Chapter 432: Vision
In the last round of the league, Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich are both away, but Werder Bremen's opponents are obviously weaker than Bayern Munich.
Werder Bremen's opponent is Kaiserslautern. After 33 league games, they are 11th with 40 points, far from the relegation zone, and have no chance of qualifying for Europe. So the last round is desireless for them.
Bayern Munich's opponents, Stuttgart, are in trouble. Third in the league, Schalke 04 currently has 64 points, while Stuttgart are fourth, just one point away from Schalke 04.
If they want to qualify directly for next season's Champions League, they will need to pull Schalke 04 off and replace them.
So they will definitely be more motivated than Kaiserslautern in this game.
It's still on their home turf......
Many German media analysed the championship situation of the two teams and believed that Werder Bremen had the upper hand.
As long as Werder Bremen does not lose in the final round, it will be the league champion.
Because even if Werder Bremen was held to a draw by Kaiserslautern, Bayern Munich won and the two teams were tied on points. But whether it is the number of goals, the number of goals difference, or the results of the match, it is Werder Bremen who have the advantage.
Now fate is no longer in Bayern Munich's own hands.
“…… Magath's side are in good chance of losing the league title...... The only thing they can compete for is the German Cup. Werder Bremen have been very consistent and strong this season, and they are a well-deserved champion! ”
What the German newspaper Bild said.
“…… If Bayern Munich loses another league title, it will definitely not be Magath's fault. It's Hoeness's fault. If it weren't for the fact that he had to loan Rong to Werder Bremen for two years...... This season should be Bayern Munich cheering for the title. I think there should be a picture of Heathfield's head stuck behind the door of Hoeness's office, full of darts...... Ha Lu Ha! ”
"But thankfully, their nightmare is coming to an end. At the end of the season, Young's loan contract expires and he will return to Bayern Munich. I think this time, there will be no ridiculous joke that he can't even make the eighteen-man roster...... Demichelis, Kahn, Jeremais...... These people must have breathed a sigh in their hearts - finally they don't have to face that kid in a game anymore! ”
The media in Munich also expressed pessimism about the team winning the league title.
'We should think about what we want next season. This season's league title is not destined to belong to us, and it would be foolish to bother for something that doesn't belong to us! Of course, Bayern Munich's decision to go on loan for two seasons was stupid enough, so I don't care if it's stupid......"
"For two seasons in a row, Bayern Munich has done well enough. It's a pity that their opponents are also strong enough, and the proud Werder Bremen Yanran is Bayern Munich's biggest nemesis. Now that the two teams are only two points apart, the importance of the two head-to-head meetings is even more evident – if Bayern Munich can win one of them, they should now be ahead of Werder Bremen. But it's such a pity, who made Werder Bremen proud? He is a person who behaves exceptionally as soon as he meets Bayern Munich...... Bayern Munich lost at the feet of this man, it's not too wrong, right? Who said they didn't look down on glory in the first place? ”
"Let's cheer for Werder Bremen, the league champions of this season, who successfully defended their league title, something that for a long time only Bayern Munich could do. But now Werder Bremen has joined the ranks of the winners! ”
Of course, there are also Munich media sour words that this will be the most glorious of Werder Bremen.
"With both Wing and Ismail both departing next season, Werder Bremen will be hit hard at both the offensive and defensive ends. So they are left with only this most glorious ...... And Bayern Munich after having glory is tantamount to a tiger with wings, which is worth looking forward to! ”

On May 21, at 4:30 p.m., the last round of the Bundesliga, all matches were played at the same time to ensure fairness.
At the same time, Werder Bremen took on Kaiserslautern away from home.
At the same time, Bayern Munich face Stuttgart away from home.
In the seventh minute of the game, Rong Guang opened the scoring for the team with a long-range shot.
The Werder Bremen fans cheered as if it were Werder Bremen's home stadium......
Twenty minutes later, in the twenty-seventh minute, Ballack, the core of Bayern Munich's midfield, also scored a goal for Bayern Munich to give Bayern Munich the lead.
Three minutes later, in the thirtieth minute, Salihamidzic extended the score to 2-0. Bayern Munich completely overpowered Stuttgart away from home.
Towards the end of the first half, Glory scored twice to extend Werder Brighten's lead, which also led Kaiserslautern 2-0 away from home.
It looks like Werder Bremen's league title is gone.
The commentators are already giving the audience an early introduction to this season's league winner, Werder Bremen.
However, just three minutes into the second half, Kaiserslautern pulled a goal back.
Suddenly the atmosphere became tense.
Kaiserslautern are just one goal away from equalising and with only three minutes of the second half, there are still 45 minutes left to take advantage of when injury time is included.
