The next day, the fat man came to the training base as usual. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoToday, coach Tuchel announced the specific itinerary, the team will fly to Shanghai, China on July 20, the first International Champions Cup match against Manchester United at Shanghai Stadium at 8 pm on the 22nd, and the second International Champions Cup match at Shenzhen Longgang Universiade Center Stadium at 7:30 pm on the 28th.

The International Champions Cup is an important commercial tournament that is currently held in North America, China and Australia. Like the Emirates Cup, the Telecom Cup, etc., it is one of the mainstream warm-up competitions.

In recent years, in order to integrate football resources in international football, a company called Guinness (non-Guinness Book of Records) has held a cup in the summer, called the Guinness Cup, inviting some European giants to play games to replace the chaotic warm-up matches; After the initial scale, the Guinness Cup was renamed the International Champions Cup, and gradually expanded, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Bayern Munich and other giants have participated in this event, and from the old cup format, changed to a regional competition, for example, this summer, the International Champions Cup is divided into three regions: Europe and the United States, Australia and China.

Although they have played two International Champions Cup games recently, the team is still training step by step and has not changed in the slightest. After all, although the name of the International Champions Cup is resounding, in the final analysis, it is still a pre-season warm-up game, and it is not as formal as a regular race.

However, before the official start of training in the morning, the fat man met his new teammate, Baltra, who transferred from Barcelona. Bartra came through the Barcelona academy and previously played for Barcelona B in La Liga, but was often called up to the first team by Barcelona due to his outstanding performances. This year, after Hummels announced his departure, Dortmund activated Baltra's release clause and finally signed Baltra for 8 million euros, ready to replace Hummels, who was ready to leave.

Baltra plays very elegantly, and his skills are very good, after all, he can be substituted in Barcelona, and his skills are definitely not much worse, but the height difference is a little bit, and he plays a central defender with a height of 1.83 meters, and the air defense problem will be the biggest test that Bartra faces.

During the lunch break, the staff of the club found the fat man and said that a reporter came to the training base and wanted to interview the fat man. The fat man thought it was Rita, but when he came to the reception room, he found that it was Anna. Anna actually found a training base for the fat man in order to interview him. The fat man's head was as big as a cow all of a sudden, and from the moment Rita counterattacked Anna, the fat man thought that Anna would definitely come to the door, but he didn't expect Anna to move so fast.

"Mr. Pang, you have been doing very well lately, I would like to interview you, is that okay?" Anna asked, in a calm and polite tone.

"I'm sorry, Miss Delanene, but I'm not in a position to be interviewed by you right now." The fat man refused.

'Mr Pang, I've spoken to Coach Tuchel and he's agreed to give you an interview with Kicker Magazine.' Anna thought that the fat man was worried about the club rules, and hurriedly explained.

"I'm sorry, it's my personal reason." The fat man was embarrassed to explain, "The recent German media have not been very friendly to me, and yesterday the Süddeutsche Zeitung publicly questioned me on the Internet about taking illegal drugs, so I don't want to be interviewed by any media recently." ”

"Mr. Pang, I'm sorry for what happened to you, but we at Kicker Magazine have never done that, we are the most authoritative football media in Germany, and we will never publish opinions without factual basis, so please believe in the sincerity of the kicker." Anna continued to persuade.

The fat man knew that what Anna said was true, because since the last time the fat man was interviewed by Anna, the fat man had learned about the kicker magazine.

Kicker is a long-established German football magazine headquartered in Nuremberg and the oldest football magazine in the world, with a circulation of about 400,000 copies. Throughout its more than 80-year history, it has always insisted on providing realistic, professional and critical coverage of the sport of football. Players, coaches, club managers, league organisers and fans alike have adopted The Kiccer as the "Football Bible". The professional authority of The Kicker is unmatched, and its articles are often diverted from the media such as newspapers, radio and television.

It can be said that the kicker is a more professional and authoritative football media than Bild, but the fat man has promised Rita, so naturally he can't break his word, at least for this month, he can't be interviewed by the kicker.

"I'm sorry, Miss Delane, but I still can't be interviewed by you." The fat man again refused.

"Mr. Pang, any player in the world is proud to be interviewed by a kicker, why would you say no?" Anna was puzzled, "You have been questioned by some football media recently, and we kickers can help you clarify!" ”

"I'm sorry, Miss Delane, but I really don't want to be interviewed by the media lately. Let's make an appointment later! The fat man cruelly refused for the third time.

"Mr. Pang, is it because of Rita?" Anna was a little upset, "I know she's been very close to you lately. ”

The fat man didn't expect Anna to guess the reason so quickly, and his face was a little unnatural. But think about it, the people who know you best are often your enemies, and with the hostile relationship between Anna and Rita, whatever Rita does, she will definitely not escape Anna's eyes. The fat man knew he had to leave, because if he stayed any longer, something would probably happen.

