From the Country Team To the Rich

The meeting dissipated, but the project was not over.

There are still many different opinions on the quota of separate football schools.

With Ivan, the director of youth training, silent, it is difficult to make a final decision.

Before, Zhang Xian used his own rights to obtain two football school places, but the rest had to be discussed and decided, otherwise the top management and management would be useless.

Walking out of the meeting room, Ivan did not go to the youth training ground, but returned to his room, and went directly to the 'Jurgen Stadium' with a small red bucket.

This stadium for 'watching' has been under maintenance.

Although the stadium is no longer in use, for every Hoffenheim fan this is where they originated.

And even more so for Ivan.

The little red bucket in his hand is no longer a tool for him to seek rewards, and the small money he asked for cannot meet the maintenance expenses of the 'Jurgen Stadium' every time.

But he didn't throw away the little red bucket, and took it and continued to hang around the'Jurgen Stadium'.

Weed occasionally. Brushing paint, baking plastic chairs, etc... He always does what he can.

But more than that, he loves being here.

He is an old man.

Even though he is less than 50 years old, he still feels old.

That's mental aging.

He likes the current Hoffenheim very much and is proud of her.

But I can't help but miss the past.

He misses everything from ten years ago.

Old coach Koch, Morsi, Gray, Azoko, Wei Rauch and other old players.

Today's Hoffenheim is already competing in top competitions like the Champions League, but his heart has been stuck in ten years ago.

He felt that he couldn't keep up with the current rhythm.

In other words, he was not a capable person at all.

Zhang Xian asked him to be the director of youth training not because of his great ability, but because he was rigid, stubborn, and would not choose to bow his head, and would even get into a corner because of it.

His personality is the most suitable for youth training, because he is enthusiastic about young players and hates evil.

Ivan lay on the lawn, feeling the cold November wind, feeling a little cold.

But he felt comfortable and safe.

Hey! I already feel a little powerless. Those young people are all too powerful. I, an old guy, can't keep up with their thinking.

Football and business, which seems to me to be a completely different matter, but it has now been linked.

Even that person agrees so, but I can't understand it, so I feel old!

After speaking, Ivan fell silent.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly; Won't you comfort me?

Ivan propped his body up slowly, and he glanced left and right.

As far as the eye can see, it is full of memories.

Although it is not as big and imposing as the Dome Stadium, he feels that this is the most beautiful place.

After staring blankly for a while, he suddenly felt movement beside him.

Ivan turned his head to look and found that Zhang Xian was sitting next to him at some point.

He was sitting cross-legged on the lawn with a plastic bottle in his hand and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Holding the cigarette with the other hand, stuffing the mouth of the cigarette into the mouth of the bottle, flicking the ash, Zhang Xian said with a smile: Don't worry, I won't dirty this place.

Ivan was speechless.

He looked at Zhang Xian and said, Are you here to comfort me?

Zhang Xian shook his head and said, No need, you old guys are more stubborn than the other. Back then, Mary called me a saboteur.

Ivan grinned, a smile forming on the corner of his mouth.

He still remembered that Mary kicked the trash can in front of Zhang Xian into a C shape.

Since then, the general manager has started to run in the morning. Now ten years have passed, and the wind and rain have never stopped.

I know what you're thinking. You may not agree with the point of view, but I don't need it. Zhang Xian turned his head and smiled, I won't listen.

Ivan said helplessly; Yes, you never listen to our opinions.

But this time, I want to hear it. Ivan was stunned by the sudden change in Zhang Xian's words.

He subconsciously asked; Why?

Why? Zhang Xian smiled, stuffed the cigarette butt into the plastic bucket, shook the water inside, then screwed on the lid, and put it aside; I have been playing football for ten years. You guys also despise me for this, even now, many people are mocking me with this matter.

We didn't! Ivan said immediately.

Zhang Xian smiled and said, It's not you!

But it is undeniable that I really don't understand football that well. Zhang Xian's gaze was a little empty; I am an interestist, so it is difficult for me to understand that one person is one city: I am an opportunist, so It is even more difficult for me to understand those so-called loyalty!

In my opinion, money can buy many things, including loyalty!

After a pause, Zhang Xian suddenly smiled and said, But that's not the case. During the transfer period, I actually encountered many embarrassing situations. Some players, no matter how good the conditions I offered, they didn't agree to the transfer. At the time, I felt ridiculous about their loyalty.

But football is like this! Pure, passionate, exciting!

The old Jazz once said that I lacked something as a football person. I asked him what I lacked. At that time, he pointed to my left chest. I thought he was saying that I lacked heart, but then I understood. Yes, he says I lack faith!

I don't believe in any religion, but in the past ten years, I have gradually gained faith, and it is Hoffenheim that gave me faith.

I often feel that football is really a terrible sport, because it will make many people fall in love with it gradually, and then they can't extricate themselves!

Ivan listened quietly to Zhang Xian's explanation, and suddenly smiled and said, But it is undeniable that Hoffenheim's beliefs were created by you.

Zhang Xian turned his head and looked at Ivan in surprise.

Ivan looked up at the blue sky and said, How do you think the belief of a club is formed?

Zhang Xian pondered for a moment and said, Winning every game will happen naturally.

No! Ivan shook his head resolutely, and said; A club's belief is built by its leader.

Brave! Fearless! Hard work! Hard work! These are the qualities of Hoffenheim, and it is you who slowly transformed him into faith.

Whether it is temperament or belief, it is all created by you!

Zhang Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, pointed at himself and said, Me? Brave?

Ivan grinned and said, That's a guy who dared to sell his star player right after he took office. If you didn't have the courage, would you do this?

Zhang Xian grinned and said, What about Wuwei?

Ivan said: The hearing about the loan!

Efforts are always gone?

Hoffenheim's commuting system is nine to five, but in fact it goes to work at 8:00 am and ends at 8:00 pm! What do you think is the reason?

Zhang Xian was helpless, well, if he doesn't leave, no one dares to leave first.

I didn't force them.

I know, but everyone is having fun, it's the best thing to happen.

Zhang Xian said: Forget it for now, what about hard work?

Ivan looked straight at Zhang Xian and said, What I'm doing now! What's Hoffenheim's goal?

Zhang Xian was shocked!

wealthy!

Ivan smiled and said, So, Hoffenheim's temperament and belief all come from you!

You give each other faith, and we are the beneficiaries!
