After hearing that Hiddink replaced Scolari as Chelsea's head coach, Gao Shen's first reaction was...a headache.
He stood up, left his desk, walked to the window, and looked at the green golf course in the distance. He was lost in thought because he really had a headache.
Zidane, Carlo and Lucas were all sitting in his office, all looking a little unhappy at this moment.
"Is Hiddink that good?" Lucas asked curiously.
Carlo and Zidane also had a headache. Apparently, like Gao Shen, they were very worried about Hiddink?
Only they know that Chelsea's sudden coaching change really made Naples feel passive.
According to Gao Shen's memory in his previous life, Scolari should have been dismissed in early February, with assistant coach Wilkins leading the team for one or two games, and then Hiddink came up.
Therefore, before Scolari got out of class, Gao Shen always thought that his opponent in the Champions League knockout round was Scolari.
After all, he couldn't ask Du Niang about what happened so many years ago, and he really couldn't remember the details.
As head coaches, Scolari and Hiddink are two completely different people.
The most profound impression many people have on Scolari is probably the 2002 World Cup, when Brazil won the championship.
Watching the 3R combination in the World Cup attacking the city with overwhelming momentum, I naturally feel that Scolari seems to be very open, at least not conservative, but in reality?
Before the World Cup, Scolari's Brazilian team was criticized for being useless. If Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo hadn't exploded in the end, he would have become the historical sinner of the Brazilian team.
Even with a 3R combination in front, Scolari insisted on using a double midfielder, namely Gilberto Silva, who joined Arsenal, and Kleberson, who once joined Manchester United.
In other words, rather than saying that the World Cup in Brazil in 2002 came from Scolari, it would be better to say that it came from 3R and Ronaldo.
Of course, as a world-famous coach, Scolari is certainly not weak in strength, but he is really conservative in his use of troops.
In the past period, there has been a saying circulating in the Premier League that Scolari's tactics are easy to guess and are never anything new.
More importantly, he is not good at coaching offense at all, or in other words, he is even worse than Mourinho.
Maybe after seeing this, many people will be surprised. Since they are not good at attacking, why did Chelsea play so well in the early days of coaching?
That's because Scolari carefully designed a complete offensive system for Chelsea before taking charge. Without the opponent being familiar with and understanding the situation, he directly confused the Premier League team. Moreover, in the previous period, Chelsea had no
Meet a strong team.
But as the season progressed, when Scolari's three tricks were figured out by his opponents, and when the opponents behind him began to design tactics against Chelsea, Scolari did not keep pace with the times and constantly adjusted, because this was not
What Scolari is good at.
This is the biggest difference between the head coach of the national team and the head coach of the club.
The training time of the national team is short, and the players come in a hurry and leave in a hurry after the game. This requires the head coach to use some simple and direct routines when designing tactics, so that the players can use them after hearing them.
, it works immediately after you use it, and you don’t have so much time to slowly carve out the formula.
The national team's competitions are generally in a tournament system, with short time and intensive schedule. The most important task of the head coach is to adjust the state and reserve physical strength. In terms of tactics, stability is basically the main focus, and some fine-tuning is appropriately made according to the opponent.
Being restrained by your opponent?
By the time your opponent has thoroughly studied your tactics, the game is over.
Therefore, many head coaches who are good at coaching the national team suddenly cannot do anything when they arrive at the club.
Because in the league, the opponent has more abundant resources, and can even directly arrange a scout to follow you every day. During the ten-month long schedule, your tactics may work this month, but next month the opponent will be able to
Find a way to restrain you, and if you don't change, you will lose points.
More importantly, in the national team, players are fighting more for the honor of the motherland. With this righteousness, conflicts will actually be reduced a lot. But it is different in the club. Every time they play, there is a player.
Fees, bonuses for every goal and assist...
This involves more complex interest entanglements.
Gao Shen heard a saying in the circle that the reason why Scolari coached Chelsea was because Abramovich gave him too much money, which was too much for him to refuse.
Scolari can't make much money coaching in Brazil, and the Brazilian national team is also very poor. He can barely make a little money coaching the Portuguese national team, but certainly not much. But Chelsea is different.
The annual salary of five million pounds is said to be more than Scolari's total coaching income in the past twenty years.
Now that get out of class is over, Chelsea has paid another 7.5 million pounds in liquidated damages.
Although this is a bit of a conspiracy theory, there is no guarantee that there will be no such factors.
And Abramovich's request is that Scolari transform Chelsea and make this team play better.
…
"Hiddink and Scolari are two completely different people. He is Dutch!"
