Chapter 551: Bundesliga without a golden ball

As a player from a weak football country, even if he is already a superstar in the world, Allen’s trip still touched Su Dong very much, because this is the first time he has come to such a remote small town, close up. Reach out to fans at the bottom.

On the way back to Munich, Su Dong talked a lot with Heynckes. He found that there are many things that are different from what he had previously understood, which gave him a deeper understanding of the entire system of European professional football.

When Heynckes talked to Su Dong, what he mentioned most was football culture.

It includes not only stars, but also matches and victories, whether it is a rich or a low-level league team, each team can take root in the region for so many years, because they have a unique culture.

Real Madrid represents the aristocratic aristocracy, so even the nickname is the famous galaxy battleship, Atletico represents the working class, so their nickname is the sheet army, Barcelona is destined to be the spiritual flag of Catalonia, Bilbao Athletics represents the spiritual heritage of the Basque Country.

Not only La Liga, but also the Premier League. Every Premier League team has its own group of local loyalists. In Manchester, the giants are Manchester United, but the most local fans are Manchester City. They represent two different cultures and forces.

The same is true in the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich has a nickname, Green Hollywood.

As the well-deserved leader of the Bundesliga, Bayern is also unswervingly taking the international route, introducing superstars and stars, and competing with other top European teams, but on the other hand, they have never forgotten their local fans.

Because in Munich, in Germany, Bayern Munich is the root!

Heynckes said a word that impressed Su Dong very deeply.

"Bayern may not be international, it may not be the Bayern of the world, but he must be Munich, it must be the Bayern of Germany!"

"Without internationalization, Bayern will at best lose its qualification to dominate world football. If Munich and Germany are abandoned, Bayern will definitely die!"

Regarding this point, Su Dong is a little puzzled, because from the current point of view, the income brought by globalization is very considerable.

For example, in the Premier League, the sale of overseas copyrights has almost caught up with local copyrights.

"This is the difference between the Germans and the British in their understanding of professional football. Since the establishment of the Premier League, they have in fact gradually abandoned their roots and turned into a game of capital, and the whole trend is continuing with the influx of capital. Intensify."

"Back then, Murdoch wanted to buy Manchester United. How many Manchester United fans opposed it. They even established the Red Rebels and claimed to uphold the tradition of the Red Devils. But when it comes to the Glazer family, why is it gone?"

Heynckes’ question made Su Dong a little bit overwhelmed.

"Because they discovered that when the management is investing in capital again and again, and even the coach Ferguson no longer resists, Manchester United is no longer the Manchester United in their minds."

"The global market can never replace the local market, because in the local market, there is a group of diehard fans who most agree with the football culture of this club. They will unswervingly support you regardless of whether you have a superstar, whether you have won the championship, or whether you have excellent results. You, and this support is the foundation for the team to reverse the crisis."

"The support and recognition of local fans is based on the accumulated exchanges over the past many, many years. Perhaps the first jersey they wore was the team’s jersey, and the first player they knew was the club’s. Stars, the first slogan they shout is to cheer for the club. These are things that globalization cannot give."

"How much loyalty can the fans brought by globalization? How many of them admire you because you are strong now? When you have a crisis one day and your strength is no longer, will they switch to liking? Other teams? Not to mention, the level of consumption for the team by fans all over the world is far behind the local fans."

Heynckes' analysis made Su Dong immediately feel a sense of enlightenment.

He suddenly understood why Bayern's ticket price is the lowest among many European giants? Why are the Bundesliga teams still insisting on standing votes? Why does the Bundesliga insist on the 50 plus one policy and not let it go? Why is it that Bayern has such a strong business operation capability, but the speed of globalization is obviously behind Manchester United and Real Madrid?

Also, why in the German Cup, Bayern and other strong teams have to start playing from the first round?

To put it bluntly, this is the difference in philosophy.

Maybe the Germans stick to the old ways, but this is their philosophy. They start from this philosophy to manage and operate their league system.

The local is the world!

Heynckes suddenly smiled at Su Dong, "Actually, you just didn't want to understand this, but you have been doing this."

"Really?" Su Dong was a little surprised, what did he do?

