You can't center crop a background image of linear layout,
But you can achieve the same using these changes:
Replace you LinearLayout with RelativeLayout
Place a ImageView as a first child inside relative layout and use property for center crop.
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/background_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="210dp"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/club1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
.....
......
</RelativeLayout>

If you Want to control The Image View Scale
you need to put it in ImageView As Src Not Background
You can use Frame layout To Achieve it

CenterCrop logic is baked inside ImageView. The correct solution is to extract it into a Drawable which wraps another Drawable and centerCrops it.

If you use CoordinatorLayout, then just to put your ImageView with centerCrop parameter to top.
<CoordinatorLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:background="#drawable/background_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<AppBarLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
app:elevation="0dp">
<include layout="#layout/header_main" />
<TabLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:tabIndicatorColor="#android:color/white"
android:background="#drawable/white_border_background"
app:tabIndicatorHeight="3dp"/>
</AppBarLayout>
<ViewPager
android:id="#+id/view_pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" />
</CoordinatorLayout>

Let me know what is wrong in this.
Thanks :)

android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
works only in RelativeLayout, but it's inside a LinearLayout.
You could change the root layout to RelativeLayout and wrap everything but your AdView inside another LinearLayout (or better handle the behaviour of the other views as expected inside a RelativeLayout to avoid deep layouts).

You can do it simply doing by enclosing your error button inside the Relative Layout as following steps:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center">
<Button
android:id="#+id/retry"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#null"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/ic_android"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="6dp"
android:text="TRY AGAIN"
android:textColor="#000"
android:textSize="35sp"
android:visibility="visible" />
</RelativeLayout>

<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
also you need a RelativeLayout for parent of this tag

Make the parent layout as RelativeLayout and put everything inside RelativeLayout except the button.
use
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!--Put your other codes here-->
<!--everything can be within LinerarLayout-->
<Button
android:id="#+id/retry"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#null"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:drawableTop="#mipmap/retry"
android:onClick="onClickRetry"
android:padding="6dp"
android:text="TRY AGAIN"
android:textColor="#000"
android:textSize="35sp"
android:visibility="gone" />
</RelativeLayout>
as your button code

How to add an text above the 'button style' linear layout?
I want for example "Hello dear user! Check it below".
Where put textview, where add more layout or whatever?

It is very simple!
You have to add TextView, with id (text, for example) and, in your LinearLayout you need to add line android:layout_below="#+id/text". Optional, you can specify attribute android:layout_alignParentTop="true" in TextView.
Just use code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#373c5c"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:text="Text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
/>
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/list_offer_item_container"
android:layout_below="#+id/text"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_marginRight="50dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/shape"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="10dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgcreditcompany"
android:layout_width="36dp"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:layout_height="36dp" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="start"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtname"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
android:textColor="#48899f"
android:textSize="#dimen/textsizeearncredit_title"
android:text="Name"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textStyle="normal|bold" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtdesc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="1dp"
android:maxLines="1"
android:textColor="#80869c"
android:textSize="#dimen/textsizeearncredit_desc"
android:text="This is a description of the offer and this is just a demo to show off 3 lines stacking correctly on top of each other"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:gravity="end"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical">
<TextView android:id="#+id/list_offer_badge_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/list_offer_item_container"
android:textColor="#color/md_amber_700"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:visibility="gone"
android:text=""/>
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/nextArrow"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:tint="#color/md_grey_300"
android:rotation="180"
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:visibility="gone"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:padding="#dimen/two" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Above
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/list_offer_item_container"
put your TextView or whatever you want. So something like
<TextView android:id="#+id/myTV"
// other attributes />
Then in
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/list_offer_item_container"
add android:layout_below="#id/myTV"
By default, RelativeLayout puts it's elements at the top-left until you specify otherwise. So adding this will put your LinearLayout below the TextView.
I think the confusion is on how RelativeLayout and LinearLayout work. You have orientation in your RelativeLayout which does nothing. RelativeLayout puts it's elements in the order you tell it by the attributes such as layout_below and layout_above. LinearLayout, however, adds them in the order in which they show in the xml file which is why orientation matters in LinearLayout but not RelativeLayout.
You'll want to look at RelativeLayout.LayoutParams and other parts of the documentation to better understand how the layouts work and which is best in your specific cases.

Why downvoting im trying to learn something

You need nested linearlayouts, try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/LOC_IMAGE"
android:layout_width="38dp"
android:layout_height="38dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:width="38dp"
android:gravity="left"
android:src="#drawable/ondergrondse2" />
<TextView
android:text="0"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:width="60dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/LOC_CODE" />
<TextView
android:text="0"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:width="60dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/LOC_FRACTIE" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/LOC_NAME"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:text="Niet aanwezig"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="35dp"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:width="330dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Do like this,just nest the widget
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">``
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ImageView01"
android:layout_width="38dp"
android:layout_height="38dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:gravity="left"
android:src="#drawable/ondergrondse2"
android:width="38dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TextView02"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="0"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:width="60dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TextView01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="0"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:width="60dp" />
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/LOC_NAME"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:text="Niet aanwezig"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:width="330dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

LinearLayouts Order ther ChildViews in a linear way if you want them to be ordererd Verticaly you should change the android:orientation="horizontal"
to android:orientation="vertical", this wil align your views verticaly from top to bottom so to achieve what you want tou shoud do this
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/LOC_IMAGE"
android:layout_width="38dp"
android:layout_height="38dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:width="38dp"
android:gravity="left"
android:src="#drawable/ondergrondse2" />
<TextView
android:text="0"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="15dp"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:width="60dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/LOC_FRACTIE" />
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/LOC_NAME"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:text="Niet aanwezig"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
