After losing this game, Sloane did not arrange any additional training after the game. He gave the boys a day off and flew directly to Manchester the next day, then transferred to Liverpool to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

Qin Tian refused to go out for a relaxing thought with Ozil and the others. He walked alone on the streets of Gelsenkirchen. Although he knew that this was a small setback in his career, he lost a championship after all. Even if he used Ah Q's mentality to numb himself, he would still feel uncomfortable.

Before I knew it, I came to the "Miners Bar", which is said to be the largest fan bar in the Schalke 04 Club in Gelsenkirchen. This is not the first time Qin Tian has been here.

When I first walked into the bar, most people in the bar turned their attention to Qin Tian. Qin Tian had long been used to others' salutes to him. The fans here will not harass you, and there will be no paparazzi here, so Schalke 04 players like to come here for whatever they have.

No matter which league or country, paparazzi will always be the ones that make people hate and love. In Qin Tian’s opinion, they will always hate more than love. Of course, the German media cannot be compared with the English media. It is said that there is quite awesome there. And when it comes to changing the situation and taking advantage of the situation, it is perfect.

When you perform well, you praise you so that there are only ones in the sky and nothing on the earth, holding you in your palm, but once you perform a little worse or something negative, congratulations, wait to go to hell. Especially like Qin Tian, ​​you just lost the game and came to the bar to relax. Once you are discovered by paparazzi, don’t worry, the front page title of the next day must be: Lose the bar and get drunk, the new star falls, etc.

"Hi, Qin. Are you going to have a beer?" The boss happened to be talking to the old customer at the bar, "I'm not in a high mood, are you still thinking about the competition?"

Qin Tian took the beer and took a big sip, "It's a lie to say you don't mind, you're so unwilling to accept it."

"Haha, it's okay, you're still young, and you have the chance to win the championship. Besides, you're not bad at playing, do you think so?" The boss raised the beer in his hand and surrounded him.

"Yes, you guys played well, don't lose the face of our miners."

"Yes, yes. We didn't expect you, the zg guy, to play so well. Besides, are there any Champions League and Bundesliga in stoppage time? You'll win them all, and it'll be OK soon."

"Old guy, you really dare to think about it. Do you think Liverpool are just having a good time?"

"Fart. Didn't Chelsea and Barcelona fall at our feet too? Believe in our young guy."

"That's right, the coal miner (nickname Schalke 04) will win!"

"It will win!"

Looking at the emotional uncles, Qin Tian felt much better, but he was not so unhappy. People are animals that they habitually forget.

While Qin Tian was sitting at the previous table and looking at the passers-by coming and going outside the window, he suddenly felt two people sitting opposite him, "Hi, Qin! Don't mind we'll sit here."

Qin Tian turned his head to look at them. The two men in their 50s looked like they were once athletes, but somehow Qin Tian felt that they were very familiar with each other. In short, they had seen each other somewhere.

"Haha, I think we two should introduce ourselves. I'm Hub Stevens."

"Klaus Fisher."

Qin Tian remembered who these two people were when he heard the name, Schalke 04's most famous head coach, and the striker selected in the past century's best team selected by Schalke fans in 2004 when the club was established a century ago.

Qin Tian was surprised and excited to see the two most successful characters in the club history here. If Kulanyi and the big brothers were here, I wouldn't know what excitement would be like.

Hub Stevens, a Dutch coach, started his coaching career at the Roda JC Football Club in the Netherlands. He has been in German football for many years. He coached Schalke 04 from 1996 to 2002, and led Schalke 04 to the UEFA Cup in 1997. This was the team's biggest breakthrough in European competitions. In 2001, he led the team to almost win the double championship, but in the end the league failed and became a famous 4-minute champion. The next year he defeated Leverkusen and defended the German Cup.

When Coach Stevens just took over Schalke 04, the team had just escaped from the bankruptcy crisis. Apart from the old captain Ton, there were almost no big-name players in the team. But he successfully built the team into a famous European iron army and enjoyed the reputation of "European Fighter". Later, he successfully brought out a group of Schalke stars, such as later German national goal Lehman, Belgian captain Wilmotz, rear-league top scorer Marx, and Bayern iron guard Thomas Link.

Stevens is the coach with the longest coach in the team's history, with a total of 5 years and 9 months. In 2004, he was named Schalke's 04 Best Coach in the Year, and this is a legendary figure.

