Chapter 636: All Attack and All Defense
Van Bitten eventually moved to the Premier League, but instead of Everton and Fulham, who had been close to him, he went to Tottenham Hotspur under Juande Ramos. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After learning that Bayern Munich had given the green light to Van Bitten's transfer, Juande Ramos took the initiative to call Gao Han before the winter break to learn about Van Bitten's situation, and Gao Han also repeatedly said that Van Bitten is a very strong central defender.
After receiving the approval of Bayern Munich, Juan de Ramos flew to Munich to introduce Van Bitten's technical and tactical style of play at Tottenham Hotspur and his importance to the Belgian centre-back.
In last season's UEFA Cup, Juan de Ramos and his Sevilla side shone brightly, winning the praise of European footballers, even in many of the best matches in La Liga.
In the Premier League this season, Tottenham Hotspur had a bad start, and Dutch coach Martin Joel led the team to play ten rounds, with quite unsatisfactory results, one win, four draws and five losses, ranking third from the bottom of the Premier League.
With the aura of a UEFA Cup winner, Juan de Ramos has been in charge of the game and has played exactly 10 rounds so far, with five wins, two draws and three defeats, three of which are understandable losses.
The first defeat to Blackburn Rovers after taking over was a two-goal reversal after conceding a penalty at home, but a red card from Robbie Keane in the second half allowed Tottenham Hotspur to play for half an hour with one man less, and was finally reversed by the opponent.
However, the most regrettable game was the north London away to Arsenal, which lost 1-2.
However, under the leadership of Juan de Ramos, Tottenham Hotspur also won 4-0 against Wigan, 5-1 against Fulham, and 6-4 against Reading, winning the unanimous affirmation at White Hart Lane.
The results have risen, and the ranking has also risen, from the original eighteenth place to the twelfth place.
Before the winter break, Juan de Ramos wanted to bring in a quality centre-back to fill the holes in the backline.
There is no doubt that Van Bitten, who plays for Bayern Munich, is a pretty good candidate.
Because of this, Juan de Ramos is very sincere, and it is related to whether he will be able to stay at the end of the season.
In the end, Juande Ramos relied on sincerity and the planning of the players to convince Van Bitten.
On January 1, as soon as the winter break began, Tottenham Hotspur couldn't wait to announce that they would bring in centre-back Daniel van Bitten from Bayern Munich for £10 million, which is a slight increase from when Van Bitten joined from Hamburg a year ago, but Juan de Ramos is still worth it.
The sudden announcement of Van Bitten's departure took the entire German football world by surprise.
Although the Belgian central defender can't play the main team, he is also an important rotation player for the team.
In this regard, Gao Han did not explain much, and the Bayern Munich management also adopted silence, but Van Bitten expressed his gratitude to Gao Han at the press conference of joining Tottenham Hotspur, and reiterated that he took the initiative to ask to leave the team.
But for Bayern Munich, sending away a powerful central defender has undoubtedly weakened their own backline.
The day after Van Bitten's transfer, Bayern Munich general manager Hoeness held a press conference to officially announce the start of contract renewal negotiations with players such as Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Hummels, Lucio and Bad Stuber.
This once again caused a strong reaction in the German media.
Speaking at his press conference, Hoeness solemnly reiterated that these players are the future backbone of the club, and that the team will do everything in their power to keep them and build on them to build a competitive European team.
Head coach Gao Han also attended the press conference, and in an interview with the media after the event, he also expressed his support for the management's decision, "There is no doubt that in the past six months, their performance has been enough to win them a new contract, and I think this is the best New Year's gift for these players." ”
But some media revealed that Podolsky was not on the list of contract renewal negotiations.
Could it be that the German striker is about to leave?
However, Beckenbauer, Rummenigge, Hoeness and others spoke out in the media and communicated with Podolski, and finally succeeded in convincing Prince Cologne to stay at Bayern Munich.
As for the backline that sent away Van Bitten, Gao Han said that he would not bring in any more reinforcements.
'We have three great centre-backs – Lucio, Hummels and Demichelis – and two youngsters – Boateng and Bad Stuber – and I'm sure that's enough to make sure we can cope with the season. ”
For the second half of the league, Gao Han also said that he was full of expectations and set goals for himself.
'Yes, there was no doubt that there were a couple of players who were really good in the first half, Franck Franchi, Franck Ribery, Klose and Sergio Aguero, all impressive, but in the second half we will try to activate Robben. ”
Arjen Robben joined the team with residual injuries from his Chelsea days, which led to a quick slump after his early season highlights, and although he was still outstanding, he was far from what fans expected of him.
