(Brothers are requested to recommend collections and support. After the list of new books, more than 200 recommendation votes are lost every day.)
Staring blankly at the clouds under the plane and the occasionally exposed mountains and frozen lakes, a series of great names flowed through Li Huan's mind, including Nietzsche, Beethoven, Einstein, Hitler, Marx, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche. . . .In the starry sky of human history, these great names are associated with the country to which he is about to arrive.Germany, a country that launched two world wars and almost destroyed human civilization, contributed countless great ideas and inventions to mankind.

After ten hours of flight, the plane landed at Frankfurt Airport at [-]:[-] pm local time. Li Huan and Liu Yang set foot on German soil for the first time. Compared with BJ and Daocheng, Frankfurt is also a combination of tradition and modernity. Expressway, modern buildings, but few high-rise buildings, many trees, clear sky, fresh air, just like in XZ, there are few people on the road, more cars than people, occasionally trams pass by, but it is very quiet.

After leaving the airport, Braun and an acquaintance of Liu Yang who worked in Mannheim had been waiting for a long time. Liu Yang and Li Huan hugged each other and said, "Brother Huan, Uncle Wang and I are leaving first. After we settle down, I will go to Kars Rue wants to play with you."

Li Huan supported Liu Yang's shoulders and said, "Okay, I'll call you after the trial training."

The one named Uncle Wang asked curiously, "Aren't you from the same school?"

Liu Yang proudly said: "Li Huan went to play football at the Karlsruhe club."

Uncle Wang owns a Chinese restaurant. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Li Huan with admiration and said, "You must be very famous in China, right?"

Li Huan said lightly: "I'm not famous, I play amateur football."

"Amateur football?" Uncle Wang couldn't believe his ears. He couldn't believe that the level of Chinese football has developed to such an extent that even amateur football players can play in the second division of Germany.

Liu Yangdao: "He's even better than a professional. Have you ever watched TV "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword"? Li Huan's nickname is Xiao Li Feidao."

Uncle Wang looked at Li Huan suspiciously, and said, "Young man, play hard and have a bright future. Mannheim is not far from Karlsruhe. If there is your game, I will call my friends to join in."

Li Huan chuckled and said, "I'm going for a trial training, so I don't know if I can stay."

Uncle Wang seemed a little disappointed, waved to Li Huan and took Liu Yang away first.

Braun was driving a Mercedes. He smiled and said to Li Huan in Chinese: "If I knew you have so little luggage, I would take the bus to pick you up."

Li Huan laughed and said, "You Germans are really stingy, you are like European Shanghainese, where are we going now?"

Braun didn't understand Li Huan's teasing, and said, "I'll take you to Stuttgart first, and stay there overnight. The next day, Watts and I will take you to the Karlsruhe club for a trial training. We have already contacted the club. gone."

"Okay, everything will go according to your arrangement."

After driving on the expressway for more than an hour, Li Huan and Braun came to Stuttgart. The medieval capital of the principality was reduced to ruins by the artillery fire of World War II. Now Stuttgart is a "new city" without historical relics.The urban planning has the majesty of geometric lines, and everything is neat and orderly.The planning and construction of urban residential areas, commercial areas, and cultural and artistic areas all adopt modern German architectural styles.Stuttgart is a basin, the center of the basin is the downtown area, the edge of the basin is the mountains, and the residential area is on the edge of the basin.Braun's family lives in Wegenhof Community, where the husband and wife live in a three-bedroom house.It was already dark when they arrived, and Braun invited Li Huan to stay at his house overnight. Before Li Huan went abroad, Li Huan did not withdraw all the money in the stock market. After leaving Xu Ruoqian, he only has more than 2000 euros on him now, so he can save as much as he can, and Braun's proposal is naturally what he wishes for.

Braun's wife is a kind-hearted German woman. Although she can't speak Chinese, she is very enthusiastic about Li Huan. She specially purchased ingredients from Asian stores and asked Braun to cook Chinese dishes for Li Huan. However, her enthusiasm obviously violated Li Huan's original intention. , Li Huan would like to taste German food.

The next day, Braun's friend Watts, a well-kept man in his forties, showed up.He was not as tall as Braun, but he was solid and handsome.His appearance and grooming are typical of Germans, with meticulous hairstyle, rigorous and elegant clothes, and a serious face. He looks like a very educated gentleman.He is a scout for the Bundesliga team Stuttgart, and also an agent. His main business is to serve the Stuttgart club, and he only occasionally acts as an intermediary for players from some football backward areas in Africa and Asia. When he likes them, he will introduce them to the second or third division of Germany.

Braun introduced to Li Huan: "This is Watts, my good friend."

"Hello, my friend from China." Watts reached out to shake hands with Li Huan.

Li Huan remembered what Li Jing told him in German class that shaking hands with Germans should be stronger, so as to give the impression of confidence and generosity to the other party, so he shook hands with Watts heavily.In blunt German: "GutenTag, WoszHerr."

Watts asked in surprise, "Do you understand German?"

Braun told Watts that Li Huan had studied German for more than two months before coming to Germany. Watts showed appreciation in his eyes and said, "If you can fully prepare for what you are going to do, I believe you will succeed. .”

Braun translated to Li Huan, and Li Huan expressed his thanks again.

After breakfast at Braun’s house, the three of them drove to Karlsruhe. Although there is still one round left in the Bundesliga, Karlsruhe has a poor record this season and is now only ranked 10th, relegation Worry-free and hopeless, they have already shifted their goals to next season. Head coach Becker is working hard to find players who can help him improve the team's strength.On the way, Watts told Li Huan not to say that he was an amateur player who played wild football, but that he was a student of a football school.What Watts said made Li Huan take a different look at this gentleman-looking German scout. It seemed that this German was not as German as he looked, but he acted like a Chinese.

When the three arrived at the Wilderpark Stadium in the northern district of Karlsruhe, Karlsruhe players were training under the leadership of assistant coach Hoss. Watts brought Li Huan and Braun to the side of the court. Hoss said hello, and Hoss saw Watts coming over immediately, and said, "Dear Watts, hello, where is the aura-filled Chinese guy you mentioned? Did you bring him here?"

Watts and Hoss hugged each other affectionately, and said: "Hoss, I have brought him here, the little guy standing on the side of the court is, how about it? The speed is 10 seconds, which is great."

Hoss looked up at Li Huan and nodded, "It looks pretty good, but it needs to be tried in a competition. If he can reach the level of China's Shao, Coach Becker will definitely accept him."
