Chapter 176 The Head Coach's Sky Collapses
After Heynckes joined Bayern Munich for the second time, the club has been looking for a new head coach. Leverkusen, as the new Champions League champion last season, is now a hot commodity.
After a process of elimination, Waller was more interested in two people.
Benítez and Ancelotti.
One has been unemployed since being sacked by Inter Milan, and the other has just ended his contract with Chelsea.
The difference is that the two were chosen by Leverkusen for different reasons. Benítez took the initiative to apply for the job, while Ancelotti was chosen by Voller.
Both of them are coaches who had their moments of glory, but for Benítez who volunteered, the club was a little worried about his strange personality, while Ancelotti had just ended his career at Chelsea. After being fired by Abramovich, Ancelotti did not plan to find another job immediately. He wanted to take a rest first.
Yes, both of the players that Voller favored were fired.
However, Voller does not think there is anything wrong. Moratti and Abramovich are both more fond of sacking head coaches than the other. There must be problems with these two people, but they are not necessarily as outrageous as everyone says. It is well known that Abramovich has never had patience with head coaches, but in fact, Chelsea's failure to win any of the four major titles last season was more due to factors such as injuries, and the new player Torres was also in average form. Voller has his own judgment on whether the head coach is good or not.
As for Benítez, since the team is full of youngsters, Voller is really a little afraid that the way this genius speaks will cause him to fight with the youngsters on the court.
After much deliberation, Voller is more inclined to choose Ancelotti.
After a series of operations by the club, Leandri, who had just bought a car for Xiao Kuan today, hugged his boyfriend and read the article about Benítez in the newspaper, regretting that he could not coach Bayer Leverkusen, while seeing An Pangpang smiling and reaching an agreement with the club.
I'm scratching my head. The head coach has changed again. I don't know if this fat handsome Italian guy is easy to talk to, and whether the Bayer Leverkusen's locker room will be stable this season.
Speaking of the locker room, Leandri printed out a PDF he had compiled, with the first page reading "Die Dokumente sind streng vertraulich." (Secret document)
"Before returning to the team, you must read it word by word, and then write a 1,000-word review for me, analyzing the current situation and problems of your Ren Palace locker room and your feasible countermeasures. The writing should be fluent and profound, and the titles at all levels should be symmetrical." Leandri very seriously handed the secret history of Ren Palace, which Muller had been thinking about for a long time, to Xiao Kuan.
Cross: ... "I went there to play football, not to fight in the palace."
Leandri sneered, "Turn to page 5."
Xiao Kuan opened it and turned to the page as he said, and a few shocking big words came into his eyes.
"Summary of Fights on and off the Field at Bayern (Continuously Updated Version)"
The first line is about Kroos' current coach Heynckes fighting with Gerd Muller, and the latest update is that Muller was beaten by Robben at the beginning of the year...
"I wish I could go in your place. If anyone dares to hit you, I'll turn into the locker room god of war!"
Kroos thought for a long time but couldn't figure out a way to replace Bayern's main goalkeeper next season from Neuer to Leandri.
Yes, Bayern finally transferred Schalke's young captain. Adler suffered too many injuries and the club completely lost patience with him.
Leandri rolled over and wrapped himself in Kroos' arms, "Next season we'll be opponents. From now on I'll beat you to death on the court, and you'll beat me to death off the court. How about that?"
In response to such outrageous remarks, Xiao Kuan decided that no one should sleep tonight!
No matter how reluctant they are, the young couple still has to separate temporarily to talk about long-distance relationship. The Bundesliga has begun preparing for the new season.
Leandri went with the club's people to pick up Dasha. For his good brother, Leandri left his original house to him, and then drove Carvajal to do some shopping.
After Kroos left, Leandri didn't even want to ride a motorcycle anymore, after all, there were no hands around his waist that would hold him tightly.
On the first day back to the team, Voller came forward to introduce the new players and coaching staff who had transferred in this season.
Leandri stared at Ancelotti's different-sized eyes and called him adorable in his heart.
"Lian, why are you looking at me?" Fatty An had already noticed the burning gaze.
"Oh, I'm watching the coach of this season's Bundesliga champion." Without any embarrassment of being caught, Leandri became Ancelotti's favorite player in Bayer Leverkusen with just one sentence.
We can't say that Ryan Derry is flattering, because his words praised the entire team. This is called emotional value!
Da Bende and Da Sha think their good brothers are really awesome, and they would never say such high EQ words.
After returning to the team for a check-up, Leandri once again used the data to raise his status in Ancelotti's heart a little.
