Chapter 39 Allianz Arena! I Will Definitely Be Back!

After unlocking new knowledge, Josephine became more clingy. Even when Su Luo was making breakfast, she kept hugging his waist.

"I'll buy you a car," Josephine suddenly suggested during breakfast.

"Huh? Aren't you still in high school? Turns out you're quite the little rich girl," Su Luo teased.

"I don't usually spend much, and I save what I earn from commercials. I just got an advertising contract from Valentino to be their autumn and winter series spokesperson. Hehe, my income is no worse than yours now."

Top supermodels in the world earn about the same annual income as superstars like Neymar and Mbappe. Josephine landing a Valentino contract was akin to being a first-team player in a top league. Su Luo didn't expect this—maybe it was the butterfly effect he brought. In her previous life, Josephine didn't become popular until 2014. Now she was already a rising star in the supermodel world!

"So, you don't want to send me off?" Su Luo pretended to be angry.

Seeing his misunderstanding, Josephine quickly grabbed Su Luo's hand. "No, I just want you to move here. But I often travel abroad for fashion weeks, so I can't promise to send you off every day. Of course, I'll send you off whenever I'm here."

Su Luo thought it over. It seemed he hadn't returned to his apartment recently and was staying with her every day. Plus, it was time to buy a car. Who among professional players didn't own a supercar?

Of course, there was no need for Su Luo to rely on Josephine's money. It had been a full month since he joined the first team. His goal bonuses alone were 30,000 euros, plus appearance fees, being named in the best team, and winning bonuses. He had already earned 100,000 euros after tax in one month. Additionally, some sports brand sponsors had contacted him. If he had an agent, he could have already signed multiple endorsement contracts, adding another significant sum to his income.

Su Luo had sent 20,000 euros to his parents, and with his previous youth training earnings, he had nearly 90,000 euros in savings. That was enough to buy a Porsche 911 outright. Shortly after arriving in Germany, scout Daniel had arranged for Su Luo to get a driver's license. Balancing high school classes, driving practice, and youth team training had been tough, but before being promoted to the first team, Su Luo had already obtained a German driver's license.

"Let's go, take me to the car dealership today!"

"Huh? So fast?"

Su Luo always acted decisively. Taking advantage of the day off, he completed the purchase of a new car that same day. He opted for a Porsche 718 Boxster S, a convertible, for 60,000 euros.

"In the future, you can drive this car to see me off," he said.

Josephine's mini was delivered to their apartment's parking lot by the dealership staff, and the two went for a drive in the new car. Su Luo lounged in the passenger seat, wearing sunglasses, enjoying the breeze. Josephine drove, still in a daze.

"Why am I always the driver? But... I'm quite happy now."

She glanced at Su Luo and smiled sweetly.

After Union Berlin navigated a "devil schedule" against strong teams like Cologne, Carlsruhe, and Kaiserslautern, their five consecutive league victories continued their Bundesliga journey. The Bundesliga 2 has 18 teams, with 17 rounds in each half of the season. Union Berlin had played 15 rounds in the first half. With 3 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses in the first 10 rounds, they were 14th with 11 points. After 15 rounds, with 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses, they climbed to 4th place in the standings, just 6 points behind Cologne at the top.

In the 16th round, Union Berlin beat Aalen 3:1 at home. In the 17th round, they narrowly defeated 1860 Munich 2:1 away. Su Luo played steadily in both games, utilizing Ronaldinho and Haaland's possession skills, coupled with his goal-scoring ability, to secure 6 valuable points.

Against Aalen, Su Luo scored twice in the second half to secure a win after a 1:1 draw in the first half. Against 1860 Munich, he scored with a long shot in the first half, then netted the winning goal in the final minutes using Da Luo's possession.

Union Berlin's seven consecutive victories were noteworthy. Before 1860 Munich moved their home ground in 2017, they played at the Allianz Arena—the home of Bayern Munich. Su Luo thought he would be more excited playing at the Allianz Arena, but the game's level remained typical of the Bundesliga 2.

Su Luo's first trip to Allianz ended quickly. As he sat on the bus, looking at the huge "rubber boat" at the Allianz Arena, he silently recited Big Big Wolf's famous line: "I will definitely be back!"

After playing 1860 Munich, the team faced a third-round cup match, marking the end of the first half of Su Luo's first professional season and the start of a one-and-a-half-month winter break. Their next opponent in the cup was none other than their defeated rival, Kaiserslautern. The vengeful Kaiserslautern was ready to eliminate Union Berlin from the cup.

Su Luo's "midterm exam" promised to be a tough battle. To face Bundesliga teams and play against giants like Bayern and Dortmund, Union Berlin had to win this game—no losses allowed!
