Chapter 421 Suffocating Competition
Chapter 421 Suffocating Competition
Allofs, who was on the phone when Schaff knocked on the door of his office, motioned for Schaff to sit down.
Schaaf was sitting on the sofa, and heard Allofs say into the microphone: "Okay, I will ask his opinion first... I know, I know, I will try to convince him, he is an important member of us... Yes, yes... The sponsors also hope that we can keep him..."
After saying a few words, he hung up the phone and looked up at Schaff.
"What do you want from me, Thomas?"
"Who are you calling, Klaus?" Schaff asked first.
"Mr. Chairman. He hopes that the team can keep Rong."
"How is this possible? We can't afford 5000 million." Schaff was a little surprised.
"Yes, we can't get it out, so he wants me to try my best to convince Rong that he is willing to stay at Werder Bremen, and then we will use the player's personal wishes to talk to Bayern Munich. If the player's personal wishes are strong and firm, maybe we can't spend 5000 million." Allofs explained.
Shaf shook his head: "I came to you because of honor, Klaus. I advise you to give up this idea."
"Why, Thomas? Don't you want such a good player on your team?" Allofs was surprised.Before, Schaaf was very active in trying to save the glory. He even thought that the club should keep the glory at all costs.
He thought that what he was doing now would be fully supported by Schaff.
Where did you think...
"I hope, I hope very much, Klaus. But I know very well that Rong will not want to stay at Werder Bremen."
"Because we're out of the Champions League? No, that's not a problem. This is the first time our current team has participated in the Champions League. We lack experience. But now that we have accumulated experience, we will be different. And this summer we will continue to strengthen the strength of the team..." Allofs said.
"How much money can the club spend to buy someone? Even if you can convince Bayern Munich that they agree to sell Rong to us for less than 5000 million euros, how much do we need to pay just for Rong? 3000 million? Or 4000 million?" Schaff continued to shake his head. "And then do we have the money to buy other people? Think about the FA's financial health plan..."
Hearing what Schaf said, Allofs was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Schaff with puzzled eyes: "What's wrong with you, Thomas? You didn't have this attitude before... Did you feel frustrated because we were eliminated in the Champions League? But in fact, our performance is very good, have you seen it? After the game, the reaction of those AC Milan fans-they just escaped from hell! This is the pressure we put on them..."
"That's the pressure that Rong brought to them, not us. Klaus. I just think that we can't keep Rong. The tone is a waste of time and energy on Rong. It's better to think about it. After Rong is gone, which players we want to introduce."
※※※
In the end, Schaf didn't persuade Allofs to give up the idea of retaining Rong, so he had to get up and leave.
When he left, he hesitated and hesitated, and finally said to Allofs at the door: "Rong is a very ambitious player. Although he is young, he is not as bluffing as you think. So if you think that you can keep him with rhetoric, Klaus will definitely hit a wall. He knows what he should do and what he should get. He can't get what he wants at Werder Bremen..."
After speaking, he turned and said goodbye.
Allofs was still fascinated by the door he walked out of.

It has been days since being knocked out of the Champions League.
People are gradually not discussing things about the Champions League. It is meaningless to discuss things that have passed.
Because no matter how much discussion there is, it is impossible for Werder Bremen to do it all over again, let Rong Guang's kick finally miss the goal, and let Werder Bremen qualify for the semi-finals...
If not, what else to discuss?
Everyone's focus is on the league.
The Champions League has been eliminated, and the German Cup has long been abandoned. If Werder Bremen don't want to end up with nothing in the end, the only thing that can be caught is the league.
They are currently ranked first in the league, but the advantage is not obvious.
There are two rivals eyeing up behind.
Now the top three in the Bundesliga have no European distractions and can concentrate on domestic competitions.
In the ninth round of No.20 in the league, Werder Bremen played against Hertha Berlin at home.
※※※
Schaff took into account the impact of the Champions League when arranging the starting list.
The game was so fierce that in the end the Werder Bremen players couldn't run anymore.If you can still run, maybe the final result will not be like this.Because in the end, Glory was basically fighting alone.
So in this game against Hertha Berlin, Schaff intends to rotate and replace most of the players who participated in the away game against AC Milan.
But when Rongguang heard that he was not in the starting lineup, he found Schaff and volunteered.
"You need to rest, Ron," Schaff said. "This is not the only game in the league."
