2007, August 11, evening, Sebena Training Base. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the club's press conference hall, Gao Han, who appeared at Sebena's press conference for the first time as the head coach of Bayern Munich, announced the list of the team's home game against Rostock tomorrow in front of many media reporters.

Ribery, Robben, Modric, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Hummels, Lucio, Neuer and other players who are reused by the cold are all in the squad without exception, and players such as Klose, Aguero, Van Bommel and Marcelo are also among them, which did not surprise media reporters.

What they want to know more is what specific thoughts Gao Han has for the other seven Bundesliga games that ended an hour ago, and what are his plans for tomorrow's game against Rostock?

The opening match of the Bundesliga season took place yesterday as defending champions Stuttgart host Schalke Zero.

The whole game was very intense and fast-paced, and in this intense fast-paced game, both teams made a lot of mistakes, and Schalke had better luck in the first half, a shot that hit the Stuttgart defender, changed direction and scored a goal.

But it was Stuttgart's start to the second half when the much-admired youngster Khedira stepped up at crucial moments to equalise for Stuttgart, before the hosts scored another goal five minutes later to tie the scores.

But in the 76th minute, Croatian teenager Rakitic scored a goal for Schalke 04 to equalize the score.

In the end, the two teams drew 2-2.

Regarding such a result, Gao Han said that it was a wonderful opening match.

'Both teams have shown a very high level, they have been very good, they have shown that they have what it takes to win the league and it reminds us that we have to give our all in every game to have a chance of winning. ”

In addition to Stuttgart's 04-0 draw with Schalke, Bochum's 2-2 draw at home to Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen's 0-0 draw at home to Cottagebus were somewhat surprising, especially for Bayer Leverkusen.

Pharmaceutical companies have also invested a lot this season, but judging from the team's performance, the investment does not seem to translate into the competitiveness of the team, whether it is from the preseason or from the first round of the league, Bayer Leverkusen has not shown satisfactory strength.

Hamburg beat Hannover 96 1-0 away, but it was a bit of a surprise that Wolfsburg, who had stepped up their efforts this season, lost 3-1 at home to Bielefeld after narrowly avoiding relegation last season.

Equally surprising was Borussia Dortmund's 3-1 defeat to Duisburg and Eintracht Frankfurt's 1-0 win over Hertha Berlin, making it an upset in the seven games that have been played in the first round of the new season.

Gao Han's evaluation of this is that the overall strength of the Bundesliga is rising.

"We all know that after the glory of the beginning of the century, the Bundesliga began to sink, and there has been no satisfactory performance in the past few years, especially after 2001, no team in the Bundesliga has reached the last four of the Champions League, and even in the Europa League standings, the Bundesliga has been overtaken by Ligue 1 and reduced to the fifth league in Europe. ”

What Gao Han said is basically the general consensus of Germany.

The decline of the Bundesliga is inseparable from the bankruptcy of the Kirsch group, but it is not a reason or excuse for the decline of the league, especially when the Bundesliga has now fallen to the point of fifth place in Europe.

"But I would say that over the last few years, the operators of the Bundesliga have done a good job of transformation, there has been a considerable improvement in terms of finances, they have become more pragmatic, and after the accumulation of the last few years, by this season, I have seen in the Bild newspaper before, that the Bundesliga has invested more than 200 million euros in transfers, which is a new record in the history of the Bundesliga. ”

The media present were a little amused after hearing this, because of the investment of more than 200 million euros, Bayern Munich alone reached 120 million euros, accounting for 60%, while the other 17 teams invested the remaining 40%.

Everyone can see that Bayern Munich is a lone team.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the Bundesliga giants only finished fourth in the league last season, and the team is in desperate need of reorganization.

The Bundesliga is recovering, as can be seen from pre-season ticket sales.

So far, the Bundesliga's 18 teams have sold more than 370,000 season tickets, making it by far the best-selling season ticket of any league in Europe.

"Mr. Gao Han, I agree with what you said, the Bundesliga is indeed recovering, but I would like to know what role do you think Bayern Munich will play in the whole process of the Bundesliga recovery? Because we know that Bayern Munich has invested 120 million euros this season, accounting for 60% of the total investment in the Bundesliga. A reporter asked, standing up.

"Thank you for your question. Gao Han nodded politely and smiled.

"I would like to say that Bayern Munich is the most competitive team in the Bundesliga in Europe, and I believe that no one will deny that, and I think we should play a pioneering role in the whole process of the Bundesliga recovery, which is one of the most important tasks for me to come to Bayern Munich. ”

"The management of Bayern Munich has a lot of trust in me, they told me that Bayern Munich and the whole of German football are in dire need of a big change, and I hope that I can do what I can to contribute to Bayern Munich and German football. ”

"As for you saying that Bayern Munich is spending 60% of the total investment in the Bundesliga, I don't think it's a problem, we bring the best and the best stars, which greatly stimulates Bayern Munich's market and also improves the competitiveness of the Bundesliga teams in Europe, I don't think that's a problem. ”

"I would like to say that behind Bayern Munich's investment, there are enough strong financial resources to support it. ”

Those who are familiar with the Bundesliga know that Bayern Munich's income is not only leading the Bundesliga, but also not losing to Manchester United and Real Madrid in Europe, which is why Bayern Munich dares to invest more than 100 million euros in a season.

