In the evening, Hoffenheim, Brave Bar.
A group of big men sat together, the most striking of them was the three men with similar faces.
The three men had different haircuts. They were tall and thin, giving people a fierce feeling.
One of them who was bald rolled up his sleeves and said with a scornful smile on his face: "I heard he is a football rookie!"
On the other side, the sturdy guy of between them smiled and said; "If he doesn't understand football, there are other ways to make money. Football is our field anyway!"
Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help laughing.
At this time, the short and thin man sitting in the middle laughed and said, "Since we are the director, we also need to give him some face, otherwise it will be difficult to work in the future."
This person's name is Erich Scherf. The other two guys are his younger brothers.
"This time, my brother can definitely be the head coach." One of the big guys said.
The other nodded and said: "Why does Wagner fight with us? Even Bach supports us."
"After driving away the old man, the Meteor team will be ours in the future!"
Hearing this, the two laughed one after another.
"Okay." Erich waved his hand and said, "We should also cheer up. If We get relegated every year it will be embarrassing for us ."
The other two big guys nodded one after another.
.
boom! !
.
At this time, an old man smashed the wine bottle on the table.All three were taken aback. Lawrence looked at them, with a cigarette in his mouth, and said: "I don't care how you make trouble, but don't hurt the Meteor team."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at them contemptuously, and said: "Take the Meteor clubs matter more seriously!"
.
At the same time, in the western restaurant.Assistant coach Bezel Wagner, shooting coach Harden Bazel and other four people sat together.
The four of them drank red wine gracefully, and Harden Bazel said, "I heard that the Scherf brothers also sent an invitation letter."
At this time, a coach on the opposite side smiled and said: "However, the director said he wants to come here!"
Unspeakable irony. Everyone also laughed out one after another.
Harden Bazel nodded and said, "It seems that he is a smart man."
"It's just that I feel sorry for scherf brothers. I guess I won't be able to see the director until one night!"
In the strange sound of glass clinking everyone laughed one after another.
Bezel Wagner elegantly picked up the red wine, everyone stopped and looked over.
"Well, gentlemen, after today, the club is expected to have a lot of changes, and we can't continue to be so confused. It is still possible to help the team advance."
Harden Bazel quickly cheered: "Long live Wagner!"
The other three shouted one after another: "Long live Wagner!"
Bezel Wagner was very happy as he quietly sipped the red wine, feeling that there was a hint of sweetness in the wine.
"It's so lively!"
At this time,a voice abrupt their talk. The four of them turned their heads and saw Zhang Xian standing not far away. Zhang Xian also smiled and reached the opposite side of Bezel Wagner. The two looked at each other, Bezel Wagner raised a glass of red wine, and Zhang Xian smiled and took a sip. The atmosphere was very harmonious, but Zhang Xian broke the harmony with one sentence.
"So, this is Mr. Wagner's camp, right?"
The scene suddenly quieted down. Bezel Wagner also looked astonished. Even if they are fighting internally, they shouldn't say it so directly. The scene was very embarrassing, and the atmosphere was extremely rigid.
At this time, Harden Bezel smiled and said: "What kind of camp are you talking about? there is no such thing."
Zhang now pretended to be distressed, and said: "Then Why don't you meet me together? The coaches called me separately.If you met me together I wouldn't have to run to two places at the same time."
Bezel Wagner frowned slightly,He took a deep look at Zhang Xian, and then smiled: "Did they call you too? We didn't know."
"Ha ha."
Zhang Xian's voice was extremely ironic as he looked up at Wagner and asked in teasing voice: "They? Us?What are you talking about now?
The atmosphere became cold.
Everyone's eyes looking at Zhang Xian were not so friendly anymore.
And Zhang Xian said self-consciously: "Yes, I will go there too, because he is the chief assistant coach, so I'll have to go say hello first."
Harden Bazel was a little uncomfortable, and asked: "What will you say after going there?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xian turned his head and looked at each other again while revealing a weird smile.
.
.
Some time passed and Zhang Xian stepped into the Brave Bar.
The noisy bar fell into silence.
The three Scherff brothers looked at him with unwelcoming eyes, while Lawrence glanced in surprise, and immediately seemed to understand something.
