After playing the match against Iraq, the national team chartered a flight to Singapore, and four days later, they are about to take on their next opponent in the Lion City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With the exception of Qin Gude and Hao Jun, who were able to escape the long-distance flight of more than 10,000 kilometres and return to Germany early, the national team had already been confirmed to move on to the next stage.

What the two of them talked about the most on the plane was, of course, not the top 20 match, which was no longer in suspense, nor the possible groupings and opponents of the Chinese team in the top 10 match, but their common topic: the Cottbus club.

Cottages have three wins, five draws and four defeats after 12 league games, with 14 points only keeping them in a tie for 10th, while in the Europa League, they have won two and drawn two and are currently top of a group of underdogs.

The strength of the team is not strong, and the future in the league and Europa League may not be very bright, but it is this kind of team that Hao Jun can stand firm, have hope of staying in the mainstream leagues of Europe, and hope to look to bigger teams.

After three years of living, training and playing in the small city of Cartbus (including the youth team), it would be impossible to say that I didn't have a little affection for it. Qin Goode occasionally misses the head coach Hoffman who signed with him and promoted him to the first team, Jace who accompanied him to technical training, and the kind old captain Rost and goalkeeper Tremmel, but in fact, they have not been in touch for months.

He has ascended to a higher level, and those pasts are just buried deep in the dust of memories, only to see a corner of them inadvertently, and then to remember a little, that's all.

When they landed at the airport, it was already the afternoon of November 13.

After saying goodbye to Artemisia Jun, Qin Gude took out his Mercedes Benz from the parking lot.

If it were the same as before, he would definitely drive back to Dort as soon as possible, but now he needs to send a text message to his girlfriend, who is five years younger than him.

He didn't call directly because Ether was still in class......

As soon as I put down my phone, a short text message rang out.

"Come to my house?"

He could imagine the expression of the little girl who had just known what it was like at the moment.

So he replied: "Wash it and wait for me." ”

Since the following week was a national team match day, Qin Goode was able to enjoy a few days of leisure.

But after all, in other people's homes, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but gave full play to the diligent characteristics of Chinese men in his mother-in-law's house, and even took the initiative to go deep into the kitchen and fry two simple side dishes for the German family.

His cheerful and polite personality also slowly made the Peter couple accept his presence.

Peter, Shih Tzu's father, even drank a bottle of liquor with him, and then the two men vomited all over the ground.

You can't touch his baby daughter when you're drunk...... German men still have some terrible thoughts.

Just when Qin Goode was drunk, the Chinese national team, which relied only on domestic players, won a 4-0 victory in Singapore.

Winning all five games and accumulating 15 points, the Chinese team has entered the final top 10 as the first in the group.

In this way, the final round in March 2012 became a chicken rib.

Following the Chinese team's victory in the Asian Cup in 2011, fans across the country can have a comfortable year.

After the national team's big victory, Qin Goode's vacation also came to an end.

Just as he was on his way back to Dortmund alone, he received a call from Krot.

"Hey, Thomas?" He hadn't been in touch with the busy agent for nearly two months, "Where did you go to make your fortune?" I haven't seen you lately. ”

"I went to Japan and signed a few young players from the J-League to bring in the Bundesliga during the winter break," Krott explained briefly, and then asked, "Even if I'm so busy, I know that you've been in the limelight lately, the Champions League slaughtered the Athens team, and the earthquake hit the night that night, when did your physical strength become so full?" ”

Qin Gude smiled and asked, "Hey, you're not going to call me just for this little thing, are you?" ”

"Well, I'm here to confirm your itinerary," came the sound of a paper flipping on the other side of the phone, "At the end of this month, you're going to attend the AFC's year-end meeting, no matter what, you have to set aside time." ”

Qin Gude was slightly stunned: "What does the summary meeting of the AFC have to do with me?" ”

There was silence on the phone for three seconds, and then Krot's helpless voice came: "Please, Good! Don't tell me that you didn't know you were shortlisted for the Asian Footballer of the Year? ”

Qin Gude was stunned: "Uh...... I don't know, I just know that I was selected for the 50-man squad for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, Asian Footballer of the Year...... When did it happen? ”

"It's this morning." Krot must have been speechless.

"Okay," Qin Goode pouted, how could he have time to pay attention to sports news these days...... "I'm driving back to Dortmund, can you tell me who has been selected?" ”

"In the final six candidates, in addition to you, there are your club teammate Shinji Kagawa, South Korea's Koo Ji-cheol and Yeom Ki-hoon, Uzbekistan's Jeparov, and Iran's Ajili, but you have the huge advantage of winning the Asian Cup and the best player, and you are also the number one player in Asia, and your recent performances in the Champions League and Bundesliga are so eye-catching, so you must be the biggest favorite, but the AFC will certainly not award the Footballer of the Year trophy to a player who is not present at the conference. You're going to be there, right? ”

"Of course." Qin Gude responded with a smile.

Since he is the biggest favorite, why should he give up this honor that has already been obtained?

"One more thing, two Japanese companies approached me and wanted to sign a sponsorship contract with us, and the price is quite good, and it is worth talking about," Krott turned another page in his notebook, "one is a car, the other is a ......"

"Oh, Thomas," his employer interrupted his introduction, "I don't accept sponsorship from Japanese companies, oh yes, Korean companies too." ”

"Uh...... You're narrow-minded nationalism, Goode. Krot did not give up, he still tried to convince his players, "Now is not the past, the world economy has been completely globalized, do you still want to boycott Japanese products?" You have to know that your phone and computer have parts made by Japanese and Korean companies......"

"There's no way to avoid it, but I can refuse to speak for them." "I feel like I'll be able to earn bigger contracts from European companies soon." ”

"Well, I respect your choice." "I wish you a great performance in the next league game, and I will also bring potential signatories to watch the game live." ”

Qin Goode is now full of confidence: "I'll let you sign a big order, Thomas, goodbye." ”

Qin Good, who hung up the phone, then remembered, the current league Dort momentum is just right, only 1 defeat in 12 rounds, where do you need any blessings?

What Dortmund need more is a Champions League victory.

So he flipped through the schedule, and it suddenly dawned:

In the 13th round of the league, their opponents are the main contenders for the Bundesliga title: Bundesliga team Bayern Munich.
