Since Daniel had other work to do,
He threw himself in the training base building and left in a hurry.
When she came to the house with Daniel, her parents had specially instructed her,
He asked the club to arrange cultural classes for him. He could not fall behind in his studies while playing football.
Not to mention getting into a university, he had to at least get a high school diploma.
Daniel agreed to these requests after consulting the club manager.
Due to the shortage of funds and manpower in Berlin United, Daniel not only had to be a scout, but he also had to act as Sullo's personal assistant.
She helped Su Luo find an apartment, helped Su Luo find a German tutor, and helped Su Luo get a local phone card.
He also had to help Su Luo contact the school.
For Sullo's sake, Daniel had not even gone to other places to inspect the players recently.
It made Su Luo feel a little embarrassed.
Did they have to do this for him?
Su Luo sat in the reception hall of the training base's office.
He felt like he had nothing to do.
It was said that the coach had taken the entire team to the neighboring city to play a training match.
The pre-season training had already begun, and the German Second Division would start at the end of August. The team needed to participate in more warm-up matches to recover.
The facilities of the Berlin United Training Base were relatively simple. The two-story office building was estimated to be nearly 100 years old, and some traces of World War II could be seen in some places.
There was only a fat auntie busy in front of the computer in the hall. Su Luo had just asked, but there was no wifi!
He could only sit on the sofa and look at the training ground outside the window.
It had to be said that the other facilities here were very simple, but the turf was clean and flat, professional natural turf. It was obvious that a lot of money had been spent to maintain it.
In the opposite direction of the training ground, a stadium could be seen in the distance.
"May I ask what's over there?" Su Luo asked in broken German.
"That's the Old Forest Management Stadium, our home ground.”
Oh?
Su Luo had nothing to do anyway, so she ran over and planned to visit the battlefield where she would fight in the future.
However, as he walked on the road, Sullo noticed that there were constantly pickup trucks carrying some construction materials towards the stadium.
There were also people on the roadside carrying shovels, pickaxes, and other tools, walking excitedly to the stadium.
The closer they got to the stadium, the more they could feel people gathering from all directions.
If they didn't have the tools, it would be as lively as a match day.
"What's going on?"
Su Luo came to the entrance of the stadium curiously and happened to see a bald fatty shouting loudly with a loudspeaker.
His voice was as loud as a bell. According to the words that Su Luo could understand,
He seemed to be directing these people to work?
"You, you too!"
Su Luo was stunned and pointed at her own nose."Me?"
What did the uncle say after that? Sullo couldn't understand a single word. He could only follow the bald fatty all the way to the inner part of the stadium with a dumbfounded expression.
The moment he walked into the stadium, Sullo saw a bustling scene.
People dressed differently waved the tools in their hands and shouted in unison as they busied themselves in the stands of the stadium!
Su Luo followed the fat uncle to the stands. Some of the steps and seats had been removed, and bricks and cement were needed to renovate the stands.
The fat uncle pointed at the pile of bricks beside him, indicating that he should hurry up and help.
Only then did Su Luo realize that the uncle seemed to have misunderstood something.
However, since the atmosphere had already reached this point, he might as well join the busy team and help move the bricks with the surrounding uncles and aunties.
Soon, the skilled workers had already stacked the bricks. He believed that it wouldn't be long before there was a brand new grandstand.
After a busy afternoon, the sun had already turned yellow.
The bald fat uncle picked up the loudspeaker and shouted a few slogans that he did not understand, causing the audience to cheer.
Everyone was as excited as if they had scored a goal.
Before leaving, the uncle even handed Su Luo a bottle of cold beer from the ice bucket and patted his shoulder with a silly smile.
Although Su Luo was very tired, in this busy working atmosphere, she could feel a certain positive energy!
He could not help but be more curious about this club.
It was obvious that the fans had volunteered to help out just now, and judging from their proficiency, it was not the first time they had renovated the stadium.
In the current era of gold yuan football, there were still professional teams that continued in this way?
After a busy afternoon, he had just walked out of the Old Forest Management Stadium.
He saw Daniel looking for him.
After understanding the situation, Daniel, who had always been stern, laughed out loud.
"Uncle Hans dragged you to renovate the stadium. Hahahaha, you haven't officially signed a contract yet. He doesn't recognize you and thinks you're a fan.”
Then, after Daniel's explanation, Sullo finally understood what kind of club he had come to.
The story goes back to 1961, when the cold Berlin Wall divided Berlin into two.
From that day on, this team in East Germany had a deeper meaning!
This was a team that belonged to the workers!
It represented the cry, struggle, and unity of the working class!
The team also changed its name from Oberschneid to Berlin United.
For more than 40 years, this team was simply an outlier in the world of football.
They refused any form of capital and advertising sponsorship.
The team relied entirely on the fans to survive. This was a club that belonged to the proles!
Unfortunately, the huge financial pressure had forced the Berlin Union into a corner several times.
In 2008, the stadium was dilapidated, and more than 2300 fans spontaneously organized a brick by brick to repair the stadium. Only six of them were real construction workers. The rest were teachers, nurses, and salesmen…
They relied on 140,000 hours of work to complete this feat!
This year, in order to meet the requirements of the German Second Division, the fans had once again organized themselves to renovate the stands!
It just so happened that Sullo had encountered this historic moment.
This wasn't what moved Sullo the most.
In 2004, the United Berlin was on the verge of bankruptcy. They could not even afford the 1.46 million euros in cash reserves to qualify for the regional league!
In this desperate situation, the fans spontaneously organized the "United Blood Transfusion for Berlin" event.
That's right, it was literally a blood transfusion!
Tens of thousands of fans came to the blood station to donate blood! Give all the income from selling blood to the club!
Coupled with the club's jersey and ticket revenue, the team was finally able to survive.
This was a genuine club built with the blood of the fans!
This was a grassroots team!
"In the home game, we will not play any entertainment, advertisements, or music. We can only hear the singing and shouting of the fans.”
"But we have the cheapest sausage in Germany, we have free beer on match days, and we have the cutest fans in the world.”
"Sullo, I hope that one day, your name will be heard in the stands of the Old Forest Management Stadium!”
"Yes, Daniel." Sullo turned around and looked at the seemingly simple stadium.
"I believe it will happen soon."
