Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 7 I'm a Man with Dreams

After training, Shan Yongzhuo and Krupp left the training field together and returned to the players' dormitory.

As soon as I arrived at the club entrance, a petite, blonde, blue-eyed, baby-faced girl stood there.

"Yunia?"

Krupp shouted.

The girl was none other than Unia, the 17-year-old daughter of B team head coach Raf.

Yunia stood there, looking a little embarrassed, but she still walked over, staring intently at Shan Yongzhuo, and murmured shyly, "Congratulations on making it into the first team. I heard it from Kurt."

"Thank you, but I have to go back now." Shan Yongzhuo thanked him and left with Krupp.

Yunia was a little angry, and looked at Shan Yongzhuo's back with a hint of resentment, but she still left disappointed.

"Shan, I really don't understand, Yunia is so beautiful, aren't you even a little bit tempted?"

"No," Shan Yongzhuo said calmly, "I haven't thought about finding a girlfriend so soon. You know, I'm only eighteen..."

"My God, are you a caveman?" Krupp exclaimed dramatically.

"what happened?"

Krupp stopped and said loudly, "Single, you're eighteen years old and still don't have a girlfriend. You know, in Austria, that's not something to brag about; it's embarrassing. Are you still a boy?"

Shan Yongzhuo said with a dark face, "I just didn't intend to look for it..."

boy?

Fuck you, boy.

I, Shan Yongzhuo, am definitely not a boy. This body may not know, but before I transmigrated, I was a big name in clubs across major cities, okay?

Krupp ignored Shan Yongzhuo's explanation and put his arm around his shoulder. "Shan, it's okay. We can go to Martin. He's a local from Kaffinburg and knows a lot of young girls. If you don't like Yunia, you can ask Martin to introduce you to another beauty."

"No, I don't need that. I just want to train hard and get into the professional league as soon as possible. Maybe in a year I can go to a top club and play in one of the top five leagues. I'm a man with dreams."

"Okay, you're right, then I'll work harder too."

……

The two returned to the players' dormitory, but there was really nothing else to do.

On the one hand, they were both a bit homebodies, and on the other hand, they had no money and nowhere to go.

Both players were youth players, signed only semi-professional youth team contracts with very low salaries. Shan Yongzhuo's family had transferred a considerable amount of money to him, but he didn't want to squander his parents' money, so he could only stay in his dormitory playing games to pass the time.

Moreover, there's really not much to do in Kaffinburg.

The training continued as usual for the next few days.

Shan Yongzhuo has made great progress. Pflug positioned him as a center forward, so his positioning requirements are relatively simple. His positioning is basically to serve the purpose of scoring goals. All he needs to do is cooperate with his teammates to make himself better positioned and more likely to find scoring opportunities.

Krupp's situation is somewhat tragic; he is a key player in the central midfield.

In a professional team, the central midfield position is the most important. Whether it is the attacking midfielder responsible for organizing the attack or the defensive midfielder who serves as the first line of defense for the team, it is a very important position.

The midfielders, in particular, who are responsible for organizing the attack, are the center of the entire formation and require a higher level of running. For players in this position, awareness and tactical ability are often much more important than individual skills.

Despite being the B team's top talent, Kruppf will need a long time to adapt to his position in the first team.

Soon, the Austrian Bundesliga matchday arrived.

The Austrian Bundesliga consists of ten teams that play thirty-six rounds of matches. The league champion qualifies for the Champions League qualifying rounds, while the second and third place teams qualify for the UEFA Cup qualifying rounds.

However, it is said that the UEFA Cup will be reorganized next season and become the Europa League, with the Austrian Cup winner directly qualifying for the Europa League group stage.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Kaflenberg; Kaflenberg's only goal is to avoid relegation. The Austrian Bundesliga consists of 36 rounds, using a four-round-robin format, where each team will face another team four times per season.

Although only one team will be relegated, Kaffinburg is undoubtedly the favorite.

Last season, Kaffinburg, as the Austrian Bundesliga champions, finally managed to be promoted to the Austrian Bundesliga.

This has had no effect. Kaffinburg currently has 2 draws and 4 losses in 6 rounds, with only 2 points, placing them pitifully in last place.

If they continue this poor performance, Kaffinburg will undoubtedly be relegated.

At the end of August, Kaffinburg traveled to Mattersburg for an away game. The day before the match, head coach Pflug announced the squad list, which did not include Shan Yongzhuo.

Shan Yongzhuo felt a little regretful, but thinking about it, he felt it was normal.

The match was broadcast live, and Shan Yongzhuo watched it with Krupp in their dormitory.

Although it was an away game, Kaffinburg showed some fighting spirit after their holiday. Of course, this was also because Mattersburg was of average strength. In the previous six league rounds, Mattersburg only won two games and got six points.

However, Mattersburg was slightly stronger than Kafenberg, and at the end of the match, Kafenberg lost 2-1 to Mattersburg away from home.

Kaffinburg's performance was already poor enough, and this loss made Pflug very depressed.

If Kaffinburg is relegated at the end of the season, he may have a hard time keeping his job.

Of course, the task of avoiding relegation is not actually that difficult. Although Kafmburg has been losing, Altach, who are ranked ninth, are not much better off. After seven rounds, they still have 3 points, only one point ahead of Kafmburg.

As long as they can surpass Altach, they can avoid relegation. In Shan Yongzhuo's view, there is really no pressure.

In their next match, Kaffinburg will host Altach, a direct clash between relegation rivals. Pflug is taking this very seriously, and will be even more rigorous in training.

Fei Huaning was one minute late and was punished by having to run ten laps.

Li Jiena chuckled as he watched Fiwanin get punished, only to be punished by having to move a football himself.

Krupp made a small mistake during tactical training and was scolded for five minutes.

Everyone became very cautious after that.

Shan Yongzhuo didn't care. He was always the most hardworking, arriving earliest and leaving latest every day, and even during holidays he insisted on training.

This is the training fanatic of Kaffinburg; even the menopausal Pfluger couldn't find fault with him.

Although his tactical skills are still lacking and his overall strength hasn't improved much, this young man is really hardworking, and Pflug is becoming more and more satisfied with him.

"Perhaps I should encourage him and put him on the roster?"

And he did just that.

When Pfluge announced the squad list, many people looked at Shan Yongzhuo.

"Single, you're actually on the roster."

"But unfortunately, you'll be bored for 90 minutes."

"Our water dispenser is now in your hands to protect it."

Shan Yongzhuo didn't care about the teasing from his unscrupulous teammates; he was already very happy to be on the roster.

"I wish I could play. If I could play, I could score a goal, at least one goal."

"If we're a bit luckier, maybe we can score two, or even three?"

Shan Yongzhuo couldn't help but look forward to the match.
