Chapter 17 Do You Really Like Your Life Now?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng found the phone number named Elias Dominique in the hotel room, and he dialed it without hesitation at all.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In fact, he doesn't know if the other party still remembers him, and he doesn't know where the other party is now or what he is doing.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He doesn't even know if the number is still valid.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But besides calling him, is there any other way?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;There was no suspense in the end. He called, but the person who answered the phone was not the Elias Dominique he remembered, but a female voice: "Who are you looking for?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng opened his mouth, and a string of fluent German came out, which surprised him - brother, how many languages ​​do you know!

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Uh, hello, I'm Chang Sheng, Chang. I'm looking for Elias Dominique. This is the phone number he left me six years ago. Can we find him..."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"I think so, sir. Because this is his home."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;At first, Chang Sheng thought that he could no longer find Elias Dominique, but now the situation has changed.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He was pleasantly surprised.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Really? That's great...so how can I get in touch with him?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"I'll give you his mobile phone number, and you can call it yourself, sir."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Okay, no problem, no problem." Chang Sheng stretched out his hand for a pen and paper while tilting his neck and clamping his phone. "Tell me, I remember."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Then the other party reported the phone number, Chang Sheng thanked him again and again, and then hung up.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Then he took the phone number he wrote down and looked at it for a while. Just decided to call.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;※※※

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Elias Dominique has just finished his training. He is now working in a low-level German club. This club is little-known in international football. Forum influence is also very limited.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Burghausen Football Club.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But as a sports club, this club is quite famous in Germany, because they are one of the largest sports clubs in Germany, with more than 6,000 members. Take part in twenty-four different sports. Among them, the football club was founded in 1930. Before the mid-1990s, it wandered in the third-level German football league for a long time. It was not until the mid-1990s that it was promoted to the third-season German football league-German Southern League for the first time. Currently working hard to be promoted to the second division.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Elias Dominique was the physical coach of the Hamburg club a few years ago. But later, due to the change of high-level personnel in Hamburg, the administrator who liked him was kicked out, and Dominic, who was originally kind, was branded as a hostile faction. And then kicked out.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Then he moved to the city of Burghausen in Bavaria. With his experience in many clubs, he easily won the football team of this club. Work as a fitness coach.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But he was used to working as a fitness coach for a team in the Bundesliga, and suddenly coming to a third-level league team made him somewhat uncomfortable.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Although he is a relatively prudent person, the life in this small town is too ordinary, right?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;It seems impossible for this team to rise to the level of the Hamburg team in decades.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So, as a top student trained by the German Clone Sports Academy, is he going to spend the rest of his life in a small regional team?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Thirty-four-year-old Elias Dominique was a little bit unwilling.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;After finishing his work, Dominic changed his clothes in the coach's office, and prepared to drive his classic car back to his rented apartment.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Days passed by like this.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But such an ordinary day was brought to an abrupt end by a phone call today.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The cell phone in his pocket rang happily. It seemed to break the tranquility of this small town.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Elias Dominique picked it up and found that it was an unfamiliar phone number.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He hesitated for a while, but still picked it up.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;A familiar voice sounded over there: "Hi, Elias!"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He hesitated and said, "Excuse me..."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The voice over there seemed very sad: "You don't remember me? You really don't remember me? I am Chang, Chang Sheng!"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;※※※

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In fact, Chang Sheng didn't know whether his relationship with Dominic was really as good as he showed.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But at this time, I can only gamble. It's better to show intimacy than to speak plainly. I am asking for help now, so I have to lower my posture.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;To his delight, when the other party heard his name, his tone changed obviously, and his voice became a little higher.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;It seems that the relationship between the two is really good...

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Chang? Is it you? Is it really you? I thought you had disappeared..."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Are you kidding me? Ha! I called the number you left me. Turns out you're not home. Where are you now?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;There was a little silence over there.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Then said: "Burghausen."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Uh, where is that?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"An ordinary city in Bavaria."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"But I remember you were in Hamburg?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;There was silence again, and then a voice said: "Well, I left Hamburg."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"What level of league is Burghausen in?" Chang Sheng asked.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"The third level in Germany."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng was overjoyed.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;This team is not well-known, and the level is still so low. I should be able to poach Elias Dominique.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So he decided to get straight to the point. In fact, he didn't have much time to waste now.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"I remember that your ability is completely fine, why did you go to Burghausen? I happen to have a job opportunity, are you interested?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;※※※

