November 6.

There were no fanciful flowers and applause, no fan welcome or even notice, and it was already afternoon local time when he arrived in Freiburg by train from Frankfurt, and he was picked up at the station by Freiburg club staff member Friedrich Schulz and a Chinese student named Lu Bin.

Sunset didn't wait for Lu Bin to translate, but chatted with Schultz enthusiastically, speaking German a little stumbling, but the meaning could be understood by the other party.

But Schultz was surprised and took him to an apartment not far from the Black Forest Stadium.

It is a one-bedroom apartment building located a few hundred meters south of the Black Forest Stadium, with an entrance hall on the first floor and a hollow-shaped staircase leading to four floors, with Sunset's on the third floor.

Entering is a living room, a dining room connected to an open kitchen, and a bedroom, albeit a one-bedroom apartment, which is spacious enough.

There is also a small balcony outside the living room, with tables and chairs and a few pots of flowers.

After explaining that the house would be paid for by the club, he said something else:

"Now the team is playing in Duisburg, so you are free to move until the 9th, and the manager Hartenbach wants you to meet and talk at the right time... Lu had his phone number there. He will then accompany you to settle into life here, working 3 hours a day until you can get used to Freiburg. But it sounds like it's going to be fast..."

After saying that, even Schultz left this is, leaving Lu Bin to accompany Sunset.

Lu Bin was familiar with the layout of the apartment, and after Schultz left, he changed to Mandarin and asked:

"Drink something? Tea or coffee? I prepared some yesterday..."

"Mineral water is fine, Brother Lu, I should be entertaining you..."

Lu Bin made himself a cup of coffee, then sat on a chair on the balcony and basked in the sun and started chatting.

He is an international student in Rongcheng, China, studying at the University of Freiburg, and working as a translator is his part-time job. Lu Bin is very curious about Sunset, as a person who knows a little about football, it is difficult to imagine that Huaguo can come to Germany to play, even if Freiburg is now in the second division.

"Are you in the Freiburg echelon? But it looks like Freiburg takes you very seriously. ”

Knowing that Sunset was just 16 and a half years old, Lu Bin took it for granted that he came from a football study abroad program similar to Wanda's. Sunset smiled bitterly, in China he is a rising star in the limelight, but in Germany, he has become an inconspicuous small character, no wonder Arshavin said that if they want to come out, they will come out as soon as possible, and stay in China for another two years to live a comfortable life, the gap in the middle alone will be unacceptable.

"No, it's Freiburg's first team, but you have to stay there to find out first, and if you don't know how to send the echelon down, you can't say it."

Incidentally, Sunset scared herself, and if she didn't perform well, Freiburg really put herself in the echelon for a year and a half and then sold it back to China at a high price. Yu Hui, who was infected by the leisurely atmosphere of Freiburg's small town, suddenly cheered up and began to ask Lu Bin where he could buy fitness equipment such as treadmills.

Lu Bin laughed, pointed to the forest and castle hill outside, and said:

"What kind of treadmill do you want here, people are running and cycling everywhere, this air, this environment, exercise on the treadmill and enjoy it a lot..."

Indeed, Freiburg is a warm, sunny town next to the famous Black Forest, with a lot of greenery, and the environment and air are superb.

Freiburg is also very different from other small towns in Germany that have a very old population, and the famous Freiburg University is located here, with students accounting for one-tenth of the total population of 200,000. It is also a small town that pays special attention to environmental protection and health, and I saw many people doing outdoor activities and exercising along the way.

Sunset smiled self-deprecatingly, it seems that it is not possible to consider the domestic experience, and the problem of adaptation is everywhere. So Sunset proposes to go out and get acquainted with the town, and if you want to adapt to the team, you must first adapt to the city, life, language, and way of thinking, which is Tymoshchuk's advice to him.

The two simply rented two bicycles and rode around Freiburg, and Lu Bin also introduced him to the places and common sense he needed to know in life.

Soon Sunset fell in love with the small town, with its warm sunshine and laid-back pace of life. The colourful houses in the old town have their own shapes, and it is said that they were paved with cobblestones from the 12th century, and there are still artificial channels built centuries ago next to them, and the river from the mountains of the Black Forest flows very clearly.

Lu Bin, who likes to be comfortable in Rongcheng, is very good at explaining the wonderful situation of the small town of Freiburg, so that Sunset can quickly appreciate the taste of this small town and like it here.

As they wandered around the town, Schultz returned to the club and was stopped by the janitor Fergt:

"Hey, Schultz, did you get that Huaguo kid? How is he?"

Schultz pursed his lips and said:

"It's not good, it's thin, and now Abrasi doesn't have to worry about being the shortest on the team... But I can already speak broken German..."

Fergt frowned slightly, and said loudly:

"Schultz, don't always be like this, Streich won't let an unqualified player into the team, and I heard that it was recommended by Dort's Mislintat, who is a guy with a very poisonous eye."

Schultz did not care about the displeasure in Fergt's words, and responded:

"I don't have racism or anything else inappropriate, and I won't be very enthusiastic about Freiburg until he proves that he can afford it. Uncle Fergt, I didn't discriminate, but he was too thin, and I was worried that everyone would treat him like a magnet on the training ground. If Mislintat really thinks about him, he will recommend it to us without bringing it to Dort?..."

After saying that, Schultz waved his hand and ended the conversation impatiently and walked into the club's office building.

"He's only sixteen years old, he's still a kid, you can't be too demanding..."

Fergt, who had stayed where he was, muttered, and turned back to the guard's room.

……

After visiting the small town with Lu Bin, he invited Lu Bin to have a German-style meal, then returned to his residence to clean up, then changed into sportswear and shoes, and began to exercise along the mountain path of Castle Mountain.

"Hey, young man, slow down, don't be so fast, exercise in moderation..."

Not long after Sunset sped up, one of the older men overtook him and gave him a loud suggestion.

"Thank you, uncle, but I'm a player, and my conditioning coach requires me to keep up my pace..."

The old man smiled kindly, and gave him a thumbs up to signal him to take care of himself.

"Players? That's pretty much it, a hard-working guy. When did Freiburg have Asian players? Korean or Japanese? Go back and give Fergt a call..."
