Chapter 755 Whoever opposes will die!
"Bernhard Peters!"
When Yang Huan heard the name, he immediately felt familiar with it and remembered it after a little thought.
"Oh, so you were talking about him!"
Speaking of Bernhard Peters, he is definitely a big name in Germany's youth training.
The reason why fans know him is probably mainly because in 2006, Klinsmann, the then head coach of the German national team, wanted to invite him to join the German national team as a technical consultant.
This incident caused an uproar throughout Germany and even the world at that time.
The reason is not the technical consultant, but Bernhard Peters is not a football coach at all. He has nothing to do with football at all. He is a hockey coach!
It was during this incident that the world first heard the name Bernhard Peters.
But in the end, the German Football Association did not allow Klinsmann to do so and refused to allow Bernhard Peters to work in the national team, but instead chose Sammer.
But what’s interesting is that after the 2006 World Cup, Löw replaced Klinsmann as the head coach of the German national team, and the first thing he did after taking office was to invite Peters to join the national team as a consultant.
What kind of ability does Peters have that makes Klinsmann and Löw pay so much attention to him?
"Bernhard was born in Rheine, Westphalia, northern Germany. He started working for the German Hockey Association at the age of 23. He started coaching the youth team in 1985 and won the world championship and European championship many times. He achieved great results. So in December 2000, he succeeded Paul Rieseke as the head coach of the German national hockey team."
“Since he took over the team, German hockey has entered its peak period with outstanding results, and Bernhard Peters has also become famous in the German sports circle, especially for the new thinking he has shown in the hockey team.
"He was excellent and advanced in training methods, player development, game analysis and team management, so in 2006, Klinsmann wanted to invite him to the national team."
At this point, Beiersdorf curled his lips and said, "However, it is a pity that the old men in the German Football Association are unwilling to accept such advanced changes, so they refused to do so and even forced Sammer on Klinsmann."
Yang Huan had heard of this incident when he was a football fan in his previous life, and he was deeply impressed.
There are even rumors that Klinsmann had a falling out with the German Football Association because of this and eventually resigned after the World Cup.
"After Löw took over the national team, he chose a compromise plan, which was to invite Peters to work part-time as a foreign affairs consultant. Peters also left the national hockey team and went to Hoffenheim to serve as the director of youth training."
When Yang Huan heard this, he suddenly understood.
"No wonder Hoffenheim has had such a surge in talent in recent years. It turns out the talent behind it is Bernhard Peters!"
German football has always been very low-key. For someone like Yang Huan who attaches so much importance to youth training, how could he not know about the great Peters, who is still living in a small village like Hoffenheim?
What a waste! What a waste!
Baiersdorf nodded and said, "Yes, Hoffenheim launched a youth training reform under the leadership of Peters. After several years of hard work, Hoffenheim has become one of the best youth training teams in the Bundesliga."
Hoffenheim's youth training camp was awarded three stars by the German Football Association, which is the highest honor for youth training in Germany.
From this point it is not difficult to see the success of Hoffenheim's youth training camp, and it is not difficult to see the level of Bernhard Peters.
What makes Yang Huan even more interested is that this person also attaches great importance to data analysis, which is undoubtedly very consistent with Southampton.
Moreover, if such a famous youth training expert in Germany and abroad is invited to preside over Hamburg's youth training, the fans will definitely be very excited. What will Khoff and others dare to say? Will Kruse have to hand over the power obediently?
"Dietmar, are you in touch with him?" Yang Huan asked.
"Yes, I have had contact with him several times, because when I was at RB Leipzig, I thought about bringing him to Leipzig, but he was more concerned about developing in the west. However, I think he would prefer to be in the north."
"Why?" Yang Huan asked curiously.
Hoffenheim is in the southwest of Germany, while Peters' hometown is in Rheine in the north.
Could it be that this guy is homesick?
"He has four children and he hopes to receive a better education in a big city. He and his family prefer to live in northern Germany. If he is invited to Hamburg, I think there should be no problem."
Compared to Hoffenheim, the big city of Hamburg is more attractive.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. You must dig him up and bring him to Hamburg!"
Beiersdorf nodded, "As for Khoff..."
"Notify them when the time comes. I don't believe they dare to object!"
When it comes to youth training, whoever opposes it will die!
The fans are the first to not let them go!
"Okay, hurry up and prepare for this matter. It will be very busy in the next period of time!"
Beiersdorf and Thomas Lake both stood up.
"Master Huan, don't worry, we will never let you down!"
"Yes, Master Huan, I am very confident!"
Yang Huan waved at the two of them and nodded with a smile.
But suddenly he thought of something, "Oh, by the way, Dietmar, please help me arrange a meeting with Tuchel while there is still time!"
Mainz is just west of Frankfurt, very close. Tuchel drove here in less than half an hour, which is very convenient.
"Ok, I'll arrange it right away!"
…………
…………
A day later, a gold-plated Lagonda Conqueror slowly drove towards Southampton's Staplewood training base.