Zhang Xian looked around, ignored those gazes, and walked straight to the stage.
"A glass of dark beer, thank you!"
Lawrence stretched out his hand and said: "4 euros."
Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows and said: "Why Don't you invite me this time."
Lawrence smiled and said, "I also need to do business."
Zhang Xian took out 5 Euro from his pocket and handed it over, took a sip of the wine glass, and whispered:
"The rest is a tip."
Before Lawrence could speak, a voice came over.
"Beer, of course, can't keep up with the sweetness of red wine."
Erich, who was sitting in the middle, finished speaking, and said in a gloomy tone: "You are late."
The atmosphere on the bar was very solemn.
Erich and Zhang Xian looked at each other in silence.
Lawrence put down the cup in his hand and picked up the phone. As long as they dared to make a scene he would call the police.
"Yes, I went to see Mr. Wagner first."
Zhang now confessed openly, which made the Scherf brothers face worse.
Even Lawrence was surprised. He never expected that the Chinese would directly admit it.
Erich narrowed his eyes and said, "Want to step on two boats?"
Zhang Xian asked with a weird look: "Two boats? Aren't we the one the same team?"
One sentence choked the three of them. Lawrence was even on the verge of laughing after seeing their faces.
Zhang Xian: "."
Erich: "."
Zhang Xian turned his head and looked at Lawrence, faintly said; "You have so many dramas going on here!"
Lawrence smiled and said: "It's to set off the atmosphere, you guys can continue."
Erich was getting impatient as he said straightforwardly: "So what do you want to do?"
Zhang Xian shook the dark beer in his hand and smiled at the scherf brothers.The three brothers did not show any weakness, but Zhang Xian's gaze made them feel very uncomfortable.
.
.
The next day, the atmosphere in the club office building was strange.
Because at eight o'clock in the morning, there were two rows of people standing in front of the conference room.
The three Scherf brothers, dressed in coaches' costumes, stood upright on the left side of the door.
Wagner is standing on the other side of the door.
The two groups still disagree with each other as they were staring at each other angrily. The situation felt like they could fight each other at any time.
But for some reason, they all held back
In the office area, Mary and others looked at them curiously.
"what happened?"
Mary asked quietly.
Ivan shook his head and said, "I heard that they met with Mr. Director yesterday, and now they are here."
"So." Mary looked incredulous and said, "Did they lose?"
Ivan pondered for a while and said: "From the current situation, it is like this."
"How did he do it?" Mary couldn't help but exclaimed.
Snapped! !
There was a clapping sound from behind.
Mary turned her head and found Zhang Xian smiling and looking at her and said:
"This is a man-made thing!"
The meeting room is much more lively than the first day.
In addition to the high-level officers of the club, the coaching staff is also invited to participate in the meeting.
The three Scherf brothers, Wagner and others, who had been fighting each other before, kept a strange silence.
Although the two groups were sitting opposite each other, they did not quarrel.
This made Mary and the others feel even more shocked. They couldn't help but look at Zhang Xian, who was collecting information in the middle, and wondered how this Chinese did it.
"Then, I will statrt to announce!"
Zhang Xian's voice lifted everyone's spirits.
Mary even felt that Erich and Wagner's expressions became even more depressed, and they couldn't help but look at Zhang Xian curiously.
"First, the head coach will stay!"
Everyone in the meeting room stared sharply. Everyone looked at Zhang Xian with shocked faces.
And Erich and Wagner gritted their teeth, with an unhappy gesture.
"We will sign a two-year new contract with the head coach. This part has been approved by the club chairman."
{Flashback}
.
The night before, In the Brave Bar.
Lawrence subconsciously pulled out his beard and as a result his face was in pain.
But he ignored the pain and turned to look at the Chinese.
But from the other person's expression, there is no lie at all.
"Who decides ?!!!"
The three brothers glared at Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian stretched out his thumb to point to himself, and said: "Me!"
In this scene, the three of them turned pale.
Frank's face was a little red, he shouted: "Can you be responsible? What will you do about the fans and publics opinion ?"
Zhang Xian was quite relaxed as he said: "I don't care about this, let's talk about other thing."
Zhang Xian turned his head to look at Lawrence, while pointed to Scherf and others, and said: "Between Them and the coach, who do you choose?"
