"Do you want to be the king of football?"
"Yes!"
Su Dong embarks on a journey to become the king of football!
Chapter 654: Su Dong, you are such a nosy brat!
It was late at night, and Sebena Street seemed to be asleep.
After Su Dong finished his meal with his teammates, he found that something was left at the training base, so he immediately took Pepe's car back to get it.
He asked Pepe to park the car on the side of the road while he went in to get his things.
To his surprise, the lights were still on in the head coach's office in the practice building.
After getting his things from the gym, Su Dong hesitated for a moment when passing by the head coach's office when he was leaving the gym, but finally walked over.
The door was not closed, and it was obvious that Heynckes had not expected that there would be anyone there.
Old Man Hai was sitting in front of the computer, seemingly looking at some information. Next to him was a tactical board with some chess pieces with jersey numbers on it. This was obviously intended to help him deduce the tactical direction of the game at any time.
There was a bottle of wine next to the computer on the desk, and a half-filled glass of red wine with ice cubes in it.
Heynckes was so focused that he didn't hear Su Dong's footsteps until he knocked twice on the door. Then old man Hai was surprised to see him.
"Hey, Su, why aren't you leaving yet so late?" Heynckes stood up.
"Come back to get something." Su Dong walked in with a smile.
"Have you just finished having dinner with them?" Heynckes asked again.
Su Dong nodded, "Yes, everyone is asking, why didn't you go?"
Heynckes smiled and said, "I'm old now and don't like to eat out that much."
It was only then that Su Dong suddenly realized that although Heynckes' face was always rosy, and sometimes even as red as if he had high blood pressure, his hair had become completely white. He had indeed aged a lot in the more than two years that he coached Bayern.
I don’t really feel it at ordinary times!
…
As the team's top star, Su Dong often organizes team-building activities and invites his teammates to eat, drink and have fun.
Of course, people like Marcelo, Ribery and Pepe can always help him find a reason to treat others with a clear conscience.
Everyone knows that these are just excuses. The main reason is that Su Dong wants to take this opportunity to build good relationships with his teammates.
In this regard, Su Dong was very generous.
Kicker magazine previously made a special issue for Su Dong, analyzing some of Su Dong's things in Bayern, such as how he often gave gifts to his teammates, coaching staff and staff during festivals, how he often treated his teammates to dinner, and other big and small things, Su Dong was very generous.
When he was at Barcelona, I heard that he even lent money to Messi and Iniesta to buy villas.
Also because Su Dong is good at building good relationships with his teammates, he is popular in the team.
Tonight, he is treating us again to celebrate the team's advancement to the semi-finals.
It was said to be a team building activity, but in fact, Su Dong was the one who paid the bill.
It's just that Heynckes didn't go.
After Su Dong came in, his eyes naturally fell on the tactical board next to Heynckes, on which the enemy and our lines were drawn in red and blue, as well as some troop deployments of the two sides.
Needless to say, the opponent must be Manchester United.
"Vidic has performed very well this season, and with the addition of Ferdinand, to be honest, it is not very wise to go against them directly." Su Dong frowned slightly when he saw that his number nine chess piece was placed between Manchester United's number five and fifteen.
Vidic has indeed performed very well this season. Many people even think that his performance is better than Ronaldo and he should be elected as the best player of the Premier League season. This is a great honor for a central defender.
Facing Vidic and Ferdinand, Su Dong is not afraid. He will know whether he can do it after competing on the field. After all, football is a sport that tests the player's on-the-spot performance more rather than his daily strength.
"You are right, Vidic played very well, but I think he is in trouble now, because Ferguson's rotation is more in the midfield and frontcourt, the back line has remained stable, and there is basically no rotation. In January, Ferdinand was injured for a period of time, and it was all thanks to Vidic's persistence that Manchester United made a comeback after the winter break."
What people talk about most about Manchester United this season is, of course, that from the 13th round to the 25th round, Manchester United's defense did not concede a single goal in the Premier League, and Van der Sar became famous because of this.
All this depends on the stability of the defense, and Vidic deserves credit for this.
The Premier League schedule is already very tight, and even more so during the winter break. Manchester United has insisted on fighting on multiple fronts, winning the League Cup, leading the Premier League, and reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup. The games are quite dense.
This will be a heavy burden for the players.
Bayern does not have this problem, because during the winter break, Bayern has more than a month of rest time. This is such a precious rest, enough to make all the Premier League teams envious.
Ronaldo has complained more than once that the lack of a winter break in the Premier League is simply a torture.
Beckenbauer once said that the strongest is often also the weakest.
What this means is that if you can suppress your opponent's strongest point, that strongest advantage will become your opponent's weakest disadvantage.
It's like playing against Bayern. If we have the ability to freeze Su Dong, Bayern's attack will be almost over.
Su Dong understood what Heynckes meant. He immediately walked to the tactical board and pulled the number nine chess piece back a little.
