Legendary Road

The setting sun on the west side of the sky has not yet completely set on the horizon, and the early summer evening breeze blows over Dortmund's training base. The dim yellow setting sun and the bright stadium lights are mixed together, and the crooked shadows of the boys are reflected on the ground.

Yan Jing remembered that a year ago, at about this time and in such a scene, he gave these boys the first training session, but now it's time to say goodbye.

"I have not joined Dortmund for a long time, even shorter than many of you." Yan Jing said with a smile, "The first time I saw you was in the game against Werder Bremen last year. Said To be honest, I was very impressed with that game, whether it was the first half or the second half. In the first half, especially Tony and Damm, you two impressed me no less than Mario who shined in the second half .”

Tony and Dam, who were named by Yan Jing, blushed.

Cough cough, that quarrel was just a moment of excitement, boss, you don't need to mention it again!

"Then after halftime, I lost my temper with you in the locker room, saying that you played like shit." Yan Jing recalled his actions at the time, and was quite emotional, "I scolded you a lot. If you don’t, you’re even threatened with not allowing you to continue playing in Dortmund.”

The players who were selected for that game will probably never forget what Yan Jing said to them for the rest of their lives - shit, idiots, rubbish, headless flies, trusting relationships, and going through the back door.

But now they looked at Yan Jing's smiling face, but they didn't feel disgusted or disgusted at all, but more reluctantly.

In fact, Yan Jing also thought about hiding his original identity forever, but after thinking about it for a long time, he thought it would be better to tell them about it: "Actually, I have a secret, and probably only Mario in the team knows about it." .”

The boss's secret?Only Mario knows?The team members invariably turned their heads to look at the calm-faced Gotze.

Ge Ce naturally understood that what Yan Jing was referring to was that his original identity was just an equipment custodian. After hearing Yan Jing's words, his first reaction was to be a little elated—the boss has a secret, but only he knows it. .

"I was indeed invited by Mr. Zorc to become your head coach." Yan Jing blinked, "But before that, I successfully applied for the position of Dortmund's equipment administrator."

"……what?!"

"Boss, can you have a level of joking?"

"Boss, in fact, I didn't come to participate in Dortmund's youth training. I just came to be a volunteer during the summer vacation. Can you believe it?"

The young players all expressed their disbelief—are you kidding, it was just an equipment manager who scolded them bloody in the locker room and then directed their reversal in the second half of the game?

Believe it or not!

However, when everyone was talking, Tony noticed that Gotze hadn't spoken. He pushed aside the people around him and squeezed to Getze's side, and slapped Gotze on the shoulder.

"Mario, is what the boss said true?"

"Uh..." Gotze looked at Tony, who was much taller than him, and then turned his head to look at the unconcerned expression on Yan Jing's face, and then explained, "At that time, I kicked my boss unconscious and sent him to the hospital. Later, Mr. Zorc also came, and he mentioned that the boss is the new equipment manager of our club."

"..."

The eyeballs of a group of players almost popped out. They stared at Gotze's face closely, trying to find a clue of lying, but they failed.

My God, this is fucking unscientific!

"Mario, you are so mean, you didn't even tell us!" Tony was angry at Gotze's concealment of military sentiment.

"But you never asked me, I thought you all knew." Gotze said that he was too innocent.

"If I really knew, then I would have punched my head in the locker room!" Damm said straight from his heart, "I would have said, 'Damn, who are you, who cares? How do we play?'"

Royce was also in shock. Although he did not participate in the U13 match against Werder Bremen, from the first time he saw Yan Jing, he never thought that Yan Jing was just a Equipment manager.

A Chinese with no previous coaching experience became the head coach of Dortmund's U13 team just by conducting a temporary game in Germany.

This sounds like a fantasy, but it really happened before their eyes.

"So I actually have to thank you." Yan Jing laughed and joked to the young players, "If you didn't play that game so badly, I don't think I would have the chance to coach a team in my life. Of course, the salary will be much less than it is now.”

Hearing Yan Jing's words, except for Gotze, the Dortmund team members with complicated emotions had only one expression on their faces.

Embarrassing, especially embarrassing.

"It was you who gave me this opportunity, even though it may sound unbelievable to you." Yan Jing continued on his own, "I was just a Chinese student who just graduated from the University of Dortmund, and I also love football , love Dortmund."

"At first I couldn't even find a job, which at one point gave me the idea of ​​going home, and then I saw an ad for Dortmund looking for an equipment manager. I thought, 'Why not give it a try? It's something you like. football-related jobs' and I passed the interview."

"And then on my first day at work, I had a bad day and Mario kicked me in the hospital with a beautiful fly. I woke up and thought this job sucked, but you guys Look, now I'm the manager of Dortmund's U13s."

