Chapter 69 Thoughts on Nationality

Two days before the start of the game, most fans were not aware of the game, and the "smell" reporters who were extremely sensitive had already seized the opportunity to enter Munich and wanted to hype the game before the game.

Among them, there are not only reporters who support Bayern Munich and Schalke 04, but also reporters who support some other teams. More importantly, one of the games is Germany's hegemon Bayern Munich, and the other is Schalke 04, who has performed well in the first two rounds.

In addition, Bayern's decline this season is also the reason for other media hype, such as the reporters who support Werda Bremen. The team they support has surpassed Bayern this season and steadily put Bayern under him. However, although Wer Bremen's performance is very strong, it is only necessary to shake Bayern with this. Hegemony is too much to say. It's nothing if you don't win the championship in a season.

Everyone knows this truth, and they also hope that other teams will come together to nibble on the hard bone of Bayern.

That is to say, they want Schalke 04 to win. In fact, not only Bayern's competitors, but also the German Football Association wants to see Schalke 04 win. The reason is very simple. If any league wants to develop, there must be competition in it. Bayern Munich's rule over the Bundesliga. The status, while making Bayern club famous in the world, has also greatly hindered the development of German football. In addition to Bayern Munich, the competitiveness of other teams in the Bundesliga has been sharply reduced in European competitions. In this way, the influence of German football on European and even world football has been drastically reduced. This is the reason why the ranking of the Bundesliga continues to decline in the European Professional Football League.

This is not what the German Football Association wants to see. If you want to better develop German football, you must support other clubs to fight against Bayern. The sudden rise of Wer Bremen this season has given the German Football Association a glimmer of hope. If more teams can compete with Bayern, then German football The future must be bright.

At this point, the learning spirit of German national inheritance has played a role.

The Germans are trying to learn from the English. In recent years, the English have obviously been successful in football. Although their team has fought many times in the world, Germany disdained it, but the influence of the Premier League is increasing day by day, bringing great benefits to English football. Now it is fast. It will surpass the Serie A League, which is known as the 'Little World Cup', and become the largest league in Europe.

Therefore, the fans, reporters and even officials who follow this game, in addition to the absolute supporters of Bayern Munich, all hope that Schalke 04 will win.

But there seems to be little hope.

And even if they are all put together, there can't be more supporters in Bayern than Bayern. Of course, more importantly, this game has received a lot of attention.

The Sun, which has a wide range of influence in England, claimed that the Bayern match between Bayern and Schalke 04 has become the highlight of the twenty-eighth round of the Bundesliga. The combined attention of other games is only equivalent to this game, which shows the degree of attention this game.

Such attention certainly affects the attitude of the two clubs.

Bayern Munich never thought that playing against a "not an opponent" team would receive so much attention. After the battle with Chelsea, they were completely unprepared.

And now, Bayern's senior management has even made a 'must win' requirement!

Some strong people are difficult, at least for head coach Heathfield. Bayern's hope of winning the Bundesliga this season is too slim. Heathfield has transferred most of the team's energy to the European field. In this case, some hard battles in the Bundesliga can be completely abandoned.

Obviously, the battle with Schalke 04, the sixth place in the league, is completely a tough battle. He originally wanted to send some substitute players, but the victory or defeat is up to fate.

But it doesn't work now. He must let the main force play, otherwise the senior management of the club will definitely not be satisfied.

In the second round with Chelsea a week later, these main players have to go to London to participate in the battle. Such a game is really a headache, and Heathfield can only smile bitterly.

The day before the game, Heathfield was interviewed by a reporter. This time, he was prepared when asked by the reporter about Jack, the No. 30 young player of Schalke 04. When Li Shi, Heathfield couldn't help showing a satisfied look.

"... Yesterday, I carefully studied the recent game video of Schalke 04. This young man's performance really makes me have nothing to say. He can play in the Bundesliga several times and maintain such goal efficiency. I have to say that he is a rare genius. If I can still coach Bayern next season, I think I will consider bringing him to my team. In the middle..."

Such a naked poaching did not make the reporter of Schalke 04 dissatisfied. Instead, they felt that Heathfield's words were very sincere. Why? Because the premise of his poaching is 'to coach Bayern next season'.

