Early in the morning, Hofmann, the president of the Hamburg club, met the club manager Reinhardt, who was also wearing a black circle. Seeing Reinhardt yawning, Hoffman asked, "Did that bastard Daniel call you at night too?" ”

Reinhardt said, "This old guy has been holding me for more than half an hour. ”

Hoffman said: "This old guy also told me for a long time, it's the first time in so many years like this, it's okay, I'll introduce this matter to you again, you call Moniz and Roldorf, call me when they arrive, and go to your office!" Let's talk about this Chinese, what is the name of it......"

"Chen ......," Reinhardt said, "Chinese name is Chen, and Daniel said that he used his English name when he signed up, which is called Patton, George Patton's Patton." ”

Hoffman shook his head and said, "Oh yes, George Patton, the George Patton who conquered Europe." ”

In May 2009, the Dutchman Joel announced his resignation without warning, leaving the top management scrambling, and finally Hoffmann overrode the public and appointed Rabadia, who had just halted Bayer Leverkusen's decline, as Hamburg's manager, and finally the result of last season was quite satisfactory, and Hamburg barely qualified for the Europa League as the top six.

Then, in the summer, due to a divergence of business ideas, club managers Beiersdorf and Hoffmann parted ways, and in the 2009-2010 season they invested a "huge investment" of 30 million euros! 30 million euros is nothing for a giant, but it is already a huge investment for a midstream club like Hamburg, and in such a huge investment season, the general manager of the club is actually Hamburg's retired central defender Reinhardt.

The German club system of the "company system + membership system" structure is completely different from the Italian "family system", but it is different from the pure "company system" in England that gives the head coach so much power, but the two important candidates of the coach and the head coach are personally appointed by Hoffmann, and they are both controversial candidates, which has made Hoffman questioned in the shareholders' meeting and the supervisory board.

It is not difficult to see that Hofmann is in control of the current Hamburg club, and club manager Reinhardt is just a pawn and a sounding board for him.

The two names mentioned by Hoffmann just now, Moniz is the director of the club of the Hamburg team and also serves as an assistant coach, and Roerdorf is Roldov Cardoso, the coach of the Hamburg reserve team. Spanwitz's old guy highly recommended "China's Barton".

"You've read this data, what do you think?" Hoffman asked.

The data is provided by Spanwitz, and one of the data analyzed by the Hamburg team in the past 5 years has been circled by Spanwitz, that is, in the past 5 years, the results of the Hamburg team in the first half of the season are better than the second half of the season, and in the average of each game in each season, the results of the Hamburg team in the first half are better than the results in the second half!

For example, in the first 4 seasons, the Hamburg team ranked in the top eight, at the mid-level level, but if you only look at the results of the first half of the season, the Hamburg team is in the top four! The same was true of this season, when the teams were accelerating in the middle of the season, Hamburg suddenly suffered a slump of two draws, five defeats and seven rounds, and although the winter break ended with two wins, this issue is worth paying attention to.

The same is true for the analysis of the first half, if the game is only played for 45 minutes, in the first 4 seasons of the first half of the points ranking, the Hamburg team is in the top three, and in the first half of this season, the first half of the points, the Hamburg team ranks first!

Needless to say? The data is there, clearly showing the shortcomings of the Hamburg team, and the stamina is insufficient!

A game is not enough, and a season is also not enough! Four and a half seasons in a row coincided with the time when Hoffmann was president of the club Hamburg.

It has to be said that Spanwitz's strong data analysis and focus are the key factors that make Hoffmann excited, and Spanwitz is also aware that they invested 30 million euros at the beginning of the season, and they do not have much financial resources and action in the transfer market during the winter break, so they sent a free transfer player.

Everything is so suitable, the right one can't refuse!

According to the recommendation of Spanwitz, this Chinese player named Chen Zhuo is the best person to make up for the shortcomings of the Hamburg team's "lack of stamina", and they even predict that after March this year, the Hamburg team may have a greater decline than in previous seasons, and the injury wave caused by the lack of rotation will be one reason, and the other reason is the head coach Labadia, who is young and lacks experience, and when the opponent changes formation within fifteen minutes of the game, he lacks countermeasures.

Hoffman agrees with both of these points, and Reinhardt, who is a player, Moniz, the director of Jishu, and Cardoso, the head coach of the reserve team, also agree after reading the data.

