Chapter 548 The Boy Flying Against the Light
Allen is a coal mining town in the southernmost part of Walldorf County in the Münster district of North Rhine-Westphalia.
There is a Weser Stadium in the southeast corner of the town. Similar to other football stadiums in Germany, this stadium is surrounded by three standard-sized football training fields in the southwest and south, and the southwest part is also equipped with a trapezoidal stand.
At this moment, beside the terraced stands, a group of young players burst into warm cheers.
"Bayern! It's actually Bayern!"
"Oh my god, we drew Bayern!"
"Great! God, this is unbelievable, is there any better luck than this?"
The young players were all so excited, and many older adult players next to them also had happy expressions on their faces, and seemed to be quite satisfied with being drawn against Bayern.
Could it be that they have a grudge against Bayern?
…
Among the jubilant crowd, there was a thin and frail blond boy with a handsome face. Compared with his rough-looking teammates, he was really out of place. At this moment, he did not seem to be in a very good mood and was not as excited as the people around him.
Leaving the bustling crowd, the blond boy walked straight towards the office in the distance.
"Hey, Marco, where are you going?" A young man who was obviously stronger than him, had a growing beard, and had a mature temperament that was completely inconsistent with his age, chased out.
"I'll go talk to Wu Ke." The blond boy replied.
"What to talk about?" asked the bearded young man.
"If I'm drawn against Bayern, I must play." The blond boy said confidently.
"Come on, Marco, isn't it just Bayern?"
Before the bearded guy finished speaking, the blond boy interrupted and said, "You always get to play, so it's natural to say that, Kevin."
The bearded young man named Kevin was speechless. Marco was right. He could play, so he said that.
If he was the one who couldn't play, he would definitely be anxious.
After being stunned for a while and watching Marco leave, Kevin reached out and scratched his growing beard and sighed softly.
He never thought about shaving off his beard, even though Braun, the most famous razor in the world, comes from Germany. But growing a beard is a sign of maturity. He always felt that it was because of this beard that he was able to play in the first team so quickly.
They make him look more mature and fiercer! …
Marco knocked on the office door. When someone responded, he pushed the door open and walked in.
The head coach was about the same height as him and was sitting behind his desk looking at the computer. He looked up at the players who came in, smiled, and continued looking at the computer monitor without caring.
Marco still respects the head coach very much, not only because he is the head coach, but also because he is the most successful player in the team. He has played for Bundesliga teams such as Nuremberg, Wolfsburg and Karlsruhe. He has played 168 Bundesliga games in his career, scoring 18 goals and providing 19 assists.
In addition, he has played in thirteen UEFA Cup games, scored one goal and made one assist. One of the assists came in the second leg of the third knockout round of the UEFA Cup. At that time, Wolfsburg lost 2-3 to Atletico Madrid at home in the first leg. After going to the away game, they conceded a goal at the beginning.
"At the crucial moment, our head coach Mr. Wolfgang Wolf replaced me shortly after the half-time break. It took me only six minutes to assist my teammates to score a goal. Then I planned several attacks and almost reversed Atletico Madrid away from home."
Christian Wouck's face is always filled with pride whenever he talks about this glorious period in his career. Atletico Madrid from the 1999 to 2000 season was absolutely extremely strong.
Because of his brilliant career, Christian Wouck has become a celebrity in this coal mining town, and his coaching ability has also been recognized. This season, he has led the team to outstanding results in the Northern Division of Germany's third-level regional league, and there is a good chance that they will be promoted to the German Second Division.
Everyone knows that Allen's achievements are due to the fact that his team has gathered many youth training players from Dortmund, a big city in the southwest, such as Kevin just now and Marco in front of him.
For a giant club like Dortmund, they are indeed unqualified eliminations, but for a small team like Allen, these players are treasures. With a little training, they can become the core players of the team.
…
"Marco, what do you want to talk to me about?" Wu Ke asked with a smile.
Marco walked straight to the desk and looked directly at the head coach. "I think, Mr. Wooke, you should let me play more games, so that I can grow faster and play better."
"Oh?" Wu Ke knew what was going on. This kid had often asked him to play. "I promised you before that I would let you play more games, but I will decide which games and when to play."
After a pause, Wu Ke smiled again and said, "Marco, I know you are anxious now, but you have to know that you are still young..."
"Not young anymore, Mr. Wu Ke, I'm eighteen years old. Last year, Kevin was already a starter at my age."
Only then did Wu Ke move his eyes away from the monitor and focus on the thin boy in front of him.
