Chapter 561: Are You Ready?
The next day, the German media were talking about Jeremes's decision to retire, and the attention even exceeded the focus on glory for a while.
If Ma Kai saw this scene, I really don't know how Lu Dao would feel.
However, with Jeremes' status in Bayern Munich and German football, he definitely deserves such treatment.
Everyone was sorry for Jeremes' retirement, but there was nothing they could do.
Because in Bayern Munich's midfield, there is really no place for Jeremes.
There is Ballack, who has both offense and defense, and there is an organizational striker like Misimovic.
The sweeping midfielder also has Hargreaves.
Jeremes really can't play the main force in this Bayern Munich team.
Although in fact, with his level and age, he can still choose to play in other teams for a few more years, and it is not impossible to play until he is 36 years old.
But Jeremes is very loyal to Bayern Munich, and he is not willing to play for another team, so he simply chooses to retire.
This is somewhat embarrassing.

And just when everyone was sighing for Jeremes's sudden announcement of retirement.
Jeremes was waiting in the locker room at the training base.
Everyone is gone, but he is still sitting in his place.
Karn was the last to leave the locker room after him, and he turned to look at Jeremets.
"I'll wait for him." Jeremes said.
Karn was silent, nodded, pushed the door open and walked out.
Jeremes just sat in the locker room and waited.
Half an hour later, Rongguang pushed open the door to the locker room, and was surprised to find that Jeremes was still inside.
"Huh? Belch...... Didn't you go, Jens? Rongguang was surprised.
"Well, I didn't go." Jeremes nodded.
After Glory greeted him, he went straight to his closet, ready to change his clothes and take a shower.
It was then that he heard Jeremes say behind him, "Boy, are you ready?" ”
Rongguang's hand, which had just taken off half of his clothes, stopped there.
"The veterans are leaving, and Bayern Munich is really going to be in the hands of young people like you. It's a very, very great team with a long, great history. Now, the burden of leading this team forward is on your shoulders, are you ready? ”
Jeremes finished speaking, and just looked at the glory.
Glory took off his clothes, revealing his muscles, then he turned around and smiled at Jeremes.
"What are you talking about, Jens. I'm here to win the championship! ”
"Champions League winners." He added.
Hearing Rong say this, Jeremes was stunned for a moment at first, and then he grinned, laughing happily, and simply laughed out loud when he reached the end.
"Young...... That's nice! ”
He got up with a smile, said this, and left the locker room with a smile.

Not long after Jeremes announced his retirement at the end of the season, another veteran, Lizarazu, also announced that he would retire at the end of the season.
For a while, two veterans announced their retirement one after another, which made people feel that an era of Bayern Munich was coming to an end.
As Jereme said when he announced his retirement, it's time for the old guys to make room for the youngsters.
"A new generation is underway, and Bayern Munich is starting to change blood." The German newspaper Bild commented. 'It's always brutal, but that's football, and every year something like this happens in every team. Thankfully, Jeremes plays for Bayern Munich, not Werder Bremen. Even if the old guys leave, Bayern Munich will not worry about their results, because they have young people like Jung, Lucas, Misimovic, and the middle generation of Ballack ......"
And then it seems to be to ease the parting feelings of the fans.
FC Bayern Munich has finally announced what has actually been determined for a long time.
That's the official renewal of the contract of Glory and Ballack and the club!
"We are delighted that the two of them were able to sign the contract extension. You know, every contract renewal negotiation is not that easy......" Hoeness told reporters below at a press conference.
Compared with the news of Jeremes's retirement, there were obviously more reporters who came to the scene this time.
Sure enough, everyone is still a little "like the new and hate the old".
Glory and Barak sat beside Hoeness.
"I think these two contract extensions are significant. Allowing Bayern Munich to maintain a stable squad for the next few years will boost our competitiveness in Europe......"
Bayern Munich's general manager Hoeness is not talking about competitiveness in the league, for Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga is its own backyard, and the championship is like grapes on the vine, which can be eaten as much as you want - with the exception of the first two seasons.
Bayern Munich, as the symbol and flag of German football, is the most competitive team in European competition, so it is natural to have their eyes on the Champions League.
The renewal of Ballack and Rongguang is both eyeing the Champions League.
Next is the interview session with reporters.
