[Football] Crown of Thorns

After the chaotic Christmas holiday, Gama, who returned to Dortmund, soon returned to the club to report.

Thursday, January 1th, the twelfth day of the eleventh lunar month in Huaguo, the weather: heavy snow.

Pushing open the door, looking up at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, Gama took a breath, feeling the fresh moisture in his nostrils.

He was originally wearing thick sportswear, because he planned to run to the club according to his usual habits, but now the weather is probably absolutely impossible-what if you slip and get injured?The serious face of the coach appeared in his mind, and Gama smiled inexplicably.

Chris, who was walking behind him, poked his head out, "I told you that the weather forecast would warn of snow, but you didn't believe me."

"I don't believe it, I just don't think it will be so big!"

Jia Ma put his hands together and blew hot air, "It's so cold."

"I'll drive you."

For his employer, Chris is very helpless. Under normal circumstances, Gama, who does not allow him to pick up and drop off, does not let him do much work in his daily life. This makes Chris feel that the two salaries he holds are a bit burn hands.

Standing by the door and admiring the falling snowflakes, Gama put on the down jacket that Chris took out again, and stood at the door waiting for Chris to drive the car out.

The snowy road is slippery, and it usually takes only half an hour to run, and it took nearly 10 minutes to drive today.

"Your driving skills are so good, it doesn't matter if you drive faster."

Gama was dissatisfied with Chris's speed and complained to Chris when he parked the car at the gate of the club.

Chris glanced at him, "It's snowing heavily today, and there are no fans at the gate, so hurry up and go in!"

"You're boring."

Gamala opened the door and jumped out, "It's so cold!"

…………

Gama, who ran into the gate of the club, walked into the locker room smoothly all the way. Well, it can't be called touching, after all, he is very familiar with this place, especially when he saw his teammates in front of him. Before walking in, he squeezed a handful of snow from the railing outside.

As always, the team's two captains and vice captains arrived in the locker room early, and several veteran players also arrived early.

Gama shook his head regretfully because he didn't find anyone he could use to prank. The snow in his hand melted quickly in the warm room, so he had no choice but to run into the bathroom to wash his hands.

As a result, he also heard Weidenfeller and Kyle behind him say "Xiko is in a hurry to urinate."

I rely on!

Gama, who washed off the snow in his hands with hot water and warmed his hands, came out, "Happy New Year, guys!"

Kyle waved at him, "Xiko, how was your vacation?"

Hearing Kyle's question, Gama sighed, "I'm exhausted."

Immediately, they exchanged their respective experiences during the holidays, and Gama was "happy" to find that his teammates were not doing well, so he felt more balanced.

"It looks like it's impossible to conduct inspections outside today."

After chatting about gossip for a while, Kyle said this.

Every time they return to the team during the holidays, the players have to be evaluated by the team doctors both indoors and outdoors. Today, it is snowing heavily, and the outdoor turf is quite thick with snow, so they do not use physical examinations and other work.

"I'll probably do the indoor ones first!"

Weidenfeller smiled.

"However, we will prepare for the warm-up match tomorrow, and maybe we will not conduct an official inspection until after the warm-up match is over..."

The two captains were chatting about the team's next move. Jia Ma sneaked up next to Ge Xiaoce and chatted with him in a low voice.

"They can really pretend."

The club will definitely notify the two captains in advance of the team's post-holiday warm-up match arrangement. Seeing their pretentious appearance, hmph, it was on purpose!

"Definitely!"

Ge Xiaoce nodded, agreeing with Jia Ma's point of view.

Then the heads of the two were covered by throwing jerseys, and then they were pressed down and beaten by unknown teammates.

After finally being released and seeing the light again, the poor two looked up and saw the deputy team Weidenfeller standing in front of them, "Boys, I heard everything!"

What did you hear?

The two blinked innocently, trying to look innocent.

But the deputy team doesn't like them, "Talk about me, huh?"

The two shook their heads desperately.

The deputy team smiled wickedly, "Since you two did something wrong, today," he looked back at the smiling Kyle, "forget it, let's carry out punishment activities after we come back!"

What Weidenfeller said about coming back means that they will fly to Belgium tomorrow for a friendly match with the Belgian club Standard Liege, and this time they will play three friendly matches, namely No. And the Spanish Elche Club and the Oberhausen Club against the German Second Division on the 7th.

"Last year, I only traveled around Switzerland once, but this year I have to go to two countries."

"That's right!"

The team members were discussing while holding their mobile phones to read the notice sent to them by the club.

"Let's stop here today, and gather at the club tomorrow morning..."

Kyle waited for everyone to read the notice, and clapped his hands to remind everyone to get ready.

Gama, who was laughing and separated from his teammates, saw his car as soon as he walked out of the club. During the two hours he was in the club, Mr. Bodyguard had been guarding outside and waiting for him.

"...It always feels a little strange!"

