I Just Can Score

The time after dinner is free.

The players can do whatever they want except not being able to walk out of the hotel at will, but they have to go to bed around ten o'clock.

Players get together to play poker.

Others chose to sit on the sofa in the lobby to see if they could meet a beautiful woman with big buttocks. Freberg was taken by Gene to do this. They also wanted to take Zhen Shaolong to go together. It's called, "If you have a goal, it's easy to talk to you when you're around."

Zhen Shaolong refused to betray his looks and chose to stay in his room.

Kruse kills the time by playing games.

Zhen Shaolong practiced yoga.

"I remember you have a very good yoga instructor." Kruse looked at Zhen Shaolong's standard yoga movements, and commented with a pun, "It seems that you have worked hard together, and the results are very remarkable. These movements are really good. So standard!"

Zhen Shaolong ignored him.

Kruse followed suit with interest, but he couldn't keep up with just one leg stretching, and he couldn't hold on for too long.

"It's too difficult, I don't know how you persisted."

"But it's no use, we're going to play football, not dance..."

This means that if you can't eat grapes, you can say that the grapes are sour. Zhen Shaolong didn't bother to pay attention, so he continued to do yoga, and Kruse continued his game.

Zhen Shaolong finished a set of yoga and found that Kreutzer was still playing games, so he couldn't help asking, "What are you playing? So attractive?"

"A football game."

Cruzer explained, "It's very famous. There are various teams in it. The names and statistics of players will refer to reality, and they can control the match."

Zhen Shaolong understood, and asked, "Is there St. Pauli?"

"Of course, I chose St. Pauli." Kruse said a little depressed, "Just now I played St. Pauli against Bayern and lost four games in a row. In one game, I lost three goals. The best time was 1 2, there is no way to win. It is too difficult."

Zhen Shaolong is not interested in Kruse's operational level, what he cares about is, "Am I among the St. Pauli players?"

Kruse shook his head, "No! It's the data from August last year, and it doesn't include me."

"Of course you will lose."

"??"

"Without you...the most important thing is without me." Zhen Shaolong said as a matter of course, "How could the team win Bayern without me?"

Kreuzer thought about it carefully, and nodded, "That's right. But Zhen, I found that you have become more and more thick-skinned recently. When you praise yourself, it seems to be stating the truth, as if what you said is true. I believed everything I said.”

"To each other, your level of irony has also risen rapidly."

————

The next morning, all St. Pauli had breakfast in the hotel restaurant, and Freiberg and Jean were not seen for a long time.

"What did Frey do? Is it really..."

Kruse guessed.

Zhen Shaolong immediately shook his head and said, "Fabian was just scaring him! It's not true, no matter how perverted Jin is..."

Here comes Freiberg.

Freberg followed Gene, and the two arrived together. Gene sat next to Bor and immediately complained, "This guy sleepwalks at night, and he actually swims into the corridor!"

Bole smiled.

Holding the dinner plate, Freberg found Zhen Shaolong's place. His eye circles were a little red, and he obviously didn't sleep well. His statement was completely different from Gene's, "This guy snores, grinds his teeth, and talks in his sleep. I'm really Enough! One night! It lasted a whole night, and I didn't know if I fell asleep. In the middle of the night, I simply went to the corridor..."

The eyes of the others were full of sympathy.

The entire team, that is, Zhen Shaolong, Kruse, and Freiberg, the three players who were promoted to the first team halfway, didn't know what it was like for Gene to sleep, but everyone else had a clear understanding.

Gene has all the vices of sleep.

It's quite remarkable that Freiberg can stay up all night,

Once Schultz was assigned to be with Gene, and he only lasted two hours before he simply asked the front desk to open a private room.

When Freberg heard his teammates say this, he had deep doubts about his IQ, "Why didn't I think of that!"

It's not his fault either.

It is the first time to participate in a big competition with the team, and subconsciously feel that we should obey the rules, which is also a very normal idea.

Zhen Shaolong gave him a sympathetic look.

eight o'clock.

All St. Pauli players gathered, starting from the entrance of the hotel, ran for three kilometers along the street, and arrived at the temporary training ground.

This is also considered a warm-up.

Many passers-by on the road waited and watched, and couldn't help talking about it——

"This is St. Pauli!"

"They're going to play Bayern this afternoon!"

"It's really a small club, not a single familiar star!"

"Look, the one in the middle is Zhen, I know, he scored three goals against Hertha Berlin!"

"..."

St. Pauli's training ground is a small temporarily rented field belonging to a private middle school in the west of Berlin.

This small stadium is a bit shabby.

