Chapter 25: Xiaoqiang and the Elephant
Away from home against opponents of equal strength and inform, Rehhagel is clearly more secure in the arrangement.
Ballack, who was strong in attack and weak in defense, was replaced by Booker, who was both offensive and defensive, and sat on the bench with a depressed face.
Yu Mo sat next to him and teased him.
"Where's ice cream?"
"Oh, I'll buy it for you." Barak was obviously not in the mood to chat, and he didn't turn his head away, still looking at the field.
The team started the game passively, and Lineker's shouts drilled into his eardrums, unusually harsh.
"You don't like to sit and watch the game?" You Mo still did not give up and continued to harass.
"You like to sit and watch the game!" Barak turned his head angrily and roared in a fierce voice, but a wry smile came out of his mouth.
"I spent most of the season on the bench last year," he says. You Mo saw it clearly and blinked.
"I'm 21." Barak spoke quickly and without thinking.
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Nope."
"I have three, and I'm already in debt."
"You, will you help me?"
Barak hesitated, his voice lowered, a clear longing in his eyes.
"Okay, if you're sincere, I'll do my best." You Mo smiled, serious.
"Actually, I shouldn't have made such a request." Barak opened his mouth excitedly, but hesitated, his expression equally stern.
"Since I said it, wouldn't it be a pity to give up halfway."
"Well, I want to talk to the coach and see if I can play on the left side. I'm only good at heading and right foot, and the left-sided midfielder position makes me awkward. ”
"Understood."
"Also, I want to know. Why are you willing to help me? ”
"You promised to treat me to ice cream."
"Haha, you're such a funny guy!"
Barak was put on the bench by Rehhagel. This is not surprising. Although he opened the door to victory for the team in the last game, he lacked a sense of position exposed in the back, and he was medicrete in defence. In every top-flight matchup, both sides don't neglect to study carefully before the game. Since his positional problem can be exploited by the Hamburg team, it is natural that other opponents will not let it go.
At a high level of competition, any obvious position is short. will guide zhì tactically to take care of one or the other. Disadvantages accumulate and defeat takes shape.
The so-called, barrel theory.
In attack, his characteristics have not been ignored by the manager, but the current situation is not suitable for him to rush into battle.
He made the leap from the third division to the top flight, making a career milestone breakthrough in his first game, and the excitement is understandable.
But the game is like this, one second you can become a hero, the next second you may become a bear. The more exaggerated the excitement, the more uncomfortable it is when the loss comes.
Yu Mo was also pressed to the bench. This is somewhat surprising!
According to the pre-match media interviews, the clubs of both sides and the stars of both sides have already called out. In the next game, don't be pinpointed against Mai Mang, you score one, I score two, and I can't draw if you win.
Where is the reason that there has been a provocation and has been hidden by others?
Don't. Is Rehhagel not satisfied with Yumo's remarks?
After a few flusteries in the opening period, Kaiserslautern gradually stabilized his position.
Cologne playing at home. The strength is far from enough to suppress the opponent's fat beating. While both sides were attacking and defending each other, they both adopted a cautious strategy, hoping to stabilize the defense and then wait for opportunities to find opportunities.
Driven by this mentality, the scene became dull and boring.
In the studio of National Radio 2, old partners Smit and Gerd Müller seemed to be uninterested in the situation on the field.
The two began to rehash the old story. Hope to find the real clues.
"Mo's state in the last game was really average, and those commonplace physical creations in the past didn't come out in the whole game. It can be seen from this that he is not a superman, and he will have ups and downs in the same state. ”
"Yes. There is no athlete who does not have the problem of ups and downs, just the difference in height and length. Mo used a very clever approach in the last game to make himself a huge help to the team even when he was at a low point in form! ”
"Well, that's a very rare one. We often use the word to describe a player who is very good, 'playing with his brain'! Of course, the meaning is not to head the ball well, specifically, it is to take advantage of the situation, make reasonable use of resources, and maximize their own role. ”
"The guys who kick the ball with their brains have an extra physical outstanding, which makes people a little excited just thinking about it!"
"Yes, but what kind of calculation did Rehhagel, who hid him in the snow this time?"
"I can't see it yet. However, I think it's almost certain that the manager wasn't unhappy with his comments and removed his starting position. This can be clearly seen from the look on his face laughing with his teammates on the bench. ”
"Haha, you noticed that too?"
Barak looked frustrated, and Mo smiled from the sidelines.
"This mentality, how to say. If it were anyone else, we might think that he was a little unmotivated. But he is the only one who makes people not come to such conclusions. ”
"It's true that this guy always surprises people. There are many times, and the conclusions naturally dare not be arbitrary. ”
"And, have you thought about it. He has just gone toe-to-toe with last season's Golden Boot winner in the media, and this is the time to hold his breath and try to surpass his opponents! ”
"Perhaps, just smoke bombs?"
