"Mr. Rudine, did you mention that Borussia Mönchengladbach was interested in me?"

At the Parker Sports Medicine Recovery Center on the shores of Lake Chiemsee in Bavaria, Griffo suddenly asked about the agent next to him when he saw that the whole Freiburg team came to life after Sunset's breakthrough.

The chubby Rudine was a little surprised, glanced at the somewhat decadent Griffo in surprise, and asked with a stammer:

"Grifo, didn't you say you wouldn't consider a transfer?... Yu's performance is not stable, it's just that everyone is not familiar with his characteristics now, and you have a chance in Freiburg..."

Grifo stared at the TV in silence.

On TV, after Sunset let Verstner pass, he took a step to pick up the ball to the penalty area, and Niederlechner, who crashed into it from between the two central defenders, just crossed the line of the big penalty area, and the football landed on his left side, even if he rushed forward, it was still too far away from Union Berlin goalkeeper Haas, Haas rushed a step and felt wrong, the ball was right on Niederlechner's forward path, and he couldn't pounce on the ball before Niederlechner controlled the ball, so he had to retreat to prevent Niederlechner from hanging the goal.

After chasing two steps, Niedlechner has also adjusted his pace, and after catching up, he shot at the goal, and the ball flew quickly to the upper right corner of the goal, Haas was too late to pounce sideways, but as if God heard Haas's prayer, the 'bang' of the football was blocked by the post.

But Peterson didn't let that luck come to an end, as the ball bounced back and immediately reached out to block the ball into the empty net.

Before Sky Sports commentator Schmitz could shout his increasingly proficient 'Tor', Grifo turned off the TV and ended the silence:

"You don't understand, Mr. Rudine, Yu has become the heart of Freiburg's future, and you should see that when he has the ball, Niederlechner, Petersen, and even Philip, even if I or someone else passes the exact same ball, the chance of scoring is one in five smaller, and you don't get to experience it if you don't play... What else can I do back to Freiburg? Be his understudy? I can't accept it..."

It is said that the agent likes the transfer of his players the most, and sometimes even if the player has no idea, he will do everything possible to provoke, but Grifo's agent said uncharacteristically:

"I know, Grifo, I know it's not a good feeling, but because of the recurrence of your injury, a lot of it is gone. I've talked to Coach Streich and he thinks you two are compatible, he's not switching to winger now, maybe you can try it again..."

Grifo said with some hesitation:

"But his attempt didn't work well, and the coach may not insist..."

At this moment the door opened, and a beautiful blonde woman walked in with a large bouquet of flowers, greeted Rudine, and then hugged and kissed Grifo.

"Honey, are you worried about the game? Don't worry, I saw Freiburg enter when I passed the door, there is still time, everything will be fine..."

Rudine, who was greeting and walking out, quickened his pace when he heard this, this comfort only made Griffo more depressed, he didn't want to stay in this place where he was suffering from the fish in the pond.

In the away coach's box at Alton Woods, the home of Union Berlin, Wosler looked at the situation with a depressed expression and asked Streich:

"Coach, are you really not thinking about replacing him?"

Streich laughed instead:

"Forget it, let him go, even if he can always find a chance to play, let him enjoy... Even if our smoke grenades may not be successful, it is a bonus to know that it is difficult for him to be restrained by the whole scene..."

It wasn't until the evening that Sunset learned what the three coaches really meant.

It turned out that Jankovski and the coaching staff had already devised the tactics for the new season, and this innocuous game was just for next season's opponents to receive some misinformation, to lay some ambush for real tactics, and at the same time to give him a sense of the disadvantages of a simple winger.

The real tactical arrangement of the coaching staff is known as the '11 and a half' tactic, which is the premise of Sunset, but it is not a complete front to the pure winger position, but rather a gap between the winger and the left midfielder, closing the distance between the strikers but leaving enough space to play to the strengths and avoid the weaknesses. The reason why it is not implemented immediately is because of secrecy. Wait until the pre-season training camp to practice, when the team can practice in a closed environment and have a fixed number of personnel, so as to catch the opponents off guard in the more difficult Bundesliga.

Now it was Sunset's turn to cry and laugh, and the feeling of being particularly annoyed by the missed opportunity at the last moment turned into happiness, and the depression of losing was swept away.

Sunset was one of the first to emerge from the frustration of the loss, but the rest of the players didn't last long and returned to Freiburg to regain their vitality and learn about the team's holiday schedule.

Freiburg has been on holiday since 16 May, but the players are not yet able to go on holiday and will have to take part in a series of celebrations by the city of Freiburg and the club, before being free to move around for a week.

Sunset's vacation is even shorter, as he needs to stay in Freiburg to complete his studies and participate in a physical training program that the Freiburg club has tailored for him. When the summer holidays in Baden-Württemberg begin in July, the training camp for the new season will begin, and the only real rest is a short 10-day break from 26 May to 6 June.

This makes Sunset the target of ridicule for the whole team, and almost every one of his teammates will first report a few grievances to him, and then start to tell him about his vacation schedule and how wonderful the places he is going to are, so that he can't help but run away when he hears the word vacation.

But everything else was fine except for the holidays, and as a surprise for Freiburg's second half of the season, Sunset was named the Bundesliga Team of the Year and the Best Newcomer in the 15-16 season by German sports specialist Kicker, as well as the Best Newcomer in the Bundesliga by Sky Sports and Sport Image.

In addition to winning a lot of awards, Sunset also receives an invitation from the bearded Franz to fulfill the bet between the two of them at the West Stand Bar, where he invites everyone in the bar, including Sunset, to a beer.

Sunset was very happy with Franz's voluntary confession, and rushed to the West Stand Bar early after attending a sponsor celebration on the 22nd.

Seeing that Sunset really appeared, Franz, the bearded man waiting at the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a rare and amiable manner:

"I thought you weren't going to come there, that... I apologize for the offense you took when you first arrived in Freiburg, you did a great job..."

Sunset patted him on the shoulder, but the height difference was a bit funny.

"The past is gone, but don't want to skip the beer, buddy."

Franz opened his mouth but didn't say anything, helping to open the door and let Sunset walk into the bar.

Even though he was wearing a formal suit, the people in the bar recognized him at a glance, and everyone greeted him loudly, complimenting him on his performance, and then teasing the bearded Franz about how he was in the first place, and how he was prophetic about Sunset...

I don't want to investigate the truth of these words at all, anyway, I can't figure it out, the important thing is that he has changed the attitude of many people in half a season, and that's enough...
