Chapter 57 Future
Although Hoffenheim ranks first in the league, few people were optimistic about them before the game. Many people, even football experts, believe that Bayern Munich will win, and the only difference is whether Bayern wins easily or difficultly.
No one guessed that Hoffenheim actually tied Bayern Munich at Allianz Stadium, and they performed well, so they even had a chance to win the game.
Rangnick was very happy at the post-match press conference. He said that this was a passionate game, and Hoffenheim set off a round after round of offensive climax. Both teams performed well, and it was a small regret that they did not win the game, but the draw was a fair result for both sides. "If I let Weis start, Chu Zhongtian plays the midfielder, maybe we will win? Haha!"
Klinsmann seemed very sorry: "What should I say? This is a fierce game... Hoffenheim was unintentionally the best opponent we met at Allianz Stadium. We had known that the game against them would not be easy, and the facts were the same... But I still think that if Tony hadn't wasted so many opportunities, we would have won long ago..."
After the game, Chu Zhongtian became the target of the media. He successfully freezes Ribery, assists the team's first goal, scores the team's second goal in person, and is selected as the best on the spot. After exchanging jerseys with Ribery, he was surrounded by the media.
"Say something, Chu? What do you think of tying Bayern at Allianz Stadium?"
Chu Zhongtian smiled and said, "This is what we deserve, I am very happy. We have determined this idea long ago, and then we realized it step by step in the game! I am very happy!"
"Isn't it a pity that I didn't beat Bayern Munich?"
"That's of course, we want to win any time, and it's a pity that we haven't won."
Chu Zhongtian became the focus of media pursuit, and the head coaches of both sides also mentioned the best of this game at the post-match press conference.
"Chu performed very well, and I want to congratulate him. In fact, when he transferred to Hoffenheim, he was under tremendous pressure. I know that in his motherland, many people expressed dissatisfaction and confusion about his transfer choice. The other 30 million worth also made him questioned. But he never complained and was not overwhelmed by this pressure. I have known him for two years, and I believe that my original choice was correct. This game proves this very well!" This is what Rangnick said.
Klinsman also praised Chu Zhongtian's performance: "He is a very good player. He makes us feel uncomfortable. I have to admit that Rangnick asked him to play the right forward to play, so much so that our pre-game arrangements were useless...I believe he will succeed in Hoffenheim."
The comments of these two head coaches made the Chinese media feel very happy, and few Chinese players can receive such praise. In the past, after players who went abroad performed well, the Chinese media said that foreign media would be scolded by the domestic and that the Chinese media were fantasizing themselves again. But I believe that they would repost the words of Rangnick and Klinsmann to the country, and no one would object to them.
Because everyone sees Chu Zhongtian's performance, as long as he is not blind or deaf, his IQ is normal to understand football, he should be clear that these praises are not produced and sold by the Chinese media.
After the interview, the audience stood in front of all the media's cameras and posed for them to take photos.
Under the cold winter pressure, he was still naked with his upper body, and a stream of white steam was emitted from his body. He gave a thumbs up with his hand, and the other hand was holding the jersey given to him by Ribery, the red Bayern home jersey.
As Rangnick said before the game: "What we want is Bayern's bloody scalp."
Of course, Hoffenheim could not really take off the scalp of Bayern players, but the jerseys in Chu Zhongtian's hands all have a symbolic meaning no matter how you look at it - red, blood, jerseys, scalp...※※After returning to the locker room, the players of the team were still cheering. They had not yet come back to their senses of the excitement of drawing Bayern away.
Because Chu Zhongtian was interviewed by reporters and was asked to take photos, he came back the latest. When he walked into the locker room, he received cheers from his teammates: "Welcome to the best in the whole game! The best in the whole game! Oh oh oh! The best in the whole game!"
Chu Zhongtian raised his arms and thanked his teammates.
It can be said that although Chu Zhongtian was the core of the team before, it was the coach's arrangement, and everyone had to accept it. Later, because Chu Zhongtian was really good, he felt that Chu Zhongtian was not a bad thing to be the core. However, it is not the consensus of the players to truly regard him as a member of Hoffenheim in terms of emotions. Many people in this team have followed Hoffenheim for two or even three years. They have a special relationship with this team. They think that Hoffenheim is like their home, and they will always be rejected by outsiders for a period of time. Even if they accept it, they will not be as close to the elderly.
