Chapter 165 "Thousand-Class Horse"

"Hey... let's go."

Seeing that Li Yuming hadn't reacted yet, Gao Yu tugged Li Yuming's sleeve helplessly.

"what???"

"Go in and report!!!"

"Oh!"

Only then did Li Yuming walk out of the artistic surroundings.

Following Gao Yu's footsteps, Li Yuming was brought to an ancient gate.

Just looking at this door that can be described as dilapidated, Li Yuming would never have thought that this is actually the office of Mr. Watzke, the sports director of Dortmund Club.

Compared with the artistic decoration outside, the entrance of Watzke's office is simply too plain.

This feeling conjures up a word.

Back to Basics!

This made Li Yuming more fond of the sports director who strongly recommended him to transfer to Dortmund.

"Knock knock knock..."

Gao Yu greeted in a low voice in German: "Dear Mr. Watzke, can Mr. Yuming and I go in?"

Contrary to what Li Yuming thought, Watzke's voice did not have the kind of calm and self-importance. On the contrary, Watzke's voice was very gentle and very magnetic.

"Come in quickly."

Since Li Yuming couldn't understand German, Gao Yu translated for Li Yuming: "Mr. Watzke let us go in, let's get ready."

Gao Yu then slowly opened the door.

After the two opened the door, the first thing they saw was Watzke who put down his work.

At this time, Watzke smiled happily, with his arms wide open, making a hug.

"You are finally here! Young man from China, on behalf of Borussia Dortmund, I welcome you to join us."

Watzke!
He actually spoke Chinese!
Although very lame, this is indeed genuine Mandarin.

Before Li Yuming could react, Watzke gave Li Yuming a firm hug.

"Uh...thank you."

The flattered Li Yuming didn't know what to say.

"Haha, did you expect me to speak Chinese?"

After Watzke let go of his arms, he looked at Li Yuming with his deep eyes, and there was still that kind smile at the corner of his mouth.

Li Yuming nodded.

"I like the mysterious oriental culture very much. They are very interesting, so I learned Chinese when I was young."

Watzke is obviously in a particularly good mood at this time, because such a potential stock he chose has finally come.

"Li, I believe you know Bole!"

Li Yuming had learned the story of Bole and Maxima since elementary school, so he naturally knew it, but because of Watzke's powerful aura, Li Yuming felt afraid to speak.

Li Yuming still nodded, which was a response.

"I very much hope to become the Bole of your thousand-mile horse. Don't let me down, hahaha."

Watzke smiled happily. Although his Mandarin is really ordinary, and "Qianlima" is pronounced as "thousand-level horse", no matter what, he can't stop his excitement at this time.

Watzke's hospitality is also obviously very good.

After showing a few more sentences in Chinese, he hurriedly asked Gao Yu and Li Yuming to sit down, and called the secretary to bring two cups of fragrant black tea...

"I like Chinese tea culture very much. I believe that the two friends from China will not reject the aroma of tea, right?"

Li Yuming didn't know what to say. Watzke's enthusiasm was like a burning desert, which couldn't be extinguished.

Seeing Li Yuming's nervous look, Watzke's smile became more gentle.

"Li, don't be nervous, drink some tea and relax."

"Um...thank you."

Li Yuming raised his teacup with trembling hands, using the posture of drinking tea to cover up his embarrassment at this time.

OMG!

This is Watzke!

Such a strong aura, this feeling is a hundred times stronger than when I faced the daytime in the Dalang Gymnasium!
After half a cup of black tea, Watzke started his topic again.

And Li Yuming didn't have time to savor the sweetness of this cup of black tea, so he quickly pricked up his ears to listen to Watzke's speech.

Because what Watzke said next is related to his next arrangement.

"Li, since this season's league is coming to an end, I'm sorry to tell you that we can't register you for this season. For the time being, you can only play with the boys of the second team. Of course, their skills are also very good. "

Li Yuming already expected what Watzke said. After the transfer in June, they have already played the last two or three rounds of the Bundesliga. How can there be a chance for him to play? Oh no, he even registered. The Football Association doesn't even give you Li Yuming's registration.

Seeing that Li Yuming had no objections, Watzke continued.

"Every main position of Dortmund is uncertain, and players need to constantly compete. Perhaps Shinji Kagawa is the most stable Asian in the team, but you can compete, and you can continue to use your excellent state to go Prove yourself like my old partner Klopp. Unfortunately, I can't guarantee you a solid starting position. I can only bring you from China's second-tier league to Dortmund, but can I conquer Signal Iduna Park The stadium, then, depends on yourself."

After finishing speaking, Watzke pointed his index finger at Li Yuming very seriously.

