Super Marshal

"Frankly speaking, you can't win this match."

"How to say?"

"Just the time when Pizarro fell in your penalty area in the second half, at least it should have been a penalty, right? Do you dare to say that Carvalho didn't move at that time?"

"If you really say that, what about the ball thrown by Villa by Kahn? A red card plus a penalty?"

"That's Kahn's attack and he couldn't hold back..."

"Hey, Ganqing is in your territory, and you have to say everything."

"Aren't we being reasonable?"

"Is there any reason for you? It's justifiable for your player to foul, but my player will get a penalty if he makes a small move? I'll wipe it!"

"Speak up if you have something to say, what kind of middle finger do you compare!"

"Just compare the middle finger, you old man is not kind."

"You are kind?"

"Let me tell you, I saved my strength in the end. Otherwise, I would have scored you at least two more goals in the final stage of the second half."

"Just blow it up you, if it wasn't for you who suddenly didn't know how, the defense became solid, and the time after we pulled back a goal, we could directly reverse it."

"What do you mean you don't know how? That's because we adjusted it."

"Fart, you bastard is a godsend, a mess."

"I said old man, don't admit that you lost the ball, it's a loss of your handsome demeanor."

"Which famous coach? Who wants to, who should go, I lost the game, I feel upset, and I'm not allowed to complain?"

"Haha, understand, understand, come, come, drink and drink."

"Of course, if I didn't tell you to stop, you are not allowed to leave."

"You want to get me drunk, don't you?"

"What do you say?"

"Hey, let me tell you, if you lose on the court, you want to get it back at the wine table?"

"You're really right!"

"I'm dizzy!"

"Hurry up, do it!"

"Help..."

"This is my territory, no one will save you!"

After the game, all the fans at the Olympic Stadium left, but Gao Han was forced by Heathfield to stay in one of the conference rooms, drinking the wine that Heathfield got from unknown where, chatting about the game that just ended.

Looking at the old German coach whose face was flushed from drinking, Gao Han could somewhat understand his mood.

During the game, Bayern Munich fans booed him many times, which hit him hard.

Maybe even worse than losing this game.

But this is professional football!

Gao Han's drinking capacity is not good, but Heathfield is not much better.

Before the two bottles of wine were finished, the old man was already thinking about it, nagging to death, how could he still have the demeanor of a famous European marshal when he was sober?

"Boy, don't say that I rely on the old to sell the old, but if you want to continue in this industry, there is one sentence you must remember."

"Well, I'm listening, tell me." Gao Han's attitude was quite sincere.

He has always respected the advice from his seniors.

As for whether you can listen to it or not, that is another matter.

"Many people think that for a head coach to take over a team, the biggest challenge comes from inside the stadium, but I tell you, no." Hitzfeld shook his head vigorously.

"When you reach a certain height, you will find that the biggest challenge for a professional head coach comes from outside the court and from the hearts of the people."

Gao Han drank some wine, but his mind was still not dizzy, showing a deep thought look.

"Let me tell you, coaching a team is like falling in love, it has a shelf life."

Gao Han sounded a little funny, but after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense, like Wang Jiawei.

"All couples are the same. At the beginning, they fought fiercely. They wanted to be together day and night. No matter how you look at them, you don't get tired of them. But after a long time, the freshness wears off, and everything It's all going to change."

After saying this, Heathfield took another glass of red wine from the table and drank it down.

It was only at this time that Gao Han discovered that the reason why he was in a bad mood was not just because he lost this game.

"You know, what's my biggest regret at Bayern Munich?"

Gao Han shook his head, how could he know?

"I didn't retire when the team won the Champions League and reached its peak."

When Heathfeld said this, his eyes showed remorse.

It can be seen that this is his sincere words.

"I was able to succeed in Bayern Munich because the team was dominated by me from top to bottom, with strong support from the management, and I decided on the formation of the team and the transfer of recruits, so I was able to do so in a short period of time. In two or three years, build Bayern Munich into the strongest team in Europe."

Before Hitzfeld took over, Bayern Munich was indeed in a relatively turbulent period, and after he took over, it was almost a step a year, bringing Bayern Munich to the ranks of the strongest teams in Europe.

Someone once said that the strongest Bayern Munich was in the 1998-99 season, which was the first season that Hitzfeld took over, but in the Champions League final, it was a little bit short and lost to Manchester United.

In the 1999-2000 season, Bayern Munich was still strong. They met Real Madrid four times. The three victories were 4-2, 4-1 and 2-1. They only lost one game at the Bernabeu 0-2. was eliminated.

It can be said that Bayern Munich in the past two seasons has been quite depressing.

However, in the 2001-2002 season, Bayern Munich finally got what they wanted and successfully reached the Champions League.

