Grass roots glory

Chapter 309 Standing Bronze Statue

The picture of the Schalke team holding the trophy was immediately reprinted by major European media. Although the real fermentation will wait until the huge paper media follow up and report the next day, in the information age, the hottest news definitely does not lack attention.

Of course, when the media reported this news, they would always include Zhou Tiancheng's heaven-defying barb—the magical barb possessed by God, shooting out a new European nobleman!

In terms of Schalke's strength, the media still collectively called it a "miracle" for Schalke's success in finally reaching the summit. Anyway, these two words are appropriate for things that surprised them.Although it is a little less legendary than the miracle of Nottingham Forest back then, in the Bundesliga, the miracle created by Schalke is absolutely unprecedented, and it is even more difficult and more difficult than the most popular miracle in Kaiserslautern. Great, Kaiserslautern only won the league championship, but because they are newly promoted, it is memorable. In fact, the first season of the newly promoted is often extreme, and there are not a few who play well.And Schalke has conquered the whole of Europe, and its gold content is definitely recognized.Moreover, judging from the situation of these two seasons, there is absolutely no sign of Schalke falling apart.Of course, the necessary changes will definitely be made, but there is absolutely no risk of the core lineup being completely dismantled.This is also completely different from the fate of Kaiserslautern's second season.

They have just won the Champions League and their future is bright. At this time, no one will want to leave. The whole of Europe is now looking forward to what they will do during the summer transfer period. Now Schalke also has the capital to attract those players Judging from their introduction of Van Nistelrooy in the winter window, the summer transfer with a longer window period is really exciting.

Magath has actually submitted a list of signings to the club, but now he is not in the mood to think about those shitty things.Now is the time to enjoy your victory!
This year's championship parade is much more spectacular than last year. After all, this year's celebration is not just about a championship. People give completely to their madness.There is no need to sprinkle champagne in a convertible car to enhance the atmosphere. Wherever the team's convertible car passes, all the vehicles along the street hang the Schalke team flag on the roof and honk at the team's convertible car. In response, the in-vehicle MVs play "Blue and White I Love You" without exception.

On this night, the whole city is crazy, but the crazy never lasts long, and for the players, the next month is very attractive.Players who can play in the World Cup can go to the national team with glory and sprint for the four-year green feast.It is even easier for players without World Cup tasks. After a perfect season, they can let go of everything and usher in a relaxing holiday.

Zhou Tiancheng was packing his luggage, but Magath came to the locker room and walked up to Zhou Tiancheng: "Zhou, come with me, the club chairman wants to see you."

Magath didn't avoid everyone, everyone raised their heads and looked at each other, Zhou Tiancheng stood still, he couldn't figure out why the club's top executives named him after the season was over.

Seeing his confused face, Magath said, "Don't stand still, let's go, Mr. Clemens said, good thing, maybe the club will negotiate a salary increase for you. After all, you are a great contributor."

Zhou Tiancheng laughed. Magath didn’t know that the club gave him a salary increase before he came before the season. Even if Schalke was backed by a giant like Adidas, it’s impossible for Schalke to become like this all of a sudden. Generous.

But others believed it, and looked at Zhou Tiancheng with envy and dislike.

When it comes to their own interests, each player will consider it from his own point of view. For professional players, the treatment of the club is their job. No wonder the expressions on the faces of the main players are not very happy, and they have contributed a lot. How can the salary increase not be ours? portion?
If Zhou Tiancheng knew that it had caused such a misunderstanding among his teammates, no one would believe him if he complained. He saw Clemens sitting on the boss's chair in the office with a smile on his face.

"Zhou, I'm sorry, I hope I didn't disturb your rest time. I came to you to announce a decision of the club to you."

Zhou Tiancheng's heart moved, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Magath, with a wider smile on his face. He didn't think it was such a coincidence, did he?Do you really want to renew your contract with a raise?

But for these things, shouldn't the club contact the agent... Could it be that they think that guy Loka is too difficult to deal with, and want to break through from themselves first?

Zhou Tiancheng was already thinking about it. At the beginning, he signed a five-year contract with the club, which expired in the summer of 2012. When the contract expired, he was 23 years old. With his own performance, if he wanted to renew the contract, it would probably not be less than four years. That means that I have to tie the golden period of my entire career to Schalke, is it worth it?
Zhou Tiancheng is asking himself, this team has given him everything, and he will be grateful for it all his life.But he has not forgotten his original intention. The Bundesliga is not considered a real top league. When the time comes in the future, he still wants to go out and make a breakthrough.For example... the Premier League, which is the world's number one in commercialization, or La Liga, the world's top level of competition.

His eyeballs kept rolling, thinking about how to deal with the sincerity of the club, only to hear Clemens continue: "Zhou, you made all Schalke people realize a dream, and the club will always thank you... We have decided to erect a bronze statue for you at the gate of Aofu Stadium, and we would like to hear your own opinion on the specific shape."

Zhou Tiancheng was completely stunned, not knowing how to react.

Build yourself a bronze statue?
It sounds so compelling!But isn't that only those legendary bosses are eligible?Such as Bill Shankly, Tonya Adams, Bergkamp, ​​Bobby Charlton...

Zhou Tiancheng smiled dryly, and replied truthfully: "I have no objection. Although I know this is the club's good intentions, I still want to take the liberty to ask if this is a bit unnecessary. My current results are not convincing at all... "

Before Zhou Tiancheng finished speaking, Clemens interrupted him with a smile and waved his hand: "Zhou, I know what your concerns are. Although you are not yet as good as those legends of the Premier League that are worthy of eternal commemoration, we are not yet either. A real giant. The club has been established for more than 100 years, and there are only a handful of league champions. To win the Champions League, in my opinion, is an epic victory. Do you think we can often win the Champions League every now and then? Don’t shy away from this question , Respect the facts, to be honest, even I don’t believe it, so the club needs a commemorative logo to make this moment eternal and let everyone know that we have reached the pinnacle.”

"That can completely build a statue of the whole team, but I can't do it alone."

Clemens nodded lightly: "Yes, Zhou, you have a team spirit, which is very precious. But when our descendants ask, who is the direct contributor to our championship, who will know once the time has passed? So It’s always about picking a representative, and you’re the right one, and if it weren’t for your ingenuity, we probably wouldn’t need to talk about it now.”
