Chapter 142

Today’s information

[Sebastian Kiefer is the mental captain of the Hamburg players and he gets along well with the players.]

“Yeah?”

Rolf Khan, who was called to the supervisor’s office, did not understand Song Jae-jin’s question properly and asked again.

“Well, I’m giving you a choice. Why don’t you start playing as a defensive midfielder?”

“Are you a defensive midfielder?”

As he has played most of the game as central defense so far, it was difficult for Rolf Khan to respond readily to Song Jae-jin’s remarks.

“Personally speaking, I intend to fill the third central midfield position in the 3-5-2 formation with Niccolo Robertio and Walter Giller Rolf Khan Janée.”

To be honest, he felt that his skills didn’t suit him for a start in the first division.



But whatever his skills as a footballer, Rolf Kahn’s goal was to survive in the first division and play in the Champions League.

However, he did not want to give up because his skills were not good enough, so he always did his best in training and ran with all his might.

“So, am I going to mate with Niccolò Robertio?”

“To be precise, it would be a role like Pirlo and Gattuso in AC Milan.”

“More than now.”

“That answer is enough. I will play as a defensive midfielder. However, I think it will take time to change positions and work properly with Nicolo Robertio.”

“Of course you have to take that into consideration.”

“Then I will do my best as much as you entrust me.”

Rolf Khan closed his mouth when he saw Jae-Jin Song accepting after finishing exactly what he had to say.

As long as he was a player, he had to adapt to his position on his team according to what the manager told him to do.

[Congratulations. You will come up to this place.]

Brian Nichols called Song Jae-jin ahead of the new season.

“Thank you.”

[Thank you, it’s all your ability. To be honest, I knew I had this kind of ability, but I didn’t expect it to be this fast. haha.]

“Isn’t Newcastle doing well these days?”

[It goes well, but every day is a series of tensions. If you miss even one match, you’ll go straight down to the Europa spot or below. After all, you will feel it now.]

“It doesn’t seem like it’s already been easy one by one.”

[Nucksal is won. Still, I think you can do well. See you in the Champions League after next year, let’s do our best.]

“I won’t look at you.”

[Uh-huh. That’s fun. Don’t expect me too. And I hope to see you in the Champions League final if possible. Competing for the top spot is exciting. Especially between you and me.]

“right.”

At the words of coach Nichols, Song Jae-jin also felt goosebumps when he drew the Champions League final stage.

[If you need help, feel free to contact me. Of course, I don’t know if there’s anything I need help with.]

After the call with Brian Nichols ended, Song Jae-jin opened a hologram window.

The position of head coach and director was a position where he could never waste his time.

From squad management, coach management, transfers, releases, rentals, meetings with directors, meetings with President Soriano, tactics, training and money management.

It was because there were not one or two places to be concerned about.

And the part I’m most concerned about right now was the contract renewal negotiations with the players.

This is because players big and small from Francis Kloska and Niccolò Robertio are receiving offers from big clubs.

And at such an unimaginable amount.

[Completed a five-year contract renewal with Nicolo Robertio Hamburg.][Francis Kloska is certain to renew his contract with Hamburg. ‘My place is in Hamburg.’][Large players who do not leave Hamburg. What is there in Hamburg?]

However, as if to ridicule the concerns of those around them, most of the players were in favor of the renewal, and the players that Song Jae-jin personally selected and taught signed a new contract with Hamburg.

It was determined that now was not the time to leave the team.

Ahead of the full-fledged Bundesliga opening, each media released their predictions for this season’s Bundesliga.

By far the top places are Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Leipzig.

It was followed by Hoffenheim, Schalke, Leverkusen and Wolfsburg, followed by Hamburg in 15th place.

It was only two spaces higher than the 17th and 18th places in the relegation zone.

The reason for being ranked 15th is because of a manager named Song Jae-jin, who lacks experience in the first division.

They did great in the 2nd and 3rd divisions, but it was written that they would be judged by their leadership in the 1st division.

In addition, he cited the fact that he did not properly recruit players even after promotion to the first division and that there were few players who had experienced the first division properly as weaknesses.

Hamburg’s weakness in particular is the defense.

It was because Sebastian Kiefer’s aging skills had deteriorated and his new signing, Petar Vidic, had yet to show his performance.

And on August 18, 2035, the first round of the Bundesliga will take place.

Hamburg’s opponent was SV Werder Bremen, an opponent of North Derby representing northern Germany.

As Germany’s only three city-states and the only free city, the rivalry between the two cities was very strong.

As such, the Nord Derby was as fierce and fierce as the Levir Derby (Dortmund and Schalke derby).

The derby that had been going on since 1981 came to a halt when Hamburg were relegated to the second division at the end of the 2017-18 season, but as Hamburg promoted again, the fierce battle began again.

“It’s just a good game.”

Song Jae-jin said it was good in a meeting before the game.

“It will have a bigger impact as it is a result of a match that no one is paying attention to.”

“Isn’t it better to go safely?”

However, unlike Song Jae-jin’s smiling expression, the coach’s expression was very shaky.

It was because of the expected starting list that Song Jae-jin put on the board.

4-3-1-2

Attacking: Francis Kloska and Andrew Graham.

