Chapter 760: Slackness
Now that Ribery has no opinion, Magath and his coaching staff began to develop a new strategy, which is still centered on glory, but with an additional backup plan, that is, Ribery as the backup core.
In normal times, it is still dominated by glory.
Just like last season.
Ribery's job is mainly to assist Glory, help Glory attract the opponent's defensive firepower, and give Glory a chance, because Ribery also has a good ability to assist teammates.
Once Glory is limited by the opponent or cannot play due to some factors, then Frank Ribery will take over Glory and become the team's offensive core, leading the team to continue to move forward.
Because Ribery and Glory have some similarities in their playing styles, when switching cores, the Bayern Munich team will not go through too much run-in period, and they will quickly adapt to the new core, which helps to keep the team's results stable.
After the tactics are worked out, all that remains is training.
But this season's preparation is no longer as smooth as the previous three seasons......
From the very beginning, Magath's insistence on devilish training was met with resistance from the players.
In the previous three years, the players were willing to put up with Magath's devilish training because they had allowed Werder Bremen to steal the league title for two consecutive seasons, which was a big blow to them and a huge pressure at the same time.
This pressure forces them to be willing to take any training as long as they can take back the honor that belongs to them.
When Glory returned to Bayern Munich from his loan spell, the team won the league title. However, there is also a new demand for the team, which is to make a breakthrough in the Champions League - the team's performance in the Champions League in previous seasons was so poor that they did not even qualify for the group stage.
In order to be able to do well in the Champions League, they are willing to endure Magath's training despite their complaints.
But now, now that the Champions League is in hand, why do we have to train at such intensity?
We are players, we are flesh and blood, we are tired and tired and we are injured, we are not machines, we can't endure that intensity of training forever.
There was no honor before, and it was natural to work hard for honor.
Now that the honor is in hand and the fame is achieved, why continue to do this?
To put it bluntly, the players can't find the meaning and reason to continue to work so hard.
So they don't want to treat their daily training sessions as hell anymore.
The conflict between the player and the manager ended up with Hoeness.
As Magath has previously known, Bayern Munich will always be on the side of the players when there is a conflict between the player and the manager.
This time was no exception.
In the end, Hoeness asked Magath to reduce the intensity of training and stop training players like they were injured, and the club not only had to pay them wages as usual, but also treat them, which was too cost-effective.
And now that the Champions League title is in hand, there is really no way to drive the players to work hard.
Magath couldn't reach his thighs with his arms and had to compromise.
But he already felt that this sign was not quite right.
※※※
One of the most straightforward examples of Magath's compromise was the cancellation of the annual summer camp for weight-bearing hill climbing.
The players no longer have to carry heavy baggage to climb Mount Wolberg outside the training ground.
That's good news for the whole team.
But there is one person who insists on doing the same as in previous years......
Magath looked at the glory in front of him: "I won't climb the mountain this year, Rong." ”
"I've heard, coach. It's the team that doesn't board, but I want to go alone. Rongguang nodded and said calmly.
Magath naturally knew what the attitude of Glory Training was, so he was not very surprised by his request, but he still shook his head: "This is your freedom, but I still hope you don't go, especially since you came to me to borrow that vest with lead bars...... You're not like them, they're not training hard enough, and you're training too hard. I'm not afraid of them getting hurt, but I'm afraid of you getting hurt. ”
Rongguang smiled and shook his head: "How is it possible?" It's just a hill to climb. I'm not going to get hurt, coach. ”
Looking at Glory's appearance, Magath was silent for a long time before sighing, and then nodded and agreed to Glory's request: "Okay, you go to Coach Genk to ask for it." Just say that I agreed, and he will give it to you. ”
After Rong Guang thanked Magath, he went straight to assistant coach Genk.
When Henk heard that Rongguang actually came to him to borrow a vest and then do mountaineering training, he was surprised: "The team doesn't practice this anymore, Rong......"
He was afraid that Rongguang would not know the news, so he repeated it specifically.
Rongguang nodded: "I know, coach. But Coach Magath asked me to come and he agreed. I just want to practice on my own. ”
Genk shook his head and sighed, "If the whole team is like you, how much more worry should we coaches...... Alas! ”
Rongguang knew what the assistant coach was sighing.
He has also heard discussions about Magath within the team, and even if he doesn't care about these things, he will always hear them.
