Chapter 7 The Returned Child
At the end of the summer transfer window, Hoffenheim's final transfer news was confirmed.
They will bring in 37-year-old forward Aden Morsi from Borussia Dortmund.
The player who left Hoffenheim for 7 years finally returned to Hoffenheim.
Hoffenheim fans are very happy about this news.
Especially those old fans.
They have witnessed the brilliance of Morsi, and they have a stronger emotion for Morsi than new fans.
The new fans are also led by the old fans, preparing for a grand welcome ceremony.
However, in addition to these, in response to Morsi's transfer, Dortmund and Hoffenheim made a very heartwarming move.
Aden Morsi's transfer fee is 150,000 Euros!
That's right, it's 150,000 Euros!
This is Dortmund's kindness to Hoffenheim, and it is also a parting gift for this hero.
In this regard, Hoffenheim invested all the originally prepared transfer funds in the name of Morsi into the "Sick Children's Relief Fund", and readily accepted this clause.
And this news instantly attracted the attention of major media in Germany.
They hailed Dortmund and Hoffenheim as the most heart-warming clubs.
And the 37-year-old Aden. Morsi has once again entered the public's field of vision.
Only then did they discover that this super shooter who once dominated the Champions League is now 37 years old, close to the age of retirement.
No one thinks that Morsi went to Hoffenheim to fight for strength, and the biggest possibility is to retire.
However, the transfer fee of 150,000 euros can be regarded as a good talk, and it also brought the relationship between the two clubs closer.
The club didn't care much about Morsi's residence.
He has a house in Hoffenheim itself, but this time, he bought a villa in Sinsheim for his family to live in.
In order to welcome Morsi, the Hoffenheim club also prepared a large joining ceremony.
Dome stadium, under the gaze of 80,000 fans, Morsi entered the stadium wearing the No. 9 Hoffenheim jersey.
Immediately, the whole Sinsheim boiled.
Especially Lawrence and others, tears could not stop falling down.
Unknowingly, seven years have passed, and there can be several seven years in life, but they finally saw the returnee.
His name is Aden Morsi.
He was the first kid to walk out of Hoffenheim.
…
September 15th, the third round of the 2018/2019 Bundesliga season.
In 72 minutes of the second half, Jamie scored twice.
The victory is basically established, and if they win this game, they will complete a three-game winning streak.
At this time, head coach Steven made substitution adjustments.
No. 13 Jamie off, No. 9 Morsi on.
Seeing Morsi standing on the sidelines, the scene was even more boiling.
"Aden! Aden is coming!"
"Morsi! Hahaha, long time no see!"
"While Jamie is great, I still want to watch Morsi!"
"Come on, Morsi!"
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Jamie walked to the sidelines, and he left after high-fiving Morsi.
But Jamie did not return to the bench, but stood on the sidelines and looked at Morsi's back with piercing eyes, just like seven years ago.
Morsi was Hoffenheim's main striker at the time.
And Jamie is just a young player in the youth training of Goslin Club.
He respects Morsi.
Morsi is also the target he always needs to catch up with.
For this reason, before the club approached him, he took the initiative to give up the No. 9 jersey.
Because he is willing to give up the No. 9 jersey for Morsi.
Hoffenheim has a total of three No. 9 shirts.
First: Morsi.
Second: Biartini.
Third: Jamie.
Jamie doesn't want to see the player who once made him look forward to wearing a miscellaneous number on the field.
Moreover, he also knows that Morsi will not play for long.
This season is likely to be retired.
It didn't take a season, and he didn't feel it was a big deal.
At this time, a mean voice came.
"Hey man, your number 9 jersey has been robbed!"
Needless to say, it was Ranier.
Without looking back, Jamie said, "You didn't even make the starting lineup."
Ranie: "..."
Well, the nostalgic game of this game, Gray replaced Ranier as the starter.
Jamie is replaced by Morsi.
After Morsi entered the field, the fans cheered fiercely.
Morsi himself was in high spirits.
In the past seven years, Hoffenheim has undergone great changes, but the fiery atmosphere on the scene has never changed.
"Hey, Aden."
Gray walked over with a smile.
Morsi looked at the captain's armband on Gray's arm, grinned and said, "Why did Captain Ball look for you? I think Zarno is more suitable."
The smile on Gray's face was stifled, and he rushed over directly, clamping Morsi's head with his arms, and the latter could only win consecutively and beg for mercy.
The fans at the scene were naturally very happy when they saw this scene.
They were also quite surprised that Captain Gray, who was usually meticulous, would have such a side.
After the two had finished fighting, they returned to their respective positions.
The game restarts.
Morsi felt the rhythm right away.
His running-in time is too short, and he still can't fully integrate into the team.
And Hoffenheim's current style of play also made him feel a little strange.
However, this is not a problem.
Morsi himself is a flexible player.
And he is very adaptable, which is his unique skill.
After feeling the impact of his two wingers, Morsi acted decisively.
He took the lead in retreating, and the Borussia players behind did not keep up.
Morsi took the initiative to ask for the ball, and Habr passed the ball directly, but Morsi chose to pass it back.
After the pass back, he looked back again and saw several players dropping back.
Morsi secretly judged that Borussia players don't pay too much attention to themselves.
This is good news for him.
The 37-year-old Morsi can no longer play as smartly as before, and his confrontation is also much weaker.
However, in the case of a five-man defense, he can still make some contributions.
for example...
Zlatan Ibstruj passed the ball, and the Borussia players were about to take off. At this time, they saw a black and red figure from the corner of their eyes.
"Stop him!"
They shouted subconsciously.
At this point, Morsi has already vacated.
The others also took off hastily, but there were so many Borussia players, and Morsi was a little unstable in the air.
But Morsi straightened his psoas muscles and rubbed the ball lightly.
The ball immediately slid down to the back point.
At this time, Leo slapped the horse in the back position, facing the ball and hitting the goal from a small angle.
The ball immediately went over the goalkeeper's palm and into the net.
"Goal!!!!!!!!!"
"Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!"
"Leo's goal! An assist from Morsi!"
"Beautiful diversion with a header, beautiful shot!"
