From the Country Team To the Rich

Another two weeks passed by.

After half a month, the Hoffenheim club played better and better after stabilizing.

Now that they have won four consecutive victories, they have come to the second place in the league when Rhine Bamain was tied in the away game, only 3 points away from the leader Black Forest River Plate, which is just a matter of one game.

But compared to these, Zhang Xian is more happy about the home attendance.

In the past three weeks, 12,000 fans have flooded Hoffenheim's home stadium.

The attendance rate of games every weekend can be stabilized at about 4,000. This kind of football market is not only in the sixth tier, but even in the fourth tier of Germany, it is also in a hot state.

Moreover, Hoffenheim has divided the stands and sold them at different prices.

There are two levels in total, the first level is 30 Euros, and the second level is 15 Euros.

This allows them to earn close to 90,000 Euros per game, cutting off half of the away games in the 38 rounds, and the income is more than one million.

From the sale of tickets alone, Hoffenheim can be self-sufficient and have a surplus, but there are also a lot of other income.

For example, Hoffenheim's "upgraded jersey" sales event just released by Hoffenheim, 100 sets of genuine "upgraded jerseys", each priced at 200 euros, was sold out on the day of the sale.

There is even a shortage of supply.

This set of jersey itself has commemorative significance, for which Hoffenheim fans are extremely enthusiastic.

In addition to these jerseys, the sales of player jerseys have also made great progress.

Ji'an and Wei Rauch sit firmly in the top spot in buying jerseys.

Ji'an was born in the youth training of Sonal, and he is his own for Hoffenheim fans. They naturally like the wing supercar trained by Hoffenheim.

And Wei Rauch is well-known in himself, and he has also performed well in recent rounds.

The frontcourt attack organized by him made Hoffenheim make up for the lack of experience, and made Gyan and Biartini fire.

In this case, Hoffenheim fans prefer Wei Rauch.

In addition to these two, other people's jersey sales are also very good.

At the moment when the number of fans increased sharply, there was a buying wave, which made Hoffenheim earn 150,000 euros in a short period of time.

This made Hoffenheim earn a lot of money, and they lived the lives of rich people for the first time.

 …

Recently, there has been another huge shock in Germany.

The scale of this shock is extremely large, almost involving five Bundesliga teams and six Bundesliga teams.

These eleven clubs jointly signed a letter to the German Football Association, requesting them to abolish the '50+1' policy, so that German football can attract enough capital to settle in.

Its huge scale and firm attitude can be said to be the most in the history of German football.

On October 5th, the general managers of these eleven clubs went to the German Football Association to complain about the resource monopoly in German football.

They said that Bundesliga teams such as Munich 1900 and Borussia Dortmund rely on the 50+1 policy to monopolize Germany's internal resources, resulting in a situation of "one super and many strong" that will remain unchanged for thousands of years.

They hope that Germany will abolish the 50+1 policy, attract capital inflows, allow small teams to obtain the right to fair competition, allow their clubs to complete financing and go public, and make the Bundesliga more commercial and influential.

This incident broke out as if suddenly, almost catching the German Football Association by surprise.

Among them, a famous German football star spoke up, and the public opinion was overwhelming.

There is a faint trace of capital behind this.

The '50+1' policy has been deeply ingrained in Germany, and many fans regard the club as their own private property, causing chaos for a while.

Faced with such a mess, the German Football Association is also the first to appease the fans.

The newly appointed president of the German Football Association, Mathias Sammer, was furious and forced eleven general managers to send them home.

Although Mathias Sammer is a reformist, he may also be inclined to abolish '50+1', but the problem is... not now!

This incident exploded quickly, but ended somewhat anticlimactic.

In the end, Mathias Sammer suppressed eleven rebel clubs.

But after this incident, heated discussions about '50+1' in Germany have begun to flourish.

[Is '50+1' really suitable for today's German football? 】

[Old Germany is killing German football with its old policies! 】

[German football needs reform! 】

And other topics, filled the entire German football.

Of course, there are also some media that maintain '50+1'.

['50+1' is the umbrella of Germany, once it comes into contact with capital, the consequences will be disastrous! 】

[Stupid rebel club, they want to subvert German football! 】

[Support '50+1', this is the umbrella of small teams]

[Resolutely resist football becoming a plaything of capital! 】

At the beginning, the voices supporting the abolition of '50+1' were very strong, but as time passed, these voices gradually disappeared. On the contrary, there were more and more voices supporting '50+1'.

This should be the result of the intervention of the German Football Association, but even so, the conflict has not been completely resolved, and both sides are arguing and arguing endlessly in the media.

 …

Inside the Hoffenheim director's office.

Zhang Xian talked to Hauersen, the general manager of Rhine Barmann.

The two puffed at each other, and Hauersen suddenly said melancholy: "Do you think Germany will abolish '50+1'?"

Zhang Xian looked at Halson in surprise. He didn't expect this trend to reach the lower leagues.

"Do you wish to abolish it?"

Halson scratched his head and said, "I don't know, but I always feel that it doesn't affect us."

Zhang Xian smiled, there was nothing wrong with that.

Whether the '50+1' is abolished or not has nothing to do with the low-level teams.

Capital does not pay attention to low-level teams. The meat-eating teams are the Bundesliga and Bundesliga teams. They can't even drink soup.

In fact, this 'farce' ultimately stems from the influence of the Premier League'Stanford'.

When the Russian tycoon waved the ruble to buy people, it always had an impact on some teams.

They see that Stanford is slowly rising and getting better. With the strong support of capital, they have achieved such results, how can they be envious.

And '50+1' is the barrier for capital to enter the German market, and they naturally want to eliminate this barrier.

But Germany is simply unable to undo it, or rather, Germany 'now' is unable to undo it.

Zhang Xian feels that these eleven general managers are a little stupid.

They were used as guns.

It is estimated that there is capital operation behind it, but it should also be instigated by wealthy families.

Yes, the executives of such teams as Munich 1900 and Dortmund may also want to lift the '50+1'.

It is true that the existence of '50+1' has established the Bundesliga's situation of 'one super and many strong' that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

But for these Bundesliga powerhouses, their eyes are always on Europe, not at home.

Their opponent has never been a certain domestic team, but those powerful teams from all over Europe.

Even the most fundamental beneficiaries of the lifting of '50+1' are these German powerhouses, not the so-called small German teams.

How can they not be jealous when capital is pouring into Europe and other league teams are making profits.

It is not good news for them to watch their opponents become stronger step by step.

If UEFA does not issue a policy of restricting capital, then Germany's '50+1' will definitely be abolished, but not now.

They are more calm than expected, they are waiting for an opportunity.

When the east wind comes, this big rebellion against '50+1' will sweep the whole of Germany after all.

This buffer period is why Zhang Xian has been pressing for an upgrade.

He doesn't want to miss this golden dollar football storm, so he has to upgrade quickly and climb to the Bundesliga stage when the '50+1' still exists.

Once the '50+1' is lifted in advance, it will be a disaster for Zhang Xian or Hoffenheim.

Fortunately, this storm came and went quickly.

But the influence still exists, for example, this topic has been officially brought to the public's attention.

Zhang Xian doesn't know how long the '50+1' can last, but he hopes to give himself a few more years to manage it.

Zhang Xian shook his head slightly, put these messy thoughts behind him, looked at Hauersen and asked, "I don't think you're here to discuss major events in German football with me, are you?"
