When he opened his eyes in the hot summer of 2004, the gears of fate began to turn in an incredible direction. Originally an ordinary fan, he was reborn as the boss of Bayern Munich. In front of him was a chaotic locker room, an aging lineup, a financial statement on the verge of deficit, and an eyeing opponent in the Bundesliga.
Faced with the doubts of the board of directors, the conservatism of the coaching staff, and the arrogance of the stars, he started a revolution in the football world by relying on his past life memories and modern business wisdom. He refused to renew the veteran's high-paying contract and implemented the "salary cap" reform; he paid 3 million euros to intercept Jusneijder and used image rights to break the transfer rules; he defied all odds and hired Guardiola and Klopp to reshape Bayern's tactical genes from Tiki-Taka to high-position pressing.
From the thrilling Bundesliga title fight with Schalke 04 to the last-round victory, to the Nirvana rebirth in the Champions League - the revenge battle after the 0-5 defeat at Arsenal, to the billion-dollar bet on Ibrahimovic and Messi to create a dream lineup.
