Chapter 44 The Royce Family Party

The next day Klopp once again gave the starting players half a day off as a reward.

Although Xiao Wen only played half of the game, he was also on the award list.

However, nothing happened anyway. In the morning, Xiao Wen went to the training base to practice long passes and free kicks alone.

All this is seen by those who are interested.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Wen and Royce arrived very early.

Klopp had already informed that there would be a regular meeting in the afternoon.

When Xiao Wen walked to the sidelines, he saw Klopp and Lewandowski already standing there, and they were still talking about something.

Xiao Wen and Royce walked towards the two of them.

"Boss." Xiao Wen greeted Klopp, then naturally faced Lewandowski, "Robert"

Lewand's mood at this time was really aggrieved.

He is a star of Melo's level, at least, he thinks so, so he seeks a higher platform.

But now he is still in Dortmund

I thought that as long as he was in Dortmund, he would be the most dazzling star of Dortmund. Unexpectedly, Klopp went to the United States and everything changed.

But he still had to have a smile on his face.

Klopp's words are very direct. You can fight with other people at other times, but in the remaining Champions League games, even if you force yourself, you must do your best.

Humanity is so sophisticated and reality is cruel.

Lewandowski sighed helplessly in his heart, knowing that Dortmund would have a new core.

I originally thought it would happen after I left. At that time, it might be Royce, it might be Mkhitaryan... or it might take a few people combined to make up for the loss of my departure, but I never expected that it would happen.

It will be a young man who came from the winter window and now carries the banner of Dortmund.

"What a great game!"

Lewandowski also extended his right hand.

Klopp looked at the two people shaking hands in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.

Even superficial calmness and unity are enough.

Not long after, everyone arrived.

Klopp's face was red: "Nine consecutive victories! Everyone, we have returned to the state and strength we should have! This is all due to the joint efforts of everyone, so I suggest that we all give ourselves a round of applause."

The whole audience burst into applause.

It's not flattery, but sincerely for the team, and of course you have to be happy for yourself.

Everyone knows how they will fare in the first half of the season, and now they have 9 consecutive wins!

Although it is said that this season's Bundesliga, except for Bayern Munich, is full of rookies, but among the five major leagues, 7 consecutive wins is a small record worth touting anyway, and the two big wins against Zenit in the Champions League

, and also allowed everyone to regain confidence in the next quarter-finals, which is particularly important!

Klopp continued to look at the crowd and concluded: "I won't talk about the little steel cannons in the frontcourt. Your running and involvement in these games are obvious to all. Well, this time I have to give special praise to Xiao Wen. Bundesliga

A hat trick in the Champions League, especially in the Champions League, the youngest hat trick, very good, very good, Xiao Wen, keep working hard!"

Xiao Wen hurriedly took half a step forward and said modestly: "Thank you, boss. These are all due to the joint efforts of everyone. Without everyone's support, I would never have performed like this. Thank you everyone!"

A small burst of applause.

Laiwan glanced at Xiao Wen with complicated eyes.

Others such as Royce Gundogan and Mkhitaryan also looked at Xiao Wen. Everyone had different thoughts about this blockbuster new core.

Klopp nodded, "Let's talk about the next arrangements, or some of our expectations."

The scene started to get a little serious.

"There are still nine rounds of the Bundesliga. To be honest, there is no hope."

Klopp sighed, "But our minimum goal is to ensure the second place. Do you have confidence?"

Everyone shouted loudly: "Yes!"

"That's good." Klopp smiled, "Then our focus should be on the Champions League and the German Cup. However, everyone knows that the top priority is of course the Champions League!"

Everyone agrees on this.

And the most important thing is that two months ago, no one would have thought that Dortmund could go far in the Champions League. After crossing Zenit, it was likely to be a dead end.

But one of the obvious changes in the past two months is that fans of other teams who originally thought Dortmund was a big gift package did not dare to say that they hoped to draw the Hornets!

The meeting is over.

Everyone slowly formed their own teams to do restorative training such as stretching and jogging.

Xiao Wen must be paired with Gundogan and Reus.

Royce hooked Gundogan's shoulder, "Come to my place tonight to watch the live broadcast?"

Gundogan had this intention and said: "Boss Kyle also has this intention, saying that he is organizing a small party..."

Royce interrupted him, "Don't dare to be pornographic!"

Xiao asked: "..."

Gundogan kicked Reus directly.

Near the end, Kyle called everyone over, except of course the coaching staff.

"If there's nothing else to do tonight, come to Royce's house and we'll watch the draw together."

Except for Hoffman and Piszczek, who said there was indeed an emergency at home, everyone else nodded in agreement.

Royce didn't have to prepare it himself, it was all done with just one phone call, wasn't it just money?

Everyone almost took a shower and changed clothes, then arrived at Royce's backyard.

Barbecue desserts, of course, and beer. In short, everything is available, except for the girls.

It can be said that this was an extremely serious and private gathering.

If there seems to be nothing... everyone is still divided into several small groups and chatting.

Under the coordination of captain Kyle, Xiao Wen also went to Lewandowski, Mkhitaryan and others to get a bottle of beer, and they had a pleasant conversation on the surface.

There is a projector placed next to the swimming pool in the backyard, and the images on the projector have already reached the studio.

Not long after, there was only a minute or two left before the drawing ceremony.

Everyone gathered around.

Xiao Wen was very nervous.

Although he has watched various Champions League draws many times on TV, this is the first time it concerns him.

The processes are all very similar.

The draw ceremony was still presided over by UEFA Secretary General Infantino, with Ambassador Figo of the final organizer as a guest. He and Competition Department Director Marchetti completed the draw together.

Before the official draw, Infantino used the big screen to review the exciting moments of the top eight teams in their promotion process, and Xiao Wen saw himself in it.

"You actually appear in the most scenes! Cristiano Ronaldo will be jealous!" Royce hugged Xiao Wen and joked.

Xiao Wen didn't answer directly, and still stared at the big screen. At this time, everyone was talking quietly in tacit understanding, and the atmosphere began to become tense.

There will no longer be a seeded team in the draw for the quarter-finals, and teams from the same national football association do not need to avoid it. Theoretically, they have a chance to run into Bayern Munich!

When many people thought of this, they thought of Gotze and that year's final, and then looked back at Lewandowski.

Lewand's face remained normal, but the knuckles holding the wine bottle in his hand were slightly white, which still betrayed his inner feelings. No one was not nervous, and everyone was looking forward to a good fortune!

However, among the teams that have entered the quarterfinals, which team is the weak team?

Needless to say Bayern Munich.

Manchester United made a strong comeback from a 0:2 disadvantage with a score of 3:0, and it also had the momentum of a leaner camel than a horse.

Needless to say, Barcelona and Real Madrid, their respective tridents are simply a nightmare for defenders of all teams.

Atletico Madrid's persistent pursuit will definitely make every team shed a layer of skin.

Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are two former and current wealthy teams. If you look down on them, you just look down on money!

call.

Xiao Wen felt that his breathing was getting a little heavier.

I confirmed it with Sister Yangyang... The Champions League draw seems to be at noon local time in Europe, but for the sake of plot... Also, please count your votes. Thank you everyone for your support.
