Chapter 503 Opportunity... Here Comes! (236)

"Maggath said that the team is still in the running-in period... This is really strange-this league has been going on for almost two months, why is it still in the running-in period? Shouldn't things like the running-in period be resolved before the start of the league?"

"Maggath said he was still running in the team... I laughed when I heard that - if a head coach said he was still running in the team two months after the start of the league, then I think he'd better resign voluntarily, so as not to waste the team's time - a giant like Bayern Munich is still running in? How long is it going to be running in? Can the league and the Champions League give them this time? In the league, Bayern Munich has lost 0:2 to Hamburg. It was stumbling. I really can't feel at ease with their performance..."

After the game against Hamburg, the major media were ridiculing Magath's words that "we are still in the running-in period".

But in fact what Magath said is true, Bayern Munich is indeed in the running-in period.

Rong Guang and Ballack are the central axis of the team. This is something I have never tried before. It is the first time to play like this, so it is natural to get used to it.

It's just that the media doesn't know this.

They thought that Bayern Munich only needed to fully activate the glory like Werder Bremen did.What kind of adjustment does this need?

However, these media have ignored a problem.

Werder Bremen has no choice but to do this, because their other players are completely unable to compare with Bayern Munich.But Bayern Munich has this kind of condition. Apart from Rong Guang, their other players are not weak. Why should they only rely on Rong Guang's strength?

※※※

Magath doesn't care about the ridicule of the media. Because of his unique training method, he is often scolded by the media.

So I'm used to it.

Now his mind is full of one idea - to adjust the central axis of Rongguang and Barack.

If Bayern Munich were a car, then he would have to tune the chassis now, and the handling would be better if the chassis is tuned.

In the team's training, Magath will make Rong Guoguang and Ballack a regular partner. Whether it is tactical training, or the very simple passing training that just passes back and forth, Rong Guang will be with Ballack.

The previous combination of Xun Lan was random, and the coach reassigned each training session.

Now Rong Guang and Barak are fixed.

Magath hopes that in this way, Rong Guang and Ballack can get to know each other better and become familiar with Ballack's way and style of playing football.

In addition, Misimovic also needs to integrate with the team as soon as possible.He has been playing as a substitute before. If Ma Kai hadn't performed too badly, he would not have gotten so many opportunities to play.

The previous team's tactics have always been set with the "RR combination" as the core.

Now it will take time to overthrow and start over.

So Magath said that the running-in time is quite normal, and it's just that the media didn't understand it that led to this result.

But Magath also knows that the media are right about one thing, that is, there is really not much time left for Bayern Munich.

It took two months after the start of the league to decide on the tactics. Although there were some objective helpless factors, giants usually didn't care about those objective factors, they only looked at the results.As long as your performance in leading the team fails to satisfy them, then you can wait to be the scapegoat.

He has coached Bayern Munich for a season, and he has only won one German Cup, and none of the other enough championships.Last season, it can also be said that because Werder Bremen, where Glory is located, was too strong, Glory was too strong, so Bayern Munich could not compete with Werder Bremen.

So this season, glory returns to Bayern Munich.The strength of Bayern Munich has indeed increased, but at the same time, the pressure on Magath has also increased.Because the failure last season is still excusable, but now that Glory has returned, is it unreasonable to fail again?The return of glory has cut off all the retreats for Magath, and he now has only one way to go.

If he can't make a breakthrough this season, he might have to leave...

※※※

Magath made the team race against time in training to familiarize themselves with the new tactics.

But the players are people after all, not machines.

Continuous high-intensity training can easily cause fatigue, and fatigue can easily lead to injury.

Finally, during training, the team's starting center Pizarro was injured...

Because he started consecutively and did not have any rest time, Pizarro was already very tired. Coupled with the high intensity of training, his body could not hold on.

While doing a technical move in training, he sprained his ankle.

This is not a major injury that will cause him to miss the rest of the season.But it is a very troublesome injury.Because if it is not completely cured, it is easy to become a habitual sprain, that is, in the game, when the ankle is doing movements, it is often prone to injury. After frequent injuries, the physical and psychological blows to the players are very large. Some players even have their state plummet and completely fade out of people's sight. This is not alarmist talk, and there are many precedents.

So as soon as Pizarro was injured, the team's chief team doctor, Dr. Wolfart, was very nervous and immediately asked Pizarro to stop all subsequent training and not to participate in any games until he was completely healed.

"But next is the Champions League group stage!" Assistant coach Henk frowned.

"That doesn't work, let's find someone to replace him." Wolfart said.

