Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 4 A Natural Pair

The next day, many German media and European mainstream media reported yesterday's press conference at Signal Iduna Park Stadium.

The content of the initial reports was relatively objective. For example, Dortmund spent 12 million to introduce the best player and top scorer from this year's Copa Libertadores, which will be of great help to the future development of the team.

Of course, there are also media alarmists, claiming that Dortmund's heavy signings will repeat the 2005 near bankruptcy.

However, the most talked about was Klopp's unfounded optimism for Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng's shocking and arrogant words when he attended the Dortmund press conference for the first time.

It is simply uncultivated and arrogant.

That's why some media made sharp judgments. They thought Klopp and Tang Zheng were a perfect match, and they both liked to talk big.

Regarding the media's doubts, Tang Zheng didn't say anything later, he had already experienced the dirty faces of the media during his one and a half years in River Plate.

Before you have actual results, they will say what you say is worthless. Only when you make corresponding results and slap your face, they will come to kneel and lick your toes like a dog.

The same is true of Klopp's subsequent response. He left the press conference after saying that he would win the Bundesliga championship within two seasons.

In the final analysis, world football is another world where strength is the most important thing.

The first round of the 2009-2010 Bundesliga season will start on the 6th of next month. However, Klopp considered that Tang Zheng had just participated in the Copa Libertadores final, and then flew to Germany non-stop for medical examinations. This summer has not had time to adjust and rest, so he Decided to give Tang Zheng a week off.

But Tang Zheng thought of the doubts from the media reporters, and the new Bundesliga season was about to start, so he rejected Bishop Ricklopp's kindness and insisted on meeting his new teammates in advance.

Klopp also knew Tang Zheng in the past, knowing that he was a very talented and hardworking young man, so he didn't say anything more.

After all, if Tang Zheng integrated into Dortmund one day earlier, the team's results would be more guaranteed.

The new season is not only a big test for Tang Zheng, but also for Klopp. He has crossed the sea in front of the media. In the case of a common goal, naturally dare not relax.

Because Tang Zheng temporarily decided to transfer to Dortmund, his agent Rodrigo hadn't had time to help him find a place,

So the club directly paid for the four-star hotel for half a month until a suitable house was found.

Although Steigenberger is a four-star hotel, the supporting facilities are still very complete, including gymnasium and swimming pool.

Tang Zheng got up early and came to the gym. The most mentioned problem in the Bayern physical examination room and the Dortmund physical examination room respectively was his lack of core strength. He started exercising his core muscles after warming up on the treadmill, and it didn't finish until eight o'clock.

After returning to his room, he took a hot shower, put on clean clothes, took his training bag, and stopped a taxi directly at the entrance of the hotel.

"Chi~"

The taxi driven by Hans Heisenberg stopped steadily at the entrance of the Steigenberger Hotel. There was an obvious brake mark on the ground. The passenger hurriedly paid the bill, and then held the door to feel like throwing up but couldn't. He smiled. laugh.

At the same time, from the corner of his eye, he saw a tall oriental man coming out of the hotel entrance from the mirror. According to his "years" of passenger-carrying experience, this is a potential customer who needs taxi service.

So he turned up the volume, and the Dortmund team song "Das-Vereinslied" was playing on the stereo, chewing gum in his mouth mechanically, tapping rhythmically with his hands on the steering wheel, and shaking his head slowly with the rhythm of the music.

Tang Zheng opened the rear door of the Chevrolet taxi parked in front of the hotel, threw the satchel in, then closed it, and sat in the co-pilot himself.

He glanced at the young driver and smiled politely: "Dude, please go to the Stobelari Training Center."

"where?"

Hans Heisenberg raised his eyebrows and said subconsciously.

Tang Zheng slapped his forehead violently, what he blurted out just now was Spanish, and he couldn't speak German, so he switched to English that he was not familiar with and said, "Go to Stobelari Training Center."

Not knowing if the driver understood, Tang Zheng had an idea: "BVB Training Center."

Anyway, the spelling of "Training Center" in German and English is exactly the same, so it is estimated that the other party should be able to move.

So he saw the driver nodded thoughtfully, then slowly started the car, and tapped the meter with his right hand.

Then Tang Zheng added another sentence: "quick."

"quick?"

Tang Zheng nodded.

The young driver continued to say a few more words, but Tang Zheng didn't understand, but the other party reached out and pulled the seat belt, and he immediately realized that the other party asked him to wear a seat belt.

Just as Tang Zheng lowered his head and just finished fastening his seat belt, the driver slammed on the accelerator.

The low roaring engine sound made Tang Zheng doubtful, he turned his head to look at the young driver with an excited look on his face.

The driver turned up the volume and stepped on the accelerator.

Tang Zheng felt a strong push back, this Chevrolet taxi was like a runaway wild horse, uncontrollably overtaking all the way.

He had the illusion that this was not an ordinary taxi at all, but rather like the Bumblebee in Transformers.

Hold the grass!

