Three scouts and junior team coach Ivan with Zhang Xian, a total of four people, sat in the meeting room. The mood was extremely depressing. Especially those two scouts who didn't know each other. Zhang Xian didn't even bother to ask their names. Harden Bazel handed over a list of young players to Zhang Xian.
Zhang then called the corresponding youth training team to verify, and everything came to light. The ghost is these two scouts. Harden Bazel did not speak. The two scouts looked nervous, as they were constantly glancing at Zhang Xian.
Ivan's face was blue, and nobody knows what he was thinking. Outside the meeting room, a group of people gathered around. All of them heard about the frenzied buying and selling of young players.
For a time, the staff were a little shocked. In the past, they also complained about the operation of the club. But that did not rise to the moral aspect. Now that this scandal broke out everyone in the club was outraged.
The angriest was Jurgen Bauer. This fat man clamoured to strangle two ghost scouts. If it weren't for Barden and Chiellini's holding him, he would have punched them.
Zhang now has a dilemma. He didn't want to make everyone know about this matter. After all, however, they dealt with it. The club was unlucky in the end.
Because of this scandal, the club's reputation will go down a lot.
So the best way to deal with it is to keep a low profile and keep everything simple.
Snapped!
Zhang Xian slammed both hands and said; "Okay, you two. How do you want to solve it now?"
Winter and Mike looked at each other. After all the things came to open, there was only one way left for them.
"We resign!"
The two of them spoke the same statement.
Zhang nodded and said; "The two of you are still under the protection period of the labour contract. But I don't want to see drama from the labour arbitration agency. If I see any farce, then there will be a court case in front of you two."
"We understand." Winter nodded.
Zhang said: "Now get out."
The two directly got up and walked out of the meeting room.
When they opened the door, they saw the looks of disgust from the staff of Hoffenheim. The two lowered their heads and left with the hatred of the crowd.
Zhang Xian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the two leave.
He is in a really difficult situation. He also wanted to punish them strictly, but for the sake of the overall situation, he can't do this.
In the meeting room, Ivan was sitting on a chair with his fist clenched. His face was still dark. Harden Bazel looked at Ivan with some sympathy. He understood that the other party was blaming himself.
"Ivan."
Harden Bazel walked over and patted Ivan on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.
Ivan raised his head and looked at Harden Bazel. He opened his mouth, and said bitterly: "Sorry, I misjudged you."
"I don't blame you." Harden Bazel shook his head.
Ivan pursed his mouth and got up. His body was a little swayed and his footsteps were vacant he said; "Mr. Director, I'm a little tired. I'm leaving now."
Zhang nodded, watching Ivan leave.
Ivan walked very slowly. Today he had received a huge shock. He walked out of the meeting room, bowed and apologized in front of everyone, and then slowly walked out of everyone's field of vision.
Zhang Xian kept staring at Ivan's back until he could no longer see him, and then he withdrew his eyes.
At this time, in the meeting room, Zhang Xian and Harden Bazel were the only ones.
Zhang Xian glanced at the sighing Harden Bazel and said, "Bazel, you will report to the junior team tomorrow."
"What?"
Zhang Xian said: "Don't you want to train Jian yourself? I appoint you to be the chief assistant coach of the junior team."
Harden Bazel was pleasantly surprised: "This is great!"
After speaking, he cheered and left.
The problem of buying and selling small players has been solved. Despite the hasty processing, this was the best result. At the same time, Zhang Xian also discovered the loopholes in the youth team system. But at this moment, he is also powerless.
The existence of the youth team is to develop into a youth academy in the future. Today's Hoffenheim can't afford even the first team, let alone feed a youth academy. However, there must be youth training. This is Hoffenheim's follow-up force. Although it cannot be attained now. But when Hoffenheim enters the professional league, it will expand some influence and attract more sponsorships. When the club's financial situation won't be tight like now, that will be time for the youth training to develop. Now for Hoffenheim, it is a waste of time, to be honest.
They are still lacking in departments, facilities and talents. But all of this requires money. For example, to hire staff, Hoffenheim needs to pay them. Also Other departments and facilities have to spend money inside.
But Hoffenheim has no money, so they can only give up on all this.
Although Zhang Xian has many development plans in his mind, it is difficult to do without money. In the next few days, Hoffenheim was still under construction. Compared with the lifelessness of the past, a trace of vitality appeared to fill the countryside.
Especially the villagers are extremely enthusiastic. They prepare water and food for the construction teams. They are very grateful to the workers who helped them renovate the stadium and lay the training grounds.
Now, the home stadium has been almost renovated. Those broken railings are dismantled, and new railings are re-inlaid.
The original seats were also replaced with sky-blue plastic seats, and they completely reinstalled the broken roof.
The field was also overthrown and remade. After pulling up the original lawn directly, they rearranged the drainage system inside, measured the slopes and more things. After that, they waited for the ground to be levelled. Then they started planting grass seeds. Then they completed irrigation and trimming.
After half a month, the originally bare lawn is already full of greenery.
It's just that the current stadium has not yet been done. The final trimming is the key. They need to trim from different angles. Use a mechanical lawnmower to hang a pressure roller and work in different directions. The turf is often rolled after trimming, and the growth is reversed. Added with the absorption and reflection of light. So when looking down from the stands, different colours will appear.
This is also the reason for the different shades of the green lawn.
Only the last part of the home ground renovation was left. And the construction team also decorated the field intimately.
From above, one can see the blue and white lines running through the entire stadium, and the clocks and scoreboards on the sidelines are also readily available.
Although they cannot compare the stadium with the luxurious home stadiums of those big teams.
But compared to the previous dilapidated stadium, it is a world of difference.It was even better than the home stadium of some professional teams.
This makes the residents of Hoffenheim extremely satisfied.
The training ground was already completed.
The area of a football field is divided into four areas.
Each area is divided by a three-meter-high mesh fence. The ground is covered with a layer of artificial turf mats. Although there is no natural turf comfortable to step on, it was better than the previous training conditions by several grades.
The construction team was also very careful to help the villagers re-pave the roads. Due to the construction, some roads have been damaged. Many cracks and craters have appeared, and they will deal with them one by one.
It can be said that Chiellini was very attentive to help Hoffenheim rebuild the entire basic equipment.
At this time, Zhang Xian, Chiellini and Jurgen Bauer were standing together.
"Zhang, we will be finished in five days," Chiellini said with a smile.
Four years ago, Chiellini was still an 18-year-old shy boy but now he has grown into a confident guy. This guy has even grown a beard, so the whole person looks more mature.
Looking at the mechanical pruning machine moving back and forth in the home court, Zhang Xian smiled with satisfaction and said, "Man, thanks for the hard work."
Little Chiellini laughed and said: "This is our investment in you, and we will also be responsible for the maintenance of the lawn in the future."
"Yes." Zhang Xian nodded and said: "We will always leave you a billboard at home. We will tell everyone who comes here, who created the first stadium in Hoffenheim."
Yes, they created.
Chiellini and his son did no less than give life to this stadium.
Jurgen Bauer on the side also nodded again and again, saying: "Yes, you will always be friends of Hoffenheim."
Little Chiellini chuckled twice, and said: "If you have anything in the future, you can call us directly."
After a pause, he was a little embarrassed, and said; "But it can't be like this again next time."
Zhang Xian smiled lightly and said, "Next time we will give you enough rewards."
Little Chiellini nodded; "I look forward to that day."
