Chapter 941: Ribery's Problem
After Rong Guang hung up the phone, Debora came down from upstairs and asked, "A former Bayern Munich teammate called?" ”
"Hmm." Glory nodded.
"Ribery?" Debora continued. She called Glory because it was Ribery.
Rongguang shook his head: "No, it's a little pig." ”
"Oh, Schwein......" it dawned on Debora that she didn't ask any more.
But the name she mentioned made Glory fall into a state of distraction.
Since he left Bayern Munich, he has been largely out of touch with Ribery, with Schweinsteiger and Lahm occasionally calling him to say hello or something.
This time, when the two teams were about to meet, didn't Schweinsteiger make a special call?
But Ribery didn't.
Since his transfer to Bayern Munich, he has never made a phone call.
Rong Guang didn't think that Ribery would turn his face and disown people because he left Bayern Munich, and he could understand why Ribery was reluctant to contact him......

'Frank Ribery is the absolute heart of this team, but things have changed a bit this year. Before the game against Bayern Munich, Benitez gave the team one last tactical lesson, giving them an analysis of their opponents and giving them a better understanding of Bayern Munich.
"It's been two seasons since I joined Bayern Munich, and Ribery's performance is quite good, his personal numbers are very beautiful, but Bayern Munich's results are not very good. In the first season of joining Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich was eliminated in the Champions League, and the final league title was also very thrilling. Last season, I lost the league title. There was news that Ribery was going to leave Bayern Munich this summer, and it was rumored, although he stayed at Bayern Munich in the end, but Bayern Munich also bought Robben at the same time, so this year's situation is different. ”
On the PPT of the projection screen, next to the photo of Ribery, a photo of Robben appeared.
"Now Bayern Munich, the two wings are flying together, Ribery is on the left, Robben is on the right. Franck Ribery's central role in Bayern Munich has been diminished, and Arjen Robben will be more noteworthy than others. ”
Rongguang looked at the photos of Robben and Ribery on the PPT, and didn't listen to what Benitez said next.
Taking over his own class, only to lose the Champions League and league titles, Franck Ribery has been under tremendous pressure for both seasons.
Otherwise, there would be no rumors of him leaving after the end of last season.
Later, it was said that it was Ribery's agent who wanted to help Ribery get more salary, but the two sides had just renewed their contract a year ago, and this time the rumors did not end with a contract extension.
Ribery ended up staying at Bayern Munich and was not offered a new contract.
So Glory doesn't think Ribery wants a new contract to blackmail the club.
He really wanted to leave.
He wasn't as happy at Bayern Munich as everyone thought he would be.
Why not be happy?
Maybe it's because Ribery has to live in his shadow all the time......
This is not the glory of the princess selling melons, selling herself and boasting.
This is not the opinion of one person of glory, this is the opinion of many people.
I'm afraid it's not just Ribery, it's the whole of Bayern Munich, it's facing a problem like this.
To this day, there are still many people who are nostalgic for the glory.
In Germany, Hei Hoeness took glory to black, and almost tried and tested. If you use anything else, there will always be someone else who defends Hoeness, but when it comes to glory, everyone is shut up, and no one makes excuses for Hoeness.
Because what Hoeness did was really not authentic.
Ribery has been the most affected, because after Glory's departure, Ribery is the heart of the team, and he is tasked with leading Bayern Munich forward, so it is inevitable that others will compare him to Glory who has left.
Whether it is personal ability, personality charm, or team results, he can't compare with glory at all.
So Ribery always lived in the shadow of glory.
He wants to leave Bayern Munich, probably because he wants to get rid of this shadow......
“…… In short, this game can't just defend Ribery, we need to focus on Robben, who is in better form than Ribery at the moment and he is more threatening. Finally, Benitez said.
He was done with the questions about Ribery and Robben.

