Chapter 34: Another village, Derby, Lower Saxony(1/2)
After the game against Monchengladbach, the atmosphere within the Wolfsburg team became visibly tense.
Especially several players who performed unsatisfactorily in the game.
Except for the confident Bendtner who still went his own way, the others kept their heads down and remained silent.
Of course they know what their disastrous performance has cost Wolfsburg.
Now they have no face to raise their heads to meet people.
Dieter Heijing did not bring any players to participate in the post-match press conference this time.
He went to participate in silence, and then came back in silence.
Although Dieter Heijing didn't say anything, the players in the locker room knew it.
Dieter Heijing must have encountered difficulties from many reporters at the press conference.
After the last game, it was announced in a high-profile manner that Wolfsburg will fight for the championship on three fronts.
The result was a draw three days later, and Bayern Munich overtook the points.
Such a popular slap in the face will definitely be whipped up repeatedly by various media outlets who take advantage of the situation.
Dieter Heijing did not bring his players to the press conference to avoid affecting the mentality of his core players.
At this time, Dieter Heijing was no longer as angry as he was on the sidelines.
He looked calmly at every player in the locker room.
"Don't be silent. I found a restaurant. Let's go and try some local specialties in Mönchengladbach. After dinner, let's rush back to Wolfsburg overnight."
"The current situation is definitely something that no one wants to encounter, but since it has happened, we must accept and face it."
"I'm not a passionate coach like Klopp, and I don't know how to cheer you up."
"I'm just a little reluctant. Thinking about it on the bright side, even if there is no Bundesliga, we still have two championships to compete for: the German Cup and the Europa League."
"Those media said that we had a chance to win the Triple Crown, but now we took the initiative to throw away this opportunity."
"But what I want to say is that a lead is just a lead. No matter how long you have been leading, as long as the final champion is not you, then you have never won it."
"After coming to Wolfsburg, I have never achieved any decent honors. I have never won, and I have nothing to lose."
"The vast majority of you are like me."
"So from now on, please put away your unwillingness and powerlessness, and be as strong as a warrior. We are still on the road, and we still have a chance to run towards the championship!"
"Now everyone, please pack up quickly and let's go have dinner together. It's getting late."
After Dieter Heijing finished speaking, he turned around and was the first to walk out of the locker room.
Behind him are the coaching staff and Wolfsburg players.
Everyone seemed unusually calm and held their heads high.
Although there are still strange emotions lingering in their chests, they will not lose hope again until the final result is announced.
After returning to Wolfsburg, Dieter Heijing once again gave the players a day and a half off.
They will go to the city where Bielefeld is located in three days to play in the German Cup semi-finals.
Although time is still very tight, considering the physical condition of the players.
There is no way, we must give the players enough rest time.
The next day, Zhao Jinge, who was resting at home, received a call from Mendes again.
Mendes will fly to Wolfsburg this afternoon.
He will have a face-to-face meeting with Volkswagen’s senior executives responsible for business cooperation.
Sign the letter of intent for cooperation and formally begin finalizing various details of the contract.
For example, the contract amount, when the endorsement will start, and when the filming will take place.
After Zhao Jinge achieves more achievements, will there be any reward terms for the amount to be increased?
What level of publicity resources will the Volkswagen Group invest in Zhao Jinge?
Zhao Jinge let Mendes handle all these matters.
When professional people do professional things, Mendes will definitely ask for a reasonable price.
As for signing the contract, Zhao Jinge will definitely ask an authoritative lawyer to accompany him.
On April 29th, Wolfsburg went to the Schüco Arena to challenge their German Cup semi-final opponent Bielefeld away.
Wolfsburg played away from home, and Dieter Heijing simply dismissed De Bruyne and other main players who needed more time to recover.
He stayed at Wolfsburg and was directly excluded from the squad.
Let them continue to have a good rest at home.
Let Zhao Jinge, who has returned to his peak condition after three days of rest, lead the team on the expedition.
On the way to the away game, the Wolfsburg players in the bus were talking and laughing.
What makes Wolfsburg, who was full of unwillingness in the past few days, so happy?
Of course, their biggest rival, Bayern Munich lost!
There is simply no way out but there is no way out, but there is another village with hidden flowers and bright flowers!
Just one day ago at the same time, Bayern Munich suffered an upset loss in another German Cup semi-final!
After 120 minutes of fierce battle at home, Bayern lost to Dortmund in a penalty shootout!
Lost the qualification to advance to the German Cup final!
Bayern Munich's deteriorating injury situation finally ushered in its first bitter fruit, dealing a heavy blow to Bayern's ambition to compete for the championship.
For such a situation, Wolfsburg is naturally overjoyed!
Although Dortmund beat Bayern Munich, in Wolfsburg's view.
Playing against Dortmund in the final is naturally easier than playing against Bayern Munich.
Although one should not announce victory before a game, Wolfsburg is certainly confident of securing victory against opponents from the Bundesliga 2.
Now Wolfsburg players are actively paying attention to news related to Bayern Munich.
Now that Bayern has already failed in the German Cup.
In the following league, they faced fourth-ranked Leverkusen and fifth-ranked Augsburg, two strong teams with complete lineups.

Then two more crotch pulls are something worth looking forward to!
Arriving at the Schüco Arena, after the game started, Wolfsburg's tactics also seemed very concise and bright.
The two centers, Bendtner and Zhao Jinge, one high and one fast, were eating cakes in the penalty area.
Arnold holds the ball and organizes, and Gilavoji defends in the middle.
Caligiuri and Schürrle flew together from both wings and passed for bombing.
Although Bielefeld works hard at home, the gap in physical strength cannot be smoothed out by hard work.
In a real-life competition, Bielefeld was completely at a disadvantage.
Wolfsburg's lineup of half main force and half substitute may have a hard time beating other strong Bundesliga teams.
After all, their defense lines are not vegetarian.
But bullying Bielefeld, who bullies Bundesliga 2 in the German Cup, is a piece of cake.
Zhao Jinge scored twice with a head kick in the first half and was replaced directly during the halftime break.
Schürrle and Arnold each scored an icing on the cake goal in the second half.
At the end of the game, Wolfsburg beat Bielefeld 4-0 in an away game!
Reached the final of the German Cup!
The only thing standing between them and the championship is Dortmund, which is much weaker than before this year.
The day after Zhao Jinge returned to Wolfsburg with the team, Zhao Jinge also ushered in a milestone moment for himself.
After nearly three months of hard work, rewards obtained through daily training and competition.
Zhao Jinge's comprehensive rating has increased from 83 points when facing Frankfurt in early February.
It has grown to the current 88 points and has grown to the limit of the current template.
After nearly a season of hard work, Zhao Jinge has improved from just reaching the passing level of the German Second Division to the level of Torres at the peak.
Coupled with Ruud van Nistelrooy's skills and the two features provided by the system, it can be said that he is already a super enhanced version of Torres.
"The system opens my details panel!"
Zhao Jinge couldn't wait to start checking his detailed panel.
Strength: 90 Acceleration: 92 Speed: 92
