Chapter 22 (I) Why not pity the people in front of you
Bastian Schweinsteiger's diary:
Wednesday, 6 November 2002, light rain
My head hurt today and the coach wouldn't let me rest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
My head hurt when I collided with Zhuo Yang in mid-air during training. I pretended it didn't hurt, for fear of being embarrassed when I rubbed it.
Zhuo Yang rubbed his head vigorously, and the coach said that if you were in pain, go and rest for a while.
I said that my head hurts too, but I was embarrassed to rub it just now, can I take a break.
The coach ignored me.
Resentment.

Thursday, November 7, 2002, cloudy. Beginning of winter
Lidong was said by Zhuo Yang, what did I mean when I asked him?
Half an hour later, Zhuo Yang said that even a pig should understand. But I didn't get it.
Why is there such a thing as a pig?
When we ate at the restaurant at noon, I still didn't understand.
Zhuo Yang poured me a lot of drinks, I drank so much that I didn't want to drink anymore, Zhuo Yang poured it back for me, and Pell said that it was not allowed to be wasted.
I said yes, and the coach said you go and run 300 laps, and I'll count them for you.
I said I wouldn't hold it out.
Resentment.

Today is matchday of the 11th round of the Regional League, with Madiborg Youth hosting Barnstov at home.
According to the old rules, the team gathers at noon, eats lunch together at the base, and after resting, does some simple training. When the time is almost up, the team enters the Victor Football Stadium.
Barnstov are a regional league powerhouse and they were at the top of the table until the ninth round, only to fall to second place after losing to Algermisen in the ninth round.
Madiburg Youth is now in first place with 24 points from 7 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, followed by Barnstov with 23 points from 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. It's a game worth six points.
Jurgen Klopp took the game very seriously and prepared well. Jurgen Klopp knows that Barnstov has the quality, but not as good as the Madiburg youth that he has single-handedly handled, and there is no problem in winning.
Zhuo Yang and Mertesacker also felt that Barnstouff would cause some problems and the match would be difficult, but they were confident that they would win this match.
Because the competition was crucial, Chairman Angus Mullen was also on the scene, accompanied by his good friend Professor Carl Norman.
"Damn, I don't think it's going to be worse than it is now." Mullen has a belly full of roundworms.
Yesterday in the twelfth round of the third division, the Madiburg first team lost again, currently 12 games, 4 draws and 8 losses, 6 points away from the penultimate place, straight to the northern league roaring.
"I think so. The youth team has a lot of potential. "Professor Norman sympathizes with his old fellow." Jurgen Klopp did a good job and was a good coach. ”
"That damn old stubborn, I asked him to pay more attention to the youth team and remind him that there are a few good seedlings in it." Chairman Mullen gritted his teeth in anger. He actually said that it was a bunch of children with fists and legs, and they would be so scared that they would pee their pants when they arrived at the C-level arena. Damn Stanley! ”
"Old man, it's time to think about the long term for the team. Stanley Fox is outdated, and he's only going to take your team to the abyss. ”
"Ahh ”
Professor Norman helped with the analysis: "It's hard to say, the third division is not a regional league, and the competition is much fiercer. Your team is in the third year of the third division, and there is no improvement at all, and you have injected a lot of money into it, so you definitely don't want to be relegated every year, right? ”
In order to gain a firm foothold in the third division, Malen has invested nearly 20 million euros in the past two years, which is a huge amount even in the German first division. But the Madiburg team has to reach the end every year to avoid relegation, which tests Chairman Malen's overwhelmed heart.
This year he has invested another seven or eight million euros, but so far he has not seen a single loss. Angus Mullen's money is not blown by the wind, and so much money also makes him very painful, but for the sake of the Madiburg Club, Malen gritted his teeth and stiffened, which caused him to have problems with the company's capital turnover, which seriously affected his business.
The reason why Angus Mullen invested so much was to get the team to the second division, which is a world of difference between commercial development and third division. If Madiburg reaches the second division, taking advantage of the geographical advantages of Hannover City, and then doing a good job in the team's commercial development and marketing activities, with a stable income, it is not a dream for the club to stabilize in the second division and be self-financed.
That's right, Madiburg FC is very small and the stadium is also very small. But because it is small, the cost is relatively economical. And, despite the small club, Hannover is a big city. Relying on the benefits developed in this big city, it is enough to support itself as a small club, and the premise is that the team will rush to the second division. Therefore, Madibao must not stay in the C level for a long time, let alone fall back to the lower level. Otherwise, everything will have to be started all over again, and the previous investment will be thrown away in vain. Angus Malen doesn't want to endure the same pain as the team in the lower leagues and will continue to reinvest. If that happens, he'd rather sell the club and stay out of football ever since.
Thinking of this, Maren's flesh hurt even more. This is the team he built single-handedly, and there is also the Victor Stadium named after his father, where you can give up. But if you don't, what about your business? Without money, everything is a floating cloud.
"I still need to talk to Stanley again and see if I can give him a little more time." Chairman Mullen rubbed his temples helplessly.
While Mullen had a headache, Reshakova and Mark were also chatting in the stands.
"Zhuo has been very busy recently, so he can only call every day, and if he wants to see him, he has to make an appointment." Ressa had a small grudge.
"That's right, I barely see him except in class. It's hard to play football, and Zhuo is really a hard worker. Mark Venster defended his friend.
Ressa is also scratching, so she is not lonely. "Chinese are always hardworking, but Zhuo is also the most special one I have ever met. Well, in all of them."
Do you have those cannons? Mark sneered in his heart.
"That's right, Ressa. How are you and Zhuo? "Mark cares a lot about his friends.
"Zhuo and I are very good, he is a very nice person, romantic, humorous, strong, and very gentlemanly. We had a great time together. Ressa still hasn't figured out how to treat Zhuo Yang, and it can be said that she hasn't figured out how to face Zhuo Yang and how to get along with Zhuo Yang.
Zhuo Yang gave her the feeling that was too special and tender. This feeling made her very comfortable, like a pampered little girl, like a glass of Bordeaux red wine, and like a basket rocking chair in her grandfather's farm.
