Chapter 12 - Chapter 12 The Glory of the Wolf of the North

After conceding another goal, the initial impatience of the Bayern Munich players at the start of the second half had completely vanished, replaced by a sense of bewilderment from an unknown source.

They were somewhat stunned, unable to believe that Bayern Munich could be in such a situation. Schweinsteiger looked at his bewildered and helpless teammates, his face suddenly turning red.

"Everyone, cheer up! Everyone, run!"

"In this extremely unfavorable situation for Bayern, Schweinsteiger, a veteran of Bayern, rushed to every teammate to make them pull themselves together! With his passionate shouts, it is hoped that Bayern Munich can recover from this disadvantageous situation!"

The commentator on site emotionally described Schweinsteiger's efforts. He had rarely seen such a complete collapse of Bayern in his entire career.

After the restart, Bayern launched a desperate counterattack, burning their bridges! They had no other choice but to attack relentlessly; if they couldn't even go all out, leaving with a shameful record would be even more disgraceful.

Soon, Bayern Munich, as if abandoned by God, got their best scoring opportunity of the match.

In the 60th minute, Juan Bernat dribbled and broke through on the left side of Wolfsburg's penalty area. Naldo, who was slightly fatigued, made a clearing error, sending the ball directly to Robben's feet. Robben gratefully accepted the gift, and with a gentle close-range push shot, he broke through Wolfsburg's goal.

Seeing Naldo after the goal, he was extremely annoyed by his mistake, holding his head in his hands and kicking the turf hard.

Snuffy walked up to comfort the veteran center-back, who was nearly 33 years old and already showing signs of fatigue.

In such a high-intensity match, even after physical training, the immense mental pressure still made him feel more tired than usual games.

"Naldo, don't blame yourself! I'll score another one against them later! We've already scored four against them today!"

Facing Snuffy's comfort, Naldo gave a wry smile.

"How can scoring be that easy?! Play well, kid! I'm not that fragile yet."

On Bayern's side, Robben, after scoring, was in no mood to celebrate. He rushed into the net, grabbed the ball, and immediately ran to the center circle, signaling Wolfsburg to kick off.

Other Bayern players also showed significant improvement. After all, if they could score one, they could score a second. With this mindset, Bayern Munich's determination to fight to the death grew stronger!

With the restart, both teams immediately engaged in a fierce struggle.

In the 65th minute, Dost received a cross from Ricardo Rodriguez and, inside the penalty area, successfully outjumped Boateng to head the ball to Gustavo, who was supporting in the middle. Unfortunately, Gustavo's right-footed shot went slightly over the goal.

Bayern refused to be outdone. A minute later, Lewandowski, outside Wolfsburg's penalty area, received a pass from Alaba, and his powerful right-footed shot went just over the crossbar.

Seeing another failed attack, Guardiola, who could no longer sit still, walked out of the dugout to the touchline and made a substitution decision. Bayern Munich made two changes, with Pizarro and Götze coming on to replace Lewandowski and Thomas Müller respectively.

Guardiola, having put all his remaining chips on the table, stood on the sidelines, loudly instructing the Bayern players, hoping they could launch higher-quality attacks!

Subsequently, Vieirinha, while pressing in front of Wolfsburg's penalty area, collided with Schweinsteiger, who was dribbling forward. The Referee awarded a free-kick and gave him a yellow card.

The set-piece taken by Robben was quite threatening, flying over Wolfsburg's wall, but goalkeeper Benaglio dived across to save the ball.

After this, both teams continued to exchange blows as the match approached its end.

After tirelessly pressing, Snuffy intercepted the ball from Götze near the halfway line. After winning the ball, Snuffy drove straight through the middle. Seeing the opposing center-back pressing, he skillfully back-heeled the ball to the left-rear, passing it to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne received a brilliant pass from Snuffy, and in a one-on-one situation against the pressing Dante, he cut to the left and unleashed a sudden shot. The ball flew directly into the top left corner of the goal, and De Bruyne scored his second goal. He helped Wolfsburg change the score to five to one!

