On the evening of March 10, at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of the resignation turmoil two weeks ago, this game attracted the attention of fans around the world from the beginning.

Following the sacking of Rijkaard, Chelsea's original acting head coach Wilkins also left suddenly, leaving the Blues without a manager, and eventually had to promote a manager from the youth team to take over as interim manager.

Luckily, the Blues did not have a strong opponent in the next two rounds, and both won by a narrow goal.

But this away challenge to Bayern Munich is a real test.

And Gao Han does not seem to intend to save face for Chelsea this time, with a 3-0 win away from home and an early promotion already confirmed, the Bundesliga giants launched an onslaught on Chelsea from the first minute.

Bayern Munich's ferocious attack frustrated Chelsea, and Ashley Cole was forced off in the 12th minute when he accidentally fell and sprained his leg while defending Robben.

The previous change of manager, coupled with the loss of the big player at the beginning of the game, Chelsea could not resist in front of the wolf-like Bayern Munich, and from the 27th minute, the goal fell again and again.

It was Sergio Aguero who received an assist from a team-mate to open the scoring for Chelsea, and then Franck François Francois Robben set up a goal to extend the lead to a 2-0 draw.

In the second half, Bayern Munich suddenly launched a furious attack, Modric assisted Ribery to score another goal, expanding the score to 3-0, and in the 65th minute, it was Ribery's assist that allowed Robben to score twice.

Bayern Munich's offensive can be described as overwhelming, Chelsea can't resist at all, and even after leading 4-0, Gao Han replaced three substitutes in one go, and the situation on the field is still one-sided.

It is clear that the Blues have suffered a demoralisation after the previous turmoil.

Gao Han stood on the sidelines, silently watching the game.

He didn't know if Abramovich was watching the game, but he just wanted to use it to show the Russians that professional football is not about having money to dominate everything.

At the very least, even if he has Chelsea, he can't expect to qualify for this season's Champions League.

Even, as long as he is in the cold, he will definitely do his best to snipe them Chelsea.

He said that he had to do it for the sake of Rijkaard, or for the sake of his old vendetta.

"Actually, this team is not as weak as it seems. Thomas Tuchel said with a sigh.

If you look at the lineup and the cards, Chelsea are actually not weak.

Abramovich's big investment over the past few years has actually been worthwhile.

But the problem now is not the squad and the quality, but the management.

Anyone who knows the Premier League knows that the problem Chelsea is facing now is the need to renew the team and inject new vitality into the team, and Abramovich poached Rijkaard in order to restore Chelsea's style of play from the strength of the Mourinho era to a more advanced style of passing-and-control play, and move closer to the mainstream style of play in Europe.

It should be said that this direction is correct.

But the question is, are Chelsea management really going in that direction?

What is it to have to be renewed, to make a difference in the Champions League and the league, to face the rivals on the pitch and to face the pressure from the management, to put pressure at every turn, to give targets at every turn?

Okay now, Rijkaard is out of class, and it's like this again, and Chelsea is still a famous coach willing to take over?

But all famous coaches often cherish their feathers, and no one will easily go to the troubled waters of Chelsea.

"Sometimes, the reason why fans evaluate a manager is very simple, look at the results to see the championship, good results, more championships, then it must be successful, it must be the best. ”

Thomas Tuchel couldn't help but nod his head in agreement when he heard Gao Han's words.

"But sometimes, the fans themselves are very conflicted, the same manager, he played a mess in this team, but in another team, but suddenly in the other team, is it because his strength has improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time? Or did he not do his best in the previous team at all?"

"There may even be a very interesting scene, a manager at the beginning of the unsatisfactory results, much criticism, even hated to fire him on the spot, but gradually, as the season progresses, as his results get better and better, all doubts and doubts are gone. ”

The situation mentioned by Gao Han is very common, even for fans of many big teams.

"More often than not, if a team wants to produce results, it often does not depend on the level of the manager's coaching ability, or even not only on the overall strength of the players, but more importantly, the team can straighten out the relationship, unify the goal, and work together, which can be invincible. ”

Gao Han does not mean that the ability of the head coach and the strength of the players are not important, but that he feels that whether the team is united or not is far more important than these two.

And this obviously includes the management of the club.

