Super Marshal

In the evening of August 11, 2007, at the Sebena training base.

In the club’s press conference hall, Gao Han, who appeared at the Sebena press conference for the first time as the head coach of Bayern Munich, announced the roster of the team’s home game against Rostock in front of many media reporters.

Ribery, Robben, Modric, Ram, Schweinsteiger, Hummels, Lucio, Neuer and other players reused by Alpine, without exception, appear on the big list. Klose, Aguero, Van Bommel, Marcelo and other players are also among them, none of which surprised the media reporters.

What they want to know more is, what specific thoughts does Gao Han have for the other seven games of the Bundesliga that ended an hour ago, and what plans does he have for tomorrow's game against Rostock?

The opening match of this season's Bundesliga was held yesterday, with defending champion Stuttgart vs. Schalke Zero Four.

The whole game was very intense, and the rhythm was very fast. In this intense fast-paced game, both teams made a lot of mistakes. In the first half, Schalke had better luck with a single kick. The shot hit the Stuttgart defender, changed direction, and scored a goal.

But at the beginning of the second half, Stuttgart began to show off. The highly admired teenager Khedira stepped forward at a crucial moment and evened the score for Stuttgart. Five minutes later, the home team scored another goal and overtook the score.

But in the 76th minute, Croatian teenager Rakitic scored a goal for Schalke 04 to equalize the score.

In the end, the two teams shook hands two to two.

For such a result, Gao Han said that this is a wonderful opener.

"Both teams have shown a high level. They are both very good. They have proven their ability to hit the league championship. It also reminds us that we must go all out in every game to have a chance to win. ."

With the exception of Stuttgart’s pin Schalke zero four, Bochum’s home draw with Werder Bremen and Leverkusen’s home draw with Cottbus were a bit surprising, especially Le Werkuson this one.

The pharmaceutical factory has also invested a lot this season, but from the performance of the team, it seems that the investment has not been transformed into the competitiveness of the team. Whether it is from the preseason or the first round of the league, Leverkusen has Did not show satisfactory strength.

Hamburg beat Hannover 96 away 1-0, but after a thrilling relegation last season, Wolfsburg, who has increased its investment this season, lost to Bielefeld 1-3 at home, which is a bit surprising. Up.

Also surprising is Dortmund's one-to-three loss to Duisburg, coupled with Frankfurt's one-to-zero victory over Hertha Berlin, the first round of the new season has been completed in the seven games, it can be described as upset.

Gao Han's evaluation is that the overall strength of the Bundesliga is on the rise.

"We all know that after experiencing the glory of the beginning of the century, the Bundesliga has begun to sink. In the past few years, there has been no satisfactory performance. Especially after 2001, the Bundesliga has no team. In the Champions League semi-finals, even in the European league table, the Bundesliga has been surpassed by the French Ligue 1 and reduced to the fifth league in Europe."

What Gao Han said is basically the consensus of all people in Germany.

The fall of the Bundesliga is inseparable from the bankruptcy of the Kirsch Group, but this is not a reason or excuse for the decline of the league, especially when the Bundesliga is now the fifth place in Europe.

"But I want to say that in the past few years, the operators of the Bundesliga have completed a transition very well, and they have made considerable financial improvements. They have become more pragmatic. After the accumulation of the past few years, they have reached the end of the year. This season, I have seen statistics from the Bild before that the transfer investment in the Bundesliga league exceeded 200 million euros, which created a record high in the Bundesliga."

After listening to the media, it was a bit funny, because of the 200 million euros invested, one Bayern Munich team reached 120 million euros, accounting for 60%, while the other 17 teams invested The remaining 40%.

Everyone can tell that Bayern Munich is a unique show.

Of course, this also has something to do with the Bundesliga giants only getting fourth in the league last season, and the team is in desperate need of reorganization.

The Bundesliga is recovering, which can also be seen from the pre-season season ticket sales.

Up to now, the season ticket sales of the 18 Bundesliga teams this season have exceeded 370,000, which is the best-selling league in all European leagues so far.

"Mr. Gao Han, I agree with what you said, the Bundesliga is indeed recovering, but I really want to know, what role do you think Bayern Munich will play in the entire Bundesliga recovery process? Because we know that Bayern Munich is actually One hundred and twenty million euros were invested in the season, accounting for 60% of the Bundesliga's total investment." A reporter stood up and asked.

"Thank you for the question." Gao Han nodded and smiled politely.

"I want to say that Bayern Munich is the most competitive team in the Bundesliga in Europe. I believe that no one will deny this. I think we should play the role of a pioneer in the entire Bundesliga recovery process. This is also mine. One of the most important tasks to come to Bayern Munich."

"Bayern Munich’s management trusts me very much. They told me that Bayern Munich and the entire German football urgently need a vigorous change, and I also hope that I can contribute to Bayern Munich and German football as much as I can."

"As for you, Bayern Munich's investment accounted for 60% of the Bundesliga's total investment. I don't think this is a problem. We have brought the best and most outstanding players, which greatly stimulated the Bayern Munich market and also improved. I think there is no problem with the competitiveness of the Bundesliga teams in the European arena."

"I want to say that behind Bayern Munich's investment, there is enough strong financial resources to support it."

