Rotthaus is the CEO of the Hoffenheim Club. The person who invested in the club to determine the direction is Boss Ditma.Hope, but the person responsible for all the specific matters is this middle-aged man.
He was the CEO of Bundesliga's VfB Stuttgart. Resigned from VfB Stuttgart in 2005, accepted Hope's invitation to switch to the small team that was still in the Depin League. It takes some courage to make such a choice. After all, Rotthaus worked very well at VfB Stuttgart, and the income was satisfactory. I don't see any need to change places from scratch. Going to the small team in the Depin League, you will be trapped in a quagmire if you are not careful. But after a few months of deliberation, he decided to come to Hoffenheim to do some business.
If you were compared to Hoffenheim, then he has actually succeeded.
Advancing to Bundesliga The first season won the league second and also trained two German internationals, one Bundesliga and Europe's best Striker. The second season, although not as good as the season, is also stable in the middle of Bundesliga. At the very least, there is no downgrade. Their original plan is to stabilize the position of Bundesliga in two years.
Hopp and he are not eager to make Hoffenheim a team that will immediately capture Champion. Hope's big investment is first used to build new training bases and Stadiums, to find young players everywhere, they don't buy big names. Football Star.
From this point of view, it is also a miracle maker, they can be a far cry from Nottingham Forest FC.
On Season, news about Lannick's dismissal from the club was soaring, and Hope immediately instructed Rothhouse to provide Lannick with a five-year new contract. The news of Manager contract renewal soon appeared in the major media, and those rumors were not broken.
The situation encountered by the last season team was unexpected in Rotthaus, he was not disappointed. Disappointing are just strangers who have never met before but have high hopes for Hoffenheim.
Rothhouse has a big dream that may be bigger than his Boss Hope ideal – he wants to make Hoffenheim a club that can survive without relying on Hope's investment and maintain a functioning club. It is exactly the same as the famous Club that already exists in the world. Investors can change a lot of batches, but this team always exists. He and Hope will grow old one day and will die. Hoffenheim can't fall back to the seventh league because Hope is gone, they should be able to stay in Bundesliga. He must let this team gradually put aside the investment and influence of Hope and step by step.
There may be an opportunity to start the first step now.
Just this morning, he received a fax from United Kingdom.
Nottingham Forest FC asked him about the team's Striker Vedad.Whether Ibizević can be sold. The miracle of England and the miracle of Germany finally got the first formal contact.
He received countless such faxes last summer, when he did not need to ask Hope's comments and all refused. It is impossible for any ambitious Club to sell the Striker in its own team. Moreover, Hoffenheim is not short of money. Also participate in the Season's Champion Cup, he does not think Ibishevich will choose to leave.
This summer, there are a lot of faxes like this. Teams that were interested in "Super Ibie" have said that they will not introduce this once-famous Super Striker. The teams that are still interested in Ibizevich are just second-rate teams in the top leagues, or second-rate league teams.
After the last season, there was a German media ridiculed: "Ibišević was originally a Ranger in the lower league of Europe. He didn't adapt to that level of football. Maybe he changed his head from scratch and might still Will be successful. To be honest, he is not a Striker who can play the top league…"
This is a harsh word. It is the true thought of many people. Many people think that the madness of Ibizević's debut in the Bundesliga in Hoffenheim is just an accidental outbreak. In fact, he is more suitable for playing lower leagues. Hey, the second season, isn’t he being beaten back?
In fact, there is also controversy within Hoffenheim for the true level of Ibizević. Some people think that he is indeed the top Striker, and some people think that he is just lucky. It seems to be reasonable. Manager Lannick does not belong to either of these sides. But he also had a big headache for Ibishevich’s sudden and sudden bad performance.
When he first joined Hoffenheim, Hoffenheim played in the Bundesliga, he played 31 times, most of them came off the bench. Only five goals were scored. As a Striker, this data is simply terrible. At that time, the local media believed that Hoffenheim had bought the wrong person. Ibizević’s long-standing experience proved that he could not meet the requirements of Hoffenheim. It is not clear why Hoffenheim would look at it. Aachen also did not show the strength of Ibizević.
If it weren't for Beijing Olympics, perhaps Ibizević would continue to sit on Hoffenheim's bench until the contract expired, or if he was sold to the casual club by Hoffenheim, he would no longer be in charge. But fate is often so wonderful. Unpredictable, full of all kinds of changes and surprises.
