The same goes for saving a team.
If Bayern Munich are to return to the top of the Bundesliga this season, they must first understand why the team suffered such a humiliating defeat last season.
Fourth in the league, this is Bayern Munich's worst result in the last decade.
The last time was in the 94-95 season, and the league ranked sixth, but at that time, German football was in a booming period, and the competition in the Bundesliga was also very fierce, and Bayern Munich did not have much of a lead.
But the situation is different now.
Since the collapse of the Kirsch Group at the beginning of the century, many Bundesliga teams have suffered a business crisis, and even Dortmund, which is even stronger, almost went bankrupt, and later Bayern Munich lent them money to tide over the difficulties.
In this case, fourth in the league and out of Champions League qualification, this report card is definitely worse than the 9495 season.
Gao Han's diagnosis of this is four words, and his strength is not good.
Needless to say in last season's Champions League, Bayern Munich was powerless to fight back against Inter Milan in the group stage, and within the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich's situation was also not ideal.
"In last season's league results, we scored 37 points at home, scored 29 goals and conceded 14 goals, and finished third in the Bundesliga, behind Schalke Zero and Stuttgart, but on the road we only got 23 points, scored and conceded 26 goals, and finished seventh in the Bundesliga. β
"A lot of media analysis thinks it's a problem that the team has shown after losing Ballack, but I don't think so, because Ballack is really important, but we brought in Van Bommel and he was also very good. β
Everyone in the room nodded their heads in unison, and they thought the same.
"In terms of home and away, 34 rounds of league games, 55 goals have been scored, ranking third in the Bundesliga, behind Stuttgart and Werder Bremen, especially Werder Bremen, with 76 goals, with the strongest attacking firepower in the Bundesliga, and the most popular team voted by German fans last season. β
Gao Han's words convinced many people present.
Bild's selection is still very convincing, and it is not difficult to see that German fans still like to see attacking football.
"Our real problem is in defence, conceding 40 goals and finishing seventh in the Bundesliga, which is definitely not the defensive performance that a team should have in the championship, or we should say that we have conceded 40 goals like Werder Bremen in the league, but the goals conceded are based on super attacking firepower. β
'So, obviously, we didn't have a good result last season, the problem was all aspects, we had problems from the attack up front, the organisation in midfield, to the defense at the back. β
Gao Han's judgment was not opposed by anyone, because Bayern Munich itself knew it very well.
Kahn is already dying, Sauer and Deisler have retired, Sagnol went to Juventus during the winter break, and Salihamidzic has also decided not to renew his contract with the team and went to Juventus.
How many players in the current Bayern Munich team can really be counted in European football?
Central defender Lucio, full-back Lahm, midfielders Van Bommel and Hargreaves, forward Podolski, anything more?
At the back, Van Bitten's performance has not been reassuring, he and Lucio are both brave and lack of stability, and Demichelis is a versatile player, but he is also more than brave and not stable enough.
As for the full-backs, both Leale and Glitz have both been Academy graduates for Bayern Munich, but neither have shown reassuring quality, especially since Sagnol's departure, where defending on the right has always been a problem.
There are a lot of problems at the back and the midfield is not much better.
With the exception of Van Bommel van Bommel, Hargreaves is the most eye-catching player, but he is also clamoring to go to Manchester United, and Schweinsteiger has been in the first team for many years but has never been satisfactory, so what about the rest?
Karimi Otter dos Santos?
The situation in the forward line is relatively good, but it is also very problematic.
This past season, Roy Mackay was the team's top scorer, scoring 16 goals in 33 games, and was very efficient, ranking second in the Bundesliga's scorer list, but he is 32 years old and his form has dropped significantly.
He was followed by Pizarro with eight goals, followed by Van Bommel with six goals, and Salihamidzic, Schweinsteiger and Podolski with four.
In terms of goal distribution, Bayern Munich's attack relies heavily on Roy Mackay, whether it is Pizarro or Santa Cruz, or homegrown teenager Podolski, neither of which can replace Roy Mackay's role in the team.
"As far as I know, Roy Mackay will be leaving this summer. Gao Han looked at everyone.
Rummenigge nodded: "Yes, he is thirty-two years old, and we have not been able to agree on a contract extension, of course, if you feel the need, then we can keep him." β
"There's no need. Gao Han waved his hand, he came to help Bayern Munich complete his metabolism and get out of the current predicament, what is the use of leaving Roy Mackay?
"We've been in contact with Werder Bremen's Klose and Fiorentina's Luca Toney and we both believe that these two players can greatly improve our team's attacking power. β
Both of these transfers have been reported in the media, and they are both more sought-after strikers in European football.
"Luca Toney doesn't need it, Klose I like it, talk to Werder Bremen. β
In Hoeness's absence, Rummenigge asked Nelinger to record Gao Han's request.
