Chapter 83 We will cover the cost of the trip
The new season is about to begin, and Hoffenheim will be in the sixth league of the season.
In fact, in this league, there is not much difference, this is still the internal league of Baden-Wurttemberg.
Only by reaching the North-South Regional League (Fourth Division) could they represent the Karlsruhe region and compete with other southern teams in inter-regional level matches.
So, if Hoffenheim wants to appear in front of the southern clubs, he still has to climb a long way.
The german promotion league. In total there are 18 teams, and there are three places to advance to the senior regional league or the fifth level league .
Ever since digging up information about the sixth league, Zhang Xian found this league very interesting.
Why is that, it's because the keenan league promotion quota is already in the hands of four teams.
They are Rheinbamann, Black Forest, Sandhausen and Walldorf.
These four teams could be called the giant clubs of the sixth tier league.
Every year in the promotion league
they could always get a promotion spot, but after finishing the run in the fifth league, they were again relegated, there were also cases when they got a promotion ticket, he said, the club's financial funds were inadequate and required them to stay in the sixth league the following season.
Over the past six years, these four teams have controlled the top spot in the sixth league standings.
Zhang Xian eventually concluded that there was a lack of funds and changes to the promotion to the Lima league.
Lack of funds means teams cannot be promoted, and relatively surplus teams can indefinitely take talented players from weak teams.
Once there are great players, they will take it upon themselves to ensure the combat effectiveness of their own team and weaken the opposing team at the same time.
In this case, this kind of cycle is finally formed.
In fact, when Hoffenheim had just been promoted, they received offers from Black Forest River and Sandhausen.
Black Forest River wants to buy Duran Bob for 30,000 euros.
Sundhausen set his sights on Gian and Biardini, .they offered 80,000 euros, to take the two away in person.
Zhang Xian felt funny about this.
It was not that Zhang Xian was underestimating these two teams. Truth be told, these two teams might not be able to pay their salaries.
Before the start of the new season, Hoffenheim had already started renewing the contracts of the players, and the salary of each player had basically increased.
Among them, Duran Bob has reached a weekly salary of 500 euros, and the average weekly salary of other players has also been adjusted to around 400 euros.
The weekly salary price given by Black Forest Riverbed and Sandhausen is 350 Euros.
Zhang Xian did not know what to say.
In fact, any team that earns promotion will face exploits of strong teams in the standings, but they clearly found the wrong target this time around.
Hoffenheim are not a small team. According to their financial resources, they already equalled a fourth-tier club.
Therefore, the Black Forest River and Sandhausen did not make Jang worry in the slightest.
"Hahahahaha, man, they're scared!"
Howerson's laughter was heard on the phone.
He naturally knew about the Black Forest Riverbed and Sandhausen's offer to Hoffenheim.
However, he did not tell both teams that the finances of the club they were about to dig up tended to be higher than theirs.
These two teams were Rheinbaman's rivals, he was still waiting to see what Zhang Xian was going to do.
However, he had not expected Zhang Xian's reaction to be so strong.
Yesterday, Hoffenheim made a counter-offer, and each received an offer of one hundred thousand euros to buy their captain.
This move can be described as scaring both of these clubs.
At first, they thought it was an emergency method for Hoffenheim to get angry, but when they found out about the financial statements released by Hoffenheim recently, they were instantly silent.
They drew the quote secretly, and did not dare to say a word.
They felt that if they really upset the Chinese, they might actually have spent the money and emptied them.When that happened, they would have nowhere to cry.
Howerson was still laughing, but there was a hint of bitter taste in the laughter.
Why are they so rich?
Is this a newly promoted club?
He knew that behind Hoffenheim there was a rich man who owned the Hass Meat Union.
But how did Zhang get sponsorship money close to 4 million euros from the rich.
Howerson feels he lacks such means, and Zhang has now spent more than 5 million euros last season.