His superiority is not Lannick's eye for talent, but purely a coincidence. To know that just before 08-09season, he was just a substitute for Striker in the heart of Manager Lannick. However, the main team in the team, Striker O.Brazil, will miss most of the team's preparations and seasons due to their participation in Beijing Olympics.
So Ibizević was able to play in the first round of the league.
It was this Hoffenheim's first show of the Bundesliga League in Cottbus, which became a legendary start. Never been optimistic, never been recognized, the unnamed Weidad, who has never been noticed.Ibizević scored twice in the game! Help the team beat Cottbus 3:0. Then he scored in the field. He even scored twice in the game. Even if Austria ended the Olympics back to the team. Rannick also found out that he couldn't make the status of Ibizevich a substitute, but Austrian Brazil is also a very capable Striker. He also couldn't bear to let the Striker sit on the bench. So he simply modified his Tactics and let O.Brazil, Wellington and Ibizević appear at the same time and changed to the more aggressive 433! The result received a miraculous effect. For a time, Bundesliga couldn't stop it.
Ibizevich became the best Striker, and Rannick is still saying: "For me, he is just like a player who we just introduced." ”
The second season, Ibizević, was inexplicably in a state of inferiority. Rannick spoke again: "For me, he is like a player we just introduced in this season…"
The Bundesliga marshal is also at a loss for Ibizević.
Maybe you should sell him?
This thought flashed in the mind of Rotthaus.
But he still rejected Nottingham Forest FC. He said that Ibishevich we will not sell, he is an important member of our team.
He didn't wait for the second fax of Nottingham Forest FC. He thought that this team would definitely give up. Maybe they just ask that question…
Unexpectedly, he waited for Nottingham Forest FC's Manager Tony Twain and German translation.
"Hofenheim is really a quiet little village. I like here……If I live, I will choose this place. Tony Twain, dressed in sunglasses and dressed as a tourist, and his German translator stood on the side of the training ground and watched the alone in the field through a barbed wire fence.
The normal training time has ended. The fans who had been here before have already dispersed. There are not many people left behind.
They are the fans of the person on the court.
Vedad.Ibizević is training himself in the training field. This is a thundering program – he will practice half an hour after the training. He is a Striker and there is nothing more important than shooting.
Twain looked around and his shooting skills were good, perhaps because of long-term training.
Half an hour has passed quickly. Ibizević did not go directly to the locker room, but folded it to sign the fans who were waiting outside the court.
One meter eighty-nine. The weight of 80 kilograms makes him very strong, but not heavy. He stood behind the barbed wire fence and signed the fans, then went to the front of Tony Twain.
Twain moved from the net to the blue Hoffenheim jersey, which he had just bought at the outside souvenir store, with the Ibizchek number and name, and a Mark pen, and a business card.
There will be no fans who will hand in the business card when they are asked to sign. Ibišević looked up strangely and glanced at the middle-aged man wearing sunglasses.
"Tony Twain. Nice to meet you, Ibizević. The man outside took the initiative to introduce himself.
This name is a little familiar…Wait!
Ibišević widened his eyes and asked in English directly: "You are the manager of Nottingham Forest FC? Why are you here? ”
"Because Nottingham Forest FC is very interested in you. Twain grinned.
It has been three days since he received the call from Agent, and he has not yet replied to Agent. Because he doesn't know if he should leave here. And whether he should go to Nottingham Forest FC, the team interested in him can have more than one Nottingham Forest FC.
"I watched the video of your kicking, but I think this kind of thing still has to be seen by my own eyes, so I am coming. Will you practice so much after each training session? ”
Ibizević nodded.
"No wonder, your success is not accidental. How about, go to England with me? I will help you get back to the state and get it back on the Champion Cup. Twain laughs a lot like the demon who is tempting mortals.
Ibisevich was silent for a while, then shrugged: "I don't know how to answer you. Twain Mr. Maybe you can have a new feeling in another place, but I still have a contract with Club. If the Club doesn't let me go, then it doesn't matter. ”
"Ah, you only need to show Club that you want to change your environment. Just leave us with other things." Twain patted his chest.
"I know that Nottingham Forest FC is a team that wants to participate in the new season Champion Cup, but I don't understand why you are looking for me?"There is another question Ibizevich wants to understand. In his view, the team that has the ability to compete for Champion should be able to pursue those well-known Football Stars. Anyway, the financial crisis is still in the air. Those big-name Football Stars are not expensive.
