When Philip Ram came to Spain from Germany alone, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. After all, for a 19-year-old boy, coming across the ocean to a new country and a new environment will inevitably lead to tension.

However, as a German, Philip Ram, who has lived alone in the dormitory of Bayern youth team since childhood, has no doubt about his ability to be independent. Before coming to Spain, he rejected his parents' proposal to send him to Mallorca. Instead, he flew from Munich to Madrid with his luggage alone, and then transferred to Mallorca.

When he walked out of the airport exit with his luggage, a middle-aged man received him and led him onto a bus.

"Philip Ram, hello, I am Mallorca's assistant coach Antonio Natal." The middle-aged man Natal smiled and said to him: "I am here to welcome you on behalf of Mallorca Club... Are you planning to live in the dormitory of Mallorca Club? Or hotels near the club are also OK. Many young first-team players live in the hotel. The club has buses to pick up and drop off players every day, but there are exceptions. Mathias lives in the dormitory of the club. He feels that it is closer to the training ground."

"I'll live in the dormitory." Ram said decisively after thinking about it. He knew Matthias. Matthias's performance in the Champions League final last season attracted many people's attention. The German Football Association, which is eager to seek talents, seemed to want him to join the German national team when he knew Matthias had German blood. Ram was also very clear about this situation.

So Ram is also quite interested in this player of the same year who may play side by side with him in the national team in the future.

After getting on the bus, Ram waited for a while but didn't see the driving. He couldn't help but look at Natal in confusion. Natal laughed: "Oh, there is another player who will arrive next flight. We also have an assistant coach to pick you up. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a few minutes."

Ram nodded in understanding; "So that's the case, no problem."

They didn't wait long. Although the airport in Mallorca is not big, there are still quite a few flights from all over the world every day. Ram took the flight from Madrid to Mallorca, and the next person took the flight from Barcelona to Mallorca...

"Introduction." Natal said to the little man with fair skin a little too fair-skinned: "I am Antonio Natal, Mallorca's assistant coach, this is Philip Ram, your next teammate... Philip, this is Andres Iniesta, the young player we just introduced from Barcelona, ​​and this is also our assistant coach, Vicente Ngonga."

Several people shook hands and greeted each other. In order to welcome the two nineteen-year-old young men, Natal and Ngong and two assistant coaches also took action personally. Although Jose knew that both of these two players were precocious, he still just in case. If one or two newly joined young players lost, it would be a big joke.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the bus driver started the car and slowly drove towards Mallorca's training base.

Among the two young players, Ram seemed more active. When the bus started, he kept asking Natal about some of the situation in the training base. Natal naturally knew everything. During the process of his speech, although Iniesta did not make a sound, he kept listening carefully. Finally, he suddenly said: "Mr. Natal, Mr. Ngongga, then I will live in the dormitory of the training base, after all, it is closer to the training ground."

"No problem." Natal laughed: "Now our training base dormitory has been well built, not worse than ordinary hotels... There are special people cleaning every day, and the cafeteria will make nutritious meals every day based on the recipes tailored for you. In single dormitories, you all have their own best spaces and will not be disturbed."

Ram laughed, then patted Iniesta on the shoulder: "We're going to live together now, Andres!"

"I'm glad it's like this, Philip." Iniesta replied with a smile.

Seeing the two young players starting to chat, Natal and Ngongga smiled at each other. Compared with these two, Ram was much more generous and well-educated, and his conversation was very good, while Iniesta was much more restrained and more introverted.

For players, there is no personality that is the best. What is the worst. Extraverted players may perform better on the court, but introverted players are also more calm on the court.

"My position is the right forward, of course I can play on the left, what about you?" Ram didn't know that he was going to play on the full-back at this time, so he asked Iniesta excitedly.

"I am in Barcelona as a midfielder or attacking midfielder." Iniesta replied, then looked at Ram with a strange expression: "But when the boss talked to me, he told him to play the right forward instead..."

Ram was stunned - it turned out that this was a competitor!

But he quickly touched his chin: "Well, the boss told me that he seemed to ask me to change to another position."

"That would be great." Iniesta said with a smile.

