Chapter 395 New Coach
Author: Sanjingshou
On Monday morning, the entire Bayern team came to the training base on Sebena Street for joint training.
The rumors of the head coach's dismissal made everyone look confused and confused.
When they discovered that An Pang, who always arrived early, did not take a leisurely walk on the court, they suddenly felt something was wrong.
Captain Neuer and vice-captain Muller were also not on the court. The seriousness of the matter is self-evident.
As training time approached, Sagnol, another assistant coach of the team, came over with the support of the captain and vice captain.
Sagnol, who played for Bayern for nine years, won many honors with the team including the Champions League.
After retiring, he served as the head coach of France U21 and French Ligue 1 team Bordeaux.
Then he joined the Bayern youth training team and started as an assistant coach.
After Ancelotti took over the team, he became his assistant.
He has good prestige within the team and helps Ancelotti handle some trivial matters.
Looking at his serious and majestic appearance as a head coach, the players were already guessing in their minds.
After gathering all the members, Sagnol slowly said: "Before we start training, I want to convey two things."
"First thing, I regret to tell you that Mr. Ancelotti is no longer the team's head coach. I am currently temporarily supervising the team's training and games."
Although they were mentally prepared, the players couldn't help but sigh when they heard the news that An Pang was dismissed from get out of class.
Sagnol pressed down his right hand, indicating to keep quiet, and continued: "The second thing is our next two games."
"The current situation is not optimistic. We must win in the league and the Champions League."
"We are all professional players. Now is not the time to be sentimental. Winning is what we should do."
After a brief speech, Sagnol gestured with his eyes to the team's captains and vice-captains, asking them to lead the team in training.
Compared with An Pang's relaxed training environment, Sagnol still requires players to maintain high-intensity exercise during daily training to improve players' concentration on the game.
Although he admired An Pang very much, he disagreed with his training methods.
When the players are in a low mood, they cannot indulge in their usual lazy training.
The day's training went fairly well, and the players didn't have too many negative emotions, making Sagnol confident about the future.
After returning to the villa, Bayern's official statement was finally released.
Ancelotti is dismissed!
Professionals believe that Bayern was too hasty in sacking Ancelotti.
Any team will be in a downturn for a period of time. It is unheard of for any club to fire a coach who has just led the team to win the "Five Crowns" after six games without winning.
Even Real Madrid, which always likes to change coaches, was shocked after learning the news.
The club manager even said in an interview with the media that Ancelotti should be respected enough.
The implication is that Bayern is too anxious to fire Ancelotti, at least until the winter break or the end of the season.
This decision is very likely to affect the upcoming Club World Cup.
The clues can be seen from the fact that several veteran Bayern players publicly supported Ancelotti after his dismissal.
The conflict between Bayern and Ancelotti is not just due to poor results.
The development of the situation is far from over. Just 24 hours after Ancelotti dismissed get out of class, the German media once again broke the news.
Rossi will not renew his contract with Bayern.
The media believes that as one of Ancelotti's "closeties", Rossi's non-renewal of his contract is a silent protest against the club.
But after all, this is groundless speculation by the media, and Bayern's senior management has not made any response to this matter.
Time soon came to the weekend, Bayern went away to challenge Wolfsburg.
Sagnol made some changes to the lineup, putting Boateng in the main position after returning from injury, and Ribery started in place of Koeman.
He believes that Süle's ability is worthy of recognition, but his ability to play the ball in the backcourt is not as good as Boateng's, which will affect the team's advancement speed when switching from defense to offense.
As for Ribery, Sagnol needs his influence and locker room status to stabilize military morale.
"Boss, is this okay?"
Assistant Larry Ellison reminded in a low voice: "Would this make the higher-ups dissatisfied?"
The dissatisfaction Larry mentioned was that Rossi was placed in the starting position.
As an insider, of course he knew some gossip, but he didn't put it on the table, and he didn't dare to say more.
Sagnol sneered and sneered: "Whatever, I'm not a fucking senior leader, I'm just a coach."
After the game started, Bayern's offensive rhythm was very fast. After a simple transition in the midfield, they directly found Ribery on the wing.
Ribery bypassed the defense and passed the ball, finding the high point in front of Lewandowski to fight for the top. This is also one of Bayern's commonly used wing tactics.
Different from Ancelotti's tactics, Bayern does not need to control the ball too much in the midfield, but uses its strong forward combat capabilities to quickly resolve the battle.
This is also the kind of attacking football that Bayern fans love.
Although Ancelotti was in charge, the team scored a lot of goals in a season.
But at its core, it is still a balanced offense and defense, and fans can easily fall into drowsy passing.
As a Bayern legend, the first thing Sagnol has to do is to carry out offensive football.
In the 28th minute, Bayern finally found a chance amid the continuous siege.
Thiago took the corner kick and came to the back point. Hummels' header from the front point missed it, changed its flight path, and was headed into the goal by Lewandowski from the back point.
After taking the lead, the Bayern team's morale was high, and towards the end of the first half, Lewandowski scored another victory.
A two-goal lead in the away game allowed fans to see that Bayern was recovering step by step under the command of the interim head coach.
But in the second half, the situation on the field began to change.
Wolfsburg head coach Labbadia began to strengthen the fighting on the wing to disrupt Bayern's offensive rhythm.
If it's Koeman or Retona on the wing, it won't have much impact.
But the aging Ribery could not withstand the impact of Wolfsburg defenders, and Bayern's offense suddenly came to a standstill.
While Sagnol was thinking about countermeasures, Wolfsburg made a steal in the backcourt and launched a counterattack. High center Weghorst scored with a header and got a goal back.
Subsequently, Wolfsburg began to steal more aggressively and press the midfielder, causing Bayern's defense to be frequently threatened for a period of time.
Although Sagnol made personnel adjustments and tried every means to regain the initiative.
But the midfielder's loss of ground made it difficult to take first place.
On the contrary, Wolfsburg launched several threatening attacks during this period after stealing the ball in the midfield.
With the cooperation of Hummels and Boateng, the slight advantage of this goal was barely maintained.
The game entered the 80th minute, and the loss of control in the midfield forced Bayern to launch an attack from the backcourt.
Boateng's through ball penetrated three of Wolfsburg's defense lines.
Rossi, who was invisible throughout the game, successfully countered offside and ran into the penalty area with the ball. He made two fake shots and dunks in a row, passing the defensive player and scoring the ball.
This goal stabilized the morale of the army like a timely rain.
In the end, Bayern won the away game without any danger.
The Frenchman Sagnol's debut allowed fans to see his coaching level. He is passionate, but his ability to adjust on the spot is poor.
With his ability, he is temporarily unable to serve as Bayern head coach.
Bayern still has to continue looking for a new head coach.
Two days later, sporting director Salihamidzic announced that the club had found a new head coach.
He is the meritorious coach who once led Bayern to win the Triple Crown and has retired.
Joseph Heynckes.
