Chapter 268: Focus Battle (Alliance Leader Plus Change)
Prior to this heavyweight matchup, both sides still had a German Cup game to play, and both teams played at home, which saved the pain of going back and forth.
Bayern Munich host Hamburg, while Werder Bremen host Hertha Berlin.
Both managers used a rotational line-up in both games, which shows how much they are focused on the upcoming league games.
Glory was not in the starting line-up, and despite his keen to play, he told Schaff that he had no fitness issues at all.
But Schaaf still didn't agree to Glory's request to appear.
Because he was worried that Glory would be hurt.
In fact, the way Glory plays football at the moment is really too hateful and easy to get hurt.
If you get injured against Hertha Berlin, it will be more than worth the loss.
In comparison, the league is the most important.
Glory was helpless, and he could only sit on the bench.
It was Elton's first start since the Borussia Dortmund game.
As a result, he played very well in this game, and vented all the energy he had accumulated on the bench, scoring twice to help Werder Bremen beat Hertha Berlin 6-1.
Rong Guang only came off the bench in the last five minutes and looked for the feeling of the game.
Elton's change in this game came as a surprise to Schaff.
He originally thought that Elton would be very unhappy if he had been a substitute for so long, and even if he started the game, with his temperament, he might not be able to play well.
Unexpectedly, Elton was very aggressive, running back and forth, looking for opportunities, and then scoring with a shot.
Schaaf couldn't figure out how Elton had suddenly changed sex.

After the German Cup, it was the league that followed.
In the fifteenth round of the league, Werder Bremen hosted Bayern Munich, which was the focus of this round of the league.
Before the game, some media wanted to interview Rong Guang to hear how he felt about meeting Bayern Munich again.
But they were not able to find glory.
So there's no way to know what Lu Dao Rongguang thinks about this game.
On Bayern Munich's side, "Piggy" Schweinsteiger was interviewed and mentioned glory.
'Wing is a great player and we have to give it our all. And I'm looking forward to playing alongside him......"
The "little pig", who was worried about his position at the beginning, is now a regular rotation player for Bayern Munich, and can often come off the bench and play a lot of games.
And he also has a league goal.
Among the younger generation of players, his development has been smooth.
Heathfield was the most bombarded by the media, as it was his decision to send Glory on loan to Bremen.
"Do you regret that decision?" Heathfield was asked by reporters at a pre-match press conference.
"What do I have to regret for what I am?" Heathfield spread his hands. "The loan move is a good thing for both Wing and Bayern Munich. I'm delighted to see his success at Werder Bremen. ”
"Including his success in leading Werder Bremen to victory over Bayern Munich?" Journalists are-for-tat.
Heathfield was expressionless: "The game hasn't started yet, and there's no point in talking about the result. It's a close game, and no one can say it's going to win. ”
"As the defending champions, this season has not been satisfactory, did you expect that?"
"I knew it was going to be tough to defend the title. But the season is long, and it's not even half done yet, so I'm confident about the future......"
When Schaff was replaced at the press conference, the Werder Bremen manager was also cautious: "Although it is a home game, although Bayern Munich's recent form has been up and down, it cannot be said that Werder Bremen has the advantage. We don't have any advantage and we still need to give our best in this game. ”
"Rong? He certainly helped us a lot. But the team's results are not the credit of any one person, just as the team loses the game, it cannot be said that it is the responsibility of one person. The team has been a bit of a surprise this season and that's a credit to the whole team. I am very happy that Rong chose to come to Werder Bremen......"
Both managers were restrained.
At the manager level, Alofs had less scruples, and he openly ridiculed Hoeness.
"Actually, we found out about playing in Sao Paulo earlier than Bayern Munich. Unfortunately, the $7 million contract breaker was a bit difficult for us, and when Bayern Munich stepped in, it was easier – no one could turn down an offer from Bayern Munich. But I'm happy with what Bayern Munich did afterwards and thank them for loaning us on loan for two seasons! ”
Hoeness heard Alofs's words and gritted his teeth angrily. But he can't refute it yet, because what people say is the truth!
Now Hoeness regrets two things the most, one is to lease Glory to Werder Bremen, and one lease is for two years. Another thing is that he forgot to stipulate in the loan contract that Glory is not allowed to play against Bayern Munich!
Without the glory of Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich is not worried.

The clash between the two teams is not just a matter of the two teams, but also the supporters of both sides.
At the media level, the two sides also launched a fierce showdown.
First of all, the local Bremen media newspaper Weser Courier published an article mocking Bayern Munich.
