Star Coach

Hope and Rothaus left Murcia at the same time. Hope patted her belly, which looked like she was pregnant for ten months, and said proudly, "How is it? Can these bonuses be paid out next year?"

Hope really wanted to spend 100,000 German marks. He could not forget the taste of continuous promotion. "Is there a hope of promotion to the second division next year? I will also add player bonuses."

Rothaus nodded slightly, "Jiangshan's ideas are very clear. With the foundation of the team, there is a probability of more than 55% of promotion. But the few people he listed are not easy to get."

Jiangshan gave them a prescription, and listed several people on the list. Lease, purchase, and signing free agents, all are complete. Just looking at the name, hey, there is no star sign at all, and they are all under 20 years old. Rothaus lacks confidence.

Tim Wiese, a goalkeeper with a hot temper, a youth training player abandoned by Leverkusen, now plays for Fortuna Klon, a small team similar to Hoffenheim. Jiangshan is going to use him to replace the team's aging goalkeeper Ridno.

Thomas Hitzlsperger, defensive midfielder, a youth player who was just abandoned by Bayern, is now a free agent.

Kevin Kuranyi, a forward, is less than 18 years old now. He seems to be trying out everywhere recently, but he can't find a team to play and train with. No matter how he looks at it, it doesn't work.

There is another one who is going to be loaned, Schweinsteiger, who is known as a winger. In Rothaus's opinion, this guy is almost 20 years old and has not played in Bayern's first team. It is estimated that he will be abandoned when the contract expires.

Loan? If it is barely usable, it is better to buy it directly.

Hopp disagreed, "Jiangshan knows the situation of the players better than us, and he has made enough preparations. He has played this before." Hopp doesn't care about a little money. As long as the team can continue to upgrade and as long as the team can enter the first division, it doesn't matter if he wastes some money. "How much will it cost to get these people?"

"If other teams take action, it's hard to say. For me, the total cost will not be 500,000 marks." It was Rothaus's turn to brag.

The list is full of new players, and some of them can't find a team, so it's easy to sign them. The one who costs the most should be Schweinsteiger. Bayern is a big family, and they won't let him go without enough money and playing opportunities.

Can a Peking University graduate enter a textile factory with 20 to 30 people? It's not impossible, but if a knitting factory wants to recruit people, it must pay enough wages even if it doesn't give them senior management positions.

"You go and do this yourself." Hope narrowed his eyes, "I can't wait to see how he conquers the strong men in the team."

When in Valencia, Jiangshan got along well with the players, he had heard about it, of course those were professional players, Hope is now betting on Jiangshan, what will Jiangshan do when facing amateur players?

Don't say Germany is developed, they are all country roughs. Does the second child Thomas Muller know? When Germany won the 2014 World Cup, a reporter asked him if he was disappointed about losing the Golden Boot. "The Golden Boot is nothing. We are the world champions and have won the trophy. You should keep the Golden Boot and rub it on your hair."

No problem, all professional players are like this, not to mention semi-professional players.

When Jiangshan got the Hoffenheim player list yesterday, he didn't know anyone. Helplessly, he just searched his mind and vaguely found a few pearls. In fact, they can't be considered pearls. These people will enter the German national team. If they didn't have the resume of entering the national team, Jiangshan only knew Schweinsteiger's name.

Except Schweinsteiger, the national team resumes of others are not bright.

Jiangshan also got busy, learning German, watching team videos, designing tactics, and returning to the previous work rhythm, which was quite fulfilling.

A few days later, Jiangshan received a call from Rothaus. All the players on the list were settled, which really excited him.

Only Schweinsteiger's situation was more troublesome, and Bayern had a recall clause at any time. Jiangshan also knew that Schweinsteiger would soon join the first team. Now he could take it one day at a time. At least Schweinsteiger would play for Hoffenheim before the winter break next season.

Jiangshan hung up the phone and looked up at the sky. He was confident in his coaching ability, but how to calm the players was his concern. If he chose to coach Monaco's U15, there would not be much problem, but the adult team was different, and the adult amateur team was even more different.

They were not easy to convince. Jiangshan's first step in choosing to recruit players was to complete the layout in the team and insert a few of his own people. Otherwise, even without recruiting players, Hoffenheim could still be upgraded and become a team in the German Southern League.

Starting in mid-June, the European Cup was in full swing, and major clubs also made every effort to promote player transfers. Valencia became the new Champions League champion, and players and coaches became the hot cakes in the transfer market. "Little Worm" Lopez transferred to Lazio for as much as 25 million pounds, and Mendieta also frequently appeared in transfer news.

Of course, the more eye-catching thing is Figo's transfer. He went directly from Barcelona to Real Madrid for 52 million pounds, shocking the whole of Spain. But this price is less than Jiangshan's previous life, and Figo's influence is declining.

During this time, Jiangshan only focused on his own little piece of land, and even took time to return to England to live for a while to fulfill his adoptive mother's wish to donate the property as a shelter.

"Finally here, the place is hard to find." Jiangshan teased. He appeared in Hoffenheim, Hope Stadium, accompanied by Rothaus, preparing for a press conference.

Jiangshan also took the initiative to contact the domestic media stationed in Germany, but unfortunately only reporters from the sports world showed up. At the same time, the team also announced several new players. The group effect brought a lot of media, and there were media from Stuttgart and Heidelberg.

Although the number of media was different from what Jiangshan expected, he didn't care. The team and his popularity were not high enough, and it was enough to have someone to support them.

Rothaus was in a good mood when he saw that there were also Chinese media visiting. After a simple and well-prepared opening speech, it was announced that the team had signed a new coach and new players, and at the same time arranged new jerseys and took makeup photos, all in one go.

The team's main color is blue. The home uniform is a blue top, blue shorts with blue and white socks. The away uniform is white, with a white top, white shorts, and white socks, which is very energetic.

The players are not well-known and lack explosive points. The media's biggest interest is in coach Jiangshan. It's not because he is young, there are many young coaches in amateur teams, but because of his skin color.

This is the first time that conservative Germany has a yellow-skinned coach, which is backward.

At the scene, many reporters whispered that this guy doesn't look young! He looks very mature! Look at the young players next to him, that's what youth is.

"You may not be familiar with me, but it doesn't matter." Jiangshan smiled, "When the season ends, we will be at the top of the list and become a member of the German Southern League. Then everyone will know me."

I am handsome, but it's uncomfortable to be stared at. Jiangshan first used a big move, the goal was to win the championship, to move the media's attention away from the damn color, so that the arrogant Germans would not notice it.

Sure enough, the media's attention was instantly shifted to Jiangshan's mouth cannon. "What? The goal for the new season is the Baden-Württemberg League championship?"

"This guy, don't you think the Kaiserslausten miracle happens every year?"

"Ignorant, blindly arrogant guy." The German media has already labeled Jiangshan, and they are ready to continue to pay attention to Hoffenheim's movements.

Han Xiang, a reporter from the Sports Weekly, was very excited. It was rare for a Chinese coach to coach abroad, and now he was shouting the slogan of winning the championship, so of course he had to write a big story. Han Xiang decided to go back and write a column to report it well.

The media showed great interest in Hoffenheim, and under Jiang Shan's leadership, the press conference was a complete success.

The team had bigger problems waiting for him to solve.
