21 The Creator of Great Causes (Part 1)

Jucho, 33 years old, is the last footballer in East Germany. He is a hero of Dresden's double championship. After the two Germans were unified, they turned to Turkey's Galatasaray team for a season. Then they returned to Germany and joined Jena and Hannover 96. This season, he was summoned by Havna to Chemnitz.

But unexpectedly, Chemnitz's journey is likely to become the darkest season of his career.

When he stood at the door of Yang Cheng's office, he raised his hand and wanted to knock on the door, but his hand stayed in the air and couldn't knock it for a long time.

He is already 33 years old, but the head coach sitting inside is only 23 years old, 10 years younger than him. Sometimes he feels dissatisfied. He has been playing football for so many years, but in the end he is not as good as a fledgling brat?

But when he thought of Yang Cheng's courage when he was in the training ground, he hesitated again.

He has wandered around many teams, experienced many head coaches, and witnessed some professional players' troubles, so he knew that in history, he had no good endings when he fought against the head coach, especially in East Germany.

Thinking of this, he knocked on the door.

He is 33 years old and mature, and he begins to know how to look back and forth in everything, without doing anything recklessly like a young man.

Yang Cheng sat in the office waiting for him. When he saw Ju Qiao coming in, he immediately signaled him to sit down in front of him.

"Last season in the Bundesliga, you scored 16 goals in total, but so far this season, you have scored 6..." Yang Cheng raised a file in his hand, said while looking, then put it down, staring at Ju Qiao, "Can you tell me, what's going on? Just like a friend, let's talk!"

Ju Qiao shrugged, he really had nothing to say.

As a striker, he couldn't score a goal, and he felt he couldn't defend himself.

"I am a head coach. When I was in the second team, I often paid attention to the training of the first team. I know that you have the habit of practicing on your own every day after the training. Even you will return to the club to train during the holidays to maintain your condition. I'm right?"

Ju Qiao was a little surprised because he really didn't expect that Yang Cheng would know the efforts he had made.

"I don't think the responsibility is on the striker, but it may be the midfielder. I have heard of a very interesting data, that is, when a team can create 15 good scoring opportunities in a game, no matter how bad the shooter is, he can score goals; but when a team can only create a few opportunities in a game, no matter how top scorer is, he can do nothing."

Yang Cheng's words moved Ju Qiao a little. He originally thought that Yang Cheng was coming to cause trouble for him. After all, he was the beloved player of his ex-Hefner, and it is well known that Yang Cheng and Hefner are inconsistent, but unexpectedly, Yang Cheng took the initiative to defend him.

"I have reason to believe that you are an excellent professional player, and I also know very clearly that many East German players in the team are based on you. I asked you to come today, just want to tell you that I hope you can show your professional spirit and lead the team well!"

Jucho is the captain of the team appointed by Hefner himself. Yang Cheng doesn't want to replace him. After all, he has a considerable influence in the East German region, especially in the hearts of many East German players in the team.

After looking at Yang Cheng seriously, Ju Qiao nodded and agreed, "I will do my best!" Then she seemed not willing to talk to Yang Cheng more, "If there is nothing else, I'll go out first!"

Yang Cheng nodded first, and Ju Qiao got up and was about to go out.

"By the way, Torsen, you should be 34 years old after the end of this season, right?" Yang Cheng asked suddenly.

Ju Qiao was stunned and stopped, but did not turn around, but just stood there quietly.

Yang Cheng stood up from his seat and walked around the desk. "I heard that you were teammates with Kirsten when you were in Dresden. What's the point? Now seeing Kirsten performing well in Leverkusen, what do you think?"

While talking, Yang Cheng sat down on the sofa in the office casually, looking very casual and sneering.

Juqiao still didn't look back, but his fists were clenched tightly and his veins were exposed.

He was the last footballer in East Germany, while Kirsten was the second to last. Both were top stars in East Germany. However, after the reunification of the two Germans, Kirsten went to Leverkusen, while Jucho went to Turkey, and since then he embarked on two completely different paths.

In Juqiao's heart, he always had a thorn, that is, many people doubted his ability and believed that the reason he was able to win the last season of the East German Footballer was because Kirsten left the team, so he was always unwilling to accept this because his goals scored far higher than Kirsten during his time in East Germany, and he always believed that he was no worse than anyone else.

Now that Yang Cheng is scolded in person, he is so angry that he is so angry.

"If it were me, I would definitely want to kill myself, because I never thought I would lose to anyone, but..." Yang Cheng said with a tsk. That look was so annoying. "It's a pity that time doesn't wait for me. Kirsten is now a striker in the Bundesliga. The Bundesliga footballer in 1993 was also very steady in the Bundesliga last season. It's very difficult to defeat him!"

"What do you want to say?" Ju Qiao asked in a deep voice. He was already very patient.

Yang Cheng smiled disconcertedly, "I just want to see if you still have the fighting spirit, do you want to do something, for example, like Kirsten, proving yourself, or you are just willing to be in the status quo and planning to waste a few more years and end up in a dull situation!"

Juqiao didn't speak, but he could see his body trembling.

"Do you think what I said to the reporter of the Free Press is just a fart? Do you think I will speak out for no reason? Don't be stupid, I'm not crazy, what I say is true, what I want and hope for!"

"Everyone thinks that we have been downgraded, and everyone thinks that it is impossible for us to relegate, but I just want to do this impossible, tell the whole world that it will not happen until the end!"

Yang Cheng stood up from the sofa, slowly walked to Ju Qiao's side, and patted his right shoulder heavily, as if he was an old friend.

"Everyone, whether it is a head coach or a player, always hopes to leave as many glorious deeds as possible in his career as possible and leave as proud topics as possible for future memories. I am, and so are you!"

"The reason I told you this is that I just hope that you will go home tonight, lie in bed, close your eyes before going to bed, silently recall your career. What else have you had except the controversial East German footballer? No!"

"Now, Torsen, there is a very good opportunity to be placed in front of you, that is, to cooperate with me, lead Chemnits to relegation, and even to advance to the top level. I believe that as long as the team completes this great miracle and completes this impossible task this season, the whole world will be shocked."

"Many, many years later, when a group of new fans come in, the veteran fans will pat their chests and tell these rookies that in the 95/96 season, Chemnitz only scored 4 points in the first 21 rounds, but he won a complete victory with an impossible miracle in the last 13 rounds, not only succeeded in relegation, but even completed the great achievement of the League."

When he said this, Yang Cheng pointed at Ju Qiao, and then pointed at himself, "And you, me, and every player in the club are the creators of this great cause!"

"I believe this is the best opportunity to prove you! Only in this way can you not leave any regrets in your career!"

Yang Cheng patted Ju Qiao's shoulder a few times, signaling that he could think about it carefully, and then returned to his desk to sit down.

Juqiao stopped there for more than a minute before leaving.
