Chapter 18: Psychological Warfare (1)
(Asking for a monthly pass, subscribing, never on the new book monthly ticket list, brothers support, I desperately code the word impact once)
The players put their cards away and looked out of the car with their heads on their stomachs, and they saw what looked like a trade bazaar, with red and gray triangular roofs and blue and white flags hanging on the streets. On the wooden notice board on the right side of the road, the words "Welcome to Hoffenheim" are prominently printed.
Li Huan let out a deep sigh, he finally saw the legendary Hoffenheim, it turned out to be such a comfortable town, it was really not big, but it was very exquisite, simple and historical. Now the town is still in obscurity in a valley in Germany, and in two years it will be attracting the attention of the whole world.
In such a small village of about 3,000 people, the players in Karlsruhe could not have imagined that there would be fans and journalists to welcome them, but when they walked into Dietma. At Hope Stadium, there were still more than a dozen fans and 14 reporters who came over, 11 of these eight reporters were sent by the media in Karlsruhe, only 3 were reporters belonging to Hoffenheim's "Rhein-Neckar", and 5 of the 11 reporters were also entertainment reporters, who came specifically for Li Huan, because Wana's hometown was in Sinsheim, and these entertainment reporters thought that Wana was very likely to come to Hoffenheim to watch Li Huan's game. Such a deserted scene suddenly reminded Li Huan of the scene where they played an amateur league in the island city, but it seems that there are many more fans in the amateur game than in this official game.
The pitch is very small, as Eichner said, the stands are almost next to the pitch, and the players can even talk to their friends and relatives in the stands when they play, especially the goalkeeper of the strong team, if he is a pervert, it should not be a problem to have a female fan in the 90 minutes of the game. However, although the Sparrow is small, the stadium built in 1999 is very complete.
The club's athletic department official came over, and his Karlsruhe team entered the stadium, and under his arrangement, Karlsruhe began to train for the adaptation surname, went to a central hotel in the village at noon to rest, and started the first round of the German Cup in the afternoon.
There were more fans in the stands when adapting to the training, and the players in Karlsruhe knew from the comments of the fans that they were the protagonists of the scandal and forced Bayern's new foreign player Li Huan to draw. One of the young fans in the blue and white Hoffenheim jersey caught the attention of the Karlsruhe players, who were arguing loudly with his companions in the stands, and his voice was clearly audible.
"Is that Chinese your brother-in-law?" Looks handsome. Baum said that he was the Hoffenheim goalkeeper, but he was not in the starting line-up today.
"Fart." Strel said angrily, he also read the entertainment version of the news report, he still found it difficult to accept that his sister made friends with this Chinese for a while, just like a horse in the herd, the herd of cattle naturally has some doubts and resistance, but there is also some curiosity, "You also believe the reporter's rumors, your IQ is too low, I'm afraid that even my jersey number can't be exceeded." ”
Strelf is a supernumerary at Hoffenheim and his shirt number is self-chosen, number 66.
Baum said humbly: "Stref, what is IQ?" ”
"You uneducated guy, think about it with your pig brain, my sister is a big star, he may not be able to play the main force in Karlsruhe, and besides, he has only been in Germany for a few days, will my sister fall in love with him?"
"Strelve, I seem to remember you saying that love is sudden, friendship is accumulative." Baum said.
Stref was stunned by Baum's tactics of returning the human body to others, rolled his eyes, and said, "Have I ever said such a thing?" Even if I say it, Baum, love is sudden and not fake, but it also needs to be slowly accumulated later, and this Chinese and we do not understand the language and cannot complete this accumulation. ”
"Don't you like him as a Chinese? You said his free-kick was fantastic that day. ”
"Stupid, just because I like his skills doesn't mean I like him as my brother-in-law."
The players on the pitch in Karlsruhe almost all heard the two little guys talking, and the players laughed uncontrollably. Federico said, "Lee, you've met a relative. ”
Corvo sneered: "Some people's scandals have spread to this small village. ”
But Li Huan didn't feel embarrassed, he still looked like he was smiling, and said: "When did a lone man and woman eat and drink a glass of wine become a scandal, this year is really fucking weird, a man's charm has become a shortcoming, a man can't be idle, he will become a resentful woman if he is idle for too long." ”
Kovo was sarcastically red by Li Huan, but he did not dare to attack, not to say that he could not fight, if the head coach knew, he would be finished, Becker has already said that the troublemaker, the main force becomes a substitute, substitute back to the second team, this Chinese sitting on the bench still has a chance to play, and he is beaten back to the second team.