Both Rongguang and Barak received a "warm greeting" from the reporters.
As for Ballack, there have been rumors that he is leaving Bayern Munich, going to Barcelona, going to Real Madrid, going to Chelsea...... Many European giants have been associated with his name.
Ballack said at the press conference that it was all rumors, that he had never thought of leaving Bayern Munich, that he was very happy to renew his contract with Bayern Munich, and that he hoped to lead Bayern Munich back to the glory he had lost.
This is actually a trick that professional players use.
Before the contract was renewed, rumors were flying all over the place, in fact, they were not necessarily rumors, many of them were true, and those clubs did have private contact with the player's agent, and the player must have known about it.
However, once he renews his contract with the team and gets a contract that he is satisfied with, he naturally can't admit that he has contacted other teams in private, so as to blackmail his current owner......
This will cause the fans to be dissatisfied. At such times, of course, it is necessary to show loyalty.
And Glory doesn't have so many fancy intestines.
Before he renewed his contract with Bayern Munich, there were also news from some teams and him. However, they were all rejected by Rongguang, who at that time wanted to prove himself again in Bayern Munich, the so-called "get up from where you fall".
When asked by a reporter why he chose to renew his contract with Bayern Munich, his answer was very simple: "For what?" Because I want to succeed here. ”
A reporter asked: "Then what kind of results do you think is successful?" ”
"Champions, there must be champions." Rongguang said.
The words are not pretty, but they are full of confidence.
But when Rong Guang said this, the reporters had no way to refute or express disdain.
Because people have this confidence and qualifications.
In two seasons at Werder Bremen, which brought three important titles to Werder Bremen, it is only normal for such a person to come to Bayern Munich and say that he wants to win the championship......
At the end of the press conference, Rong Guang stood with Ballack, Hoeness and Magath, holding their jerseys and letting reporters take pictures.
The subsequent news in the newspaper Bild was headlined with the following words: "The self-renewal of the dynasty".
In the comments of other media on this matter, they are also very optimistic about this contract renewal.
As Ballack progresses to the better of Bayern Munich's squad and becomes more and more like a central player, his stay is definitely what everyone wants to see.
And the cancellation of the contract renewal clause between Glory and Bayern Munich has also relieved many Bayern Munich fans - they don't want a club to easily take Glory away with a check for 50 million euros one day in the future.
Maybe 50 million is sky-high, but in the hearts of Bayern Munich fans, glory is priceless.
He has already conquered discerning Bayern fans with his actual performances.
The media believes that Hoeness's two contract renewals have solved Bayern Munich's worries, and can even be regarded as Bayern Munich's most important signing this year - "The renewal of these two people is completely top of the four new signings!" ”
Bayern Munich fans also welcomed the two successful contract extensions.
Before that, one of the main concerns of Bayern Munich fans was Ballack's contract renewal, and one was the contract break clause of Glory.
When the club officially announced that the two men had successfully renewed their contracts and that there was no breach clause in the renewal of the Glory Honor's contract, fans rejoiced to express their excitement on Bayern Munich's official website.
It's like celebrating the New Year......
However, when some media revealed other details of Rongguang's contract renewal, different voices appeared.
Because Glory's annual salary is as high as five million euros!
And that's after taxes!
The tax rate in Germany is as high as 45 percent, which means that the annual salary of Glory before tax is 9.09 million!
Even if Zhilu Dao Rongguang performed very well, it was very inappropriate to take the previous annual salary of one million euros. But now this annual salary is too exaggerated, right?
Although Ballack's annual salary of nine million after tax is also exaggerated, it is only a two-year contract, and everyone habitually thinks that Ballack is reasonable to take this price, after all, he is the captain of the German national team, the core player of Bayern Munich, and the only remaining world-class star in Germany. In the German national team, in addition to goalkeeper Kahn, it is Ballack. Kahn has been stripped of the captain's armband by manager Jurgen Klinsmann, and it would not be too much to say that Ballack is the biggest superstar in German football.
But Rong ...... No matter how good his performance is, after all, he is still young, and he has only played football in Europe for two and a half seasons, so he will get this annual salary.
So what do you do after that?
If Bayern Munich renews the contract with Rongguang again, will it be possible that Rongguang will also get the same annual salary as Ballack?
It's exaggerated, it's incredible!
