(The second shift asks for a monthly pass, and the third shift may be a little later, around 11 o'clock.) ）

A week before the final, Peng Xiaolang of Hertha Berlin called Li Huan, saying that during the game, he called on the Chinese fans in Berlin and Hertha Berlin fans to cheer him on the spot, and if Li Huan had time, he would take Li Huan to Berlin to have a good walk around and see the famous attractions mentioned in history textbooks such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Wall, and the Reichstag. On the day Hoffenheim set off for Hertha Berlin, Peng Xiaolang called Li Huan again and asked Li Huan if he had time after arriving in Berlin, Shao Jia also came to Berlin, if he had time, he would drive Li Huan around, and enjoy the nightlife together at Potsdamer Platz in the evening. Because if Hoffenheim wins the championship, Li Huan is afraid that he will not have time to stay in Berlin, and he should go back to celebrate with the fans, Peng Xiaolang said that he feels that Hoffenheim is more likely to win the championship.

Li Huan is very grateful to Peng Xiaolang for his enthusiasm, but now he doesn't dare to say if he can find time, after all, tomorrow is the finals, and generally domestic coaches prohibit players from going out without permission, so as not to have trouble. But what Li Huan didn't expect was that after coming to Berlin to check in to the hotel, Rangnick didn't prohibit the players from going out, but just asked the players to come back before 12 o'clock, so as not to affect the finals that they understood, if anyone dared to come back one minute late, they would go to the table to watch the finals tomorrow. Li Huan asked Salihovich, who had stayed in Hertha Berlin, to know that Berlin's security is well-known in Europe, and as long as he does not touch a very small number of neo-Nazis in bald riding boots, there will be no problems.

Li Huan has almost played all over South Germany and West Germany in the past two years, but rarely comes to the areas near East Germany, Li Huan refused the invitation of Eduardo and a few people, called Peng Xiaolang and asked him to drive to pick him up, less than half an hour, Peng Xiaolang and Shao Jia drove an Audi to the hotel where Hoffenheim was, the three of them simply greeted each other, Peng Xiaolang drove Li Huan in Berlin for a simple turn, Berlin is not big, not even half of Shanghai, because Berlin traffic is very convenient, most residents do not drive private cars, Either to do the subway or take the tram, the environment is very quiet, the sky is blue and transparent, because the time is short, Peng Xiaolang just took Li Huan to browse, but the Berlin Wall still left a deep impression on Li Huan, because he not only saw cartoon graffiti full of peculiar imagination there, but also saw advertisements such as '135xxxxxxx' written in Chinese characters. Because tomorrow is the final of the German Cup, the atmosphere of the game is already very strong, and it is common to see Stuttgart fans in white jerseys, flags and scarves on the streets, but Hoffenheim fans hardly see them.

Crossing Linden Street to Potsdamer Platz, the time was exactly more than nine o'clock in the evening, the nightlife of Berlin just kicked off, the three of them found a bar to sit down, Li Huan said: "Xiaolang, your time is too accurate, it's just the level of a tour guide." ”

Peng Xiaolang poured wine for Li Huan and Shao Jia in accordance with Chinese rules, and said with a wry smile: "There is no way, unlike Brother Li, you have become a big star in less than two years, with an annual salary of 2 million, Brother Shao also went to play in the Bundesliga, I am a waste material, and now I am still in the youth team of Hertha Berlin, in order to make a little more money, I occasionally take Chinese tourists to travel in Berlin City." ”

Peng Xiaolang is indeed a bit miserable, and it is because of this that Li Huan did not come to Berlin to play, so as not to make him feel emotional, Shao Jia took over and said: "I am also a substitute in the Bundesliga, much worse than Li Huan, and his annual salary is also at the level of the middle and upper reaches of the Bundesliga." However, Li Huan is also worthy of this annual salary, without Li Huan this year, why would a team like Hoffenheim play in the Bundesliga and reach the final of the German Cup. ”

Li Huan smiled and said: "Brother Shao, don't say that, Hoffenheim has a lot of powerful players, but they don't have much fame, and I can't rely on myself." ”

Peng Xiaolang said: "Brother Li is so modest, in fact, who doesn't know that this is your credit, otherwise your club can let you get almost the same salary as Coach Rangnick." ”

Shao Jia said: "Xiao Lang is right, you really fight for the Chinese, even the small place in Ketbus where I am knows the name of Xiao Li Feidao, my brother I also follow the light, the fans dare not say anything to despise Chinese players when they see me." ”

Peng Xiaolang said: "Speaking of Brother Li's free kick, it is really a god, there is no false hair, I really doubt that Brother Li is possessed by Li Xunhuan written by Gu Long." If I had this skill, I would have slapped the table with the manager of Hertha Berlin right away. ”

Li Huan drank his beer slowly and said, "You two are killing me, I doubt that you are from Stuttgart undercover." ”

