[Football] Crown of Thorns

On July 2011, 7, Gama returned to Dortmund.

In view of the fact that Dortmund will conduct warm-up training before the new season in two days, it is just right for Gama to return to Dortmund at this time.

The weather in Dortmund in July is much better than that of the capital Gama visited before, because there are many waterways and green spaces in the city, and the whole city looks cool.

After living here for a year, Gama feels that he has fallen in love with this city.

According to the arrangement of the club, Dortmund will go to Switzerland for training before the game this year, where they will conduct seven days of training and a series of warm-up friendly matches with local football clubs.

No. [-] returned to the residence, and No. [-] gathered in the club and took the plane to Switzerland together.

The teammates who hadn't seen each other for almost a month became lively from the moment they met.

Talk about the matches of the national team, talk about where each went on vacation, or talk about the gossip of this month in football, it is really lively.

"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that Manchester United lost to Barcelona."

The friends got together and talked, and finally talked about football.

Sven said so.

"Barcelona is amazing!"

Gotze said.

"Humph!"

The person who made this voice was naturally Gama.

"Both of them have won the Champions League three times before this final, but this time, Barcelona won the Champions League for the second time in three years and won the Champions League for the fourth time."

"It's a pity for Manchester United."

"Although I don't like Barcelona very much, Barcelona really played well in this game."

"I always feel that Manchester United is a pity."

The teammates started chirping, and Klopp and other coaching staff sitting in the front seat couldn't help chatting with each other about the Champions League.

Talking like this until the plane landed, everyone turned their attention to the city they arrived in.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Yes, Not Bad."

They came to Zurich, Switzerland this time not only for pre-season training, but also to participate in a football exhibition match here - the 50th "Watch Cup" exhibition match. Their opponent was the Swiss Super League runner-up FC Zurich last season.

Coach Klopp also plans to use the warm-up match here to continue to test the team lineup. After all, many players in the team have transferred out or have not returned to the team. In order to adjust the team's strength and tactics, it is necessary to conduct various formation experiments. of.

Arrived in Switzerland on the [-]rd, after a day of rest, the team started a warm-up match with the local team.

In this kind of warm-up match that doesn't care about winning or losing, Klopp always replaces all the starting 11 players in midfield, and then starts to make various adjustments.

"It's like fancy bartending."

In private, Sven complained to Jia Ma like this.

"I think it's more vivid to use a vegetable salad as a metaphor."

Gama replied.

The two snickered.

"what are you guys saying?"

Gotze jumped up, and Jiama staggered under the pressure.

"I rely on Mario, are you fat again?"

Jia Ma held his breath and threw Xiaopang down.

The bouncing chubby chuckled, "There's no such thing as fat."

Watching his chest out and holding his breath, Jia Ma suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled and put the jersey on Ge Xiaopang's body. The jersey rebounded softly, and Jia Ma heheed twice.

"Mario, the jersey I gave you should be one size smaller!"

"impossible."

Ge Xiaoce shook his head.

And Sven already knew what the bad friend was referring to, so he stretched out his claws and pinched Ge Xiaopang's stomach, "It's too small."

"?"

Fatty Ge opened his eyes wide.

Sven nodded, "The jersey must be too small. You can see that the stomach is stretched. Too tight is not conducive to activities. It's better to go to the administrator and ask for a bigger size."

Now Zige Xiaopang understood that Sven and Jiama were laughing at his protruding belly.

"Hahaha~~~"

Some people laughed and some snickered, and the players who were playing on the grass bent over laughingly.

The members of the coaching staff on the sidelines also burst out laughing.

Klopp folded his arms and looked at Ge Xiaoce with a serious face. He turned his head and said to Buvac, "Mario must have been unable to control his mouth during the holidays. He must be overweight!"

The team's jersey for the new season is designed and sponsored by Kappa. The bright yellow background and the rows of black dots on the chest are particularly eye-catching, but because of the bright colors, there are higher requirements for people's figures. Most of them are very good, but also because of such a slight change in the body, it is particularly conspicuous.

After laughing, Jia Ma squatted on the grass, biting a piece of grass in his mouth, watching the newcomers who were active on the other side.

Sven bounced around for a while, then squatted down, "Hey Xiko, I heard that you traveled to Huaguo during the holidays."

"how do you know?"

Gama tilted his head.

"Dude, you have to know," Sven patted Gama on the shoulder with a heavy face, "You have to know that you were the best foreign player in the German Bundesliga last season, don't you know that your news will be covered by many media published."

"……I thought……"

"Why do you think that you are still an ordinary young player," Sven grimaced, "Don't tell me that you don't have the self-awareness, the self-awareness of being a star."

"Maybe!"

Gama shrugged.

"Okay, then I can tell you with certainty that you are now a star, and you are the kind who is popular."

Sven stopped squatting and sat down directly.

Jia Ma also sat down cross-legged, "I always find it a bit unbelievable."

His answer made Sven look at him strangely, and then smiled, "Perhaps that's why the more you play, the better you are!"

Jia Ma spat out the grass root that he had chewed, "There is a newcomer again!"

Sven looked over with his gaze, "That's Ilkay Gundogan, born in 90, you should know that the team signed him in May."

"Well, actually I don't know."

Gama spread his hands.

Sven gave him a strange look, "Then you know, he is a young player called 'Shaheen II', and the team spent 400 million euros to bring him from Nuremberg."

"Shaheen II?"

Gama bowed his head and smiled. When Shaheen was in Dortmund, people said that he was a FW, and his ability to control and pass was the metronome of the team's offense and defense.

And he has been here this year, and he has already filled the gap after Shaheen is not in the team, so what if there is another Shaheen?

"He seems to be of Turkish descent born in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, right?"

