From the Country Team To the Rich

After leaving Zhang Xian's office, Zarno walked to the training ground silently with his head down.

Zarno was relieved to be able to stay at Hoffenheim.

He is not a scumbag, why must he stay, because he feels that Hoffenheim can take him to a higher stage.

Now is not the time for him to leave.

There is always dissatisfaction, and no one wants to lose the position of the main force.

But he understands that he is not the type of player the head coach needs.

But he doesn't accept his fate. In this case, he becomes the kind of player that Hoffenheim needs.

For this reason, he approached Eric Scherff.

Scherff is doing bench press training, and the exploding muscle circumference on his chest and arms looks extremely hideous.

Zarno stood aside, and after several bench presses, Scherff put the barbell into the slot, wiped his cheeks with a towel and said, "So, you want to train strength?"

Zarno nodded and said, "Yes, I need to become stronger."

Scherff looked at Zarno suspiciously and said, "You have always been a flexible player, why don't you make good use of your advantages?"

Zarno sullenly said, "Because the club doesn't need this advantage!"

Scherff sighed inwardly.

He knew that Koch was building a midfielder like a scavenger, and even Gray was thrown to himself by him, asking Scherff to make Gray gain weight within a month.

Zarno's size is really not suitable for this type of player, because his frame is too small.

However, Zarno seems to insist on this.

"Okay then." Scherff is not an unkind person, he said with a smirk: "Dude, you have to be prepared to fail!"

After speaking, the two began to practice.

Scherff is a good strength coach, he knows how to transform Zarno.

From the very beginning, he trained Zarno's core strength, trying to make him more adaptable to confrontation.

In fact, Scherff was also a player. He thought about his future, an interception and stealing machine.

But Scherff's body is too bulky and has no strength, but he can't make deft steals.

But Zarno is obviously very suitable. This guy is only 1.175 meters tall. He is considered a dwarf in football, but it also means that the chassis is stable.

And from the previous data, he can clearly feel that Zarno has excellent ball path prediction ability, which may make Zarno a player type who specializes in interception and stealing.

 …

In the training ground, Hoffenheim players are actively preparing for the new season.

Gray looked at the training ground, a little dazed.

Since the start of the season, some familiar faces have left.

For example, Morsi has gone to the German third team Saarbrücken to report, officially starting his high-level league career.

At the same time, there are a few more unfamiliar faces in Hoffenheim, like Mario and Wei Rauch.

It was also from this moment that Gray finally felt the cruelty of professional football.

Yes, a lot of people will be cleared out if they don't keep up with the team.

Not only is Zarno not suitable for the current lineup, he was almost asked to be transferred by the club. Fortunately, Zarno is willing to cut his salary and stay in Hoffenheim.

Groups of old people leave, and groups of newcomers settle in.

This is professional football!

All for better grades, all for climbing higher, the people gathered together for this.

Snapped!

Gray was patted on the shoulder, turned his head to look, Dulan Bob stood aside, and said with a smile: "What are you looking at?"

Gray pointed forward.

Duran Bob played in the direction and saw Wei Rauch who was training with free kicks.

"How do you feel?" Duran Bob asked.

Gray scratched his head and said, "It feels like I'm playing a different kind of ball with him."

In the latest training match, Gray was hit hard.

He also played the role of Hoffenheim's midfield commander, but compared to Wei Rauch, he is too inferior.

Seeing Gray's depressed face, Dulan Bob smiled and said, "He has played in the real top leagues. Even though he is not in the top five leagues, he is still far ahead of you in terms of vision and ability. In fact, you can try Get in touch with him, I believe you can learn a lot from him."

Gray scratched his head and said, "But he doesn't talk much."

"Then you will pester him and talk to you." After finishing speaking, Duran Bob turned his mouth towards one place.

Gray looked at the past, and he found that Zarno turned into Mario's little tail, chasing and asking questions all the way, and made some attempts at time.

Although Mario is not very willing to talk to him, but sometimes he will give pointers.

Looking at this scene, Duran Bob smiled and said, "Zarno's movements are faster than yours, he's already wrapped around Mario."

Hearing this, Gray couldn't help taking a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to walk towards Wei Rauch.

 …

The day of the first round of training matches arrived.

Led by general manager Conrad, the Nierdorf first team arrived on time.

Starting at one o'clock in the afternoon, the training match officially started.

This is the moment to test the strength of Hoffenheim.

However, for 90 minutes, Hoffenheim stayed in the penalty area, and it was difficult to pass the ball to the frontcourt. The few passes were made by Wei Rauch retreating to catch the ball, and then he barely played a wave of offensive.

A long and difficult defense followed.

After the whole game, there was no goal.

Neither Zhang Xian nor Conrad was satisfied with this result.

Conrad was dissatisfied with playing a sixth-tier team with such a slow attack.

No matter what they say, they are also a team in the northern region, and it ended in a draw, which is simply ugly.

Zhang Xian was also very dissatisfied, but his dissatisfaction was that under Nierdorf's attack, Hoffenheim couldn't find a chance to play the ball at all, and had to rely on Wei Rauch's retreat every time.

Azoko, who frequently kicked wonderful passes last season, this game was completely misfired.

But in any case, the strength has been tested. Facing the strong teams in the northern region, Hoffenheim can still hold on for 90 minutes without conceding a goal, which is already commendable.

...

Two days later, the Saarbrücken club came to participate in the training match.

If the last round of training was considered evenly matched, then facing an all-main Bundesliga team, Hoffenheim was directly abused and cried.

The back line, which is usually proud of, was directly smashed into a sieve by Saarbrücken, let alone a counterattack, even the defense was very reluctant.

The final score came to 6:1.

Hohenheim scored a goal at the last moment, but no one thought it was an honorable thing, and the opponent obviously let it go in order not to hurt face.

After the game, Saarbrücken's general manager Berstor was all smiles, looking satisfied.

This guy seems to be doing it on purpose. After all, in the German Cup last season, they were defeated by Hoffenheim and lost all face.

This game is his revenge.

After two training games, Hoffenheim's morale became a bit sluggish.

This is something Zhang Xian doesn't want to see.

He also felt that he was a little dereliction of duty, as if he had arranged a team that was too strong. It can only be said that the recent rapid development of Hoffenheim made Zhang Xian a little inflated.

I thought that the Bundesliga team was also a rookie who kneaded at will, but in the end, the rookie was me.

On August 1st, the German Football Association finally released a schedule to promote the league.

Due to the recent internal turmoil in the German Football Association, the schedule is a little bit late, but it is not harmful.

The promotion league will officially start on the 9th, the first game, Hoffenheim will play against Turkish forces at home!

Seeing the name of the team, Zhang Xian's eyes flashed a strange light.

'It's still a narrow road to Yuanjia! '

He remembers very clearly that before he stepped into the football field, there were a total of three teams in front of him.

The Meteors, Odinson, and...Turkish Power!
