Chapter 140 No. 10 (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)

The most important jersey numbers in a football team are 7, 9 and 10. In particular, the number 10 and number 7 are often worn by the core stars of the team, especially the number 10 shirt, which is recognized as the absolute core player symbol of a team.

Currently in the Dortmund team, the number 7 belonged to the young teenager Moritz before that. Reitner, however, moved to Stuttgart during the winter break last season, and the number 7 has been vacant since then.

And Dortmund's No. 9 jersey previously belonged to Lewandowski, and now Lewandowski has transferred to Bayern Munich, so the No. 9 jersey is also vacant.

Borussia Dortmund's number 10 shirt, which previously belonged to Mario. Gotze, Gotze moved to Bayern Munich and now the number 10 shirt is also empty.

……

"At the moment, the number 7, 9, 10 and 14 are vacant among the important numbers." Dortmund's sporting director Zogek said.

These numbers, especially No. 7, No. 9 and No. 10, are all numbers that symbolize the absolute main force, and in Dortmund, the importance of No. 10 is greater, the previous owner of No. 7 Reitner is only a player of the German national youth team, the owner of No. 10 is the absolute core of the German national team and Dortmund, and No. 9 symbolizes the team's main striker status.

All three numbers are in high demand, and Dortmund has these three numbers empty in order to attract important stars to join.

Of course, Jiang Chenxi, as a star that Dortmund has focused on recruiting, is now eligible to lock any of these numbers in advance.

Zogork suggested that Jiang Chenxi use No. 9, after all, this is Lewandowski's previous number, and Dortmund introduced Jiang Chenxi to make up for Lewandowski's vacancy.

However, Jiang Chenxi politely rejected Zuo Geke's suggestion, and after thinking about it, he chose No. 10.

"Number 10, is that okay?" Jiang Chenxi asked with a smile.

"Number 10?" Zoger was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Of course you can!" ”

……

10, this number has become the core symbol of the whole team since the Brazilian king Pele, and it is the number that the ace of the aces is qualified to wear. No. 10 is the soul and core of the team Pele, Maradona, Platini, Zico, Baggio, Rui Costa, Figo, they give No. 10 too much meaning, the No. 10 jersey on the field seems to be an honor, a symbol.

However, in recent years, the No. 10 of some teams has begun to be a little unworthy of the name, French player Las Diarra has worn the No. 10 in Real Madrid, he is also considered the worst No. 10 in Real Madrid over the years, and French defender Gallas even wore the No. 10 at Arsenal, which was ridiculed by Arsenal's sworn enemy team fans.

The importance of the number 10 is not as important as before, but in many teams, this number is still very important, and only absolute core players are eligible to wear this number, which still has a special representative meaning and makes people's hearts surge.

Now the number 10 of the Barcelona and Argentine national teams is Messi, the number 10 of the Brazilian national team is Neymar, the number 10 of Chelsea is Mata, the number 10 of Real Madrid is Ozil, the number 10 of Manchester United is Rooney, the number 10 of Bayern Munich is Robben, the number 10 of Roma is Totti, the number 10 of Liverpool is Coutinho, and the number of 10 of Manchester City is Dzeko.

The number 10 of the Croatian national team is Luka Modric.

The number 10 of the Spanish national team is Cesc Fabregas.

The No. 10 of the Dutch national team is Sneijder.

The No. 10 of the Italian national team is Cassano.

The No. 10 of the French national team is Benzema.

The No. 10 of the Egyptian national team is Jiang Chenxi's friend Salah.

The No. 10 of the Japanese national team is Shinji Kagawa.

The No. 10 of the Chinese national team is Zheng Zhi.

Dortmund's No. 10 now belongs to Jiang Chenxi.

Zogerk immediately called the staff and immediately printed the number 10 on Jiang Chenxi's jersey.

Everyone is ready and waiting for him to choose his numbers before the operation begins.

……

June 26, afternoon.

Jiang Chenxi came to the Dortmund training base, and Dortmund officials wanted to take some promotional photos for him. In fact, it is wearing Dortmund's No. 10 jersey and posing for photographers to shoot.

There were no media reporters on the scene, Dortmund did not invite reporters, and Dortmund's sporting director Zorgeke is very smart, he knows the sensation that the number 10 shirt can cause on the Chinese star, and he plans to unveil it at tomorrow's debut ceremony.

In fact, the number of jerseys Jiang Chenxi will wear has already caused speculation in the media, especially in China.

The media generally believes that Jiang Chenxi will wear the No. 9 jersey, the striker's number, and because the No. 10 jersey is too significant, everyone speculates that Dortmund should let an absolute core player in the midfield choose this number.

In this regard, the Chinese reporter did not complain about anything, the No. 9 jersey is also the absolute main number, and no Chinese player has ever worn such an important number in a foreign club, let alone the Champions League runner-up team.

