Chapter 50: Intolerability
Was Friedel indifferent?
How can it be!
Such a crucial home game, such a weak opponent, the defensive line that was almost beaten into a sieve at the beginning, actually completely suppressed his well-designed starting lineup, which is simply intolerable!
Moreover, the players are not working hard, except for the goalkeeper, everyone else has a higher average running distance than in the past.
The only person who can find out and take responsibility with himself is probably Kuka, who is laissez-faire.
However, the guy who is not good at acting as a fulcrum in the first place, didn't he arrange for him to be difficult?!!!
Tactics are in dire need of adjustment, even the average fan can see this!
How can it be adjusted?!
The opponent who must be won at home, not to eat, not to say, but was suppressed by them and beaten, in this situation the players are in a hurry is a completely normal reaction, shouting that they all shrink the defense, will definitely be unconvinced!
Before halftime, the substitution adjustment will definitely be criticized by everyone, and there is not a single hair left to be ridiculed by his own well-designed starting lineup!
The tactical design and on-the-spot command ability, which has been criticized, will definitely be exaggerated to the point of intolerability in this situation, and if the contradictions with the players are exposed some time ago, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Definitely, definitely, definitely
Time just passed in affirmation
It wasn't until the blow on the head fell that Friedel's worst fears happened.
It was so dark in front of him that it was not so dark, and his face was so pale that it was obvious to see.
The players' faces were even more ugly.
Anger, worry, depression, grievance, just no chagrin.
Slightly better than their faces. It was the president of the club, Kuntz, in the stands, and two girls. Their minds are similar to those of the commentators, and they all feel that there will definitely be adjustments in the second half, there will be obvious improvements, and the situation and the score will be restored.
Fans won't buy it!
The team's table has just improved, and it has not been able to catch up with third place. was beaten by the weak team Aachen at home! If the players don't perform well, it's just that, but the opening ten minutes of the game fully shows that their competitive state is good, and all the problems are mistakes in tactical play!
It is true that the attendance rate of the German league is extremely high, but the number of over-excited fans and football hooligans is not outstanding, but it is the analytical thinking ability of insiders, which has a good foundation in them.
So, when the head stick fell. The boos, mixed with the shouts and scolding for Friedel to get out, suddenly rang out, and went higher and higher!
The originally dazzling lights of the night show seemed to be shaken by the overwhelming scolding and became flickering.
Friedel, who was walking towards the locker room, had a slight weakness in his legs, his face turned pale, and the wrinkles on his forehead outlined the ups and downs of the years.
Change. Big change, face at such a time. Worthless!
ββββ
How to change?
Gerd MΓΌller and Smit are helping him analyze the situation, by the way, offer advice. Although he couldn't hear it.
"Against such an opponent at home, Friedel seems to be a little ill-conceived. The role of the veteran Sheri is undoubtedly revealed in this situation, there is no fulcrum in the front, and this team that lacks a playmaker in the middle seems to be unable to play! β
"Well, in the second half, it was a substitution for Sheri to continue to play in the air. Or change to We to go to the ground to create a zΓ o opportunity, both options are feasible. Which do you think is more suitable? β
"It sounds good, and it should be effective when it is implemented. But don't forget! We can imagine that Fox will not be unexpected! β
"Hmm. Reasonable! In this way, the winner of this game should be the contest between the two head coaches! β
"Well, the second half has already started and there will be no substitutions for Aachen. Let's take a look at Kaiserslautern's adjustments! Oh my God, is Friedel betting on a bet? Two people on it together?! β
"Hmmm! Both Kuka and Wagner were replaced? It's bold, but I can understand his feelings. Such an important game is played like this, if he doesn't save it, his position will be affected! β
"Yes, the previous events are not listed for the time being. Being booed at home today is indeed a bit unusual. Although the reaction of the fans is a bit excessive, this should also be a deep love, and it should be responsible! β
"This lineup is the strongest lineup that Kaiserslautern can put out at the moment, right?"
"Well, that's what it looks like in theory. However, is the strongest, the most suitable? β
ββββ
Is it appropriate?
Almost ten minutes passed in the second half, and the effect was not bad on the scene.
The strength of the Aachen team is mediocre in both attack and defense, and they can always hold down the opponent in the first half, but the tactics and momentum are working. Of course, abundant physical energy is also the capital they squander.
If they hadn't prepared, they would have been surprised by such a big change in Kaiserslautern and caught off guard by their opponents.
