Chapter 260: Heathfield's Decision (6400)
Despite Cologne's tight defence and the success of preventing his goal, Wing still had one successful assist and six successful dribbles in the game...... Of course, if you just look at the stats, you won't be able to fully understand how Rong performed in the game. Anyone who watched this game will be impressed by Rong's performance in the game, whether he has the ball or not, his speed is the biggest threat. Cologne could only foul him again and again, but it didn't work......"
On TV, Dearing, the host of the sports news on TV One, was giving the audience a brief overview of the results of several Bundesliga games this afternoon.
"Young's performance was like a slap in the face for Bayern Munich. Now I wonder if he did it on purpose, haha! ”
As Dearing laughed evilly, Heathfield turned off the television with a blank face.
Of course, he wants Bayern Munich's players to do well, but when it comes to glory, he's torn up.
Every time Glory performs well, those media will pull themselves out to criticize and ridicule.
Heathfield was shot again and again.
He originally thought that if he sent Rong Guang away, his troubles would be gone, and those damn Chinese media would never come to ask him very mentally retarded questions again.
But he didn't expect that Glory went to Werder Bremen to perform so well, making him look like a clown.
So the Chinese media stopped bothering him and replaced it with the German media......
What Heathfeld found most unacceptable was the unruly German media.
Who backed himself for five consecutive games not to give him a chance to make the 18-man squad?
It's these German media.
They put the Glory analysis on the ground, telling everyone that Heathfield was right not to let Glory in the squad, and they strongly supported Heathfield's wise decision. Those reporters who question what Rong Guang is not on the list are vexatious and amateur reporters who don't understand football. They even ridiculed Glory as a "parallel import".
And now?
In turn, it is they who tout glory and criticize the Heathfelds!
This made Heathfield particularly difficult to accept.
He felt as if he had been betrayed......
There are now two solutions.
One is to lead Bayern Munich to the league title.
As long as Bayern Munich can defend their title, then all the decisions made by Heathfield are wise.
Including lending Glory out of Lu.
But this approach is too long, and you will inevitably fall into the wave of media criticism until the end of the season. Unless the glory plays out of order in the next game, it is like sleepwalking, but this is obviously impossible to do.
Another way is to completely freeze and curb Glory in direct dialogue, lead Bayern Munich to defeat Werder Bremen, a direct competitor of the championship, and tell those wall-grass media that no matter how good Glory performs in Werder Bremen, he can beat him, and there is indeed no place for him in his team, because there are many stronger players to choose from, so Glory's outstanding performance has nothing to do with his loan out of Lu.
This solution is done once and for all. Football is a winner-takes-all sport, and if you beat Glory and Werder Bremen in direct dialogue, all the criticism will disappear.
Heathfield opened the schedule and looked for it.
Finally, his fingers rested on the table for the fifteenth round of the league.
On December 6, 2003, Werder Bremen hosted Bayern Munich.
This is it!
He gave a nudge on this matchup.
Then he got up and walked to the calendar, flipped it to December, and drew a circle on the date December 6 with a red marker, highlighting it to remind him that it was a special day.
On December 6, the fifteenth round of the league, let these controversies disappear completely, and let everyone return to calm......

In the eighth round of the league, Werder Bremen beat Wolfsburg 5-3 at home, and the glory still did not score in this game, but he won a penalty for his team and allowed a defender to be sent off with a red card.
When he burst into the box, the opposing defender Valdo Ponce pounced and knocked him to the ground, and the referee decisively blew a penalty and showed Ponce a red card.
In this regard, the players of Wolfsburg are very aggrieved, they think that it is just a reasonable collision, not an intentional foul at all, and Rongguang fell to the ground only because his body was too weak to bear.
The expression on Ponce's face made people want to cry when they saw it - an inexplicable expression of grief and indignation, which was very infectious.
But the referee was hard-hearted, and when he didn't see Ponce's expression, he insisted on his opinion.
In fact, Wolfsburg was originally on an equal footing with Werder Bremen on the pitch, and Werder Bremen, who were playing at home, did not have an advantage.
But this penalty and red card changed everything.
