In early June, flowers are in full bloom in Tübingen, and the town is colorful. Thanks to the years of hard work of the Tübingen Youth Club, the citizens here have a very friendly attitude towards the visiting Chinese national team. Especially for a world-renowned player like Wang Ai
The stars are welcomed like family members. A total of 11 people in this national team can speak German, and there is no barrier to communication with the citizens. Thinking about it conversely, if a foreign national team comes to China to compete, more than half of them can speak German.
How should we feel when we speak Mandarin proficiently?
After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic fans, the whole team arrived at the Tübingen Youth Club Hotel next to the Lion Stadium. Looking at the layout of buildings and the completely different architectural styles from Liaoning Football Team, everyone in the national team knew that they were home.
It’s very comfortable to have a place of your own in a foreign country. This means that you can eat safe and delicious hometown food, speak proficiently in your hometown dialect, and don’t have to worry about public security, transportation, accommodation, media, or training grounds.
Although Wang Ai rejected Leoni's Tübingen hardware expansion plan before, he has always bought players low and sold players high in recent years. In addition, the club itself also makes money in daily revenue, so the hardware is frequently upgraded. Currently, Tübingen Youth
The training ground is already comparable and can be called a training center. There is an indoor training field plus six outdoor training fields, two of which are standard turf. The training center also has a series of rich training facilities. The Lions Stadium will also be geothermal during the World Cup.
Construction has completely transformed it into a high-level stadium. In addition, there is the CY Rehabilitation Medical Center, where even the national team doctors were trained.
Such luxurious club facilities are all open to the national team, which the German Football Association cannot arrange. In the group stage, the Chinese team will compete in three places: Dortmund, Nuremberg and Kaiserslautern. The German Football Association only arranges one training ground.
, let alone a professional sports hospital.
A club with facilities comparable to those of the Bundesliga teams provides full support to the national team. This kind of treatment is only available to the German national team. All other 30 teams arrived in the game city in advance and then stayed at a certain venue in the local club.
The Chinese team decided to arrive at the competition city one day in advance for each game to adapt to the venue, and return to Tübingen immediately after the game to wait for the next departure. Although it takes a bit of traveling, Germany is not that big in total.
It is acceptable that Tübingen provides various conveniences that other cities cannot enjoy.
It was in the afternoon when the Chinese national team arrived, and the coaching staff had no training scheduled. Since they were still jet-lagged, Wang Ai led everyone to wander around the small town. Although the goal of this year's World Cup is still to "get a victory"
, did not "qualify the group" as many people expected, but everyone has the ambition to qualify in the group. Tortured by this invisible pressure, and with the leadership of Lao Bai and the others, they have been physically and mentally exhausted for a period of time. It is rare.
There was no need to train for half a day, and I could just relax and wander around in a foreign country away from the attention of the Chinese people.
In the Hexin Park, Wang Ai sat down and chatted with his teammates, accompanied by their respective family members. The effect of family members traveling together in the last World Cup was very good, so this year’s World Cup continued the Football Association’s plan to support family groups’ round-trip air tickets and accommodation expenses.
Of course, the money does not need to be taken from the Football Association. As a sponsor of the national team, Adidas is preparing to launch a national football calendar during the Spring Festival next year. The glimpses of the national football players wearing Adidas jerseys and shoes in the World Cup will be combined with the glimpses of the women in the stands, two in one issue.
Yes. The spare half will be reserved for the national team coaching staff.
There are generous bosses with money and support from superiors, so the women also come with the team. Of course, some people who don’t have girlfriends are miserable, and they can only find temporary replacements like sisters. If there are no sisters, then
I will make up for it later. If there is nothing in the future, I will study it. Anyway, Wang Ai is not worried, so he is responsible for making suggestions for this calendar to Adidas. Anyway, he has Leonie.
On the grass in the park in the center of the river, there are children running around occasionally, including Lao Hao's children who have received preliminary training in the Tubingen Youth Team 03. Ever since I heard Wang Ai scold "Happy Education" seriously the year before last,
, Old Hao became enlightened. Originally, people in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius in Shandong had traditional educational concepts deeply rooted in their bones. It was just that they were fooled by experts for a while. They were afraid that they would not be able to teach under a stick. Do you believe in letting talents develop?
After the sun slowly set on the treetops, the Chinese national team, which had been carefree all afternoon, got up one after another. They were hungry and wanted to have a big meal. The craftsmanship left over from the triathlon back then was intermittently used by Tübingen
Young and current chefs have learned how to stew more than ten jars of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall since yesterday.
Forty or fifty men and women walked back in twos and twos. They lowered their heads to whisper, joke, listen to scolding, and hold children. What kind of national team? They were obviously a tour group.
Even Lao Gao, who has always had a stern expression, rarely took a leisurely stroll with his hands behind his back, and seemed a lot more relaxed. His visit this time was a return visit to his hometown. Although he had not set a big goal as a youth coach in Tubingen for two years,
His meritorious deeds also helped this important overseas base of the national football team to survive the most difficult and turbulent period. The founder Wang Ai left the team, the meritorious striker left the team, the Three Musketeers disintegrated, and the meritorious coach returned to China. He is the only one who can shoulder this burden.
In the past two years, Lao Gao has really withstood the training of professional team coaches. Under heavy pressure, he has gradually emerged and truly formed his football philosophy and team leadership ideas. This is also the confidence he dares to take over the Beijing Olympic Football Team.
.
Cheng Wei didn't come, and the other coaches didn't bring their wives. They didn't have to play. Lao Gao, who was walking at the end of the crowd, raised his head and looked forward. There are 11 people in the national team who can speak German, except for Shao Jiayi.
Except for Yang Chen's path to Munich, the other 10 people all followed Wang Ai's path. They all came from the small town of Tübingen and the German second-division club Tübingen Youth. And these, too
It can be said that it is all the credit of his boss! Without him risking being strangled to death by a professor from the Renmin University of China to recruit Wang Ai from the High School Affiliated to the Middle School, it might not have been until today that Wang Ai embarked on a career path. Then there would be no young people from Tubingen, let alone
Without such a large overseas legion, there is no need to think about qualifying for the World Cup group.
Suddenly, Lao Gao felt that he was great.
Tang Yaodongzheng gathered with Wang Ai and Leoni and listened to them talk about the club's development plan, the defensive master Mauro Silva's transformation of Tübingen's youth defense system, and the new season's sponsor cooperation.
Plan, talking about the transfer plan for next season, I listened with interest.
