On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Wang Ai packed his bags, said goodbye to his parents and Xu Qinglian who was looking out of the window, and accompanied by Sun Yi, went to Shenyang to meet up with Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang. If not for the Chinese New Year, Wang Ai should have left long ago. After all, On February 16th, which is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the regional league in southern Germany restarted. Not only Wang Ai, the Chinese men's football team, which has successfully entered the World Cup finals for the first time, spent the Spring Festival in Hong Kong this year, and Things were not going well. In the Lunar New Year Cup warm-up match, we lost to Hong Kong United 3:4.
In fact, not only that, Wang Ai and three others also returned to Germany twice during the training camp in Haikou. On January 22 and January 30, they defeated the coach who was in trouble in the top 16 and top 8 of the German Cup respectively. Bayer Leverkusen and the aging Munich 1860, who came on as substitutes, advanced to the semi-finals of the German Cup. Being able to defeat these two opponents is a great incentive for the Tübingen Youth Club's popularity, including the second round of Wörkusen. In Wolfsburg, the young Tübingen youth have defeated three Bundesliga teams in a row. "Süddeutsche Zeitung" even exclaimed: This is the Tübingen miracle!
Although the scores in the last two games are not as disparate as the 5:2 difference between Wolfsburg and Wolfsburg in the first game, they are Bundesliga teams after all. Although half-hearted Bundesliga teams in the German Cup are often successfully attacked by amateur teams, But it is rare for a team to overturn the Bundesliga teams consecutively, and there are not many in the history of the German Cup. But in the past two years, as the performance of the German national team has become worse and worse due to the aging of the players, Germany It is the dark night before football regains its strength, so dark horses in the German Cup appear one after another. Last year, Union Berlin in the northern division reached the final of the German Cup. But this year, the northern division has languished, and a young man from Tübingen has emerged in the southern division.
The semi-finals of the German Cup will be held on March 5. Tübingen Youth will sit at home and face FC Cologne. This is a team that has been on the sidelines between the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga for the past two years. This year it will be promoted. They will be relegated next year, promoted the year after that, and relegated again the year after that... It can be said that their strength is more than enough to play in the Bundesliga 2, but not enough to play in the Bundesliga. The strength is just stuck in the gap between the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga 2... Fortunately, this is not a space crack!
Cologne is in the Bundesliga this year and is struggling in the relegation zone. This is a good opponent, enough to help the Tubingen youth accurately measure their true strength. Since they are invincible in the Southern Regional League this year, the Tubingen youth have made early progress. I have begun to calculate the situation in the Bundesliga next year, whether it is for the head coach Xu Genbao, the main players Wang Ai, Bai Guanghai, Luo Tongliang, Ozil, Mertesacker, or even Allison, Boateng, Favre or the representative investors. For Huang Xin and Leoni, only the Bundesliga 2 is interesting. As for the poor clubs in the vast regional leagues, it is the best policy to send the shining young people of Tuebingen to the Bundesliga 2 early, so as not to damage us. Harmony League!
The two of them got on the bus, and they were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, no matter whether they were in the city or the countryside. The ground was covered in red, the word "Fu" was hung high, and children in twos and threes were seen running on the streets.
"I want to say goodbye to you, we are all eunuchs." Wang Ai recited a Tang poem in a low voice.
"Is this the same sentence as what you said at home, 'Inaction leads to a different path, and children share the same fate'?" Sun Yi asked.
Wang Ai rolled his eyes and ignored this guy who was having some fun after being finally released. He understood that Sun Yi was deliberately diluting his sadness.
Fortunately, an hour later we met Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang, who were in high spirits. In order to see Wang Ai, their families rushed to the airport to see him off. They held Wang Ai's hand and said many kind words, and handed Wang Ai a message.
Wang Ai has a big bag of delicious food.
They are all young people, even Sun Yi, who has been a father for five years, is only 27 years old, so the dullness was quickly dissipated in the lively conversation. Bai Luo and Bai Luo felt like they were worlds apart these days during the Chinese New Year, and there was never anything at home.
There have been so many guests! Leaders, former friends from the club, teammates from Liaoning Football Team, colleagues from parents, even old neighbors who are not even close to each other, and even matchmakers have all come to visit. Whether it is more than the previous Spring Festival or more than the month before in Haikou
The training and this kind of life made the two of them a little confused and at a loss. Therefore, they were extremely excited to escape from the tiger's mouth today.
When the plane arrived in Frankfurt, Wang Ai woke up and looked outside from the small window. Germany was also covered in silver and the sky was gray. As soon as he moved, Sun Yi and Bai Guanghai also woke up one after another. Only Luo Tongliang was breathing heavily from his sleep.
He breathed without noticing.
I took the shuttle bus and headed south. When I arrived in Tübingen, I felt that the temperature had increased slightly, but not much. Because we were close to the northern foothills of the Alps, which is the windward side where the air conditioner flows south, the snow was thicker.
In Denzenberg's Chinese micro-community, all the lights were on. Xu Genbao came back on the second day of the new year. He really couldn't stand the noise during the New Year. At this time last year, he was looking forward to someone coming to his door, but everyone knew that the old
Xu Tou was holding a piggy bank at home, asking for money from anyone who caught him, so no one came. This year he was no longer short of money, but the people who came to his door were all kinds of people. Old Xu Tou had a bad temper, so he simply used the club
Because the competition was about to start, I just hid.
