From the Country Team To the Rich

Antalya is a port city located on the south coast of Turkey and the capital of Antalya Province.

The city is extremely commercially active, but its mainstay remains tourism.

Due to Antalya's special geographical location and mild winter weather, this makes the city popular with a large number of European teams.

In winter, many European clubs will choose to come here for pre-match training. Some will fly directly to Antalya, and some teams will drive directly across the border in team buses.

The arrival of these teams has made the sports industry take root here. Some people feel that it is necessary to integrate these resources. For this reason, competition companies have been established one by one.

Every club that comes to Antalya only needs to pay a certain fee, and the event company will make arrangements for him.

From accommodation, food, sightseeing and travel to arranging training opponents, they can be said to have taken care of the entire industry.

And Zhang Xian also contacted a competition company through this channel to arrange a training competition for Hoffenheim.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Hoffenheim's plane entered Antalya Airport.

The mirror inspection went smoothly. Turkey has a visa-free policy for China, South Africa and Germany, so they did not spend too much time on the issue of entry and exit.

Hoffenheim players lined up for security checks one by one.

Looking at Hoffenheim in uniform, the immigration officials seemed to be accustomed to this, received them very friendly and let them go.

When Hoffenheim passed the security check and entered Antalya Airport, Zhang Xian saw that the airport was extremely lively.

In addition to the tourists coming and going, there are also many media reporters.

Of course, these media reporters will not pay attention to Hoffenheim at all.

Zhang Xian took the lead and walked a few steps, and a Turkish man in a suit walked over quickly.

"Excuse me, it's Hoffenheim, right?"

Looking at the slightly dark-skinned, slightly thin Turkish man in front of him, but wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses that didn't match his temperament, Zhang Xian nodded.

"Hello! I am the receptionist of Antalya Football Training Event Company,

You can call me Kahevich. In the next two weeks, I will be with Hoffenheim as a guide. If you have any questions, you can tell me and I will help you. I wish you all the best in Antalya Have a great holiday! "Kahvich introduced himself in fluent German.

"Hello." Zhang Xian stretched out his hand, instead of shaking it, he said, "After the long journey, my players are already tired. I think we can go to the hotel to rest first."

"As you wish!" Kakhevich smiled and turned slightly to let Zhang Xian go first.

Zhang Xian took the lead and walked out, while the other Hoffenheim players looked around curiously and followed suit.

Walking out of the airport, a bus marked 'Hoffenheim' in German was already waiting there.

The entire airport is extremely large and the roads are extremely wide.

There are many pick-up and drop-off vehicles, among which Zhang Xian also noticed that some player buses kept coming in and out, passing by in front of him.

The players put their luggage in the suitcases and started boarding the bus one by one.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Xian pointed to the passing players' buses and asked, "Are these professional football clubs?"

Kakhevich nodded with a smile; "Yes, these clubs are here to prepare for the pre-match training. It's just that it's not the peak season yet. Last winter, because there were too many clubs who came to train, the airport even appeared. road congestion."

Zhang Xian secretly felt that in just five minutes, he had already seen more than a dozen team buses, which were of this size in the off-season. He didn't know what it would be like in the peak season.

"Our event company is very professional. Last year, we also received several big clients. If you are willing to pay a high fee, we can even help you make an appointment with a wealthy club!"

Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "Wealthy clubs are going to accept private orders?"

"No, no, no! You misunderstood." Kahevich waved his hand with a smile: "Of course it is a wealthy club that came here to train. We can arrange for you to play a friendly match or something..."

"No need!" Zhang Xian waved his hand directly, and Kahevic's throbbing eyebrows seemed to tell him that this guy was thinking about how to cheat himself.

Kahevich seems a little disappointed about this, Hoffenheim is a rich master.

This can be seen from their generous one-time payment fee, they are not short of money.

Kahevich has been in this business for many years. Some teams are not good enough. Negotiating a business requires not only bargaining but also playing the trick of installment payment. If you are poor, you have to come to Antalya to join in the fun. The seeding team is very annoying to them.

