The calm German canal flows to Hanover, and the water surface suddenly opens up a lot. The river also makes a 40-degree bend here, and continues to leave quietly in the northeast direction in an arc shape.Ww W．

CN Where the river turns, the water surface is extremely open, forming a huge fan-shaped lake. Looking down from a high place, the river water and lake surface look like a huge diamond set on a slender ring setting.

On the diamond lake, there is a small peninsula extending from the 6th site. Madibao Football Club and Victor Football Stadium are located on this peninsula.

After a quick lunch, Zhuo Yang got on his bicycle. He got the bicycle from the campus second-hand market, where there were many various items that his classmates used to exchange or sell. Zhuo Yang fell in love with this bicycle because

It has a bell that goes "bang, clank".

Literary youths always like to use nostalgia to show off their feelings. Zhuo Yang inherited the pseudo-artistic sultriness from his father Zhuo Tongtong’s bloodline. The ringtone of “bang, bang, bang” is like the postman walking down the street in the 1970s.

.

Arriving at Madiburg Football Club, he explained his purpose to the gatekeeper. After the uncle's guidance, Zhuo Yang found Chairman Mullen's office. In the office, he also met the legendary secretary - Sylvia.

After some simple negotiations, Zhuoyang and Chairman Mullen negotiated all the contract terms. Signing a semi-professional youth player is not a complicated matter, let alone the club chairman himself.

A weekly salary of 1,200 euros, a one-year contract, a certain amount of goal bonus and appearance fee. To Zhuoyang's surprise, he also received a signing fee of 5,000 euros.

This was the first time in Zhuoyang's life that he had his own income, and the large amount made him feel like he was suddenly rich.

"Sylvia," Angus Mullen said to his sweet secretary, "go tell Jurgen to come to my place."

Looking at Sylvia with her waist swaying in the wind and walking out with a smile, Zhuo Yang felt a very absurd feeling.

"I just became a semi-professional football player?" Zhuo Yang was a bit dumbfounded. "My mother asked me to come to Germany because I got into trouble playing football at home. I didn't expect that when I got here, I became a football player.

"It's so unpredictable!

The door of the office was pushed open, and a man walked in. Zhuo Yang, who was wandering in a daze, raised his head and looked intently: Oh, what a big man!

I saw that the person who came was wearing a blue sportswear that was both new and old. He was in his early thirties, with bright eyes and eyebrows parted. He was 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a straight back.

He has a very broad step. His face is covered with stubble, and his brown hair is messy and stuck to his forehead. He is slovenly and has a bit of vicissitudes of life. He wears black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, which does not look very harmonious on his flat and wide face.

"Angus, are you looking for me?" the big man said to Chairman Mullen, his voice high and slightly hoarse.

"Jurgen, let me introduce you. This is Zhuo, Zhuo Yang, from China." Angus Mullen stood up and said. "Zhuo, this is Jurgen Klopp, the head coach of the club's youth team.

"

"Hello, Mr. Klopp!" Zhuo Yang looked polite.

"Hello, Zhuo. Are you from China? Well, you speak German quite well." Klopp looked at Zhuo Yang in surprise.

"Thank you, Mr. Klopp, you also speak German very well." Zhuoyang stepped forward and took Klopp's outstretched right hand, shaking it twice.

"Hahahaha, Jurgen, do you see, this is a funny little guy." Chairman Angus Mullen's smile was obviously not high. "Zhuo is my newly signed player, I will hand him over to you.

Yes, I think you will like him."

As a always strong club owner, Angus Mullen takes the initiative to sign a young player. Anyone would think it is normal, and Jurgen Klopp is certainly no exception.

"Jurgen, like you, Zhuo works part-time in the club. He is still a college student, which is the same as you. Zhuo majors in piano at Hannover University of Music, which is a cool major." Chairman Mullen said.

"Wow, is that right? A musician who plays football, an amazing young man." Jurgen Klopp is obviously interested. "I am currently studying football coaching at the German Sport University in Cologne."

Jurgen Klopp was born in 1967. He was once a professional football player and spent most of his career at Mainz Football Club. He followed the Mainz team in the German Football League B.

He wandered in the midfield position, first playing as a forward, and later switching to playing as a defender. At the end of his career, Jurgen Klopp began to study sports at the University of Frankfurt. After officially retiring last year, he entered the German Sports University in Cologne for further studies.

In the coaching major, after graduation, you can obtain an international A-level coaching certificate.

Jurgen Klopp is a correspondence-taught college student. The most important thing is to have a place for internship and combine coaching theory with practical coaching. Angus Mullen has known Klopp for a long time, so he taught him

The opportunity to coach the club's youth team was given to him. Jurgen Klopp has been the head coach of the Madiburg youth team for a year. Although it is only the youth team of the C-level football team, most intern coaches are also difficult.

To get such an opportunity, the most you can do is get an assistant coaching job with a youth team in the C-level or lower level or even an amateur team.

At this point, Jurgen Klopp is still very grateful to Angus Mullen.

Just like this, two college students, a piano student and a mixed instructor, were chatting enthusiastically. Although the style of the painting was very disharmonious, it did not hinder the excitement between them. They both looked like they were not doing their jobs properly.

The conversation will eventually get back to the topic.

"Zhuo, can you participate in training this afternoon?" After receiving a positive answer, Jurgen Klopp said to Zhuoyang: "Okay, I will take you to meet the other members of the team."

