19. Chapter XIX
On the outskirts of Dortmund, David Villa and David Silva walked out of the house and closed the door.
Today was the first day they went to the team for official reporting, and both of them got up early in order not to give the manager a bad impression of being late on the first day.
Halfway through last season, David Silva confirmed a move to Borussia Dortmund next season, the first of all players to make a deal.
It is for this reason that he was meticulous and made a good start early - learning German in advance, finding a house in Dortmund near the metro line, and even doing his homework on the history of the Dortmund team and the tactical play of last season.
Although they didn't know each other before, David Villa consulted Silva about the possibility of playing in Germany because of Yan Jing's words, and he made up his mind to agree to a move to Dortmund.
Both Spaniards, both named David, will play together with the same team in a foreign country next season. That phone call quickly led them to become friends and meet up to watch the World Cup quarter-final between Spain and France.
Although Spain lost 3-1 to France in this game, it did not affect the feeling of first sight between the two. Villa has a warm temperament, just like a typical Spaniard, and the first time they met, he made the usually shy Silva lean back and lean.
Villa was late to Dortmund, and he has not yet had time to find a good house in Dortmund. Coupled with the fact that his German language skills were mostly in those short everyday sentences, David Silva kindly offered to live with him until he found a house, and the two of them could take care of each other together.
Villa couldn't help but worry about Silva's suggestion, and it was good to find a companion who was ready to go.
Villa followed behind Silva, who was unfamiliar with the neighborhood: "Cuco, you know which subway to take, right?" ”
"Of course, Guaje, don't worry." Silva led Villa to the metro station with ease, apparently having studied the terrain around him.
Cuco and Guaje are the nicknames of the two, and it is common to have the same name in foreign countries, and everyone often uses their nicknames to prevent the situation of David and the two of them.
At the same time, Yan Jingzheng was setting off from home with Gotze. I had been thinking about buying a car before, but as soon as I got busy, Yan Jing forgot about it, which also led him to only take public transportation to travel.
Last night he slept with August, and Götze was very excited about the next day's training, but he didn't suffer from insomnia, he still slept soundly, and even August's little feet kicked him without responding.
He wasn't kicked out of bed, and August's immobility was a significant reason.
Götze woke up this morning, refreshed, changed his clothes and washed up, and even ate an extra croissant for breakfast than usual.
Yesterday, Yan Jingxiang's parents explained the situation, and the other party also happily responded.
"Boss, what are we going to do today?" On the subway, Gotze was looking forward to the upcoming training, "Tactical drills? Or is it a direct intra-team match? ”
Yan Jing glanced at Ge Ce idly: "Physical examination and recovery training." ”
“…… Oh. ”
Yan Jing seemed to see the dog ears on Gotze's head droop instantly, and in order not to let the smile appear too obvious, he turned his head to look out the window.
After getting off the subway, Yan Jing greeted Götze and Jan Saul, the security guard at the door, and their old acquaintance, Numan Stitch, was sharing the same breakfast with Saul.
Since the summer training time has already been announced, there are also many local Dortmund reporters around the stadium.
When they saw Yan Jing arrive, they all raised their cameras in their hands, and then the Ge Ce beside Yan Jing attracted everyone's attention again.
Huh? Who is this child?
Götze is already well-known in the youth team, but most of these reporters have been focusing on first-team news, so they are a little confused about Götze's appearance.
Of course, there is one exception to this reporter: Yul Lambert, who also used to be in charge of youth team journalism. He still remembers very well that the first time he went out to work, the former U13 team, it was this kid named Mario Gotze who turned the tide under the command of Yan Jing and chased the score from 0-3 to 3-3.
He spent some time with the youth team after that, and Gotze's meteoric progress is still fresh in his memory, and even after he was promoted to report on the first team, he still keeps an eye on the team's hopefuls.
It seems that he is not the only one who is optimistic about Gotze...... Lambert captures Yan Jing and Gotze smiling and talking. However, Gotze is only fourteen years old, and Yan can't let him enter the first team so quickly, so I guess I took him to feel the atmosphere.
Yan Jing walked to the door of the locker room, where there was already a lively discussion, and he peeked through the crack in the door, only to see Coentrão happily carrying a bag that looked very heavy and didn't know what he was doing.
So he chose to push the door and enter: "Fabio, good morning." ”
Coentrão didn't expect Yan Jing to suddenly come in at this time, and his head coach's voice startled him a lot, and he shook out the bag he was carrying with a loose hand.
Then, the moment the bag clattered to the ground, they heard the sound of glass crackling and shattering, and the burgundy liquid spread out from the center of the bag, and the aroma of red wine suddenly filled the room.
