Chapter 051: The Old Lady of Fort Rune
The team has a holiday as usual today.
Magnum still went to the Holy Spirit Field Base early to find a physical trainer to "open a small stove".
To his relief, it didn't take long for players to come to train spontaneously.
There are main players, and there are subs.
It can be seen that everyone is holding back their strength in their hearts.
Sure enough, Becherens didn't show up.
Not that he should come back, but that's telling.
After greeting the players and finishing training, Magnum returned to the office and was about to study the information of the next opponent when he received a call from Thomas Mellegue.
After confirming that he was in the office, there was a knock on the door less than five minutes later.
Magnum opened the door with his coffee and handed it to Meleg.
Both of them are busy people, and as the season progresses, even if the club's management and results are slowly becoming regular, they are not destined to have much leisure time.
So Magnum is also very curious about why the other party took the initiative to come over today.
Mellegre took the coffee, and before he had time to drink it, he asked:
"Jack, are you sure you want Hanno to be put in reserve?"
It turned out to be this matter, and Almighty had a bottom in his heart, nodded and replied:
'Yes, you know what's going on during this period and I'm not going to compromise on this lack of professionalism.
As a former professional footballer, Melleger certainly understood what he was saying, but he still advised:
'You know best what the midfield is like now, whether to give him another chance.
The old man is still a good man, and he still thinks about how to resolve the contradiction.
"I have my bottom line, Thomas, and I hope you and the top will support me."
Seeing that Almighty's attitude was so resolute, Melleger did not speak, he hesitated for a moment while drinking coffee, and then said:
"I think there's a misunderstanding between you, Hanno is not that kind of player."
As soon as he said this, it aroused the interest of Almighty, he had been teammates with Meleg, and knew that the most important thing for the former captain was the attitude of the game, and he also felt that the other party would definitely support his decision, but he didn't expect Merlegh to come over and say such a thing.
He was waiting for an explanation.
Both people know each other, so they don't hide their communication.
This is also the place where Magnum feels most comfortable after staying in St. Pauli for a few months.
"How can I say it, Hanno's personality is indeed a bit strange, remember the game against Union Berlin? The team decided to double everyone's winnings, which would have been a good thing, but he came to me and refunded the extra winnings, saying that he didn't play, so don't. ”
Almighty was stunned, there is such a thing?
As the manager of the team, it was the first time he had heard of it.
However, it soon became clear to him that it was Bechlens who had asked Merlegre not to speak out, because if others knew, what would happen to those players who didn't play with the winnings?
Is it as high as him?
That's a bit of a moral kidnapping.
This incident shows that Bechelens' mind is much more delicate than his rugged appearance, and more importantly, it is not like the work of a player with no work ethic.
"Then do you know why he always takes time off? I said the team needed him in the last game, but he was still like this, and it's not the first time, it's so unprofessional! ”
Mellegre shook his head, saying that he didn't know the specifics, as it involved the players' privacy.
Magnum spread his hands and continued:
"And he has a conflict with the previous team, we think things are too simple, Thomas, you came just in time, let's hurry up and discuss the winter reinforcements, the midfield position is ......"
"Jack, listen to me."
In a very rare way, Mellegre interrupted him.
"Hanno is a Hamburg native, I inquired through personal connections, things are a bit complicated, I think you'd better see for yourself."
With that, he handed over a small note with an address on it.
"You should go and relax, and then make a decision when you come back, don't worry, I won't stop the reinforcements."
………
On the outskirts of Hamburg, a small town called Runburg.
Following the address provided by Meleg, Magnum stopped in front of a red house that had been around several large trees for quite some years.
He rang the doorbell.
Within seconds, an old white lady opened the door.
Seeing the strange Asian face of Magnum, the old lady was a little surprised at first, but before Magnum could introduce herself, she shouted with some surprise:
"Jack Wan?"
The old lady's local accent is a bit strong, but her name Magnum can still understand.
I'm already so famous?
Have your own fans in a small suburban town in Hamburg?
Soon the old lady's next sentence made him understand that he was self-inflicted.
"Hanno, your coach is here! Come out! I'm here to accompany Cecily~"
It turned out that people had watched St. Pauli's game and recognized Magnum.
Judging by her age and title, this should be Bechelens' mother.
An old lady who looks very cultured, but her health seems to be a little unwell, and she is always coughing between words.
Since Bechelens is really at home, it means that his request for leave is not a lie.
Could it be to come back and take care of my mother?
Magnum secretly speculated that if this was the case, it would be forgivable.
But in a second, he was slapped in the face.
A sleepy-eyed, sleepy-eyed man in a nightgown stepped out of it.
It's true that it's Bechelens, but he doesn't look like he took a leave of absence to take care of his mother.
It's three o'clock in the afternoon!
Germans don't have the habit of taking naps!
Others can't guarantee it, Magnum is 100% sure that no one in his team will take a break at noon!
Maybe it was because of the sweet dream that he was awakened and saw the face of the almighty, Bechelens's tone was not good.
"Why are you here?"
He also looked back nervously, as if he was afraid of being discovered by something.
Just get up and be angry, Almighty still answers in a good voice.
"Didn't you take a leave of absence? So I'll see if there's anything I need help with. ”
"No, if it's okay, please don't affect my vacation."
Behrens, impatiently, said that he should have known that he was going to be relegated to the reserves.
Prepare to break the jar and break it.
Looking at his attitude, Almighty is almost dead.
But out of trust in Meleg, he still held back his temper and asked:
"Why don't you invite me in and sit down? It took me more than an hour to get there. ”
Bechelens hesitated for a moment, then said with great certainty:
"There's no need for this, you see, I'm just resting at home, don't bother me."
After saying that, he actually closed the door directly.
Leave Magnum alone outside dumbfounded.
Is this called having character?
Or is there something unsightly in it?
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Magnum chose to believe the latter.
Otherwise, it can't be explained.
Okay, since he has this attitude, there is no need to be polite, it can be regarded as a heart disease.
Magnum turned away without hesitation, and as a manager, he did what he should have done and what he shouldn't have done.
But just as he took the second step, the door opened again.
The old lady came out, and while she coughed, she turned back to the house and said:
"I'm going to bask in the sun, and you look at her."
After speaking, he winked at the omnipotence.
