Chapter 237: The Confusion of Young People (4300)
"I'm sorry to tell you, with your current abilities, you can't make it to my squad yet. So you're going to play very little for at least the first half of the season. ”
Heathfield's words were like a hammer to Glory's heart.
He thought about a lot of possibilities, and he would be scolded by the manager.
But he didn't expect such an outcome.
The foreboding in his heart did not become a reality, but the reality became more ominous than he thought.
"In order to maintain your form, I plan to arrange for you to play in the regional league with the reserve team, although it is an amateur competition, but there are many professional players who will stay in shape in it, so ......"
What Heathfield said next, Glory didn't listen at all, he was struck by the "amateur".
Amateur competitions?
Let me play amateur games?
Let me, the player who won the Copa Libertadores, play amateur matches?!
Rong Guang felt that this world had become unreal.
Is this true?
Is this really something that could happen?
I came to Bayern Munich for $7 million, not to play amateurish!
Glory came back to his senses, and Heathfield seemed to be still talking, but Glory didn't bother to wait for him to finish, and he couldn't wait to make his voice heard.
Can you ask my opinion when you decide my future?
"Coach." He interrupted Heathfield's words with a loud voice. "I know my own problems, my physical ability is not good, my body is not strong enough, I keep conceding goals in training and games...... But I assure you, in ......"
Rongguang originally wanted to say that before the start of the new season of the league, but when he thought that there were only twenty days before the start of the league, the coach would definitely not believe it if he said so.
So he took that time a little more relaxed.
'By September 1, I'm sure I'll be up to the standard to play in the first team!'
Heathfield shook his head: "I believe that with your rate of progress, you will definitely be the main player of Bayern Munich in the future, but ......"
Rongguang repeated what he had just said: "I promise you, coach, I promise you, I can definitely do it!" Now, allow me to train. ”
With that, he got up to say goodbye and turned to leave the head coach's office.
Heathfield was not born, nor did he say anything, but just watched the glory go away.
He shook his head as Glory closed the door.
This megalomaniacal boy......
Want to make up for your deficiencies in more than a month?
I'm afraid it's not as easy as you are......
Heathfield didn't take the glorious words to heart.
He'll still do what he wants.
Glory can't get too many appearances at Bayern Munich.
The competition in the midfield is so fierce, there is no reason for him to give a hairy boy who is not yet used to European football a chance to play, otherwise what do the other midfielders think?
Sauer, Barak, Ze Roberto, Salihamidzic...... What will these big names and veterans think?
From the perspective of locker room stability, it is impossible for him to give Rongguang any chance to play.
From a purely competitive point of view, Heathfield also doesn't believe that Glory can help the team, he still trusts the old guys more.
Young people, inexperienced, unreliable......
※※※
When Rongguang came out of the manager's office, he didn't go back to the locker room, but went straight to the team's gym. He wants to continue the strength training plan that the physical trainer has developed for him.
But at the door of the gym, he met two teammates.
It was the same two men he met on his first day at the team, as he later became known, one was Schweinsteiger, nicknamed "Little Pig", and the other was Philip Lahm, both young players about his age.
However, Rongguang didn't have a deep relationship with them, and when he saw the two of them standing at the door, he nodded at them, which was considered to be a greeting, and then wanted to bypass them and walk into the gym.
But he was stopped.
"Rong." Schweinsteiger shouted.
Glory paused to look at him, "Is there something wrong, Bastian?" Glory doesn't belong to him, so he didn't call him "Schwein" like other teammates, that is, "little pig".
"This ...... What did the manager tell you to say? I know it's presumptuous to ask, but Philip and I want to know because you know too, and Philip and I are also worried about our ......place in the team," explains Schweinsteiger, who worries that Glory thinks he's here to find fault.
Ram gave him a gentle push from behind, which means you explain to him so much what to do......
Rongguang didn't think in the direction that Schweinsteiger was worried about, and after being said by the head coach just now, he always had a breath in his heart and wanted to vent it.
Schweinsteiger's question only provided him with an opportunity to talk.
So he said everything the manager said to him.
Schweinsteiger and Ram, who were on the other side, were dumbfounded.
"Amateur competition?" Ram was shocked.
Although he also feels that with Rongguang's current performance, it is a little difficult to play in the first team, but it is too ruthless to let him play amateur games directly, right?
"I knew what my problem was, so I told the coach and I promised to meet his requirements by September 1."
The jaws of the two people on the opposite side were about to drop.
"Are you crazy?!" Ram blurted out, revealing what was really in his heart.
"September 1st? Only a month and a ...... It's been six days! Schweinsteiger also thinks it's impossible.
"If I don't want to play amateur games, is there any other way?" Rong Guang asked the two rhetorically.
The two men fell silent.
With Rongguang's current ability, there is indeed no other way to do it better than hard training.
"So I'm going to train, see you later." Glory waved at them, and was about to leave.
