Chapter 117: Troubles of Old Kugel

The next afternoon, Wang Ai, accompanied by Leoni, arrived at the western suburb of Tubingen. It is next to a large piece of farmland and the sports center of Tubingen. There are two courts inside, one is the playing field, the other is the training field, and there are sports halls and tennis courts. The edge of the playing field is a plastic track, and there are about 3,000 wooden viewing seats on the periphery of the plastic track.
This is the training center for the Tubingen team.
The Tubingen team, which has just been promoted to the Interstate League this year, is a team of six German local players and eighteen foreign students from the University of Tubingen. Relying on Tubingen's continuous and abundant human resources, the Tubingen football team has been lingering in the top leagues and interstate leagues of the community league for many years, and has also scored in the top 16 of the German Cup decades ago.
As a pure amateur team, the salary of the players is not, only the game bonus. Relying on a small amount of ticket money for weekly games, it is about 20 euros per game for the main players and 10 euros for the substitute players. In short, the team owner has the final say.
The Tubingen football team was once under the jurisdiction of the Tubingen city government. It was sold to a bar owner in Tubingen three years ago. This boss is a Czech-born German. The purchase of the football team is said to be the result of a failed bet. However, this boss named Kugel really loves the football team, and every year he lobbied vigorously in Tubingen freshman to recruit players. Although there are not many bonuses, some students who like to play football and have good skills usually play games. It is better to have a little money.
Last year, the old Kugel also invited from the second team of the Stuttgart football team, a fringe player without a kick, called Favor, is 36 years old. Don't look at Feffer is just a marginal player in the German third league, the highest achievement in his life is nothing more than two years in the German Bundesliga, but on the pure amateur Tubingen team, immediately became the pillar, as captain Led Tubingen to upgrade successfully. Of course, the captain can't get much salary, so Feiffel's main business is the saxophone player in the Kugel bar.
When Wang Ai came to the stand next to the stadium, the Tubingen team was training. On the court, there was a sweeping view. A blonde Feiffel whistled and directed at the side of the field. More than 20 young players with different skin colors played fiercely on the court and laughed constantly.
There were more than a dozen spectators at the stadium, drinking and snacking while chatting with friends. It seems that this is just a place for them to gather.
Wang Ai watched their training game seriously while chatting with Leoni.
Ever since I heard that Wang Ai, a young Chinese master, is still an Asian champion, Leoni has taken a lot of attention to the topic of football. If Leonie also has enough psychological advantages in Wang Ai in philosophy and life, then in football, Leonie's role has changed very well: Secretary!
Because Germany is a big football country, the entire nation has a strong value recognition for people with superb football skills. In other words, in China, you play well in football, and people can cheer for you, but it is not considered to be an amazing skill, something that can be recognized everywhere. But it's different in Germany. The league system of thirteen and four levels, a large number of civilians participating in the game, the players of the first three levels of the team really have the star effect. Even the main players in low-level leagues often have many loyal supporters. The more people involved, the broader the foundation, the more elites, and the more sincere recognition of the star.
For example, players who have played the ball and who have n’t played the ball have often recognized the star ’s skills differently. The more you practice, the more amateur players and fans who try to challenge your personal limits. The more intuitive and deeper you are about the value of a star, the more you know how great the skills of professional players who look ordinary.
"That black player is called Allison, a student from Tanzania, and the team's top scorer last year." Leoni looked at the data and pointed out a man to explain to Wang Ai.
"The white man with a bearded face is called Boateng. He has the same name as Boateng of the national team and is an Australian student. He is an intercepting midfielder. He should be a junior this year and work hard with the team for two years."
Wang Ai looked at it for 20 minutes, and his heart was probably at the bottom. The level of the Tubingen football team is probably equivalent to the domestic second-class team, but the footwork is generally rough, which means that Allison is more delicate. The organization and coordination are okay, but it is relatively rigid and rigid, and the formation of 442 is lacking in change. In terms of personal skills, most players are semi-professional even in China. The team of Gao Hongbo and his friend who retired for two years is slightly better than this Tubingen.
"Well, the game is over, let's go down and say hello to them, I guess I have to try it out?" Wang Ai joked.
Unexpectedly Leonie nodded seriously: "Yes, it must be trial training, even if this process is followed. The German Football Association has regulations."
Wang Ai shrugged, the Germans were so meticulous.
"Fever!" Leoni said: "This is Wang Ai, a graduate student from China. This year's Asian Junior Football Championship, best scorer, best player."
"Hello, Leoni, hello, Wang!" Fei Fuer shook hands with the two of them separately.
Having said that, Feffer greeted the team members: "Come, teammates, let us welcome the freshmen from China!"
The teammates came in pairs, shaking hands with Wang Ai friendly.
The trial requires the approval of the boss, so Feiffel led the two while talking and walking outwards: "The boss's mood has not been very good recently. Although your results are great, the trial may not be smooth."
"What happened to old Kugel?" Leoni asked casually.
Feffer laughed bitterly, shaking his head without explaining.
At the meeting, the three arrived at Kugel's bar. No one was there during the day. The three went directly to the backstage. A gray-haired fat man was frowning and drinking.
"Hi! Uncle Kugel!" Leoni greeted him.
Old Kugel turned back in horror, stood up and hugged a bear: "Oh, look who's here! My little lion, how are you?"
"Very good, I heard you're in trouble? What's wrong? Aunt Meryl won't let you go to bed?" Leoni was sitting on the high chair, laughing and joking.
The old Kugel smiled at Wang Ai with a friendly smile and sighed: "Three years ago, I wouldn't have bought a team if you were not a little lion and I bet. I won the third level in three years, and I would do my best I tried my best, but now I can't sustain it. "
Leoni nodded solemnly: "Is it because the team has been upgraded that the players are getting paid?"
