Super Marshal

Chapter 603 A bad start

According to the rules of the German League Cup, the first knockout round is scheduled to be held at a neutral stadium. Bayern Munich's match against Werder Bremen was arranged to be held at the LTU Stadium in Dusseldorf.

Although it was just a German League Cup, this game attracted thousands of fans who heard the news.

According to the information provided by the organizer, more than 50,000 tickets were sold out on the first day of ticket sales. There are even many fans who cannot get tickets and are looking for scalpers to ask for one. A game ticket.

This is not only a duel between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen, but also the first official game of Gao Han's coaching in the Bundesliga.

The game was scheduled to be held in the afternoon, but starting from the morning, fans from Germany and even all over Europe continued to pour into Dusseldorf and gathered around the LTU Stadium.

In the past half month, there has not been much news about Bayern Munich and Gao Han.

After spending a continuous transfer budget of 100 million euros, Bayern Munich is mainly purging a number of redundant personnel in the team in the transfer market, streamlining the team's lineup configuration, and also saving the team's expenses.

The only information fans and the media know is that Gao Han led the team to Donauerschengen for training and played two warm-up games. One was a 6-0 victory, but the second game only won 1-0.

According to media reporters who went to watch the game, they played well in the first game, but basically continued Bayern Munich's traditional playing style. However, a lot changed in the second game, adopting a more proactive high-pressing style. Pass and control play, but the effect is not ideal.

The opponents in both games were not strong, so Bayern Munich deserved to win, but their performance in the second game was unsatisfactory, which also caused many people to worry. Gao Han challenged Werder Bremen in the first game. Whether you can escape unscathed.

In addition to attracting fans, the game also attracted many veterans and celebrities in German football.

Bayern Munich's three giants gathered in Dusseldorf to supervise the team's first official game of the new season.

Before entering the stadium, the Big Three were interviewed by media reporters. They all expressed their confidence in Gao Han and believed that he could bring unique changes to the team.

In addition to the three giants of Bayern Munich, the German Football Association also arranged for many people to come to the scene, and the national team coach Loew also came to watch the game in person.

"Haha, you're here too, Yoachim."

On the rostrum, Loew immediately greeted Bayern Munich's big three as soon as he saw them. Beckenbauer was also very happy to see the national team coach, and several people exchanged greetings eagerly in the stands.

"I definitely want to come to Mr. Gao Han's first official game." Loew explained his purpose with a smile.

"Furthermore, I have long been interested in the young players he promoted and introduced. According to previous media reports, I heard that he promoted Hummels to the main position. I was very curious. I also heard that he promoted Lahm successively. If Schweinsteiger transforms into a defensive midfielder, then I would like to take a look even more."

The current midfield of the German national team is also very lacking in this type of organizational players, especially after Schneider and other players retired. Although Ballack is in charge, there are still more players like Kyle and Frings. The players are somewhat inconsistent with Loew's team strategy.

According to Loew's ideas, he still hopes to be able to play more proactive passing and control.

Now, Gao Han's coaching at Bayern Munich is undoubtedly paving the way for him.

"Rhm played in a group match and I heard he performed well, but he soon returned to playing left back. Bastian Schweinsteiger was fixed, but his performance was relatively average, so we are a little worried." Beckenbauer looked worried.

They all know Gao Han's preferences and coaching philosophy. This is precisely the reason why they invited Gao Han to coach. But everyone knows that the most scarce thing in European football today is an organizational midfielder, because this has become a strong player. The team's standard equipment, the goal of the wealthy teams.

But Loew didn't seem worried, "I don't think so. Mr. Gao Han has always been very accurate in judging people, and he also has his own ideas about hiring people. Since he uses Bastian Schweinsteiger, he must have his own ideas." Let’s take a closer look at the idea.”

Everyone also felt that this was the truth.

However, Thomas Schaff is a well-known offensive maniac in German football. Werder Bremen under his coaching has always been the most offensive team in the Bundesliga. Although Klose left this season, the overall Strength remains unchanged.

Gao Han faced Schaff in his first official game, and the team had just been reorganized, so it was hard to say whether he would win or lose.

…………

…………

In fact, the progress of the game also confirmed outside speculation.

Bayern Munich has just been reorganized. Although they have been training for two weeks, the players are still relatively unfamiliar with each other. In addition, almost all the players are still adapting to the new football concepts brought by the cold weather. This makes Bayern Munich's start very difficult. Oops.

On the contrary, Werder Bremen took full advantage of Bayern Munich's weakness and created a shot in the first two minutes.

When the game progressed to the ninth minute, Schweinsteiger did not follow up with his opponent immediately. Borowski passed a diagonal pass from the right. Fritz stepped in to catch the ball and shook off Lyle. In front of the goal, Borowski stepped in, got ahead of Lucio, and scored the first goal for Werder Bremen.

This goal also greatly stimulated the morale of Werder Bremen.

Every one of their players knows very well that they are facing Gao Han in this game. As long as they can defeat Gao Han, what awaits them will be fame in one battle.

