vs 251 Heathfield
Is this Bayern?
Looking at the team in front of him, Li Bin squinted his eyes, looked at each of them, and couldn't help but praise a few times in his heart: A big family is a big family, this season has fallen to this point, and the players are still so drooling.
Bayern's goalkeeper is the veteran Kahn, this season, he is already very old, but he is still Bayern's main goalkeeper, and his ability is still unquestionable.
At the back, it was Lahm, Sagnol, Lucio and Van Bitten. These people seem to be world-level defenders, but the effect of putting them together is not very good.
Lahm is playing left-back at this time: Lahm is a player who has always been able to play both left and right, so much so that later Bayern fans like to say: Who is the first full-back depends on which side Lahm plays - in fact, which side Lahm plays has little to do with the top three full-backs. At right-back, there are McCann, Alves, Ramos and others, and he doesn't have much of a share. On the left back, he can rank in the top ten is almost the same: the defender player supports the attack, more or relies on long passes, supplemented by small cooperation, the right-footed player plays the left back, the attack effect cannot be good, and his physical fitness determines that his defense is not much better, no matter how good the ball quotient is, it is also very limited, and later shines at Bayern, to a greater extent because there are excellent wingers in front of him to cooperate, not how strong he is.
And Sagnol is now old, and when facing an opponent with excellent physical fitness, it is easy to be unable to eat, and the old man defender is in big trouble after being beaten, and Sagnol's problem is also prominent. In terms of central defenders, Lucio and Van Bitten, the central defenders, are too similar, they are both strong, they are both tall, and they both have the heart of a striker.
In midfield, Schweinsteiger is on the left, Van Bommel and Hargreaves in the middle, and Salihamidzic on the right. This one midfielder can only be described as a mess. Hargreaves wants to leave, Van Bommel does not fit in, Schweinsteiger on the wing has no bright spots except for long-range shots, and Salihamidzic has also fallen sharply and has announced the end of the season to Juventus.
And in their forward line, it is Mackay and Pizarro. These are also the two most anticipated players for Bayern this season, and they have made a contribution to Bayern that most players have struggled to do, so to speak, Bayern's thighs now - although neither of them has been awarded contract extensions.
The thighs are all at this level, so you can know their strength. No wonder Ballack's contract expired, he tried his best to leave at the expense of his reputation at home, such Bayern is indeed not the material for winning the championship.
While Li Bin was looking at Bayern, Heathfield, who was standing on the side of the field, was also looking at the Parma players.
Although I have watched it many times in the video, really good players must be seen on the court to be able to see the strength.
Parma's players are very good in Heathfield's opinion: Heathfield himself likes excellent center forwards and tall midfielders, and now on the pitch, both Crespo and Cavani are his favorite center forwards, looking at their body and skills, they can make Heathfield envious. In the midfield, the tall figures of Yaya Toure and Motta cannot be seen in the video, and it is surprising to see the real person: it is not easy to have skills with such a tall figure. And look at the backline, Agger's skills are outstanding, Zabaleta and Barzaretti are very well-rounded players, and Parma's entire team is tall and has excellent skills, which makes Heathfield also look at them very excited.
Their players are really good...... It's just that I hope they don't play well in this game.
The game has begun with the whistle, and the rhythm of the two sides is not fast, and they are both passing the ball in their own half to stabilize the situation, such an attitude makes Li Bin quite satisfied.
Their mentality made Li Bin very satisfied: the opponent is not particularly strong, and Parma has suffered a big blow, so at this time, it is very important not to be arrogant or impatient, and to deal with it calmly.
And the reason why it is said that the opponent is not strong is also the result of his research on Heathfield and the current Bayern for a period of time.
Heathfield is the legendary coach of Bayern, it can be said that he and Ferguson, Bosque together cast the coach of the three strong teams at the turn of the century, and at that time, Ferguson and Manchester United can be said to be the last in terms of strength, limited by the overall environment of the Premier League, although Manchester United won the 99 Champions League, it is undeniable that the strength is the worst among the three. And Heathfield's Bayern was the European boss at that time - it's just that the European boss was unlucky, he led the whole field in the 99 final, the Champions Cup was already wrapped with a black ribbon, and the UEFA president set off from the stands to go down to present the award, which was equalized by Manchester United. I thought it was going to be extra time, but the UEFA president had just returned to the stands, and Bayern was killed...... In that incident, Manchester United became famous, but Bayern was miserable. In 2000, Bayern and Real Madrid played four games and won three games, beating their opponents twice in the group stage, but in the two key knockout games, Anelka scored home and away goals and was finally eliminated, and Anelka scored only four goals in that season, two to Bayern and one to Barcelona......