……

Day 2 June 27, 2013.

In the morning.

Jiang Chenxi, accompanied by the senior management of Dortmund Club, first arrived at the West*** Stadium and visited the club's honor room.

It's a regular journey for new players to join a big club, with the aim of developing a sense of identity and pride in the team.

Dortmund's Hall of Fame contains eight Bundesliga winners, the most recent of which was won by Borussia Dortmund in the 2011/2012 season. Borussia Dortmund once posed a strong challenge to Bayern Munich, but last season, Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga champion, regained the throne and dominated the Bundesliga.

In addition, there are 3 German Cup trophies.

4 German Super Cup trophies.

1 European Cup Winners' Cup Championship trophy, the European Cup Winners' Cup began in the autumn of 1961, is a European Cup champion team to participate in the event, belongs to Europe second only to the European Champions Cup, in 1999 UEFA restructuring will merge the European Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup.

And what caught Jiang Chenxi's attention the most was the big-eared cup in the center of the honor room - the championship trophy of the European Champions Cup!

This was won by Borussia Dortmund in 1997, when they stood on top of Europe.

It was also the last glory of Dortmund's previous glory period, after which the debt-ridden Dortmund began to sink, and at one point was on the verge of bankruptcy, and finally relied on bank loans to recover.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Dortmund President Reinhard. Raubal asked with a smile.

"It's beautiful." Jiang Chenxi looked at the Champions League trophy very seriously, nodded and said.

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of fans had gathered outside the West*** stadium, and these were Dortmund fans.

Some of them have black hair and yellow skin, these are all local people in Dortmund, as well as overseas Chinese in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, who specially rushed to Dortmund today to participate in Jiang Chenxi's appearance ceremony, most of them are not Dortmund fans, or even football fans, but they are still here, and they want to support Jiang Chenxi.

At half past six, the fans began to enter.

According to Dortmund's official post-event statistics, 21,345 fans were present.

Although this number is not much compared to the huge West*** Stadium that can accommodate 80,552 people.

However, knowing that this is not a home game, it is just the arrival of new players, and to be able to have more than 20,000 fans come to the stadium is already a very scary number.

This even set a record for the number of fans involved in the debut ceremony of Borussia Dortmund's new signings.

In the words of the "Rheinische Evening News", perhaps many of these fans are still worried about the future of this Chinese player in Dortmund, but they are willing to come to the debut ceremony, on the one hand, because after Lewandowski left, fans urgently need a new goal machine sustenance, Jiang Chenxi is the club's key recruitment, which makes up for this spiritual sustenance, or it can be said to be a sense of expectation, and the other is the domineering declaration of Jiang Chenxi reported on Dortmund's official website, Very pleasing to Dortmund fans.

Some fans bluntly said that they came to the debut ceremony and supported Jiang Chenxi for that domineering declaration.

……

In the evening, at 6:55 p.m.

The preparation of the stadium is ready.

The Dortmund team anthem resounded throughout the stadium, and the Dortmund fans at the scene sang in unison, with great momentum.

Jiang Chenxi stood alone in the passage, listening to the music outside and the faint shouts of his name, enjoying this moment of his own.

He is about to embark on a new journey on one of the most prestigious courses in Europe.

A beautiful staff member in Dortmund whispered in his ear, "It's time to play, Jiang." ”

……

June 27, 2013, 7 p.m. sharp.

Germany, North Rhine, Dortmund, Westfaren Stadium.

In the sound of uplifting music, Jiang Chenxi walked out of the players' tunnel.

The scene was thunderous.

As soon as Jiang Chenxi looked up, he saw the five-star red flag fluttering in the stands.

His eyes sparkled at this moment.

The red carpet spreads out.

Jiang Chenxi stepped on the red carpet.

Suddenly, the flash lights on the scene were loud, as if it was daytime.

The camera is tightly focused on the young Chinese player.

A young face, a straight nose, resolute eyes, and a yellow and black Dortmund jersey.

He stopped, stood still, spun around, and applauded.

Behind the Jersey:

Jiang!

10!

……

The cheers from the audience became even more enthusiastic.

Chinese fans and Chinese reporters applauded wildly, and everyone was shocked and excited.

Number 10!

Jiang Chenxi's jersey number is No. 10, this number symbolizes the absolute core, this number has a special meaning and makes people's hearts surge.

The five-star red flag flew over the spectacular West*** Stadium.

Jiang Chenxi, under the guidance of Dortmund club vice president Watzger and sports director Zogerk, strode to the podium in the center of the red carpet.

The young Chinese star, facing the microphone, spoke aloud:

It's a pleasure to be here in Dortmund, to be here at this great club, to be at this great stadium......

The cheers were thunderous, the team flag was flying, and the five-star red flag was waving in the wind.

Dortmund's new No. 10, Jiang Chenxi, appeared at the West*** Stadium!
