Chapter 942: Hoeness and Rong
"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'! ”
Uli Hoeness didn't expect this reporter to be so naked, he was stunned for a moment, and the expression of arrogance and indifference that he had had before was gone.
To say, Hoeness has also looked down on Manchester City until now, not only despise, but even a little hostile, in his opinion, Manchester City is a nouveau riche who has relied on a few draws.
Just because of the capriciousness of money, they go everywhere to break the rules of the market, and when they buy people, they take money as if it is not money, and throw it away casually, what is the result of this?
Other European giants are unstable, some want to leave, others want to use Manchester City to raise the price of the club and get a higher salary.
This kind of behavior is naturally abhorrent as a team manager.
In addition, Manchester City's various big moves have also brought a very bad situation to European football, that is, they have raised the price standard.
For example, there is a player who could have been bought for 10 million euros if other teams wanted to buy it before the emergence of Manchester City, which was invested in Abu Dhabi. But after the arrival of the Middle Eastern tycoon, the player may need 20 million euros to get his hands on.
Why?
Because you don't pay 20 million, Manchester City will come out!
Therefore, there are still many big teams in European football, and Manchester City is very dissatisfied.
Think they are people who break the order of rules.
Not welcome.
That's why Hoeness has been looking down on Manchester City.
Against Manchester City, he can have that sense of superiority. But to the glory ...... Hoeness is really having a hard time maintaining a sense of superiority.
It was his decision to give up Glory, and he decided that Glory could not have played well after suffering a serious injury, so the future of the team belonged to Ribery, so he let Glory go and straightened Ribery.
As a result, Ribery's personal table in Bayern Munich was barely reasonable, but the team's results did not improve, and they won a league title, which was still Rongguang's last season at Bayern Munich, and half of the season, Rongguang was healthy, and he helped the team achieve a huge lead in the league, without these leads, Bayern Munich would definitely be ousted by Werder Bremera in the end......
Last season, in the Champions League, Bayern Munich ended in the quarterfinals. In the league, they also lost the league title.
What about glory? Finishing fourth in the league at Manchester City, qualifying for the Champions League this season and winning the FA Cup, continuing his tradition of winning every season – it was not easy to lead City to FA Cup in such difficult circumstances.
Such glory does not look at all like someone who has suffered a serious ankle injury in the past.
He went to Manchester City and is still the kind of man who can decide the outcome of a team by one person.
Just like he did at Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich.
This made Hoeness particularly entangled.
Every time he was good, he would be beaten by Bayern Munich fans and media at home, which annoyed him.
But the glorious table is so good, he is always beaten, and it is impossible to even fight back.
So this game...... Maybe this game will be a great opportunity.
There is no need for Ribery or Robben to beat Glory, but as long as Bayern Munich can beat Manchester City, Glory can clearly recognize the gap, the gap between Manchester City and Bayern Munich, no matter how rich Manchester City is, no matter how good his performance at Manchester City is, there is no way to make Manchester City become a European giant like Bayern Munich, and a game as advanced as the Champions League will always be the stage for giants, Manchester City? An upstart who also wants to come in and get a piece of the pie? Don't even think about it!
Thinking of this, he told the Manchester Evening News reporter who asked the question: "Football is a team sport, and one person's performance cannot determine the outcome of a game. I wish him the best of luck tomorrow and his team really needs some luck......"
After saying that, he no longer accepted interviews from any reporters and squeezed out of the encirclement.

In an interview, Hoeness expressed his confidence and disdain for Manchester City...... "In the evening show on local television in Manchester, Hoeness basically appeared as a villain, and his disdain for Manchester City was amplified and amplified by the media.
A reporter asked him about Rong, which is a very sensitive issue, because we all know very well about his grievances with Rong...... He wished Rong the best of luck as he believes Manchester City really need luck to beat Bayern Munich...... Hoeness seems to have a reason to say this, as Bayern Munich have been very good in the last two league games, beating Wolfsburg 3-0 at home, and it was Wolfsburg who snatched their league title last season. Next, they beat Dortmund 5-1 away in the fifth round of the league, knowing that it is not easy to beat Dortmund with such a big disparity at the West**** Stadium, even if it is Bayern Munich......"
"Bayern Munich have finally exploded after three winless games in the early stages of the league. Commentators believe that this is because of Robben's joining...... The addition of the Dutch 'Peter Pan' brought speed and change to the team, and Bayern Munich began to turn the tide and turn defeat into victory when Robben joined the team...... Arjen Robben scored twice in his first game at Bayern Munich, helping Bayern Munich beat last season's rivals Wolfsburg 3-0 at home......
Robben was introduced on the TV news.
Obviously, this is the media who believes that Robben is the most threatening figure in the Bayern Munich team in this game.
Ribery?
No one has ever mentioned him anymore, and it is still the same way to mention him: Ribery lives in the shadow of Rong......
Robben, who has just joined Bayern Munich, is the most popular.

