Chapter 121 51 Sebena Avenue ([-])
After a long period of darkness, the sun suddenly shines in. Although there is dark glass as a barrier, it is still difficult for people to adapt for a while.
This is how Li Qiao felt when he took the elevator up from the subway. The Munich subway goes deep underground, and he will feel this way when he takes the elevator up from below, especially when he first reaches the ground.
Get out of the subway elevator, and walk a few more steps to No. 51 Sebenastrasse. Yes, this is the headquarters of Bayern Munich, the holy place in the hearts of countless Bayern fans.
It finally arrived. When Li Qiao saw the big Bayern Munich logo above the center of the building in front of him, he couldn't restrain his excitement.
Li Qiao and Stan looked at it. There were quite a few people, but they were all children.
"Where are we going, Joe"?Stan asked.
"Follow those kids, they should be locals",
"it is good",
Stan and Li Qiao followed some Bayern fans at the back. Just as they entered the door, security stopped Li Qiao and Stan.
The security guard spoke babbling German, and Li Qiao and Stan didn't understand, but Bayern's management was very humane. After a while, an Asian-faced person came, but when he spoke, Li Qiao and Stan were even more helpless. It turned out to be Japanese.
It's no wonder that as the Japanese "Usami Takashi" joined Bayern this summer, many Japanese tourists came to visit Bayern's headquarters, so Bayern specially arranged staff who can speak Japanese.
Stan shook his head helplessly and said, "English".
An English-speaking staff member came out soon, and after an explanation, I realized that those young fans can use a special passage to watch the players' training at close range, and they can also get autographs. This is a special benefit.
The place where adults are arranged to watch the training will be some distance away from the venue, which is also for safety reasons.
Of course, in the end, adults also have the opportunity to interact with the players or ask for autographs, but they have to wait for the children's requirements to be met. In short, everything is about children.
After listening to the staff's explanation, Stan and Li Qiao understood quite well, and then followed the staff to the designated place to watch Bayern's training.
*****
Not long after he was standing next to the training ground, there was a commotion in front of him. Li Qiao thought it was a Bayern player who came out, but when he saw it, he realized that it was Bayern's mascot "Bernie the Bear".
But Li Qiao has passed the age of liking plush toys, he has no feeling for the real Bernie bear in front of him, and he expects the Bayern star to come out soon.
After communicating with the staff, Li Qiao found out that the Bayern players are in the white building opposite the training ground. They may be preparing or drinking coffee, but he can guarantee that they will definitely see them today.
Soon, the children in front cheered again. This time, it was Bayern players who came out. The first to come out was the Brazilian "Rafinha".
Rafinha's characteristics are very similar to Manchester United's "Rafael". They are the type who can attack and defend well. Brazil can be said to be rich in such right backs, such as Cafu, Alves, Maicon, Cicinho, etc. It can be said that there are countless.
And it is said that Rafinha likes music in private, and even started a band with his friends.
As soon as Rafinha came out, the fans immediately attracted warm applause. Rafinha also waved to the audience, and then began to stretch his legs and warm up, and did not immediately practice with the ball.
After Rafinha came out another Brazilian "Gustavo", who was very similar to Li Qiao's close friend "Prahimi".
It stands to reason that although Gustavo has not been in Germany for as long as his Brazilian compatriot Rafinha, after all, he has played in Hoffenheim and should have adapted to the weather in Germany, but Gustavo came out wearing a jacket. Obviously, he is a bit sluggish today.
Then come out the two fringe players of Bayern "Contento" and "Planic". Contento is Bayern's backup left back.
Another Croatian "Planic" was introduced in the Van Gaal era. With Van Gaal fired in the first half of 2011, the Croatian's time at Bayern is estimated to not be long.
"Why do they come out with little guys," Stan said.
"Bayern's little people are stars in other leagues. For example, Planic may not be able to play in Bayern, but he is an absolute main force in the Croatian national team," Li Qiao said.
Stan kept stamping his feet. If he stood still in this weather, his feet would soon become stiff.
