Chapter 119 Next Season! Champions League!
Hoffenheim, inside the Warriors bar.
Under a dim light, two vague shadows are constantly flickering.
Lawrence half-closed his eyes, his face flushed under the influence of alcohol.
He hiccupped and laughed; "Koch is right, Hoffenheim needs... a smart person, we are all stupid!"
Opposite him, Zhang Xian took a sip of his wine and said, "I'm not a smart person."
"But for Hoffenheim, you have accomplished this mission very well!" Lawrence said with a confident face, and immediately smiled; "Look at the changes in Hoffenheim in the past ten years, it's like a dream."
"We're in the Bundesliga!"
"We built our own home stadium!"
"We won the UEFA Europa League trophy, which was unthinkable before."
After a pause, Lawrence looked at Zhang Xian and said, "It's all because of you."
Zhang Xian also smiled, raised his glass and said, "Then I won't be humble."
"You don't need to be humble!" Lawrence shook his head and said, "Here, in Hoffenheim, no one can deny your value. This is true now, and it will be true in the future."
"The future Hoffenheim will also remember your name, Zhang Xian... right?"
Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Very standard."
The two took a sip, and Zhang Xian said, "They were all partying in Sinsheim, why didn't you go?"
Lawrence laughed; "Seeing the cup is enough, and if I don't come back, who will entertain you?"
Zhang Xian shook his head and laughed, "Are you sure I won't go back?"
"The last time Gray got married, you didn't go. Gray was very depressed at the time. He should really want to get your blessing."
Zhang Xian said helplessly, "I had something to do at the time."
"Work is work. I know you are working hard for Hoffenheim, but sometimes you should learn to relax." Lawrence pointed to Zhang Xian and said; "At least you have to solve your personal problems."
"Personal problem?" Zhang Xian raised his eyebrows.
"Ten years!" Lawrence said speechlessly; "In the past ten years, we haven't seen any opposite sex enter or leave your house."
Zhang Xian waved his hand and said, "Mary and Neumann often come here."
Lawrence said, "They don't count, you know what I'm talking about."
After finishing speaking, Lawrence said drunkenly; "You are a celebrity now, and you are also a celebrity. Many beautiful girls in Germany want to climb into your bed. What is the name of that model? The one who publicly showed her love!"
"Selina!" Zhang Xian shook his head.
"That's right, it's her! She's an open invitation, and you haven't responded to it. I'm starting to wonder if you like men."
Zhang Xian grinned and said, "I'm just very cautious about feelings."
"Well, Chinese people are very affectionate." Lawrence waved his hand; "But you should also find some girls to solve it?"
Zhang Xian put down his wine glass and said, "If you want to talk about this, I'll go back."
"Don't talk! Don't talk! Don't talk!" Lawrence waved his hands again and again, for fear that Zhang Xian would run away.
Lawrence took another big sip and smiled inexplicably.
Zhang Xian asked, "What good thing did you think of?"
Lawrence grinned; "Thinking of next season..."
"What's going to happen next season?" Zhang Xian wondered.
Lawrence opened his hands and said loudly: "The Champions League! We want to play the Champions League!"
"This is the real No. 1 league in the world, the UEFA Champions League! There are countless strong teams there, and that is the ultimate glory that all major clubs are chasing! And we are going to appear on that stage, which is simply... so exciting Already!"
Zhang Xian shook his head and said, "Believe me, it will be difficult for us to enter the knockout round!"
Lawrence curled his lips and said, "We are the champions of the Europa League!"
"Sevilla is also the champion of the Europa League, so they were also eliminated?" Zhang Xian said indifferently: "You should know the gap between the Europa League and the Champions League."
Lawrence grinned; "Can't you let me have a dream?"
"Daydreaming is not a good phenomenon." Zhang Xian shook his head, and immediately smiled; "We will start hitting the Bundesliga next season."
Lawrence was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately said pleasantly; "You mean..."
Zhang Xian said: "Leverkusen has set an example for us. The era of Munich 1900's dominance over the Bundesliga should be over. I don't want the Bundesliga to be so dull. The future Bundesliga... let's call it the Bundesliga for now. It should be more lively Some."
Lawrence said with anticipation: "We are going to make a big move in the summer window?"
Zhang Xian asked curiously, "Why do you feel this way?"
Lawrence said: "Every time we have a goal, we are willing to spend money. Can you say who we want to buy?"
"No!" Zhang Xian said speechlessly.
The horoscope has not yet been written, and the old man is too anxious.
"But Jamie is leaving!"
A sudden sentence made Lawrence hug his head and said in frustration: "Damn! I don't want to hear these words now!"
At the end of today's parade, Jamie also announced his upcoming transfer.
The news came as a bolt from the blue for Hoffenheim fans.
However, under the impact of the champion's emotions, it got a little better.
Jamie's departure has become an established fact, and relevant personnel from the Stanford Club will come to discuss the transfer contract tomorrow.
Hoffenheim and Stanford have been pulling skins for so long, and the latter is impatient.
After gaining vested interests, Hoffenheim is also ready to let go.
As for Jamie's successor, there are multiple options in the team, and the Russian is currently the top priority.
But I heard that Steven had other ideas, so he was not in such a hurry.
Anyway, Jamie's departure has become a fact.
The next step is the selection of key publicity figures.
There is no doubt that Hoffenheim will regroup around Leo.
Ludimode has already taken off the No. 10 jersey, and Leo will wear his own brand-new No. 10 jersey next season. This is also proof that Hoffenheim is ushering in its final form.
These young players have been raised for so long, and it's time to play a role.
At the same time, Hoffenheim and Meazza Milan also began to contact to discuss the transfer of "Barton".
Button performed very well in Serie A, which is why Hoffenheim decided to take Button back.
Barton will also become the first player to be taken back by Hoffenheim.
Zhang Xian sipped his wine slightly, and said to himself; "Next season, the Bundesliga should be lively..."
The only answer was a grunt.
Lawrence had already fallen asleep with his head knocked on the table.
Zhang Xian shook his head helplessly, put the wine glass back in place, and notified Lawrence's wife to come pick him up, and then walked out of the bar.
The wind at night was extremely cool, and the small village was still pitch black, with only patches of street lamps illuminating the winding road.
The future of Hoffenheim looks like this road.
What awaits them in the dark, cannot be known.
The only thing you can do is keep going.