Before the match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich, the relationship between Glory and Bayern Munich was naturally of concern to everyone.
The other Bayern Munich players, Rongguang's former teammates from his time at Bayern Munich, all passed on their greetings and goodwill to Rongguang in interviews, as well as blessings and praise for his watch at Manchester City.
However, there are also discordant notes.
After the pre-match training, a reporter squeezed up to Ribery, held the microphone out to him, and asked: "Do you agree with the statement that some people think that you have always lived in the shadow of Rong?" ”
The question was like a dagger, and it was stuck in Ribery's heart.
The last thing Ribery wanted to answer was what they were going to ask him and see how he reacted.
They just want to provoke Ribery, and if Ribery is angry, they say "Ribery is not happy with Honor" and "Ribery is tired of Honor"......
Anyway, on the one hand, it creates a topic, and on the other hand, it provokes the contradiction between Ribery and Glory......
Ribery was stunned when he was asked this question.
He didn't expect the reporter to ask such a question directly.
But Schweinsteiger next to him reacted faster, he squeezed directly over and blocked in front of Ribery: "I'm sorry, we're going back." I'm sorry......" he said as he squeezed Ribery out.
As soon as the other reporters saw that the two were leaving, they hurriedly swarmed up and threw out all their questions.
There was some confusion at the scene.
One of the reporters who asked the question kept asking Ribery loudly: "Can you answer my question, Frank?" What do you think of that......
Schweinsteiger continued to push away the reporters on both sides and led Ribery out.
Ribery, on the other hand, kept his head down and said nothing, following behind Schweinsteiger, finally squeezing out the encirclement of those reporters.
When the two of them walked briskly back to the bus, Schweinsteiger leaned close to Ribery and whispered to him, "Don't take those bullshit reporters to heart." ”
Ribery looked up at his teammates and nodded.
But Schweinsteiger frowned when he saw Ribery's expression - the devil knows if Frank listened to his words......
Robben, who sat diagonally behind, glanced at Schweinsteiger and Ribery.
He's new to the team, but he knows exactly who the heart of this team is, Franck Franck Franck Ribery.
Ribery's personality is like that of a Frenchman, very warm, cheerful and lively, and loves to joke.
But Robben was not such a person, so the personalities of the two people were incompatible.
In addition, on the court, there is also competition between the two men.
Since Robben is here, he doesn't want to be an ordinary player, he wants to be the core of the team.
But this core is now Ribery, and although Van Gaal is his Dutch countryman Robben, he does not mean to let Robben snatch Ribery's core as soon as he comes up.
It seems that Van Gaal intends to let Robben rely on his own table to fight for the core position.
So naturally, Robben saw Ribery as a competitor.
With Robben's talent and character, it's really normal to have such thoughts......
He has been observing Ribery, who is not very fond of Ribery these days, and used to joke and prank in the team.
There was some silence during this time.
Especially after coming to Manchester.
Robben knew the story between Ribery and Young, who transferred to the team when Wing was still alive, and when Wing left, he took over the core class, but he didn't perform well, and the team didn't get the honor they deserved.
So he's always had a shadow.
Now, after seeing the glory again, this psychological shadow must have been magnified. Hence the reticent nature of Ribery.
Robben felt that this game was his chance.
Ribery will not play well, but he will be excellent and help Bayern Munich defeat Manchester City, and he will not only beat Ribery in his personal appearance, but also defeat Glory, saving the entire Bayern Munich team from the shadow left by glory, and making them realize that Bayern Munich today cannot always live in the "glory" of the past.

As the general manager of FC Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeness naturally came to watch the game, but he did not come with the team, but came alone by plane the day before the game.
At the airport, he was blocked by journalists.
Everyone wants to hear his outlook for this game, as well as ...... Most importantly, his evaluation of glory.
"The opponent is strong, but I am confident that Bayern Munich will win." At the airport, Bigmouth Hoeness did not refuse to be interviewed, but talked eloquently in front of the reporters' cameras and microphones. This is his consistent style, in German football, Hoeness is known for daring to say that he can spray, at the beginning Daum was the coach who could threaten Bayern Munich, and the person who publicly broke the news that Daum was taking drugs was Hoeness, and then the matter of directing Zhì Daum to coach the German national team came to naught, and the two formed a great bond.
"You can't expect a team to buy some players in the summer and then there's a qualitative change. That's just a pile of stars, not a team ......"
The Manchester Evening News reporter couldn't help but ask in a loud voice: "But Bayern Munich also bought Robben ...... this summer"
"Bayern Munich has a better foundation than Manchester City." Hoeness replied with some arrogance. "It's different."
"So what do you think of Rong? Manchester City are proud! And everyone knows that when Rong was in Werder Bremen, he could be called the 'Bayern Munich nemesis'! Seeing that he was so arrogant, the Manchester Evening News reporter couldn't help but smell of gunpowder when he asked questions, and the last thing Hoeness wanted to hear was anyone's name, so he had to mention the name of the person in front of him, and he had to add a note.
When Hoeness heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, and his previous arrogant and nonchaltical expression was gone.
