49. Return to Cottages

Since he returned to China, Qin Gude simply took two days of family leave and returned to Dalian directly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jurgen Klopp, who had just won a 3-0 thrashing in the Ruhr derby with a rotational line-up, approved him without saying a word, telling him not to delay the final round of the Champions League on 6 December.

Shinji Kagawa and Reus, who returned to the starting line-up, scored their third goal of the season, and the back-to-back main players were given a rare rest.

With the exception of teenager Leitner's unfortunate injury in the last round and further increase in injuries, Dortmund are in great shape right now, and Jurgen Klopp has decided to continue with a rotating line-up for the next league game, and he wants to ensure that the first-team players can show the most firepower in the Champions League.

Of course, Qin Goode also knew the importance of this game, and he only rested at home for two days, underwent a physical examination and restorative massage from his grandfather and father, and after confirming that everything was normal, he boarded the plane back to Germany.

It was another day and a night of foggy journey, and on the last day of November, he was back in the team.

Fortunately, there was a semi-professional massage master at home who could relax his muscles and bones, and Qin Gude quickly recovered from his discomfort - although he had also learned to handle the starter, he would never be able to relax his back by himself......

So he caught up with the next league game.

Dortmund was heading to the easternmost part of Germany - Brandenburg.

Their opponents...... Cartbus.

"Oh God," Grosskreutz rubbed his shoulders against Qin Goode, "have you always been so popular here?" ”

Qin Goode ignored him, and he was looking at the Otbus fans outside the bus intently.

All of them are red and white jerseys, and many of them have their names and numbers printed on the backs.

“22、god!”

That's right, not good, but God.

It was a temporary limited-edition winner's shirt after leading the team to Europa League qualification and German Cup triumph last season, each with a full-body drawing and signature of the player, which was a huge and certainly money-making opportunity for the Cottage club, which lacked honour......

Although Qin Goode transferred and left half a month later, his No. 22 jersey sold nearly 5,000 pieces in ten days, which is almost one-third of the team's total jersey sales.

So, during his two years at Cartbus, Qin Goode earned at least one million euros in jersey money for the club, which will become a historical record for the team at least for a long time......

Perhaps because of Qin Good's relationship, the coaches and senior management of the two clubs behaved very politely after meeting each other, and the always stingy Ketbus manager Heydrich even took the initiative to invite Watzke to have a drink before the game, and Watzke also happily accepted his banquet.

Hoffman said hello to Klopp with a look of regret: "14 million, we sold too little at the time!" ”

Klopp laughed, proud of his vision.

On the day of the game, despite the fact that the home side were on the back foot from the start and the two teams did not play a sparkling scene, Hao Junmin, who played as a right midfielder, tried hard to prove that he was doing everything in his power to take over the role of Qin Goode, but his side still quickly conceded two goals in a row.

Back-to-back Royce opened the scoring and was assisted by Shinji Kagawa – the Japanese king, who knew he might not be able to play in the Champions League in three days' time, maintained a rare fighting spirit and was even more eager to prove himself than Haojun.

The second goal again came from Kagawa, who headed in Lewandowski with a free-kick from midfield.

Although he did nothing in many games in the Champions League, Kagawa, who returned to the league, still fulfilled the role of the attacking core well.

Wedenfeller, who was resting off the bench, sat next to Chingold, sipping coffee as he looked at Cottages' veteran goalkeeper Tremel, and he exhaled a little - sure enough, the colleague was also good at saving long-range shots, but showed obvious shortcomings in the face of close-range shots and headers.

Hao Junmin helped the team pull a goal back at the beginning of the second half, but after the 75th minute, Qin Goode took off his winter suit and stepped onto the turf of the Friendship Stadium.

It was already very cold in Germany in December, but the Friendship Stadium suddenly erupted in a round of applause.

"Ancient ...... Virtue, Goode!

The strongest energy source in Ivbus!

You are the God of Cartbus......"

After half a year, the song of Qin Gude sounded again in the sky above the stadium.

Qin Gude didn't expect the fans to sing for him while the two sides were still fighting, and he had to complete the substitution with his teammates while applauding and thanking the fans from all sides.

Seeing his former God responding to him, the applause in the stadium became more and more enthusiastic, and he couldn't stop at all.

Duan Yixuan, who was in charge of the commentary, let out a long sigh: "Players often have deep feelings for their first club, and the same is true for Qin Good. He was the ace and the heart of Hoffman's hands, and the fans here saw him more as a hero and a god, only they had to separate. But the fans will not forget him, he will not forget the fans, this is the touching thing about professional football, but it is also the cruelty of professional football, how many players can choose to die at the club they first joined like Maldini, Giggs and Scholes? Even the Bernabeu Prince Raul and the Zebra Prince Piero, who are like the team's flags, will leave their favorite team at the end of their careers. There have been very few players loyal to one team in the past, and I am afraid that there will be fewer and fewer in the future......"

When he was lamenting, Qin Goode got the ball for the first time after coming on the field.

Familiar venues, familiar coaches, familiar fans, familiar tactics......

And the most familiar opponents.

In the past six months at Dortmund, his training is still diligent, the overall level of his teammates is higher, the coaching team is more professional, and in the Champions League, he has encountered the giants of other leagues that he has never seen before, these factors have accumulated together, and Qin Goode has grown more rapidly.

He dribbles, he shakes, he breaks, he passes.

The 33-year-old captain Rost didn't even have time to foul before he was easily shaken past and watched as he swung his leg and shot from outside the penalty area.

The shot was as powerful as ever, and he had seen it at least 100 times in the previous two seasons, only this time...... He was still wearing a red and white jersey, but the opposite side was changed to a yellow and black jersey.

Tremel's body stretched out like a wild goose, but he still couldn't touch the shadow of the ball.

Yes......

The Cottage goalkeeper was not frustrated, he was only surprised to notice that the team-mate, who had played together, had a much faster and more precise shot, and that he was helpless in the face of what seemed to be an understatement from long range.

After scoring his trademark long-range shot, Qin Goode thought the home fans would fall silent for a while, but he still heard the familiar song of God fluttering over the Friendship Stadium.

"The Chinese God of the warships of the East China Sea,

His heavy artillery can sink all strong enemies,

The Friendship Stadium is never silent......"

Of course, Qin Goode didn't celebrate at this time, he just trotted to the main stand he was most familiar with, where Chloe, the leader of the fan group, waved the big flag with his portrait on it in the crowd.

Seeing the heroes of yesteryear coming towards him, the Cartbus fans sang louder and louder.

"Thank you, Chinese God!"

Chloe's voice stands out in the singing.

Qin Goode tilted his head and clapped his hands vigorously at these fans, but his eyes couldn't help but be sore.

The Friendship Stadium in Cottage is as warm as home.

But the evening breeze here also faintly carries some sand. (To be continued.) )
