Gelsenkirchen is located in the northern part of the Ruhr region in western Germany, and it is estimated that the name of this city will be known by few people in China, but as a fan, you must know the Bundesliga powerhouse in Gelsenkirchen, Schalke 04!
In this city that prospered because of coal, there were many Germans who had emigrated from Turkey, they were of Turkish descent, but with German nationality, gathered in a neighborhood called Bismarck, which was also called the poorest Turkish street in Germany by the Germans!
Of course, such a title carries a bit of insult, but even in the modern age of civilization, it still cannot change some objective facts!
The reason why Thuram was determined to promote his anti-racism in France and all over Europe from an early age is because he was racist from an early age, and what is officially promoted is often different from the actual situation, all over the world!
Due to the heavy pollution of the coal mining industry, it was closed in the 80s, so that the Bismarck neighborhood is full of unemployed people, children, young people, middle-aged people, old people, all kinds of people, they have nothing to do, and they are receiving the aid of the German political axe, which makes people from the outside world look down on the people here, and they will insult the surname and say that this is a group of social moths.

A little more than a kilometre north of Bismarck's neighbourhood, you can see Schalke 04's Weltings Stadium, but now more people call it Schalke Stadium, and next to this stadium there is a very humble school called the Bergfield Comprehensive School.
It's a very, very ordinary school, and the only thing that's special about him is that he's one of the many schools that work with Schalke 04 to train young players next door to Schalke Stadium.
There is a saying in the Bismarck neighborhood that if you can't become a professional footballer, you can only choose to be unemployed, so in this Bergfeld comprehensive school, countless teenagers of Turkish descent from the Bismarck neighborhood are studying hard, and then there will be three mornings a week, without classes, to receive coaching from Schalke 04 youth coaches.
It is said that there are some talented young players who will be selected directly into the Schalke 04 junior team.
Entering this very ordinary campus, I came to the lobby under the teaching building, where there is a display case of athlete cards of past graduates, through this display case, you can see the uniqueness of this school. Don't look at this school as inconspicuous, but in fact, it provides a large number of professional players for Schalke 04, including Schalke 04's main goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, and defender Benedikt who played at Schalke 04 this season? Hevedes, defender Sebastian who switched from Schalke 04 to Werder Bremen? Bernisch.
The most recent one is Joel, a 17-year-old Cameroonian central defender who has just been taken away by Schalke 04 and joined the Schalke 04 junior team? Joel Matip is a rising star of centre-back who has been highly regarded by countless scouts.
A slender hand lightly pressed the glass case, through the glass, and the position of the hand was just over one of the player cards, which was behind Neuer, and the name was Mesut? Mesut Ozil, a player who is now being criticized by Schalke 04 fans, is also another professional star who came out of the Begerfield Comprehensive School.
"Hey, Mesut?" In the distance, an old man saw Ozil's figure, looked familiar, and shouted.
"Hello, Uncle Khova!" Ozil turned around and greeted politely, that was the janitor of Bergfield Comprehensive School, Thomas? Khova, a very nice guy, is also a player who has watched Mesut Ozil grow here.
"Are you looking for Mr. Clambey?" Howva asked with a smile.
Ozil nodded, "He said in the dormitory, I'll go look for him!" β
"Okay, you go, I'm going to look around!"
With that, Khova left, and Ozil took a second look at the badge on the glass case, on which he looked immature, it was a picture of him when he was younger.
Chrisch? Cranbe, the English teacher at the Begfield Comprehensive School, was Ozil's most respected teacher in the school, and even Ozil felt that he had changed his life.
"Krish!" Ozil knocked on the door and entered.
"Oh, Mesut!" Cranbe was pleased to see Ozil and immediately welcomed him into his quarters.
"Are you coming to tutor English again? As I told you, your English is so good that you don't need to tutor anymore! Clambe poured water as he beckoned Ozil to sit casually.
Although they are teachers and students, their relationship is actually more like friends, after all, Ozil is now a professional player for Schalke 04, and Krambe is a fan of Schalke 04.
Ozil sat down, looked around, and immediately saw the chess on the opposite table, and paused.
"What, play a handful?" Krambe smiled and proposed.
Ozil shook his head, "No, Christie, I'm not in the mood today!" β
"It's not like you, Mesut, aren't you the most addicted to chess?" Clambe joked.
Ozil played chess, so to speak, Clambe single-handedly brought out, he was very fascinated, as early as when he was still in this school, he was addicted to chess, he enjoyed that kind of thinking, and the feeling of predicting the opponent's move, so that he was sure in his heart, it is this way of thinking that chess often has to read one or two more moves than others, so that he has a high ability to predict on the football field, as well as the ability to read the game.
And all this, Clambe contributed a lot, especially when Ozil was rejected by Schalke 04, it was Clambe who encouraged him and let him go to the lower league team of Red and White Essen in Linzhen to train, and then there was the incident of Ozil being chased by Schalke 04, and finally he was able to join Schalke 04.
But even now, he is not a regular for Schalke 04, especially in the second half of the league.
"Is something wrong? Tell me about it, Mesut! Clambe took a sip and proposed.
Ozil blinked vigorously a few times at his unspeakably ugly, but unique fish-bubble eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "I...... I'm getting out of here! β
"Oh?" Clambe didn't look surprised, "Where to go?" Bundesliga or Bundesliga? β
In fact, as early as when he learned English from Ozil, Clambe had already understood that his heart was probably no longer in Schalke 04, otherwise, there was no need for him to learn English, which is the international language, but in Schalke 04, German is the official language.
Of course, although he is a fan of Schalke 04, Krambe does not blame Ozil for wanting to leave, in fact, he wonders why he chose to stay half a year ago, specially studied English for more than half a year, and only now decided to leave?