"GOAL!!!! De Bruyne, the core of Wolfsburg, has scored his second goal in this match! Bayern's defense has been torn to shreds today!"

"Oh, poor Neuer is no longer roaring at his defense. Conceding five goals in one match is absolutely the most humiliating game for him!"

Neuer picked the ball out of the net, holding the ball with one hand and pressing his forehead with the other, sitting on the ground looking extremely disheveled. From the expression on his face, it was clear that he was disappointed beyond measure with this match.

But the match continued. In the 85th minute, Pizarro wasted a close-range shooting opportunity in front of goal. It was a brilliant pass from Robben, but he failed to control the ball properly, and a hurried shot hit Benaglio.

Watching Pizarro waste the chance, Guardiola, squatting on the sidelines, held his head with one hand and pounded the ground with the other, letting out a painful sigh.

Snuffy, who happened to turn his head and see this scene, smiled slightly, thinking that Guardiola had not yet experienced true despair.

According to historical developments, when Guagua goes to Manchester City and encounters Sterling, the happy boy who is a potential inducer of Guardiola's cerebral hemorrhage, he will realize that this is nothing at all!

After all, football fans worldwide know that there are three players who can make Guardiola hold his head in his hands: Messi with his nutmegs, Lewandowski the 'Nine-Five Supreme', and the number one is Sterling with his one-on-one chances in front of goal.

That is the true joy on the football field!

Back to the main topic, as the match entered its final stage, both sets of players, who had been fighting for nearly 90 minutes, were starting to run out of steam.

Feeling as if his legs were filled with lead, Snuffy gritted his teeth and dribbled the ball down the right flank towards Bayern's half. About four or five meters from the penalty area, he saw Bayern's neat defensive line.

Snuffy, whose stamina was almost exhausted, did not choose to force his way through. He made a somewhat inaccurate long pass, trying to find De Bruyne on the left side of Bayern's penalty area.

Facing the clearly overhit long pass, De Bruyne used his last reserves of energy to chase the ball, then executed a turn and a feint to get past Götze, who was chasing him. Subsequently, he delivered a long pass that cut through Bayern's entire defensive line.

Snuffy, who had run in from the right side of Bayern's penalty area, appeared in the most concealed and deadly position, and with a gentle tap of his instep, he calmly sent the ball into Bayern Munich's goal!

"GOAL!!!! Oh, the ball is in! What did I see! My God! De Bruyne delivered a pass that went through Bayern's entire defense! And Snuffy easily put the ball in!

The two of them, in Bayern Munich's penalty area, toyed with all their defending players! A full seven men! De Bruyne and Snuffy completed a two-on-seven attacking performance!"

"Neuer retrieves the ball from the net for the sixth time. He is probably the person on the field who wants the match to end the most! The German goalkeeper appeared so helpless in this match!"

"The entire Volkswagen Arena is cheering, and the excited fans have almost made the whole stadium shake! They have witnessed history!"

"Due to injuries, this is certainly not the best Bayern Munich! But that doesn't prevent them from bleeding dry at the Volkswagen Arena today!"

"The fans' singing has already entered my broadcast, listen! All Bundesliga fans, this is the roar of the Wolf of the North!"

After scoring the last goal of the match, just over ninety minutes of play, the Referee blew the final whistle, not giving any injury time.

Guardiola, with his distraught players, walked dejectedly into the player's tunnel without any hesitation, accompanied by the loud singing of the home fans.

Meanwhile, the Wolfsburg players and coaching staff celebrated joyfully with their fans on the pitch.

"The match is over. I believe that just like before the 2014 World Cup semi-final between Germany and Brazil, almost no one would have believed that match would end with a score of seven to one!"

"Before this match, I believe almost no one would have thought that Bayern Munich would suffer an epic defeat at the Volkswagen Arena! Six to one, Wolfsburg won against Bayern Munich by a full five goals!"

"Now, on the live Bundesliga standings, Wolfsburg is only four points behind Bayern Munich! The suspense for this year's Bundesliga title is back!"

"Congratulations to Wolfsburg, they not only personally kicked the championship suspense back into play! But they also presented us with such a high-quality and exciting match!"

