[Football] Crown of Thorns

Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia in western Germany, has a permanent population of about 60 and is the seventh largest city in Germany.

This is a city with obvious changes in four seasons. Gama, who came here in July in midsummer, personally experienced how comfortable the daily average temperature of 26 degrees is. This is the most suitable season for travel.

As an industrial city, Dortmund is best known to the world for its 'Bee Legion' - Borussia Dortmund Football Club - and beer.

As early as 1293, King Adolph granted Dortmund the privilege of brewing beer. Today, the annual beer production here is 75 kiloliters. It is the leading beer city in Europe and a world-famous beer production place.

Therefore, the symbol of the city of Dortmund is steel and beer.

Hardness and softness, indifference and enthusiasm are the initial impressions of Dortmund on Gama.

"It's very beautiful here."

On the phone, Jia Ma described this green city to Joanna, "...nearly half of the city is covered with waterways, forest land, cultivated land, and spacious parks. No matter which street you walk, you can smell the green grass and The smell of flowers... and the canal, where the boats pass, stop and watch and enjoy the breeze on the river... There are many museums..."

"As long as you like it!"

The voice on the phone was distorted, but Joanna's joy could still be heard.

"When you are on vacation, you can come here to have a look."

Gama invites Joanna.

"With father?"

"of course."

Gama laughed.

…………

Gama, who successfully passed the physical examination, bypassed the front building under the leadership of the staff, walked into the club's training base through two side doors.

The large circular logo painted on the wall attracted Jia Ma's attention--the BVB in the black double lane circled with yellow background and the simple words 09.

"Gama, there are currently 25 players in the first team. The team captain is our No. 5 Sebastian Kyle, and the vice-captain is No. 1 goalkeeper Weiden Feller..."

Gamma knew Kyle, and he knew the captain of the Hornets before he came here. He transferred from Freiburg to Dortmund for 2002 million euros in January 1. He has played here for eight years. Kyle didn't play many games this season due to injuries, but he is still the captain and spiritual pillar of the team.

When Gama came to the locker room, Captain Kyle was already waiting here.

The 30-year-old captain was wearing the team's yellow uniform. The smile on his well-groomed face was very nice. His short golden-brown hair was neat and straight. He was taller than Gama, but it didn't make people think Oppressed, I just feel that the captain is very kind.

"Hi, I'm Sebastian Kyle, welcome!"

Kyle spoke English and held out his hand to Gama.

It's just a simple sentence, but it can make people feel his thoughtfulness. Gama couldn't help showing a smile, and stretched out his hand.

"Thank you, I'm José Francisco da Gama."

Gama spoke German.

Hearing Gama's fluent German, Kyle's gray-blue eyes showed surprise, and then the smile on his lips deepened a little.

"Today's signing ceremony won't be too many people, I hope you don't care, it's not that the team doesn't value you..."

Listening to his soft tone, this man who is evaluated by industry professionals as "very aggressive on the court but very elegant in ball handling style" is indeed a man who is easy to like.

Although Gama performed well in the World Cup, due to the fact that the Portuguese national team has not gone too far and his position, Gama, who has only gained a certain reputation in China, has not received too many evaluations from foreign professionals, so Dortmund The Monte club invested 1200 million euros to buy him, which also caused many fans to wonder-why did the club let go of their young midfielder with 1000 million euros but bought a younger Gama?

Even if the team is currently short of midfielders due to personnel departures and player injuries, can the 21-year-old Gama really provoke the team's midfielder?

All kinds of doubts came one after another, which is why Kyle comforted Gama, saying that not many people were invited to his signing ceremony.

Hearing what Kyle said, Gama pursed his lips and smiled.

"Thank you!"

When Gama held up his No. 8 jersey, the lights flickered in the small interview room, and he looked around.

In any case, his new journey is about to begin, no matter how many doubts he has, he must fight back with his own strength.

Meeting the club teammates for the first time, what is Gama's first impression of this team—the male model team! ╮(╯▽╰)╭

The vice-captain Weiden Feller is 1.8m tall with the same height as the captain Kyle, but he looks like a wild and handsome man.

The main central defender No. 4 Subotic is a Serbian who is only five months older than him. He is 1 meters tall and has a handsome youth with medium-length hair.

Defender No. 6 Florian Klinger, with short blond hair and deep blue eyes, Note: A handsome man taller than him.

No. 15 Mats Hummels, another handsome guy over 1.9 meters tall...

…………

One after another handsome guys who were taller than him lined up together, the shocking force made people's skin crawl all over.

