Chapter 37: Sympathized

Heading into September, Karlsruhe's aggressive momentum has not subsided, and they have been driving in the fast lane. In the fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds, Karlsruhe won seven consecutive victories that all fans and players felt incredible, and occupied the top spot in the Bundesliga for seven consecutive rounds, Li Huan as a defender and his teammate midfielder Federico occupied the top two positions in the scorer list with 7 and 6 goals respectively.

Opponents exclaim that Karlsruhe is invincible, and fans are confident that they will qualify for the Bundesliga as champions of the Bundesliga this year. The players and coaches are also a little flustered in the face of such results, winning almost every game easily, and the opponent is defeated and has no power to fight back, in this case, which team can keep a clear head and think that they and these men will lose the same level of team.

But when the complacency of Karlsruhe's players is gradually increasing, the crisis is also slowly coming, as the league progresses, Karlsruhe's opponents have a certain understanding of the sharp knife combination of Li Huan, Federico and Capalani on the right side of Karlsruhe, and also began to defend against the surname, for a team of the level of the Bundesliga, the defense against the surname means a rough foul.

The foul began in the sixth round at home to Ronberghausen, which ended in a 4-1 win in Karlsruhe, but the last three goals were scored in the last fifteen minutes, after a 75-minute draw.

Under the opponent's foul tactics, the coaching staff led by Becker is also worried that Li Huan and Federico will be kicked and injured by the opponent, next year is the World Cup year, the schedule is very intensive, and the injury will be troublesome, so they also deliberately protect Li Huan, Federico and Capalani, and replace them to rest when the team locks up the win. But their pride and contempt have not been eliminated, the coaches and players feel that it is more and more difficult to win, but the final score always makes them happy, and the reporters and fans always accuse the opponent of being too conservative, too rough, they have nothing to do with Karlsruhe but to use this despicable tactic, but the result is still swept into the dustbin by Karlsruhe.

Praise and blind worship can make a hound fantasize about himself as a lion, and Karlsruhe is like this hound with a bit of vanity.

In the eighth round of the league, Karlsruhe host their opponents in the next round of the German Cup, Offenbach. This is last season's promoted horse, and now they are in 11th place in the Bundesliga, with a 10-place difference between the two teams and a point difference of more than a dozen points. The media in Karlsruhe had been touting a move towards a club record of 10 wins in a row before the game, and Offenbach's humble manager Boysen said they were happy to score a goal and get a point. The people in Karlsruhe are ready to beat Offenbach and then go to Munich for the October Carnival, which is known as the Oktoberfest in Chinese.

It's like a joke about a male wolf falling out of love. At night, it dragged its wounded soul out to forage for food and walked outside a house. Hearing a child crying, the child's mother: "Cry! If you cry again, I'll throw you out and feed the wolves! The wolf waited out of the window until dawn and did not see the child thrown out, and the male wolf was filled with grief and indignation, and denounced the women as liars.

The players and coaches in Karlsruhe are like stupid wolves in jokes, they actually believe the words of their opponents and the media, and they are the only two who are less reliable than the words of women. As a result, Karlsruhe really got the cup, Offenbach fought hard in the midfield, dense backfield, fouls and destruction, coupled with the mediocrity of the referee, and finally relied on a sneak attack to succeed, and finally defeated Karlsruhe 1-0 away from home.

Karlsruhe's triangle on the right still created some chances in this game, but the opponent set up a lot of obstacles in the midfield, blocking Federico and Capalani, and not giving Li Huan the opportunity to dribble the ball at high speed to attack. Even the free kick that Li Huan relied on to become famous did not have a chance to play. Karlsruhe's right flank, which had almost two-thirds of the team's goals, was hampered in the game, making Karlsruhe's defeat inevitable.

The defeat hit Karlsruhe hard, with Becker cancelling his players' holiday to prepare for the second round of the German Cup against Offenbach in midweek. The players were forced to cancel their plans to go to Oktoberfest in Munich this week, and the most important thing for them at this moment is to beat Offenbach to regain confidence and confirm to the fans and the media, and more importantly to themselves, that the defeat in the eighth round was just an accidental 'traffic accident'.

On the night after the league with Offenbach, Li Huan received a call from almost all friends at home and abroad who knew his phone number, which made Li Huan a little crazy, he was not beaten off by this game, and his professional experience in China for more than ten years made him understand that defeat, draw, and victory are all things that the team will inevitably experience, since he joined Karlsruhe, they were only forced to draw by Bayern in August, and lost to Offenbach in September. With Karlsruhe's strength, this makes Li Huan feel very abnormal, and of course it is not normal to fail a few times a month.

