Chapter 235 For Image
Borussia Mönchengladbach had a bit of bad luck this week. First, they were tied 10:22 by Schalke at home in the Bundesliga on October 041, and midfielder Ortega was injured and will miss two weeks of games.

In this game, Schalke 04 almost completely restricted Borussia Mönchengladbach's offense. Ortega was regarded as dead, and the two sides also defended impeccably, which completely shut down the offense of Li Yihuan and Madavikia.

If it weren't for the teenager Nossa coming off the bench to break through the Schalke 04 goal with a header, Borussia Mönchengladbach is likely to usher in the first league defeat of the new season.

Without Nick in midfield, Mönchengladbach would not seem to be able to play football. This made Karl very annoyed, and he also rarely criticized his players after the game.

The league performance was poor, and Borussia Mönchengladbach was then tied 2:2 by Liverpool at home in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.

Borussia Mönchengladbach, who has already qualified from the group stage, obviously lacks enough motivation and does not have an advantage in the whole game.

Facing the full-court press from the English giants, Borussia Mönchengladbach's passing was greatly curbed. If it weren't for Micoud's clever pass with two feet, the possibility of losing the game would be even greater.

This game further highlights Nick's important position in the team. It can be said that without Nick's Borussia Mönchengladbach, it can only be regarded as a quasi-strong team, but with Nick's Mönchengladbach, it is a real strong team.

而在28日客场和法兰克福的联赛中，门兴格拉德巴赫2:0领先到了将近90分钟，却在补时的3分钟里被杨辰和弗约托夫特连进两球逼平。

What is even more worrying is that Karl almost staged Ferguson's version of the "flying boot door" incident. The Swedish star Larsson who came off the bench was hit in the ass by a mineral water bottle kicked by Karl because he blamed his teammates.

Larsson then left the pitch with a gloomy face, and the dark clouds in Borussia Mönchengladbach began to float.

第10轮联赛结束之后，门兴格拉德巴赫7胜3平虽然还是保持不败，但对手已经追上来了，仅仅领先7胜2平1负的柏林赫塔1分，拜仁也趁机拿下联赛两连胜缩短了积分差距，6胜2平2负拿到了20个积分。

Such a standings will immediately increase the pressure on Borussia Mönchengladbach. If they are not careful in the next league, they will be overtaken by their opponents.

So in the last match of the first round of the European Champions Cup group stage in midweek, Borussia Mönchengladbach sent a substitute to Milan to compete against AC Milan.

AC Milan drew with Real Madrid in the last game and was eliminated from the group, which made AC Milan's dream of reaching the final and reaching the top at the San Siro Stadium come to nothing.

So this game is completely meaningless. Borussia Mönchengladbach is definitely the first in the group, and AC Milan is definitely out of the group.

The two teams played very easily at the San Siro Stadium. AC Milan finally defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 2:1 at home with two goals from Shevchenko and won a late victory.

Borussia Mönchengladbach also achieved an embarrassing situation of four games without victories. For a while, the German media wrote articles and criticized the team, thinking that the team had no aggressiveness after winning the European Champions Cup group qualification. Such a team has no hope of competing for the highest honor of the European Champions Cup.

Nick did not choose to escape at this time, but took the initiative to stand up to decompress the team and take responsibility. After the signing ceremony of the 5-year 2000 million euro endorsement contract renewal with Puma in the middle of the week, Nick accepted interviews with reporters and expressed his views.

"I'm sorry for the confusion caused by Borussia Mönchengladbach's four-game winless game. Borussia Mönchengladbach have encountered a little trouble. I don't think it will last long. I can't play. This gave my teammates confusion to adapt to the game. What I want to say is guys, don't think too much about the impact of my absence. You are a group of good players. You have the ability to decide the direction of the game. Relax, you can still win without me!"

Nick's words touched his teammates. It's obvious that his group didn't play well, so it's none of Nick's business?But Nick took the responsibility on himself, and this sentiment is very high.

This caused a sudden change in the atmosphere on the team's training ground on the second day. All the players in Borussia Mönchengladbach were full of energy, smiling, and their training level was also very high. Carlton off the court smirked.

Karl thought to himself that Nick's words would work. This kid is so positive. Not only can he play football well, but he can also do ideological work. It's too easy for him to be the coach.

When encountering the low tide of the team, it is very difficult for many teams to get out. They often need an opportunity to be settled by Nick with a few words. This seems unbelievable to the outside world, but this kind of thing happened.

The incredible thing is that Nick chose to continue to cooperate with Puma this time. Due to Nick’s growing influence in world football, Puma will sign an endorsement contract with Nick in advance every year, and the endorsement fee has also soared from the initial one-year 1 euros.

But at this time, Adidas, Reebok, Nike and even several Chinese companies are also eyeing Nick.

Adidas offered 5 million euros for 3500 years, Reebok and Nike both offered 5 million euros for 3000 years, and the prices offered by several Chinese companies were also higher than Puma's contract price.

However, to the surprise of these companies, Nick rejected their kindness and chose to continue to cooperate with Puma.

"What I want is my personal image, not just money." Nick expressed his point of view with such a sentence, which made the major sports brand companies have no choice but to retreat.

Knowing from Mr. Hansen that Nick doesn't make money, Puma was very moved, and immediately held a press conference to announce the sponsorship of the "Big Love Heart" orphanage that Nick has been sponsoring for 300 million euros.

This is a typical reciprocation, and Puma's image has become glorious overnight.

Of course, Cathy must be the happiest. The size of the "Heart of Great Love" orphanage has expanded several times, and now there are 300 million euros more. Cathy is very pleased, and she directly believes that the 300 million euros exist because of Nick's existence.

Nick, on the other hand, can't bear the beauty's kindness. Diane Kruger hasn't contacted him for a long time, and Cangai and Xue Er don't pay attention to him anymore, and there are rumors about the three of them on the Internet.

Diane Kruger has been repeatedly published dating photos with French actor Guillaume Canet, and the bulging belly shows that the two people's "love crystallization" has come to fruition.

And Kurai was also secretly photographed by the Japanese media, and one of the photos of having dinner with Japanese actor Takuya Kimura in one chapter showed that the two were very close.

The most outrageous thing was Xue Er, the queen of the Chinese pop music scene was secretly photographed dating different men, it was obvious that this girl was taking revenge on Nick.

These news made Nick, who thought he had put it down, feel a lot of pimples in his heart. Self-inflicted crimes are really bad.

"Hey, what is this thing I'm playing with? No, how can my women let others get their hands on them? I'm going to make a strong attack and take them all back!"

Nick suddenly broke out with a strong fighting power. On the court and in love, he wants to be a strong man, not for anything else, just for his own image!
