Chapter 687 "Doing Your Best" Is an Insult
"This time, I don't want to be a loser anymore!"
Rong Guang said to the camera lens, the expression on his face was very resolute, and his determination could be seen.
"Rong's expression is so scary..." Caroline, who was sitting next to Kaka, said suddenly.
Kaka turned to look at her, and asked with a smile, "Scared?"
"It's not..." Caroline shook her head, "I just feel...very imposing. By the way, my dear, you scored much fewer goals in the Champions League this season than him."
Kaka shrugged: "I don't compare goals with him, I compare champions with him. He can win the Champions League Golden Boot again, and I don't want any personal honors, but AC Milan will be the Champions League champion."
Caroline stared blankly at Kaka, and Kaka realized this after she finished speaking. He asked strangely, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Caroline shook her head after regaining consciousness: "No. When you said these words just now, your expression and imposing manner... It looks like Herong!"
Kaka was stunned for a moment.
"I look like him?"
"That's right." Caroline nodded, and said with certainty, "It feels exactly the same, and it frightened me."
Kaka put his arms around his wife, stroking her back gently with his hands, comforting her.
"Maybe it's because the thought of the Champions League knockout rounds is about to start... excited," he said.
"You have already won the Champions League, my dear, you are also the winner of the European Ballon d'Or...I think your mentality should be much better than Rong's?" Caroline blinked her big eyes and looked at Kaka and said.
Kaka smiled.
He didn't give Caroline a definite answer, but his smile made Caroline think she was right.
Actually, wrong.
In Kaka's heart, his desire for the championship will never fade, let alone the competition with Glory.
This season, Rongguang scored eight goals in the group stage. Such an astonishing scoring ability left Kaka and other players far behind.
Then the only thing I can compete with him is the collective honor.
After all, he is a midfielder, and he has to think about the bigger picture.
I admit that I am not as good as you in personal performance, but in terms of team performance, I can definitely do better than you!
Armed with Caroline's hands, they clenched into fists behind her.

"Actually, Rong, you don't need to be like this... Carrying the win or loss of the whole team on your shoulders... Those media are farting, what do they know? How many people can have a performance like yours? You still have to criticize, it's completely nitpicking!"
After training, Schweinsteiger was persuading Rong Guang in the locker room.
After Rong Guang's answer to the interview yesterday came out, everyone was frightened.
They didn't understand whether Rong Guang wanted to fight against the media that slandered him, or if he really thought so.
He was eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, apparently because he accumulated yellow cards and was unable to play in the second leg.But actually, he's done a good enough job.
If it wasn't for Glory, at the end of the first round, the suspense of advancing to the final might be gone...
Such a good performance, being used as a scapegoat, those media are really unreasonable.
"No, it has nothing to do with what the media said, Schwein." Rong Guang explained to Schweinsteiger. "I just want to win the championship. Maybe those media are right, I should really take responsibility. The failure of last season is indeed my responsibility."
"You shouldn't think like that, it's not anyone's responsibility." Schweinsteiger spread his hands. "You've tried your best..."
At that moment, Ballack came out of the bathroom wiping the water from his hair with a towel — he had started training with the team, but not in a team practice, but alone — and patted Schweinsteiger on the shoulder, interrupting him.
"This sentence is probably the last thing Rong wants to hear, little pig."
Schweinsteiger was a little surprised: "Why? Do your best... Isn't it right?"
"If you try your best and still lose the game, doesn't that mean you're not strong enough?" Ballack asked rhetorically.
Schweinsteiger was stunned suddenly, because he found that what Barack said...was very logically speaking, so reasonable, and he was speechless to refute.
But he never thought about it before.This has been the case since childhood.When they lost a game when they were young, the coach would comfort them and say, "Don't cry, kids, you have tried your best. As long as you give your best in the game, you will have no regrets..."
So he thought that as long as he did his best, even if he lost the game, he would have nothing to regret or be sad about.
After growing up, no one said that to himself, he said to himself.
I lost the game, I have tried my best, so... there is nothing to complain about, just accept the result calmly.