But today Chu Zhongtian's ball completely broke the invisible barrier.
Everyone accepted Chu Zhongtian from the bottom of their hearts, even those like Salihovic who once had prejudices against Chu Zhongtian were no exception.
Because he fought for the team to the last moment and succeeded.
Unfortunately, they don’t have champagne here, otherwise Chu Zhongtian would have been poured into a chicken.
They had a long fuss until the head coach Rangnick, who was going to the press conference, came back and went to take a shower and gesture to get out.
When Chu Zhongtian opened his phone, he received many congratulatory messages from people, all congratulating him on his outstanding performance in the game and being the best text message in the game.
It was not the first time he was elected the best in the game, but this time it attracted so many attention.
All of this is thanks to live broadcasts from 167 countries.
Meili sent a text message to praise Chu Zhongtian for this. This was an excellent self-advertising. I believe the whole world should understand that Chu Zhongtian, who chose to transfer to a Bundesliga and promoted to a zebra, was not dead. He not only lived, but also lived well.
Xu Xiaodi's view is similar to Meili. He believes that Chu Zhongtian's outstanding performance in this game has improved Chu Zhongtian's image among those big brands. He plans to strike while the iron is hot and talk to those big brands about the commercial utilization of Chu Zhongtian's image.
The congratulations from parents are simple, which is to praise his son for his good performance and encourage him to continue working hard and not be complacent. In the eyes of his parents, no matter how famous Chu Zhongtian is or how much money he earns, he is still a child.
What made Chu Zhongtian happy was that he actually received a text message from Jean Fernandez: "Although you successfully freeze Frank on the wing, I still think you should develop in the middle and not go to the wing. The midfield and the middle are your territory, Chu."
The old coach still cares about himself, even though he is no longer playing football under him. Of course, he will not go to the wings and he does not want to play all positions on the court. He also prefers to play in the middle. This time he plays the right forward mainly to defend Ribery, which is only a temporary cameo. Moreover, Weiss performed very well in the defense of Ribery at the end of the game. I believe Coach Rangnick has also seen this. The next time he meets Bayern Munich, he should not let him defend Ribery on the wings. Weiss will take his gun.
Chu Zhongtian didn't reply to other people's text messages, and he specifically replied to Fernandez's text messages: "Thank you, coach. I won't go to the side, I like to be in the middle."
Yes, after more than 70 minutes of experience in the first game, he determined this idea. Although he successfully defended Ribery on the side, he had an assist and performed well. But he always felt that the situation was too small, and he couldn't perform well, and he was very stuffy. However, in the middle, the sea was wide and the sky was wide, and there was a sense of freedom and pleasure of "the sea was wide and the fish jumped, and the sky was high and the birds could fly". Only here he felt that he was in control of the overall situation, and he felt like a "chess player", and on the side, he felt more like a chess piece.
After reading the text message, Chu Zhongtian's teammates had finished packing up. Everyone got up and left the visiting team locker room of Allianz Stadium. Some people were reluctant to leave. This place left them with beautiful memories, of course they were reluctant to leave. If they lost the ball, I am afraid that everyone would not be reluctant to leave. I just wanted to leave early... Back on the bus, Chu Zhongtian's phone rang. It was Emily who called.
"I counted the time and thought it was almost time for you to finish your work, so I called. You played this game so wonderfully, my dear!"
"You're watching the game, Amy?"
"Of course, there are live broadcasts in the United States, okay? Do you know? After the game just ended, someone called me if Hoffenheim was the team where my boyfriend was! You are also famous in the United States!"
"Ha, but I don't think Americans will be interested for long."
"That doesn't matter. The person I like is a big star. I'm very happy! In addition, after the game, my mother's expression was very wonderful. Your goal stimulated her, haha!"
"Does your mother hate me more, or has she changed her opinion of me?"
