In a café in Stuttgart, Yun Sheng sat across from a handsome German man.

"Man, I've been riding nearly 800 kilometers in a day, and now I'm about to fall apart." Yun Sheng rubbed his arms and chatted with the German opposite.

"Coach Yunsheng, when you called me yesterday, I really didn't expect it." German dudes honestly.

Yun Sheng took a sip of coffee and said with emotion: "Man, you are the hottest goalkeeper in Germany, the perfect heir to Kahn." If it weren't for the fact that you were leaving Stuttgart, I would never have taken a seat with the defending Bundesliga champions. ”

The handsome German guy was still a little puzzled: "Coach Yunsheng, thank you for your favor to me, but I don't think I'm suitable for Cottages, although I'm leaving, I have no plans to join Cottages." ”

Yun Sheng smiled: "Because Cartbus is a relegation team, it's a little unworthy of you, right?" ”

"Well, I didn't say that."

"It's okay, it's a fact," Yunsheng didn't care, "Cottage was only a relegation team last season, we are not strong, we must be self-aware, otherwise blindly self-righteous will not benefit the team at all." For a team like ours, inviting you here is a bit of a grievance. After all, you're a strong contender for Germany's number one goalkeeper, right, Timo. ”

The person sitting in front of Yunsheng is none other than the No. 3 goalkeeper of the German team, Timo Hildebrand!

In the 0607 season, both Hildebrand and Stuttgart were brilliant. They rose to prominence in the Bundesliga era, winning the Bundesliga title, and Hildebrand was instrumental as the team's main goalkeeper. The 28-year-old German genius is at the peak of his career.

Hildebrand's rise dates back to the 2003-04 season. At that time, no one doubted that Hildebrand would become another great goalkeeper, and many would even think that he would directly replace Kahn as the German No. 1.

Before the 8th round of the 2003-04 season, the Bundesliga's record for the longest clean sheet belonged to the "Lion King" Kahn; However, Mela's steely defence and Hildebrand's record were put to rest: against a desperate Cologne side, Hildebrand made a low block and ended in a 0-0 draw. When Hildebrand surpassed Kahn's record of 803 minutes without conceding a goal, the scoreboard said, "Timo, you're the best." ”

In the following seasons, Hildebrand's form improved until they won the Bundesliga last season.

However, at the national team level, Hildebrand has always been unsuccessful.

From the sudden rise in 2004 to the Bundesliga title in 2007. Hildebrand has had a smooth run in the league, but he has been the third goalkeeper in the national team, behind Kahn and Lehmann.

And when Lehmann left England to join Arsenal, he won the first opportunity in the battle for his No. 1 goalkeeper.

At the 2006 World Cup, Lehmann, who was in better form, finally became Germany's No. 1 goalkeeper.

On the road to the No. 1 shirt of the German team, Kahn waited 6 years and Lehmann waited 8 years.

But what about Hildebrand?

No one can answer this question.

The main position of the national team is not inherited, even if the media once regarded Hildebrand as the future patron saint of the national team, but the eyesight of Enke, Wiese, Weidenfeller and others still made Hildebrand feel like a man.

Hildebrand needed a change of environment, a new test, and continued to grow, just like Lyman back then.

Before 2003, Lehmann could only wait in the shadow of Koepck and Kahn, and it was the tempering of the Premier League that gave him the capital to "rebel".

And now Hildebrand wants to surpass Lyman, he must follow the same path as Lyman back then - go abroad!

So in the summer of 2007, Hildebrand ended up in Spain and joined Valencia.

However, when Hildebrand first arrived in Valencia, he was at a disadvantage against competition from veteran Spanish goalkeeper Canizares, spending most of his time on the bench.

With the arrival of Dutchman Koeman in Valencia in the middle of the season, Canizares was purged, and Hildebrand finally got the position of the main goalkeeper, but Valencia faced serious internal and external troubles, and Hildebrand could only experience the team's heavy defeat again and again. At the end of the season, Valencia, who wanted to make a difference, only narrowly escaped relegation in the final stage.

In the new season, the new coach Emery brought the main goalkeeper of the Brazilian Olympic team, Renan, and Hildebrand was completely beaten into the cold and finally left the team. And this time the failure experience made him never return to his peak state.

Yun Sheng knows all this, and he now knows very well that what Hildebrand needs is a challenge, and what he needs is a place in the main team of the national team.

Therefore, when he played the [Good Bird Choosing Wood] spell, he had already thought of a strategy to solicit him.

"Timo, if I'm not mistaken, you left Stuttgart only for a bigger adjustment, right? You want to follow the path of Lehmann and help yourself secure Germany's No. 1 position, right? Yun Sheng said slowly.

Hildebrand was stunned: "Coach Yunsheng, how do you know?" ”

Yun Sheng smiled slightly: "I have been observing you for a long time, and I know your situation very well, this is just my guess." ”

"You guessed it right, that's what I thought, that's why I left Stuttgart," Hildebrande told the truth, "I don't want to leave Stuttgart, I don't want to leave Germany, after all, I've been in the Bundesliga and I still prefer the football environment here." ”

Yun Sheng nodded: "Timo, you are a real person, but have you ever thought that if you leave the Bundesliga, you may not be able to adapt to the rhythm of foreign leagues?" ”

"It's possible, but I'm willing to take a risk for the sake of Germany's number one goalkeeper position." Hildebrand said firmly.

Hildebrand's firmness, Yun Sheng is very clear.

It was because of the contract renewal with Stuttgart that Hildebrand paid a lot. He rejected the club's contract extension and the fans' kindness to keep him, just for the sake of his sacred goal - the No. 1 goalkeeper of the German national team!

Looking at Hildebrand's determined eyes, Yun Sheng sorted out his thoughts, then knocked lightly on the table, and slowly said to Hildebrand: "Timo, I have a suggestion, I hope you can take some time to listen to it." If you want a change of scenery, then the best place to visit is not Spain, but Cottages! ”

Hearing Yun Sheng's words, Hildebrand was taken aback!

"This is very private, how did you know about it?!"
