Chapter 975 Still popular?
Because of the banner I saw at the airport before the game, revisiting the old place did not bring Rong Guang a happy mood.
He doesn't enjoy reuniting with old friends at all, because he's here to send them to hell himself.
This is really hard to laugh at.
But despite this, Rong Guang never wavered in his heart, thinking that he should let go and let Bayern Munich qualify from the group.
It never occurred to him.
Rongguang received a call from Ribery the night before the game.
"I read the news, Rong. But I may disappoint you. I'm not here to beg for mercy." Ribery said on the phone.
Rong Guang breathed a sigh of relief: "I never thought about letting the water go."
He was really worried that a friend like Ribery would call to be a lobbyist.
But fortunately, until now, he has directly called Ribery alone, and the others may have avoided calling him to avoid suspicion.If you don't call Rongguang at this time, Rongguang won't be angry, but will feel that the other party is considerate—so as not to make things difficult for yourself.
"Of course, if you let the water go, it's not you. At least it's not the Rong we are familiar with. Do your best, Rong, you must do your best to return to the Allianz Arena. And we will do our best to beat you here. Bayern Munich must participate in the Champions League knockout round, but this opportunity does not come from anyone."
The voice of Ribery's words was not high, but it was sonorous and powerful.
"Okay, Frank. Then let's have a good fight tomorrow." Rong Guang laughed, this was the first time he laughed since he came to Munich today.
"By the way, I almost forgot. I called you to tell you that after the game, we will have a meal together, just the few of us. Don't invite whoever loses this time. We invite you. We are the hosts."
Rong Guang happily accepted Ribery's invitation.

When Rongguang was on the phone with Ribery, in the room of head coach Benitez, his two assistant coaches were discussing Rongguang with him.
"I've noticed that since seeing those Bayern Munich fans at the airport, Rong's mood is not right..." assistant coach Mark Bowen said.
"Well, he suddenly fell silent. I also observed him on the bus and found that he was always distracted and out of tune with the people around him. And it seems that he has never smiled..." Another assistant coach Mauricio Pellegrino also nodded.
"Obviously the banners put up by the Bayern Munich fans affected him," Benitez said.
Everyone knows exactly what happened, because they were all present at the time.
"Will that affect his form tomorrow in the game?" asked Mark Bowen.His main concern is this.
"I don't know..." Pellegrino shook his head. "But it doesn't matter if it's affected? Anyway, we've already qualified, so even if we lose this match, it won't affect us much..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Benitez.
"probably not."
"Huh?" Pellegrino looked at Benitez strangely.
"It should not affect Rong's state." Benitez repeated. "And Mauricio is right, we don't want anything in this game, so it doesn't matter."

After Ribery hung up the phone, Ram beside him suddenly asked: "How is it? What did Rong say?"
He and Schweinsteiger had been sitting next to Ribery, but neither of them said a word when Ribery was talking to Rong Guang.
"He said he wouldn't release the water."
"Look, I just said it." Schweinsteiger turned his head and spread his hands to Ram. "This is him."
"So this game is really not good for us..." Rahm mused, and then he sighed. "Oh, I really don't want to be an enemy of this person..."
"Who can blame this? Don't you dare to say that it's not Uli's?" Schweinsteiger snorted.
"Don't think too much, let's try to beat Rong. And other Manchester City players may not be willing to fight with us. As long as we put on a desperate posture, maybe other Manchester City players will retreat." Ribery analyzed. "We don't have to beat Rong, we just need to beat Manchester City."

