Chapter 174 Looking for a New Burger Star
"Wake up slob", Mia calls Stan out of bed as she opens the curtains.
Stan looked at Mia who was dressed, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Morning".
"I have already ordered breakfast for you, ham and cheese sandwich, authentic hamburger breakfast, you try",
"Don't you Hamburgers like burgers the most?"Stan asked.
"Hehe, it is carried forward by the Americans. It has little to do with us Hamburgers. We Hamburgers don't like to eat hamburgers," Mia said.
"Oh",
Mia looked at Stan and said, "Okay, I'm leaving".
"Then you..promise me," Stan said.
"I will contact the team leader, but it may not be possible. If he is willing to answer the phone, I can tell him to call you and wait for the call." Mia gestured to answer the phone.
"Thank you," Stan said.
After Mia left, Stan slept for a while, then got up and had breakfast. Not to mention, the breakfast Mia ordered was quite delicious.
After breakfast, Stan tried to contact friends from the Football Association, but still no one answered the phone. After all, not everyone is a workaholic like Stan.
Stan walked to the window, although it was a cloudy day, but Stan shouted to the distance full of expectation, 2012, here I come!Stan knew that this year he would face far more challenges than last year.
*****
Around lunch time, the cell phone rang. Stan quickly picked up the call. It was the team leader of the Hamburg team.
"Then can you tell me the contact information of Lin Zhijian's agent?"
The other party paused, and finally told Stan that Lin Zhijian's current agent is his father, and he can give him a contact information.
"No, it's better to be the address", Stan thought about making a phone call like this, and in all likelihood, he couldn't say anything, and the other party hung up.
The other party was in a bit of a dilemma. It was illegal to do so, but Stan couldn’t control that much. In fact, it was illegal for Stan to do so. The Turks contacted “Basturk” in a sneaky way. After all, he is a German nationality, and the German team has the right to choose first.
Stan thought of Mia, "I'm Mia's friend, you can rest assured that I'm not some crazy groupie".
With Mia's guarantee, the other party finally told Stan Lin Zhijian's home address.
Stan yelled in his heart, "YA", with Stan's persistence of "Cheng Men Lixue", he didn't believe that he couldn't convince Lin Zhijian's family, and he really couldn't stand in front of their house tonight.
*****
Stan called Weiss, and Weiss readily agreed to pick him up. In about half an hour, Weiss took Stan to the place where Lin Zhijian lived—a very ordinary two-story building in Germany. Obviously Lin Zhijian, who had just emerged, had not yet had the ability to move to a luxury house.
"Weiss, is there anything you need to pay attention to when visiting a German family?"
"Nothing", then Weiss pointed to the wine barrel in Stan's hand (about the size of a water dispenser bucket), "go to a German house as a guest, bring a barrel of dark beer, even if you are a gangster, they are welcome."
Stein thought to himself: "How much the Germans love beer".
"Okay, thanks, Wes",
"Need me to pick you up"?
Stan didn't know when to go back, maybe there would be a "protracted battle", so he said, "No, I'll go back by myself."
Weiss made a goodbye gesture, "Remember to give the beer to the owner as soon as you enter the door, they will like you."
*****
After watching Weiss leave, Stan walked towards Lin Zhijian's house.
When knocking on the door, Stan remembered that Lin Zhijian's father was from Hong Kong, so he planned to say hello later in Cantonese, which seemed friendly and could shorten the distance between each other.
After a while, a middle-aged man opened the door, "Hi Ray," Stan said to the other with a smile.
But Stan's well-prepared hello seemed useless. The other party looked at Stan with a "what the hell" expression, and then asked Stan babbling, and Stan said, "Sorry, Chinese and English are fine, I don't know German."
Papa Lin looked at the Caucasian man in front of him and thought: "Today is January 1st, not April 1st. I met a Caucasian man who can speak Chinese in a foreign country"?
But in the end, Papa Lin still said impatiently: "Chinese, if you really know it."
The atmosphere was awkward. Stan remembered what Weiss had said, and sent out the beer barrel in his hand. Father Lin saw the gift and knew that it was a guest. He guessed that it might be his son's teacher, or a friend, so he made way for Stan to come in.
After coming to the living room, Stan asked, "Where is Jimmy Lin?"
"As expected, he is Zhijian's friend," Papa Lin thought to himself.
"Going out to buy something",
Father Lin asked Stan to sit down. After he sat down, Stan encountered another problem. Is the family in front of him considered Westerners or Easterners?Should I be more reserved, or should I be more straightforward?
