Football’s First Defender

Chapter 157 Firefighting Coach Guus Hiddink

In the league one after another, losing to Manchester United and Liverpool, two direct competitors for the championship, Scolari may really not be able to survive this time!

As the saying goes, it’s cool to leave the tea. With the loss against Liverpool, Scolari hadn’t left yet, and he felt that the staff of the club no longer had the same enthusiasm for him as before!

"Maybe it's time to leave!"

Scolari does not think there is anything wrong with his football philosophy, nor does he think there is anything wrong with his coaching level. You must know that even after losing to Liverpool, Chelsea is still in third place in the league at this time, and is far from the top of the list. Manchester United is only 5 points behind! The UEFA Champions League group stage also successfully advanced to the first place in the group!

Such a result is not a big failure for a coach who is coaching a Premier League club for the first time!

However, maybe Scolari has forgotten that the team he coached last season was runner-up in the Premier League and the Champions League. Meaningless!

Abramovich is already ordering people to start looking for a new coach candidate. Even if it is a firefighting coach, Abramovich also wants to see new changes in the team, instead of being like this now, when it comes to tough battles, due to various reasons, they will always lose. party! He needs Chelsea to get back the iron-blooded spirit of the year, to get back that spirit!

Scolari was not fired immediately after the match with Liverpool. Firstly, the new coach has not been finalized. Secondly, he is also the management personnel of Abramovich and Chelsea. I hope Scolari will submit his resignation on his own initiative!

However, for Scolari, there is no liquidated damages for resigning. Since the face is destined to be gone, he still has to get it. After all, he is not Mourinho, and he has such a deep relationship with Chelsea that he does not need liquidated damages. the point!

In this way, Scolari was in the coaching position again, persisted for a week, and led the team to face Hull City, the tiger city!

After this game, the national team game week will usher in, and it is also the time when European clubs are most willing to change coaches during the season!

However, although Scolari's departure is a foregone conclusion, he still has to stick to his tactical philosophy in the possible last game. This time, he hopes to prove himself against Hull City, a weak opponent!

Drogba was completely sent to the bench by Scolari. Anyway, he had no chance. For Scolari, this game is just arranging troops as he pleases! Anelka and Kalou partner double striker!

Unexpectedly, just after the reunion of master and apprentice, they had to part again. Scolari also started Quaresma, who he advocated on loan in the winter window, and Malouda, who was on the other side of his partner, separated on the two wings!

Lampard and Mikel are double defensive midfielders, responsible for defense, and just handle the ball properly!

Alex continued to be trusted and served as the starting central defender. Perhaps after Carvalho was injured, in the eyes of Scolari, no one else could beat Alex in the central defender position!

Terry, Ashley Cole, and Bosingwa are still the main force that cannot be shaken!

Scolari just wants to continue to try, use the breakthrough ability of the two wings to create opportunities and win!

However, maybe Scolari is still stuck in the era of coaching the national team, or he is obsessed with his previous coaching past in Brazil. In the Premier League, wing breakthroughs are indeed very applicable, but that is based on the fact that wide players Has an excellent ability to cut inside and hit the goal, or when there is a high center forward in the team who can complete the goal and hit the goal!

But Malouda still has Quaresma, not Ronaldo. They may be able to disrupt the opponent's defense and create passing opportunities, but it is a bit difficult for them to use their personal ability to complete the inside cut and hit the goal!

Especially Quaresma, he can contribute that kind of season highlight-level goals, but most of the attributes are nerve knives, he is not a stable shooter!

As for the two wide passes, when facing Hull City, the traditional British defense line, most of the passes were won by its tall central defenders!

Anelka is indeed an excellent striker, but in terms of hand-to-hand combat in the penalty area in this situation, he is definitely not at the same level as Drogba!

Throughout the game, Chelsea had close to 70% possession of the ball and hit 23 goals, but did not return even a single goal!

Among the so-called 23 kicks, some were long-range shots, and some were in the penalty area. The so-called false shots hit the football when the header was fighting for the top without any threat! There is only the accumulation of shooting data, but there is no threat at all!

On the contrary, Hull City took advantage of several successful defenses on the wing, but they counterattacked vigorously, which was much more offensive threat than Chelsea!

It's just that the forwards of these underdogs are really poor at seizing opportunities, otherwise Hull City might not have taken one point from Stamford Bridge, but three points!

