Chapter 2 Hello, "Mr. 30 Million"
readx;
As a result, just now, when I was about to upload a free chapter as compensation, I found that I couldn't get the effect of the free chapter by uploading it first and then modifying it, and it still became a paid chapter of more than 6,000 words. After asking the editors, the www.biquge.info found out that a chapter of less than 1,000 words had to be published first, and then revised...... Embarrassment.
This time, I re-uploaded and revised the text of a chapter of more than 6,000 words as compensation for the "free chapter" of more than 1,000 words in the morning chapter.
Because I didn't come to the starting point after uploading today's update, I didn't find out until now, so please forgive me!
※※※ Fritz. Abel was a student at the Lütner Vocational Preparatory School in Munich, wearing old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses and a now-unfashionable middle part, when in fact he was only 14 years old. He is a high school student who will graduate from school in one year, and after graduation, he will undergo three years of apprenticeship, and if nothing else, he will go out into society and become an ordinary worker engaged in handicrafts and manufacturing.
If his parents had not divorced when he was nine years old, perhaps he would have had the opportunity to go to a real high school, or even a liberal arts high school, where he would graduate as a middle-class professional in business and government, and the latter could go on to university. In any case, it is much better than a labor worker.
Now he has to use the summer vacation to earn money, not to subsidize his family, but to be able to buy a few tickets after the start of the new Bundesliga season so that he can go to the games live. Like many German kids, he is a football fan. Although he is a native of Munich, he is not a fan of any Munich team, neither a supporter of Bayern Munich, nor a fan of Munich 1860, nor of Unterhachen, a small town team in the southern suburbs of Munich.
The team he likes is out of line, just like his personality and his unpopularity among his classmates.
He's a fan of Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, oh, and now that's a Bundesliga team.
Because he liked such an unknown team, he was ridiculed when he was at school. Lüttner Vocational Preparatory High School was not a good school in the first place, and the people who could go to school here were "poor students" who were not wanted by other schools, a group of young people with poor academic performance, self-defeating, and excessive energy. Football is a tool they can vent their experiences, some of them are fans of Munich 1860 and some of them are fans of Bayern Munich. Now Munich 1860 is always hovering in the Bundesliga, so the fans of the two factions are not at peace.
It's just that Abel is unlucky.
He had been liking Hoffenheim since last season, when he stumbled upon a TV footage of a Hoffenheim game and immediately fell in love with the attacking relentless team. Maybe it has something to do with his character, he is introverted and cowardly, but it's just a shell to protect himself, and deep down he still longs for himself to be braver, like Hoffenheim, who is a very weak team, but so brave in attack...... Later, he found out that this team is not necessarily weak, and the poor ranking in the league in the first half of the season does not speak for itself. In the second half of the season, the team began to move forward in the league, jumping to second place in the league and finally qualifying.
In fact, Abel was ridiculed by his classmates, not because of this school year, and everyone laughed at him because he liked a Bundesliga team so "unconventionally", and liked Hoffenheim just to find a new reason to laugh at him. From the beginning of his entry into this school with a bad reputation, he became a bag of anger for everyone to bully. Because he never resists, he is so cowardly that even girls hate him, and he doesn't feel like a man at all.
In last season's Bundesliga, Hoffenheim and Munich 1860 met for the first time, and Hoffenheim, who were still running in the lineup, met in their home stadium Dietma. The Hope Arena lost 0:3 to Munich 1860. The match brought him to the ridicule of the Munich 1860 fans, who ridiculed him as "a monster to be a man who likes a country team in Munich".
Later, in the second half of the season, the two sides met again, this time at the Allianz Arena, the home of Munich 1860, Hoffenheim defeated Munich 1860 1-0, avenging the first half of the season.
The Hoffenheim victory did not bring good luck to Abel, who was beaten up after the game by the school's group of ruffians who claimed to be fans of Munich 1860.
Abel didn't go to see the game because he didn't have a ticket. The conditions of the family are very ordinary, except that he has two younger sisters, and his mother takes them alone, so he really has no extra pocket money to let him go to the Allianz Arena to watch a game.
Despite being beaten, Abel was happy because his favorite team had won. It's just a pity that he can't go to the scene to cheer for this team. I've been just watching the team's games on the TV, and although I've liked them for most of the season, I haven't seen them live yet.
