Chapter 767 - European Super Cup

The Champions League group draw ceremony will be followed by the UEFA Super Cup.

This year's UEFA Super Cup features Champions League winners Bayern Munich against League Cup winners Sevilla.

Manolo Gimenez's Sevilla side are at their best morale ever.

They won the UEFA Cup two years in a row, won the Copa del Rey last season, and fought Real Madrid and Barcelona until the end of the league. Named the best team in Europe last season, Bayern Munich won the UEFA Champions League and did not receive such an accolade, losing to Sevilla in the rankings.

It's a tough opponent to play against.

In last season's UEFA Super Cup, the Champions League champion "Dream II" Barcelona lost to this Sevilla team.

However, this year's situation is a little different.

Just before the UEFA Super Cup, Sevilla captain Puerta shocked European football when he died of a heart attack.

Bayern Munich has proposed to UEFA that they can postpone the UEFA Super Cup.

However, this construction was rejected by UEFA.

Therefore, in this year's European Super Cup, the mind of the whole Sevilla team may not be in the game at all.

"Still, we have to give it our all and play this game well, which is the greatest respect for our opponents." Speaking to his players before the game, head coach Magath said.

Before the start of the game, the whole Bayern Munich team and the whole Sevilla team observed a moment of silence in the center circle to pay tribute and mourn to the deceased Puerta.

All the players still have black veils wrapped around their arms.

After the start of the game, it was clear that the Sevilla players were out of form.

Like Bayern Munich, they had hoped for a Super Cup extension, but it was not approved.

All the players are not mentally ready to participate in the competition, and they are still reeling in the great grief of losing their teammates.

This game was played awkwardly.

He wanted to give it his all, but when he saw the look on the face of the player on the other side, he lost motivation.

He always felt that this was taking advantage of others.

He was also in favour of postponing the Super Cup, but UEFA disagreed, as he could not understand why UEFA would not agree to do so. If Sevilla and AEK Athens Champions League qualifiers can both be postponed until next Monday, why can't the Super Cup be postponed?

To put it bluntly, the UEFA Super Cup is just a warm-up match with a high standard, and it is better to decide who can participate in the Champions League qualifying round.

Although Magath said to give it his all and give respect to his opponents. But Glory just can't go all out.

In other matches, he will give his best to give his opponent respect. But the opponent at that time was an opponent who could also give it his all, not Sevilla FC now.

So when Rongguang scored in the 33rd minute of the game, he didn't even celebrate.

He easily broke through Sevilla's defence in front of the penalty area, bursting into the box and firing a low shot.

After the goal, he turned and ran back, without raising his arms and shouting, without running in celebration, without even a smile on his face.

His teammates didn't come up to hug him in celebration, only Lucas, who was next to him, patted him on the shoulder and ran back to half court with him.

In the second half, Lucas Sutton scored Bayern Munich's second goal with an assist from Ribery to seal the win.

In the end, Bayern Munich defeated Sevilla 2-0 in the Super Cup and won the UEFA Super Cup.

However, due to Puerta's death, after receiving the award, the whole Bayern Munich team did not celebrate, and they pulled Sevilla to hold the cup and take a group photo, indicating that the championship was dedicated to Puerta.

But when the group photo was taken, there was no smile on everyone's face.

This is perhaps the most special photo of the champion and runner-up......

After winning the UEFA Super Cup, the Bayern Munich squad returned to Munich to prepare for the fourth round of the league on September 2, away to Hamburg.

Prior to this, the summer transfer window in European football had also closed, and neither Barcelona nor Chelsea, nor Inter Milan nor Manchester United had succeeded in bringing glory from Barcelona.

After a summer, the glorious transfer scandal that made a lot of noise came to an end.

The glory remains with Bayern Munich.

Of course, the contract renewal negotiations between him and Bayern Munich have not been finalized, and the two sides are still slowly grinding.

Hoeness is not in a hurry, anyway, Glory still has three years of contract with the club.

He managed to drag it out.

Barcelona fans were the most disappointed, and until an hour before the transfer window closed, they were expecting FC Barcelona to make a last-minute move.

But until the closure was confirmed, there were no miracles.

They had been expecting a summer of glory, and the transfer didn't happen.

The media in Munich hailed Bayern's victory.

In the fourth round of the league that followed, Glory did not seem to be affected by this, and he scored a goal against Hamburg.