Valdo Ponce's departure upset the balance and Wolfsburg, who were missing a man, had to shrink their defence and were unable to continue to threaten Werder Bremen's goal.
But even so, they are also restrained in defending Glory - the first reaction to Glory in the penalty area is to raise their hands and signal to the referee that they have no hand movements. Such a defense is really not a deterrent.
In the end, Wolfsburg lost 3-5 away to Werder Bremen.
If it weren't for the two goals they scored before they were sent off, the score would have been even more ugly.
Werder Bremen are on an eight-game unbeaten run after beating Wolfsburg 5-3. Topped the list with twenty-two points.
On the other side, Bayern Munich looked like they were finally back on track after beating Hertha Berlin 4-1 at home to make it two wins in a row.
However, Bayern Munich, with only 17 points, are still a long way from first-placed Werder Bremen – they are five points apart.

After the morning training, Rong Guang practiced more for himself as usual, because there was still training in the afternoon, he did not go home, but chose to take a lunch break in the club, so that he would have more time to train and not waste all his time on the road.
His current training content is mainly to change the line with the ball.
He needs to combine his speed with dribbling.
I used to practice dribbling in a straight line in Lakeside Park in Brazil.
Now he needs to practice changing lines and dribbling the ball.
The improvement is that he doesn't have to run with a net tied to his ankle.
He placed several markers on the training ground, each of which was about seven or eight meters apart, and the markers were not arranged in a straight line, but in a broken line, like a snake, in a continuous Z-shape.
Glory needs to dribble from the first marker, stop and change direction when it reaches the second marker, and then rush to the next marker. Wait until the next marker is reached, and then stop and change direction.
Keep repeating this until you are very proficient in making a stop-and-go game, getting rid of your opponents, and at the same time being able to control the ball at your feet.
It's hard at first, because the distance between the markers is not too far, and if you go a little bigger, it's easy to rush through, and then you fail. Variations must be made at the time each marker is reached.
The most important thing is the use of the force of the emergency stop to change the direction of the ball, the force is large, and the speed is slow when the force is small.
It is necessary to find the most suitable way to exert power.
This kind of training is tiring, because it is all intense bursts, and the muscles are always in a state of high tension.
According to Florian's instructions, this kind of training glory should not be done too much at a time, otherwise it will completely become an endurance exercise, losing the effect of training speed. This exercise is more than enough to do seven or eight sets.
Although it was only eight sets of training, after practice, Rongguang was out of breath and sweating profusely.
After doing his best, he felt as if his knees were no longer his own, and they became extremely heavy.
Eight sets is a training ceiling summarized by Florian based on Rongguang's current explosiveness and muscular endurance. This is similar to force training, with an RM value. In the speed connection, Rongguang can only do eight groups with all his might. Even if he wanted to continue to do it, he was powerless.
After finishing the training, Rong returned to the locker room and prepared to take a shower and change clothes.
At this time, he found that there was still a person in the locker room.
It's Elton!
That Brazilian.
Because Elton is always targeting himself everywhere, Rongguang doesn't have a good impression of him, and the relationship between the two belongs to the kind that won't greet each other when they meet.
Of course, Elton won't say hello to Glory either.
It's just that both people treat each other like air.
The two men's poor relationship is no secret within the team, and it hasn't been mended by the indulgence of head coach Schaaf and general manager Alofs, intentionally or unintentionally.
So seeing Elton in the locker room, although the glory was strange, he still regarded the other party as air, bypassed Elton, and entered the bathroom in the locker room.
When he came out of the shower, he found Elton still sitting in his place. He just sat like that, and didn't do anything else, just sitting, as if in a daze.
Glory took a shower for about ten minutes, what was Elton's posture before he went into the bathroom, and what was Elton's posture when he came out.
Although he didn't understand what happened to Elton today, Rongguang still didn't plan to deal with the other party.
He walked past Elton to his closet and began to get dressed.
Just as he was getting dressed and about to leave, he heard Elton suddenly speak behind him like a statue.
"Hey, boy."
Glory's hand was already on the doorknob, and at this he looked back at Elton as he twisted the handle and opened the door.
"Tell me your bank card number and I'll transfer you money."
Rongguang was stunned for a moment.
