Coleman's experience as a player is excellent. In fact, at that time, he, the famous Three Musketeers Van Basten, Gullit and former Barcelona coach Rijkaard were called the four kings of the Netherlands. But why is it not as familiar as the Three Musketeers? There is a simple reason. At that time, Serie A was in full swing, and all three played for AC Milan, so their names were widely circulated.
Coleman completed his heyday in Barcelona, from 1989 to Barcelona until 1994. As a central defender, he made 192 appearances for the team in five years and scored an astonishing 67 goals. Especially in the Champions League final of 1992, at Wembley Stadium in London, the two sides were deadlocked against Sampdoria. In the end, overtime, with Coleman's goal, wrote the most colorful stroke for Barcelona's glorious history, which was Barcelona's first Champions League champion and an unprecedented important event in cruyff's history when he was a player.
At that time, the head coach was cruyff, the king of Dutch football and the godfather of Barcelona. This generation of Barcelona stars is also known as the "Dream Team 1". We have seen the relationship of inheritance. As the founder of Barcelona's "Dream No.1", Koeman is Barcelona's first Champions League feat and the cornerstone of Barcelona's future rule in Europe. In addition, he is a disciple of cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona football, and it seems so natural that he will coach Barcelona.
But the head coach doesn't look at the bloodline, just the icing on the cake. The most important thing is to really change the team's spirit, change the team's tactical play and lead Barcelona, which is now in a trough, back to the right track. So let's see if his coaching career is the same as his career as a player and complements Barcelona.
After retiring, Koeman became an assistant coach of the Dutch national team and Barcelona. Indeed, the relationship between Koeman and Barcelona is really long. After returning to the Netherlands, he was able to perform well in Ajax, Eindhoven and other Dutch giants and achieved many good results. But when he left China for a bigger stage, problems followed. In 2007, he came to Valencia in La Liga and left after only five months of coaching. You should know that the Bat Corps at that time had stars such as Villa, David Silva and albion.
A few years later, he came to Southampton in the Premier League. Due to Southampton's team policy, a large number of stars were sold, and Coleman faced a lot of mess, but it was also a good opportunity for Coleman to play his best. He brought Tadic and Pellet to Southampton and sold people for Southampton, occupying a key position in the Premier League. And his proudest handwriting in Southampton is to take off the first one of Van Dyke, the world's first central defender who once played for Liverpool, which is definitely an eye-catching model of Coleman.
However, after coming to Everton, he once again faced an embarrassing ending. In the first season, he led the team to qualify for the Europa League. The team gave Coleman a budget of 200 million pounds, and the team was strengthened as never before. Sigerson, pickford, Michael Jean, klassen and other players have not achieved good results. Now only pickford, Sigerson and Keane occupy key positions in the team.
So we can see that Coleman's coaching skills are actually average, but he is really good at finding new players, which is good news for Barcelona, which is alternating between the old and the new. Barcelona has a large number of new players waiting for a strict teacher, especially the core of Barcelona's future midfield. Whether De Jong from the Netherlands can form a special chemical reaction with Koeman will be an important factor for Barcelona to return to the peak in the future.
On the national team level, Koeman handed over a satisfactory answer sheet in a short time. /kloc-in 0/4, the Dutch national team broke out in the last glory of the golden generation of the World Cup, and then fell into silence. However, due to Holland's good internal talent transfer ability and Koeman's reasonable coaching, the Dutch new generation 18 broke through France and Germany and finally entered the final, losing to Portugal.
Although I knew that the Netherlands was still full of talents, compared with the previous generation, the frontcourt level in the Netherlands was really a heaven and an underground. The frontcourt leader in the Netherlands was a player like Depp. I knew that there was a certain imbalance in the development of talents in the Netherlands, and Koeman did everything that this Dutch team could do.
Finally, to sum up, as far as pedigree is concerned, he is an absolute celebrity of Barcelona, which is hard to find among active coaches. This means that he will have a great say in the dressing room. Compared with valverde and Setien, Barcelona's mental outlook may undergo earth-shaking changes. Moreover, Coleman is also excellent in the ability to lead newcomers, and as a strict officer, I believe that the new generation of Barcelona will have a brand-new performance in his hands.
But at the same time, his tactical level is definitely not brilliant. During Everton's time, his defensive level was indeed better, but at the same time he was a little lacking in offensive skills, which is quite contradictory in Barcelona, where Messi is about to get old. Messi is still strong, Barcelona must win all kinds of championships, Coleman's resume and tactical performance do not have such a level.
Therefore, it is necessary for Coleman or the whole Barcelona team to sort out their ideas, especially the coaching staff have their own duties and complement each other to make up for Coleman's shortcomings. It is not impossible for Barcelona to counterattack.
