Red Rebels

566 Shameful Victory

The climate in Germany is very cold in winter, but what is even colder is the human heart.

Although he was wrapped in a down jacket, his whole body still felt bitingly cold, especially after he had just received a call from his agent, Adler felt hairy all over.

He was sold by Bayer Leverkusen!

Although the transfer has not been confirmed in the end, it is actually all he needs to do is give the nod.

His new club is very impressive, the Red Rebels, a top club that has taken the world by storm in European football. It is known as the strongest team in European football in recent years, even surpassing the team at the turn of the century. Galacticos Real Madrid.

Every Red Rebel player is a top star. Even the stars who left the Red Rebels are now famous. Let’s not talk about the distant ones. Take Lahm, who switched to the Bundesliga this season. He came to the Bundesliga at a high price. Bayern's Lahm is now the best left back in the Bundesliga and has become the most indispensable member of Bayern's left wing.

I don’t know since when, the Red Rebels have become a team that countless players are eager to join!

Someone once said that the players of the Red Rebels are the best, but gradually, in the minds of many people, only those who join the Red Rebels and achieve glory in the Red Rebels are worthy of the title. The most outstanding player.

However, this team has always had very strict requirements for players. It can even be said to be harsh. Not just any player can join, nor can they join only if they are strong enough. Only by getting the team that is known as the most professional team in the world. Only players approved by the scouting team and the best coaching staff are eligible to join the Red Rebels.

Can I?

Doubts about himself just emerged in Adler's mind, but they were quickly suppressed by him.

I can do it!

However, although he is confident in his own strength, Adler is still a little uneasy about leaving Leverkusen. It is not that he is reluctant to leave here, but that he is both looking forward to and worried about his journey to the Red Rebels. .

In Leverkusen, he had no chance to prove himself, especially after he was injured and was completely relegated to the sidelines. However, his move to the Red Rebels was an opportunity. It is said that this team is currently troubled by the goalkeeper.

Chris Taylor, an 18-year-old goalkeeper who was originally unknown, has now become a well-known European star. The reason is very simple. He is currently the only goalkeeper that the Red Rebels can trust, but his performance is very unstable, making Mourinho was unhappy with him.

This is Adler's opportunity. He clearly realizes that if he seizes it, he can become famous in one fell swoop, but if he fails, he will be completely knocked back to his original form.

In this world, nothing is ever foolproof. Life is full of choices and adventures. It depends on how you choose!

Not knowing how to walk back to his apartment, Adler took out his key, opened the door and went in. He immediately heard his brother's hearty laughter coming from inside.

"Look, my brother is a big fan of Schmeichel. He put Mr. Schmeichel's poster on his bedside. He always said that one day he hopes to become a celebrity like Mr. Schmeichel. Top goalkeeper!"

Hearing these words, Adler immediately started sweating. He didn't expect that his brother would talk about this to outsiders. He immediately rushed in and was about to scold his brother, who had always been close to him, when he saw clearly. After knowing who the guest was, he couldn't curse.

"Xiao...Xiao Yu?! Schmeichel?!" Although Schmeichel is taller and more conspicuous than Xiao Yu,

But for some reason, Adler still saw Xiao Yu first and was very surprised, even shocked.

"Hello, Mr. Rene Adler!" Xiao Yu greeted politely.

His younger brother Rick Adler warmly greeted Xiao Yu and the three of them back to the living room.

"Seriously, Mr. Xiao Yu, I am studying at Cologne Business School. The teachers in our school often use your Red Rebels as teaching materials on sports business management. They think that you have created a brand new competitive business model. How did you do it? Arrived?"

While Rene Adler was a little restless, his younger brother seemed very talkative.

"Actually, it doesn't matter to put it bluntly. What our Ministry of Commerce spends the most time studying is not studying ourselves, but studying our service objects, that is, our fans. This is the first point. We have been studying it from the beginning. It can be judged that our service targets are fans, of course, from a business perspective, sponsors can also be regarded as our service targets!"

Rick Adler kept nodding. Looking at his expression, he just wanted to pick up a pen and paper and concentrate on taking notes.

