Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 64 Thirty Thousand Feet
After more than ten hours of flying, the plane landed at Stuttgart International Airport at [-]:[-] p.m. local time. Mo Fei set foot on German soil for the first time.Walking out of the airport, James had been waiting for a long time.Meili hurried forward and gave Mo Fei a big hug.

"Hi, dear Mo, I've been waiting for you for a long time. If I don't get you again, I'll call Chu and ask if you're on the plane." Mr. Meili still had that casual look. He just made a joke to Mo Fei, and then said in a serious manner, "Welcome to Germany, young man, and good luck to you!"

After this period of hard work, Mo Fei's English level has improved a lot, and he can barely understand the other party's words, and immediately replied with a smile, "Thank you!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mei Li took Mo Fei to the outside of the airport, where a club car was waiting.To Mofei's surprise, the driver turned out to be a Chinese, about 40 years old, with vicissitudes on his face, but his smile made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Hi, Could Fei, hello, I heard that our country has a genius, and now he can come to Germany to play football. It's really good, it's a face to our countrymen!"

The middle-aged man who called himself Liu Yang had been waiting outside the car for a long time. When he saw Meili and a young man coming out of the airport, he knew that this was today's rightful owner.

"Hello, I'm Mofei." Mofei shook hands with the other party suspiciously, and looked at Meili with doubtful eyes.

"This is the translator hired by the club to teach you German. You know, if you want to integrate into the team as soon as possible, it is very important to learn the language here. Although your English is good, but for some reason, you still know German. It's more popular." Meili shrugged, winked at Mofei, and said with humor, "Look, this small village really values ​​you, and specially invited a Chinese person to be your teacher just for you. But what a treat."

Mo Fei nodded. He has no opinion on the arrangement of the club. It is also a good thing to be able to master a foreign language. As for some of the reasons that Meili said, he knows that Germany and Britain were deadly enemies during World War II. Although the war was over long ago, However, the fighting on the football field is still fierce. The British are definitely not welcome in Germany. If you speak English, you may meet extreme Germans who may beat you from behind.Of course, in the UK, the Germans are also treated this way.It is indeed a happy thing to meet a fellow countryman in a foreign country. Could it be that he also chatted with Liu Yang for a few words.

It is impossible to go directly to the Hoffenheim Club today. It is getting late, and Mo Fei is really exhausted after taking the plane for more than ten hours. Mei Li asked Liu Yang to drive to a hotel, rest for a night, and come back tomorrow. Go to team headquarters.

Sitting in the car, Mo Fei was not tired, and looked curiously at the buildings that were constantly receding around him.Liu Yang was a chatterbox, he couldn't hold back his mouth, and he kept introducing the customs and customs of Germany to Mo Fei.

"Hey, Stuttgart was bombed into ruins during World War II. Now Stuttgart is a 'new city' without historical relics. Although these buildings still have a strong German architectural style, they lack charm. A modern industrial Cities. If you want to see the original German architecture, Munich is good. It is a city that combines modernity and classics. It’s great! But the Huo Village you’re going to is also good, where many complete German styles are still preserved. Ancient buildings." I don't know if it's because he has been in Europe for a long time, but Liu Yang has some dislike for heavily polluted metropolises, but he has a good impression of traditional cities.

Mo Fei is also happy to listen to his gossip, for him, everything here is novel.

Liu Yang had a house in Stuttgart, and he left after sending them to the hotel. He told Mo Fei to call him if he had something to do, and gave Mo Fei a business card with his number on it.

Mo Fei waved goodbye to Liu Yang, turned around and prepared to follow Meili to the room.

"Hey, Mo boy, you have to work hard, you have to let us Chinese people feel proud, let those old men see the majesty of our Chinese people, there are some players in our country who can play football!" Liu Yang looked at Mo Fei from a distance. The back roared, and the voice was a little excited.The words were spoken in Chinese, and the passers-by around looked at the Chinese inexplicably, wondering if there was something wrong with his mind.Liu Yang didn't care, he just shook his fist fiercely at Mo Fei.He was indeed a little excited. People from Hoffenheim approached him and asked him to act as a player's interpreter. At first, he was not happy because he had his own job and didn't have much time.But when he heard that the other party was from Huaxia, he agreed without even asking about the salary.The old man in Germany is very xenophobic, and he has suffered a lot of stares over the years, and he can bear it.However, as a football fan, the most unbearable thing for him is that there is no one who can play football in the mighty Chinese country. The wealthy family took a fancy to him, and he was so depressed that he could only walk away silently.And now, compatriots from his own country have also set foot on the stage of the top European leagues, which makes him feel a lot more comfortable.Although it's just a small club, who knows if Mo Fei will be favored by a wealthy team in the future?This is just the beginning!
"En." Mo Fei was a little dazed, wondering why Liu Yang said this.Of course he doesn't know the hardships of his compatriots living in a foreign country, but playing football is his childhood dream and the path he chose, and of course he will firmly go on.He nodded to Liu Yang and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Uncle Liu."