The midfield line was centered on Niccolo Robertio, Rolf Kahn and Walter Giller, while the defense had the names of Sebastian Kiefer, Sebastian Koch and Petar Vidic.

The important thing was that the current formation 4-3-1-2 was a tactic that Hamburg had never shown before.

“If you pursue safety, in the end, all you can do is set back or regress.”

“Still, Petar Vidic is still unstable.”

“It’s something to be aware of. And everyone knows how hard Petar is in training, and you know how Hamburg’s starting pitch is now.”

What worries the coaches even more is that the first match in the first division will be a home match against Werder Bremen in the Nord Derby.

Werder Bremen manager Tim Sharp looked at the reporters with a pitiful expression.

“I don’t know when Hamburg is really Hamburg. Werder Bremen survived in the first tier while Hamburg was struggling to get to the second or even third tier.”

Perhaps because it was the first derby match in 20 years, Team Sharp thought it went well.

“Well, in a way, he is a good opponent for the opening game. Anyway, since it’s a derby match, a big win in the match would be a great start to the season, wouldn’t it?”

It was only a remark to devalue Hamburg, which had only just been promoted, but reporters asked questions with rejoicing.

And coach Tim Sharp’s remarks were intentional enough.

I thought that I could not get tired of a team that had barely made it to the first division, and at the same time, I wanted to step on Hamburg so that I would never bring up the name of a rival again.

In addition to that, it would also help to boost the morale of the squad for this season’s Europa spot.

“Are you confident that you will win a great victory against Hamburg?”

“Yeah. Enough. Are there any players in Hamburg who have experienced the first division properly? I withdrew from the transfer market without even making a proper signing, but the pride of general manager and manager Song Jae-jin will soon return to poison.”

“Who the fuck made the schedule?”

“do not know! damn! Isn’t that red fever?”

A fellow cop ran to catch a supporter who took the flame from his arms before the match even started, and the fan threw the flame and fled.

“Damn it. Whoever wins, loses, or draws is a bitch.”

The police, who came to the Weserstadion, the home stadium of Werder Bremen for the derby match between Hamburg and Werder Bremen, were dazzled by the fans as if they were about to fight right away.

It wasn’t just one thought. Several hooligans have already been disbanded outside the arena, and attempts to lynch them have been detected.

The derby match was just that.

Especially for Hamburg fans, this derby match was a match that had to be won unconditionally to wash away the ridicule and slander they had heard during their fights in the lower leagues.

[The stadium is quite noisy. Even before the match, Werder Bremen manager Tim Schaff delivered a powerful provocation against Hamburg.][Maybe that’s why the cheers of Hamburg can be heard even in this stadium full of Werder Bremen fans.]

Perhaps it was because they were being provoked by a rival team, the few Hamburg fans who came to the expedition were raising their voices as best as they could so that the players did not die.

[But well. I think Werder Bremen might have a bit of an edge.][For what reason?][There are many reasons. Personally, I think that director Song Jae-jin can be a good director. But if you look at the current situation, Petar Vidick and the defense are still putting a question mark on them. And he hired Rolf Kahn as a defensive midfielder. And the use of three central defenders at back four.][You mean too experimental?][Yeah. It’s literally like experimenting with tactics in the league’s first round derby match. If it is, then it is only natural that compared to Werder Bremen, which maintains the existing tactics and matches well, the weight seems relatively low.

‘Sebastian Kiefer is old and often slows down and is often pushed back in physical fights. So he should try to break the line often against Hamburg’s defense.’

‘And Petar Vidick and Sebastian Koch are players with brains that are physically superior.’

Werder Bremen forward Maximilian Gross thought as he looked at the Hamburg defense.

‘These are players who don’t fit into the first division. I don’t know if it’s ripe yet.’

So I thought Hamburg’s defense could easily break through.

[Maximilian Gross! I use the pitch wide by throwing the ball wide to the side.][You’re smart. Hamburg’s defense has a question mark and there were many opinions that it does not suit the first division.]

“uh?”

But Maximilian Gross had no choice but to raise his doubts.

It was because the defenders, who should have rushed like crazy bulls according to the analysis, kept their positions and maintained the correct spacing between the defenses.

“Press 10 times!”

And Sebastian Keeper, who was in charge of left defense, was adjusting the defensive line as a commander instead of looking like a fighter like before.

[Petar Vidic! Block Werder Bremen’s attack! Hamburg’s counterattack chance!]

‘Honestly, it’s true that your physical is not as good as it used to be.’

Sebastian Keeper paired up with Petar Vidic to defend the rear instead of running forward even during counterattacks.

‘Instead, you have an advantage that others don’t.’

“Football intelligence, brain, and skill.”

Sebastian Keeper looked wide at the field, muttering what Song Jae-jin said.

“Petar! Keep the line!”

And he prepared for a counterattack situation by restraining Petar Vidick, who continued to move in the direction of the ball.

“What?”

Werder Bremen coach Tim Schaff felt alienated from the Hamburg he knew.

“Have you strengthened your defensive tactics? It looks like you’ve put a lot of effort into it.”

Tim Sharp, however, buried the uneasy feeling in his heart.

It was thanks to his firm belief that he would never be a Hamburger.
