Start with an extraordinary experience card

Chapter 101 Parallel 442
"Qin, don't underestimate him!"

Dembele glanced at Qin Ming and said very solemnly.

"Do you know Timo? The deal he joined the Leipzig Red Bull from Stuttgart at that time was operated by Rangnick!"

Qin Ming was slightly surprised when he heard this.

There are not a few people who know the story of Timo Werner, and Qin Ming is one of them.

At the beginning of last season, the young Werner had just joined the Premier League giants Chelsea from Leipzig Red Bull with a transfer fee of 4770 million pounds.

The most surprising thing is that the Leipzig Red Bull originally bought him for only 1260 million pounds!
With a price difference close to three times, the Leipzig Red Bull made a lot of money in this transaction.

Unexpectedly, this profitable transaction was actually written by Rangnick.

But thinking of this, Qin Ming seemed to understand why Rangnick appeared in Barcelona.

Barcelona's current economic situation is very bad. No matter which coach takes over, most of them need to rely on the current lineup to maintain it for a period of time.

In the absence of any signing funds, certain results need to be guaranteed.

Rangnick's previous resume really just meets Barcelona's current needs!
What's more, Rangnick is not only good at discovering outstanding young people, but also good at cultivating them into superstars.

For the current Barcelona, ​​he is simply dozing off and meeting a pillow!

"Hi everyone! I'm Ralph Rangnick!"

Seemingly feeling the warm eyes on the training ground, Rangnick came over to say hello to everyone.

"Although the club has not officially announced, if there is no accident, I will become your new head coach! I hope that we can cooperate happily in the future!"

Rangnick's speech drew warm applause from the players.

After all, for a new beginning, it is the best choice to welcome it with a positive attitude without knowing whether it is good or bad!

A day later, the Barcelona management held an official signing ceremony for Rangnick.

Although the welcome ceremony was held beautifully, many sports media are not optimistic about the future of the German coach in Barcelona.

Most people believe that Rangnick is just a temporary transitional coach for Barcelona.

Because of Barcelona's current embarrassment, many capable coaches will be on the sidelines.

There are also some working coaches, such as River Plate coach Gallardo who has been passed on for a long time, they are not willing to take over another team in the middle of the season.

After all, this is a high-risk behavior, and it is completely unnecessary for them with stable jobs.

However, after the end of the season, these people can still become candidates, and Barcelona will continue to pursue their favorite options!

At that time, Rangnick will either leave Barcelona or stay in the team as a management.

As for this question, when it really comes to that time, who will care?
Combined with Rangnick's past fire fighting experience, everyone is convinced of this conjecture.

However, no matter how the outside world talks, it will not affect the rigor of the German for work.

Two days before taking over the team, he conducted a comprehensive test on the players.

However, the data he got was not optimistic, and his face looked a little worried.

"Judging from the results of these two days of testing, the team's problems are more serious than I thought!"

The Barcelona players stood shoulder to shoulder in a circle around Rangnick.

Rangnick waved the stack of forms in his hand at them with a very serious expression.

"I want to bring some changes to the team, but this requires your cooperation and support! Next, I will tell you my thoughts."

When Rangnick spoke, he was not as sharp as Koman.

But every player present knew in his heart that this was just not the time yet.

Judging from Rangnick's tone, the next step should be to adjust tactics and personnel.

This is something that is closely related to one's own interests!
Aware of this, many players secretly made a movement of raising their chests and heads.

They hope to make themselves look more energetic, and to make a good impression on the new German coach.

"Of course, if you don't understand anything, you can always give me your questions!"

The players didn't take Rangnick's words too seriously.

After all, as the person in charge of the team, no coach likes players who keep asking questions!
Seeing everyone keeping quiet and looking at him intently, Rangnick cleared his throat.

"Cough cough!"

"First of all, I will change the tactical system that everyone is used to. In my mind, the most suitable formation for the team will be a parallel 4-4-2!"

As soon as Rangnick said this, the players couldn't hold back anymore, and many people had already started whispering.

Not to mention that Barcelona has used a tactical system like 4-3-3 for many years. In the last game, it relied on this tactical system to defeat the difficult Vallecano.

Besides, the parallel 4-4-2 tactical system has never been used by Barcelona!

This kind of large-scale change is like a shot of fire and heavy medicine for Barcelona.

If the disease cannot be cured, it will be fatal!
The confusion of the players, in Rangnick's view, seemed to be expected.

He patiently explained his choice.

"After Busquets was injured, the team's defensive quality fell off a cliff."

"1.47 conceded goals per game, do you know what a terrifying number this is?"

hiss!
Hearing the numbers in Rangnick's mouth, many players gasped.

When the team's previous record was not good, everyone also realized that there was a problem in defense.

However, this issue has never been studied carefully.

But now Rangnick suddenly put a very intuitive data in front of everyone, and everyone realized how big this problem is!

An average of one and a half goals conceded per game means that if they want to win the game, Barcelona must strive to score two goals every game!
This is a very difficult task for any team.

It's no wonder that after the first half of the season, Barcelona's position in the standings has always been shaky.

Which team can bear this kind of defensive quality?
Rangnick seemed satisfied with the terrified reaction on the players' faces, and he nodded.

"So, my first goal after taking office is to improve the team's defensive quality!"

"But what does this have to do with changing the team's tactical system?" Pique asked.

For the new coach in front of him, Pique has not fully accepted him.

As one of the instigators of Koeman's dismissal, Pique definitely hopes to change the status quo of the team.

But he doesn't want to see the new coach be like Koeman again, completely ignoring the actual situation and messing up the team.
