Chapter 503： Forced into the team

Bayern has always had a tradition of winter training in Dubai, which is mainly due to the team's wealth.

But this year is obviously different from previous years, because this year sponsors took the initiative to come to the door to discuss cooperation.

Because of Su Dong!

This is also the first time that Bayern's business department has discovered that it is such a blessing to have such a superstar in the team.

They used to do everything possible to find sponsors, but now sponsors eagerly come to the door, and the sponsorship fee is almost non-bargaining, which is not too cool!

Just like this time, Bayern originally booked a cheaper hotel, but the sponsor waved his hand and directly supported Bayern’s stay in Dubai’s most luxurious Petronas Twin Towers hotel and participated in an event sponsored by the sponsor in the United Arab Emirates. A sponsorship contract, which made Herness almost grinning.

He never thought that owning a superstar turned out to be equivalent to a money printing machine.

……

Su Dong formally participated in Bayern's training camp, but he, Marcelo, Modric and other new players are still adjusting to the team.

Heynckes replaced Magath, and there was an obvious change in training, that is, the amount of training decreased.

As we all know, Magath is a famous training madman. His training aroused the dissatisfaction of many Bayern players. Even after being fired two days ago, Magath still insisted that he was training players madly. In fact, it's all for the players to improve.

After Heynckes coached, the first training session made people feel the difference between him and Magath, that is, the training intensity was reduced, but the entire training program was still arranged very tightly, from ball training to tactical drills. Heynckes takes it very seriously.

This move of the old German coach won the approval of Bayern, but if you think that Heynckes is accommodating the players, you would be wrong, because the players soon felt Heynckes' harshness.

Before the training, Heynckes made it clear that all first-team players on the field must communicate in German uniformly. For Sudong, Modric and Marcelo who have not yet learned German, Heynckes is specially equipped After the translation, they are allowed to communicate through an interpreter, but they must master German as soon as possible.

The amount of training is less, but the details are more demanding.

He meticulously arranges every training, emphasizing all kinds of details. Any mistakes in the players will cause him to be reprimanded loudly. In addition to being harsh, he will patiently point out the players' need to improve and explain his Tactical thinking, I want to crush my own tactical system and instill it into the players' minds.

This is reflected in the arrangement of the training program and the requirements of the coaching staff.

It is this kind of relaxation and degree of training that creates a sense of pressure and urgency in the Bayern training camp.

In addition, in the routine tactical meeting, Heynckes will also combine the game video to analyze the various problems that occurred in the first half of the team and give some improvement plans of his own.

Privately, at the beginning of the training camp, Heynckes seized the time and communicated with each player in private, not only telling the players his thoughts and ideas, but also listening to their opinions.

According to Heynckes, he suffered from not communicating with the players in Schalke at 04 o'clock, and learned lessons this time.

In addition to the coaching staff, during Bayern’s trip to the Middle East, the genius doctor Wolfart also took the medical team to follow the team throughout the entire trip to provide players with a full range of medical protection.

Su Dong still brings his own personal coaching staff. Nuno Cruise and Wolfart are both famous figures in European football. The two have communicated many times in private. Regarding Su Dong’s situation , Wolfart also understands clearly how to divide labor, they will negotiate on their own.

……

A week after Bayern arrived in Dubai for training, it ushered in the first warm-up match, the semi-finals of the Dubai Cup, against the Portuguese Super League’s Benfica.

Benfica eliminated Bayern in a penalty shoot-out.

Sudong, Modric and Marcelo did not play at all.

This is also what the outside world is paying attention to. When will Su Dong's debut?

From the training point of view, Bayern players generally have a lot of problems, but the most important thing is the spiritual level.

Salihamidzic, Pizarro and other players have decided to leave the team in half a year, Hargreaves is also seeking to leave the team, coupled with the team's poor performance in the first half, only ranked fourth in the Bundesliga. This makes the players generally lack passion and lack of fighting spirit.

Heynckes realized that this was a big problem and immediately announced the cancellation of joint training during training, and instead adopted different groupings for training, and carried out targeted deployments for each player, with the purpose of allowing the players to gradually find their way back. Passion and fighting spirit.

This is not an easy task.

In the subsequent three or four finals of the Dubai Cup, Bayern Munich lost two goals in a row when facing Marseille. Van Bommel quickly got a goal back, but still failed to reverse the situation.

Until the second half of the game, Ma Kai scored two goals to help Bayern reverse Marseille 3-2.

In the end, Bayern finished third.

Su Dong still did not play in this game, but Ribery from Marseille started and performed well.