The score of 0 to 0 was maintained until the audience. Amidst the fans at Stamford Bridge shouting "get out of class", Scolari walked back to the dressing room silently. Perhaps this time, it was really the last time to win Chelsea. The identity of the coach has come to Stamford Bridge!

After the game, the general manager of Chelsea personally called Scolari and declared to him that his work at Chelsea was officially over!

As for the liquidated damages, it will be paid to him in batches according to the process!

The era of the Blues belonging to Scolari is over!

The Chelsea players were personally informed by the general manager that Scolari had been fired in the locker room after the game!

Perhaps this is not good news for Alex, Belletti, Quaresma and others, but for the vast majority of players, Scolari, a Brazilian who does not understand the Premier League, has finally left!

And Yang Feng, who was at home, was notified by the team management that Scolari had been fired, and asked him to report directly to the first team the next day!

For a big club like Chelsea, the departure of Scolari's team will not cause turmoil in the team's training system. After all, the coaches who directly belong to the club are the cornerstone of the team's coaching system. The coach cannot occupy a key position like the staff of the head coaching team, but the coaching level is definitely not low!

Before Yang Feng was sent to the reserve team, he was given 1-on-1 guidance by the defensive coach sent by the management. Anyway, in Yang Feng's opinion, this little-known defensive coach is definitely no worse than his coach in Zenit! The background of the giants is definitely not only the superstar players, but the staff of the logistics department are also an important part!

Early the next morning! Chelsea officials conveniently held a press conference! It was officially announced that the team coach Scolari was unilaterally fired!

"The team manager Mr. Scolari will leave the Chelsea club! Chelsea officially thank him for his work during the coaching period and wish him all the best in the future. The club will appoint an interim manager to coach until the end of the season, and then the club will Trying to find a new coach.”

The short press conference did not immediately announce who will take over Chelsea's coach for the remaining half of the season!

After all, it's not easy to be a firefighting coach, and it's still such a short-term job for half a season. In a giant like Chelsea, it is definitely a thankless job!

Just when the media speculated that Chelsea would support the assistant coaches, or find some British coaches who are at home, the next day, Chelsea officially announced that the current Russian national team coach Guus Hiddink will "part-time" Chelsea coach for half a season. !

The media was in an uproar!

Hiddink is definitely an excellent head coach! The excellent results of the teams he has led over the years are obvious to all!

Leaving aside, let’s just say that in the just-concluded European Cup, the Russian team he led successfully entered the semi-finals, which is the best proof of his coaching ability!

Not to mention that he also led South Korea to the semi-finals of the World Cup in 2002, creating the best result of an Asian team in the World Cup! In 2006, he led Australia to the top 16 of the World Cup!

The last time he coached the club team was to coach Eindhoven in the Eredivisie before 2006, and led Eindhoven to become king of the Eredivisie!

It's just that the British media, regarding this "part-time" behavior of serving as the coach of the national team and the club at the same time, it seems a bit unprofessional!

Although Hiddink had a part-time job in 2006, he led PSV to the Eredivisie championship in the same year, and in the summer, led Australia to the top 16 of the World Cup. It can be said that the two jobs did not conflict. good!

But, this is the Premier League! Many football professionals can only admire Abramovich's contacts in Russia and his boldness in employing people!

After all, this kind of "poaching" behavior is impossible without going through the Russian Football Association!

However, due to the Russian national team's task, the new Chelsea head coach Guus Hiddink, like his players, is destined to wait for the end of the national team's match day before the team rendezvous!

"Hiddink?"

"I hope this old man, don't cheat me like Scolari! I don't want to play in the reserve league anymore!"

For Yang Feng, in fact, during the winter window, he expressed through his agent that he wanted to play games on loan! And many clubs in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League did try to loan Yang Feng to Chelsea, but they were all rejected by Chelsea's general manager!

At that time, Scolari's coaching position was already in jeopardy, and Yang Feng's performance in the reserve team was obvious to all, so Yang Feng was also told that the team would give him more opportunities after the coaching change!

For Yang Feng, he also understands that with Carvalho injured and Alex always making mistakes this season, if he can really replace the crony Scolari, then he might have a chance to fight for it!

If you can gain a firm foothold in a club like Chelsea, it will definitely be a huge leap forward for your career!
