Bayern is the most professional football club Su Dong has ever experienced.
This professionalism is reflected in all aspects, from the management to the coaching staff to the staff, everyone is like a component on the German tank of Bayern. When the tank points in one direction and launches a charge, all the parts
The components all operate efficiently.
After the afternoon training session, Su Dong went to the gym alone for extra training, accompanied by Marcelo, Toni Kroos and Pepe. When the group came back after the extra training, he found Heynckes waiting for him in the locker room.
.
He wanted to talk to Su Dong alone.
When I arrived at Heynckes' office, before my butt was warm, Heynckes' phone rang. Not long after, Hoeness and Rummenigge also came over. They were having a meeting in the office in the administrative building next door.
, discussing the Champions League quarter-final knockout rounds.
Hoeness just flew back from UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, and brought first-hand news.
The two giants, plus the head coach, plus Su Dong, sat together and chatted about the Champions League quarterfinals.
Heynckes has a deep understanding of Barcelona, Bayern giants and their coach. Heynckes has mentioned more than once that he likes Barcelona football very much because he has coached in Spain for many years.
As the most successful team in European football in the past few years, Bayern giants have also studied Barcelona. Hoeness and Rummenigge are naturally familiar with it. They both know Barcelona's style by heart, but many things are not as good as those of Barcelona.
Coming from the east is clear.
Because he personally led this Barcelona team from the moment of reorganization to the peak step by step, and now watched it decline from the peak with his own eyes, Su Dong has a deeper understanding of Barcelona football than outsiders.
During the conversation, Su Dong mentioned the process of Barcelona exploring this football style, the most important game of which was the 5-0 victory over Real Madrid.
"In that game, the young Barcelona launched a crazy full-court press against the aging Real Madrid, leaving Real Madrid unable to fight back. That was the first time we were so sure that we could play such a wonderful offensive.
football."
Later, Su Dong mentioned Barcelona's defense.
In the first season he joined Barcelona, defense was a big problem, but his defensive level improved greatly in the second season, and the same is true this season. A very important reason is Puyol's mobility and tracking ability, as well as
Joining Marcos Senna.
"Facing Barcelona, there are several things that must be done well. The first is the defensive order."
Su Dong believes that in today's world football, when it comes to controlling the ball, no one can do it better than Barcelona, including Arsenal.
Bayern's ability to control the ball is not even as good as Arsenal's, let alone compete with Barcelona.
Since you can't grab it, you can only defend.
"Barcelona's ball control is like water. You never know where he will find a gap and penetrate it. So what we can do is not block it, but directly build a dam and let Barcelona stay outside the dam.
Control the ball, but if you want to ensure that the dam is strong and not penetrated by Barcelona's passing and ball control, you need to have a careful formation and strict order."
Not only Heynckes, Hoeness and Rummenigge were all top European stars. They have been engaged in football for many years, and they immediately understood what Su Dong meant, and the strict tactical order, this aspect is all for the German team.
Strengths.
"It can be done if we give up possession," Heynckes said.
But this is just the beginning.
Su Dong quickly made a second request, which was Barcelona's counterattack.
Barcelona's counterattack has always been a very important means of their offense, and it has always been this way since they defeated Real Madrid that year.
But as the form of players such as Ronaldinho and Deco declined, or they became lazy, Barcelona's ability in this area also declined sharply.
But once it comes to a strong dialogue, if Bayern is not prepared in advance, it will be very difficult for Bayern to deal with Barcelona's active counter-attack during the game, and this requires Bayern to become familiar with and adapt to Barcelona's counter-attack as soon as possible, and
Able to move the ball quickly.
This is not an easy thing to do, but Bayern now has the technical ability.
Not only the midfield but also the defense have very good ball-taking and passing abilities, which ensures that Bayern can indeed hold the ball during Barcelona's counter-attack, provided that it can adapt to Barcelona's counter-attack.
"Ronaldinho and Deco are currently insufficient in running and counter-attacking. Eto'o and Henry are new arrivals and have not yet integrated into Barcelona's tactical system. Messi is injured and absent, and Barcelona's frontcourt is missing.
In order to challenge the player with the strongest ability, this is simply an opportunity specially arranged for us by God."
Messi's absence will be a huge blow to Barcelona's offense.
After Heynckes listened to Su Dong's analysis, he immediately began to think about what kind of targeted training the team should arrange next. It would be best to directly confront each other in groups during training to let the players become familiar with Barcelona's counterattack.
.
Su Dong believes that if the first two points are achieved, Bayern will basically be able to stabilize its position under Barcelona's passing and ball control system, and the next thing to do is to focus on the details to completely restrict Barcelona.
"Xavi must be controlled. He is the brains of Barcelona. Whether his partner is Deco or Iniesta, as long as we restrict Xavi, Barcelona's midfield threat will be reduced by more than half.
