"Would you like to be a professional footballer?"

Hearing this question, Beta's pupils widened slightly, and he was stunned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoYes, he wants to be a professional footballer, but why would the other party ask that?

Seeing Beta's expression, Rangnick thought he was abrupt, he smiled slightly, and said: "I haven't officially introduced myself yet, I'm the head coach of a professional team, and when I saw your game today, I think you should be the type of player we need in our team!" ”

Beta's smart mind was also a little sluggish at the moment, and he felt as if he couldn't think a little. It's like looking forward to the little girl who can become a big star every day and night walking on the road, and suddenly meets a person who claims to be a talent scout and tells her: "Girl, your appearance and temperament are all excellent, come to our company, we can train you to become a big star in the future!" ”

Seeing that Beta hadn't recovered from his surprise, Rangnick was quite satisfied. He saw the eagerness in Beta's eyes, but he was still very honest when he said: "Of course, when I ask you now, it doesn't mean that I will be able to sign you to become a professional player. But I want you to try it out in our team, we lack a quality defender in the position, and if you show your defensive quality today in the tryout, I would be happy to welcome you to our team! ”

Doesn't that sound like something on top? Isn't it as diligent as Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched house?

But that's how it should be, Rangnick is a head coach, and Beta is an amateur player who hasn't proven himself in the professional arena before, if Rangnick shows a "you have to be" attitude from the beginning, if Beta's tryouts are not ideal, how can he say no in the future? If Beta is pampered, how can his managerial majesty be maintained?

Rangnick's caution was not wrong, and his sincerity earned him Beta's trust.

Now, Beta is willing to believe Rangnick and what he says he is, he's a manager! At this moment, Beta calmed down, and when it came to business, his expression was much more serious than just now: "Rangnick, I want to ask what is the name of your team?" ”

"Hoffenheim!" Rangnick smiled and said, "It's located in Sinsheim, Baden-Württemberg, not too far from Munich. ”

"Hoffenheim? Baden-Württemberg? Beta was a little surprised, he frowned slightly, and said, "Rangnick, with all due respect, I also went to Baden-Württemberg last month, and I tried to find a trial for almost all the teams in the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga, but I haven't heard of a team called Hoffenheim?" ”

"You've been to a tryout?" Rangnick was confused.

Beta smiled, his smile was a little bitter, but he still said calmly: "Yes, after I came to Germany, I also hope to join a professional team, last month's trip covered most of Germany, I tried out Augsburg, Stuttgart, ......"

Beta familiarly pronounced a long list of team names, and Rangnick was convinced, asking, "What about the results of the tryout?" ”

"As you can see, I'm standing in front of you, not training at a club." Beta smiled more openly, as if he wasn't talking about his sadness, "Of course, even if I keep failing, I'm going to keep going, because I want to be a professional footballer." ”

This was a response to Rangnick's original question, and Rangnick looked at the determination in Beta's eyes, but his expression was a little silent.

After a pause, Rangnick slowly spoke, "You haven't heard of Hoffenheim, it's normal!" Hoffenheim is not a Bundesliga or Bundesliga team, it is currently in the southern division of Germany's regional league. ”

At this time, there was no such thing as the German football league in Germany, but the current regional leagues are almost the same as the German league, which was only integrated later, and they are all third-tier leagues. Rangnick was a little worried that Beta would lose interest in Hoffenheim when he heard this, he looked Beta in the eye seriously and said: "But I can tell you, Beta, we are a team that wants to rush to the Bundesliga!" ”

Hoffenheim was once a small football club, but with the investment of Dietmar Hoppe, co-founder of SAP, one of Europe's largest software companies, it gradually climbed to the southern part of the third regional league.

"I was just hired as head coach this year, but I coached Stuttgart, Hannover 96 and Schalke 04!" Rangnick said with some arrogance at this time.

Beta was really shocked this time, Rangnick coached Schalke 04? This team is not ordinary, the coal miners not only frequently participate in European competitions, but also won the German Cup in the 01~02 season, and more importantly, it can be ranked in the forefront of the Bundesliga, which can be regarded as an old powerhouse in the first echelon.

