Chapter 119: The German "Red Devils"

??? Ni Tu is now on trial for Kaiserslautern FC, and his biggest goal now is to be able to do what Olaf Marshall has said to him, a successful trial, and then ...... Kaiserslautern of the second-tier team plays.

Obviously, including Ni Tu, Olaf Marshall would not believe that an "amateur" player could make it to the top of the first team in one step.

Speaking of Kaiserslautern FC, some people may know that it is a multi-sport group with a long history, and it operates many sports, with football being the most well-known.

The club was founded in 1900, which means that it has gone through more than 100 years of ups and downs, and it is a real "century-old store". Although compared to England's teams that were often founded in the mid-19th century, Kaiserslautern does not seem to have an advantage over the old side. But to be able to become a centennial club is undoubtedly a very remarkable achievement.

Facts speak louder than words, and this is much better than some domestic teams that shout the slogan of "building a century-old club" every day but slap themselves in the face with practical actions.

Many domestic teams still have a long way to go on the road to professionalism, and even the few teams that are really moving towards their goals can only say that they are just getting started. A team is like a person, and "ten years of trees and a hundred years of people".

Kaiserslautern has a very loud name, that is, the "Red Devils", England's Red Devils are Manchester United, but Germany's "Red Devils" is not their class leader Bayern Munich, but Kaiserslautern.

If you compare the vastly different circumstances of the two teams, it is clear that Manchester United in the hands of Alex Ferguson is shining incomparably, while Kaiserslautern is now suspected of "climbing relatives". Besides, the Red Devils are still struggling in the Bundesliga!

But if you know the deeds represented by the 7:1 massacre of Duisburg in their second heyday, there will be no objection to this title, they are indeed the Red Devils, the Red Devils of Germany.

In the 90s, the team won two Bundesliga titles in their second heyday, most famously in the 'Kaiserslautern myth in the '97-'98 season. The promoted horse won the championship in the first season of promotion to the first division!

A club with a long history and a team with great achievements, Ni Tu's visit today did not bring the slightest ripple to the calm waters of the lake.

He looked at everything in the training ground with some "greed", which was a feeling that he couldn't let go of after many years of absence.

It didn't take long for a staff member from the team to come out to receive Ni Tu and Flanders Lisch, and even if Ni Tu was the only one who came to try out, Kaiserslautern still set aside a special area for the tryouts to show their talents.

The trial of the football club is not as some people say, it is full of passionate collisions, and then the people present are stunned after playing a game, and the carp jumps over the dragon gate to get the professional contract, it is a whole set of systematic systems, maybe boring, maybe interesting and fun.

It was a very "boring" project, and the first inspection project that Ni Tu greeted was juggling the ball, and the test coach told him how much he could bump. There is no problem with this living Ni Tu at all, and he even occasionally plays with Xiaohua in the process of juggling the ball.

It can be seen that he copes with ease. After a while, he was stopped by the coach, and since there was no problem, it was obvious that the coach in charge of the assessment did not want to waste time.

Next is to dribble around the pole, Ni Tu completed the dribbling at the fastest speed, and the combination of the ball with him was very good, and he broke the team's record.

Although this is like Xu Sanduo's belly around the bar in "Soldier Assault", not many professional players have seriously cared about this record, but it really surprised the coach who assessed him, because he was looking at an amateur player, a student, and a Chinese......

Especially the Chinese, this fat coach feels a little unreal, "Is he really Chinese, not Japanese?" ”

In short, when the team first starts a trial, the main purpose is to test the fundamentals that we may not be interested in.

In fact, this is the right thing to do, how can you gallop on the green field without a good basic skills? How can a team let players play training matches as soon as they come up?

Maybe a person whose basic skills are not too good will occasionally have one or two good performances, but over time, people will find out how many mistakes he makes. In the professional game, needless to say, there are many mistakes, and a single mistake can undo the team's entire hard work.

Some people will say, my skills are not good, I can be a defender, but if a defender is not good, I can be a goalkeeper.

Such an idea is too far-fetched, but we don't know how high the requirements of modern football are for defenders and goalkeepers! It's not that the pestle is there to complete the task.

