From the Country Team To the Rich

"There are three teams in total, one for each of the fifth, sixth and seventh divisions."

Zhang Xian fell silent.

He did not expect that the reality is often much crueler.

When he was thinking about how to lead the Bundesliga team or the Bundesliga team, the reality told him that they looked down on him.

"So, the highest level of the senior regional league?"

"That's right! They are Odinson in the fifth tier, Turkish Power in the sixth tier, and Meteor in the seventh tier."

Smith said helplessly, "That's all."

Zhang Xian looked down at the three documents in his hand, and subconsciously deleted the last document.

Seventh level?

Is this also a profession?

And the Meteors? What a bad name!

After decisively passing the pass, Zhang Xian focused on observing the remaining two documents.

At this time, Smith said: "Odinson and Turkish Force are willing to give you an interview opportunity, but they may not choose you. In fact, they are not optimistic about you."

"Because I have no experience in the football industry?" Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Smith shrugged: "This is the reality, and the time is too short, you can take a break first."

Zhang Xian still kept the two documents in his hand on the bed, and turned around to pick up the document called 'Meteor Team' again.

"How do you say this?"

Smith casually said: "Among the three teams, this team should be the most urgent one. They just copied the sports director and need a leader who can lead them to the championship."

"Oh?" Zhang Xian asked with a smile, "Let me introduce them."

"This is a country team in the seventh tier. They can't even play in the city league. In other words, they are not even considered a professional team. This is a club in the countryside under the town of Sinsheim, as I remember. , their village seems to be called... Hoffenheim?"

Zhang Xian shook his hand, raised his head and asked, "What's your name?"

Smith wondered: "Hoffenheim, what? You know this place? I haven't even heard of their upper town, Sinsheim."

Zhang Xian's gaze was a little strange.

Smith smiled and said: "But the interesting thing is that their club president likes you very much, or likes your resume. He said that as long as it can help him win the championship, he can tolerate everything."

Zhang Xian moved his eyes slightly and asked, "Tolerate everything?"

"Yes." Smith's expression was playful: "He said, he can delegate power to you, you can do whatever you want, and he has only one condition!"

"what?"

"They're going to the Bundesliga!"

After finishing speaking, Smith suddenly laughed out loud, with a sense of sarcasm in his laughter: "This is the biggest joke I've ever heard, a small seventh-tier team, they're going to the Bundesliga? Just kidding, I think Mr. Chairman is either crazy or stupid!"

The corners of Zhang Xian's mouth were slightly curved, and he asked, "Their chairman is called Hope?"

"No, no, no!" Smith said, "Their chairman is Jurgen Bauer, a 30-year-old wealthy second generation. Their family runs the sausage business of Hass Meat Union, which is very popular in Baden."

At the end, Smith shook his head and laughed: "Sometimes, I really suspect that he is a Frenchman, because they all love to daydream!"

Zhang Xian smiled and said softly; "...it's a daydream..."

 …

Sinsheim is located in Baden-Wurttemberg on the edge of Germany. This is a small town that cannot be found on the map.

Sinsheim's railway station.

Under the scorching sun, an obese man in a black suit stood with a blonde woman in a tracksuit.

The obese man received attention from the surroundings,

The figure of nearly 300 catties is like a ball of meat, which cannot be ignored no matter what.

The slim suit is worn on the body, like tights, the protruding belly and fat buttocks all show a different kind of unevenness.

The weather in July was extremely hot, coupled with the man's fat body, he was panting, sweating profusely, and his back was wet, but he still stubbornly did not take off his coat.

Today is an important day for Jurgen Bauer.

Today he will host a person who is very important to him and the club.

A week ago, he received an introduction from a headhunting company.

When he looked through his resume and saw the almost dazzling 'championship' qualifications, he couldn't help it anymore.

From 2004 to 2005, he served as the supervisor of the baseball team of Lanster University and won the championship of the college student league!

From 2005 to 2007, he served as the supervisor of the men's volleyball team of the University of Hamburg and won the continental championship!

From 2007 to 2008, he served as the sports director of the Berlin Industrial Basketball Club, the intercontinental champion of German professional basketball!

From 2008 to 2009, he served as the general manager of the Pfister Bulls American Football Club and won the German American Football League Championship!

God, can someone tell me what kind of resume this is.

Champions, all champions!

