102 Schalke 04
"Chen, to be honest, I have a good house. Do you really not take me to a guy?" When the whole team gathered in the club and was about to take the bus to Gelsenkirchen, Dzeko asked with a smile on Chen Qing's shoulder.
Because of the intense schedule, Magath had not had time to arrange a high-intensity training plan for Dzeko, and the Bosnia and Herzegovina striker's life was a bit comfortable.
He pulled Chen Qing to chat about Chinese food.
After returning to Wolfsburg from Bucharest, taking a day off at the club, Chen Qing's parents organized a dinner at their son's residence and invited the whole Wolfsburg team to have a meal together.
This is a relatively common operation for Chinese parents.
Similar to when parents visit their son who is studying in a different place, they will bring some delicious food to their son's roommates in the same dormitory, or ask everyone to have a meal directly.
Chen Qing failed to go to college and took a break from school to play professional football. Chen Dashan and Zhao Xiaoyu and his wife used Chen Qing's teammates as replacements for their roommates.
Thanks to Chen Qing's good popularity in the team, no one was absent from this party.
Aunt Zhao took these young people to take a group photo happily and posted it on Zhalang's blog, which welcomed a rainbow fart from netizens.
However, Aunt Zhao has been living a pampering life for so many years and seems to be overestimating her ability to cook and is a little busy.
In the end, it was the place where my son saved it.
Seeing that his mother couldn't handle it, Chen Qing immediately called a familiar Chinese restaurant to help deliver many dishes.
In addition, Chen Qing rolled up his sleeves and turned into a chef, processing the ingredients he bought with his mother into steaming dishes.
This also allowed the teammates to see Chen Qing's good cooking skills.
Chen Qing's cooking skills were unanimously agreed by everyone, and almost every dish produced by Chen Qing was wiped out.
What made Chen Qing laugh and cry was that he didn't expect that the tall and big Dzeko people actually liked to eat sour and sour sweet and sour tenderloin, and finally even the bottom of the plate was clean. If it weren't for the people being embarrassed, I guess the Bosnians could lick the plate.
After this meal, the others were all the family members, and they suggested that there would be more such dinners, and Chen Qing served as the chef.
A bachelor like Dzeko has a thick-skinned face and directly thinks of renting a house nearby and coming to have a meal every day.
"Chinese food is high in oil, high in sugar, high in salt. Clark and I usually plan our diet at the advice of a nutritionist. I can recommend my personal chef to you." Chen Qing shrugged.
"Oh, no. Why are we athletes?" The Bosnia and Herzegovina striker, who received the reply, held his forehead and said to himself in annoyance.
"If it weren't for a teammate of a team, would you think you could eat the dishes I cook?" Teacher Chen rolled his eyes.
"Okay. After retirement, I will go to China." The Bosnia and Herzegovina striker made his ambition to go to China to become a foodie after retirement.
However, the Bosnia and Herzegovina striker is only 22 years old, which is likely to happen more than ten years later.
From Wolfsburg to Gelsenkirchen to Schalke Stadium, it looks about 300 kilometers. It takes about 3 hours to take the club bus to E30 to E34.
In the 7th round of the league, the match between Wolfsburg and Schalke 04 will be held at Schalke 04's home court at Schalke 04 at 5 pm tomorrow.
Chen Qing and his teammates will go directly to Aoyu Schalke Stadium to adapt to the game venue, do some adaptive training, and adjust their status.
Only after these are finished will you stay in a hotel.
Originally, according to the plan, this kind of away game should have arrived two or three days in advance to adapt. However, the schedule of Wolfsburg has been too fast in recent times, and Schalke 04 itself also has UEFA Cup games to be held.
So Magath shortened the time to adapt to the venue to one day and specially squeezed out a day for the players to rest.
Now it seems that Magath's decision is pretty good. Everyone is in a high state, not as tired as they imagined. During the trip, everyone did not close their eyes and rest, but were still discussing the party last night.
"Chan, if you don't play football that day, you can change to a Michelin restaurant chef." Despite the lack of game, Grafitte still played around with the team. It was precisely because he did not play that the Brazilian striker had the best mental state, except for gauze wrapped around his forehead, which was a bit annoying.
"Okay, I'll open a Chinese restaurant in the future. You have to come here often." Chen Qing also responded to Grafit's words. Opening a Chinese restaurant is indeed a good idea, and Chen Qing has also thought about it in private. At present, it seems that hot pot restaurants may be the most suitable restaurant model to be promoted in Germany.
In other words, there are no business geniuses like Niger DeJong in Wolfsburg, otherwise most of them would have saved up a game and brought out the plan, and they would probably be able to do business together.
It was not until we arrived at Ao to Schalke Stadium that everyone ended the topic with unfinished satisfaction.
Because Schalke 04's original Garden Stadium was too old, after the team won the UEFA Cup for the first time in 1997, Schalke 04 decided to build a brand new multi-purpose sports field, which is the Aoyu Schalke Stadium.
From groundbreaking in 1998 to formally put into use on August 13, 2001, the new stadium cost 191 million euros, and the money was all derived from private investment.
Germans are really rich.
Think about Arsenal in the Premier League. In order to repair the stadium, he sells the captain every year. A famous coach, Wenger, was worried. God knows when and when, but he has become a "pedophile" without realizing it.
Let me whisper, because of Chen Qing's excellent performance in the Olympics, Teacher Wenger has quietly canceled the attention of Chen Qing. The reason is very simple, it is too expensive and can't afford it.
The topic returns to the Aoyu Schalke Stadium.
Schalke 04 paid such a high cost to build a stadium, so the naming rights were naturally sold.
In 2005, Schalke 04 announced that it would sell the naming rights for the stadium in the next 10 years to the well-known German brewery Fertings. The sale of this naming rights is expected to bring Schalke 04 an additional income of 4 million to 6 million euros per year.
So this stadium should now be called Feltings Stadium.
Because it is newly built, Fertings Stadium is naturally a modern stadium.
The court is equipped with a retractable Teflon-coated fiberglass top cover to avoid games from being disturbed by rain and snow.
At the same time, if necessary, the lawn on the court can be moved out within four hours to facilitate concerts or other large gatherings.
The Feltings Stadium can accommodate 61,500 spectators, and the reasonable channel diversion design allows fans to expose them within 5 minutes.
No wonder the UEFA management agency evaluated this multi-functional stadium for five-star rating and did not forget to give a rainbow fart. "The configuration of this stadium is far beyond the necessity, and the basic level may be defined as a six-star rating."
In addition to these top-end hardware facilities, Schalke 04 fans are also notoriously enthusiastic.
On March 20 last year, in the match against Stuttgart, more than 60,000 home fans cheered in unison at the moment the team scored a goal, making a 129 decibel wave.
This is the strongest verdict in the history of the Bundesliga.
Therefore, Schalke 04's home court is also the famous home court in the Bundesliga.
Schalke 04 was the third place in the Bundesliga last season and participated in the Champions League this season.
However, in the third lap of the Champions League in August, Schalke 04 was eliminated by Atletico Madrid 4:1 in two rounds.
Fortunately, the losers at this stage can still play in the UEFA Cup.
In the peripheral match of the third lap of the League Cup, Schalke 04 did not lose the chain this time, and eliminated the Greeks 5:2 in two rounds.
Like Wolfsburg, Schalke 04 also advanced to the group stage of the League Cup.
Because the schedule of the League Cup is the same. Schalke 04, like Wolfsburg, also played for a long time at a frequency of one game every three days.
Although the next round of the league will be a tough battle, the Wolfsburg players removed the vests and leggings that weighed several kilograms on their bodies...
It seems full of confidence.