After muttering for a while, Gama told Chris that he thought the club's arrangement was really weird.

"Probably affected by the financial crisis!"

On the contrary, Mr. Bodyguard gave Gama such an answer in surprise.

"financial crisis?"

Gama thought for a while, "I did read some related reports during Christmas, but Germany should not be affected much!"

"The German economy is generally good, but what about Dortmund?" Chris shook his head. "I heard from Mr. Agostinho that the economic situation of Dortmund is still not very good."

"Really~"

Gama was silent.

In the evening, he deliberately called his black-hearted agent, and then heard what the agent told him about his salary——

"You mean, if my salary increases again, it will exceed the club's salary limit?"

"Correct!"

Agostinho flipped through the contract and other materials in his hand, "The contract you signed when you transferred in 10 years has additional conditions. For example, if you perform well in the season, you will have to raise your salary. To put it bluntly, your performance is considered the best in Dortmund's first team, so your salary has been increased by one level in the summer of 11... By the way, you didn't notice this," Old Tiha said. Deputy Hao said in a regretful tone, "If I had known that you hadn't noticed the salary increase, I wouldn't have told you."

"Hello~"

Jia Ma was very speechless, "What if you don't tell me about the salary increase, can you be greedy?"

"Haha, that's what I said."

Agostinho laughed, "According to your performance in the first half of this season, you can raise your salary again this year. Well, Dortmund's salary scale limit is very likely to be broken. You have to know their bank debts But it has not been paid off, if the salary limit is exceeded..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Gama understood it.

"That is to say, even if I don't want to leave, Dortmund can't afford it or is unwilling to let my salary exceed their limit!"

"Yes, that's what it means."

Agostinho snapped his fingers, "The salary balance of the club will be broken by your salary increase, which is not conducive to their internal management."

His statement silenced Gama for a moment, and then he said, "What if I'm willing to take a pay cut, no, no raise?"

"Oh God, what nonsense are you talking about, there is no such thing as this."

Old Tiha screamed, "Don't even think about it. As the core of the team, you cut your salary. What about the others? Do you want to cut your salary voluntarily or have to? Do you want to offend other players? More importantly, , selling your money can compensate a large part of the debt owed by the club, and more importantly," Agostinho roared loudly, "Do you know that Klopp is best at mobilizing young players, And now Dortmund's first team has rookies who are as talented as you!!!"

Can one be cultivated and more be cultivated?

Gama shook his head with a wry smile.

"That's it!"

"Anyway, you are not from their youth training and you are not a German. You will not be regarded as their own in the Hornets, and you have earned them a lot in the past two years. Generally speaking, you do not owe them. "

"...It's not about whether you owe me or not..."

Gama said something in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

"……nothing!"

After hanging up the phone, Gama lay back with his head on the pillow, staring blankly at it.

...Actually, I've already fallen in love with this place...

…………

冬歇期过后，多特蒙德俱乐部在新年伊始的三场友谊赛中，分别以标准列日0-3多特蒙德、艾尔切1-5多特蒙德、奥伯豪森0-4多特蒙德拿下了三场胜利。

After the last friendly match, the league schedule for the second half of the 2011-2012 season also kicked off.

After the friendly match, Dortmund ushered in their 1th round of the league on January 22, away to Hamburg.

"Speaking of which, the Hamburg team assembled earlier than us and played more friendly matches than us, but they also had more rest time than us."

Uninterested, Jia Ma looked at the information in his hand and sighed.

Sven at the side leaned his head and glanced at the information in Gama's hand, "One more thing, the friendly match in Hamburg went to four countries, hehe~~"

Jia Ma curled his lips, "It seems that the other party is not short of money."

"It's a pity that the grades are not good."

"……Ah!"

"Xiko, you are very strange."

"Ha ha!!"

"...It's terrible, Xico is stupid!!!"

'Bang', Sven hit the ground.

Jia Ma slowly withdrew his golden steel leg, licked his lower lip unconsciously, "I'm hungry!"

"...I have bananas here."

Hummels frowned and said.

Gama looked over slowly, turning his head like a robot, "Mattus, I remember what you promised me..."

"Sorry, I'll treat you after the game tomorrow night!"

Hummels' complexion changed, and he solemnly stated that he had not forgotten his promise.

"Heh, heh heh!! Heh heh!!!"

Teammates: ↖(￣▽￣")

Teammates: Who the fuck offended Xiko, that bastard! ! !

On the side of the training ground, Klopp raised his head which was looking at the tactical board strangely, "What are they doing?"

Mr. Buvac, the assistant coach who was directing the training, came over with a suppressed smile, and before he could say anything, he burst out laughing.

"??"

"They're talking about who's going to treat after the game."

"Oh~"

Hearing that it was this kind of interaction between teammates, Klopp nodded and continued to fiddle with the tactical board with his head down.

The gathered players were speechless: Sir, help! ! !
