Chapter 621 Tonight, he will take revenge here!
Coaching a team is actually a very complex system project.
Fans often only see a small part of it.
In other words, it is just the tip of the iceberg exposed by the team, and there is more that is invisible beneath the surface.
It’s like after Bayern finished the battle at the Bernabeu, they returned to the Bundesliga and faced their ninth round opponent, Wolfsburg.
This is Bayern's home court. Wolfsburg's performance this season is not particularly good and is currently ranked fifth in the Bundesliga. Bayern is still confident of defeating their opponent at home.
At the same time, Bayern's schedule is quite tight.
After returning from the Bernabeu, after playing against Wolfsburg at the weekend, there is the tenth round of the Bundesliga in the middle of the week, the eleventh round at the weekend, and then the fourth round of the group stage against Real Madrid. The schedule is quite tight and will not leave Bayern any chance to breathe.
In such a dense schedule, the team must definitely make appropriate rotations.
More importantly, although the Bayern locker room appears to be harmonious on the surface, in fact, many players are already complaining.
For example, Podolski performed well in the European Cup and got a chance after returning to Bayern. But with the comeback of Ribery and Robben, he became a substitute and it was difficult for him to get playing time, so he frequently complained to Heynckes.
It had even been hinted in the German media that Heynckes was unwilling to give him a chance.
And Rensing.
After his poor performance against Werder Bremen, he was indeed questioned by a wave of people. Heynckes then let him start again in the German Cup, but Neuer was the main player in the next few games.
This can certainly be said to be due to Neuer's outstanding performance, but in Rensing's view, he has not lost yet, he just got less game time, so his agent put pressure on the media, believing that Bayern should give Rensing more game time and be more tolerant of him.
In fact, even within the team, such voices are quite common.
Podolski and Rensing are just representatives. There are other players in the team who are also eager to get a chance, such as Demichelis, Van Bommel, Van Buyten and so on.
If a team wants to continue fighting, a strong bench is essential. How to coordinate the playing time of the main players and substitutes is a profound knowledge that tests the head coach.
This is why many people say that coaching is actually an art of management.
…
Against Wolfsburg, former Bayern coach Magath returned to the Allianz Arena.
He frequently provoked before the game, hoping to take advantage of Bayern's distraction in the Champions League and deal a fatal blow to Bayern away from home.
Heynckes took into account the upcoming schedule and the mood of the players in the locker room and immediately rotated the team.
Podolski started the game, partnering with Klose to form a double striker formation. Van Bommel, Demichelis and others also started the game, while Rensing replaced Neuer as goalkeeper.
This is actually also to examine the status and performance of the substitute players.
Bayern's substitute players did perform very hard and played very diligently on the field. They cherished this hard-earned opportunity and wanted to prove their strength at the Allianz Arena.
But sometimes we try too hard and the results are not good.
In the first thirty minutes, Bayern took the initiative on the field and put pressure on Wolfsburg.
But in the 31st minute, Wolfsburg midfielder intercepted Van Bommel's pass and launched a quick counterattack. Dzeko received the ball and broke into the penalty area, but was tackled from the side and back by Demichelis and knocked down in the penalty area.
The referee awarded the penalty without hesitation.
The entire Allianz Arena was filled with boos! Grafite scored the first goal for Wolfsburg.
Unexpectedly, just two minutes later, Japanese midfielder Makoto Hasebe made a cross from the right, and Dzeko headed the ball into the goal in the penalty area, scoring another goal for Wolfsburg.
In less than three minutes, Wolfsburg scored two goals!
Magath was so excited that he rushed out of the coaching seat, raised his hands high, cheered loudly, and expressed his inner excitement.
He left Bayern in defeat, and tonight, he wants to take revenge here! ...
Su Dong sat on the bench, secretly laughing at Magath's somewhat inappropriate celebration in front of the visiting team's coaching booth.
How frustrated must he be to be so excited?
From what Su Dong knew, it seemed that Bayern's players were more frustrated than him, right? They were trained so hard by him, but they suffered a lot and achieved no results.
Now, he came back and scored two goals, so he thought he had avenged himself? But looking at the Bayern players on the field, Su Dong also felt angry.
Needless to say, Klose is not best at scoring goals.
Podolski likes to complain, but he was allowed to play in this game, how was his performance? And Rensing, the first goal was Demichelis's mistake, and it was not his fault that he did not save the penalty, but the second goal was definitely his responsibility, Dzeko's header near the penalty spot, he did not even react at all.
It can be said that in the first half alone, Bayern's substitute players did not show the ability to challenge the main players.