From that moment on, he wanted to watch Hoffenheim play live, whether at the Allianz Arena or at Hoffenheim's home stadium. For this plan, he needed money, money for travel and tickets. He didn't want to burden his mother, so he looked around for work this summer.
But his age is very embarrassing, he has not completed compulsory education, and his age is also up to standard, so there is no place to dare to use him. Germany's Child Labour Act specifically stipulates that young people between the ages of six and 14 must receive the most basic compulsory education before they can work in factories. The prohibition of the employment of 15-year-olds is stipulated by law, and the employer is legally liable if it is found. So no one dared to hire him.
Abel ran into a wall everywhere, and it looked like his plan to use the summer to do odd jobs to make money was about to run aground.
He strolls the streets alone, frowning and thinking about where he is going to make money.
In fact, he could have asked his mother for money directly, but he was unwilling to do so.
"Look! Who's that? Hey, little Abel! Why are you so sad? Who bullied you, my little Abel? ”
"Haha!"
A crowd of people laughed on the street corner.
"Little Abel" is definitely not an affectionate title, because Abel is short and looks two years younger than fourteen, so everyone calls him "Little Abel", which is a contemptuous title.
Abel looked up and saw a group of people playing football in a street corner clearing. Some of them wore Bayern Munich jerseys and were a group of young Bayern Munich fans. and he is in the same school, and he usually likes to bully him. But unlike the Munich 1860 fans at school, they don't do much, they just use words to laugh at this coward in their eyes.
Abel knew that these people were not to be messed with, so he pretended not to see them and walked over to the side with his head down. Unexpectedly, this group of people walked out of the clearing and stood in front of Abel.
"Hey, little Abel, have you read the newspaper that just came out today?" A fat man in the lead asked him condescendingly.
"I didn't ...... No. Abel replied with some trepidation. He went out to look for a job after breakfast, so how could he have time to read the newspaper?
"The village team you like recently bought someone, you know?"
Abel nodded. It was a Chinese worth 30 million euros, and he could hardly believe his eyes when the news first came out. He wasn't surprised that Hoffenheim was so rich, he had known that for a long time, he was just surprised that someone would be worth so much money? He didn't know anything about the first player to join the club, which is by far the highest transfer fee in the Bundesliga this summer...... "Guess what he said in his press conference yesterday? He said that in the future he would be better than Franz. Beckenbauer and Matthias. Samer is even stronger! The fat man said loudly, and then he and his companions laughed. It's the funniest joke I've ever heard! Aha! That small village team is really interesting, those who like them are cowards, and they spent 30 million to buy another braggart king! ”
"What do the Chinese understand? Do they really know how to play? What else can be better than Beckenbauer and Summer? ”
"It's wonderful, little Abel. This season, your village team has finally been promoted, and we can blow you up in the league! ”
"Wait and see, little Abel!"
A crowd surrounded Abel and laughed at him for a long time before they dispersed.
Abel didn't know what was going on. Instead of looking for a job, he went straight home and dug through today's newspaper to find out what had happened at yesterday's welcoming ceremony.
He saw the headline in the media: "I'll be stronger by them!" Below are pictures of Beckenbauer and Summer. Of course, there are also photos of Chu Zhongtian answering questions at the press conference.
Looking at these three photos, Abel was a little stunned.
It's crazy...... ※※※ In fact, the German media deliberately distorted Chu Zhongtian's words, he just said that his current self is not as good as Beckenbauer and Summer, which is a big truth...... At present, he is indeed inferior to Beckenbauer and Summer. As for whether there is such a possibility in the future, people always have to pursue a little, right? What's more, a good professional footballer must be ambitious. It's just that some people are less ambitious, and some people are more ambitious.
The German media is black because he dares to compare himself with the legends in the history of German football. It is worth noting that some Chinese media have also criticized Chu Zhongtian's remarks, thinking that Chu Zhongtian is not humble enough and too arrogant, and it must be that the value of 30 million euros makes him fluttering...... Originally, the transfer to Hoffenheim made some domestic media dissatisfied with Chu Zhongtian's choice, and now that he has this performance, he feels even more inappropriate.
Chu Zhongtian didn't have to pay attention to this kind of thing, and Yang Yang made his own move to make public opinion sound to defend Chu Zhongtian.
However, when talking to Emily on the phone, he learned that Emily's mother Miranda was very unhappy about her insistence on moving to Hoffenheim, believing that it was a self-depravity.
