All new Hoffenheim players will quickly realise that captain Chu Zhongtian has as much power as a coach in this team, but he never abuses that power. Originally www.biquge.info, they thought that the captain with all kinds of privileges must be the kind of person who was difficult to get along with, but in fact, Chu Zhongtian was very kind and gentle. Outside of training, he's mostly smiling. Only in training and in games will he look serious.

For new players, adapting to the team can be a hassle and something they have to deal with. The German players are all good to speak and speak the same language. As long as the language is spoken, there is no problem.

However, none of the five new players bought this season are Germans, and they don't know German.

After the study and decision of the team committee, Gago was handed over to Metzelde, although Zucurini is also Argentine, but until now he can't speak German, and he needs help from others, let alone help others integrate into the team. The remaining four were assigned to four different veteran players and integrated them into the team.

Srna is a Croatian international, and his leader in the team is also a Croatian. Veteran defender Simunic is a Croatia international and he has a decent relationship with Srna, so it is only fitting that he will integrate Srna into the team.

Nigerian international Nyema also has a team-mate in the Hoffenheim squad - Obasi. Just looking at the name, you will always think that Obasi is Brazilian, but in fact he is not, he is a Nigerian international. With this relationship, Enyema naturally handed it over to Obasi.

The principle of arranging the person is to give priority to the same nationality, followed by language, and to consider the relationship between the two people. If you have any old grudges before, forget it...... Hlosek, a Czech, speaks only Czech and Slovak. Neither of these languages was understood in the team, so someone closer to him had to be in charge, and Salihovic volunteered to take over Hlosek.

Quaresma is Portuguese, which would have been a good arrangement because Hoffenheim had a lot of Brazilian players in the team, and both Brazilians and Portuguese speak Portuguese and speak the same language, so it's no problem.

But this season all the Brazilian players left the team, with Eduardo moving to Rubin Kazan, Wellington on loan at FC Twente, and Gustavo moving away the previous season. Now there is no one in the team who can speak Portuguese...... Quaresma speaks Portuguese and Spanish, and only a little bit of Italian. One of those who speak Spanish in Hoffenheim can also be found before, and that is the goalkeeper Hildebrand, who once went to Spain for a season and a half. But now he has also left and gone to Sporting Lisbon, where Quaresma made his debut. As for Vanney, Metzelde...... Metzelder was in charge of Gago, while Ruud van Nistelrooy was in charge of Zuculini, and no one was concerned about Quaresma.

It was Chu Zhongtian who raised his hand: "I'll come." ”

Everyone turned their attention to him: "Do you know Portuguese or Spanish?" ”

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I only know English, French, German, and of course, Chinese." I can learn Portuguese though. ”

Everyone was even more surprised: "Learn? Are you crazy, Chu? If you can learn, all of us can learn Portuguese and then take him, but what's the point? When will you learn? ”

Chu Zhongtian smiled: "I think it should take less than three months, right?" ”

He is confident in his linguistic talents.

"Okay, so how do you communicate with him before you learn it?" Salihovich asked.

"English." Chu Zhongtian spread his hands and said, "He was loaned to Chelsea in the second half of last season, and he can always understand some English, right?" ”

Since Chu Zhongtian insisted, and the others couldn't find a more suitable replacement, then Quaresma would belong to Chu Zhongtian.

That night, Chu Zhongtian called Mathilde to find him a Portuguese teacher, and this time he added a special request - male only. He didn't want to play with his language teacher anymore. Men who are already married, they must be restrained. He didn't want Emily to misunderstand anything, what didn't have in the first place, but when he misunderstood, he made something that he didn't have.

Before learning Portuguese, Chu Zhongtian couldn't just throw away Quaresma, and when he learned Portuguese, he would be in charge of Quaresma.

So before that, he had to try to communicate with Quaresma in English, and he thought to himself, how can he say that Quaresma is also a person who has played at Chelsea, even if he doesn't learn to speak English, the simplest "hello" and "goodbye" can be said, right? You can also understand a little bit by listening, right?

※※※After assigning their respective responsibilities, you can find out this from the usual training, Simunic and Srna always talk together, introduce his teammates or introduce the culture within the team. If everyone gets together to discuss issues, Simunic is in charge of translating for Srna. The same is true for others, Salikhovic interprets for Hlosek, Obsi has a good relationship with Nyema, and Gago is close to Metzelde, Van Nistelrooy and Zuculini.

Chu Zhongtian took the initiative to approach Quaresma.

