Super Marshal

Frank Pagelsdorf is a man with a story.

Even though he was only forty-nine years old, he was once the most famous player in German football.

His career was not brilliant, he made his debut in Bielefeld, reached the top in Dortmund, then went to Hannover 96, retiring early at the age of 31.

But he did not leave professional football.

In 1992, at the age of 34, he became the head coach of the Berlin League. He led the team for two years and achieved good results.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the merger of East and West Germany, the East German team was almost completely defeated in front of the West German team. They won the last league championship of the GDR in Rostock, and participated in the first season of the German League after the merger. Relegated to the bottom score.

In 1994, the East German team, which had been in the Bundesliga for two seasons, found Pagelsdorf, and the latter did not disappoint, leading the team to win the Bundesliga in the first season. The league champion, led the team back to the Bundesliga, and the Bundesliga debut season won the league sixth in one breath, called the best dark horse of the season.

That year, Pagelsdorf appeared in the sight of German fans for the first time.

Although in the third season of coaching Rostock, the team's performance has declined, but Pagelsdorf still led the team to relegation successfully, and in the summer of 1997, he moved to the Bundesliga club at the time, Beida King Hamburg. .

At that time, Hamburg had just experienced a downturn, and the results have been sluggish for many years. The club invited legendary superstar Uvi Schiller as its chairman, and the latter enthusiastically invited Pagelsdorf to take charge of Hamburg.

Pagelsdorf was unable to refuse the invitation from his childhood idol. Not only did he coach Hamburg, he even signed a bizarre clause with the club, that is, once Uvi Schiller resigns as chairman, he will leave freely. team.

This also caused a huge response in Germany at the time.

Unexpectedly, not long after he led the team, Uvi Schiller was forced to resign due to financial problems. Although it was later proved that it had nothing to do with Schiller, it would be difficult for him to return to the team.

However, Pagelsdorf did not leave the team for this reason. Instead, he led the team's performance to improve year by year. After the accumulation of the ninth and seventh seasons, in the nine-nine-zero season, he Reached the peak of his coaching career, third in the league.

That was also Hamburg's best league performance in the past few years.

The good times didn't last long. One year later, Hamburg's performance fell again, and Pagelsdorf was forced to leave the team. Later, he coached Osnabrück and Dubai's Wasl, but the results were not particularly satisfactory.

Until the summer of 2005, Rostock was relegated from the Bundesliga again, but he suffered two consecutive losses in the beginning of the Bundesliga. One of them was a 4-1 defeat in the away game to Munich 1860. Invite Pagelsdorf.

This time, it took Pagelsdorf two seasons to finally bring Rostock back to the Bundesliga.

At the age of forty-nine, with more than ten years of coaching experience, Pagelsdorf deeply felt that he was at a crossroads in his career. If he could lead Rostock to reproduce the dark horse journey that year, then he It will usher in the second spring of his coaching career. Conversely, if Rostock fails to relegation, his coaching career in the Bundesliga will end.

If you want to play the dark horse again, the first round of the league against Bayern Munich is crucial.

He still clearly remembers that in August 1999, it was also at Bayern Munich’s home stadium. At that time, the Bundesliga giant was still at the Olympic Stadium, and the head coach was Heathfield. Paggersdorf led his Hamburg at the Olympic Stadium. The home of the mortal enemy Nan Dawang almost overturned the huge ship Bayern Munich.

It was the most memorable game in his coaching career, and it was also the game he was most proud of.

Although his team was away, it caused considerable trouble for the home team, especially the anti-offensive attack, which made Bayern Munich very uncomfortable. It was not until the 33rd minute of the first half that Marcus Babel didn’t get used to it. First record for Bayern Munich.

But just two minutes later, Kovacs equalized for the Hamburg team.

After that, the two sides played very stalemately. Under the tenacious defense and sharp attack of the Hamburg team, Bayern Munich could not find a chance to start at all. Instead, in the 82nd minute of the second half, another error occurred and was caught by the Hamburg team. Score a goal.

The score of two to one has been maintained until stoppage time, and even everyone thought that the Hamburg team would take away Bayern Munich, but as a result, at the last moment, Elber's key goal helped the Nanda King escape.

In the end, the two teams shook hands two to two.

But for Hamburg in the away game, such a good start is undoubtedly a victory.

Also affected by this game, the morale of the Hamburg team was greatly boosted. In the next three games, they beat Stuttgart 3-0. They won Schalke 3-4 at home and beat Hertha Berlin by 5 to 3 at home. The winning streak and four undefeated rounds made an amazing start.

Time passed, and Pagelsdorf still missed his masterpiece of the year.

The mature and steady Hitzfeld has become a more adventurous Alpine, but Pagelsdorf is still full of eagerness and expectation for victory, because he expected how Alpine would fight, just as he judged Heathfield back then. How would it be the same.