The two warm-up matches and team training before the start of the season gave Ancelotti a general understanding of the team's current situation. There is no need to worry too much about the forward line, and the midfield and backcourt are the most important. As luck would have it, Friedrich accidentally pulled a muscle during training, and An was forced to make arrangements on the back line.
A week before the official start of the German Cup, Leverkusen faced its last warm-up match opponent, Genk from Belgium.
During the warm-up, Leandri couldn't help but keep looking over there. It's hard to blame him, because Genk has a tall and thin goalkeeper who looks very well behaved, and a pink-faced boy, and the two seem to have a good relationship.
[bite! ]
What's wrong, Brother Tong?
[…Warm up seriously and don’t worry about other people’s relationships, okay? ]
Okay, after getting along with Brother Tong for so many years, he knew that these two would break up sooner or later, and maybe it would be a earth-shattering breakup.
The game officially started. The tall, tender and cheeky goalkeeper did not start. Instead, another pink one who looked like the protagonist in The Adventures of Tintin came on the field and gave Leandri several extremely threatening passes and shots.
At the end of the first half, Leverkusen led 2-0, with the tacit forward duo Kiessling and Deldiyok each scoring a goal.
During the half-time break, Leandri found out that the tall giraffe-like goalkeeper on the opposing team was just following the team. He had basically reached a transfer agreement with Chelsea and was about to leave.
In the second half, Anpan replaced all the players on the front line, with Sam and Schurrle coming on.
The two substitute forwards also gave everyone enough surprises today, scoring one goal each at the beginning and before the end of the game. Among them, Schurrle's goal before the end of the game was assisted by Leandri's long kick with resentment.
The reason was simple: he was scored a goal by that Ding Ding a few minutes ago.
"Is Ryan unhappy?" Assistant coach Davide is Ancelotti's son. As this guy really has no talent for playing football, he decisively retired in 2009. This time Ancelotti went to the Bundesliga to coach and put his son in the coaching team.
Ancelotti really wanted to reply, "What nonsense are you talking about? Which goalkeeper would be happy after scoring a goal?" But this man is his son after all, Ancelotti said helplessly, "Then you go and comfort him later."
David happily accepted this "hard job".
Little goalkeeper, I can’t bear to see you sad at all!
When the 90 minutes were over, Davide immediately unscrewed a bottle of sports drink from his feet and handed it to him, "The game is won, don't worry too much about that goal."
The Italians don't want to see the Chinese goalkeeper get angry. He appreciates this handsome face from the bottom of his heart.
"Your father is drinking secretly again." Leandri felt that he cared more about Ancelotti's physical condition than Ancelotti himself. Fatty Ancelotti was addicted to sweets, and the Spanish goalkeeper felt that he had to pay attention to his intake.
Sweets are delicious, but don’t eat too much!
"You have to keep an eye on your dad." Leandri put his arm directly on David. They were only one year apart in age and got along very well. Moreover, one of them is a hot-tempered Spaniard, and the other is a sweet-talking Italian, and they both like beautiful things very much. Within two days, the two quickly became good brothers.
"I asked you to look at your father, not Courtois." Leandri found that his good brother, the assistant coach, was staring at the handsome goalkeeper next to him.
“It’s really beautiful.”
Leandri couldn't help but take a few glances, "Grandma's Courtois is really good-looking."
[bite! ]
Uh, Brother Tong, I'm just here for appreciation, so let's not watch it anymore.
[No, just take a closer look. This guy will become very old in the future. ]
Leandri was very puzzled. How could a person change from being so cute to being a mature uncle? !
"I can't control my dad either. If you come, my dad will scold me, but he likes you very much?"
Leandri thought about it and agreed to the proposal, "Then tell me where your dad hides his snacks, and I'll talk to him next time."
"Why don't you steal them?"
Leandri just felt that Ancelotti really gave birth to a good son who always cared about his health, and nodded and agreed to the proposal.
After the game, Leandri did not exchange jerseys with his opponents, mainly because he found that the Belgian team had a feeling that could only be understood but not described.
After playing against Genk, Leverkusen’s warm-up matches are all over, and the first round of the German Cup is about to come.
On the first day after the warm-up match, Ancelotti gave everyone a happy review and then wandered around Leverkusen alone.
The day after the warm-up match, Ancelotti was very satisfied to see that his experimental defense line performed well in the team training.
On the third day after the warm-up match, Ancelotti went to Kuku to buy a lot of things during his break.
On the fourth day, the conscientious Ancelotti chatted with the first-team players one by one to understand their thoughts and interests.
Everything is going well and Ancelotti is very satisfied with Leverkusen.
Until the day before the first round of the German Cup, Ancelotti was opening the small refrigerator to eat something to replenish his energy. As soon as he opened it, the sky fell. . .
"Where are all my snacks and desserts?!"