"Joe, have you ever thought that you could be in that room someday in the future?" Stan pointed to the white building opposite.
Li Qiao smiled and said, "Of course."
There was a huge commotion at this time, and it goes without saying that the big man is coming. Sure enough, it is Bayern's old coach "Heynckes" who just took office this summer. This silver-haired old man once led Real Madrid to win the Champions League and is one of the most famous head coaches in Germany.
Seeing Grandpa Hai coming, the children in the front row stretched out their small hands, holding notebooks, jerseys, or posters, like young eagles waiting to be fed.
Heynckes was very cooperative and came over to meet the requirements of each child. Some young and short children were picked up by the mascot "Bernie the Bear" and asked Heynckes to sign.
These children are small and big, and they all know that opportunities are rare. The current German international, Dortmund player "Gross Kreutz" used to be a ball boy picking up the ball on the side of the field, and was later discovered by accident. So if Heynckes takes a fancy to one of these children today, it may be the next German international.
I saw the children signed their names and asked questions one after another, but the questions were all in German, and Li Qiao and Stan couldn't understand them. Maybe it was about whether I could join Bayern in the future, or similar questions.
"What's so interesting about this red-nosed old man, I want to see Gomez", Stan muttered aside, but he spoke Chinese, so no one looked at him.
"You like Gomez"?
"Yeah, I feel like that kid is a lot like when I was younger," Stan said.
"How shameless", Li Qiao thought.
Li Qiao doesn't know what Stan was like when he was young, but anyone who knows a little bit about Yugoslav football knows that it is true that Yugoslavia is rich in air strikers like "Zikic", and Zikic is a bit similar to Gomez.
After signing the signatures and asking questions, the children were still full of ideas. At this time, the mascot Bernie Bear was very experienced. He seemed to be communicating with the children, and finally waved goodbye to Heynckes with the children.
The climax was followed by a low tide, and it was Bayern's fringe people who came out—the Japanese "Usami Takashi", the old goalkeeper "Bout", and a few immature faces, which Li Qiao didn't recognize anymore.
But then the players who appeared on the field caused a huge reaction on the spot, even surpassing the head coach Heynckes. That is the German national goalkeeper "Neuer". Neuer has always been popular.
It was the same scene again, the children in the front row were all reaching out for their autographs. In this situation, how do those who appeared in front of the stage feel?But to be honest, Bayern's jerseys are not cheap, 69 euros a piece, and these children can only wait for the big names to come out before they are willing to hand over the jerseys.
Li Qiao and Stan also bought a jersey in the fan shop just now, Li Qiao bought Robben's, and Stan bought Gomez's, but Li Qiao seemed to be having a hard time getting Robben's signature, and it was even hard to tell if Robben was in the opposite room.
Gomez, who was Stan's favorite, came out next, but unexpectedly, the reaction on the scene was so-so. Only Stan was the one who was more excited, and kept shouting: "Mario, Mario".
It's no wonder that Gomez joined Bayern Munich from Stuttgart for 3000 million euros, but he did not show the level he was in Stuttgart. Many Bayern fans also called him a parallel importer. In the national team, Loew even used the old Klose.
Gomez may understand it himself, so after he came out, he went to the side far away from the fans' stands and started shooting training accompanied by the assistant coach.
As for Stan wanting to get an autograph, that is of course impossible.
"Hmph, Bayern fans are really ignorant, next season I will buy Gomez to Guangzhou Tianbao," Stein said angrily.
"No," Li Qiao said.
"Why not", Stan asked, and Stan thought to himself: "Gomez is here, Gudjohnsen should be unhappy, you are a left winger, why are you unhappy."
Li Qiao said mischievously, "Stan, you can exchange Bayern with me for Gomez."
Stan slapped the back of Li Qiao's head fiercely, "You have already sold yourself to Guangzhou Tianbao, remember, I will always be your boss."
Li Qiao said aggrievedly: "One day, we will turn against each other like Beckham and Ferguson."
Stan said viciously: "Would you marry an ugly woman like Victoria?"
Li Qiao also smiled.
