Chapter 168 Goodbye Kid's Status

There was a deafening salute at the Fritz Walter Stadium. After all, it was a home victory. The Red Devils players waved to the audience as they walked, thanking them for their support for the home team.

Klose walked behind Bai Xiaotian alone, patted him on the back, and asked in half-baked English, "Are your feet okay?"

"It's okay, maybe it's just a little swollen." The bandage hasn't been removed yet, and Bai Xiaotian doesn't know the situation yet.But judging from the feeling, most of them are swollen.

"Then you should pay attention when you go back, and try to raise it within a week."

Looking at the somewhat shy Polish boy, Bai Xiaotian's heart, which had just been sad because of an own goal, melted like a spring.

"Of course, I am also looking forward to confronting you again."

The two walked off the court side by side, which was captured and washed down by a local reporter.Several years later, the first photo of these two world-class strikers became his family heirloom.

"You jump really high." Klose expressed his sincere admiration, "You are the highest jumping football player I have ever seen."

"Thank you for your compliment. It's nothing to jump high. But I believe that one day you will definitely become a world-class star."

"Oh? Why? Just because I scored a goal?" Klose asked curiously.

"Because I believe in you!" Looking into Klose's eyes, Bai Xiaotian vowed.Then he took off his jersey and handed it over.

The Polish boy froze for a moment, then quickly took off his jersey and handed it to Bai Xiaotian.

After Bai Xiaotian caught it, he never let go, as if he was afraid of being regretted by the other party.

Facts have proved that Bai Xiaotian's approach is correct.More than ten years later, with the height reached by Klose, a Werder Bremen jersey can be sold for more than 100 million euros, and the Kaiserslautern jersey in Bai Xiaotian's hands has been sold more than ten times.Except for Klose's own collection, there are almost no second ones on the market.

Although Bai Xiaotian also reached a very high status in football at that time, he gave away too many Eindhoven jerseys, and basically every well-known star had one, so Bai Xiaotian's early jerseys were basically rotten and worthless.Through this incident, everyone discovered that anyone who Bai Xiaotian took the initiative to ask for a change of jersey will be a guy of great value in the future.

Gretz and Breno went to the post-match press conference together. The head coaches of the two teams expressed their approval of the performance of the players in the summary of the team.Then in terms of mutual evaluation, they basically gave five-star praise.Just during the reporter's questioning period, a reporter from the UK raised a question that made Gretz very headache.

"Hello, Mr. Gretz, I'm Polk, a reporter from the British Daily Mail. May I ask why you didn't replace the goodbye boy after he was knocked down?"

Regarding this problem, Gretz also knew that he could not hide from it.But after all, it was his own negligence, which allowed a young player to play a high-intensity game with an injury for more than ten minutes, so he could only answer positively, "Because of the team's tactical needs, Bai needs to stay on the field and conduct targeted defense. And he stood up after being tackled, so I don't know if he was injured."

"That is to say, this is a substitution mistake by you?" Polk asked again.

"Yes, this is indeed a mistake of mine. If I saw that he was no longer suitable for defending on the field, I would definitely replace him. There will be no final goal, so I think in this matter, I am mostly responsible for the team's loss."

"Okay sir, I see, thank you." Polk nodded, without further questioning.

For him, it doesn't matter who the two teams win or lose, and he doesn't care whether the coaches of the two teams succeed or make mistakes.To put it bluntly, he didn't come to see the jokes of the two teams, nor did he even come to find out the "enemy situation", he came to evaluate the talents.

The Eredivisie giants have always been the star processing factories of the five major leagues. Eindhoven recently appeared a young Chinese boy, and such news has gradually spread to the ears of the major giants.It's just that Bai Xiaotian didn't make many appearances, and his performance was not outstanding enough, so most of the people kept waiting and watching.

But there is one exception. He can hear some things from other people's mouths that scouts and newspapers can't find out.That's right, he is Sir Alex Ferguson.

Van Nistelrooy, who is now on the bench, is basically recovering from his injury in Eindhoven, and went to Manchester United to play after recovering from his injury.Manchester United is rich and powerful, and it is normal for PSV to be its sanatorium.

Through the conversation with Fanny, Ferguson learned about Bai Xiaotian's past and some of Bai Xiaotian's qualities.

The old man is very interested in young people like Bai Xiaotian.He doesn't care where Bai Xiaotian comes from, what he cares about is discovering football golden boys from all over the world, and then digging them to Manchester United to play for the Premier League Red Devils.And the old man's vision is not bad at all, Beckham and Cristiano are typical examples.

So although Polk is a British reporter, he didn't go to watch the match between Porto and Liverpool. Instead, he came to Germany with a mission to evaluate this young Chinese boy.

After one match, Bai Xiaotian's performance was remarkable.As a forward, his performance on the offensive end is not outstanding, but he works very hard on the defensive end.Especially with his extraordinary jumping ability, he can overwhelm players who are fifteen centimeters taller than him.From this point of view, Bai Xiaotian does have the potential to become a star.

Although the end of the game was not satisfactory, and even scored an own goal.But Polk also knew that this was because Bai Xiaotian played with an injury.In addition, he is not a defensive player in the first place, and he has done so many things on the defensive end, and he has dedicated himself to it.

What Polk wanted to know was how PSV viewed this player.The answer is obvious, head coach Gretz can even take all the responsibilities on himself in order to protect the players.Even the mistakes made by the players are summarized, for fear that the players will be attacked by the outside media.

Thinking of this, Polk probably has an evaluation of Bai Xiaotian.Although Eindhoven is not as good as Manchester United, Philips is not a fool, and Gretz is not Bai Xiaotian's godfather.They can protect a young player like this, which undoubtedly proves that this player has extremely high training value.Polk knew that he had to go to Eindhoven seven days later.

Gretz took all the responsibility and took all the responsibilities on himself. Coupled with his humble attitude and calm tone, the media were not happy.The post-match press conference also ended quickly. The reporters of each newspaper office reported the situation here to the newspaper office, and their superiors decided what the headlines would be tomorrow.

At this moment, Gretz is taking Van Bommel and hurriedly walking in the corridor leading to the dressing room.

Before that, Gretz had asked many times about Bai Xiaotian's injury, and Van Bommel's answer was almost the same every time, and he almost memorized the answer.

Just after the game, Gretz saw Bai Xiaotian's ankle, which was already swollen and disfigured.Thinking of this, Gretz quickened his pace again, wishing to have the ability to shrink the ground into an inch, and immediately went back to the locker room to confirm Bai Xiaotian's situation.

Seeing that the head coach quickened his pace, Van Bommel could only comfort him, "Coach, Bai didn't hurt his bones. If he did, he wouldn't last that long."

"What do you know? How old are you? Do you know that during World War II, the Chinese went to the battlefield with wounds, and some of them kept shooting until they died, but their bodies were already mutilated. The Chinese people's perseverance in dealing with pain is beyond your imagination."

"OK, fine." Van Bommel had nothing to say.In fact, what he meant was that Bai Xiaotian was not an ignorant person, he was very clear about his injuries and the situation.But looking at the anxious look of the coach, it is obvious that this sentence is not suitable to say again.The door to the Eindhoven locker room also appeared not far in front of the two.
