The next day is coming soon, and today is much cooler than yesterday!

Just yesterday evening, Mainz received a torrential rain.

After a rainstorm, the whole world is much brighter and cooler, and today's maximum temperature is only 24 degrees Celsius.

There was also a cool breeze from time to time, and the weather was very good, which was perfect for the game.

The players of Mainz II and Mainz Under-19s have already arrived on the sidelines to prepare for this important upcoming game.

At this time, all the eyes of the players in the stadium were focused on the sidelines.

Because Klopp, the manager of Mainz's first team, has come to the sidelines. He was wearing a normal sports jacket, sweatpants, and a pair of glasses, like a neighbor's uncle.

Jurgen Klopp smiled and walked to the side of Mainz Under-19 coach Kramney and gave him a warm hug.

"Hello old man!" Klopp said.

Cramney smiled and said with a wistful face, "Hello, old man! ”

Kramney played for Mainz since 1997 and played until 2005, where he and Jurgen Klopp were teammates and good friends, and Klopp also coached him, so the two had a close relationship.

At the end of the 2004-2005 season, Kramney left Mainz for Darmstadt. After a season here, he opted to retire. As soon as he retired from football, he received an invitation from Jurgen Klopp and then returned to Mainz to become the head coach of Mainz's Under-19 team.

He has now been playing for Mainz's Under-19s for more than a year and the two are in constant contact privately.

So the two didn't have too many pleasantries.

Klopp looked directly at the Mainz Under-19s team and saw the big backs in the crowd at a glance. Looking at such an image, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose upward, and he said: "This is the talented striker from China you told me?" ”

Previously, Kramney privately recommended Gu Zhen to him many times, and once said that Gu Zhen was very good and talented. Klopp kept it in mind. He is very aware of his old buddy's character, and to be able to get this old man's unsparing recommendation and appreciation, this teenager from China should still have some strength.

Therefore, he still has a little impression of Gu Zhen.

I don't know, knowing that Klopp has an impression of him before they have met, what kind of reaction will Gu Zhen have? Will the tail go straight to the sky?

Cramney nodded and said, "Yes, that's him!" ”

Klopp smiled and said: "I don't know what his strength is, but I know his unique temperament!" ”

Cramney also smiled and said: "Young people, it is understandable that they pursue individuality alone!" ”

Klopp bowed slightly, and turned to look at Kramney.

After a while, he said, "It seems that you are very spoiled!" ”

Kramney shook his head slightly and said, "No, no, no, it's different from our time now, and young people's sense of autonomy is far greater than ours. Also, although he usually jumps out of the way, but on the court, he is definitely more stable than anyone else! ”

Klopp glanced at Gu Zhen and bowed slightly: "Then I'll wait to see his performance on the court!" ”

Cramney said confidently, "Look, he won't let you down!" ”

Klopp shook his head slightly and said, "His opponent is not me, but those two guys from the second team!" ”

Hearing this, Kramney couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Mainz second team, he knew who Klopp was talking about? He found the two in the crowd, one with a golden hair, named Alexander Peteressky, and the other called Khyber Amani, both of whom are doing very well in the Mainz II team now.

One of the ones who called Amani is even more popular, and it is said that the German Under-20 youth team and the Afghanistan Under-20 youth team have thrown olive branches to him, and it is now a hot item.

These two do have some strength, and they are indeed two strong rivals for Gu Zhen.

Kramney said lightly: "They are quite powerful, but I believe in Gu Zhen, and I believe that you will also choose Gu Zhen!" ”

Klopp was slightly stunned and said, "You are so confident? ”

Kramney smiled and said, "Of course! ”

Klopp glanced at Kramney and said, "I'll see!" ”

Before Cramney could speak, a familiar voice suddenly came from the two of them, saying, "I'll wait and see!" ”

Both of them were stunned, and immediately turned their heads to look, and they both smiled slightly and said, "Peter, when did you come here?" ”

It was Peter Neustadt, the head coach of the Mainz II team.

Neustadt was a team-mate of Mainz in the duo's playing days, a former Kazakhstan international who also stayed at Mainz after retiring and is now the head coach of Mainz's second team.

Neustadt glanced at Kramney and said, "Just when you said your players are better than mine!" ”

Kramney looked at Neustadt and said, "Why do you have a different opinion?" ”

"Of course!" Neustadt said.