After experiencing several basic skills such as juggling the ball, winding the pole, passing and receiving the ball, as well as physical fitness tests such as sprinting and switchback, Ni Tu performed very well. It can be said that in the top youth training schools in China, he has at least learned more correct guidance in technique and body, of course, this is also a manifestation of soil talent.

"Ni, okay, these basic items have been tested, and your performance is very good!" Franrich is translating for Ni Tu, in fact, Ni Tu understands the meaning of the team coach, isn't a simple thumbs up worth a thousand words? Moreover, the coach's words are very concise, he listens attentively, and then puts the other party's words in his head and listens to them.

During the break in training, Ni Tu paid attention to Olaf Marshall, the second team head coach who was working with his players to resume training.

Marshall didn't come to say hello to him, but Flandrich got along very happily with people, he has been a fan of the club for many years, who doesn't know him?

The one-day trial training was very boring, but Ni Tu has been meticulously completing various inspection items. It's nothing to do, it's just about your professionalism, and you have to do one thing well. After getting used to seeing the country's enthusiasm for football from the inside out, Ni Tu has also become much more active than before.

After learning about the strength of civil engineering at Kaiserslautern University, and after learning that he could graduate with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Kaiser University of Technology, Ni Tu knew that he seemed to have more ways to go, which once made him lack enough hard work after encountering problems.

Fortunately, in the end, he stuck to his heart, otherwise in the future, the world would have one more well-known industry elite in the civil engineering industry and one less football talent in the football world.

Chinese teenagers, for various reasons, seem to be able to choose only a single path, and a single path has already made us very tired and tired. Unlike some Europeans, they can perfect their favorite football attainments without delaying their studies.

Therefore, we often see the news that some European stars have obtained bachelor's or even master's degrees, but we don't find out how many Chinese players have made breakthroughs in their studies, and the kind of diploma that is invited by universities to be "mascots" certainly doesn't count.

Things are not absolute, the scandal of European players seems to be more than that of domestic players, European football is a world where noble and depraved coexist, and what kind of person you become depends on your personal choice.

……

After the basic project, the next level of trial training is to participate in the competition, and the ability of a player to be tested must ultimately be implemented in the person's performance in actual combat. Otherwise, no matter how good your ball skills are, but you can't play them in the game, won't it become "cooking dumplings in a teapot"?

On the same day, Ni Tu was arranged for a training match with the Kaiserslautern U19 youth team, and he was the one wearing the vest......

Playing against these young players of his own age, Ni Tu has not many problems technically. He scored one goal and one assist in 10 minutes of play, and considering Ni Tu's status as an "amateur", his performance can already be said to be excellent.

While Ni Tu was participating in a training match, Olaf Marshall and his assistants came to the sidelines to observe his performance. Marshall's assistant was very happy after seeing Ni Tu's performance, and he excitedly said to his second-tier coach: "This young man is really what you wanted?" It's a great game! ”

"Let's see......" Marshall replied simply, without giving his partner a clear reply.

His assistant was still unsatisfied, and then said: "At least it is better than many of our young people, isn't it?" ”

"Man, one game doesn't decide anything, let him continue tomorrow and participate in a confrontation against our team." Olaf Marshall withdrew his gaze and said to his partner, and he himself fell into deep thought......

The assistant also felt that it made sense, so he conveyed his meaning to Ni Tu on behalf of Marshall.

When Flender Richy heard the other party say that he would come back tomorrow, he had some understanding and some confusion. As a fan of the team, he understands the club's caution, and for an amateur player and a student, it is already a "blessing" to be able to let him come to the trial, of course it is necessary to wait. But as Ni Tu's quasi-family, Flender Li Xi was not calm, he said to the visitor: "What? Don't you see how good our Ni is? He's played so well on the field, why didn't you sign him right away?

European clubs, especially clubs with a long history, attach great importance to maintaining the relationship with fans, and the people who came knew Flender Risch, a senior fan, were very friendly and polite to him: "Flanders, Marshall just wants him to come back tomorrow, and he has not denied him, I am very optimistic about him, if he can continue to play well, how can the team not sign him?" ”

Yes, as long as you play well, you will definitely be signed.