Peng Xiaolang and Shao Jia laughed, Shao Jia said: "Speaking of tomorrow's finals, your chances of winning are really not big, Stuttgart finally won eight consecutive victories, morale is high, and you have experience in playing finals, your players are too tender." ”

Li Huan smiled: "Don't be afraid, anyway, we have a longer rest time than them, and we use our physical strength to drag them to death in the game, and if we don't drag them to death, let them go to a layer of skin." ”

Shao Jia said: "This is your biggest advantage, we have played against Stuttgart in the league, they are also attacking style of play, and the physical requirements are also very high, as long as you can not let them score first, the two sides play a war of attrition, maybe you can really create a miracle." ”

Li Huan said: "Well, this is also the idea of our coach. Also Stuttgart have been inconsistent and we hope they will be a little worse tomorrow. ”

The three of them chatted while drinking, after three rounds of drinking, and the wine was hot, Shao Jia suddenly said: "Li Huan, my brother is two years older than you, ask a question that shouldn't be asked, do you want to join the German team?" ”

Li Huan was stunned and said, "Brother Shao, no, I haven't thought about it." ”

Shao Jia said unhappily: "Li Huan, I'm not a person who likes to tell right and wrong, why are you so strict, I don't want to participate in the German team, why do you refuse to participate in the Chinese team?" Also looking for a girlfriend in Germany. ”

Li Huan was not only surprised by the associative ability of the Chinese, and said: "To be honest, Brother Shao, Xiaolang, I really don't have the idea of participating in the German team, but the Chinese team is such a mess, who can change it when they go in, don't ask anything, just play football, but the gang of uncles of the Football Association don't understand but point fingers at training all day, who can stand it, and I can't adapt to that set of [***] parental management methods, tell you, if I really go in, I guarantee that I will be kicked out of the national team in less than three days." ”

Shao Jia and Peng Xiaolang couldn't help but ask in unison: "Don't you plan to join the national team in your life?" ”

Li Huan said lightly: "Look, not necessarily, maybe one day the coach and the officials of the Football Association let me look at it, so I will go in and kick a few feet." ”

"I said." Peng Xiaolang couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "Brother Li, I'm convinced, what is a surname, you are called a surname, those guys with long hair and tattoos on their bodies are compared to Brother Li, they are a group of naïve children." ”

Shao Jia is much older, and the issues he considers are naturally different from Peng Xiaolang, and said: "Li Huan, Huanzi, if you don't see anything else, I'll call you like this, you are very happy and chic, but have you thought about it, what kind of regret is it for a professional player to not be able to play in the World Cup, especially a player like you, I dare to say that in China it is one in fifty years, if you don't play the World Cup, you are an ordinary star, and playing the World Cup can completely improve your status in football history to a higher level." Do you remember Redondo, who had an awkward relationship with Passarella because of his hair problems, and he also lamented to his friends in private that his hair can grow back after cutting, but there will be no more in the past World Cup. Huanzi, you are not young, you are 24 this year, when you reach the World Cup in South Africa, you will be 27 years old, just the year, if you miss it, your peak period in the next World Cup will pass. You think about it and don't regret it for the rest of your life for the sake of momentary pleasure. ”

Li Huan had his own ideas, but after listening to Shao Jia's earnestness, he said, "Thank you, Brother Shao, I will consider it seriously." ”

Shao Jia is not jealous of this rising star, but his jealousy is not too strong, people are not bad, what he just said is indeed good for Li Huan, but seeing what Li Huan said insincerely, he said helplessly: "Well, you have to make your own decisions about this matter, we can't drink too much wine today, tomorrow we still expect you to fight for us Chinese, if you can lead Hoffenheim to win the championship, it will be the first person of our Chinese players." ”

Li Huan said: "Where can I be regarded as the first person, Sun Xiang has won the league championship in the Eredivisie." ”

Shao Jia said disdainfully: "What kind of champion is he, but he has played a few games as a substitute." You ask him to admit it. You won the championship as a core player, many people say that Hoffenheim is your team alone, but as a defender you won two top scorers, grandma's, your brother and I can't be jealous, the gap is too big. ”

Li Huan smiled and said: "Brother Shao has really won the prize, I will work hard tomorrow, and I will go home with a championship, it's too embarrassing not to win a championship for two years." ”

Peng Xiaolang said: "The double champion, and the German second champion." ”

Li Huan looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock, and said, "Can you still mention that champion?" Okay, that's all for today, thank you Xiaolang for being the east, thank you Brother Shao for your kind words, if you can't win the championship, let's continue to drink after the game, if you win the championship, let's contact you after returning home. ”

"Good! That's it. ”

The three of them left the bar, and Peng Xiaolang drove Li Huan back to the hotel where Hoffenheim was staying before going back with Shao Jia, Shao Jia temporarily stayed at Peng Xiaolang's house, and after they watched the German Cup, they returned to China together.