While talking, the bus had already arrived at the Mallorca training base - Mallorca is not a big island, and the airport is not particularly far from the city.

After driving into the training base, the bus stopped in front of a row of very well-built rooms. Ram and Iniesta jumped out of the bus with their luggage. Natal looked at it, and then waved to a young man who opened the door and looked out from a distance: "Damian, come here!"

Then Ram and Iniesta saw a big man running over. They both knew this person. It was Matthias who played in the Champions League final last season...

"Uncle Natal, why are you free to come here today?" Matthias asked with a smile on his face.

"You have two new roommates." Natal smiled slightly: "Philip Ram, a German, transferred from Bayern, Andres Iniesta, Espanyol, transferred from Barcelona... They will move into the players' dormitory next, you live here often and are very familiar with the surrounding situation. Next, you will introduce the environment here to them."

"Don't worry, I promise to do this properly." Matthias laughed and patted his chest, then enthusiastically reached out to the two smaller men who were shorter than him: "You are Ram? Then you must be Iniesta, haha, I am Matthias, I am the boss in this area. If anyone dares to bully you, just hold my name..."

Ram and Iniesta looked at Mathias with helpless expressions. It would be fine if he was like a gangster. The key is that he got his name wrong, shouted Iniesta at Ram, and shouted Ram at Iniesta...

Iniesta said weakly: "Actually, my name is Iniesta..."

Ram snorted: "I am Philip Ram!"

Matthias was stunned, and then scratched his head embarrassedly: "Sorry, I made a mistake, sorry, sorry... But we will have a lot of time to get familiar with it next, hehehe..."

Natal shrugged and said, "Damian, let's leave the next thing to you. They live in two rooms near your room. You can help them with the check-in procedures. Vicente and I have something to do, so we'll leave first."

"Then you go slowly... Goodbye Uncle Natal, goodbye Uncle Engonga." Matthias said attentively.

After seeing off the two assistant coaches, Matthias picked up Ram and Iniesta's luggage one by one, then kicked open his door, put down his luggage and said to Ram and Iniesta without changing his mood: "You guys sit for a while first, I'll go to the person in charge to ask for the keys to the two houses, and I'll be back later."

After saying this, Matthias ran out of the door like a whirlwind, leaving Ram and Iniesta looking at each other.

"What a rash guy." Ram muttered.

Iniesta nodded, then laughed: "But he is quite enthusiastic."

"Yes." Ram agreed with Iniesta's opinion, and then the two began to look at Mathias' room. It was a small room, but it also looked like more than 40 square meters. There were all bathrooms, desks, TVs and beds. Basically, the layout was similar to that of ordinary rooms in most hotels. Living in such a place would not feel like home, but it was quite comfortable.

"The environment is still good." Ram nodded after looking.

Iniesta also nodded. He was from the Barcelona youth team, while Ram was from the Bayern youth team. The youth training conditions of these two wealthy clubs were also quite good, but they were a little worse than the players' dormitories in Mallorca. Iniesta started playing football at the Barcelona Football School at the age of 12. At that time, six people were divided into bunks in one room. After the age of 14, he entered Barcelona's youth team at all levels. The youth team under the age of 15 was four people and one room. After entering the youth team under the age of 17, he only had two rooms. Ram's situation was similar.

Mallorca's players dormitory is a room for one person - of course, they are first-team members, so they are naturally better than those of youth team members. However, in terms of hardware facilities, Mallorca is no worse than these top giants. After Jose took office, he put in quite a few efforts in these aspects. After sitting for a while, Matthias ran back excitedly, holding two keys in his hand, and then handed them to each other: "Please, go and see your room. When the team is on holiday in the future, I will have a companion in the training base!"

Speaking of this, Matthias excitedly lifted their luggage and ran out again. Ram glanced at Iniesta, and then said, "I remember I should be living in Room 2?"

"Yes, I'm No. 3," Iniesta replied, then he looked down at the sign hanging on the key in his hand, then handed the key to Ram, took the key that Ram also handed over, and walked out the door side by side.

"Don't talk about this, so as not to be embarrassed by Matthias." Ram said as he walked.
