Chapter 702: Combo Punch

In fact, it is really not that Gao Han is deliberately low-key, or hypocritical and pretentious, pretending to be modest, but he has a deep understanding. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bayern Munich have been on all three fronts this season, and the team has won all the way and boosted morale, which would have been a good thing, and it would have given every player in the team confidence and high spirits.

But the problem is that it's the end of March, and it's starting to wrap up.

So far in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich has won 24 consecutive games this season, with 72 points, while the second team is Hertha Berlin with 49 points, 23 points behind Bayern Munich.

With ten rounds left in the league, the Bundesliga giants winning the championship is already ironclad, and the difference is sooner or later.

Winning the championship early has the advantage of winning the championship early, that is, you can concentrate more on playing the cup.

But the downside is also very obvious, and that is that the players are likely to become slack.

The season is a long process and every player has to strain their nerves, and once that nerve is loosened, it is likely that it will never be tightened again.

And now, with Porto drawn in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, it can be said that the weakest of the eight teams, and almost everyone even believes that Bayern Munich will pass smoothly, including the players themselves.

Coupled with the praise of the outside media, the atmosphere of the team is a little too optimistic, in this case, where does Gao Han dare not be low-key?

In fact, on the night of the draw, Bayern Munich did not perform satisfactorily.

Playing at home, they took advantage of the right time and place, and under the watchful eyes of nearly 70,000 fans, they only got a score of 1-0 in the end, thanks to Vidal's key stunner, otherwise, Bayern Munich would probably be forced to draw by Karlsruhe.

Such a process and result are obviously unacceptable to Gao Han.

However, considering that this is a key node to win the championship, and after this round, the Bundesliga will be suspended for two weeks to usher in the national team competition, so Gao Han didn't say much, and it was still mainly encouraged.

It was also in this round that second-placed Hertha Berlin lost 2-0 away to Stuttgart, and the gap between them and Bayern Munich further widened to 26 points.

With nine rounds left in the league, Bayern Munich's victory is already a certainty, and the time to win the championship is likely to be in the next round.

After a two-week hiatus in the Bundesliga after Karlsruhe, the internationals went to their respective national teams to prepare for the 2010 World Cup European qualifiers in South Africa.

Two weeks later, however, the players returned to Germany and the team travelled to take on Wolfsburg.

While both sides were affected by the national team's game, Wolfsburg were significantly less affected, with Bayern Munich playing so badly away from home that they were forced to retreat to the back of goal at one point.

Arguably, the Bundesliga giants played one of the most embarrassing games of the season so far.

But in the end, thanks to Klose's goal in second-half stoppage time, Bayern Munich won 1-0 away.

The championship is in hand, but this time, Gao Han is angry.

…………

…………

"It was definitely the worst game of the season and the most disappointing for me. ”

'You have to thank the Wolfsburg forwards, they missed a lot of good chances, otherwise if they had caught even a tenth, we would have been a miserable defeat here. ”

In the locker room after the game, Gao Han was furious and trained all the players so that they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

"Listen, the Wolfsburg fans outside must be celebrating, they almost won, which is absolutely unacceptable to us, I don't know what you guys were thinking during the game?

If the team's performance in the first half was not ideal, it was understandable, then the second half was clearly not deserved.

Gao Han reminded the players at halftime and adjusted the team's tactics, but he didn't expect that the second half was still as usual, and there was no sign of turning the situation around.

Yes, the two weeks of international matches were really torturous, but both the reports from Buenaventura and the data from Sergio Garcia clearly showed that there was no problem with the players' physical condition.

At the very least, it was more than enough to take Wolfsburg.

"I know what the problem is, not tactically, not technically, but in your mind. ”

Gao Han unceremoniously pointed out the crux of the team's sluggish performance.

This was evident as early as two weeks ago at home to Bells Ruhe.

"In the past, all of us had a unified goal and direction and were able to work together to win the title, but now that the title is within reach, some of you are starting to become overconfident. ”

"Do you think that even if you are standing and kicking, you can take the opponent down?"

Gao Han's rhetorical question made every player in the locker room feel a pang in their hearts.

Gao Han has always given them the impression that they are good gentlemen, very talkative, polite, and respectful of each other, but they rarely suppress them with the power of a head coach like now, but it is precisely because of this that they feel afraid.

"You guys have to reflect on it, I'm going to make a substitution in the Champions League in midweek, there must be some of you who can't play, I don't know how many people will be replaced, but I definitely have to change!"

