Chapter 5: Diamond Peninsula Klopp

　　The calm German canal flowed to Hanover, the water surface suddenly opened a lot, the river channel also turned a big forty-degree bend here, and the arc continued to leave quietly northeast. Where the river turns, the water surface is extremely open, forming a huge fan-shaped lake. Looking from a very high place, the river and the lake are like a slender ring set with a huge diamond.
　　On the surface of the diamond lake, there is a small peninsula extending from the land. The Fort Mady Football Club and Victor Football Stadium are located on this peninsula.

　　 After lunch hurriedly, Zhuo Yang rode his bicycle. He bought the bicycle from a second-hand second-hand supermarket on campus, where there are various items used by many students to exchange or sell. Zhuo Yang is interested in this bike because it has a bell that rings "bang, bang".
　　 Wenqing people always like to use nostalgia to advertise their feelings. Zhuo Yang inherits the dull sorrow of his father Zhuo Tongtong's blood. The ringtone of "Dangdang, Dangdang" is like a postman who walked the streets in the 1970s.
　　 came to Fort Mady Football Club, explained the intention to the uncle of the janitor, and after the uncle's instructions, Zhuo Yang found the office of Chairman Mullen. In the office also saw the legendary secretary-Sylvia.
　　After some simple negotiations, Zhuo Yang and Chairman Mullen negotiated all the contract terms. Signing a semi-professional young player is not a complicated matter, not to mention the club president himself.
　　 Weekly salary of 1,200 Euros, one-year contract, goal award and appearance fee. To Zhuo Yang's surprise, he also received a signature fee of five thousand euros.
　　 This is the first time Zhuo Yang has his own income in his life. The number is not small so that he has a feeling of being rich.
　　 "Sylvia," Angus Mullen said to his little sweetheart secretary, "You go and tell Jurgen to come to me."
　　 Sylvia looked at the waist and swayed the willow with a smile, and Zhuo Yang had a very ridiculous feeling.
　　 "I just became a semi-professional football player?" Zhuo Yang was a little ridiculous. "My mother asked me to come to Germany because I was in trouble at home. I didn't expect to be here, but I became a football player." What a surprise!
　　 The door of the office was pushed open, walked in alone, and Zhuo Yang, who was outside the wandering thing, looked up and looked intently: Oo, a good man!
　　 I saw that the person was wearing a collar used and old used blue sportswear. He was in his early thirties. His eyes were double-eyed and his eyebrows were divided. With a height of one meter and eighty-five, his shoulders wide and his back wide, he walked on a wide stride. With stubble all over his face, his brown hair was messed up on his forehead, and there was some vicissitudes in the sloppy. The black framed glasses on the bridge of the nose buckled on the flat and wide face were not very coordinated.
　　 "Angus, are you looking for me?" said Dahan Chong Mullen, the voice was loud and slightly hoarse.
　　 "Juergen, let me introduce you. This is Zhuo, Zhuoyang, from China." Angus Mullen stood up and said. "Zhuo, this is the head coach of the club's youth team, Jurgen Klopp."
　　 "Hello, Mr. Klopp!" Zhuo Yang looked polite.
　　 "Hello, Zhuo. From China? Well, you speak German very well." Klopp looked at Zhuo Yang with some surprise.
　　 "Thank you, Mr. Klopp, your German is also very good." Zhuo Yang stepped forward to hold Klopp's right hand and shook it twice.
　　 "Ha ha ha ha, Jurgen, see it, this is a funny little guy." Chairman Angus Mullen's laugh point is obviously not high. "Zhuo is my newly signed player. I gave him to you. I think you will like him."
　　 Angus Mullen, as a consistently strong club owner, signs a young player as the leader, anyone will feel normal, and Jurgen Klopp is of course no exception.
　　 "Juergen, Zhuo, like you, are part-time in the club, he is also a college student, and this is the same as you. Zhuo is at Hanover Music University, piano, a cool major." Chairman Mullen said.
　　 "Wow, is it? A musician who plays football, a very young man." Jurgen Klopp is obviously very interested. "I am currently studying football coaching at the German Sports University in Cologne."