But Rong Guang's attitude was very firm: "I don't need to rest, coach, I want to play! My energy...isn't over yet!"
Hearing what he said, Shaf fell into silence for a while, and then he agreed to Rongguang's request.
Did he not finish his game against AC Milan?
Rong Guang got a satisfactory result.
He is really eager to play the game now. After losing to Kaka, he has nowhere to vent his anger, so he wants to vent his anger on the field.
He has to play against Hertha Berlin!
He wants to be a human volcano!
※※※
Schalke 04's head coach Rangnick hoped that Werder would not lose to his opponent.
Otherwise, when Werder Bremen recovers, it will be difficult for Schalke 04 to play.
But this game did not let him get his wish.
Rong Guang seemed to vent his grievances about his missed goal in the AC Milan game on Hertha Berlin.
In this game, he scored twice and also contributed an assist to help the team beat Hertha Berlin 3-0 at home.
Lannick's wishful thinking didn't work.
This victory also somewhat alleviated the team's sense of loss at being eliminated from the Champions League.
It quickly made the fans pin their expectations on the league.
After the game, Schaff also told reporters that Werder Bremen's next goal is to defend the title!
"Now, we should focus on the league. We still have the league to fight for. This is our only championship this season, and we must get it!"
When Shaf said that, his eyes were firm and his tone was decisive.As if announcing a final decision, I didn't want to consult with anyone.
And the complete victory of this game made his remarks particularly emboldened.
※※※
Rangnick wants to compete with Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich for the league title.
But he actually dropped the chain first.
同一轮联赛中，在云达不莱梅主场3：0完胜了柏林赫塔之后，沙尔克04在主场1：2不敌汉堡……
Bayern Munich beat Hannover 1 0-96 away.
As a result, Werder Bremen continued to lead the standings with 64 points, followed by Bayern Munich with 62 points and Schalke 04 with 59 points.
※※※
No.30轮，云达不莱梅客场1：0小胜勒沃库森，拜仁慕尼黑主场3：1击败波鸿。
And Schalke 04 suffered another defeat. They lost to Hertha Berlin 1:4 in the away game... After two consecutive losses, they are getting farther and farther away from the top of the list.
This is really ironic. In Rangnick's plan, Hamburg and Hertha Berlin should be Werder Bremen's stumbling blocks successively, because they happen to be the two opponents they met before and after the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Unexpectedly, although we stumbled, Werder Bremen won.
When it was Schalke 04's turn to meet these two teams, they had a two-game losing streak...
Instead, they became the nemesis of Schalke 04!
After 67 league rounds, Werder Bremen continues to rank first in the high league with [-] points.Bayern Munich still ranks second in the league with a difference of two points.
And Schalke scored 0459 and was even chased by Stuttgart from behind. The difference between the two sides was only four points...
It is basically certain that the next Bundesliga championship will be between Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich.
Schalke 04 is out.
However, Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich no longer have the chance to play against each other directly, so whoever can win the championship depends on who remains stable in the next four rounds of the league.
If anyone makes a slight mistake, the opponent may take the opportunity to overtake, or... to widen the gap.
This is more excruciating than the kind of competition that has the opportunity for direct dialogue.
Because there is always a chance of a decisive battle between the two sides.
But now, there is no decisive battle, no one knows that the game will be a decisive battle, and who will fall behind when...just like Schalke 04.
They must persevere till the end.
Expect to put enough pressure on your opponent to crush them while winning every game.
If it still doesn't work, it's the last round to decide the winner!
※※※
Time has entered May, and the league has come to an end.
In the No.30 round, Bayern Munich played first, and they beat Kaiserslautern 4-0 away.
The pressure was like a ball, and they kicked it to Werder Bremen.
In the standings, they temporarily surpassed Werder Bremen, who had one less game, by one point.
If Werder Bremen lose at home to Bielefeld, Bayern Munich will become the league leader.
However, Werder Bremen took the challenge calmly and beat Bielefeld 3-0 at home, scoring only one goal less than Bayern Munich.
They reclaimed top spot in the league after Bayern Munich led them for an hour and a half.
The confrontation between the two sides will continue to the next round.
"It's really a suffocating competition..." the German "Bild" commented after this round of competition.
No one cares about Schalke 04 anymore. It is right not to care. This round they were tied 3:3 at home by Leverkusen.
