Chapter 157

Today’s information

[UEFA is undergoing a final meeting regarding the joint sponsorship of Newcastle United in the English EPL, FC and Hamburg SV in the German Bundesliga, which is known as a co-sponsorship club, and is expected to conclude in a positive direction.]

“The season of talking and riding is coming to an end.”

Yonas Keitel of Kickerj, who was waiting for the game to start in the press, looked around and said:

“There are quite a few kids who can’t carry their faces.”

Reichelt of Bildge, who had come to the stadium with him, replied with a laugh.

“I really have respect for director Song Jae-jin.”

“Recognition.”

Even before the start of the season, Hamburg suffered from numerous media verification controversies and attacks.

If they lost even one out of 10 matches, they received the crossfire of public opinion as if they had waited.

The important thing was that he endured all those crossfires on his own.

In particular, the level of criticism is even higher in the media that does not have a good relationship with Song Jae-jin.

In the winter transfer window, when only one veteran defender named De Lichtra was signed and finished, there was news that Hamburg had given up on a possible Champions League spot.

However, before the final match, the result was 21 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in 33 matches.

4th in the league with 69 points.



Although there was a 3 point difference from fifth place, Hamburg had no change in the rankings even if they lost because they were ahead in goal difference.

Literally today’s match was just the last game to end the season.

But a lot of people were watching this match.

Considering that Hamburg’s advance to the Champions League is more than 20 years old, the meaning of today’s match for Hamburg fans is really great.

“Isn’t the proportion of Asians visiting the stadium increasing recently?”

“exactly. Interest in Hamburg has grown a lot in Asia.”

After the recruitment of Cho Won-hyuk, Hamburg focused on marketing in Asia, which was the primary opportunity for many Asian fans to visit the Hamburg Stadium.

“It’s just my personal opinion.”

Jonas Keitel looked at the Hamburg bench and opened his mouth carefully.

“The biggest transfer target for Hamburg in the next transfer window will not be the players, but the manager Song Jae-jin himself.”

There are many people who play soccer all over the world.

Therefore, players who are often referred to as new talents can always be nearby.

It’s just that you can’t find it and you can’t find it.

The talent for identifying their potential and discovering players is bound to be special.

FC Union Berlin formed the best lineup to compete.

Union Berlin fights for 7th place. In other words, the Europa League was at stake, so we had to win today’s match unconditionally and wait for the result of another stadium.

[Maybe it feels right at the end of the season, but Hamburg’s attacking power this season has been amazing.][Although he suffered a huge defeat by Munich, he literally showed the essence of attacking football by showing an unparalleled attack against other clubs.][Hamburg averaged close to 3 goals per game this season.][Literally, it’s an incredible attack.]

“Is this really Hamburg?”

The striker for Union Berlin, who is facing Hamburg on the field, murmured as if he didn’t understand.

Because it felt completely different from the last time we bumped into it.

The players’ breathing was organic and sticky at the same time, and the attack was still strong.

[De Ligt! Cut Union Berlin’s attack.][It was a neat defense, wasn’t it?]

As De Ligt was accustomed to, he connected the ball to forward Niccolò Robertio, who, as if waiting, returned the ball forward.

pass twice.

After two passes, the ball landed near Union Berlin’s penalty box.

The player who caught the ball was Hamburg’s number 9 Francis Kloska.

Toong-

Francis Kloska lightly kicked the ball with his instep and, in one act, beat Union Berlin’s flank defense.

Inside the empty penalty box of Union Berlin.

Francis Kloska swung his left foot right into the goal.

[Gool-! goal! goal! Goal!][Hamburg SV to take the lead in 17 minutes in the first half!]

“Sigh.”

When Frances Kloska opened the scoring, Union Berlin manager sighed and wiped his face.

This was because Union Berlin’s tactic of crouching down as much as possible to prevent runs and counterattack was broken with two passes and two footsteps.

If this happened, all that was left was to wait for the 8th-placed team to lose in a match played in another stadium, and Union Berlin manager looked intently at the field with his legs trembling.

It’s kind of sad to see.

But Song Jae-jin only looked at his field with sunken eyes.

“Go ol-!”

“Nicolo! Nicolo!”

When Hamburg scored the second goal, only the cheers of Hamburg fans resounded in the home stadium of Union Berlin.

“Sure.”

At David Tennant’s words, Song Jae-jin smiled faintly.

“Still, you have to press firmly when you can release it. That way, when we meet Union Berlin next season, we will be able to take the game with an edge in momentum.”

“Five. A cruel director.”

But David Tennant also agreed to it, so he just spit it out.

As long as football continued and the Bundesliga was maintained anyway, all the other teams except for their own were just objects of competition.

And in the second half, Hamburg’s destructive behavior continued.

[The score has already risen to 4-0.][But the Hamburg players are still bombarding the goal of Union Berlin without showing any signs of exhaustion.]