So he knows the attitude towards Magath within the team.
He is actually quite helpless about this kind of thing, he thinks there is nothing wrong with the manager doing this, although we won the Champions League, but don't you want to defend the title?
Someone thinks there are more champions?
Anyway, I don't like it.
But he also knows that not everyone can be like himself, so he can't hold others to his own standards.
So...... Just mind your own business.
Glory went out in a vest with lead bars on it.
At the gate of the training base, he met Ribery, who had returned from outside.
Magath gave the team a day off, a day off, nothing to do, rest, free time, the players can go wherever they want, but they have to come back the same day. This is also a compromise made by Magath after that conflict.
"Are you going out too, Rong? But why do you have to wear a training vest when you go out to play...... Uh...... "Ribery realized that the training vest on Glory was not the same as their regular training vest, with a lot more pockets and a stronger look.
"I'm going to climb the mountain, Frank." Glory said to Ribery.
"Uh, what's in your vest?" Ribery asked, pointing to the bulging pockets of glory.
"Oh, nothing, just some lead." Glory said lightly, then he waved goodbye to Ribery and began to run from the training base towards the bottom of the mountain.
Ribery opened his mouth wide and looked at the back of the glory gone.
Before he came to Bayern Munich, he had seen reports in the media about Glory training hard.
After coming to Bayern Munich, I also heard a lot of rumors about the Glory training very hard in the casual chat with my teammates, which can be called "training machine qì".
He'd also seen how Glory trained.
But today he was still shocked by the madness of glory - in the middle of the day, in a training vest full of lead bars, and went to Mount Wauberg?
Although he had never climbed the mountain before, he had heard from his new teammates about the difficulty of climbing it.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have an unbearable look on their faces when they mentioned it.
He was glad that when he came, Magath reduced the intensity and difficulty of his training, so he didn't want to go to hell.
But now, this devil's hell special training that everyone is afraid of avoiding, Glory has taken the initiative to practice......
Ribery has only seen the glorious perverted Cheng dù today.
It's no wonder that some people think that Glory is a monster, or a machine from the future......
How can a normal person be so fond of masochism?
He now felt that it was good that he did not compete with Glory, otherwise, with his slightly lazy character, he would definitely not be able to compete with such a training maniac - if he were the head coach, he would like him more than himself......
※※※
Although it was noon, it was not as hot as I imagined after running into the mountains. Because of the dense vegetation and dense woods, the temperature in the mountains is generally two or three degrees lower than outside.
It's not too hot, but Glory is still sweating.
After all, he was exercising with weights.
His special training for mountaineering is not to walk up the mountain, but to really run up the mountain.
I ran the whole time, but I used a slower jog where it was not easy to run, and a faster speed where the road was flat.
This amount of exercise is very large.
This is not the first time Glory has climbed Mount Wauberg.
He spent two seasons at Bayern Munich, and this is the third time he has participated in a training camp here.
In the first two training camps, he climbed the Wohlberg four times. It was featured twice in the first season and twice in the second season.
I should be familiar with this mountain, so I can climb it at a relatively fast speed.
The lead vest on the body is really heavy, and it will appear heavier as the body is consumed.
But Rongguang didn't have the slightest idea of giving up, he didn't even look back at the road he had walked, and rarely looked up to admire the scenery on the mountain.
He just looked down at the road, noticing the unevenness and undulation under his feet.
The hiking route chosen by Rongguang is not the kind of road that tourists take, but a mountain path, and even some places cannot be regarded as roads, and you can only climb it with your hands and feet.
So on this road, apart from the chirping of birds and the rustle of the wind through the woods, there was only the sound of glorious breathing, which was a little heavy, but quite even.
When Rongguang climbed to the top of the mountain, he stood on the top of the mountain, and this was the first time he looked down the mountain, and the good visibility allowed him to see the training base clearly.
He thought of today's Magath and assistant coach Genk said that the expression xiàn out of love and worry.
He was also a little worried.
When there is slackness in the team, can this result still be guaranteed?
He now finds that when he was at Werder Bremen, he wanted to return to Bayern Munich because he could win more championships at Bayern Munich.
But does a person only need to win a championship with enough weight in this life?
What would Bayern Munich do if they lost the motivation to keep going?
He stared at the training ground below the mountain.
