Tank Country

Wolfsburg U19 Youth Training Building

"An Lan, a Dragon, born in 1991, 17 years and 99 days old, 185 cm tall, 70 kg, thin."

"Features: fast speed, fast side style, suitable for the team to open up lateral distance, fixed-point blasting, and provide strategic space."

"Excellent shooting skills, left foot, right foot is weak. A keen sense of smell in front of the goal, strong ability to find opportunities."

"Disadvantages: poor dribbling, poor basic skills. There is a clear gap with young European youth training players."

"On the whole, this player is worth training. If he can improve his dribbling skills and strengthen his basic skills within two years, he may start in the Bundesliga."

U19 youth training head coach Bauer frowned as he looked at the report uploaded on the computer.

As a first-team coach, Magath has a good relationship with youth training coach Bauer.

But Magath just called him and said that he would bring back a 17-year-old player from Longguo and wanted him to join the youth training team to play.

This is a bit against the rules!

However, due to the social etiquette, Ball agreed and promised to give An Lan a chance to play.

Many people think that only Longguo is concerned with social etiquette, but in fact, gangs exist in all countries.

Otherwise, why are there always locker room factions in the NBA or the five major leagues?

But then again, letting a newcomer who is not yet known play in the game will indeed affect the results of youth training.

In this regard, Ball said that when Magath and An Lan return to the club, An Lan will be given a physical examination.

If even the minimum requirements are not met, then there is no need to talk about playing!

......

On the other hand, after holding a press conference, An Lan did not appear in public again.

After two days of keeping a low profile, he boarded a flight to the Chariot Country.

Ten hours later, the plane landed safely.

We have arrived at the Tank Country.

Magath brought An Lan and Ye Fan to his home. His wife was very gentle and warmly entertained them.

At the dinner table, Magath said, "You two will stay at my house tonight. I will take An to the team tomorrow."

"But Ball said that he needs to do a physical examination on you. Is that okay?"

An Lan: "I am in very good condition. There is no problem, coach!"

Magath nodded and looked at Ye Fan and said, "If An passes the physical examination tomorrow, he will live in the youth training dormitory."

"As for you, you will live in my house first, but..."

Ye Fan stood up and said awkwardly in broken English, "Coach, don't worry, I am very obedient and can work. Give me a month and I will definitely learn German!"

"Haha, good!"

Magath nodded in appreciation.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests, but after all, they were living under someone else's roof, and both An Lan and Ye Fan were very restrained.

This kind of restraint did not relax until they lay in bed before going to bed.

"Brother Ye, if I go to the team tomorrow, you will suffer."

There is only one empty room in Magath's house, so An Lan and Ye Fan are squeezed on a single bed at this moment.

Ye Fan moved his body and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about me. Although I am a coach, I have a great talent for languages. I will move out and find a job after learning German."

"As for you, you have to earn money and sign a formal player contract earlier, so that I can live in a big house with you!"

An Lan smiled, "Haha, then I will work hard!"

After that, the two did not speak again.

They slept with their backs to each other

One looked at the wall, and the other looked at the door of the room.

Far away in a foreign country, the heart is full of dreams.

This is a teenager!

......

The next morning, the two got up early.

After breakfast, An Lan followed Magath to the Wolfsburg U19 Youth Training Base.

When they arrived at the gate of the base, Magath did not come in with them. He went directly to the first team.

Bob, the head coach of the youth training team, was a bald German. Although he did not show hostility when he saw An Lan, a "relative", he did not look happy.

"Come on, your knowledge of German will save you a lot of trouble. Let's do the physical examination first and then we can talk about other things."

"I'll make it clear in advance that if you can't even meet the most basic requirements of the team, I won't give you face even for Magath!"

An Lan just shrugged and said that he could start.

After a simple warm-up, the physical test began.

An Lan's physical data was displayed to Bob without reservation on the most professional instruments.

The final result was almost the same as the report Magath sent to him, proving that Magath did not deliberately exaggerate An Lan's data.

But An Lan'sThis data is just that, no surprises!

However, after the test, Bob's face finally looked better.

He looked at An Lan and said, "Next is the last test. I will arrange for you to join the team for a training match later."

"After all, things like smell and shooting skills in front of the goal cannot be measured by instruments. Do you need a rest?"

"I'm a good coach!" An Lan was neither humble nor arrogant, very calm.

"Well, follow me."

Seeing An Lan like this, Bob looked up to him again.

A 17-year-old boy who left his hometown can be so calm, which shows that his psychological quality is not bad.

Any player, no matter how good his skills are, will never work without a big heart.

The reason why superstars in football are superstars.

It's because they always stand up in key battles and become the savior of the team!

Instead of hiding and paddling in key battles, passing the ball to teammates in the last two seconds!

......

While An Lan was undergoing physical examination, the U19 players of Wolfsburg who were training on the field nearby also secretly looked at him from time to time.

The competition pressure of the youth training team was already high, and now seeing another competitor, these players were of course dissatisfied.

Compared with the domestic football youth training environment, the foreign football youth training environment is obviously more professional and more cruel.

Starting from joining the reserve team at the age of seven or eight, U10, U13, U15, U17, U19, U21, U23, second-tier team, first-tier team substitute, first-tier team starter.

One step at a time, if you fall behind, you will be eliminated!

It can be said that as long as your talent potential or growth rate is not up to par, you will basically have no chance of entering the top five leagues.

Of course, geniuses can skip grades.

This is why Bob was a little dissatisfied.

An Lan is only 17 years old. According to his physical test report, there is no problem for him to play U17.

But playing directly in the U19 team is a treatment only for geniuses. !

When Bob brought An Lan to the youth training team, everyone was very tactful and put away their hostility.

"This is a new youth training player, and his position is temporarily set as right winger."

"Let's play a training match, and An will go to the second team."

After hearing that An Lan's position was right winger, most of the youth training team members were relieved, and only four people were still on guard.

As long as there is no direct competition, we can be friends!