Every time he saw him, Wu Ke felt that this kid didn't look like someone from this place. He had a delicate appearance and looked clean, but he was thin and had no strength. However, his technique was excellent and his speed was very fast. When he sprinted, he seemed to be taking off. If he could train his body, he would definitely be a good material.
"You know, Marco, Kevin is much stronger than you. If you step on the court, you will fall down if the opponent touches you."
"I've been growing recently and have also been doing strength training. Look at my muscles." The boy bent his right wrist, revealing the muscles on his arm, as if he wanted to tell the head coach that his muscles were still in good shape.
Wu Ke laughed, "Okay, okay, Marco, I get it, I'll arrange it, okay?"
The blond boy was not satisfied this time, but continued to look at the head coach, "Then let me play when we play against Bayern!"
Wu Ke was stunned and thought to himself, wow, it turns out he was waiting for me here!
It turns out that this kid just said a lot because he wanted to play against Bayern.
"This...this needs further study." Wu Ke was a little embarrassed.
"You just promised me." The young man was unreasonable.
"You know, we are at home against Bayern, so we need to gather the best players in the team and have a sniper war against Bayern at home. There will be many fans coming to the scene, and we need to leave a better impression on them. This game is very important."
The young Marco coughed twice when he heard this, which immediately made the head coach Wu Ke a little embarrassed.
Is it important to play against Bayern? It is indeed very important, because many fans who usually don't come to watch the game will come to the scene to follow the stars, and even fans from surrounding areas will come. This is also a very important opportunity for the club to show its strength.
Of course, in a competition like this, no one cares about the results.
"Well, forget it. I'll tell you the truth." Wu Ke felt a headache. This kid was smart and clever, just like his awareness when playing on the court. "Lars told me a long time ago that he would play for any team above the Bundesliga."
Lars Thorberg, the team's current leading scorer.
"Then I won't play as a striker. I can play as an attacking midfielder. You said it yourself. I am just as good as a striker when playing as a attacking midfielder."
Wu Ke's head hurt even more, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. Wasn't that just to trick the boy into playing more positions? Damn it, now he's shooting himself in the foot.
"Oliver wants to go, too."
Oliver Gordon, the team's current main midfielder and assists king.
The boy immediately got angry, "Then I'll play on the wing. You know my speed. I might be able to pass Bayern's Lahm and that Brazilian kid a few times."
"We will definitely focus on defense in this game and never think about going to the wing."
The young man immediately became anxious. This won’t work, and that won’t work. What on earth do you want?
You don't plan to let me play? "Then I'll be a substitute. You guarantee that I'll play as a substitute. You won't really be so cruel as to reject such a humble request, right?"
Wu Ke really wanted to say, I really can't do it, there are too many people who want to play.
But when the words came to his lips, he really couldn't say them.
This is such a frustrating draw! The management was happy because they saw the highest attendance in recent years and could count the ticket money.
The players were also happy because they could face Bayern's stars head-on, and maybe even dribble past one of them and score a goal, or even just commit a foul, so they could brag about it in front of others in the future.
The happiest people are the football fans, who must be chasing after the giants and stars like crazy.
But who has ever thought about the difficulties of being a head coach? Damn, this job is really not for humans! "How is it?" the boy asked.
Wu Ke thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and finally compromised.
Who makes this guy one of the team's best performing rookies this year and a pillar of the team with high hopes for the future?
"Okay, I'll let you be on the bench, but I can't guarantee how much playing time you will have. Anyway, I'll let you play depending on the situation." Wu Ke reminded.
The young man immediately grinned and nodded with a smile. He didn't care how long he played, as long as he was a substitute.
Just as the boy turned around and was about to leave happily, Wu Ke suddenly called him.
"By the way, Marco, aren't you a Dortmund fan? Why do you want to play against Bayern so much?" Wooke was very puzzled.
Allen is close to Dortmund, and there are many players who were eliminated from Dortmund's youth training, so there are many Dortmund fans, and Marco in front of him is one of them.
Could it be that he really intends to represent Dortmund and fight to the death with Bayern on the field?
Young man, you wouldn't do anything so big as that, would you?
Marco just walked to the door, and after listening, he turned around and grinned at the head coach.
"Because I'm a fan of Su Dong!"
That smile was so bright that it seemed to sparkle in the light coming in from outside.
Wu Ke was a little stunned.
This chapter was very difficult to write, and I spent a long time searching for information. I hope you like it.