As for the other teams in the Bundesliga, I'm afraid it will take some time to accumulate.

"But, Mr. Takahan, I have a question. ”

"Well, excuse me. ”

"You say that Bayern Munich should be the forerunner of the change in German football, and according to what we have seen, Bayern Munich has been poaching the leading stars of other German teams in the past few years, from Ballack, who has left the team, to Van Bitten, to Podolski, and this season Klose and Neuer, do you think this is reasonable?"

As soon as the reporter's question was finished, there was some uproar at the scene.

Bayern Munich's rhetoric of hollowing out the Bundesliga has always existed, and even intensified this summer.

Gao Han stopped the club's press officer and motioned for the scene to be quiet, believing he could handle the scene.

"I can answer that question, please sit down first. ”

After the reporter sat down, Gao Han said unhurriedly: "First of all, I want to say that I don't know if this is a reasonable phenomenon, but in addition to the Bundesliga, the giants of the entire European top league are doing this, the top four teams in the Premier League, the three heroes in La Liga, and the teams in Serie A will also poach players from domestic league competitors." ”

"But on the flip side, we should look at it this way, why are Bundesliga teams willing to sell their star players to rivals like Bayern Munich, and why would they rather weaken themselves, strengthen their opponents, and sell their players?"

As soon as Gao Han's voice fell, the reporter who asked the question just now immediately shouted with a sneer, "Of course, it is Bayern Munich's shameless poaching." ”

There was a burst of laughter.

Gao Han couldn't help but laugh, but shook his head, "This is obviously unreasonable, you know, Ballack and other players are outstanding, there is no shortage of foreign teams interested, and even sometimes, foreign teams, especially some teams with stronger purchasing power, are willing to pay a higher price, but why would they want to sell to Bayern Munich?"

The reporter who had just sneered was speechless and speechless.

"The reason is simple, they think it is more secure to sell to Bayern Munich because it is a team from the same league. ”

"First of all, we should be clear that these teams need to sell players to get a decent transfer fee to put into the transfer market, and we all know that most transfer fees are paid in installments, as far as I know, in the past, Bundesliga teams sold players to other leagues, and they often faced a situation where after getting the first installment, the next few installments were repeatedly put on hold. ”

"I've heard that the most outrageous time is that the other party sold all the players, but the balance has not been paid, and finally had to file a complaint with UEFA, but the whole process is very troublesome, and even if UEFA makes an arbitration in the end, it may not be enforced, I believe this phenomenon should not be a special case, right?"

Many of the reporters present nodded their heads.

The reason why they didn't report it in the newspapers was because the fans weren't interested at all, they only cared about what the player's transfer fee was, who cares how many installments you have, did you receive the final payment?

But in European football, transfer fee disputes have always been the highlight of club conflicts.

And cross-league transactions are often due to different laws and rules between countries, and there are many troubles, which has not changed even now, when Europe has established the European Union.

Therefore, many players in the Bundesliga prefer to sell players to Bayern Munich for security reasons.

As for Bayern Munich's willingness to poach players from their home leagues, this is normal, as is the case with the big teams in all leagues, because this can avoid the problem of players not adapting to the problem and reduce the risk of investment for the club.

Gao Han's explanation is reasonable and convincing.

In the final analysis, Bayern Munich is just a professional team, and it is not in line with the laws of the market to make harsh demands on him because he is stronger than his competitors in other leagues.

What's more, Bayern Munich itself is already taking on the task of being a pioneer in the league.

Whether it is in the change of technical and tactical play, or the investment in youth training, this is the case.

"Mr. Gao Han, I'm from Kicker Magazine. ”

Gao Han nodded, "Excuse me." ”

"In keeping with the tradition of the Bundesliga, before the first round of each season, the managers of the 18 Bundesliga teams are asked to make predictions, including the league winners and their own results. ”

"Well, I've heard of this tradition. "The press officer said this before the press conference.

"To tell you the truth, we have interviewed the managers of the other 17 teams, and all of them believe that Bayern Munich will win the league because you have invested more than 100 million euros in the transfer market, which is more than the other 17 Bundesliga teams combined. ”

"Yes, you're right, so I'm very honoured to have such a squad and I'm sure it's hard to say anything like a top-three finish after all that investment. ”

When all the reporters present heard this, they were all excited.

Gao Han stood up from his seat, propped his hands on the podium, and looked firmly at the media reporter in front of him.

In an instant, the spotlight almost flashed.

"Yes, there is no doubt that we have only one goal, and that is to be the champion!"

The reporters were all excited.

"Not only the Bundesliga, but we also want to win the UEFA Cup and all the trophies that we can win. ”

The reporters were even more excited, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Next season, we will return to the Champions League and my team and I will make a complete change for everyone, all opponents against Bayern Munich, against the Bundesliga!"

In an instant, the entire press conference hall was in an uproar!