Although Watzke's Mandarin is extremely poor, Li Yuming can still understand [-]% to [-]%. Moreover, Watzke's expression is extremely serious when he said this. It can be seen that Watzke is emphasizing: You, Li Yuming, come here You still have to compete, it’s not that you will be the main force when you come.

"Mr. Watzke, I will train very hard!"

"very good!"

After receiving Li Yuming's firm answer, Watzke withdrew his index finger instantly, and the slightly serious expression on his face became much more relaxed.

"For the time being, your transfer news will not be officially announced by the club, because your contract is for a period of 4 years, and we do not want to cause some off-court influence on the team at the critical time of impacting the Champions League qualification, so, your position Just trying out players for a short period of time, uh...you get the point."

After all, Watzke raised his eyebrows at Li Yuming in a funny way.

However, Watzke's raised eyebrows did not have the slightest hint of hooliganism. On the contrary, Li Yuming's affection for the middle-aged man in front of him doubled.

"Well, Mr. Watzke, I understand."

Li Yuming can still comprehend Watzke's "you understand" - since he has signed a contract with Dortmund in black and white, he must be a member of the Hornets.

And the phrase "only trial players in a short period of time" means: Li Yuming temporarily plays and trains with the reserve team under the guise of trial players.

"Haha, it's no problem if you understand. Come, come, drink tea."

After finishing speaking, Watzke motioned for Li Yuming and Gao Yu to toast together to taste this cup of mellow and strong black tea.

Start with drinking tea and end with drinking tea.

It can be said that Watzke has grasped the essence of China's "wine table culture". Of course, Watzke uses tea instead of wine, which is much healthier than our Chinese businessmen.

In the following time, Watzke and Li Yuming chatted happily.

Of course, as Li Yuming's interpreter, Gao Yu would definitely not overwhelm the guest. He just sat quietly next to Li Yuming, listening to the chat between Watzke and Li Yuming. (Be a quiet fat man, hehe.)
Unknowingly, Watzke and Li Yuming got involved in movies, perhaps because the Berlin Film Festival had just ended.

"Hey Lee, do you know Bruce Lee?"

"Bruce Lee?"

"Ah yes! That's him. He is my favorite movie star. His Chinese Kung Fu is amazing."

After all, Watzke also hilariously imitated Bruce Lee.

"Well... I like it too."

"Since you are also called Li, I will call you Bruce from now on, right?"

"what???"

"Don't like the name Bruce???"

Li Yuming quickly shook his head—Watzke gave him an English name, how could he not like it.

"Then I'll call you Bruce from now on!"

"Uh……"

"Haha, that's the decision."

Seeing that Li Yuming was neither sure nor negative, Watzke simply helped Li Yuming decide on the English name.

Little did Li Yuming know that the name Bruce Lee would be a frightening presence in European football in the future.

(How could Li Yuming know? He can't design plots like Yuanmou!)

In this way, like an excited old urchin, Watzke chatted with Li Yuming happily all afternoon.

Uh...Of course, during this time, Watzke was more talking and Li Yuming was listening.

...Garage of Dortmund office building...

"Yuming, I didn't expect Mr. Watzke to be so enthusiastic about you."

Gao Yu looked at Li Yuming with deep meaning: "Mr. Watzke has never talked with a transferred player for so long. As far as I know, Royce, who has created the longest conversation with Watzke before you I only talked to him for an hour. And now, it's already 1 o'clock in the afternoon."

5pm? ? ?

Li Yuming was taken aback.

Since he didn't have the habit of wearing a watch, Li Yuming didn't know what time it was. He only knew that he had talked with Watzke for a long time, oh no, he had heard a lot from Watzke.

But he didn't expect that it was already 5 o'clock, which meant that he had talked with Watzke for nearly 2 hours.

"Maybe Mr. Watzke likes to speak Chinese."

Li Yuming chuckled, and found an unconvincing reason to evade it.

Gao Yu shrugged his shoulders, with a "who knows" meaning: "Get in the car, I will take you to dinner and then take you back to the apartment."

…………

Lying on the bed in the apartment arranged by Dortmund, Li Yuming was dizzy all the time.

It's not his fault, the 10-hour flight has made him feel restless, and the most important thing is the greasy western food. Li Yuming is really suffering to finish the almost greasy steak.

After finishing Li Yuming's translation, Gao Yu paid for the meal out of his own pocket.

It's very simple, as Li Yuming is a Chinese who came from afar, Gao Yu, a "half German", naturally has to show the friendship of the landlord.

After dinner, Gao Yu and Li Yuming went back to the apartment together.
