Chapter 176 tasteless
At the end of the corridor was Hasler's desk. It was 9 o'clock in the evening, and the lights in the office were still on. Balakov walked in and saw Hasler drawing on the tactical board.
"Are you doing math problems?"
"Hehe, if I knew this earlier, I should have learned mathematics well when I was young."
Hassler was indeed doing the math, he was analyzing the next situation.
"So do you need an audience?" Balakov asked.
"of course."
Balakoff found a chair and sat down. Hassler began to draw on the tactical board and said, "Now it's September, and our mission in September is four league games, namely Borussia, Hamburg, and Berlin. Hertha, Cologne."
Then October is the devil's schedule for the team, not only to play the league, but also the German Cup and the UEFA Cup.
"The team is fighting on three fronts, we already knew that."
"But after careful analysis, I realized that the situation is so difficult."
The UEFA Cup group stage is a single round-robin, which means that 1860 needs to play 4 games and get the top three to advance.
And these 4 games were completed within two months, and the league here is also in full swing, and Hasler now thinks that his head is getting bigger.
After listening to Hassler's analysis, Balakov laughed, "No wonder the coach is either bald or has a heart attack. It turns out that's what happened."
"Hehe, stop joking."
"Do you know Real Betis?"
Balakov nodded.
There was a brief silence in the office. There are miracles in football fields, such as the miracle of Kaiserslautern, but they were achieved on a single front, just like Leicester City later. The results of the Champions League and the league immediately turned into scum. After all, Europe is still dominated by the rich and powerful.
After thinking about this point, Balakov said: "Let's give up some, such as the German Cup."
Hassler nodded, "I think so too. The German Cup will send second-tier players, and the main players will only play in the League and UEFA Cup."
Balakov laughed, but Hassler hadn't.
"Why aren't you happy?"
"Have you ever thought about what to do if giving up one isn't enough?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean if you had to give up one of the league and the UEFA Cup, which would you choose?"
As soon as this remark came out, Balakov was stunned. The domestic cup competitions are tasteless. If you miss it, you will lose it, but the league and the UEFA Cup are very valuable. It's like a fish and a bear's paw. But still want to have both.
"Hehe, are you in trouble?"
"Why did you lose it? Don't you believe in our strength?"
"That's not what it means. It's about getting ready. For example, after September, we'll be ranked behind the top 9. What should we do?"
Balakov thought for a while, "If it really doesn't work, then of course it is to keep the league. After all, the league is fundamental."
"Or give up the league and die in the UEFA Cup."
"Hehe, Thomas, you must be joking."
"Maybe."
Hassler sighed, this is the trouble of weak teams. If Hassler had a transfer fee of 5000 million euros in the summer, then he could fight on two fronts, but now he can only do math problems up.
In the first game in September, Munich 9 lost again, losing 1860 to 0 away to Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The team was under a lot of pressure after the game, and some media even selected 1860 as the favorite for relegation.
"1860 has not won an away game this season. They are now losing two games in a row. They are real away bugs."
"Such a team still wants to play in the UEFA Cup, that is tantamount to looking for abuse."
"That's right, October may be the nightmare of 10, they are likely to be thrown directly into the relegation zone, and then never climb up again."
Fans of rivals Bayern in the same city are also mocking 1860. This period is the most difficult period since Hasler took office. Hasler misses the Bundesliga a little bit.
Just like each of us once had such a period, that is, we missed elementary school when we went to junior high school, and we missed junior high school when we went to high school. People will always miss simpler days.
However, as a professional coach, Hassler has no time to think about it. Some bookmakers have already offered odds. Hassler is really likely to get out of class.
After class?Hassler will dismiss get out of class?He was the hero who led the rise of 1860, but if you look at how Leicester City treated the head coach later, you will understand that in front of the results, any hero is just a cloud.
In the home game against Hamburg, 1860 won the opponent 2-0 in the end and returned to the 9th position in the league. 1860 Munich continued to be unbeaten at home and lost in away games.
"Thomas, what happened to the team recently, I am under a lot of pressure in front of the board of directors." Wildmoser found Hassler to complain.
"Did you do it on purpose? Why is the team's home and away games different? Could it be that Allianz's Feng Shui is better?"
"Do you believe in Feng Shui?"
"Hehe, you know, there are two Chinese in the team, and I also have some Chinese friends."
Hassler said: "I don't know what's wrong. The tactical arrangement is the same. It should be a psychological problem of the players."
"Then why don't you find a well-known sports medicine psychologist in Munich?"
Hassler shook his head. If the media found out, it would be another round of hype, such as not winning an away game and the 1860 team suffering from depression.
This kind of unscrupulous media Hassler is the clearest, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and the best psychological massage is to score goals.
Wildmoser put on a serious face: "If we don't win the next game against Hertha Berlin, it will be a three-game losing streak in away games. I am under a lot of pressure."
What can Hassler do?It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. "Robert, what is the board's bottom line?"
"What bottom line?"
"Away losing streak? For example, losing a few games in a row will fire me."
Wildmoser looked embarrassed, "No, no."
Hasler knew that the club must have a bottom line. For any club, as long as the results are not good, changing the coach is almost the only way.
"Tell me, Robert, if you still consider me a friend."
Wildmoser had no choice but to stretch out four fat fingers, that is to say, if the Berlin team does not win the away game, then the team executives can endure another game, if not, immediately replace them.
Hasler stood up, "Thank you."
"Thomas, this is an opinion, don't worry, no one dares to fire you, you are a hero."
Hassler chuckled, "Hissfeld is not considered a good hero, but he didn't do well in Bayern, so get the hell out."
"I still say the same thing, thank you, Robert."
