After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

Chapter 137 I Will

Julian Nagelsmann, a former professional footballer who retired due to injury at a young age, does not turn 25 until the end of this month.

This German, who is younger than Pan Yi, can only be said to be a little famous at present, but in a few years, he will become a figure who attracts attention in German football and even world football!

Since he retired from the Augsburg second team, he has worked as a scout with coach Tuchel, and also began to obtain coaching qualifications and study sports science.

Later, under the recommendation of Tuchel, Nagelsmann returned to the U1860 of the Munich 17 team where he had stayed as a player, and officially started his coaching career as an assistant coach.

At that time, the head coach of this team was also an old acquaintance of Long Guo fans, Roger Schmidt, who had served as the head coach of Guoan.

Both Tuchel and Schmidt are deeply influenced by the "academic godfather" Rangnick.

These coaches all have obvious characteristics: they were not top-notch in the player era, but they made up for it with their keen court insight, rich tactical knowledge and fanatical work attitude.

Nagelsman, who has a similar experience, has worked under them for two years, and he is naturally familiar with the working methods of "academic" coaches.

In the 2010-2011 season, Nagelsmann even came under the command of the "father" Rangnick, and took full charge of youth training in the Hoffenheim team.

In the following years, the Hoffenheim youth team and the second team have come out of young talents such as Jule, Amiri, Geiger, Posch and Baumgartner, and they are all inseparable from Nagelsmann. cultivation.

He was later promoted to the first team as an assistant coach. Interestingly, his first game after taking office was against Hamburg...

Afterwards, he became the head coach of Hoffenheim's first team as a matter of course. At the age of 28, he became the youngest head coach in the history of the Bundesliga. of the).

After leading the team to the Champions League in a row, Nagelsmann began to serve as the coach of the Leipzig Red Bulls and led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League in the 2019-20 season.

Such an excellent record also made the German class bully Bayern Munich throw an olive branch to him.

After arriving at Bayern, Nagelsmann also led his team to win the Bundesliga championship and became a rich and famous coach. Of course, this is all a later story.

No matter in which period, Nagelsmann's reasonable training method and level cannot be ignored.

Moreover, as a top student, he advocated the promotion of many new training equipment and training methods during his coaching at Hoffenheim.

It also includes a series of black technologies in software and hardware, applying smart devices, big data analysis and artificial intelligence to team training, which greatly improves training efficiency.

This set of things later even benefited the entire world of football.

Well, Pan Yi also believes that Nagelsmann can also allow the current Hamburg to take the lead in getting the benefits in this regard and avoid some detours.

This is why Pan Yi found him as an assistant coach.

Compared with Inzaghi, a rookie coach, Nagelsmann is obviously more reliable in daily training.

All these things will be handed over to him when the time comes, and Pan Yi will just focus on tactical drills by himself!

……

"I am willing."

When faced with Pan Yi's invitation, Nagelsman simply gave an affirmative answer.

This was actually a bit beyond Pan Yi's expectation.

After all, Nagelsmann still has his own career plan.

In fact, as early as he led the Hoffenheim U19 youth team to win the U19 Bundesliga championship and became the youngest coach to win this honor, many Bundesliga giants favored Nagelsmann.

This also includes Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

But Nagelsmann rejected the kindness of many teams and decided to continue training in Hoffenheim.

Therefore, when Pan Yi came to Huo Village, he had no idea whether he could successfully recruit this excellent coach—this is why he did not include Nagelsman in his initial team formation plan. .

"There is no particular reason, but I like to work with a high-level head coach, which allows me to learn and grow." Faced with Pan Yi's inquiry, Nagelsmann replied, "And I have studied your tactics. , it is clear that you are a true tactical genius."

Pan Yi smiled.

He could also see that Nagelsman's eyes did have a trace of reverence and yearning when he spoke, even though Pan Yi was only one year older than Nagelsman.

From this point of view, Pan Yi has indeed made a very famous name for him this year in Milan, and he has also been carefully studied and admired by coaches like Nagelsman who are obsessed with tactics.

In Pan Yi's previous life, Nagelsmann used 442, 4231, 352, 343, etc. during his coaching of the Leipzig Red Bull, which was very changeable.

Sometimes it is because of helpless choices due to injury factors, but more often it is targeted deployment when facing different opponents. The layout of each position is very detailed and meticulous.

This is similar to what Pan Yi did in Milan.

In terms of defense, Nagelsmann also advocates frontcourt pressure, but pays more attention to strategy and integrity, and will not blindly let players go up.

Especially in terms of the specific responsibilities of the players, Nagelsmann also prefers the method of "forming a local numerical advantage and establishing a strong side", which coincides with the current tactics that Pan Yi is planning to implement in Hamburg.

Therefore, the degree of fit between the two people's tactical thinking is very high.

From this aspect, Nagelsman's appreciation of Pan Yi is logical.

After all, they are all "like-minded people", and they have a sense of intimacy when they are similar in age.

Of course, the timing of Pan Yi's invitation is also very suitable.

Since Hoffenheim sold many core players including Gustavo, the former head coach Rangnick chose to hang up and leave, and the former Liverpool and Bayern defender Marcus Babel took over as the head coach.

The highest achievement of Babel as a coach after retiring is to lead Hertha Berlin to win the Bundesliga Championship and successfully upgrade.

This is obviously incomparable to Pan Yi's triple crown in Milan, and in the eyes of Nagelsmann, an insider, there is a difference in the subtlety of tactical design.

So comparing the two, it is not difficult for Nagelsmann, who is eager to improve, to choose.

And if Rangnick hadn't left and worked next to the head coach who is known as the "Godfather of Germany", maybe Nagelsmann would not be tempted to leave the team.

"Well then, welcome to Hamburg."

Finally, Pan Yi stretched out his right hand, and Nagelsman also smiled and nodded.

The palms of the two young coaches were tightly held together!