Lawrence was a little surprised, how could he still have his own business.
Zhang saw him scratching his head and said: "Koch! Even though he is old, we still trust him."
Erich felt cold and exasperated: "What about the players?"
Zhang now waved his hand impatiently: "I don't care. I hope you can recognize one thing and that is the employment relationship."
Zhang Xian pointed to himself and said proudly: "I am Party A!"
.
In the western restaurant, Zhang Xian was cutting steak, while Wagner and others looked sluggish.
The fundamental purpose of the struggle between the three Scherf brothers and the Wagner camp is for the coach.
Now, Zhang Xian has renewed the head coach, and there is no point in fighting between them.
"To be honest, in fact, I don't need to come this time."
"I can tell you directly, but it's impolite to do this, isn't it?"
Wagner and others did not dare to breathe. When the head coach renewed their contract, they had already lost the initiative.
"Of course, you can also use your power to do something, but don't blame me for being too Aggresive then." Zhang Xian stared at Wagner, which made the latter feel as if he was on pins and needles.
In fact, he really wanted to encourage the players to protest and create pressure on Zhang Xian.
But combined with the news of 'layoffs' and 'salary cuts' he heard about, now he suddenly discovered that the purpose of this Chinese is not to deter the coaching staff but to rectify the team.
While this speculation shocked him, he was full of panic.
Ding!
Zhang Xian picked up the spoon and tapped the plate, making a crisp sound, and whispered: "Respect! I am here to be polite, and I also hope to be respected by you!"
"Actually, I don't expect you to shake hands and make peace. You can continue to fight, but there is a prerequisite." Zhang Xian squinted his eyes and said: "The content of your fight is up to me. Oh, yes, it should be called competition. Be more relevant, what do you think?"
Speaking, Zhang Xian picked up the wine glass and waited for Wagner's statement.
Wagner's face was full of entanglement. After a while, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He held up the wine glass with a frustrated expression and said, "As you wish."
Zhang showed a satisfied smile and sipped his wine.
"Happy cooperation!"
{Sinsheim, in a residential building}.
Zhang Xian sat face to face with an elderly man.
There is a contract in front of the two of them.
This person is Hoffenheim's head coach David Koch.
"I already thought about retirement."
David Koch's wrinkled face showed a hint of helplessness. He sat in a rocking chair with a blanket on his body, pointing to his legs and said; "My legs and feet can no longer support daily training."
Zhang Xian nodded and said: "I understand your difficulty, but please understand our situation. The Meteor Team needs you."
"You" Dawed Koch pointed at Zhang Xian and smiled wryly again.
"I can't suppress Erich and Wagner."
Zhang Xian shook his head and said: "I will support you and let you regain your rights."
After finishing speaking, before David could refuse Zhang Xian pointed to the contract and said: "This is a brand new contract. The salary will be adjusted somewhat compared to the previous one, but it contains our sincerity, and this is a two-year period. If you are unable to attend training or competition due to physical problems during this period, we will still pay wages."
David opened his mouth, and he found that Zhang Xian had blocked his words.
However, he still asked: "How is the salary adjusted?"
Zhang Xian truthfully said: "Part of the reduction, but not for you, but every player will get a salary reduction."
David frowned and said: "This will cause a lot of contradictions."
"But it is good for the club's interests."
David looked at zhang as he said: "You are the first director who dared to do this. Are you not afraid to irritate the players?"
Zhang Xian smiled and said: "I think they will understand, this is for a better future."
Finally, when he was about leave,David Koch asked: "Do you agree with Bauer's philosophy?"
"Bundesliga?"
"Yes!"
"I agree!"
Even when Zhang Xian was gone David Koch was still looking at the place where zhang went out.After a long time he said with a sigh: "What a good helmsman!"
"Why? Just because he agrees with Bauer's philosophy? Don't you always say that Bauer is daydreaming!"
An old lady walked out from his behind, she was David Koch's wife.
David just chuckled about this and said: "He is not the same as Bauer. This is a very realistic person. He is an interestist. This kind of person is worthy of trust!"
The old grandma teased: "So, the Meteor team is going to the Bundesliga?"
"why not?"
". Koch, you have become stupid!"
"Maybe I have"