　　Juergen Klopp, born in 1967. He used to be a professional football player. He spent most of his career at the Mainz Football Club. Following the Mainz team, he has been playing in the middle position of the German Football League. He started to play the forward and later changed to play the defender. . At the end of the player's career, Jurgen Klopp began studying sports at the University of Frankfurt. After officially retiring last year, he entered the professional coaching department of the German Sports University in Cologne. After graduation, he can obtain an international A-level coach certificate.
　　Juergen Klopp is a university student similar to correspondence. The most important thing is to have an internship, combining the teaching theory with the actual teaching. Angus Mullen knew Klopp early and gave him the opportunity to coach the club's youth team. Jurgen Klopp has been the head coach of the Fort Maddie Youth Team for a year. Although it is only the youth team of the C-level football team, it is difficult for most trainee coaches to get such an opportunity. At most, it is to get a job as an assistant coach at the youth team of the C-level or lower level or even an amateur team.
　　At this point, Jurgen Klopp is still very grateful to Angus Mullen.
　　Just like this, a piano learner and a mixed coach, two college students chatted very warmly, although the style of painting was very unharmonious, but it did not hinder the enthusiasm between them, all of them were a serious face.
　　Discourse will eventually be pulled back to the topic.
　　 "Zhuo, can you participate in training this afternoon?" After receiving a positive answer, Jurgen Klopp said to Zhuo Yang: "Well, I will take you to meet the other people on the team."
After polite farewell to Chairman Mullen, Zhuoyang and Jurgen Klopp walked towards the youth team.
　　The entire Madipu Club is located on a beautiful peninsula, and a secluded small road connects the various components of the club. Victor Stadium is where the peninsula and land are connected. After walking through the stadium, the office building of the club is next to it. In the three-story baroque-style building, the athletics department, youth department, marketing department, financial personnel logistics and other departments are all in it, compact and complete. Next to the office building, there is a brand new white two-story building, which is home to the gym, shower, massage room and medical department. There is also a small restaurant on the first floor. Going forward, the three standard training grounds are staggered by the water in a ‘U’ shape. Between the three training grounds, neatly trimmed gardens are separated from two or three rows of tall birch trees. Along the river bank, a circle of barbed wire surrounds the peninsula.
"The one on the left is the training ground for our youth team. The two on the right are from the first team." Jurgen Klopp said to Zhuo Yang a little more seriously. "In addition, in the team, you can call it My husband, I can also call my coach Klopp."
　　 "Yes, sir." Zhuo Yang seemed to respect his coach.
　　 Chinese children always respect their teachers very much, even if this teacher looks very unreliable, even if this teacher is actually not worthy of respect.
　　 When the two people walked to the training ground, there were already a lot of people on the training ground, both players and assistant coaches of the youth team. They were preparing for the afternoon training.
　　 "Beep--" Klopp took a whistle out of nowhere, miraculously, and scared Zhuo Yang next to him.
"Before training, let me introduce you. This is your new teammate, Zhuo Yang. You can call him Zhuo. Zhuo is from China." Klopp waved his arm. "Zhuo, you first introduce yourself to everyone. "
　　 Zhuo Yang's eyes rolled, and he said, you said everything, what else can I introduce? I took two steps forward and seriously introduced myself to the group of people in front. "Hello everyone, my name is Zhuo Yang, I am 17 years old and I am from China. I am very happy to meet you and I am very honored to be a teammate with you."
　　 is polite and modest, and official, just a few words to say.
　　 Next, other people also introduced themselves, including assistant coach Edwin Woolf, fitness coach Edward Graham, and goalkeeper coach Gavin Marcus. There is also the captain of the youth team, center defender Per Mertesack, midfielder Nigel De Jong, forward Frank Ribery...
　　With Zhuo Yang's super memory ability, he remembered everyone's name, location, age and other information after one pass.
　　 "Beep--" Klopp's whistle rang again, and Zhuo Yang shuddered again. "OK, the welcome meeting is over, and training begins now. Edwin, continue to follow the training plan. Zhuo, come over."
　　 "Sir!" Zhuo Yang followed Jurgen Klopp to the side of the venue.
