Chapter 727 - Born at the wrong time
Ga ~ Ga ~ Ga ~ Heavy gasps were heard in Bayern Munich's dressing room.
Being able to let the players of Bayern Munich, who have always been very physical, fall into this almost suffocating state of fatigue, it can be seen that Tottenham Hotspur brought huge pressure to Bayern Munich in this game, especially in the second half of the first half of the game, after Tottenham Hotspur controlled the dominance, Bayern Munich had to be forced to press.
The result of this is that the physical consumption of the players is too great.
Heynckes also had a headache and was troubled by this, but there was nothing he could do about it, because it was impossible for him to get all the players back to all their fitness in just fifteen minutes.
Many people say that the Bundesliga is the most advocating whole, and it is also the league with the best physical fitness, because the Bundesliga has always advocated wholeness, players run a lot, and the game investment is very high, so it is difficult to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga if you are not physically fit.
Even Robben, who was known as a physically challenged household in Real Madrid, has improved his physical fitness a lot after joining Bayern Munich, and Bayern Munich invited Heynckes to coach, obviously to change some of the shortcomings left over from the previous Van Gaal era.
A person has lived to the age of sixty-seven, has passed the knowledge of the destiny of heaven, and has also passed the ear shun, close to the age of antiquity, Heynckes also knows himself very clearly, understands himself, and he knows very well what his ability is.
Don't think it's easy, it's very hard, because the vast majority of losers simply can't see themselves clearly.
Beckenbauer once said that the job of a head coach is like the work of a human resources director, but different people can do different things, for example, some people are good at creating reasonable and orderly rules and regulations for a company, but it is difficult for him to manage his relationship with his colleagues and superiors.
Some people are not good at creating rules, but they are very good at dealing with all kinds of relationships.
Both of these are indispensable and must-have for a company that wants to make a difference.
Van Gaal is an outstanding master tactician, an absolute master, the coaching field has a very high evaluation of him, many people believe that the Dutch-born head coach's tactical system is the best, and it is also the least worry-free, just like Van Gaal and Ye Qiu, they are both models of Dutch-born managers.
But in fact, there is another lesser-known specialty of the Dutch-born manager, and that is training!
All Dutch managers are very good at training, and one of the typical characteristics of their team is that the level of training is quite high, because the Netherlands is the most important football country in the world and has the highest percentage of coaches.
Those who say Louis van Gaal is a loser at Barcelona and Bayern Munich tend to do so from a realistic point of view, and they think that Van Gaal is out of class and has not done well, so he has failed.
But from a football point of view, Van Gaal has not only succeeded, but very, very successful!
It's like Barcelona, don't look at Barcelona in the hands of Rijkaard and Pep Guardiola, and swept the Europa, but the core foundation of these two teams is inherited from Van Gaal, and even many of Rijkaard's ideas and concepts are inherited from Van Gaal.
In other words, without Van Gaal's second palace, Barcelona would not have been able to achieve the achievements of the following years, and even the entire training level and youth team of Ajax, many of which were left over from the Van Gaal period.
The same goes for Bayern Munich.
When Louis van Gaal arrived in the Bundesliga, he did something that surprised everyone, and that was that he allowed Bayern Munich to chase possession like Barcelona, and not only that, but he could make the team more efficient than Barcelona in terms of pressing and quick counter-attacks, similar to Tottenham Hotspur.
In other words, what Van Gaal did in the Bundesliga is what Ye Qiu did in the Premier League.
Many people are very surprised by Ye Qiu's coaching, for example, he can make Tottenham Hotspur a few rough-looking players, such as Vidal, Kyle? Walker, Sandro, Phil? Jones and so on, so that they can play the kind of one-foot pass of more than ten meters in a row on the playing field, and they are very fluid and skillful, and never drag mud and water.
Some people would think it's because the players have improved their skills, yes, but that's just the surface, deep down at the core, they're doing some very high level of similar passing and receiving training and games every day.
Matches are always the result of training and explosions, and you can't play at a high level without a high level of training.
Bayern Munich in the Heathfield period was a late striker, even if Bayern Munich at that time seemed strong, but as the mainstream trend of European football has become more and more obvious in recent years, Bayern Munich's leadership has realized that changes must be made, because the initiative cannot be controlled in the hands of the opponent, which is suicidal.
Many people may think that this is simple, but you know, this is an epoch-making change for any team, do you think such a change will be simple?
The transition from a latecomer to a preemptive strike involves many, many aspects in itself.
Bayern Munich started from Klinsmann, is subconsciously looking for this change in playing style, and finally created an extremely solid foundation during the Van Gaal period, but Van Gaal's personality is too extreme, and the relationship with the players is not harmonious enough, it is difficult to be flexible, so there is a big contradiction between him and the players.
As Ye Qiu said, everything is a process of compromise, and when this contradiction accumulates to a certain extent, and the Bayern Munich management feels that the contradiction has seriously hindered the development of Bayern Munich, Van Gaal will naturally step down.