"I'm sorry, Miss Delane, I need to train, and I'll see you later." After the fat man finished speaking, he fled out of the reception room without looking back, and even though Anna kept shouting, the fat man did not stop.

"Damn Rita, she must have been the devil!" With anger on her face, Anna turned and left the reception room.

After the fat man escaped from the reception room in embarrassment, he exhaled vigorously a breath of turbidity in his heart. The situation just now was too embarrassing, but fortunately, the fat man slipped away quickly, or maybe something would have happened.

The fat man felt that although Anna and Rita were a pair of happy enemies, their personalities were really very different. Rita is cheerful and enthusiastic, and Anna is elegant and cold, but the two are very serious and persistent in their work.

I hope Anna doesn't blame me, if she blames her nemesis Rita!' The fat man prayed silently.

But Anna obviously won't give up so easily, after the fat man rejected Anna at the training base, Anna began to block the fat man near the fat man's house, which made the fat man tired of it. As a last resort, the fat man began to call Rita to complain.

"Rita, Anna wanted to interview me, but I refused, but she never gave up. She came to the Bracker training base to find me before, and recently she has been blocking me near my house, what do you think I should do? The fat man asks Rita for help.

"Pang, you just need to continue to reject her, she won't do anything to you?" Rita replied calmly.

"Anna has been looking bad lately, she won't do anything out of the ordinary to me, will she?" The fat man was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Pang! Anna will not disregard her image even if she is dissatisfied with you, her aristocratic mind does not allow her to do so. Rita said confidently, "Anna also disregards her image when she quarrels with me, and she still pays attention to her image to the outside world." ”

"Rita, did Anna look for you? Did you quarrel? The fat man suddenly started to gossip.

"Yes, Pong! Anna and I have had a few big fights in the past two days, Anna is completely like a crazy woman, and she no longer has the cold style of the past, I am so happy! Rita was very excited, "What happened to the noble descendants?" The descendants of the nobility are also human beings, and they will also get angry and angry, and they will also disregard the image ......"

"Rita, it doesn't matter if you stimulate Anna!" The fat man was a little worried again.

"It doesn't matter, I've done that before." Rita was full of confidence, "I just want to get rid of this self-righteous stinky problem in her, and I get ......angry when I look at her arrogant demeanor."

"Rita, Anna won't keep pestering me, will she, when will this be a head?" The fat man asked depressedly.

"Don't worry, Pang, Anna has been pestering you for the past two days. She gave up on the 21st, because the kicker magazine is published every Monday and Thursday, and the 21st is a Thursday, and even if she can't interview you, she will publish it on time. Rita explained.

"Rita, Anna can't interview me, she won't make up nonsense, then I'm going to be the target of her criticism again!" The fat man was worried.

"Pang, you can put a hundred hearts. Anna wouldn't do that, and even if she wanted to, the Kicker's editor-in-chief wouldn't agree. Rita said confidently, "As is customary for kickers, Anna won't be able to write anything about you without first-hand interviews, so Anna won't have a chance to publish this time, and she won't have a chance to fight back against me." ”

After hearing Rita's explanation, the fat man understood why Rita wanted to make a deal with him and not accept Anna's interview himself. This is equivalent to cutting off Anna's back road, and even if Rita attacks Anna, Anna can't find bullets to fight back.

Sure enough, there was no article about Anna in the July 21 issue of Kicker magazine. Still, Kicker Magazine responded to Rita's provocation. In the other editors' article, there was a text in response to Bild, saying that the fat man had been doing well recently, just because Dortmund's recent warm-up opponents were weak, and it did not mean that Anna was wrong about the fat man. Borussia Dortmund's International Champions Cup and the German Super Cup against Bayern Munich will be the litmus test of the fat man's level.

However, the fat man had no time to pay attention to the kicker's comments about himself, and on the evening of the 20th, the fat man and his teammates stepped on the plane from Frankfurt to Shanghai. When the plane landed at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, it was already the afternoon of the 21st Beijing time.

After getting off the plane, the fat man heard the familiar Chinese, and felt very cordial in his heart, and it felt so good to go home. In the waiting hall of the airport, it was crowded with reporters and fans.

"Pang Hao", "Pang Hao", and "......" fans shouted the fat man's name loudly.

"Pang, you're so popular in China!" Ginter was envious of the fat man.

