After the award ceremony and championship photo, everyone returned to the locker room.
Keep the music playing, keep the dancing!
German Chancellor Merkel also came to the locker room to comfort the players.
Everyone took a group photo in the locker room.
It is worth mentioning that during the photo, everyone also held up Reus's No. 21 jersey.
Although he missed the World Cup due to injury.
But Reus's spirit was always with them!
"Champions! Champions!"
"Olé ~ Olé ~"
As everyone was singing and dancing, Klose, holding the world cup trophy, found Marc who was dancing with Müller:
"Marc, let's take a photo!"
"No problem!"
The two put their arms around each other's shoulders, faced the team reporter's camera, and kissed the world cup trophy together.
After the photo, Klose also patted Marc's shoulder and said with deep emotion:
"Thank you, Marc."
"Thank me for what?"
"If it weren't for you, I might have retired with World Cup regrets."
"But now, my professional career has no more regrets!"
It should be known that Klose, since being selected for the German Team in 2001, has participated in four World Cups for the German Team.
He won two third places and one second place, always just missing out on the championship.
And in his last World Cup, he finally followed the team to lift the long-awaited world cup trophy!
Moreover, it wasn't just Marc's decisive goal in the final that brought him the World Cup championship.
Even the goal that broke Ronaldo's scoring record was assisted by Marc!
Therefore, Klose specifically thanked him.
And facing Klose's heartfelt thanks, Marc also responded seriously:
"Lo, don't thank me. This championship is something we all fought for side by side and won back!"
"What's more, I've learned a lot from you."
"Come on! Let's take a selfie!"
With that said, Marc also put his arm around Klose's shoulder and pulled out his phone.
It was only then that Marc realized his inbox was already full of congratulatory messages.
Club coaches and teammates like Hecking, De Bruyne, Malanda, and Perišić all sent him congratulatory messages.
After casually opening the camera and taking a selfie with Klose, Marc also found other teammates and took selfies with them.
Then, adding photos of himself holding the Golden Boot and Best Young Player awards, and group photos with Esther, Raiola, and others, he filled a nine-grid collage and posted it all on his social media accounts.
And he captioned it:
"World Champions!"
As soon as the new post was published, the number of likes and comments instantly soared at a visible Speed.
"We are World Champions!"
"Super Marc!"
"That free-kick was incredible, you are a German hero!"
Most of the comments praised and congratulated him.
However, there were also some haters.
For example, some die-hard Müller fans cursed him for "stealing Müller's glory!"
Perhaps in the eyes of these people, Müller would have become the World Cup Golden Boot winner, and led the German Team to defeat Argentina in the final, becoming a national hero.
However, such an honor was stolen by Marc, this wet-behind-the-ears kid!
Of course, in addition to some haters, many Argentina fans appeared in his comment section, posting various abusive comments and death threats:
"You thief! You stole Messi's world cup trophy!"
"Don't you ever show up in Argentina, I will kill you!"
"You will go to hell!"
In his private messages, there were also countless death threats and insults.
Marc didn't care about any of this.
It was just the impotent rage of the losers..
It is worth mentioning that as everyone was preparing to leave the locker room, FIFA officials also came to the locker room to retrieve the original world cup trophy.
It was only then that Marc understood the rules for retaining the World Cup trophy.
Before 2006, the World Cup champion could keep the trophy until the next World Cup final.
However, since the 2006 World Cup, FIFA has stipulated that the champion team no longer keeps the original world cup trophy for four years, but rather hands over the original trophy to the champion team for a brief celebration during the post-match award ceremony.
Afterward, FIFA would give the champion team a replica of the world cup trophy as a permanent collection, while the original trophy would remain at FIFA's headquarters in Zurich.
Although it was not the original World Cup trophy, everyone still escorted the replica of the world cup trophy out of Maracanã Stadium.
When the team returned to their base camp in Bahia, singing and dancing all the way, the German Football Association had already prepared a celebration party.
Löw also allowed everyone to drink some beer.
However, no more than three bottles!
Thus, under the influence of music and alcohol, Marc and his teammates enjoyed a relaxing night... The next day.
The entire German Team also packed their luggage and boarded the return Lufthansa charter flight!
Destination - Berlin!
The dozens of hours of flight did not affect the joyful mood of the German generals in the slightest.
At first, everyone was chatting enthusiastically.
It wasn't until Löw interrupted that the generals quieted down, closed their eyes, and enjoyed the brief tranquility.
And on the plane, Marc also took stock of his gains from this World Cup journey:
First, he participated in all seven of the German Team's matches, starting two and coming on as a substitute in five.
He scored a total of seven goals and provided two assists.
While helping the German Team win the world cup trophy, he also won two individual honors: the World Cup Golden Boot and the World Cup Best Young Player!
Secondly, in the final, Marc completed three match tasks: [Dribble], [Goal], and [Man of the Match], earning three potential points as a reward.
And by defeating Argentina and reaching the pinnacle of the world, he also completed the season task [World Cup Champion], earning fifty potential points as a reward!
Adding the ten potential points rewarded for [World Cup Golden Boot] and the five potential points rewarded for [World Cup Best Young Player], he received a total of sixty-eight potential points!
A full sixty-eight points!
If he utilized these sixty-eight potential points wisely, he would definitely be able to significantly improve a certain ability before the start of the new season!
In addition, as the most dazzling player in this World Cup, and the second youngest goalscorer in a World Cup final after Pelé, Marc became famous with one goal!
Before the World Cup began, his total number of social media followers was just over one million.
The day after the World Cup final ended, it had already exceeded five million!
And it was still increasing at a visible Speed!
The reason his social media followers grew so quickly was also because Marc was very active on social media, often posting updates and interacting with fans.
His agent, Raiola, also informed him that evening that a large number of internationally renowned brands had sent him invitations for cooperation.
It is no exaggeration to say that this World Cup journey brought him both fame and fortune!
