Chapter 336: Schauff's Prophecy (11/40)
While the Werder Bremen players were frantically celebrating their title, a humble award ceremony was also being prepared.
Because this is the home stadium of Bayern Munich, there can be no grand award ceremony.
Before the game, because it was considered that Werder Bremen would win the league title early as long as they drew away from Bayern Munich, the German Football Association specially brought the silver salad plate, which symbolizes the German championship, to the Olympic Stadium.
At the end of the match, if Werder Bremen beats Bayern Munich to win the title, the championship trophy will be awarded to Werder Bremen two rounds in advance.
If Werder Bremen loses to Bayern Munich, then take it back as it is and wait until the next game.
Of course, there have also been cases where both teams have hopes of competing for the title at the same time, so the Football Association has had to take two handicaps to both stadiums.
Of course, one of them is the real thing, and the other is a replica.
This time, what didn't exist was the real salad plate at the Olympic Stadium.
While setting up the award ceremony, the Bayern Munich fans in the stands were also quickly evacuating.
In ten minutes, the Bayern Munich fans in the stands were withdrawn.
The stands, which were overcrowded before, suddenly became sparse.
The most concentrated place was the stands where the Werder Bremen fans were.
Under the protection of the police, they did not leave their seats, the place is a bit far from the stadium, but there is no way.
On the road, there will inevitably be restrictions of one kind or another.
There were also some Bayern Munich fans who did not leave, but they were very few and they were scattered in the stands, looking alone.
I don't know what they left for.
There is no runner-up award ceremony.
Because it was not a home stadium, the Werder Bremen players did not return to the dressing room to continue their celebrations before coming out after the podium was set.
While they were celebrating on the pitch, the stage needed for the medal ceremony was set.
In fact, it's just a brand.
It reads "Bundesliga Champion 2003-2004".
Then the players of Werder Bremen were called together and ready to receive the awards.
Everyone cheered when captain Bauman represented the team to receive the silver championship medal from the hands of the president of the German Football Association, Dr. Zwanzig.
But there were no streamers falling from the sky, and no colored smoke spewing from behind them.
Only the 2,500 Werder Bremen fans in the distant stands echoed them with cheers.
There is also the sound of media reporters in several rows of them, pressing the shutter of the camera in their hands.
The award ceremony was somewhat rudimentary.
But being able to lift the championship trophy on enemy turf is more exciting than any grand ceremony.
Rongguang looked at the championship trophy and was a little surprised at first - why didn't the league champion of this place give out the trophy and send such a plate?
But soon he didn't care about it.
Instead, I started thinking about how much money I could get......
He has a lot of things he wants to do, and these things require money.

In addition to the journalists from Bremen, the happiest people probably have to be Chinese.
In front of the TV, there were still many Chinese fans waiting at this time, watching the championship award ceremony.
Duan Haoran is also still talking about how great and important this glorious championship is, what kind of history he has created, and how much his historical status in Chinese football has improved as a result......
Interspersed with descriptions of the award ceremony.
Guarding in front of the TV were the mountain people in the mountain village.
When the game was over, I heard the commentator say that Rongguang had won the championship.
The old village chief ran out of the courtyard gate and personally lit a long set of firecrackers that had been hanging at the door for a long time. The firecracker hung down from the lintel and dragged it to the ground and stretched far away. I don't know how many rings the road has sounded......
He lit the fuse of the firecracker with the cigarette in his hand, then turned and ran.
Just as he turned around, the sound of crackling firecrackers exploded.
At night, the tranquility of the mountain village was shattered by the sound of firecrackers.
Some people continued to watch the award ceremony in the courtyard, while many more poured out to watch the firecrackers.
Children bouncing around the lit firecrackers loved the lively and festive spectacle.
The red scraps of paper were blown up in all directions, and the smell of burning gunpowder filled the air, which was then dispersed by the mountain breeze at night.
Rong Xiaomo was also in the crowd of onlookers, she looked up at the rising white smoke, and in the smoke there were endless fires flashing.
"Champion! Oh! Champion! ”
"Oooo
The innocent voices of the little ones rang out along with the sound of firecrackers.
A proud smile appeared on her face.
That amazing big star...... It's his own brother!
It's the sheep herding baby in this small mountain village!

Heathfield was the first to attend the post-match press conference as Scharf continued to celebrate the title with his players. After receiving the trophy from the pitch, they returned to the dressing room and the celebration continued in the dressing room.
