At the flick of a finger, another year in a hurry, the end of the year, the endless expectations and prospects at the beginning of the year, have also reached the moment when the dust has settled, looking back at this year, what have you gained and lost? And what are the laughter and tears? No matter how you have lived in the past year, please organize your mood, smile and start a new year.
In the field of football in 2021, there are also some waves in the calm, Messi and his Argentine team finally realized their dream of the Copa America, Mancini led Italy to a magical victory in the European Cup, and Chelsea won the second Big Ears Cup in team history, while once again killing Manchester City's dream of winning the Champions League. In terms of players, Levan's missed Ballon d'Or has upset many people, with Chinese player Liu Shaoziyang becoming bayern's first Chinese player, while Arsenal Prince Wilshire, who was on fire two years ago, is facing a situation where there is no ball to play...
Of course, in the field of football, the most talked about is the coaches, whether it is the club or the coach, the cooperation between the two sides is not only based on fate and luck, both sides have a gambling component. As a result, Lampard, Sochaux, Arteta, Pirlo and other team celebrities were driven to the shelves without the coaching experience of the giants. Among them, especially Juventus's gamble is the biggest, let Pirlo, who has only been in charge of the youth team for 7 days, control Juve, and the management really should go to see a doctor.
When Laporta, the president of the club who achieved Barca's ZTE, used a series of shock therapies to deceive Messi, dump Koeman, and gamble on Harvey, it meant that Barca was stepping off the altar from the cosmic team. Although Laporta has received invective from Barça fans around the world, his operation may be the most suitable for Barca, just look at Barca signing Ferran Torres and pay in installments. On the one hand, Xavi is really gambling, on the other hand, he is looking for a pot-carrying man for himself, after all, Laporta knows in his heart that as far as Barca's lineup is concerned, it is useless for the immortals to come. But he can't be a target for fans who don't understand change, not to mention that Barca's current situation is caused by his predecessor Bartomeu, not him.
Perhaps the new president of Manchester United, Lonnick, who has led Hoch to the half-time title, who once helped Schalke 04 reach the Champions League final four, and who completed a 4-jump during his time at the helm of Red Bull Leipzig, has encountered great difficulties in transforming the Red Devils dressing room. Lonnick wanted to create a high-level pressing tactic, but encountered great obstacles in abandoning Ronaldo; in addition, the phenomenon of pulling gangs in the Manchester United team was quite serious, which also made Lonnick feel very headache.
Although the season is not over, from the current situation, 2021-2022 is the most clear year for the five major leagues to compete for the title, just halfway through the season, Real Madrid, Paris, Manchester City, Bayern, Inter have a considerable advantage in their leagues, however, the most criticized of which is Paris coach Pochettino. While all fronts are moving in tandem, Mbappe is still clamoring to leave the team, Messi is still playing uncomfortably, and edge players such as Draxler are still in the team. Fans have criticized the Paris game for playing ugly and relying entirely on the stars to win, but what makes the strong team special is not because of the stars? Apparently, Pochettino has endured a lot of blame that he shouldn't have been.
Some coaches are born to be the lives of small teams, including Rajauli, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Moyes. Under the coaching of Moyes, West Ham United was reborn, and it is likely to enter the European arena for 2 consecutive years, who dares to say that such results are not great? But what big team would dare to let Moyes try it again? In fact, the small wealth is not bad, although the money is less, but the pressure will be much less, and the mood every day will be much better.
In the European Cup and the Copa America, Mancini led Italy to achieve a miraculous victory, which may be the most starless Italian team, or it may be the most pragmatic Italian team. However, among the coaches, Mancini is always regarded by fans as the second-class coach, because his nerve knife performance is full, can lead the Italian team to the championship, and can also make the Italian team fall into the situation of playing in the Play-offs in the European Preliminary Round of the World Cup. There is also Scaloni, who led Argentina to win the Copa America, although his annual salary is only 500,000 yuan, although he helps Messi realize his dream, but who dares to say that Scaloni has become a world famous coach?
Although the big coaches are more concerned, the real pity is the managers of the small clubs, ask the former Villa coach Dean Smith, the former Norwich boss Falke, the current Leeds United manager Bielsa. They can play crazy in a certain season and win outside praise. But the players' desire to go, the club's weak support, makes it difficult for them to continue a team's good record. From this point of view, it can also be seen that Moyes, in terms of small club coaching, has become a first-class master.
Of course, although many coaches do a good job in small clubs, as long as there is an opportunity, they will still squeeze into the giants, such as Ancelotti went to Everton, the reason is that in addition to having more exposure, the lineup of big clubs gives more money after all, the lineup is more stable, and it is easier to produce results. Even if you are fired, you can get a large amount of liquidated damages. More money, less trouble, high exposure, this is what coaches really pursue.
