From the Country Team To the Rich

In mid-July, Hoffenheim issued a call-up order, and they needed to prepare for the upcoming new season.

On the day before the summoning order, Kuslian and Carlos came to Hoffenheim.

Zhang Xian received them personally. Although it was not a big signing, so there was no joining ceremony for them, Zhang Xian still led them around the room of honor.

Hoffenheim's honor room is separate and has three floors.

Today, the first floor is an open area, while the second and third floors are still closed.

The reason for the blockade is simply that there are not so many trophies.

Even the first floor, Hoffenheim was not filled.

But even so, Hoffenheim's rich trophy pool was an eye-opener for both.

"Hoffenheim has gone from low-level leagues to the Champions League in the past ten years. It can be said that Hoffenheim has experienced all levels of leagues and has most of the trophies!"

Zhang Xian pointed forward, under the warm golden light, all kinds of trophies and gold medals were shining brightly.

The most in the middle is undoubtedly the German Cup championship disc, the Europa League championship trophy and the first German Super League championship trophy just won last season.

But the eyes of the two did not focus on this, but admired the trophies of other leagues.

Zhang Xian did not lie. Among the seven leagues in Germany, Hoffenheim has won the championship in six leagues.

Although some low-level leagues don't even have trophies, just a gold medal, they still enrich Hoffenheim's trophy pool.

This also gives Hoffenheim's honor room a special charm.

In addition to these trophies, there are also some players' jerseys and legendary back numbers exclusive to Hoffenheim, etc...

These things together constitute Hoffenheim's existing honor, which is also what Hoffenheim fans are proud of.

"This is really cool!"

Kuslian kept looking around the room of honor.

He has seen many honor rooms, many of which include the honor room of the King of Madrid who has 7 Champions League trophies.

But even there it didn't feel that way to him.

If it is said that the King of Madrid is a natural giant.

Then Hoffenheim feels to him like a super potential team that is on the rise.

The most important thing is that everything here is an honor created in recent years.

Kuslian is in such a wealthy team, and he is used to hearing their glorious past.

To be honest, at that time Kuslian was only forced to show an expression of approval, but he didn't feel anything in his heart.

He doesn't have much affection for teams that show off their past.

In his view, honors are constantly being created, and his arrival will give the team more honors.

So, the feeling that Hoffenheim is creating honor is great for him.

It gave him a real sense of participation!

Honor is not in the past, but in the present!

Compared with Kuslian's attitude towards Buddhism, Carlos is ambitious.

He is standing in front of a background wall.

It's a young face, wearing the No. 9 shirt for Hoffenheim.

The man's name is Morsi.

He is one of Hoffenheim's legendary stars. Although he has retired, he can still occupy such an important position in Hoffenheim's honor room, which shows his influence.

Carlos, on the other hand, looked at the background wall enviously, unable to look away for a long time.

"Morsi didn't reach the top league until he was 29!"

A voice suddenly came from next to his ear, Carlos came back to his senses, and saw Zhang Xian beside him.

Zhang Xian put his hands behind his back, looked at the background board in front of him, and showed a smile; "Although Morsi did not make much contribution to the promotion of Hoffenheim, he was active in the top competitions and the Champions League. That's why he's here in encouraging Hoffenheim."

Zhang Xian turned to look at Carlos and said, "Hoffenheim has cultivated many stars, such as Biartini, Alex, Gian, Button, Jamie, etc... But if Hoffenheim Fans choose the strongest player in their hearts and they will vote for Morsi without hesitation."

"It's not that Morsi is really stronger than them, it's that Morsi has always been a beacon for Hoffenheim fans."

"He's up ahead, he's been there for a while, giving Hoffenheim a light on the way forward!"

"Hoffenheim currently has two legendary numbers, namely No. 4 representing the captain and..."

Zhang Xian pointed to the painting and reported; "Morsi's number 9!"

Carlos' eyes became hot, and Zhang Xian couldn't help laughing secretly; "But the current No. 9 jersey is worn by Varim. If you have the ability, you can try to take it off!"

"I will work hard!"

Carlos replied harshly.

Zhang Xian also nodded in satisfaction. He doesn't dislike such ambitious players. On the contrary, those players who are too modest make him feel worse.

Afterwards, Zhang Xian brought the two back to the office.

The three of them sat on the reception sofa, and there were two contracts on the coffee table.

"This is your respective contract, I hope you will not disclose your salary!"

Hearing this, both of them nodded slightly.

There is definitely a salary gap between the two.

After all, compared to Carlos, Kuslian has greater commercial value, and will give more money for it.

But Carlos doesn't mind, he believes that he can earn more rewards through hard work.

"no problem!"

"I have no problem either!"

The two responded one after another.

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Next is your back number. I'm sorry to inform you that the traditional numbers are no longer available. You need to choose those unpopular numbers."

"I want number 33!" Kuslian said.

This is his back number when he first entered the profession.

As for Carlos, he said, "I want number 99."

This is the goal he gave himself, and he believes that one day, he will pick off another 9.

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Very good, you can go for a physical examination after you sign the contract, and if you pass the physical examination, you will officially join Hoffenheim."

After speaking, Zhang Xian got up and walked to the desk, and made a phone call.

Soon Neumann walked in and led the two to a medical examination.

And Zhang Xian went back to his desk and sat down.

He took out a document from the drawer on the right, which was the plan for the 2021/2022 season.

This is what they need to accomplish.

But one of the important ones is marked with a red bottom line.

Champions League?

There is a question mark behind it, which means that even Zhang Xian is not sure.

Although Hoffenheim have performed well in the previous two seasons, it is not certain that they will continue to do so this season.

Still, it's good to have goals.

They have already won two league championships, and Hoffenheim's strength is also growing visible to the naked eye.

He feels that Hoffenheim still has a certain probability of winning the Champions League.

As long as they don't have any accidents.

Steven's side will not be aggressive anymore, after all, last season's aggressiveness cost him enough.

Therefore, this season, Hoffenheim will go all out to sprint for the Champions League!

Even, at the right time, they will shout out the phrase 'goal! Top of Europe slogan! '
