Chapter 235 Intense Competition

Although Rongguang spent 700 million U.S. dollars to Bayern Munich, so far, it is regarded as Bayern Munich's most expensive transfer introduction this summer.

For the time being, it can be regarded as Bayern Munich's current transfer bid king...

But such a "standard king" don't want to enjoy the treatment of a real star.

Rong Guang's transfer to join, apart from media reports, there is no news.

No press conferences, no fan meetings.

Nothing, Rong Guang just quietly joined the Bundesliga giants.

※※※

This is the first day of the team's training camp. Bastian Schweinsteiger, who is not yet 19 years old, came to the training ground early.

He wants to hurry up and warm up before the team reports, hoping to leave a good impression on coach Hitzfeld in the physical test for a while.

Although he replaced Bayern Munich's first team in the UEFA Champions League last November, he is still worried about his future in the team.

He was joined by his youth team friend Philip Lahm.

Both have the same idea.

This summer, Bayern Munich signed a large number of signings, which made them feel tremendous pressure.

The competition for the first team is getting stronger and stronger, and they don't know whether they can still get a chance to play in the first team.They had to work harder in training to impress Hitzfeld.

The two came to the training ground with such an idea, and found that there were already people on the training ground!

Schweinsteiger and Ram looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes—someone came earlier than them!

The man is running in circles with a soccer ball on the training ground.

"It's that Chinese, your competitor..." Lahm recognized it at a glance.

Schweinsteiger later recognized it too.

Both are midfielders, so they are naturally "competitors", although their positions are not exactly the same.

It is said that the Chinese play the attacking midfielder, while Schweinsteiger plays the full-back.

However, in Bayern Munich's first team, the competition for the midfield position is the biggest. Including Rong Guang, there are eleven people in total, and eleven people compete for three to four positions, which is almost a two-thirds elimination rate.

Anyone can be someone else's competitor.

Moreover, Schweinsteiger and Rongguang are about the same age, so there will naturally be more comparisons.

Schweinsteiger himself made the comparison.

The Chinese player who joined from Sao Paulo, Brazil, is said to be a genius and a figure who won the Copa Libertadores.The club had to pay 700 million for breaking the contract before bringing him from Brazil.

Such a player is obviously a strong competitor.

"I thought we were all early, but I didn't expect that there were others earlier than us. That kid... really worked hard!" Even Ram couldn't help admiring. "I read in the newspaper that this person only studied football for a year and a half, and became a main player in Sao Paulo... I still don't believe it. How could someone improve so fast? But now, I believe it..."

Before he finished speaking, Lahm found that Schweinsteiger next to him had started to warm up.

"Hey! You're so fast!"

"Come on, don't waste time, Philip." Schweinsteiger said in a muffled voice.

Ram looked at the Chinese genius, and then at his friend.

Has the fierce competition already begun...

※※※

Rong Guang also noticed that after him, two more people came.

Sure enough, Europe and Brazil are different!

Seeing this scene, Rong Guang sighed in his heart.

In Sao Paulo, he was the first to come to the team for training. Generally, he would have to train for more than half an hour before the No.1 teammate changed his jersey and came to the training ground. But he did not come for additional training, but the normal training time of the team is coming soon...

And in Bayern Munich, he had only been here for 10 minutes, and someone came to practice extra, and there were two people!

Well, you can't lose to them in Europe!

Rong Guang trained harder...

※※※

So when Bayern Munich's first-team players strolled to the training ground with the mentality of being on vacation, they found that there were already three figures who were training hard on the training ground.

"What's going on here?"

"That's Piggy and Philip, and who's the other one?"

"Didn't you watch the news? It's the Brazilian genius who joined the team..."

"Brazilian genius? Didn't you say he was Chinese?"

"Oh, yes, yes, it's Chinese..."

"Have the three of them started training yet?"

A group of first-team stars huddled together, whispering and discussing the anomalous scene.

Soon the coaches of the first team also discovered this scene.

"Young people this year are exceptionally motivated!" laughed assistant coach Michelle Henke.

"Yes, yes. I hope they can set a good example for those stars..." The coaches beside him also agreed.

