49 The era of the strongman is over!

Barcelona's legendary president Nunez has stepped down!

This is definitely seismic news in world football.

When Yang Hao received the news, he was stunned for a moment, he knew that Nunez would step down this year, but the time was advanced.

In his previous life, Nunez should have stepped down at the end of this season, but now, because of successive defeats to Atletico Madrid and the turmoil in the dressing room this season, Nunez finally can't bear it.

According to media reports, the reason why Nunez stepped down early is that the opposition, that is, the president of Barcelona's Blue Elephant fan club, Laporta, and Barcelona legend Cruyff and others have exerted tremendous pressure on the management.

Speaking of which, Nunez and Cruyff can be regarded as hating because of love.

Since 1978, he has been the president of Barcelona, Nunez can be said to be the number one contributor to the rise of Barcelona, Cruyff and others have also been his inseparable comrades-in-arms, and even the dream team coached by Cruyff has been fully supported by Nunez.

It wasn't until the 5-0 defeat to Valdano's Real Madrid that Cruyff had to step down.

Later, there was some turmoil at Barcelona and Nunez always wanted to bring Louis van Gaal, who had managed well at Ajax, to Camp Nou, but the whole world knew that Cruyff and Van Gaal had a terrible relationship.

Nunez's relationship with Cruyff broke down after Louis van Gaal's tenure at Barcelona, and Cruyff switched to the president of the opposition Blue Elephant fan club, Joan Laporta, who was just starting out and needed a name like Cruyff.

The trigger for the incident was after Barcelona's defeat to Atletico Madrid, with Catalan media revealing that the Blue Elephant fan club was organising a huge protest ceremony scheduled for the 36th round of La Liga against Rayo Vallecano.

There was nothing special about the game, but the Camp Nou will hold a huge anniversary party for the 22nd anniversary of Nunez's election as Barcelona president.

This season has long been criticized, facing a wave of pressure, if he is turned against by his own fans on the anniversary, it will definitely become the laughing stock of the world, so Nunez couldn't bear it and decided to step down early.

Vice-president Gaspart will serve as interim president until the end of the season, when Barça hold a general election to elect a new president.

The strongman who has ruled Barcelona for 22 years has finally fallen!

Yang Hao is more emotional, because this means that the era of football strongmen in Spain is completely over!

In the next few years, the era of European football strongmen will also come to an end.

Barcelona's Nunez, Real Madrid's Mendoza, and Atletico Madrid's old Hill are all football strongmen, and they can all rely on their personal authority to lead a club to overcome obstacles and create great achievements.

But times have changed.

The era of the strongman is no longer in line with the current historical trend.

Real Madrid's president, Sanz, is a descendant of Mendoza, but after he took office, he was unable to reverse the situation from the Mendoza period to the present, Real Madrid's finances have been weakening day by day, and the debt has been rising.

The same can be said of Barcelona's Nunez, as well as Atletico Madrid's old Hill.

Under the rule of the strongman, the club is the president's hall, which is carried out and operated in full accordance with the will of the president.

This used to work very efficiently for some time, but now, it's obviously not fun.

Let's talk about financial management.

Do you know how outrageous Atletico's financial management is?

There is not even the most basic cash flow management, and financial management is a mess.

Is this the case for the Atletico family?

No, says Hill Jr., including Real Madrid and Barcelona, and even the whole of La Liga.

Yang Hao talked to Little Hill before and told him one thing, that is, around the 95/96 season, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, the top three in La Liga, were actually similar to Premier League teams and even Manchester United, and their commercial income was almost the same.

But in the past few years, Manchester United's commercial income has grown by leaps and bounds, what about La Liga?

Yang Hao asked him, "Don't we have marketing for Atletico Madrid?" ”

Little Hill asked in reverse, "What do you want that thing for?" ”

Yes, that's the current situation in La Liga, even if it's teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Mendoza, Nunez, Sanz, Old Hill and others are all people who belong to the last century, and in their world, what else does football need marketing?

Sponsors?

Didn't they all come to the door on their own initiative?

In this way, the club still likes to ignore it.

Do you know what that means?

It's that I want to earn your money, and I want to be your father, you have to kneel and send me money!

Have you ever seen such a bullish pen BB?

But this is the mainstream of La Liga, and indeed the whole of European football.

This is very similar to a friend of Yang Hao in his previous life, he is a skilled craftsman, his salary is more expensive than others, his work is more lazy and slower, and his high emotional intelligence is called slow work and meticulous work.

It stands to reason that there are many customers who pursue high quality who will look for him, but if you look for him to work, he always likes to answer and ignore, as if there is never a shortage of work to do, but in fact?

Once, he came to Yang Hao to chat, and a customer called halfway, saying that there was a job for him and asked him to go over and take a look, but he told the customer that he was busy with a certain project and would go back in a few days.

What's the most outrageous?

