Munich fans One), but the ticket sales are not as strong as the rivals.

During home games, the attendance rate of 1860 Munich can still reach more than 80%, but when it comes to away games, there are hundreds of meters of die-hard fans who accompany the team.Bayern is recognized as the only European giants team in Germany. No matter which city they go to, there are local neutral fans who buy tickets to watch their games, but in cities other than Munich, the charm of 1860 is not so great. up.

It is impossible to say that you are not envious, jealous, and hateful, but who made 1860 have no money?If you don't have money, you can't build a good team, and you can't afford big-name players. According to media analysis, the lack of big-name players is the biggest reason why Munich 1860 can't attract diehard fans from other cities.

After being relegated from the Bundesliga, the sales of 04 tickets for the 05-1860 season were even worse. The worst attendance rate of the Olympic Stadium occurred in the third round of the league, only 45%. Chairman Orr, who received less ticket revenue, wanted to cry— —If tickets are sold so badly for a whole season, the club can probably declare bankruptcy directly after the season is over.

But now, the team is making great strides in the game, and they sold [-] tickets for the tenth round match against Cologne!It is even higher than the attendance rate in the last few rounds of the Bundesliga last season!

Chairman Orr was all smiles, he knew what this meant: it meant that the fans had confidence in the team again!It means that the club can repay the loan at the Allianz Arena this month!It also means that he did not make a mistake in his decision to invite Carl from Manchester United against all odds!

Now that the former chairman Wildmoser still holds a lot of shares in the club and is eyeing the control of the team, Orr believes that he and Karl are a closely connected body of interests-Carl leads the team with good results, and his seat is good. steady.God bless the team to continue to win!

……

The No. 11 round of the league ended, and Munich 1860 was lucky to win six consecutive victories. However, before the No. 12 round came, they still had one other event to play, that is, the German Cup.

UEFA has the Champions League and UEFA Cup, Italy has the Coppa Italia, France has the French Cup, Spain has the Copa del Rey, the Premier League has the FA Cup, and of course Germany has its own cup - the German Cup.

Among the European national cups, only the FA Cup in the UK and the German Cup in Germany choose a single-elimination system from the beginning of the entire schedule.Other cup competitions, such as the Champions League, UEFA Cup, Coppa del Rey and other events, basically use the home and away elimination system (except for the final).

And the German Cup is different from other cups: other countries will distinguish between professional teams and amateur teams at the beginning of the game, and the provincial amateur teams will encounter professional teams as soon as they enter the cup and then be massacred.But in the German Cup, all teams are on equal footing. Whether it is a professional team or an amateur team, they have to start competing from the first round. The difference is that those teams with low strength will receive some preferential treatment at the beginning of the draw. , such as the destined home court treatment or something.

1860 Munich have made it to the third round of this season's DFB-Pokal. Their opponent is Bielefeld am Rhein, Germany.

Bielefeld is a well-known "elevator club" in Germany, and they are always in the Bundesliga Bundesliga. They have an outstanding record last season, so they are now another Bundesliga team.

Being able to become a well-known "lifter" in the country shows that Bielefeld's strength is still very good, and they bought a lot of players in the summer. The team's main lineup is not to mention, at least young and strong. Much better than Munich 1860.

Karl carefully lined up his team before the game, and then sent out what he thought was the best lineup in the game, starting with a bombardment attack on Bielefeld.The head coach of Bielefeld did not back down, and he also set up an attacking formation. The two teams came and went on the court, constantly bombing the opponent's defense.

Throughout the first half, the two teams gave the fans a gluttonous feast-not only smooth offense and fierce fighting, but the more goals the players scored, the better. In the 45 minutes of the game, 1860 Munich scored 3 goals, and Bielefeld also scored 2 goals.

But after more than ten minutes in the second half, the gap between Munich 1860 and Bielefeld became apparent: Although Karl directed the team to retract the defense as a whole, and even let the forwards return to their own penalty area to participate in the defense, but more and more The more tired the Munich 1860 players were, they were still not as tenacious as the Bielefeld players when fighting.

The rhythm of the game gradually slowed down, Bielefeld blindly attacked, and 1860 Munich arranged three defensive lines in the half, hoping to maintain the 3:2 score until the end.

But God obviously didn't take care of this team full of veterans today.Seven minutes before the end of the game, a defensive foul from outside the penalty area by Votava dragged Munich 7 into a disadvantage-he tackled the Bielefeld striker with a fierce move, and the referee awarded the opponent a direct goal. Free kick.

The Bielefeld striker took a long shot in front of the goal, the football flew straight into the net, and the score was equalized!

Carl sat with his hands in his pockets, expressionless on the coach's bench, but his hands clenched into fists in his pockets in frustration—the game was about to be dragged into overtime, damn it!

Sure enough, after the end of the 90-minute main game and stoppage time, the referee signaled the start of the 30-minute overtime.

The players of Munich 1860 can't run at all. Karl has already used up 3 substitutions. These three are also the few fast players on the field who can still run.But those who have not been substituted and have been playing since the beginning of the game, such as the 31-year-old Cheney, he looks like he is about to pass out.

Overtime was a tragedy for 1860 Munich. They were conceded two goals in 30 minutes. The winner of the game was undoubtedly won by Bielefeld in the end.

When the referee blew his whistle to signal the end of the game, Karl waved to the coaching bench, and the team doctors immediately ran into the field, helped and supported the players who were physically exhausted, and focused on some players whose hearts were not in good condition during the physical examination. ——Because of overwork and fierce competition, it is not uncommon for people to faint and die from a heart attack on the football field.

The players passed by with their heads down one by one, but Karl was thinking: It would be good to be eliminated in the German Cup, so that he can devote all his energy to the league. After all, the team is now staying in the German second division. , Upgrading is the most important thing.Moreover, the team is not only short of main players, but there are almost not enough substitute players who are not injured and in good condition. It is a dream to take care of both ends in the League Cup.

However, we still have to find a way to solve the problem of the lack of physical strength of the main players.The easiest way is to add fresh blood, but there is still more than a month before the transfer window opens, and now I want to add people to the first team, then there is only...

Karl's eyes lit up, and he remembered the youth team of 1860 Munich.
