Chapter 759: New Recruits
Two days later, both Marseille and Bayern Munich announced Ribery's move to Bayern Munich.
FC Bayern Munich made the impromptu transfer as quickly as possible - no one had thought that Bayern Munich would buy Ribery because it was not necessary. Even Bayern Munich itself thinks so, but when Hoeness decided to go on a double insurance, Bayern Munich's action was also very high.
After playing for France in the European Championship qualifiers, Franck Ribery flew to Munich, Germany, to undergo a medical check-up, as well as attend the official signing ceremony and press conference.
At the press conference, Hoeness and Magath sat next to the young star with a scar on his face.
After announcing Ribery's arrival, it was time for reporters to ask questions.
A reporter from the Munich Zeitung stood up and asked Ribery: "May I ask Mr. Ribery, there are rumors in the market that you are here to compete with Rong, is there any pressure to compete with Rong?" ”
It was such a sharp question at first, but Ribery was not flustered or annoyed, he grinned. Because of the scars on his face, his smile looked even more terrifying.
"I'm not stressed."
He said.
Everyone was a little surprised - this kid was really rampant! Glory is now the number one player in Europe, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one player.
Ribery, this kid, is nothing more than a good player who has played a good game in Ligue 1 for a season and a half, and he has such a big mouth!
Surprised, the reporters' eyes lit up – they didn't mind creating gimmicks and sensational news or anything.
In an instant, many reporters came up with the headline: "Newcomers are not afraid of glory and speak up for challenges!" ”
"Ribery provokes the position of Rong!"
"One mountain can't tolerate two tigers? Rong and Ribery are not compatible? ”
……
But then Ribery said, "Because I'm not here to compete with Rong at all." ”
The reporters who were still dreaming before woke up from their dreams at this time.
"Rong was the best player in Europe last season, and he set a record in the Champions League, I don't think anyone will break it...... So I'm not here to compete with people like that...... I have great respect and admiration for Rong's watch...... In fact, when I heard that Bayern Munich was interested in me, I almost didn't hesitate to say yes, because I could finally play alongside such an amazing player as Jung! Ribery looked like a fan.
The crowd was dumbfounded—they were still waiting to see the show, but Ribery had no hostility to Glory......
Hoeness also said: "I read the comments in the newspaper, some people think that Ribery is here to be a substitute for Young, but I will say that the club values Ribery's ability, which is not reflected on the bench. ”
What does this mean that Ribery is going to be the main force?
The reporters turned their attention to head coach Magath again.
Magath coughed and said: "Ribery and Rong are both very good players, if they are excellent, why waste them on the bench?" ”
This can be regarded as answering the questions of reporters, that is, it is indeed impossible for Ribery to be a substitute!
So here's the problem......
Learn to dig ...... No, what if it's Podolsky?
If Ribery were to start, Glory would definitely not be a substitute, so it is likely that Glory is on the right, Ribery is on the left, and Lucas is in the middle.
The position on the left was Podolski's......
Now Ribery is tantamount to stealing Podolski's place.
But what...... Podolski's performance at Bayern Munich last season was also quite average, sometimes good and bad, and very unstable, so it is normal to be squeezed out of the position. It's just that...... The main striker of the German national team, but he can't even play the main force at Bayern Munich, so he feels a little ...... when he says it Odd.
※※※
After the press conference, the reporters had some regret - they had planned to ask Rong Guang after the press conference what he thought of Ribery's challenge.
As a result, now that Ribery has not challenged the glory at all, the problem is null and void.
It doesn't look like there will be any storm inside Bayern Munich.
However, the arrival of Ribery will inevitably have an impact on Podolsky, so it is impossible to say that it is calm.
Sure enough, when Ribery arrived in the team, Glory didn't feel any threat, and he and his teammates welcomed Ribery as they did when they welcomed new teammates.
Some reporters and fans also filmed Glory and Ribery talking and laughing on the sidelines of the training ground.
Everyone wondered how Ribery didn't speak German and Glory didn't speak French.
The reason is simple - they have translators. French centre-back Ismael is the interpreter between them.
With an interpreter there, two people can communicate.
