Section 173 The Meeting of Two Tactical Masters (Part 2)
"Is that so?" Beckenbauer's vision was blank for a few seconds, and then he shook his head in despair: "What you said makes sense, maybe a bystander like you can see it more clearly."
"This is the progress of football. Free man tactics are different from other tactics. The requirements for 'free men' are too harsh. Unless a genius like you who is ahead of the times appears again, even if team discipline is used to force this tactic, it will not reach the goal."
Not as high as you." Xu Genbao said, walking side by side with Beckenbauer: "When it comes to free man tactics, you don't know how excited we were when we were watching your game on black and white TV in China.
.Why is your title not 'King of Football' but 'Emperor of Football'? In our opinion, it's because your status is too special. As long as you are on the field, you are the undisputed core and commander. 'King of Football' will be your whole life.
The overall rating of your performance is insufficient to describe your unique characteristics."
Beckenbauer smiled and asked curiously: "Were you able to see the World Cup in China at that time? What did you think of me at that time?"
"At that time, there were very few TVs in our country, but as the captain of the national team, we were still able to see your game. But what about the evaluation? Do you really want to know?"
"Of course!" Beckenbauer nodded: "It's a pity that I couldn't go to China to communicate with you at that time, but I would like to know what you think of me in your closed country, oh, and the free man tactics.
"
"Both our leaders and players agree with your football skills, but for free agent tactics." Xu Genbao said with a smile: "Our evaluation at the time was: the spirit of Western capitalism, the performance of individual heroism, no organization and no discipline, and the personal
A tactic of overriding the collective.”
"Hahaha" Beckenbauer laughed and said: "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. These comments are very familiar even though they are long ago! The media on the other side of the Berlin Wall also criticized me in the same way at that time. Almost every time I had a comment,
Whenever I perform well, I always pay attention to what my compatriots think of me, and as a result, they always criticize me while watching me play."
Xu Genbao also laughed and said: "Actually, we are the same. We can't understand this tactic, but at the same time we have to admit its value. Because no matter what, football is the winner after all. A competitive sport, after all, depends on
Results speak for themselves. On a football field with more than a dozen people, the performance of individual heroes cannot be avoided."
The two old men stepped on the green turf and faced the slanting sunshine of early spring in Germany. They talked about their youthful years together. When they talked about happiness, they inevitably danced. This was a very novel experience for the two people who had never met before.
For two people who have been engaged in football all their lives and have achieved extraordinary achievements in their respective careers, they have too many common memories and topics of the times.
The two old men casually strolled to the wooden chairs next to the training ground and sat down. The well-behaved Leonie gave them a cup of steaming coffee and a small plate of Munich gingerbread.
The two thanked Leonie and then continued chatting: "Jimbos, you should have noticed the discussion about you from the outside world, right?"
Seeing Xu Genbao nodding, Beckenbauer said: "My coming this time has something to do with the outside discussion. Your results are very good, and there are three Chinese players and a Chinese head coach who has never had one. I'm sorry.
I have to say that from the perspective of ordinary Germans, it is an unexpected surprise that Yang Chen appears in Chinese football, and now three more have appeared. Originally, the regional leagues did not deserve much attention, but your German Cup this year
The performance is too special. And after your tactical demonstration just now, I can feel that you will also pose a great threat to Schalke 04. So from your perspective, do you think it is better to open up foreign aid or continue the current policy?
"
Xu Genbao said with a smile: "If you look at it from the perspective of a head coach, of course the more players you can choose from, the better, and of course it is better to open up foreign aid. And if you look at it from the perspective of an old football person, purely from the perspective of the German country
From the perspective of the team and the German league, I also think that opening up to foreign aid is a good thing. There is no future in being closed. This is the same in any field, such as German football, such as my country. You know, we have now reformed and opened up.
After ten years, I have suffered enough from the hardship of being closed. In short, openness is the trend of the times. If German football is not open, then Germany will gradually lag behind the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and France at the league level, competitive level and even the national team level.
.This is probably what the German football community does not want to see."
Beckenbauer did not speak immediately. He thought deeply for a while and sighed: "Yes, times have changed after all. When we played football, there were basically no foreign players, and even if there were, they were only in small numbers.
But it did not affect the good results we achieved at that time. But it is different today. The capital factor in football determines that the game should be more beautiful, the confrontation should be more intense, and the players should move more freely. Whoever is closed and conservative will win in the league and the league
We are lagging behind in the competition. Unfortunately, our media still holds very conservative views, although many of us support opening up foreign aid. Unfortunately, it still takes time."
"By the way, Franz." Xu Genbao suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I just want to ask you, what will the Tubingen youth do next year? You know that although our team has a long history,
But the time in the mid-level and high-level leagues was very short. The year before last, it was in the fifth level, last year was in the fourth level, and this year it is close to the professional league. The foundation of our team is based on the university town of Tübingen, or
It is said to be based on a large number of foreign students who love playing football. In our team, if we follow the rigid rules, there are many foreign players. For example, our absolute main players now include Allison, Bai Guanghai, Wang Ai, and Boa
We have five foreign players including Teng and Luo Tongliang, and there are three or four more on the bench. But according to the regulations of the German Football Association, if we play in the Bundesliga next year, we can only play three players in each game, which is too detrimental to us."
Beckenbauer frowned and nodded.
"Listening to your words, it seems that the German Football Association is unlikely to open foreign players this year. What about next year? If it cannot be opened next year, we will be very difficult. You know that our team's history is not long, and the youth training center was built together with the stadium last year.
Yes, we don’t have a large number of players from youth training. Franz, can the German Football Association consider our situation? We don’t ask the German Football Association to treat us differently, but can it give us a transition?
Period? After all, our situation is a bit special."
