Chapter 397

In the 2008 UEFA Champions League final, there was heavy rain pouring over the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. The penalty shootout had come to the final round. The captain of the blue team "Terry" was heading towards the penalty spot.

Facing the Manchester United goalkeeper "Van der Sar", Terry seemed a little nervous. He glanced at the goal and kicked the most important kick of his career, but the moment he touched the ball, the field lawn, which had been watered by rain all day and night, seemed to finally collapse.

Everyone knows the later results. The madness after Manchester United won the championship, the scene of Ronaldo covering his face and crying, and the passion of the Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar when he lifted the "Big Ear Cup".

Time came to 2015, the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and another captain stood in front of the penalty spot in the final round. In fact, the person who dared to stand in that position at this time is a hero. (I remember the penalty shootout in the 2012 UEFA Champions League final. I was so nervous that I didn’t dare to watch it. Every time a Bayern player took a kick, my heart twitched. When Piggy missed the penalty, he covered his face and cried. In fact, I also silently turned off the TV at that time. I know, I have to wait for another year).

Hummels glanced at Sirigu, and the Italian keeper moved left and right on the goal line, trying to interfere with "Hummels" with off-the-ball moves, but the Dortmund captain didn't care, at least on the surface.

Hummels looked sideways at the referee, just waiting for him to blow the whistle!

After the whistle sounded, the audience fell silent, and Hummels started to run. At this time, the whole of Dortmund, and even the entire North Rhine region, was suddenly quiet. Everyone held their breath and waited for this kick.

After the run-up, Hummels volleyed the ball with one foot. The footwork he chose was a vigorous volley without any technical content. The ball was volleyed like a mortar shell. Although the ball was well hit, "Siligu" who jumped to the right ahead of time stretched out his hand and flicked it, but nothing happened.

Following this kick, the Dortmund players kneeling in the middle circle rushed towards Hummels, and then the Dortmund players on the bench also rushed towards Hummels. The captain opened his arms to welcome the coming "crowd".

As the Dortmund players obliterated the captain and the group reveled, their background was the heartbroken Paris Saint-Germain players.

David Luiz cried, the proud Ibrahimovic lowered his haughty head, Blanco looked blank, and their rich boss had already left the stadium under the escort of bodyguards.

The South Stand was boiling, and they shouted the name of "Hummels" in unison. Tonight, Hummels is the hero of Dortmund, no, the hero of the entire North Rhine, and even the entire North Germany.

From then on in German football, Bayern in the south, Dortmund in the north, the twin stars shine!

During the carnival in Dortmund, Klopp, who has always been arrogant, was uncharacteristically. Instead of going to the South Stand, he found Blanco to shake hands, and then went to comfort the crying "David Luiz". It may be that he has experienced a lot. Now Uncle Zha is more mature. In addition to his arrogant side, he also has a lot of tenderness.

*****

When the lights of the "Signal Iduna Park Stadium" came down and the on-site celebration came to an end, the celebration in the locker room just started. The players sang and danced in the locker room. Because the locker room is a very private space, the players seemed more relaxed. Gundogan had already stripped down to only a pair of underpants. He asked for a "Turkish belly dance" for everyone, and Sahin and Weidenfeller snapped their fingers to accompany him.

With the sound of the beat, Jing Duoan twisted the fat on his belly, no matter whether he was professional or not, at least he was very happy.

Now the only one in the locker room who has not been stripped is Klopp. Uncle Zha is the absolute authority of the team at any time, so no one dares to take him down.

"Li Qiao, treat yourself",

"Li Qiao, treat yourself",

"Li Qiao, treat yourself",

Weidenfeller booed, and then everyone shouted.

"Haha, don't worry, I will never renege on my debts",

"Where should I go to eat, I haven't eaten Chinese food yet"?Gundogan said.

"But in advance, if you want to eat, eat the most authentic ones, and don't buy fast food to fool us," Hummels said.

"Yes, the most expensive one," Bender said.

Everyone's original intention was to let Li Qiao spend a good time this time, but what they didn't expect was that Li Qiao's proposal was unexpected.

"Okay, I invite you to go to Guangzhou to eat"!

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at Klopp, meaning "this is only possible if the head coach nods, otherwise everyone will train every day."

Ten pairs of eyes stared at Uncle Zha, and Klopp said: "Everyone is watching what I do, and it's not my treat."

Li Qiao said: "I've done the math. If we charter the whole flight, we will definitely be able to come back before Sunday's league game. In addition to eating, we can also have fun in China."

Everyone looked at Li Qiao, and then collectively looked at Klopp.

