Chapter 168: Warm-up Match (Part I)

As the saying goes, just talk and don't practice fake tricks. In preparation for the new season, Kaiserslautern has already scheduled a few warm-up games before the season, and the team will make final preparations in an almost actual way.

On 8 July, Kaiserslautern will take on their first warm-up opponent, Wayne Wiesbaden. The two teams met almost two months ago, in the second division, with Kaiserslautern winning 1-0 in the most recent game.

In the new season, Wayne Wiesbaden has been relegated to the third division, and they will officially compete with Kaiserslautern's second team, and it seems that in this friendly match, the small team of Wayne Village will be half shorter than Kaiserslautern.

Ni Tu didn't catch up with this game, he just was selected for the first team, he is not a big name, it is impossible to play immediately because of political tasks, but he watched this friendly match on the sidelines of the training ground.

It stands to reason that Kaiserslautern is significantly stronger than the disheartened Wayne who was relegated to the Bundesliga, but the world of football is so unpredictable.

Unexpectedly, in this first friendly match, the hurried "German Red Devils" came up and was beaten 0:2 by Wayne.

It was clear from the course of the game that Kaiserslautern was not yet in the rhythm, and although the new coach arrived in time for pre-season, Kurz's arrival only slightly alleviated the doubts of the team.

Everyone has a small ninety-nine in their hearts, and the new coach has a long way to go.

For Ni Tu, this game is also quite meaningful. Not to say that he witnessed his team's defeat, his friend Lasat Knight, who got along well with him in the second team, moved to Wayne-Wiesbaden this season. Kaiserslautern II and Wayne are both going to play in the third division in the new season, Wayne is a relegation horse in the second division, and has the qualification and strength to return to the second division, but Kaiserslautern II cannot be promoted.

After the game, Ni Tu, Knight, Stashinik and Shadi took the time to meet, and several people planned to catch up, one was to celebrate Ni Tu's promotion to the first team, and the other was to say goodbye to Knight.

Ni Tu suggested that everyone meet in Du Jianbai's restaurant, and everyone thought it was very good. Shadi and Ni Tu don't drink, there's no point in going to the bar, Stashnik likes to drink a little, but fortunately, Du Jianbai's Chinese restaurant has white beer, let him drink as much as he wants.

Ni Tu has a feeling of being a host, he has no experience, but fortunately, everyone does not have the three doors and five ways on the Chinese table.

"It's rare for everyone to get together, and I think this is the first official gathering for everyone, right?" Ni Tu made a start and opened everyone's memory mode.

Knight immediately picked up the conversation, he said with a smile: "Who said it wasn't, Ni Tu you and Shadi are too boring, they know training all day long, training matches during the day, but at night they are used to relax!" ”

Shadi saw that the other party's words provoked him, so he also opened the conversation: "Hey, man, we are people with lofty dreams, we love training just like you love to play with women!" ”

Stashnik nodded heavily, a sinister smile on his face.

Big guy, you and I are teasing each other, at this time I am teasing you with him, and the next moment he is teasing me with you, and they are "fighting" with each other.

Ni Tu "talked and laughed" with everyone in the crowd, there was no language barrier at all, he completed an amazing achievement, it took less than 8 months to master a new language, plus the previous level of English, now he can be said to be "proficient" in three foreign languages, not counting the dialect of his hometown.

Stašnik said enviously: "Ni Tu has been promoted to the first team, Lasat has found another job, only me and Shadi are still sticking to the old place, fortunately, we are playing in the third division this season......" His words were a little sad, not only lamenting the changeability of the world, but also seemed to be sighing for himself, Ni Tu and Knight chose different paths, they both found other careers, and the paths of the players in the second team are nothing more than the above two kinds.

At this time, Shadi, who also stayed in the second team, was a little silent, everyone didn't know what he was thinking, everyone was so engrossed that they forgot to observe him......

Ni Tu is lucky, compared to Stashnik and Shadi, he managed to be promoted to the first team, compared to Knight, he has the possibility of playing in the Bundesliga and the opponent only playing in the Bundesliga;

Ni Tu is unfortunate again, since he entered the first team, it seems that only the team training game is where he can show his face, and there doesn't seem to be much of him in the pre-season warm-up games. The team has already played 3 warm-up games, and Ni Tu can only make his debut in the final stage of the game.

Whether it's Switzerland's Schavihaus or Germany's Offenbach kicker, Ni Tu only got 10 minutes of playing time!

This poor performance was not enough time for Ni Tu to show himself, and the team has not won a warm-up match so far, and they face the heavyweight opponent Frankfurt in the warm-up match with a record of 1 draw and 2 losses.

The Eintrachter Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung published a small report before the warm-up match between Kaiserslautern and Eintracht Frankfurt: a second division team that lost three consecutive games last season and has not won a warm-up game in the new season, and the Bundesliga giants Eintracht Frankfurt are likely to end in a big win for Frankfurt...... What the? They claim to be the German Red Devils? Please, this is the 21st century, and people can't live in the memories of the past! Of course, we should be patient with Kaiserslautern, who have just finished the turmoil after a change of manager, and wait slowly for them to get back on track. But can appointing a manager with a disgrace be able to handle the burden? And how long can this 'Red Devils', who have not been able to return to the top flight for four consecutive seasons, be willful? ”

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung expressed its attitude that they expressed their doubts about Kurz without questioning Kurz...... Who is he?

As a major newspaper in the western region of Germany, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has always been a right-wing newspaper, and they are typical pioneers and important representatives of the media's double standards. They noticed a Chinese in Kaiserslautern's first team, a Chinese who doesn't seem to have what it takes to play in the second division......

The newspaper thought that it must have been a cheeky Chinese company that had run this obviously incapable Chinese "player". In recent years, as China's economy has caught up with and surpassed Germany, the Chinese have become more and more annoying in the eyes of the Germans, and their businessmen have found it difficult to suppress their enthusiasm for investing everywhere.

What is worth introducing about a player who has been operated, it is another warm-up game, which is completely unnecessary, so the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" selectively ignores Ni Tu, who is a yellow race.

Of course, Ni Tu doesn't have the kind of leisure time to pay attention to this media, he only knows how to continuously improve his strength, he is just looking forward to playing.