Klaus Fisher played for 4 clubs in his career, played for Schalke 04 from 1970 to 1981, scoring a total of 182 goals for the team, including one season in absent. He played 40 times for the national team, scoring 31 goals, and 23 times on the European battlefield and scoring 15 goals. This is a shooting machine with a lot of goals.

I just don’t know how these two masters of the former team appeared in front of me at the same time today.

Qin Tian didn't know that Stevens and Fisher came together today, and who should they be entrusted? Of course, it was Mr. Reiberg. He admired Qin Tian, ​​a young man who suddenly appeared, very much. Reiberg admired Qin Tian very much. Although he knew that he would definitely be able to overcome the failure, he was still worried.

So Mr. Reiberg specially commissioned Stevens and Fisher to teach Qin Tian some experience. Both of them have played for Schalke 04 for many years, have a deep affection for the club, and are also very concerned about the team's future development.

"Qin, do you know the history of Schalke 04? Do you know what the biggest regret of us coaches and players who have played for the team?" Stevens looked at Qin Tian and asked this.

Qin Tian nodded first and then shook his head. He didn't understand why he asked this. Seeing Qin Tian shaking his head, Stevens began to tell the team:

What you know about Schalke 04's predecessor is the Westfall 1904 Schalke Sports Club, founded in 1904 by a group of children in their 10s. At that time, the players were all workers, and the club's funds were very limited. At that time, there was no Bundesliga, only the German Championship. The team won the league championship for the first time in 34 and won the first German Cup in 37. Until 58, Schalke 04 won a total of 7 German Championship championships.

When the Bundesliga was founded in 1963, Schalke 04 was also one of the founding members, but due to strength issues, he had not won the Bundesliga championship for many years. He was relegated three times from 1981 to 1991. In 2001, 2005 and last year, we were both closest to the championship, especially in 2001. That was the closest I led the team. At that time, Bayern Munich's match against Hamburg ended at 90 minutes. Hamburg scored. If the score was maintained until the end, we would win the Bundesliga championship that year. As long as Hamburg persisted for 4 minutes, it would be 4 minutes. But Bayern then tied Hamburg with a free kick, alas.

Last year, when we were 11 points ahead of Stuttgart, we were reversed by the opponent in the final stage, and the league championship was our dream. Although we could not achieve this dream, seeing the performance of your current players makes us old guys pleased.

We all hope to see Schalke 04 truly stand at the top of Germany and Europe in our lifetime. The team is very good, very young, very impactful, and a group of people with ideals and passion. So it has nothing to do with difficulties and setbacks. If the German Cup is gone, it will be gone. Only when the team develops well can it continue to be brilliant.

"So you are here to comfort me, haha, don't worry. I don't think I'm that fragile," Qin Tian smiled faintly.

"You are the most talented player I have ever seen." Stevenson suddenly changed the subject and looked at Qin Tian. Fisher, who was beside him, also nodded frequently, as if he agreed.

"Me?" Qin Tian was very surprised. Now he was a little confused about the other party's meaning.

"Yes, it's you," Stevenson lit a cigar. "I've studied all your games, you may not know. Michelle and I have talked about you. Since you played professional football, you have improved every day, which is very fast. It's a little bit exaggerated to say that you are Schalke 04's soul now, but you are definitely a core player."

"I think I'm still making progress very slowly, hehe," Qin Tian scratched his head.

"That's a big deal, I'm not as coquettish as you when I was so young," Fisher, who was beside me, drank a sip of wine.

"Michelle has always been paying attention to you. He believes that your future must be brilliant, and I think so too. But the only thing we worry about is that you are still young after all, and you are different from other players and have not been trained by the youth team and the youth team so the future will not be so smooth. However, when I saw you today, I think Michelle is a bit worrying. You are not the kind of person with low self-control."

"Okay, I won't talk about it anymore. Today's mission is completed." Stevenson's expression suddenly changed, "Damn, it's so tiring to preach such a kind and kind thing. They are all old guy Reiberg, and they always have to pay back the favors they owe."

"Reeberg?" Qin Tian then realized that it was this old guy who made it. This damn old man always likes to do these bloody things. "Thank you two, why don't you invite you to have a drink."

"This is almost the same. I said so much, and I was speechless. I didn't go home until I was drunk." Fisher hit the table with a cup, browsing.
Chapter completed!
