Chapter 29 Hello Captain, long time no see!
Duran Bob, this name is a legend for Hoffenheim.
He was a native of Hoffenheim himself.
also a former captain, and helped Hoffenheim enter the professional league in his time.
Although he was bought by another team, he even moved from Hoffenheim with his family.
But for Hoffenheim fans, they still can't forget the muscular man standing in front of the goalkeeper.
The man who gave them a sense of security.
Duran Bob's.
In honor of Duran Bob, hoffenheim retired the number 4 in his squad.
The number 4 jersey worn by Duran Bob was sealed and no one wore it as long as it was not there, and nobody can wear this number because it's Duran Bob's jersey number.
Now, this number has finally re-entered the 'Jurgen Stadium', something Hoffenheim fans should celebrate.
Duran Bob is very popular.
After he had walked around Hoffenheim, everyone had almost forgotten Schneider Bach in their heads, and now there was only Duran Bob.
Earlier, they were still shouting that Schneider Bach was not for sale.
But if Schneider Bach is sold to bring back Duran Bob, they will take the initiative to expel Schneider Bach.
From here it looks, how much influence Duran Bob has on this team.
In the conference room, Duran Bob, David Koch and Zhang Xian sat together.
There was a high gap at the top of the conference room wall, and currently this gap was filled with people's heads, they one by one wanted to see Duran Bob.
Every time Duran Bob turned his head to greet them, the men would cheer like animals.
Zhang Xian turned a blind eye to this. He issued a contract and said; "Master Bob, this is our contract for you, with a salary of 250 euros a week."
Duran Bauer was silent for a while: "I will receive a salary of 200 euros only. I heard that the club has spent a lot of money recently, and I'm not short of money."
Zhang Xian immediately moved.
Look at Duran Bob, he even took the initiative to cut his salary.
In such a comparison, someone like Schneider Bach was just a troublemaker!
"okay." Zhang Xian smiled; "As for where you live, the club has rented a house and helped you clean it . You can move in today, and there will be a welcoming ceremony tomorrow. For another aspect, you can communicate with the head coach."
Hearing this, Duran Bob turned his head and smiled; "hey old man."
David Koch said angrily: "You're back? For six years, you didn't come back once. I thought you died outside."
Duran Bob shouted; "It's not like that, I'm busy with competition and training? This time I will not go. I brought my wife and children here."
Davud Koch nodded and said, "I will not hesitate. Remember to come practice tomorrow."
Duran Bob nodded and said: "understand!"
At this moment, Zhang Xian suddenly spoke; "Master Koch, is there a German Cup in September?"
David Koch was stunned, nodded and said; "The German Cup begins on September 17, do you want us to participate?"
The German Cup was called the "Porcelain Cup" after it was refurbished.
Since 1999, with the premise that professional teams and amateur teams are treated equally, it is likely that the first round can meet Bundesliga teams and even Bundesliga giants.
It also allowed some amateur teams to join the championship, they wanted to rely on the 'german trophy' to increase their popularity.
If you can beat a Bundesliga team, it will make them famous and even appear in some famous German media.
For some amateur teams, this is a great opportunity to increase in popularity.
In addition, the German Cup often makes surprises and this is nothing new.
There are always Bundesliga teams that are toppled every year. Even Bayern Munich experienced the same thing several times, even to the point of being ridiculed by its own fans as "a giant toppled by tiny ants!" '.
Of course, this is just a mockery. After all, at that time, Munich 1900 played the reserve players, unless it reached the final, otherwise they would not be serious.
Therefore a knockout of the German cup is a normal one.
Now, the German Cup was about to begin, and Zhang Xian also wanted to touch the porcelain. He did not dare expect to meet the Munich giants of 1900, but it would also be advantageous to meet other Bundesliga teams.
If you meet a team like Munich 1900, you don't have to win the game. One goal is enough to be proud of by an amateur team for a year.
If there was a good opportunity like this, naturally Zhang Xian would not let go.
Moreover, at this moment, Zhang Xian could also rely on his subsequent influence to attract many new fans.
No matter how bad the result was, he could also let the Hoffenheim players exchange jerseys with each other, and after the game, they could make money by selling them back discreetly.
It can be said that playing in the German Cup is only an advantage.
In this kind of competition, which fool would want to not participate!
With Duran Bob, two loan players from Rheinbamann and David Koch coaching, Hoffenheim's defensive line can be said to be solid, as long as it does not meet strong teams at the level of the Bundesliga and Bundesliga B.
David Koch even said that as long as two full-backs on loan from Rheinbaman can be adjusted properly, this defensive line-up can keep up with the play from Bundesliga B teams.
The next day, the blue sky brightened without a trace of clouds.
The scorching sun shone on the 'Jurgen Stadium', and the entire arena seemed slightly brighter.
Along the gate of the stadium, many people stood there.
They wore blue uniforms, with blue and white lines painted on their faces, and their smiles were extremely bright.
Today has special significance for Hoffenheim, as they will welcome back the captain who is now home from 'wandering'.
Duran Bob, rejoining Hoffenheim, this big news shocked the entire village.
The Hoffenheim club specially prepared a welcoming ceremony for him. From early morning, people began flocking to the Jurgen stadium.
According to stadium capacity data, this can only accommodate less than 300 people, but there are more than 700 people entering today.
This is the appeal of Duran Bob.
To the residents of Hoffenheim, he was a hero!
At ten o'clock, the entire 'Jurgen Stadium' was full of people, and cheers one after another affected everyone's mood.
They seem to recall the night of their victory six years ago.
For them, those times were wonderful moments in memory.
"The ceremony was presided over by the club's sporting director Zhang Xian. Club chairman Jurgen Bauer, and other high-ranking officials also came to the scene to give their remarks.
It can be said that this is all a tribute to Duran Bob.
Hoffenheim fans turned their eyes towards the players.
In shadow , there seemed to be a figure advancing in the dark passage of the players.
After a while, the sun shone on the figure of the player coming out of the hallway, wearing white socks, shorts, and a blue T-shirt.
The figure is like a tower defense, and wears the number '4' back'.
As if he never left, he always stood in front of goal, shielding Hoffenheim from the wind and rain.
Seeing this scene, the Hoffenheim fans suddenly wanted to cry.
They shut their mouths, their throats choked and unable to speak.
The most unexpected thing in life is to meet again.
In this life, the most painful thing is goodbye.
One day six years ago, they drove a talented young man from the team out.
He is 26-year-old Duran Bob, an energetic young man who is eager for a higher level of competition.
They shed tears, sending their talented players away to the outside.
Six years later, they are here, to welcome back the 'travelers' who have returned home.
Duran Bob, 33, returns to 'Jurgen Stadium'.
And today they all shed tears, but those are tears of happiness.
At this moment, they seemed to be thinking back to the moment of 'first encounter', and they felt like they had returned to their glory years.
They started screaming while holding back tears.
"Hello Captain, long time no see!"
