Chapter 272: Schaf's Countermeasures (7400)
As soon as they entered the dressing room, Heathfield praised the team's performance in the first half.
Then he laid out the team's tactics for the second half.
“…… In the first half, we will definitely give the opponent the illusion that we will definitely defend like this in the second half, thinking that we are here to get a point away. So in the second half, on the basis of defending again, we have to attack. ”
The reason why Heathfield dared to let everyone attack instead of defending with all their might was because he was reassured by Glory's performance in the first half, and it was clear that Glory had been stopped by his tactics.
There is no threat to such glory.
If you continue to put all your energy into defense, it will be a bit wasteful.
In the second half, it was Bayern Munich's turn to be in the limelight.
※※※
And in the home team's dressing room, anyone saw the gloom of glory.
The first half against Bayern Munich was probably his worst since joining Werder Bremen.
No threatening shots, no successful breakaways, no threatening passes.
The glory of "genius" seems to have become that "parallel import" again overnight.
Bayern Munich have been very successful against him defensively indeed.
Schaff knows very well how much glory is to Werder Bremen today.
He can't be allowed to be so depressed, he must be changed.
As for how to change it......
After observing the court for a half, Schaaf also had some clues.
He's going to find a different way.
When ordinary people encounter a situation like Rongguang, they may let Rongguang take the ball less, because he is too easy to lose the ball when he plays like this, giving the opponent a chance to counterattack.
But Shaf's solution was to let Glory get more balls.
"Rong, in the second half you have to change the way you play." He said to Glory.
Glory looked up at Schaf.
"Passing people is not only by feints, but also by the changes in rhythm that you have shown during this time." Schaff made his own proposal.
A light was lit in Glory's mind.
That's right.
As long as you can pass people, no one stipulates what methods must be used.
Shouldn't the way he learned from Florian to speed up and adjust his cadence be used to get rid of it? He's done this in the previous games, and it's pretty good.
I invisibly fell into a misunderstanding, always thinking that my body was a little stiff, and my fake movements were not as smooth as before, so I wanted to compete with myself.
But this is simply not necessary.
The problem of stiffness will be solved later, and now he will win this game no matter what method he uses!
Isn't it okay to just pass the other person?
"Bayern Munich started this game mostly veterans, they have a lot of experience, but they also have a fatal flaw, that is, lack of fitness. As long as you keep hitting them, their physical strength will quickly decline. Use your strengths against their weaknesses, that's what you should do in the second half, Rong. ”
Rongguang already knows what he should do, so keep rushing, keep rushing, and use his speed and physical strength to drag down a group of old guys on the other side!
He immediately regained his confidence and replied loudly, "Look, Coach! ”
※※※
At halftime, Chinese reporters were in the media booth discussing the first half.
They are generally concerned about the performance of Glory.
It was clear that the form of the glory in this game was not good.
In fact, it is normal for players to have ups and downs, but the problem is that this game is different from the past, and the game with Bayern Munich is very important to Rongguang, these Chinese reporters know very well.
Glory will surely be hoping to score against Bayern Munich and put in a standout performance.
The feud between him and Bayern Munich is well known.
If someone else is in his position, it is estimated that he will only work harder.
But judging from the performance in the first half, it is estimated that it will be difficult to prove yourself in front of the old club if you want to make a difference......
"Well, even if there is no good performance in this game, it can't erase the good performance of Glory in Germany. Glory is only half a season now...... No, in less than half a season, he has already equaled the number of goals scored by Yang Chen in his first season in the Bundesliga, and he is already the first Chinese player in the Bundesliga...... That's not going to change because of the result of this game. ”
Among Chinese journalists, some have begun to defend Rongguang's performance.
They are making excuses for the failure of Glory.
Because there are objective reasons like this, it is understandable that Rongguang does not perform well in this game.
Molly listened to the discussion among her peers and admitted that they were right.
Even if the game was not good, it did not detract from the overall performance of Glory, and he was still the most surprising finding of the first half of the Bundesliga this season.
But......
Molly was a little unwilling in her heart.
If this game is not good, those Munich media will have something to say.
Especially the reporter named Timo Breuer, who was the first to be called a "parallel import" of Rongguang. Glory's performance in Werder Bremen swollen his face, so much so that he didn't come out for a long time to criticize Glory's performance. The glorious and outstanding performance was just not seen in his eyes.