"I only buy players that meet my requirements, and I don't care if they have a reputation. Is it a big name? You are the one I need. Ibi. Come to my team, I will give you a bigger stage. ”
Ibisevich was silent for a while, then nodded: "Good, Twain Mr.. If you can convince my Club, I will first sign a contract with the Forest team. ”
After he finished his intention to leave, I didn't expect Twain to pull him: "Signature. He pointed to the jersey in the hands of Ibizev. "I am your fan, sign me." ”
Ibishevich had some helplessness signing his name on his jersey. He handed it back, but he took the business card.
He felt that it was time to change places. Anyway, he is constantly changing teams, from United States of America to France, from France to Germany, and now it is just from Germany to United Kingdom, no big deal. He changed team almost a year, and Hoffenheim is the longest team he has ever played. Do you know what the European media calls him?
Ranger.
This afternoon, Twain met with the German translation of the Hoffenheim CEO Rodhaus.
The two sides held a secret talk that was unknown.
No one knows what they talked about. It was not even known that Tony Twain suddenly ran to the small village south of Germany Frankfurt to meet Rothhouse.
A day later, Nottingham Forest FC and Hoffenheim Club officially announced that they had been the winner of the European Goldern Boot Award.Ibizević used the transfer fee of 10 million Euros to exchange the player's way of Transfer Nottingham Forest FC. The two parties signed a contract for four years, and the specific salary and other specific treatments were not announced.
The Germans came to Frankfurt's Airport to return to Nottingham's Tony Twain with Ibizević.
"He is the player I need. "Twain was surrounded by the journalists at the Airport. No matter what the doubts sound. "I don't care what you think of him. I bought it for myself, not for you. Parallel imports? You are so sure of a player's future development, why don't you resign to be an agent? I promise to make more money than you can in the newspaper! ”
"What dissatisfaction do you have? From now on, Super Ibie is my own, the player of Nottingham Forest FC. It is going to be the English Premier League league registered player. You German media can't manage it. ”
"I believe in his ability, I am willing to give him the opportunity to prove it again…I see people have problems with their eyes? Yes, but I can take Champion, it depends on the 'parallel' that I am looking at. ”
"I am spending money on the Club?" I am willing, can you manage it? ”
……
In a loud noise and doubts, Ibizević was dragged by Twain to take a flight from Germany to United Kingdom.
Eleven years ago, Ibizević, who was only fifteen years old, left the country where the war broke out and briefly stayed in Switzerland. As a result of the visa issue, he did not have legal residency rights, so he traveled to the United States of America to visit relatives. He insisted on his professional football dream in the United States of America football-desert country, and relied on the coach of France Ligue 1 giant Paris Saint. Germain FC to return to Europe, when he returned to Europe. Nineteen. He was then given to the second team of the French League in Loaned, and he quickly got a chance to play and scored some goals. I have seen many new things. Then he was terminated by Paris Saint. Germain FC. Just like the situation faced by any young man without a future. Fortunately, he was followed by a German Agent in the last two games of Dijon and recommended him to two teams in Germany. He chose to join Aachen, who was still in the Bundesliga League. He only played for Aachen for a year, and Aachen was unfortunately relegated. He did not make any great contribution to the team wearing No. 9 jersey. This time he chose to leave Aachen and switch to another team. Hoffenheim.
The first season played thirty-one times and scored only five goals. The second best sponsor of the Season Bundesliga, the winner of the European Goldern Boot Award. The third season he was called "a season into the ball of a lifetime." Like a meandering meteor, it quickly rises into the sky and quickly disappears into space.
He has never heard of it, and he has become red and purple. He has succeeded and failed. I have seen great scenes and once persisted in ideals in a difficult situation that no one else can imagine. He believes that one day he will succeed. Eleven years have passed. He has not been the child who fled with his parents. He became a professional player, lived in a spacious big house, had his own car, and enjoyed the fans cheering for him. He changed. A lot.
But one thing has never changed – he is always drifting, from here to the other.
This time, Ranger Ibiza began a whole new journey.
He may continue to drift and put the name of the Ranger completely. Perhaps, he will stop here in the footsteps of the world and choose a place as his last stop.
Will it be the Forest of Robin Hood who once had a good time?
