On August 11, 2007, in the evening of Sebena Training Base.

In the club's press conference hall, Gao Han, who appeared at the Seberna press conference for the first time as Bayern Munich head coach, announced the team's match list for tomorrow's home match against Rostock in front of many media reporters.

Ribery, Robben, Modric, Ram, Schweinsteiger, Hummels, Lucio, Neuer and other players are all on the roster without exception. Klose, Aguero, Van Bomel, Marcelo and other players are also among them, which did not surprise media reporters.

What they want to know more is that Gao Han has any specific ideas about the other seven Bundesliga games that ended an hour ago, and what plans does he have for tomorrow's game against Rostock?

The opening match of the Bundesliga this season was held yesterday, with defending champion Stuttgart playing Schalke Zero Four at home.

The whole game was very fierce and the pace was very fast. In this fierce and fast-paced game, both teams made a lot of mistakes one after another. Schalke Zero Four was even more lucky in the first half, and a shot hit the Stuttgart defender, changing direction and getting a goal.

But at the beginning of the second half, Stuttgart began to show his power. The young player Khedira, who was highly praised by Gao Han, stepped forward at the critical moment and equalized the score for Stuttgart. Five minutes later, the home team scored another goal to overtake the score.

But in the 76th minute, Croatian young player Rakitic scored a goal for Schalke zero four to tie the score.

In the end, the two teams shook hands two to two and made peace.

Regarding such a result, Gao Han said that this was a wonderful opening match.

"Both teams have performed very well, they are both very good, proving that they have the ability to compete for the league championship, and also reminding us that we must give our all to every game to have a chance to win."

In addition to Stuttgart drew Schalke 0,000, Bochum drew 2-2 with Werder Bremen at home, and Leverkusen drew 0-0-0 at home. Both draws were a bit surprising, especially Leverkusen's game.

Pharmaceuticals have also invested a lot this season, but judging from the team's performance, investment does not seem to be able to transform into the team's competitiveness. Whether from the preseason or from the first round of the league, Leverkusen did not show satisfactory strength.

Hamburg defeated Hannover 1-0 and 96 away, but after a thrilling relegation last season, Wolfsburg, which has increased its investment this season, lost to Bielefeld 1-3 at home, which is a bit surprising.

Also surprising is Dortmund's 1-3 loss to Duisburg, and Frankfurt beat Hertha Berlin 1-0. Among the seven games that have been completed in the first round of the new season, it can be said that it has been unpopular.

Gao Han’s evaluation of this is that the overall strength of the Bundesliga is increasing.

"We all know that after experiencing the glory of the early century, the Bundesliga began to sink, and there has not been a satisfactory performance in the past few years. Especially after 2001, no team in the Bundesliga has entered the Champions League semi-finals. Even in the European League points ranking, the Bundesliga has been surpassed by Ligue 1 and has become the fifth European league."

What Gao Han said is basically a general consensus among Germany.

The reason why the Bundesliga is inseparable from the bankruptcy of Kilch Group, but this is not a reason or excuse for the decline of the league, especially when the Bundesliga is now falling to the fifth place in Europe.

"But I would like to say that in the past few years, the Bundesliga operators have completed a transformation well, and have made considerable improvements in finance. They have become more pragmatic. After the accumulation of the past few years, this season, I have seen statistics from the pictures before that the Bundesliga transfer investment exceeded 200 million euros, which has set a record high in the Bundesliga."

The media present were a little funny after hearing this, because among the investment of more than 200 million euros, a team of Bayern Munich reached 120 million euros, accounting for 60% of them, while the other 17 teams invested the remaining 40%.

Everyone can see that Bayern Munich is a standout.

Of course, this has to do with the fact that the Bundesliga giants only won fourth place in the league last season and the team needs to be reorganized.

The Bundesliga is recovering, which can be seen from the pre-season season ticket sales.

So far, the 18 Bundesliga teams have sold more than 370,000 season tickets this season, which is the best season ticket sales in all European leagues so far.

"Mr. Gao Han, I agree with what you said. The Bundesliga is indeed recovering, but I want to know what role do you think Bayern Munich will play in the entire Bundesliga recovery process? Because we know that Bayern Munich has invested 120 million euros this season, accounting for 60% of the total investment in the Bundesliga." A reporter stood up and asked.

"Thank you for your question." Gao Han nodded politely and smiled.

"I want to say that Bayern Munich is the most competitive team in the European arena. I believe no one will deny this. I think we should play the role of a pioneer in the entire Bundesliga recovery process. This is also one of my most important tasks when I come to Bayern Munich."

"The management of Bayern Munich trusts me very much. They told me that Bayern Munich and the entire German football are in urgent need of a vigorous change. I also hope that I can make some contributions to Bayern Munich and German football within my ability."

"As for you, Bayern Munich's investment accounts for 60% of the total investment in the Bundesliga, I don't think this is a problem. We have brought the best and best stars, which greatly stimulated Bayern Munich's market and also improved the competitiveness of Bundesliga teams in European arenas. I don't think this is a problem."