"Possibly!"
"It seems that he and Rehhagel, and possibly Kaiserslautern club, put smoke bombs together!"
Although the two old guys talked about the topic from afar, their eyes were vicious.
The so-called revenge, if the goal is just a warm-up match, it will obviously make people laugh and be generous.
Rehhagel was not carried away by the team's two excellent performances, and in his opinion, even with three goals in two games, Yumo is still only a 17-year-old. Since you are not in good physical condition, you should rest well and do not need to rush to one place at a time.
Just as the characteristics of Barak were not overlooked. He also did not ignore Yu Mo's team table in the last game. This made him hesitate for a moment when deciding whether to hide or not.
What prompted him to make up his mind was the number of information that he flipped up casually.
In the last two races, Yumo has covered an average distance of more than 11,000 meters!
This is obviously a bit overloaded for a guy whose body is not yet fully developed!
Rehhagel, who was surprised by this number, reopened the video of the two games. Study it carefully.
The conclusion was made quickly.
The wide coverage of free people requires extremely abundant physical strength to back it up. Although, Youmo has never had significant fitness concerns in their previous matches. But that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future!
Especially in the high-paced, high-confrontation top league, the physical exertion does not advance in a smooth curve. It is very likely that in a continuous confrontation, a certain joint, a certain muscle, a certain ligament, in a short period of time, a large number of uses, causing fatigue. Become a hidden danger of injury!
Realizing this possibility, Rehhagel made up his mind and called the team doctor over to give him some advice.
Pre-race physical examination, stage inspection, and condition assessment, all the same!
The first half ended at a boring 0:0.
The fans and commentators who are used to eating big meals shouted that they were fooled, and they kept scolding their mothers in their hearts.
That's what the game is. Spend money and time to read it, and spend time preparing materials to explain. Naturally, you want to get plenty of returns. If neither side of the game has the intention of taking risks, is not prepared to do their best to create a chance, and is waiting for the opponent to make a mistake, it will be difficult for everyone except the die-hard fans to keep watching.
The Bundesliga does not have the ornamental nature of delicate technology, and the attack is wide open and closed. It's something that fans love to see every week.
Even the broadcast of the game will take into account the above factors and deliberately look for some elements that can arouse the appetite of fans.
Players and coaches tend to be dismissive of this mentality.
For them, to win, to win the championship. Fame and fortune are the most important thing, and asking the opponent for spectacle is just a cover for the unsatisfactory result of the game.
This mentality of players and coaches also has pros and cons.
Membership-based clubs need constant fresh blood to stimulate the ball market, and the spectacle of the game is undoubtedly the best weapon to attract fans.
Kaiserslautern's previous path of decline is actually such a vicious circle!
The style of play is conservative, the scene is ugly, the income is declining, the good players cannot be retained, the results are declining, and they fall into the second division
However, in the second division, winning and reaching the top is the most important thing!
Think about it, life is going to be gone, and you still pursue the ornamentality of P?
This is no longer the case.
The team has completed its goal of returning to the Bundesliga, and the fighting power that broke out in the first two games also fully shows the strength of the team to fight for more than just relegation. In this situation, it is still cautious and conservative, and if the away draw is regarded as a victory, it will undoubtedly disappoint everyone.
Today's 45 minutes of play were over, and all Kaiserslautern supporters were clouded.
Shouldn't you go the old way again?
Rehhagel really didn't anticipate the problem.
In this respect, he is the same as any other professional manager.
Only responsible for the results, nothing else!
In fact, this is also a fierce competition in the professional arena, and the head coach has a strong sense of crisis at work.
He has big plans, long-term goals, and the patience to give up the scene to pursue results.
But what about the fans?
Patient enough and fully understood, can you be satisfied with a narrow 1-0 win after holding on, or a more bland ending?
Two games at a time, half a season, the whole season, what will happen?
His platoon has always been evaluated as more conservative and less impulsive. The use of young people has always been cautious and protective. This unpleasant style will be overshadowed by the current results for the time being, and there will not be too much noise. But if you continue to think like this in the long season, it will undoubtedly have a long-term negative impact on the team.
"I'll take you to the boss room at night, do you dare to build yì directly to him?"
On the court at halftime, Yumo and Ballack bouncing the ball bouncing.
"Huh? Is it so straightforward? I thought you'd help me talk, plead for mercy or something," Barak was startled, and his heart was a little weak.
"I'm afraid of Maomao, if you don't say it, how will the boss know how bold you are?" Yu Mo continued to instigate.
"Okay then, I'll talk about it. Is it to use a tougher tone and a domineering attitude? Barack was fooled, patting his chest to show the pride in his chest.
"That's not necessary, you're just a little strong now, he's an elephant, if you scare him, he'll trample you into a biscuit!"
"Uh" (To be continued......)