Anyone familiar with the Bundesliga knows that Bayern Munich not only leads the Bundesliga in revenue, but also does not lose to Manchester United and Real Madrid in the European arena. This is why Bayern Munich dared to invest more than 100 million euros in a season.

As for other Bundesliga teams, I am afraid it will take some time to accumulate.

"But, Mr. Gao Han, I have a problem."

"Well, please."

"You said that Bayern Munich should be the forerunner of the change in German football. According to what we have seen, Bayern Munich has been poaching the stars of other German teams over the past few years, from the already-leaved Ballack to Vanby. Teng, to Podolski, Klose and Neuer have been dug up this season. Do you think this is reasonable?"

Once the reporter had finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.

Bayern Munich’s remarks about hollowing out the Bundesliga have always existed, and even this summer it has become more and more intense.

Gao Han stopped the club's press officer and signaled the scene to be quiet. He believed he could cope with this kind of scene.

"I can answer this question, please sit down first."

After the reporter sat down, Gao Han said without hesitation: "First of all, I want to say whether this is a reasonable phenomenon or not, I don’t know, but in addition to the Bundesliga, the entire European top league is full of giants. In this way, the Premier League semi-finals, La Liga three, and Serie A teams will also scoop players from their competitors in the domestic league."

"But on the other hand, we should look at it this way. Why are the Bundesliga teams willing to sell their stars to rivals like Bayern Munich? Why do they prefer to weaken themselves, strong opponents, and sell their players?"

As soon as Gao Han's voice fell, the reporter who asked the question immediately sneered and shouted, "Of course it's Bayern Munich's shameless poaching."

There was a roar of laughter at the scene.

Gao Han couldn't help but smiled, but shook his head, "This is obviously unreasonable. You must know that Ballack and other players are superb, and there is no lack of interest from foreign teams. Sometimes, foreign teams, especially some purchasing power. Stronger teams are willing to pay higher prices, but why would they want to sell to Bayern Munich?"

The reporter who sneered just now was speechless and couldn't answer.

"The reason is very simple. They think it is more secure to sell to Bayern Munich because it is a team in the same country."

"First of all, we should make it clear that these selling teams need to sell their players to obtain a considerable transfer fee and invest in the transfer market operation. And we all know that most transfer fees are paid in installments. According to our firm Knowing that in the past, Bundesliga teams sold players to other leagues, and they often faced a situation where after they got the first installment, the next few installments were repeatedly put on hold."

"I heard that the most outrageous time was when the opponent sold all the players, but had not paid the balance, and finally had to lodge a complaint with UEFA, but the whole process was very troublesome, and even in the final European football The arbitration of the United Nations may not be able to be enforced. I believe this phenomenon should not be a special case, right?"

Many reporters at the scene nodded one after another.

The reason why they didn't report these things in the newspapers was because the fans were not interested at all. They only cared about the players' transfer fees. Who cares how many installments you have? Have you received the balance payment?

But in European football, the transfer fee dispute has always been the highlight of the club's conflicts.

However, cross-league transactions are often caused by different laws and rules between countries, and there are a lot of troubles. Even now, Europe has established the European Union, but it still hasn't changed.

Therefore, many players in the Bundesliga are more willing to sell their players to Bayern Munich because of safety considerations.

As for Bayern Munich's willingness to poach the players in their own league, this is normal. This is the case for all the giants of the league, because this can avoid the problem of players' unsuitability and reduce the club's investment risk.

Gao Han's explanation is well-founded and convincing.

In the final analysis, Bayern Munich is just a professional team. You can't make harsh demands on him just because he is stronger than other league competitors. That is not in line with the laws of the market.

What's more, Bayern Munich itself is already taking on the task of being a pioneer in the league.

This is true regardless of whether it is a change in technical and tactical play, or a commitment to youth training.

"Mr. Gao Han, I'm from Kicker Magazine."

Gao Han nodded, "Excuse me."

"According to the tradition of the Bundesliga, before the first round of each season, the head coaches of 18 Bundesliga teams will be asked to make predictions, including the league championship and the team's results."

"Well, I have heard of this tradition." Just before the press conference, the press officer said about it.

"To tell you, we have interviewed the head coaches of 17 other teams. All of them believe that Bayern Munich will win the league title because you have invested more than 100 million euros in the transfer market. More than the sum invested by the other 17 Bundesliga teams."

"Yes, you are right, so I am very honored to have such a lineup. I believe that after investing so much, it is difficult for me to say anything about hitting the top three in the league~www.NovelMTL. com~ All the reporters present were excited to hear this.

Gao Han stood up from his seat, propped his hands on the podium, and looked firmly at the media reporter in front of him.

In an instant, the spotlight almost flickered.

"Yes, there is no doubt that our goal is only one, and that is the champion!"

The reporters suddenly became excited.

"Not only is the Bundesliga champion, we also hope to win the UEFA Cup and all the championships we can win."

The reporters got even more excited, and it was almost like chicken blood.

"Next season, we will return to the Champions League. My team and I will make everyone, all our opponents, against Bayern Munich and the Bundesliga completely changed!"

In an instant, the whole press conference hall was in an uproar! rw
