Chapter 1 Loew's Deliberate Small Talk
Frankfurt is just the abbreviation of this city, just like the Chinese sometimes call Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou only Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The full name of Frankfurt is very long-lasting - Frankfurt am Main.
Around the Three Kingdoms period in China, the Roman Empire built a thousand-mile Great Wall near Frankfurt, connecting the Rhine and the Danube to form a natural barrier to prevent barbarians from the north. Times have changed, and now, except for the book friends of "Golden Green"
At this point, even most Europeans don’t know that there was a low-imitation version of the Great Wall here.
Today, Frankfurt is not only Germany's largest transportation hub, but also one of the most important aviation transit cities in Europe and even the world. It is also the location of the German Football Association, and Schneis Street, not far from the Football Association's office building, is a quiet place in the midst of chaos.
A great place to be covered with green trees, the German national team's management and technical center is located here.
On this international match day, the German team did not have a formal match, but only played a friendly match with the visiting Ecuadorian national team as planned. After the game, the players disbanded on the spot. Head coach Yuachim Löw
He also returned to Frankfurt with national team leader Oliver Bierhoff, and the technical center has a complete collection of intelligence, data analysis, and other required departments.
Since taking over Klinsmann as the national team coach after the World Cup, Loeff has performed well in his new position in the past few months. In the 2oo8 European Championship qualifiers, he also won the score of 13:0 and was also defeated by Cyprus.
1:1 The embarrassing moment of tying.
Loeff's takeover was a bit controversial in German football because he really had no fame.
Looking at the nine coaches before him - yes, in more than 80 years of history, there are only nine coaches in the German national team, which is very stable - Beckard, Fogtz, and even Woller, Klinsmann
All of them are famous when playing football and are expected to be coaches. However, the resume of Löw's professional players is really shabby. They have only been free in the Bundesliga for their entire lives. They were hit by the dust when they tried to try the waters in the Bundesliga twice.
After retirement, he changed his career and became a coach. He was the runner-up in the FA Cup and the Winners Cup. It was not worth mentioning in the eyes of many outstanding veteran coaches in Germany. In Karlsruhe and Turkey, a bad club twice due to their results.
The bad guy was fired early, which was even more ridiculous in his coaching career.
But Klinsman is Louf's noble man. The two have studied at a football coaching school together. Klinsman knows that Louf has a high level of attainment in football skills, tactics and football theory, so after serving as the head coach of the national team, he
He invited the unknown Lof to become his assistant coach.
Klinsmann is highly praised by the industry for bringing German football at a low point to the semi-finals of the World Cup and taking initial results in the youth and technical transformation of the national team. It is precisely because of his strong recommendation that Löw can be so narrowly
Almost became the new head coach, because Klinsman knew very well that in his series of successes, Löw made great contributions in planning. From a technical perspective, Löw has a high enough level to serve as the head coach of the national team.
.But it is inevitable that Lou can't convince the public for the time being. Many eyes stare at him and find fault with him.
Lov is now like walking a tightrope, and he cannot tolerate any deviation. Now in the German Football Association, his biggest supporter behind him is the national team leader, Bierkhov.
If the national team is regarded as an office, the head coach is the designer, and the team leader is the office director.
Internally, Bielhof shocked all players who attempted to challenge and despise the authority of Louf with his brilliant player experience and strong aura. Externally, because of his strong Serie A background, Bielhof was in German football.
However, he is very comfortable in all aspects and is above the struggles of various factions of German football. Moreover, he has a good relationship with UEFA and can speak in many big shots.
There is no problem with the organizational talent and command art, but he has no experience and has just arrived for the first time. He must rely on Bierkhov's support to gain a foothold in this storm. Bierkhov is also very professional at this point.
Lov was grateful for this and respected Bierkhov very much.
.
"Oliver, what do you think of Jurgen's prospects in Bayern Munich?" Löv asked Bielhof in the office of the Technology Center. On this leisurely afternoon, the two of them chatted with coffee, and the winter sun was shining through the glass
It feels very comfortable to dry on your body.
The former head coach of Germany, Jurgen Klinsmann, took office at Bayern a few days ago, replacing interim coach Summer. At the 1996 European Championships, it was the main center Klinsmann who spared no effort to support Bielhof.
It made him rise rapidly in the German national team and left behind the magical legend of the world's first golden ball in that European Championship final. The German team also ended the game with Bierkhov's golden ball
champion.
Bielhoff is a bureaucrat, but he is also a man in the world. He has no lack of passionate desire to avenge his enemies. He misses Klinsman very much, and it is also the entrusted Klinsman when he left office.
, He has not hesitated to support Lof now.
"To be honest, this is a bit difficult to say. I think Jurgen should go to Italy or England first. Bayern has been a little impetuous in the past two years and is too competitive." Bierkhov said. As a former football superstar, he is a former football star.
And now an important official, Bierkhov's view on football is very insightful.
"Well..., I think so too. Speaking of which, it's all because of Madiborg. In the past two years, they have completely disrupted the situation in the Bundesliga, forcing Bayern to be in a hurry, and their long-term planning has also become chaotic."
Husband said.
Bielhof picked up the pot and filled the coffee in the cup for Lov. "Haha, it's not because of Madibor. Isn't Madibor still in a slum this year? It's because of Zhuo Yang, Zhuo Yang disrupted the entire Bundesliga.
That made Bayern Munich panic. Now this kid slapped his butt and went to Milan, leaving Madibor dizzy and leaving the Bundesliga in a mess."
The situation in the Bundesliga this year is very chaotic. Stuttgart, Bremen, Schalke and other teams are willing to be strong and not weak to meet weak or strong, and they are shaking and occupying the top of the standings. On the contrary, the two players in the past two years, Bayern and Madibor are not in decline.
The ranking of about ten is like a mess.
"Yes, it's all because of this boy Zhuo Yang. The Bundesliga lost Zhuo Yang, and it was a big loss. It would take a while to find a new order." Lough sighed, but his eyes showed a gleam. "But Zhuo
Yang doesn’t seem to be very adaptable in Milan, and his goals are not as exaggerated as in previous years.”
"It takes some time to adapt. He is too young after all. But I am very optimistic about him. Serie A will definitely not be difficult for Zhuo Yang." Bierhoff highly praised Zhuo Yang.
"Oliver in Serie A, you are an expert. If you say there is no problem, then there will be no problem. But..." Lou suddenly changed his tone: "Then... Oliver, see if we can bring up Zhuo Yang to the point of attracting Zhuo Yang.
The schedule is here? Can the national team take the initiative?"