But after more than half a year of adjustment, as well as the recharge during the winter break, Gao Han believes that he will be even better in the second half of the journey.
"We have another important task in the second half of the season, which is to try different ways of playing. ”
Regarding what Gao Han said, media reporters also generally gave quite high expectations.
With Bayern Munich's current lineup and situation, what tricks can be played?
In early January, the team regrouped and headed for the resort town of Marbella in southern Spain.
On the first day of the team's preparation, Gao Han showed his plan to all the players.
…………
…………
In the dim light, everyone sitting in the conference room was watching the projector projection, an excerpt from Cruyff's time under the Barcelona Dream Team.
But unlike other game highlights, which all edit the highlights of a game, this highlight clip is all clips that look mediocre, some players plug in the edge to cooperate, and some players insert two more than one......
On weekdays, players would be bored with this kind of bland editing, but in contrast, they would prefer to enjoy the impact of goals and great performances, which can arouse the frenzy of football in their hearts.
But now, they are all very attentive and serious.
Long before watching the highlight video, Gao Han told them that scoring goals is only the result of pursuit, not all.
He asked the players to pay attention to the running positions of the players in the highlights, their responses, their passing coordination, their confidence and decisiveness.
By the time the highlights video was over, the lights in the conference room were bright again.
Gao Han returned to the main podium and looked at the players in front of him with a smile.
Below, every player's eyes flashed with all kinds of light, some with a hint of understanding, some looked confused, some looked confused, and some were like gains.
That's what he wants.
"Okay, I've got a copy of this half-hour video reel here, if any of you are interested in this, feel free to come and borrow it from me, I don't have any other requirements for you, just plainly hope you can watch more of these games. ”
"In the future, I will arrange other highlights, including Michels' Dutch team, Beckenbauer's German team, Louis van Gaal's Barcelona, Sachi's AC Milan team, and Bielsa's Argentine national team...... I'll schedule it to be played at the tactical meeting. ”
"I want you to not just watch, but always look for answers with questions. ”
Gao Han's speech stopped at the point and did not continue to go deeper, because if you go inside, it is a very boring thing, the players may not like to listen to it, and it is difficult for him to speak clearly in a short time, so it is better to leave it to the training practice and slowly understand.
In this tactical meeting, Gao Han wanted to focus on the next set of changes that the team would be preparing for.
Three-rear-back.
This is an idea he came up with after communicating with Guardiola, Ferguson, Wenger and other famous coaches at the European Coaches Summit, but they are all forced by the pressure of the team's performance, and there is no room and room for practice, but Gao Han can be described as a champion in the Bundesliga, and the pressure is very small.
Therefore, Gao Han wanted to do an experiment on Bayern Munich.
Although Van Bitten left before the winter break, Bayern Munich still has five central defenders in the team, and if you count Vidal, a versatile player, there are six in total, which is enough to try his hand in the cold.
And what Gao Han wants to implement is a set, and he spent a lot of money to buy the [all-attack, all-defending, three, four-three] formation in the coaching system.
As the name suggests, this is a set of three, four, three formations, taking the essence of Michels and Cruyff's tactics, combined with the tactical concept of modern football, and refining a set of tactical play.
Gao Han took advantage of the past days of rest, carefully studied, and felt very exquisite, I am afraid that the players will not be able to exert their full power in a short period of time, but as a preparatory plan for Bayern Munich, it should be more than enough.
What's more, this set of tactics is very demanding for running without the ball, which is also very much in line with Bayern Munich's characteristics.
Everyone knows that the Bundesliga has a unique knack for running off the ball.
In this tactical meeting, Gao Han carefully explained and analyzed the three, four, and three formations of the Dream First team during the coaching period of Cruyff in combination with the three, four, and three formations that were just broadcast to the players.
Gao Han is very respectful of the three, four, and three formations, believing that this is a tactical formation with super control over the game, and it can even be said that, in theory, it has super control over every area of the court, but the premise is that every player needs to be actively involved in the game and actively run.
With the current overall strength of Bayern Munich, it is not difficult for the midfield to dominate at all, so Gao Han's main focus is to attack, and even the players at the front of the opponent's penalty area run, involve and cooperate.
Speed and efficiency are the highest demands he places on the ball when it enters this area.
On the defensive side, in addition to requiring the midfield's on-the-spot counter-attack, Gao Han also emphasized the cooperation between the midfielder and the three central defenders, so that the stability of the back line can allow the midfield to devote themselves wholeheartedly to organization and attack.
But the tactical meeting is just a rhetorical cannon, and if it really doesn't work, you have to see the real chapter on the pitch.
