Shortly after the start of the second half, looking at the dazzling 1-0 score board, Magath stood on the sidelines, watching the Schalke players galloping on the pitch with an unhappy face, and complaining in his heart that he had been too good to Schalke before. Small. The update is so fast.

In the 31st round of the league, half-time, Schalke led Wolfsburg 1-0. Looking at the players who were his disciples a month ago, and now they have become their enemies, Ma Jia Te's heart is quite unpleasant. And seeing the score, his unhappiness will be exacerbated even more.

Moreover, he could see that Schalke was obviously not doing their best, and their lineup was arranged, although almost all the main forces in the backfield were there, but in the frontcourt, Raul did not play. In this game, they clearly wanted to prepare for the Champions League in midweek and wanted to drill the defensive level in advance, so there was no emphasis on attack.

In the midweek game, Schalke played Manchester United after all. Even if Manchester United has not had the glory of Cristiano Ronaldo in the past two years, as long as Ferguson is there, it is still not something that a team like Schalke can underestimate. Schalke's new coach, Rangnick, also took that game very seriously, and before that, the game against Wolfsburg was also the time he hoped for tactical drilling.

It's just that, although in his opinion, his tactics are well arranged and he is ready to fight Manchester United, but in Magath's opinion, his tactics are still full of leaks and problems.

Rangnick's tactics, the back five are arranged. The tactics of a single midfielder, such a tactic that does not conform to the convention, naturally has a big problem. Five defenders. A midfielder, which leads to a lack of midfield defence and the need for one of the centre-backs to constantly 'plug in' forward. That's exactly what Rangnick did, keeping Papa running back and forth, constantly supporting the midfield. However, in doing so, it has a fatal weakness compared to the double back midfield.

Schalke used a single striker, three forward tactics. Their three forwards, in terms of strength, can be regarded as the 'colorful' forward of the Bundesliga. But when it comes to defensive positivity, it's not very good. They refused to defend and the midfielders had to struggle in midfield. Such a front court must also be matched with a single back. Later, if you are tired to death, it is difficult to take care of everything, and the spacing between the three lines will become larger and larger.

Sacchi once said that the most suitable distance between the three lines of modern football is 25 meters from each other, but Schalke's single back is difficult to connect this distance. Juerdo is a good midfielder and wants to maintain his formation. It's hard for him to do that.

Even after just watching half the game, Magath could sense the many problems in the opponent's tactics. If you are facing a strong team, you can make good use of this flaw. Rangnick led the team to the last four of the Champions League. It can be regarded as a successful coach, but in Magath's opinion, his level as a coach is still far behind.

Rangnick is known as a professor in the Bundesliga and is described as a tactical 'brilliant' academy coach. However, in Magath's eyes, the so-called academics. It means to be detached from reality. It looks like he's devised a good tactic, but it's Schalke. These tactics simply don't work.

During Magath's tenure at Schalke, these problems were not without their problems, but the team under Magath's coaching was a tactical component of counter-attacking and pressing at any time, and now that he has been gone for a month, these players are no longer willing to perform those tiring jobs, and their strength is much less than before.

Such Schalke met Manchester United but was afraid that there was no possibility of winning. Ferguson has coached the Premier League for more than 20 years, although there are some people who question the low level of Premier League tactics, and Ferguson's coaching is not as pioneering as the continental coach, but everyone has to admit that Ferguson has a very solid grasp of the basic things of tactics.

It's a pity that Manchester United can abuse them, but they can't. Magath looked back at his players and could only lament: although the opponent's tactics are not small, and the style of play is not without problems in his opinion, it is difficult to take advantage of this flaw.

Schalke is not good at tactics, but Wolfsburg is simply not in the strength of the players. In the first few games, Magath thought he had turned his team's losing streak around and had enough confidence to restore his players' confidence. But this time, it's still not good.

A season of weakness has already worn a toll on their confidence. In the first few games, although they played well, most of those goals were against those relegation teams, and the team's confidence could still be gathered. And the game against a strong team, this is the first time Magath has met since returning to Wolfsburg.

Wolves' final relegation schedule is actually quite good, they don't have any tough games to play, even Schalke, the best they have faced so far, is only 10th in the league. However, this tenth is different from other tenths after all, and the teams that have reached the top four in the Champions League always have their own 'color'.