Literally, to the point of being pissed off.

In the Stadion an der Alten Försterei, the home stadium of Union Berlin, only the sounds of Hamburg fans were resounding.

And after 90 minutes of the game, reporters quickly spread the news of the game.

[League finished in Hamburg 4th! Qualification to Champions League!][Hamburg secured a Champions League ticket in the first season of the first division!][Song Jae-jin of Hamburg, who has emerged as one of the masters of this era in the Bundesliga!][Hamburg looking forward to the future! Hamburg in the 2036-2037 season?]

“Next season we will at least double including the Champions League. Or you have to run aiming over it.”

And before the feeling that Hamburg had achieved the feat of winning the Champions League did not disappear, Song Jae-jin called a club meeting.

“The resulting reorganization of the weekly pay system, large contracts for new sponsorships, and the signing of new players.”

This also meant the reinforcement of the overall squad.

“In other words. This pre-season is going to be very busy. Hamburg will have to be reborn to the level of metamorphosis ahead of next season. Not just the players, but the whole club.”

At Song Jae-jin’s words, a strange heat rose on the board’s face.

This was because it was a kind of declaration that Hamburg would go further to win the Bundesliga and be reborn as a team to win the Champions League.

“Recently, Asian fans have been visiting the stadium a lot. We were talking with a large Asian sponsor there, and the contract amount seems to be higher because of this result.”

From billboards to uniforms, there were more than five teams waiting to negotiate advertisements.

“We acknowledge the change in the weekly pay system. It will be a question of how to set that standard.”

A change in the weekly pay system was necessary. This is because the amount that Hamburg players receive now is really small compared to other teams of similar level.

“We will review and raise an appropriate weekly wage system.”

And the fundamental reason for the change of the weekly wage system was in Hamburg itself.

And now was the right time.

Before the summer transfer window opened in earnest, the weekly wage system had to be confirmed and the contract renewed.

It has already been the case in the past, but in the future, it will be a major target for clubs with excellent money and name for Hamburg players.

“This is the message of the owner of Mohammed regarding that.”

Chairman Ya Shir, who had closed his mouth and nodded his head, slowly opened his mouth as if it was time for him to speak and focused his attention.

“You said that the salary increase of at least 1.5 times will be made depending on the performance of the players next season, and you said that you have no intention of letting the players that Hamburg want to leave Hamburg for money.”

At that, Song Jae-jin smiled.

“Then there will be no problem. Please review and post a new weekly wage system that fits your club status.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

After the board meeting was over, Chairman Yasir and President Soriano moved separately to talk.

“From the UEFA side, it’s positive. The club finances committee decided that Hamburg and Newcastle did not break the rules.”

As can be seen in the cases of Leipzig and Salzburg in the past, Hamburg, like Newcastle, was also a Mohamed bin Salman club, so naturally, a problem was raised, and Hamburg had already submitted the document.

To be precise, this was possible because Hamburg was owned by the Saudi Sports Group, Newcastle was recognized as King bin Salman’s personal club, and even with the same sponsorship, Hamburg maintained its independence in financial structure.

“I’ve been living with my belt tight like this until now, but if I didn’t, it would be a shame.”

If even one of the two teams was banned from participating, Song Jae-Jin almost thought it was unfair.

In order to avoid that regulation, it has endured despite the criticism that it is a selling club, even though it has received minimal support from Saudi Arabian sports groups and carried external funds and oil money on its back.

“By the way, His Majesty King Mohammed told us to tell us which player you want as the transfer funds will be released indefinitely for the next season.”

As if waiting for those words, Song Jae-jin put a smile on his face.

“I have to say thank you to the owner.”

“haha. Your Majesty the King will be delighted.”

And as Song Jae-jin predicted, as the afterglow of last season was somewhat settled, numerous teams knocked on Hamburg.

There were countless players they wanted to get rid of.

Right now, Walter Giller, Rolf Kahn and Petar Vidic, Niccolò Robertio and Francis Kloska.

In the past, PSG lost to Bayern Munich in the final after pouring a huge amount of money in the Champions League in the past, so the Champions League stage was not an easy stage to watch.

“PSG has an offer of €140 million ($174.8 billion) for Francis Kloska.”

“It’s a 100 million offer for Niccolò Robertio at Manchester City.”

“Who do these bastards think of as a player’s cart?”

As soon as the summer transfer window opened, the management director frowned and sweared at the crowd of offers.

[Barcelona captain Sergio Valero ‘Nicolo Robertio has Barcelona’s DNA’][Manchester United legend ‘Francis Kloska is a player who suits the Red Devils’ red uniform.’]

Started shaking Hamburg everywhere.

“What about Captain Song?”

“You have entered into negotiations.”

Fortunately, that was the case. It was because they were quickly renewing their contracts with the players as the weekly wage system that we talked about in the last board meeting was confirmed.
