star coach

Chapter 225

Jiangshan came here with a winning streak. The team performed well at the beginning of the season and the atmosphere in the team was very good. However, with the ups and downs of the state, some old players once again had other ideas.

Simeone was very depressed. Why did he start to lead the team to train? The performance of several old players was very unpleasant, very perfunctory, and the training was not as hard as before.They also seem to feel that the young people in the team are not able to play and the pressure is not enough. Even if they perform poorly, they are still the main force.

Simeone can't solve it, he is just a veteran and newcomer, and the prestige in the team is not enough, not as good as Marcelinho.Jiang Shan narrowed his eyes, "Your idea is correct. In the team, the head coach says one thing. But I have to stand up to someone, isn't it?"

"What I'm talking about is that tomorrow night's game has to pass first, which determines whether we can qualify for the UEFA Cup group stage." Simeone nodded. Tomorrow night, we will play against Zenit St. Petersburg. If we can't win, the group stage situation will be embarrassing.

"I believe in your arrangement." Jiang Shan smiled, "I couldn't qualify for the UEFA Cup group stage, and Hertha Berlin didn't deserve to win."

"The German Cup will be a little more sure. Why not use the main lineup?"

"So many people were injured without the German Cup. If the German Cup is added, wouldn't half the team fall?" Jiang Shan laughed, "Remember to pay attention to everyone's physical condition and make timely adjustments."

Simeone hurriedly wrote notes. He paid special attention to Jiangshan's guidance, and his learning attitude was better than Guardiola's.

"Coach, our family has an event tomorrow night, and the location is in Switzerland. I would like to ask you for a leave." Van Brick came over, "You know, I attach great importance to family activities."

Simeone looked at the country, just waiting for someone to hit the muzzle, so someone who opened his eyes?Jiang Shan stared at him and nodded, "Okay, you don't have to participate in tomorrow's game. And, you don't need to participate in the future."

Van Brick froze, Simeone shook his hand, "Go back to training first."

Van Brick looked at Jiangshan with a lot of smiles, and it was the first time he asked for leave, but it was not approved yet?I had no choice but to return in resentment, and kicked away the training sign bitterly.

"How? Jiang Shan will definitely agree, right? He is quite easy to talk to." Simunić and Basturk both leaned over, "Jiang Shan should agree."

"Jiangshan agreed, but he also said that I don't need to participate in the competition anymore." Van Brick rolled his eyes a few times, "You tell me, is this the truth or a lie?"

"Impossible? Isn't it just a leave? We are doing well now, what else do we want?" Simunić couldn't believe it. "I heard that Jiangshan is in other teams and they take care of their players. They will not openly criticize players."

"Are you leaving?"

"I don't know, let me think about it." Van Brick was a little confused.

Facing Zenit St. Petersburg, Van Brick obediently appeared on the field, but Jiangshan did not arrange him to start.His place was taken by the young Shahed.

Huth and Shahed partnered in the middle line, Pandel was still at right back, and Da Silva was at left back.

The frontcourt players have not changed much, and Marcelinho is still the core of the team's tactics.The game has to be played very hard.

Hertha Berlin fell behind first, and then tied with Kovac's set-pieces. Before the end of the first half, Marcelinho scored the overtake goal.

In the second half, Shahed sent a penalty kick rashly, and the score was tied.

At the last moment, Schmidt, who came off the bench, counterattacked successfully, overtook the score, and won the game with difficulty.

After the game, Van Brick did not take a shower, and immediately went to Switzerland to attend a family gathering.

Jiangshan held a meeting immediately after the game, and all players had to attend, except for the absence of Van Brick. He was excited, and finally found an opportunity to kill one to warn everyone, just right.

He was still a little disappointed. Van Brick is a veteran, but his professionalism is not enough. The ordinary team is used to it, and suddenly they want to win the championship. The pressure can't bear it!

Simeone looked at Jiangshan nervously, "Van Brick didn't come."

"It's okay, let's have a meeting." Jiang Shan briefly analyzed the team's performance, and then announced that he would continue training tomorrow morning and temporarily practice tactics.

In the past, Jiangshan did not arrange training on the morning of the second day after the game, but this time it was a special, critical moment.He said that the team will face Freiburg and Bremen next, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

Players can only obey.The management trusts Jiangshan very much, and he has the final say on all matters of the team. If anyone dares to openly oppose it, the end will definitely be bad.

Early the next morning, Jiang Shan arrived at the training ground ahead of schedule, and Simeone was already preparing training equipment with the young players.

Hut and Pandel also arrived earlier, they understood Jiangshan's methods very well, and they were as obedient as Corgi.

The phone rang, and Van Brick called, "Jiangshan, my car broke down, and I can't get back in the morning."

"Where are you? I'll arrange a special car to pick you up." Jiang Shan said coldly.

Simeone watched from the side. This is an opportunity to learn. To rectify the team, you must be tough, especially when facing stabbing players, it is an opportunity to make an example.

Van Brick was silent for a long time, and finally hung up the phone.

Jiangshan did not arrange a special car, which disappointed Simeone. He wanted to see how Dieter would deal with Van Brick if this matter was known to Dieter.But Jiangshan didn't. He didn't let the top management intervene in the team's affairs.

Facing Freiburg, which was on the verge of relegation, Jiangshan did not let Van Brick play. The team won the away game 1:3, a thirst-quenching victory.

The wounded in the team began to come back, there were no new injuries, and everything was improving.

In the first game in November, against Werder Bremen, the second-ranked team in the Bundesliga, Jiangshan still did not let Van Brick play.However, the defense led by Huth had loopholes, and Shahed became the key target of Bremen.

In the end, with Pandel's goal, the team struggled to draw with the menacing Werder Bremen, 1:1.Both teams scored 1 point each, neither quenching their thirst.

Hertha Berlin's winning streak has stopped, and its ranking in the Bundesliga is still fourth, neither rising nor falling.

In the next game, on the third round of the German Cup, facing the Bayern Munich youth team, Van Brick thought he had a chance, but no, Jiangshan still trusted Shahed and continued to give him opportunities.

Following the headers of Dejaga and Schmidt, Hertha Berlin defeated the Bayern youth team 2-0 in an away game, reached the quarter-finals of the German Cup, and completed the scheduled goal.

Van Brick didn't get a chance to play, and he approached Jiangshan several times in private, but Jiangshan didn't let go.

Later, he learned to be smart and stopped paying attention to Jiangshan. He complained to the top management, and after training every day, he went to Dieter.Similarly, the fact that the main players were suspended internally has also attracted the attention of the top management. It is a waste of resources to be able to play the main players without even getting a chance to play in the German Cup.

Dieter found Jiangshan after the game, "Jiangshan, please do me a favor and let Van Brick play. I think he performed very well during training."

"Is this a problem of training performance? Can players decide when to go on vacation during the season?" Jiang Shan stared at Dieter coldly.

Dieter was annoyed by him, "You have kept him in cold storage for a month, this punishment is enough, I will be annoyed to death by him, can't you give him a chance?"

"I told him that as long as he leaves, he doesn't have to come back to compete." Jiang Shan took out a cigar, cut off his head, warmed it up, and lit it. It tasted good and fragrant.