Hitzfeld and his team finally reached the top.

"Football has its own rules. When all teams reach their peak, there will inevitably be a decline and a trough. The same is true for Bayern Munich."

Hitzfeld thought for a while before continuing: "Actually, as early as the season when we won the Champions League, I already felt that the players on the team were getting older, and their physical fitness and state began to fail. It was even more evident last season."

Gao Han can understand.

For old players, they may not feel much during the league, but it is often an injury, or after a long vacation, when they return to the team, the feeling is particularly strong.

Therefore, for those old players, if they want to maintain their state, two things are essential. One is to avoid injuries as much as possible, and the other is to have amazing self-control.

"The management also knows, so they propose to be younger, and I know it too, but what can I do?"

When Heathfeld said this, his old eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't know whether it was because of drinking or because of his agitation.

"I can't tell them in front of this group of players who have been through life and death with me and have fought together for many years that you are old and the team doesn't want you anymore. I can't harden my heart and use some means to force them to accept the ball. Team arrangements, or leave the team, or simply retire, you know..."

Heathfield's voice was even a little choked up.

"... People, you always have feelings, let alone this group of players who have fought for you for many years..."

A professional head coach is like the general of an army, and the players are his soldiers.

The ancients said, love soldiers like sons, and the life-and-death friendship established with soldiers on the battlefield is often the deepest.

The same is often the case between professional head coaches and players.

Of course, this is not absolute, such as the famous Serie A coach Fabio Capello.

The head coach has publicly stated on many occasions that he only has work contact with the players and will not have any personal relationships, because he believes that personal relationships will affect his management of the team.

In a word, he is afraid of being emotional.

Bayern Munich's metabolism is progressing slowly, and it is estimated that it has something to do with Hitzfeld's delay in making a move.

At the beginning of the season, the Bundesliga media disclosed that Hitzfeld took care of the veteran during the training camp, which led to the unsatisfactory effect of the team's training camp.

Judging from all the previous observations, they all confirmed Gao Han's judgment.

"Professional football is so cruel, I believe you should also experience it. When your grades are good, everything is good, even your shortcomings will be regarded as advantages, but once your grades decline, all Everything has changed, those who praised you and affirmed you will question you, and even your strengths will become your fatal flaws."

Hitzfeld let out a long sigh, obviously deeply touched by this.

"Boy, let me tell you, your performance so far is really good, very good, but there are two things you must remember."

Gao Han smiled slightly, "Let's hear it."

"First, when choosing a team, you must not allow the management to intervene in the management and operation of the team. You must firmly hold the power in your hands. Otherwise, no one will listen to you at all, because in the top league, the head coach changes. more often than the players."

Gao Han nodded heavily.

This is already the third person who has said this to him.

Aragones and Heynckes before, and now Hitzfeld, have all said the same thing to him.

"There is also the second rule, never stay in a team for more than three years."

"why?"

"This is my experience and the experience of many others. In professional football, the shelf life of a relationship is at most three years. Ferguson's old monster is a special case, but there is only one Ferguson in the world."

It can be heard that Heathfield's words are also very serious.

"When you stay in a team for too long, you will inevitably have feelings for the team, the environment, and the people around you. This is a double-edged sword for a head coach, so , protect yourself, it is best not to stay in a team for too long, this is my advice to you."

After Heathfield finished speaking, there was another long sigh with mixed feelings.

Obviously, he regretted that he didn't choose to retire bravely when he was not in 2001.

If he retired at that time, the memory left to him and the Bayern Munich fans would be the best.

And when he retired at that time, he would not experience the pain and contradictions of the club's metabolism.

That should be the wisest choice for a head coach!

When the wine was finished, the words seemed to be exhausted.

Hitzfeld looked at the time, patted his legs vigorously, and stood up.

"You guys are doing really well at Atletico Madrid, but remember, no one can escape the rules of professional football, work hard, and you will definitely surprise everyone!"

At the end, Heathfield laughed and patted Gao Han's shoulder appreciatively.

"You too, don't put too much pressure on yourself, when things come to this, go with the flow." Gao Han also comforted him.

"Okay, don't act old in front of me, I understand these principles better than you."

Gao Han laughed.

"Oh, by the way, I've always wanted to tell you..."

"Um?"

"Your wine...is really bad!"

Heathfield raised his brows, I'll go, you kid is too ignorant, right?

How many people eagerly want to drink with me, but you are fine, why don't you feel disgusted when I ask you to drink?

"Before Heynckes gave me a case of good wine. When you return to Calderon and you lose to me again, please drink enough."

"Get lost!" Heathfield went into a rage on the spot.

Gao Han waved his hand with a laugh and left.

Heathfield was left alone in the empty conference hall, quite lonely.