Götze, who had barely been exposed to alcohol other than beer, couldn't help but sniff the smell hard, and a little dizziness rushed to his nerves.
Frightened by his own terrible weakness of alcohol, Gotze quickly shook his head and retreated to the slightly open door, away from the center of the accident.
"I, my wine ......"
Ahhhh It's very expensive to pay a lot of tariffs!
Coentrão felt that his heart was shattered along with the bottle, and he turned his head to look at Yan Jing, the expression on his face that wanted to cry without tears was so wonderful and wonderful.
Yan Jing walked over, and there were a lot of glass shards splashed out of the bag, and he reached out to lift it up to prevent more drinks from leaking.
"Fabio ......" Yan Jing looked into the bag, and it looked like a complete "corpse" was gone, "Why are you bringing so much wine?" ”
Coentrão cried and looked at the wine on the ground and refused to take it off: "This is a Portuguese specialty, I originally wanted to give everyone a bottle!" ”
Can't you send it after training, you have to share the spoils early in the morning.
Yan Jing supported his forehead: "Quickly let the cleaning staff clean up." ”
Villa and David Silva arrived in the dressing room at this time, and before they could enter the door, they smelled a rich aroma of wine.
What the hell, did you have a wine tasting in the locker room on the first day of training?
They walked in with suspicion, only to see someone with a mop cleaning the wine-soaked floor, while Coentrão in the corner was buried with his head buried and a dark and purple cloud above him.
When Villa pushed the goal, Götze was accidentally hit on the head in front of the goal, and he exclaimed in pain, and immediately all the players who were paying attention to the "red wine incident" turned their attention to him.
Suarez was the first to ask, and he put down the bottle of red wine in his hand, the only one that Coentrão gave him before he dropped the bag.
"Huh! Chief, is this your brother? ”
"Huh? Mario, you say? Yan Jing glanced at Gotze, who was still holding his head, and introduced to everyone with a smile, "Mario Gotze, a member of our youth team U18, because there are many other players who are still on vacation today, let him make up for it in the past few days." ”
As soon as he heard Yan Jing's words, Gotze hurriedly put down his hand and greeted the members of the first team: "Good morning!" I'm Mario Gotze, just call me Mario. ”
Kyle looked at Götze curiously, "U18? But Mario doesn't look like he's eighteen years old......"
Facing his seniors, Gotze took the initiative to reply: "I just turned fourteen last month. ”
Hearing about Götze's age, there was an exclamation in the locker room - what a young man!
July 10 happens to be the birthday of Lars Ricken, who turns 30 today, more than twice the age of Gotze.
Kyle on the side smiled and poked Ricken, "Lars, do you think you're old?" ”
Ricken snapped back, "Do you think you're young?" ”
Kyle shook his head regretfully, "They can't compare to Mario, but at least I'm four years younger than you." ”
“…… Bastian, I really think you're underwhelming. ”
Thiago Silva had a great holiday, having spent a good time in his hometown and even sunbathed on the beach in Rio de Janeiro with his predecessor Dede.
A charming bikini beauty catches eye on him, and he gets an extra affair for it. Dede doesn't have such an opportunity, he already has a wife, and even basking in the sun is with his family.
Of course, in addition to vacations, they did not forget to train at home.
As for players like Weidenfeller and Shahin, who live in Dortmund, some choose to travel, while others stay at home to watch the World Cup.
After some hard work by the cleaning aunt, the red wine liquid on the floor finally disappeared, but the smell of wine was not yet finished.
When the accident was over, the players changed into the training outfits that Stitch had prepared for them.
At this time, Gotze pulled Yan Jing's clothes: "Boss, I don't have a jersey." ”
Yan Jing was stunned for a moment, but he forgot about this matter: "It's okay, I'll let Numan bring it to you later." ”
Before the start of training, there was one more very important thing to do, Yan Jing stood in the locker room and waved his hand.
"Go to the medical room!"
Everyone rose up in response, laughing and walking out of the locker room door, and Yan Jing was about to leave with him, but he caught a glimpse of another player sitting on the bench and not moving.
Yan Jing stopped, turned back and saw that it was Di Maria, who had joined the team with Guò Mendes, sitting on the bench.
"Angel?"
Yan Jing saw Di Maria raise her head suddenly.
"Sir!"
"Just call me the head." Yan Jing pointed out the door, "Aren't you still leaving?" ”
Di Maria looked at Yan Jing and was stunned for a few seconds, then stood up and nodded hurriedly at him: "Okay, sir." ”
Looking at the back of Di Maria leaving, Yan Jing frowned slightly.
Angel didn't understand what I was saying.
