Chapter 81: The Best Place to Start
After listening to Lu Wenbin's answer, everyone thought about it, but Claire said that she would only consider signing him if Lu Wenbin led Meijiang Middle School to win the championship.
If Meijiang Middle School can't win the championship, then there is no point in everyone discussing Hoffenheim now, maybe people don't want Lu Wenbin!
As a result, everyone stopped talking about the topic.
However, some people are still curious about Hoffenheim's boss Dietmar Hope reimbursing Lu Wenbin's parents for 10,000 yuan of air tickets and accommodation in advance without signing a contract.
This style is a little inconsistent with the temperament of Hoffenheim's country club, and it has a bit of a local tyrant feeling. (Ming Qiao's note: 10,000 yuan in 2007 is still very purchasing power compared to 10 years later.) )
Therefore, someone asked Lu Wenbin to search for Dietmar Hope to see who the Hoffenheim owner and club president really was.
As a result, the information searched out this time shocked everyone again.
However, this time it was not a disappointment, but a surprise.
It turns out that although Hoffenheim is a dick and a country club, their owner Dietmar Hope is not a dick, but a Forbes super-rich.
According to information disclosed on the Internet, Hoffenheim owner Dietmar Hoppe is one of the co-founders of SAP, Europe's largest software company, and is worth more than $6 billion, making him the richest man in German football.
He has invested in Hoffenheim for more than a decade, and the reason why Hoffenheim FC only finished in the Bundesliga this year is because Hoppe's football philosophy is very different from that of Chelsea owner Roman Ablasimovich.
Abu is keen to buy big-name stars and invite big-name coaches, and he needs immediate results. Hope, on the other hand, focused on investing in the club's hardware and software facilities and the construction of youth football echelons.
Therefore, although Hope also spent nearly 200 million euros at the club, Hoffenheim was promoted to the Bundesliga this year and was not famous.
The main reason is that Hope's investment is in hardware and software facilities and the development of youth teams.
According to sporadic information on the Internet, although Hoffenheim is currently only a country club, they have the best training facilities in Germany, sports medicine team, etc., and the level of advancement can be comparable to Bayern Munich.
Hope is also building a 30,000-capacity football stadium called the Rhein Neckar Arena as the club's home stadium for future promotion to the Bundesliga.
It can be said that Hope has put the investment in software and hardware ahead of the team's results. Therefore, Hoffenheim was only promoted to the Bundesliga this year, and Lu Wenbin and others have never heard the name of this club.
After reading Dietmar Hope's introduction, no one in the room suggested that Lu Wenbin join Tianjin TEDA.
Joining such a Bundesliga club with advanced software and hardware facilities comparable to Bayern Munich and backed by super-rich people is obviously much better than starting in China.
Moreover, looking at the actions of owner Dietmar Hoppe and the move to build the Rhein-Neckar Arena in advance, Hoffenheim's goal this year is definitely not relegation, and the future end is not the Bundesliga, but a bigger stage.
Lu Wenbin's joining such a young, energetic and rising team is actually at the right time.
Just now, those players who felt that Hoffenheim was not as good as the Central B team and persuaded Lu Wenbin to give up Hoffenheim felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Wenbin himself was quite lucky, fortunately he didn't show his contempt for Hoffenheim just now, otherwise it would be a little embarrassing now.
At the moment, Hoffenheim really seems to be a club for their debut in Europe.
With few audiences, low pressure, advanced hardware and software facilities, and the backing of the wealthy, the prospects are broad, and it is very suitable as a starting point for your career.
The club that the system chose for him now seems to be too suitable.
That night, Lu Wenbin had a dream that he joined Hoffenheim, led Hoffenheim to the Bundesliga, and then won the Bundesliga championship in the first season, staging the Huocun miracle that shocked the world......
Just when Lu Wenbin and others were talking about Hoffenheim and Dietmar Hope in the hotel, those spectators who heard Claire's invitation to Lu Wenbin at the stadium also broke the news they heard to reporters, which caused the excitement of countless reporters.
Since the humiliating exit of the 2002 World Cup and the loss of the championship at home in the 2004 Asian Cup, the performance and image of Chinese football have declined rapidly, and even become the target of ridicule and scolding by fans across the country.
Now, a high school amateur player who has never experienced formal training has not only been recognized by ten domestic clubs through the national high school league, but also won the invitation of the German second club, which is definitely a shot in the arm and big news of Chinese football!
Even many Chinese Super League stars and big-name international players have not been able to get the opportunity to stay abroad, but a high school amateur player got it, which is definitely big news that can be on the front page!
Major newspapers, websites, and television stations quickly followed up, contacting and interviewing viewers who had heard Claire's invitation to Lu Wenbin at the stadium at the time, and at the same time inquiring about Hoffenheim and Dietmar Hoppe.
Then, when the Hoffenheim club and Dietmar Hoppe's profile was put in front of the editors, everyone was even more excited.
The Bundesliga, Country Club, Forbes Rich, Chinese high school amateur players, these keywords are linked, and it is difficult not to become big news!
So, the day after the semi-finals, on the morning of August 24, when Lu Wenbin and others got up and went downstairs for breakfast, the two beauties at the front desk talked about Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin looked at himself inexplicably, there was nothing abnormal?
Because they have lived here for more than ten days, everyone is familiar with it, so Lu Wenbin asked: "Sister Lan, Sister Chen, what are you saying bad things about me?" ”
The beautiful woman surnamed Lan on the left smiled and said: "Lu Wenbin, you are in the newspaper and have become a star!" ”
Lu Wenbin said in surprise: "What newspaper?" ”
Another beauty surnamed Chen said: "It's a lot, you can see for yourself!" ”
After speaking, the beautiful woman surnamed Chen picked up a stack of newspapers from the backstage and handed it to Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin took the newspaper and flipped through it.
Nie Yingkun, Han Dapeng and others, who went downstairs together, also put their heads up, ready to see what newspaper Lu Wenbin had published and what was written in the newspaper.