"Let's point our cameras at this stadium, and feel the fiery passion that is about to burst through the entire arena!"

After about fifteen minutes of post-match celebrations, the Wolfsburg fans reluctantly allowed their players to return to the changing room.

At the post-match press conference, media outlets from all over Germany scrambled to hand microphones to both head coaches. Compared to the praise Dieter Hecking received, Guardiola faced many sharp questions from the media.

Guardiola did not blame the players on the field, taking full responsibility for Bayern Munich's crushing defeat, shouldering everything himself.

Snuffy, celebrating with his teammates in the locker room, was named Man of the Match with three assists and two goals, outperforming De Bruyne's two assists and two goals, and Dost's brace, successfully completing his system mission as desired.

After reuniting with his parents in the lounge, the family of three returned home happily, filled with the joy of victory. All Wolfsburg fans spent a wonderful evening in a festive atmosphere.

And at this moment, all media outlets following this Bundesliga 'Battle of the Titans' unanimously made Wolfsburg's crushing victory over Bayern Munich their headline for tomorrow!

The day after the match between Bayern and Wolfsburg, newspapers across Europe related to football all reported on the match.

Germany's Bild newspaper's front-page headline read:

"Wolfsburg's Two Stars Shine in 6-1 Rout of Bayern Munich!"

The accompanying picture showed De Bruyne and Snuffy passionately embracing after the match, with a backdrop of distraught Bayern players walking into the player's tunnel.

Germany's Münchner Merkur, on the other hand, used:

"Munich Falls 6-1!!!" as its headline, with "6-1" and the exclamation marks in bright red and designed to look as if blood was dripping.

The accompanying picture was the striking 6-1 scoreboard at the Volkswagen Arena.

France's L'Équipe directly used a picture of the post-match player ratings for both teams, covering most of its front page. It used biting words to criticize Bayern's players and praised the performance of Wolfsburg's players, especially De Bruyne and Snuffy.

They were rated 9 and 9.5 respectively!

The Guardian in the UK even dedicated a nearly ten-thousand-word long article, interpreting the match from kick-off to the final whistle.

The Daily Telegraph described the match as Bayern Munich's biggest defeat in the past decade, stating that Guardiola should be held responsible for the rout!

Italy's Tuttosport consistently praised Snuffy's outstanding performance, calling him one of the strong contenders for this year's Golden Boy award.

The Sun in the UK maintained its usual style. It widely publicized that the reason for Bayern Munich players' collective 'jelly legs' was related to certain 'improper' actresses. As for how 'improper', suffice it to say, those who know, know.

It also rehashed the old news of De Bruyne's ex-girlfriend and even arranged a bold, long-distance declaration of love for Snuffy from a Page 3 girl. And you have to admit, the Page 3 girls in The Sun are quite attractive.

The next day, when Snuffy arrived at the training ground locker room, he saw almost all his teammates passing around a stack of newspapers held by the veteran Naldo.

Arnold even pulled out a tablet and read aloud reports from various major European and American media outlets!

Seeing everyone so engrossed, Snuffy naturally joined in.

Initially, Snuffy was quite pleased to see the praise for Wolfsburg and himself in some authoritative newspapers.

After all, no one dislikes hearing good things about themselves, especially praise from major mainstream media outlets!

But when he turned to the last newspaper, The Sun, he suddenly felt that it was truly outrageous!

Never mind his previous life, in this life, he was still an underage boy, not yet 17, who had never been in love and didn't even have a girlfriend!

It was one thing to have a Page 3 girl declare her love for him, but what was with the thirty-something age?! Good heavens, an aunt who was directly twice his age!

Honestly, in his previous life, Snuffy had also dreamed of becoming famous in one match and then, like his senior star predecessors, dating a young, beautiful, and well-figured girlfriend.

But reality told him that, although it might be The Sun's prank, looking at the older aunt on the newspaper who was expressing her love for him from afar, Snuffy still felt an inexplicable sadness.

Damn The Sun, if you're going to fabricate scandals, at least find someone of an appropriate age! I don't have Wayne Rooney's kind of hobbies!
