At the end of the 2001-02 season in the German Southern Regional League, he won the best two months, topped the scorer list and led the team to successfully complete the promotion. After finishing the German Cup, Bai Guanghai can be regarded as returning with a honour. However, this honor is a little short of the mark. As the former main force of Liaoning Football Team, next season's campaign in the Bundesliga will really begin.
Back home in Shenyang, the neighbors, friends, and strangers he met along the way kept saying hello. Bai Guanghai had no choice but to drag his suitcase, answer the phone, and smile at everyone.
When we arrived downstairs at home, it was another half year!
Lao Bai subconsciously looked back at his suitcase. There was 65,000 euros in salary and bonuses that he had accumulated in one season. Although it was not much, it was in foreign currency. There were also regional league championship medals and German Cup championship medals. , a commemorative trophy for the best player in two months and a small commemorative golden boot for the top scorer.
This is all you have!
When I walked to the door, the old door could not block the smell of home. It seemed that my father was cooking by himself?
"I'm home?"
Dad wore an apron and opened the door. Why does he look a little old after half a year?
"Hey! Where is my mother?"
"I went downstairs to buy some drinks. I know you should be home by this time. Just put your luggage down and take a rest. That'll be fine."
After saying that, Dad quickly returned to the kitchen.
Bai Guanghai looked around at home. Nothing seemed to have changed. He put down his luggage first and gave his parents a surprise later. He washed his hands in a hurry and was about to go to help in the kitchen when his mother came back with a few bottles of beer.
Not long after, the sound of a spoon in the kitchen made the mother and son look at each other, smile, arrange the table, serve rice and dishes, and laugh happily.
"Mom and Dad, I earned this money this season. It's of no use if I keep it. Let you keep it."
After the meal, Bai Guanghai opened his suitcase in front of the sofa and took out colorful euros.
"How much is this?" The old man looked at it and frowned.
"Thirty-five thousand."
"So much? Haizi, how much can you save in Germany? I remember your annual salary is only 50,000 euros, right? You don't usually spend it? You don't have any contact with your teammates?"
"Yes, but there are only so many left." Bai Guanghai said with a smile.
"How did you spend it?" The old man still didn't relax.
"In addition to salary, there are bonuses and subsidies. The total calculation is almost 80,000 euros." When Bai Guanghai said this, he shook his head with a smile: "Xiao Wang always subsidizes me, otherwise I would have to eat half of the meal." Director Xu has an apprentice who is also an assistant coach of our team and also works part-time as a chef. Ronaldinho, Xiao Wang and Director Xu live very close to each other and we basically eat together. Xiao Wang didn’t even ask for me. Wouldn’t this save food money?”
"……is this okay?"
Bai Guanghai smiled: "He is more lavish than me. Anyway, he is rich, so he is not inferior to me. But this is not a lot for me. Oh, by the way, there is this."
Bai Guanghai took out a card from his pocket: "This is a shopping card for a company owned by Xiao Wang's family. It's called Stupid Food. It has a face value of 20,000 yuan and is spent in a year."
"Idiot food? I heard it doesn't use pesticides and fertilizers, but it's expensive." Bai Guanghai's mother muttered.
"Okay, Xiao Wang is so kind to us, just keep it if you give it to us." Bai Guanghai's father waved his hand generously: "Haizi, what are your plans for this summer?"
"I'll take a day off today, meet my old teammates tomorrow, and start training the day after tomorrow. Ronaldinho will be with me."
Bai Guanghai then turned out his various commemorative medals and trophies, and showed them to his parents one by one along with the many photos developed by Wang Ai's high-definition digital camera. He was very happy.
At about the same time, Luo Tongliang was doing the same thing.
After cleaning up, Bai Guanghai's father explained: "Haizi, Xiao Wang is so interested in you, we can't forget that you can come to him for a meal when you have time. He is richer than us, so we can put in some effort."
.”
Bai Guanghai shook his head: "I'm afraid he has no free time. He should be training with the national team now. Next month, they will go to South Korea to play in the World Cup."
"Ah? How old is he?"
"My little boss is really awesome!" Bai Guanghai said with emotion: "Speaking of which, he is just a little younger, otherwise I, the top scorer, might not be able to beat him. But then again, he might be too
I didn’t pay attention to the top scorer in this regional league. I think he was going to the World Cup from the beginning."
Speaking of this, Lao Bai thought for a while: "Dad, he started to perform fiercely three months in advance and collected various statistics. Anyway, in the past one or two months, he has scored in almost every game.
The ball is more about assists. The last time I told you about his shooting, Ronaldinho has been practicing for almost 10 months now, and he still hasn’t figured it out yet. I guess he won’t be able to achieve it in the end.
His level. So I think there is nothing to say about him joining the national team."
The next day, Luo Tongliang arrived at Bai Guanghai's house. The two brothers worked hard in Germany this year. Their relationship developed rapidly. The two of them went to Germany together, and the distance between the two families became closer. The two brothers returned to the quiet Liaoning Football Club together.
The A-League League was also over, and there was no one in the club. Manager Cao went to supervise the construction site of the new club in Hunnan. The brothers had no choice but to visit the Sports Committee compound.
On the third day, the two brothers began to borrow the training ground of Liaoning Football Team to resume training. The two fed the ball to each other, with Bai Guanghai focusing on headers and Luo Tongliang focusing on long-range shots. Since both Liaoning Football Team and Tübingen Youth are under the banner of Beyond Sports, don’t look at the two
They are all permanent transfers, but we are still a family.
While the two were practicing, they paid attention to the developments of the World Cup. Sometimes they even got together briefly with the Liaoning Football Team teammates, but when they thought that Wang Ai was training with the national team to prepare for the World Cup, they no longer wanted to talk.
On the contrary, there is a strong sense of urgency. Lao Bai is already 25 years old. In addition to entering the National Youth Team once, he has never even entered the National Olympics. If he doesn't work hard, he may not be able to wear the national team jersey even once in his life. People
Xiao Wang was almost a round younger than him, but in the end, they were all national players! But Luo Tongliang was even worse, he didn't even make it into the national youth team.
In this busy and sweaty summer of Lao Bai, the World Cup started. The Chinese team entered the World Cup finals for the first time. Like many Chinese, the two of them called their friends before the game and prepared to watch together. In the end, all the teammates agreed
Decided to go to the Liaoning Football Club's large conference room. It was spacious and had a big place.
More than a dozen boxes of beer, a large rear-projection color TV, braised pork, dried peanuts and sweet potatoes were brought in. Almost all Liaoning Football Team teammates and coaches who were at home arrived.