"As far as I know, for so many years, many national teams have wanted to invite you to be naturalized, but you have rejected them because you only want to play for the Chinese national team. This proves that you have always agreed with you in your heart. This view and approach, as well as your attitude towards Chinese fans and journalists, is obviously completely different from that of others. It is a kind of intimacy from the heart that cannot be hidden, such as in Hong Kong that time."

Su Dong smiled awkwardly. He really hadn't thought of this before. He simply thought that he was a Chinese.

He is a professional player, playing football is his profession.

He was first a Chinese Su Dong, and then a professional player Su Dong!

"You may not have noticed it, but it is your persistence that makes you look so different!"

Heynckes' words made Su Dong ponder again.

He is a person who likes to ponder, and a Virgo who likes to struggle.

On the afternoon of November 3rd, Munich Allianz Arena.

In the twelfth round of the Bundesliga, Bayern vs. Frankfurt.

Fourteen seconds after the start of the game, Frankfurt took the lead in the kick-off but was intercepted by Bayern in midfield. Ribery sent an oblique pass from his left side. Su Dong quickly jumped in and stopped the ball into the penalty area with his chest and volleyed his left foot vigorously. , Opened the record for Bayern.

……

Over the weekend, in the thirteenth round of the Bundesliga, Bayern played away to Stuttgart.

Although both teams have participated in the Champions League, Stuttgart's performance this season is not satisfactory. At present, he is only ranked 11th in the Bundesliga. The UEFA Champions League group suffered a four-game losing streak, which allowed Stuttgart to concentrate all its forces in the league.

Bayern, on the other hand, consumed more energy in the Champions League game, especially the continuous two-line battle has been affected by injuries, so that the team's state finally showed ups and downs.

Demichelis, who started for Pepe in the first half, made two consecutive mistakes. First, he was sneaked by Gomez to score a goal. Then he failed to clear the siege and passed the ball to his opponent, causing the second goal conceded.

At the beginning of the second half, Lucio was too anxious on defense and made too much moves. He elbowed his opponent and was sent off by a red card.

The house leak happened in the night rain, and Bayern had to adopt a strict guard posture when one person was missing.

Until the 76th minute, through a quick counterattack, Su Dong ran through two people and scored a goal for Bayern.

But Su Dong’s goal could not prevent Bayern from losing in a one-to-two away game.

...

Bayern loses!

The winning streak stopped at twelve rounds!

After the first draw of the season in the middle of the week, there was another loss in the weekend league, which made everyone realize that after a brilliant start, Bayern's state has slipped.

Su Dong still performed steadily, but he couldn't hold back his surrounding teammates, including players such as Ribery and Modric, all of which were in decline. Lucio's elbow also proved that his state was very problematic.

Heynckes said after the game that he was responsible for the loss, but he refused to admit that Bayern was in crisis. He only believed that this was the ups and downs of ordinary players and believed that the team could soon usher in a recovery.

...

After the thirteenth round of the Bundesliga, the Europa League was once again suspended, ushering in a two-week national team match day.

Also during this period of time, FIFA announced the top three candidates for the 2007 World Footballer. UU Reading www.uukahnshu.com

It is extremely surprising that Su Dong has lost the election!

Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi!

When the top three candidates for FIFA’s World Footballer were released, the whole world was in a frenzy.

Why was Su Dong not selected?

A FIFA spokesperson quickly explained that the reason why Su Dong lost the election was because he had only won one league title in Bayern in the past year. The entire 2007 did perform well, but there were still some Lacking.

Not only that, the French media also broke the news. In the Golden Globe Awards selected by the French Football Magazine, Su Dong also did not qualify for the top three, but the French media put it more bluntly, that is, Su Dong’s performance in the Bundesliga cannot make it. People are convinced.

To put it bluntly, the influence of the Bundesliga is not enough!

In this situation, the media, fans, and even professionals quickly divided into two camps. Some believed that Su Dong should be selected, while others believed that from the day Su Dong left Barcelona, ​​he would The hope of hitting the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer has been lost.

"In the history of the Bundesliga, no player has ever won the World Player of Football, and in the past 11 years, the Bundesliga has not given birth to a golden ball. In the past 26 years, only one golden ball has been won. prize."

"If Su Dong wants to win a prize, then he must leave the Bundesliga as soon as possible!"