Chu Zhongtian only smiled bitterly. He knew that no matter how he explained it at this time, in the eyes of others, it was wrong for him to unexpectedly choose a promoted polo team, a foolish behavior, a self-depraved behavior, not wanting to forge ahead, just to pursue a high salary, but disregarding his personal image and career future.
There are a lot of hats that can be fastened to his head, and he will be wearing them for the rest of the season. He can't make mistakes, he can't get hurt, he has to always play at the highest level, not only for himself but also for the team to perform well, so that he can gag those people.
Fortunately, Emily was supportive. The turmoil over this transfer to Hoffenheim made him think about it.
Why does he like Emily so much? It's not that there are no other women around him who are also very good, why does he just like Emily and feel the most for Emily? Because Emily understands him and knows what he wants, this tacit understanding is very valuable. Emily is not only his lover, but also his confidante. For a man, if it is just a gentle and lovely woman who knows how to take care of him, it is not enough, it is better to be able to support him and understand him in his career.
For Chu Zhongtian, Emily is such a woman.
※※※ Chu Zhongtian didn't care about the media's evaluation of him, because he had more important things to do.
On July 1, there was a meeting with fans and the media, indicating that he had officially joined Hoffenheim. On July 2, he trained with the team.
Before training with the team, Rangnick had a very brief conversation with Chu Zhongtian alone.
Rangnick made his request to Chu Zhongtian.
"I'll give you more shooting drills in training, Chu. To be a real libero, your scoring ability is still too weak, you've only scored seventeen goals in four seasons in Metz, and I expect you to score that much in one season. I noticed that your shooting technique is fine, then the problem is in your thinking. Rangnick gestured to his temple.
Chu Zhongtian felt that he had met a very capable head coach, because he was the first to analyze himself. Yes, he didn't score fewer goals because he didn't shoot well, which he did at Wimbledon, but he got over that after four seasons of training at Metz. The reason he scores fewer goals now is that he has fewer shots, and the reason for the fewer shots is that he himself prefers to create chances for his team-mates with his passes rather than scoring by shooting himself.
"Yes, Mr. Coach...... I'm more interested in helping the team with my passes than shooting. Isn't that what you expect from me? ”
Rangnick shook his head: "Of course I want you to lead the team, but you don't have many shots. If you have a good chance, why not shoot yourself and have a lot of leeway to pass to your teammates? What do you do when your teammates are being targeted by an opponent and only you can score a goal? So I hope you can change that mentality in the game and score yourself if you have the right chance. Beckenbauer and Summerer are both good scorers. ”
"So you need to practice your shots, not just to improve your shooting skills, but more importantly to develop your shooting habits."
Chu Zhongtian followed the advice of head coach Rangnick.
But first he had to meet his team-mates, and Rangnick had promised to wear the team's captain's armband, and it seemed that he really trusted and liked him.
As the future captain and core, he must be familiar with his teammates to be able to better cooperate with them on the court.
In fact, Hoffenheim's teammates also know who is coming.
Because in the past few days, the local media in Sinsheim have continued to pay attention to Chu Zhongtian, a player who has set a record for the transfer value of this season's Bundesliga. In an interview with reporters, Rangnick talked about his thoughts, and he made it clear that Chu Zhongtian is the core player of the team, and Hoffenheim's tactics will be formulated around him.
However, they have a bit of a "only hear their voices and don't see their people".
Because the team only started training on July 2, they could only see the new teammate in the newspapers and on TV before that. Judging by his statement at the press conference, it seems that he is a very arrogant person.
The German media is to blame...... Chu Zhongtian's arrival had the biggest impact on one person, and that person was the biggest contributor to Hoffenheim's promotion success last season, Salihovic. Hoffenheim arrived in the team when he was still in the southern German regional league and quickly became a key player. In the second division, almost all of the team's offensive organization comes from him.
Now that he has parachuted into a Chu Zhongtian, he has to give up his position as the core, and he still doesn't know if he will completely lose his main position. Because I heard that Chu Zhongtian can play with his back waist and front waist.
Who brought Hoffenheim to the first division? Who is the biggest contributor to the upgrade? Who is the favourite among Hoffenheim fans?
It's him, Sayyad. Salihovich (sejad_salihovic).
He could not accept the club's arrangement, and when the club announced that they had paid 30 million for a player with the same role as him, he had a strong sense of crisis. At one point, he even thought about a move to leave the club. But because of the deep relationship he has accumulated with the team in the past two seasons, he still did not express the idea of leaving in the end.
