Chapter 498: Not a Competitor

After the training was over, Rong Guang and Lucas stayed to practice as usual.

It's no surprise that everyone is used to this.

As for Lucas, a player who has just joined the team not long ago, he also practiced with him, and everyone felt that it was normal. Because he's a glorious friend......

After the initial strength training, Lucas is now practicing his offensive routines with Glory.

The two of them would imagine what they should do when they were in various situations during the game.

This exercise, which they had done before when they were in São Paulo, was no stranger.

At that time, there was Kaka, who trained in the training base in São Paulo for a week, and the three of them went to the training ground every night to go over the wall to practice.

That's all there is to practice.

Although Lucas didn't get a minute of game time now, Glory and Lucas did it out of preparedness.

It's normal for these two people to practice themselves.

But today, what surprised everyone was...... After the training, Roy Mackay didn't go back to the locker room with them, but chose to stay and practice!

"Hey, Roy......" someone tried to call Mackay back to the locker room.

Ma Kai waved at him, and then walked to the goal with the football in his arms - he had to practice shooting!

The crowd looked at Ma Kai in amazement, as if they had seen a ghost.

Ma Kai has been in the team for two years, and he has never seen him take the initiative to train himself after training.

This is the first time!

It seems that he is really forced by glory.

But......

Someone sighed in his heart.

Isn't it too late to start working hard at this time?

Rongguang and Lucas also noticed Mackay who was practicing on the other side.

They also know what the media reported before. Mackay was not in a good position in the team, Magath lost patience with him, and the media began to criticize him.

Seeing that Ma Kai, who had almost never practiced before, had also begun to practice, Rong Guang knew that Ma Kai was obviously driven to a desperate situation.

"It's pitiful, should I help him?" Seeing Ma Kai like this, Rongguang sighed.

Lucas, who was next to him, looked at him with a meaningful look.

"Give him an assist in the game or something......" Glory said as Lucas watched, and the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became. What kind of eyes are you? ”

He looked at Lucas and said.

"I don't think you're so naïve, Rong?" Lucas asked rhetorically.

"What's wrong?"

"When did you start to sympathize with your competitors?"

"Competitors? Who? Rongguang looked surprised.

Lucas saw that Glory didn't look like he was pretending, and the look of surprise on his face was obviously real.

So he suddenly thought of a possibility.

"This ...... Rong, what do you think of Ma Kai? He asked.

"Teammates, my teammates." Glory replied.

"Isn't it a competitor?"

"Competitors?" Rongguang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Isn't it?" Do you think Roy is my competitor? ”

Lucas nodded: "Isn't it?" The two of you overlap in position, have similar styles of play, and play on the pitch with similar roles...... What is this not a competitor? ”

"We can play at the same time......"

"Don't be funny, do you think you can coexist? After so many games, don't you see it? ”

When Lucas said this, Glory also reacted, he pointed to himself and said, "So Roy is treating me as a competitor?" ”

Lucas nodded.

"Ah...... I didn't expect him to think that. Because...... I thought we couldn't be competitors......" Rong Guang said thoughtfully, frowning.

Lucas complained next to him: "In your heart, I'm afraid only players of the level of Kaka and Ronaldinho can be counted as ...... Opponent, right? ”

Rongguang scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled.

He didn't answer Lucas's question directly, but Lucas already knew what his answer was.

He turned his head to look at Ma Kai, who was still practicing his shot in front of the goal over there, and then pouted: "Poor Roy......"

"Hah...... Forget it, let's get some practice, Lucas! Rongguang laughed dryly and quickly changed the subject.

He himself felt a little sorry for Roy Mackay.

People compete with themselves so seriously, but they don't treat him as a competitor at all......

Hannover 96 are not always a strong team, but they are one of only five teams that are currently unbeaten since the start of the season. Although their unbeaten run is a bit watery - one win and three draws in four league games.

However, this game is still quite suspenseful, and the suspense does not come from Hannover 96, but from Bayern Munich itself.

Before this match, a lot of media was talking about the losing "RR combination".

Although it is not a complete failure, the media uses the word "on the verge of failure".

But it is clear to everyone that unless someone makes concessions and sacrifices, there is no way for the "RR combination" to continue.

Now everyone can see that the "RR combination" is theoretically good, but the main reason for the actual failure is that Rongguang and Ma Kai do not have a clear division of priorities. If both people want to be the protagonist, it is often that no one can be the protagonist.

Ma Kai wants to be the protagonist, no problem, anyone who wants to be the protagonist also has the qualifications to want to be the protagonist. Because that's the dream.

But after thinking about it, if you really want to do it, it depends on whether you have the ability and qualifications.

Glory also wants to be the protagonist, so he uses his performance to fight hard.

