This city has no historical heritage in Germany. As one of the three cities planned and built in the 20th century, apart from the world-famous Volkswagen headquarters, the only other famous city here is the Volkswagon with the same name as the city.
Vosborg Football Club.
General manager Thomas Allofs looked at Yi Zhe standing in front of him. As a professional manager who has worked in the Bundesliga for more than 20 years, he has a pair of keen eyes.
"Yi, your height makes me believe that you are from La Masia, haha!"
Listening to the other party's words, Yi Zhe smiled: "To be precise, sir, my height is slightly taller than Harvey in the thousandth percentile."
Alofs's smile grew wider. It seemed that Yi Zhe's answer interested him. He leaned back slightly and narrowed his eyes: "So do you think you are stronger than Harvey?"
"Unfortunately, sir, I didn't have the chance to play against Harvey." Yi Zhe shrugged matter-of-factly.
Alofs became more interested: "So what do you think of Wolfsburg?"
"It depends on how my teammates are, sir. In my understanding, the sky is as high as the team is strong."
Yi Zhe did not make an impassioned speech, and his expression did not even change much. He seemed to be talking about the most ordinary thing, which surprised Alofs.
Just the first time, Yi Zhe brought him a lot of surprises.
La Masia's genius, the first Chinese player in the club's history... When he consciously put down these labels, Alofs felt that he could expect more from the young man in front of him.
"You will never be disappointed here. Young man, as long as you show your strength, you will be able to win the sky. Wolfsburg can do anything!"
Wolfsburg (WOLFSBURG), "WOLF" means wolf in English, and "BURG" in Chinese means "castle", so the nickname of the new owner is Wolfsburg.
This is just the first time Yi Zhe comes here. He hasn't even had a routine physical examination yet. The procedure must be carried out. He is still complaining about the trouble in his heart, but he has no idea that not everyone has the opportunity to be able to return to the hospital.
You can meet with the club general manager before signing a contract.
Manager Alofs tapped on the table, thought for a moment and made a phone call.
"Coach Dieter Heijing is still at the training ground? OK, invite him to come to my place after the first team training... If there are no surprises, we will welcome a most special player."
There were indeed no surprises. Routine physical examinations are just a formality for most players. Yi Zhe was still worried about his injury, but the club's team doctor, Dr. Bernhardt, relieved his worries.
"You did suffer from an ankle injury, Yi. But according to my judgment, this is what professional players will suffer. Although it came earlier, it does not affect your ability to play high-level football."
"Sir, are you serious?" Although Yi Zhe was happy, he couldn't help but feel sad for himself.
Maybe I am not in Barcelona's plan at all. Unfortunately, I still want to be a hero at Camp Nou. In fact, the biggest original sin is that I am not Catalan, right?
Dr. Bornhardt adjusted his glasses: "I guarantee you with a thirty-year career, Yi, will you make fun of football?"
Yi Zhe grinned. Since his parents discovered his athletic talent, they have taken him to practice many sports, such as basketball practice, sneaking two basketballs into the court to dunk coolly, practicing swimming, quietly going to the aquarium to borrow dolphins and throw them into the swimming lane... But
Since he came into contact with football, he has never made a joke about the green field.
But the good news is that there was no accident. Yi Zhe passed the club's physical examination and he came to Alofs again.
"What great news, aha! Yi, you can now be officially welcomed to join Wolfsburg."
Yi Zhe was a little surprised: "Although I am here on loan, don't I need to sign a contract? Sir, Wolfsburg won't be so casual, right?"
"You are different from others." Manager Alofs said with a smile: "Go and make some preparations, pick a number that belongs to you, and the club will hold a press conference for you to join."
"ah?"
Yi Zhe really didn't expect a special press conference? Even the players who officially transferred and joined may not get this kind of treatment.
But Wolfsburg immediately posted the news on its official website.
"We would like to announce good news to all fans who care about and support Wolfsburg. The club has reached an agreement with Barcelona U17 echelon player Yi Zhe. The player himself will join the team on loan in the new season. The club hereby warmly welcomes his new family to join Wolfsburg.
"
This news was nothing at all in the transfer window that summer, not even comparable to several heavyweight signings for Wolfsburg's first team, but it caused shock in some specific media circles.
Because, finally there is news about Yi Zhe.
"Is this Yi Zhe? Why did he go to Wolfsburg?"
"Barbie is Q, has La Masia's genius gone downhill?"
"This day has finally come..."
The news first spread back to China. As the most watched young genius of his age group, Yi Zhe was always paying attention.
It's just that this combination seems to have lost some value for Yi Zhe, who was once so high-spirited on camera.
But Yi Zhe took it as he came, and followed Schaefer, the club's athletic director, to visit the honor room, a ten-square-meter room at the end of the second floor of the club. Although the green light show was interesting, there was nothing interesting about it.
Compared to Barcelona's showroom, there are only four trophies here, and the most important one is just a salad plate symbolizing the Bundesliga championship, with the time engraved on it: 2008-09 season.
"Uh... Yi, to be honest, Wolfsburg is not a wealthy family, but if you can be a hero here, you will gain a city."
Yi Zhe nodded: "It's exactly what I want. Although I'm from Barcelona, none of the showrooms in Gamber Sports City belong to me."
Schaefer narrowed his eyes and smiled, patting Yi Zhe on the shoulder: "Now I believe you can bring surprises! Haha, now go pick a number that belongs to you."
"I want No. 10, can I?" Yi Zhe still has a soft spot for this number. He is not superstitious, but this number has always been with him since he started at all levels of Barcelona.
"Sorry, it belongs to the team's midfielder Aaron Honte."
"Then I want No. 6."
This is the number of Barcelona's legendary midfielder Xavi. If you can't be the core of Barcelona, then be the brain of Wolfsburg!
"Wow, you're lucky, Yi. This number is now vacant. Since you like it, he belongs to you now."
Yi Zhe also smiled: "Look, this is God's arrangement, maybe I will become Wolfsburg's Harvey."
"Then when you leave, we will retire your jersey!" Schaefer's fat face of more than 100 pounds laughed, completely able to catch such a joke, and looked at Yi Zhe with an extra sparkle:
"I wish you a good dream tonight, and tomorrow will be Harvey belonging to Wolfsburg, haha!"