"I've seen the youth team before and I wanted to bring Thomas MΓΌller to the first team. β
"Thomas Muller?" Rummenigge was a little surprised, and seemed to be familiar with the player, but it was a little surprising that Gao Han would want to take this player.
In Bayern Munich, with the surname Muller, it is difficult not to be familiar, not to mention, Thomas Muller is indeed the most promising young player in the current Bayern Munich academy.
"I know, he's only eighteen, but I like this kid. Gao Han said with a smile.
But the crowd was obviously happier than he was.
Everyone knows how sharp Gao Han's eye is, but none of the players he fancies can run away, all of them have become talents, and the worst ones are also first-line stars in Europe.
Although everyone was optimistic about Thomas Muller before, they were still quite worried, worried that he would not be able to play in the end, and now Gao Han can appoint him, which is not only Thomas Muller's creation, but also Bayern Munich's luck.
"Pizarro and Santa Cruz are gone, and in addition to Podolski and Klose, to promote Thomas Muller to the first team, I have to bring in another strong scorer. β
Nelinger hurriedly recorded Gao Han's words, and they had to talk to Gao Han and Hoeness again.
"In midfield, Dos Santos and Karimi are also leaving, and if Hargreaves wants to go to Manchester United, then let him go and sell for a good price. β
After a slight pause, Gao Han continued: "I'm going to bring in two midfielders, and I see that you have submitted a list of Tony Kroos who has transferred from Rostock, and I'm going to promote him to the first team. β
Bayern Munich signed Toni Kroos back in '06, but for the player's own reasons, he stayed in Rostock for a season until this summer.
'At the back, I'm going to bring in a left-back, Lahm going back to the right, Ismael and other players are being sold, but Glitz and Lyell are staying, and I'm going to bring in two more youngsters from the youth team, Hummels and Bad Stuber, and I'm also thinking about bringing in a versatile player. β
Hummels is the best centre-back in Bayern Munich's academy, has been selected for the national youth team, and was in the first team last season, playing only one or two games, but now Gao Han means to promote him directly to the first team.
'In terms of goalkeepers, Kahn is a veteran and captain of the team, so he definitely wants to stay, but Rensing and Dreyer can be sold, and I want to bring in Neuer from Schalke 04. β
"Neuer?" there was an uproar in the conference room.
It's not that the player is unfamiliar, on the contrary, they are all familiar with Neuer, because he is known as the best of Germany's new generation of goalkeepers along with Rensing and Adler, among whom Adler has been snatched away by Manchester United.
What really uproared them was that Gao Han wanted to sell Lensing, but he wanted to dig up Neuer.
You must know that in the German national youth team, Rensing is the absolute main force, overshadowing Neuer and Adler, the latter two have always been his long-term substitutes, and their performance is not as brilliant as Rensing, and the football world is generally optimistic about Rensing.
But now, Gao Han is doing this, isn't that abandoning the basics, picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons?
If it spreads, won't it be laughed off by media reporters?
Gao Han noticed the looks of everyone, and said with a slight smile: "The position of goalkeeper is very crucial, and the psychological quality of the players is very demanding, but I have watched some games of Rensing in the club and the national team, and I think his psychological quality is far inferior to Neuer." β
"Now that Kahn is still in the team, Rensing is not under so much pressure and has old-timers with him, but once Kahn retires, I doubt that Rensing will be able to withstand the responsibility of taking charge of the Bayern Munich goal. β
As soon as Gao Han explained this, everyone immediately understood.
Psychological stress test, this is what many clubs do, Bayern Munich is no exception, Rensing is really not strong in terms of psychological quality, which is reflected in his performance in many games, and a discerning person will know it at a glance.
But in the past few years, Bayern Munich has always cultivated Rensing as Kahn's successor, invested considerable manpower and material resources, and the entire Bundesliga is generally optimistic about Rensing, and now they want to sell him?
Even if you really want to bring in Neuer, there is no need to sell Lensing, right?
There was a sudden silence in the locker room, obviously with some reservations about Gao Han's thoughts.
Gao Han also knew in his heart, "Rensing is twenty-three years old, for a goalkeeper, this is not too old, he does have his own problems, he can't meet my requirements, if he stays in Bayern Munich, he will only become the team's third, or even fourth goalkeeper, there will be no chance at all." β
"Instead of sitting on our bench and wasting time, why don't we let him move away and go to the middle and lower teams while he is still young, maybe he will grow and mature?"
Only then did everyone understand Gao Han's intentions.
Selling is not ruthless, nor is it abandoned, but for the future of the player.
Could it be that in European football, there are fewer cases of talented stars sitting on the bench, wasting time in vain, and finally turning into injuries to Zhongyong?
Beckenbauer looked at Rummenigge, and both nodded slightly.
"Okay, I support Gao Han's opinion, sell!" Beckenbauer said on the spot.
"I agree, I sold!" agrees Rummenigge.
The two bigwigs supported at the same time, so this matter was decided.
