Coaching a team is actually a very complex system engineering.
Fans often only get a glimpse and see a small part of it.
In other words, it is the tip of the iceberg exposed by the team, and more is under the water that cannot be seen.
It was as if Bayern returned to the Bundesliga after playing at the Bernabeu and faced their ninth-round opponent, Wolfsburg.
This is Bayern's home court. Wolfsburg's performance this season is not particularly good. Currently ranked fifth in the Bundesliga, Bayern is still very confident to win against its opponents at home.
At the same time, Bayern's schedule is quite intensive.
After returning from the Bernabeu, we finished playing Wolfsburg on the weekend. There is also the 10th round of the Bundesliga in the middle of the week, and the 11th round on the weekend, followed by the fourth round of the group against Real Madrid. The schedule is quite tight and will not leave any room for Bayern.
any chance to breathe.
In such a dense schedule, the team must make appropriate rotations.
More importantly, Bayern's locker room appears to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact many players are already complaining.
For example, Podolski performed well in the European Cup. After returning to Bayern, he also got a chance. However, with the comeback of Franck Ribery and Robben, he was reduced to a substitute and it was difficult to get playing time.
He complained to Heynckes frequently.
It was even pointed out vaguely in the German media before that Heynckes was unwilling to give him a chance.
And Lensing.
After his hip-stretching performance against Werder Bremen, he did receive a flood of doubts. Then Heynckes let him play in the German Cup again, but Neuer was the main player in the next few games.
Of course it can be said that Neuer played well and performed very bravely, but in Lensing's view, he has not lost yet, he just got less game time, so his agent put pressure on the media, thinking that
Bayern should give Lensing more game time and be more lenient with him.
In fact, even within the team, such voices are loud and clear.
Podolski and Lensing are just representatives. There are other players in the team who are also eager to get opportunities, such as Demichelis, Van Bommel, Van Buyten and so on.
If a team wants to continue to fight, the thickness of the bench lineup is essential, and how to coordinate the playing time of the main players and substitute players is a profound knowledge that tests the head coach.
This is why many people say that coaching is actually an art of management.
…
Against Wolfsburg, former Bayern coach Magath returns to the Allianz Arena.
He frequently provoked before the game, just to take advantage of Bayern's distraction in the Champions League and give Bayern a fatal blow in the away game.
Heynckes took into account the upcoming schedule and the mood of the players in the locker room, and immediately rotated the team.
Podolski partnered with Klose to form a double forward, with van Bommel, Demichelis and others also joining the team. Lensing replaced Neuer as the goalkeeper.
This is actually also examining the status and performance of the substitute players.
This group of Bayern's substitute players indeed performed very hard and played very hard on the scene. They cherished this hard-earned opportunity and wanted to prove their strength at the Allianz Arena.
But sometimes you just work too hard and the results are not good.
In the first thirty minutes, Bayern took the initiative on the court and put pressure on Wolfsburg.
But in the 31st minute, the Wolfsburg midfielder intercepted Van Bommel's pass and launched a quick counterattack. After receiving the ball, Dzeko broke into the penalty area and was tackled from behind by Demichelis.
The tackle was overturned in the penalty area.
The referee awarded the penalty kick without hesitation.
The whole Allianz Arena was booed!
Grafite scored in one stroke and opened the scoring for Wolfsburg.
But what was unexpected was that just two minutes later, Japanese midfielder Makoto Hasebe made a pass from the right, and Dzeko headed the ball in the penalty area, giving Wolfsburg another victory.
In less than three minutes, Wolfsburg scored two goals!
Magath was so excited that he rushed out of the coaching bench, raised his hands in the air, cheered loudly, venting his inner excitement and excitement.
He left Bayern with failure, and tonight, he will take revenge here!
…
Su Dong was sitting on the bench, watching Magath in front of the visiting team's coach's bench, who was already celebrating a little out of control, and was secretly amused in his heart.
How depressed must he be to be so excited?
From Su Dong's understanding, it seems that Bayern's players are more aggrieved than him, right?
I was trained so hard by him in the beginning, but as a result, I suffered a lot, but my results didn't come out.
Now that you are fine, you come back and score two goals, do you think you have taken revenge?
But looking at the Bayern players on the court, Su Dong also felt angry.
Needless to say about Klose, what he is best at is not scoring goals.
Podolski likes to complain, but this time he was put on the field, what about his performance?
There is also Lensing. The first goal conceded was Demichelis's mistake. He is not to blame for not saving the penalty kick, but he must be responsible for the second goal conceded. Dzeko's head near the penalty spot
The ball hit the goal, but he didn't even react at all.
It can be said that in the first half alone, several of Bayern's substitute players really did not show their ability to challenge the main players.