It's a pity that their head coach, Varner Fox, a guy who is 2 years older than Gad MΓΌller's memory, is a 63-year-old old fox!
After 11 minutes of steady play, in the 56th minute of the game, the Aachen team made a substitution. It doesn't matter who is replaced, the guy who is replaced has attracted all the attention of the audience.
Why are little-known guys in the spotlight so much attention?
162 tall only.
The Bundesliga is undoubtedly the most exaggerated average height of the five major leagues.
185cmοΌ
The Bundesliga may be slightly inferior, but the height of 162 can be selected by the manager at this time, and the purpose is simply obvious!
One-on-one marking is coming!
"Fawkes is prepared! With such a small person, the frequency of his feet must be amazingly fast. We's passing options and breakthrough possibilities will obviously be limited! β
"How do you crack it? This situation of being controlled by people everywhere? β
"Your teammates have to give him enough help! The ball passed to him, the route needs to be changed, and the points that respond to him must also be increased as much as possible, so that he can't always be trapped in passive entanglement! β
"It seems a little difficult, judging from the table xiΓ n for more than ten minutes. Kaiserslautern team did not do well! β
"Yes, their playmaking core was greatly disturbed, his teammates didn't give him enough assistance, and Mo was cut off from him. If this situation is not improved in time, impatience will flood, and their defense may have problems! β
"It's time to test Friedel again. It is intolerable for everyone to continue to maintain this kind of performance and results at home! β
"Why is there such a passive situation? Is it just because Fox is well prepared? β
"Huh? What do you mean? β
"Yes, Friedel, he made another mistake, he shouldn't have played two hole cards at once! In fact, Kuka's table in this game is not bad, he is very active in the frontcourt, and if he is still on the field at this time, he can give us a lot of support. Even judging by his table xiΓ n. It can make him drop back a little deeper, help We sort out the midfield, and make the ball run more smoothly! Instead of being like now, he replaced with We but he couldn't play his role, and he could only impact the opponent with inefficient high-altitude balls! β
"This game, it looks like it's going to be an upset"
ββββ
If the regret pill was sold, Friedel would have bought it with all he had.
He can't hear the words of Gerd MΓΌller, but a professional manager with 12 years of coaching experience. It's not like you can't see that.
But what can you see?
The opponent obviously saw through his weakness, which was to make a fuss about the starting lineup that was a little reckless in this game. Not to mention the remarkable effect. The follow-up magic hand still pressed his choice to the ground!
Mistakes over and over again, does this game still stand a chance?
I don't think so.
The relaxed Aachen team played at a level of skill that had never been achieved before. In the 78th minute of the game, Lineker's hard-held door was broken again.
After the start of the second half, the fans who had just cheered up. I was poured cold by a scoop of cold water from reality! Boos and scolding didn't save anything, so more people chose to leave early to express their despair.
Friedel slumped limply in the dugout, his pale face without a trace of blood. It was as if the eyes that did not move were full of holes.
No one knew what he was thinking.
But everyone knows that his days in this team should not be long!
The score was finally locked at 2:1, and the veteran Sheri scored a face-saving goal with a header in the 92nd minute of the game. Nothing has changed other than to prove his worth and the tireless efforts of the players.
The cold December wind blew from the Rhine and whistled across the court, chilling many hearts.
ββββ
Can you hold on?
Friedel himself did not know.
The cynicism of the media shows their down-to-earth side. Just like the sedan chair carrying people, the wall is also what they are best at.
The starting point is different, and all contradictions, confrontations, and the past will be used to confirm their own views one by one. If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, not to mention, there are enough black spots on his body.
Needless to say, Friedel's future and the future of this team are the real focus of discussion.
Chairman Kuntz is a generous person, and he clearly understands Friedel's previous situation without rice, at least in terms of face, in public, he still gave him enough support.
But this time, it didn't work.
Kaiserslautern is not his private property. The support of the fans is the most important motivation for this team to keep it running. He can ignore the criticism of the media, but he can't be responsible for the fans who join the membership.
In fact, it stands to reason that the record of 4 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at this stage is not embarrassing, and it is a little reckless to fire the coach at this time. But if you analyze it carefully, the situation becomes clear.
The record is earned by the players desperately, but it is the head coach Friedel who is holding back!
Slow to react, too rigid or too risky in tactics, not generous enough to the players, and no confidence in the future of the team
If this is a team without heart, it will be so-so to survive until the end of the season.
But they are Kaiserslautern, the Red Devils who once laughed proudly in the Bundesliga!
How can it be tolerated! (To be continued......)