After conceding two goals in a row, Bayern's performance still did not improve.
Ribery seemed a little alone on the left.
Of course, Su Dong is not blaming the substitute players. After all, some of them have not started for a long time and their condition cannot be guaranteed. It is normal for them to complain after being on the bench for a long time.
I can only say that Bayern's rotation tonight was a failure.
If they continue to play like this, Magath might really be able to take away three points.
…
During the half-time break, Su Dong, Robben and other teammates were warming up and training on the field.
This also represents a signal that Heynckes does not intend to make substitutions during the half-time break.
To a certain extent, Heynckes was telling the starting players that he still believed in them and hoped that they could perform well and show their true level in the second half, preferably to reverse the opponent.
On the contrary, the fans in the stands of Allianz Arena seemed very anxious. During the half-time break, many people were shouting Su Dong's name.
"I guess the fans must be anxious at this moment. Hey, Su, why haven't you played yet?" Robben said with a smile. He has now completely accepted the reality that Su Dong is Bayern's number one superstar.
Whether it is in terms of game performance, team role, or off-court value, he cannot compare to Su Dong.
If he didn't admit it, what else could he do? Su Dong was also amused, pretending to be regretful and sighing: "The opponent is too weak, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken!"
Robben and the Bayern players around him also laughed.
This is indeed a joke, but to some extent, Su Dong really stands out in the Bundesliga.
To exaggerate a little, he really didn't encounter any challenges here.
The best defender in the Bundesliga is in Bayern. In other teams, which central defender can trap Su Dong?
Not to mention one person, many times even two central defenders together find it difficult to defend Su Dong.
Neither Ferdinand nor Vidic could contain Su Dong, and it was even more difficult for other central defenders in the Bundesliga.
…
After the second half, Heynckes made appropriate adjustments in the midfield. Bayern launched a wave of attacks but failed to create threatening shooting opportunities, which made the scene seem a bit dull.
The Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena also began to get restless and became agitated.
It's obvious that Magath came here to seek revenge, but now they want him to leave in triumph?
If they really do this, where will Bayern's face be in the future? Also, even if Bayern plays with a substitute lineup, in fact, these substitutes are only in Bayern. If they are thrown to other Bundesliga teams, even to Wolfsburg, wouldn't they be the main players?
The result is good, being bullied like this at home? The restless fans began to make noises and even shouted Su Dong's name, obviously putting pressure on Heynckes, hoping that he would make substitutions as soon as possible.
At this point, it doesn't matter whether it's killing a chicken or a cow, as long as we can win, anything is fine! Heynckes gradually began to get restless.
When the game reached the 58th minute, he stood up from the coaching seat, looked at the bench, waved at Su Dong and Robben, signaling them to come over quickly.
When the Bayern fans in the stadium saw this, they immediately cheered excitedly.
It's time to change people! This old man Hai is really something, he has to wait until now!
…
"What do you think?" Heynckes asked Su Dong with concern.
Su Dong looked at the direction of the court and shook his head, "The offense was too bad."
"Barzagli performed well," Heynckes said meaningfully.
Su Dong grinned, "You old man are full of bad intentions, don't deliberately provoke me, I can beat Nesta, Cannavaro and Maldini, why are you afraid of Barzagli?"
When Heynckes saw Su Dong like this, he immediately felt relieved.
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
Su Dong nodded, "Don't worry, just sit in the coaching booth and treat me to a meal if you win the game!"
"No problem, you can choose the time and place." Heynckes was also straightforward.
There is no other way. In order to win the game, what else would he be reluctant to give up? ...
When Su Dong and Robben both walked to the sidelines, ready to come on as substitutes, the entire Allianz Arena erupted in thunderous cheers.
All the Bayern fans in the stadium were shouting Su Dong's name, obviously looking forward to his appearance.
This is the result of one victory after another and one goal after another accumulated over the past two years since Su Dong joined the team.
In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Magath looked worried when he saw Su Dong was about to come on as a substitute. He immediately walked to the sidelines and shouted at the Wolfsburg players on the field, asking them to pay attention to defense, especially to focus on their forwards.
Leading by two goals, this advantage is indeed not small, but facing a superstar like Su Dong, who dares to say that they are sure? There are still about 30 minutes in the second half. If Su Dong really plays well, it is not impossible to be reversed.
Thinking of this, Magath still felt uneasy, and took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to call the players on the back line over and gave them some instructions.
On the Bayern side, Podolski was replaced by Su Dong in a listless manner.
If he could complain before about not getting any opportunities, now he can only accept his fate.
