If you look at Heynckes' coaching resume, it can be described as ups and downs.
He started coaching Monchengladbach. In a few years, he brought the team a UEFA Cup runner-up and a German Cup runner-up, making him a famous coach in Germany. He was able to coach Bayern Munich for four years and one hundred days.
, two league championships, two Super Cup championships, many people believe that Heynckes has consolidated Bayern's dominance in German football during his coaching period.
After leaving Bayern, Heynckes successively coached Athletic Bilbao, Frankfurt, Tenerife and Real Madrid. In that season at Real Madrid, he reached the pinnacle of his coaching career and won a Champions League championship.
But after winning the championship, the get out of class was dismissed.
After that, Heynckes briefly coached Benfica, but it was unsuccessful. After returning to La Liga, he coached Athletic Bilbao again, and the results were quite satisfactory. However, in 2003, he was invited back to the Bundesliga to coach Schalke 04.
After one season, from 2004 to 2005, Schalke only played three games, with one win and two losses. Heynckes was fired and became the shortest-lived coach in the Bundesliga that season.
The reason given by Aschauer, the general manager of Schalke 04, was that many players in the locker room complained to him, believing that Heynckes worked very hard, but his philosophy was out of date and he lost the trust of the players, so he was dismissed
Forced to fire him.
Two years later, in the summer of 2006, Heynckes returned to coach his hometown team Monchengladbach.
Heynckes was once a hero of the city. Even when Monchengladbach bid for the World Cup venue, Heynckes was the city's ambassador, responsible for traveling around Germany, which made his giant profile picture appear.
The qualifying match took place outside the Poker Hill Stadium and was greeted with enthusiasm by Monchengladbach fans.
Monchengladbach's results this season are also very strange. In the first eight rounds of the league, they won all four home games and lost all four away games. At their best, they were ranked fifth in the league, but starting from the eighth round, they
Chinggladbach has lost a match.
But this time, Heynckes was not fired, but took the initiative to resign because he received three death threats. The most serious one even required the police to protect him when he went to the stadium.
Under such circumstances, it is obvious that he cannot continue coaching at Monchengladbach.
So, after the winter break, he announced his resignation.
…
Looking at Heynckes' resume after coaching Real Madrid, it can be described as lackluster.
But if you carefully study the teams he takes over, it is not difficult to find a problem, that is, the timing of his takeovers is generally not good, and most of them are mid-range or even lower-tier teams.
For example, if you look at the roster of Borussia Monchengladbach this season, it is not difficult to find that this team has encountered a wave of injuries, with many injured players, which has led to Heynckes' deployment.
The formations are all stretched thin.
And everyone knows that mid- and lower-tier teams have an obvious characteristic, that is, their lineups are relatively thin. They can often only assemble a strong main lineup and specialize in one front. If they are distracted from fighting on both fronts, their results will be immediate.
decline.
This is true for Celta Vigo in La Liga, Everton in the Premier League, etc.
On the one hand, there was a wave of injuries to the team, and on the other hand, there was the tremendous pressure brought by the turbulent public opinion from the outside world, and there were even death threats from extreme fans. It was said that even his wife was in danger, so Heynckes chose to resign.
Su Dong had talked with Heynckes before, and Heynckes also told him that he admired Barcelona's ball-control style very much. Perhaps it was because he had been coaching in La Liga for a long time that Heynckes was no longer accustomed to German football.
, which made Su Dong a little worried about his coaching.
In comparison, Van Gaal seems to be more reliable.
Although Van Gaal also experienced Waterloo with Barcelona, he quickly proved his ability again with the coaching of Alkmaar.
Then will Heynckes be the best at talking and talking about anything he can't do?
Hoeness has repeatedly emphasized that there is absolutely no problem with Heynckes' abilities and ideas.
The Bayern giant told Su Dong that the thing he regretted most was firing Heynckes, which was a very serious mistake, and he believed that what Heynckes was best at was integrating the team and letting others decide what to do.
"He is particularly good at stimulating players' abilities to the maximum extent by formulating tactics."
Not only Hoeness was full of praise for Heynckes, but Beckenbauer also highly praised him, which gave Su Dong some confidence.
But what really made Su Dong build confidence in him was after meeting him in person.
…
When he met Heynckes again, the German coach did not carefully prepare any materials, nor did he sell his ideas in a long speech. Instead, he sat down directly and explained in an unscripted way the problems he faced with Bayern Munich.
Heynckes believes that Bayern's current problem is not with defense, but with offense and midfield organization.
This is consistent with the judgment of Bayern's Big Three.
So far this season, Bayern has conceded 19 goals in 17 rounds, tied for third in the Bundesliga, more than Nuremberg's 16 goals and Schalke 04's 17 goals. Like Stuttgart and Bielefeld, it is more than the current ranking.