"
"I also noticed that recently, my friend Marcos Senna has lost his main position. Barcelona arranged for Yaya Toure, but the Ivorian's sense of position is far from that of Marcos Senna. Yaya...
Toure does not seem to be a deep-lying midfielder in his proper role and is too sticky on the ball."
"In addition, the current two main central defenders Puyol and Gabriel Milito are too short."
Su Dong obviously made this last point based on his own advantages, which made Heinke and Hoeness smile. But he was right. Barcelona's central defender is very capable of holding and delivering the ball.
, but it is on the short side and lacks strength for confrontation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is a common phenomenon among the Barcelona team, and it is also the reason why Barcelona has more than 60 corner kicks, but only scored one corner kick. To put it bluntly,
It’s just that the players can’t compete.
…
Su Dong put forward many opinions, and Heynckes also recorded them one by one.
What Su Dong said is very valuable, because he has a deep understanding of Barcelona football, and he is the kind of person who likes to ponder, so his understanding is naturally deeper.
Heynckes and the Bayern giants even felt that Su Dong was about to become a Barcelona star now.
Of course, this is no secret.
In fact, there are not many secrets in tactics, and they change every game. They will make slight adjustments according to the opponent, and sometimes they will even completely change their style.
Therefore, Su Dong's revelations are considered normal in European football. Every player basically does this when meeting his old club after a transfer. If this involves leaking secrets, then secrets will be leaked almost every day in European football.
Heynckes also attached great importance to what Sudong provided. He discussed some of the issues with Hoeness and Rummenigge on the spot, and Sudong occasionally gave some opinions.
Other more specific implementations and targeted training arrangements require internal meetings of the coaching staff to communicate.
This is just preparation work. If you really want to defeat Barcelona in the game, you need to do more, especially the players' on-the-spot performance and tactical execution, as well as a little luck on the court.
Although it is difficult to accept, all fans cannot deny that football is actually a sport with a high level of luck. Especially in this kind of strong dialogue, a goal conceded due to an accidental mistake in the opening game may completely overturn the outcome of the game.
.
Whether it's a coach or a player, all you can do is always do your best and listen to fate.

On March 15, in the 24th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Cottbus away from home.
The game ended in a 2-2 draw, with Su Dong scoring two goals, but Cottbus also seized on Bayern's mistakes and scored two goals in a row.
Although it was a draw, it had no impact on Bayern's championship win.
More importantly, Bayern used Cottbus to test some of the team's tactics in this game.
This is also a continuation of targeted training.
After drawing out Barcelona, Bayern's most important game is the Champions League quarter-finals. As for the Bundesliga and German Cup games, Bayern is basically guaranteed to win.
…………
…………
Three days later, Bayern faced Wolfsburg at home in the German Cup semi-finals.
After a fierce battle between the two sides for 90 minutes, Su Dong made a pass and shot, helping Bayern defeat Wolfsburg 2-0 and successfully advance to the German Cup final.
In another game, Dortmund defeated Jena 3-0 and met Bayern in the final.
After this traditional German powerhouse experienced a financial crisis at the beginning of the century, its performance has plummeted. This season it ranks 13th in the Bundesliga, and it seems difficult to pose a threat to Bayern.
But this is a German Cup final after all!
…………
…………
Over the weekend, in the 25th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern faced Leverkusen at home.
Su Dong scored two goals for Bayern in the first half, and Robben scored another goal in the second half.
In the end, Bayern defeated Leverkusen 3-0 at home and scored three points again.
…………
…………
A week later, in the 26th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Nuremberg away from home.
Since he will go to Camp Nou to challenge Barcelona in midweek, Heynckes hid most of the main players, including Su Dong, in this game and played almost as a substitute lineup in the away game.
As a result, Bayern was unlucky in the away game and ended up with a draw with Nuremberg one to one.
…
Like Bayern, Barcelona is also recuperating its energy, giving up the league and fully preparing for the Champions League.
Rijkaard's team has almost no chance of overturning Real Madrid in the league, so Barcelona put all their energy into the Champions League.
From the draw of the Champions League quarter-finals to the competition, La Liga played four rounds. Barcelona's results were one win, one draw and two losses. It was not the results that a championship-winning team should have. Real Madrid directly widened the score gap.
But it also made Rijkaard's team more focused.
La Liga is far behind Real Madrid, and the Copa del Rey was eliminated by Valencia. The only place Barcelona has a chance to compete for is the Champions League.
The first leg of the home game against Bayern is even more unforgettable for Barcelona.
Even Mundo Deportivo believes that this is a key decisive battle not only related to the future of Barcelona’s Champions League, but also related to Rijkaard’s coaching position and the future of many Barcelona stars!