Of course, there is something even more eye-catching. It is another rookie standing next to Gama at this time—Robert Lewandowski from Poland—with the Golden Boot of the Polish First Division. Lewandowski joined Dortmund with 475 million euros, which sounds worse than Gama's 1200 million euros, but the strikers produced in the Polish League have always been known as cheap, and his worth does not mean that he has no Ability, on the contrary, can explain his excellence.

If he does not perform well, I am afraid that he will soon be criticized as the biggest parallel importer.

Gama clenched his fist secretly.

Of course, the only thing that makes Gama happy about this handsome Polish guy is that he is the same height as himself.

Don't blame Gama for being happy just because of this. Looking at the group of big, tall and handsome guys in Dortmund in front of him, it's understandable to have a little inferiority complex about his stature--what a fart!

When he finally found a short handsome guy in the team, Jia Ma finally swallowed his inner muttering, but does this guy look a little too young?

At this time, a certain big dick in the future is now feeling a murderous aura.

Hehe, Gama blankly wiped away the slander in his heart - he remembered that the handsome guy in front of him was the main force of the German U17 national team last year, and he is only 18 years old this year.

There are too many geniuses in this world, how can I be better than these people.

After the World Cup, Gama, who was a little proud, finally suppressed his anxiety. His goal now is to win the team's main position as soon as possible.

"Gama!"

"gentlemen!"

"You go to the substitute team for the practice match."

"Okay, sir!"

Putting on the white vest of the substitute team, Gama ran over calmly.

Although he is not familiar with his teammates, he is not afraid. This is the test for him.

The coach is testing his adaptability to the team, and he has watched a lot of game videos of the team before, so he can perform even if he is not familiar with it.

…………

2010-2011德国甲级联赛将在2010年8月21日拉开战幕。

And before that, what they saw first was the appetizer: the final of the German Super Cup.

On August 8, Bayern Munich played against Schalke 7.

For Gama, who spends time watching football to save electricity and only watches the games of giants, he only has a superficial understanding of the German league. He knows that Bayern Munich is a super big name in German football. The so-called German football is Bayern Munich and other teams.In Germany, because many players don't like to go abroad to play football, it has become the ideal of many German players to go to Bayern Munich after playing.

By the way, the handsome Hummels in the team seems to have been loaned to Dortmund from Bayern Munich.

Jia Ma glanced at the handsome guy sitting over there—even if he is one of the top guys in the handsome boy group, he can only see the scene where he is surrounded by female fans in every public training session. knew.

"how do you feel?"

As a newcomer transferred at the same time, Lewandowski next to him asked Gama.

Looking up at the game on TV, Gama shrugged, "I guess Bayern Munich will win."

"Yes!"

Lewandowski stared at the screen, "That's Bayern Munich!"

Jia Ma, who wanted to say "Are you envious?", glanced at him and swallowed the words that were on his lips.

It's not a good habit to talk lightly.

As Bayern Munich beat Schalke 2 0-04 at the end of the game, Gama heard Lewandowski whisper, "Bayern Munich!"

After gathering for the new season, Borussia Dortmund chose several second- and third-tier teams not far away from them for a few warm-up matches. In addition, they only played a game at home with Manchester City in the Premier League on August 8. In friendly matches, Gama almost always came off the bench in the second half of these warm-up matches. As far as performance is concerned, it can only be said to be neither good nor bad. For Wandowski, his performance is indeed average.

However, coach Klopp doesn't seem to care about Gama's mediocre performance. Klopp turned a blind eye to the "mistakes" and "parallel imports" reported in the media.

Gama himself was not in a hurry.

He clearly knows why he performed poorly in the warm-up match. Apart from not adapting to the German football style, there is also the constant adjustment of his position and role on the field by the coach.

The discipline of the German players on the court is really surprising. Therefore, Gama’s connection command cannot be as random as Portugal’s. There is also a running area, and his freedom on the court is also restricted. In terms of control The cooperation is not yet proficient.

However, Gama believes that as long as he works hard and develops a tacit understanding with his teammates, his performance will definitely get better and better.

I believe this is also the plan of the coach Klopp, so he did not comment on Gama in the accident world.

"how have you been?"

On the phone, Agostinho asked Gama.

Knowing that he was worried about the recent criticism from the media, Jia Ma smiled slightly, "It's okay."

"Then the first game of the league?"

"I won't start!"

"……Is it!"

"Don't worry! It's still a long time!"

Gama laughed.

The author has something to say:

PS: Transition chapter!Later, Lewandowski fell out with Dortmund in order to transfer to Bayern Munich. Dortmund refused to let him go and said that he would rather let him transfer freely than to let him go. As a result, Bayern Munich also said that Lewandowski, you boy, stay in Dortmund for a year. Next year Free transfer again! ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ
