Chapter 21: First practice match

Chapter 21 First Practice Game

The next day, on August 2, Hoffenheim ushered in the first practice match before the season.

Hoffenheim’s residents also wanted to watch, but were told that this was a closed training and they were not allowed to watch.

This disappointed the residents.

The so-called closed training is true, but compared to those large clubs in order to block the media, Zhang Xian simply has no idea.

If you lose, it is likely to dispel the enthusiasm of the fans.

Even though the opponent is a strong team one level higher, no one likes to lose.

At 10 am, Rheinbamann’s player bus slowly entered the village of Hoffenheim.

The dark green bus stops in front of the club office building.

Before the bus, Zhang Xian and Ma Li were already standing there.

The car door opened, and a man in a white shirt and trousers walked down.

This is the general manager of the Rhein Mamba club. Taylor Hallson.

"Hello my friend!"

Hawson got out of the car, walked towards Zhang Xian with a big smile, and said, "I am very happy to receive your call."

Zhang Xian smiled and said: "A free training game, this is very enjoyable, isn't it?"

Hawson shook his head and said; "No, we came here with the mentality of testing our combat effectiveness. You see, I brought all the first team here."

Zhang Xian looked behind Howerson, Rheinbamann's players got out of the car one after another.

Among them, Zhang Xian also saw some core players, and then nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your honesty."

"Integrity is based on the foundation." Howerson finished with a smile and asked, "When shall we start?"

"Anytime, you don't need to take a break?"

"No, we also have an appointment for a training match in the afternoon."

The implication is that we are in a hurry. After dealing with you, we have to go elsewhere.

Speaking of this, Howerson rolled his eyes and smiled and said, "Our next travel expenses?"

Zhang Xian smiled and nodded: "We have packed it!"

Hulson laughed and said, "Have fun! Then let's hurry up and get started."

'Jurgen Stadium' has been put into use.

Hoffenheim players and Rheinbamann players began to warm up in their respective halves.

The coaching staff on both sides also started their own training after contact.

Zhang Xian and Howerson sat in the same stand, and they sat side by side, looking at the stadium leisurely.

Hawson touched the plastic seats under his **** and the blue and white lines that are unique to the home court, and couldn't help asking: "Have you renovated the stadium?"

Zhang now nodded and said: "Yes, this stadium has just been completed, and you are the first guests."

"This is really our honor." Howerson asked sourly, "You have been sponsored?"

Zhang now smiles without saying a word.

Hawson also gave a dry cough and turned his gaze to the court.

Mary accompanied the two of them. At this time, he took the notebook in his hand to record. When he saw the lineup of the Rheinbamann team, his expression changed.

"They are cheating, this is simply a substitute lineup!"

Mary turned her head to complain to Zhang Xian.

Rheinbaman, the strong problem comes from the midfielder.

However, their core player LeBron, who is sitting on the bench at this time, has no intention of playing at all.

Regarding this, Zhang Xian also turned his head and glanced at Howerson, who seemed to have not noticed Zhang Xian's gaze, and was still calm.

At this point, Zhang Xian also understood.

Still look down on it!

Rheinbaman did lead the first team, but not playing is another matter.

Obviously, they are simply rubbing travel expenses.

Zhang Xian did not say anything about this. In fact, Rheinbamann did nothing wrong. From the perspective of interests, this is the best arrangement.

If he thinks in another way, Zhang Xian will do the same.

Hoffenheim also noticed this scene.

Erich said with a gloomy expression: "This is underestimated."

Wagner was also unhappy and said: "They are too much, this is an insult to us."

Compared to the two, Koch said indifferently: "Dignity is earned by strength. If we don't force their main strength, then we deserve to be insulted."

Hearing this, the two of them shut up one after another, but they were always upset in their hearts.

In the stands, Zhang Xian took out his cigarette and asked: "Your team is going to upgrade this season?"

"Yes, last season we were only 2 points short of the promotion. This season we have carried out some reinforcements in order to upgrade."

Zhang now nodded and said: "I have a cooperation plan. I wonder if Mr. Howerson is interested?"

"Oh?"

Hawerson turned his head and looked at Zhang Xian in surprise: "Cooperation?"

Zhang now nodded and said; "I remember that there are several young players in Rheinbamann who could not get better training. I want to reach a partnership agreement with your team, which includes player rentals, team exchanges, and technology sharing."

"For example, those young players can be loaned to us, and we will help you pay your salary, and we will also give you some rental fees."

"In terms of team communication, we can conduct training games before each season and have the qualifications for priority training games."

"Technology sharing. This requires both parties to send technical management personnel to exchange and communicate. The period is one quarter. What do you think?"

Howerson raised his eyebrows and said: "I am only interested in the first option."

Zhang Xian took a mouthful of smoke, the smoke came out of his mouth, and smiled: "Mr. Howerson, this is a business. There are gains and losses. You can't just let us pay and not give us some benefits."

"Hahahahaha, sorry, I just made a joke."

"I don't like this kind of joke."

"Ahem." Howerson turned around and said sternly: "Then how to rent?"

"We want to rent two players, but not necessarily young players. Of course, we will only pick substitutes. The salary is a weekly salary of 150 Euros. At the same time, we give Rheinbaman a loan fee of 4,000 Euros per person, but this We need to pay the rental fee in four quarters, one thousand euros per quarter, what do you think?"

Hawson was silent. He estimated in his mind for a while, nodded and said: "It's reasonable, but the third condition of cooperation."

Zhang Xian said directly: "This is our bottom line. We need talent training in technical management. In fact, this is not free. We have already paid a lot of tuition for your team in the form of lease. If you Even if this benefit is not given to us, then we can only find other teams to cooperate. You said, is the Black Forest River Plate interested in our plan?"

Hawerson's eyelids jumped.

The Black Forest River Plate is their rival in the league. Last season, they ranked fifth, under Rheinbamann’s butt, and there is very little difference in points, and it is possible for latecomers to top it at any time.

It can be said that Zhang Xian can'give money' to anyone, but it can't be the riverbed of the Black Forest.

"Compared to the Black Forest team, I prefer Rheinbaman." Zhang Xian smiled slyly and said: "We will give you money, and you will provide us with direct impact players and skills. We both reach a win-win situation. Template, this is called a win-win!"

Hesitated again and again, Howerson nodded; "Well, I accept your cooperation proposal. When we return to the club, we are ready to sign?"

Zhang Xian stretched out his hand and smiled; "Happy cooperation! Friends?"

Howerson laughed; "Happy cooperation! Friends!"

Just as the two shook hands, cheers suddenly came from the arena.

Zhang Xian and Howerson turned their heads and looked around, and saw that the Hoffenheim players in blue uniforms were running wild in excitement.

Hawson has a bad feeling, he looks at his goal.

At this time, the ball is lying quietly in the goal.

"Shit!"

Hawson was furious.

He couldn't believe it.

How is this possible, Hoffenheim actually scored?

Although it is a training match, Rheinbamann is the team that is ready to attack the senior regional league.