The turf is only industrially produced, and there is no fence around it. People can walk in directly. Fortunately, there are security personnel who block it with prohibition lines on the outside.

The reporters and fans who came to watch watched from the outside in a disciplined manner.

There is nothing to say about the training content.

The game is about to start that day. The players only need to warm up and adjust their state. During the intervals of training, players can also go outside the field to accept interviews with media reporters. Bergmann will not stop him, because St. Pauli Come to participate in the German Cup final, even if you can't beat Bayern Munich in the end, it's good to do some publicity to get famous.

After training in the morning, Zhen Shaolong also accepted an interview. Compared with other teammates, he was undoubtedly the most popular among the reporters. Just as he walked out of the edge of the court, a large group of reporters surrounded him.

Zhen Shaolong smiled friendly.

A reporter asked him to talk about the game in the afternoon, which was also a key question in the interview.

Zhen Shaolong said frankly, "I am looking forward to the game, and the whole team is looking forward to it. The German Cup final is a big stage, and everyone hopes to perform well."

"Have you thought about winning?"

"Of course." Zhen Shaolong said affirmatively, "Everyone, facing any competition, will hope to win. This victory represents the championship, and no one does not want the championship."

He continued, "But for me, it's meaningless to talk about winning or losing now. The game hasn't started yet. As a striker, what I need to do is to go to the game and try to help the team score goals!"

Zhen Shaolong's frank statement won the favor of many reporters.

Journalists don't huddle together.

The reporters who came from Munich still wanted to embarrass Bayern Munich's opponents. Some reporters immediately said, "You are the top scorer in the German second division. In the German Cup, you are one of the best players so far and St. Pauli's best player." Player." A compliment was very pleasant to the ear, but immediately the content became, "Have you ever thought that if you perform well in the game, you may be favored by Bayern and have the opportunity to join Bayern?"

This question is tricky.

As a St. Pauli player, it is not a big deal to say that he wants to join his opponent Bayern Munich. After all, the two teams are very different, but at a critical moment when the two sides are about to play against each other, it is a bit too much to say so.

Zhen Shaolong doesn't have much experience in interviews, because of the restrictive effect of "Reality", his mind will not be on "how to deal with the media", even if he knows how to deal with it, many times he can't say it at all.

He simply said, "I didn't think about it at all. It doesn't matter. I don't think it is something to be proud of being favored by Bayern. Now I am representing St. Pauli and I am going to play against Bayern. All I need to do is Do what you can to help the team win!"

This sentence immediately made the Hamburg media smile.

The Munich media put on a dark face and labeled Zhen Shaolong as 'arrogant'.

afternoon.

All members of St. Pauli took a bus and drove into the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

The history of the construction of this stadium is interesting.

In 1912, the International Olympic Committee selected Berlin as the host city for the 1916 Summer Olympics. The German government originally planned to build a new main stadium in Charlottenburg, west of Berlin. Later, the plan was shelved and the architect Otto- Maher designed the main venue, the Deutsche Stadion, but the Games were canceled due to the outbreak of World War I.

After the First World War, a professional sports academy was built near the location of the venue, and Otto Maher's son Wiener Maher and the brothers Walter Maher were appointed between 1926 and 1929. Design of the academy's extension, the Deutsche Sportsplatz.

This is the predecessor of the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

Forty years later, in order to prepare for the World Cup, the stadium underwent a seat expansion project, and the audience seats were expanded to 20,000 before it became a standard stadium.

The venues at that time were still very dilapidated, because the history was too long, and they were neglected for a long time. In 1997, in order to apply for the 2000 Olympic Games, the city of Berlin paid attention to the Olympic Stadium and planned to invest a large sum of money for it. The stadium has made a reconstruction plan to bring the venue to a true 'five-star' standard.

The renovation lasted four years.

The current Berlin Olympic Stadium is already one of the most luxurious stadiums in Germany, capable of accommodating 75,000 spectators.

What is the first impression of a stadium with such a capacity?

"Big!"

"really big!"

After warming up with the team and formally entering the field, Zhen Shaolong and Kruse exclaimed "big" in unison.

"During the competition later, tell me, will the seats be full?" Cruze looked around and asked Zhen Shaolong.

"It should be, this is the final, and Bayern."

"I'm glad I didn't start now."

"why?"

"There are too many audiences, I'm sure my legs will be weak!"

"So you're a soft-legged shrimp!"

"You are the soft-legged shrimp!"

Zhen Shaolong joked with Kluzer, and his nervousness was relieved. Even if the fans hadn't entered the stadium, he would feel a little nervous just thinking about 70,000 to 80,000 fans sitting in the stands.