Li Huan didn't dare to turn off the phone, he was worried that if he turned it off, his friends would think that he couldn't bear the pressure of failure and committed suicide. Li Bing, who had been waiting for him to participate in the Oktoberfest in Munich, called and said that she couldn't stop her tears when she saw him squatting on the ground after the game, and she told Li Huan to cheer up, Chinese fans will support him, and she will support him, which made Li Huan moved and funny, because he rubbed his eyes because the opponent hit his eyes when he was fighting for the top in the penalty area, and now he is still green, and he has to wear sunglasses when he goes out. was actually thought by the fans that he was crying, which was simply too damaging to his image.

Because Ren Feng called just now and said so, but he didn't believe that Li Huan would shed tears after losing, maybe he was secretly wiping his eyes, so angry that Li Huan scolded him and hung up the phone at that time.

Liu Yang thought that Karlsruhe would win this game, so he went to France with Yu Xiaoli with confidence. didn't expect to find out that Karlsruhe actually lost on the Internet in France, and he immediately sent a message to Li Huan from QQ, saying that the game is like picking up girls, winning or losing is a common thing in soldiers, as long as you lose repeatedly, you will definitely win the championship in the end. This made Li Huan very depressed, he didn't remember which time he failed to pick up girls, not to mention that it was still a common thing.

Li Huan's last call was Li Jing's, before this they had not spoken on the phone for a long time, and the time of the previous call was also very short, perhaps the relationship is not like what the Chinese say if the two feelings are long and twilight, but more like the Westerners say that the heart is proportional to the distance, within one zhang is the husband, and outside the one zhang will compete with others on an equal footing.

"I watched live TV, don't be sad, the league is long."

"I'm not sad, I'm really not sad, but now I'm not sad and I'm forced to be sad by you."

Li Huan felt that Li Jing was becoming more and more gentle when he called, unlike the arrogant and arrogant ice beauty he knew in China, he didn't know what this was the true face of this ice beauty. Or did love make her change like this. There is no saying on the Internet, that if you don't become bad in love, you will be perverted in love, in short, love will make people change. As for Li Huan himself, he doesn't admit that there is such a thing as love in the world at all. It's okay to be comfortable and happy together, whether it's love or not, who stipulates that this is love, that's friendship, that's love friendship. If there is really love, then what is the relationship between a man and a man called, and what is the relationship between a woman and a woman. After dying once, Li Huan scoffed at all these things and theories, just live well, and there is a use for so many broken theories.

"You still talk like that, but I'm relieved, which means that you're really not sad. Or maybe you don't have a heart at all. Li Jing said quietly.

"No heart and no lungs are better than wolf hearts and dog lungs." Li Huan smiled.

"That's not necessarily, dogs and wolves are very loyal and loyal to their owners, I look at the animal world, a male wolf died, and the female wolf later committed suicide."

"I guess the she-wolf has a nerve problem."

"You're the one who has a problem with your nerves." Li Jing easily got involved in the topic of love, and Li Huan began to cynically ridicule again, making Li Jing so angry that he almost went berserk.

"No, I'm mentally ill."

"You have nervous and mental problems."

"No, then what do you say is nerve, what is spirit?"

"This concept is incomprehensible to normal people, let alone a guy like you." Li Jing was almost going crazy again.

Li Huan was silent for a moment, smiled faintly, and said, "Yes, this is the Li Jing I am familiar with, I am really not used to the way you speak gently and softly." ”

Li Jing was taken aback and said, "What are you talking about, am I gentle?" ”

Li Huan said lightly: "At least after I came to Germany, when I called you, you gave me a very gentle impression. Jingjing, in fact, I don't think girls should change themselves because of love. If love makes a person not like herself, then such love is certainly not good love, or not necessarily love. ”

There was a long silence on the other side of the phone, and after a long time, Li Jingcai said faintly and a little tiredly: "Li Huan, maybe what you said makes sense, I think it's time for me to reflect on myself, I'm glad to hear you tell me like this, when I figure it out, I'll call you again, maybe I'll go to Germany directly to see you." ”

"Well, welcome, my bed here is huge."

"You die, damn scoundrel." Li Jing, a top student at Tsinghua University who was originally full of sorrow and philosophy, was so angry that he scolded and hung up the phone.
