Chapter 386: Front Waist
Schaaff put the newspaper down, Werder Bremen have been in excellent form lately, finishing first in the league and second in the Champions League group stage, with plenty of hope of progressing to the knockout stages.
Such a feat is very rare for Bremen fans and the media.
So they've all been very excited lately.
There's also a lot of hype about the team.
However, the praise of glory is the most.
Schaff had read several newspapers today, all of which were full of news about glory.
It stands to reason that he should be happy about this, but in reality Schaaf is not happy at all.
Because while these people are cheering for Glory, they all forget that Glory is not actually a player of Werder Bremen, he is a Bayern Munich player, but he was only loaned to Werder Bremen!
The better Glory performs, the more Werder Bremen relies on him, which is definitely not a good thing for Werder Bremen.
What happens after a season when Glory is gone?
Who can Werder Bremen rely on?
Is it really just two years of glory?
Schaaf was a little unwilling.
He always wanted to make Werder Bremedo glorious for a while.
Schaff, who had put down the newspaper, picked up his cell phone and dialed Alofs.
"If we're going to keep Rong, how likely is that?" He asked on the phone.
"There is only one way, and that is for us to pay 50 million euros for breaking the contract, so that Bayern Munich will not be able to stop us from negotiating a contract with Rong." On the phone, Alofs said.
He wasn't at all surprised that Schaaf had called him specifically to tell him about it.
Seeing that Rongguang's performance is getting better and better, he is already seriously considering this issue.
"Fifty million euros......" Schaff couldn't go on.
Werder Bremen is not a very rich club, and this summer, paying 5 million euros to buy Klose is a rare big investment.
That's a full ten times more expensive than Klose! Can Werder Bremen take it?
From a competitive point of view, 50 million may be worth the money, and with the glory, Schaaf is confident that he will lead the team to the championship.
But from a business point of view, can the investment of 50 million pay for itself?
The Chinese market is very large, but it is difficult to say whether it can open the Chinese market by relying on a glory. After all, I don't know why Lu Dao is still not a member of the Chinese national team. Maybe Rongguang is not as influential in the Chinese market as we think?
If the team has to cut the salary expenses of players for the sake of 50 million for many years, it will only make Werder Bremen a one-man team and lose its appeal to other stars.
"It's a gamble and I'll try everything I can, Thomas. You don't have to worry about Rong's affairs. Alofs seemed to understand what Schaaf was calling him for, he said.
"How could I not worry, Klaus? I have to know if Rong will be able to stay in the team next season. If he can stay in the team, that's no problem, I don't worry about anything. But if he can't, I have to think about what the team is going to do next season without glory. At that point, I won't be able to continue with my current tactics. Now we have Rong dependence......"
"I'm sorry, Thomas, but I can't give you an exact answer right now. Otherwise, you should prepare with both hands......"
Schaaf put down the phone.
Now that's all he can do.
Glory is still the core, of course, but he has to put Klose in a more important role in the tactical role.
So far, Klose's performances have not been consistent enough, with good and bad times. Because there is glory, no one cares about how he performs, and he doesn't care. Anyway, as long as Glory plays well, the team can win.
But that's not the case, there have been a couple of glorious goals this season, but the team has still lost.
This problem must be addressed, otherwise Werder Bremen will not go far.
We have a big game ahead and maybe it's an opportunity to make changes and adjustments......
※※※
When the team resumed training the next day, Schaaf arrived at the training ground early – as head coach, he was usually the first in the team to come to the training base, but he did not go to the training ground, but did the pre-training preparations in his office.
Therefore, in general, the first person to come to the training ground is always honored.
When he came to the training ground, Rongguang was already doing warm-up training on the field.
Although there is no coach and no teammates to cooperate, Rongguang is also very serious alone.
When he was warming up, Shaaf didn't bother him, but waited until he had finished his warm-up before walking up and greeting Glory.
"Good morning, Rong."
Rongguang was a little surprised to see the head coach on the training ground so early: "Good morning, coach. You're here early today? ”
"Yes, I'm looking for you for something, mind bothering for a few minutes?"
