Chapter 36: Bochum

Shen Peng came to Europe this time, not like he went to Jianghai City before, but also to find a team by himself.

Before he came, Kong Liangtao had already helped him find a club, which was currently in the Bochum Club in the German Second Division, because he had a business partnership with Kong Liangtao's company, so if Shen Peng came, he could directly get the opportunity to try.

With Shen Peng's current level, he is still a little short of going to the five major leagues, so it is very good to be able to come to a secondary league of the five major leagues.

The Bochum club has nearly 5,000 members, and in addition to football, there are also badminton, basketball, volleyball, table tennis and other departments, but the football department has the largest number of people, accounting for nearly half.

So when Shen Peng followed Liu Hecheng to come here, he was surprised.

"Uncle, are you here to talk about business this time?"

"Yes, but I'll probably stay here for two months, and by the way, I'll help you take care of some of the things you just came here."

"Thanks, uncle!"

"I'll take you to the club now, with your quality, you should be able to get into their first team."

The head of the Bochum club is a capable middle-aged man, who may be a bit rigid because of his long work.

"Hello, Mr. Adolf."

"Hello!" Adolf looked at Shen Peng with a puzzled expression.

"His name is Shen Peng, and he is here to join your club this time." Liu Hacheng explained with a smile.

As soon as Adolf heard this, he smiled at Shen Peng, "On behalf of the club, I would like to welcome you, although there are not many people in our club's table tennis department now, but I believe that after you come, you will definitely be able to attract more people to join." ”

Because Adolf spoke German, Shen Peng couldn't understand it, but Liu Hecheng's face was a little exciting, "That's ...... Mr. Adolf, he's not here to play table tennis. ”

"And what is he here for?"

"He's here to play football."

"Football?" Adolf was obviously a little stunned, but his face quickly changed to a serious expression, "With all due respect, if his skills go to the third division, he may still have a chance." ”

"Mr. Adolf, you haven't seen his skills, how do you know he's not suitable for the team?"

"Mr. Liu, you must know that there is currently only one Asian in our club team, and he is from your neighboring country, his name is Yusuke Tasaka." Adolf said with a blank face.

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, Liu Hacheng knew that this was discrimination. However, there is nothing wrong with the other side saying this, because the domestic football environment is really bad, and it is rare to have the kind of players who can play in a league like the European Bundesliga.

"Mr. Adolf, I hope you can give him a tryout, I can guarantee that he will meet your requirements!" Liu Hacheng also said solemnly.

Adolf frowned when he saw Liu Hecheng's attitude.

Since Liu Hecheng said so, he couldn't refuse anymore, he just arranged a trial, and didn't say that he wanted to join directly, if Shen Peng didn't meet the requirements, it would be a waste of time.

Moreover, the company represented by Liu Hecheng is their business partner, if they don't even give a chance to tryout, I'm afraid it will really affect future cooperation.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, I can promise to give him a tryout, but whether he meets the requirements or not is up to Mr. Neururell to decide." ”

Neururell is the current head coach of Bochum.

"Of course." Liu Hacheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

"But now they're still on vacation, and they won't be back until two days later, so you just have to wait."

"No problem." Liu Hecheng immediately expressed his understanding, and then talked about some other matters before leaving here with Shen Peng.

"Uncle, what did you just say?" Shen Peng asked curiously, he knew from the tone of the two just now that it seemed that the conversation was not going well.

"Nothing." Liu Hecheng didn't care, "By the way, you will have a chance to try out in two days, and you have to seize it then." ”

"Don't worry, I'll do my best!"

"It's not like playing here in China, where players play 90 minutes and it's a basic requirement, so you don't have a physical advantage, but if you can use your speed well, it might be a highlight for them."

"Also, you have to show off your long-range shots, the stronger you are, the more they will recognize you, and the higher your salary will be."

"How tall can it be?"

"The annual salary of the main players in the German Second Division is generally 10 to 200,000 euros after tax, which is equivalent to between 80 and 1.5 million yuan in my country."

"Wow, you can make so much in a year!" Shen Peng's eyes lit up.

"That's more? When you do get to the top league and play at a high level, you can get so much in a week! But you should play the main team here now, and let me remind you first, the level of the Bundesliga is higher than that of our country's Super League. ”

"yes, I know." Shen Peng nodded, Kong Liangtao had told him something related before.

Soon, the two found a hotel to stay in.

If Shen Peng can successfully pass the trial, he can live in the club in the future, and of course, he can also choose to rent a house outside.

The next day, Liu Hecheng took Shen Peng on a tour of Bochum.

Bochum also has a number of attractions, such as the Century Auditorium Bochum, the Abbey Church of St. Peter and Paul, and the Chase Planetarium Bochum.

However, Shen Peng is not interested in these, in his heart, these things are not as good as those landscapes at home, but it is the Bochum University here that arouses his interest.

He has only been to Jianghai University in China, so he can't help but compare the two in his heart.

In the end, he came to a regrettable conclusion: Ganghai University seems to be inferior to Bochum University in every way.

The simplest, Jianghai University knowledge can occasionally meet a few foreigners, but here you can often see students of different colors, on average one out of ten people is from another country.

……

On January 10, Bochum Club officially notified Shen Peng to go for a trial.

Shen Peng has finally adjusted his biological clock in the past few days, and he is in good spirits now.

In this regard, Liu Hecheng did not forget to remind: "Boy, remember what I told you, if you fail, you will either have to go to a lower league, or you can only return to China." ”

When he arrived at the training ground, a middle-aged man with curly blond hair was already on the field, and in front of him stood about thirty people, only one of whom had an Asian face.

They are the newly returned head coach Neu Rurell and 31 members of the team.

Neururell looked at Shen Peng with an interested look on his face, and asked, "Are you here to join our club?" ”

Since it was in English, Shen Peng easily understood, and immediately replied in English: "Yes." ”

"I'm not asking for less."

"I'm confident I can live up to your requirements, Mr. Coach."

"Good luck then." Neururell smiled.
