After the climax of the first half, Freiburg's second half at home to Leipzig was uneventful.

At half-time, RB Leipzig made two changes in a row, replacing Khedira Jr. with striker Selke and midfielder Ilsanke for Dem. Changing the formation to 4132 and using Ilsanke as a single back is very decisive.

Streich, on the other hand, switched to central defence with Günther and replaced Horn to increase the speed of the defence to deal with Leipzig's attacking group of several speedy players.

It worked well, and even if the Leipzig players used their speed to break through the midfield interception, a couple of defenders could be added in time to be busy on the counter-attack.

Sunset, who was widely thought to be the most likely substitute, lasted until the 64th minute, when he was replaced by Huvnagle. In the middle of this, although Sunset's mobility ability has decreased, a sudden breakthrough after accumulating a period of physical strength will surprise the Leipzig players and coaches in a cold sweat, so that Leipzig will never dare to relax their defense.

As Sunset slowly walked off the pitch at the urging of the Leipzig players, there was some applause in the stands, and by the time he and Hufnagel hugged and applauded the stands, the applause was already pouring into a wave.

"Well done..."

Streich took Sunset's hand, and instead of letting go, he turned around and glanced at the stands, and said:

"The fans are starting to like you, that feels good, right?"

Sunset was already too happy to close her mouth, and nodded vigorously when she heard Streich's words:

"It's a great feeling, and I like the fans..."

After hearing Sunset's answer, Streich patted him on the back and turned to pay attention to the situation on the court.

Every coach and teammate who high-fived Sunset would pull and say a few words of congratulations, and it was clear that everything was different with the foundation of this game.

On the 74th minute, Leipzig were a little nervous after a header from Poulsen to Kaiser's volley, but Freiburg withstood the ensuing attack. After 85 minutes, Leipzig became impatient with their fitness and lack of time, but they were no longer threatening, and the final score was fixed at 3:1.

Freiburg regained the top spot in the Bundesliga table on goal difference, adding a lot of light to the significance of the victory.

After the game, I learned that Sven and Thomas were watching the game in the stands, and after celebrating with his teammates, he immediately rushed to the hotel to invite them to dinner.

However, before meeting, I specially said hello to Fassler. After all, I know that I am treated as a friend, but one is a player, the other is the chief scout of another club, plus a player's agent, it will cause unnecessary trouble to be maliciously interpreted.

Sure enough, Fassler heard that he was going to have dinner with Sven Mislintart, and was silent on the phone for a long time before asking:

"Yu, what do you think about staying in Freiburg next?"

"Huh? How can this question be asked? I didn't think about it, I was very happy in Freiburg, there is no other team that can give me such a good opportunity, I have 5 years left on my contract here, how can I think of anything else..."

Fassler asked again:

"But Freiburg is a small club, salary and..."

"No, if you want to think about income, there is no club that will give me more than the club in Huaguo. Fasler, I can't promise to stay in Freiburg forever, but the current contract I respect, really. ”

Hearing that Sunset was sincere, Fassler didn't say anything more, and didn't object to the meeting with Sven, reminding him to take a break and ending the call.

And Sven's first sentence when he met was to ask him:

"Yu, your progress always surprises me, how about coming to Dortmund?"

This made Yu Wei stunned, he thought that he would not be able to play in Freiburg for the whole game, and it was only a Bundesliga game. Even if the performance is passable, it definitely reaches the point where Dortmund does not look at it. So I was stunned for a long time before I said:

"I'm sorry, Sven, I had a lot of fun in Freiburg..."

This rejection is difficult for Sunset, and Sven has always helped him a lot, not that Chinese player can have the opportunity to stay abroad, let alone that player can have the opportunity to carefully choose the right team for him. It is rare for a person to be able to choose the right thing at the right time, and his steps are inseparable from Sven's help. If before Freiburg, it would have been difficult for him to turn down Sven, but now in Freiburg he can get enough opportunities to play, and the opportunities and challenges here are exactly what he can stay with a little effort, and he is the most suitable for himself. Rather than taking the risk of pursuing a big scene that looks beautiful.