After the game, Henes, who led the team to Dubai, had a conversation with Ribery in the player channel. You can still vaguely see that Ribery looks in the direction of Su Dong from time to time.

The news in the locker room said that Hoeness had officially reached an agreement with Marseilles while in Dubai.

However, in a subsequent interview with German media, Hernes said that this was a rumor and Bayern had not had any contact with Ribery. As for when Ribery could start operating, Hernes said that it would not be until March and April. It will be more clear.

But these words will also deceive outsiders. For Bayern, Hoeness and Ribery must have agreed with Marseilles, otherwise, they will be informed.

It is not difficult to see from this that Ribery's joining Bayern is not far away.

……

When the team's training camp in Dubai came to an end, Hargreaves suddenly left the team early and flew back to Europe from Dubai.

When Bayern heard the news, they had already guessed it.

As expected, two days later, Bayern's official website announced that Manchester United had bought Hargreaves from Bayern at a high price of 30 million euros, and this transfer was quickly confirmed by Manchester United.

Hargreaves flew directly from Dubai to Manchester, accepted Manchester United's medical examination, and successfully completed the transfer procedures.

The sudden departure of the England midfielder caused a blow to Bayern's formation.

The second half of the league is about to start, but Bayern currently has only Van Bommel and Schweinsteiger midfielders. This is far from enough. Modric has just arrived and it will take some time to integrate.

In this case, Bayern management began to look for suitable midfielders in the transfer market.

The night before Bayern returned to Germany, Hoeness met in the hotel, the broker, Horabchin, who had come from the UK.

The Iranian-British packaged two players, Tevez and Mascherano, to West Ham United last summer, which caused a lot of noise and made him notorious.

Although the agent’s reputation is bad, the abilities of Tevez and Mascherano are obvious to all.

After joining the Premier League West Ham United, Mascherano has had three or four months, and he has not played for West Ham for even one minute, which made the Argentine midfielder care about it.

But because he played for Corinthians in Brazil and played for West Ham United in the UEFA Cup earlier, his current situation is very embarrassing. The giants are very ugly to match him, even Serie B's Juventus. After learning about the situation, Tus announced to give up.

Therefore, after learning that Bayern had to send Hargreaves away, Horabchin immediately flew from the UK to Dubai, met with Hoeness, and recommended Mascherano to Bayern, hoping that the Bundesliga hegemon would get him Signed.

"He has only played one UEFA Cup knockout game for West Ham United, but the Hammers have been eliminated, and in the past six months, he has only played for West Ham United six times and started twice. I think it's totally okay. An application was submitted to FIFA, and he was specially approved to participate in the second half of Bayern's game."

Holabchin’s suggestion moved Hoeness, and the Bayern giant immediately communicated with Heynckes, and at the same time consulted Su Dong on the phone.

For Mascherano, Su Dong knows that his strength is good. Messi praised this national teammate for his ability. Su Dong also watched the German World Cup. Mascherano performed well. If Really joining Bayern, it is definitely a great support.

Then, Hoeness communicated with Beckenbauer and Rummenigge.

Beckenbauer is a well-known figure in FIFA and UEFA. He immediately stated that if Bayern decides to introduce Mascherano you can apply for special approval, and he will be responsible. Lobbying, the problem is not big.

So, Herness immediately started negotiations with Horabchin and immediately applied for special approval from FIFA to avoid delaying the transfer during the winter break.

Mascherano finally successfully moved to Bayern Munich with a transfer fee of 15 million euros.

If this transaction is to be completed, it must have a special approval from FIFA.

Therefore, Mascherano is not yet a Bayern Munich player.

……

In just over a month, Bayern Munich has taken a whole new look from the joining of Soviet Union and East to the coaching change to signings.

Modric, Marcelo and Mascherano, who have not yet completed the transfer, spent a total of 32 million euros in a transfer fee of Bayern, which is the largest winter break transfer in Bayern history.

Rummenigge fulfilled his previous promise and also demonstrated Bayern Munich's ambitions.

Of course, some media also calculated an account, that is, selling Hargreaves, Bayern recovered 30 million euros, invested 32 million euros, in fact, the net investment was 2 million euros.

The most powerful player is Su Dong, who is a direct free transfer to Bayern.

so that after Bayern returned to Germany, Bild was full of expectations for Bayern in the second half, believing that the Bundesliga hegemon will catch up in the second half and attack Werder Bremen and other opponents.

More fans are speculating whether Su Dong will appear in the first game after the winter break, Bayern’s away game against Dortmund?