"Man, this is my home turf." The fat man replied with a smile, "The Chinese fans are very enthusiastic, and I hope you have a good week in China." ”

There were many domestic reporters in the waiting hall who wanted to interview the fat man, but they were all pushed away by the fat man. The fat man just gave the fans a few autographs and group photos, and then stepped on the team's bus. However, outside the team bus, the fat man saw the pick-up team of Dortmund's partner Evonik, as well as many children wearing Dortmund jerseys, and everyone naturally took a group photo and greeted.

The team then stayed at the Banyan Tree Hotel on the Bund, which is close to the Bund and has a very good view. The fat man wanted to go back to his room to rest and call his parents, but was stopped by the club staff, who had to attend the pre-match press conference with Coach Tuchel.

Manchester United arrived a day earlier than Borussia Dortmund and received the attention of many journalists, after all, Manchester United has frequently come to China to play in recent years and has many fans in China. And with the entry of the madman Magic Bird, Manchester United has received great attention from fans. Of course, reporters are more concerned about Pogba's transfer, which has been exposed by the media for nearly 20 days, and it is said that the two sides have started a tug-of-war over the transfer fee. Reporters were interested in asking Mourinho for confirmation, but Mourinho did not give a definite answer, and the reporter learned that the person Pogba had gone to the United States for a holiday after the European Cup, and reporters could only wait patiently if they wanted to get the latest news.

Borussia Dortmund's press conference also attracted a lot of attention from the domestic media, after all, this Dortmund team is also different because they have Chinese player Pang Hao in their team. The press conference was held in the conference room of the Banyan Tree Hotel, and many reporters came, and the fat man also met CCTV5 reporter Wang Nan, who had interviewed him before, in the crowd.

However, this press conference was mainly for coach Tuchel to introduce the team's situation, preparations, and schedule, and the fat man was pulled over, just to make up the numbers. The fat man also had this awareness, sitting behind the table at the press conference, and said nothing. In the end, he simply answered a few irrelevant questions from the reporter and left the press conference.

However, coach Tuchel confirmed one thing at the performance meeting, Gotze and Schurrle have signed a contract, Gotze joined for 26 million euros, Schurrle joined for 30 million euros, but both did not come with the team because they both represented Germany in the European Championships and were on vacation.

The joining of the two made the fat man feel unprecedented pressure. The previous chat with Rita is still fresh in my mind, and there is a good chance that Dortmund will continue to play the same tactics as last season, with the fat man having to compete with Aubameyang up front.

However, at this time, there was already a hot conversation on the domestic Internet, and the protagonist was a fat man.

"The latest news, Pang Hao has come to China with Dortmund to participate in the International Champions Cup, there are pictures and truths, and a photo of myself and Pang Hao is attached!" A fan left a message online.

"The news is accurate, I was waiting at the airport today, met Pang Hao, and got a signature. There are pictures and truths. "Second floor

"The first and second floors are so lucky, I also went to the airport, but it was too late, and the hair was not caught." Third floor

"The news of the brothers upstairs is too closed, I knew it when Dortmund announced the list of coming to China, and I am looking forward to the battle between the Hornets and the Red Devils!" Fourth floor

"How is Pang Hao doing in Dortmund, Germany, lately, worthy of such a big deal from the brothers upstairs?" Fifth floor

"Since the fifth floor is Xiaobai, I will come out to popularize Pang Hao's recent warm-up game. Pang Hao has participated in a total of four warm-up games recently, except for the first game without scoring, the second, third and fourth games have scored, the number of goals is 4, 2 and 3 respectively, and the performance is very good. "Sixth floor

"Nine goals in four games, it's really powerful. I thought that Pang Hao would play as a substitute for a year or two when he arrived at Dortmund, but I didn't expect Pang Hao to mix so well, this is to sit firmly in the rhythm of the main force! "Seventh floor

"Pang Hao's performance is so good, doesn't it embarrass my big football association, it's too faceless!" Eighth floor

"Don't mention the matter between Pang Hao and the Football Association, I get angry when I hear it. Pang Hao has not had a dime with the Football Association for at least a year and a half. "Ninth floor

"It's useless to mention it, the Football Association uses Pang Hao as a grass, and Dortmund takes Pang Hao as a treasure, this is the gap!" Tenth floor

"The latest news, LeTV live, Pang Hao is attending Dortmund's press conference." Eleventh floor

"Hurry up and watch!" Twelfth floor

"In the first Manchester United vs. Borussia Dortmund matchup, which team did you support? I'm a Manchester United fan, but Dortmund has Pang Hao in play and I'm very struggling right now. "Thirteenth floor

"We are supporting both sides, after all, it is not easy for Chinese to play football outside. I wear a Manchester United shirt and my wife wears a Dortmund shirt! "Fourteenth floor

"I support Dortmund, I used to like it, now there are Chinese in the Dortmund team, I have to support it even more!" Fifteenth floor

"......" (To be continued.) )
