There is a square called Magler Square.

On one side of it, there is a dessert house. The owner of the dessert house is an old woman. She sells only one food item: gingerbread.

Many years ago, her gingerbread sold well every Christmas. It was a gingerbread made in the shape of a small person. And it's only for boys, not for girls.

However, many food stores opened nearby, and my grandmother's cakes were not easy to sell. Because the other shops have a lot of goods, there are all kinds of cakes and cakes, and the grandmother only sells gingerbread.

A well-wisher went to her and asked, "Why don't you sell other food?" The old woman was silent, just smiling.

Actually, this is a matter on my grandmother's mind.

When she was young, she encountered a world war. She saved an officer. Later, they fell in love.

However, she later discovers that the other party turned out to be an enemy spy. But she loved him, and she didn't say it.

At Christmas of that year, the grandmother made a pair of gingerbread figures, a boy and a girl. But when she gave it to the soldiers, she found that her sweetheart had been told a secret and wanted to run away. Before leaving, the old grandmother handed him the girl's gingerbread.

The soldier said, "I will definitely come back." In this way, decades passed, and the soldier was not seen again. The old grandmother also used it as a ginger person to commemorate her lover.

The story doesn't end there.

It is said that the grandmother still insists on selling gingerbread there.

She felt that if her sweetheart came back and couldn't recognize her, he would recognize her bread.

And so it was, many years passed. The old grandmother found that she could not live much longer. She's in a hurry. What if my sweetheart comes back and can't see her? So she found a little girl who cared about her and took her as an apprentice. Teach her how to make gingerbread.

Soon after, the old grandmother died, and the little apprentice continued to make cakes there. When the little apprentice is old, he will teach the next apprentice......

In this way, it has been passed down all the time, and "Macgoler's gingerbread" has become a tradition.

Every time before Christmas, people in Magler sell a piece of gingerbread to eat. And the gingerbread is only in the shape of a boy.

Time is like an arrow, and the times change......

A long time later, a traveler from afar arrived.

He bought a piece of gingerbread and pulled another one out of his bag, which was a girl's version of gingerbread. The shape is very similar. A lot of locals gathered around to watch.

"This is a traditional snack in our town, a long time ago, and it is said to have been invented by an old man. He's weird and only makes the female version of gingerbread.

Moreover, I heard that it was so that his lover could find him through the......

After Delia finished speaking, she looked at Shen Peng, "What do you think of this story?" ”

"It's a very warm love story."

At this time, there is a "beep" sound from the oven, and the gingerbread is ready.

Delia took out a piece, put it in her mouth, and took a bite, "Well, it tastes good, it's similar to what I used to buy in the store!" ”

After that, Delia picked up another piece and stretched it out in front of Shen Peng, "Come, you can taste it too!" ”

Shen Peng was about to reach out to take it.

Unexpectedly, Delia deftly dodged her hand, and then said, "Open your mouth, ah-"

"Uh......" Shen Peng was slightly stunned, then reacted and opened his mouth according to his words.

Delia also fed the gingerbread in her hand to Shen Peng's mouth, and after Shen Peng took a bite, she asked expectantly, "How is it?" ”

"Well, yes, it's delicious!" Shen Peng praised that the gingerbread was thin and crispy, and the taste was very good.

After feeding the piece in Delia's hand, she picked up another piece, "Then eat more!" ”

Shen Peng followed his words and ate it again,

……

In the evening, Shen Peng returned to the club - he could be at Lu Xueming's house during the day, and he still had to come back to sleep at night.

When he returned, he had an extra small bag in his hand, a bag of gingerbread that Delia had given him.

Originally, Shen Peng was going to go over again tomorrow, and there was no need to bring it back, but Delia said that she would give Shen Peng a bag, and Shen Peng had no choice but to accept this small gift.

……

The whole Christmas passed quickly, during this period, Shen Peng would go to Delia's house every day, and Delia would teach him the knowledge related to his football, and he also learned very quickly, in a few days, he had learned the relevant basics.

And in the days of Christmas, Shen Peng finally met Delia's mother, a busy person who is away all the year round, she looks very similar to Delia, the only difference is that one is yellow hair and the other is black hair.

After Christmas, he also went home before returning to Dortmund on 10 January to prepare for the second half of the season.

In the second half of the season, their task is heavier, in addition to the league to keep the chain off, there must be a breakthrough in the Champions League, although it may not be able to reach the result of reaching the Champions League final a few seasons ago, but at least to reach the quarterfinals, but according to the previous draw, their opponent in the first game of the Champions League is Juventus, a difficult opponent, if Dortmund has a strong attack, then Juventus is a strong defense.

Speaking of which, Juventus turned out to be the second in the group, which many people did not expect, but the first place in this group is Atletico Madrid, the runner-up of the Champions League last season, so it is normal for their two teams to be first and second.

After all the players returned to the club, Klopp also organized a physical examination, and most of the players maintained their physique relatively well, which made Klopp very satisfied.

Before the official start of the league, they played four friendly matches as usual, against Sion of the Swiss Premier League; Bucharest Star of the Romanian Football League; Utrecht in the Dutch First Division; and Düsseldorf in the Bundesliga.

In those four games, Klopp experimented with a number of new line-ups as well as getting his players back into shape, but even so, they finished the game with a total of 15 goals scored and one conceded in four games.

The biggest contributor to the goal is Shen Peng and Mbappe, after this period of running-in, the cooperation between the two has been getting better and better, among the fifteen goals, eleven goals are directly related to the two of them, and the remaining four goals, except for a corner kick, the other three are also goals scored because of the involvement of the two of them.

Klopp was already happy to see this situation, he didn't know Mbappe's potential before, which is equivalent to buying two twin stars for 50 million euros, one of which already has the potential of a superstar, and the other is temporarily almost, but after all, he is still young and has the potential to become a big star.

Soon, the team ushered in the first game of the league in the second half of the season.