Liu Yang smiled, nodded, got into the car, and drove away.

The next morning, not long after Mo Fei woke up, Liu Yang came to the hotel.The three of them had breakfast together in the hotel restaurant, and then drove to Hoffenheim.The morning sun in Germany has begun to shine down on the earth, the air is very fresh, without any industrial pollution of modern cities, looking at the picturesque retrograde scenery on both sides, Mo Fei feels very comfortable.However, he didn't pay too much attention to the beautiful scenery along the way. His mind had already flown to today's destination. There, Lannick and other club personnel were already waiting for him. As soon as he passed the medical examination, he signed the contract. Name, he will put on the blue jersey and truly become a member of Hoffenheim.

Thinking of this, Mo Fei was slightly nervous, but more excited.After all, the dream is about to come true, and it is inevitable that the mood will not calm down for a while.

Liu Yang's driving skills are very good, the car runs quickly between cities, and two hours later, the car has already driven into Hoffenheim.

Huo Cun gave Mo Fei a really small feeling, but the beautiful pastoral scenery gave Mo Fei a feeling of living in a painting.The group of people who had just entered the village did not go straight to the club, but got out of the car and walked slowly. Could it be that they wanted to appreciate the rural scenery that is hard to see in China? It was still early, and they were not in a hurry to go to the club .The people in Huo Village were very enthusiastic. When they saw the arrival of three strangers, two middle-aged women came forward to have a chat.Huo Village used to be a small village that didn't attract much attention. It didn't see many visitors all year round. The villagers lived a simple life. The greatest joy was going to the stadium every week to support the players who were still playing in the low-level league at the time. Hoffenheim.However, this situation began to change when the team was promoted to the Bundesliga. The team they supported had an excellent record and even won the winter championship of the league. The qualifications were not obtained, but this is also a "miracle" to be proud of.The reputation of the team is revealed, which naturally makes this little-known village famous, and there is an endless stream of fans who come to visit the "Village of Miracles".

These two village girls obviously regarded the three of Mo Fei as tourists who came here to admire the fame. They kept introducing the characteristics of the village and sightseeing spots, which made Mo Fei dumbfounded. Not for tourism.However, after hearing that Murphy was a new player signed by Hoffenheim, the two women immediately showed a look of surprise, kept saying things like "Welcome to Hofenheim", and even volunteered to lead them the way.In their view, the players who can be signed by the club must be excellent. They believe in the vision of the team. The performance of the team last season has given them great trust.Furthermore, since the other party is about to become a member of the team, it is a member of Huo Cun, and they are their own people. Of course, they take good care of their own people.

Could it be that he was greatly moved by the enthusiasm of the villagers, but he still declined the kindness of the other party. After all, Mr. Meili has been here more than once, and Liu Yang has cooperated with Hoffenheim many times, so he is naturally familiar with this place.I chatted with the other party for a while, although it is possible that I can't understand German, but fortunately there is Liu Yang, the translator, so there is no obstacle to communication.The chat was very pleasant. Could it be that he knew a lot about the local customs, but the focus of the discussion was more on the team. After all, the greatest joy of the people in the village was to visit the team’s training every day. They are more familiar than them, maybe they don't know the team's development direction and strategic policy, but they know some anecdotes about the team very well, which makes Mo Fei listen with gusto, after all, knowing a little more is also very helpful for integrating into the team helpful.

After bidding farewell to the two, Mo Fei and his party stopped staying and headed straight for the club.

"If the dog rushes out, please lie on the ground and wait for rescue. If no one comes, then I can only wish you luck!"

Looking at the sign standing at the entrance of the club, could it be that he showed an inexplicable smile.He was very surprised. He had a good impression of this small village and believed that it would be a good journey here.

"It's very interesting, Mo. I was also surprised when I first came here. What a nice place!" James.Merry spread her hands and smiled.And Liu Yang beside him also made a gesture of invitation to Mo Fei with an excited face, "Step here, a new journey is waiting for you. Do it well, Mo Fei, I wish you good luck!"

Mo Fei laughed, nodded, and stepped into the gate of the club.

The full name of Hoffenheim is the Hoffenheim 1899 Gymnastics and Sports Union, which originated from the "Hoffenheim Gymnastics Club" established in 1899 and the "Hoffenheim Football Club" established in 1921. Today's Hoffenheim is the result of the merger of the two clubs.Of course, this sports league includes many sports, such as gymnastics, swimming, track and field, etc., but now football is the main event, and people are most concerned about this world's largest competitive sport.
