Chapter 52: Average Height
"New Year's party performances?"
"yes, we don't want to, but we can't help it, they're too enthusiastic!" Wang Dan sighed in a long tone, but an excited expression ran out of the corners of his eyebrows.
"And what are you going to perform?" You Mo suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"No idea, there are two weeks left, you have to hurry up and set the show within this week, do you want to participate?" Wang Dan's eyes rolled, and his tone was tactful.
"I'm a spectator, can you agree?" You Mo had a bitter look on his face.
"A good opportunity to be in the limelight, your baby actually wants to hide back?" Lu Wei's voice came out of the room, and people followed.
"You see, there is a cloud in the family law: those who are in the limelight will be punished as coolies for a week" You Mo seemed to grasp the life-saving straw and began to bitterly state the benefits.
"It's different!" Teacher Wang categorically rejected it and began to attend classes, "We are still very popular in school, and even many people have a much better impression of our country. This kind of performance is to represent the image of the country, and how can it be the same as the personal limelight?"
As soon as the big hat was buttoned, You Mo suddenly had nothing to say. He was still a little unwilling, so he could only shout to Steward Lan in the kitchen for help.
"Butler, look at this."
Jiang Xiaolan's voice was as helpless as his: "I can't help it, Sister Dan just symbolically refused, and then ran to encourage me." ”
"Well, then I'll say yes to you!" Wang Dan obviously had already made up his mind, and analyzed the situation unhurriedly at the moment: "Foreigners are not as strict and serious as they are in China when they engage in this kind of party. Of course, if we represent the image of the country, we can't be too casual. If it's not a unique job, don't go up and show off. Let's talk about it. What will you two do? ”
"Cook." "Kick the ball."
"Uh" Teacher Wang was suddenly stuck, so he could only lower his requirements: "It's a unique job, it's true that you haven't practiced for many years." Then change it, what are the specialties? ”
"Listen to music." "Love to play football."
"Two pigs' heads! I'm not asking you about your hobbies! Teacher Wang reached out and tapped on the table. stopped Lu Wei's snickering with a stern look.
"Teacher Wang, don't just ask us. You are the leader, let's talk about yourself first! Yu Mo sensed the anger burning in the air, and quickly brought the topic back to the right path.
"That's it, there is only one show, Sister Dan, you are the protagonist, we will cooperate with you, why is it so complicated?"
Jiang Xiaolan took off her apron and sat on the armrest of the sofa. I looked helplessly at the paper full of writing on the table.
"There's a lot of talent, so I'm going to take care of you!" Teacher Wang was not low-key and continued to knock on the table. "Cross talk, sketches, singing, dancing, stage plays, alas, if it weren't for the height difference. I'm a literary soldier. ”
"Let's sing!" The two attendants decisively chose the easiest.
"It's too late to learn German songs, what English songs do you know?" Mr. Wang is not surprised. Keep asking.
“Lovestory”“Yesterdayoncemore”
"No, you're such a big boy, what kind of nostalgic songs are you singing!" Teacher Wang looked dissatisfied.
"It's better to remember the lyrics." Yu Mo told the truth.
"Hum a couple of words!" The two women spoke at the same time
"Isn't it! Sister Dan, there is a big difference between Momo singing and talking! ”
"Well, the bass is really good. Well, defeated by you guys. You two sing lovestory together. I'm ready to dance. ”
"Are you willing?" Lu Wei, who had not spoken for a long time, came out.
"One loves to be in the limelight, the other loves to talk coolly, I can't live this day!"
"Hurry up and call Zheng Zhi, pick up this lazy thing, and don't send it back!"
――――
The last game before the winter break. It's Friedel's farewell match, and it's going to start tomorrow. While the atmosphere may be a little different, the outcome is still far-reaching.
In the last game, this team exposed a lot of problems. So, after analyzing the possibility of a new coach, the media also turned their attention to the team itself, discussing the existing lineup.
As Sheri got older, his competitive form began to decline, and he seemed a little unable to support the bridgehead of a team alone. There is not much difference between Kuka and his height and weight, but the difference in style is huge, and he still can't completely replace his place at the moment.
The problem of midfield organization is bigger than the problem of strikers. With Lu Wei's current age and physical condition, it is difficult for some strong people to ask him to complete the important task of organizing the organization alone in a high-level confrontation. If you can't give him enough help, the team's midfield organization will always have problems.
However, there are also optimistic ones.
Otto the Great has been in the rivers and lakes for 20 years, and the peach and plum are all over the world, if he is really willing to go out of the mountain, he will definitely not come alone. When the time comes, it is reasonable to raise your arms and pull a few henchmen over.
After this view was unanimously agreed, Kaiserslautern fans began to petition en masse, expressing their desire in every way imaginable.
It may be an exaggeration to say that it is "kneeling and begging", but the enthusiastic messages, the arguments that are reasonable or out of tune, the videos of Mao Sui's self-recommendation, and the articles that demean Friedel and praise Otto the Great still fully reflect their urgent mood.