In the high-level, it is only the arrogant head coach Labadia who disagrees, of course, only disagrees with the second point, he thinks that he has no problem himself, but in some positions, the club has not made more and more reserves for him to choose according to his requirements, and he thinks that his helplessness is that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Of course, although Spanwitz sent Chinese players, he did not send Lei Feng. Spanwitz's conditions were a free transfer on a short-term contract of one and a half years, which expires at the end of the 2011 season.

In the terms, in the first season, the salary of the half-season is 100,000 euros, the monthly salary is 20,000 euros, and the bonus is additional, and the trial period is up to three months after the official selection of the first team, and the previous trial period in the reserve team is 200 euros per week, which is the minimum monthly salary of the reserve team.

There is no objection to this, the free transfer does not occupy the cost, and the 200 euro weekly salary during the trial period is not to cheat money, and playing in the lower leagues in the reserve team is not gilded. If it is really as Spanwitz's analysis, this Chinese can fill the "lack of stamina" this shortcoming, then the monthly salary of 20,000 euros, even if it is not the lowest, in the Bundesliga, that is, the middle and lower levels, is not cheap and ruthless!

The biggest price, that is, this Chinese will take a place for a non-EU player, that's all!

The second point of the clause, such as the transfer of the team in the second season and the request for a contract extension, should be paid at least 2 million euros. Everyone thinks this is okay, and if you are not willing to pay 2 million euros, then allow him to transfer! The agent is supposed to help the player negotiate the salary, and if the player plays well, maybe the agent will have to talk about more!

If a player transfers at the end of the first season, Spanwitz and the club will split the player's transfer fee between five or five, and in the second season, four or six, with Spanwitz 40% and Hamburg 60%, if Hamburg wants to renew the contract......

Hoffman basically doesn't want to read the rest of the content, his meaning is very simple, just sign according to this content, and then throw the player into the reserve team to adapt to the German league, let Cardoso, Moniz and Reinhardt do more to observe and guide to see if this player has the ability of "savior" as Spanwitz said!

It is expected that the player can be officially in place in mid-February, and can adapt to the reserve team for two weeks before the end of the month, and then arrange for the player to participate in the training and confrontation of the first team every week, and Moniz will make a special data analysis report for this player, and another month, that is, what Spanwitz called the "explosive period" of the decline in performance in March, if the Chinese can really be on top at that time, the benefit for the Hamburg team is by no means the value of 100,000 euros!

As for the renewal of the contract, Hoffman did not think about it, what the Chinese can do, the Weishenme Germans can't do! Hiring a "firefighter" with a cheap salary of 100,000 euros and zero transfer fee, and then selling a good price and getting a 50% transfer fee, for the Hamburg club, this decision, the shareholders' meeting and the supervisory board cannot have any objections!

Basically, Hoffman didn't consult with them, but assigned tasks.

But to Caraso and Moniz, it sounded like the least outrageous of Hoffman's many things.

It's just that for this Chinese, who claim to be able to make up for the shortcomings of the Hamburg team's "lack of stamina", Caraso, Moniz, and club manager Reinhardt have a strong interest.

Of course, there is also the most important reason for them to ignore whether this Chinese really has that kind of strength.

Because the Chinese player operated by Spanwitz is just an "add-on", the real "pie" is the king of the small penalty area transferred from Real Madrid through his operation, Van Nistelrooy! And it's a free transfer, and you don't have to pay a dollar for euros or dollars.

Although he is already 34 years old, his basic physical fitness and consciousness are still there, coupled with Fanny's influence in Quan Shijie, there must be no disadvantages for Hamburg, free transfer, too cost-effective business!

So, with Vanney's meal, what does it matter if the Chinese player who is the head of the game has the strength that Spanwitz said?

It's just that the old guy Spanwitz is very strange, between the "dinner" and "the head", between Fanny and the Chinese player, he actually pays more attention to the latter!

If the Chinese player is eighteen or nineteen years old, he has a lot of talent and potential, just like the three Korean lads in the Hamburg reserve team now, especially the player named Sun Hanmin, who is only eighteen years old, whether it is to keep it for himself or sell it at a high price.

But the Chinese player on the information is 29 years old! If it weren't for the fact that he had known Spanwitz for many years and worked together many times, if it weren't for the premise of Ruud van Nistelrooy's free transfer, Hoffman would have thought that this old man was crazy!

Probably after the financial crisis, the whole Shijie's pockets have deflated, only the reason why the Chinese are getting richer, and now a large number of teams are buying Chinese players to attract the attention of the Chinese, which is not a bad thing from a business point of view.

At least for Hoffman, he has nothing to lose.