You know, Xiao Yu is now a world-renowned investor and successful person. Being able to communicate face-to-face with him is what countless young people like Rick Adler dream of.

"Once we understand who we serve, we will then analyze how to maintain and protect the interests of our service recipients. Finally, we will further study on the basis of the first two items to see what we can do to our service recipients. What help and convenience services are provided!”

Rick Adler frowned, obviously not understanding Xiao Yu's words very well. In normal times, all companies would definitely study the services they provide first. As for the interests of customers, they are beyond reach. However, the Red Rebels did the opposite, which is puzzling.

But it seemed that this was also a smart German boy, and he quickly figured out the deeper meaning of Xiao Yu's words.

Only services provided under the premise of protecting the interests of customers can achieve a win-win situation to the greatest extent, or even a win-win situation. This is why the Red Rebels can maintain a relationship with fans and such huge sponsors. The reason for a good working relationship.

This sounds simple, but how many companies can actually do it?

It's like football clubs all over the world understand the importance of fans, but how many clubs really value their fans?

Sometimes, the world is like this, easier said than done!

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Yu!" Rick Adler nodded sincerely. At this moment, he was extremely solemn.

Xiao Yu patted Rick Adler's shoulder encouragingly. He had a very good impression of the German boy. Many people said that Germans were old-fashioned, but in fact Xiao Yu felt that they were not. Their old-fashionedness was only based on the surface. , but their hearts are full of creativity and innovation, and they can even become stubborn and rigid for this reason.

Walking out of Rene Adler's house, Xiao Yu and his party took their harvest and prepared to return to Manchester.

Rene Adler's idol is Schmeichel, who came forward to persuade Rene Adler. Coupled with Xiao Yu's personal intervention and the current influence and reputation of the Red Rebels, Rene Adler Le could hardly find any reason to refuse.

Yes, Xiao Yu told him very clearly that once Cech returns, he will face the pressure of competing with the world's number one goalkeeper, but Rene Adler does not have much objection to this. He knows his own weight very well. .

For a player who has never played in the first team and has no reputation at all, how qualified is he to think that he can compete with Cech?

This is not belittlement, but rational analysis!

After finalizing Rene Adler, Xiao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems like you have a lot of confidence in him!" Schmeichel smiled.

He didn't know what was going on, but he saw a familiar expression on Xiao Yu's face. That expression was just like when Xiao Yu promised him that Cech would become a great talent. He was very, very confident, almost incredible.

"Of course, Peter, I never do anything I'm not sure about!" Xiao Yu replied with a smile, but at the same time he also told Boyas to continue to keep in touch with Real Madrid's backup goalkeeper, Diego Lopez's agent. , once Adler performs poorly, immediately buy the Real Madrid goalkeeper.

Of course, this is not because Xiao Yu has no confidence in Adler, but because of the sudden change of environment, no one knows how Adler will perform. It is Xiao Yu's habit to be foolproof.

However, I heard that Adler came to Leverkusen alone when he was 15 years old, leaving his parents and family to take care of himself. At least his adaptability should be good.

Taking a flight directly from Cologne's Bonn Airport to Asia, the Red Rebels went to Japan to participate in this season's Club World Cup after playing against Everton in the 17th round of the league.

As the defending champions, the Red Rebels are undoubtedly the biggest team in this year's Club World Cup and the favorites to win the championship. All media agree that the champions this time are no more than two teams, either the Red Rebels or the Red Rebels. Or the Copa Libertadores champions, Brazil’s international team.

Sure enough, as if to reflect the outside world's confidence in the Red Rebels, in the first semi-final of the World Club, against the Mexican team America, Mourinho still relied on half of the substitute lineup to play. Overall strength, a 5:0 victory over the opponent, Ismail scored a hat trick.

This game also made the Red Rebels' call to win the World Club Championship grow louder and louder. Especially after the Brazilian Internacional team defeated their opponents and reached the final, it was considered by the media as a signal for the Red Rebels to finalize the world championship in advance. Because European teams always have a great advantage when playing against South American teams, especially for teams like the Red Rebels that value the whole.

