Godfather Of Champions

The only light source in the dim video projection room came from the large screen directly in front, and the heavy curtains closed tightly to make the room night. The German Dunn that keeps ringing in the room is completely incomprehensible, but it is not important. He can know what the narrator is talking about only by filling in his brain. The key is that he can keep jumping from these. I heard a word repeatedly in the German language:

"Ibisevic!"

Every time the passionate commentator calls out this person's name, a goal is born on the screen.

Sometimes the narrators don’t shout like that, they will shout: "Super Ibi!"

But no matter what you call the tall player on the screen, he is always scoring goals.

He shot hard, he jumped up the header, he leaned on the opposing defender and turned and volleyed...

"Although just watching the highlights, any player will become a powerful character like Pele and Maradona. But at least we can know what the strengths of each other are. He is very good at scoring goals." After watching the video, the screen went dark and the room was dark. Into the darkness. Dunn said in the dark. "Also, let me ask, is there no one sitting next to the switch?"

"Just the three of us, Tony, Tang and I are still by your side." Chris Lak's voice sounded in the darkness. "In addition, the data shows that his assists are also very good."

"Okay, I'll go..." Dunn knocked down the chair next to him just as he stood up. He wailed, and then cursed, "Damn chair!"

Tang thoughtfully took out his mobile phone to illuminate Dun En, but the light was too weak.

Dunn didn't fumble anymore. He stretched out his foot and knocked over everything in front of him. He went to the switch and turned on the light in the room. The white light let out, causing all three people present to squint their eyes.

The house was in a mess, and several chairs were lying in the house.

Dunn then helped them up and put them away again.

"Back to the topic just now. What do you think of this person?"

Don did not say a word, Chris Lak shook his head and said: "We watched his video a season ago. His performance that season was a miracle. But Tony, the Bundesliga often has these'civilian shooters who can only be popular for a season. 'Look at his performance last season. It's totally different from him in the video. I don't like him."

Dunn did not express his opinion, but just turned his attention to Tang.

"This is an adventure, Tony." Tang's words were simple, but he had no clear objections. To be honest, he couldn't make up his mind.

Dunn nodded: "I can understand your concerns. In the 08-09 season, he scored 37 goals alone and almost broke Ged Muller's single-season record of 40 goals. It is definitely a miracle. The same performance. Looking at the performance of that season alone, we may not be able to buy it even if we take 30 million. However, his performance in the 09-10 season is completely incomprehensible. He only scored ten goals in a season... It’s a far cry from last season’s performance."

"Since you all know, why should we watch his video?" Chris Lak asked.

"Because I think this man's success is not accidental, on the contrary, his strange performance last season is accidental." Dunn laughed. "I like the story behind him, and I like his character. I think his success is definitely not luck. There are many reasons for his poor performance last season-one is the set designed by Rangnick for Hoffenheim. The tactics have been thoroughly studied by the Bundesliga team. Hoffenheim is not a promotion, but a Champions League team. Naturally, no one will look down upon them. Second, as the Bundesliga top scorer and European top scorer in the 08-09 season, Ibisevic is under the focus of the opponent's focus, which somewhat limits his performance; thirdly, multi-line combat makes Hoffenheim's team tired and poor, which affects Ibisevic's goals. ; Four are injuries. He suffered an injury last season, and after a two-month break, he can no longer find his form. This is a bit strange to say, but it is understandable. The state is not something we can completely Master. So I think the sharp drop in the number of goals he scored last season has nothing to do with his personal ability...Want to hear why I am optimistic about him?"

Chris Lak nodded.

"Psychology." Dunn retracted the three fingers that he had just raised, leaving only one. "Why do I say that his success is not accidental? Look at his experience of playing in low-level leagues and as a substitute. Those are valuable assets for a striker. He has a good mentality and has never given up being an excellent player. The killer’s efforts. This is very important. Bayern Munich’s leading striker Luca Tony was also unhappy before Florence became famous, but he eventually broke out. I believe Ibisevic can become the second Luca Tony. It’s just that. He needs a broader stage. Hoffenheim is no longer suitable for him. No matter how rich the boss is, he will not be as rich as the UAE royal family. After spending so much money, Manchester City did not win any championships, Hoffenheim Nor. I think Nottingham Forest is a new big stage for him to play to his fullest."

"In addition, thanks to his terrible performance last season, now we should not spend too much money to shoot. And as a Bosnian who has lived in the United States, he also speaks fluent English. It doesn't exist to play in the UK. Any language problems will help him to integrate into the team better and faster. The striker needs to adapt to the team's style as soon as possible, which is good for him."

Chris Lak looked at Dunn: "Actually, you made up your mind a long time ago, right?"

Dunn smiled and said, "Don't say that, David. I always listen to your opinions."

"You've said everything that should be said, what else can we say. Don't we, Don?" Chris Lack turned to ask Don who was sitting next to him.

"Tony believes that a player's psychological quality determines his achievements." Tang replied. "I have reservations about this. But as an assistant coach, I support the work of the head coach."

Dunn clapped his hands, "Then it's settled! Let our people go and explore Hoffenheim's tone tomorrow!"

※※※

The small village of Hoffenheim with a floating population of only 3,300 people belongs to Sinsheim in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, but Sinsheim is actually not a big city. Although it is a city, it is not much different from a "town". After the train passed Sinsheim Station, it was a monorail, a veritable little station.

But it is such a humble place that caused a whirlwind in the Bundesliga and European football in the 08-09 season. As they were promoted and participated in the Bundesliga for the first time in history, they won the league runner-up. The team's top scorer Vedad Ibisevic became the Bundesliga top scorer that season and won the European gold medal. Boot award.