Kramney said, "Then tell me what you think!" ”

Neustadt immediately said: "Xiao Gu's strength is good, but now it's still a little tender to go to the first team." I think the only thing that can alleviate Klopp's shortage of strikers is our second team's strikers, as for Khyber or Alexander, it depends on which of the two of them performs better today! ”

Kramney immediately shook his hand and said, "No, no, no! You are wrong, Xiao Gu is definitely better than the two you said, and it must be him who goes to the first team! ”

Klopp interrupted the two, he was afraid that he would not come forward, and the two were afraid that they would pinch each other.

Klopp said: "Since you are all so confident, then let's see the real thing on the pitch! ”

Neustadt and Kramney looked at each other and said, "Okay, then we'll see you on the court!" ”

After saying that, both said goodbye to Klopp and returned to their respective coaching seats.

Neustadt immediately called the players of the second team to him and instructed: "This game is a very important game for you, even more important than the usual league. Because the manager of the first team, Mr. Klopp, was on the sidelines. As long as you perform well, you have the opportunity to go to the first team, isn't that what you've always been looking forward to? So, let's do it all! ”

The players of the second team perked up and shouted excitedly: "Got it, boss!" ”

Neustadt was very pleased with the attitude of the players and nodded incessantly.

Neustadt then said to Amani and Petresky: "This game is especially important for both of you, the first team is in desperate need of strikers. I hope you both take the chance! ”

Amani and Petroresky were so excited that their eyes lit up.

Seeing the excited two, Neustadt said: "But don't be too happy. The coach of the U19 youth team, Mr. Kramney, thinks that their youth striker Gu Zhen is better than you and should go to the first team! ”

The faces of the two Amani instantly collapsed, and they were a little gloomy.

Petroresky said even more angrily: "We will lose to a little guy who has not grown all his hair? Don't worry, boss, we will teach him a good lesson and let him know the cruelty of the senior team! ”

Amani didn't speak, but that's what he meant.

Neustadt bowed slightly, satisfied with the attitude of the two. He said: "I hope you will use your strength to teach your juniors that he will not be too ambitious. I'm sure it must be the two of you who go to the first team, and I hope you don't let me down! ”

Amani immediately said, "Don't worry, boss! We're going to teach that kid to be a good man, and we're going to go to the first team! ”

Neustadt bowed his head slightly and said, "Alright, you guys go." The race is about to begin! ”

After speaking, all three eyes were on the coach's seat of the Mainz U19 youth team.

In front of the coach's seat of the Mainz U19 youth team, Kramney stood in front of Gu Zhen and said seriously: "Xiao Gu, this game is very important to you, whether you can go to the first team depends on today, you know?" ”

Gu Zhen was no longer excited at this time, he was very calm.

Gu Zhen nodded and said, "Sir, I know!" I'm not going to let you down, and I won't let me down. The first team, I'm going to settle it! ”

Cramney reached out and patted Gu Zhen's shoulder, very satisfied.

Kramney said, "But, Xiao Gu! In this game, your competitors are very strong, and the two on the second team are very strong! ”

Gu Zhen immediately said, "Don't worry, sir." I'm definitely not worse than them, and even I'm stronger than them! ”

Kramney laughed and said, "Okay, you have to have this momentum." Let's go, I trust you, you won't let me down! ”

Gu Zhen nodded firmly at Kramney, then turned and rushed into the court.

As soon as he walked into the court, the two forwards of the second team came to Gu Zhen's side. Amani stared at Gu Zhen contemptuously and said, "Boy, wait for us to teach you how to be a man." This time the first team place will be your tuition! ”

Gu Zhen frowned slightly, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Anyone can say big things, I hope you can give me a little pressure when you come to the game." Otherwise, the quota of this team will come too easily! ”

Petreski was extremely angry, stared at Gu Zhen with wide eyes, and said in an extremely cold voice: "Boy, the pheasant and the phoenix are incomparable, I will let you understand the gap between you and us, boy, you are finished!" ”

Gu Zhen said with a sigh: "Yes, there is a big gap between us, pheasants!" ”

After speaking, Gu Zhen immediately turned around and walked into the court.

Amani and the others stared at Gu Zhen's back, and their lungs were about to explode. The two stared at Gu Zhen's back, and secretly said in their hearts: "Boy, you are dead!" ”