However, Heathfield did not join this discussion. He stared at the three young people who looked like no one else, with a blank expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

※※※

Although Rong Guang worked hard in training, his coaches and teammates were amazed by how hard he trained.

But the progress of integrating into the team has not been as easy as he thought.

During physical fitness and strength training, Bayern Munich's physical fitness coach Schmidt Lein discovered a big problem with Rongguang.

"His strength is clearly lacking," he told coach Hitzfeld. "He is so thin, it is conceivable that physical confrontation on the court must not be what he is good at."

Hitzfeld looked down at the score Schmidtline had given himself on the strength test.

Rong Guang is the lowest ranked team.

Assistant coach Michel Henk also saw the result: "This score... I really doubt if he is a professional player, he is too thin!" He looked surprised.

Hitzfeld smiled: "Don't make a fuss, Michelle. You just know it now? I knew it when I saw his game video."

"So what?" asked assistant coach Henk.

"Give him a new recipe and training plan, let him do it strictly according to the above. Then look at it." Heathfield said.

※※※

The situation did not improve immediately, after all, gaining muscle and strength is not a matter of a few days.

And when the team ended their physical and strength training and started tactical training, Rongguang exposed new problems.

That is that he seems very uncomfortable with the rhythm of European football.

In intra-team games, he can barely hold the ball.

Just after receiving the ball, before he could adjust, the opponent came forward, and then combined with physical confrontation, the ball at his feet was lost without any suspense.

In the game, he often needs to spend more time to adjust the football, but the opponent will not give him this opportunity.

Rongguang lost the ball frequently and played very poorly.

The coaches watching all shook their heads.

"He's too slow..." Henke, the high-spirited assistant coach who had praised Rongguang for his hard work before, shook his head and frowned.

Of course he didn't mean that Rongguang's speed was slow. In fact, Rongguang's speed had shocked the entire Bayern Munich team-in the Bayern Munich team, no one could run faster than Rongguang.

By slow he means the pace of the game is slow.

"The rhythm of European football is faster than that of South American football." Heathfield next to him said looking at Rong Guang who kept conceding the ball on the field. "He has not yet adapted to the rhythm of European football. This is just a team training match, not even a warm-up match. His problems will be more serious and thoroughly exposed in the official game."

"So what?" Hank asked.

"After the training is over, let him go to my office." After Heathfield finished speaking, he turned to look at the other players, and no longer paid attention to Rongguang's training performance.

Henk sighed.

In fact, he quite likes this kid who trains hard, but Heathfeld is right, this kid has too many problems, and they are all fatal. When it comes to the official competition, he will perform even worse.

After the training, the team disbanded. Rong Guang originally planned to go to the gym of the training base to conduct additional training according to the training plan given to him by the physical fitness coach, but he was stopped by the assistant coach Henk.

"The manager asked you to go to his office," Henk said.

Rong Guang didn't know why, but he obediently looked for it.

Knocking on the door, Heathfeld was sitting behind his slightly messy desk. Seeing Rong Guang coming in, he didn't get up, but directly motioned Rong Guang to sit on the sofa next to him.

After sitting on it, Rong Guang asked, "You tell me something is wrong, coach?"

"Yeah." Heathfield nodded, and then said. "Are you still doing strength training?"

Rong Guang replied: "Yes, I was planning to go just now..."

Heathfield nodded again, not letting Rong Guang continue. "In the team game just now, I noticed that you conceded the ball frequently."

When Rong Guang heard this, his heart skipped a beat—the head coach is here to criticize his rhythm!
He quickly straightened his body, wanting to explain a little to himself.

But Heathfield shook his head and didn't give Rong Guang this chance. He said directly: "It is undeniable, Rong, you are very talented, especially your speed, which shocked us all..."

The more Rong Guang listened to it, the more ominous he felt.

Generally speaking, the more you praise someone in this way, the more likely there will be a turning point later.

Sure enough, right after this sentence, Heathfeld said immediately: "But."

At this time, the last thing Rong Guang wanted to hear was such a "but".

The ominous premonition in his heart became more and more clear...

"You also know that in the team's first team, there are as many as eleven midfielders. The competition is very fierce. So I have to regret to tell you that with your current ability, you still have no way to enter my squad."
