The referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.
There were bursts of boos at the Allianz Arena.
One to four, this is the final result of tonight's Champions League quarter-final knockout match.
The boos at the Allianz Arena were mostly directed at Bayern's head coach Louis van Gaal and Bayern's players.
Fans will not be satisfied with this result.
It almost means that Bayern has been eliminated from the Champions League early. After missing out on the Bundesliga and German Cup, and now losing the Champions League, Bayern is destined to be empty-handed this season.
As the on-site commentator joked: Van Gaal can leave get out of class with peace of mind!
Gao Shen was quite surprised by this result.
The most important thing is Van Gaal's mentality in this game.
Throughout the first half, he was fighting Manchester City desperately, but in the second half, he began to change his attitude.
Obviously, he replaced Altintop with Toni Kroos at halftime.
Thomas Muller will play as the right winger, and Toni Kroos will play as the attacking midfielder.
But to be honest, this effect is not very good.
Toni Kroos is a very interesting player, he is a strategic player.
When watching him play, everyone will think, what's the point?
His technique doesn't seem to be sophisticated at all, he doesn't know how to pass people, he doesn't have much dribbling, his speed isn't fast, and his running doesn't look particularly active. It just feels awkward no matter how you look at it.
For a player who has the aura of genius at a young age, his development is indeed disappointing.
In other words, he simply does not meet people's beautiful imagination of traditional geniuses.
What do people think of a midfield genius?
Modric, Pogba, David Silva, even Rakitic.
Is Toni Kroos a genius?
Even when he was young, he is already disabled now.
This actually reflects the embarrassing positioning of Bayern, including German football, towards Toni Kroos.
What role should he play?
Just like Van Gaal, he let Toni Kroos play as an attacking midfielder, but this position directly faced Javi Martinez and could not play the role of Toni Kroos because he should not be here.
In Gao Shen's previous life, many Real Madrid and non-Real Madrid fans were discussing who was more important between Toni Kroos and Modric?
Many people say it's Modric because he won the Ballon d'Or, which is of course no problem.
If nothing else, if he can bring Croatia into the final, Modric's status is already destined.
But could Toni Kroos be less effective than Modric?
Modric's characteristics and his playing style allow him to play a decisive role in vertical advancement.
His ability to get rid of and push forward, as well as his passing ability are really strong. At the same time, he also has excellent defensive ability and willingness to defend, which makes him even more valuable.
If Modric represents precision, then Toni Kroos represents a kind of skill without workmanship.
The German midfielder is more lateral, such as his fast and accurate long pass transfer.
It is precisely because of these characteristics of two midfielders that they are extremely scarce even now, not to mention the future, which has led to many people not being able to use them well.
For example, at Tottenham Hotspur, Modric took on too many tasks and was under too much pressure. Although the arrival of Van der Vaart greatly reduced his pressure, the Dutch midfielder was no longer at his peak.
Toni Kroos's situation at Bayern is even more embarrassing. Everyone is conflicted about how to use him.
In Gao Shen's previous life, as a die-hard Real Madrid fan, he really liked Toni Kroos and Modric so much that he wanted to buy Modric over and over again, but failed to do so.
Sometimes, Gao Shen wonders, times have changed. Can the legendary midfield combination of Toni Kroos and Modric still fit together in Real Madrid?
…
He thought so, but Gao Shen still walked over with a smile and greeted his players as they walked off the field. He also met with Bayern players, such as Franck Ribery, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Lahm and Thomas Muller, etc.
, are all players that Gao Shen admires very much.
But what he really wants to know is Toni Cross.
"What a pity! I couldn't see you unleash your talents to the fullest!" Gao Shen said in a very sincere tone when shaking hands with Toni Kroos.
Only Toni Cross could hear these words. In the eyes of others, Gao Shen treated him the same as everyone else.
Even Gao Shen is more enthusiastic about Schweinsteiger and Ribery.
Toni Cross looked at Gao Shen with disbelief on his face, he was shocked.
At Bayern, he really felt frustrated and embarrassed, and he couldn't explain why.
But when Gao Shen suddenly said this, it seemed to hit Toni Kroos's weakness.
"Come on! Don't be discouraged. I hope we can cooperate if we have the opportunity in the future!" After saying that, Gao Shen reached out his hand again, shook hands with Toni Cross, then patted him on the shoulder and walked away.
The German midfielder was left standing there alone, obviously still chewing on Gao Shen's words.