It was a crazy season. After the end of the season, all the players of the Hoffenheim team attracted the rush of German and European teams.

But the club owner, Dietmar_Hopp, the owner of the European software giant "SAP", has ambitions and is not short of money. So one person did not sell, but also introduced a number of players to supplement their strength, ready to show their skills in the European arena in the new season.

Unfortunately, football is round...

The results of the team's two-line combat in the new season are all set down.

The Golden Boot Ibisevic, who performed well last season, also seemed to have lost his shooting boots overnight. He scored only ten goals in the league, and he only scored three goals in the UEFA Champions League, which is far from what everyone expected of him. far.

Regarding his sudden outburst and silence again, even the team's head coach Rangnick could not figure out: "Why can he score 37 goals in a season and only 10 goals in a season. This is the same as before. I only scored five goals in a single season in Bundesliga, which makes me wonder."

Don't talk about him, Ibisevic doesn't understand it himself. He believes that he has made great progress compared to before. At least after a successful Bundesliga debut season, his confidence has been greatly strengthened and consolidated. In terms of technology, there is absolutely no such thing as a step backward, so what makes you suddenly lose your state?

Perhaps this will become a famous unsolved mystery in German football...

It only takes ten minutes to drive from Sinsheim to Hoffenheim, and the distance between the two is really short.

After Vedad Ibisevic drove his car into Hoffenheim, he would often meet the oncoming villagers of Hoffenheim to greet himself. This is a peaceful small village... even if the people here experienced the first European Champions Cup trip in history last season.

But Ibisevic is not in the mood to greet those fans who like him one by one. He has his own troubles.

Just before driving to the Diego Hope Stadium for training, he received a call from his own agent, Stars&Friends’.

The agent from the agency asked him on the phone if he was interested in playing for another club.

He received many such calls last summer. Manchester United, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Barcelona... European giants have come almost everywhere, all for one purpose-to take him away from the small village of Hoffenheim.

At that time, he still had a one-year contract with the club, but he refused all of them and chose to renew the contract with the club until 2013. He succeeded in Hoffenheim and had a great time. He could not think of a reason to leave here. Is it just because Hoffenheim is a little smaller? But I like life in a quiet country very much. Sinsheim can sell all the daily necessities I need. I don't think the big cities have any advantages over Sinsheim.

But one year later, I don't know if he will regret the choice at that time.

He didn't see what he wanted to see in the new season. His state and the state of the team are declining, Hoffenheim's great plan has not developed smoothly, and Hope's ambitions have encountered setbacks. He was also labeled as "the most dazzling meteor in Bundesliga history".

The giants that were once interested in him all quit without exception. The number of scouts appearing in the stands of the Rhein-Neckar Stadium is decreasing, and everyone shook their heads and sighed that he is another Mintal-"A whole season's goal has been scored."

The biggest problem is not that there are fewer goals, but that he has no idea why this is the case.

Before the injury, he couldn't pick out any physical problems. The routine medical examinations in the team before the start of the season made the team doctors slap his tongue and praise him as a bull.

In the middle of the season, German media reported that Ibisevic's mentality was out of balance-he hoped to get the first salary and related treatment in the team, and some rumors off the court also interfered with his normal training. He sneered at it. Only he himself knows his mentality in this world. He has never relaxed his requirements because of his success last season. Because the years of wandering in the European low-level leagues before, he has long understood one thing: there will be no good things in the world, and the success of one euro requires 11 million euros.

Perhaps injuries can explain some of the reasons? But that's not an injury serious enough to threaten his career. No professional player is not injured once during the kick. If he suffers an injury, he will sink completely, so he is not suitable for being a professional player. Ibisevic doesn't think he is that kind of person.

After returning from injury, he still trains himself for half an hour after training every day, and has no complaints about coach Rangnick's arrangement. But he and Rangnick were caught in an inexplicable crisis together-after that season, he was no longer the "Super Iby" who frightened the Bundesliga powers. More often, he was just wasting and looking for opportunities. Wandering, the team lost their qualifications for the UEFA Cup, and Rangnick was also rumored to be fired by Hope in the middle of the season.

Another summer came, and the transfer market was in full swing. Ibisevic, who made the whole of Europe crazy last summer, suddenly "snips in front of the goal". There are still teams interested in him, but they are all second-rate teams. Going to a team like that might as well stay in Hoffenheim to find opportunities to prove yourself again.

But the call from the brokerage company today mentioned a completely different name-Nottingham Forest.

He knew that team, the history of the late 1970s and early 1980s was too far away for him, but in the summer of 2007 and 2008, this red team won the European Champions Cup for two consecutive years. It became the first team to successfully defend the title after the Champions League reform. At that time, it was famous all over the world, and it was the limelight for a time. During that time, Hoffenheim was still working hard to make it into the first division in the German third and German second leagues. The general manager of the club, Mr. Rothhouse, always used Tony Dunn’s team to inspire this young blue and white ball. Team-"One day, we will also become a team like Nottingham Forest! This is by no means an unrealizable dream!"

They almost succeeded...

Later, as the head coach Tony Dunn suffered a heart attack, this team known for its ability to create miracles suddenly lost its miracle halo and once lost the opportunity to participate in European competitions. It wasn't until the final stage of last season that Chelsea was thrilled to squeeze out and qualify for the European Champions Cup next season.

He just felt that this team was very similar to his own experience, but he did not expect to receive an invitation from Nottingham Forest.

He told the brokerage company that he must seriously consider it. Now he would not say with confidence: "I just want to fulfill the contract with the current club."

Maybe there will be new changes in another place? There was such a voice deep in his heart. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