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Elias Dominique remembered that he didn't even ask Chang Sheng where he is now.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;To be honest, he felt that even if Chang Sheng had a job opportunity, he might not be at the level of Hamburg.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Because he knows Chang Sheng very well.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;When they met in Hamburg, he was already the physical coach of the first team. And Chang Cai is an ordinary coach of the Hamburg youth team.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang stayed in Hamburg for a year before leaving, and the two never contacted again.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But he feels that Chang Sheng should also be a coach in a certain club's echelon now. His job opportunity will not be the echelon coach, right?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"What kind of job opportunity, I can only be a physical coach, Chang."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;The implication is that if you ask me to be the coach of the youth team, I will not be able to do this job.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng laughed on the phone: "I just want you to be a physical coach, Elias!"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Huh?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am the head coach of Valencia now."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Dominique didn't respond: "Which Valencia?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Which other Valencia. Elias?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Uh... are you the head coach of the Spanish Valencia football team?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Yes!"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Valencia, who has reached the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Yes!"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Valencia, who was defeated by Bayern Munich in the Champions League final last season?"

&np; The pre-training camp is about to start, but I don't have a physical coach yet..."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"But I don't know Spanish, Chang."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Elias Dominique hesitated.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;To be honest, there is definitely no future for staying in the Burghausen team.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But if he was to leave his hometown and go to Spain, he really doubted whether he could adapt to life there. Because he doesn't understand the language, and the habits of the Spaniards are completely different from those of the Germans.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He had only worked abroad once before, and that was to Heerenveen in the Netherlands. But the Netherlands is close to Germany, and the customs are very similar to Germany. The most important thing is that German is the lingua franca in the Netherlands, so language is not a problem at all.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Language is not a problem, life is not a problem.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But Spain...

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Elias Dominique is a cautious person, and he instinctively resists this kind of risky behavior.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;※※※

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Language is not a problem. Elias. Find you a language teacher, you can learn slowly. And football is the lingua franca, nothing to worry about..."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng persuaded.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But Elias Dominique over there frowned more and more.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"I may... I'm afraid... I can't go..." He said with difficulty.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Huh, why?" Chang Sheng felt very strange.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;At first, he thought he could easily recruit Elias Dominique. After all, Dominique's team is a very unknown low-level league team. Facing the temptation of Valencia, how many people can withstand it?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;But Elias Dominique resisted.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So Chang Sheng was particularly surprised.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"I'm sorry. I know your kindness, Chang. But I think... I prefer this kind of stable and ordinary life now..."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;When I said this, even Dominic himself didn't believe it.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Although Chang Sheng didn't understand Dominic's character, he intuitively felt that things were not as simple as Dominic said.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Because when he said that he left the level of Hamburg and Burghausen, his tone was low, which showed that he was not in a high mood.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Do you really like the life you're living now?" So he asked directly.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Uh, I guess so, often..."

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng felt that Elias Dominique was more and more strange. But he didn't dare to ask too much. After all, he didn't know much about Dominic. What if he said more about his mistakes?

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;It will take time for Dominic to accept his new personality.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Now that the two of them haven't even seen each other, it's right for the other party to have any doubts.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So Chang Sheng had no choice but to stop persuading and ask Elias Dominique for help.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Okay, Elias. You think about it first. But I have something urgent here, can I ask you for a favor?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;When it comes to helping Dominic very enthusiastically, he swept away his low tone before. This made Chang Sheng more and more convinced of his judgment on Dominic.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng told Dominic about his situation. To his surprise, Dominic agreed without any hesitation this time.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Let Chang Sheng fax him a copy of the team's physical test report for the next day, and then he can formulate a physical training plan based on the results.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;However, he also made it clear to Chang Sheng that he was not at the scene after all and could not learn more about the situation, so this physical training plan is only made based on the physical examination report, and the effect is not guaranteed It's great, just let Chang Sheng cope with this stage, and when he finds a real physical coach, this problem should be solved.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng is also very satisfied with this. Indeed, as long as the physical training part of the pre-season training can be carried out normally, he still has time to find a physical coach.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;So thank you again and again, and agreed on a time to email him the physical fitness test report tomorrow, then hung up the phone.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;※※※

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Elias Dominique also hung up the phone.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Then he stood in front of his classic car, turned his head and looked at the low and dilapidated training base behind him.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Burghausen Sports Club is a large comprehensive sports club, and football is definitely not the most important.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;In this club, I am afraid that he will never get any attention.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Chang Sheng's words echoed in his ears.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Do you really like the life you're living right now?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;"Do I really like the life I'm living right now?"

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;Dominique murmured to himself.

&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;&nbp;He raised his head, his eyes were a little confused, and there was no answer. . .