This is very important for the Meteor team, which has been in the seventh tier league and was almost relegated.

Jurgen Bauer's biggest dream is to lead the Meteor team to compete in the Bundesliga and gallop across Europe. He has worked hard for many years, but it has not been effective.

But setbacks can't hit him at all, just like the fat sticking to his body for years, Jurgen Bauer is a persistent person.

And after seeing that resume by chance, he couldn't take his eyes away anymore.

His inner cry must bring him to the Meteors, this is their God-given opportunity.

This man was born for the Shooting Stars.

After his unremitting efforts, the two parties finally signed the contract, and thinking about it now is like a dream.

But today, in order to express his importance, he personally drove to pick him up.

He believed that the other party would be moved by this.

The two stood in the crowd, Jurgen Bauer stepped on his heels, constantly looking for Zhang Xian's figure, while the woman held up a whiteboard with Zhang Xian's name written on it.

Jurgen Bauer was looking around, turning his head from time to time to remind him: "Mary, hold it up a little higher, I'm afraid Zhang won't see it."

Mary was helpless, her arms tensed.

At this time, a voice sounded.

"Are you looking for me?"

The two turned their heads and saw an oriental face carrying a portable suitcase.

Jurgen Bauer asked, "Zhang?"

Zhang Xian nodded with a smile.

Jurgen Bauer said in surprise: "Hello, I am the chairman of the Meteor club, Jurgen Bauer."

Zhang Xian was quite surprised, he never thought that the chairman would come to pick him up in person.

"It's the first time we meet, please take care of me!"

"Hey! Take pictures of each other! Hey..."

After shaking hands with the boss, Zhang Xian turned his head and extended his hand towards Mary.

"Hello."

Mary nodded, stretched out her hand and said, "You can call me Mary, I'm the finance director."

Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, the finance director was so young.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the three of them walked to the parking lot side by side.

Finally, the three walked into a slightly old van.

It was an old, battered van, cramped and smelly.

Zhang Xian, who was sitting in the back row, turned his head and took a look, and found that there were some messy things such as training clothes, smelly socks, smelly shoes, etc. in the trunk, which made him subconsciously frown.

Jurgen Bauer on the side said with a little embarrassment; "I'm sorry, the club's funds are tight, so we don't have extra funds to buy vehicles."

Zhang Xian nodded with a smile; "It's okay, we will have some in the future."

Jurgen Bauer's eyes lit up, he nodded fiercely and said, "Yes, we will."

In fact, it wasn't Zhang Xian's strong ability to bear it, but his mental preparation.

In the week before coming here, he consulted a lot of information and learned about the way of survival of small teams.

When many people mention the football club, it is nothing more than magnificent, and when they mention the players, they are all beautiful girls with luxury cars.

But those are the treatment and facilities of the giants.

An ordinary club would not dare to be so extravagant. Most of the funds would be used for the maintenance of training equipment, training expenses, and even salaries. After a year, the club could barely survive, and there was no need to think about the luxurious life.

And this is just an ordinary club. For a small country team like the Meteor, their conditions are even more rudimentary.

All the funds come from the tickets for the game. If there is no game, they can't even pay their wages.

One word can describe it, that is 'miserable'!

However, the Meteor team is really good for Zhang Xian. Under the premise of tight funds, they are still willing to pay a weekly salary of 300 Euros, which is a huge sum of money for them.

With these understandings, Zhang Xian naturally accepted all this calmly.

Hoffenheim is nearly an hour's drive from Sinsheim.

The car was very quiet, Zhang Xian didn't speak, Jurgen Bauer wanted to talk, but he didn't know what to say.

Through the car window along the way, Zhang Xian saw that the surrounding buildings were getting fewer and fewer, and people were getting less and less.

But I have to say that the infrastructure in Germany is not bad. Even in remote mountain villages, the roads are still asphalt roads, and the vehicles drive extremely smoothly.

An hour later, a small village came into view.

The quiet and peaceful atmosphere seems to heal the heart.

Zhang Xian exclaimed, "It's really a nice place."

Eventually, the vehicle stopped in front of an office building.

It is said to be an office building, but to be precise, it is a rectangular concrete brick building with a tattered plaque hanging at the door.

'Meteor Team'

The characters are also dotted with pictures of popular slides, which are rough and messy.
