Chapter 238 The Problem of Glory

Every day is filled with Rongguang's various training plans.

Wake up at 05:30 in the morning, Rong Guang conducts warm-up training and familiarizing with the ball in the park, and then goes to the training base to receive the team’s tactical training. At noon, he carries out the training plan formulated for him in the gym of the training base. If something went wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.

Therefore, Rongguang can only carry out the relatively safe training plan arranged by the team's fitness coach, but the effect is relatively slow.

In the afternoon, he continued to receive the team's normal training. After the training, Rong Guang did not give himself additional training. Instead, he went directly to Leonard's place with Deborah in a car to receive Leonard's special training.

Practice until 10:30 in the evening, after [-]:[-] when I get home, take a shower and go to bed.

End a busy and tiring day.

Assistant coach Henk has noticed the recent changes in Rongguang.

"He didn't practice any more after training."

At the meeting of the coaches, he talked about Rongguang's recent situation.

"Looks like he gave up," said the other coaches.

"It's the same in the first place. His problem can't be solved in a short time. Instead of relying on a period of extra training to make himself reborn, it's better to take it step by step. He hasn't arrived yet, and he has plenty of time. I don't even know why he is working so hard..."

Unlike Brazil, extra training is not advocated in Brazil. In Germany, extra training is considered a symbol of a professional player's dedication and hard work. If a player is willing to do extra training after training, he will be more popular with the coach.

The reason why Rongguang was still loved and favored by the coaches before was because he trained very hard, and he would take the initiative to stay for additional training after the training.

Heathfield listened to the discussions of his colleagues, but did not say a word.

His colleagues are still unaware of his conversation with Rong Guang.

So they didn't understand why Rong Guang worked so hard.

But looking at it now, Rongguang has not practiced any more.

It must be because he went back and thought about it, and felt that it was really impossible to meet the requirements for appearance before September [-]st, so he decided not to do such useless work.

Rong Guang's reaction was actually within Hitzfeld's expectations.

He believed in what choice any sane person would make.

Reached the qualifications to play before September [-]st?
Hitzfeld shook his head inwardly.

It's impossible!

Although Heathfield said that he would not give Rongguang many chances to play, it did not mean that he would not even give Rongguang a chance in the warm-up match.

Bayern Munich's first warm-up match was played against the Bundesliga team Karlsruhe.

It was held at Bayern Munich's training base at Sebenastrasse 51.

Strictly speaking, it is just a teaching competition.

Tickets are not sold outside, but onlookers are not rejected either.

So many reporters came.

As the Bundesliga champions last season, it is normal for Bayern Munich to receive such attention from the media.

However, in addition to the normal reporters reporting on the Bundesliga games, there are also many reporters from China outside the venue.

These days, the Chinese journalists who often appear on the sidelines of the training field have become a scene in the training base. Everyone has been completely used to it from the initial surprise to the current habit.

This game is Rongguang's first game in Bayern Munich. Even if it is not an official game, it is enough to attract the attention of the Chinese media.

Since Rongguang's appearance in Bayern Munich, the Chinese media have carried out comprehensive reports on him to satisfy readers' curiosity about Rongguang.

With everyone's concerted efforts, where Rong Guang lives in Munich, what he eats in Munich, what he usually trains in Bayern Munich, his relationship with his teammates... all were dug out by the reporters and published in the newspaper.

In this game, everyone wants to see what Rong Guang can do in the game.After watching his game video and highlights in Sao Paulo, Chinese reporters are full of expectations for Rongguang's performance in Bayern Munich.

In the most prosperous time for Chinese players studying abroad, no one was able to play in the real giants. Will Rongguang break this zero record?

They hope so.

But the actual situation of the game disappointed them.

Rong Guang, who started the game, did not show any decent performance in the game.

His speed and dexterity are completely out of play.

He doesn't even play the attacking midfielder position that he is best at, but the striker...

Yes, he plays with Misimovic as a striker.

But he lost the ball frequently in the game. In 10 minutes, he didn't even have a shot, no matter how decent he was, he didn't have a shot, and his shooting statistics were zero.

The reporters on the sidelines shook their heads when they saw this scene: "He is obviously not used to playing forward..."

"It doesn't matter what position he plays, his physical resistance is too weak..."