Rongguang shook his head: "No, don't mind, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Well, that's right, Rong ......" Shaff was thinking about how to talk to Rongguang, and he was careful about the words, so he said more slowly.
He didn't want to offend Glory either.
Glory is the heart of the team right now, and if the team wants to play well this season, it must rely on the strength of Glory.
Even if he wants to cure Werder Bremen's "Rong's dependence", he doesn't want the team to be completely out of need for glory.
'One thing I've noticed is that this season you've scored eight goals in the league and four in the Champions League group stage, but you've only had two assists. Now your opponents know you better and your defense against you is getting tighter. You've also had a lot of situations in the game where you get the ball but you can't get rid of the opponent and end up being cut off, right? ”
Glory nodded.
He did have a problem like this a lot in the game.
Everyone knows that he is the heart of Werder Bremen, so they will concentrate their forces to defend him.
Glory's countermeasure is to constantly improve his skills.
However, it didn't work well because he couldn't beat all the players who defended him anytime and anywhere during the game.
"It seems that you feel the same way, so let's solve this problem together. I think sometimes when you break through with the ball, you attract almost all the defenders and then your team-mates are unguarded and if you can pass the ball to them, they can directly threaten the opposing goal......
Seeing that Glory did not resist, Schaff threw out his purpose for seeking Glory.
It's an assist......
Glory thought after hearing Schaf's words.
It's not impossible to assist teammates, the only thing that makes Rong Guang hesitate a little is that the assist award is not as much as the goal award......
But Rongguang thought about it, if the team can't win and can't win the championship, then there will be no championship bonus.
It seems that this loss is even greater?
So he nodded: "Do what you say, coach." ”
When Schaaf saw him say this, he sighed in his heart.
Rongguang understands it this way, and then things are much easier.
"Then when we train next, we will make some adjustments and arrangements to the training content. I heard you played in the midfield position when you were in Brazil? ”
Glory nodded: "Yes." ”
'What do you think about the position of the midfielder?' Schaff asked.
"Can you score goals and assist?" To be honest, Glory really doesn't understand.
The answer he gave was very simple, a fan knows the truth, and even not as much as the ordinary fans.
Rongguang has never known much about football theory, and no one has prescribed it
When he was in Sao Paulo, although he played as a striker, he never really considered the role and meaning of the striker.
And Sao Paulo's head coach Osvaldo did not tell Rongguang what a real striker should do, he arranged Rongguang in the forward position, just because the forward position was not suitable for the original Rongguang. He let Rongguang play as a striker, but he expected Rongguang to score as much as a striker, and Rongguang did not disappoint him.
This style of play is also related to the tactical thinking of São Paulo at that time.
Whether it is Fabiano or Lucas, the main purpose of the two center forwards is not to score, but to cover Glory and Kaka so that they can score from behind.
So in fact, Osvaldo let Glory play not as a striker, but as a second striker.
But in fact, there are many forms of forward midfield, but generally speaking, the front midfielder is still the first duty to organize the attack.
So a striker who can only shoot and score, but can't pass the ball, everyone doesn't admit that it's a striker, but a shadow striker or something.
'You're able to score goals now, but you're not good at assisting. So I hope you'll be able to increase your training in this area. You have the ability to break through, but breaking through doesn't have to be about scoring by shooting yourself. You can use your breakthrough to disrupt the opponent's defense and then send the ball out...... In fact, the assist is quite fulfilling. ”
Rongguang didn't object, he nodded.
Because he suddenly thought that if he could break through and assist, wouldn't it be more difficult for the opponent to defend himself?
When the time comes, how will the other party know what he wants to do?
I can break through or pass the ball to assist, but when the opponent is defending myself to assist, I suddenly shoot!
Wouldn't this make the other party unguardable?
The more Rong Guang thought about it, the more he felt that it was a joke to do this, so he was not so resistant to coach Shaaf asking him to practice assists or something, on the contrary, he was quite looking forward to it.
"And when are we going to start, Coach?" He asked scrappyly.
Shaaf likes the character of Glory, and he does what he says, and does not drag the mud and water.
So he said, "Start today." ”
