Chapter 627 The winner is not me?
November 9th, evening, Veltins Arena.
In the twelfth round of the Bundesliga, Bayern will challenge Schalke 04 away.
This is the first time that Neuer has returned to this stadium since joining Bayern. In addition, he has been in very good form recently and made several heroic saves in the game against Real Madrid, all of which allowed him to continue to start in the league.
Just three minutes into the game, Modric made a one-two pass with Robben on the right, broke into the right side of the penalty area, made a lob pass to the middle, and Su Dong overpowered Westermann and scored with a header from close range, opening the scoring for Bayern!
One to zero!
In the 31st minute, Su Dong and Ribery made another wall pass on the left side of the penalty area. Ribery passed the ball, Su Dong returned to the penalty area, and the French scar-faced man followed up with a fierce shot, once again penetrating Schalke 04's goal.
Two to zero! This score remained until the end of the game.
Bayern reversed Schalke 04 2-0 away and won the game.
This is Bayern's twelfth consecutive victory in the Bundesliga this season. If the Champions League group stage and the German Cup are included, Bayern's winning streak in the new season can be extended to 17 games, setting a record in Bayern's history.
It can be said that the current Bayern team gives people a sense of strong dominance and performs very stably.
At the post-match press conference, Heynckes publicly stated that he is full of confidence in the current Bayern team and he firmly believes that Bayern will still be able to achieve results in the Bundesliga and the Champions League this season.
At the same time, Heynckes did not forget to appeal for Su Dong again, believing that he should be awarded the double Footballer of the Year award.
"He is the most perfect center on the planet, impeccable!"

On the afternoon of November 15th, in the 13th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Borussia Mönchengladbach away.
This is one of the few weeks since the start of the league that Bayern can rest in the middle of the week, which also gives Bayern players a precious breathing space, but Heynckes is unlucky.
Before coaching Bayern, the old man's coaching record at Borussia Mönchengladbach was quite poor, so much so that when he returned to Borussia Mönchengladbach now, the fans booed him.
There is no way. Many Borussia Mönchengladbach fans still believe that the team's relegation was caused by Heynckes.
This old man's coaching ability is too poor! Especially seeing that he is so successful in Bayern, the resentment towards him is even greater.
Why is it that you are so bad at coaching your hometown team, but so good at coaching Bayern? Isn't it because you are not willing to try your best? ...
After the game started, the two teams were evenly matched.
It was not until the 21st minute that Ribery intercepted the ball on the left and launched a counterattack.
Marcelo made a run-in, received the pass from Ribery, and went straight into the penalty area. He broke through the defender and made a triangle pass in front of the baseline. Su Dong easily followed up and shot in from the front of the small penalty area, making it one to zero!
Just five minutes later, Su Dong passed the ball in the penalty area, creating a great opportunity for Klose, but the German center forward failed to hit the ball correctly due to interference from the defensive players and missed the excellent opportunity.
But then, Bayern launched a fierce attack and gave Borussia Mönchengladbach a beating.
In the 38th minute, Su Dong cooperated with Lahm on the right. Lahm was pulled down by the defender in the penalty area, earning Bayern a penalty kick opportunity. In the end, Su Dong gave it to Klose.
The German center forward finally scored a goal in one fell swoop. He was so excited that he ran all over the field and almost died of joy.
2-0! After the second half, Ribery broke through with the ball and made a foul in the penalty area, which earned him another penalty. The French winger took the penalty and scored, further widening the score to 3-0! In the 79th minute of the game, Marin planned an attack and Fland scored, pulling one back for the host team.
In the end, Bayern defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-1 away.
This is also the first time that Neuer has lost the goal in recent games.
It can be said that with his outstanding performance in recent times, Neuer has basically secured the position of Bayern's number one goalkeeper. Although Rensing is unwilling, it is difficult to shake Neuer's main position.
…
After Bayern defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach, the International Players' Federation also announced the world's best player for the 2007-2008 season. Su Dong, who helped Bayern win the Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup and achieved the first triple crown in German history, was unsurprisingly elected as the world's best player.
Although the FIFPro Best Player Award is not as authoritative as the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year, especially since there has never been an awards ceremony after the first one, it is still an award established by an authoritative organization and has some weight.
Many media also believe that UEFA Player of the Year and FIFPro Player of the Year are the indicators of the two supreme awards.
And now, Su Dong has won both major awards, which makes people more convinced that Su Dong will be the biggest beneficiary of all major awards this year.
After announcing that Su Dong was named the FIFPro best player, Bild also actively promoted Su Dong further.
