Frankfurt am Main, officially Frankfurt am Main, is the fifth largest city in Germany and the largest city in Hesse, an important industrial, commercial, financial and transportation center in Germany and even Europe, located in Hesse in western Germany, in the lower reaches of the Main River, a tributary of the Middle Rhine.

The main river under the blue sky and white clouds is quiet and beautiful, and the boats passing on the river are not slow, as if they can't bear to break the tranquil river.

Listening to the rhythmic drumbeat of the car, Zheng Zhi leaned against the window, browsing the beautiful scenery of Frankfurt and soaking up the tranquility.

When I arrived at the Frankfurt Club, it was already 11 a.m.

To Zheng Zhi's surprise, Eintracht Frankfurt's transfer director and club manager Jorge Berg were already waiting here. It can be seen that they take this signing very seriously and attach great importance to it.

Fifty-four-year-old Jörg Berg also took a few special glances at Zheng Zhi's body, and he had actually watched a lot of Zheng Zhi's game videos. The reason why I am here today is that I really attach great importance to this signing.

The team already has a Chinese Yang Chen, Yang Chen performed well in the summer warm-up training, fully showing his technical characteristics, Yang Chen is characterized by speed, but sometimes too fast, causing offside. Part of the reason for this is that the passers are too slow to get out of the way, and the midfielders may have to gradually adapt to Yang Chen's characteristics in the future. In addition, due to the language barrier, Yang Chen's run-in with his German teammates was also a problem.

Now that there is an extra Chinese player, this is a good thing for Yang Chen and the club, if the young man in front of him can spark with Yang Chen, then the next thing will be much simpler.

"Welcome, lad." Berg stretched out his powerful hand and welcomed Zheng Zhi in English.

Zheng Zhi also secretly looked at the head coach Berge in his heart, Berg is very handsome, just like the protagonist in the movie 007, Pierce Brosnan! Of course, he's a little fatter.

"It's an honour to play for Eintracht Frankfurt and for you." Zheng Zhi calmly stretched out his right hand and shook it with the future head coach.

Like Horton's expression at the beginning, Berg was stunned by Zheng Zhi's fluent English. Xindao This young man is better than Yang Chen, and players who can speak English are definitely better communicators than players who don't speak English, which is equivalent to helping Yang Chen build a bridge, and his favorability towards Zheng Zhi has increased by one point at the moment.

"Complete the signing procedures as soon as possible." He patted Zheng Zhi on the shoulder......

Although he has not officially signed a contract to become a member of Frankfurt, Zheng Zhi also feels Frankfurt's enthusiasm. Subsequently, under the leadership of the staff, Zheng Zhi passed the medical examination with ease, and then accompanied by the transfer director and the head coach, Zheng Zhi finally signed his name.

In this way, he became a member of the Eintracht Frankfurt club.

Not many people witnessed this historic moment, except for a handful of Frankfurter staff members, who were journalists from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the Sport Weekly. Yan Qiang was fortunate because he later learned that he had witnessed a historic moment for China's greatest star in Europe......

However, due to missing out on the summer transfer window, Zheng Zhi was unable to play for Eintracht Frankfurt in the professional league in the first half of the season, and in the rest of the season, he could only play for China or train with Eintracht Frankfurt's first team.

Subsequently, the deputy director of transfers took Zheng Zhi and them to visit the football museum in Frankfurt, and Zheng Zhi began to implant the impression of Frankfurt in his mind.

Nickname: The Eagle (die Adler)

Red and black are the colors of Eintracht Frankfurt's jersey, and at first glance, I thought it was AC Milan......

Founded in 1861, Eintracht Frankfurt may not have a great record, but it has a very long history. And in such a 137-year-old team, most of the players are just a drop in the ocean. There's only one guy here who shows greatness.

Zheng Zhi looked at a giant statue hanging on the wall, and instantly felt his status in this team.

Korean Cha Fan Geun! He made Frankfurt's most glorious history.

During his four seasons at Eintracht Frankfurt, he helped the team win the UEFA Cup, the most important title to date.

And in that year's exhibition board, almost every photo has Che Fangen's figure. Che Fangen, who joined the Bundesliga in the late 70s and early 80s of the last century, was once hailed by the European media as one of the best players in Asia for his amazing attacking ability, and his record for Asian players in the Bundesliga was not broken until 1999, and German fans affectionately called him Bomb Car.

In the club's glorious history commemorative book, a photo of Cha Van Gen lifting the UEFA Cup is prominently printed. This is a testament to the far-reaching influence that this Asian legend has had on the Eintracht Frankfurt team.

Zheng Zhi was thinking at the moment, if Yang Chen and him developed smoothly in Frankfurt, I don't know if Yang Chen has a chance to break Che Fangen's goal record, after all, one day, their avatars will hang here like Che Fangen!

"Che Fangen,"

"Zheng Zhi, you must surpass him and press the stick down." Wu Di fanned the flames by his side, "Otherwise, the stick will definitely say, what if you join Frankfurt, and you can't reach the achievements of Che Fangen......"

……

Subsequently, Zheng Zhi and the others visited the team's training ground.

Here, he finally met Yang Chen, who was sweating like rain in training.

For Yang Chen, his debut was perfect. On August 19, 1998, in the first round of the 98-99 German Football League, Frankfurt played away against Duisburg, and Yang Chen, a Chinese player who joined Frankfurt in the summer, started for Frankfurt, becoming the first Chinese player to start in the Bundesliga and the first Chinese player to play in the top five European leagues.

In this game, although Eintracht Frankfurt lost 1:2, Yang Chen sent an assist in the 25th minute to help the team equalize. In this campaign, Yang Chen played the whole game and performed actively, which made a good start for his more successful overseas career.

got the start in the first round of the league, and you can imagine how important Yang Chen's place in Berg's heart is. And from here, it can be seen how much Berg is looking forward to Zheng Zhi, and he hopes that Zheng Zhi can activate Yang Chen more easily......

In the second round, Yang Chen still got the start, but he still didn't score.

Zheng Zhi's influence was very profound, and Yang Chen only scored his first goal in the third round of the league this Saturday, and it was also the first goal of a Chinese player in the five major leagues.

It's tomorrow.

So, he's really looking forward to tomorrow and really wants to watch it at Waldwood......

The staff in Frankfurt are too efficient, and they found a house and a car for Zheng Zhi on the same day, but well, life must take care of itself.

Coincidentally, Zheng Zhi's neighbor is Yang Chen. During the day, he couldn't greet Zheng Zhi because of training, but after finishing work, Yang Chen hosted them at a local Chinese restaurant......