Listening to Yan Jing's story, the boys couldn't help but think of a sentence--when God closes a door for you, he will also open a window for you.

"Honestly speaking, maybe most of you will never be able to wear yellow and black jerseys to play for the team you love, and may even give up your dream of making a career because of the cruelty of professional football. "

"So what? While professional footballers make a lot of money, money isn't the measure of everything."

"I'm sure you have worked hard, fought hard, loved deeply, and enjoyed everything that football brings to you, including laughter and tears." Yan Jing said with a smile, "I want to say goodbye to you , but the dream will not say goodbye to you.”

"Isn't that enough?"

The boys thought awkwardly.Nima, boss, what are you doing so sensational, it would be more fun to punish us for running laps...

Yan Jing took out a bound document and a CD from his pocket, both of which had Tony's name written on them.

He walked up to Tony and handed him the document in his hand: "Tony, this is yours."

"Boss, what is this?" Tony took the document and the CD from Yan Jing, and looked suspiciously at the document with "Training Plan for Tony" printed on the cover.

"Don't you know the name? The training plan." Yan Jing patiently explained, "This is a summary and training plan I specially designed for you. It contains your usual strengths and weaknesses. In response to these problems, I I tried to draw up a training plan to solve these problems, including suggestions for future development directions. In this CD, I edited many technical movements corresponding to the data, and there are also some pictures of you making mistakes during training. You can use This reference serves as a template."

"This……"

Tony looked at Yan Jing in surprise, he squeezed the document unconsciously, it was not thick, maybe less than ten pages, but Yan Jing's full intentions made his nose tingle.

For Tony, he thinks he is not a genius or a future star. He is far less eye-catching than Gotze and Reus in the Dortmund U13 team, and he often jumps up and down to make Yan Jing lose his temper-but only under Yan Jing After playing football for a year, he has received such attention from Yan Jing.

Tony opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, until the end he spit out words of thanks in a daze, "Thank you, boss."

The other team members also stared at the thick pocket in a daze. Needless to say, they already knew what was in it, and they also understood the reason why their leader had such serious dark circles.

Yan Jing then handed over the documents one by one to the team members with different expressions.

"Adolf, your physical fitness is very good, but your foot skills are still lacking. You should train more in this area in the future."

"Stefan, I think your template should be Roy Keane. You have enough hardness in the confrontation, and your character is destined to not be the kind of weak and unbearable player."

"Dam, I once said that there is too much difference between you and Carlos, but now your progress makes me have to take back what I said. Work harder and surpass Carlos to become the world's number one left back, why not? "

A group of young players stood there holding the documents and CDs in their hands, their eyes red, and they all expressed in their hearts that they didn't know why they got sand in their eyes.

How could they be moved... Bah, bah, they were definitely not moved by the boss, absolutely not!

Yan Jing finally came to Getze. He saw the chubby Getze smirking at him, and he suddenly felt a little powerless.

To be honest, due to various reasons in his previous life, he will always be more partial to Gotze in the team, which is reflected in the stricter training requirements and enthusiastic exchanges with Gotze.

Other team members would naturally think that this is the special treatment due to geniuses, but Yan Jing knew in his heart that the reason he did this was entirely because of his own selfishness - he hoped that through his various actions, he could imprint Dortmund more deeply. In Mario Gotze's heart, in this case, the possibility of Gotze's transfer to Bayern may be less in the future.

But now it seems that what I have done is probably useless, Yan Jing thought a little self-deprecatingly, who would change his future life plan just because of an ordinary coach who has only been with him for a year?

Getze looked at Yan Jing in front of him in a daze and didn't say anything. He thought Yan Jing didn't make a training plan for him, so he poked Yan Jing angrily.

"Boss, don't you do my share?"

Yan Jing, who was lightly poked by the child, withdrew his thoughts. He couldn't help laughing when he saw Gotze's bulging cheeks, which looked more like a meat ball.

"Of course I did." Yan Jing tried to poke Goetze's chubby face, "How could I forget our little genius Mario?"

Getze took the things with a face of "this is not bad", Yan Jing continued to laugh.

"When our Mario becomes a big star in the future, I can still brag to the children in the youth academy - 'Look, I once coached the legendary Dortmund star Mario Gotze.' Right, When I ask you for an autograph in the future, don't put on airs and pretend you don't know me."

"I wouldn't do that!" Gotze retorted immediately after hearing Yan Jing's words, and then he hesitated for a long time, muttering in a voice that only he and Yan Jing could hear.

"And boss, haven't we made an agreement?"

"You said... I'm going to be Dortmund's world-renowned player, and you're Dortmund's legendary coach."
