Recently, Hoffenheim has been in a state of extreme excitement.

Every day, a large number of media reporters enter the village and contact the club for interviews.

The interview session ranged from the history of the club to individual players, and even the youth training was included in the interview session.

After Hoffenheim reached the final of the German Cup, the discussion of Hoffenheim throughout Germany has not stopped.

A low-level team reached the final of the German Cup. This unprecedented event cannot be explained by luck alone.

If it is said that Hoffenheim advanced steadily by luck in the early stage, but after the quarterfinals, their opponents are Wien Hamburg, Dortmund and Flenburg.

These three teams are Bundesliga teams. How lucky is Hoffenheim to beat these three teams?

So, Hoffenheim's victory wasn't just luck.

Here are the keys that people don't know about, and it's the job of the media to discover them.

A group of media reporters came to Hoffenheim.

They found a very interesting phenomenon, that is, Hoffenheim's internal competitive pressure is not only in the first team, but also runs through the youth training.

The first team players consciously regard Sonal's U16-18 echelon players as potential competitors.

And different from the architectural form of other training bases, Hoffenheim has adopted a model in which the youth training is connected to the first-team training ground.

The two sides are only separated by a mesh fence, and the training methods of the first team can be clearly seen at the youth training base.

For this design, the reporters are quite interesting.

They found Barton, a midfielder who had recently been promoted from the youth training to the first team, for an interview.

"Competitors?" Barton sat on the lawn with bare feet and smiled, "Yes, we do consciously regard them as potential competitors!"

"Hoffenheim's promotion model is different from other teams. In the internal youth training league, oh no, it should be called the 'Youth League' now. In this league, young players are very good at playing games. Every year there will be 1-2 small players are promoted to the first team."

"And the young players are hungry for first-team play,

For example, two years ago, my biggest expectation was to come to the other side of the fence! "

His eyes fell on Barton's face, and the young man showed a bright smile.

Barton is undoubtedly a model of successful youth training. He is already a main player in Hoffenheim.

 …

In the conference room of the office building, a group of executives gathered again.

"How much is the German Cup jackpot?"

With a happy smile on Mary's face, she said: "In the semi-finals, our accumulated prize money has reached 4.25 million euros, and after reaching the finals, we will be able to get a bonus of 10 million euros."

Last year, the DFB boosted the prize money for the DFB-Pokal in an effort to encourage domestic competitiveness.

In the past, winning the championship could only get a total bonus of 10 million euros, but now you only need to reach the finals to accumulate bonuses to 10 million euros.

The bonus for winning the championship has been increased to 20 million euros.

Hoffenheim became the first beneficiary after the German Cup bonus restructuring.

Prize money will be distributed after the entire cup competition.

"How is the league going?"

Luna got up and reported: "The league promotion quota has been determined. With only one round left, Eichersburg won the championship ahead of schedule and won the promotion quota for the Southern Regional League. We will devote more energy to the German Cup. For this reason Only third in the league."

Zhang Xian nodded slightly. In fact, he couldn't say he was disappointed. After all, this was something they had decided a long time ago.

The DFB-Pokal takes precedence over the league, an issue that was drawn up at the beginning of the season.

But when it really came to this moment, I was still a little helpless.

After all, their next step is the Bundesliga, which is the level of the national competition.

But there is something to gain. This season Hoffenheim put all their eggs in one basket in the German Cup, and they also achieved excellent results.

The most important thing is that they expanded their influence to the Rhine-Neckar region and successfully entered the fan market in this region.

The DFB-Pokal semi-final was such a success that Hoffenheim was being discussed in cities, counties and villages across the Rhein-Neckar region.

"What's the arrangement for the final?"

Luna continued: "The final of the German Cup will be held at the Berlin Olympic Arena. The two sides are 1900 Munich and Hoffenheim. The Berlin Olympic Arena has 110,000 seats. The German Football Association has prepared 40,000 seats for each team. Seats, and the rest are reserved for local people to buy tickets!"

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Mobilize newspapers all over the world to spread the news, we have to gather these 40,000 people!"

joke!

It's all money!

Although they have to share with the German Football Association in proportion, it is also a lot of income.

If you can make up enough, you can't let it go!

Clap clap! !

Zhang Xian clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and said loudly: "Okay, gentlemen and ladies, we have completed most of the plans, and I believe you have also completed your summaries, so I don't need to say anything more here , let’s talk about what’s next.”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts became hot.

The next thing, this means that Hoffenheim will leave the low-level leagues and set their sights on the national level.

"Starting next season, Hoffenheim's goal will return to the task of upgrading. We want to break into the Bundesliga in the shortest possible time!"

"In order to realize this plan, the first step we need to achieve is signings!"

Zhang Xian looked around the crowd, and finally turned his gaze to Ivan, the youth training director, and said, "Iwan, how is your contact going?"

"I have convinced two players that they would like to return to Hoffenheim."

Having said that, Ivan showed a relieved smile on his face.

Those young players who were 'sold' by him have always been a barb in his heart, and now he can call these young players back, which makes him feel more at ease.

But unfortunately, many young players failed to finish their careers smoothly, and they gave up the path of professional football due to various reasons.

Zhang Xian nodded, turned his gaze to Braden and asked, "What's the feedback from the transfer market?"

"There are not many 'stars' invested in this year's transfer market, especially there are only two 'stars' who meet our conditions!"

"Goalkeeper Roddy of Spain's "King Society" and Kakaro of Italy's San Siro Milan!"

Zhang Xian frowned slightly, and said, "Kakaro? That Brazilian star?"

Kakaro rose in San Siro Milan, known as the "chaser boy", set a transfer record in 2007, and joined the King of Madrid!

When everyone thought that the King of Madrid would bring him the highest honor, no one thought that there would be the beginning of a nightmare.

Constant injuries have worn away the edges and corners of this Brazilian chasing boy!

Repeated failures made him lose his former self-confidence!

Unknowingly, four years passed by, and what he left behind in the club that should have been honored was devastated.

When the state declined and public opinion broke out, Kakaro, who had set foot in Spain in high spirits, could only return to his old club with a sad look.

But even in Serie A, where the competition is relatively easy, Kakaro failed to show any good performance.

From spring to winter, six years passed by in a flash.

Now Kakaro suddenly finds that he no longer has a place for himself in Europe.

After obtaining the consent of his old club, the 31-year-old Kakaro appeared in the European transfer market with a transfer fee of only 9 million euros, which was in stark contrast to his high spirits when he first joined the King of Madrid.

And this is Kakaro's last stubbornness!

In the director's office, Zhang Xian looked at the transfer information on the computer.

He squinted his eyes, suddenly took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Menderson, I need the phone number of Kakaro's agent!"