This authoritative German media launched a signature campaign to build momentum for Su Dong's goal scoring. They set up signature areas in major cities in Germany and even Europe, calling on all fans to take to the streets to sign for Su Dong and support him in his bid for the 2008 World Footballer of the Year and European Golden Ball.
This event has undoubtedly received support from the Bundesliga, Bayern and many sponsors, as well as the support of a large number of fans. In just less than two days after its launch, it has attracted tens of thousands of fans' signatures and messages in several cities including Munich, Berlin and Frankfurt.
All of these fans believe that 2008 will belong to Su Dong, and this will be the pride of the Bundesliga! As Bild further expands the number of cities where signatures are sought, the number of signatures is also rising rapidly.
In just one week, it attracted more than 500,000 fans' signatures, created a grand momentum for Su Dong and caused a huge response throughout Europe.
Germany's Bild believes that the fact that Su Dong has received support from so many fans fully demonstrates his influence in today's world football, and based on his performance in the past year, Su Dong deserves the award.
"We can't think of any reason why France Football magazine shouldn't give him the Ballon d'Or!"
…
In addition to the strong support from the media, many famous stars in German football also came forward to support Su Dong.
The three giants of Bayern have frequently spoken out in the media, believing that Su Dong should be recognized by the Golden Ball Award.
Zidane also stood up to support his friend and believed that Su Dong should win the award.
"In the past year, no matter from which aspect, his performance has been the best. I think he is the most likely to win the Ballon d'Or. He is the biggest favorite."
Zidane revealed that Sudong is the superstar that all head coaches dream of. He has a strength that is unmatched by other players of the same generation, and he also has a tenacious character, which makes him aggressive on the court.
Zidane believes that Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka all have their own advantages, but overall, Su Dong is the best and has the best performance.
The British Sun revealed that after receiving investment from wealthy people in the Middle East, Manchester City will make a large number of signings during the winter break of this season, and has set its sights on superstars such as Sudong and Kaka, with Sudong being the first to be targeted.
Because, in Manchester City, the two core executives, Soriano and Begiristain, have a close relationship with Su Dong, which was a key factor in Su Dong joining Manchester City.
However, the Sun's revelations were not only denied by Bayern officials, but also rejected by Sudong's agent Mendes.
Mendes said that Sudong has always been keeping a low profile to avoid being involved in transfers and does not want to be involved in rumors with other teams besides Bayern. He just wants to concentrate on playing for Bayern and realize the goals and promises he made when he joined Bayern.
Mendes also revealed that Bayern is planning to negotiate with Su Dong. "Every professional player wants a contract that matches his status and performance on the court. Su Dong is no exception. Bayern is preparing for this and we will start negotiations in the near future."
There is no doubt that both Mendes and Bayern are revealing one thing, that is, Su Dong will not leave Bayern in the short term.

On November 22, in the 14th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern faced Cottbus at home.
Although they conceded a goal in the 25th minute of the game, Su Dong assisted Robben to equalize the score.
Afterwards, Pepe, Klose and Sudon scored successively, helping Bayern to reverse Cottbus 4-1.
…
In the middle of the week, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Bayern went to Borisov, Belarus, to challenge BATE Borisov away.
Since Bayern had already advanced as the group leader, the team played this game with a full rotation and substitute lineup.
In the snowy Borisov, Bayern scored a goal for the team in the seventh minute through Klose.
But after that, the team played very hard and Demichelis was injured and left the game.
As a guest in cold Borisov, the biggest enemy is not only the opponents on the court, but also the freezing weather.
Fortunately, Bayern does not need to fight to the death with its opponents.
In the end, the team defeated BATE Borisov 1-0 away and returned triumphantly.
In another match that took place almost at the same time, Real Madrid encountered tenacious sniping from their opponents in Zenit St. Petersburg, which is further north and colder. The situation was dangerous and they almost capsized on the road.
In the end, Real Madrid drew 0-0 with Zenit, dragging the suspense between the two sides to the last round.
The key to who will advance between Real Madrid and Zenit lies in Bayern's hands.
…
Back to the Bundesliga, in the fifteenth round, Bayern challenged Leverkusen away.
Su Dong scored a goal for Bayern in the 59th minute, and Klose scored another goal. In the end, Bayern defeated Bayer 2-0 away and won three points again.
This also surprised many German media and fans, and they all said that Bayern has the possibility of winning the second half of the championship with a perfect record.
But Su Dong was more concerned about one thing.
In the early hours of December 2, the latest issue of France Football magazine will be on the market, and the winner of the Ballon d'Or will be announced.
But why hasn't anyone come to take pictures yet?
Could it be that I am not the winner?
Su Dong was somewhat nervous.
