Chapter 132

Today’s information

[Some players are dissatisfied with Song Jae-jin’s harsh training method and player selection.]

The part that Song Jae-jin was most worried about was not promotion to the second division. He was rather confident that he would be able to achieve promotion.

Rather, he had to diligently strengthen the team’s internal stability in order to be promoted to the first division in the shortest time, and the greatest concern was that he had to do his best in the composition of the players.

Soriano, the president of the club, was working hard to improve the stability of the club, and it was important for him to strengthen the stability of the team and the board.

‘The most important thing is the composition of the team. It is important to create a team that can play in the second division without changing players as much as possible. A big change can be poison.’

In the end, no matter how stable the club was, it was the team that played and won the game to get points.

‘To do that, Nicolo has to come to life quickly. If he has that kind of potential, he will definitely be able to play a pivotal role in the team.’

The central axis of Hamburg that Song Jae-Jin thinks was by far Niccolo Robertio and Walter Giller.

It was because there was a certainty that both players could become big, both in terms of skill and personality.

And as the transfer market got closer, players with links through internal sources tended to appear.

But strangely, Hamburg was so quiet.

Only meaningless links from the unfounded yellow press continued to aggravate the confusion of the fans.

Therefore, Song Jae-jin arranged an interview with a pro-Hamburg-oriented local magazine.

This was to accurately describe the current situation in Hamburg.

“Thank you for arranging the interview.”

“You’re welcome. Fans are always the pillars that support the Hamburg club, and the media is a valuable channel for communication with those fans.”

Max Richter, who came to Hamburg for an interview today, was stunned by his attitude that was so different from the image of Song Jae-jin that had been previously covered in other media.

‘Isn’t it anti-media? I knew the interview style was outspoken and outspoken.’

It was because Song Jae-jin’s interview was so radical and at the same time unstoppable.

“Today’s interview will be conducted in a simple question-and-answer format.”

“Any way is fine.”

Although it was the beginning, Max Richter felt that something was going to loosen up, so he posed the first question to Song Jae-jin with a slightly relaxed attitude. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“With a little over half of the season, Hamburg are in first place at 3.liga. Even though it’s your first season as a manager, you’re doing great, how do you feel? I think you will feel pretty good.”

“I’m Still Hungry, directed by Hiddink, who was in charge of the Korean national team in 2002. (I’m still hungry) I think the most appropriate word. Can’t be satisfied here. As I said before, my goal is to advance to the first division.”

“Haha… . If so, when will that hunger be satisfied?”

“I do not know. I don’t know if the day will come when this hunger will be satisfied. As long as you have a goal, you will have to run to reach it.”

“It’s a fairly broad and far-sighted goal. If so, what do you miss the most in your current situation?”

“There are no regrets. But I’m not satisfied. I’m always just hoping for a little bit better.”



“Then, if this season is over and a new season begins in the second division, will Hamburg experience a major change?”

“I do not know. There may not be as much change as you think. It would be retooling rather than rebuilding.”

Through a few questions, Max Richter never thought that Song Jae-jin was as rudimentary or reckless as a media outlet.

And towards the end of the interview, Max Richter posed some of the most controversial questions.

“There is a lot of talk about Niccolò Robertio right now. Can you tell us something about this player?”

And this was also the question Song Jae-jin intended. It was because he had to go and express his intention at least once anyway, and he hoped that his wording or content would be delivered as it is. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ;

So, even when we received the pre-interview questionnaire and discussed it, we negotiated without any restrictions such as the transfer market or Nicolo.

“Nicolo Robertio. He’s a good player. He still has to adapt to the Bundesliga, but what is clear is that he will be a player who will be loved by many fans after he has adapted. Of course, you know what the situation is right now. But what I have to say is that I believe not only in Niccolo, but also in my players at Hamburg.”

“It’s a good part of the trust in the players. As the transfer market approaches recently, fans must be curious about the transfer. Do you have anything to say about him?”

The best thing was to hear the story from the manager and director himself.

I have a plan. Links are coming out with some players and so on.

‘If possible, mentioning the player’s name would be a big hit, but it’s unlikely to happen.’

Song Jae-jin answered the reporter’s question with a deep smile.

“Hamburg have no intention of signing anyone in the transfer window this winter. It’s literally withdrawal. We will keep this squad the same and we will fight for the second division.”

“Yeah?”

Max Richter asked if he had misunderstood Song Jae-jin’s answer.

It was because it was an incomprehensible statement to withdraw without making an attempt to sign in the winter transfer window during the most important period.

In particular, no matter how high they are now, there is still less than half of the season left, and this was enough to change the rankings.

It was because other teams did not pass through the transfer market without reinforcements.

In the case of other teams that are in the promotion right now, there are links with various players with the goal of being promoted unconditionally, and some teams have already succeeded in signing them.

“Are you sure?”

Max Richter was a fan of Hamburg before he was a journalist, so he asked in a worried voice.

It was because he wondered what would happen if he failed to get promoted again.