Ram raised his hand and wanted to say goodbye to Rongguang, but Schweinsteiger went to stop him: "Rong, do you know why you often conceded goals in today's intra-team game?" ”
Ram and Glory looked at Schweinsteiger at the same time. Ram was surprised, and Glory was puzzled: "Isn't it because I don't have enough ability to fight?" ”
Schweinsteiger shook his head: "That's just one of the reasons, there is another very important reason, you can't practice in the gym." I haven't seen you play in Sao Paulo, but I can see some of your habits when you played in Brazil. For example, you don't look at your surroundings before you receive the ball, and you don't play much without the ball. When you're not on the ball, it's like you're disappearing on the pitch...... These are the conclusions I came to in the afternoon game. ”
This time, Rong Guang was surprised with Ram, and he looked at Schweinsteiger with his mouth wide open.
'It's a game in the Bundesliga that is faster than Brazil's, that's for sure, the defenders here don't let you stop the ball and come up and press you, they do everything they can to entangle you before you catch the ball. So if you catch the ball and decide what to do next, it's already too late. You have to be faster than all of them, not in terms of speed, but in terms of reactions, in terms of pace. When you're always ahead of your opponents, they can't stop you. When you're playing, you have to think about what you're going to do before you catch the ball......"
Glory listened to Schweinsteiger's words and suddenly thought of the final of the Copa Libertadores.
Didn't Boca Juniors have a player who followed them in the first leg? He went wherever he went, and he didn't let himself catch the ball properly at all.
Except for the physical confrontation ability, which is not as good as what he felt in the team game in the afternoon, the other person is not weak.
At that time, the game had just begun, and I was forced to be embarrassed by him.
In order to get rid of him, he used all kinds of tricks, ran more than before, and the speed of his feet was faster......
Oh, that's what it feels like!
He admits that Schweinsteiger was right when he played in Brazil, not every game was 100 per cent focused, and there were times when he slackened and slowed down.
Even when the opponent is too weak, he will not be able to lift his energy.
Judging by his experience of training with the team during this time...... The pace here is really much faster!
To play here, you have to be prepared to be nervous for every second of the game, to give it your all and to give it your all.
It's tiring, but it's ......
Why did you come to Europe?
In addition to being able to make more money here, there is another important reason why the opponents here are stronger.
Playing in such an environment is something I have always dreamed of!
Rong Guang hadn't realized this problem before, but when Schweinsteiger said this, he suddenly realized that he had a feeling of empowerment.
What he wants to change is perception, habits.
But Glory has faith in himself.
In order to be able to play better, what is the point of changing concepts and good habits?
Glory thought so, realizing how much Schweinsteiger had helped him.
"That...... Thank you, Bastian. You've helped me so much......"
"Hi Rong, you can call him 'Little Pig'. That's what we all call him, aha! Before Schweinsteiger could speak, Ram next to him preemptively spoke.
Schweinsteiger glared at Ram.
Rongguang thought both of them were quite interesting, so he also said: "You can call me 'rookie', in Brazil, that's what they call me anyway." ”
"You're called a 'rookie'?" Schweinsteiger was surprised, he thought that the nickname "Little Pig" was ugly enough, but he didn't expect that there were other people with even weirder nicknames......
Ram was also surprised that the nickname of the Chinese genius that everyone was talking about turned out to be ...... "rookie"!
"yes, because I've only been learning football for a year and a half, they all think I'm a 'rookie'." Rongguang doesn't feel shy at all when he talks about his black history.
"You're all rookies, so what are we......" Schweinsteiger was speechless.
Many years later, when Schweinsteiger, who was already a German international and a famous football star, recalled the conversation between him and Rongguang, he couldn't help but laugh: "I hated the nickname 'Little Pig' at first, and I thought it was an insult to me personally. But when I met Rong, I found out that his nickname was 'Rookie'! I thought to myself – oh my God, there would be anyone willing to accept such a nickname! But then I learned that nicknames don't mean anything at all, my name is 'Little Pig', but I'm not really a pig, right? And Rong is called a 'rookie', but in fact, he is not a 'rookie' at all...... If you're deceived by his nickname, you're out of luck on the pitch! ”
Ram, who was interviewed next to him, nodded and said: "'Little Pig' is right, Rong is the most powerful 'rookie' I have ever seen!" ”
※※※
But now, when Glory is on top of them, Ram is asking Schweinsteiger, "What do you think, piggy?" What do you think will help and support your competitors? ”
Schweinsteiger spread his hands: "We are not competitors. ”
"Huh?" Ram is weird. "Why not, aren't you all midfielders?"
Schweinsteiger shook his head and said, "I feel so. I can't catch up with him...... I'm more concerned about what the coach thinks of us than that, and what are we going to do if Lian Rong has to play amateur games, Philip? ”
Lahm also frowned: "I was hesitant before, but now I have made a decision, I want to go out on loan and go to a team that is willing to give me more chances. What about you, 'Piggy'? ”
Schweinsteiger shook his head bitterly: "I...... I don't know ......."
In a star-studded team, young players are inevitably confused, and no one is a prophet of the future.
To stay or to get out of the way is like Hamlet's "to live or to die", which is really a question......
