Legendary Road

Zorc found that he still underestimated the reporter's ability.

Although he has communicated with the club up and down, he hopes to deal with Yan Jing's matter as low-key as possible.

However, those reporters who uphold "I will not be a human being until I find out the truth" learned the truth from some fans who watched the U13 echelon game.

"Huh? You mean our assistant coach?" A fan said excitedly in an interview, "Yes! I saw him at the training base last summer. He only took office as the U13 coach. I remember it was An U13 game against Werder Bremen - yes, he's Chinese, we fans who go to U13 games know that."

Zhang Li, the reporter of "Sports Weekly" based in Germany, will habitually buy a copy of "Bild" every day to see if there is any news worth noting or articles with translation value.

Although the "Bild" did not give a large space when reporting Yan Jing news, it was enough for Zhang Li to notice.

I'll go, this is the man I met in Gelsenkirchen!This is big news!

Excited, Zhang Li took the newspaper and called Qu Youyuan, the editor-in-chief of "Sports Weekly", and Qu Youyuan answered the phone very quickly.

"Xiao Zhang, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Qu, there is big news!" Zhang Li couldn't restrain his excitement, "It's the kind of news that can make our newspaper's sales soar!"

"Oh? What big news makes you so excited?"

"Didn't Dortmund have a new head coach Van Marwijk? Who do you think his assistant coach is?"

Qu Youyuan listened and scolded with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, don't be tricky, talk quickly!"

"It's the 'Oriental Wizard' we reported on! And the most important thing is that Bild has confirmed that he is Chinese!"

"real or fake?!"

Qu Youyuan immediately regained his spirits. At that time, they also reported the news of the "Oriental Wizard" during the Champions League and the European Cup. However, because there was no specific information, they only used a small section of the page and treated it as lace outside the stadium. Children's news to report.

Listening to Zhang Li's talk now, he, who is extremely sensitive to news, immediately smelled something unusual.

"Xiao Zhang, where's the manuscript? Send it over quickly!"

"I haven't written it yet...I called you as soon as I bought the newspaper, right? I'm on my way back, and I'll send it to you when I finish writing it!"

"By the way, how soon can you get his exclusive interview?"

"This..." Zhang Li was a little embarrassed, "I have to submit an interview application to the Dortmund Media Department. Although they are very efficient, it seems that they are not willing to allow reporters to interview from the past few days..."

"That's why you don't understand, Xiao Zhang, if the written procedure doesn't work, we can smuggle it." Qu Youyuan was a little bit instructing the younger generation, "You said he is Chinese, if that's the case, then he shouldn't Maybe we don’t give us any face! Besides, our "Sports Weekly" can be regarded as one of the best sports newspapers in China, so he should cooperate. Xiao Zhang, come on, the bonus is definitely indispensable for you of."

Zhang Li suddenly realized: "I know what to do, thank you Mr. Qu!"

On the afternoon after the European Cup players returned to the team, Dortmund's official website finally announced the information about Yan Jing as an assistant coach, but it was just a text link, which briefly introduced Xia Yanjing, and there was not much else content.

After a training session, Yan Jing tactfully expressed to Van Marwijk the possible consequences of such drastic changes to the team.

Van Marwijk is not stupid, he heard Yan Jing's implication, but he clearly expressed his determination to insist on change.Yan Jing couldn't say anything more, and followed Van Marwijk to officially enter the stage of reforming the team's formation.

Zorc found Jan Koller immediately after his return, because the news that the Czech giant wanted to hang up his boots was really not reassuring.

Jan Kohler expressed his apology to Zorc. At that time, he was very disappointed because the Czech team was eliminated by the Greek team in the European Cup. He said those words impulsively after being questioned by reporters.

Of course, there is no lack of media who over-exaggerated his words, making it seem that he really doesn't want to play football anymore.

In China, "Sports Weekly" was the first to publish the news that Yan Jing became Dortmund's assistant coach, which immediately attracted the attention of Chinese fans.

At this time, only Everton's Li Tie and Manchester City's Sun Jihai are the only players in China who can be regarded as the main players to go overseas to work hard. The coaching history is completely blank.

CCTV Five broadcast the news after verifying the news with Dortmund, and netizens immediately started discussions on this topic.

Title on the 1st floor: Is Yan Jing a German citizen?Otherwise, I would not believe that there are Chinese people who can be coaches abroad!

Reply from the 2nd floor: The landlord is an idiot?Go to the official website to see for yourself, it says they are Chinese.

