Do you remember the 2019-20 season when the Bundesliga banba Bayern Munich went high and low, and there were internal and external troubles? In early November 2019, after Bayern's 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, the heartless Croatian coach Kovac was "dismissed". Subsequently, Frick, the assistant coach who had just arrived at Bayern in the summer, temporarily took over the coaching whip and quickly led the team back on track, until it ended this great journey with the glory of the first "six champions" in the history of the team.
Nearly a year after Bayern completed this coach change, the German authoritative media "Kicker" disclosed a past event. That is, shortly after Frick took over the Bayern whip, he once led the team to lose to Bayer leverkusen and Borussia Moncheng. At this time, there were rumors that Bayern executives began to look for a new manager, while Frick was slow to get a regularization.
At this moment, in December 2019, Bayern meritorious manager Heynckes, who is also Fricken's division, stepped forward and delivered a petition in support of Frick to Kicker. For a number of reasons, the contents of the letter were not released until September 2020. Only from the content of the letter, the marshal not only fully expressed his concern for Bayern, but history proves that the content he analyzed in the letter finally reflected the reality.
Below, let's take a look at the full text of The Marshal's precious letter:
Today, many fans and fans are amazed by bayern's new style after the change of manager. Bayern is now a team full of charm and common goals. In my opinion, a big reason Bayern has changed so much comes from head coach Frick – a guy I know and know very well.
Frick became Bayern's new leader not because of his position as Bayern manager, but because of his character. In today's reality, everything is rushed and superficial, and the manager needs to show his credibility and emotion, but he can't take this too seriously. Frick is actually a very good example, he can communicate with other people, and he is both intelligent and intelligent.
I think Frick's character forms the foundation of our society, every business, and every team. Not only do you need to train your physical fitness and meet the basic requirements of modern football, you also need to improve your mind and soul. Therefore, you need to learn to respect others in your daily life and respect every employee.
As an example of this, Zidane is one of the greatest midfielders in the history of football. He initially coached for Real Madrid B and was later promoted to head coach of Real Madrid First. He is a very humble man who treats every player fairly and with a natural sense of authority. It was these qualities that made Zidane a great manager.
Of course, Frick is not yet on par with Zidane, but Frick was a top player as a player, even if his career was not always at the top level. At the same time, Frick is a dedicated player and a fighter in midfield. Those difficult substitute experiences in those years have also benefited him now, allowing him to truly pass on his impartial attitude to the players. So you can see that the players on the Bayern bench today are full of calm attitude.
Frick knows how to communicate with each player and inform them of their importance in the team. So now, when seeing bayern players be grateful to the new coach, I think these compliments to Frick are sincere. In fact, even the superstars in the team need warm care like ordinary people. At the same time, the manager also has to show the highest degree of empathy to the players, as Frick shows.
Collective and individual tactical coordination is critical, and I saw these elements in Bayern under the manager: how to oppress, at what point? Does the whole team need to press forward in formation? Is the distance between players appropriate? Looking at this Bayern team, a coordinated, tight-knit, high-pressure style has been shown in the game, and this team has also shown tacit understanding, vitality and excitement in the game – which all reflects Frick's mark. He can give clear and accurate commands, give clear and accurate systems. Bayern's previous buried factors, such as dominance in the game, decisiveness, as well as key passes, high-speed switching and other factors can now be clearly found in the game.
As we all know, coaching at a big club like Bayern is not easy. If the manager wants to take control of the team's development before the winter break, he must have a clear plan. Of course, Frick will also go through many tests, but what we need to focus on is not a blink of an eye, but the real basic factors: how to become a head coach, how to compete well while embodying humanity, and coaching philosophy.
Under these specific requirements, I think Frick is the ideal candidate for Bayern manager, not just for the 2019-20 season. As a head coach, he is an unpolished gem and a coach with such talent needs to be recognized and promoted. Bayern now have a fantastic opportunity to have a great manager for a long time. There is no doubt that Frick can make an era.
We lost 2-1 to Bayer Leverkusen in 2012-13, but we won the Treble.
That's what the letter is about. It is true that Bayern also lost 1-2 to Bayer Leverkusen at the end of November 2019, and even lost to Borussia Moncheng with the same score, but as Coach Heynckes analyzed, Frick did not stop because of the losses in these two games. He then led the team to a four-game winning streak that ended the first half of the season.
Then in 2020, Bayern created an impressive record of 42 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss in 48 games of the year - a winning percentage of 87.5%, coupled with a series of glory trophies, allowed Frick to lead Bayern to write his own legendary years in 2020, and also made 2020 in the history of world football completely rendered bayern red.
Later, even though Frick left Bayern, the miracles he performed at the Southern Star are already in history. At the same time, it cannot be denied that Heynckes's insight and positive recommendation are an important foundation for this great history, and it is also the meritorious manager's selfless contribution to Bayern at a critical moment.
As Bild reported, Frick took over the Bayern whip as interim coach after Kovac was fired by Bayern – his Bundesliga debut was against rivals Dortmund. Before the game, Coach Heynckes specifically called Frick and encouraged the nervous Frick: "Don't worry, Frick. You'll lead the team to a 3-0 or 4-0 win and I know you well and I know this Bayern team very well. ”
In the end, Frick led the team to beat Dortmund 4-0 in this Bundesliga debut, thus starting a wonderful and magical championship journey!