Sven was a little more generous than Sunset thought,

"It's nothing, you don't have to apologize. Well, this decision may be the best for you, I'm a little obsessed, maybe it's better to go to Dortmund when you're ready. Not to mention that, we have to congratulate you on your performance, it was very wonderful..."

Sunset was very happy with this answer, it was perfect to balance football and friendship, and it was even happier to have Sven's understanding than to play a good game.

Thomas then brings good news, and Puma starts contacting him to sponsor Sunset.

"But the contract is very small, 500,000 euros for 5 years, I want to increase it with your performance today, but I recommend waiting, what do you think?"

Sunset hadn't paid much attention to this matter yet, and he also thought Thomas's suggestion to wait a little longer made sense, so he said:

"Okay, I'll decide the football things, you can worry about the business things, we are the best partners"

The post-match meeting with Sven was just a tidbit, life went on, the game went on, and after a day of rest, the team began to prepare for the 26th round of the Bundesliga match against FSV Frankfurt.

FSV Eintracht Frankfurt is not the same thing as the familiar Eintracht Frankfurt, although the team has an equally long history. In addition to some glory in the South German League before the establishment of the Bundesliga, the results have always been mixed in the lower leagues, and in recent years, it has been a good result to be able to mix in the Bundesliga.

At present, FSV Frankfurt is only ranked 14th with 28 points from 25 rounds, 7 wins, 7 draws, and only lost 0:4 to Frankfurt in the last round. For Freiburg, who had just recovered from a big battle, it was a good opponent.

In the middle of the week, Streich found Sunset for a solemn conversation. He was first affirmed for his ability and role, and then told that it was a special arrangement to use him in the match against RB Leipzig. At least this season, he will be used very carefully for his physical reasons.

To put it simply, for the sake of his small size, he still has to be an honest substitute in the future.

It's not unacceptable for Sunset, as long as she has enough playing time, it's no problem to go up first and then go up, and whoever can't make their fitness last 90 minutes. Not only does he not have a physical disadvantage when he goes up, but he can also play more targeted after observing the situation on the field, which is more beneficial to him.

In addition, Streich proposed to change the contract, cancel the 20 million euros that Thomas intended to add to the contract, and was willing to increase his salary for this purpose.

What really intrigued Sunset was Streich's statement that if he re-signed his contract, the team would build around him next season. Sunset was thrilled by this, a treatment that she had never dared to imagine before. Almost immediately, Thomas was informed to come over to discuss the change of contract and assured Streich that he would stay in Freiburg with peace of mind.

Sunset had heard of many players who wanted to show themselves on a bigger stage after they became famous or played well in a season, but he didn't think so. Sunset first believes that soccer is a team sport, and that few players can decide the game individually, and that he himself is not one of those stars. So a stable platform is what Sunset wants, and Freiburg has proven that it is a good fit for him, and he is willing to support him to help him improve himself, so there is no need to take risks at all.

And if you want to be the core of a team's future and want to leave yourself a way back, the club and the coach may not be willing, and no one wants to pay without security.

If it is true that in the next four or five years it has reached a level where it can take on a higher challenge, Freiburg is not a club that will not accept any offers in order to keep its core, even if there are no liquidated damages. If anyone just wants to spend a little money and get cheaper, Sunset might as well stay in Freiburg and work out.

So after hearing Streich's suggestion, Sunset gave him a satisfactory answer after thinking about it for less than two minutes, and then began to focus on tactical issues without dwelling too much on the contract.

Sunset inadvertently gets a lot of points, and Freiburg has always had a tradition of valuing justice over profit, at least on the surface, and former Meritorious Chairman Stok is most fond of his contract extension with the club's Meritorious Head Coach Fink, who won't last more than two minutes. Streich isn't a materialistic head coach either, and he feels that Sunset is more focused on football itself than on salary, and his favorability has skyrocketed.

During this conversation, Streich raised many aspects of Sunset that need to be improved, mainly strength, but did not ask too much about what is generally considered to be the biggest shortcoming, height and weight.