These remarks made Friedel's heart chill, and the old guys had mixed feelings.
If I no longer get their approval, will I end up like this?
Otto the Great has always been low-key, and at this time there is no one to be found, except for the tight-spoken club president Kuntz, the others are still not sure of the truth of the matter.
Unable to find Rehhagel, Kuntz became the target of public criticism. However, he rejected it more often, and the reporters figured it out from his smile.
Probably, he wanted to give Friedel a decent way to leave.
――――
Leave with dignity.
There's nothing better than a victory to say goodbye.
Everybody understands that. But there are some things, the more you think about it, the worse you can't do it.
The so-called farewell game, the first half has been played, and the score of 0:0 is still thunderous.
their opponents. The small-town club Fürth, nicknamed "Clover Alfalfa", is ranked only 12th. They don't have any big players, and their away record is always terrible. From any point of view, Kaiserslautern should not be embarrassed away from home.
But the reality is like this, in the face of impetuous opponents, they have long been prepared to spread out layer by layer. In the middle and back of the troops, only a single arrow is left in front of them waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack. Such a simple counterattack tactic made the Kaiserslautern team, with an average age of 27, lacking enough strength to break the goal.
Friedel, who was greeted and hugged by the old guys before the game, now has the same face as this day, gloomy and gloomy, and there may be rain and snow.
The locker room was quiet, and the slightest cough would be abrupt.
What to say?
Take the initiative to tell their boss: We tried our best, but we can only play like this. I'm sorry?
Or: It's not that we want to drive you away, it's that you're limited in what you can do?
Even: It's not your fault, providence tricks?
Forget it, you have to go, let's think of more ways to let him go decently.
Friedel broke the silence with a slight cough.
"Hey, I said. I can understand your feelings, guys. Again, I emphasize: this game. It's not for me, you don't have to think about my feelings. However, at home, in front of the already disappointed fans, they were blocked by weak alfalfa, no matter what. is unacceptable. There will be no personnel adjustments in the second half for the time being, and I hope everyone will continue to work hard. ”
Push the door and go out.
It's just that the steps are a little anxious, and the legs and feet may be a little weak, when stepping out of the door. He staggered.
This time, it's different. The manager left, and the talk was still silent.
The atmosphere of silence took root, and it did not move.
The old guys are strong and assertive, and they often flaunt themselves as German men who are "not dependent on anyone".
In the past, the big-name players on the team, one by one, came and went, walked and came, and did not regard this place as their home, nor did they regard themselves as family. Of course, they will not be treated with the most sincerity, let alone expected and relied on.
Friedel's attitude hooked the most sincere feelings in their hearts. If he was furious and thought they were doing something against him, they would simply break the jar and let him go. But it is this kind reminder and the concern of letting go of their own situation that makes them unable to give up, and even a little self-blame.
What's wrong today, such an opponent can't take it!
――――
You Mo and Lu Wei did not sit on the bench as if no one was reading the game as before.
Everyone was aware of the sad atmosphere in the team, and although they had no feelings for Friedel, they were still silent at this time, which was considered a sign of respect.
It wasn't until the main players entered the locker room, and the two stood in the middle of the field and passed the ball without one foot, that the silence was finally broken.
"The opponent seems to be quite prepared." You Mo rarely untied the restraints on his legs, and his feet were slightly itchy.
As he gained weight, the 4 kg sandbags he had tied at the beginning began to gradually decrease, and after coming to Germany, he had reduced it to 2 kg. Football games, moderate strength is the best, the strength in the confrontation is higher, but not the higher the better, the reasonableness and suddenness of the action, the speed and completeness of the completion of the action, are much greater than the simple force effect.
The high weight at the beginning was only because in the game of the junior team, the role of ball sense is much greater than the role of power. Before lowering the weight, he was trying to see if after two and a half years of practice, the strength far beyond his peers could be perfectly controlled by himself.
Now that he has put down his burden, he doesn't know what he's for.
Perhaps, just to say goodbye to the past.
'The signal from the last game was so obvious that the opposing manager could guess our starting line-up. Do you think it's hard to prevent? Lu Wei was not very satisfied with the slow reaction of the goods, and his voice was lazy.
"That's still the same way, as soon as you play in the second half, there will be someone to serve you?" You Mo is actually in no mood to chat, he is just bored at this time.
"The old guys have a problem with their mentality as well. Remember the quarterfinals of the World Junior Championships? ”
"Of course."
"Because you got into trouble by picking up girls, the friends were more and more active than the other, but the pit got bigger and bigger, and it almost buried you directly."
"yes, Friedel is about to be buried, too. Is there a way? ”
"It depends, I don't know what kind of guy will be to defend me."
"Well, it seems that your appearance is going to directly lower the average height of the league." (To be continued......)
