Chapter 612: Champion is not the only criterion for the Golden Globe Award!
Bayern's performance in the narrow 5-3 win over Werder Bremen sparked heated controversy.
On the one hand, the attack in the frontcourt became more and more sharp, and the organization and creativity of the midfield became more and more outstanding, which allowed Bayern to suppress Werder Bremen throughout the game, forcing Bremen to launch a counterattack and only have six shots in the whole game.
But on the other hand, Bayern exposed its biggest weakness in this game.
Werder Bremen had six shots in the game and scored three goals. The problem was that Rensing only blocked one shot within the goal range of Bremen in the whole game. Yes, the one that led to the goal in the first half.
In other words, throughout the game, as long as Werder Bremen shot on target, it would be a goal.
This is really outrageous!
So much so that Werder Bremen head coach Schaff expressed regretfully in the post-match press conference that Werder Bremen's players were too conservative in shooting tonight, otherwise they could have scored a few more goals.
When Schaff said this, Heynckes' expression was obviously very embarrassed.
However, when answering questions from the media, Heynckes still expressed his support for Rensing.
He said that Rensing was indeed not in good shape tonight, but this is normal. Every player will have ups and downs in form, and poor performance in one or two games will not affect the player's position in the team.
Heynckes said that he still trusts Rensing and still believes that he will become an excellent goalkeeper and an important player in Bayern's first team.
Especially when the media asked whether Rensing would continue to start in the next game?
Heynckes answered almost without thinking: "Of course, we need to help him get back to form, which requires him to continue to participate in the game. I also believe that after a few days of adjustment, he will be able to recover quickly."
At first glance, there's nothing wrong with it, right?
Heynckes still has full confidence in Rensing and still has high hopes for him.
Even in Bayern's locker room, the attitude towards Rensing was still very friendly because the game was not lost.
Rensing apologized in the locker room after the game and was forgiven by his teammates.
It seemed like everything was fine and the crisis was over.
But in fact, Renxing can't go back.
Heynckes said that Rensing would continue to start in the next game because the next game was the German Cup, and Bayern would play at home against Nuremberg, which was relegated to the German 2nd Division. Originally, Neuer was scheduled to start, but suddenly it became Rensing.
However, Neuer will probably laugh, because the German Cup was given to Rensing, so he will definitely start in the next Bundesliga. Even as long as he performs well in the league, when they go to St. Petersburg, Russia in the middle of the week to challenge Zenit away, it is almost certain that Neuer will still be the starting player.
Professional football is cruel. Heynckes is responsible for his position as coach and Bayern's players are also responsible for the game. No one wants something like Rensing to happen again.
Everyone makes mistakes, which is understandable, but the problem is that Rensing’s performance in this game was really too poor.
So much so that even Yuan didn't know how to help him round it off.
…
Despite the understanding of Heynckes and the Bayern locker room, the outside media still attacked.
It is really hard to accept that after carrying the halo of Kahn's successor for so many years, Rensing put in such a performance just when Kahn just retired.
The media and fans believe that Rensing's performance is not worthy of Bayern and suggest supporting Neuer to take the position.
Bayern's first-team goalkeeper coach Sepp Maier came out to defend Rensing, believing that he did have problems, but he should be given more patience to help him continue to grow.
After all, they have trained for many years and have deep feelings for each other. For both public and private reasons, Sepp Meier should come forward.
The famous player Netzer also came out to support Rensing, believing that a slump in one or two games does not mean anything. Rensing is still the most promising young goalkeeper in German football along with Neuer and Adler. He called on the media and fans to give him more support.
But everyone can see that after an extremely poor performance, Rensing no longer has the leading advantage in the competition with Neuer as before, but is falling behind Neuer.
Of course, once the opportunity is given, whether Neuer can seize it depends on his own ability.
…
After the fifth round of the league, the game between Bayern and Werder Bremen was indeed exciting and thrilling, but Dortmund was the coldest.
Klopp's team went to challenge Hoffenheim away from home. As a result, Ibisevic's goal, just five minutes into the game, opened the scoring for Hoffenheim and broke the deadlock on the field.
Hoffenheim then scored three goals in a row, with headers and feet, and eventually defeated Dortmund 4-1 at home, creating an upset.
Of course, this makes people sigh more about Dortmund's decline.
Once upon a time, this was a team that swept across Europe, but now, it has been in a slump in the Bundesliga and was beaten into this state by a newly promoted team. It is really a pity.
Ibisevic scored twice, scoring his seventh goal in the Bundesliga this season.
