There are many reasons why a team's performance is good or bad, and many times, changing coaches is often the first choice of the club when considering "turning things around". There are too many examples to prove that the influence of a manager on a team should not be underestimated, and the person who runs the team's coaching whip, his personality, business ability and tactical philosophy, often have a decisive impact on a team.
A very common topic in the world of football is whether the so-called "iron-fisted manager" is better, or the coaches who are more relaxed. This is a question that clubs often consider when choosing a manager – not only to consider the coach's past record and coaching ability, but also to consider his coaching style and personality characteristics that are not suitable for his team.
Ancelotti is a notorious "good old man" whose dressing room is rarely seen in disarray during his coaching career in Italy. Real Madrid has its own characteristics, this team is full of big stars, they have their own understanding of football, but also have enough confidence to play good football, so for Real Madrid, a loosely managed coach is often a more ideal choice - these stars do not need too much coaching how to handle the ball on the field, coaches need more skills to balance the dressing room, adjust the team atmosphere and on-the-spot command. One of the most recognizable things about Ancelotti this season is that vinicius, Militang, Camaronga, Rodrigo, Jovic and others have played a valuable role under him, and it is not easy to do so. Negative examples include Benitez, whose views are not wrong in many of their ways, but we remember more of the chaos of his time at Real Madrid. The best thing about a team under Ancelotti is that the management, the coach and the players are in harmony, and Ancelotti and the players have a relaxed smile on their faces, and there is almost no sense of urgency and nervousness in sight – but the team is able to win safely.
However, the "iron marshal" is not useless, even for Real Madrid. For nearly 20 years, whenever Real Madrid has fallen into a trough, the names of two people have been often mentioned - early Capello, and then Mourinho. These two men are in a way "anti-traditional" coaches for Real Madrid – they place a lot of emphasis on defense and are known for their iron fists. Mourinho can get upset with Cristiano Ronaldo and Cassi, capello dares to put Ronaldo and Beckham on the bench, but they did make a difference for the team while he was in charge of Real Madrid.
In today's football, who is the representative of the "iron marshal"? It's easy to think of the Italian Conte. In this summer's coaching market, Allegri is the more pleasing one, and Conte, who has been criticized as "detail control" and "low emotional intelligence", has made many teams hesitate to three points when considering hiring him. However, Allegri, who has been pinned high hopes on this season, has lost his former magic, but conte took over Tottenham Hotspur in early November, and the effect has been immediate, and Tottenham's league ranking has risen to 6th, which has to be lamented that coaching is indeed a position that requires real skills: although a coach with extremely high requirements for execution is sometimes easy to annoy players, but people can produce results. Just ask you if you are satisfied?
How hard is it to master a big team? Pochettino will tell you the answer. In the past half a season, Pochettino has been criticized by the media, the French media has criticized the Argentine for his casual and toddler in coaching, this team with Stars such as Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Ramos, Donnarumma and other stars is star-studded, Pochettino on the one hand to ensure that the team shows absolute advantages in facing ordinary teams, and also has to achieve results that match the squad in high-level competitions such as the Champions League. Relatively speaking, Pochettino's management is also considered to be "more relaxed", but there are still some discordant voices in the Paris team - if replaced by an iron-fisted coach, will the effect be better? It's hard to say that for these superstars in Paris, it's hard for you to enforce them.
What category does Harvey fall into? The former Barca midfielder has only been in charge of the team for a short time, and his personality, vision and decisiveness remain to be seen, but it can be seen that Xavi may not be soft on some factors in the team that do not meet the requirements. Xavi has a unique advantage, he enjoys a high prestige among Barcelona's native players, and is one of the symbols of football in the whole of Catalonia, with an innate advantage in the public opinion environment. Foreign aid dares to challenge Harvey's authority? Then maybe you're challenging the entire Barca football tradition! This allows Harvey to become a Zidane-style "big brother", able to carry out humane management and show an "iron fist" side when necessary. Of course, this is only an objective advantage, and how long you can sit on the coaching seat ultimately depends on the level of coaching: when a coach has really "exhausted his talents", then the so-called "iron fist management" will be even more pale and weak.
So, which is better, the iron fist or the loose management? In fact, many times, strict management is not a good thing, Ancelotti can be around Real Madrid, on the one hand thanks to his personality and emotional intelligence, but do not forget the support provided by the club, after all, Bale, Isco, Marcelo, Ceballos and other people who have little chance to play have basically determined that they are not in the future plans of the club, which makes Ancelotti do not need to consider too many non-competitive factors when managing the team, in addition, Modric, Benzema, Alaba, Core players such as Vinicius also have a very good personality, which is the luck of Ancelotti. Looking at the teams that have achieved good results in recent years, almost all of them have played a distinctive football around the manager's tactical concept and firmly executed it, and the club has united from top to bottom to achieve a "win-win situation" for the coach and the players.
