Golden Greenery

The peaceful German canal flows to Hanover, and the water surface suddenly widens a lot. The river course also turns a 40 degree bend here, and continues to move towards the Northeast quietly. Where the river turns, the water surface is extremely open, forming a huge fan-shaped lake. From a very high point of view, the river and lake are like a huge diamond inlaid on a slender ring.

On the diamond lake, there is a small peninsula extending from the land. The madeborg football club and Victor football field are located on this peninsula.

after a quick lunch, Zhuoyang gets on his bike. He bought bicycles from the second-hand used supermarket on campus, where many students used to exchange or sell various items. Zhuoyang took a fancy to the bicycle because it had a bell that rang and rang.

Wenqing people always like to use nostalgia to express their feelings. Zhuoyang inherited his father Zhuo Tongtong's share of the false literature and art. The ring of "bang, bang" is like a postman walking through the streets in the 1970s.

Arrived at the madibu football club, explained the intention to the gatekeeper's uncle, after the uncle's instruction, Zhuoyang found chairman Mullen's office. In the office, I also met Sylvia, the legendary secretary.

After a simple negotiation, Zhuoyang and chairman Mullen have discussed all the terms of the contract. Signing a semi professional youth player is not a complicated thing, let alone the president of the club.

Twelve hundred euros a week, a year's contract, a goal prize and a fee. To Zhuoyang's surprise, he also received a signing fee of 5000 euros.

This is the first time in Zhuoyang's life that he has his own income, which makes him feel rich.

"Sylvia," Angus Mullen said to his little sweetheart secretary, "go and tell Jurgen to come to me."

Sylvia, looking at her waist and willows, walked out with a smile. Zhuoyang had a very absurd feeling.

"That's how I became a semi professional footballer?" Zhuoyang is a little funny. "My mother asked me to come to Germany because I was playing football at home. I didn't expect to be here, but I became a football player. " It's hard to predict!

The door of the office was opened, and a man came in. Zhuo Yang, who was out of Shenyou, looked up and looked at it: Ho, what a big man!

I saw that the man was wearing a half new and half old rolling blue sportswear. He was in his early thirties, with bright eyes and two pupils. His eyebrows were divided into eight characters. The height of one meter and eighty-five upward, wide shoulder and back, and the walking steps are extremely wide. His face is covered with stubble, brown and yellow hair is cluttered on the forehead, and there are some vicissitudes in his slovenness. The black frame glasses on the bridge of the nose don't look very harmonious on the flat and wide face.

"Angus, you want me?" Dahan told chairman Mullen that his voice was high and a little hoarse.

"Jurgen, I'd like to introduce you. This is Zhuo, Zhuoyang, from China. " Angus Mullen stood up and said. "Drow, this is Jurgen klopper, the head coach of the club's youth team."

"Hello, Mr. croop!" Zhuoyang is very polite.

"Hello, Zhuo. From China? Well, you speak German quite well. " Chlop looked at Zhuoyang with some surprise.

"Thank you, Mr. klopp. Your German is also very good." Zhuoyang came up and shook chlop's outstretched right hand twice.

"Ha ha ha ha, Jurgen, see? This is an interesting little guy." President Angus Mullen's smile was obviously not high. "Drow is my new signing. I gave him to you. I think you will like him."

Angus Mullen, as a strong club owner, is a young player. Anyone will think it's normal. Of course, Jurgen klopper is no exception.

"Jurgen, like you, Zhuo works part-time at the club. He's still a college student, just like you. Zhuo is at Hanover University of music, piano, a cool major. " Chairman Mullen said.

"Whoa, isn't it? A musician who plays football, a fantastic young man Jurgen klopper was obviously interested. "I am currently studying football coaching at the German Sports University in Cologne."

Jurgen klopper was born in 1967. He used to be a professional footballer and spent most of his career at Mainz football club. He has been playing in the middle of the German Football League B with Mainz, starting as a striker and then as a defender. At the end of his career, Jurgen klopper began studying sports at the University of Frankfurt. After the official retirement last year, he went to the German Sports University of Cologne to study coach. After graduation, he can obtain an international class a coach certificate.

Jurgen klopper is a correspondence type college student. The most important thing is to have a place for practice and combine teaching theory with teaching practice. Angus Mullen knew klopper very early and gave him the chance to coach the club's youth team. It's been a year since Jurgen klopper was head coach of the youth team in madisburg. Although it is only the youth team of level C football team, the vast majority of trainee coaches are also difficult to get such opportunities, most of which is to get a job as assistant coach in the youth team of level C or lower or even amateur teams.At this point, Jurgen klopper is grateful to Angus Mullen.

In this way, a piano teacher and a mixed coach certificate, two college students talk very hot, although the style of painting is very disharmonious, but it does not hinder their high spirits, all of them are a pair of unprofessional faces.

In the end, words should be brought back to the point.

"Drow, can you take part in the training this afternoon?" After receiving a positive response, Jurgen klopper said to Zhuoyang: "well, I'll take you to meet the rest of the team."

After a polite farewell to Chairman Mullen, Zhuoyang and Jurgen klopp headed for the youth team.

The entire madibao club is located on the beautiful peninsula, a quiet road connecting the various components of the club. Victor stadium in the peninsula and the land where the connection, walking through the stadium, next to the club's office building. In the three-story baroque style building, the competition department, youth department, marketing department, finance, personnel and logistics departments are all in it, which is compact and full of five internal organs. Next to the office building is a brand-new white two-story building, which is the location of gym, shower, massage room and medical department. There is also a small restaurant on the first floor. Further on, three standard training grounds are "U" shaped and scattered by the water. Between the three training grounds, neatly manicured gardening and two or three rows of tall birch trees are separated. Along the river bank, a circle of barbed wire is high around the edge of the peninsula.