Gao Shen answered Lucas's doubts.
"Many people say that Hiddink is very lucky. For example, when he was coaching Russia, his fellow countryman Advocaat trained a group of Zenit talents for him, and he directly reaped the results. But there are not people who are lucky.
But if a person is always very lucky, it must be more than just luck."
Zidane, Carlo and Lucas all nodded.
"Hiddink's use of troops is very magical. It is even difficult to summarize what his style is. I can only say that he is practical and uses whatever he can to win. And he is not conservative at all. On the contrary, he is very practical at critical moments.
He is good at taking risks and always achieves the results he wants."
The more famous one is Arshavin in the 2008 European Cup.
The Russian star will receive a red card and be suspended in this European Cup, and he will be suspended for the first two rounds of the group stage.
For a team like Russia, they are likely to pack up and go home in the group stage, and the entire group stage only has three rounds. Arshavin has to stop for two rounds. Logically speaking, the number of places in the national team is limited, and everyone has
Under crucial circumstances, it takes courage to bring a player who has been suspended for the first two rounds to the European Cup.
Because it is very likely that Russia will lose the qualification in the first two rounds.
But Hiddink did just that, and Arshavin became the brightest star in Russia and even the entire European Cup.
"Scolari's use of troops can be figured out, but Hiddink is very difficult to figure out, and changing coaches is like changing swords. Now he suddenly replaces Scolari. We have no idea what kind of tactics and attacks he will adopt.
Law."
"More importantly, Hiddink is also very good at motivating players. There is no doubt about the strength of Chelsea players, but in the past few months, Scolari has made people panic, and now it is Hiddink..."
Zidane, Carlo and Lucas all looked at each other.
I have to admit that after Gao Shen's analysis, they all immediately felt troubled.
Hiddink is well-known and his coaching ability is undoubted. More importantly, he not only coaches the national team, but also has outstanding achievements in club coaching. He led Real Madrid to win the championship and led PSV to the Champions League semi-finals.
.
Such a head coach is definitely not simple.
If nothing else, if you think about it from someone else's perspective, if Zidane, Carlo and Lucas were in a high position now, they would probably be blind and have no idea what to do.
Gao Shen has no intention of recalling what measures and playing styles Hiddink took when he coached Chelsea in his previous life, because these are meaningless. Now Chelsea is facing Gao Shen's Naples, and Hiddink will only target Gao Shen and Naples.
To make an article, what happened in the past life will never happen again now.
But some things definitely won't change.
Because Chelsea's lineup is there, with all its strengths and weaknesses.
"Fernando."
Gao Shen walked up and down, stood in front of three assistants, and called Lucas' name.
Lucas immediately looked up at Gao Shen, waiting for his orders.
"If I remember correctly, Chelsea still has another round of the Premier League. Our people must focus on this game. At the same time, we can also arrange people to tell me everything that happened inside and outside Chelsea during this period.
Dig them all out for me. If possible, I even want to know how many times Hiddink went to the bathroom a day."
When Lucas heard the end, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
Too serious!
This is related to Napoli's knockout round of 16.
Is this a competition?
No, it's money!
Millions, tens of millions of euros!
"Understood, I'll start making arrangements right away."
"Also." Gao Shen thought again, "Essien's cruciate ligament has been torn for several months. Logically speaking, he should be almost recovered by now. Keep an eye on him to see when he can come back.
If we encounter it, we must prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard."
"Okay, I'll go find out right away."
"Drogba!" When Gao Shen said this name, he slapped his forehead hard.
Zidane, Carlo and Lucas are also in a difficult situation, and they all understand the difficulties of Gao Shen.
Drogba is a really, really difficult player.
Arsenal's central defender Senderos was even directly abused by him to the point of psychological trauma.
This Ivorian elephant king is going crazy, and all the centre-backs in the world can't stop him.
With Chelsea's current central defender configuration, even if it's a two-on-one matchup, no one would care.
"I have a very strong hunch that Chelsea's current defense has problems and is relatively fragile, so they will focus on the midfield and use a strong midfield to cover up the fragile defense, while the offense will use Drogba's ability
Advantage."
The problem is that relying on players alone, even if Bonucci and David Luiz join forces, they may not be able to stop Drogba.
The Ivorian center is really terrible!
"If I think about it again, we must restrain Drogba."
Previously, Scolari had a deep conflict with Drogba and did not even reuse Drogba, but Hiddink would definitely not be so stupid.
Although the Champions League requires comprehensiveness, it must also strive for advantages.