Although he scored seven goals in five rounds, which is still behind Su Dong's nine goals in five rounds, Ibisevic's performance is still quite amazing. Some media even began to hype it publicly, believing that if he continues to maintain this scoring momentum, he will definitely catch up with Su Dong.
Because Bayern is fighting on multiple fronts and Su Dong particularly values the Champions League, they will naturally be distracted by the Bundesliga, while Hoffenheim only needs to focus on the Bundesliga, which is a huge advantage.
…………
…………
On the evening of September 24th, Allianz Arena, Munich.
In the second round of the German Cup, Bayern will host Nuremberg at home.
As Heynckes promised, Rensing appeared in the starting lineup.
This was a game without much suspense. Klose scored the first goal for Bayern just seven minutes into the game.
After that, Bayern launched a series of attacks on Nuremberg and frequently created opportunities.
The best news of this game is that Ribery returned from injury.
The French scarface came on as a substitute in the second half and instigated an attack in just two minutes. Otero assisted Olic to score, helping Bayern to win 2-0 against Nuremberg.
Su Dong was not even on the roster for this game. He sat in the stands and watched the game accompanied by Wang Chuqing.

While Bayern was competing in the German Cup, far away in Paris, France, French Football Magazine held a special press conference for this year's Ballon d'Or, invited many media reporters to participate, and announced a series of new rule details.
Among them, the Olympic champion caused the most discussion.
This is mainly directed at Messi. He won the 2008 Olympics, but many media believed that the Olympic championship was not of high enough quality. However, some people believed that this was an Olympic champion, a real world champion.
This time, French Football Magazine announced the selection rules, believing that the Olympic champion does not have the same value as the Champions League champion.
In other words, the value of the Olympic championship is lower than that of the Champions League or even the league championship.
However, the new editor-in-chief of French Football magazine, Denis Chomire, also said that championship honors only account for half of the first of the four selection criteria, which will be taken into consideration, but the weight is not as important as imagined.
Of course, this sounds a bit high-sounding. In fact, everyone knows that only championships have weight.
In 2006, with Su Dong's performance, he was sure to win the Ballon d'Or, but didn't he lose to Cannavaro in the end?
In the final analysis, it is because Cannavaro won the World Cup for Italy. Can this mean that championships are useless? It should be said that championships are not the only criterion for the Ballon d'Or, but if you don't have a championship, forget it!
Another thing is that Chomier said that since last year, France Football magazine has invited media from some countries in other continents to participate in the selection of the Ballon d'Or, in addition to media representatives from the 52 UEFA member states. This year will be the same, but the voting rules will be modified to make the selection more authoritative.
Another thing worth noting is that this year's shortlist of candidates will be reduced from the original fifty to thirty and will be announced in late October.
…
Public opinion generally pays attention to the series of revisions made by French Football Magazine.
Su Dong is undoubtedly the favorite, but that doesn't mean he has no competitors.
The Spanish newspaper El País previously conducted a questionnaire survey on the Ballon d'Or selection and concluded that Spanish national team captain Casillas is Sudong's number one opponent in the election, with the support of 40% of fans.
However, Casillas has a natural flaw, which is the goalkeeper position, but with Cannavaro's example, no one will doubt whether Casillas should be elected.
There is another popular candidate for the Spanish national team, and that is Torres.
Torres became famous for scoring the winning goal in the European Cup final and his outstanding performance in the Premier League, becoming a hot candidate for the Ballon d'Or.
Another one is Spanish midfielder Xavi, but his problem is that as a midfielder, he is naturally at a disadvantage in this regard. Xavi's contribution is indeed outstanding, but how many fans recognize him? In addition to the three players of the Spanish national team, there are two other popular candidates, Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United and Messi from Barcelona. Both of them are hot favorites.
The above five people are the ones that the media focuses on. They are Su Dong’s biggest competitors for the Golden Globe Award, and it is almost certain that the top three will be among these five people, which has attracted more attention from the media and fans.
Bayern is also actively promoting Su Dong, especially the German media.
The Bundesliga has not won the Ballon d'Or for many years, and has never even won the FIFA World Player of the Year. If Su Dong can win the award, it will not only be an honor for Su Dong personally, not only an honor for the Bayern team, but also an honor for the entire Bundesliga and even German football.
In this case, the interests of the German media are the same, and they are all pointing their guns outward, that is, firmly supporting Su Dong! The head coach of the German national team, Loew, and the captain, Ballack, have publicly expressed their support for Su Dong in interviews with the media, believing that he deserves this honor.
Many media and fans are also full of expectations, and want to know whether Su Dong can win the double Footballer of the Year award again after two years?
