As early as the end of 2007, the German Football League held a meeting to study and discuss, and finally decided to cancel the 2008 German League Cup. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

According to the explanation given by the president of the professional league, it is believed that it is due to the influence of the European Cup, which has led to the lack of revenue from the event.

But everyone knows that this cup has been losing money at all, and it can only be canceled if it can't recruit sponsorship.

Without the German League Cup, Bayern Munich's preparation time is much more relaxed, with only one German Super Cup at the end of July, followed by the first round of the German Cup, and by mid-August, the Bundesliga.

Coupled with the influence of the European Cup, Bayern Munich, which has many international players, has scheduled the training camp until mid-July.

The aim is to allow the international players to have a good rest after playing the summer national team games.

It can be said that Bayern Munich has handled this aspect very leniently.

For a long time, Gao Han's management philosophy is trust.

But only if the player can live up to his trust.

And it turned out that when the team regrouped, Walfat led the medical team to conduct a physical examination of each player, and the report submitted to Gao Han showed that each player's physical condition was good.

At the very least, there is no overweight.

This also proves that this group of players is relatively restrained even if they are on vacation.

Kahn retired, Van Bommel went to AC Milan, and on the first day of training, Gao Han announced in public that Lahm would be the captain of the team next, and Schweinsteiger would be the team's vice-captain, and the two would share the responsibility of managing the dressing room.

For this reason, he communicated with Schweinsteiger and Lahm respectively the day before the training camp, especially Schweinsteiger, he said that the reason why he made such a decision was out of comprehensive consideration.

Under Gao Han's tutelage, transformed into the team's back, Schweinsteiger ushered in a new development of his career, for Gao Han is admired to the ground, although he failed to be the captain, he can't help but have some regrets, but he is also very sincere that he will earnestly fulfill the duties of the vice captain and assist Rahm in managing the locker room.

On the first day of training, Rahm began to fulfill his captaincy duties, came to the locker room early, prepared everything, and took the initiative to lead his teammates to warm up before training, playing the role of a captain very well.

After last season's run-in, Bayern Munich's overall tactical framework has basically taken shape, although Van Bommel has been sold, Vidal has adapted to the midfield role, and no one will worry about the midfield.

In particular, there is a new signing, Sami Khedira.

For the German midfielder, who is very close to Van Bommel in height, the team basically understands him as Van Bommel's successor, thinking that he will provoke the defensive task of Bayern Munich midfield with Vidal.

But this judgment is only half right.

Gao Han's positioning of Khedira is indeed a defensive midfielder, but he is not Van Bommel's successor, he and Van Bommel are two different types of players, and there is no comparison.

This was quickly realised as the preparations for the season began.

Vidal is not tall, more flexible, has excellent running ability, has a wide range of activities, is good at pressing and intercepting, is characterized by close entanglement and pressing, has a large range of activities, and will be very destructive in the crowded midfield belt, and the advantage is obvious.

But the disadvantages are not small, such as easy fouls, and the success rate of passing and receiving needs to be improved.

Khedira's characteristics are different from Vidal's, first of all, he has a high tactical execution, and his running ability is also excellent, but he is not fast, he is better at running at a constant pace, he is more calm, he does not foul often, and only fills the gaps in the team's defense with active movement.

Statistically, he's not great, he's even a little bad, but on the pitch, the results are satisfying.

Moreover, he has better passing ability, more consistency, does not foul easily, and has a strong offensive ability in the back row.

To put it simply, the characteristics of the two are suitable for playing against different teams, playing a team that is dense in the middle, playing Vidal, and playing a wide attacking player, going to Khedira.

Gao Han's use of these two players is also different from last season.

With the rise of Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Inter Milan, as well as the rise of Barcelona last season, playmaking has become the norm for Europe's top teams, especially in the Champions League, where more and more teams are adopting this style of play.

He hopes that Vidal and Khedira will be able to penetrate deep into the opposition formation like a nail when they are on the pitch, and the target is the playmaker's midfield, so they will be a little higher up the pitch than Schweinsteiger and Luka Modric.

In the past, players who played this position were often nine-and-a-half players, with excellent speed and foot-to-foot skills, or like Kaka, who had a strong ability to attack from behind.

But now, Gao Han has to put Vidal and Khedira in such a role, acting as a barrier in the team's midfield, and with Schweinsteiger and Luka Modric behind him, he believes that the midfield defense will improve compared to last season.

In his opinion, the new season's European Super Cup, the game against Barcelona, will be a test of his own set of tactics.

The opponent's strength is strong enough, Gao Han also attaches great importance to it, and when he runs in the team's tactics and rehearses the formation play, he also does it quite meticulously, and even calls to stop training at every turn, pointing out the mistakes made by Vidal or Khedira at the first time and correcting them.

