Chapter 71 The Ups and Downs of the Team

An unexpected defeat hit Hoffenheim hard, especially Nagelsmann. He attached great importance to this game. The team can now win the top team of Mainz this season, but lost to Stuttgart, the relegation opponent.

What makes Nagelsman most difficult to accept is the pride and complacency brought about by the team after a wave of consecutive victories. If it’s just a player, it’s fine. Even the members of the coaching staff, even him, are a little slack in his heart due to the joy brought by this winning streak and the media’s praise.

The result was a big lead of 5:1 for a time, and Stuttgart only chased two goals in a row when almost all of them died, and the final game was 5:3.

"I told you that this game is very important to us. As long as we can win this game, half of our relegation task this season will be completed. So I deliberately stepped on the field two days earlier to try to be foolproof; when you relax, I also try to let you relax, as long as it doesn't hurt anything. In the end, you treated me like this, so you won't have any extra holidays this month. The rest day that should have been canceled today, because we lost yesterday! But don't worry, I won't let you continue high-intensity after the game For training, I will arrange for you some recovery training and familiar analysis of tactics, but don’t expect any holidays.”

Nagelsmann said these words to his players, and even more to himself. He will engrave this disastrous defeat in his heart and become a monument in his coaching history, so that he will always remember what it would be like to suffer a disastrous defeat.

The players whose holidays were canceled can complain endlessly. After the winning streak, because of the urgent schedule, the head coach Nagelsmann's emphasis on the game with Stuttgart made the already hard and urgent schedule tasks even more onerous.

Although the coaching staff began to repeatedly emphasize to the team how important the next schedule is, every point in the remaining seven rounds is a key score for the team's relegation. However, in the home game against Cologne due to a mistake in the defense, the old general seized the opportunity to score a goal to equalize the score. In the end, they could only end the game with a score of 1:1 at home.

The relegation opponents all scored points in this round. After Stuttgart won Hoffenheim, they took advantage of the victory to beat Wolfsburg again 2:1. Hannover 96 drew Hertha Berlin.

The first mistake seems to be Hoffenheim. After two consecutive victories, more and more reports on Nagelsmann and Hoffenheim began in the media. The most important thing is the contract renewal of the team's core midfielder Rudy.

What worries Nagelsmann and Hoffenheim the most is that the media reported that the southern star Bayern Munich seems to have some interest in Rudy, and there is only one year left in the contract, which makes them look coveted for Rudy, a reserve international; One year later, he can go directly to Bayern Munich, and because the transfer fee is waived, Rudy will be satisfied with the annual salary.

The problem of players' salaries has always been a heart disease for many Bundesliga clubs. Many people say that Bayern Munich likes to use the club's attractiveness to exempt players from the Bundesliga, making the overall competitiveness of the Bundesliga lower and maintaining Bayern Munich's dominance.

In fact, because of the Bundesliga’s 50+1 policy and the healthy operation of the league, the club’s cash flow depends entirely on the club’s ability to absorb money, so the club strictly controls player purchases and contract renewals. When some middle and lower Bundesliga players are kicked out and hope to get a reasonable higher salary, the club is likely to fail to provide the player’s psychological salary requirements. In the end, players who are more loyal to the club will take a step back and renew the team; better club.

So the Bundesliga is not just Bayern Munich's visa-free Bundesliga players, but the overall environment of the Bundesliga.

However, not all German clubs are like this. The Bundesliga club RB Leipzig is an outlier. Even in the Bundesliga, it has already received the attention and condemnation of many clubs in the Bundesliga.

The coach Nagelsmann was also paid attention to by the media. During the winning streak, Nagelsmann was praised as a role model for German young coaches and a famous German coach in the next few decades.

Even if the coaching staff canceled the extra holiday after the game, all the problems of extra training were discovered and reported by the media; even if Polanski, who was the captain in the locker room, stood up, the joint vice-captain Bowman now asked all the players to be unanimous in the locker room.