After bidding farewell to Chairman Mullen politely, Zhuo Yang and Jurgen Klopp walked towards the youth team.

The entire Madibao Club is located on a beautiful peninsula, with a quiet small road connecting all parts of the club. The Victor Stadium is where the peninsula and the 6th are connected. Walking through the stadium, the club's stadium is next to it.

Office building. In the three-story baroque-style building, various departments such as the athletics department, youth department, marketing department, finance, personnel and logistics are all located in it. It is compact and well-equipped. Next to the office building is a brand new white two-story building.

, which is where the gym, shower room, massage room and medical department are located. There is also a small restaurant on the first floor. Further forward, three standard training fields are scattered in a 'u' shape by the water. Three training fields

It is separated by neatly manicured gardens and two or three rows of tall birch trees. Along the river bank, a ring of barbed wire fences high around the edge of the peninsula.

"The one on the left is the training ground for our youth team, and the two on the right are for the first team." Jurgen Klopp said to Zhuo Yang with some seriousness: "In addition, in the team, you can call

My husband, you can also call me Coach Klopp."

"Yes, sir." Zhuo Yang seemed to have great respect for his coach.

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

When the two people walked to the training ground, there were already many people on the training ground, including youth team players and assistant coaches, who were preparing for the afternoon training.

"Du -" Klopp magically took out a whistle from nowhere and blew it hard, making Zhuoyang next to him tremble.

"Before training, let me introduce you. This is your new teammate, Zhuo Yang, you can call him Zhuo. Zhuo is from China." Klopp waved his arm, "Zhuo, please introduce yourself to everyone first.

"

Zhuo Yang rolled his eyes and said to himself, you have said everything, what else can I introduce? He took two steps forward and introduced himself to the people in front of him seriously. "Hello everyone,

My name is Zhuo Yang, I am 17 years old and I am from China. I am very happy to meet you and I am honored to be my teammate with you."

He was polite, humble and official, and his words were perfect in just a few words.

Next, everyone else introduced themselves, including assistant coach Edwin Woolf, fitness coach Edward Graham, goalkeeper coach Gavin Marcus. There was also the captain of the youth team, center back Pei

Mertesacker, midfielder Nigel de Jong, forward Frank Ribery….

With Zhuo Yang's strong memory ability, after one pass, he could clearly remember everyone's names, locations, ages and other information.

"Beep -" Klopp's whistle sounded again, and Zhuo Yang trembled again. "OK, the welcome meeting is over, now let's start training. Edwin, continue to follow the training plan. Zhuo, come here

one time."

"Sir!" Zhuoyang followed Jurgen Klopp to the side of the field.

"Now tell me, what position are you good at playing?" Klopp stared at Zhuoyang.

"Well... the midfield and frontcourt are all fine, I won't pick." Zhuo Yang was very honest.

"..." Klopp asked again: "Then which foot are you good at?"

"Hmm... let's go with the right foot. Actually, both of my feet are fine, so I won't pick." Zhuo Yang was still very honest.

"..." Klopp scratched his head: "Then what stage of professional training have you received?"

"Professional training? What is that? Sir, I just pass people on the court and then shoot...well, that's it!" Zhuoyang is always honest.

"..." Klopp was completely speechless. "Okay, I understand. You first go to the training department to pick your number, get the game and training tools, and then go to coach Graham. He will do a series of tests for you.

.”

Zhuoyang chose No. 18 because No. 18 is the smallest number that can be chosen. Youth team players only have numbers on their jerseys, not names.

After the physical test, the afternoon training ended. Zhuoyang's first day of player life also came to an end in a happy mood. Among them, the signing fee of 5,000 euros was the source of happiness.

Around 2002, semi-professional players in the German Football League C had almost disappeared, but the youth teams of each team were filled with nearly one-third of semi-professionals and part-timers like Zhuo Yang.

Players are no exception. Not only the youth teams, but also the first teams of most clubs only train for half a day.

Many players' nightlife is beyond imagination, and they often have to sleep until after eleven o'clock the next day, so training in the morning is nonsense.

Klopp lives in the club's dormitory, so he can save money on renting an apartment, right? Under the bright light of an old-fashioned desk lamp, Klopp looked at the report on Zhuoyang's physical test in his hand.

Zhuoyang's physical fitness test is very simple, and his cardiopulmonary function is very normal. He is 182 centimeters tall and weighs 72 kilograms. Some other data are mediocre among football players. After all, Zhuoyang has not received professional training and has no training in any sports.

There is no professional training.

Klopp reads even simple test data very carefully, and from time to time he has to turn back the previous page and look at it again, for fear of missing something.

At the same time, in the dormitory of Hannover University of Music, Zhuo Yang was very excited. He turned on the computer and read the messages. There was no change. Everyone was still the same. Haiyang entered a key high school to repeat his studies, Jiushan

He and Lao Mu started preparing for the military recruitment physical examination. There should be no problem.

Zhuoyang wanted to share the happiness in his heart with someone, but he didn't know who to tell it to, because they couldn't even talk about Haiyang for the time being. If it reached his mother's ears, it would be no joke. As a result,

He could only leave messages to his father and mother on the computer.

"Dad, Mom, I found a part-time job to teach a group of children." Strictly speaking, a large number of the players in the Madiburg youth team are indeed 'children' under the age of twenty. "The income is quite good, so what?

, you don’t need to send me money, I can support myself. Isn’t your son great?”

Zhuo Yang was proud and elated. In the Alps at night, a fox raised its tail high.
