Chapter 345 The Heart of a Champion

Chapter 345 The Heart of a Champion

April 4, Berlin Olympic Stadium.

In the sparse stands, the few home fans are shouting loudly, although their team has found it difficult to stay in the Bundesliga after the end of the season.

What empowers these home fans is the performance of today's Hertha Berlin players, tough, tenacious and full of fighting spirit!

"If Hertha Berlin can maintain such a mental outlook this season, it won't be reduced to this point..." Adam Simpson shook his head and sighed.

In the chaotic battle last season, Hertha Berlin once led the standings, and finally ranked fourth and failed to participate in this season's Champions League match. No one expected that this Hertha Berlin team would fall so fast. It's like falling directly from the middle of the mountain to the bottom of the valley...

It is already the 32nd round of the league. Hertha Berlin has five wins and nine draws with only 24 points, ranking first from the bottom. The Bochum team ahead of them has 28 points. This is a gap of at least two games. The opponents in the last two rounds are Stuttgart and Bayern Munich...

But at least in this game, the Berliners used their tenacious defensive will to make the Schalke suffer. Throughout the first half, Schalke 04, who played the main force, failed to create a threatening ball in the penalty area. Wu and Rakitic's two-footed shots from the outside made the opposing goalkeeper make a save.

Back in the locker room, Magath was furious and scolded all the starting players except the central defender and Neuer. Even Sun Wu couldn't escape this meal.

"Do you think that even if you lose the game, you can still win the championship. Anyway, the lead is five points, and there are only three rounds left in the league?" Magath paced back and forth in the open space in the middle, gesticulating and calling names one by one.

"Holtby, your job on the wing is ultimately to pass the ball, not to dribble all the way into the goal! How many times have you seen Kevin reaching for the ball?"

"Rakitic, Best says you are a world-class playmaker, but all I see is your non-stop long shots!"

"Best, your passing is unbearable. In just 45 minutes, you made seven pass errors!"

"And Farfan, I never found out that you have such a strong desire to shoot... no matter how small the angle is! Then why did you change from a striker to a winger?" Magath woke up after scolding, Farfan couldn't hear After understanding this sentence, he immediately turned his head to look at Sun Wu, "Best!"

Sun Wu's expressionless translation: "Nice job, Jefferson, continue in the second half, maybe you can switch sides?"

Farfan gave Magath a rare smile...but the old German had already turned away.

"The match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Mönchengladbach is still 0-0, but this does not mean that you are qualified to relax. You must know that next month, there will be a German Cup final, and the venue..." Magath pointed out Pointing to his feet, "It's still here!"

"If you can't win this game, the gold content of the salad plate will not be as high as expected..." Magath paused, then looked at Sun Wu who raised his hand, "Best, what do you want to say?"

"Mr. Felix." Sun Wu stood up, "Although Schalke 04 is an excellent and great club, after all, it has been 60 years since they have lifted a salad plate. I think the momentary nervousness is understandable... last year At this time, I was also nervous, and I still remember that Benaglio's nervous calf was trembling..."

Magath's face was gloomy. He is a typical example of the famous iron-fisted army. No matter how much he prefers Sun Wu, he would not allow Sun Wu to refute him in public...

"Winning the championship this season is already a certainty, but the reason why Mr. Felix was furious..." Sun Wu turned to look at his teammates, "He hopes that everyone has the heart of a champion."

"What is the heart of a champion?"

Sun Wu asked himself and answered, "Do your best to win every game, and you are extremely hungry for goals, victories, and honors. Even if your opponents retreat, you must step on their corpses to ascend to the throne!"

"Bayern Munich is five points behind. Even if we don't win this game, maybe we will have a chance to raise the salad plate in the next round. If it doesn't work, we will wait until the last round..."

"Should I think so?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Sun Wu's voice suddenly increased, "You shouldn't find excuses for your shrinkage and weakness. If you look for it... it will form an inertia, and the next game, the next game..."

Sun Wu walked slowly to the center, and Magath quietly retreated to the corner to stand with Hollerbach.

"Many people have asked me why I came to Schalke 04... I also admit that during the winter break, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Arsenal, AC Milan and many other giants tried to introduce me..."

"In the end I came to Schalke 04. I hope to show my ability in such a team that has had a brilliant experience but has declined in recent years. I hope to reach the first peak of my career here!"

"Salad plate, DFB-Pokal I already got last season...you know what I mean."

There was silence in the locker room, and everyone's eyes fell on Sun Wu.

"You think I'm joking?" Sun Wu smiled and pointed to Holtby, "Look, Lewis can fit a two-pound medicine ball into his mouth!"

Low laughter sounded.

"In my opinion, every player in Schalke 04 is very good, very professional, and has a desire for honor. I don't think my goal is an illusory ideal."

"The road to the championship is always full of thorns, and the only scenery will only appear at the highest peak. Apart from factors such as strength, luck, unity, and coincidence, a champion's heart is the key to whether we can reach the highest peak. "

"The will to never give up, the desire to win every game, not to stand still in the face of difficulties but to work hard to find opportunities..."

"Win this game and return to Gelsenkirchen with a salad plate. Next season, we have higher goals!"

Westerman was the first to stand up and showed his attitude with a big hug.

Hollerbach reminded in a low voice, "Felix, it's time..."

"It doesn't matter..." Magath thought for a while, opened the door and pulled Hollerbach out, leaving the locker room to the players.

"Best, I didn't expect you to have a talent for speech!" Hewedes said with a smile.

"Actually, I have many talents, such as football, acting, and speech..." Sun Wu winked, "You were the one who was most nervous in the first half. Your calves are not shaking now, are you?"

"Look at Manu, that's called having the style of a general!" Sun Wu patted Neuer on the back and praised.

"Mannu's legs don't shake, but numb." Rakitic rarely participated, and explained calmly: "Hertha Berlin gave up the attack, and Manu squatted there for more than 10 minutes. ..."

Laughter echoed through the locker room.

Hao Junmin stood outside the crowd and watched that compatriot unceremoniously become the core figure in the locker room... Of course, he has always been like this. From the first day he came to the team, he was the one who attracted the most attention. He is A well-deserved star on the team.
