Chapter 676: Real Madrid has the will, Su Dong has no dream
After a sleepless night of partying, Bayern players finally woke up around noon.
Everyone had a smile on their face, even Podolski, who was about to leave the team, looked very happy.
It's normal. After all, he won two trebles at Bayern. Looking at the history of German football, how many people have this record? Even if he got it for free, it was an honor!
After a night of partying, everyone was hungry. Plus, the league was over and everyone had no more restrictions. So they ate as much as they could in the hotel restaurant, eating everything they could and couldn't eat.
The coaching staff and team doctors also turned a blind eye and allowed the players to indulge themselves.
After a season of hard work and months of effort, they finally managed to defend the treble, but they still can’t allow the players to eat and drink? After lunch, it was time to visit the set.
…
After the game ended last night, German Chancellor Angela Merkel visited Bayern's locker room and met with all the players. She also expressed her gratitude to Su Dong and said that she saw the tenacity and diligence of the Chinese people from Su Dong.
Merkel's remarks were also reported by major media around the world this morning. Chinese media also paid considerable attention to them, believing that this was an affirmation of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
The country's top leader also spoke with Su Dong on the phone after the game, expressing his affirmation and pride in Su Dong's achievements in the European league. He also mentioned that during his visits abroad, the country's leaders had many times encountered leaders of other countries who took the initiative to mention Su Dong, and believed that Su Dong is now not only a banner of Chinese football, but also a banner of the Chinese people.
The leader encouraged Su Dong, hoping that he would continue his efforts and achieve even greater success, so that more countries and more people in the world would get to know China and the Chinese people again.
Su Dong thanked the national leaders for their recognition over the phone, and promised that he would not slack off and would continue to work hard to lead Bayern to win the historic third consecutive Champions League title.
This congratulatory message also appeared on major domestic news and television stations early this morning.
Wang Qingquan is the head of a well-known domestic state-owned enterprise. After hearing about this, he told Su Dong that this was already a very high-level treatment. From now on, Su Dong will be a banner of China to the world.
In fact, Su Dong has appeared in the news during the foreign visits of state leaders in recent years. The most recent time was at the end of January 2009, when the Prime Minister visited Berlin, Germany. At that time, German Chancellor Merkel personally arranged a project for the Prime Minister to go from Berlin to Hamburg to watch the 18th round of the Bundesliga after the winter break, the match between Bayern and Hamburg.
This was originally highly anticipated by domestic media, but unfortunately, it was missed in the end due to time constraints.
Earlier, in 2007, when leaders visited Spain, France and the United Kingdom, Su Dong became a topic mentioned by leaders of various countries. At that time, he was transferring from Barcelona to Bayern, which caused a lot of sensation. Spain regretted missing out on Su Dong, and France and the United Kingdom both regretted that Ligue 1 and the Premier League failed to recruit Su Dong.
As for other various international diplomatic occasions, Su Dong appeared countless times.
The most recent time was in May, when the president of the football kingdom of Brazil visited China. In an interview with the media, he said that the most well-known Chinese in Brazil is Su Dongbo.
"He has an extraordinary influence among young Brazilians. He is the best football player in the world, and in the past, this honor has always belonged to Brazil. We admire Su Dong's performance very much. We have countless young people who are learning from him and hope to play like him. He is a role model for all football players."
The Brazilian president even formally proposed in a diplomatic occasion that he hoped China would arrange a diplomatic visit and football exchange for Su Dong to Brazil. "We will definitely welcome his arrival with the highest etiquette!"
This piece of news caused a huge response in the country at the time. It was only at this time that many media and fans suddenly realized that the sport of football had such an amazing influence around the world, even reaching the level of national diplomacy.
…
This is true for Su Dong personally, and the Bayern team defended the treble and was also highly respected in Germany.
From Chancellor Merkel to the Munich City Government, officials at all levels, big and small, all praised Bayern highly. Especially the guests invited to attend the Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, they all arrived at the hotel where Bayern was staying to visit at noon the day after the game.
Merkel was very busy and returned to Germany early in the morning, but she still left a senior government official in attendance.
Su Dong undoubtedly became the protagonist again and was warmly welcomed by people from all walks of life in Germany.

At 6 p.m., Bayern arrived in Munich on a special plane.
At this time, a series of grand welcoming ceremonies had already been prepared outside the airport, as if to welcome the soldiers who had gone out to fight and returned triumphantly. The enthusiastic fans had already surrounded the airport.
