Chapter 51: The arrogant Bundesliga champion
Schaff, the current manager of Bremen, he is like Pep Guardiola to Barcelona, when he was younger, he played in Bremen, and then after retiring he became a coach in Bremen.
For Bremen, Schaff knows the roots, and it is Schaf's credit for bringing a team of average quality to compete with Bayern Munich for the league title.
Schaff is still confident about the upcoming German Cup at home and told the fans to have a happy Christmas when speaking to the local media in Bremen.
"I've watched the game in Cologne, and I should say it's good, but I don't think it's going to challenge us yet."
Schaaf was polite, but the team's big man Frings was very polite.
As a former Dortmund, Bayern Munich player, and now a German international, Frings still has some contempt for Cologne.
"We don't have strong teams in many big cities in Germany, such as Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt."
You must know that Frankfurt is the financial center of Europe, the shipping center, similar to London in the United Kingdom, but the football ...... in Frankfurt Although it can't be said to be miserable, it really doesn't match the temperament of the city.
'We're going to win against Cologne, there's no doubt about it, Podolski is Cologne's only hope, but we're team-mates in the national team and I know how to deal with Lucas.'
The reporter mentioned: "Now there is still a Tang Zhenglong in Cologne. β
Frings suddenly laughed.
"What?"
"Tang, from China."
"China?"
"I just know that the food in China is delicious, and the tea in China is very good, and there is football in this country?"
Frings showed the arrogance of the Germans, and the reporters on the scene laughed, perhaps they felt that in front of Germany, which has won three World Cup titles, only Brazil, Argentina and Italy can be compared.
Bremen's arrogance was reported by the media, and of course the Cologne players knew about it, but what could be done?
Bremen won last season's Bundesliga title and are fourth overall in the Bundesliga, with Bayern Munich in first, Borussia Dortmund in second and Borussia MΓΆnchengladbach in third.
What's more, there are many big-name stars in the current Bremen team, such as Germany's top scorer Klose, French midfielder Miku, Germany's fierce player Frijns and so on.
In the football circle, strength is king, take Bayern Munich as an example, they think about Podolski every day, what can Cologne do?
There is no way at all, but to give it obediently when the time comes, this is football.
The whole Cologne team came to Bremen by bus, and surprisingly, there were no fans who came to complain.
When the Bundesliga matches are played, the Cologne bus goes to the away stadium, and there will be home fans along the way to send the German national curse, and some provocative slogans are a little more disgusting, but when you come to Bremen, everything is normal here, as if there is no Cologne team.
Cologne is feeling unhappy up and down, is the Bundesliga champion great?
When you think about it, it seems quite remarkable.
Stevens vaccinated everyone in advance, and when he arrived at the hotel, no matter what kind of provocation he heard, he was not allowed to respond, especially gestures.
"I don't want to see a second Effenberg."
When he arrived at the hotel, Stevens realized that he had thought too much, and there were no fans who came to provoke him, and the Cologne players were like tourists who came to Bremen.
But it's normal to think about it, on the one hand, the Bundesliga champion, and on the other hand, the bottom of the Bundesliga last season, is it necessary to spray you?
Bremen fans salivate and are ready to spray Bayern in the league.
Stevens patted Schultz, "Defend Don for me, don't let him cause trouble for me." β
"And you, Svante, you two guard against Tang Zhenglong."
ββ¦β¦β
Stevens said this in the hotel lobby, and the whole team heard it, and everyone laughed.
Tang Zhenglong Khan.
"Head, you're racist, why are you staring at me, Lucas may not be able to hold back."
"Don, this is the German Cup, it will be broadcast all over Europe, don't make trouble for me."
ββ¦β¦β
Tang Zhenglong was really unhappy, this was Chiguoguo's discrimination.
"Hahaha."
My teammates thought it was so much fun.
Weser Arena, this is Bremen's home stadium, in previous seasons, Cologne could come at least once a year, but this season after relegation, Cologne is here for the first time.
It is routine to step on the field before the game, but the media interviews after the warm-up cannot be avoided, and the reporters also want to make some news.
"We wanted to interview Lucas and Tang Zhenglong."
Stevens smiled, "I'm sorry, our players need to calm down and prepare for the game, so it's just me to face the interviews. β
The reporters were very disappointed, everyone was especially looking forward to Tang Zhenglong, and they all knew that Tang Zhenglong's big mouth would bring good news.
"What are your tactics against a strong opponent like Bremen? Or what can Cologne do? β
"Tactics? It's a secret, but one thing I can tell you is that we won't give up, despite the strength of the opponents. β
At this moment, someone beckoned at Tang Zhenglong.
"Don, come here."
"No way!" Stevens said with a red face.
"You can't stop us from interviewing the players."
One journalist threatened: "If you stop us from interviewing Don, then this will become news in itself." β
"These stinky journalists." Stevens said angrily.
"Yes, why do you want to ban Tang Zhenglong, could it be that he is Asian?"
ββ¦β¦β
Stevens is stupid, these stinky reporters are so bad.
"We'll only ask a few small questions, if you'll allow us to interview Don."
Stevens couldn't help it, but he looked at it viciously, as if telling Tang Zhenglong with his eyes not to talk nonsense.
Tang Zhenglong came to the reporter.
"Hello everyone, I can't talk nonsense, so please don't hurt me."
"Hahaha."
Someone asked, "How's your lawsuit with Claudia?" β
"Resolved, I've apologized, because I don't speak German well, we had a misunderstanding."
Tang Zhenglong understated it, if Claudia saw it, it was estimated that she would be mad for a long time.
"What do you think about Bremen's Frijns, who said he looks down on Chinese players?"
ββ¦β¦β
Stevens thought to himself, this reporter is obviously making trouble, Frings didn't say that, although arrogant, but the reporter is sowing discord.
Tang Zhenglong endured it, and finally smiled, "I don't have any opinion, my mouth grows on someone's buttocks, what can I do?" β
"Hahaha."
"Don, you can respond, Germany is free of the press."
Tang Zhenglong scratched his head and thought: "You don't read much when I don't read, if the press was really free, I wouldn't have been punished so many times." β
