Chapter 59
At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Tian finally woke up from his deep sleep, but his drowsy head made him feel uncomfortable. Nester, who lived in the same room with him, was still snoring in his sweet dreams in his bed.
"Have we really won the championship?" When he saw a gold medal on the table, Li Tian confirmed that nothing happened yesterday was a dream. He could not remember the detailed process of the game very clearly. He only remembered that he blocked the opponent's crazy shots again and again. When he saved the opponent's last penalty, the entire field was in full swing. All the teammates and coaches ran towards him and pressed himself under him excitedly. The feeling was so happy and uncomfortable.
The trophy and gold medals belonged to the winners. All members of the Cologne Sports Team who returned to the hotel with the trophy and honor began a crazy celebration. Li Tian, the biggest contributor, became the target of toasting everyone. He never drank wine and didn't know how many glasses of German pure tan beer were forced to be consumed by his teammates and coaches. In the end, he didn't even know how he returned to the room and lay on the bed.
I sat up from the bed, picked up a pot of water on the table and fucked it wildly. The hangover made his throat almost smoke. Then I took a hot shower and woke up a lot. With such a big noise in the room, Nester was still sleeping like a dead pig, which shows how tired he was yesterday.
At half past nine, he walked out of the room, went to the restaurant to eat, and planned to go to the gym to sweat. He had never been so late before. If he didn't move in the morning, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
"Please give me a nutritious breakfast!" Sitting on the chair in the restaurant, he said to the waiter, and Li Tian picked up a Berlin Morning Post placed beside the table.
"The Cologne Sports Academy beat the University of Munich to the penalty kick and won the championship trophy for the first time in ten years!"
"Ten years of grudges, win the sixth decisive battle between Cologne!"
"The Chinese goalkeeper was suddenly seen in the Cologne Sports Institute, and its outstanding performance attracted the attention of many professional clubs!"
"We lost in the end to the opponent's goalkeeper - visiting Munich University coach Schaff Kert."
"The Chinese boy crushed the dream of Munich's six consecutive championships! He blocked the opponent's shots thirty-nine times in the game, and his performance was amazing."
...
The front page of the newspaper is a photo of captain Bensk holding up the trophy. The eye-catching headline reports accounted for almost half of the newspaper's page. The word goalkeeper most appeared in the newspaper. Close-ups of Li Tian and several wonderful saves also appeared in prominent positions. The media also gave him extremely high praise.
Li Tian was very happy to see that he was recognized by the German media, which had always been demanding. At least he brought glory to the Chinese. Just as he was watching the newspaper reports with relish, a young female service delivered the nutritious breakfast he ordered. She looked at him with a few attention, but did not leave immediately, but took out a small notebook and a pen from behind.
"You are Mr. Li Tian from the Cologne Sports Institute team! Can you sign an autograph for me? I watched your team's game yesterday. Your performance was really outstanding!" The waitress was quite excited and handed the paper and pen to Li Tian.
"Signature?" This is the first time in his life that someone asked for an autograph from him. He is also a German female fan. Although he is a celebrity in China and there are many journalists and media who ask him to interview him, he has never had any close contact with sports fans, so there is no way to sign them.
"Are you sure you want to get my signature?" Li Tian was somewhat excited in the face of such a request. Who doesn't have any vanity to young people?
"Of course, you are one of the best goalkeepers I have ever seen. After watching yesterday's game, I decided to be your fan, and I firmly believe that you will become a great player in the future." The waitress nodded affirmatively.
"That's my honor!" Thanks to such praise from a stranger, Li Tian happily took the paper and pen from the waitress and carefully signed his name on it.
"Thank you very much!" The waitress was also very happy to get the signature. Although she didn't know Chinese characters, she still felt that the words "Li Tian" were written very beautifully. After thanking her, she left quietly.
The first time he signed someone else, Li Tian had a good mood. The nutritious breakfast that he usually felt was tasteless and tasteless is now very delicious. After eating breakfast for a while, Li Tian walked to the gym. There were three days left before the opening of the competition, and the track and field competition started on the same day, so he had to hurry up and adjust his condition.
Along the way, I met many people, and many of them took the initiative to say hello to him, and he didn't care much about it. In fact, he didn't know that the last game was not only broadcast live on Berlin TV, but also broadcast to sixteen continents in Germany at the same time. As a competition with the highest level and largest scale in the country, the finals were much more popular than Li Tian imagined. In the finals, Li Tian's outstanding performance was unreserved and presented to all German fans one by one. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the most well-known Chinese in Germany at present.
When he walked to the door of the gym, the most headache happened. More than a dozen German football reporters were waiting here for a long time and immediately surrounded him when they saw the target appear. Fortunately, Li Tian had not dealt with reporters in China, and the scene was definitely much bigger than this. Seeing such a situation, he would not feel like he was going to be despaired. Although he was reluctant, he still had to accept it. After all, this place was abroad and he could not embarrass the Chinese people.
"Hello! Mr. Li Tian, first of all, congratulations on you for winning the title of champion and best player in this football competition."
"Best Player?" Li Tian still doesn't know that he has received this honor.
"Yes, this was obtained by the organizing committee of the event yesterday after selecting more than 350 contestants from 16 participating teams. You are the first person in the history of this competition to receive this honor as a goalkeeper, and the first foreigner to receive this title. The news was just announced this morning." Seeing Li Tian's cooperation, many reporters were not in a hurry to ask questions.
"Mr. Li Tian, I heard that after watching your game yesterday, Magath, the head coach of the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, was very grateful for your performance and asked you for a tryout invitation. Is this really the case?"
"I don't know much about this. I haven't received such news or invitations yet."
"Yesterday, the head coach of Cologne of Bundesliga team Laborde had made it clear that he wanted to invite you to join the team. What do you think about this?"
"Thanks to coach Laborde for his appreciation for me, my level is not yet competent in the Bundesliga."
"So do you plan to enter the professional football world now? After all, many media currently have high praise for you and are very optimistic about your future development."
"I don't have such plans yet. I'm still very young, and maybe there will be such a possibility in the future."