The reason for this luck is actually related to Heathfield's tactics. Although Heathfield's results are very good, but to put it bluntly, his tactics are not particularly profound, he uses high-quality counterattacks, targeting the opponent's soft underbelly, attacking from the middle, and relying on the center to complete the attack. His team, first, will not ask for the field, and there are many times when the opponent presses the whole game, but the Bayern players at that time have a strong personality, will not collapse easily, are used to playing against the wind, and can always win - there are times when they can't win, such as 99 - He is a big expert in defense, but he is not very good at the deduction of real offensive routines. In fact, until 2010, he was still playing defensive counter-attacking tactics, and in the 2010 World Cup, the only Switzerland that beat Spain was the team he coached, and the style of play was still impregnable. In this regard, he has been immersed in it for a long time, and it can be said that he is familiar with it. Moreover, in addition to the ability to build tactics, his on-the-spot command is also superb, and he can always command beautiful game offense and defense. If you want to find a similar person to compare, he can be said to be a slightly less lucky, gentler temper and comparable Mourinho.
It is true that he is indeed a great manager, but his greatness is more because he dared to be the first to use the four-back tactics in Bayern, canceling the tradition that Bayern had to play scavengers, and leading Bayern to a big step, plus he had Kahn, Effenberg, Lizarazu, Sauer and other extremely strong-tempered players at that time, forming Bayern's most classic generation of iron army.
If such a coach had taken over the team since the summer, maybe Li Bin would have a headache now, but Heathfield took over the team in the winter, two months ago to be exact. How much can you make a difference to the team by accepting the team during the winter break? Li Bin himself has the experience of taking over during the winter break, he knows the difficulty, as a firefighting coach, the biggest problem is to pinch a team that is difficult to win the championship in the short term, and secondly, through the adjustment of the team to get some improvement, it is best to leave a direction that can be improved. It's too difficult to really expect results to be produced that year. Li Bin only won the League Cup after taking over halfway, but Heathfield is the Champions League.
Moreover, Li Bin looked for the Bayern games in the past two months to take a look, and his biggest feeling is that Heathfield has indeed brought some mental changes to the team, and it is also extremely good in terms of adaptability, but in terms of tactical changes, Heathfield has been lackluster.
But this is also normal, Heathfield was originally a firefighting instructor, and he didn't have to make drastic reforms when he was full. In the final analysis, this matter is that Bayern's management has nothing to do, knowing that there are many problems with Magath's habits, they have to poach him to Bayern, and they poached themselves in the same league and they are half paralyzed, Bayern is also a miracle.
However, this also makes this game a rather strange situation. Before the game, Li Bin was uncharacteristically sprayed in the media, and people who didn't know how to do it would even think that Magath and him were close friends, and Bayern's side also responded immediately, Hoeness, as the chairman of the club, went into battle shirtless, and Li Binyao scolded each other, looking very excited, as if the two sides were enemies of life and death.
Then, when they met on the playing field, the two sides chose to shrink and defend? Watching such a game, almost all the media scolded the sky in their hearts in the same way: Are you worthy of the disgusting game scene we gave you a lot of pre-game saliva? And Li Bin, what's the matter with you? When he played Arsenal, he had sweet words, and Kwavianger's words did not stop, but when he played football, he attacked two wild games, and Arsenal couldn't get off the stage. This game sprayed so badly before the game, I thought you were holding back to amplify your moves, why did you defend and counterattack? Is there any credibility in your words?
"If the game is played like this, it will be too boring, could it be that Coach Li Bin wants to grind Bayern to death by swallowing water like this? I can understand that they just played a big game in the league, maybe a little tired, but no matter how tired they are, it's too dangerous to play like this, if they don't come down at home, it's even more difficult to go to the Allianz Arena away, the opponent is Bayern, not Messina, you can't win if you play like this. ”
In fact, Li Bin, who was on the sidelines of the arena, also knew this.
According to his pre-match arrangement, the original idea was to rely on a quick counterattack, allowing Arshavin and Rossi, relying on their speed, to storm the back of their opponent Sagnol. Sagnol is a bit older and the opposition backline has a bad habit of plugging in, Li Bin believes that relying on speed to play a quick counter-attack with them is the best way to do it.
However, Rossi was injured and the idea couldn't be played. Cavani is not necessarily slower than Rossi, but his passing strategy and game experience are much worse, not a level, and Li Bin's tactics are nullified.
In three days, Li Bin didn't have the ability to do new tactics, so on the question of what to do, he could only take out a set of tactics that he had used before.
But is it possible to do so? Li Bin didn't know what to do, but now, if he didn't gamble, what could he do?
