Chapter 324: Warm-up (First Update)
Werder Bremen's victory in the German Cup is not a sensational news.
The German media only followed for one day, and then they turned their attention to the 32nd round of the league three days later.
This is true even for the local media in Bremen.
At this time, everyone's mind is on the league.
As Heathfield thought, when the league and the cup are put together, which is important, 95% of people will not hesitate to choose the league.
The league is the foundation of a country's football, and the cup is just a foil.
If you value the cup title and lose the league title, it must be a stupid thing to do in the eyes of many people.
Generally speaking, teams that are capable of competing for the league title do not take the cup game seriously, and the cup competition is often sacrificed. Therefore, the national cups are the hotbed of underdogs.
The main reason is that the mid-table teams pay more attention to the cup, and that is also because the cup is another way to Europe in addition to the league, and this road is much easier to follow than the league.
So if Werder Bremen won a cup and got carried away, it would be ridiculed.
This year's Werder Bremen are capable of competing for the league title, and it is too low-end to get carried away with a cup title.
If, as usual, the German Cup final is the last match of the season, the local media in Bremen don't mind hyping it for a week.
But the idle and miscellaneous are followed by the decisive battle to decide the league championship, and no one is in the mood to discuss the games that have ended at this time.
Look forward and see greater glory.
※※※
It was the same with Bayern Munich, who were talking about the decisive battle on the second day of the game.
No one cares about losing a championship.
At this time, they showed extraordinary tolerance towards Heathfield.
If this had been in the first half of the season, Heathfield would not have been able to calm the media outrage without resigning......
The team's excellent performance in the second half of the season, and after losing the German Cup final, Heathfield's appearance of comforting the players on the pitch added a lot of points to him.
Even the harsh media couldn't bear to hurt him at this time.
Of course, this does not mean that the media will completely let him go.
They're just waiting for an opportunity.
There are still three days to go, anyway.
By the time the thirty-second round of the league was over, it was clear whether it was time to tout Heathfield or send him to hell.
※※※
At the pre-match press conference, a war of words between the two sides began first.
The media from Bremen wanted to embarrass Heathfeld and he asked about the German Cup final.
"Losing to Werder Bremen in the German Cup final, does that put pressure on you and give Werder Bremen a psychological advantage?"
Heathfield showed his toughness.
Not to be outdone, he responded: "I don't understand that there will be a mental advantage for what is going on. There is no logic in a game and if they beat us in the last game, it doesn't mean they will win this game for sure. There is no logical relationship to this. On the contrary, I am confident that I will beat Werder Bremen. Because they weren't fit enough to play two high-intensity games in a row in four days. ”
As soon as Heathfield said this, the Bremen reporters who were waiting to see the joke did not know what to say.
Because Heathfield spoke of their weakness.
Fitness is indeed Werder Bremen's biggest problem.
In the final moments of the German Cup final, the players of Werder Bremen fell to the ground with cramps one after another, and I am afraid that there was not much performance in it......
This speaks volumes about Werder Bremen's predicament.
If the intensity of the German Cup final continues...... It's hard to say if Werder Bremen will be able to hold on for 90 minutes!
※※※
On the same day, a number of media outlets reported on Heathfield's pre-match press conference.
"Heathfield wasn't afraid of Werder Bremen because 'they're bored!' ”
"Werder Bremen's physical fitness has become their biggest weakness"
"A number of Werder Bremen players in the German Cup final have cramps and are suspected of being physically exhausted?"
The Munich media desperately reported the negative news about Werder Bremen, exaggerating Werder Bremen's fitness problems, making everyone think that Werder Bremen could not even make up the starting lineup of 11 men......
What can the Bremen media hype up on their side?
Let's talk about glory.
Give you the grievances between Kopp Glory and Heathfield, and tell you how Glory came to Werder Bremen.
Then, from all angles, he taunted Heathfield and Hoeness in different ways.
“…… What surprised me was that when Bayern Munich negotiated Young's loan contract with Werder Bremen, they didn't include restrictions in it, such as not allowing Wing to play in the game against Bayern Munich...... Come to think of it, at that time, Bayern Munich didn't take Rong seriously at all, and didn't think that Rong could threaten them, especially in such a short period of time......"
