From The Country Team To The Rich
Chapter 1 Champions is everything
One of the three major cities in Germany, Hamburg.
The crowd took to the streets and were very excited, waving their hands, they made deafening cheers.
"Wein Humburg! champ! "
"Wein Hamburg! champ! "
Yesterday, Wien Hamburg Football Club won the German Cup. It was the most iconic win since Wein Hamburg was founded, and it also set the city on a boil.
In Europe, Football teams have a very close relationship with their city
'Team from Kampung Lapaman'!
The influence of a team directly affects the city, encourages the development of all aspects of the city, and even makes the fans in certain areas form confidence when they visit out of town.
As of now, German Cup champion Wein Hamburg is making the whole city of Hamburg boil.
From their faces can be seen clearly the sincere pride of the heart.
In an open cafe by the side of the road.
David Smith took a piece of fries and ate it, then said with a smile: "So, you are interested in football in Europe? I heard your American Football Team won the All-German League yesterday. But they're not as lively here ".
In front of him was a man with an oriental face. His hair was a little messy and his figure was a little thin, but he was very tall, he looked like a stick.
Thin lips, a tall nose, and narrow eyes made the man look like a cruel man.
Zhang Xian loosened the tie around his neck, and said casually: "It doesn't matter, I've been fired anyway."
David Smith grinned: "How did this happen to you? The fans are protesting together, and the club executives hate you. This shouldn't be the treatment a hero should have to lead a team to win a championship."
Zhang Xian pouted and said: "This is an inclusive sport!"
"Haha." David Smith sneered, and said with his fingers: "Volleyball, baseball, basketball, this sport you're following, you're saying that there's no inclusivity, so what's inclusivity?"
Zhang now stopped talking, he did not want to explain.
Seeing Zhang Xian not speaking, David Smith shook his head helplessly.
To this good friend and classmate, he was completely speechless.
Zhang Xian's ability was undoubtedly, ever since he entered the sports field five years ago, this fellow had led the team to sweep the championship wildly.
Yes, after five years of debut, Zhang Xian has won various championships in baseball, volleyball, basketball, and American football.
Among them, there are student league champions and professional league champions.
All the clubs he has managed have had incredible changes.
However, this person also always caused problems.
He never waited for the expiry of his contract at the club, and the two sides always parted ways due to various contradictions and disagreements.
In fact, due to some of his activities, his reputation in baseball, volleyball, basketball, and American football became very bad.
Smith admits that Zhang has excellent workability, but at the same time, he also has a pretty crazy personality.
Smith said more than once that this man was a combination of an angel and a demon.
For the sake of gaining victory, he will torture you again and again.
Just like now, Zhang Xian proposed another idea.
"What about football?"
Smith widened his eyes and asked: "Do you want to enter the football industry?"
Zhang Xian shrugged and said: "Is there a problem? I think this is a pretty inclusive sport."
As a true fan, Smith agreed with Zhang Xian's words, but.
"Man, while football has enough inclusivity, it also has great exclusivity." Smith said in a serious manner: "I admit that your previous achievements were quite dazzling, but only in that sport. Football is new. Are you sure you want to take that risk ?"
Zhang Xian smiled and said, "It's not a matter of risk. Moreover, I never made any achievements before I entered the field of American football."
“It's different!” Smith shook his head and said.
"Nothing is different." Zhang Xian stretched his waist, smiled and pointed to the hot road: "The sound is everything!"
Smith agreed. As the manager of a wood making company, its existence is to serve the customers.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Xian's previous job was neither a head coach nor a player, he was a manager.
He has held a variety of positions, including intelligence analyst, scout manager, sporting director and even general manager.
Zhang Xian had done all of these tasks very well, but his working methods still had to be considered.
Under Smith, Zhang Xian was a trump card, which was extremely powerful.
He can always bring victory to the team, but at the same time it will also cause the team to face other problems.
Of course, Zhang Xian had always told others that this was for better development.
This leads to conflict between the two sides, and under constant friction, eventually leads to separation.
In this case, clubs that wanted results but did not want to escalate the conflict, this started Zhang Xian's short-term partnership.
It's similar to a mercenary. In addition to the base salary, a large bonus will be given when the task is completed.
In the years that followed, Zhang Xian had wandered around in several small clubs, acting as a 'fire fighter pioneer'.
Now, Smith did not know why Zhang Xian wanted to enter the football industry, but he still believed in Zhang Xian's employability, he said, so he is trying to contact German football clubs at all levels who need a sporting director or general manager.
On the other hand, Zhang Xian tried to break the rules of football.
For football, he cannot say that he has no knowledge, but he does not really understand more details about Football.
Enthusiastic football in Europe, of course need not be said anymore.
In addition to the five major leagues in the world and several European championships, countries in Europe have their own leagues at all levels.
For example, the German Football League is divided into several levels.
First is the Bundesliga, the full name of the 'German Football League', which also represents the highest level of the German league. A total of 18 teams compete in turn-based competitions each season. After 34 rounds of competition, they are ranked by points.
The top three teams can represent the Bundesliga in next year's UEFA Champions League.
The bottom three teams will be relegated (relegated) to the second division.
So is the German second division and the German third division, but it is a little different when it comes to the lower division.
Under league C (third division) Germany is the North-South Regional League of Germany.
In those two leagues, the top two teams can be promoted to the German C league (third division), while the bottom four teams in the north, and the bottom five teams in the south are relegated.
Next is the senior regional league, then the German promotion league. This is the lowest level of the German professional league. Although there are still leagues under it, they are not considered professional competitions, but rather semi-professional or entertainment competitions.
In other words, the German professional league as a whole is divided into six tiers.
The German Football League. (National League/Global)
The German Football League Two. (National League/Bundesliga B)
The German Football League C. (National League/Bundesliga C)
The Regional League North and South German Football. (Continental League)
The German Football Senior Regional League. (Regional League)
German league. (City League)
This year, the entire Bundesliga presents a situation of 'one super team, and three strong teams'.
'One Super League' refers to Munich 1900, which is the only giant in the Bundesliga, while 'Multi-Strong' are the three strong teams of Dortmund, Leverkusen and Shaq.
It can be said that these four teams are the four strongest teams in Germany.
Zhang Xian also hoped to join these four teams, but this was definitely impossible.
In fact, the Bundesliga team will not notice it.
Thus, Zhang Xian's goal was very clear. Starting from the second or third level of Germany is the best.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
When David Smith met him and interviewed, Zhang Xian felt the 'exclusivity' of European football for the first time.
