Vol 2 Chapter 7: Mesut Ozil

The surprised Wang Ai compelled to remain calm, and while walking under the street light, carefully examined the appearance of the player. Sure enough, it is the iconic, atheistic big eyes, tightly pursed lips and pointed chin.
I said why I always felt inexplicably familiar when I was just playing!
Unexpectedly, even encountered the young man Ozil! This is a treasure! If you don't want to travel around Germany for a month, you can rely on an Ozil, and this treasure hunt will not come to nothing!
"Mesut, where is your family? We'll go to your dad now."
"Need to go to Gelsenkirchen."
"Where is that? Far away?" Leoni said unexpectedly.
Ozil nodded: "20 kilometers."
Leoni looked at Wang Ai. She thought she would stay for one night in Essen?
"Is it impolite to arrive at your house so late?" Wang Ai said.
"No, no, my dad should still be in his billiard room now, my mom is ... well, it won't be back until about ten anyway."
"Okay, let's go to Gelsenkirchen, right. Where can I find a hotel?"
"Some and some!"
The three laughed and waited for the shuttle to Gelsenkirchen.
Ten minutes on the road, after getting off the car, Ozil led the two along the winding path to the Turkish-dwelling settlement. This is an old and shabby community, garbage is often seen on the side of the alleys, and the air is not very smelly.
Ozil, who was leading the way, went slower and slower. Leoni was a little weird and was urging, but listening to Wang Ai said, "Mesut, you may not know. I lived in the countryside of northeast China when I was a kid. Can only live in thatched cottages. "
"Really?" Ozil turned back, unable to conceal his joy: "The door to my apartment was difficult to open, and the basement was full of stench, and I didn't dare to take a bike myself!"
"Do you still have a basement in your home? Do you even have a bicycle?" Wang Ai opened his eyes wide.
"Uh huh! Very beautiful bike, I had a leather football when I was eight years old, and look!" Ozil opened his eyes with a bigger eye and raised his plastic bag in surprise: "Genuine Nike sneakers! "
Wang Ai took over: "It's so beautiful! I used to only use canvas shoes to play football. Chinese-made canvas shoes."
"Well, I was the same before! But it is not a Chinese brand, it is a cheap sneaker for the local real estate."
The more they talked and became more happy, their pace was getting faster and faster, and they went to a billiard room on the street that was still lit.
This is a remodeled first floor of an apartment building. It has a small pool room with eight pool tables, two tables with guests, and a thin middle-aged man with a thick upper lip beard. It looks like the boss, also Musta. Mr. Ozil.
Seeing the second son return with two strangers, Mr. Mustafa stood up enthusiastically. Whether it was a Chinese ethnic minority or a beautiful and elegant Germanic woman, Mr. Mustafa was very happy. Especially when I heard that the other party is the main force and leader of the fourth league, specifically for his son.
"My son scored 7 goals by himself in the first game of joining the Red and White Essen, the black and white Essen derby! Did you know that in the first game, we played against our rivals? Here, the team only scored eight, and my son scored seven. What did you guess? In the second game, Mesut actually played a substitute! Played a substitute! "In the pub on the street Mr. Mustafa muttered indignantly.
Leoni and Wang Ai accidentally looked at each other, why?
"Why? Huh! It's not because someone is richer than us! A family gave Red and White Essen a lot of money and pushed my son down! Also, Schalke 04 is not a good thing! My son Such a genius, I actually took the test four times! You know, I took the test four times! Every time my son performed the best, and every time anyone can enter, my son will lose the election! "Mustafa The gentleman took a big mouthful of beer.
Leoni raised his glass and met Mustafa. This was originally unacceptable in traditional Turkish families, but in Germany for so many years, he has also become accustomed to the German way of doing things.
"For Mesut!" Leoni proposed, and Mr. Mustafa resolutely took another drink!
Wang Aiyi sat on the side without saying Ozil. The two teenagers shrugged in unison, neither of them loved to drink. They were unable to stop the gimmicks of the German chick and the middle-aged Turkish. A way to communicate feelings. Sure enough, three cups make it easier to communicate. It may be that Mr. Mustafa was much relieved after he vomited.
"You guys ... uh ... what football team can guarantee my son's playing time?"
Wang Ai shook his head slightly, but the following words made Mr. Mustafa worry about: "Mesut is still young, I don't want to use him as a real adult player, so he can be easily injured and affect his future football career. ... in fact, it's me, but also a rotation player. "
"Are you Japanese? Korean?" Mr. Mustafa asked Wang Ai's nationality suddenly.
"Chinese" Wang Ai said: "The people of Northeast China have the same dimensions as Germany. However, in the conservative southern Germany, there are also some ethnic problems. Fortunately, Tubingen is a university town, a quarter of the city. The population is a foreign college student, so it is friendly to ethnic minorities. By the way, there is a Turkish restaurant near my house. "
Mustafa nodded, silent for a moment, and said a little restrainedly to the leader Leoni: "My son goes, oh, I said in case my son went to Tubingen, what is the salary?"
"Our team's substitute player salary is 600 euros, and each game will be rewarded with 50 euros, and another 50 euros will be won." Leoni said: "Mr. Mustafa, you should understand that we A young player from Essen discovered Mesut and came to Gelsenkirchen so late, not to joke with you. "
Mustafa nodded again and again: "I understand, I understand."
Leoni shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid you don't know one thing. Don't think that only your son is a genius. Do you know what kind of player the owner's relatives of this new team are opposite to you? When the main position of the Premier League is working hard, the Chinese player opposite you has been selected for the national team! At the Asian Junior Football Championship in the first half of this year, the Chinese team he led was the champion, he is the best scorer, the best player, Asia The President of the Football Association personally awarded him the award. In other words, of the hundreds of millions of young people in Asia of the same age group, the Chinese opposite you is the most powerful! Did you know that the Stegart football team? The Bundesliga strong team, He has been invited to the Stuttgart Youth Team for three consecutive trainings this year. You should know what this means? As long as two years later, he can play in the Bundesliga. But he likes Tubingen and wants to lead Tubingen. Upgraded, so rejected them. "
The confused, Mr. Mustafa, who was bombarded by Leoni's artillery, took a deep breath: "So, so to speak, my son can be your teammate with you?"
Wang Ai nodded with a smile: "I like Mesut. The two of us have just played at the training ground for a while. We are very happy. Our team does not have a youth team setting, so the teammates are much older than me. Mesut is willing to go It should be the smallest. Everyone will take care of him very much. I suddenly regret it now and don't want to give up this wonderful position. "
Leoni showed a smile, and instantly disappeared the aggressiveness just now: "So, Mr. Mustafa, would you like Mesut to join the Tubingen youth?"
Mustafa nodded again and again with a smile, but hesitated when he spoke, "I, I want to go to Tubingen to see, is it okay? After all, it is far away, right?"
Wang Ai stood up and shook hands with Mustafa: "Of course, but welcome Mesut!"