He never felt that there was anything wrong with this view.
But let Barak say this today, when he looked at Rongguang again, he suddenly had a little doubt about this deep-rooted concept...
Even if you try your best, after losing the game, can you face it calmly?Can you not regret it?
In fact, it still does. No one can face and accept failure calmly. Even if Schweinsteiger comforts himself in this way, he will still brood over failure.
But... what can I do if I am brooding?
I tried my best... I tried my best and still didn't win, what else?
Generally speaking, for the vast majority of people, this step of self-questioning and self-answering is over.
They will lick their wounds with a little regret and unwillingness, and then wait for time to heal their wounds.Usually one night is enough.
How else could it be?
Losing is not the end of the world, the sun will rise as usual, life will always go on...
But with Rong Guang, the situation has changed a little.
I tried my best, but I still didn't win here, and I developed a new line.
Like Ballack said, if I tried my best and still didn't win the game, wouldn't that mean I'm not strong enough?
So it is natural to think along this line of thought-if I am strong enough, can I avoid failure?
Well, let's make ourselves stronger.
Therefore, we must work harder, more seriously, harder, and more... Desperately train than before!
That's why Rong Guang canceled his summer vacation and went to a place unknown to everyone to train silently, and then went to Brazil in advance during the winter break, but it was not a vacation, but hard training...
That's why he has been making progress, and his performance is getting better and better. No difficulty can stop him.
No wonder... I see.
It turns out that Rong's thinking is different from ours.
Ballack smiled at Schweinsteiger's stunned look.
Back then he asked Rong Guang: "Sometimes, even if you work hard, you won't be the champion."
Rong Guang replied: "If that's the case, it must be that I haven't worked hard enough."
When I heard this sentence, I was completely dumbfounded.He really didn't expect Rong Guang to say such words, nor did he expect that a very ordinary thing could be interpreted and understood from another angle.
"If I work hard enough, I will win the championship. If I don't win the championship, it must be because I didn't work hard enough."
In other words, "If I am strong enough, I will definitely win the championship. If I don't win the championship, it must be because I am not strong enough. So in order to become stronger, I have to work harder."
At that time, the impact of these words on Barack seemed to open a door for him, and he saw a brand new world completely different from his own.
It turns out... Rong Guang's unreasonable self-confidence is because of this.
It turns out... I haven't worked hard enough!
Because of that experience, Ballack especially understands Schweinsteiger's thoughts now.
Do your best?
This sentence is simply an insult to Rong Guang.
I don't try my best, if I try my best, I must win!

When Schweinsteiger came back to his senses, he looked at Rong Guang, who had already changed his clothes.
He thought of that training camp, so he said to Rong Guang: "Rong, I want... to join your training camp, is that okay?"
Seeing Schweinsteiger say that, Rong Guang was a little surprised.
After he talked about it in the team that time, no teammates asked him to join, so he didn't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, Schweinsteiger took the initiative to ask to join this time.
That didn't surprise Ballack, as Schweinsteiger should if he wanted to.
As for myself, I am already old, so there is no need to meddle in young people's affairs, and it is absolutely impossible for me to persevere with Rong's training intensity.
If Schweinsteiger can become stronger because of this, it would be a blessing to Bayern Munich and German football.
In that case, Loew really needs to thank Sakae...
After being stunned for a moment, Rong Guang happily nodded to Schweinsteiger: "Of course!"
"Thank you so much, remember to notify me when the time comes, don't forget me."
"Okay, Schwein. But... it will cost you your vacation, and you will be very tired..."
"I know, Rong. But I really want to become stronger now, and I also want to do my best to enjoy the victory of the game instead of tasting the bitterness of failure. So... I want to practice with you!"
Schweinsteiger gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, then let's work hard together!"
Hearing the voices of the two young men full of fighting spirit, Barak laughed silently.
Young... so nice.
He's kind of envious of them being so young and still having the energy to do crazy things.
If I were to return to the age of 25, I would definitely be the first to sign up...
Now, the only thing left to do is silently bless them.