That is inevitable.

Even though he has performed very well in past competitions, it is the first time he has been on such a big stage.

This is the big stage!

Zhen Shaolong felt a surge of excitement, when he was warming up with his teammates, he hoped that the game would start soon.

The warm-up is over.

All the players went back to the locker room and received a short lecture from Bergman. They generally said things like 'don't be nervous' and 'calm down', which were of no practical use, because it wasn't that they were not nervous. You can not be nervous.

Anyway, Zhen Shaolong still felt a little nervous, but he tried his best to appear calm.

When he was in the player tunnel, Zhen Shaolong found that he was still very calm. Behind him, Kruse and Freberg were about to turn into ordinary fans—

"Look! Kahn!" Cruze exclaimed.

"Barack! I really want to go over and get an autograph! I like Barack the most! He is my idol!"

"If I can play, I'll have to trade jerseys with them. It doesn't matter who it is."

"Let you choose?"

"Salihamidzic!"

"Why? He's not famous..." Freberg's voice was a little too loud for the curly-haired Salihamidzic to hear.

Kruse still said to himself, "We are in the same position."

Zhen Shaolong was standing in front of Kruse and many Bayern Munich players, including Ballack in front of them.

"Perhaps they will think that I said it?" Zhen Shaolong felt depressed, he took several steps forward consciously, until he got behind Boer, he felt a lot more comfortable.

Bol looked back.

Zhen Shaolong said calmly, "If someone asks, don't say that I know the two guys behind, they are not St. Pauli players."

Bor nodded in agreement, "They probably got in here, I've never seen them before."

"me too."

It's finally time to play.

After experiencing the baptism of the conversation between the two of Kruse, Zhen Shaolong thickened his skin a lot. He trotted into the stadium with the team, turned his head and glanced around the fan stands, and the crowd didn't feel too excited.

"Just a game."

he told himself.

As the two teams entered the stadium, the radio also began to introduce the players of the two teams. Because the game is played on a neutral stadium, the stadium broadcast introduction will not be biased.

The names of the Bayern Munich players were read out --

"Barack!"

"Ram!"

"Pissaro!"

The name of each Bayern star can cause applause and cheers from the fans in the stands, which can be heard clearly even in the middle of the stadium.

This is the time to test the star's reputation.

Ballack, the star of Bayern Munich, caused the biggest cheers. There were shouts everywhere in the stands, and the fans gave huge support. Salihamidzic mentioned by Kruse just burst into applause. The distance and time of sound transmission is very short, which is just a polite practice of some fans.

Finally it was St. Pauli's turn.

"Henarev."

"Bor."

"Sullentic."

The radio shouts of fame are weak, but when it comes to the support of the fans, there is only polite applause, and some don't even catch up with the 'politeness'.

"And then, No. 13 Zhen."

The broadcast probably felt that Zhen Shaolong was no different, and shouted in a low tone, but the reaction of the fans was completely different. Following the speeches of 'No. 13' and 'Zhen', enthusiastic cheers erupted from the stands- -

"Zhen!"

"Goal!"

"Zhen!"

"Goal!"

Zhen Shaolong's name was connected with "goal", and the German happened to be very fluent, and many fans followed suit.

The cheers and applause in the stands suddenly climbed to a higher level.

Even if it is not as good as Ballack, Kahn and other stars, it is still much better than the inferior Bayern Munich players.

This is probably due to the number of St. Pauli fans.

There are tens of millions of St. Pauli supporters in Germany, and there are millions of pure fans. Berlin is not far from Hamburg, and it must be much closer than Munich in the south. There are many St. Pauli fans who come here, even in the Berlin area There are also many St. Pauli supporters.

The number of St. Pauli fans present is no less than that of Bayern Munich fans.

It is difficult for other St. Pauli players to arouse the interest of fans. They support St. Pauli, but it is difficult for players to get support for their poor performance.

Zhen Shaolong is different,

Zhen Shaolong's performance was very good, because he played for St. Pauli, his reputation also rose rapidly. Many St. Pauli supporters immediately shouted their support.

The shouts were superimposed one by one, so that everyone in the field could hear them clearly.

Zhen Shaolong felt very excited!

It doesn't seem to matter what I'm nervous about now, with the support of so many fans, I must work hard to perform!

The Bayern Munich stars were also very surprised.

No. 13?

Zhen?

This is the player who scored a lot of goals mentioned by Mr. Magath? He was able to get the support of so many fans.

Really can't underestimate it!