But Molly knew that he was just waiting for an opportunity.
Waiting for an opportunity where he could start calling Glory "parallel goods" again.
And in this game, if Rongguang can't show a convincing performance, then Timo Brauer will definitely put the hat of "parallel goods" on Rongguang's head again.
Molly doesn't want Glory to be called a "parallel import".
Judging from Rongguang's performance during this time, he doesn't seem to like arguing with the media or anything, so if someone slanders him in the media, he probably won't fight back.
He probably won't hear it, right?
But we, as his supporters, who would be very aggrieved......
Don't give them a chance to slander you, okay, Rong?

At the start of the second half, there were no personnel changes on either side.
Schaff is because Werder Bremen's bench strength is not enough, and now he is the strongest team on the field, and he has no one to replace.
Of course, some people will think that Elton is very strong, but Schaaf will definitely not replace Elton for Glory.
If it happens, it's a very false signal.
The strength of Bayern Munich's bench is much higher than that of Werder Bremen, but in the first half, on the whole, it was beneficial to Bayern Munich, and he naturally had no reason to make substitutions.
Not to mention that he trusts the current group of old players very much.
Although these veterans have been very inconsistent throughout the first half of the season, there are signs of lack of motivation. But that doesn't stop Heathfield from trusting them in this game.
Because he believes that the game against Werder Bremen is a game of honour for those veterans.
Especially when it comes to glory, they will be motivated.
There has been controversy in the media about young people and veterans, and some media believe that Heathfield has loaned Lahm and Glory out of Lang and Rongguang successively, but does not pay attention to the performance of young people. He prefers to rely on veterans rather than youngsters.
That's understandable, as Heathfield regained the league title last season thanks to their veterans.
But the problem is that this season, the performance of the veterans is clearly not worthy of trust, and Heathfield continues to trust them, which is prone to controversy.
Heathfield believes the controversy will certainly spur the veterans.
So even if they can be absent-minded in other games, in this game, the veterans will give it their all 100 percent.
If they were defeated by glory, didn't that mean that Heathfield was wrong to trust them?
※※※
Heathfield was right in his analysis, the veterans were really scrappy in this game.
Change the absent-minded negative attitude in the previous game.
They run aggressively and fight fiercely.
It was precisely because of this that the first half was able to make the Werder Bremen players, including Glory, unable to do anything.
After the start of the second half, Bayern Munich's players did not reduce their defensive intensity.
But they felt the difference.
The difference between my safety and the first half came from the glory.
Glory had the ball significantly more in the second half than in the first.
Only ten minutes into the second half, he took the ball three times.
Although these three times ended in failure, this did not change the reality that Rongguang became more and more involved in the attack.
And......
It was the players of Werder Bremen who took the initiative to pass it to him and let him squander the opportunity.
Heathfield was surprised.
At the beginning, when he saw Glory squandering Werder Bremen's attacking opportunities like this, he still laughed in his heart, feeling that Glory was really self-defeating by playing like this, and the ball quotient was too low......
But now it seems that this is a tactic of Werder Bremen?
He turned his head to look at Schaff next door, the Werder Bremen manager who was standing on the sidelines, staring intently at the pitch.
Giving all the offensive opportunities to such a kid who has been frozen by me, are you committing suicide?
But Heathfield didn't think Schaaf was so stupid.
So there must be a reason why he did it.
But what could be the reason?
Heathfield turned his gaze back to the pitch.
Glory got the ball again.
He used his speed and agility to force his way through Jeremes' defence, but the ball was cut off by Ballack who caught up.
While Barack broke the football, he also knocked down the glory.
Watch Glory fall to the ground.
Heathfield frowned.
I can't think of any reason why Schaaf wasted his offensive opportunities so much!
Heathfield decided not to think about the problems he couldn't figure out.
If Werder Bremen is willing to squander their attacking opportunities like this, then we will fulfill them!
We'll take advantage of the opportunities you've squandered!
Heathfield got up from the dugout and walked to the sidelines, where he gestured to Ballack to get more involved in the attack, taking advantage of Werder Bremen's failed attack and launching a direct counter-attack to break through Werder Bremen's goal.
Barak nodded.
