Chapter 319
(The second watch asks for a monthly pass, and the third watch may be later, around 11 o'clock.)
One week before the final, Peng Xiaolang from Hertha Berlin called Li Huan, saying that during the match, he called on the Chinese fans in Berlin and Hertha Berlin fans to go to the scene to cheer him on. If Li Huan had time, he would take Li Huan to Berlin to have a good time. Wander around and see the famous sights mentioned in history textbooks such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Wall, and the Reichstag.On the day Hoffenheim left for Hertha Berlin, Peng Xiaolang called Li Huan again to ask if Li Huan had time after arriving in Berlin. Shao Jia also came to Berlin. If he had time, he would drive Li Huan around and come together at night. Enjoy a bit of nightlife at Potsdamer Platz.Because if Hoffenheim wins the championship, Li Huan may not have time to stay in Berlin. He should go back and celebrate with the fans. Peng Xiaolang said that he feels that Hoffenheim is more likely to win the championship.

Li Huan is very grateful to Peng Xiaolang for his enthusiasm, but he still dare not say if he can spare time. After all, tomorrow is the final. Generally, domestic coaches prohibit players from going out without permission to avoid accidents.But what Li Huan didn't expect was that after staying in the hotel in Berlin, Lannick did not prohibit the players from going out, but only asked the players to come back before 12 o'clock, so as not to affect the clear final. Anyone who dares to come back one minute late will go to tomorrow's final The stands are ready to watch the game.Li Huan asked Salihovic, who had stayed in Hertha Berlin, and learned that Berlin's law and order is famous in Europe. As long as you don't meet a very small number of new revolutionaries with bald riding boots, there will be no problems.

In the past two years, Li Huan has visited South Germany and West Germany almost all over, but he seldom comes to the areas near East Germany. Li Huan rejected the invitation of several people from Eduardo, and called Peng Xiaolang to drive him to pick him up. When they were hours, Peng Xiaolang and Shao Jia drove the Audi to the hotel where Hoffenheim was located. The three of them exchanged simple greetings, and then Peng Xiaolang drove Li Huan around Berlin. Less than half, because the transportation in Berlin is very convenient, most residents don’t drive private cars, they either take the subway or take the tram, the environment is very quiet, the sky is blue and transparent, because the time is short, Peng Xiaolang just took Li Huan to browse After a while, the Berlin Wall still left a deep impression on Li Huan, because he not only saw cartoon graffiti full of strange imagination, but also saw advertisements written in Chinese characters like 'document 135XXXXXXXX'.Because tomorrow is the final of the German Cup, the atmosphere of the game is already very strong. Stuttgart fans wearing white jerseys, team flags and scarves can often be seen on the street, but Hoffenheim fans hardly see them.

Crossing Bodhi Tree Street to Potsdamer Platz, it was just after nine o'clock in the evening, and the nightlife in Berlin just kicked off. The three of them found a bar to sit down. It’s so accurate, it’s almost at the level of a tour guide.”

Peng Xiaolang poured wine for Li Huan and Shao Jia according to Chinese rules, and said with a wry smile: "There is no way, unlike you, Brother Li, you have become a big star in less than two years, with an annual salary of 200 million, and Brother Shao also went to the Bundesliga." I’ve played football, I’m a good-for-nothing, and I’m still in Hertha Berlin’s youth team, and in order to make more money, I occasionally take Chinese tourists to travel in Berlin.”

Peng Xiaolang's life was indeed a bit miserable, and it was because of this that Li Huan did not come to Berlin to play, so as not to make him emotional, Shao Jia took the conversation and said: "I am also a substitute in the Bundesliga, which is much worse than Li Huan. His annual salary is between The Bundesliga is also at an upper-middle level. However, Li Huan is also worthy of this annual salary. Without Li Huan this year, how can a team like Hoffenheim play in the Bundesliga and reach the final of the German Cup."

Li Huan smiled and said, "Brother Shao, don't say that. Hoffenheim has a lot of talented players, but they don't have much reputation. I can't do it alone."

Peng Xiaolang said: "Brother Li is really humble. In fact, no one knows that this is due to you. Otherwise, your club would have allowed you to earn almost the same salary as Coach Rangnick."

Shao Jiadao: "Xiao Lang is right, you are really proud of the Chinese people, even the small place where I live in Cottbus knows the great reputation of Xiao Li Fei Dao, my brother and I follow suit, the fans don't even see me Don’t dare to say something that underestimates Chinese players.”

Peng Xiaolang said: "Speaking of Brother Li's free kick, it's amazing, and there are many examples. I really doubt whether Brother Li is possessed by Li Xunhuan described by Gu Long. If I have this unique skill, I will immediately follow Bolin He Tower's manager slapped the table."

Li Huan drank beer leisurely and said, "You two are flattering me. I wonder if you are from Stuttgart undercover."

