Chapter 393: New Coach

On Monday morning, the whole Bayern team came to the training base on Sebena Avenue for a joint practice.

The rumors of the head coach's departure made everyone's eyes full of confusion and doubt.

When they found that An Fat, who had always arrived early, did not take a leisurely walk on the court, they immediately felt bad.

Captain Manuel Neuer and vice-captain Muller were also not on the pitch, and the seriousness of the matter speaks for itself.

When it was almost time to practice, another assistant coach of the team, Sagnol, with the support of the captain and vice captain, walked over.

Sagnol, who played for Bayern Munich for nine years, has won many honours with the team, including the Champions League.

After retiring, he successively served as the head coach of France U21 and French team Bordeaux.

He then joined the Bayern academy as an assistant coach.

After Carlo Ancelotti took over the team, he became his assistant.

He has a good reputation in the team and helps Carlo Ancelotti with some trivial matters.

Looking at his solemn and majestic appearance as a manager, the players have already guessed in their hearts.

After gathering all the staff, Sagnol slowly spoke: "Before I start training, I will convey two things. ”

"First of all, I'm sorry to tell you that Carlo Ancelotti is no longer the head coach of the team and that I am currently in charge of the team's training and games for the time being.

Although he had been mentally prepared, when he heard the news of An Fat's dismissal, the player couldn't help but sigh.

Sagnol pressed down with his right hand, signaled to be quiet, and continued: "The second thing is that we have the next two games. ”

'It's not in good shape at the moment, we have to win the league and the Champions League.

"We're all professionals, now is not the time to be sentimental, and winning is what we should do."

After a brief speech, Sagnol motioned to the team's captain and vice captain with his eyes and asked them to lead the team in training.

Compared with the relaxed training environment of Anpan, Sagnol still requires the players to maintain high-intensity sports in weekday training to improve the players' concentration on the game.

Although he admired An Fat, he disagreed with his training style.

When the players are in a low mood, they can't let go of their lazy training on weekdays.

The day's training went reasonably well and the players didn't have a lot of negativity, giving Sagnol confidence for the future.

After returning to the villa, Bayern's official statement was finally released.

Ancelotti out of class!

Professionals believe that Bayern's dismissal of Ancelotti is too impatient.

Any team will have a period of slump, and the dismissal of a coach who has just led the team to the "five crowns" without a win in six games is unheard of in any club at the moment.

Even Real Madrid, which has always liked to change coaches, was shocked when they learned the news.

The club manager even said in an interview with the media that Ancelotti should be respected enough.

The implication is that Bayern are in too much of a hurry to sack Ancelotti, at least until the winter break or the end of the season.

This decision is very likely to affect the upcoming Club World Cup.

After Carlo Ancelotti's dismissal, several of Bayern's veteran players publicly supported him.

The contradiction between Bayern and Carlo Ancelotti is not just a one-sided reason for poor results.

The development of events is far from over, and just 24 hours after Ancelotti left class, the German media broke the news again.

Rossi is not renewing his contract with Bayern.

The media believes that as one of Ancelotti's "cronies", Rossi's non-renewal of his contract is a silent protest against the club.

But this is groundless speculation by the media after all, and Bayern's top management has not made any response on this matter.

The clock was fast approaching the weekend, and Bayern were travelling away to take on Wolfsburg.

Sagnol made some changes to his line-up, putting Boateng, who had returned from injury, in the starting line-up, with Franck Ribery starting in place of Koeman.

He believes that Jule's ability is commendable, but his ability to play the ball at the back is not as good as Boateng's, which will affect the team's speed when switching from defense to attack.

As for Franck Franck Ribery, Sagnol needs his influence and dressing room status to keep the morale of the army.

"Boss, is that okay?"

Assistant Larry Ellison whispered, "Wouldn't that displease the higher-ups?" ”

The dissatisfaction in Larry's mouth refers to Rossi's placement in the starting position.

As an insider, of course he knew some gossip, but he didn't put it on the stage, and he didn't dare to say more.

Sagnol sneered and sneered: "Whatever, I'm not a fucking senior leader, I'm just a coach." ”

After the start of the game, Bayern's attack was fast-paced, and after the midfield was simply overdone, it went straight to Ribery on the wing.

Ribery shook the defence and crossed to find Lewandowski in front of goal, which is also one of Bayern's usual wing tactics.

Unlike Carlo Ancelotti's tactics, Bayern do not need to possess too much in midfield, but instead use a strong forward line to settle battles quickly.

It's also the attacking football that Bayern fans love.

Although Carlo Ancelotti was in charge, the team's total number of goals in a season was quite large.

But it's still the balance of offense and defense in the bones, and it's easy for fans to get caught up in lethargic passes.

As a Bayern legend, the first thing Sagnol has to do is to develop attacking football.

In the 28th minute, Bayern finally found an opportunity in the continuous siege.

Thiago took a corner kick to the back post, and Hummels at the front post rubbed a header, changed the flight trajectory, and was headed into the goal by Lewandowski at the back post.

After taking the lead, the morale of the whole Bayern team was high, and near the end of the first half, Lewandowski scored again.

The two-goal lead away from home shows fans that Bayern are recovering step by step under the command of the interim manager.

But in the second half, the situation on the pitch began to change.

Wolfsburg coach Labadia began to intensify the scramble on the flanks to disrupt Bayern's attacking rhythm.

If it's Koeman or Retona on the wing, it doesn't have much impact.

But the aging Ribery, where can the body withstand the impact of the Wolfsburg defenders, Bayern's attack was suddenly paralyzed.

While Sagnol was thinking about what to do, Wolfsburg launched a counter-attack through a tackle from the back, and high school striker Weghorst headed home a goal to pull a goal back.

Subsequently, Wolfsburg began to tackle more aggressively, pressing the midfield, making Bayern's backline frequently threatened for a while.

Although Sagnol made personnel adjustments and tried to regain the initiative.

But the loss of momentum in the midfield made it difficult to take the first place.

On the contrary, Wolfsburg launched several threatening attacks during this period through a midfield tackle.

It was only with the cooperation of Hummels and Boateng that they barely held on to the slight advantage of this goal.

The game entered the 80th minute, and the loss of control in the midfield forced Bayern to attack from the back.

Boateng struck a through ball through all three of Wolfsburg's defences.

Rossi, who was invisible throughout the game, after successfully countering offside, ran to the penalty area with the ball, faked two consecutive shots and real dunks, shook the defenders, and scored the ball.

This goal stabilized the morale of the army like timely rain.

In the end, Bayern won away from home.

The debut of the Frenchman Sagnol showed the fans his coaching level, and he was more than passionate, but his ability to adjust on the spot was terrible.

With his ability, he cannot be the head coach of Bayern for the time being.

Bayern will have to continue to search for a new manager.

Two days later, sporting director Salihamidzic announced that the club had found a new manager.

It is the meritorious coach who once led Bayern to win the treble and has retired.

Joseph Heynckes.