"Why did I, a manager with Bundesliga experience, come to the third tier, you may ask?" "Because I found that this is an ambitious team, it is willing to invest money, and it can be a stage for me to show my talents, so I am willing to coach it and return to the Bundesliga with it!" ”

'We've had a lot of moves this summer, players are buying and selling a lot, but you can guess that players at this level aren't very good, they have all kinds of shortcomings, and you can't even buy the players you need if you have the money. That's why I've bought a lot of players but still have a lot of worries about our backline! ”

"Beta, let's go!" Over there, the teammates had packed their things, and Yang Junxin raised his hand and called.

"Sorry, just wait, I'll say a word to my teammates." Beta turned around and shouted to Yang Junxin, "Brother Xin, you go over first, I'll talk about something, I'll go by myself later, I know the way." ”

After arranging his teammates, Beta turned his head and said with some hesitation: "Rangnick, I'm actually having a lot of confusion right now, because you said it was the third division of the regional league at the beginning......"

"Isn't it a bit of a disdain for the regional leagues?" Rangnick was not annoyed, he asked with a smile.

Beta shook her head and said with a wry smile, "I've tried out so many teams, and I never thought about playing for a third-tier league. In fact, when I tried out at Bayer Leverkusen, they refused to offer me a professional contract, but suggested that I join their second team, which I considered at the time and turned it down. ”

"They were right!" Rangnick is very straightforward, without detouring, "Your current technical level is not up to the level of the Bundesliga, or even the Bundesliga, I have watched your game, you can play a big role in defense, but your foot skills, as well as your offensive ability, there is still a big gap compared with a real professional player!" ”

'Playing in a third tier team you get the chance to play and you have time to improve on your shortcomings so that you can have a place in the top flight in the future!' Rangnick said.

I have to say, what Rangnick said makes a lot of sense!

Beta is almost convinced by him! But is the third division really good? From a face point of view, it is really difficult for Beta to get such a statement as a third-tier league player, let alone have the confidence to tell his father his choice!

As he was talking, Rangnick's phone rang, he picked it up and looked at it, only to remember the purpose of his coming to this campus today, he muttered in a little panic, "Oh no, no! I forgot the appointed time! ”

Picking up the phone, Beta heard the angry voice of the woman coming from Rangnick's phone, but Rangnick smiled bitterly and said, "Hannah, I said that I arrived early, will you still believe it......"

Beta was embarrassed to eavesdrop, and he tilted his head.

It took a while for Rangnick to come back, he took out his jacket pocket, took out a business card, and said to Beta with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Beta, I have to go to my wife's appointment!" Here's my business card with my phone number on it! ”

"I still want you to think about it, even if your future does not belong to Hoffenheim, at this time, the opportunity to practice is far more important than you sit on the bench in the high league!" "I'll be in Munich today or tomorrow, give me a call if you want, and we'll be back in Hoffenheim on Monday!" ”

Beta took it, and he solemnly placed the business card in his wallet.

Rangnick leaves, leaving behind a beta who is doomed to not sleep tonight!

……

At the celebration banquet, Beta didn't drink, and Yang Junxin also helped him block all the invitations to drink very righteously, of course, this group of guys was very drunk, and in the end, Beta looked for a car and sent them back one by one.

When Ma Bo was drunk, he said that Beta didn't have the excitement of winning the championship today, and this drunken thing was not wrong at all!

Lying on his back on the bed, listening to the drunken shouting of Brother Yifan next door from time to time, Beta felt as if a long time had passed since he won the championship this afternoon.

And what he is thinking about at the moment has nothing to do with winning the championship, but what Rangnick told him.

"You can't get a foothold in the high leagues yet......"

"The opportunity to work out is far more important than sitting on the bench in the senior league......"

On the other end, there was a villain in his head who persuaded him: "Don't go to Hoffenheim, mix in the third level, how faceless it is to say it?" ”

"Playing football is going to drop out, the third division, have you thought about it?"

Beta gently touched the slightly hot totem on his chest, his eyes flashing with hesitation for a moment, and a sparkle of determination for the next.

He suddenly climbed out of bed and opened the laptop ThinkPad_X60 he had bought after making money the other day. Logging on to the Internet, Beta searched for information about Hoffenheim in German.

In the Wikipedia that jumped out, the name of the head coach was hung, and when I clicked on it again, I happened to see the portrait of the middle-aged man I met this afternoon.

"He didn't lie to me! He did serve as the head coach of Schalke 04......" Beta said silently, "Maybe, playing under his banner, whether I can be promoted to the higher leagues next year or not, my ability can improve faster, right?" ”
