494 Selecting a Coach

Some people say that professional football is like a pyramid, and the four major European leagues are the top of the pyramid.

This also applies within the four major leagues.

German clubs had a peak period at the turn of the century, but with the bankruptcy of the Kirsch Group, German football suffered a devastating blow, and all German clubs, including Bayern, fell into a business crisis.

As a result, a series of reforms such as Bayern's shareholding system and Dortmund's IPO financing emerged.

The German Football Association has also begun to invest in youth training reform in a down-to-earth manner, hoping to cultivate more talents for German football.

After several years of low-key development, the financial situation of German clubs has improved, especially Bayern Munich.

In the outline drawn by Beckenbauer and others, if German football wants to develop and revitalize, it must adopt the flying goose model, using the leading goose to drive the following clubs forward.

Bayern Munich is the undisputed leader of German football.

If even Bayern can't catch up and lack competitiveness in European football, then other German clubs will be even more miserable.

After setting this tone, Beckenbauer, Rummenigge, Hoeness and others began to conduct in-depth discussions and research.

Magath's coaching this season has been very difficult. Before the winter break, Bayern's league ranking was only fourth, and it was not even qualified for the Champions League. This is unacceptable under any circumstances.

A coaching change is already on the table of Bayern management.

Since they want to be the leader in leading the development of German football, despite Magath's poor performance, Bayern Munich's goal for coaching changes has always been to lock in a world-class coach, and winning the Champions League is the first choice.

As a result, famous coaches such as Hitzfeld, Heynckes, and Van Gaal have all entered Bayern's coaching range.

In addition to the head coach, the introduced stars are also crucial.

A long time ago, Herbert Hainer, as the helmsman of the world's number one sports brand, had proposed a very bold idea to the Bayern management after he failed to compete with American brands for Sudong's sponsorship contract, which was to introduce Sudong.

East.

As a double footballer for two consecutive years, Su Dong's personal strength and influence in world football are obvious to all. However, Su Dong's net worth was astonishing at the time, despite receiving offers from many world-class companies such as Audi.

Strong support, but Bayern is still very hesitant.

But no one expected that Su Dong would terminate his professional contract with Barcelona and resume his free agency. Then the situation would be completely different.



"In the past period of time, we have maintained close contact with Su Dong's team."

Hoeness introduced the results of contacts and negotiations over the past few months.

"Su Dong has a rigid requirement for the team he will join next, that is, it must be ambitious and willing to invest in the Champions League. This coincides with our club's strategy."

If Bayern wants to be the leader of German football, it must make a difference in the Champions League. This is a must.

The Champions League is the most authoritative tournament in world football at the moment, and its technical and tactical value exceeds that of the European Cup and World Cup.

Only by winning the Champions League can Bayern truly realize its revival.

Of course, it is not easy to win the Champions League. It requires both strength and luck.

Otherwise, why is it said that the top four of the Champions League depends on strength, and the Champions League champion depends on luck?

It can be said that any team that has the ability to enter the semi-finals of the Champions League is a guaranteed Champions League championship team.

Of course, those short-lived dark horses are not among them.

Bayern's management has a very clear understanding of the team's current strength. If it performs steadily, it can basically enter the top eight, but if it wants to enter the semi-finals, it will need some luck.

Once they reach the semi-finals, unless they are extremely lucky, it will be difficult for Bayern to make any further progress.

Precisely because they have a clear enough understanding of their own strength, Bayern knows more clearly what they want to do and how to do it. They believe that the addition of Su Dong can greatly enhance Bayern's overall strength, especially the offensive firepower in the frontcourt.

"Pizarro and Salihamidzic have decided not to renew their contracts with the club, Sauer has also decided to retire, Hargreaves has been flirting with Manchester United for a long time, and Makai, we have decided to let him

leave."

Hoeness introduced the situation the team is currently facing.

Although it may seem like a big movement, this is also an opportunity.

Ma Kai is no longer as brave as he once was, and Sauer is even older. Pizarro, Salihamidzic, Santa Cruz and others can no longer fit Bayern's next strategy, but Hargreaves is.

It's a pity, but Manchester United dug too hard.

Previously, Bayern's three giants had reached a consensus on this, that is, they should leave as soon as possible and comprehensively increase their recruitment efforts.

For example, on the wing, Salihamidzic leaves?

Don't worry, Bayern has firmly locked in French winger Franck Ribery and is chasing after him.

If Su Dong is introduced on the front line, as well as Klose, who Bayern is contacting, just imagine, Bayern's attacking lineup will be weaker than it is now?

In terms of midfield, Bayern is also ambitious and is eyeing the rookie Luka Modric of Croatia's Dinamo Zagreb, but this young player is also favored by Arsene Wenger. Both sides are in contact and are worth a lot.