Now Ozil is not famous, Cranbe is more speculating, I don't know if it is the Bundesliga and Bundesliga team that has taken a fancy to Ozil, and will not think of abroad, after all, Ozil has not won many results, although he is a member of Germany's U19.
Oh no, maybe he has a good result, which is that he became the leading scorer in the tournament with 16 points in the international indoor football competition in GΓΆttingen in '06, but no one cares about such a game, especially a professional team.
"Abroad, Premier League teams!" Ozil smiled and was content when it came to his new owner.
In fact, he is not a person who does not know how to be satisfied, but at Schalke 04 he feels that he is not respected, and even he feels that he is being ignored, whether it is the club or the fans.
As early as when Ozil signed his first professional contract with Schalke 04, the other party told Ozil that he would be a key player for the club and that he would be the future of the club, but he had to be loyal to the club and wait patiently for opportunities.
Mesut Ozil did so, so he made 19 first-team appearances in his first season, most of them as substitutes, but he had no complaints and remained loyal to Schalke 04.
But the clubs in the world are the same, eating in the bowl, looking at the pot, after already having the hope of Ozil, they still choose to introduce Croatian star Rakitic from Basel, Switzerland, which cost Schalke 04 a total of 3 million euros, and the latter is the same age as Ozil, the strength is not obviously much stronger than Ozil, but he is the main force of the team.
As for Mesut Ozil, he was unfortunately forgotten by Schalke 04.
Originally, during the winter break, he received a number of invitations from Bundesliga teams, including Werder Bremen, but at that time, Ozil chose to stay, which was somewhat surprising.
It was at that time that he began to learn English from Clambey, began to read independently, and began to want to look stronger, but all this did not change his status at Schalke 04, he was still not valued, but his talent and talent were obvious.
Now, he's finally leaving!
Clambe had already guessed that there would be this day and smiled, "The team in the Premier League? No wonder you're going to learn English, did they suggest it? β
Ozil shook his head, "No, they didn't give me any promises at the time, it was just that their scouts were watching my game and telling me that if I wanted to go out and play and show my skills under the wider sky, I had to make myself readable and strong. β
So since then, Ozil has started to improve his physical fitness, and after each training session, in addition to the routine technical training, he also adds physical training to himself, and will also find time to learn English with Clambey.
'They told me I had the potential to play in the top teams out there and I believed in them!' Ozil laughed.
When Clambe heard this, his brow furrowed, "Wait, Mesut, you say you believe them?" God, maybe they just talk nonsense, or maybe they're simply irresponsible, and you chose to stay in Schalke 04 because of what they said? β
'Of course, Chrischi, I was hesitant and not ready, so I chose to stay, but now, I'm ready, and as it happens, they've contacted me recently and asked if I'm interested in playing for their team.
"And then ......," Krambe wanted Ozil to continue.
"Then I didn't hesitate to say yes, but they also reminded me that in their team, there is no guarantee that I will play the main team, there is no guarantee of my appearances, and there is no guarantee of my future, they can only give me a platform to level the playing field, train with a group of the best players in the world, and compete for playing opportunities together!"
At this point, Ozil's already swollen eyes became larger and full of frenzy, "You know what? Chrischi, to be able to play for a club like this, that's my dream, I hardly have any reason to turn them down, Werder Bremen, Bayer Leverkusen...... These teams that interest me can give me some short-term guarantees, but I still want to join this top club! β
"I'm eager to prove myself there, it's the focus of the fans all over the world, the biggest stage in the world!"
For the first time, Krambe saw such a persistent pursuit and fanaticism on Ozil's face, and even he wondered if Ozil was crazy enough to join such a club that had not given him any guarantees.
But just when Krambe thought that the 19-year-old Ozil was still young and wanted to persuade him to be realistic, join the Bundesliga team, and train himself well, Ozil spoke again.
"Do you know which team it is?"
Clambe shook his head, he couldn't guess.
"Red rebels!" Ozil laughed.
Shocked, Cranbe grabbed Ozil's shoulders hard, "Red...... Red rebels? β
"Yes, Red Rebels, our opponents in the Champions League group stage last season, when I was sitting on the bench and watching their players play against Schalke's players, all I can say is that they played a wonderful football that I had never thought of in my life, pressing, controlling, fluid, delicate...... It's all fascinating! β
"Wait, Mesut, they seem to have big names in the middle of the front court right now, with world-class stars like Kaka, Sergio Aguero and Arshavin, and they're going to want you?" Clambe still couldn't believe it.
Ozil himself smiled, "I still can't believe it, but it's true, 4.5 million euros, I'm already a Red Rebel guy, I'm going to Manchester for a medical check-up, and then I'm going to China to play for the pre-season, I hope to be able to play for the Red Rebels, I believe, that's absolutely absolutely the best thing in the world!" β
'Kaka, Ronaldo, Messi, Aguero, Drogba, Cesc Fabregas, David Beckham, John Terry, Patrice Evra, Curtis...... There's no reason for me to be teammates with this group of players who would otherwise only appear in dreams, and I don't have any reason to say no, do I, Chrischi? β
Cranbe smiled bitterly, he knew what Ozil was thinking, and he didn't object, but ......, "But Mesut, what if your Red Rebel journey fails?" β
Ozil was stunned for a moment, but immediately laughed, "Failure is failure, I am only 19 years old, it's a big deal that I return to Germany, but at least I tried, even if it fails, I will not regret it in the future, but if I don't agree, let go of this opportunity in vain, I will definitely regret it in the future, Christie, that is the most unique club in the world, I can't find any reason to refuse!" β
When Clambe heard this, he laughed and nodded in agreement, for he found that at least Ozil had not lost his mind!