"Then I can't say it right...but my mother's standards are very simple - to be nice to me, rich and famous. In my opinion, you meet them, hehe."
"Okay, I hope this is a good start..." Whenever Emily's mother Miranda was mentioned, Chu Zhongtian had a headache. He had never been afraid of anyone in his life, just two women, the first one was his mother, and the second one was Emily's mother.
Chu Zhongtian was always careful not to offend Ms. Miranda, just because he was worried about making her angry and making him dissatisfied with him. He knew that although Emily sometimes fucked her against her mother, she actually loved her mother very much. That was natural. Her father ran away with other women and left them to depend on each other for life. It would be wrong not to love her. So if she wanted to marry Emily, she would probably have to pass Miranda first. Emily would definitely not want to abandon her mother in order to be with her.
Eduardo and others, who had a lively personality, were still singing songs and cheering after getting on the car. This game was like a dream for Hoffenheim players. In the past, they never dared to think that they would tie the powerful Bayern Munich at the Allianz Stadium and almost won. When they were still in the second division, they had longed for the promotion that they would definitely play against Bayern. At that time, they had fantasized about who to exchange jerseys after the game was over.
After this game, most players got their jerseys from their favorite stars as they wished. Yes, although Hoffenheim players are professional players, they also have their favorite teams and stars. In addition to Hoffenheim, some like Bayern, some like Leverkusen, some like Barcelona and Manchester United. Five of the other teams are former Stuttgart youth team players, they all like Stuttgart - but this is not what they are chasing others' butts, but Bayern players come up to exchange with them. At the Allianz Stadium and in Bayern Munich territory, they won the respect of their opponents with their actual performance. This is more important than a draw.
Emily also heard the singing of Eduardo, Gustavo, Obasi and others on the other end of the phone. She smiled and asked, "Why, isn't your celebration over there yet?"
It happened that Eduardo, Gustavo, and Obasi jumped to Chu Zhongtian's seat. When he saw Chu Zhongtian holding a phone, he deliberately came up and sang louder. After singing a few words, he walked away and returned to their respective seats, but the singing still did not stop. Not everyone in the car sang along. After all, such an extroverted personality is not owned by everyone, but everyone is very happy and does not feel disturbed. Germans like Baker and Weiss are also talking and laughing. The atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Chu Zhongtian waited for them to leave and said to Emily: "How is it? Do you feel the enthusiasm of my teammates?"
Emily laughed over there: "I feel it. To be honest, your teammates are really good at singing! It seems that you are very happy there, so I feel relieved. Can I feel some changes... Is the door opened?"
Chu Zhongtian felt that Emily had a sympathy with him. "Yes, the door was opened, not only the door, but also the window." After this battle, his relationship with his teammates was completely harmonious. Now they are a complete whole, and they will work together for longer-term goals.
Just like he said to his teammates when he first came to the team: "Let's create a big scene together."
He is not joking or pretentious.
"Go back to the hotel and have a good rest. Have a day off tomorrow!" Rangnick was the last to get in the car. He announced the news, and all the players in the car raised their arms and cheered.
※※※Abel wandered outside the police station, unwilling to leave and dared not go in.
Daniel was caught in, and there were more than a dozen other people who went in with him, all of whom were caught in for fighting on the court.
He didn't know what Daniel would be like. But he found out that he had known Daniel for ten years, and for the first time he was worried about this fat man who always bullies him. But he didn't know what he was worried about, anyway, he was worried.
Maybe he was afraid that Daniel would scold him after being released, because he fought with others and was caught in the bureau?
The night gradually became deeper and the temperature dropped. Although Abel was wearing very thick clothes, his feet were frozen at this time, so he had to stamp his feet frequently and pace back and forth to prevent his feet from becoming stiff.
Hoffenheim's joy of drawing Bayern was not passed on to him at all. In the final stage of the game, his brain was basically in a "stop" state. He had no idea what was going on in the end.
He was not even sure how he found the police station.
Now he has time to recall the game. Chu Zhongtian scored a goal and he was really excited from the bottom of his heart, which also caused trouble. The song that cheered for Hoffenheim blurted out, but unexpectedly caused a riot in the stands. As a person who is often attacked verbally and physically, he felt that it was nothing if he was scolded at first, and it was even less nothing if he was pushed a few times. Anyway, he lowered his head and shrank his neck and let them vent. It would be fine if he finished venting.