At the Allianz Arena on the second day, more than two hours before the start of the game, the square outside the stadium was full of people.
Most of them are Bayern Munich fans. They hold various slogans and banners and show them to the cameras.
It's all about cheering for Bayern Munich.
Although many of these fans hated Uli Hoeness for letting go of Glory, they hadn't forgotten which team they were fans of. Naturally, they wanted to cheer for the team they supported at such a time.
Moreover, for Manchester City, they have already qualified ahead of schedule, even if they lose this game, there is no loss.Therefore, Bayern Munich fans will not have the slightest psychological burden to beat the glorious Manchester City.
This is like those Bayern Munich fans who went to the airport to plead with Rongguang euphemistically. They even felt that it was normal for Rongguang to lose the game. It was the best of both worlds. With such a good thing, how could Rongguang not do it?Not only did it take care of the feelings of the fans of the former club, but it didn't do any harm to the current team I played for... Why not do it?
Of course, the banner at the airport once again appeared outside the Allianz Arena, and it became the focus of media attention as soon as it appeared.
The video reporters, carrying cameras and video cameras, gathered together one after another.
Shooting madly at this banner.
Among the vast ocean of Bayern Munich fans, Manchester City fans cherish it like an endangered wild animal.
They are also very low-key, and they did not wave Manchester City's flags and slogans to steal the limelight with Bayern Munich fans.These Manchester City fans who came from England gathered together, just quietly watching the fanatical Bayern Munich fans, just like tourists, only the Manchester City jerseys on them can let everyone know their identities.
These fans were also surrounded by a group of German policemen. They came to protect Manchester City fans, but they were also here to guard against Manchester City fans.
In world football, football hooligans in England and Germany are very well-known. This cannot be blamed on the German police for thinking too much. They must prevent all possible dangers.
These Manchester City fans were separated by the police and Bayern Munich fans. At that time, they will enter through a passage and go straight to the stands where they are, so as to avoid contact with other Bayern Munich fans.
After all, in this critical battle related to the life and death of Bayern Munich, the fans of Bayern Munich are very emotional and prone to conflicts.
In case there is a conflict between the fans of the two sides, hooligans against hooligans, wouldn't that be fatal?
※※※
When the players of both sides were waiting to play in the channel, the live broadcast began to broadcast the list of the two sides for this game.
The first to report out is the Manchester City player.
The Bayern Munich fans in the stands did not boo either. Apart from this game, Manchester City and Bayern Munich had almost no intersection, and there was no grudge between the two sides.
So even though Manchester City is Bayern Munich's opponent in this life-and-death battle, Bayern Munich fans did not lose their minds and booed Manchester City-of course, no one can guarantee what happens when the game is in progress.
When the live broadcast called Rong Guang's name, there was a huge cheer in the stands of the Allianz Stadium.
The cheers were comparable to those of Bayern Munich players when their names were called.
In the passage, Joe Hart said to Rong Guang standing in front of him: "Captain, you are really welcome here!"
He wanted to compliment Rong Guang.
But Rong Guang's reaction was not strong, he just smiled and didn't say anything.
He doesn't know now whether these Bayern Munich fans really remember him, or just to please him, let him show mercy in the game for a while...
"Listen to this voice, the fans of Bayern Munich still love Rong!" Marcel Leff said emotionally.
At this time, the TV broadcast also cut to the scene in the channel, giving Rong Guang a close-up shot.
As the Bayern Munich fans cheered him on, Rong Guang looked deadpan and serious in the camera.
Maybe...too serious.
There seems to be a deliberate alienation in order to maintain objectivity.
Subsequently, the live radio began broadcasting the home team's starting roster.
Every Bayern Munich player can get a huge cheer, even comparable to the glory.Some of these people may not be treated like this in normal times, but this game is different.Bayern Munich fans hope to encourage the team in this way and make them feel that the fans are fighting side by side with them.
At this time, no matter how much dissatisfaction you have with the team, it is not the time to vent it.
Let's unite as one, let's get over this difficulty first.
If there is any problem, you have to wait for the game to end.
In any case, Bayern Munich must qualify for the Champions League knockout round!
If such a team hadn't even made it to the Champions League group stage, it would be... too shameful!
Rong Guang listened carefully, and Franck Ribery received louder cheers. It seemed that he was doing much better in this team than before, so he was relieved.
Then he restrained his mind and waited to appear.
When the shouts over the Allianz Arena gradually died down, the referee led three members of his referee team out of the referee lounge, passed between the two teams, and came to the front of the team with the football in their arms.
"Gentlemen, please follow up." He said to the players on both sides.
He then walked to the court first, while players from both teams followed him, moving outwards.
Meanwhile, the Champions League anthem blared on the live radio.
Amidst choruses in multiple UEFA official languages, players from both sides stepped onto the field with their heads held high, and there was a loud cheer from the stands at the Allianz Arena.
The game is finally about to start!