After hanging up the phone, he turned his head and complained to Yang Hao: "The economy is in recession these years, there is too little life, and life is not easy.

Yang Hao almost didn't resist the urge to do it.

Today's European clubs are exactly the same as Yang Hao's friend.

In their traditional impression, it should be the world's money that takes the initiative to kneel and rush to send it to them, without them taking the initiative to go out to find money.

And behind this whole set of thinking logic, the most critical thing is the strongman.

The more powerful you are, the more you like to monopolize power, and the monopoly of power often means that you must bow down to everything, and once the direction is wrong, the more you must bow to yourself, it often means that you are doing more and more wrong, and the more you manage, the more chaotic.

This is a big taboo in the modern enterprise management system!

The most interesting thing is that Nunez's successor, Gaspate, has been vice president for 22 years and is known as the best vice president Barça has ever seen, but that is the vice president under strongman Nunez.

Suddenly, one day, the mountain that weighed on his head disappeared, and he turned into the strongman he once looked up to, and Gaspart suddenly couldn't do anything and became the worst president Barcelona has ever seen.

This is the failure of the club's management system.

Even in 2023, Barcelona has not yet established a mature and stable modern management system.

Real Madrid seems to be stable and modern, but that is based on the premise that Florentino is still in power, and when Florentino retires, who can say for sure?

……

Although Nunez is gone, Barca's nightmare continues.

In the 36th round of fixtures at the weekend, Barcelona lost 2-0 at home to Rayo Vallecano, and Van Gaal's sacking was a foregone conclusion.

However, Deportivo La Coruna did not show the momentum of a strong team, drawing 2-2 at home to Zaragoza, and is currently six points ahead of Barcelona, but in theory there is still a suspense in the title race.

Real Madrid lost 1-0 at home to Alaves.

So much so that some people say that the race for the La Liga title this season is like rookies pecking at each other.

Of course, a little bit of high emotional intelligence, this is called fierce competition.

On the second match day of the 36th round, Yang Hao led Atletico Madrid, which had been preparing for a week, to challenge Real Orvieto away.

Yang Hao still discharged the 4231 tactics that were becoming more and more mature, and still used high-position pressing and oppression.

Aragonés also adopted his best 442 tactics, and the home team was dominated by defensive counter-attacks.

But Yang Hao did not play conservatively, but insisted on pressing and pressing in his high position, took the initiative to press out, put pressure on Real Orvieto, and suppressed the opponent with a dignified strength advantage.

Especially against the midfielders of Real Oviedo.

The four midfielders are all about 1.75 meters tall, and their confrontation ability is weak, Yang Hao focused on strangling Oviedo's midfielder when he deployed tactics before the game, and at the same time let Belleron and others control the midfield and ball possession.

From the very beginning of the game, Oviedo was very embarrassed and had to retreat to his own half and struggle to hold on.

But they only lasted 27 minutes.

Capdevilla then plugged in, received a knock near the bottom line of Solari, burst into the left side of the penalty area, and hit the goal with his feet, opening the scoring for Atletico Madrid, 1-0!

After that, Atletico continued to attack and continued to chase Oviedo.

The strength level occupies an advantage, the tactical level is a dimensionality reduction strike, coupled with the run-in and consecutive wins in the past few rounds, Atletico Madrid can be described as strong and morale is like a rainbow.

Just five minutes later, after winning the ball in the middle, Belleron turned to get rid of the defender and sent a through ball that Hasselbaink burst into the box and fired a furious shot into Real Oviedo's goal.

It was the Dutchman's 28th La Liga goal of the season!

The first half ended with a two-goal lead from Atletico.

After the rematch in the second half, Yang Hao adjusted the team's tactical play, and the whole retreated to near the middle line again.

This is also fully considering the physical exertion of the team.

With the current lineup configuration of Atletico Madrid's players, as well as their physical condition, they can't support the high-level tactics of the whole game at all, so they should retreat appropriately, let Oviedo press out, and then counterattack back.

It's not a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy.

Aragonés' team is also aiming for relegation, even if they know that this is a trap for Atletico Madrid, they have to choose to press out.

Real Orviedo's fighting spirit is not exuberant, and the players' enthusiasm in the game is not bad, but when facing Atletico Madrid after retreating, Orviedo's players really can't come up with an effective solution.

In this team, there is not even a star who can read the name.

As a result, the game was intense, with Real Oviedo playing fiercely, but in reality, there was little threat to the attack, let alone a direct threat to Atletico's goal.

It can be said that this is the most stable game played by Yang Hao since he coached Atletico Madrid, and it is also the most suspenseful game.

Whether it is tactics or player strength, they all crush Real Orviedo.

So much so that even if he won, Yang Hao didn't react too excitedly on the sidelines.

On the contrary, it was Aragonés in the coach's seat of the home team, who was a little confused.

He had never seen a football like this!
