Chapter 215 The second half of the season begins
There is a square called Magellan Square.
On one side of it, there is a dessert house.The owner of the dessert house is an old lady.She only sells one food item: gingerbread.
Years ago, she sold gingerbread cookies every Christmas.It was gingerbread in the shape of a little man.And only boys, not girls.
However, many food stores opened nearby, and the grandmother's cakes were not easy to sell.Because other stores have a lot of goods, there are all kinds of cakes and cakes, but the old lady only sells gingerbread.
A kind person asked her: "Why don't you sell other food?" The old lady was silent and just smiled.
In fact, this is a concern of the grandmother.
When she was young, she encountered the world war.She saved an officer.Later they fell in love.
However, she later discovered that the other party turned out to be an enemy spy.But she loved him, so she didn't say it.
At Christmas that year, the grandmother made a pair of gingerbread men, a boy and a girl.But when she showed it to the soldiers, she found that her sweetheart had been told a secret and wanted to flee.Before leaving, the grandmother gave him the girl gingerbread.
The soldier said: "I will definitely come back." In this way, decades have passed, and the soldier has not been seen again.The grandmother also used it as a ginger person to commemorate her lover.
The story is not over yet.
It is said that the grandmother still insists on selling gingerbread there.
She felt that if her sweetheart came back and didn't recognize her, she would also recognize her cake.
In this way, many years have passed.The old granny found that she could not live much longer.She is in a hurry.What if the sweetheart can't see her cake when she comes back?So she found a little girl who cared about her and accepted her as an apprentice.Teach her to make gingerbread.
Soon, the grandma passed away, and the little apprentice continued to make cakes there.When the little apprentice is old, he will teach the next apprentice...
In this way, it has been passed down, and "Megler's Gingerbread" has become a tradition.
Before Christmas, people who come to Magellan will sell a piece of gingerbread to eat.And the gingerbread is only in the shape of a boy.
Time flies like an arrow, times change...
After a long time, a traveler from afar came here.
He bought a piece of gingerbread, and took another piece out of his bag, a girl's version of gingerbread.The shape is actually very similar.Many locals gathered around to watch.
The passenger said: "This is a traditional snack in our small town. It is said that it was invented by a grandfather a long time ago. He is very strange and only makes gingerbread for women.
Moreover, it is said that it is for his lover to find him through the cake...
After Delia finished speaking, she looked at Shen Peng, "What do you think of this story?"
"It's a sweet love story."
At this time, there was a "beep" from the oven, and the gingerbread was ready.
Delia took out a piece, put it in her mouth, and took a bite, "Well, the taste is not bad, similar to the ones I bought in the store before!"
After finishing speaking, Delia picked up another piece and stretched it out in front of Shen Peng, "Come on, try it too!"
Shen Peng was about to reach out to pick it up.
Unexpectedly, Delia dodged her hand deftly, and then said, "Open your mouth, ah—"
"Uh..." Shen Peng was startled for a moment, then reacted, and opened his mouth as he said.
Delia also fed the gingerbread in Shen Peng's mouth. After Shen Peng took a bite, he asked expectantly, "How is it?"
"Well, not bad, it's delicious!" Shen Peng praised, the gingerbread is thin and crisp, and the taste is very good.
After feeding the piece in Delia's hand, she picked up another piece, "Then eat more!"
Shen Peng followed his advice and ate another mouthful.
……
In the evening, Shen Peng returned to the club - he could be at Lu Xueming's house during the day, but he still had to come back to sleep at night.
When he came back, he had a small bag in his hand, which was a bag of gingerbread that Delia gave him.
Originally, Shen Peng would go there again tomorrow, so there was no need to bring it back, but Delia said she wanted to give Shen Peng a bag, and Shen Peng had no choice but to accept this small gift.
……
The whole Christmas passed quickly. During this period, Shen Peng would go to Delia's house every day. Delia would teach him the knowledge about playing football. He also learned very quickly. In a few days, he had almost learned the basic knowledge.
And in the few days of Christmas, Shen Peng finally met Delia's mother, a busy person who was away all the year round. She looked very similar to Delia, the only difference was that one had yellow hair and the other had black hair.
After Christmas, he also went home, and then returned to Dortmund on January 1 to start preparing for the second half of the season.
In the second half of the season, their task is heavier. In addition to keeping the league in check, they also need to make a breakthrough in the Champions League. Although they may not be able to achieve the result of reaching the Champions League final a few seasons ago, they must at least reach the quarterfinals. However, according to the previous draw, their opponent in the first game of the Champions League is Juventus.
Speaking of it, Juventus actually qualified second in the group, which many people did not expect, but the group leader in this group is Atletico Madrid, who was runner-up in the UEFA Champions League last season, so it is normal for the two teams to be first and second.
After all the players returned to the club, Klopp also organized a physical examination. Most of the players maintained their physical fitness relatively well, which made Klopp very satisfied. As for the few players whose physical fitness declined, it was natural that they would sit on the bench for a few games first.
Before the official start of the league, they played four friendly matches as usual. Their opponents were Sion in the Swiss Football Super League; Steaua Bucharest in the Romanian Football League One; Utrecht in the Dutch First Division; and Dusseldorf in the German Second Division.
In these four games, in addition to getting the players back into shape, Klopp also experimented with some new lineups, but even so, they finished the game with a total of [-] goals scored in four games and one goal conceded.
The biggest contributors to the goals are Shen Peng and Mbappe. After a period of time, the cooperation between the two has become better and better. Among the fifteen goals, eleven goals were directly related to the two of them. The remaining four goals, except for a corner kick, the other three goals were also scored because of the involvement of the two of them.
Seeing this situation, Klopp was already so happy from ear to ear. He didn't know Mbappe's potential before. This is equivalent to buying two twin stars with 5000 million euros. One of them already has the potential of a superstar. Although the other is temporarily close to it, it is still young and has the potential to become a big star.
Soon, the team ushered in the first league game of the second half of the season.
