Chapter 449 The Worst Champions League Coach
Between the fifth round and the 20th round of No.26 in La Liga, there is exactly one week of truce.

During this period, UNICEF's World Cup promotional video was filmed in Germany, where the World Cup is held.

This is a routine project that will be arranged every World Cup. The German World Cup Organizing Committee also attaches great importance to it. Beckenbauer is very concerned about it and provided a lot of convenience for the shooting of this promotional film. At the same time, he also called on the German domestic football community to do their best. Support, including the national team coach Klinsmann, the team's number one star Ballack, etc., were all present.

Su Dong also invited superstars including Ronaldinho, Zidane, Henry, Beckham, Shevchenko, Ronaldo, Lampard, Juninho Jr. and Gerrard to attend. In addition, he also specially invited friends such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Totti.

Totti was specially invited by Su Dong, because the last time he shot an advertisement for Pepsi, Totti once said that he would publish [Totti's Joke Collection] and donate all the copyrights he got. In fact, he did it.

All the stars are responsible for their own air tickets, while the hotel and reception are all in charge of the World Cup organizers in Germany, Su Dong is responsible for the initiation, and the shooting is left to professional directors.

The filming is mainly divided into two parts, one part is in Europe, which is mainly based on the game shots and confessions of the stars, and the other part is the filming team going deep into the impoverished areas of Africa, the real scene shooting scene, the two parts of the screen switch back and forth, through the appeal of the stars, I hope to arouse more resonance.

To this end, Sudong also specially invited Drogba and Eto'o, the two most influential stars in Africa at the moment.

……

The shoot went smoothly, mostly without issue.

After the end, the players have to participate in a charity event, not to face the public, but to provide some of their own donations.

For example, Su Dong provided a jersey he wore in the first round of the Champions League round of [-] against Lyon, and signed it, as well as a pair of signed football boots.

The donations of other players are basically the same. What is more special is that the football king Pele also sent a special donation, which is a football with his signature.

All donations will be sent to the Internet soon, and will be auctioned around the world, and all auction proceeds will be donated to UNICEF as charity.

In addition, as the host, the German World Cup Organizing Committee will also donate an additional sum of money.

There were no accidents during the whole event. Whether it was the organizer or the United Nations, they were all very professional. Obviously, they all knew that the time of the stars was precious and they didn't waste too much time.

After the event, the organizers and UNICEF jointly held a press conference. Su Dong attended the meeting as a goodwill ambassador, while representatives of the organizers were football emperor Beckenbauer and German coach Heynckes.

The press conference itself has nothing to say, but it was Heynckes who aroused Su Dong's interest.

This gray-haired old coach is not very famous, let alone compared with the popular Mourinho, Benitez, or Ferguson, Wenger, Ancelotti and others, even compared with Hiddink and others, he is still quite inferior.

It can even be said that not many people know about it.

But he is also a Champions League champion coach.

Winning the Champions League is undoubtedly an important yardstick for measuring a head coach.

But it is also interesting to say that among the head coaches who have won the Champions League in recent years, Heynckes has the least sense of presence.

why?

This may have something to do with him being fired by Real Madrid after winning the Champions League, and his poor coaching in the following years.

The coach of the Champions League champion, he condescended to coach the Portuguese Super League Benfica, but he only finished third. Athletic Bilbao, who coached the Basque Lions in La Liga, also ranked in the middle. It was even worse when he returned to Germany to coach Schalke [-]. He ranked in the middle in the first season.

This is really too bad.

It’s really interesting to say that, whether it was during the filming just now or during the press conference later, Su Dong could feel that whether it was the German coach Klinsmann and his assistant Joachim Loew, or the football emperor Beckenbauer, they all respected Heynckes, and it could even be seen that they had a close relationship.

After the press conference, Su Dong and Heynckes were waiting for the bus, and the two chatted for a few words.

Heynckes mentioned that he has been watching Barcelona's games recently, watching every game, "I like Barcelona's football style very much, but to be honest, it may be difficult for other teams to learn it."

"Barcelona's football genes are indeed very unique." Su Dong laughed.

"No no no, because Barcelona has a lot of talent, especially like you, Ronaldinho and Messi."

Su Dong thought it was flattering him, and immediately smiled politely.

But Heynckes explained seriously: "Actually, Cruyff's football philosophy has always been unwilling to admit that he needs geniuses very much. He always feels that the purpose of his passing and possession tactics is to stimulate the creativity of players, but this needs a group of players with outstanding talents. This is the complete opposite of Van Gaal."

"Van Gaal doesn't seem to use his genius well." Su Dong thought of Riquelme.

