i want to be king

Chapter 568
Bayern is the most professional football club Sudong has ever experienced.

This kind of professionalism is reflected in all aspects. From the management to the coaching staff to the staff, everyone is like a part of the German chariot of Bayern. When the chariot is aligned in one direction and charges, all the parts will operate efficiently.

After the afternoon training session, Su Dong went to the gym for extra training alone, accompanied by Marcelo, Toni Kroos and Pepe. When the group returned after the extra training, they found Heynckes waiting for him in the locker room.

He wanted to talk to Su Dong alone.

Arriving at Heynckes' office, before his butt was hot, Heynckes' phone rang. Not long after, Hoeness and Rummenigge also came over. They had a meeting in the office of the administrative building next door to discuss the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Hoeness just flew back from UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, and brought first-hand news.

The two giants, together with the head coach and Su Dong, sat together and chatted about the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

For Barcelona, ​​the Bayern giant and the coach have a deep understanding. Heynckes mentioned more than once that he likes Barcelona football very much because he has coached in Spain for many years.

As the most successful team in European football in the past few years, the Bayern giant has studied Barcelona. Naturally, Hoeness and Rummenigge are no strangers. They all know Barcelona's style very well, but many things are not as thorough as Su Dong.

Because he personally led this Barcelona team from the moment of reorganization to the peak step by step, and now he has seen him decline from the peak with his own eyes, Su Dong has a deeper understanding of Barcelona football than outsiders.

During the conversation, Su Dong mentioned the process of Barcelona figuring out this football style, the most important game of which was the [-]-[-] rout of Real Madrid.

"In that game, the young Barcelona made a crazy full-court press against the old Real Madrid, which made Real Madrid helpless to fight back. That was the first time we were so sure that we could play such a wonderful offensive football."

Subsequently, Su Dong mentioned Barcelona's defense.

In the first season he joined Barcelona, ​​defense was a big problem, but in the second season, the defensive level has improved a lot, and this season is also the same. A very important reason is Puyol's maneuvering and chasing ability, as well as the joining of Marcos Senna.

"Facing Barcelona, ​​there are a few things that must be done well. The first is the defensive order."

Su Dong believes that in today's world football, no one can play the ball better than Barcelona, ​​including Arsenal.

Bayern's ability to control the ball is not as good as Arsenal, let alone compete with Barcelona.

Since it cannot be grabbed, it can only be defended.

"Barcelona's ball control is like water. You never know where he will find a gap and infiltrate it. So what we can do is not to block it, but to directly build a dam and let Barcelona control the ball outside the dam. But to ensure the firmness of the dam and prevent it from being penetrated by Barcelona's pass and control, we need a careful formation and strict order."

Not only Heynckes, but also Hoeness and Rummenigge were once the top stars in Europe. They have been engaged in football for many years, and they immediately understood Su Dong's meaning. The strict tactical order is the strength of the German team.

"It can be done if we give up possession," Heynckes said.

But this is just the beginning.

Su Dong quickly put forward the second request, which is Barcelona's counter-robbery.

Barcelona's counterattack has always been a very important means of their offense, and it has always been like this since they defeated Real Madrid that year.

But as players such as Ronaldinho and Deco declined, or they became lazy, Barcelona's ability in this area also declined sharply.

But once it comes to the strong dialogue, if Bayern does not prepare in advance, it will be very difficult for Bayern to deal with Barcelona's active counterattack in the game, and this requires Bayern to get familiar with and adapt to Barcelona's counterattack as soon as possible, and be able to quickly transfer the ball out.

It's not an easy thing to do, but Bayern have the technical ability now.

Not only the midfielder, but also the defense have very good ability to hold and pass the ball, which ensures that Bayern can indeed hold the ball in Barcelona's counter-attack, provided that they can adapt to Barcelona's counter-attack.

"Ronaldinho and Deco are not good enough in running and counter-attacking. Eto'o and Henry are newcomers and have not yet integrated into Barcelona's tactical system. Messi is injured and absent. Barcelona has lost the strongest player in the frontcourt. This is simply an opportunity specially arranged for us by God."

Messi's absence will be a very big blow to Barcelona's offense.

After listening to Su Dong's analysis, Heynckes immediately began to think about what kind of targeted training the team should arrange next. It is best to directly fight in groups during training, so that the players are familiar with Barcelona's counterattack.

Su Dong believes that if the first two points are achieved, Bayern will basically be able to stabilize their position under Barcelona's pass and control system, and the next thing to do is to focus on the details in a targeted manner to completely restrict Barcelona.

"Xavi must be controlled. He is the brain of Barcelona. Whether his partner is Deco or Iniesta, as long as we limit Xavi, the threat of Barcelona's midfield will be cut by more than half."