He...is he optimistic about me?
The young man was confused.
That’s world-famous profundity!
Legend has it that all the players he took a liking to became top superstars!
Does he really think highly of me?
But Toni Kroos quickly lost his joy and became calm again.
He always looks like a cold-faced person with no expression, and his emotions and anger are invisible.
This also represents his style on the court, which is very stable, as stable as a robot.
…
Gao Shen had no doubt that he had a disease.
And it is a very serious terminal illness.
That is, when he sees the players he likes, especially those young players, he can't help but want to flirt with them.
I'm in my early thirties. I wonder if this is a bad taste for a quasi-middle-aged man?
There were several times when Gao Shen was so impulsive that he wanted to walk from the Manchester City side of Carrington to the Manchester United side to go see Pogba in the Red Devils youth training camp.
Well, there is also the best No. 10 midfielder in history, the great Lin Huang.
In this regard, Gao Shen is actually very similar to Van Gaal.
The whole world knows that Van Gaal is also known for being good at coaching young players.
But this unlucky Bayern head coach is afraid that he will become another victim of injustice.
The German media had previously said that if Bayern were eliminated from the Champions League, Van Gaal would probably be dismissed early.
Now……
However, strangely enough, when Van Gaal came to Gao Shen after the game, his attitude was actually better than at the beginning. Especially when chatting with Gao Shen, he mostly talked about football and defensive positions.
bit, talk about the players.
Gao Shen pointed out that Bayern made a lot of passing and receiving errors in this game, especially in the frontcourt.
Gomez and Altintop are two big problems. As a result, after the ball reaches the frontcourt, it is never able to pose a threat. The problem can often only be solved by Ribery's individual combat ability.
Van Gaal also felt the same, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Now Bayern only has Gomez as their main center forward. If Klose is replaced, his performance may not be as good as Gomez.
As for the right side...
"Actually, in 2009, the player I wanted was Robben!"
Gao Shen said secretly in his heart, I know.
But on the surface, he still pretended to be surprised, "Really? Then how..."
No action yet?
Van Gaal shrugged tacitly, shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Sometimes, Bayern's management is indeed too calculating.
Of course, this is not a bad thing. After all, Bayern is now the healthiest team in European football, and it is also a goal of Leeds United.
From the beginning to the end, Van Gaal never talked about losing with Gao Shen, as if to him, he didn't care about losing at all.
Or, for Van Gaal, losing is also a way for him to improve himself.
"He is a pure football coach!"
Gao Shen watched Van Gaal leave and said to Carlo and Sarri.
The two of them nodded.
Van Gaal still has a very good reputation in this industry.
For Sarri, Gao Shen has been carefully cultivating him. Many times, he fully let Sarri do many things. Even in some games and formations, he would let Sarri express his opinions and provide corrections himself.
.
As a head coach with a non-professional background, Sarri lacks experience in many aspects.
The simplest thing is that many of his ideas may not actually be possible for players.
This is also where Gao Shen has changed and improved the most in the past three years after following him.
Gao Shen never follows any rules when it comes to using troops. He has his own set of ideas, but he also adopts different playing styles according to different opponents and adapts accordingly. This has also benefited Sarri a lot.
To be honest, Gao Shen can hand over the responsibility of Leeds United to the Premier League to Sarri, which in itself is the greatest trust and support for him.
Looking at Van Gaal's back, Gao Shen couldn't help but remind him.
"There is no one-size-fits-all approach to coaching. Don't let your thinking fall into a paranoid rut."
In Gao Shen's previous life, Sari was actually a very stubborn person and not very good at adapting. This was not acceptable.
Sarri is not young anymore, and he has a certain understanding of certain things in his own thinking, and he has a clearer understanding of what Gao Shen means by what he said to him.
Just like Van Gaal tonight.
If he had adopted more prudent tactics, no need to be conservative, just more stable, then the situation might not be so bad.
Of course, Van Gaal can also say that he is sticking to his own values and ideas.
But we can't blame the outside world for being too harsh on him, because professional football has always been very realistic and judges heroes based on success or failure.
No one will pay for other people's values and ideas, especially at the level of capital operations.
This game not only defeated Van Gaal, but also taught Sarri a lesson.
He is about to take over Leeds United. Gao Shen is telling him that it is difficult for a paranoid to survive without strong strength.
Even a famous coach like Van Gaal cannot do whatever he wants at Bayern, but must be constrained at every turn.