Heynckes on the side saw this and immediately laughed, "You think the same as I do. Don't fight Vidic and Ferdinand to the death. You have the advantage in speed, and you will be more threatening if you retreat."
"Carrick has a good sense of position, but he is physically weak. It's not a big problem. If it were veterans Scholes and Giggs..."
Before Su Dong finished speaking, Heynckes shook his head and said, "I guess Ferguson is also afraid. He will not let Scholes and Giggs play, but Anderson and Fletcher, or Park Ji-sung, and keep the two veterans as surprise troops."
"Both Fletcher and Anderson have problems. They run a lot and have a good positioning rate, but their positional sense is poor. As long as we have someone in front of them to tempt them with the ball, they will leave their positions."
"That's right!" Heynckes nodded with a smile.
The defensive central midfielder and the lying central midfielder seem to be only different in their positions, both of them are defending, but in fact the roles they play, or their tasks on the court are very different.
When playing as a defender, the most important thing is to protect the defense line. In other words, blocking the opponent's passing lines and blocking the opponent's position is his first priority. He is not even allowed to leave his own defensive area easily.
It is different for central midfielders. Even if they are defensive central midfielders, they need to run more actively, cover, and press the opponents.
Fletcher and Anderson are both central midfielders, and their typical role is to chase the ball, focusing more on coverage and pressure.
But there is a problem with this type of player, they can easily lose their position.
So Carrick is crucial at this time because he has a good sense of position and a long pass.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
If you look closely at Manchester United's playing time, it is not difficult to find that Carrick is the player Ferguson relies on most in midfield.
But unfortunately, Carrick's health is not good enough.
Originally, Ferguson brought in Owen Hargreaves because he wanted him to partner with Carrick to form a double defensive midfielder, but who would have known that Hargreaves would be seriously injured and miss this season.
Life is unpredictable!
"There is a question that I have not figured out." Su Dong suddenly asked.
Heynckes looked at Su Dong, as if curious, is there anything else you don’t understand?
In Old Man Hai's impression, Su Dong is really a very smart player with a very thorough understanding of tactics.
"Ronnie is my best friend. I always felt that he was not suitable for playing in the middle. He couldn't hold the ball, but why did Ferguson often put him in the middle?"
Heynckes couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this. "I thought it was a big problem, but it turns out to be this."
This season, Ferguson did often put Cristiano Ronaldo in the middle, so much so that the Portuguese complained many times that he was not suitable to play in the middle.
"Because Rooney is even less suitable to play in the middle, but Rooney has to play."
Su Dong was a little confused. Is that it?
Are we underestimating Ferguson?
"Don't overestimate Ferguson. Rooney is a pillar of England and has a huge influence, but his skills are too rough and he can't hold the ball in the middle. In fact, this is not just Rooney's problem. Look at the current Premier League. Arsenal can hold the ball because they have all foreign players. Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and even other teams, how many teams can hold the ball?"
"I even think that if Manchester United had Rooney, they might play more smoothly, but Ferguson didn't dare to do that because this is the rule of the game for Manchester United or the Premier League. Ferguson has been so successful in Manchester United and the Premier League for so many years because he knows how to use this set of rules."
"On the other hand, you can see that one day in the future, when Ferguson retires, no one will be able to play with the same group of players. Why? Because they don't understand the rules of the game of Manchester United and Ferguson."
After a pause, Heynckes said with admiration: "In fact, Ferguson has played very well. All four fronts are advancing simultaneously. To be honest, if he really wants to do it, he will win four championships!"
Su Dong never underestimated the difficulty of coaching a team, but after hearing Heynckes' analysis, he could fully imagine the difficulty of Ferguson coaching Manchester United, especially the difficulty of bringing Manchester United to the point where it is qualified to win the championship on four fronts today. This is absolutely hellish.
Thinking of this, his admiration for Ferguson deepened.
But unfortunately, as an opponent, whether for Bayern or for himself, he must defeat Manchester United.
"Okay, I see you are confident, so I'll go back." Su Dong smiled and waved his hand.
Ferguson is an old fox, and Heynckes is not much obedient either.
Both of them were very cunning and Su Dong looked like he was naked in front of them.
Heynckes was stunned for a moment and wanted to say, hey, I just said I was addicted, and I haven't told you my strategies and tactics against Manchester United yet, why are you leaving?
Damn, you're addicted to flirting with other people but don't listen to what they say. Are there any people like you?
Believe it or not, I'll let you be a substitute?
While he was complaining, Su Dong had already walked to the door and suddenly turned around, "You drank tonight, don't drive, I'll send you another box later!"
The bottle of wine on Heynckes' desk was given by Su Dong.
The Bayern Big Three, each of them has one.
"Also, I'm old and my stomach is not in good condition, so don't add ice!"
"Why do you care so much about me!" Heynckes cursed with a smile.
But before he could finish, Su Dong was gone.
This nosy brat!