However, perhaps because they just went to Monaco to play a Super Cup, the players were a little tired, and the glory table was okay, but the whole team table was not good, so in the end they were forced to draw 1:1 away by Hamburg.

Ended the winning streak.

Eight goals have been scored in four league games, and there is nothing to say about Glory's personal table. So even though the future of glory at Bayern Munich was uncertain all summer, few people criticized him. Even Timo Bloom, who has always liked black glory, didn't say anything.

Next is the national team match day, and Rong Guang has still not been called up to the Chinese national team, so he has nothing to do with the national team match day.

Of course, he was not idle.

This time, instead of staying in Munich for training, I went to London, England, to attend Nike's business events held there.

He must also be present at this business event, and he can't push it off.

Because this is the launch of Nike's new sneakers, and this new sneaker is specially designed for Glory.

Nike claims that this is the lightest and fastest shoe in the world, and that it can increase the speed of players when worn on it, which is best suited for players with speed like Glory.

So Glory had to go to it.

For this reason, Rongguang also specially asked Magath for leave.

Magath didn't stop the glory either, and happily granted the leave.

After all, on the national team day, Bayern Munich's first-team lineup is completely untidy, and you have to train with the second-tier team to train, otherwise you can't practice at all.

It makes no difference whether the glory is there or not.

Moreover, on the previous national team match days, Rong Guang stayed in the team and trained very seriously and hard, which was regarded as his extra overtime. And this time he took leave to participate in business activities, which was a normal request, and in any way, there was no reason to refuse this request of glory.

At home, Rongguang and Debora are packing their luggage for London, but there is nothing to pack, one suitcase per person is enough, just some clothes. Rongguang is now a star, so naturally he can't dress very casually, and he is particular about what clothes to wear on what occasion.

Debora is in charge of these things.

After packing up her things, Debora felt a little tired, and she slowly sat down on the couch to rest.

Looking at Debola's slightly bulging belly, Rongguang thought of another thing, and he said to Debola: "Do you want to participate in tomorrow's event?" ”

"No, I'm not playing." Debora shook her head.

"One thing came to me, Debola."

"What?"

"You're ...... now. Your belly is getting bigger, and sooner or later you'll let others know you're pregnant, right? Then what do you want to say to reporters when the time comes? ”

Debora turned her head to look at Glory, which was a tricky question.

"So I thought...... Do we want to unify the caliber first, so that when the time comes, there will be no mistakes in the face of reporters, make up a reason, think of an excuse or something......" Rong Guang said.

His words were interrupted by Debola: "No need. Say what you have to say, tell the truth. ”

Rongguang was surprised: "This ...... Not quite right? ”

Debora stared at Rongguang: "Why is it not good?" Or do you think it's not good to say that you have a child before you are twenty-two years old? ”

Rongguang hurriedly shook his head: "No, I mean that you have children before you get married, it's not good for you to say it?" ”

"This is Europe, not China, Rong. Have you ever watched Four Weddings and a Funeral? Debora asked.

Glory shook his head. How can he have time to watch movies?

"The hero and heroine in that movie didn't get married in the end, but decided to live together for the rest of their lives." Debora said. "So, whether you get married or not has nothing to do with getting pregnant and having children."

Rong Guang opened his mouth, although he had lived in Brazil for more than a year and in Europe for more than four years, he still found this kind of thing difficult to imagine. How can a man and a woman, not husband and wife, live together all the time and conceive children together?

But since Debora thinks it's nothing...... Then he is naturally nothing.

※※※

Although Debora said that it didn't matter, when she went to London, she still wore a loose dress, and at first glance, it was impossible to see her slightly bulging belly.

It would be better if the reporters couldn't tell that she was pregnant until she gave birth to all the children.

When she appeared with Rong Guang at London's Heathrow Airport, she was photographed by reporters.

The photos appeared on the official websites of social networks and media outlets that night.

Everyone's focus is only on Glory and his agent in London, but no one really pays attention to Debola's belly......

No one thinks there's anything wrong with Debora's loose clothes, women, it's normal to wear any style of clothes.

Reporters did know that Rongguang and Debora had come to London to attend Nike's new sneaker launch.

But...... The human imagination is always limitless, especially journalists, who are the best at opening their minds.

You know, Chelsea are a team that is interested in glory......

So, who knows if they will come to private talks with Chelsea Football Club under the guise of this?