Facing journalist Heathfield, he conceded defeat: "We lost the league title, it's as simple as that. Even though we did well in the second half of the season, we fell too far behind in the first half of the season and it was fatal...... It's my responsibility not to have defended the league title, but I'm still proud of the way we played in the second half of the season. I'm also proud to be able to coach such a great team as Bayern Munich. ”
A group of reporters looked at each other.
Heathfield said so, and this is almost his farewell speech, right?
After speaking, Heathfield did not answer the reporters' questions, but got up and left the venue.
He was wise, because many reporters below were holding back their energy, wanting to ask him how he felt when he let go of glory......
Although this is a bit ungraceful, but it has been lost like this, what else do you need to be graceful? Grace can't turn him from defeat to victory, and he can't give him the league title......
Anyway, the next day there will be a lot of criticism in the media, and it doesn't matter if there is one more criticism of "Heathfield has no grace".
It was a little after Heathfield had left that Scharf felt the press conference.
It could be seen that he was still very excited, his face was a little flushed, and he had an irrepressible smile.
"What do I want to say? Winning the league title is the result of everyone's hard work and I want to thank everyone in the team and the club! I'm happy to be able to work with a group of people of a high calibre. Of course, at the end of the day, I still have to thank Bayern Munich for their loan loan to us for two seasons! Yes, it's two seasons, so next season, Rong will still play for us! ”
If Schaf's current expression had been seen by Hoeness, he would have gritted his teeth and immediately said in his heart, "The villain has a will!" ”
But this is a hole he dug himself...... The last one trapped himself.
If you only have been on loan for one season. Then the pain and loss in Hoeness's heart would not be so severe now.
At least this season let Werder Bremen win the championship, and the glory will come back next season, and Bayern Munich will take the championship back when the time comes.
Now......
Next season will have to give Bayern Munich a headache.
Molly stood up and asked, "What do you think of Glory for his performance this season?" ”
In fact, this question is very simple, and Molly knows more or less what the other party will say, but she just heard Schaaf praise Glory on a blind date, and then sent it back to China, which is the affirmation of Glory by European football people.
It is also a special favorite for Chinese fans.
Sure enough, Schaaf was very cooperative.
"Rong is an amazing genius, there is no doubt about it. He's the most talented player I've ever seen, and I can say that without exaggeration. I've worked with a lot of good players, but Rong is the best of the best! I think he has a very big future. Maybe soon, he will become one of the best players in the world......"
Although the Chinese reporters wanted to hear Schaaf say something to praise Glory, they did not expect Schaaf to have such a high opinion of Glory. So they are now dumbfounded and dumbfounded.
Even Molly, who asked the question, was surprised.
One of the top players? Isn't that the world's world-level superstar?
Although they boasted about the glory in their reports, they never thought in their hearts that the glory could really reach the level they boasted about.
The world's top players, superstars, is that a realm that is easy to reach casually?
It takes not only strength, but also luck and circumstance.
But is there any glory to these?
At the very least, he will never achieve anything in terms of the national team, right?
After saying that, Schaaf smiled at a group of Chinese reporters who were close to petrification: "I didn't mean to say this to cooperate with you. I assure you that everything I just said is from my heart, my true thoughts. ”
Molly's mouth squirmed a few times, but she finally didn't say anything - she still couldn't digest what Schauff had said.
It's not just her.
After the press conference, the vast majority of Chinese journalists had not come to their senses.
They got together to discuss.
"Will Glory really become a superstar?"
"Schaaf was so excited after winning the championship, right? We can't take what he says seriously at this time...... Maybe when he gets up the next day, he forgets about it......"
"Although I feel that there is little hope, I am still very happy to hear a European say this......
"Is it really impossible? Looking at Rongguang's performance today, I think anything is possible, right? ”
"Glory has been great this season, but that's because the German team doesn't know him. I think next season, when everyone gets to know him and get to know him, he won't have any secrets in front of his opponents. His performance may be compromised...... So, don't be so optimistic now, right? Be cautious lest you make jokes...... Ordinary heart, normal heart. ”
Molly listened to everyone's discussions, and a somewhat absurd scene came to her mind - the young man in the mountains stood in the golden golden hall of Vienna in a straight suit, and then received the trophy of the World Footballer of the Year from FIFA President Sepp Blatter......
