"That's great, Su. I feel excited just thinking about being a teammate with you!"
"You're actually here. I even doubt that I'm dreaming."
…
To Su Dong's surprise, many Bayern players were waiting for him in the club office, led by captain Kahn and vice-captain Sagnol.
As soon as they saw him, everyone came up to welcome him.
Kahn, Sagnol, Sauer, Lucio, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Van Bommel, Van Buyten, Hummels, Lensing, Demichelis, Oter, Porto
Erski...
Su Dong was also very polite, shaking hands with his teammates one by one, and some of the people he was familiar with before even hugged him politely.
"Hey, buddy!" Van Bommel even gave Su Dong a double high-five and a big hug.
The two actually didn't have a deep friendship in Barcelona, but when they came to Bayern Munich, they both needed to join the team for warmth.
After meeting everyone, Su Dong slowly stepped away and opened his arms to everyone, thanking them for their warm welcome.
In fact, he also noticed it.
Most of the players who came to the scene today were midfielders and backcourt players. Only Podolski came to the forward line because he is a local player, like Ma Kai, Pizarro, Santa Cruz, and even fellow Asian players.
Karimi, the player, didn’t come.
This is not difficult to guess, because after Su Dong's arrival, it was basically equivalent to pronouncing their death sentence at Bayern.
Many outside media have been talking about it, thinking that Su Dong's arrival at Bayern is a dimensionality reduction attack, a bit of technological poverty alleviation. However, for many Bayern players, even the vast majority of Bayern players, Bayern is the pinnacle of their careers.
This sounds cruel to say, but it is an outright fact.
Su Dong understood this very well and was not unhappy at all, because he would probably do the same thing if it were him.
…
From Sporting Lisbon to Valencia and then to Barcelona, this is not the first time Su Dong has joined a new team.
Although each time is different, there are many similarities.
Su Dong knows very well that if he wants to gain a foothold at Bayern, the first thing he has to do is to integrate into the locker room and gain the recognition and trust of the players in the locker room.
Therefore, when Kahn asked him what the first thing he wanted to do after arriving in Munich, Su Dong immediately jokingly said that he wanted to know which restaurant was the best in Munich.
"Why do you want to know the best restaurant?" Ram asked strangely.
Everyone was also puzzled, because in their impression, Su Dong didn't look like a foodie.
"Because I want to treat you to a meal when you all have time."
With Su Dong's current status, the meaning of goodwill was quite obvious when he said such words. Kahn and others naturally felt it and immediately agreed with a smile, especially Kahn.
The old captain directly patted his chest and said that there was no reason for Su Dong to treat him, so he wanted to treat him.
In this back-and-forth conversation, the distance between each other has been narrowed invisibly.
Although it's just the beginning, a good start is half the battle.
…
"Su, I have arranged the wardrobe and room for you. Have you chosen your jersey number?" Kahn asked with concern.
Everyone is also very concerned, especially Podolsky.
He is currently wearing jersey No. 11, which is a very good number.
"This is what I'm very curious about." Su Dong frowned and asked, "Hoeness just showed me our team's jersey numbers this season, and I found out, why is there no number nine?"
This is what he saw just now but didn't have time to ask.
Kahn and others laughed, and immediately told Su Dong the reason for this.
In fact, it’s not just this season, it wasn’t last season either.
It’s a long story here, and there’s also the so-called Bayern No. 9 Curse that was hyped up by outside media.
Su Dong had time, and Kahn and others were willing to educate him about Bayern's history, so they sat down in the office and started chatting.
When it comes to the history of Bayern's No. 9, it must have a long history. After all, this is a very classic jersey number for all football teams in the world, such as Gerd Muller and Dieter Hoeness.
Dieter Hoeness is the general manager of Hertha Berlin, and now Hoeness's younger brother at Bayern. Both brothers used to play at Bayern, but interestingly, Uli Hoeness just left, and his brother Dieter
·Hoeness just came.
Among them, Hoeness Jr. took over the No. 9 jersey from Gerd Muller.
And Hoeness lived up to this classic jersey and left his own page in Bayern's history.
But after Hoeness, Bayern's No. 9 jersey did not perform very well for ten years. By the end of the 1980s, Bayern introduced Wichmann from Schalke 04. Despite scoring goals
Not too little, but not convincing either. He left the team after only two seasons.
Entering the 1990s, Labbadia was another Bayern No. 9, scoring 28 goals in 82 games in three seasons. This was definitely unqualified for Bayern Munich, so he also left.
