The next night, Zhou Tiancheng and U19 teammates and the coaching staff came to the Schalke Stadium, but tonight's protagonist is not them, but those first-team stars.
Today, like all the fans who flock to it, they came to contribute to the Schalke 04 Bundesliga finals this season and the championship battle.
Today, Zhou Tiancheng only saw the fanaticism and horror of the Schalke fans. Compared with the frosty scene of the youth team's game yesterday, they are completely two concepts. It is not too late for them to enter the field an hour before the game, but the atmosphere in the field is already quite hot. Every fan who enters the field, from the children of a few years old to the elderly of the sixties or seventies, have obvious The logo of the Schalke team logo, and all fans who form a team with more than three people to watch the ball, holding a Schalke team flag is standard.
And what makes Zhou Tiancheng a little uncomfortable is that the seats on the scene seem to be a decoration for these fans. They are afraid that their voices will be overwhelmed and the players on the field can’t feel their presence, so they all stand up again. Sing and dance, energy is extremely strong.
In this situation, Zhou Tiancheng could not sit down anymore-according to the uniform requirements of the team, they all wore Schalke 04 jerseys. If Zhou Tiancheng's move was not in line with the mainstream on the spot, it would be sneered by the fans around him. Relatively, it will be easily labeled as "disloyal", which has become a reference.
And from the second the referee blew the opening whistle, the fans began to sing the Schalke team song "Blue and White I Love You". Although Zhou Tiancheng was completely unskilled, he still followed the audience's singing Humming.
He also gained something in this game. He followed the fans around and repeated the lyrics and practiced pronunciation. Until the end of this game, he would already sing the team song "Blue and White I Love You".
With the support of the fans, Schalke 04 lived up to expectations, 2:1 repelled the twelfth place in the standings, and had no desire for Bielefeld.
But from another piece of news came the heartbreaking news for all Schalke fans: Stuttgart, who ranked at the top of the rankings, beat Cottbus 2:1 at home, 21 wins, 7 draws, 6 losses and 70 points, winning the 2006 with two points. -07 season Bundesliga champion. Schalke 04 unfortunately missed another league title in the team's 49 years.
Prior to the official dissolution of the U19 echelon, Coach Elgett told everyone: "This month's holiday, proper relaxation can be done, but don't play too crazy, I hope that more of you will enter the first team next season, for the club again. Do your best to beat the league champion."
In just one day, the original lively training camp was deserted. Only Zhou Tiancheng who had left the initiative and Jiang Hao who had been left alone to continue the last trial training left and entered the base every day.
There are no days for training, Zhou Tiancheng suddenly has a lot of time, but he is not idle. Taking advantage of this month's holiday, he must get the house rented as soon as possible. He wants to establish a long-term position here, which is a very important condition.
Although Zhou Tiancheng is familiar with the German way of life, he has absolutely no experience in renting a house, and finally found the renting information posted by some landlords online, but when he took the initiative to contact the landlord, he was almost without exception. Tactfully refused. Zhou Tiancheng completely wondered why.
After just a few days of delay, Zhou Tiancheng simply put his rent-seeking information on the website, and when the landlord took the initiative to contact himself, he did not believe that such a city in Gelsenkirchen can only count as the county population. City, how tight the listings can be.
Zhou Tiancheng did not expect this method to work very well. Within a day, five landlords actively contacted him, indicating a strong willingness to rent. Obviously, these landlords saw Zhou Tiancheng fill in the "Schalke U19 echelon player" in the work column. Immediately realized that Zhou Tiancheng had a stable income, and that he might become famous in the future, naturally he would become Popular goods.
But after Zhou Tiancheng saw it, he directly denied four of them. There are two reasons that the house itself has been empty for a long time and it is very chaotic. Zhou Tiancheng usually has a high training intensity. Not to mention that he has no time to clean up. He must go home every day to face this poor environment, and his mood must be good. .
In addition, although Zhou Tiancheng has a private car, he doesn’t want to take too long to travel between the rental house and the training camp every day, so he directly vetoed the third rental house that is 20 kilometers away from the training camp, even though the landlord sounds very Good talk.
As for not being the fourth one, the turning point was totally an accident.
Zhou Tiancheng and the landlord had a very good agreement on the price. When the landlord saw Zhou Tiancheng's career, he immediately said that he was a 20-year-old Schalke fan. He was completely willing to provide convenience to Schalke's young people. In terms of rent, he quoted a very low price, and said that he can still meet and talk, he can even make some concessions, right when he contributes to the club.
Zhou Tiancheng's rental house is located two kilometers away from the training base, and the type of house is two rooms and one hall, which just meets his most ideal needs. He hurried over to see the house immediately. Since both parties had such a pleasant conversation, they should only have to go through the written legal procedures, and they have a long-term foothold here.
The landlord was unshaven glasses uncle in his early forties. He had been waiting here for a long time. Obviously, when he thought of his future tenant as a young talent of Schalke Echelon~EbookFREE.me~ he was very excited.
But when he saw Zhou Tiancheng's first glance, his eyes were obviously surprised, and his brows were slightly frowned.
After shaking hands and saying hello, he took the lead and asked, "Chinese?"
Zhou Tiancheng nodded and agreed, thinking that the uncle was quite curious, he continued to walk toward the house. But as soon as he took a step, the landlord uncle stopped him with one hand, and then said politely and firmly: "I'm sorry, this house, I don't plan to rent it to you!"
Zhou Tiancheng walked in a pause, froze for a few seconds in the same place, and asked in a puzzled way: "What? We were not very happy to discuss on the phone?"
"That's because I haven't seen you." The landlord's uncle replied, "But after seeing you, I think you are my tenant. As the landlord, I'm too risky."
Hearing this sentence, Zhou Tiancheng couldn't help but be angry. He looked directly at the landlord and forced to ask: "What do you mean? Are you afraid that I will default on your rent? Do you want me to remind you again, I play football at Schalke U19 , Won't the income afford you the rent?!"
The landlord spread his hands and said straightforwardly: "If you have been playing in Schalke U19, this is naturally no problem. But who can guarantee that you can stay forever? This is Schalke, I have been doing it for 20 years. Fans of Silke have never seen a Chinese get mixed up in Schalke, let alone want to get into the first team from the Schalke echelon. If one day you are kicked out of Schalke, you can still afford Starting rent?"
"You!" Zhou Tiancheng heard this, and suddenly the flames jumped over his head, but he soon realized that he couldn't find any reason to refute the other than to do it, but wanted to prove that he could do it, and no one believed it now. .
Although the other party's tagging knowledge is extreme, it brings Zhou Tiancheng a sense of powerlessness that penetrates deeply into the soul.