"I think if Werder Bremen win the league title, the first person to thank is Heathfield, if it wasn't for his insistence on loaning Glory out, how could we have had this season? The second person to be thanked for is Hoeness......"
The war of words between the two sides was very lively in the media.
※※※
There are also a lot more media outlets that come to the training base to cover Glory.
Especially the Chinese media.
In fact, the match is not only in the spotlight in Germany, but also in the whole of China.
If nothing else, Werder Bremen win the league title, then Rongguang will be the first Chinese player to win the top five league titles.
That's a great honor.
And this is not mixed with soy sauce, but by his own strength, he spelled it out alive. Werder Bremen's league championship can be said to have a lot of credit to the glory.
Of course, the prerequisite for the league title is to beat Bayern Munich away from home.
In order to cover this game, many domestic media have sent reporters to Germany.
China Central Television (CCTV) even had a commentator come to the game to explain the game - in the past, only international competitions such as the World Cup and the European Cup had commentators come from China to commentate on the game.
The fact that a Bundesliga game has enjoyed such treatment fully shows how much importance the country attaches to this game.
Many media outlets believe that this is the "battle of Tianwang Mountain" in the Bundesliga this season.
Now, after each training session, Rong Guang is surrounded by a group of Chinese journalists who are interviewed and asked questions.
In addition to Chinese journalists, there are also many German journalists.
He has become the favourite player in the Werder Bremen squad.
No one will be surprised or jealous of this. Any player who gets along with Glory will understand that he has today's scenery and fully deserves it.
This thing is not jealous, because no one can withstand the intensity of training like Glory, day after day, it seems that he does not know what it means to rest.
This kind of training can simply wipe out the whole love of a teenager who loves football.
But the glory did not.
"Scored a goal at the Stadio Olimpic, will you celebrate?" A Chinese reporter asked.
"Yes, why not?"
"If you help Werder Bremen beat Bayern Munich and win the league title, will you worry about not being able to go back to Bayern Munich?" Molly also asked a question.
Rongguang was stunned for a moment.
He hadn't reacted yet.
What does it have to do with leading Werder Bremen to defeat Bayern Munich to win the championship and not being able to return to Bayern Munich?
"Uh, what's there to worry about?"
Glory answered the question in a daze.
On the way home, Rongguang asked Debola while driving: "If I scored a goal at Bayern Munich's home stadium and helped Werder Bremen win the championship, will I not be able to go back to Bayern Munich?" ”
Debora wondered why there was such a problem.
"It was Molly who asked." Rongguang said honestly.
"Oh...... There won't be any problems. The better you perform, the more Bayern Munich want you back. It's the case in football, where a player who is a fancier on a team meets that team in a game, and he tends to do really well and help his team beat the team that is interested in him, and then the team that is interested in him will eventually make up their minds to buy him......"
Debora explained to Glory.
Glory was an eye-opener to hear - and there were such cases!
After listening to Debola's explanation, Glory's fighting spirit became even stronger.
"Then I'm going to have to work harder to score goals! I'm going to put on a good show in front of Bayern Munich! Then when my lease expires, they will have to call me back! ”
The glory of driving the car freed his hands, clenched his fists and waved.
If Uli Hoeness had heard Gloria talk to him, they would have been tempted to say to Glome, "We never intended to let you go!" ”
Debora explained some work to Rongguang on the way.
"I was contacted by your Chinese state television station today."
"National television?" Rongguang didn't react at first, but his mind turned around twice before he realized that what Debora said must be CCTV. "You mean CCTV?"
"Well, it's CCTV."
"What are they looking for from you?"
"They want to work with you on a deep level, first of all, they want to be able to do a TV interview with you at the end of the season. In China. ”
Rongguang didn't care about the media, he waved his hand: "It's all handed over to you, you can watch it." Just tell me where to go. ”
Debora nodded, "So...... I'm going back to China with you in the summer. ”
Rong Guang was stunned for a moment after hearing Debola's words, and then he said, "Okay, China welcomes you." However, I'm going back to Brazil first, I'm going to see Godot and my friends, I've broken my promise several times, and this time I must go anyway! ”