"Isn't it normal to have weak physical resistance? He's only 17 years old! He's still not satisfied, he's still in the development stage..."

"He's a bit slow, he shouldn't have the ball in the box like that. He's not used to it..."

"German football is not the same as slow Brazilian football! In Brazil, he has a lot of time on the pitch with the ball, but here, just slow down and the ball will be broken!"

German journalists are already pointing out the Glory problem.

Yes, although Rongguang is aware of his own problems, it is not something that can be done in a day or two to change.

This takes time and a process.

He tried very hard to speed up his rhythm, but this made him lose his familiar rhythm and played very awkwardly.

Although the Chinese journalists could not bear to criticize Rongguang directly, they had to admit that their German counterparts were right.

Rong Guang seemed very uncomfortable with such a fast pace and such fierce fighting.

You must know that this is still an ordinary teaching competition, not even a friendly match.

In the official competition, both the rhythm of the competition and the intensity of fighting will be much higher than now.

He can't even cope with the current level of competition, how can he be expected to play more intense official competitions?
"I didn't notice it before, Rong Guang's body is indeed a little thin..."

"The boy who came out of the mountain village will inevitably suffer from malnutrition... Give him more time, I believe it will not be like this."

"Although I really want to see Rong Guang play in the Bundesliga, but judging by the current situation, I'm afraid this time will have to be pushed back..."

"Not at all..." assistant coach Henk said, frowning.

Hitzfeld also shook his head, expressing his approval of his assistant.

"His physical strength needs to increase, his mentality needs to change, but it will take time..." Henk continued.

Hitzfeld shook his head and said, "So he belongs to the future."

The implication is... the glory does not belong to Bayern Munich now.

Henk heard the coach's overtones, and he turned his head to look at Heathfield: "You plan to put the player who spent the club's $700 million on the bench, Otmar?"

"I don't decide who plays based on the player's worth," Hitzfeld said.

Henk smiled: "Then you're going to be ready for Uli's slobber."

Hitzfeld smiled slightly: "I will convince him that Uli is a person who wholeheartedly considers the club Bayern Munich, and I believe he will make the right choice."

In this game, Rong Guang was replaced after half the game.Of course, in the warm-up match, it is not uncommon for eleven people to be replaced at halftime.

But everyone who watched this half of the game knew in their hearts that Rong Guang's replacement was not just that simple.

After the game, for the first time in the local media in Munich, there were voices of downplaying glory.

Although it is not big, it is already a signal.

And it is not good for the Chinese media to directly blackmail their own players in the manuscripts sent back to China.Because they all know how high the expectations of Chinese fans for Rongguang are now.

His worth of 700 million yuan made him the most valuable Chinese player in the history of Chinese football.And playing for Bayern Munich also makes everyone expect him to become the first Chinese player to join a giant.

In the early years, Yang Chen became the first Chinese player to land in the Bundesliga and the first player to score goals in the five major European leagues.He also became the team's top scorer with eight goals in his first season after joining Frankfurt, helping the team successfully avoid relegation, and became the idol of many people for a while.

But time flies, and the former idol officially left Germany this summer and returned to China to continue his football career.

At that time, many Chinese football players were still embarrassed by Yang Chen's departure. They did not expect that such a glory would emerge from the sky, and it would be a high starting point like Bayern Munich!

Whether it is the media or the fans, they pinned their hopes for Chinese players studying abroad on Rong Guang, hoping that he can perform well and raise the banner left by his predecessor Yang Chen again.

If you tell the fans directly that Glory, which they have high hopes for, has encountered a big problem in Bayern Munich, these fans will rebel, right?

But the Chinese media couldn't open their eyes and tell lies, telling the Chinese fans in the back that Rongguang performed well in the warm-up match.

So they can only push the responsibility to the head coach Heathfield.

"... Rongguang's poor performance is largely due to his position... let Rongguang play forward, he is not used to this new position at all. Heathfield said after the game that he did this because the competition in the midfield was too fierce... But isn't the competition for forwards fierce? Rongguang is not a striker at all! His speed advantage can't be brought into play in a crowded penalty area..."

The Chinese media's practice of deflecting hatred has achieved results.

On China's Internet, many Chinese fans are criticizing Hitzfeld for not using it indiscriminately, and they don't care about Rongguang's poor performance in this warm-up match, and what impact it will have on his future in Bayern Munich.