"I also noticed that recently, my friend Marcos Senna lost his main position. Barcelona arranged for Yaya Toure to start, but the Ivorian's sense of position is far from Marcos Senna. Yaya Toure doesn't seem to be a proper late midfielder, and he is too sticky to the ball."

"In addition, the current two main central defenders Puyol and Gabriel Milito are too short."

In the last point, Su Dong obviously said it based on his own advantages, which made Heynke and Hoeness smile, but he was right. Barcelona's central defender is very capable of holding and delivering the ball, but he is short and lacks strength to fight.

This is a common phenomenon in the Barcelona team, and it is also the reason why Barcelona has more than [-] corner kicks, but only scored one corner kick. To put it bluntly, the players cannot win.

……

Su Dong put forward many opinions, and Heynckes also recorded them one by one.

What Su Dong said is very valuable, because he has a deep understanding of Barcelona football, and he is the kind of person who likes to ponder, so his understanding is naturally deeper.

Heynckes and the giants of Bayern even feel that Su Dong is almost becoming Barcelona's nemesis now.

Of course, this is no secret.

In fact, there are not many secrets about tactics, and every game is changing, and you will make slight adjustments according to different opponents, and sometimes you will even completely change your own style.

Therefore, Su Dong's disclosure of these things is considered normal in European football. After a transfer, every player encounters his old club and basically does this. If this involves leaking, then European football leaks almost every day.

Heynckes also attached great importance to what Su Dong provided, and discussed some of these issues with Hoeness and Rummenigge on the spot, and Su Dong could occasionally give some opinions.

For other more specific executions and targeted arrangements for training, the coaching staff needs to hold internal meetings to communicate.

This is just the preparation work. If you really want to beat Barcelona in the game, you need to do more, especially the players' on-the-spot performance and tactical execution, as well as a little luck on the court.

Although it is difficult to accept, all fans cannot deny that football is actually a sport with a lot of luck, especially in this kind of strong dialogue, a goal conceded by an accidental mistake in the opening game may completely overturn the result of the game.

Whether it's a coach or a player, all you can do is always do your best and obey the destiny.

…………

On March 20th, in the fourth round of No.[-] of the Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Cottbus away.

The game ended in a two-to-two draw with Su Dong scoring two goals, but Cottbus also caught Bayern's mistakes and scored two goals in a row.

Although it was a draw, it did not have the slightest impact on Bayern's championship.

More importantly, Bayern used Cottbus to test some of the team's tactics in this game.

This is also a continuation of targeted training.

After Barcelona was drawn by lottery, Bayern's most important game is the quarter-finals of the Champions League. As for the Bundesliga and German Cup games, Bayern basically has the chance to win.

…………

…………

Three days later, in the German Cup semi-final, Bayern ushered in Wolfsburg at home.

After the two sides fought fiercely for 10 minutes, Su Dong passed a pass and shot, helping Bayern beat Wolfsburg [-]-[-] and successfully advanced to the German Cup final.

In another game, Borussia Dortmund defeated Jena [-]-[-] and joined Bayern in the final.

After experiencing the financial crisis at the beginning of the century, this traditional German team's performance has plummeted. This season, it ranks No. 13 in the Bundesliga. It seems that it is difficult to pose a threat to Bayern.

But this is a German Cup final!

…………

…………

On the weekend, the Bundesliga's No.20 fifth round, Bayern sits at home against Leverkusen.

Su Dong scored two goals for Bayern in the first half, and Robben scored another goal in the second half.

In the end, Bayern beat Leverkusen [-]-[-] at home and scored three points again.

…………

…………

A week later, in the sixth round of No.20 in the Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Nuremberg away.

Since he will go to the Nou Camp to challenge Barcelona in the middle of the week, Heynckes hid most of the main players including Su Dong in this game, and almost played the away game with a full substitute lineup.

As a result, Bayern had a bad away game, and they shook hands with Nuremberg one to one.

……

Like Bayern, Barcelona is also recharging their energy, giving up the league and preparing for the Champions League.

Rijkaard's team has basically no chance of reversing Real Madrid in the league, so Barcelona put all their energy into the Champions League.

From the UEFA Champions League semi-final draw to the match, La Liga played four rounds. Barcelona's results were one win, one draw and two losses. No matter how you look at it, it was not the result that the championship team should have. Real Madrid directly opened up the score gap.

But it also made Rijkaard's team more focused.

La Liga is far behind Real Madrid, and the Copa del Rey was eliminated by Valencia. The only thing Barcelona has a chance to compete for is the Champions League.

The first leg of the game against Bayern at home is even more important for Barcelona.

Even World Sports News believes that this is not only a key decisive battle related to the future of Barcelona's Champions League, but also to Rijkaard's coaching position and the future of many Barcelona stars!
