Chapter 23: Pranks
In the leisure bar, Tang Zhenglong and Svante sat together, after all, Tang Zhenglong was not familiar with other people.
That's when the staff came over.
"Hello, Don, my name is Susan, and I'm in the service of the first team."
Tang Zhenglong looked at it, it was a middle-aged aunt, Europe is different from China, women in the domestic service industry are required to be beautiful, such as flight attendants, flight attendants of domestic airlines are all big beauties, but if you have taken a European or American airline, you should know that many foreign flight attendants are middle-aged aunts.
"Hello, have a cup of coffee."
"Do I need to add anything?"
Tang Zhenglong glanced at Sfante, who was drinking coffee, "What did you add?" ”
"I didn't add anything, I love black coffee."
"What's that?" Tang Zhenglong asked Susan.
"Creamer and sugar, some people will add a little cinnamon, I feel good."
Tang Zhenglong nodded and asked, "Give me curry powder." ”
Burst.
Svante squirted out a sip of coffee.
"Hahaha, coffee with curry powder?" Svante gave a thumbs up, "Don, you even drink coffee with such personality. ”
Tang Zhenglong Khan, "Who said I drank it myself." ”
The expression on Susan's face was complicated, "Are you kidding?" ”
"No, give me curry powder."
“……”
After a while, Susan brought a small plate of curry powder.
Tang Zhenglong craned his neck to look and found that Schultz had left to go to the toilet, so he came to Schultz's seat with curry powder.
"Don, what are you going to do?"
"Shh Tang Zhenglong put his finger on his lips.
The teammates covered their mouths and were happy, Schultz's temper is clear to everyone, since Tang Zhenglong is going to die, then everyone should watch a good show.
After a while, Schultz came back, picked up his coffee, and he noticed that everyone was looking at him, so he touched his face and thought, "Am I becoming handsome?" ”
"Hehe, it seems that the mask I applied recently has an effect."
After taking a small sip of coffee, Schultz frowned, something was wrong, so he took another big sip.
"Have you noticed that this coffee seems to taste very special, could it be that it is new?"
Burst.
Burst.
Burst.
A series of laughter erupted, and even Podolsky, who usually did not smile, covered his face and laughed.
"Hehe, what's wrong? Don't tell me you didn't drink it. ”
"That's because someone added something to your coffee."
As soon as these words came out, Schultz was stunned for a moment, and then sniffed carefully, it smelled of curry.
"Who did it?"
Everyone pointed to Tang Zhenglong.
Schultz gave Tang Zhenglong a murderous look, "I'll kill you." ”
"Ahh
"Hahaha."
"Don is so funny."
"Maybe he'll be the pistachio of the team."
*****
At 2 p.m. on Sunday, Cologne will face their sixth opponent of the new Bundesliga season, Dynamo Dresden.
Founded in 1950, the club was once one of the most popular football clubs in East Germany, having won the East German Bundesliga eight times, but in the last decade or so, the club has been in a very modest situation and has been mixed in the Bundesliga for a long time.
Cologne is playing at home, and the Rheinenergy Stadium will definitely be full again, don't look at Cologne football, but Cologne is the fourth largest city in Germany, second only to the capital Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich, so the huge population has created a ball market in Cologne is still very good.
In Sunday's game, Tang Zhenglong was selected for the 18-man squad, and assistant coach Holger disagreed, he felt that Tang Zhenglong was in too much of a hurry to be included in the squad, but Stevens still insisted on doing so.
When warming up before the game, Tang Zhenglong felt an unprecedented shock, the feeling of 50,000 people roaring and tsunami is difficult to describe in words, you have experienced it once and remember it for a lifetime.
"It's no wonder that so many people would rather pay a lot of money to watch the game live, and this is really an effect that no TV set can match."
But then came nervousness, starting from the youth training, all the games Tang Zhenglong has played are small courts, and the fans are thousands at most, and they are all sparse, and it is the first time that a game like this has been played.
"Not nervous, not nervous."
Tang Zhenglong comforted himself.
At this moment, Tang Zhenglong saw a male goat eating carrots on the sidelines, this goat has a great background, it is called Hennes VII, it has been passed down to the seventh generation, and it is the mascot of the Cologne Club.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the first brother of Cologne, and even Podolsky has to stand aside in front of it.
Whenever Cologne plays at home, Hennes VII the Goat comes to the sidelines under the watchful eye of the team to pray for the team.
The warm-up is over.
Cologne has played a 442 formation this season, and Stevens' forward partner for Podolski is Guy Mian from Congo.
The midfielders are four low-profile B2B players, that is, midfielders who cover their own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area.
No. 19 Albert Streit, No. 15 Christian Springer, No. 8 Matthias Schultz, No. 23 Marcus Foyer lined up.
Cologne's midfield does not have a so-called core, which is also helpless, Cologne can't come up with that kind of particularly talented midfield attacker.
The two centre-backs are both homegrown German big men – No. 2 Carsten Kurmann and No. 20 Lucas Sinkiwicz.
The right wing-back is Andrew Sinkara, a black player from Zambia, and the left-back is Germany's No.3 Voji.
The goalkeeper is No. 33 Stefan Wiesels.
The media's evaluation of Cologne is a team with a superstar with ten Bundesliga players, and Tang Zhenglong feels that this evaluation is still very reasonable.
The head coach of Dynamo Dresden is also well aware of this, and in the first five rounds of the league, any team that can limit Podolski has a good result, and Cologne is a one-man team, which has formed a consensus in the Bundesliga.
The Bundesliga is a national live broadcast, and Deutsche Sport broadcasts the game live.
As soon as the game began, the commentators quickly discovered Cologne's problem.
"Lucas was being targeted by the opponent again, and now in the Bundesliga, two or three people are already basic to mark Lucas."
"Stevens is aware of the problem, but Lucas's partner up front, Guy Mian, has given too little support to Prince Cologne."
Stevens' expectation for Guy Mian was to draw the opposition defence and form a second point of attack, but it was clear that the Congolese were not doing so.
At this time, Stevens glanced at Tang Zhenglong, who was running in the warm-up, and remembered Tang Zhenglong's pass to Podolski during the trial.
"Do you want to give Don a chance in the second half?" Stevens couldn't make up his mind and let the players promoted by the second team play right away, which seemed a little too bizarre.