For this talented player, Chu Zhongtian has only seen the highlights made for him by fans on YouTube. When Inter Milan and Hoffenheim met last season, Quaresma had already spent his time on loan at Chelsea. As a right-footed player, he used not his left foot when he broke through on the right side and then cut inside to shoot, but with his right foot, and the arc of the outside of his right foot was dazzling and amazing. He has loved this style of play since he was a child, and he was once strictly forbidden by the coach of Sporting Lisbon, but he couldn't help it, he just liked the outside instep.

The outer instep was the only impression that Quaresma left on Chu Zhongtian, and other than that, he couldn't think of any outstanding performances from this person.

Some say that his personality is not very good, because judging by the tattoos on his body, he looks like a street gangster. But Chu Zhongtian thinks it's nothing, many players have tattoos, street gangsters are nothing, and many players have had similar experiences.

"Hello." Seeing Quaresma changing clothes in the locker room, Chu Zhongtian took the initiative to extend his hand to him.

Looking at Quaresma's slightly dazed expression, Chu Zhongtian somehow remembered the days when he first arrived in Metz. At that time, he couldn't understand what everyone said, and no one cared about him, a newcomer, he just trained silently every day and then went home. Why did he and Ribery become such good friends? It was because of that kind of environment that Ribery was the first teammate to take the initiative to approach him, although he couldn't understand what he said, but he insisted on greeting him every day when he came, which naturally left a deep impression on his lonely heart at that time. So after learning French, Chu Zhongtian and Ribery naturally became good friends who talked about everything.

How similar is Quaresma to his original self? The rest of his new teammates in this team can always find someone to talk to, but Quaresma is a complete stranger here.

Chu Zhongtian thought about it, and what he wanted to do was exactly the same as what Ribery had done to him. It is to insist on talking to him every day, whether he understands it or not, as long as he says it every day, he will be deeply impressed, and once his language level improves, he will naturally communicate with himself.

It's definitely not that Quaresma doesn't even understand a simple "hello", he just didn't expect the captain of the team to take the initiative to greet him and say something. As soon as he arrived in the team, he felt that he was a very special one, because there was no one to talk to here, Gago and Zucullini were Argentinians and spoke Spanish, but they also faced the problem of integrating into the team and not caring about themselves.

He thought it would be a tough time to fit in...... "Hey, Ricciardo. Chu Zhongtian saw that Quaresma didn't react, so he said it again in English.

"Hi...... Hi. Quaresma reacted and replied.

"Our team has such a rule, any new player comes with a special person, from today I will be your guide, you can come to me if you have any questions." Chu Zhongtian tried his best to speak at a full enough speed and standard pronunciation to Quaresma.

It was as if he had gone back to the days when he was learning English from his teacher, and every pronunciation had to be corrected countless times.

"Whether it's on or off the football field, you can come to me." He added.

It is not known if Quaresma understood, for he neither nodded nor shook his head.

But at present, Chu Zhongtian has no more ways, and he can only do this before learning Portuguese. After repeating his words, Chu Zhongtian patted Quaresma's shoulder and began to change his clothes.

Quaresma had already changed his clothes, but he didn't go out immediately, but turned to look at Chu Zhongtian who had his back to him.

Chu Zhongtian, who had changed his clothes, saw that Quaresma was still in the dressing room, so he patted him: "Let's go!" ”

※※※ In the following days, Chu Zhongtian tried his best to communicate with Quaresma in the simplest English, while trying to learn Portuguese.

And so the training period passed.

By the time the team returned to Sinsheim, Chu Zhongtian was able to speak some simple Portuguese. Everyone was surprised to see him and Quaresma communicate in Portuguese with gestures, and it had only been half a month...... In fact, Quaresma was even more surprised than they were.

Chu Zhongtian has always chatted with him in English, asking him what movies, music, food, colors and so on...... Some he could barely understand, and some he couldn't understand at all, and could only guess from Chu Zhongtian's gestures. But one day, suddenly Chu Zhongtian said a complete sentence to him in Portugal: "You really like the outside instep......"

He had just finished a shot with the outside of his right foot on the right side of a training match when the ball grazed the post and flew off the post.

This sentence shocked him, and he turned his head to look at Chu Zhongtian who was beside him.

Chu Zhongtian asked him, "How is my pronunciation?" ”

"Do you know Portuguese?" Quaresma asked, surprised.

"I'm learning." Chu Zhongtian smiled, a little proud.

Chu Zhongtian's talent for language scared everyone, making many people forget what he was learning Portuguese for.