"The one on the left is the training ground of our youth team. The two on the right are for the first team." Jurgen klopper said to Zhuoyang seriously, "besides, in the team, you can call me sir or coach klopper."

"Yes, sir." Zhuoyang seems to respect his coach.

Chinese children always respect their teachers, even if the teacher looks very unreliable, even if the teacher is not worthy of respect.

When the two men came to the training ground, there were already a lot of people on the training ground. They were all players and assistant coaches of the youth team. They were preparing for the afternoon training.

"Du -" klopper magically took out a whistle from somewhere, blew it hard, and scared Zhuoyang next to him.

"Before training, let me introduce you. This is your new teammate, Zhuoyang. You can call him Zhuo. Zhuo is from China. " With a wave of his arm, chlop said, "Zhuo, first of all, I want you to introduce yourself."

Zhuo Yang's eyes turned and his heart turned. You said everything. What else can I introduce? I took two steps forward and introduced myself to a group of people in front of me. "Hello, my name is Zhuo Yang. I'm 17 years old. I'm from China. Nice to meet you. It's a great honor to be your teammate."

Polite, modest and official, just a few words.

Next, others introduced themselves, including assistant coach Edwin Woolf, fitness coach Edward Graham and goalkeeper coach Gavin Marcus. There is also the captain of the youth team, central defender per Mertesacker, midfielder Nigel de Jong, striker Frank Ribery.

With Zhuo Yang's strong memory ability, he can remember the names, positions, ages and other information of all people.

"Du -" clap's whistle rang again, and Zhuoyang shivered again. "OK, that's the end of the welcome meeting. Now start training. Edwin, continue to follow the training plan. Zhuo, come here. "

"Sir!" Zhuoyang followed Jurgen klopper to the field.

"Now you tell me, where are you good at playing?" Chlop was staring at Zhuoyang.

"Well It's OK in the middle and front court. I don't choose it. " Zhuoyang is honest.

“……” "Which foot are you good at?" asked croop

"Well , right foot. In fact, both my feet are OK. I don't choose. " Zhuoyang is still honest.

“……” Klopper scratched his head. "What stage of professional training have you had?"

"Professional training? What's that? Sir, I'm a passer-by on the court and shoot Well, that's it! " Zhuoyang is always honest.

“……” Chlop was completely speechless. "Well, I see. You go to the training department to pick up the numbers, get the games and training equipment, and then go to Coach Graham, who will give you a series of tests."

Zhuoyang chose No. 18, because No. 18 is the smallest number that can be selected. The youth team players have only numbers on their jerseys and no names.

After the physical test, the afternoon training is over. Zhuoyang's first day's player life also ended in a happy mood, among which the 5000 Euro signing fee was the source of happiness.

In 2002 or so, the semi professional players in the German Football League C have almost lost their traces, but in the youth teams of each team, there are nearly one third of the semi professional players, such as Zhuoyang's part-time players are not uncommon. It's not just the youth teams, most of the first-team clubs only train for half a day.

Many players' nightlife is so rich that they can't get up until more than 11 o'clock the next day, so training in the morning is bullshit.Klopper lives in the club's dorm, can he save money on renting an apartment? In the light of a bright old-fashioned table lamp, chlop looked at the report on Zhuoyang's physical test in his hand.

Zhuoyang's physical fitness test is very simple, the heart and lung function are very normal, height 182 cm, weight 72 kg. Some other data are mediocre among football players. After all, Zhuoyang has not received any professional training, nor any professional training in sports.

Even for simple test data, klopper looked very carefully. From time to time, he would turn the front page back and look again for fear of missing something.

Meanwhile, in the dormitory of Hanover University of music, Zhuoyang was very excited. He turned on the computer, looked at the message, nothing changed, everyone is still like that. Haiyang entered a key high school for further study. Jiushan and laomu began to prepare for conscription for physical examination. There should be no problem.

Zhuoyang wants to share his happiness with others, but he doesn't know who to tell them, because they can't even talk about the ocean for the time being. If it comes to his mother's ears, it's not for fun. As a result, he can only leave messages to his father and mother on the computer.

"Mom and Dad, I found a part-time job teaching a group of children." Strictly speaking, a large part of the players of the youth team of madibu are indeed "children" under the age of 20. "The income is quite good, so you don't need to remit money to me. I can support myself. Is your son strong? "

Zhuoyang is proud and proud. A fox's tail rises high in the Alps at night.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhuo Yang rode his emotional bicycle, came to the club on time and found a place to put his car.

There are already two people in the dressing room talking about leisurely. Seeing Zhuo Yang come in, they say, "Hi, Zhuo."

The super memory Zhuoyang accurately called out their names: "Hi, Pell, hi, Ricardo." Pel Mertesacker is the captain of the youth team, 18 years old, and the main centre back of the youth team. Ricardo Montolivo, midfielder, Italian, is 17 years old.

Zhuoyang, who has been familiar with them since then, has been talking with them. After a while, the players came in again and again, Zhuoyang said hello one by one.

"Hi, nigger."

"Good afternoon, Billy."

"Hello, Duke."

"Hi, Frank."

………………

When everyone was surprised to find that Zhuoyang didn't call anyone by the wrong name, fitness coach Edward Graham pushed the door in.

"Let's go, boys, start training. I hope you're in a good mood today."

The players walked towards the training ground sparsely, but everyone saw Zhuoyang with different eyes.