In 1994, World Footballer Papin took over Bayern's No. 9 jersey. However, in the following two seasons, he only scored three goals in 27 games. The aging Papin's career at Bayern can only be regarded as a failure.
After that, the No. 9 jersey remained empty for a few years until its next owner, Brazilian forward Elber.
Looking back from the current perspective, Elber is definitely successful. He has made great contributions to Bayern. However, in fact, for a long time, due to injuries and other aspects, Elber's performance has never been outstanding.
With his eye-catching performance, his goals have always been around fifteen goals. This scoring efficiency is indeed a bit low for Bayern.
It was not until his last season at Bayern that he scored 21 goals and won the Bundesliga Golden Boot. Unfortunately, he had to share it with Bochum veteran Thomas Christiansen.
After his peak, Elber also moved to Lyon.
After Elber, Bayern's latest No. 9 is the Asian player Hashemian. He scored 16 league goals in Bochum and was introduced by Bayern. However, in Bayern, he scored zero goals in nine games, which made Harbin
Schmian has never regained the form he had in Bochum since then.
When Ma Kai joined Bayern, he chose No. 10 instead of No. 9, which is favored by the center.
…
"That's the way it is, so I suggest that you should consider other jersey numbers. After all, we still have a lot of vacancies. You can even negotiate with your teammates, but it's best not to choose No. 9." Kahn advised.
Everyone also looked at Su Dong, paying attention to his expression.
Su Dong couldn't tell that these people had some intention of testing themselves.
It is said that Bayern specializes in unruly stars. It is not easy to convince these teammates.
Germans are very proud at heart!
"To be honest, I was a little hesitant about whether to choose No. 9..." When Su Dong said this, he paused deliberately.
As expected, he could detect disappointment and even contempt in the eyes of many teammates.
But he quickly changed the topic, "However, I like to do challenging things. I didn't know it before, but now I know it, I think this will be a very big motivation for me."
."
"You mean..." Kahn was quite surprised.
"Don't say that I don't believe that there is a so-called curse in this world. Even if it does exist, I believe that I can crush it with my own hands. Since this jersey is behind the two seniors Gerd Muller and Dieter Hoeness,
, it has been covered in dust for so many years, so let me give it a try and make it shine again!"
When Su Dong finished speaking, his confident look made everyone present feel his confidence.
This is the double footballer for two consecutive years!
He came to the Bundesliga not to prove his strength, but to conquer the Bundesliga fans and all the players!
At this moment, Su Dong made no secret of his ambition.
I come, I see, I conquer!
…………
…………
After making an appointment with the players to have a meal together, Kahn and others dispersed.
Hoeness was very surprised by Sudong's performance. Unexpectedly, at such a young age, he seemed very mature in dealing with players such as Kahn. This also confirmed what the outside world had said before.
Su Dong has never been a thorn in his side, but he is not easy to mess with either.
"Currently, I have arranged for people to go to Croatia to talk to Dinamo Zagreb, hoping that they can release Luka Modric during the winter break. But the problem is that he plays for Zagreb
Dynamo has played in the Champions League, albeit only in the qualifying rounds."
In other words, after introducing Modric, he, like Su Dong, will not be able to play in the second half of the Champions League.
However, this is not something Su Dong should have a headache about.
It doesn't matter if it's Modric, Van der Vaart, or even Sneijder. Anyway, Su Dong doesn't mind who his teammate is.
Because no matter who it is, they all come to play around Su Dong and pass the ball for Su Dong.
So, is there a difference?
"I heard that Mendes recommended three players to you?" Su Dong asked with a smile.
Hoeness nodded, "He knows our needs."
"Who is there?"
"Porto's right winger Quaresma and Benfica's center back Pepe are all old acquaintances of yours."
Su Dong nodded, these two were indeed old acquaintances, but neither of them was cheap.
"There is also a Brazilian young player who plays left back, named Marcelo. I heard that Real Madrid has always wanted to introduce him, but Mendes wants to move him to Bayern. The price is not expensive. We saw him in
Brazil's domestic performance is quite good and we have decided to sign him," Hoeness said.
Su Dong knew it well. He knew that Bayern's signing of Marcelo was more or less based on Su Dong's face.
Sometimes, transfers are like this. Mendes is Su Dong's agent, and Bayern gives him a little sweetener and signs the players he recommends. This is also a way to improve the relationship between them.
But the other two players are not cheap.
Just when Su Dong was thinking, Hoeness suddenly said something again.
