As one of the largest entertainment centers in Europe, Hamburg’s nights are filled with restlessness.

The Reeperbahn located in the St. Pauli district is one of the best. Known as Hamburg's "most depraved avenue", this has been a place where sailors from all over the world have anchored and "rested" since ancient times.

The good historical tradition has been continued due to the liberalization of regulations, but it has changed from the tavern and chicken yard in the Age of Discovery to the neon red light district today.

This is not only a paradise for male tourists from all over the world to legally release themselves, but also the best choice for Hamburg locals to gather friends and start a nightlife.

After all, there is no German who doesn’t love a drink.

"The gold chain" is such a local bar that few tourists visit, not only because it is one of the few regular bars on the Reeperbahn without special performances, but also because it is a gathering place for die-hard St. Pauli FC fans.

land.

There are always muscular and tattooed men holding large beer glasses at the door of the bar. No matter how cold-blooded the outsiders are, they will not come here to hunt for sex.

It is precisely these high-quality customers who come to have a few drinks even on non-match days. The performance of "Golden Anchor Chain" has been stable. It has been in the fiercely competitive red light district for 30 years and has become a famous fan bar throughout Germany.

At this time, in the private room reserved for the St. Pauli Club in the bar, four middle-aged men were already drinking.

In addition to the three people who appeared in the chairman's office in the afternoon, the extra person was also an employee of St. Pauli.

Timo Schultz (timo Schultz) just became the head coach of the St. Pauli U17 echelon in March this year. Like Thomas Megler next to him, he was also a player of the St. Pauli team that was promoted to the first division. He retired.

Later, he first became the assistant coach of the first team, and then because he was good at communicating with young players, he simply went to coach the youth team.

The chairman, director, coach, and a newly signed player. If any St. Pauli fans broke in at this time, they might all have to go out tonight.

Fans with a straightforward personality will definitely vent their grievances against the team in wine glasses so that they can't drink and walk around.

But since Gottlich and the others dare to bring Wan Mang here, they are naturally not afraid.

Our Mr. Chairman has been watching football for many years and has been hanging around here for many years. He is a local snake. At worst, he sleeps on the street after drinking too much and is scolded by his wife.

Wan Neng was also a frequent visitor here back then, often drinking and getting into fights. Of course, his first meal when he came back was at the "Golden Anchor", where he drank the red beer, which is exclusive to St. Pauli fans.

Otherwise, old Hanks will lose his temper.

Gottlich felt as if he was home when he arrived at the bar. He had long since lost the serious look he had in the office. His expensive tie was missing, and his open shirt collar revealed a large patch of thick chest hair.

At this moment, he was holding Almighty's shoulders and shouting loudly in the ear of his old friend:

"Jack, you don't know how miserable I am. Mr. Chairman, it sounds good, but in fact it's a big mistake!"

He spent the whole night complaining about the various problems he faced after taking over the team, the pressure of performance, financial difficulties, the vacant general manager, and the upcoming transfer window. Everything tortured him all night long.

Hard to sleep.

"Look how gray my hair has turned!"

"Okay, don't make me cry. Didn't you dye it on purpose? Also, how about I ask Lisa how your sleep quality is at night?"

Lisa is Okay's wife and a good friend of Wan Mang. For a period of time, the three of them often lived and ate together. He knew what Okay was planning and would not accept this at all.

This guy is just afraid that he will not be satisfied with the contract he signed this afternoon.

The annual salary is 50,000 euros and the term is one year. This is the new contract Wan Meng signed with St. Pauli FC as a free agent.

Fifty thousand euros may sound like a lot, but in professional football, it may not even compare to the weekly salary of some famous stars.

It's not even close. Just say that if he stays at Paris Red Star FC, he will definitely get more than this, and it will be two salaries for player and coach.

"I just don't understand. When it comes to tickets, let alone Bundesliga 2, St. Pauli sells better than most Bundesliga teams. How can you do this?"

Gottlich shook his head, meaning that Universal didn't understand.

"It was only after I became the chairman that I realized that there are more places to spend money. The stadium needs to be maintained and staff salaries need to be paid. Forget about these, the biggest expenditure is the player's salary. The previous chairman wanted to be promoted to the Bundesliga as soon as possible.

, all offered high salaries, but what’s the result? You also know the result.”

He picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a big sip, and Okai continued to spray:

"It's okay if you don't say this, but I'll get angry when you say it. That old bastard Renald signed a big contract before resigning. What kind of Japanese Henry, Ryodinho? Henry and Xiao

Will Ronaldo come to play in the Bundesliga 2?"

Megler, who was sitting opposite the two of them, also sighed and said:

"The team's performance is not good, and it can't get sponsorship. This year it will cost a lot of money to renovate the stadium, so everyone in the club has to cut back on clothing and diet."

He is still thinking about sponsorship.

Wan Nang understands. To put it bluntly, it is just food. In competitive sports, results are not everything, but without results, it is absolutely impossible.

Seeing the two of them frowning when they talked about the team, Wan Neng picked up his cup and asked the three of them to touch it. As for Schultz, this guy was already lying on the table and fast asleep.

When Wan Keng saw that the two of them were a little depressed, he habitually resorted to his best tactics as a coach.

Paint cake.

"It's okay. Next season will be different when I come here. If I was just for money, I wouldn't come all the way from Paris. I only signed for one year at this time? Don't you believe me?

"I believe you..."

Gottlich, whose eyes were beginning to blur, was quickly interrupted by Megler before he could finish speaking.

"You really can't blame the chairman. This is stipulated by the management. Players over 30 years old are signed once a year. Isn't the contract written? It can be renewed at any time as long as both parties are willing."

"Yes, yes, we can renew the contract. A few of us know your strength, but the rest of the management team doesn't. You still have to conquer them with your strength and slap them in the face."

You know a hammer.

Omnipotence doesn't believe Gottlich's lies.

When he called this guy at that time, the other person was obviously hesitant. It wasn't until he sent the video of the Red Star FC game that he received a positive reply the next day.

It was obviously carefully planned.

But we can't blame them, they are familiar with each other, but work is work, and it is impossible to harm the interests of the club because of previous friendships. Let's just say that none of the four people in this box can do such a thing.

Careful calculation is the way of running a small team, and the root cause is poor risk tolerance.

If you play well, everything will be easy for you in the future. If you don't play well, a one-year short-term contract can minimize the risk.

This is the reality. The chairman of Red Star FC is willing to take the initiative to hand over the contract because Wan Mang has proven himself. Here, he is just a former professional player who has not played football for more than ten years and has long passed his prime. No,

To be precise, there is no peak period.

Gottlich and Megler were willing to sign a contract with him based only on a video of about ten minutes. To be honest, it was already very risky. To put it bluntly, they were still more or less thinking about their previous relationship. If they had changed to any other company

From a German second division club, he would have been kicked out a long time ago.

Two goals in ten minutes, a final victory, the image of a French third-tier league game is not convincing at all. The most indispensable thing on the football field is a sudden flash of genius, but the final result is not a big wave, only

Very few people can truly make this their career and stand at the top of the world.

Not to mention his age and injury history, any normal team would not waste a penny on such a player. There is only this pair of young players in front of them, and they don’t even have trial training or physical tests.

Sign the contract first.

I don’t know if it’s fun to praise them, or if they are really stupid and have too little money.

When he thought of this, Wan Mang raised his glass again.
Chapter completed!