"It's very simple. Genius equals instability. Sometimes they work well and sometimes they don't work. Many people don't like this. We call this risk aversion. Van Gaal, Mourinho and Benitez are all head coaches who don't like risks very much, and this has gradually become the mainstream in European football."

Su Dong thought about it carefully, and immediately felt that it made a lot of sense.

Alkmaar, coached by Van Gaal, showed weakness in the Eredivisie and once again aroused heated discussions about his offensive football in European football, but his stability may not be enough. After all, Alkmaar's strength is limited.

But the two guys, Mourinho and Benitez, are for stability and can do whatever it takes.

Why did Rehhagel's Greece win the European Cup?

It is because of stability!
With the strength of Greece, it is not stable enough, and even a slight mistake is enough to cause them to die several times.

But this team finally reached the top of Europe, which proves that they are stable enough.

"In the past few years, the transformation of European football has become more and more stable, and there will be less and less room for talents. So you see, Barcelona this season is in a hurry. In essence, it no longer depends on Ronaldinho's talent. Instead, it depends on your stability and efficiency."

Heynckes' words made Su Dong make a lot of associations.

Coaches and players see things differently and think in different directions.

Su Dong was suddenly very interested in Heynckes, and immediately chatted with him, especially about football.

Heynckes has a very thorough understanding of football. Now that he is free at home, he has enough time to think about it. Many views have also made Su Dong feel fresh, and he finds them very reasonable and interesting.

For example, he made a judgment that the most indispensable person in the Barcelona coaching staff was not Rijkaard, but Ten Carter.

"I know the division of labor between the two of them, but from a management point of view, every team must have a role like Ten Carter, especially when the team has so many Brazilian players like Barcelona. Without Rijkaard, Ten Carter can command very well. This has been proved by the game, but without Ten Carter, Barcelona will definitely be chaotic."

Su Dong knew the importance of Ten Carter and knew that he and Rijkaard were singing oboe, but he had never raised Ten Carter to such a high position, although he knew that Ten Carter was very capable.

But what Heynckes said, Su Dong thought about it for a while, it seemed that Ten Carter was really the bad guy on weekdays.

For example, Ronaldinho likes to go to nightclubs. Every time Ten Carter came forward to accuse him, or even reprimanded him, but Ronaldinho was so angry that his teeth hurt every time. At this time, the head coach Frank Rijkaard came forward to be a peacemaker.

If there is no Ten Carter, Rijkaard can control Ronaldinho and others?
Thinking of this, Su Dong couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly.

He couldn't imagine that picture.

…………

…………

"How do you feel about him?"

When Su Dong got into the reception car and left, Beckenbauer and Heynckes saw him off side by side.

Watching Audi leave, the football emperor asked with concern.

"It's pretty good. Needless to say, its strength is good, its temperament is good, the key is self-discipline, and its image is also very good. Now that it is actively participating in this kind of charity activities, its influence will be even greater and its future will be limitless." Heynckes laughed.

He chatted with Su Dong for more than half an hour, and they had a good chat.

"Herbert asked me, have you ever thought about poaching him in the Bundesliga?"

"Poach him to the Bundesliga?" Heynckes was taken aback, "It's unrealistic."

"It's really unrealistic." Beckenbauer nodded, "But you can also see that the Bundesliga is on the eve of revival, and our talent pool is almost exhausted. Klinsmann is reforming the national team, and the league and clubs have to keep up. If Su Dong can come, with his influence, it will definitely help our Bundesliga to further enhance the influence of the world, especially in Asia, and many domestic sponsors are also very interested."

It can be said that Beckenbauer bit the bullet and applied for this World Cup in Germany, which is full of many controversies, because according to the usual practice, the World Cup is held in rotation by continents. France just held it in [-], and South Korea and Japan in [-]. As usual, other continents should be in [-]. For example, South Africa in Africa has been bidding, but Germany has stepped in.

The reason is simple, German football needs this fire!

The World Cup is on fire, and the Bundesliga also needs a fire!

"In my opinion, he is ambitious and will not leave Barcelona easily, and even if he does leave in the future, he will not come to the Bundesliga, unless you are really willing to spend money to help him build a team capable of hitting the Champions League, which is basically impossible."

Today's Bundesliga is not attractive and cannot compete with the other three major leagues.

In this case, what can the Bundesliga do to attract Su Dong?
"Who knows?" Beckenbauer chuckled, "I really have a hunch that the world of European football may change, and the opportunity for our Bundesliga revival may be approaching!"

The corner of Heynckes' mouth twitched, a hunch?

He never believed in such illusory things.