It's probably about 10 million euros.

Originally, Bayern was hesitant to introduce Su Dong because of the high transfer fee. But now, Su Dong is on a free transfer. Although a sky-high signing fee was given, compared to his transfer fee, Bayern is considered

Make a lot of money.

It is expected that the remaining money can be used to buy another powerful winger.

In this way, Bayern's entire lineup has completed its metabolism.

What's more, the average age of frame players was much younger than it is now.

This is so exciting!



"We have formulated a very detailed plan and plan regarding our team formation strategy and summer recruitment strategy. I told Jorge Mendes that in order to show our sincerity, we will take this with us

Plan to talk to Su Dong."

Everyone nodded. Now Bayern is hungry for talent, so they naturally want to show sincerity.

"The more troublesome thing now is the choice of head coach. Magath is definitely not suitable. We need to change the coach, but who?"

"Didn't you say that Heathfield was to be replaced?" someone asked.

Hoeness nodded, "Otmar is an old friend of ours and we are very familiar with him. We will not doubt his coaching ability. I also believe that after he returns to the team, he will be able to lead the team back to normal. However, I

I talked to him and I had two questions."

"First, he only wants to coach for half a year. Second, we know that his tactics are conservative and practical. Whether it is suitable for the current European football, or whether he can lead the team to achieve strategic goals, I think it is open to question.

"

Everyone understood what Hoeness meant.

Hitzfeld is an emergency or transitional player. If he is brought back at this time, it will definitely be temporary. Bayern will have to find a suitable head coach next. Is such a coaching change necessary?

If the team wants to increase investment, it must produce results. If the results are affected due to a coaching change, the gains outweigh the losses.

"Louis van Gaal is well known to everyone. Although his coaching at Barcelona failed, he returned to the Eredivisie and coached Alkmaar. The team's playing style was eye-catching. We had a meeting to study him before.

Kemar's coaching is not as radical as before. He incorporates more of the most popular quick counterattacks, and the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions is also faster. And we all know that he has his own set of ideas in building a team, and he is a very good player.

The right person."

With Alkmaar's coaching, Van Gaal returned to the ranks of first-tier coaches in European football.

It can be said that he has once again proved his coaching ability and convinced everyone that he is still the brilliant Van Gaal.

"However, Van Gaal also has problems. We all know that he has a bit of a weird temper. I heard before that he has a good relationship with Su Dong, and Su Dong appreciates his tactical ideas."

Inviting a head coach Su Dong admires to coach is also a way to attract players.

Every player likes to play under a head coach he admires, and I believe Su Dong is no exception.

"There is another one that everyone must be very familiar with, Heynckes."

Compared with Hitzfeld and Van Garbi, Heynckes actually has the weakest resume. Even if he has coached Bayern and Real Madrid, it can hardly be regarded as a success. Even if he wins the Champions League with Real Madrid, there are still many fans.

Remember, the head coach at that time was Heynckes?

It can be said that he had no sense of presence during Real Madrid's Champions League victory because he was fired after winning the championship.

But Heynckes has a high status in German football, and many head coaches admire him very much. For example, the current German national team coach Loew has high regard for Heynckes.

"Frankly speaking, I have a very good relationship with Heynckes. He has a very strong learning ability. Although he is very old, he can keep up with the times. Coaching has been very difficult in the past few years. That is because many times the head coach succeeds or fails in coaching.

It is often caused by many factors. There is no doubt about Heynckes' ability. He has been absorbing nutrients during this period, and he is better than he is mature and prudent."

The last candidate is the former coach of the German national team, the golden bomber Klinsmann.

His reforms in the German national team have been quite effective, but Klinsmann's problems are not small either.

Anyone who is familiar with the German national team knows that Loew is basically doing some of the training and preparations on weekdays. Now Loew is coaching the national team alone. Whether Klinsmann can continue the success of the national team by coaching alone is a lot of questions.

Everyone is worried.

Of course, fans outside still have a very good impression of Klinsmann, which is also a natural advantage for the legendary star to transform into a head coach.

Several candidates have their own advantages and problems. Hoeness also frankly stated all the favorable and unfavorable factors in order to give everyone present at the meeting an open and fair right to make a choice.

But in the end, no suitable candidate was selected.

After all, those who can be recognized by Hoeness's discerning eye and brought to this occasion for discussion are basically very suitable candidates. There will be no major mistakes. It is not surprising who to choose or not to choose.

After Beckenbauer pondered for a while, he nodded and said: "That's it, sort out these information first, and then call Su Dong's agent and tell him that I will invite Su Dong to dinner. They will decide the time and place. Let's sit down.

Come down and talk!”

This is tantamount to saying that the right to select Bayern's coach should be handed over to Su Dong.

It is not difficult to see from this how much Beckenbauer valued Su Dong.