Captain Stoll said: "Don't joke about Lee's private life in the future, he is actually stricter than you." ”
Coax, all the players laughed, this guy who usually hangs his shoulders, sits and doesn't sit and stand, is actually considered stricter than them by the captain, is there anything more ridiculous than this.
Stoll looked at everyone coldly: "Don't laugh, you have seen Li Huan go to the Borus Bar." ”
Everyone immediately stopped laughing, Li Huan did often go to the bar disco nightclub, but he had never been to this bar that was famous for trading his surname, and a few of them had not been there secretly.
Li Huan shrugged and smiled, and said: "Actually, I am also envious to death, mainly because I have no money, I owe a lot of debts when I came to Germany, and now I eat white rice and gnaw sausages at home every day, and I am also called by the creditor to collect debts." ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, and laughed again, even Stoll couldn't help but smile, but Hoss not far away praised Li, this young Chinese is really too smart, captain Stoll spoke for him Although he was protecting him, but there was a possibility of separating him from his teammates, and this young man actually pulled himself and his teammates together with an understatement, quite a bit of a lightweight leader.
After an hour of acclimatization, the players arrived at a tavern in the Hoffenheim Centre, the largest tavern in Hoffenheim and the most popular among the players and villagers, not only for its kebabs and pizzas, but also because it was formerly the birthplace of Hoffenheim's owner, Mr. Hope.
The tavern has a rustic feel, with open oak doors covered with memoranda written on colourful letterhead, on which young players such as Martins and Federico are smiling and writing their names and opinions about the place. Seeing that Li Huan was just smiling, Federico said, "Li, you can also write a few sentences." ”
Li Huan smiled: "I can only speak German and can't write." ”
Martins handed the dipping pen to Li Huan and said, "Write in your own language." ”
Li Huan took the pen, thought about it, and wrote 'to!' See! Victory! Li Huan', five Chinese characters and three exclamation marks, Li Huan was a football star in his previous life, when a signature company in Yanjing designed a signature for him, he deliberately practiced calligraphy for a period of time, and the five Chinese characters were written in a very elegant manner, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, elegant and dusty, in the era of computer popularization and Chinese characters are not well written, even in the era of fooling the layman in China, it is certainly no problem, Federico and other German players who do not know Chinese calligraphy can't help but exclaim: "Li, are you painting?" ”
Li Huan smiled slightly and said, "No, this is Chinese calligraphy." ”
Martins couldn't stop holding the signed piece of paper and said, "Awesome, like a painting." What do you write? ”
Li Huan said vaguely: "Just write a name." ”
No one in the team who knew Chinese doubted the hidden moisture in Li Huan's words.
At noon, the head coaches of both sides, Becker and Flick, attended the regular pre-match press conference, and a pair of old enemies finally met again after two years, and when they shook hands with each other, the two managers did not hide the hostility in their eyes, as two teams only 70 kilometers apart, it is difficult for one mountain and two tigers to get along peacefully, unless one male and one female.
The reporters from outside Sinsheim were stunned when they came to the press conference hall, because the place was too small, and there were four chairs on the rostrum, which could barely sit on it, but there were only 12 chairs in the press gallery, and today because there were a few more entertainment notes, so that there were not enough chairs to sit, and the two reporters of the "Rheinneckar" in Sinsheim stood very awkwardly and let the reporters from other cities sit, until the more embarrassed press officer moved two stools.
The first to speak was the head coach of the visiting team, Becker, who did not show the impatience or caution that was once the defeat of Flick's men, the game has started since the draw, and the press conference is also a battlefield, a psychological decisive battle, and the above two gestures will allow the opponent to see his emotions, and then adjust the tactical arrangement. Becker has to put on a strong demeanor in the higher league against the lower league, what if he loses once, what if he loses 4-0, Flick spent five years still in the third division amateur league. Becker cleared his throat and said, "I feel very kind when I come back to Hoffenheim after two years, everything is still the same......
Becker's first sentence made the reporters at the scene make a burst of discussion, and Flick's face changed slightly, because if a friend said such a thing, this is a very kind word, which can make Flick hug him, but as an opponent, such words have other meanings and ulterior motives, it is obviously a satire that Flick has not achieved anything in two years with the strong support of the boss, and this is also the deepest pain in Flick's heart.
Seeing his old opponent's facial muscles twitch and his hands pressed tightly on the table, Becker's mood suddenly improved, although he walked into Hoffenheim as a loser, but he now succeeded in making his opponent fall into a losing mood. Now, he has to add another fire to make his opponents even more excited, because the Germans, who are good at strategy, have always regarded football games as war, which is why the Bern miracle of 1954 happened.
