As he said this, Heynckes pointed to Bayer Leverkusen's number 39 on the sideline.
Tony Kroos!
The German prodigy.
"He told me that when he was playing for Bayern, he often ran into similar problems as you."
Wang Shuo was taken aback.
'Is this a dilemma unique to geniuses?'
"But that's Bayern!" Heynckes laughed.
"Football has never just been about science and data. It's also a kind of metaphysics, something that relies on a certain feeling."
"Whenever people are involved, feeling is especially important."
At this, Heynckes laughed again.
"When I was talking with Klopp just now, I told him that you guys are using a sort of 'thuggish' style of play."
"After winning the ball in the midfield or backfield, you quickly pass it forward to launch a fast break. If you score, great. If you lose the ball, the whole team pushes up and immediately applies a high press, forcing the opponent into mistakes."