But the Brazilian International Team is obviously not prepared to use the traditional South American style to compete with the Red Rebels. In other words, they know very well that it is difficult to take advantage of the Red Rebels using the traditional South American style, and the International Team is not Latin. A team with a different style, they play tougher and dirtier at the same time.

As early as before the game, many European columnists warned. They believed that for South American teams, entering the Club World Cup was equivalent to playing in the World Cup finals, but for European teams, the Club World Cup was the same as playing in the World Cup finals. Dispensable, even less important than a league game.

Relatively speaking, this is indeed the case, especially when the Premier League is tight, the World Club is indeed not as important as the league.

It is precisely because of this that Mourinho still did not arrange all the main starting players in the game. Kaká and others who played in the first game of the semi-finals were left on the bench, replaced by Ronaldinho and Messi. And Cesc Fabregas and others started.

The Brazilian Internacional team used defensive counterattack tactics in the game. From the first minute of the game, they deployed heavy troops in the midfield and backcourt. They knew the tactics of the Red Rebels very well and were unwilling to confront the Red Rebels head-on. However, they frequently They used small moves unique to South American players to "harass" the Red Rebels players, and their defensive moves were particularly large.

This is premeditated. After all, the Red Rebels are currently short of major generals. In addition, the league and cup competitions are tight. Mourinho is unwilling to reduce the number of players due to the World Club during this period, so he warned the players to be careful during the game. , to avoid injuries, but the Brazilian international team has no worries in this regard at all.

The Red Rebels played very passively in the game, especially in the second half. The Brazilian International team saw that the Red Rebels could not attack for a long time. Although they took the initiative on the field, they did not dare to attack too aggressively. This made them start to consciously fight back.

In the 77th minute, Inter Brazil midfielder and former Real Madrid player Jarret sent a precise through ball. The Brazilian forward with the same name as Inter Milan forward Adriano quickly stepped forward and received the ball. Chris Taylor, who then took advantage of the situation and hesitated to attack, missed the opportunity, directly pushed and shot into the empty net, 0:1!

After that, the Brazilian international team played a more tenacious defense, which can even be said to be a defensive tactic. They did not hesitate to use fouls to prevent the Red Rebels from attacking, and used fierce fighting to intimidate the Red Rebels.

Mourinho looked helpless on the sidelines, but he knew very well the current situation of the team and he couldn't afford to fight!

Many players on the team are currently injured, and the schedule is relatively tight, especially the Premier League. Mourinho is unwilling to give up the league easily, so he cannot suffer losses because of this dispensable World Club Championship.

There are gains and there are losses, and that’s how it is sometimes!

In the end, the final ended with 0:1. The Red Rebels failed in the World Club Finals, and the Brazilian International Team won the championship, but in exchange, the Red Rebels retreated.

Braga, the head coach of the Brazilian International Team, seemed very proud when he was interviewed by the media after the game. He said that he had found a way to deal with the Red Rebels, although this method made the Brazilian International Team look nothing like a South American team.

"Close the space in your own half and use all means to prevent the Red Rebels from sending the ball into the penalty area, including fouls!"

Although many media, even the domestic media in Brazil, felt that the tactics of the Brazilian Internacional team in this game were too conservative and they all set up an iron barrel formation. In addition, the Red Rebels did not send all their main players to the field, so the victory Without force.

But Braga doesn't see it that way.

"The process is not important. What is important is that we won the championship and we are the king of the world!"

It can be seen that after finally winning the World Club Championship, Braga is very complacent and even a little elated. However, the media generally believes that the biggest reason why the Brazilian International Team won was the Red Rebels. They don't pay attention to the game at all, and the other thing is the referee's connivance with them.

"If the referee follows normal law enforcement standards, Internacional will be sent off at least two players and awarded at least three obvious penalties. This is a victory that Braga is proud of, but in fact, this is not What a disgrace!”

But for all this, the Red Rebels feel that it is not important. What is really important is that the team returns to Manchester unscathed. This is more important than anything else!

On the second day after the team arrived in Manchester, the Red Rebels officially announced that Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Rene Adler successfully passed the team's medical examination and will switch to the Red Rebels after the transfer market opens during the winter break. Rebels.
