There is a belief called football

Chapter 295 Going to Germany

A large group of German fans reveled on Copacabana Beach, where the German tradition is to celebrate by throwing beer at each other after a win.

The people around also applauded for them. The Germans deserved the World Cup championship. It was their explosion after more than ten years of hard work. After the 98 World Cup, the German team fell into a predicament, so proud that Germans never called up immigrant players to carry out a thorough reform of German football.

The main defensive line of the current German team is the immigrant player "Boaten", the core of the midfield is the Turkish immigrant "Ozil", and the former hero of the forward line is the Polish immigrant "Klose". Firm belief and a tolerant heart are the basis for the resurgence of German football.

Think about the success of the Chinese team in this World Cup, isn't it the same?The excellent products of the domestic youth training and the treasures recalled by Stan overseas, together they have created the golden generation of the Chinese team.

Wei Xiao, Zhou Dun, Chen Fei, Li Qiao, Qi Bing and others, this is their first World Cup, and their stories have just begun.

*****
It was not until two o'clock in the morning local time, when the crowd dispersed on the beach, that the players of the Chinese team walked back to the hotel. The players did not feel sleepy, perhaps because their inner passion had not been fully released. Qi Bing suggested that everyone find a bar to play until dawn, but everyone smiled and rejected Xiaohou's proposal.

Stan and Li Qiao walked together, and both of them had a tacit understanding, knowing that it was time to talk about that matter.

"Have you figured it out?" Stan asked.

Li Qiao replied with a firm tone.

Stan, who knew everything about Li Qiao, could tell from his tone that Li Qiao had really made up his mind this time.

"Which one"?
"I want to go to Germany",
Stan smiled, then picked up his pace to keep up with the team in front of him.

"Don't you ask why?"Li Qiao said.

Stan half turned and said, "No need, I trust your judgment."

"One more thing..." Li Qiao said.

"Don't worry, I'll be there when it's signed," Stein said.

"You are really a roundworm in my stomach, how do you know what I think"?
Stan chuckled: "Let's have a tacit understanding."

Li Qiao made an archery gesture to Stan, which meant "fuck you".

Stan laughed even more, and said: "I'm old, I can't do it anymore, I have to go back to the hotel to sleep."

"1500 million euros, China's Li Qiao transfers to Dortmund".

The next day, the press release first reported by the German "Bild" was quickly reprinted by major Chinese media, so that the original news of "the triumphant return of the Chinese team players" was quickly drowned out.

Most Chinese fans expressed their understanding, except for Guangzhou fans. After the news came out, Guangzhou Tianbao fans left messages on Li Qiao's Weibo, hoping that he would not leave. Some radical fans have already started calling Li Qiao a "traitor".

"When no one wanted you, Guangzhou Tianbao took you in. Now that you are popular in the World Cup, you kicked Guangzhou Tianbao away. Can you be like this?"
Words like this kept ringing in my ears, and for a while the news was buzzing.

The Guangzhou Tianbao official has remained silent, neither supporting nor opposing. There are three parties involved in this matter-Guangzhou Tianbao, Li Qiao, and Dortmund.

It is impossible for everyone to fly to Germany to ask Dortmund, and Guangzhou Tianbao is silent again, so everyone can only "block" Li Qiao at the airport when the national team returns.

The scheduled return date for all the players of the Chinese team was the day after the news came out. The Guangzhou Tianbao Fans Association organized hundreds of people to come to BJ the day before to ask Li Qiao for an explanation.

*****
On the plane, the players were tired after a long flight. Everyone closed their eyes and rested their minds, saying that they all knew that there would be no peace after they landed at the Capital Airport.

After discussing with Stan, the national team leader suggested that it would be better for Li Qiao to leave the airport quietly through a special channel. Stan thought about it and found it reasonable. The domestic fans’ “firepower” is also very fierce. The player just returned home, so he didn’t want to “encounter” the fans at the airport.

But when the team leader proposed this suggestion to Li Qiao, Li Qiao immediately refused, "I won't shrink back, they will scold them if they want to."

The team leader wanted to persuade him, but Li Qiao's attitude was very firm. At this time, Stan came over and patted the team leader. "No one can change what Joe decides. Let him face it himself. I think other players can leave through the special channel first."

In the end, the situation was reversed, the others left the airport by car through the special passage, only Li Qiao and Stan came out to face everyone.

*****
When the plane landed on the runway, Qi Bing shouted excitedly: "Motherland, I'm back."

Others were also very excited. They would not have such a feeling if they had never been abroad. It was like returning to their mother's arms after a long journey.

