In the past six Bundesliga seasons, Hamburg has ranked third in the Bundesliga and participated in the European Champions Cup, but it has been out of the group stage. Its lowest ranking is eighth. On average, its overall performance is at the level of fourth and fifth in the Bundesliga. In general, it is not bad, This is why Hamburg's investment before each season is higher than the average level of the Bundesliga overall transfer market, which will make the fans full of expectations, but they are disappointed that there is no great progress in the ranking at the end of the season.
Far from it, Hamburg's performance fell last season. The League ranked fifth in the previous season and fell to seventh in the league. It may seem that the ranking has only dropped two places, but if you look at the gap in the table carefully, Hamburg was only 8 points away from the champion Wolfsburg at the end of the 2009 season!
But Hamburg last season was 18 points behind champion Bayern Munich!
One of the reasons for the team's failure last season was the high-level civil strife, which is too common in the world football world. The contradiction between Chairman Hoffman and manager Beiersdorf triggered high-level unrest. Finally, Beiersdorf left angrily because Hoffman dismissed labadia he supported.
Before looking for a new manager in Hamburg, the team manager is also the club and needs to quickly arrange new positions. Unlike the structure of other clubs in Europe, German clubs can not be privately controlled because it is expressly stipulated that the private holding shares are up to 49%, and the club itself owns 51%, that is, to ensure that the club can not become the private property of an individual or a group, Therefore, the power structure of the club often needs to be reasonable and complete at all times. The club also has a board of directors and a board of supervisors composed of members and fans. Generally speaking, German clubs still give full play to the rigor of Germany.
Both Samuel and bierhoff, Hoffman's favorite, refused his invitation successively. In Germany, it seems that anyone with a little fame is unwilling to work under Hoffman for fear of being deprived of autonomy.
At the end of May, Hoffman appointed former player Bastian Reinhart who had no management experience as sports manager.
Hamburg fans are naturally dissatisfied with this, but perhaps they have nothing to say about Hoffman. They can only hope that the board of directors will not renew Hoffman's contract next summer. As long as the board of directors votes against the renewal, Hoffman will leave the position of chairman next summer.
On the morning of June 4, Reinhart, who had just taken office, was conscientious. He had to work at the club early in the morning. The renewal of players and the negotiation in the transfer market could not stop no matter who the new manager was and when he came.
But as soon as he drove away from home, he received a call from Chairman Hoffman. He turned to Hoffman's house to pick up the chairman, and then went to Sofitel altwall hotel.
When Reinhart's car drove into the hotel parking lot, the reporter squatting outside was keenly aware that something unusual would happen.
Hamburg is the media capital of Germany. Major media in the country have set up headquarters in Hamburg, with more than 10000 media related companies!
It's almost impossible to hide anything here.
The traditional media industry has released news, and it is difficult for the program to suddenly broadcast the news of catching wind and shadow, but the Internet media in the new era has fried the pot!
"Hamburg sports manager Reinhart's car drove into the Sofitel altwall hotel! Situ Yunbing lives here! "
"Hamburg club may be brewing shocking news!"
"Will Hoffman surprise Hamburg fans?"
Who knows how Hoffman and Reinhart are feeling now.
Reinhardt has just retired. Even if he puts on his shirt and plays, he doesn't have much problem, so he is energetic.
The car had been parked in the parking lot for more than a minute, but neither of them got off.
"Isn't this a joke?"
Reinhart looked at Hoffman with doubt.
The whole world knows that situ Yunbing resigned from Monaco. There are many speculations about his next stop, but there is no practical basis.
Although Hoffman was over 50, he looked very young. At this time, he frowned and hesitated.
"I don't know if it's an oolong. No one can help me verify whether the person who called me is him."
"He called you? Didn't you invite him? "
"My God, I'm going to invite a coach who just won the Champions League and swept France? Who can give me this courage? "
Reinhart was dazed and asked, "did he take the initiative to be the coach of Hamburg?"
Hoffman nodded and said, "that's what he said on the phone. He asked me if Hamburg was looking for a new manager? I said yes, he said he wanted to apply. When did the Champions League coach have to find a job by himself? "
Reinhart was more confused and said, "didn't the rich invite him?"
Hoffman said casually: "I thought so, but after going back to do some homework, I found that he may not be invited by the giants in the Premier League. There is no need for the giants in the Premier League. Manchester United and Arsenal cannot change their managers. Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti is also the coach of the Champions League, and he won the league title just last year. Manchester City, the fourth in the Premier League, changed its manager six months ago, Mancini did well, at least leading Manchester City into the Champions League next season.