The next day was matchday, and reporters were wandering around the hotel where the Manchester City players were staying, trying to catch some news.
But in fact, they went to interview Glory.
After Hoeness said that yesterday, they hadn't asked Glory what he thought about it.
This kind of thing is naturally to pick this side and that side.
Hoeness has already commented on Glory, but Glory hasn't responded to him yet......
The reporters' wish was not fulfilled until the two teams arrived at the stadium – when Glory jumped off the bus, he was blocked by reporters surrounding the aisle, and everyone asked him the same question.
What was the reaction to Hoeness's words?
After listening quietly to the reporters' relays of Hoeness's words, Rongguang did not get angry, but a smile appeared on his face.
Another guy who thinks I'm going to Manchester City and I'm going to fall for myself, hey!
"It doesn't matter if it's luck or whatever, the winner will be Manchester City anyway."
After saying that, he waved his hand and refused the interview requests of other reporters, and followed the big team to the players' locker room.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and if you continue to talk about it, you will really tear your face.
Just because he has feelings for Bayern Munich doesn't mean he has deep feelings for Hoeness.
Although the outside world says that Hoeness is his glorious Bole, the glory is very clear, if you really talk about Bole, his Bole is Beckenbauer, not Hoeness.
The person who decided to bring himself to Bayern Munich in the first place was Beckenbauer, not Hoeness.
Hoeness had questioned himself at the beginning, so if it weren't for Beckenbauer's insistence, he wouldn't have been able to come to Bayern Munich.
With so many titles won at Bayern Munich, Glory doesn't think he owes Hoeness anything.
In the end, the contract went into trouble, and he didn't tear up his face with Hoeness, he thought that he had done his best.
Now that they are not a team, there is no need for him to take too much care of the old friendship, anyway, if he wins Bayern Munich in this game, he will not feel sorry for Hoeness's "cultivation work......

Head back to the locker room, change into your training clothes, and go out to warm up.
After warming up, head back to the locker room.
It's not long before you play.
Benitez was the last to come back from the pitch, closing the door and looking at his players.
In this game, except for David Silva, who has just returned from injury, everyone else is the best candidate in their respective positions.
He is no stranger to the Champions League, and many of these players are no strangers either, such as Glory and Lucio, and even have the experience of winning the Champions League.
But when these people come together, wearing Manchester City's shirts, they suddenly become Champions League junior brothers, and they are considered inexperienced......
Benitez thought it was funny.
If Manchester City fans don't have much experience of participating in the Champions League, that's normal.
However, apart from goalkeeper Joe Hart and right-back Richards, left-back Layton Barnes, and midfielders Matuidi and Gareth Barry, everyone else in the starting line-up is a Champions League veteran.
When it comes to Champions League experience, this team is not far from other ordinary teams participating in the Champions League, and it is far from being crushed by the opponent with experience.
Thinking about this, Benitez said: "There was always a pre-match story that we were playing in the Champions League for the first time, so we were inexperienced. I would say if they're talking about the name 'Manchester City', it's the first time in 40 years that they've been in the Champions League, but you, the players who make up Manchester City, that's not the case, a lot of you have a lot of experience in the Champions League and you've even won the title. How did it come to you that it became a lack of Champions League experience? ”
The players looked at their manager and that's a good statement. Many of them have played in the Champions League, and they are not hillbillies who don't know anything.
'In my opinion, we're not much different from Bayern Munich, remember what we've practiced in training and then play them in the game, and if you do that, I'm sure you can win. So, I don't think it's a memorable game, it's just a very ordinary Champions League group stage. But it's also a great opportunity to tell those who didn't think well of us before the game that Manchester City is no longer a good opportunity to be slaughtered! ”

Benitez didn't talk much, he went out and left the time for the players themselves.
After he left, Rongguang stood up as the captain, of course he had to say a few words.
But in fact, he only said one sentence.
After standing up, Rong Guang glanced around his teammates, his gaze resting on the faces of each teammate, whether he was a starter or a substitute.
"Until yesterday, our opponent thought that we were a weak team that could be bullied casually, so let's sue them, in fact, we are very strong!"