"Here, a replacement for Pizarro...it's hard to find." Henk scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

In the first group game against opponents like Rapid Vienna, Bayern Munich only relied on their glorious personal performance to win a small victory.

This puts Bayern Munich under tremendous pressure.

In the next Champions League group match, Bayern Munich's opponent is the most powerful opponent in this group-Juventus.

If Bayern Munich is to compete for the first place in the group, the home game against Juventus must be won.

In fact, it is not only the first place in the group, if Bayern Munich wants to qualify for the group, it is best to beat Juventus at home.

However, before such an important game, Pizarro was injured...

Pizarro in the team, although not many goals, but the role of the tactical fulcrum is very obvious, he is a very important member of Bayern Munich's starting lineup.

His absence is not just as simple as the loss of a center forward. Rongguang's ability to score consecutive goals has a lot to do with Pizarro's containment of the opponent's defense in front.

After Pizarro was injured, Bayern Munich must find a replacement, and this replacement cannot just find someone.

First of all, this person must have the ability to score, so that when the opponent's defense focuses on Rongguang and Ballack, he must be able to stand up and score.

Secondly, this person must have the ability to play the ball for his teammates. He must be able to pass the ball. This meeting is not simply passing the football to his teammates, but must be able to create some scoring opportunities and provide assists for his teammates.

The third and most important point is that this person must have a spirit of impartiality.But if a center forward is good at scoring goals, how can he be impartial?Successful, good centers are selfish.But if he doesn’t have this kind of spirit, when Rong Guang, Ballack and others ran to the position, he didn’t choose to pass the ball, but did it himself, which caused the team to miss the scoring opportunity.Do we still need tactical discipline?

Just when Genk didn't know what to do, coach Magath suddenly said: "Michael, have you forgotten? We still have a center forward."

"You mean Roy?" Henk asked hesitantly.

When did Magath change his impression of Ma Kai and give him a chance at this time?
But Magath shook his head: "Of course not him, but someone else."

"Not Roy Mackay?" Henk froze for a moment, then slapped himself on the forehead: "Yeah, how did I forget him?"

Then both of them turned their eyes to the training ground, and focused on one person at the same time.

That person is...the team's backup center Lucas Sutton!
The backup center who was bought as a replacement for the injured Santa Cruz, still got 1 minute of playing time.

"That's right, in this position where tactical ability is very important, Lucas' tactical acceptance is very outstanding." Henk remembered Lucas' performance in training.

When all the tactics were overthrown and restarted, Lucas Sutton was the fastest in the team to accept it.

Even faster than Rong Guang's adaptation speed.

Tell him about tactics, and he will understand.In this regard, he is even better than Rong Guang.Rongguang's ability in tactical understanding is actually not very outstanding...

Lucas doesn't really look like a Brazilian player...in football.His style of play is very simple, but very efficient.His observance of tactical discipline also surprised Bayern Munich's coaching staff.Few Brazilian players have shown such good tactical discipline...

There are many Brazilian and South American players in the Bundesliga. Everyone knows what their performance is like.

There is no doubt that Brazilian players have outstanding talents and outstanding personal abilities.But God is fair. Brazilian players have outstanding talents and good personal abilities. They often lack tactical discipline.

In this regard, although Rong Guang is not a Brazilian player, he also embodies this characteristic of Brazilian players.Sometimes, when the fight is on the rise, he doesn't care about the tactics arranged by the head coach. He relies more on the individual rather than the team, which is also his problem.

But in Lucas Sutton, this is completely missing.

He does what the coaches tell him to do.Tell him not to do anything, and he won't do anything. The obedient one is like a German...

Of course, outside the football field, Lucas is a standard Brazilian with a lively, enthusiastic and cheerful personality.

Also a South American, Lucas is stronger than Pizarro in terms of tactical execution.

"Before we didn't give Lucas the chance to play, because he didn't fit well with the team's tactics. But now I don't think there is such a problem. And he has a good relationship with Rong, and the cooperation is more tacit..." Magath said. "In the next game, let him start instead of Pizarro."

In fact, Ma Kai can also play as a center forward, but Magath does not seem to intend to give this player who dared to confront him face to face a chance, he wants to completely block Roy Ma Kai.

※※※

When Pizarro was injured, Rong Guang was taken aback for a moment, and then he turned to look at his friend Lucas.

He noticed that Lucas's eyes were shining.

Although it's unfair to Pizarro to say this, the fact is like this—Rong Guang saw Lucas clenched his fists when Pizarro was injured, with an expectant look on his face!
And he had to admit that he thought of this at that moment, otherwise he wouldn't have turned his head to look at Lucas.

Pizarro is injured, Lucas's chance...here!