Reply from the 3rd floor: It is actually true!But it still feels a bit too incredible... Does anyone have his information? ? ?

Reply from the 4th floor: Are there any children's shoes in Dortmund?Ask for popular science!

Reply from the 5th floor: I am not in Dortmund, I am in Frankfurt, but yesterday's "Bild" said so!

Reply from the 6th floor: Does anyone think that he is 24 years old this year?

Reply from the 7th floor: Damn, he's only 24, didn't he falsely report his age? !

Reply on the 8th floor: Yan Jing's work photo.jpg There are 24?Looks so young.

Reply from the 9th floor: ID has been pre-registered, no thanks.

……

However, Yan Jing didn't know about it. He was very busy these days.

The team's training, the group of kids clamoring for additional training, and the most annoying thing is the reporter who will appear suddenly at any time, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable for a while when he is used to leading the U13 team to practice once a week. Great fit.

Media reporters have never stopped their harassment of Yan Jing. After their application to the Dortmund Media Department for an interview was rejected, the reporters began to secretly wait in various places where Yan Jing might appear.

They hope to stop Yan Jing, but Yan Jing can always avoid them wisely, and then continue to train with the children next to the Westfalenstadion.

The kick-off time for the first round of the Bundesliga was August 2004, 8. During the training period, the Borussia Dortmund club arranged four pre-season warm-up games.The opponents are Cologne, which was relegated to the Bundesliga last season, Rostock in the Bundesliga, Newcastle United and Fulham in the Premier League.

Early this morning, Yan Jing came to the club ahead of everyone else, took out the physical examination reports of all the players from the physical examination room, went to the locker room to read and tidy up, and planned to hand them over to Van Marwijk later .

The first player to enter the locker room was Kyle. He was taken aback when he saw Yan Jing sitting on the bench, and then he greeted Yan Jing naturally: "Hey, Yan, good morning."

Kyle was once hailed as the hopeful star of the German team. He switched from Freiburg to Dortmund with a transfer price of 2001 million euros during the winter break of the 02/320 season. Since then, he has been playing for Dortmund for more than ten years.Although Kyle has been plagued by injury problems since a serious injury in the 06/07 season, and his competitive state has always been ups and downs, Dortmund fans respect him very much. player of.

Yan Jing raised his head upon hearing the sound, saw Kyle and responded with a smile: "Good morning, Bastian[Note 1], how did you rest last night? We are going to play against Cologne this afternoon."

"Not bad." Kyle shrugged and began to change his training clothes. "When will sir arrive?"

Both Kyle and Yan Jing were born in 1980, but Kyle is a few months older than Yan Jing.

Although Kyle was skeptical about Yan Jing's ability at the beginning, after a few days of getting along with him and most of the Dortmund team members, he let go of his prejudice against Yan Jing's age.

Yan Jing looked at his watch, recalled the usual time when Van Marwijk arrived at the club, and answered: "There are still ten minutes."

At this moment, another player, David O'Donnell, also came in. With a cheerful personality, he greeted them happily when he saw them.

"Yohoo! Bastian, Yan, you guys are really early."

Odon Kerr is a player from Dortmund's youth academy. His mother is German and his father is Ghanaian.Although he is only 20 years old this year, he has not been able to get a stable starting position in Dortmund, but he is still very optimistic about his prospects in Dortmund.

"Morning, David."

The players came to the dressing room one after another before Van Marwijk arrived. They chatted together, food, sports cars, and even women.Perhaps it was because Yan Jing was about the same age as them, and they didn't care about Yan Jing who was sitting in the middle and looking at the medical report.

Van Marwijk arrived at the locker room on time. Before he stepped into the locker room, Yan Jing coughed twice deliberately to remind a group of players and coaches who were chatting enthusiastically that the coach had arrived.

"Go faster! Dede, press forward!"

多特蒙德现在的场面很难看，队员们还没有完全适应4-3-3的攻防节奏，再者多特蒙德的人员配置本身就不是为4-3-3而打造的，这让几个尝试打新位置的球员很不适应。

The brightest star in Cologne was their 19-year-old supernova Lukas Podolski, who single-handedly confuse Dortmund's defense.

Seeing Podolski's excellent performance, Van Marwijk on the sidelines couldn't help asking Yan Jing about the supernova's situation: "Yan, do you know the No. 10 Podolski of the Cologne team?"

The author has something to say: Note 1: In Europe and the United States, people are used to calling him Bastian as Sebastian's nickname or abbreviation.