Most people are not optimistic about Heathfield on this issue. Although he gave Bayern a taste of the European championship that he had not won in 25 years, and although he led the team with good results, Bayern failed to win the Bundesliga championship this season. This is the only thing that Bayern executives and fans can't stand. They I'm used to becoming the overlord of the Bundesliga. If I can't win the championship this season, the head coach will definitely take the blame. There is no doubt about it, unless---

Unless Bayern can win the European championship again!

But everyone knows that this possibility is too low. Not to mention anything else, their current opponent, Blues Chelsea, is not a good opponent to deal with, and even if they beat Chelsea at Stanford Bridge in London, the next opponent to face will be Serie A giants AC Milan and La Liga Galactic Battleship. The winner of Real Madrid...

It can be imagined how slim Bayern's chances of winning the championship are.

Just one Chelsea makes Bayern anxious. If it comes to AC Milan or Real Madrid... Just disarm and surrender.

If Heathfield's words make the Schalke 04 reporter feel sincere, then Bayern's midfielder Hargreaves's words are annoying: "I don't understand why you ask me what I think of this Bundesliga rookie. Is he a rare treasure?"

Hargreaves grinned at the corners of his mouth and said, "What's important about my opinion? I'm just a substitute for Bayern, and I haven't been able to take the main position, but that boy seems to be the main force of Schalke 04. I think it's most appropriate for him to evaluate me.

This sentence irritates the reporters who support Schalke 04!

Everyone knows that the main player of Schalke 04 may not even be able to play as a substitute when he comes to Bayern Munich. Hargreaves's words are full of irony!

However, there are obviously many people who are not used to this guy's face. A reporter from Stuttgart immediately asked, "Mr. Hargreaves, do you know what national consciousness is? Why were you born in Canada and chose to join the England team? Can you tell me why?

This sentence made Hargreaves curse angrily and turn around and leave. This is to turn against the reporter.

In fact, the reporter's words are even more ironic!

Hargreaves' full name is Owen Hargreaves, an English football player. He was born in Calgary, Canada. He has been growing up in Germany since he loved football and became famous in Bayern Munich. Because of his parents' nationality, Hargreaves could have represented any country in Canada, Germany, England and Wales. Originally, everyone thought that he would choose Canada, where he was born, or Germany, where he grew up, but he chose England.

This is why. Everyone doesn't understand. Many people call Hargreaves a 'traitor'.

More importantly, Hargreaves did not enter Great Britain before joining the England team. Of course, he did not participate in any football matches in England. It is really incomprehensible for such a person to join the England team.

Many people think that the reason why Hargreaves joined the England team is that his father once played for Bolton, which is a kind of respect for his father, but no one gets the real answer from Hargreaves.

Despite this, no one denies Hargreaves' sports ethics as a professional football player, because so far, Hargreaves has never received a yellow card.

※※※

The attitude of Bayern coaches and players towards the game has become a topic that season fans like to talk about. I have to say that the current information is spreading very fast. Before the bus of Schalke 04 could enter Munich, the players of Schalke 04 had already received a lot of 'gossip' news.

Obviously, every player likes to hear about his opponent.

Jack Don also likes it. He reads the news on the Internet and knows what many Bayern players think of him. He now likes to read these news very much. This may also be a pastime other than football, and the experience of Hargreaves has resonated with him.

Hargreaves was born in Canada and lives in Germany, but he chose to join the England team. What about himself?

You were born in Morocco and live in Morocco, but want to join the Moroccan team? Does Morocco have a football team?

Even if there is, I will never join.

Just because I don't have any sense of identity there. Even if I have the memory of the owner in front of my body, I only have a bad impression, but I don't have a good impression at all. Then if one day I become famous, a team will definitely invite me to join. What will I choose?

Don Jack is a little annoyed.

According to your own situation, you can have German nationality in a few years. If you perform very well, it is normal for the German Football Association to provide some special benefits in order to let yourself join, but will you choose Germany?

If you don't choose Germany, what can you choose?

Distant China?

Is there any football there?

Even if there is, Jack Don knows that he can't get in, because as far as he knows, that country seems to have very high requirements for nationality. If he joins Chinese nationality, he must give up the nationality of other countries. Moreover, the football level of that country is very poor, which is not conducive to his future development of football.

Thinking of this, Jack Don has a headache and can only think about it later. The most urgent thing is to play this game.

I'm on behalf of Ebe. That's why Sander appeared. Don Jack felt that he must also play well, for this hard-won opportunity!