Peng Xiaolang and Shao Jia laughed, and Shao Jia said: "Speaking of tomorrow's final, your chances of winning are really slim. Stuttgart won eight consecutive victories in the end, their morale is high, and they have experience in finals. Your players are really good." Too tender."

Li Huan said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, anyway, we rest longer than them, drag them to death with physical strength during the game, and let them go to the skin if they don't die."

Shao Jia said: "This is your biggest advantage. We played against Stuttgart in the league. They also play offensively and have high physical requirements. As long as you can prevent them from scoring first, the two sides may fight a war of attrition. You really can do miracles."

Li Huan said: "Well, this is also what our coach thinks. In addition, Stuttgart's performance is unstable. We hope that they will perform worse tomorrow."

The three of them drank and chatted. After drinking for three rounds, Shao Jia suddenly said, "Li Huan, brother is two years older than you. Ask me something that shouldn't be asked. Do you want to join the German team?"

Li Huan was stunned, and said, "Brother Shao, no, I haven't thought about it."

Shao Jia said displeasedly: "Li Huan, I'm not someone who likes to tell tales. Why do you speak so harshly? I don't want to join the German team. Why did you refuse to participate in the Chinese team's competition? And you're looking for a German girlfriend."

Li Huan was not only surprised by the Chinese people's associative ability, he said: "To be honest, Brother Shao, Xiao Lang, I really don't have the idea of ​​joining the German team, but the Chinese team is such a mess, whoever enters can change it, nothing is wrong. Ask, just playing football is fine, but those uncles in the Football Association who don’t know shit but dictate the training all day long, who can stand it, and I can’t adapt to the management style of authoritarian parents. Let me tell you, if I really If you go in, you are guaranteed to be kicked out of the national team within three days."

Shao Jia and Peng Xiaolang couldn't help asking in unison: "Don't tell me you don't plan to join the national team in your life?"

Li Huan said calmly: "Look, it's not necessarily true. Maybe one day the coach and the officials of the Football Association make me feel pleasing, so I'll go in and kick a few kicks."

"My day." Peng Xiaolang couldn't help but swear, "Brother Li, I'm convinced, what is personality, you are personality, those guys with long hair and tattoos are compared to you, brother Li , They are just a bunch of immature children."

Shao Jia was much older, so the considerations were naturally different from Peng Xiaolang's, and he said, "Li Huan, Huanzi, if you don't see anyone, let me call you like this. It's very fun and chic for you to do this, but have you thought about it?" , What kind of regret is it for a professional player not to be able to play in the World Cup, especially a player like you, I dare say that in China, there is only one in 50 years. If you don’t play the World Cup, you are just an ordinary star. The status in the history of football has been raised to a higher level. Do you still remember Redondo who had a fight with Passarella because of his hair problem? He also lamented to his friends in private that hair can grow back after being cut, but after the World Cup, it will not Again. Yoshiko, you are not young anymore. You are 24 this year. By the time of the World Cup in South Africa, you will be 27 years old. If you miss it, your peak period in the next World Cup will be over. You Think about it carefully, and don't regret it for a lifetime for a momentary pleasure."

Li Huan had his own ideas, but after hearing Shao Jia's sincerity, he said, "Thank you Brother Shao, I will seriously consider it."

It is not that Shao Jia has no jealousy towards this rising star, but his jealousy is not too strong, and he is not a bad person. What he said just now is indeed for the good of Li Huan, but seeing what Li Huan said The words were insincere, and he said helplessly: "Okay, you have to decide this matter yourself, we can't drink too much wine today for too long, and we still expect you to win the spirit of the Chinese people tomorrow, if you can lead Huo Finnheim won the championship, that is the No.1 of our Chinese players."

Li Huan said: "How can I count as No.1, Sun Xiang has already won the league championship in the Eredivisie."

Shao Jia said disdainfully: "What kind of champion is he, but he has played a few games as a substitute. Ask him if you dare to admit it. You won the championship as a core player. Many people say that Hoffenheim is you A one-man team, as a defender, won the top scorer twice, grandma, I can't even envy your brother, the gap is too big."

Li Huan smiled and said: "Brother Shao is really flattered. I will work hard tomorrow, and at least I will go home with a championship. It is a shame that I haven't won a championship in two years."

Peng Xiaolang said: "Double champions, and the Bundesliga champions."

Li Huan looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock, and said: "Can I still mention the champion? Okay, let's stop here today, thank you Xiaolang for being the host, thank you Brother Shao for your kind words, if you can't win the championship, let's continue to drink after the game , if we win the championship, we will contact you after we return to China.”

"Good! That's all."

The three left the bar. Peng Xiaolang drove Li Huan back to the hotel where Hoffenheim was staying before going back with Shao Jia. Shao Jia temporarily stayed at Peng Xiaolang's house. After watching the German Cup, they went back to China together.