He believes that playing football doesn't have to be particularly tall and strong, Sunset's speed and agility are also his greatest characteristics, and his height and weight are better under the premise of maintaining speed and agility, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't.

However, strength is what Streich believes Sunset's biggest weakness, including the physical strength of the whole court and the results of the confrontation, which will affect Sunset's performance.

Streich not only raised the question, but also made a detailed plan, and there was a hard break waiting for Sunset at the end of the season.

There's another aspect that Streich focuses on that Sunset has previously overlooked, and that's calf strength. After the problems caused by the difference in physical training between the East and the West, it is obvious that Streich has paid more attention and understanding, and found that Asian players not only have worse leg strength than European and American players, but especially the calf strength gap is even greater. The reason why Sunset saw that the German players had very hard feet, and the long-range shots and ultra-long-distance shots kicked out were not only fast, but also very accurate, and I thought it was incredible, and the difference was here.

If it weren't for Sunset's outstanding performance that caught the coaches' attention, no one would have cared about these differences, and maybe you would have been misleading if you didn't shoot in front of the box and instead chose to pass the ball. Now it is obvious that Streich has taken much more attention to his vacation physical training arrangements, in addition to the team's strength and conditioning coach Ichter and James, who is familiar with Sunset's situation, and specially invited a German doctor from Harvard's fatigue laboratory to participate. The Harvard Fatigue Lab is an authority on exercise physiology, and it seems that Streich is really determined to cultivate Sunset.

Sunset is glad that she chose to stay in Freiburg without hesitation, and that she protected the interests of the club in the contract instead of thinking about herself, so how could people train you with peace of mind? At first, Streich didn't say anything about the special physical program.

……

However, Gu Shuo knew that he would still have to sit on the bench in the next round, and some of them were upset for Sunset, but let Sunset find an opportunity to remind them.

During the time when Sunset was concentrating on the important match against Leipzig, Gu Shuo, Wang Yifan, and Niu Xinqi trained with Freiburg Under-17 and participated in a youth team match for Breisgau County. Wang Yifan got the opportunity to come off the bench, but there were no goals and assists, and Gu Shuo and Niu Xinqi sat on the bench for the whole game.

Sunset takes the opportunity to relay her experience on the bench to them:

"Actually, the bench has to be attentive and very knowledgeable... Don't laugh, really. First of all, you have to observe the situation on the field and you can learn a lot. Also, the most important thing is that you have to watch the coach and see what makes him happy and what makes him angry, and then you know what to do and what not to do when you train and go on the pitch, right? If you can't satisfy your coach, even if you are talented, it is not for nothing that you don't get the opportunity to play? It's not a sycophant, it's a little trick to get a chance, really. ”

Hearing this, Gu Shuo was very inspired, and Gu Shuo sighed:

"No wonder you can mix it up there, it's too exaggerated..."

has not been as familiar as Gu Shuo and Wang Yifan, and Niu Xinqi, who has been a little shy after arriving in Germany, is the first to approve this time:

"I think Sunset is right, the most important thing we should do is to stand our feet first, in fact, compared to Sunset, it is much easier for us to get here..."

Gu Shuo is only laughing on the surface, but he is actually very concerned about football, and explained Niu Xinqi:

"Don't worry, Lao Niu, I'm joking with Lao Yu, in fact, I asked Lao Yu what to pay attention to before I came here. If there is anything else to pay attention to, hurry up and tell me honestly..."

Sunset didn't care about Gu Shuo's fierce grimace, and after the hard training, it was also a pleasure to chat and brag with a few familiar friends, so she pretended to be scared and continued:

"Also, if you want to stand on your feet, in addition to practicing football, you also have to learn to build your own connections, such as Frombach, he doesn't have a bad impression of you, and it's good to deal with him more. Don't look at him as a little brother in the first team, he is the boss in the echelon. Football is played by teams, you don't know what your teammates are thinking and how to cooperate?..."

These details that Sunset learned through Ukran alone, Hua Guo and Germany helped the three of them a lot to gain a foothold in Freiburg, and then helped the three of them achieve many unimaginable goals...
