Chapter 51: Jersey Exchange

Borussia Dortmund's players were very disappointed, they tried their best to do the limit of what they could, but they still lost the game, watching their opponents win the championship, this sense of loss and frustration made many young players red-eyed.

Werder Bremen's players looked very personable at this time, and while they celebrated, they did not forget to run over to comfort their opponents.

Dortmund's performance in this game was very good, even as opponents, I have to admit that their enthusiasm and ability to turn the tables against adversity are terrifying.

Seriously speaking, Dortmund is definitely stronger than Werder Bremen.

On the one hand, they lost because they did not expect their opponents to use this tactic similar to sneak attacks, and they were caught off guard;

On the other hand, because the team's mentality is not stable enough, they have not been able to recover their form after conceding in the first half, and a lot of time has been wasted.

By the time they get over these problems, they'll probably be even stronger in the new season.

"The next time we meet them, I'm afraid we won't be able to win!"

Fritz stood next to Lin Quan and said with some emotion.

Borussia Dortmund's squad is very young and their players are still on the rise.

Such a team, as long as there are no large-scale injuries and no player supermarket, is not like Arsenal selling captains every year.

Then their competitiveness in the Bundesliga will probably continue for a long time.

It's hard to say whether they can continue to upset Bayern, but the rest of the Bundesliga will definitely not take advantage of them when they face them.

"Hehe, I'm afraid they will hold a grudge, and the next time they meet us, they will fight to the death!"

Hearing Lin Quan's words, Fritz couldn't help laughing:

Snatch the championship at the opponent's doorstep, and it's no wonder that the opponent doesn't hold grudges!

At this time, the players of Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund had already started to exchange shirts.

In this match, both sides recognized each other's strength.

Lin Quan was young, and he didn't think anyone would exchange jerseys with him.

Unexpectedly, Royce and Gotze came together and took the initiative to exchange jerseys with him.

Götze suffered an eye problem before the game and sat on the bench for the whole game, not playing.

His absence was one of the reasons for Dortmund's loss.

Although he did not play, Gotze felt that he was the heart of Dortmund's midfield, and Reus was just a newcomer to the team.

Therefore, Gotze believes that Lin Quan will most likely exchange jerseys with the more famous him.

But to his surprise, Lin Quan chose Royce.

Lin Quan admires Royce's character very much, in the era of commercial football, there are too few players like him who have one person and one city.

Compared with Royce, who is one person and one city, Lin Quan doesn't like Götze very much.

It's hard to say how much of the Champions League was to blame for Dortmund's loss of the Champions League in the 12-13 season, but the fact that he had private contact with his opponent in the final on the eve of the tournament and transferred to the opponent was definitely a blow to the team's morale.

Even if Gotze had been in contact with Bayern Munich and then transferred after losing in the Champions League, he would not have received so much criticism.

The former is more like Bayern's use of a conspiracy before the final to demoralize their opponents by poaching their midfield core.

The latter can only be regarded as Gotze Muqiang at best, and he joins if he can't kick it.

And in football, there are not many things that can not be beaten and joined, there are three in Arsenal alone, Thierry Henry, Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas have all done such things.

Reus was a little surprised that Lin Quan would exchange jerseys with him, so after getting the opponent's green No. 10 jersey, he took the initiative to give the opponent a hug.

"You've played a great game, come on, keep playing like this, I'm looking forward to seeing you make a name for yourself in the Bundesliga!"

Lin Quan was also surprised, he didn't expect to get Royce's affirmation and blessing.

So he also spoke: "Thank you, Marko, next time I go to Bremen for the competition, I will invite you to dinner!" ”

Royce nodded and agreed: "It's a deal, but I can't invite you to dinner today, I'm sorry!" ”

Lin Quan smiled and expressed his understanding, at this time, even if Reus invited him to dinner out of courtesy, he would refuse, if it was seen by the fans of Dortmund, then Reuss probably wouldn't have to mess around here.

It is taboo to talk shallow and deep, although Lin Quan wants to persuade Royce to take more rest and reduce injuries.

But the two have just met, and he is saying this kind of thing very abruptly now, and the other party will definitely not listen.

So you can only wait for the two to get acquainted with each other in the future, and then advise each other as friends!

Hopefully, before that, his time at Dortmund will go a little bit smoother and he won't get hurt so much!

……

Fearing an accident that would provoke the 80,000 fans at home, Werder Bremen did not stay at the Westphalian Stadium for long.

After accepting the award, he quickly left the place by bus.

At noon the next day, after a full night's rest, all the members of Werder Bremen, who had recovered their energy, took the ICE Intercity Express back to Bremen.

The distance from Dortmund to Bremen is not too far, and the German Intercity Express (high-speed rail) is also well developed, so it only took an hour for the team to arrive at the station.

After returning to the club, club manager Alofs arrived in front of the crowd with a suitcase.

"Welcome to our warriors!"

He was delighted to give a warm hug to every player in the team, including the substitutes.

Then opened the suitcase in front of the players:

"This is a prize money of 300,000 euros for winning the Telecom Cup from the Football Association and sponsors!"

Seeing the cash in a suitcase, the players seemed to realize something, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked at Alofs intently.

Werder Bremen are not giants, and the players are not paid a lot of money.

After a succession of team veterans such as Pizarro and Wiese, the average annual salary of Werder Bremen this season has been reduced to the level of the lower reaches of the Bundesliga, and the highest salary in the team is captain Clemens Fritz, with an annual salary of only 2.2 million euros.

And a player like Phil Kruger from the youth team, his salary is even lower, estimated to be only about 3,000 euros a week, and the annual salary will not exceed 200,000 euros.

So for the players, the 300,000 euro bonus is still very attractive.

"The team will distribute bonuses according to the contributions of each player in the game, and if you have no objections, you can line up to sign for me!"

After speaking, let the staff register on the spot and directly distribute the bonus.

Werder Bremen may be a little poorer, but the money club doesn't intend to get involved.

Anyway, I didn't have much money, and besides, I didn't expect to win the championship before, so this money was a windfall.

It's better to reward the players and motivate them to continue to work the field and achieve a good result in the new season.

This approach has certainly won the praise of the players.

The players had no opinion on the distribution of the prize money, so they signed up to receive their own share of the bonus.

Lin Quan's performance in these two games was very good, and he belonged to the existence of the offensive core, so he received the first prize - 20,000 euros!

There are only five players in this bracket, except for Lin Quan, the remaining four are the main players of the team who have played two games and performed well, including De Bruyne.

The second tranche is €10,000 and is awarded to the main players of the team and key rotation players who play on the field.

The third tranche is 5,000 euros, which is awarded to those who have been in the squad, but have not played in the competition, as well as the staff of the club, etc.

As soon as the money was distributed, the players' minds were immediately off the training ground.

Especially the young players who didn't have much money in their hands before, or handed it over to their parents, they all have apes and horses, and their hearts don't know where to fly for a long time!

Seeing this, Coach Schaff directly announced the disbandment and gave the players 3 days off.

It's just that after announcing the holiday, I told those young players not to mess around outside, in case of any negative news, the team will not tolerate them!
