Chapter 10 Significance
Now that the season is almost over, Christina understands that she should have no law enforcement tasks next, after all, the important games at the end of the season are now not the turn of her little referee, who has just entered the industry for half a year, to enforce the law, so Christina chose to travel to Germany during the school holidays, and the first stop was Munich.
Located at the northern foot of the Alps, Munich is the largest city in southern Germany, the third largest city in Germany after Berlin and Hamburg, the capital of Byrnes, Germany's largest continent, and one of the economic, cultural, technological and transportation centers in southern Germany, as well as one of the most prosperous cities in Europe.
The name Munich means monk, and its origins date back to the 8th century, when a group of monks practiced here in tandem. The city's coat of arms also remained the image of a monk until 1726, when the figure of a child replaced the monk, based on the design of the artist Khubar. This image can be seen everywhere in the city. The year 1158 is the first documented year in Munich and is therefore officially recognized as the year the city was founded.
Of course, for football people, this city has a continental giant in Germany, and any football person knows the meaning of the name Bayern Munich.
She is a dream goal for almost all German players.
As long as she makes a call, almost no German player can refuse.
Many German clubs are like Bayern Munich's echelon, and the players who have worked hard to train end up going to Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich is the symbol of German football.
Throughout Europe, the "Southern Star" is the flag of German football.
After staying in a hotel in Munich, Christina called her parents to report her safety and headed to the first attraction, Marieplatz.
Marieplatz has been the heart of the city since ancient times, with the old and new town halls, especially the magnificent and richly decorated New Town Hall, which took 40 years to build in 1867, and the 85-meter-high bell tower has the largest puppet show in Germany, with life-size puppets coming alive every day at 11, 12 and 17 o'clock on time for the grand wedding of Wilhelm V in 1558. First there is a puppet show on the upper level, then a puppet show on the lower level, which lasts for about 10 minutes.
While playing, Christina noticed an old man, because she was really a little strange, the newspaper in the old man's hand was actually 66 years, seeing that the old man was a little hobbling to leave, Christina quickly ran up and asked in unskilled German: "Grandpa, why are you reading the newspaper of 66 years?" ”
Seeing that it was a cute little girl who asked the question, the old man smiled and said, "Child, do you want to hear a story?" ”
Christina nodded hurriedly, so the old man's thinking went back to 66 years: Let's go back to the distant past 1966 World Cup final, when England was the host team, that World Cup was held in England, my friends and I went to the final, Germany faced England, at that time, within 90 minutes, England and Germany were 2-2, into extra time, England's player Hirst shot, the ball hit the German team's goal and bounced down, After discussion, the referee team at that time ruled that the goal was valid, making England lead 3-2, and then the German players had no choice, the score was behind, and they could only press up to attack, and in the last minute of extra time, they were counterattacked by England and scored another goal, and finally Germany lost 2-4.
The old man still can't let go of this incident, although he and his friends still watched Germany win the World Cup a few years later, but the goal-line case is an eternal pain for German fans!
After listening to the old man's story, Christina finally understood why, to this day, Wembley Stadium still has a device that allows all those who come to the stadium to answer their opinion on whether the ball has crossed the goal line. In a museum in the United Kingdom, there is also a video of that moment, and people are asked to vote to see if the goal is scored.
And as a referee, Cristina knew that the goal that had been debated all over the world came in the 101st minute. England crossed from the right, Hearst stopped the ball and turned and fired hard, the ball bounced off the crossbar and bounced off the goal line...... Did the ball go in? Almost all 22 players on the field rushed to the referee Dennis, who ran to the sideline, where the Soviet lineman Bakramov gave a nod in affirmation of the goal, and Dennis then pointed to the center circle, and the goal was valid, 3-2! This controversial goal has been debated by posterity, and to this day, it is an unsolved goal in the history of the World Cup.
And when the old man knew that the little girl in front of him was actually a referee, the old man said earnestly: "Little girl, you have to understand that the person who really decides the fate of a game is not the players, but you, the "judges in black", the desperate efforts of the eleven players, and the love of a group of fans all depend on you to decide, I hope you understand that the referee must be worthy of his profession, but also worthy of tens of millions of fans!" ”
At lunch, the enthusiastic old man invited her to eat the local specialties Thuringian sausage and Bavarian white sausage, and the Germans have been cooking Thuringian grilled sausages for 600 years. As early as Goethe's life, this delicacy was already in the spotlight. However, with the exception of pork, marjoram, caraway and garlic, the nearly 3,000 Thuringian butchers are tight-lipped about the other ingredients. The only thing that is certain is this: the sausages must be grilled over charcoal and weigh about 150 grams. When you're here, be sure to try the "to-go snack" of Thuringia with authentic Thuringian mustard! In addition, according to the first museum of grilled sausages in Arnstadt, the earliest records of Thuringian grilled sausages date back to 1404 [
Made from veal and pork with onions and fresh parsley, Bavarian white sausage is one of Bavaria's most famous specialities. The sausages are traditionally served in hot water and served with sweet mustard, Brezel (pretzels) and a glass of Bavarian beer. Skilled diners can even suck the meat out of the sausage skin by mouth, with only first-time tasters and novices needing the help of a knife and fork.
In addition to the beautiful scenery and delicious food, Cristina is even more determined to be a good referee, worthy of her profession, and worthy of tens of millions of fans
After leaving the old man's name and address, Christina continues her journey to Germany, but what will she experience next?