I have money, why should I see you?
I didn't even look at Gao Hongbo when he paid New Year's greetings. Fortunately, he gave Xu Genbao an opportunity to chat a few years ago. Now Xu Genbao is very proficient in using computers and the Internet. He has used it for longer than Wang Ai, so we don't want to meet him in person.
The football school affairs will not be delayed.
Leonie also came back. When she and Huang Xin said "Happy New Year" to each other, she learned that Huang Xin would stay in the country for a while, and that the Tubingen Youth Club would finally transform from a "Japanese company opened by Chinese in Germany".
"The club was moved out and placed under the management of a real sports company. Therefore, Leoni returned to the club on the day she was in her third year of junior high school. Huang Xin was setting up a new company and supervising relevant negotiations with Liaoning Football Team. He would not be able to come back for a while.
Oni has to take responsibility.
All the members of the club have returned. In fact, the winter break ended a few days ago. According to the requirements of regular football clubs, the vacation officially ends one week before the start of the first professional league game, and the latest is
Three days. Wang Ai is relatively late. Due to the time zone, German time is about seven hours behind China. Therefore, the current German time is just noon on February 15th.
Like Wang Ai, Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang, who had developed jet lag while sleeping on the plane, did not feel tired, so they went with Wang Ai to pay Xu Genbao New Year's greetings, and Leonie followed along to join in the fun. It is not too late to pay New Year's greetings on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Genbao
Smilingly, she accepted the greetings from the three people and the Northeastern special gifts: sauerkraut, frozen tofu, and blood sausage. Leonie presented a large piece of pork belly. Xu Genbao casually gave four red envelopes, worth one thousand yuan each. The triathlon laughed.
I took the four gifts to the kitchen, and a pot of Northeastern-style sauerkraut, white meat and blood sausage was completed in the evening.
In the afternoon, Wang Ai wanted to chat with Leonie. Unexpectedly, the energetic Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang pulled Wang Aifei to winter training. Wang Ai thought about it and checked on his teammates. It looks like it will snow tomorrow, so he is going to play in the snow.
After fighting, it’s a good thing to adapt in advance today.
After talking to Favre, the main lineup gathered at the training ground in the afternoon. After a warm-up, Wang Ai found that his teammates were in good condition. Both Mertesacker and Ozil were in competitive shape.
It was very good. Wang Ai was very happy to reward each of his teammates with a Northeastern New Year gift, a pound of authentic Northeastern stuffed dumplings!
In fact, it’s not that the teammates want to continue training during the hard-fought winter break, but they can’t stand it. Wang Ai shows off himself and Bai Guanghai on the Tubingen club’s official blog every day. How did Luo Tongliang train specially? Mr. Jinbos always gives
They left messages, who can pretend not to see this? Besides, they are all on the same team, with seemingly different levels, and they are all competitive young people. Who wants to be left behind?
That night, Wang Ai canceled the night training and had a good sleep in a warm home. In the morning, he was seduced and woke up by the aroma of Leonie frying dumplings. Leonie in pajamas was beside Wang Ai's bed,
Even if Huang Xin is not at home, Leonie becomes more courageous.
At 14:00 in the afternoon, the Ansbach team came to Tübingen to challenge the leader. Unexpectedly, before the game between the two sides started, snowflakes began to fall, and the snowflakes tended to get heavier and heavier. The referee on duty asked the captains of both sides if they wanted to fight again another day.
, Favre and Wang Ai decided not to reschedule after discussion. Not to mention the heavy snow and more than 10,000 spectators sitting on the sidelines to watch the game. Extreme weather is a problem that professional football must face. Ansbach
Being in the relegation zone, I was eager for some off-field factors to interfere with the Tübingen youth, so I didn't ask for a rescheduling.
The referee had no choice but to feel cold, so he blew the whistle fiercely.
As if awakened by this whistle, the heavy snow suddenly fell down. How big was it? The cameras on the sidelines often couldn't find the players!
Not to mention the players on the field. When the snow is at its heaviest, you can’t see anything from 20 meters away. Sometimes you can’t even see the color of the jersey clearly. I’m dribbling the ball when suddenly a guy from next to me steals the ball and runs away. Just as I’m about to
When I chased my foot, my foot slipped, and when I got up I looked again, but no one was there. The linesman was running diligently, but often ended up running in the opposite direction of the football, and not a single offside call was given during the entire game. There was nothing he could do, he couldn't see.
The spectators on the sidelines were all wearing thick clothes, and it was not cold even when it was snowing. It was also the New Year period, so watching the twenty players was like playing hide-and-seek, which made them very happy.
If this was not a match between the extremely powerful leader and the weak penultimate player, the referee on duty might have stopped the match, but everyone knows that there is actually no suspense in this match.
Famous for cooperation, the more advantageous it is for Tübingen youth in such an environment with poor visibility.
The final score on the field was as expected, with the Tubingen youth easily defeating their opponents 4:0. After the game, all the players hurried back to the club to take a shower and go home to rest, because in three days, the Tubingen youth would rush to Bughau in Bavaria.
Sen, this is a strong dialogue between the first and second place.