“I also said it in the last Mflix documentary last season. If you watch, you will know. Where will Hamburg be at the end of this season?”

Song Jae-jin once again threw a controversial topic through an interview.

[Hamburg utilizes existing players rather than signing players in the winter transfer market. The internal policy was set in the direction of saving the team’s chemistry, and Song Jae-jin, general manager and manager, said clearly that there would be no signing of Hamburg in this transfer window.]

And, as Song Jae-jin expected, as soon as the article went out, many media outlets covered the news about Hamburg’s withdrawal from the transfer market.

[Declaration of withdrawal from the Hamburg transfer window!][Is it arrogance or confidence? The decision of the novice general manager and director.][The vain dream of a novice coach to achieve promotion without recruiting additional players.][The Christmas break in Hamburg that was blown away. The transfer window is closed and there are 18 matches remaining.]

– Are you nervous?

– Still, maybe you should have signed defense or midfield?

– No money? Or are you really confident?

– I shouldn’t have failed in promotion by shivering with arrogance.

– Trust me. It was like that last season when we succeeded in staying with 5 games left.

– Even so. It’s different then and now!

– Anyway, the transfer window is closed, so we’ll see. What if I’m anxious?

In this way, the media’s attention is focused on King Mohammed’s takeover of the club and the extraordinary appointment of Song Jae-jin, a novice general manager and manager.

And in conjunction with Song Jae-jin’s unconventional moves, it attracted an unusually large amount of attention.

Song Jae-jin turned off the news window full of Hamburg and his name and turned his gaze to the squad.

“Have you all seen the news?”

“Yeah!”

“There are no signings in the transfer window this winter. I think you guys are enough, but the media thinks that you alone will not be able to prepare for promotion and beyond.”

Song Jae-jin spoke with her playful voice.

“Am I wrong? Or is the media wrong?”

“The press! Aren’t we the 1st in the league right now? You can!”

“Then shall we start training?”

When there was an external enemy called the media that constantly harassed the team, the players began to unite.

It was because the players themselves came to the team hoping for promotion to the 2nd division, not Hamburg to continue their 3rd division life.

3.liga has a total of 38 rounds.

At the end of the current 20th round, the Christmas holidays were over and the 21st round was just around the corner, so the mood of the squad was better than ever.

Because the mindset of breaking all media expectations and getting promoted to the second division was shared among the players.

And Song Jae-jin’s training was always hard.

“Do you think you can just get promoted to that level? more! more!”

He rolled the players so harshly that he wondered how the next game would be played.


However, that didn’t mean they continued to roll harshly on all players.

Players who are likely to get injured with their skills turned on all the time were excluded from the pre-training and received recovery training or treatment.

“Sebastian Koch! Go get a massage! That’s it for today!”

“I can do more!”

“I’m not saying you can’t stop. The hamstrings are too high. Then comes the hamstrings. Go get a massage. Now is the time to relax rather than train.”

The training was harsh, but thanks to his skills, he was able to recognize the injuries or abnormalities of the players in advance, and gave the players timely rest and checked their individual status.

Setastian Koch followed Song Jae-jin’s words to receive a massage, even though he did not feel any discomfort in his thighs.

“where?”

Now familiar with the situation, the masseuse asked Sebastian Koch, who was lying on the massage bed.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“A hamstring.”

“Well. The hamstrings are raised a lot. It’s really cool. If I had worked out a little harder, my hamstrings could have risen.”

“Yeah? Really?”

The massage trainer continued the recovery stretch and said curiously.

“How do you know before it hurts like this? It’s really weird eyes. I have envious eyes.”

Sebastian Koch shook his head as if he didn’t understand the masseuse’s answer.

His own coach was full of the incomprehensible.

He wasn’t without complaints, though, when he came on a third tier loan on the recommendation of an agent after he was out of a spot at Holstein Kiel.

He was not given a proper opportunity for reasons other than his skill, so he thought he could play in the third division Hamburg.

And when he returned on loan he was thinking of looking for another team.

‘If Hamburg gets promoted to the second division, wouldn’t it be okay to stay in Hamburg?’

I’ve been thinking about this a lot these days.

As coach Song Jae-jin said, he selected players according to his attitude at the training ground.

That’s why he was able to play in a lot of games after loan, and the situation is now quite satisfactory.

It was simply because he felt that he was improving his skills through his training, not just playing a lot.

It was the thought that if he was under director Song Jae-jin, he would be able to fully recognize his worth and realize his big dream.

[Hamburg 23rd round defeat against Fortuna Cologne 3-1!][How will the first defeat of the season affect Hamburg?][Season 2 wins in a row! Hamburg SV who also lost round 24!][25 round draw! 7 points, the difference between 2nd place and 2nd place!][Song Jae-jin, who never stops changing tactics in the game! Is he also underperforming as a manager?][Since the first defeat, 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses.]

As Hamburg lost 4 times in the second half of the season and the gap between second place and points narrowed to 5 points, the media began to talk with excitement as if they had been waiting.

It’s as if they don’t want Hamburg to be promoted to the second division.