On the first day of training, Ribery took the initiative to find glory, expressed his admiration to him, and took the initiative to show his goodwill.
People take the initiative to show favor to themselves, and of course Glory will not put on a show.
And so, with the help of Ismail's translation, the two men talked.
Ribery was a very lively man, and although his appearance gave the impression that he must be gloomy and scary, this was not the case, and he was very fond of jokes.
With a character like his, there is naturally no conflict with glory.
The only problem came from Podolsky.
When Ribery's transfer was successful, Podolski's mood was not good, and his attitude towards Ribery in his usual training was relatively cold.
Ribery seems to know what Podolski's attitude will be towards him, so his attitude towards Podolski is also very average, not as enthusiastic as he is about Glory, and among all his teammates, he is probably the most average one.
Glory has little interest in the ******** within the team, and his usual attention is on training, so he is completely unaware of the conflict between Ribery and Podolski, and even if he does, what does it have to do with him?
Although Bayern Munich is called the "Hollywood of the Bundesliga", there is irony. But Glory's position in the dressing room is very transcendent. First of all, he is the team's number one star, which even Ballack can't compare. Secondly, he is deeply loved by head coach Magath and club president Beckenbauer. Thirdly, he has no quarrel with the world and has a good relationship with almost every teammate, so no one will target him. Fourth, although he is the team's number one star, he never gives orders in the locker room and forms cliques, so his status is detached.
Glory's goal is always to play well and make a lot of money.
He has little interest in being a ball bully in the dressing room.
※※※
When Ribery arrived, he made new demands on Magat.
How to make good use of Ribery and glory at the same time?
He had been better than Mackay and Glory at the same time, but this attempt failed.
He later summed up the lessons of his own failures.
It was found that he did not clarify the priorities between Ma Kai and Rongguang, and the division of labor between the two people on the court was not clear, and the responsibilities were not clear. Everyone wants to be the boss and core on the court, but in this naked direct competition, the inferior Ma Kai was eliminated by Glory.
So if she still wants Glory and Ribery to coexist, and both play well, without interfering with each other. It is necessary to clarify priorities.
Between Glory and Ribery, who is the Lord and who is the second?
There's no suspense about it.
It must be the glory of the primary, with Ribery assisting.
Whoever is asked to make the choice will come up with the same answer as Magat.
Judging from Ribery's joining press conference, Ribery seems to have such an awareness, and things will be better.
I'm afraid that if the two people don't distinguish between the priorities and the two of them, and they haven't realized it yet, it's really over.
Ribery is not the same as Mackay.
Compared to Glory, Mackay was an old man at the time, and Hoeness would not allow an old man to overpower Glory, a newcomer who was in the limelight, so Mackay left in the end.
Similarly, Glory is also an old man relative to Ribery, although when Ribery and Glory clash, Hoeness may not let Glory go, but he can let him as a head coach get out.
Magath knows this. Although he helped the team win the Champions League, Magath does not feel that his position is secure at all.
He kind of understood that coaching at a giant like Bayern Munich with a fastidious and intricate interior would never be able to secure a position......
Even if you are a meritorious coach, it is a matter of minutes to get out of class.
Heathfield was the same decorated manager who led Bayern Munich to the Champions League, but what happened in the end?
Isn't it still class?
If you don't get good grades, you'll be a scapegoat.
Even if the team has a good result, if you have a conflict with a star, it is definitely the coach, not the star, who will be sacrificed in the end.
Magath now just wants to be able to coach Bayern Munich for a few more seasons, win more honours and gain more experience at the big clubs.
※※※
With his thoughts clear, Magath planned to talk to Ribery alone.
I want to know exactly what Ribery thinks about this.
What if he deceived the media?
So I still have to ask him if he is willing to give Rongguang a hand and cooperate with Rongguang.
The result of the one-on-one conversation made Magath very satisfied,
Ribery is indeed like he told reporters, he is not here to compete with glory. If the manager needs him to cooperate with Glory, then he will cooperate with Glory. He can do whatever he wants, and he firmly believes that he will definitely cooperate well with Rongguang.
"Although we have some similar technical characteristics, it doesn't lead to conflicts, on the contrary, I think it will bring more variation to the team."
Ribery said confidently.
