Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 3 Tryout Email
Wolfsburg, 479 kilometers away from Munich, is a typical industrial city.

Near the Volkswagen Arena.

"The group's sales in China in recent years have only grown by single-digit percentage points annually. So in order to reverse the decline in sales, we want to use football to reverse the situation."

Volkswagen Group's European director Fisher looked solemn.

In fact, he also knew that it was a fantasy to want to change the entire automobile sales situation in China through football.

But no way.

The group has used all the tricks it could, including sponsoring the recently popular "Running Man", launching new models to capture new markets, and spending a lot of money on promotion.

But the final effect was minimal and had basically no impact on regional sales.

So starting with football was a desperate measure, but there was no other way.

"This is a key part of our strategy in the Asian market, so I hope you can find a good player, preferably one who can play and perform in key games."

Fisher blew out a smoke ring.

The bald, middle-aged man opposite him was Tim Schumacher, Wolfsburg's general manager. He said with embarrassment, "Sir, you also know that Chinese players have limited abilities and want to reach your standards."

"That's what you should consider. All I want is a Chinese player!"

Fisher is tough.

Isn’t that what a leader does? He puts pressure on others and he puts pressure on others.

"Ok."

Tim Schumacher nodded and accepted the work arrangement.

When he sent the request to the recruitment department, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the recruitment department.

Things are different now. We no longer have players with decent abilities like Yang Chen, Shao Jiayi and Hao Junmin.

Nowadays, excellence and brilliance are not synonymous with Chinese players at all.

Where can they find it?
"Are all the Volkswagen Group fools? If they sign a Chinese player and don't let him play, they will definitely be hurt in the end."

After a staff member set up the information, he began to search for the corresponding players in the Chinese Super League.

But when his eyes were almost sore from watching, he heard a colleague suddenly exclaim, "Hey, Pete, look, is this a Chinese player? He's currently on Bayern's second team and made appearances in the regional league last season. I think he meets the boss's standards!"

Upon hearing this, Pete jumped up and hurried over to take a look.

The data is good, the appearance is good, and the popularity is good. It seems to be really good.

I didn't expect that just when I was about to doze off, someone brought me a pillow.

"I just don't know if his ability can support him in playing in the league, German Cup and Europa League. Anyway, he should be better than the players found in the Chinese Super League. At least there is no problem with language."

Pete's expression flickered, but he finally verified the authenticity of Qin Ming's information and contacted the head of the recruitment department.

He is just an employee and cannot make the final decision.

Let the leaders worry about it.

Munich three days later.

Dear Mr. Qin Ming, we have received your relevant information. After discussion with the recruitment department and coaching team, we would like to invite you to the VFL Center, In Den Allerwiesen Street, Wolfsburg, at 3:30 pm on July 28th for a trial.

Looking at the reply on the screen, Qin Ming clenched his fist slightly and waved it in the air.

It was just as he expected.

Volkswagen has long wanted to introduce a Chinese player to promote its products.

If it weren't for me, history would have followed the trajectory, with Zhang Xizhe joining Wolfsburg. But now he has taken Zhang Xizhe's place?

No, the dust hasn't settled yet, and he hasn't passed the tryout. It's not a good thing to be happy too early.

Qin Ming saw that there were only three days left before the tryout, so he could get familiar with his new body.

That’s right, after the template transformation, he has acquired remarkable talent.

A few days ago, due to the lack of a specific training plan, he also specifically analyzed Ronaldinho's strengths.

First and foremost, it is difficult to practice something as intangible as a sense of the ball. However, Cruyff once said that practicing dribbling in a chaotic living room can effectively improve your touch.

So Qin Ming practiced in the dormitory when he had nothing to do, and the results were unexpectedly good.

Secondly, his way of handling the ball in the core area is extremely imaginative and has a three-dimensional sense of space. You must know that this is a unique talent in the history of football. Both are a manifestation of the ultimate technology on the football field.

So Qin Ming used different methods to juggle the ball to enhance his sensitivity to three-dimensional space.

The rest is basic training such as stopping the ball, shooting, and passing.

Anyway, just keep training like this for now, and when you join a professional team, you can develop a more detailed and scientific training plan.

Not far from the second team dormitory building is the office of the Bayern head coach.

"I changed Philip from a full-back to a defensive midfielder, which in a sense helped the German team, and they won the World Cup this year. Doesn't this prove my ability?"

Guardiola held his head in frustration.

You should know that the famous football commentator Falk described this moment as another Messi moment for Guardiola in his book "Bayern Insider".

Back then, Guardiola had a flash of inspiration and let Messi play as a false nine, creating a great striker and a great team.

Lahm's position change also had a profound impact on Bayern and German football.

Obviously everything is developing in a positive direction.

But in the summer transfer market that just opened, there were huge disagreements between Guardiola and Bayern's management.

Last season, he wanted Neymar, but the club rejected his transfer plan on the grounds that the Brazilian could not adapt to Germany.

This season, he wanted Suarez, but the club again rejected his transfer plan on the grounds that the Uruguayan likes to bite.

Okay, Suarez likes to bite people, which is indeed not a good habit.

But why would the club swap Toni Kroos for Xabi Alonso?

He didn't understand.

Recently, he has been looking for the club's technical manager, Reschke, who is responsible for lineup planning, to communicate, but he has never been able to get the response he wants.

Even the young man he had met before was forgotten by him because of his busy schedule.

Three days later, the young man boarded a high-speed train to Wolfsburg.

Looking at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window, Qin Ming suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of reality. The time he had traveled through was very short, so short that he had not yet adapted to the new world.

But as he embarked on the journey alone, he finally got rid of the strong sense of nothingness.

The six-hour drive was torture.

By the time Qin Ming arrived in Wolfsburg, the soft glow of the setting sun was already looming.

He arrived at the hotel that the club had helped to book, which was near the VFL Center in Wolfsburg. After having a meal and washing up, he went to bed early, trying to be in the best condition for the trial.