“…… Werder Bremen are at the top of the league table and are gaining momentum, and in addition to the hard work of Alofs and Schaf and the players, there is another person who must be thanked: Bayern Munich manager Hoeness, and manager Heathfield. It was their distrust of Rong that pushed Rong to us. The only regret is that they only loaned it out and didn't sell it to us directly......"
Then the rest of Bremen's media followed.
"Bremen Information", "Weser Report", "Bremen Advertising", and "BLV" all boasted about how powerful Glory was, and how stupid Bayern Munich was to let Glory go.
Anyway, how can you mock Bayern Munich, just come.
It can be seen that Bayern Munich's popularity in Germany is really average......
When Bayern Munich is not good, everyone wants to come and fall into the ground.
Of course, Munich is not going to rest on its laurels, as Timo Brauer, a journalist for the Munich Zeitung, writes about Glory's current problems.
“…… Rong is almost a phenomenon in the league now, and there are a lot of articles touting him. But I don't think so. Rong is not as good as those media say, in fact, he has a lot of problems, or hidden dangers. He's doing well now because he's only just landed in the Bundesliga and his opponents don't know him well enough. Once you get to know him, you will feel that he is nothing more than that...... As a professional footballer, speed alone won't work. But it's a pity that the current Rong only relies on speed. I don't see Werder Bremen trying to help Wing improve his abilities in other areas...... It seems that Schaaf is planning to use Rong's speed to the extreme...... But we all know that a speed player needs space, so what does he do if he isn't given enough space in the game? ”
It's not the first time Timo Brower has said this.
Not long after Rongguang joined Bayern Munich, when he couldn't play for several games in a row, Timo Brauer's article criticizing Rongguang was published in the Munich Zeitung. It's not unusual to think that he has a single characteristic, lacks variety, and doesn't play.
Later, after Rongguang went to Werder Bremen, he also chased over to report on Rongguang's game.
In the pre-match press conference, he provoked Schaaf with questions.
Who would have thought that Glory would be slapped hard in the face in the first game at Werder Bremen...... Oh no, it's two slaps, and Glory scores two goals.
Timo Brauer then returned to Munich and stopped talking about glory.
This time, he is back on the mountain, apparently because Bayern Munich are going to play Werder Bremen.
If anyone is willing to analyze it calmly, they will admit that Timo Brauer is right when he says that what Glory is showing now is mainly based on speed.
This style of play is very limited.
But with the big game just around the corner, few people will patiently and calmly analyze whether he is right or not.
Bremen and Munich are all about fighting for the sake of being against each other.
If you say that glory is good, I will say that glory is not good. If you devalue Glory to worthlessness, then I want to boast that Glory is a player who is unparalleled in the world......
It's pure vindictiveness.
However, this kind of vindictiveness between the media still plays up the atmosphere of the big war very well, and everyone is very interested in rendering this game.
The whole of Germany, this weekend, the most concerned game is this one - Werder Bremen hosts Bayern Munich!
※※※
The media is in full swing, so how does Glory feel as the most watched player of this game?
He continued his training without saying anything in the world of accidents.
However, Debora has recently read a lot of newspaper reviews about Glory, some of which praise him, but there are also many articles that criticize him, saying that Glory is worthless.
Debora felt a little embarrassed to see such an article.
Because many of the media that attacked Glory in this way were from Munich. That's the city where the home team is in the literal sense of the word.
If they attack Glory like this, will Glory be able to return to Munich after that?
Fortunately, Rongguang himself doesn't pay attention to the media, so I don't know what the media said, but someone will always tell him these words, what will Rongguang think when the time comes?
Will he feel that he was wrong to join Bayern Munich in the first place?
I wanted to repay the favor so I went to great lengths to send glory to Bayern Munich, and now it seems that this is not a wrong decision?
After Glory finishes his training with Florian, the car, called Debola, returns to the apartment.
In the car, Rongguang has been resting in the back seat without saying a word. Debola, who was driving, suddenly said, "Do you regret it, Rong?" ”
Rongguang felt strange: "What do you regret?" ”
"I regret joining Bayern Munich." Debora said as she drove.
"What do I have to regret for what I am?" Rongguang felt that the angle of the questions asked by Debora was strange.
"It is precisely because I joined Bayern Munich that I was scolded as a parallel import, and I went around to play in Werder Bremen, what if I didn't choose Bayern Munich at the beginning, but joined Werder Bremen directly?"
Rongguang thought for a moment and then said: "Maybe I'll be loaned to Bayern Munich?" Hahaha! That's not bad to think about! ”
Debola, who was driving, rolled her eyes.
Idiot.
She cursed inwardly.
