CR 94

Expansive joy: Christiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid offered 94 Million Euro for the Portuguese football player Christiano Ronaldo. What an amount for one single human being! Imagine, what can you get for this amount instead?! You may could lose the overview by all the crises, currently. Financial Crisis, Car Producer Crisis, Climate Crisis, Swine Flue Crisis, Middle East Crisis or SPD Crisis are not yet solved. You could say the whole world is a single Crisis. Except a Spanish building contractor named Florentino Perez, who faced all the crises with enthusiastic spending capital. Florentino Perez is the new chairman at honourable football club Real Madrid. He won the election because he was the sole candidate. Sharp tongues assuming he bought his own chair, but that is only a rumour and always appears at those situations. Mr Perez already has been chairman at Real Madrid FC during 2000 and 2006. He was the inventor of the Galacticos consisting of stars like Beckham, Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos etc. At this time he already spent awesome amounts for stars of the scene. You could say he gives a sh*t on crises! As he did on last Wednesday as he provided 75 Million Pounds from his wallet to Manchester United to activate the honestly not untalented football player Cristiano Ronaldo out of his existing contract at Old Trafford. Although he payed 65 Million Euro for the Brazilian football player Kaka, besides best player in the world a year earlier the CR. The good old neo-economist John Maynard Keynes would probably jump into the Thames for joy, because of these high investments at these bad times. The thing is, though. Could 4 legs be valuable 159 Million Euro?! Some Examples: The Bundesliga Team VFL Wolfsburg just became German Champion with a player budget of 55 Million Euro. Mathematicaly seen you might take 0.58 Christian Ronaldos to win the German Bundesliga by one single player! What else can you do with such an amount of money? I do pay study fees to be able to study at the HWR in Berlin. With 94 Million Euro I could study almost 39.0042 semesters at HWR. Or I could prepay my rent and could live almost 313.751 months for free. You could do honestly solve a lot of problems with such an amount. For Example, our government just need to raise 16.898 Cristiano Ronaldos and sell them to Florentino Perez to be completely debtless. So easy! But investing it in one single human being, who runs, tackles, shoot goals, passes, dives, is talented on the pitch as well as in the nightclub?! C’mon!!!

Celebrating the deal in Hollywood

some more impressions from London

A Farewell present for "The Right One"

Additionally to the pictures I have took and already posted 2 weeks ago I uploaded a video clip from our impressions at Stamford Bridge, home pitch of Chelsea FC. The video clip was made right after the match against Blackburn Rovers. Although Chelsea finished the season on the 3rd position, they are not delighted by this result due to the huge financial investments and ambitions they started with. Luiz Felipe Scolari, who needed to clear the chair at the club in February 2009 after only 6 months in charge. However, they qualified for Champions League next year, but must play extra round before. The interim solution has been the head coach of Russian National Squad, Guus Hiddink. To be honest, my impression was that the Chelsea supporters felt in love with the successful dutch manager. Although they knew he signed up for a loan until the end of the season. The good connections to Chelsea chairman Roman Abramowitsch, who signed the dutch globetrotter for Russian National Manager were not enough to convince Guus Hiddink neither did the appeal by the supporters of the club. Besides, 2 weeks after our incredible stay Chelsea has won the FA Cup, the oldest national football cup in the world. So Guus Hiddink did not leave West London empty-handed.

Football Maniacs … Chelsea FC – Blackburn Rovers

There is Roman Abramowitsch, somewhere.

Due to my parents anniversary and my dad’s 50th birthday me and my family had been to London for a couple of days. You must know my family is a weird family. In a positive way of course. We are all football maniacs. I have never seen a family who is deeper into football accept us. My dad is the chairman of our home town football club Häsener SV. My Mom is treasurer at the club. Both of them are running the business mostly alone you can say. Although they are doing it nonsalaried. Yes, it is voluntary! Unbelievable! They invest every day almost 2 hours for the business of the football club. Honestly! They are the soul of the club and every single club member appreciates the work what they are doing day in day out. Therefore my brother and me thought let’s give them a present which they won’t forget for a while. You have to say my brother plays as well as I do in the first team of the football club! He plays center back and I play center mid. Further I am the captain of the team. Isn’t it a great family?! We are together every weekend; on the pitch! Anyway, back to the amazing present we have thought of. You must know I have been 10 months in Bournemouth, South East England last year and met a couple of new and great friends. I am still in touch with most of them. But one of them I am still really close to. We are calling every once a while. He is English and arranged 4 tickets for the Barclays Premier League. I told him I don’t care which match we will see if it’s at least Premier League. Yeah, the probably best football league in the world. At least the league where the most money is spend and nearly every match is sold out. Although the best players of the world were playing there. He did managed it to get tickets for the last home match of Chelsea FC. The club of the Russian oligarch Roman Abramowitsch, who almost lost 70 % of his fortune due to the financial crisis. What a shame! Anyway, we are going to see a live match at the home country of football. We were looking forward like we never did it before.
