Chapter 83
Chapter 81 Best starting point
After listening to Lu Wenbin’s answer, everyone thought it was true. Claire said that he wanted Lu Wenbin to lead the Meijiang Middle School to win the championship before considering signing him.
If Meijiang Middle School can’t win the championship, then it doesn’t make much sense for everyone to discuss Hoffenheim now, maybe people don’t want Lu Wenbin!
Therefore, everyone died down and stopped talking about this topic.
However, there are still people who are curious about how Hoffenheim’s boss Dietmar Hope reimbursed Lu Wenbin’s parents for 10,000 yuan in airfare, boarding and lodging expenses in advance without signing a contract.
This style of style is somewhat inconsistent with the temperament of Hoffenheim’s country club, and it feels like a local tyrant. (Clever note: 10,000 yuan in 2007 is still very purchasing power compared to 10 years later.)
Therefore, someone asked Lu Wenbin to search Dietmar Hope to see who the owner and club chairman of Hoffenheim is.
As a result, the information found this time shocked everyone again.
However, this time it was not a disappointment, but a surprise.
It turns out that although Hoffenheim is a **** and a country club, their boss Dietmar Hope is not a dick, but a Forbes super-rich.
According to information disclosed on the Internet, Hoffenheim boss Dietmar Hope is one of the co-founders of SAP, the largest software company in Europe, with a net worth of more than US$6 billion and is the richest man in German football.
He has invested in Hoffenheim for more than ten years. The reason why Hoffenheim club only rushed to the second division this year is that Hope’s football philosophy is very different from that of Chelsea boss Abrahimović.
Abramovich is keen to buy big-name stars and invite big-name coaches. He needs to get results immediately. Hope, on the other hand, focuses on investing in the club’s software and hardware facilities and the construction of youth football echelons.
Therefore, even though Hope has spent nearly 200 million euros at the club, Hoffenheim has only been promoted to the Bundesliga this year, and he is not famous.
The main reason is that Hope’s investment is in hardware and software facilities and the training of the youth team.
According to sporadic introductions on the Internet, although Hoffenheim is currently only a country club, they have the best training facilities, sports medical team, etc. in Germany, which are as advanced as Bayern Munich.
Moreover, Hope is also building a football stadium called Rhein Neckar Stadium that can accommodate 30,000 spectators, which will serve as the club’s home stadium after it is promoted to the Bundesliga.
It can be said that Hope puts hardware and software investment in front of the team’s performance. Therefore, Hoffenheim was only promoted to the second German Bundesliga this year, and Lu Wenbin and others have never heard the name of this club.
After watching Dietmar Hope’s introduction, no one in the room suggested Lu Wenbin to join Tianjin TEDA.
Joining such a Bundesliga club with advanced software and hardware facilities comparable to Bayern Munich and backed by the super-rich is obviously much better than starting in China.
Moreover, looking at the actions of the owner Dietmar Hope and the advancement of the construction of the Rhein Neckar Arena, Hoffenheim’s goal this year is definitely not to relegation, and the future end is not the German Second Division, but even more. The big stage.
Lu Wenbin joins such a young, energetic, and rising team, it is actually just the right time.
The players who felt that Hoffenheim was not as good as the second team and persuaded Lu Wenbin to give up Hoffenheim were a little embarrassed.
Lu Wenbin himself was quite fortunate, but fortunately he didn’t show the look of despising Hoffenheim just now, otherwise he would be a bit embarrassed now.
At present, Hoffenheim is really a club suitable for his debut in Europe.
There are few audiences, low pressure, advanced hardware and software facilities, and the backing of the rich. The prospects are broad and it is very suitable as a starting point for my career.
The club chosen by the system for him now seems to be just too suitable.
That night, Lu Wenbin had a dream. He dreamed that he had joined Hoffenheim and led Hoffenheim to the Bundesliga. Then he won the Bundesliga title in the first season, performing the Huocun miracle that shocked the world…
Just when Lu Wenbin and others were discussing Hoffenheim and Dietmar Hope in the hotel, those audiences who heard Claire invite Lu Wenbin at the stadium also broke the news they heard to reporters, which caused countless reporters. Excitement.
Since the humiliating exit of the World Cup in 2002 and the loss of the championship in the Asian Cup in 2004, the performance and image of Chinese football have declined rapidly, and it has even become the object of ridicule and scolding by fans across the country.
Now, a high school amateur player who has never experienced formal training has not only been recognized by ten domestic clubs through the national high school league, but also has been invited by the German second club. It is definitely a boost for Chinese football. Big news!
Many Chinese Super League stars and big-name internationals did not get the opportunity to stay abroad. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was obtained by a high school amateur player. This is definitely the big news that can be on the front page!
Major newspapers, websites, and TV stations quickly followed up, contacting and interviewing the audience who heard Claire invite Lu Wenbin at the stadium at the time, and inquiring about relevant information about Hoffenheim and Dietmar Hope.
Then, when the information of the Hoffenheim Club and Dietmar Hope was in front of the editors, everyone was even more excited.
German second league, country club, Forbes rich, Chinese high school amateur players, these keywords are linked together, it is difficult to think of becoming big news!
So, the day after the semi-finals, on the morning of August 24, when Lu Wenbin and others got up and went downstairs for breakfast, the two beauties at the front desk started talking to Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin looked at himself inexplicably, there is nothing unusual?
Since I have lived here for more than ten days and everyone is familiar with it, Lu Wenbin asked: “Sister Lan, Sister Chen, what are you talking about me?”
The beautiful lady surnamed Lan on the left smiled and said, “Lu Wenbin, you are in the newspaper and you are a star!”
Lu Wenbin said in surprise: “What newspaper?”
Another beauty surnamed Chen said: “A lot, you can see for yourself!”
After finishing speaking, the beauty surnamed Chen picked up a stack of newspapers from the backstage and handed it to Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin took the newspaper and looked through it.
Nie Yingkun, Han Dapeng, and others who went downstairs together also put their heads up, ready to see what newspaper Lu Wenbin was in and what was written in the newspaper.