It's like the Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid back then, were the players not strong enough, and the head coach was not good enough? But in the end, what was the team's performance?

And Inter Milan in the early years, Moratti invested so much money and introduced so many stars, is his strength not strong?

Famous coaches such as Lippi and Cooper, but their coaching ability is not excellent?

But in many cases, why is it always the head coach who bears the consequences of poor results?

The answer is simple, there is only one, because the cost of changing the coach is the lowest.

A lot of people forget the harsh reality that clubs in European football are like a business, and as a business, costs must be prioritized before making any decision.

Relatively speaking, the position of the management is often the most stable, and the replacement of players is a trigger to move the whole body, only one is useless, to change a batch, the cost is undoubtedly too high, only the replacement of the head coach is the lowest cost, the best effect.

Gao Han still clearly remembers that not long after his debut, Ferguson told him that he must control the dressing room and must not let the players shake the authority of the head coach, otherwise, the head coach will die a miserable death.

Gao Han has always kept these words in his heart.

Many times, a team, from the management to the coaching staff to the players, is not of the same mind, everyone has their own interests, and even in the dressing room, the interests of the players and the players are completely different.

In the case of a conflict between the management and the player, the club will often make the decision to dismiss the head coach due to cost considerations, so if a manager does not control the dressing room, it is basically impossible to succeed and may even lose badly.

'At the end of the day, we're the real underdogs, but if no one wants to speak up even if Chelsea do something like Rijkaard, then what's the status of the future?'

When Thomas Tuchel heard Gao Han's words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Gao Han with a look of high mountain contemplation.

He suddenly remembered that Gao Han was the number one top coach among the current head coaches.

In the past few days, many people have suspected that Gao Han will speak up for Rijkaard because of old feuds, and some people think that he is because of his friendship with Rijkaard, but now, Tuchel understands.

Perhaps, there are two reasons for both, but Gao Han will fight Chelsea face to face, and because he is the number one manager in world football, he needs to speak for the interests of the entire professional coaching profession and fight for the interests of coaches.

Thinking about this layer, in Tuchel's mind, Gao Han's image suddenly became a little taller.

A 4-0 win at home and a 7-0 aggregate win over Chelsea over two legs gave Bayern Munich a place to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

With both games to beat their opponents, the Bundesliga giants have been unanimously recognized by fans all over Europe.

The other seven matchups in the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League have also ended.

The team with the most goals is undoubtedly the match between Atletico Madrid and Sporting Lisbon.

Heynckes' side beat their opponents 5-0 on the road, and then beat Sporting Lisbon 7-1 after returning to the Calderón Stadium to win the Portuguese Super League with an aggregate score of 12-1 over two legs.

The Sheets were able to play such a crazy goalscoring momentum that the whole of Europe was in the spotlight, and Heynckes' side became another favourite in this season's Champions League.

The maturation of players such as David Silva, Sergio Ramos and Keylor Navas has gradually provoked the backbone of the Sheets, while Gao Han has once again been praised by the Spanish media and fans.

Everyone knows that this group of young talents is a treasure trove left by Gao Han back then.

Another La Liga team, Barcelona, returned to the Camp Nou after a 1-1 draw away to Lyon in the first leg, beating Lyon 6-3 on aggregate and successfully advancing to the quarter-finals.

Although it stopped in the round of 16, Lyon's performance has won a lot of recognition, especially the striker Benzema, who is hailed as the most anticipated young talent in Ligue 1 in the next few years.

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona both made it through, but the other team, Real Madrid, was not so lucky.

After the Galaxy Battleship experienced the presidential turmoil, the team was somewhat affected, coupled with the past few years of unsatisfactory European results, this time unlucky to meet cup expert Benitez's Liverpool, is also powerless.

They lost 1-0 in the first leg at Camp Nou and went to Anfield in the second leg to see how they lost 4-0 and ended up in the round of 16 again with a 0-5 defeat.

This defeat also further intensified the call of Real Madrid fans for Florentino, after experiencing Calderon and Mijatovic's toss, many Real Madrid fans have realized Florentino's ability, coupled with the media momentum, making Florentino stage the return of the king, as if it was already ironclad.

In the remaining games, Manchester United beat Juventus 1-0 away in the first leg and 2-0 at home to the Bianconeri in the second leg to advance 3-0 on aggregate.