Serie A giants Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho leaves office, but how can they invite situ Yunbing? Roma, the second place, has made great progress. If the club dismisses the coach, it must be crazy. AC Milan heard that they are talking with Allegri. It is estimated that they were frightened by major coach Leonardo last season. It goes without saying that in La Liga, Real Madrid hired Mourinho. Guardiola was so successful in Barcelona. As for the third and fourth place team in La Liga, I think they must be very satisfied to reach the Champions League next season. Anyway, the La Liga championship has nothing to do with them and there is no need to toss.
As for the team in our league, Magath led Schalke 04 to the runner up and made remarkable progress. Van Gaal led the team to the championship. Heinks also did well in Leverkusen. Schaff has worked in Werder Bremen for so many years. Who will invite him?
Lyon is the most famous club in the open invitation to him, but he doesn't seem to be interested. "
Leinha nodded and sighed, "then we're lucky!"
Hoffman pushed the door and got off. When he walked to the elevator, he said, "who knows, he is a mysterious Chinese. We don't know the Chinese way of thinking. Maybe he needs a challenge. Maybe he has something we don't know about in Monaco. In a word, these are not important. If this is a prank, I will push the boat with the current, He was invited to be Hamburg manager face to face, but he refused, and we would leave. If it wasn't a prank... "
Hoffman himself could not imagine that if everything was true, it would be the luckiest and most incredible day since he became chairman of Hamburg.
When Hoffman and Reinhart knocked open the noble suite where situ Yunbing stayed, they saw the scene in the house with a look of astonishment.
The design style of this hotel is minimalist, giving people a modern avant-garde but clean and concise sense of comfort, but now the sofa in the living room has been pushed to the corner. The TV in the closet plays the game video of Hamburg last season. In front of the closet, there is a large blackboard with the names of some hamburger players written on it. Some people have a tick on the back, but some have a cross!
The tea table was filled with notebooks and A4 paper written in English. There was waste paper scattered around the tea table, while situ Yunbing and Alonzo were wearing only shorts and bare upper body. Their hair was messy. It was obvious that they didn't clean up.
After situ Yunbing stretched out his hand and smiled to signal them to enter the house, Hoffman and Reinhart didn't even know whether to find a space to stand or sit on the sofa in the corner.
Alonzo hurriedly pushed the sofa to the tea table, then quickly kneaded some useless materials on the tea table into a ball, threw them into the fast filling garbage can, and then poured water for them.
Germany has the highest popularity of English among European countries, about more than 60%, that is, 6 of the 10 Germans communicate in English. This is because German and English belong to the West Germanic language family of Germanic branches. If you change to French, Italian and Spanish, there will be a generation gap.
In Germany, the higher the level of education, the better the mastery of English. Basically, English has been taught since primary school.
So situ Yunbing didn't have to hurry to learn German. Of course, it's necessary to learn German, but it's not so urgent.
After Alonzo brought water to the two, situ Yunbing asked Hoffman solemnly: "Mr. President, we passed the phone yesterday. I want to apply for the position of Hamburg coach. I don't know what you need to investigate me or what the interview content is?"
Hoffman had just drunk and almost spewed out. He coughed twice. After slowing down, he put down his glass and asked seriously, "do you really want to coach Hamburg?"
Situ Yunbing replied firmly, "of course! My goal is to lead Hamburg to the Bundesliga championship. "
Reinhart couldn't help but straighten out his chest. I don't know why. Anyway, listening to the Chinese Young Marshal's speech boosted his morale!
Listen, how domineering!
Win the championship!
No one before Hamburg dared say that!
Of course, if you can't do it, you are bragging. If you do it, you are arrogant.
Referring to his achievements in Monaco, at least for now, no one dares to question his determination and goals.
Hoffman also felt as if he had been given a shot of cardiotonic and immediately said, "OK, then you are the new manager of Hamburg!"
Situ Yunbing smiled and shook hands with him. Hoffman only felt a little absurd. At such a sacred moment, he in a suit and shoes shook hands with situ Yunbing without a coat and reached a verbal agreement?!
After God came, he whispered to situ Yunbing, "I don't know what you want in terms of annual salary?"
Situ Yunbing said with a smile: "how much do you think the Bundesliga champion coach should give, then write in the contract."