They will never settle for a goal or an equaliser.
If the score had been 0-2, perhaps Kaiserslautern would not have had that idea.
But now that the fat is in front of their mouths, why don't they open their mouths and take a bite?
※※※
Magath was also quick to hear that Werder Bremen had a goal back.
But he didn't respond.
'It doesn't make sense, Kaiserslautern has to score at least two more goals. But if they press aggressively, Werder Bremen will still be proud......"
Magath said to the assistant coach.
The assistant coach, who was quite excited, thought carefully about Magath's words and felt that what the head coach said made sense.
Werder Bremen are proud, so Kaiserslautern is unlikely to equalise, and it is even less likely to complete a comeback to help Bayern Munich win the title.
He sighed and sat back down.
Why is Rong not on his own team?
He's probably going to have to ask Heathfield about that......
※※※
After scoring a goal by Kaiserslautern, Schaff made an immediate adjustment.
He began to shrink his defense and started to counter-attack.
Leave a glory ahead.
Everyone else retracted, and when they got the ball, they kicked forward, and if they chased after the glory, they would chase it, and if they couldn't catch up, forget it.
This kind of attack has no technical content at all, it is to make full use of the speed of Glory to attack and harass the opponent, so that Kaiserslautern does not dare to press it easily. As a result, the pressure on Werder Bremen's backline is much lighter.
This tactic was very successful, and when Glory came twice in front of the field and almost scored, Kaiserslautern was honest - they didn't worry about relegation anyway, they didn't worry about European competition, why should they work so hard?
Bayern Munich definitely wants us to fight so hard, but the problem is that we are fighting for other people's championships...... How idiotic does it take to do this?
As a result, Kaiserslautern also stopped playing hard with Werder Bremen.
※※※
The rest of the game lost its suspense.
When Werder Bremen finally beat Kaiserslautern 2-1 away, they finally managed to defend their league title!
And it doesn't matter what happens to Bayern Munich's side.
Of course, in the end, Bayern Munich did not drop the chain, and they beat Stuttgart 3-1 away to finally fight to the last moment.
But it was still the runner-up by two points.
It was their second consecutive league title race to Werder Bremen.
It's also likely to be ...... The last time.
※※※
After the game, at someone else's home stadium, Werder Bremen lifted the trophy for the league title.
This is the second time that Glory has touched the salad plate that symbolizes the Bundesliga championship.
But he wasn't as excited as he was the first time.
Because after seeing the Champions League, the Bundesliga title has made him a little unrefreshed.
He was holding the league championship trophy, and his teammates around him were shouting and jumping excitedly. But he was thinking – this is the Champions League trophy...... How nice it would be!
However, in addition to the championship plate, he also won a trophy for the first time.
That is the "little steel cannon" that symbolizes the top scorer in the Bundesliga!
A cannon-like trophy.
Glory has scored a total of 24 goals in the Bundesliga this season, the same number as Nuremberg's goalscorer Mintal, so the two of them share the top scorer honor.
This is the first time that Glory has won the top scorer of a competition, but it will definitely not be the only one – in fact, Glory can now almost lock up the top scorer in the Champions League this season. So far, neither Liverpool nor AC Milan have come close to him in the number of goals scored by Liverpool and AC Milan......
※※※
At home to Stuttgart, Magath and his players already know the final result.
In the locker room, everyone was quiet, or rather silent.
They worked hard for a season, but in the end they were defeated by the same opponent, and they were all unwilling.
Magath slapped his face: "Okay, let him pass the past." Think about the things that make you happy, guys. We have a German Cup final to play! ”
Most of the people began to pack their things silently.
Barak was among them.
He was particularly frustrated.
Because he opened the scoring for the team in this game. But there was no championship as a reward.
The results now make him feel like his efforts are not being rewarded in any way.
At Bayern Munich he did his best, but he still couldn't win the title.
He even thought about leaving the team.
Go to a team that has the ability to win more titles.
For example, the Champions League winner......
So on this day, when Rong Guang was absent-mindedly holding the German championship trophy, in another place, there was also a person like him, eager to go to a bigger stage......
※※※
At the Fritz Walter Stadium in Kaiserslautern, an old man sat in the stands and laughed when he saw Glory lift the trophy as he lifted it.
It looks like Glory is in good shape.
Now I am relieved.
He stood up, patted his buttocks, glanced at Glory from the back, turned slowly, and walked out.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in action this summer, Rong......

PS, today's Weibo is so heartbroken, they all say that I am a bright light?
Today I'm going to show you what I'm capable of – England beat Uruguay by one goal, and that's not the result that counts me as a loss!