After saying that, Gao Han turned around and walked out of the visiting team's locker room without looking back.

In the locker room, every player looked at the back of the head coach with some surprise, and everyone was in danger.

Champions League quarterfinals, playing Porto, who doesn't want to play?

And Gao Han even used this threat to warn them, making it clear that he was really angered.

Every player in the Bayern Munich team knows very well that if there is only one person in the team who is indispensable, it must be the head coach Gao Han.

Now he is angry, and no one dares to be careless.

…………

"These stinky boys are really uncomfortable. ”

Gao Han had just come out of the locker room, just in time to meet Hoeness, who had heard the news, and when the two went to talk to no one on the side, Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Hoeness is also a professional footballer and certainly understands the problems that players are facing at this moment.

From the beginning of the season to the present, although there is a winter break, but the championship has arrived, many players will involuntarily slack off, which is also human nature, inevitable, but for Bayern Munich, who will focus on the cup competition next, it is a big taboo.

Hoeness looked at Gao Han's appearance, smiled, raised his left hand, and looked at the time on his wrist, "You, you have been scolding for more than an hour, so scared that Nelinger hurried to find me, and thought something was wrong." ”

"I don't want to. Gao Han himself felt funny, "But if you don't teach them a lesson, what will you do next?"

Hoeness agrees with Gao Han's approach.

This slackness of the players is involuntary, and even many times the players themselves do not pay attention, so at this time they should be given a little pressure to stimulate them to continue to maintain their form.

He could also see that Gao Han was still relatively experienced in this area.

Since the team's defeat to Chelsea, Gao Han has been deliberately keeping a low profile, just to avoid the team being too inflated.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Hoeness persuaded.

After working with Gao Han for two years, he never had to worry about Gao Han's professional ethics and sense of responsibility, at least at the competitive level, Gao Han never let the management worry about it, and he and his coaching team would handle everything properly.

This is also what Hoeness admires the most.

At the very least, this world's No. 1 coach is definitely not fake.

But Gao Han's considerations clearly looked further than Hoeness.

'I'm not doing it now for the next game against Porto, I am sure of winning against Porto and I'm doing it now for the next semi-final. Gao Han said seriously.

The semi-final opponent is the winner between Barcelona and Inter Milan, and no matter who it is, the game will not be easy to play.

That was the real test for Bayern Munich.

…………

…………

After two consecutive rounds of sluggish performances, Gao Han lashed out in the dressing room after the game, reprimanding the players for more than an hour, and the news quickly spread in European football and caused a huge repercussion.

The outside media is also full of discussions, many people believe that Bayern Munich won the championship ahead of schedule, and Porto was drawn in the quarterfinals, and the luck is excellent, and the players may be a little blind and slack.

Gao Han reprimanded the team at this time, obviously to wake up the players.

However, there are also many people who worry that Gao Han's reprimand and punishment will backfire, causing the players to resent and make the team's morale even lower, which is not conducive to the upcoming Champions League knockout round.

But soon, Gao Han gave a corresponding strategy.

Two days after playing Wolfsburg, before the Champions League quarter-finals and the home game against Porto, Gao Han's tone in the pre-match press conference was noticeably more relaxed than before.

"Proper rotation is necessary for a team that has been playing on multiple fronts for a long time, and we have been doing it for the past two seasons with great results. ”

"Yes, I did say to my face that I was going to make changes to the lineup, but you all got it wrong, it's not a punishment, it's just a normal rotation of the team. ”

Regarding the misinterpretation by the outside media, Gao Han said that he was very innocent and helpless.

"We have more than 20 players in the first team and I can't play every game of the season with the same eleven players, right? ”

In addition to slowing down his tone at the press conference, Gao Han also reiterated his views at the team's internal mobilization meeting, saying that his tone two days ago was indeed a bit heavy, but the team's performance was indeed not ideal, and everyone must be admonished.

In the one-on-one communication with the players before the game, Gao Han also tried to ease the emotions of the players while ensuring the effect of the previous reprimand, focusing on comfort.

It's a tried-and-true combination designed to get everyone back on their feet, to cope with the game, and to defuse the impact of the team's early title win and the outside media's hype.

Although there is only a one-word difference between stick killing and praising killing, the former is a real knife and a real gun, but the latter is invincible.

As the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, Gao Han's years of coaching experience make him have to be more cautious about the latter.

As for the effect, it depends on this game against Porto.