Stan decided to introduce himself first. He took out his mobile phone, called up the news that he had taken office, and then handed the mobile phone to Papa Lin.
Father Lin looked at the phone screen, then at Stan, and said a little excitedly, "You are the head coach of the Chinese national team"?
Stan nodded.
Papa Lin stood up and asked, "Coach Stan, do you want beer, coffee, or tea"?
Stan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want anything, and then signaled Papa Lin to sit down.
"Papa Lin, can I call you Papa Lin"?
"sure",
"Then let me put it bluntly, I am here this time to hope that your son can join the Chinese national team led by me."
After listening to Stan’s words, the smile on Lin’s father’s face disappeared in an instant. He is Lin Zhijian’s agent. He has his own plan for his son’s career. First, he wants to gain a foothold in Hamburg, and then he joins a strong team in Germany—Dortmund, Leverkusen, and Bayern. Finally, he wants to be selected for the German national team and become an outstanding immigrant player like Ozil.
Go back to China to play football?To be honest, Papa Lin never thought about it.
Seeing the expression on Papa Lin's face, Stan knew that today's task was very difficult.
Stan stands up and turns around and says, "Is there no one in the house?"
Father Lin replied: "No".
"That's good, we can talk openly and honestly, you can rest assured that I am not a young man",
After listening to Stan's words, Papa Lin smiled.
"Coach, then I'll just say it straight, don't you mind",
"certainly",
But the first sentence of Papa Lin's head and face made Stan a little difficult to resist. Papa Lin asked, "Why?"
Sometimes the shorter the question, the more powerful it is, yeah, why?
"Because Lin Zhijian is Chinese"?Of course not, Stan thought.
"Why? Good question, because I can take him to the World Cup in Brazil."
After listening to Stan's answer, Lin's father smiled, "The German team can also take Zhijian to Brazil. Excuse me, the probability should be 100 times greater than that of the Chinese team."
Stan chuckled and took a step forward, looking very oppressive. He asked lightly, "Why?"
"Is this ghost hitting the wall"?Papa Lin thought.
"I mean what makes your son into the German team"?
Papa Lin became upset, his expression changed, and he said, "You mean my son doesn't deserve to be in the German team"?
"Excuse me too, but that's what I meant," Stan said.
"you".
To be honest, Stan's words are a little unreasonable, but Lin's father's tone is not good, and the two sides have reached a deadlock.
Stan took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Your son can play right back and right midfielder. The German team has captain Lahm on the right back, and Reus, Gotze and Schurrle on the right midfielder."
"Okay, stop talking," Father Lin said.
"Marin, Müller, Caligiuri, even Podolski could play in that position," Stein continued.
Seeing Stan go on and on, Lin's father suddenly stood up and said, "Coach Stan, I'm afraid I have to see off the guests."
The other party was about to issue an order to evict the guest, so Stan closed his mouth, but the expression on his face remained the same, which seemed to mean, "Tell me, none of the people I just mentioned is better than your son. Why should the German team take your son to Brazil?"
After a minute, both parties calmed down. During this minute, Papa Lin slowly transformed from being outraged at the beginning to being rational. After thinking about it carefully, Stan's words were harsh, but the reasoning was correct.
But Papa Lin didn't want to show weakness in front of Stan. He pointed to the door and said, "My wife has gone to Austria, so I can't entertain you today."
This is an obvious eviction order. If Stan doesn’t leave, he will be ignorant. Before leaving, Stan left a sentence-"In China, we take Lin Zhijian as a treasure, and in Germany...", Stan didn't go on, just sneered, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
*****
In winter in Germany, it gets dark after 3 p.m., and at dinner time, Papa Lin and Zhijian Lin had dinner together.
Seeing that his father was out of his mind, as if he had something on his mind, Lin Zhijian asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm a little worried about your mother, the weather is bad these days",
Lin Zhijian wondered, when will the winter weather in Germany be better? Do you think it is in Hong Kong?
In order to make his father happy, Lin Zhijian said: "Dad, let me tell you a strange thing that happened to me today".
"Well, you say".
"When I came back today, I saw a man standing at the door of our house, looking at our house like that. I went up and asked him if he needed any help, and he just smiled,"
"What"?Papa Lin asked in surprise, "When did it happen?"
"When I came back an hour ago",
Papa Lin pushed away the chair and walked quickly to the door, "If it's true, then Stan stood outside the house for 3 hours"?Papa Lin thought to himself, you must know that the temperature outside the Hamburg house is minus 11 degrees.
When Papa Lin opened the door and looked out through the dim light in the house, Papa Lin's eyes were wet.