It was rumored that Quaresma was unruly and unruly, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to get along with. Chu Zhongtian felt that everything was okay after this contact, maybe it was related to the fact that he had just come to the new club and had some restraints? But in any case, Chu Zhongtian felt that Quaresma was not too difficult to get along with, and he found that he was always involved with difficult people. At the beginning, Menez was not a good person to get along with, and the whole dressing room hated him, especially Ribery, but despite this, he managed to become friends with Menez and led Menez into the team.

He believes that if he can change the perception of Menez, he will be able to integrate Quaresma into the team. The experienced Quaresma was much better than the youthful Menez.

Quaresma has been through two failed journeys to the giants, and since then he has been thoroughly labeled as a "loser". No one will remember his success in Porto, where all eyes are on the supergiants. Looking at the current media doubts about his joining Hoffenheim, he must understand that if he can't make a comeback this time, he won't want to turn over for the rest of his life.

For almost twenty-seven years old, this is his last chance.

As Hamlet says: to live or to die, that's the question.

This shouldn't be a problem for Quaresma, no one is going to choose to die. Why did he want to come to Hoffenheim? He was also invited by the Turkish powerhouse Besiktas, but he was unwilling to say goodbye to the mainstream European football circle, once he went to Turkey, it meant that he was getting farther and farther away from the top football in Europe. Although the Bundesliga is not as good as Serie A, it is also one of the top five leagues in Europe and has attracted much attention.

If he can do better at Hoffenheim, he can re-prove it to those who question him.

So his performance in his usual training is still very hard.

Leaving Inter Milan and rainy London in a completely new place, in the small city of Sinsheim, he wanted to start fresh with a fresh mood.

It's an adventure, maybe it can be successful, maybe it can't. But it mostly depends on what he thinks. Does he still want to succeed?

Quaresma caught up with the last two of the warm-up games during the training camp, continuing his tradition of starting the red game, scoring in the first warm-up game against Birmingham City and providing two assists in the second.

The media did not rejoice because everyone knew about his virtues. In Barcelona's first warm-up game, he scored with new signing Ronaldinho, but what happened later? Ronaldinho quickly became the heart of Barcelona, and he fell to the bench in free fall. At Inter Milan, he scored in the first league game for his new club, which was a very impressive start, and then what? He is most often seen on the bench.

It has become his tradition to start high and go low, so there is no explanation for the excellent start performance. At this time, he trumpeted that he got out of the trough fog or something, and waited for himself to slap himself in the back.

There has been a consensus in the media that it is absolutely not feasible to praise Quaresma at the beginning of the league and not until the end of the season when he continues to perform so well.

The first round of the 2010-2011 Bundesliga season kicks off on August 20, before Hoffenheim have a big game to play - the German Super Cup.

It's not the first time they've played this kind of game, having lost to Hoffenheim last season as league champions and then-cup champions Werder Bremen in the Super Cup.

This time, although they were second in the league last season, since Bayern Munich won the double in Germany last season, they won both the league and the cup in their arms, and according to the rules, when the same team won the league and the cup, the Super Cup will be played against this team and the league second.

So Hoffenheim will play in the German Super Cup for two consecutive seasons.

The Super Cup is the best chance to get the team together before the league because it's not just a warm-up game, it's a game with a goal to pursue – the Super Cup. As an opponent, Bayern Munich will definitely not be as unproductive as those warm-up opponents, so the workout value of this game is even higher.

The effect of a pre-season training camp depends on this game.

If there is a problem, it can be adjusted, and if there is a loophole in the recruitment, the transfer window has not been closed, and the reinforcement can be re-introduced. Bayern Munich brought in Arjen Robben on the last day before the transfer window closed last season, and it proved to be a very successful signing, both for Robben and Bayern Munich.

Therefore, the Super Bowl is very important.

"What a coincidence. Last season's Hoffenheim league first round opponent was Bayern Munich, and their first game this season was also against Bayern Munich...... As a traditional force in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich has almost run through the history of German football, they have long become the symbol and totem of German football, and last season, they reached the Champions League final, setting an example for the rise of German football. Hoffenheim, another team, is the best representative of the emerging forces of German football in recent years, they won the league title in their first season as a promoted horse, and broke into the round of 16 in their first Champions League match last season, and had an impressive performance. These two teams have been compared side by side from the very beginning. It is also inevitable, one is the old aristocrat, the other is the new power, this is the collision of the past and the future of German football. ”

'The clash between these two teams has a lot of added meaning, but I would say that it was first and foremost a football game. I remember the 2008-2009 season at the Allianz Arena, when the two teams met for the first time. Both teams teamed up to give us a great game. From that moment on, I believed that the match between Hoffenheim and Bayern would be good! So stay tuned for this Super Cup! ”
