The RheinEnergieStadion was a scene of controlled chaos. While the initial euphoria was boundless, the official trophy presentation was kept relatively brief. With the Europa League final a mere five days away, the Wolfsburg board and the DFL had agreed to save the grand festivities—the open-top bus parade through the city and the stadium concert—for May 30th. For now, the celebration moved into the bowels of the stadium.
In the dressing room, Junior Malanda was the first to act, hauling a crate of champagne from his locker. He was immediately met with a mock-outraged interrogation from Ivan Perišić, who climbed onto a bench to address the room.
"Junior! You've got some nerve bringing bubbly in here before the final whistle!" Perišić shouted, suppressive laughter in his voice. "Do you want us to pull a 2005 Milan collapse?"
"Ivan, just say the word," Malanda countered, thumb hovering over a cork. "Do we pop them, or do I drink them all myself?"
"This is Germany, boys! We celebrate with grain, not grapes!" Thone Lokhoff intervened, wheeling in a cart stacked high with chilled beer. "Leave the champagne for the French!"
David Qin didn't wait for an invitation. He snatched a bottle, shook it vigorously with his thumb blocking the neck, and unleashed a high-pressure spray directly at Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian, usually the picture of stoic professionalism, didn't say a word. He simply grabbed two bottles of his own and began a campaign of indiscriminate retaliatory fire.
Pop. Pop. Pop.
The room was soon heavy with the scent of malt and hops—the unmistakable aroma of victory. They forgot the silver plate waiting outside and lost themselves in the raw joy of the moment. It was only when Dieter Hecking pushed open the door that the madness paused.
"Alright, boys, the podium is ready. It's time to show the world the champions," Hecking said, adjusting his tie.
"Boss! Look over here! Say cheese!" David shouted. He and Perišić flanked the manager; while one aimed a beer bottle, the other hit the shutter.
Click! Splash!
Hecking's perfectly tailored suit was instantly drenched. He didn't even flinch, laughing along with his players before heading off to find a dry shirt. Once the team had changed into their "Champions 2015" jerseys, they lined up in the tunnel one last time.
The Wolfsburg anthem, Immer Nur Du, swelled into the night air, sung by thousands of traveling fans.
"Bright in the football firmament! Wolfsburg is a green city that has much to offer!"
David hummed along, his eyes scanning his teammates—the brothers-in-arms who had navigated the grueling season together. He thought about the wins, the grueling training, and the shared bus rides. Football, he realized, was never just a sport; it was the intersection of destinies.
"Kevin, let's finish the job in Poland," David said as they stepped onto the pitch.
"Count on it," De Bruyne replied with a firm nod.
One by one, they ascended the podium. When David reached Reinhard Rauball, the President of the DFL, he lowered his head to receive his medal.
"A remarkable season, David," Rauball said warmly. "The Bundesliga is lucky to have a player of your caliber."
"The honor is mine, Herr Rauball," David replied with genuine humility.
Then, the moment arrived. Christian Träsch hoisted the Meisterschale into the air. Green streamers and pyrotechnics exploded behind them, providing the perfect backdrop for the flashing cameras.
After the ceremony, David found his parents. He handed the silver shield to his father, Qin Zhihong.
"Careful, Dad, don't drop it," David teased.
Zhihong held the trophy as if it were made of glass, his eyes visibly rimmed with red. To see his son standing at the pinnacle of German football was the proudest moment of his life.
"Mom, get in here. Let's get a photo," David smiled.
Click.
In the photo, David's smile was different—lighter, untethered from the ghosts of his past.
Before leaving for the press conference, David was pulled aside into a private lounge. Waiting there was Franz Beckenbauer. The conversation was long and quiet, but it ended with a single question from David that left the "Kaiser" speechless.
"Do you remember what happened with 1860 Munich?" David asked, referring to the famous slap Beckenbauer received as a boy that prompted him to join Bayern instead of their rivals.
Beckenbauer looked at the teenager and saw a familiar pride—a stubborn, brilliant confidence. He knew then that the bridge was burnt. "This," the Kaiser sighed, "is Bayern Munich's great regret."
Back in Wolfsburg that night, the city was quiet, but David's mind was racing. He lay on his bed and focused his consciousness.

The integration had slowed as it neared the 90% mark. It was time for a breakthrough.

David didn't hesitate. "Option one."
A warmth flooded his body, like sinking into a hot spring after a winter match. In a dreamlike state, he watched the highlights of a career he was destined to emulate: the flair of Grêmio, the magic of Paris, the dawning of a dynasty at Barcelona. He saw the world through the eyes of the Gaucho—a man for whom the ball was not a tool, but a friend.
As he slept, his body was being re-engineered. The peak Ronaldinho wasn't just about Joga Bonito; he was a freakish blend of explosive power, balance, and vision. David felt his muscles twitch and settle into a new, more lethal harmony.
Across the world, the footballing media was in a frenzy. While the other four major leagues had crowned predictable champions—PSG, Juventus, Barcelona, and Chelsea—Wolfsburg's triumph was the "Black Swan" of the year.

@TacticalGnome1: Can we talk about the ROI here? Wolfsburg spent €1m on David Qin and €25m on KDB to win the league. That's the heist of the century.
@Arsenal4Life: If Wenger doesn't sell half the squad to buy David Qin, I'm done. We need that Ronaldinho energy at the Emirates.
@GunnerGalore: Imagine David Qin playing the False 9 under Wenger. Sanchez on the wing, Qin through the middle... I can only get so erect.
@MiaSanMiaNatic: Beckenbauer looked like he'd seen a ghost talking to David. Bayern really messed this one up, didn't they?
David Qin fell into a deep, restorative sleep, the weight of the silver shield replaced by the lightness of the 91% integration.