Heynckes is well aware of his catty and can do well defensively, but there are not many ways he can give in attack, and even in terms of overall tactical play, he basically continues some of the ideas of Van Gaal, and the biggest change he brings to Bayern Munich is in the dressing room control and player management.
In fact, Bayern Munich today is a step backward from the original Van Gaal era, especially in the possession and passing system.
I still remember that Beckenbauer once focused on commenting on three teams, Van Gaal's Bayern Munich, Ye Qiu's Tottenham Hotspur and Pep Guardiola's Barcelona.
It's a stubborn defense, not a crazy rush, for the simple reason that they are not afraid of crazy pressing.
Tottenham's response to full-time pressing has always been clear, and that is to stretch the formation as far as possible.
Many people will think that this is normal, and you must be pulled away when people force you to grab, but you must know that although you can avoid pressing and weaken the threat caused by pressing after opening the formation, the problem that comes with it is that the distance between players is larger, and the requirements for passing are higher, because now professional players are most sure that the accurate passing distance is ten meters, and some are even less than ten meters.
But Tottenham Hotspur faced Napoli, AC Milan, and Barcelona, and they dared to stretch the distance to 15 meters or more, and how remarkable is it to be able to maintain such an accurate and fast pass at such a distance, and such a high pass success rate?
This is one of the core elements that the outside world praises Ye Qiu the most.
Look at the exhaustion of Bayern Munich players now, they just use pressing to deal with Tottenham Hotspur, but the north London team directly pulls the formation away, using their accurate and fast passes to mobilize your pressing, to see if you run fast, or they pass fast, you consume physical energy, and they consume foot power, can you compare?
Another praise for Ye Qiu in the field of professional coaching lies in his analysis and understanding of the team's tactics.
Tottenham Hotspur's defense is a typical receiving, front and back pinching, left and right pinching, all receiving, but their offense is to release, actively leading the two wing attacks, a wide range of diagonal passes and horizontal passes, through a reasonable and orderly run without the ball to form a complex passing and receiving system, so that the team can take the lead in the game and occupy an advantage.
If you take a closer look at the Tottenham Hotspur game, you will see that they are very fast-paced, the passing and receiving are very smooth, the attack is very sharp, very aggressive and impactful, making the whole scene very good-looking, pleasing to the eye, and loved by the fans.
But what allowed Tottenham to do this was their ability to run, they were the team with the highest average distance per game in Europe, but they were able to do so because of their excellent passing and receiving and the fact that everyone in the team was running and moving, the overall running and moving of the team, allowing the players to run more at a constant pace during the game, rather than a lot of back-and-forth sprints.
The prime example is Ramsey and Vidal, two players who started the season often vomiting but now everyone is seeing them seldom seem to be seen throwing up, not because their distance has dropped, but because they have run smarter and have learned to move a lot of constant speed with the team, rather than sprinting back and forth.
Another point is that Tottenham Hotspur's passing distance is very long, with an accuracy of more than 15 meters, but they are not obsessed with this kind of long-distance passing, they are more according to the needs of the field, according to the needs of the game, short passes, medium distance passes and long passes are randomly combined, and even whether the formation is to be closed or released, they are also adjusted according to the needs of the game.
This is also where Ye Qiu is smarter than Van Gaal, Van Gaal's blind pursuit of speed, tactical width and open attack has affected the team's results in the absence of suitable players.
Think about it, when you pull the formation apart and there are too many passing and receiving errors, what is the cost?
The more powerful the opponent counter-attacks, the more opportunities to break through your goal, and when the danger of the back line increases, the organization and attack of the midfield will naturally fail, which is a kind of chain effect.
Modern football is no longer clear about the forward, midfielder and defender, because they are one, and if there is a problem in any link, it will affect the overall situation.
After Heynckes took over Bayern Munich, he was very aware of his problems, he did not have Van Gaal's top training level, nor did he have Van Gaal's offensive system organization ability, so he could only use some of Van Gaal's more basic things, and at the same time add some of his own things, such as more aggressive, more pressing bias towards defensive play.
In Ye Qiu's previous life, Bayern Munich's two-legged semi-final game against Barcelona was actually won by defense, and the game against Arsenal was also unconvincing, at best, it was Juventus's two-legged attack with its own characteristics, which was also the introduction of Mandzukic and Javier in the summer? Martinez after the change.
And in terms of possession, he was luckier than Louis van Gaal, and the Dutchman bet on Toney? Klos, but the youngster finally got his senses, but Van Gaal is gone, so Heynckes continues to rely on Toney? Klos and Schweinsteiger have a double possession of the ball, but what makes him worse than Van Gaal is that his team is more mechanical, has fewer rotations, is less fluid, and is not able to play with tactical width in order to take care of the defence, because the passing speed is slower and the transfer is less wide.
When encountering a weak team, Heynckes' team can control the ball slowly, look for opportunities slowly, slowly fall to the ground, and then use the strength of the players to attack, but when it comes to the Champions League, this set is obviously not playable.