And Ma Kai wanted to be the protagonist, but he didn't come up with a convincing enough performance.

This is the main reason why everyone criticized him.

If Rongguang wants to be the protagonist, but his performance is very bad, then the media will also point the finger at him.

So it's not that only Rongguang can be the protagonist, the key is that Ma Kai wants to be the protagonist but doesn't have a matching performance, which is the most deadly.

Now that Glory is performing better, then Magath should naturally focus on him to design offensive tactics. If Mackay is not convinced, then put on a performance that overshadows the glory in the game. Otherwise, if he continues like this, no one will speak for him.

Anyway, the media now thinks that Magath should focus on Glory, and if they still want the "RR combination" to continue, then let Mackay assist Glory.

Would Ma Kaie be willing?

It will depend on what kind of performance Mackay can perform against Hannover 96......

※※※

Before the match against Hannover 96, Mackay specially trained and his performance was seen by everyone.

Bayern Munich's teammates naturally know that this is because of something.

After the media exposed Magath's words to Mackay, everyone knew that Mackay's life at Bayern Munich was not easy.

Regarding Mackay's situation, Bayern Munich's players have mixed feelings.

On the one hand, they have been teammates with Ma Kai for two years, and they know and are familiar with Ma Kai very well, and they know that he is a good person. His popularity in the team is not bad, and if he can, in fact, everyone doesn't want him to go.

But on the other hand, Glory's performance in Bayern Munich is too good, and people can't say anything about it. Complaining that he robbed Makay of the scenery?

But how can there be such a statement in the world of football?

In the world of football, it is certain that those who perform well should get more opportunities, this is the common principle pursued by all players, and whoever opposes this is a public enemy. Because this kind of thinking means subverting the effort of all the players.

Whoever performs better should be the protagonist.

Therefore, everyone can't complain about Ma Kai.

If you say that Rongguang's performance is also bad, it is because of this good relationship with the head coach that he will sit firmly in the main force, then everyone still says.

But now that Glory's performance is perfect, they have no choice but to shut up.

They won't even complain that it was Glory that robbed Ma Kai of the opportunity, they would only feel that Ma Kai himself was not angry.

At most, Roy is really unfortunate to compete with Glory......

But if they didn't regard Ma Kai as an opponent at all, I really don't know how they would feel.

※※※

The match against Hannover 96 finally came as scheduled.

For this game, the other Bayern Munich players seemed very relaxed, because Hannover is actually not strong, anyway, the Bayern Munich players did not take this team very seriously.

They believe that with their own strength, it will be easy to beat Hannover 96.

They think about something else.

What can they do for Roy Mackay in this match that stakes Roy Mackay's fate?

In order to help Mackay and stop the performance of Glory?

This kind of thing, the players of Bayern Munich can't do it.

But they might be able to help Mackay get the ball on the scoresheet more, and if Mackay can get the ball on the scoresheet, the pressure on his head should go away, right?

If one goal is not enough, then two goals, two goals are not enough, then a hat-trick!

※※※

Lucas was also in the squad for this game, but he was not in the starting line-up and he was still a long way from the starter.

In the pre-match preparations, Lucas sat down with Rongguang, and then he elbowed Rongguang, who was changing clothes.

"Huh?"

"Eh, Rong...... You say, your new team-mates at Bayern Munich...... Will he secretly help Mackay score goals? Lucas whispered. After all, they've been teammates with Mackay for as long as they've been teammates with you......"

Rongguang was stunned for a moment, then looked up at his teammates in the locker room.

Everyone is doing their own thing, and of course there are people getting together to talk, but it's normal, and that's what it looks like in Bayern Munich's dressing room before any game.

Roy Mackay was a little silent, he sat in his place, didn't pay attention to anyone, just closed his eyes and listened to music with headphones on.

No one went up to talk to him.

"It's normal to score goals, right? It's normal to assist anyone in the game. He said.

"Then you're not afraid of being brushed down by him?" Lucas is a newcomer, apparently closer to glory, and for other Bayern Munich players, he still has a layer of window paper. It's just a general thing, this kind of thing that is related to the vital interests of his good friends, it is a matter of right and wrong, he is absolutely unswervingly on the side of his good friends, and he doesn't mind thinking about his new teammates a little darker.

Rongguang shook his head firmly: "Don't worry. ”

"Because you're going to be better than him?" Lucas asked.

"It's not. I think Roy would be nice if he could coexist with me! I've watched the media's analysis of the 'RR Portfolio', and I'm very tempted. Rongguang shook his head.

Lucas covered his face with his hands: "Poor Roy! ”

It's a pity that you have tried so hard, but you still can't become Rong's opponent!

Rong will never regard those who he thinks are not strong enough as opponents, and those who can be qualified to be his opponents must be the top ones......
