Ender's Football

In this way, Sieghard broke into Ender's experience about the game tonight, and he is really a young man who knows football, the World Cup and the German players very well.His understanding of the German team made Ender feel that if he wasn't a fanatic fan of the German team, he would probably be the kind of person who lived with these players all day long.

Because he not only has a good understanding of the main players on the court, but also can accurately call out the names of the substitute players and the coaching team on the sidelines, and even know their previous resumes.

So, even though Ender didn't like his coat, which smelled heavily of cologne and alcohol, he kept chatting with him.

The more we talked, the more he discovered that this boy who he thought might be a punk boy was actually well-bred and he was very measured in his interactions with other people.After discovering that Ender was from abroad, he continued to speak English with Ender, and occasionally told him very humorously about the German pronunciation of football terms.

He doesn't have the sense of superiority that Ender often feels, or any expression that makes you feel curious, prejudiced, and arrogant. He has always had a special temperament about him, which can both dominate the conversation and make you feel natural .

"That's Hans Flick, he is the hero behind the shaping of this national team," Sieghard pointed to another man standing next to the German coach Joachim Loew before the game started. De said, "His set-piece training is very effective in the national team, and he also has a deep understanding of offensive and defensive tactics."

"You seem to be very confident that the German team will win the championship?" Ender asked.

He noticed that when Sigerhard talked about the game, he was not as nervous as Stanzel. He had a natural demeanor and a firm tone, as if the German team would definitely be the final winner.

Sieghard smiled at Ender: "Of course."

Now he was no longer backlit, and the light sources in the stadium were mainly concentrated on the big screen in front of them, so Ender could see Sigurhard's appearance in full view.

He really has a god-favored face, with blond hair that is nearly platinum in bright light, but reverts to brilliant pure gold in natural light; A very shallow dimple, which makes his smile seem relatable.

Ender always felt that his face was a little familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen someone who looked like him.

In the No. 11 minute of the match between Germany and Brazil in the World Cup semi-finals, Thomas Muller received a cross from the corner in the penalty area and kicked the ball into the goal with a light lift.

The audience sitting in the central court of Uwensburg, together with the German fans who went to the World Cup site, cheered together. Surrounded by this atmosphere, Ander stood up involuntarily, cheering and applauding with others The first goal of this strong dialogue.

——It is worth mentioning that Stanzel is probably the most excited one in this row of celebrations. He raised his glass and cheered. The liquid in the glass hit crystal foam on the wall of the glass. , and hugged the fan next to him who had taken off his shirt and showed his shirtless shoulders.

Seeing that Stanzel turned to celebrate with him, Ender thanked him for his kindness, and quickly sat down first, turning his head to Sigurhard on the other side.

The boy was also looking at him, and when he saw his eyes looking over, he raised his eyebrows quite confidently, and what he said was right.

"Brazil's corner kick defense actually missed people!" Ander half surprised.

Sieghard laughed, with dimples looming on his face: "Didn't I say that, our set-piece training is very effective, and we will definitely win."

The direction of the game this night was indeed as he said.

In the next game, Milo Klose and Toni Kroos scored goals one after another. The German team scored 25 goals in 4 minutes. Scored five goals!And the host Brazil team failed at their home court and under the watchful eyes of the people of the whole country!

Whether it is far away in Brazil or in Germany, the German fans are already rejoicing. Many people started to celebrate the victory of the game (and it was a massacre victory!) 45 minutes in advance, while the Brazilian fans in the field But I couldn't bear to watch anymore, the camera showed a heartbroken Brazilian fan, and she was crying until her eyes were blurred.

The mentality of the players on the field has also changed.

In the second half, it was obvious that the players of the German team began to relax, and their goalkeeper Manuel Neuer blocked several Brazilian attacks after the start of the second half to keep the German team's goal No goals conceded.

"Look at Manu's extensibility—" After seeing these few saves, Sigerhard's eyes lit up, "He is too strong! His goal line technology—that extreme reaction speed, And his flexibility!"

In his desperation, he was so excited that he forgot that Ender couldn't understand German, and he poured out his praise all at once.

Ender made a gesture of spreading his hands innocently at him. Only then did Sieghard realize that the other party could not understand German, so he immediately switched back to English mode and recited the hymn he had just given to Neuer.

"...I really like Manu so much, he is really... how to describe it, it is my dream," he concluded in the end, "I like his aggressiveness, and his self-confidence. When I was young, the youth training coach always asked the goalkeeper to 'don't make mistakes' and 'try to save every ball'. The children who played together didn't like this position. They always felt that it was the furthest away from football. place...and Manu showed me that as a goalkeeper you can do so much more than that."

His eyes sparkled when he said these words, and anyone could sense his excitement.

Ander was keenly aware of Sieghard's love for the goalkeeper position, and he was thinking about trying out the next step. He asked Sigurhard, "Are you the goalkeeper, Sigurhard?"