Hearing that Howerson no longer spoke Zhang Xian asked, "I don't think you made this call specifically to laugh at the Black Forest and Sandhausen?"
"Hey!" Only then did Howerson remember the business.
For Hoffenheim, he is very alert, this newly promoted club is different from the ones that were newly promoted before.
He was very curious about what kind of power Hoffenheim had.
"Zhang, the season is about to start, should we make an appointment for a practice match?" Having said that, Howerson quickly added; "We will cover the cost of the trip!"
Speaking of this, Howerson felt displeased.
Last season, they also had an appointment for a training match. At that moment, Zhang Xian who paid the travel fee, almost begged to play the training match himself.
This season, the roles of both sides had changed and he needed to plead with Zhang Xian.
In response, Zhang Xian smiled faintly and said: "Sorry, we have no plans to play a training match with our competitors!"
Howerson: "."
You just said, You want to beat us!
Howerson still wanted to hold on, but Zhang Xian directly hung up the phone.
Placing the phone in his pocket, Zhang Xian turned towards team manager Luna across the table and said; "How are the opponents setting up for the practice match?"
Luna said directly; “Total there are two clubs who will be opponents for the training match, they are Neildorf of the Northern Regional League (fourth league) and Gosling of the Senior Regional League (fifth league).”
Zhang now nodded and said; "What's the situation on the team?"
Luna said: "The journey was very good, Wilach was new and Mario trained very hard, especially Wilach"
Um?
Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows and said: "Is there a problem with him?"
Luna hurriedly shook her head and said: "No, she trained very hard, even that was too hard. After practicing every day, he would stay and train on his own for an additional hour."
Luna was a little curious, a famous player like Wilach, coupled with this level of hard work, shouldn't be so pitiful.
In fact, he had no idea that since being left behind by Munich, the boy was unbalanced and always looked down on his team-mates, he claimed to be a genius player in Munich, and he was arrogant.
It was only after he was sold to Hoffenheim that he was fully aware of his pride. The pride was completely shattered and he realized the reality. Only then did he start training hard and try to prove himself again.
Zhang Xian did not understand this much, but Wilach trained hard and it was a good thing, he would not stop him.
Finally, he tells Luna not to hurt Wilach and lets Luna go.
Just before Luna came out of the office, Zhang Xian suddenly said, "By the way, call Zarno here."
ten minutes later.
Zarno sat down nervously in front of Zhang Xian.
This is a 29-year-old midfielder. He could not be said to be old, but it was also included in the final period of his youth .
For this group of ages who are still playing and in the sixth league. It could only be said that Zhang Xian was not optimistic about his future.
And most importantly next season, Zarno will lose his main position.
"I think Koch has made it clear to you that you will lose your main position next season. I don't know if he'll leave you with a replacement position, but the option I can give you is to leave."
Hearing this, Zarno slumped in a desperate seat.
In fact, before the end of last season, he already felt this problem.
It was just that he had never been willing to admit it, and now he was brutally informed by Zhang Xian.
In response, Zarno pursed his lips and said; "Sir, can I not go?"
"You don't want to go? You don't have a leading position anymore" Zhang Xian emphasized again.
"I understand." Zarno smiled bitterly: "But I still don't want to go. If I go, I don't know where to go. I'm willing to accept any arrangement, but I just want to stay here."
Zhang Xian looked deeply, then sighed, and said: "Zarno, I hope you understand the problem. This club is not a charity. If you want to draw sympathy from me to facilitate the salary, then I can only ask you.It is impossible."
In response, Zarno immediately said, "I am willing to lower my salary."
Zhang Xian frowned slightly, and said, "You still want to stay even with a pay cut?"
This was the end of the words, and Zhang Xian had no reason to refuse.
"Well, you can go to Yulia to sign a contract, but I can only give you a weekly salary of 150 euros."
In Hoffenheim, with an average salary of 400 euros, this is already the lowest.
In response, Zarno nodded and agreed: "I accept."
