Football: What is a mad dog full-back?

As a meritorious player of the team, Weidenfeller is already full of honors.

World Cup champion, German Cup champion, Bundesliga champion × 2...

Behind every championship trophy, there is the figure of this meritorious veteran.

Andy won the respect of Weidenfeller with his own respect.

However, there are other reasons why the latter can stay and practice with Andy.

That is, since Tuchel came, he signed two excellent goalkeepers for rotation...

Weidenfeller is no longer the first choice of the team, so he has to improve his condition.

In short, Andy's diligent attitude finally won Tuchel's recognition.

In the training on the second day, he paid special attention to Andy's data.

The result surprised him!

Speed! Speed! Or damn speed!

Andy's speed is actually comparable to Aubameyang!

And the data in terms of physical fitness is also very impressive!

This is perfect for players in the full-back position!

Although his height is a disadvantage in the matchup,...

Andy's lower body is unusually stable!

Here is a small episode...

After Andy changed into training clothes, his sports shorts seemed a little tight.

After repeated checks by the logistics staff, they found...

Andy's thigh circumference is amazing!

It reached 61cm (24 inches)!

This is not fat, but solid muscle!

When everyone heard the news, they all showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

No wonder he heard that he injured two players with two shots in a game before...

Even an elephant can't stand a shot at close range!

(Carlos: It's a piece of cake~)

On September 27, Andy watched the 7th round of the Bundesliga at the Westfalen Stadium.

The opponent is Darmstadt 98 Club...

In theory, there is no pressure for Dortmund to win the game.

But that was not the case...

The visiting team scored a goal 15 minutes into the game.

The game lasted until the 63rd minute of the second half, when Aubameyang equalized the score.

Then he scored twice in ten minutes!

However, in the 90th minute, the visiting team equalized the score with a set-piece miracle!

The player who caused all this was Park Joo-ho!

After he took the lead in the second half, he replaced Shinji Kagawa.

Originally, they could have won all three points by keeping stable, but they didn't expect to collapse at the last moment.

Not only did they give the opponent a free kick, but they also missed a player when defending...

Tuchel was so angry that he closed his eyes and sat in the coaching seat and no longer paid attention to the situation on the field!

Dortmund's morale was greatly damaged!

At the same time, Andy met the player he wanted to see most in the stands.

Reus!

Reus, dressed in casual clothes, did not notice Andy.

After the team was equalized, his expression was complicated.

"Password! How could you miss someone! Password!"

Hearing such vulgar curses coming from nearby, Reus turned his head to look.

Andy stood there, blending in with the emotions of the fans...

What a rude boy!

This was Reus' first impression of Andy.

The next day, the whole team came to the base to prepare for the Europa League match two days later.

The opponent was the Greek powerhouse Thessaloniki!

Surprisingly, Reus also appeared at the training ground.

After confirming with the team doctor, he began rehabilitation training.

Andy walked up and greeted him.

"Hello, deputy captain, I'm Andy."

There were no redundant words, but respect was revealed in the words.

Reus nodded, "Keep it up, Andy!"

This was the first conversation between the two...

Maybe Reus himself didn't expect what kind of bond he would trigger with this boy in the future!

Tuchel announced the list of players accompanying the team, and Andy's name was on the list!

However, he was not in the lineup, but was part of the entourage.

After a few days of training, Tuchel finally agreed to promote Andy to the first team!

But the registration procedures and contract signing are a bit cumbersome, and it will take about a week to get it done...

So he decided to let Andy go to Greece with the team to watch the game.

At the same time, the situation of the second team was quite bad.

Without Andy, the left side was like a mess!

Head coach Hans wanted to cry but had no tears...

The continuous losses made him receive a warning from the club!

If there is still no improvement by mid-October, then Hans' position as the interim head coach will end.

He even went to his brother's house as the CEO to complain!

As a result, he was sent away by Watzke, "Listen to my advice, you can't grasp it"...

On October 1, Andy came to Thessaloniki, the largest port city in northern Greece, with the team.

This is Greece's second largest economic, cultural and commercial center, and it is also connected toThe main transportation hub in Eastern and Southern Europe.

It also has a typical Mediterranean climate, with warm winters and hot summers...

Andy heard about this place from his Greek teammates when he lived in Lisbon.

What about Byzantine architecture, Ottoman Empire, Jewish architecture, etc....

He collectively calls these exotic customs.

Because they arrived a day in advance, everyone was given two hours of free time after checking into the hotel.

However, the players basically did not choose to go out to avoid some problems that would affect the game the next day.

As an entourage, Andy decided to go out and experience it.

Along the way, some locals took the initiative to greet him.

Near the sculpture in the city center square, Andy saw tour groups from all over the world.

Even saw "Greek yogurt" on the street...

Just when Andy finished punching in and was about to go back to the hotel, the child in the seat next to him squinted at him.

? ? ?

Judging from his clothes, this child is definitely not a local.

But no matter where he is from, pressing his eyes with both hands is definitely a racial discrimination gesture!

Andy took a photo with his mobile phone at the speed of light, and then said to the woman not far from the child:

"Excuse me, ma'am, is this your child?"

"Of course."

"Don't you think his behavior is a bit inappropriate?"

As a person who has lived in Europe for many years, Andy did not say anything too much.

Because there are many laws to protect women and children here, sometimes impulse will lead to passiveness...

The woman glanced at the child and said impatiently:

"I think you misunderstood. In our Israel, this is a gesture of expressing friendship, that's all."

Expressing friendship?

Are you fooling around here with a password? !

Andy's face turned cold instantly...

Israeli?

Ok!

Not only your country has friendly gestures, we have them too!

The little boy saw that his mother did not criticize him, and he pressed his eyes harder!

Suddenly!

Andy's eyes became sharp, and he quickly stretched out his right arm to salute!

Then he made a "Berlin sound" with a movement that the two could hear!

"Oh! Allah!"

The little boy was frightened and cried on the spot...

The woman was furious and shouted for help to the people around her!

Andy quickly put down his arm and turned on his phone to show the racist photo of the little boy to the people around him...

In European law, the most important point of committing a racist crime is that it must be in a public place!

When the woman saw the photo, she immediately calmed down, picked up the crying child and walked away quickly.

The crowd of onlookers quickly dispersed, and Andy looked at his right hand...

How could such a small action hurt them so much?