Security guard Peter recognized it as Master Huan's car at a glance and immediately opened the door to let the car pass.
The Conqueror arrived at the entrance of the first team's training building and slowly stopped.
The car door opened and Yang Huan got out of the car.
"Master Huan, is this Southampton's training base?"
Following Yang Huan out of the car were two tall and strong men, both around 40 years old, but one had long hair parted in the middle, and the other was slightly bald.
The person asking the question was Jurgen Klopp, who had long hair parted in the middle.
As for the slightly bald man, he is Mainz's head coach, Thomas Tuchel.
Both of these guys were very interested in Bielsa. When they heard that Yang Huan was going to return to Southampton, they immediately took the initiative to ask if Yang Huan could recommend them to meet Bielsa.
Tuchel is better off as Mainz has no games in the midweek, but Klopp is different as Dortmund has to travel to Madrid to play the Champions League semi-finals in the midweek.
But when they heard that they had a chance to consult Bielsa in person, the two guys were extremely excited. They took time out of their busy schedules and insisted on following Yang Huan to the Saints.
However, this is also a good thing. Along the way, Yang Huan directly finalized the coaching contract for the new season with them.
Next season, Klopp will take over Inter Milan and shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Inter Milan.
As for Tuchel, if he can reach an agreement with Mainz, he will become the head coach of Hamburg. If the negotiations fail, he will make suggestions behind the scenes and arrange for an assistant coach to become the head coach. He will then officially come out after a year.
However, this shouldn't be necessary.
Just when Yang Huan's private plane arrived at Southampton Airport, Beiersdorf called and said that the negotiations with Mainz were very successful and after paying a six-figure penalty, Tuchel was free.
"Wow, the Saints' Staplewood is truly the most beautiful training base in Europe!" Tuchel was also full of admiration.
Look at the layout, the environment, and the scenery. Anyone who can train in such a place will be more diligent and hardworking.
"Let's go, they should be resting now!"
Yang Huan had called Bielsa before to say hello, and they arrived on time.
Walk into the training building and go straight to the coach's office on the second floor.
As soon as they walked out of the stairs, Yang Huan and others heard Bielsa's voice from afar.
It turned out that he was not resting.
When I turned the corner, I found that the coach's office was very lively. Not only the coaching staff were there, but even the players were there.
Bielsa was standing in front of a large blackboard explaining tactics, and the blackboard was densely packed with drawings, including names, position diagrams, arrows, and some winding curves. It looked a bit like scribbles. God knows what the hell it was.
But everyone understood what Bielsa said.
"Bayern Munich is a bit like Barcelona now. This is not what Guardiola wants, but there is no other way. He only has this group of players and cannot change them. He can only do this!"
"Barcelona's ball control has a characteristic, that is, the first choice after getting the ball is to keep it steady, and ensuring that the ball is not lost again is the primary task, so their speed of switching from defense to offense is not fast enough. Bayern Munich also has this characteristic, and it is even more deadly because they lack the deep technical foundation of Barcelona players!"
"I studied Klopp's tactics in Dortmund. I think one thing he did very well was to turn passivity into initiative, give up possession of the ball, and strengthen the compact pressing and interception in the midfield!"
"We did well in the first round. Let's continue doing so in the second round. If Lahm still plays as a defensive midfielder, we will adopt this tactic and focus on the two wingers in the counterattack. Rafinha and Contento are both weak points!"
"It would be easier if Lahm went back to play right back!"
The coaching staff and players below heard this and all burst into laughter.
It can be seen that the 3-0 away victory over Bayern Munich in the first leg gave Southampton very strong confidence.
It was also this battle that made everyone in the Saints clearly realize that as long as they tried their best, they could defeat even a strong team like Bayern Munich, and even humiliate them!
"Bayern Munich's counterattacks were mainly on the wing, especially Ribery on the left."
As he spoke, Bielsa started drawing on the blackboard again.
"Ribery took the ball and dribbled on the left, then suddenly passed the ball to the left, Robben launched the attack, and took advantage of the gaps in our defense moving left and right to create opportunities. This is also what Thomas Muller is very good at."
"So, tomorrow, we will focus on arranging this set of simulation training in the training class!"
There is basically no suspense about the team's current situation in the Premier League, and defending the league title can be said to be a sure thing.
Under such circumstances, it is understandable that Bielsa gave up the league and concentrated on the second round of the Champions League semi-finals.
After all, it would be quite exciting for Southampton if they could go further in the Champions League.
The only regrettable thing is that for the sake of the league and the Champions League, Southampton had to arrange for young players to play in the FA Cup, but they ended up in the semi-finals and missed the FA Cup final.
But considering Southampton's outstanding performance this season, it is not easy to defend the Premier League title and perform so well in the Champions League.
However, within the Saints team, from Yang Huan to the players and coaching staff, and down to the ordinary staff, everyone hopes that the team can go one step further and continue this momentum.
Now every step forward the team takes is making history!
And every person in the team is bound to go down in history!