"Yes," the boy replied decisively. He showed a subtle and confident smile at Ander, "Let me introduce myself. I am currently the main goalkeeper of the Bayern Munich U17 youth team and the captain of the German U17 youth team."

Bayern Munich is the absolute overlord of the Bundesliga. Their youth team has developed fairly well over the years. These young people are in the top German football team, not only have stronger attention than other peers, There is also the opportunity to play with the team in the UEFA Youth League.

Being selected for the German U17 means that the players are already the youth reserves of the national team. Many of these young players will have the opportunity to play for the German national team in the future, standing in the World Cup just like the seniors who swept the Brazilian team on the big screen today. on the playing field.

"Ah..." Ender blinked his eyes. He thought he was following Stanzel to watch a game, but he didn't expect to meet the captain of the European national youth team just by chance!

No wonder he talked about the German team so well, but also with a faint sense of pride.Ender thought it was because he was German.

He didn't feel that Sighard was lying to himself-there were photos and news when the national football associations recruited players, and it didn't make much sense to fabricate such a lie that could be exposed by just searching the Internet.

"Hush——" Sieghard made a small gesture to him, and Ender turned his head to look at Stanzel. His uncle was still immersed in the joy of the German team's victory over the Brazilian team, and he was enthusiastic with the other side. The fans were drinking and singing, not hearing what they were just saying.

"There's nothing interesting about the next game," Sieghard said. He thought for a while and invited Ander, "Boy, can you play football? Let's go to the nearby street football field?"

"Can you?" Ender's eyes lit up.Of course he wants to play football with Sieghard!This is the captain of the German U17 team - although he is a player in the goalkeeper position, so what, it is of course good to have close contact!

"As long as your uncle agrees." Sieghard smiled and rubbed Ender's head.

Normally, if someone put his hand on his head, Ander would run away immediately.But at the moment he was so happy that he didn't even bother to brush away Sigurhard's hand, so he grabbed Stanzel's clothes and asked as calmly as possible: "Stanzel, I want to talk to Sighard Let's play football together, at the nearby football field, okay?"

Stanzel and the others were cheering, and when he heard Ander's words, he immediately became more than half awake. He came back to his senses, frowned and looked at Sigurhard who was standing behind Ender, with doubts in his eyes: "With him?"

"Yes." Ender nodded.

Stanzel's eyes immediately became clear: "Ender, I still hope you can stay with me."

"But... Sighard is not a bad guy," Ender said, and he turned around to ask for Sighard's opinion before whispering to Stanzel, "He is the captain of the U17 German team and the Bayern U17 team leader. The captain - I want to play football with him, it's nearby."

Stanzel didn't expect that he just went to celebrate for a while, and the cheap child who had just brought back from China had already been abducted by a little fox who didn't know where he came from.

He looked at Sieghard vigilantly: "But we don't have a training base for the German team in Uwensburg, and we have a four-hour drive from Munich. If he is really the captain of the U17, how could he appear here? "

Sieghard was a little helpless, and explained: "Have you forgotten, Stuttgart is less than an hour's drive from here, where the youth team recently trained, and my teammates and I drove over to Uwensburg, just in time to be here. Showing live games, so..." He shrugged.

Stanzel was still skeptical: "You said you came with your teammates, where are your teammates?"

This question made it difficult for Sieghard to speak. He hesitated for a moment and said, "They went to another place...they had a party."

His hesitation made Stanzel even more incredulous.

In the end, Sieghard had no choice but to turn on his mobile phone. His social media homepage has a certification mark, and now he has 10,000+ fans, and in the news about the youth team, the photos of the players can also match his. face.

"Well, even if you really are Sigerhard," Stanzel said, "I still want you to take into account our kid's situation—he's just arrived in this city, doesn't know his way home, doesn't He speaks German, and if he gets lost with you, it will be difficult for us to find him."

He said and added: "He is the treasure of my mother and me. We are not preventing him from going out, but we hope that he can go out and play when he is capable and familiar with this place. I hope you can understand."

Hearing what Stanzel said, Ender's excitement dissipated a lot. He was eager to try it just now, and wanted to see Sigerhard, the German U17 captain, at a close distance, but now Stanzel Reality issues knocked him back into quail form.

Sieghard also expressed his understanding: "I understand your concerns... I don't think you may think that I have the ability to take care of Ender and prevent him from going home?"

"Boy," Stanzel said, "I'd probably trust you more if your coat didn't smell like nightclubs before you made the pledge."

It was only then that Ender realized that the pungent smell of cologne, perfume, and alcohol on Sieghard's body came from the nightclub... No wonder he hesitated for so long when he mentioned the whereabouts of his teammates.

Sieghard also figured out the key point-Stanzel thought he was also a "nightclub guy".

He pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache: "This belongs to my teammates, I don't go with them...really."

But his words are not convincing to the parents, and the goal of playing football with Ender can only be given up.

They ended up exchanging names with each other.

"I'm going to tryouts in a while," Ender said, smiling at Sieghard for the first time. "Hope to see you on the court in the future."

"I wish you success," replied Sieghard.
