Chapter 179 (II) Sigh the veteran farewell
24 May 2004, Victor Stadium, Madiburg, Hannover. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the final round of the second division, and there is no battle for any places, just a routine closing game. But Madiburg fielded an extremely eccentric starting line-up.
Single striker, No. 27, 36-year-old veteran center, Sparky Summerfield.
Five midfielders: No. 9 Riccardo Montolivo, No. 7 Franck Ribery, No. 8 Bastian Schweinsteiger, No. 6 Nigel de Jong, No. 31 35-year-old Roger Samuel.
Four defenders: No. 4 Per Mertesacker, No. 5 Ignaz Stuberner, 38, Shaun Hodgson, No. 26, 37, and Chuck Meyer, 37, No. 27.
Goalkeeper: No. 24, 37-year-old Nelson Bellok.
Fans will look strange, but everyone at the club knows that none of the 11 starters will be in Madipo's squad next season, and this will be their collective farewell game.
The Five Musketeers are bound to leave, and they can't go away, Madibourg's squad can't accommodate each of their shining stars at the same time, and their all-round and outstanding individual ability can't coexist in the same formation in the existing football world, and there is no such team in world football. The formation can fit the six of them, but it can't fit the talent of the six. Moreover, Madiburg's small business could not meet their growing demand for a reasonable salary, and even if Madiburg was prosperous in business development due to Chinese funds, it could not satisfy the appetite of the Six Musketeers at the same time. Take money to work, the salary reflects the value, and no one can morally kidnap them here.
Zhuo Yang's low-key and sacrifice throughout the year were in their eyes, and they knew how powerful their brother was. The Five Musketeers have been crazy all season, but they know they can be even crazier. Everyone made sacrifices for their brothers, although not as much as Zhuo Yang's sacrifice. It's not that they won't rob, it's not that they don't want to rob, it's just because they're brothers.
They're leaving, and they're going to have big contracts with big clubs and double their income. And because of their departure, Zhuo Yang will inevitably get the highest salary in the total salary of Madiburg's players, and if they don't leave, they will inevitably lower the salaries of six people together.
For the sake of football dreams, for the sake of realistic win-win results, and for the sake of brotherly affection, they must leave this year. Just as last year, they chose to stay for the sake of brotherhood.
I stayed last summer because I couldn't let go of my brother, and I chose to leave this summer so that this friendship can live on today.
Madiburg fans did not know that the five swordsmen would leave en masse this summer, and the club did not dare to tell them right away, for fear of causing trouble. Only the fan leader Big SB has learned everything from Zhuo Yang, and Zhuo Yang really can't bear to hide it from him.
That day, Da SB drank a lot of wine and didn't say a word for a long time, and finally, he raised his head and said to Zhuo Yang.
"KING, I'M A DIE-HARD FAN OF MADIBURG, YOU KNOW. There aren't many fans like me, and I can count them on my fingers. You know why? β
"It's not that the fans in Hannover are bad, it's not that they go with the flow, it's that Madiborg is really unattractive, there is no history, there is no honour."
"I was only able to become a Madiburg loyalist because my father was a first-generation player in Madiburg, and my mother used to take me to watch my father's games at that time.
"So, there are very few die-hard fans and we can't be blamed because the former Madiburg didn't qualify for his die-hard fans. If Madiburg can continue to stand like these two years, or if it can keep standing in the Bundesliga, then ten or twenty years later, the whole of Hannover will become a die-hard Madiburg loyalist, and it will be passed down from generation to generation. β
"KING, the fans are realistic, we need to get joy and satisfaction from the stadium and from the stands. The team can't bring the fans together with temperament and wins, we're going to leave, we're going to talk with our feet. β
"KING, Madiburg has started to have temperament and wins, the fans are coming together, it's going to be a godsend, it's the perfect time to develop die-hard loyalists."
βKINGβ¦β¦β
Zhuo Yang was speechless, even if he and Da SB were very good friends, after all, they were in different places, and the angle of considering the problem would naturally not be the same. Therefore, he didn't enlighten and comfort Da SB, because he didn't necessarily understand, Zhuo Yang just drank with him silently.
Later, Da SB faltered but his eyes were aggressive and radiated a fine light, and he asked Zhuo Yang.
"KING, our Madiburg won't come back after a spin in the Bundesliga, right? Our Madi Castle won't go back to the valley of the past, will it? β
"Yes, absolutely not. Believe me. β
"Do you promise? KINGοΌ β
"Yes, I promise!"

In addition to the Five Musketeers, the other six veterans who started the game will all retire after this game. Even the youngest Samuel is 35 years old, and Samuel is also the person who has played the most this year among the six people, except for the East German cool brother, but it is only nine games. The rest of the population has been largely making up numbers this season, and their ability and age to cope with the second division are quite struggling. Originally, Samuel did not plan to retire so early, and the club also wanted him to play for another year, but to be honest, Samuel basically did not have any opportunities in the Bundesliga, which is actually well known to both parties. Eventually, Samuel gritted his teeth and decided to retire and work as a trainee clerk in the club's commercial department.
With the addition of Bantam Hasler, a full twelve, Madiburg will almost lose half of the team next season, and it is rare to see such a large-scale change of squad in world football. But there is no way to do it, Madiburg has made leaps and bounds in the past two years, and has not given the team time to update the squad step by step. In addition to these 12 players, there are 13 more in the current first-team squad in Maddyburg, the oldest being 30-year-old Dennis Lauren, but there are still six in the main squad, which is not too outrageous.
Moreover, the recruitment of the new season is also quite exciting.
.
In this game, Madiburg's captain Grandpa Mertesacker led the team into the field with the UEFA Cup trophy and the Bundesliga championship trophy in his hand, and led the team into the field with a welcome ovation from the players in the middle of the Honterhachen players. The original team captain Zhuo Yang and the old captain Hasler will not play in today's game, and they are standing on the sidelines sweating profusely at this moment, because they had a good time just now.
Before the game, Crosie and Greenwind Band, who were invited by Zhuo Yang, performed for an hour at Victor Stadium, and Zhuo Yang and Hasler played with the band in the center of the field. The bantam tiger brother sang loudly, and the always proud Hasler sang with a pseudo-girlish style, and the lead singer Jenna Pence was on par with her, and Ann could tell that I was male and female.