Unexpectedly, Daniel would react fiercely, not only swearing at each other, but also fighting with them... For a moment, Abel himself didn't know why. He always thought Daniel would bully him with others... He thought that as long as Daniel didn't attack him, because it really hurts when he beats people, he doesn't care if he scolds him a few times.
Anyway, he is used to being bullied, so it doesn't matter anymore.
Abel waited until 10:40 in the evening, and before Daniel came out, he guessed that Daniel must have spent the night in the police station.
He could not stay any longer because it was too late to go home and his mother would definitely blame him.
He could only expect Daniel not to have anything to do, and then left the police station with his head down.
※※※On the night after the war, the players might still be caring or resting. Fans also dispersed from the stadium. The Allianz Stadium, which can accommodate 69,000 people, had already turned off the lights and fell into silence.
However, in the offices of various news agencies and media, the lights are still brightly lit.
The game gathered more than 300 journalists from all over the world. After the game, the news battle had just begun.
This is the most exciting game in the Bundesliga this season. Everyone has been exaggerating for so long before the game, and the process of this game has not disappointed the media. Now it is time to make him more exciting - this action naturally depends on the pen and mouth of the reporters.
There are too many topics to talk about, and there are too many things worth hyping.
Fans must be unwilling to just watch a game, and they want to know more.
The media also need to use all the surplus value of this game.
Marcel Leif, a famous football commentator who was responsible for commenting on the game, returned to his home after the game. He turned on his computer and prepared to write a commentary on the game for the "Kicker" magazine. This was the invitation for the kicker, but he also had a lot to say.
When he opened the document, he paused for a while, recalling the game that had just ended in his mind. The exciting scenes seemed to be still in front of him. When he closed his eyes, he could still hear the huge noise coming from the Allianz Arena.
He put his hand on the keyboard and started typing:
"David did not defeat Goliath, but David finally appeared..."
※※※Raubar, chairman of the German Professional League Committee and chairman of the Dortmund Club, watched the game on the spot. When he left the stadium, he muttered to the people around him: "Why didn't you come early in this game?"
The people around him laughed and said, "You wrote too early, Dr. Laubar."
Laubar shrugged at other people's jokes.
For more than a year, the league committee under Laubar has been negotiating a new broadcast contract with the broadcasters for the next season, and they only reached an agreement in November this year. The four-year broadcast contract for the League One and B were sold to four media organizations led by the premiere, with a total value of 1.65 billion euros.
Although Laubar was satisfied with this figure at the time, the gap between the two was still very obvious compared to the Premier League's 900 million pounds per season. Le Monde commented at the time: "Although we tried to package the Bundesliga into the most exciting football matches and sell them to the TV broadcasters and promote them to the world, we can only watch the English people's passionate and speed game with envy."
So now Laubar is complaining that this game came too late and that he signed it too early... If he watched this game, the broadcast fees for the Bundesliga and Bundesliga in the four years should be discussed... "It seems that we are going to re-create the Bundesliga promotional video..." He said to the people around him.
"I think so, this game is the best publicity for the Bundesliga."
※※Now, looking back at the beginning. When Hoffenheim suddenly rose because his boss was rich, he was full of criticism of them in Germany. Many people said that Hoffenheim's football model is disgusting, and they all hope that this team will be relegated as soon as possible.
German media generally believe that Hoffenheim, a football invested by money, is a provocation and insult to the German football tradition. Some people are worried that Hoffenheim will play a bad role model - in the future, many moguls will invest in those unheard-of-two teams, and then squeeze out old teams with historical heritage from everyone's sight. In short, everyone is worried that money will corrupt football.
Against this background, Hognistein, a columnist of the Guardian, said something, but at that time this sentence did not attract people's attention, and it was soon drowned in the Germans' criticism of Hoffenheim, a new force.
I wonder how many people will think of this sentence now?
——German football will soon find that Hoffenheim is not a threat, but their future.