No wonder the South Stand of Dortmund is so fierce, this ordinary taxi driver is so tough, other professions are really unimaginable...

But to be honest, drag racing is pretty cool.

No wonder many stars like to buy supercars, the feeling is different.

Tang Zheng thought that when he had time, he would take the driver's license test and buy a supercar for fun.

It would have taken fifteen minutes to arrive at the Stobelari Training Center, but it took seven or eight minutes to arrive at the destination.

Hans Heisenberg glanced at Tang Zheng unexpectedly, because this was the first time he met a customer who sat on his own car and didn't vomit.

interesting.

"Huh? How do you look familiar?" Hans Heisenberg's brain was running at high speed, and he had a flash of inspiration, and quickly took out the first newspaper on his buttocks to look at it, and then compared it to Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng, who was picking out change, looked at himself in the newspaper, and grinned cooperatively.

"awesome!"

Hans Heisenberg quickly took out a pen from the hidden compartment and handed it to Tang Zheng, and said a lot, but seeing that Tang Zheng couldn't understand, he pointed to the back of the Dortmund jersey he was wearing.

Only then did Tang Zheng understand what the other party meant, he took the pen and signed his name on the other party's back.

After finishing the pen and snake, Tang Zheng took out twenty marks, but the driver didn't accept the money, but took out his business card and handed it to Tang Zheng, and at the same time said a simple English: "No-Money."

Tang Zheng understood this sentence, it means no money.

So Tang Zheng smiled and patted the young driver's shoulder twice, without rejecting the other's kindness, and then walked towards the Stoberari training center with his satchel.

It wasn't until Tang Zheng's back disappeared at the entrance of the training center that Hans Heisenberg excitedly honked the horn for a long time.

He is an avid Dortmund fan, and he is there in every game in the crazy South Stand, so he pays close attention to Dortmund's dynamics. He doesn't mind at all the arrogant Chinese people claimed by the media, because they are the ones in the South Stand The wildest fans on the planet.

Arrogant Chinese and arrogant fans are a natural match.

It seems that the great revival of Dortmund is finally coming!

※※※

In fact, as early as half a month ago, Dortmund had already started pre-season preparations for the new season, so this was also the reason why Klopp did not insist on letting Tang Zheng take a vacation.

If Tang Zheng, who is the core of the midfielder, does not have pre-match training in the future, it will be even more difficult to get in touch with the team after the league starts. At that time, it will not only affect the team's performance, but also some media may use the problem to play. , calling Tang Zheng a parallel importer.

At the entrance of the training center, there was a young man waiting for Tang Zheng, so when Tang Zheng pushed the door and walked in, he greeted him: "Welcome."

This young man who still has the air of a scholar is a temporary translator hired by the club. He is proficient in Spanish, Portuguese and German, and is now Tang Zheng's temporary translator.

So while Rodrigo was helping Tang Zheng find a place to live, he was also looking for Tang Zheng's German teacher.

"Hi, Bach." Tang Zheng smiled and stretched out his right hand.

After the translator Bach Schneider and Tang Zheng shook hands briefly, they led them directly to the locker room of the first team, and then went to the training ground.

From the simple chat just now, Tang Zheng knew that Dortmund's morning training starts at 8:30, so when he went to the training ground, the players were already doing stretching exercises under the leadership of the fitness coach.

Klopp saw Tang Zheng's tall figure out of the corner of his eye, he walked over with a straight face, pointed at his watch and said loudly: "You are late for a full fifteen minutes, do you know?"

"Eh..." Tang Zheng tried to explain after listening to Bach Schneider's translation: "I don't know what time to start training."

"This is not a reason." Klopp shook his head and pressed the stopwatch on his left wrist: "Run ten laps around the training ground, the time limit is ten minutes, and every extra second is one lap."

Tang Zheng was still whispering to the translator, but Klopp said, "Five seconds have passed!"

The old-fashionedness of the Germans was fully reflected at this time. Bach Schneider turned his head quickly, and quickly translated long stories.

Tang Zheng threw down a Chinese curse and started running around the training ground. The Dortmund players who were stretching looked at this summer's team standard king Tang Zheng with great interest, chatting with each other and covering their mouths with smiles.

They heard clearly just now that Klopp wanted Tang Zheng to run ten laps within ten minutes, and one lap outside the training ground was at least 350 meters, and ten laps equaled 3,500 meters.

Run in ten minutes?

Moreover, it took dozens of seconds to pass the translation, which meant that Tang Zheng needed to run 3,500 meters in just over nine minutes.

It's impossible!

But Tang Zheng told them that everything is possible!

Tang Zheng finished the first lap in about a minute, the second lap within a minute, and the third lap also within a minute...

After Tang Zheng's ten laps were finished, he came to report in front of Klopp without even being out of breath.

Klopp stared blankly at Tang Zheng, his stopwatch only reached 9\\'15"

The other team members were also stunned. They haven't finished stretching yet, have they finished running?