　　 "Now tell me, what position are you good at?" Klopp stared at Zhuo Yang.
　　 "Well..., it's okay in the midfield, I don't pick it." Zhuo Yang is honest.
　　 "..." Klopp asked again: "Which foot are you good at?"
　　 "Well..., right foot, in fact, I can use both feet, I don't pick." Zhuo Yang is still very honest.
　　 "..." Klopp scratched his head: "What stage of professional training have you received?"
　　 "Professional training? What is that? Sir, I'm an excellent player on the field, and then shoot... well, that's it!" Zhuo Yang is always honest.
　　 "..." Klopp was completely speechless. "Okay, I know. You go to the training department to pick the number, get the competition and training equipment, and then go to coach Graham, he will do a series of tests for you."
　　 Zhuo Yang chose number 18, because number 18 is the smallest number that can be selected. Youth team players have only numbers on their jerseys and no names.
　　After the physical test, the afternoon training is over. Zhuo Yang’s first day’s player life also ended in a happy mood. Among them, the signing fee of five thousand euros is the source of happiness.
Around 2002, semi-professional players in the German Football League III have almost disappeared, but the youth teams of each team are filled with nearly one-third of semi-professionals, part-time jobs like Zhuo Yang. The players are no surprise. Not only the youth team, most clubs' first team only train for half a day.
　　 Many players have a rich nightlife beyond imagination. They often have to sleep until 11 o'clock the next day to get up, so training in the morning is nonsense.
　　Klopp lives in the club's dormitory, can I save the money to rent an apartment? Klopp looked at the report about Zhuo Yang's physical test in the light of the shining old table lamp.
　　 Zhuo Yang's physical fitness test is very simple, the heart and lung functions are very normal, height 182 cm, weight 72 kg. Some other data are mediocre among football players. After all, Zhuo Yang has not received professional training, nor any professional training in sports.
　　 Even simple test data, Klopp is very careful, from time to time to turn back the previous page and look again, I am afraid that something is missing.
　　At the same time, in the dormitory of Hanover Music University, Zhuo Yang was very excited. He turned on the computer and looked at the message. Nothing changed. Everyone was still like that. Ocean went to a key high school for repetition, and Jiushan and Lao Mu started preparing for a medical examination for conscription. There should be no problem.
Zhuo Yang wants to share the happiness in his heart with whom, but he doesn’t know who to talk to, because even the ocean can’t say for the time being, if it reaches her mother’s ear, UU reads the book www.uukanshu.com Noisy. As a result, he can only leave messages to his father and mother on the computer.
　　 "Dad, Mom, I found a part-time job to teach a group of children." The players of the Fort Maddie youth team strictly speaking, a considerable part are indeed'children' who are under 20 years old. "The income is quite good, so you don’t have to send me money, I can feed myself. Is your son good?"
　　Zhuo Yang is proud and proud, and a fox's tail in the Alps at night is cocked and tall.
　　++
　　 On the afternoon of the next day, Zhuo Yang rode his bike of sentiment, "Dang Dang, Dang Dang," came to the club on time and found a place to put the car.
　　 There are already two people in the dressing room chatting idle. When Zhuo Yang comes in, he greets: "Hi, Zhuo."
Zhuo Yang, who has super memory, accurately called out their names: "Hi, Pell, Hi, Ricardo." Pell Mertesacker is the captain of the youth team, 18 years old this year, and also the youth team's Main defender. Ricardo Montolivo, midfielder, Italian, is seventeen years old this year.
　　The familiar Zhuo Yang and the two of them started to hang together. After a while, the players came in one after another, Zhuo Yang also greeted one by one.
　　 "Hi, Nigel."
　　 "Good afternoon, Billy."
　　 "Hello, Duke."
　　 "Hi, Frank."
　　………………
　　When everyone was surprised to find that Zhuo Yang didn't call anyone wrong, fitness coach Edward Graham pushed the door and walked in.
　　 "Let's go, guys, start training, I hope you have a good mood today."
　　The players sparsely walked towards the training ground, but everyone looked at Zhuo Yang's eyes a little differently.