"I want to say that behind Bayern Munich's investment is that there is enough financial support."

Anyone familiar with the Bundesliga knows that Bayern Munich's income not only leads the Bundesliga, but is also not inferior to Manchester United and Real Madrid in Europe. This is why Bayern Munich dares to invest more than 100 million euros in one season.

As for other Bundesliga teams, it may take some time to accumulate.

"But, Mr. Gao Han, I have a problem."

"Yes, please ask."

"You said that Bayern Munich should be the pioneer of German football change. But according to what we have seen, Bayern Munich has been poaching the leading stars of other German teams over the past few years, from Barack who has left the team to Van Biden, and Podolski, and Klose and Neuer have been poached this season. Do you think this is reasonable?"

As soon as the reporter finished talking about his questions, the scene was in an uproar.

Bayern Munich's remarks about hollowing out the Bundesliga have always been around, and even this summer it has a tendency to become increasingly fierce.

Gao Han stopped the club's press officer and signaled the scene to calm down. He believed that he could handle this situation.

"I can answer this question, please sit down first."

After the reporter sat down, Gao Han said slowly: "First of all, I want to say whether this is a reasonable phenomenon. But except for the Bundesliga, the giant teams in the entire European top league are doing this. The top four Premier League, the three La Liga champions, and Serie A teams will also poach players from their domestic league competitors."

"But on the other hand, we should see this way, why are the Bundesliga teams willing to sell their star to competitors like Bayern Munich, why do they rather weaken themselves and strong opponents than sell their players?"

As soon as Gao Han finished speaking, the reporter who asked the question just now immediately sneered, "Of course it's Bayern Munich's shameless poaching."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Gao Han couldn't help but smile, but shook his head, "This is obviously unreasonable. You know, players such as Barack are very strong and do not lack the interest of foreign teams. Sometimes, foreign teams, especially some teams with stronger purchasing power, are willing to pay higher prices, but why do they want to sell them to Bayern Munich?"

The reporter who sneered just now was speechless and could not speak.

"The reason is very simple. They think it is more secure to sell it to Bayern Munich because it is a team in the same national league."

"First of all, we should be clear that these teams selling players need to sell players to obtain a considerable transfer fee and invest in the transfer market. We all know that most transfer fees are paid in installments. As far as I know, in the past, Bundesliga teams sold players to other leagues, they often faced a situation where after they got the first installment, the next few installments were repeatedly shelved."

"I heard that the most outrageous time was that the opponent sold all the players but had not paid the remaining amount yet. In the end, he had to file a complaint with UEFA. However, the whole process was very troublesome, and even if UEFA finally made an arbitration, it might not be able to be implemented. I believe this phenomenon should not be an exception, right?"

Many reporters present nodded.

The reason why they don’t report these things in the newspaper is because the fans are not interested at all. They only care about the player’s transfer fee. Who cares about how many periods you divide? Have you received the final payment?

But in European football, transfer fees disputes have always been the highlight of club conflicts.

Cross-league transactions often have many problems due to the different laws and rules between countries. Even if Europe has established an EU, it has not been changed.

Therefore, many Bundesliga players are more willing to sell their players to Bayern Munich for the sake of stability.

As for Bayern Munich is willing to poach players in its own league, this is normal. This is true for all giant teams in the league, because this can prevent the players from being unacceptable and reduce the risk of club investment.

Gao Han’s explanation is reasonable and convincing.

After all, Bayern Munich is just a professional team. You cannot make strict requirements on him just because he is stronger than other league competitors. That is not in line with market laws.

What's more, Bayern Munich is already taking on the task of a league pioneer.

This is true whether it is in the transformation of technical and tactical strategies or investment in youth training.

"Mr. Gao Han, I'm from the Kickers Magazine."

Gao Han nodded, "May I ask."

"According to the tradition of the Bundesliga, before the first round of each season, the head coaches of 18 Bundesliga teams will be asked to make predictions, including the league championship and the results of the team."

"Well, I've heard of this tradition." The press officer said this before the press conference just now.

"To be honest, we have interviewed the head coaches of seventeen other teams, all of whom believe Bayern Munich will win the league title because you have a net investment of more than 100 million euros in the transfer market, which is more than the combined investment of the other seventeen Bundesliga teams."

"Yes, you're right, so I feel very honored to have such a lineup. I believe that after investing so much, it's hard for me to say anything like the top three in the league."

All the reporters present were excited when they heard this.

Gao Han stood up from his seat, supported his hands on the podium, and looked firmly at the media reporter in front of him.

In an instant, the spotlight almost flashed.

"Yes, there is no doubt that we only have one goal, and that is the champion!"

The reporters were immediately excited.

"Not only the Bundesliga champions, we also hope to win the UEFA Cup and all the championships we can win."

The reporters became even more excited, as if they were injected with blood.

"In the next season, we will return to the Champions League. My team and I will make everyone, all the opponents completely change the Bundesliga from then on!"
Chapter completed!