After conceding two goals in a row, Bayern's performance still failed to improve.
Ribery seemed a little lonely on the left side.
Of course, Su Dong is not blaming the substitute players. After all, some of them have not played for a long time, and their condition cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, it is normal for them to complain in their hearts as they have been substitutes for a long time.
It can only be said that Bayern's rotation failed tonight.
If he really continues to play like this, Magath might really be able to score three points.
…
During the halftime break, Su Dong, Robben, and other teammates were warming up and training on the court.
This also represents a signal that Heynckes does not intend to make substitutions during the halftime break.
To a certain extent, Heynckes is telling the players that he still believes in them and hopes that they can perform and perform at their true level in the second half, preferably to reverse their opponents.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the contrary, the fans in the stands of the Allianz Stadium seemed very anxious. During the halftime break, many people were shouting Su Dong's name.
"I guess the fans at this time must be worried, Hey, Su, why aren't you playing yet?" Robben said with a smile. He has now completely accepted the reality that Su Dong is Bayern's number one superstar.
No matter in terms of game performance, team role, or off-field value, he can't compare to Su Dong.
If you don't admit it, what else can you do?
Su Dong was also happy, pretending to be regretful and lamenting: "The opponent is too weak, there is no need to kill a chicken with a butcher's knife!"
Robben and the surrounding Bayern players were also amused.
This is indeed a joke, but to a certain extent, Su Dong is really outstanding in the Bundesliga.
To exaggerate, he really didn't encounter any challenges here.
The best defender in the Bundesliga is in Bayern. Among other teams, which central defender can trap Su Dong?
Let alone one person, many times when two central defenders play together, it is difficult to defend Su Dong.
Neither Ferdinand nor Vidic could trap Su Dong, and it was even more difficult for other central defenders in the Bundesliga.
…
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Heynckes made appropriate adjustments in the midfield. Bayern once launched a wave of offensive, but failed to create a threatening shooting opportunity, which made the scene look a bit dull.
The Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena could not sit still and became agitated.
Magath has made it clear that his chariot and horses are here to avenge the enemy, but now he wants him to leave triumphantly?
If we really do this, where will Bayern's face go in the future?
Also, even if Bayern is playing as a substitute lineup, in fact, these substitute players are still in Bayern. If they are thrown to other Bundesliga teams, even if they go to Wolfsburg, then they are not proper main players?
The result was not good, but he was bullied like this at home?
The restless fans began to make noises and even started shouting Su Dong's name, obviously putting pressure on Heynckes, hoping that he could make a substitution as soon as possible.
It's time, don't care if you kill a chicken or a cow, as long as you can win, anything will do!
Heynckes gradually became unable to sit still.
When the game reached the 58th minute, he stood up from the coaching bench, looked at the bench, waved to Su Dong and Robben, and motioned for them to come over quickly.
The Bayern fans in the stadium cheered excitedly when they saw it.
It’s long past time for a replacement!
It’s true that Old Man Hai has to wait until now!
…
"What do you think?" Heynckes asked Su Dong with concern.
Su Dong looked at the direction of the court, shook his head and said: "The offensive performance was too poor."
"Barzagli did well," Heynckes said pointedly.
Su Dong grinned and said, "You old man is full of bad ideas. Don't deliberately provoke me with your words. I can kill Nesta, Cannavaro and Maldini, so why are you afraid of Barzagli?"
When Heynckes saw Su Dong like this, he immediately felt relieved.
"Then leave it to you!"
Su Dong nodded, "Don't worry, you can just sit in the coaching bench with peace of mind. If you win the game, treat me to dinner!"
"No problem, you can choose the time and place." Heynckes was also happy.
There is no other way. In order to win, what else can he not give up?
…
When Su Dong and Robben both walked to the sidelines and were about to come on as substitutes, the entire Allianz Arena burst into thunderous cheers.
All the Bayern fans in the audience were chanting Su Dong's name, obviously looking forward to his appearance.
This comes from the fact that in the past two years, since Su Dong joined, he has won one victory after another and scored one goal after another.
In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Magath also looked worried when he saw Su Dong coming on as a substitute. He immediately walked to the sidelines and called to the Wolfsburg players on the field, asking them to pay attention to defense, especially to defend.
Focus on their forwards.
A two-goal lead is indeed a big advantage, but facing a superstar like Su Dong, who dares to say that he is sure?
There are about thirty minutes left in the second half. If Su Dong really performs his best, it is not impossible to be reversed.
Thinking of this, Magath still felt uneasy, and took advantage of the dead ball to call the players on the back line over and give them a warning.
On Bayern's side, Podolski was replaced by Su Dong in disinterest.
If he could complain that he didn't get a chance before, now he can only accept his fate.
