Chapter 51
Xiaomi doesn't have any high requirements for where to live, as long as it doesn't affect his training and rest.
The villa has a tall automatic gate, and there is a small stadium after entering.
The house is a three-story villa with split levels, which is slightly larger than the one in The Hague.
The interior is full of floor-to-ceiling windows, the color is mainly white, and the floor is made of natural wood.
It looks very bright and spacious. The first floor is mainly the living room, kitchen and a small entertainment room.
Outside the entertainment room is the back garden with a small swimming pool.
There are three rooms on the second floor, a study, and two bedrooms, one large and one small.
The third floor is a large suite, and on the other side is a leisure terrace.
This house has no basement, so there is no independent fitness space.
This is the only thing that makes Xiaomi dissatisfied, but it is not a big problem. The entertainment room can be converted into a fitness room.
Sven saw him finish the tour and asked:
"There is another one, which is bigger than this one. Let's go there and take a look."
Xiaomi asked immediately after hearing that it was bigger than this one.
"Is there any fitness equipment there?"
"No, but the swimming pool is indoors and heated."
Xiaomi thought for a moment,"No need to look, this is fine, I prefer the terrace upstairs"
"You can still go and have a look, it's about 100 square meters bigger than here."
Sven still advised, he hoped Xiaomi could have a good rest so that he could perform better on the court.
"Really, it's fine here."
Seeing Xiaomi's insistence, Sven didn't say much and handed them the key directly. The key card on it was the password for entering the house.
The three of them left the house and got in the car to go to the hotel.
"Xiaomi, I will be waiting for you at the club the day after tomorrow. You need to have a physical examination, sign a formal contract after the physical examination, and take player photos."
"OK, what time is it?"
"10 am, the physical examination takes about 3 hours"
"No problem, I'll be there on time"
"Don't worry about the school. I've asked someone to inquire about it."
"Please, Mr. Millingstat."
"You can still be the same as them, just call me Sven"
"Okay, Uncle Sven!"
"Haha, I like this name."
During the conversation, the car had already arrived at the hotel. Xiaomi went back to the room to rest, and Karami went to see Sven off.
Back in the room, Xiaomi took out a pen and paper and made a list of the supplies that needed to be purchased.
Karami came back soon and saw that he looked tired.
"You go back to your room and have some rest. We'll go get a phone card after dinner."
"OK, I'll go back first and have someone bring the luggage here."
After seeing Karami off, Xiaomi wrote down the things he wanted to buy and flipped through the hotel guide.
He saw there was a fitness center here, so he changed into sportswear and went to work out.
After two hours of exercise, he returned to the room feeling relaxed.
That night, Karami took him to get a phone card and went straight to the mall.
"You are wearing sports and casual clothes, no shirts, so you need to dress more formally when signing the contract. This is basic etiquette.
In addition to purchasing daily necessities, we also purchase formal clothes for you."
"Formal wear? I've never worn it before. It looks too old-fashioned."
Xiaomi felt a little overwhelmed when he thought of the old-fashioned formal wear.
Karami was amused by his words and pulled him into the men's clothing store without saying anything.
After walking around for a long time, Xiaomi felt more tired than training and didn't want to leave.
"You kid, why aren't you moving yet? Come on, buy some and go eat."
"Why do you love shopping so much? My legs are sore."
"It's not that I love shopping, it's that the list you made is too long."
Xiaomi regretted it immediately when she heard him say that.
"It doesn't matter if I can't buy it, I have all the important ones, I can buy the rest later"
"That won't work. Today's work must be done today. Don't procrastinate."
Xiaomi knew that he couldn't not buy it even if he didn't want to. Karami was very rigid and serious when doing things, a typical German style.
An hour later, the two finally sat in the restaurant.
The next day, after waking up, they went straight to the new house to start decorating.
Xiaomi will live here for a long time in the future, so of course he has to tidy it up carefully, so that it feels like home.
Time passed quickly in the busyness, and the second day in Dortmund was over unknowingly.
Xiaomi's jet lag finally returned to normal. When he got up in the morning, Karami directly stopped him from thinking about training.
"You have a physical examination today, so you are not fit for training. After breakfast, we will leave and visit the club first."
"Well, you can always come back in the evening."
"Of course, I'll go with you."
After breakfast, the two set off for Dortmund's training base.
They arrived before 9 o'clock, and after Karami registered, the two successfully entered the training base.
Xiaomi was immediately attracted by the training ground here. The training grounds for the first team and the youth training are adjacent to each other.
There are five natural courts and two artificial courts, which can not only provide training for players from all echelons, but also venues for youth training teams to compete.
The courts were being sprayed with water for maintenance, and the two of them visited the surroundings.
Gym, automatic ball feeder, and many high-tech training equipment that Xiaomi had not seen in The Hague.
After a circle, it was almost time to meet Sven.
Dortmund's office building is a black building, and most of the club's staff work here.
The two passed the security check and went straight to Sven's office.
Sven's office is large, but the layout is simple.
When they arrived, Sven was talking on the phone, and the video of the game was playing on the projector.
Sven hung up the phone, saw the two people at the door, and immediately stood up to greet them.
"Sorry, I have something to do when I get back."
"It's okay, we're early."
"This is your medical examination report. Go for the examination first, then go to the logistics department to get your clothes...."
Sven explained to Karami one by one, and Xiaomi was overwhelmed listening to him.
Fortunately, Karami can cooperate with many things. It would be better to let him practice for two more hours to let him remember so many tedious things.
Soon Xiaomi and Karami left Sven's office, went for a physical examination, tested their physical condition, tried on the team uniforms, and took player photos. After taking the photos, the staff asked him to register a social account, so that he could post some relevant dynamics on the account in the future.
When they finished the process, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
In the middle, they just had a simple meal. What made Xiaomi most frustrated was taking pictures.
He always thought it was just a photo similar to an ID photo, but the photographer took a full hour to take pictures.
Sometimes he asked him to hold the ball, and sometimes he asked him to pose for kicking the ball. He couldn't smile happily enough.
Xiaomi was most afraid of taking pictures. Every time he took a photo, his face would be stiff, and his mouth would even be a little crooked. At
3:30 in the afternoon, they came to a large conference room.
Xiaomi will sign the first formal contract of the adult team here in a while.
After signing this contract, he will truly become a professional league player.