And Gao Han also knew very clearly that with a bad start, the game would be difficult to play.

"Bastian." Gao Han walked to the sidelines and shouted.

Bastian Schweinsteiger on the court turned around, saw the head coach waving to him, and immediately ran out quickly.

"You're too nervous. Relax. You should have followed me just now."

Schweinsteiger nodded, knowing he had made a mistake, "I was worried that I would leave the position too far."

He has never played the position of being alone in the back, which makes him a little confused, especially in the official game, when the opponent hits him like this, he is a little confused.

"Don't worry, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You should think about it. There is Van Bommel in front of you. He will protect you."

Piggy nodded vigorously, "I understand how to do it."

"Remember, stay calm and give me control of the ball. If you are not sure, then try to pass less forward and more to the sides and behind. What I require of you at this stage is stable passing and transition. "

Schweinsteiger nodded, "I understand."

"Go." Gao Han patted him on the back and sent him back to the court.

But Gao Han did not retreat. Instead, he shouted to Modric on the court, indicating that the Croatian midfielder should be more active and proactive in getting and asking for the ball. Van Bommel should actively pressure the opponent and protect the ball. Midfield.

After he finished doing this, he slowly retreated and exhaled heavily.

"Van Bommel is too tall and not flexible enough," Cantarero said.

This remark pointedly pointed out the problem of the Dutch midfielder.

Van Bommel's advantage is obvious. He can participate in the offense going forward. He was the team's third leading scorer last season, and he can participate in defense going forward. However, he is 1.87 meters tall, plus his age. Because of this, it is difficult for him to exert sustained pressure on his opponents in this midfield position.

"Take another look, and if it doesn't work, bring Bastian Schweinsteiger up and let Lahm play as a midfielder." Gao Han also had a countermeasure, thinking that he had a better chance in the group match when he played Lahm as a midfielder. The result is still very satisfactory.

As for Vidal, whom he is also quite optimistic about, he has not returned to the team yet, and the situation is not very clear.

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Han entered the coaching system.

"Start using the five-star passing card, target: Bastian Schweinsteiger."

"Start using the five-star assist card, target: Modric."

"The combination card effect was successfully activated, and the ball was not passed in vain."

…………

…………

I don’t know whether Werder Bremen relaxed their pressure on Bayern Munich’s midfield after taking the lead, or whether Gao Han’s adjustments were effective. Everyone on the scene who knew how to analyze the situation gradually discovered that the Bundesliga giant’s midfield passing began. It gradually became smoother.

Bastian Schweinsteiger was a little slow and hesitant in passing and receiving the ball, but now he plays very concisely and efficiently. He often receives the ball with one kick and releases the ball with one kick. Modric, Van Bommel, Hu Players such as Myers, Lucio and Lahm also began to move around Bastian Schweinsteiger.

"Okay, take your time, that's it, don't be in a hurry, control the ball first and stabilize the rhythm."

In the stands, Loew heard Gao Han's cry.

It didn't sound like he was trying to hide anything from anyone, including his rival Schaff.

As Bastian Schweinsteiger gradually enters his role, and there are teammates around him to support him at any time, Bayern Munich's midfield and backcourt passing and control gradually become smoother. Werder Bremen tried to press several times but failed. Failed to achieve results.

But what really changed the trend of the game happened in the 24th minute.

Modric dropped back to meet Bastian Schweinsteiger and when he received the ball with his back to the attacking direction, Frings followed closely behind him.

But when the Croatian received the ball, he suddenly stopped and turned around to get rid of Frings, and then suddenly rushed forward with the ball.

This sudden change surprised everyone in the stadium and shocked the fans in the stands.

I saw Modric take a few steps forward and pass the ball diagonally to the right in front of the defensive player. Ribery received the ball on the right and faced the opponent's defensive player one-on-one. , dribbling the ball, suddenly accelerated, threw away the defensive player and passed with his right foot, lofting the ball into the penalty area.

Klose seized the most powerful position early and headed the ball from close range.

However, Werder Bremen's goalkeeper Wiese blocked the ball with one hand at the critical moment, but the ball did not fly out. Van Bommel came from behind, near the goal line, and directly headed the ball into the goal with his forehead.

The referee's whistle sounded to confirm that the goal was valid, and the whole audience cheered!

One to one!

Everyone on the court rushed towards Van Bommel to celebrate his goal.

On the sidelines, Gao Han was also full of surprises, because Van Bommel responded very quickly to this follow-up shot.

In fact, the Dutch should have been on guard for Wiese to save it. Therefore, even if the ball flew out directly at that time, he would be able to fight it down before everyone else and then hit the goal.

Of course, if you want to trace back the credit, Modric's escape and push and Ribery's forced breakthrough are both quite outstanding.

"Okay, that's it, keep this rhythm and keep playing like this." Gao Han applauded and shouted from the sidelines.

After equalizing the score, Bayern Munich's players became obviously more confident.
