Football: The national football team was expelled and rewarded with a long-range goal card

Chapter 45

If Wolfsburg has the support of Volkswagen headquarters, then Cologne is more glorious than it.

Because Cologne is the fourth largest city in the Tank Country!

Cologne spans both sides of the Rhine River, with a population of about 1 million and an area of 405 square kilometers.

The city's industries include military industry, metallurgy, machinery, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, oil refining, textiles, food and other departments.

Cologne is also one of the important coal producing areas of the Tank Country, with a large thermal power station.

It is also one of the national financial centers of the Tank Country.

There are also many places of interest, such as the famous Cologne Cathedral (the two spires on the dome are 161 meters high) and the Roman underground square.

Marx and Engels also founded the "New Rheinische Zeitung" here.

So, the city behind the Cologne football team is not inferior to Wolfsburg at all.

After Cologne successfully advanced to the Bundesliga as a newly promoted team, the entire Rhein Energy Stadium, which is the home ground, was completely renovated, which can be said to be rich and powerful.

At this time, the players of Cologne are training hard on the court.

Facing the new season, their mental outlook is very good.

In the first Bundesliga match, let alone facing Wolfsburg, even if they met the southern king Bayern, these players dared to show off!

It is good to have ambition, but you can't be arrogant.

Fortunately, Daum, the head coach of Cologne at the time, was very sober.

As a meritorious coach who helped Cologne complete the feat of promotion to the Bundesliga, Daum's only responsibility this season is to help Cologne stay in the league.

If he left just after the team was promoted to the Bundesliga, and the team was relegated again after a season, the whole Cologne would be a joke.

Daum can only stay in Cologne and help it successfully stay in the league this year, and then he can leave and retire!

But facing a group of wealthy opponents who are completely different from the Bundesliga, Daum is also under great pressure.

Just like now, the players are training on the field in high spirits.

Daum and his coaching team are in the office, madly studying the game videos of Wolfsburg.

Among them, An Lan's game videos are the main ones.

Because most of the other players have been in the league for many years, only An Lan, a newcomer, came out of nowhere and completed the feat of a comeback with four goals.

With such an unstable factor, Daum must come up with a solution.

The monitor hanging on the wall is playing An Lan's personal video against Heidenheim in the German Cup.

Every touch of An Lan, every pass, every dribbling and shooting, has been slowed down countless times for observation!

And Daum and others have watched this video countless times.

But every time he watches it, he still feels shocked.

All four goals are magical goals, and the team turned the game around from a two-goal deficit with only half a game left.

No matter how he looks at it, Daum thinks this Dragon Country kid is too scary.

Is the Bundesliga full of such monsters?

Daum was secretly shocked.

As the meritorious coach who led Cologne to complete the feat of being promoted, the club and fans' goal for him this year is relegation.

But how could the arrogant Daum only have this much ambition?

He has big ambitions. Although he doesn't covet the Bundesliga championship, he also has his eyes on the European competition zone next year!

But if every Bundesliga team has a monster like An Lan, then don't play as soon as possible.

It's just bullying!

"Damn, this kid is so difficult to deal with!"

Daum turned off the TV in frustration, and the tape just stopped at the moment when An Lan picked up the ball with a firm look in his eyes (with a cold face).

"As the first game in the Bundesliga, our primary goal is to remain undefeated."

"But you also saw that this kid is the biggest surprise. He looks like a tiger that has been hungry for a week!"

"There is only one minute left in injury time, and he ran over to pick up the ball!"

As he said this, Daum also imitated An Lan's cold face to pick up the ball, which made the coaches around him smile.

He also smiled, then took a deep breath and said: "If it weren't for the opponent, I like this kid's desire to win!"

"But now, if we want to maintain a draw or even win, we need to limit the only uncertain factor."

"That's him! An Lan!"

"What can you do?"

After Dom finished speaking, the assistants in front of him also became sad.

They have also stayed here for the past few days, accompanying Dom to study the game video for several days.

An Lan's appearance, not to mention a thousand times, at least eight hundred times!

Some assistants returned home these days and had hallucinations. When they opened the quilt, they were all An Lan!

"Alas, I can't stand it, this kid is a genius!"

"Indeed, he is not inferior to Ronaldo when he debuted, and even stronger than Ronaldo at the same time!"

"Even those golden boys are a little pale compared to him!"

"To be honest, the volley is indeedReally handsome!"

"How can this thing be restricted? Is it so easy to restrict a genius?"

"Alas, you don't know, my daughter has fallen in love with him!"

"......"

The assistant coaches were talking to each other, making Daum, who was listening on the side, angry!

The damn volley is really handsome!

I asked you guys to discuss whether An Lan is handsome at playing football?

Raise others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige!

"What nonsense are you talking about? I asked you for countermeasures, not to praise him!"

Daom interrupted several people's praise of An Lan with a dark face.

The assistant coach Lever, who has the best relationship with him, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Boss, it's not that we don't want to restrict him."

"It's this An Lan. Although he is only 17 years old, he is indeed impeccable in terms of speed, explosive power, confrontation, and shooting skills."

"Oh, we didn't see his free kick and header ability. "

"But this can be completely made up by Wolfsburg's Dzeko and Grafite."

After listening to Leverkusen's words, Daum was also helpless.

He had already thought of free kicks and headers.

But Grafite, a striker from the Samba country, is good at free kicks.

Dzeko, a 1.95 meter center forward, is the best header machine!

Suddenly, Daum's eyes suddenly lit up!

He thought of the German Cup match that he had watched hundreds of times in the past few days!

Think of the first half when Wolfsburg fell behind!

I can't limit you, Anlan, but can't I limit your midfield?

Cut off the center line that supplies you with ammunition, and you, Anlan, are a toothless tiger!
