Some people say that German football is steel, discipline, and a precision-operated machine.
But in the eyes of Noah Adler, German football is the smell of grass in the summer training ground, the laughter in the locker room, everyone singing with their arms around each other after winning a game, and a group of young people running desperately towards the same goal.
In 1999, Michael Ballack came to Bayer Leverkusen.
Noah originally only wanted to play football quietly when he grew up in his youth training camp, but he met a midfielder who always loved to rush forward and scored goals more actively than anyone else.
"Are you pressing me again?"
"Yeah."
"What to do next?"
"Isn't there still you?"
…
Later, they walked from Leverkusen to Bayern together, put on the white jersey of the German national team together, and rewrote those regrettable histories together.
Some people are responsible for charging, and some are responsible for supporting the bottom.
Someone is responsible for igniting the game, and someone is responsible for keeping the team moving forward.
They are each other's most trusted partners and are also the most dazzling golden midfielders in German football.
This is a story about football, friendship, growth and glory.
It's also a legend that started in Leverkusen and ended up on top of the world.

This is an article that I was thinking about after watching the German team's knockout match. I wrote out the text first while lying in the hospital.
Cp: Ballack, give Ba Xiong an organizing midfielder and let him fly forward bravely🥹
Purpose: Bravely pursue dreams