In fact, even if Li Qiao doesn't arrange it, Klopp is going to give the players a vacation after the Champions League match. From August last year to now, Dortmund's lineup is already very tired, and it is necessary to relax moderately.

"I only have one request, just be back before Sunday."

Hearing the coach's approval, everyone burst into cheers and shouted in unison: "Long live Jurgen...".

*****

Although it is a full-time charter flight, the schedule is still very tight. After the game ends on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, apart from the time on the plane, there is not much time left for the players to play. Li Qiao’s plan is to go to Guangzhou for the first stop, treat guests to dinner at Zhouji, and then choose one stop for the rest of the itinerary, Shanghai or BJ, and finally fly directly back to Dortmund.

Li Qiao rented a special plane provided by the company "NetJets". The plane was very luxurious, with a bar, a restaurant, and two bathrooms with bathtubs.

Uncle Zha, Hummels, and Li Qiao were drinking at the bar. Li Qiao ordered a martini, Hummels wanted tequila, and Klopp wanted pure whiskey. While pushing the glasses, Li Qiao talked about his plan.

Unexpectedly, "Hummels" and "Klopp" all chose BJ with the same voice. The reason is very simple. Although a super metropolis like Shanghai is prosperous, there are too many places like Germany. As the ancient capital of China, BJ has a unique taste in China. For Germans, everything about BJ is fresh.

"Do you want everyone to vote?" Li Qiao asked.

Hummels smiled, "Joe, believe me, everyone's choice must be the same."

But in order to show respect, Li Qiao voted with a simple show of hands, and the result was that [-]% of the people chose BJ, then the matter was easy to handle, and he flew directly to BJ after dinner in Guangzhou!

*****

Because the whole journey was rented private transportation, the itinerary of Dortmund’s trip to China has not been revealed, but it must be temporary. If you want to go to BJ, the news of Dortmund’s trip to China will still come out sooner or later, but Li Qiao doesn’t need to worry about it when Zhou Ji is having dinner.

Because he is very familiar with Zhou Dun and also friends with Zhou's father, after Li Qiao and Zhou's father made an appointment, Zhou's father closed the business for one day, postponed the customer's order for one day, and vacated the restaurant to entertain the distinguished guests brought by Li Qiao.

With a sound of "Ah", everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Gun Duoan whose throat was so spicy by "Moutai". Li Qiao laughed and said, "Give him a glass of water." Westerners rarely drink baijiu, even whiskey is served with ice. There are not many people who drink pure wine like Klopp, so it is inevitable that baijiu will be too hot for the first time.

Weidenfeller saw "Gündogan" in distress and teased him, "I heard that Turkey is the world's three major gourmet kingdoms (China, France, Turkey), why do you seem to have never seen the world."

"Fuck you, Roman, I was born in Germany. I have eaten sausages and bread since I was a child. I have never eaten gourmet food."

Jing Duoan's words amused everyone, and Zhou's father said very politely: "As long as you sign on the message wall of the restaurant, I will treat you to Guangzhou Zhouji for dinner in the future."

After Li Qiao translated Father Zhou's words, Weidenfeller immediately asked: "Really, where do I sign? I will sign now."

Everyone laughed again.

Zhou’s father found that most people didn’t drink baijiu, so he asked them to switch to red wine, except for one person, that is Klopp. Maybe people with a bold personality like high alcohol.

Dad Zhou asked: "How is it?"

There is no need for Li Qiao to translate this time, because Zhou's father asked in simple English.

"Very good, it would be even better with a slice of lemon," Klopp said.

"Moutai with lemon"?Dad Zhou smiled, "It's really creative", Dad Zhou said.

The first round of dishes were all authentic Cantonese dishes, with a sweet taste, but Zhou Ji wanted to survive in the Guangzhou city of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it was definitely not enough to only cook Cantonese dishes, so Dad Zhou clapped his hands and asked for the signature dishes to be served.

This is a creative dish - "Sichuan-flavored lobster". The lobster is made with Sichuan cooking techniques, and the taste is spicy.

We know that most Westerners don’t know how to eat spicy food, so Dad Zhou was still a little nervous, but in the end this dish was well received. Klopp had a mouthful of lobster and a mouthful of Moutai, which was very refreshing.

"Old Zhou, you must go to Dortmund to open a branch," Klopp said.

"That's right, Dad Zhou Dun, if you open a store in Europe, you will be very popular."

Zhou's father smiled slightly, "I don't need anything now, Zhou Dun doesn't allow me to run around anymore."

"That's true," Li Qiao thought to himself.

"Joe, full marks, full marks," Klopp said to Li Qiao while eating.