Especially against a team like Tottenham Hotspur with super offensive ability and a particularly balanced attack and defense, it is simply powerless, because when you are slow, the opponent's defense will get plenty of time to switch, and you lack a wide range of transfers, the opponent can easily cut off your left, center, right and front, middle and back three lines of connection with each other.
In the simplest terms, Robben Neche rarely goes to Thomas? Muller, Thomas? Muller lacked the ability to cut inside on the wing, the link between the two wings was broken, there was rarely a wide range of moves between the two full-backs, and Bayern Munich did not have a diagonal passer like Tottenham Hotspur's Andrea Pirlo.
In the past, Van Bommel was in charge during the Van Gaal period, and Schweinsteiger played as a deputy, and they combined well in this regard, but after Van Bommel left, whether it was Schweinsteiger or Tony? Cross, not at all.
At this moment, standing in the dressing room of the Allianz Arena, Heynckes looked at this group of panting players, he didn't know what countermeasures to give to turn the situation around, and he really had a sense of helplessness at this moment.
Perhaps, all teams that have met Tottenham Hotspur will have such a sense of frustration.
Because, this team is terrible!
…………
…………
Compared with Heynckes who didn't know how to deal with Tottenham Hotspur's attack in a short period of time, Ye Qiu's adjustments at halftime were very clear and clear, because he got the report of the analysis team as soon as the first half ended, which listed a lot of problems and analyses of the enemy and us in the first half.
Combined with his own views and understanding of the game, as well as the team's tactical ideas, Ye Qiu made a very clear analysis of the players at halftime.
"Bayern Munich need to have the ball, so they're going to press and press desperately when we're in possession, and we're just going to take advantage of that and pull them away!"
The players all nodded in unison, and the attack of the team's goal in the first half actually pulled Bayern Munich away, and then used the team's large-scale precision transfer to pull their defense and create offensive opportunities.
"Another point, when we lose possession of the ball, we can follow the ball appropriately, but we must be fast, put into the counter-robbery at the first time, and keep up with the surroundings, but at the same time, we must pay attention to the large-scale transfer of Bayern Munich, we want to pull Bayern away, not we want Bayern to pull away!"
Ye Qiu's last sentence made the players laugh, in fact, when it came to the game, everyone found out that Bayern Munich was not as strong as they imagined, and they also had a lot of problems, but they had an advantage, that is, the defense was very active and engaged.
Sometimes Ye Qiu thinks that in Heynckes' hands, Bayern Munich's cards are also quite good, and in terms of team lineup and configuration, it is definitely enough to make a difference in Europe, but the reason why Bayern Munich is in such an embarrassing situation now is because of Van Gaal.
Van Gaal's tactical concept is very different from Heynckes, but everyone knows that Van Gaal represents the trend of modern football tactical concepts and is the most advanced, so Bayern Munich finally let Van Gaal lay such a solid foundation, can Heynckes be scrapped in a blink of an eye?
Obviously, it can't, and if you look at the tactical innovation ability and training level, it is not for nothing that Germany surpasses Heynckes' head coach, but Heynckes is more experienced and has better understanding ability, and he is undoubtedly the most ideal to help Bayern Munich consolidate the system left by Van Gaal, and Bayern Munich's biggest problem is not in the team's tactics, nor in the strength of the players, but in the management of the team, which Heynckes is a master.
But in this way, Heynckes is in trouble, because he has to produce results, but at the same time, he has to understand the system and foundation left by Van Gaal, and he also has to develop on the basis of this system.
You must know that Van Gaal's things are more understandable and mastered by Ye Qiu, Rijkaard, and even Guardiola, because they are in the same vein, but it is difficult to let Heynckes come, so Heynckes is now in a situation where he has not eaten Van Gaal's system thoroughly enough, and can only force some of his own things into it, becoming a product of four dislikes.
And if you look at the experience of Ye Qiu in his previous life, Heynckes was a tragic failure this season, and it is also the embodiment of the conflict between him and Van Gaal, and in the next season, he undoubtedly has a bargaining chip, so he increased the weight of his own philosophy in Bayern's tactics, further weakened Van Gaal's traces, and combined well to bring success.
But this obviously conflicts with Bayern Munich's philosophy, because everyone knows that it is not easy to change from a late striker to a first strike, and Bayern Munich's group of high-level players who know the ball will want to go back to where they are?
Therefore, it is not surprising that Guardiola replaced Heynckes!
But in any case, Heynckes is a respectable and very capable manager, but sometimes, the head coach's fate is like this, and the so-called birth is like this.
So was Boas, and so was Heynckes! In terms of tactical innovation ability and training level, it is not without a head coach in Germany that surpasses Heynckes, but Heynckes is more experienced and has better understanding ability, and it is undoubtedly ideal for him to help Bayern Munich consolidate the system left by Van Gaal, and Bayern Munich's biggest problem is not in the team's tactics, nor in the strength of the players, but in the management of the team, which Heynckes is a master.
But in this way, Heynckes is in trouble, because he has to produce results, but at the same time, he has to understand the system and foundation left by Van Gaal, and he also has to develop on the basis of this system.