Fortunately, after a year of familiarization, Vidal is very familiar with Gao Han's tactical ideas and concepts, Khedira has a high ball quotient and quick comprehension ability, and the entry of both players is very satisfactory.

The midfield is starting to build up, but Lewandowski and Reus up front will need time.

Lewandowski is not young and has little professional experience, and jumped directly from the Polish Second Division to the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, which invisibly gave him a lot of pressure, and Gao Han communicated with him many times, saying that he completely trusted him and would continue to give him opportunities, hoping that he would not have pressure and concentrate on playing.

As for Royce, he is younger and has poor physical confrontation, so he started performing muscle strengthening training during the training camp, but it also took time.

…………

As early as the beginning of February, Bayern Munich had basically decided on the warm-up matches for the summer training camp.

A week after the team's training camp, the team travelled to Lipsstadt.

This is the hometown of Rummenigge, and this year is the centenary of Lipstadt's team, so they have invited Bayern Munich to play early on as the finale of the celebrations.

Bayern Munich's arrival was also warmly welcomed by the Lipstadt fans, all of whom rushed to see Europe's top coach Gao Han, as well as many of the team's stars.

Before the start of the race, Lipstadt also prepared a wonderful celebratory performance.

But in the game, Bayern Munich showed no mercy, scoring seven goals for Lipstadt with an overhead kick, and it was not until the final stage of the game that Lipstadt scored a goal.

In the end, the Bundesliga giants walked away 7-1.

But even the fans at the scene knew that the reason why Lipstadt was able to score a goal was due to the mercy of Bayern Munich's men, and the Bundesliga giants were not willing to embarrass Lipstadt on such an important holiday.

The seven-to-one ending made both teams happy.

After the Lipstadt game, Bayern Munich returned to Munich to continue training, but soon left for Nordlingen.

Nordlingen is the birthplace of Bayern Munich's Gerd Müller, and in honor of the great goalscorer, Nordlingen decided to name the city's park stadium Gerd Müller Arena on the occasion of the team's centennial.

Bayern Munich was invited as a guest to participate in the centenary celebrations and the renaming ceremony, as well as a warm-up match with Nordlingen in the renamed stadium.

Gao Han also met the legendary shooter for the first time before this match.

Gerd Muller spoke highly of Gao Han's coaching achievements last season, praised Gao Han for being on the road to passing the legend, and believed that Gao Han's team has reached a new peak in Bayern Munich in recent years, and is fully capable of winning the Champions League if it continues to work hard.

Gao Han thanked Gerd Muller for his appreciation, and also invited Gerd Muller as the guest of honor, sitting in the coach's seat to watch this friendly match specially for him.

There was no suspense in the game, Gao Han played a four-three-three formation in the first half, but tried a three-four-three formation in the second half, and the result was still an 8-1 victory, and the home team Nordlingen scored a goal in an attack at the beginning of the second half.

But it is clear that this is still a deliberate release from Bayern Munich.

In particular, in the last 30 minutes of the game, Gao Han was replaced by Thomas Muller.

The Bayern Munich academy youngster was a brilliant performer last season and has been hailed as the new Muller, and he was also very hard in front of his predecessor Gerd Muller, scoring two goals with an overhead kick after coming on.

In an interview with the media after the game, Gerd Muller was full of praise for Bayern Munich's performance, believing that Gao Han could win everything with this team, including the Champions League.

As for Thomas Müller, Gerd Müller said that he is not the new Müller, he will be Thomas Müller.

"He doesn't need to be anybody, he should try to be himself. ”

This is a great inspiration for Thomas Müller.

Two days later, the team played their third warm-up match, again against lower league side Nabourg.

Although there are many fans in the outside world who are always criticizing Bayern Munich's dominance of the Bundesliga, which is a disaster for German football, in fact, after Gao Han came to coach Bayern Munich, he was surprised to find that things were not so simple.

It's like these three warm-up games this summer.

If it is customary, Bayern Munich not only has to charge a seven-figure or more appearance fee, but also share the ticket revenue, but considering that the three teams are all teams in the lower leagues and the finances are not sufficient, Bayern Munich not only does not charge the appearance fee, nor does it share the ticket revenue.

You must know that the three warm-up games have attracted at least 20,000 fans to watch the games, and the ticket income of each game has reached six figures, which is not a small amount, but Bayern Munich still gives all the income to the home team for free.

Not to mention other revenues such as investment and advertising sponsorship for competitions.

In the third warm-up game, Bayern Munich not only won without suspense, but even played the highest score, 11 to 1.

Toni Kroos scored a hat-trick, Arjen Robben scored a brace and the rest of the attacking players also scored.

Three warm-up games, big wins, although the opponents are very weak, but Bayern Munich's state is obviously well adjusted, which also makes many people sympathize with Dortmund's experience in the upcoming German Super Cup.