Now, he intends to face the challenge. Stay and see how many brushes this "Mr. 30 million" has. If the manager says you're the core, do you have to be the core? When you're not doing well, see who's the best person to lead the team!
On July 2, he and his teammates met the "legendary" player.
Chu Zhongtian, who is worth 30 million euros, appeared in front of his teammates for the first time.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chu Zhongtian, you can call me Chu, I'm used to this kind of title." Chu Zhongtian was in the locker room, greeting his new teammates in fluent German. has had the experience of facing an unfamiliar environment alone in Mace, and after this time the language is not a problem, Chu Zhongtian behaves freely.
Originally, everyone was worried that the players they trusted could not speak the language and could not communicate with them. Now facing a Chu Zhongtian who speaks fluent German, everyone is even surprised.
Seeing the surprise and confusion of his teammates, Chu Zhongtian explained: "I used to play in Metz, which is a French city close to Germany, so I can speak German. ”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
"It's been a pleasure to meet you guys and I hope we have a great time working together. Let's forget about how much I'm worth. Winning on the pitch is about your feet, not your value. ”
Chu Zhongtian was unexpectedly easy to contact and cheerful for Hoffenheim players. Not a gloomy Chinese who does not understand and speak German, as they imagined. But not everyone wants to think on the bright side. If Chu Zhongtian is silent, then it means that he is gloomy and unsuitable to lead the team. If Chu Zhongtian is cheerful and talkative, then he is a "orator" who likes to show off himself and talk exaggeratedly, this kind of person will only show himself, and he doesn't care about the team's life or death, and such a person is even more unlikely to lead the team.
In the locker room, the Hoffenheim team has been faintly divided into two sides according to their first impression of Chu Zhongtian. Some of them felt that Chu Zhongtian was a very good teammate to contact, and believed that they could spend four years together in a friendly way. Others think that Chu Zhongtian's high-minded appearance is unpleasant, let's see what the media said about him before. "Hoffenheim's new core!" So what about our Salihovich? Who brought this team to the first division? How can a club do this to a loyal hero?
After Chu Zhongtian finished introducing himself, he looked at his teammates in front of him. Some people smiled kindly at him, and Chu Zhongtian also responded with a smile. Others looked at him with hostility, but he still smiled at him. Others lowered their heads and whispered, not knowing what they were muttering.
While keeping a smile, Chu Zhongtian thought to himself: It seems that to become the actual core of this team, let them trust me, and lead them to victory is really not a task that can be completed with lip service...... When I came to Hoffenheim myself, I didn't have time to challenge a strong opponent, but I had to challenge another kind of authority that had been formed in the dressing room.
Chu Zhongtian is not afraid of such challenges, because he regards them as fun. He's not going to ask the manager for help, that's cowardly.
He knew that if Hoffenheim was to truly accept him, to conquer this group of young and energetic teammates, and to make his career glorious at Hoffenheim, this first step must be taken right now. A player who can't get along with his teammates at peace is never going to be the heart of the game. The reason why he feels like a fish in water at Metz is because he and his teammates trust each other and understand each other.
In Hoffenheim, in this unfamiliar environment, everything had to be restarted.
"Hello, 'Mr. Thirty Million', I have a question." One of his teammates raised his hand.
The people who showed favor to Chu Zhongtian, those who were hostile to Chu Zhongtian, and the people who whispered all turned their eyes to this person who raised his hand.
It is the "original core" of their team, Salihovic.
'I've heard you've won the UEFA Cup in Metz and there are a lot of teams interested in you, so why did you choose us?' Salihovic's words were also a question for the rest of his teammates. 'You can go to the big teams that are better than us, like ...... Bayern Munich? ”
Not to mention that the media and fans can't understand it, it seems that even Hoffenheim himself can't understand why Chu Zhongtian made such a choice.
These days, Chu Zhongtian has been asked such a question, he can say to the media and fans, "because Hoffenheim is more suitable for me", but he can no longer use this reason to answer these teammates.
Chu Zhongtian knew that the person in front of him was Salihovic, and his question had some provocative meaning in it, and Chu Zhongtian heard the hostility from his first sentence, as if the old lion king who was defending his territory had met a new challenger.
Since the other party has issued a challenge, he can't afford not to fight.
Still smiling, he replied, "The reason is simple, because I want to create a big scene with you." It's much better than going to a wealthy club and enjoying it. ”