Watching the team members board the bus with black windows and prepare to leave the airport, Li Qiao waved to them, "Keep in touch".

"Li Qiao, go to see me in Holland," Qi Bing said.

"Okay, but you have to work hard, or you will be returned to the reserve team, and I can't find you",
Everyone laughed, and Qi Bing said unconvinced: "Just don't get returned."

After saying goodbye to his teammates, Li Qiao took a deep breath, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, "Let's go, Stan".

When Li Qiao appeared in the airport hall, the scene was chaotic, everyone wanted to squeeze forward, and everyone wanted to get first-hand news first.

"Li Qiao, are you really going to Dortmund, we want to hear your confirmation",
"Yes, I have decided to join the Bundesliga after the summer",
For so many days, everyone wanted to hear what the person involved had to say, but when Li Qiao, one of the parties involved, said it himself, the atmosphere suddenly changed. At this moment, everyone realized that not only the fans of Guangzhou Tianbao, but the fans all over China are a bit reluctant to part with Li Qiao. What is there to watch in the Chinese Super League without Li Qiao?
From then on, everyone will no longer be able to see Li Qiao's "changhong penetrating the sun" deciduous ball in the sky of the Super League, and can't see that handsome young man galloping on the field. In China, there are few high-quality football idols, and now the only one is leaving again.

"I know this decision is too sudden, if you want to criticize, just scold," Li Qiao said.

Many fans who were originally filled with righteous indignation secretly put away the radical slogans on their hands after seeing Li Qiao. At this moment, they realized that their feelings for Li Qiao were not hatred, but love too much, not blame, but reluctance.

Suddenly someone cried at the scene, "We are not willing to let you go, but since you have decided, then... I hope you will go better."

Li Qiao also choked up, expressing his gratitude to the fans.

"Thank you everyone. I will never forget the three years of relationship. We won the league championship, the AFC Champions League, and reached the final of the Club World Cup. Believe me, I have never forgotten that scene and I will never forget it."

These words almost made Stan cry. It can be seen that many people at the scene were red-eyed.No one asked any more questions, and thousands of words were silent.

"Mom, let's go, I will pick you up after I settle down in Germany," Li Qiao said.

Li's mother looked at Li Qiao, Li Shan, and Stan, and suddenly thought of "Lobarov" who took Li Qiao away. Li's mother thought: "Why do people always want to take Li Qiao away? I blame Li Shan for letting Li Qiao choose football, but what can I say now?"
"Go," Li's mother said only one sentence.

The three of them stopped talking and turned around to get on the bus to Shanghai. They will arrive in Germany before August 8st.

On July 7th, the three people got off the plane in the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The Dortmund staff were already waiting at the airport. The group drove to Dortmund. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Li Shan seemed a little excited. He usually saw the European style on TV, and now it was within reach.

Dortmund staff first took the three of them to visit Dortmund's home stadium "Signal Iduna Park", which is a holy place in the hearts of many "Dortmund" fans, especially the terrifying South Stand.

When the three of them were in the huge stadium, they were inexplicably excited, especially Li Qiao, who seemed to be able to hear the fans shouting.

One year ago, Real Madrid lost 1 to 1 to the Hornet "Dortmund" in this field. After the game, Real Madrid's well-informed superstars also talked about the horror of this stadium.

"Dreams have come true," Li Shan said silently.

"What?" Stan asked.

Only then did Li Shan realize that he had accidentally said what was in his heart, "When "Lobarov" wanted to take Li Qiao away, he described his dream to me, and today it has come true," Li Shan said.

But Stan is not so optimistic. He knows that European giants are difficult to enter, but it is even more difficult to gain a foothold after entering. European fans, especially the fans of wealthy clubs, do not have any patience. They will not be as empathetic as Chinese fans.

So in the face of Li Shan's emotions, Stan just smiled slightly.

After a 30-minute visit, the three left the stadium, and the staff took them to the hotel that the club had booked for them. There is no player dormitory for the first team of European clubs. Players come to the club for training during the day to work. After work, they go back to their homes. This is different from many domestic clubs that also provide player dormitories.

So Li Qiao and his group will stay in a hotel for the time being. After signing the contract, they will start looking for their own house. In short, facing this brand new city, everything needs to start from scratch, including language.Li Qiao made up his mind to learn to use German for daily communication within half a year.

Stan, Li Qiao, and Li Shan had a German dinner in the hotel restaurant. The three of them were very excited. Li Shan drank a little more wine and looked a little drunk. He talked about his dream of joining a European giant when he was young. Stan laughed and said a lot about his dreams back then.

Li Qiao smiled and listened to them talking, "I didn't expect the two of them to have so many ridiculous times."