Even the airport staff who were supposed to maintain order couldn't help but join in the star-chasing.
Bayern also prepared T-shirts for the players to celebrate their defense of the treble. All the players and coaching staff walked off the plane wearing celebratory T-shirts and received thunderous applause and cheers from the fans on the scene. The scene was extremely grand.
So far this season, Bayern has won all the championship trophies, including the German Super Cup, European Super Cup, Club World Cup, Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League, a total of six trophies. Even if the German Super Cup, which is not officially recognized, is deducted, there are still five championship trophies.
When all these trophies were placed at the welcoming ceremony on the airport tarmac, the atmosphere on the scene was pushed to a climax.
Lahm got off the plane holding the Champions League trophy, put the Big Ear Cup together with the previous trophies, and then took photos with the players with these trophies.
Originally, the club hoped that Su Dong could also bring the major trophies he won this season, but considering that Su Dong has won too many trophies, he has really won too many awards. He has more than a dozen important and influential world-class trophies. If they are really put together with Bayern's championship trophy, wouldn't it be a bit of a distraction?
Therefore, in the end, Su Dong was only arranged to hold the trophy for the best player of the final that he had just won at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
After a round of celebrations at the airport, everyone at Bayern boarded an open-top bus.
The bus had been specially modified and the trophy was placed in the most conspicuous position on the roof. The players and coaches all stood on the bus and slowly left the airport amid the thunderous cheers of Bayern fans, drove into the city and began a parade to celebrate.
Along the way, more and more fans came to celebrate, and the closer they got to the city, the more fans blocked the way, causing the bus to move as slowly as a snail. Countless fans followed behind, celebrating with joy.
At this moment, the streets and alleys of Munich have been paralyzed by traffic.
The whole city was filled with Bayern fans who were crazy about their lives, and their ears were filled with the sounds of the championship, celebrations, and cheers.
The Allianz Arena, the final stop of this championship celebration, was already packed with people.
Security had to repeatedly bar everyone from entering the stadium because it was overwhelmed.
Bayern originally planned to arrive at the Allianz Arena to celebrate at 8 p.m., but the time had to be postponed again and again.
In the end, there was no timetable at all, no time to arrive and the celebrations would begin.
There’s no way, Munich fans are too crazy!
No one knows how long this championship celebration will last tonight.

…………
While Soviet Union and Bayern Munich were holding a grand parade to celebrate their victory in Munich, far away in Madrid, Real Madrid president-elect Florentino Perez was preparing to take office after his election.
Yes, without any opponents, Florentino became the only candidate without any suspense and was re-elected as the new president of Real Madrid.
There is not much time left until June 1st when I will take office.
Florentino has been very busy these days, with a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. What bothers Florentino the most is that Su Dong has not yet agreed to transfer to Real Madrid.
As a successful entrepreneur, Florentino knows the art of campaigning better than anyone else. He also knows the reason why Real Madrid fans elected him, which is to recreate the glory of the Galacticos era and make Real Madrid once again full of superstars.
How to do it? Kaka has been signed, this is no longer news, the transfer fee is 65 million euros.
This is Florentino's first gift to Real Madrid fans.
But there are still many details to be dealt with in the superstar's contract. Now Florentino is just a candidate and is not qualified to represent Real Madrid in negotiations. Although there have been contacts, many procedures cannot be processed, so Kaka's transfer will take some time.
The same is true for Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo. He has also agreed to join Real Madrid, but he needs some time to deal with private business matters, so for the time being, Real Madrid has no way to make an official announcement.
Florentino originally wanted to find a breakthrough from Su Dong.
Su Dong is different from Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo. Even if it is just a rumor, as long as Su Dong says a few words to show goodwill to Real Madrid, it is enough to make Florentino, the chairman, as stable as a rock.
You know, Real Madrid fans have admired him for a long time as early as when he played for Valencia.
But the goddess had the intention but the king had no dream, and Su Dong never agreed to transfer to Real Madrid.
This was a big blow to Florentino.
Another head coach who rejected Real Madrid is Arsenal's Wenger. He has made it clear that he will not leave Arsenal and refuses to coach Real Madrid, so Florentino has quickly turned his guns around and poached Pellegrini from Villarreal.
When the new president takes office, he needs to give Real Madrid fans a big welcome gift to stimulate the football market.
But the resources Florentino has at hand are just these two, and they are more or less lacking in weight.
If we can sign Su Dong and take advantage of the momentum of the Champions League final, it will definitely become a global sensation.
What a pity! What a pity!