Werder Bremen, who are at the top of the list, are still three goals short, which shows that the defensive problem is not that big.
The real problem is the offense.
"Since Ballack and Ze Roberto left the team, the creativity of Bayern's midfield has declined sharply. Although Van Bommel was introduced from Barcelona, the Dutch midfielder cannot make up for the problems in Bayern's midfield."
"Magath tried to use Schweinsteiger as the attacking midfielder and let him serve as the team's core organizer. Schweinsteiger also said that his idol is Zidane, but in fact, Schweinsteiger
We all saw what Steiger did."
Beckenbauer nodded, "He is not suitable for attacking midfielder."
"Yes, he is very comprehensive, can attack and defend, can pass long and short passes at a high level, is also very diligent in defense, and is very involved in the game, but his foot skills are not delicate enough and it is difficult to hold the ball in densely defended areas, so
We saw that when he played as an attacking midfielder, he seemed very awkward and did not fully utilize his advantages."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But on the wing, he also lacks speed." Hoeness is also not satisfied with Schweinsteiger's current performance.
Not only Hoeness, but many people think so, Schweinsteiger's problem is very contradictory.
I originally wanted him to replace Ballack, but found that he couldn't do it. He lacked speed on the wing and didn't have strong impact. This was very embarrassing.
"Perhaps you can try Barcelona's fourth position, or retreat like Pirlo." Su Dong suddenly spoke.
Everyone present was stunned.
Beckenbauer and others are all famous players who have played football for many years. Among them, Beckenbauer himself is also a very great head coach, and Heynckes also has quite a lot of coaching experience. When Su Dong said this, they all understood immediately.
come over.
Ancelotti moved Pirlo from the attacking midfielder to the defensive midfielder, which can be said to have opened a new door for European football.
If Pirlo can do it, why can't Bastian Schweinsteiger?
"It's worth a try!" Beckenbauer nodded with a smile.
…
Heynckes said that he highly admires Barcelona's tactical style of play and even thinks that Rijkaard has not tapped out all the potential of this style of play, but he believes that this style of play is not suitable for Germany.
"This is my constant reflection in the past few years from coaching Schalke 04 to Monchengladbach. We have our characteristics and advantages, execution and discipline. These are our advantages. Loew and I
, Klinsmann has talked about it, and they are all thinking about this issue, and I think there is another young coach in the Bundesliga who deserves attention."
Beckenbauer, Hoeness, Rummenigge and others looked at each other and laughed.
"Joseph, are you talking about Mainz's Klopp?" Hoeness asked with a smile.
"How do you know?" Heynckes was surprised.
"He is indeed a very thoughtful head coach. We have always paid close attention to him. Due to the overall strength of Mainz, many of his ideas cannot be realized. This is indeed a pity. He is a very interesting young man.
." Beckenbauer also praised.
Su Dong was very surprised when he heard this.
Mainz is currently the bottom team in the Bundesliga, but Bayern's three giants praise a coach who is at the bottom and is likely to lead the team to relegation. This has to be said to be very surprising.
Of course, what is even more surprising is that Heynckes has just dismissed Borussia Monchengladbach, whose ranking is only two places higher than Mainz and is also in the relegation zone, but he is still sitting in front of Bayern's big three and giving guidance.
"I guess Klopp should be very grateful to you now, Joseph." Hoeness smiled.
"Why?"
"Didn't Kickers conduct a questionnaire to see who would be the first head coach to be fired in the Bundesliga this season?"
Heynckes immediately laughed and waved his hands repeatedly.
In that questionnaire survey, Mainz's Klopp was the number one favorite. Unexpectedly, Heynckes was the first to be dismissed, which relieved Klopp's embarrassment.
…
The atmosphere throughout the meeting was quite relaxed and pleasant, and the conversation was very candid.
There is neither the slightest tension of an interview, nor the seriousness of a superior assessing his subordinates. It looks more like a group of peers chatting about topics of mutual concern and discussing each other's knowledge and understanding of football.
Although Su Dong had no chance to interrupt, he still benefited a lot.
Especially this kind of opportunity to experience the understanding of football from legendary stars such as Beckenbauer up close is quite rare.
Heynckes said that he could not promise what results he would achieve after coaching Bayern, but he would do his best.
"I will position myself as an Avenger. I will prove my ability to everyone again, get rid of the bad impression of the past few years, and let the world know me again. Even though I am already sixty-one, I don't feel like I
old."
the Avengers?
Su Dong was quite fond of this name, and immediately smiled and said that he was also an Avenger.
"Then let us two Avengers form an Avengers Alliance!"
Heynckes smiled and held Su Dong's extended hand very hard.
