After realizing that he could not persuade Beckenbauer to change his mind, George decisively gave up his intention to continue persuading him and instead chatted with the football emperor about the ongoing game between the German team and Australia on the court.
Some people may think that George's approach lacks patience and perseverance, and it is too easy to give up when encountering difficulties, but don't forget that Beckenbauer was able to get "Football Emperor" and "Caesar" as a player. ” nickname, and has made extremely outstanding achievements in many positions such as head coach, club chairman and football association chairman. For such a character, his willpower and self-confidence are naturally far beyond ordinary people. And this means that once he has made up his mind on something, it will be difficult for him to change his mind easily under the influence of the outside world.
Under such circumstances, there was naturally no need for George to pester Beckenbauer over this issue. Because if he does this, it will only bore Beckenbauer and may even have a serious negative impact on their personal relationship!
"George, what do you think of the current German team? Do you hope to achieve a good result in next year's World Cup?" Beckenbauer's tone when he looked at the German players who were inextricably fighting against Australia on the court. Looking a little melancholy. You know, Klinsmann became the head coach of the German national team only after his strong recommendation. As a result, although the Golden Bomber carried out drastic reforms after taking office, the report card he handed over was really lackluster. His tough attitude and easy-to-offend personality have attracted countless scoldings and doubts to him. Therefore, this Confederations Cup is not so much a test of Germany's preparations for next year's World Cup, but it is actually more like an assessment of Klinsmann's work this year by the German Football Association!
In other words, if Klinsmann is unable to participate in this Confederations Cup, then the former football superstar will immediately be triggered by those who are dissatisfied with his reform measures in the Football Association and demand it. Klinsmann, who had too many interests for them, was dismissed immediately, and Sammer, who they found more pleasing to the eye, took over!
Although German football appears to be extremely united on the outside, in fact their internal strife has always been very serious. As early as the 1970s, the Borussia Mönchengladbach team headed by Netzer, Heynckes and Bonhof and the Bayern team headed by Gerd Muller and Beckenbauer were fighting endlessly for the right to speak in the locker room. . The current situation is even worse than thirty years ago. Not only has the national team become lifeless and infighting due to the failure of the European Cup, but there are also many contradictions within the German Football Association (on this point, from Walfield This can be seen from the fact that he and Zwanziger actually served as chairman of the German Football Association together during that time). Therefore, the German team that Klinsmann took over can be said to be an out-and-out mess!
"Franz, to be honest, in my opinion, if Germany wants to get out of the trough of these years as soon as possible and achieve good results in next year's World Cup, then it must give Klinsmann the greatest trust and support! Hearing the slight distrust of Klinsmann in Beckenbauer's tone, George hesitated for a moment and finally decided to tell the truth, "You should know very well that Klinsmann got it when he took office. What kind of bad cards are they. And now is the most critical stage of reform. If you give up your support for him at this time, German football will still face a disastrous defeat in next year's World Cup!"
In George's view, the duo of Klinsmann and Loew can be said to be the best coaching combination for the German national team since Beckenbauer. For such an outstanding coaching pairing, George felt that he should let them shine as they should, rather than trying to destroy them out of selfish motives before they could prove their abilities!
As a player, he played in four of the five major European leagues, the Premier League, French Ligue 1, Serie A and the Bundesliga, and achieved high results in all of them. After retiring, Klins is a former football superstar who has been involved in the American sports world. Mann's vision is much higher than that of most of his local peers. Therefore, after taking up the coaching job of the German national team, he clearly realized that Germany has now reached a time when innovation must be carried out in all aspects. The most important thing is that Klinsmann knows how to reform to save this German team that is in a downturn, and he also knows how to use his prestige as a player to twist the entire team together!
That's why Klinsmann asked for monopoly power during contract negotiations with the Football Association and comprehensively transformed the national team according to his own ideas. For example, a large number of non-Bayern players (such as Mertesacker, Kuranyi, Frings, etc.) were recruited, Loew, who was at the trough of his coaching career, was recruited as the assistant coach of the national team, and Bierhoff was appointed as the national team assistant coach. The first-ever leader of the German national team, he even invited three non-football professional fitness coaches from the United States to join the coaching staff!
In George's previous life, it was the joint efforts of the two of them and the introduction of these new professional concepts and training methods by Klinsmann that allowed German football to get out of the 2004 European Cup group stage elimination in just two years. In the shadow of tragedy, they achieved third place in the World Cup held in their home country, and thus started the renaissance of German football!
You know, the explosion of Germany's young generation was around 2008. In the two years when Klinsmann coached, there were actually not many high-quality newcomers available. This shows that this pair of coaches and Klinsmann's training The power of methods!
"Since George has such high regard for Klinsmann's ability, it seems that I should be more patient." Beckenbauer still trusts George's vision and character. The football emperor knew that the other party would not and would not bother to deceive him on such a matter. In other words, he knew very well that with George's extremely talent-loving character, it was almost impossible to do something like deliberately destroying someone's future for his own selfish gain!
Of course, the German team's vitality and offensive style of play in the game today are very different from before, which is another important reason why the football emperor changed his mind. In just one year, Klinsmann has brought such success to the national team. An obvious change, so when the World Cup starts next year, how many surprises can he bring to German football?
In this way, when Germany, playing at home, defeated Australia thrillingly 4-3 and got their first start in the Confederations Cup, Beckenbauer finally decided to support Klinsmann and carry this tactical reform through to the end. Determination!