On the other hand, Hoffenheim's straightforward and neat trading method is very satisfying.

Of course, the possibility of Hoffenheim's swollen face and fat man is not ruled out, but this probability is very small. After all, Antalya Football Training and Event Company also has its own intelligence collection network.

There is very little news about Hoffenheim in Germany, but it is not impossible.

For example, the Bundesliga team they killed in the German Cup was a sensation.

For another example, they took a loan of 20 million and were recognized by the German Football Association as eligible for repayment.

And this year, Hoffenheim completed two consecutive jumps and entered the senior regional league, etc. All the public information that can be collected has been analyzed by them.

So, Hoffenheim is rich!

It is even richer than most of the third-tier teams. Although Hoffenheim has only 5 million liquid funds on its books, no one can believe this stuff.

Which club will disclose all of its financial situation.

What's more, behind Hoffenheim there is a "Haas Meat Union" that sells sausages in Germany.

Although Hoffenheim is only a low-level league team, they are rich, and they are rich!

Kakhevich said with a bright smile, "We can go to the hotel now, where I have prepared a surprise for you."

Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This is really exciting."

After speaking, Zhang Xian boarded the bus with Kakhevich.

 …

Antalya is a city built on the port and the mountains.

On the way from the airport to the hotel, they saw dense forests, palm trees forming a boulevard, winding, and occasionally seeing the blue ocean not far away through the gaps in the trees.

Opening the car window, the moist sea breeze blows on the face, slightly wet the face, and there is a salty smell in the air, which is extremely refreshing.

Half an hour later, the bus finally arrived at a resort hotel.

It is not so much a hotel as it is a villa.

The entire area is quite extensive, with high-rise buildings inside, swimming pools, spiral slides and other water facilities, and in the east corner are green fields, separated by mesh fences, with a total of five courts.

Backed by the mountains, the natural oxygen bar, the air is fresh and sufficient, and it is refreshing to take a breath.

In front of me is the blue ocean, the soft sandy beach, and the waves beat the sandy beach from time to time, making a 'swish, swish, swish' sound.

The bus stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and the Hoffenheim players got off one by one.

Jian raised his head, looked at this huge building towering like a cloud, and said stupidly: "We want to live here?"

Wei Rauch said angrily; "Don't act like you haven't seen the world!"

Jian curled his lips and said, "I really haven't lived in it!"

The other Hoffenheim players also had the same expression. For players like them who want to play away games and live in fast hotels, this kind of star hotel is a luxury.

A group of people walked into the hotel lobby mightily.

Kahevich helped everyone with the check-in procedures, and at the same time, the waiters pushed a luggage cart over, carried the luggage up one by one, and helped them send them to their respective places. There was nothing to say about the service.

After completing the entry procedures, Zhang Xian asked the coaching staff to lead the players up to rest.

And Zhang Xian visited the hotel and some training facilities under the leadership of Kahevic.

"This is Restaurant No. 3. This place belongs to you for the next two weeks. You can eat here and do routine meetings and other work. If necessary, you can also ask the hotel for a meeting room. This is also a free item. .”

"If you have any dietary requirements, you can ask the nutritionist to contact the head chef to create a nutritious meal for you!"

After passing a corner, there is a huge indoor gym in front of you.

"This is No. 3 gym, which also belongs to your strength training area. There are also No. 3 indoor swimming pool, No. 3 spa, No. 3 steam room and other areas. As long as you know, No. 3 is mainly your area. OK."

Zhang Xian nodded, he was very satisfied with the arrangement of the event company, and took care of every aspect, which was not a waste of money.

In the end, the two made it to the training ground No. 3.

Just as Kahevich was about to speak, Zhang Xian pointed to the number three and said, "This belongs to us too!"

Kakhevich smiled and said, "That's right!"

After finishing speaking, he said mysteriously; "This is a good place I prepared for you."

Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "How?"

Kakhevich turned his mouth to the right.

Zhang Xian looked in the direction, and he saw an 'English banner' hanging on the other side of the mesh fence.

Zhang Xian was shocked.

The Premier League club, Trafford known as the 'Red Devil'!