As for Gao Han’s statement in an interview with the media the day before the game, Bayern Munich wanted to play the flag of Germany in Europe and become the pioneer of German football reform. He didn’t care at all, and he didn’t care whether this could be realized. .

Because he had only one goal, he retreated from the Allianz Arena.

To this end, he even did not hesitate to line up six guards.

He wants to use this game to remind the entire German football world of his name.

Frank Pagelsdorf.

"The atmosphere at the Allianz Arena is really good!"

Although he has walked into the Allianz Arena many times before, tonight is the first time that Gao Han has appeared here as the coach of Bayern Munich. The kind of treatment that the fans shouted in unison as soon as he debuted, let him Feel the shock.

The stadium’s capacity is not too much, with more than 60,000 people, no better than Barcelona’s Camp Nou, Real Madrid’s Bernabéu, Manchester United’s Old Trafford and Inter Milan’s Meachado, but the atmosphere is obviously better than these giants. The team is better.

The avid home fans have dyed the stands around the stadium into red and white, which symbolizes Bayern Munich, and the two semi-circular arc stands have been arranged by the fans as a huge Bayern Munich team emblem.

The only difference is that in the fan area of ​​the South Stand, which symbolizes Bayern Munich’s diehard loyalty, a huge portrait of Alpine was pulled up by the fans, covering almost the entire South Stand, and everyone on the scene shouted in unison. Gao Han, the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene directly infected Gao Han.

Especially standing on the sidelines, behind the side stands next to the turf, crowded with people and full of seats, forming an extremely shocking visual effect, even making Gao Han think that he will be waiting for a moment to direct the game with his back to the fans. , He felt a pressure.

Of course, looking at it from another angle, these people are supporting themselves, and then he feels the motivation.

"It is said that when the Allianz Stadium was built, the designers deliberately designed the stands as an inclined plane, and matched the ceiling. On the one hand, it is beneficial to let the momentum from the stands surging down and sweep the whole stadium, on the other hand, it can It forms an extremely shocking visual effect." Tuchel explained with a smile.

He was also the first time he appeared in the Allianz Arena as a coach, and he was also full of shock.

That feeling is really great.

"Now is just the beginning. Munich 1860 has sold us 50% of their shares in the Allianz Arena, and has given up the right to buy back. It has even been heard that their attendance here is very high. Low, making ends meet, deliberately leaving the Allianz Arena, so in the near future, there will definitely be further expansion and the atmosphere will be more intense.

Gao Han nodded, standing on the sidelines and looking back, the whole **** of the stands filled with fans was condescending, very imposing.

"When will I prepare to build a new stadium, I will definitely invite someone to design this way." Gao Han muttered to himself enviably.

This is the most fantastic football stadium in Europe right now.

But Thomas Tuchel and others did not understand what he was talking about, and began to busy preparing for the game.

Cantarello walked over from a distance and handed over a piece of paper.

"This is Rostock's lineup for this game, with six guards."

Gao Han took it and saw that the names are very unfamiliar. The entire Rostock does not even have a first-line star, but such a team is often more dangerous and cannot be underestimated, because they usually play more integrally.

To enter the Bundesliga, there is often no insurmountable gap between the strength of professional players and the overall strength of professional teams. This is why some underdogs have the opportunity to upset the giants.

"Orestes, Baltes, Wester and Manga and other new players have all entered the lineup."

This summer, Rostock signed for half a million euros, introduced Orestes from the Portuguese Super League, and introduced striker Manga from Osnabrück. The two players each spent 250,000 euros~www.NovelMTL. com~ but sold midfielder Mueller, earning one million euros.

But the biggest signing in the team was the introduction of goalkeeper Wester from Hamburg. This player is a free transfer and is completely determined by coach Pagelsdorf on his personal relationship.

Whether in terms of the overall strength of the team or the signings, it is difficult for Rostock to compete with Bayern Munich. However, in this game, Pagelsdorf dispatched six defenders, two midfielders and two midfielders. A striker.

"Does he want to stay forever?" Tuchel asked with a frown.

The six guards, if they were to be guarded strictly, they would really be an iron barrel formation.

Gao Han glanced at the chubby figure in front of the visiting team coach in the distance. After retiring, the 49-year-old head coach has become completely lenient, but the whole person does not look like that kind of game. The lord who defended without fighting.

"The defense doesn't depend on more people."

"what do you mean……"

"He should still play four or two, but the players have changed."

The same formation and different types of players can play different tactics.

Not only is Gao Han clear in his heart, but many head coaches also know that in the face of Gao Han, sticking to the cold is equivalent to chronic suicide.

Of course, some coaches have the courage to come out, but some coaches choose passive defense, waiting for the alpine team to make mistakes.

It's hard to say which one is better, but Gao Han feels that with Pagelsdorf's coaching style and characteristics, he should choose the former.

"Unexpectedly, there are many **** tough guys in German football, and I met one in the first game."

Gao Han smiled and admired, but his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Notify the players, give me an attack at the start, I will beat him down from the first minute!"