Schalke was able to dominate the Champions League because of their squad. Their players are all very 'outstanding', and against opponents like Wolfsburg, even if the tactics are not dominant, they can rely on the ability of the players to complete their counter-attacks.

The only goal of the game so far has been on the counter-attack. Schalke's tactics were quite simple, after getting the ball, splitting the side, and then pressing through the wing, allowing Farfan to get the ball, and then launched an attack on the back of Wolfsburg.

Among all the wingers in the entire Bundesliga, except for Bayern's Berry and Robben, there is hardly anyone who dares to say that his strength is stronger than Farfan. As a top-class winger, Farfan's speed and his ability to break through have made Wolfsburg suffer greatly. It was his cut after one dribbling that made it into the Wolfsburg penalty area. In the penalty area, his 'fine' and accurate cross also enabled Schalke's center forward Edu to receive the ball and calmly break through the big 'goal' of Wolfsburg.

His former love will break the big 'door' of his own coaching team, and this kind of thing is also annoying enough.

And if it's just a strong offense, their defense is just as terrible. Their biggest name is their main 'goalkeeper' Manuel Neuer, a name that will discourage any striker who faces him. Although the profession of 'goalkeeper' has Italy's old demon Buffon and Real Madrid captain Cassie, their honors are difficult for others to winter, but Neuer still relies on his own strength and has basically crowned the title of the world's No. 1 'goalkeeper' in the future. In the current period, many teams are rumored to buy him, and Manchester United and Bayern are the most famous two.

Thinking of this, Magath felt angry in his heart. He had coached Schalke and he knew Neuer's temper and he would never play in a league other than Germany. And if he stays in China, he may be pried away by Bayern and become Bayern's 'goalkeeper' in the future. Thinking of this, Magath was extremely annoyed, he didn't like Bayern, and he didn't like Bayern to be able to get stronger in any way, and the players he had cultivated during his tenure at Schalke were going to Bayern, which was enough to make him angry.

Walking back and forth on the sidelines, looking at the situation on the field, Magath also had great resentment in his heart. It was hard for him to control his emotions, and even if he knew that the only result of doing so would be to be ridiculed by the media after the match.

This game is really infuriating. If there was a way to get revenge......

Magath walked on the sidelines, looking up at the field, but saw that at this time, Grafeth had an unsuccessful 'shot' and 'goal'.

This time, he 'plugged' from the left side, and after taking a step into the penalty area, he slammed the ball into the top left corner of the goal. His choice looked good, but Neuer was in front of the goal, and he quickly bounced to the ground, and his palm crossed the front of the ball in front of the goal, blocking the football again.

Grafit's 'shot' and 'goal' are already quite tricky, but unfortunately, he is facing Neuer, and there is still no chance. For other 'goals' will be able to be regarded as 'shots' and 'goals' in the dead end, Neuer can block them, such a level is amazing.

Magath sighed, he didn't even bother to watch the game again. With Neuer here, he doesn't know how to score in this game.

However, in such a state as Grafit, he will definitely not be able to stand it. Rather than let him be unhurried and embarrassed on the field, it is better to make an early substitution and try to give it a go.

"High, come here!"

Standing on the edge of the court, Magath finally made up his mind to make a substitution, he waved his hand, called Gao Shunyao over, and in his ear, said his opinion, "You play in a while, don't go to the penalty area to conflict." Within 25 meters between the back and the back, run back and forth for me, run hard! Take Papa up completely, let him run with you, as long as he runs, our players will be able to 'plug' in the back row and threaten the goal, you see? ”

In Magath's view, the biggest trouble with the use of foreign players is that there is a big language barrier. But at this time, he can't care so much. He tried to speak to Gao Shunyao in the simplest language, pointing to the court and waving his hand, signaling what he should do.

"I see."

Hearing his words, Gao Shunyao immediately nodded. His attitude made Magath feel a little relieved. At this time, what he needs is not the opinion of the players, but the intensity of execution.

When coaches use players, they know that players can't perform at their best every game. They don't necessarily make a difference in every game, that's something everyone knows. However, what the coach needs is the obedience and hard work of the players, and the determination to execute, that is, good players. And if he can execute the tactics and play at a high level against the strong team, it is enough for the coach to impress him.

I gave him an extraordinary opportunity, but I don't know, can he grasp it? q
