Star Coach

Berlin, the first round of the German Cup draw ceremony is about to begin.

Rothaus looked treacherous, "Hehe, Duraf's transfer will definitely earn an extra 1 million marks. The team's income and expenditure were basically balanced last year. The boss praised me yesterday."

Jiangshan looked at him with disdain, "Are you so happy with only 1 million? What if the player is sold for 10 million?"

"How is that possible? We are just an amateur team, don't count on it." Rothaus shouted, "Of course, it depends on you. If you lead the team to upgrade, you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price. Hehe."

"By the way, the boss wants to talk to you about a new contract. How about extending it to 5 years? All the transfer rights are given to you. The boss trusts your vision."

"It's still a two-year contract, why are you in a hurry? Besides, if we are promoted to the German Second Division next year, it will be a professional contract. I don't understand the terms of the contract, so I can't do whatever I want like now."

He doesn't have an agent yet, so he is not in a hurry to sign a new contract. The current contract terms are relatively simple, and Jiangshan can still figure it out. If it is a professional contract, the terms are complicated and he must ask professionals for help.

"Yes, it costs at least 500,000 marks to be promoted to the German Second Division. You are thinking about making a lot of money!" Rothaus teased.

"..." Jiangshan was speechless. Do I need that 500,000? I made more than one million last season. Are you pretending to be stupid?

The lights came on, and Monica walked onto the stage coquettishly, smiling and having a rare affinity for German women. After a simple opening ceremony, the first round of draws began.

Before the draw, the big screen introduced the participating teams one by one, and many amateur teams got a rare exposure opportunity.

"Hoffenheim, Baden-Württemberg League champion, unbeaten this season, crazy record." Monica said familiarly, "The most amazing thing is that their coach, Jiangshan, is only 23 years old this year, young and promising."

The light shone on Jiangshan, Jiangshan sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, smiled and gestured, clapped slightly, very low-key.

"Hurry up and go up! You have to draw lots." Rothaus was more excited than him, "This is the first time we appear in front of the German Cup draw table."

"Oh... Coach Jiangshan, hello." Monica stretched out her hand excitedly, "I follow Hoffenheim very much!"

Jiangshan shook hands very gentlemanly, "Thank you for your support."

"Tell me what you think first? Hoffenheim was undefeated last season, can it continue this season?"

"Of course not, there is no team in the world that will not fail." Jiangshan smiled, "The German Southern League is a higher-level league. We will try our best in every game. I hope that at the end of the season, we can be in the top two and get a promotion spot."

Still confident, still wanting to upgrade, ambition is obvious. Monica suddenly didn't know what to do next. Didn't she say that she should stand firm? This guy doesn't play by the rules!

"As expected of a young coach, full of vigor and strength." Monica smiled sweetly, "Blues Hoffenheim, let's wait and see!"

Jiangshan didn't say anything nonsense, he stood coolly in front of the draw table, ignoring the whispers below, the people below were all the best German team spokespersons, and they also made a fuss when they heard Jiangshan's words.

I can't believe that the head coach of a third-level team directly announced that he would be promoted after taking the stage? The German Southern League was promoted to the German Second Division, the watershed between professional and non-professional teams.

It's ruthless enough! It's also eye-catching enough. It has to be said that the name of the Hoffenheim Blues was already well-known last season. If they continue to be promoted, they will not only be famous in Germany, but also occupy a little football territory in Europe.

The ball was taken out, and Monica grabbed it, "Oberhausen, Hoffenheim will play against a team from the German Second Division in the first round of the German Cup."

The nickname of the Oberhausen club is "Four-Leaf Clover", and the team emblem is in the shape of a four-leaf clover, which is very similar to the Scottish Celtics. In 1998, they were promoted to the German Second Division, but their performance was average. Last season, they were ranked in the lower half and almost relegated.

Hoffenheim drew them, which was almost the best draw.

Jiangshan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As opponents in the southwest region, plus the advantage of home court, they had three chances of winning.

Monica came over to shake hands with Jiangshan again and watched him leave the stage, "Thank you, Coach Jiangshan."

Jiangshan spread out his hand, a small piece of paper, "Phone number? So proactive?"

After the game, Hoeness came over and said with a smile, "Coach Jiangshan, is this the first time we meet?"

"Hello, Mr. Hoeness." Jiangshan remained calm. Hitzfeld had just recruited him, and now the chairman is out again. What exactly does he want to play?

"I need your promise." Hoeness looked down, "The promise to join Bayern. We are the best team in Germany and the new Champions League champion. Talents like you should play for Bayern. We can give you the position of coach of the second team."

Bayern's second team is Hoffenheim's opponent in the first round.

"Sorry." Jiangshan didn't like the other party's attitude and tone. All the good things in the world belong to him.

"Listen to me, coach Hitzfeld will also give you the position of assistant coach, responsible for data analysis. With Bayern's platform, it will not be a problem for you to coach a top team in a few years. You are still young."

Jiang Shan smiled, "Thank you, but such things may need to be discussed with our team's general manager."

The ball was kicked to Rothaus. Rothaus quickly took the burden and raised his head, "Jiang Shan is our coach, he still has a contract with us and will not leave the team. So, your recruitment failed."

Honess looked grim, "You will regret it, we are Bayern."

"We are the Blues Hoffenheim." Rothhaus stretched his neck and said hard. Jiang Shan shrugged, "It doesn't matter, I can't help it, I just can't stand your attitude."

When Jiang Shan returned to Hoffenheim, Tuchel had already found a lot of game videos of the Oberhausen and Bayern Munich amateur teams, and he had collected all the information on all the players of the two teams.

"Plus the players from Bayern's first team."

Tuchel couldn't believe it, "No way? It's just the first game, and they will play so big?"

"Just do as you're told." Jiangshan rejected Bayern twice. Will Hoeness let him go? I don’t know, so be prepared.

In the next few days, Jiangshan worked hard to prepare for the game, mainly training the 4321 lineup. The switch between this lineup and 433 became very smooth, and the running-in effect was good.

He is ready to tighten the cage, strengthen his defense, and use sharp counterattacks to grab points.

In the last training before the start of the new season, Jiangshan is preparing to determine the main lineup. If they want to win the Bayern Munich amateur team, Bastian Schweinsteiger must start.

"Tuchel, announce the main roster for tomorrow's game."

Tuchel took out the list, and every name was carefully considered. He has a good chance of winning against Bayern's amateur team.

At this time, Rothhaus hurried over and said, "Jiangshan, it's bad, Bayern will attack us."

"They urgently recalled Bastian Schweinsteiger. They tricked us." Rothhaus was out of breath. "What should we do?"

Tuchel's list was fixed in the air, and Jiangshan beckoned, "Take a break for 10 minutes." He grabbed the list, turned around and left, "Get another list."

Bastian Schweinsteiger, deleted. Jiang Shan didn't expect Bayern to be so ruthless, it was simply a ploy to draw out wages from the bottom of the cauldron. If you offend Bayern, you will have to walk away.

Rothhaus and Tuchel looked at the closed country, "How is Lahm?"

"Don't worry, I've renegotiated Lahm's contract with them and deleted the clause of recovery at any time." This is the only thing Rothhaus can do. If Lahm is taken away again, Hoffenheim will definitely lose.