"Well, he has dual citizenship of Germany and Turkey, and has already played for the German U21 national team, but he made it clear in an interview before that he hopes to play for the German team like Ozil, another Turkish descendant... "

As Sven, who was selected for the German national team in February this year, he has a certain understanding of Gundogan, an outstanding young player of his generation in China, so he roughly told Gama about Gundogan.

"Not bad, your German rookies are really emerging one after another."

Gama smiled.

Bored, Sven grabbed a piece of grass and chewed, "It's so stressful."

"Oh!"

"Oh what?"

Sven tapped Gama's cheek with his head.

"What are you worried about? If you say you are worried, it should be me who is worried!"

Jia Ma gave Wen a gentle look.

"Oh hehe~~"

Also a new generation of German players, Sven spread his hands, "It puts a lot of pressure on me, okay?"

"Please, you guys don't play in the same position."

Gama snorted twice.

"Then it should be Mario who is worried."

Sven turned around and sold Ge Xiaopang.

"Well, that's right."

Gama nodded.

But in his heart, he is still prepared. In any case, Gundogan is regarded as one of the new generation of German players. If it is really about training, the team must first choose local players!

Forget it, what to do after thinking so much, it is better to consider continuing to occupy the main position first.

Thinking of this, Jia Ma stood up, "Going to practice?"

Sven looked up at him, "OK!"

After finishing the first two warm-up matches, Dortmund came to Zurich to play the "Horschlock Cup" exhibition match with Zurich Football Club.

At the Magic Track Stadium, the home of FC Zurich, the two sides played a friendly exhibition match.

The Zurich Football Club took the lead in the home game. Josip Drmic scored the goal. A total of 6812 spectators were seated in the stadium. Only then was it louder and lively.

Jia Ma looked back at the auditorium behind him, and turned his head faintly.

"This is the eighth minute of the opening."

Gotze next to him rested his chin on his hand, "It's just an exhibition game."

Coach Klopp has been experimenting with the lineup in the previous warm-up match, and he continued to experiment with the lineup in today's game.

Among the starting players, the big cross is the right back, the central defenders are Santana and Subotic, and Bender and Gundogan are the double midfielders.

Gama stared at Gundogan. Although he was a newcomer to the team, this kid didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and kicked quite fiercely.

But today's opponent Zurich played very well. They entered the game first. This is probably related to their participation in the Champions League qualifiers in a week. Denfele seemed a little helpless with this goal.

However, Dortmund's counterattack speed is not slow. Lowe quickly breaks through and passes the ball to the middle. Lewandowski and Kagawa's exquisite cooperation makes the opponent's goalkeeper have to attack. Then Sven cleverly knocks back to the penalty spot, and Kuba gets the ball easily. break down.

"Sven, this guy not only talks about what he says, but also acts quickly!"

Gama muttered.

Ge Xiaoce at the side said, "Are you talking about Gundogan?"

"You know it!"

"There's nothing you can't see," Ge Xiaoce propped his chin. "He's in the same position as you. Sven can play on the right or in the middle or back, but he's not as good physically," said Ge Xiaowei here suddenly smiled, "Don't you think Jing Duoan is actually more like me?"

"I bother!"

Gama gave him a white look.

Ge Xiaoce leaned back and forth with a grin.

Seeing his stupid appearance, Gama couldn't help laughing.

He cared about it because he invested in it, but Ge Xiaopang didn't care about the pressure of competition because he had confidence in himself.

Well, I have to learn more about Ge Xiaopang's confidence and courage, of course, forget about his two and gluttony.

"Lucas is going to participate in the America's Cup, and I don't know what the situation is?"

"I see it hard."

"Speaking of which, the Argentine team also has too many talents, I'm so envious!"

Gama sighed.

The team's forward Barrios is Argentine, but he joined the Paraguayan national team in 2010, and everyone knows why.

Thinking of the seniors of the national team and Pepe, Gama is really envious of Brazil, Argentina, and now Germany, they have so many talents.

"Wow Robert shot!!"

Ge Xiaoce beside him shouted.

Gama looked up.

Lewandowski hit the goal with a header and almost scored, "It's a pity!"

Ge Xiaoce sat down.

Lewandowski then became one of the standout players on the pitch in the first half.

At halftime, Klopp replaced all the starting players. In the second half, he tried to use the cooperation of Perisic and Laettner. Gama also made an appearance in the last 10 minutes. Only the injured Schmelzer and the newcomer Florian Hübner brought up by the second team did not get the opportunity to show their faces.

However, the player who was named the best player in the game after the game was Kagawa Shinji, and his reward was a Swiss watch.

Gama murmured.

He doesn't care about that watch, what he cares about is that he shouldn't only pay attention to Gundogan, and there is this Japanese with good ability who wants to take his position!

"Sir broke my heart!"

After the game, Jia Ma said this to Ge Xiaoce, who was interviewing him pretending to be a reporter.

"Wow, why why?"

Ge Xiaoce pretended to be excited.

The fight between the two attracted crowds of onlookers.

"I'm so handsome, why do I only have the chance to show my face for 10 minutes? My heart hurts so much and my fans hurt even more!"

Gama covered his chest.

The teammates who were amused by Jia Ma's performance slapped the table and beat the wall and bent over laughing.

Then, Klopp, who was standing at the door, watched everyone booing, and Gama blinked at him, "Sir~~"

The speechless coach said, "Hiko, your eyes are twitching."

Everyone: Hahaha~~

----

After the gossip came out:

Ronaldo: What's wrong with Chico?

Pepe: Hiko, are you out of your mind?

Veloso: Hiko, did you get sick from eating?

Cohen: Hiko, are you stupid?

Xico: ...you all get out of here!
