Chapter 367: Multiple Records
Borussia Dortmund defeated their fellow rivals Fortuna Dusseldorf 3-1 at the Esprit Arena, and the process and result were good, except for Weidenfeller's foul before full-time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After all, the score was already 3:0 at that time, and it didn't matter if he conceded a goal from behind, so he abandoned the goal and knocked down the opposing striker, resulting in a yellow card and a penalty.
If the opponent is good to beat in the next round of the league, there is no problem, the key is that Dortmund will face Bayern Munich at home in the next round......
The main goalkeeper was suspended for accumulating five yellow cards ahead of the crucial game, which had a huge impact on Dortmund's preparations for next weekend's German derby at the Lun Stadium in Westphara.
As the saying goes, a good goalkeeper can beat half the team.
Weidenfeller is not a German international or a top goalkeeper in the Bundesliga, but his playing experience is very important to Dortmund at the moment.
He didn't make stunning saves, and he didn't make any unnecessary mistakes.
The goalkeeper is originally a position that does not seek merit but no fault, so Weidenfeller has been Dortmund's number one goalkeeper all these years.
In one word, steady.
With the second leg of the Champions League semi-final in midweek and the German national derby next weekend, manager Jurgen Klopp has a bit of a headache.
He really didn't expect that at this juncture, there would be a starting goalkeeper who accumulated yellow cards and was suspended.
The problem is that the current No. 2 goalkeeper Yan Junling has not played an official game since he joined Dortmund, which is equivalent to saying that there may be uncontrollable results in a game of this level in the German national derby......
Of course, that's not where Klopp's real headache lies.
His biggest headache is whether to use Yan Junling in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final in midweek, and the 4-0 advantage at home makes the trip a lot easier, with plenty of room for manoeuvre in terms of personnel use.
However, the position of goalkeeper is very special, and it will be a big hidden danger to change it easily.
Besides, Yan Junling has not played an official match in Dortmund, what is his psychological condition?
Will the game be tense?
There are a lot of questions that need to be thought out in advance.
At the same time, the Chinese media has been overwhelmingly reported in the country, but the focus is not on China's No. 1 star Tang Zheng, but on Yan Junling.
Yan Junling, who joined Dortmund at the beginning of this year, is not favored by many 'experts', and there have been no cases of Chinese goalkeepers playing league abroad in the past football years, even if you look at the entire Asian goalkeeper playing in European teams, it is rare.
Who is Ngan Chun Ling?
A goalkeeper who has played in the Chinese League on behalf of Shanghai Telles and has not even played in China's top league will play in a top club like Dortmund.
Until after the 31st round of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season, it seemed that Yan Junling's hopes of playing for Dortmund seemed to have increased greatly.
The No. 1 goalkeeper missed the German national derby, and the No. 2 goalkeeper naturally had to go up.
Public opinion in China quickly spread to Dortmund, Germany through the Internet, Yan Junling, as a post-90s player, his growth is accompanied by the development of the Internet, so he usually likes to use social software.
Weibo is a good thing.
Yan Junling saw the news about him in the meager popularity, so he ...... He realised he would have a good chance of being Borussia Dortmund's starting goalkeeper against Bayern Munich in the next round.
I'm a mother!
Yan Junling, who saw the news, felt that a big pie had fallen from the sky, and he almost didn't knock him out.
After a short period of adaptation, Yan Junling began to feel nervous.
This tension continued to the Stobelari training ground, and even affected the quality of Yan Junling's training.
※※※
Goalkeeper coach Teddy Debil led three first-team goalkeepers through training at the other end of the goal before walking towards Jurgen Klopp with a frown.
"Huh, Teddy, what's wrong?"
Klopp turned his head to look at goalkeeper coach Teddy DiBeer, who looked depressed.
"I think it's going to be difficult for Yan to play in the national derby at home next weekend. ”
Teddy Dibil said solemnly.
"Oh, are you too nervous?"
"Huh?" Teddy Dibil was stunned, "How do you know? Did you watch the simple warm-up just now?"
"Nope. Klopp shook his head and smiled, pointed to his temples and said, "Guess here." ”
Teddy Dibil gave Klopp a roll of his eyes and said speechlessly: "Get rid of it, you are going to snatch the league title with Bayern next week, and you still have the heart to joke with me?"
"Don't say that. Jurgen Klopp's right hand was placed on Teddy Debeer's right shoulder and said meaningfully: "Everyone has nervous moments, the key is to see how we guide them, Yan is not only optimistic about his prospects, but also a good goalkeeper that you are advocating to bring in, huh?"
Hearing this, Teddy Dibil smiled awkwardly, the German media has been reporting about who replaced Weidenfeller, who has accumulated yellow cards and suspended, and as a goalkeeper coach, he has a certain amount of pressure.
After all, when it comes to goalkeeper selection, goalkeeper coaches are more authoritative.
As Jurgen Klopp said, Yan Junling is a young goalkeeper he is quite optimistic about.
Everyone gets nervous, but whether or not people will be beaten by nervousness depends on time and competition.
And Klopp also said that nervousness needs to be channeled and turned into endless motivation.
This should be done by the goalkeeper coach.
At the same time, Tang Zheng walked up to Yan Junling with a bottle of high-nutrition drink prepared by the team doctor and handed it over: "Huh." ”
Tang Zheng's status in Dortmund was like that of a king, even as a compatriot, Yan Junling was taken aback and stunned.
"Don't you drink?"
As soon as the words fell, Yan Junling subconsciously took the drink bottle.
"Sit down. ”
Yan Junling naturally sat on Tang Zheng's right side while unscrewing the cap of the drink bottle.
"It's possible to be the starting list for the home game against Bayern at the weekend, and you're both excited and nervous, right?" Tang Zheng got straight to the point.
"Yes" Yan Junling still knows Tang Zheng's personality well, so he didn't deny it: "But I feel more nervous." ”
"I understand your feelings. Tang Zheng propped the turf with his hands back, looked up at the blue sky, and smiled: "I remember that the first time I participated in a national derby was eighteen years old, eighteen years old......! What kind of concept is that? How excited is my heart, how nervous I am? And it was a guest at Candy Box Stadium, which is known as one of the most terrifying home stadiums in the world, and the deafening boos swept over the world......"
"You've probably heard about the rest of the story, I'm the best player of the game!the first Asian-Argentinian national derby player of the best!...... I became the most hated player of Boca Juniors, and now, I am the most hated player of Bayern and I want you to be ...... years from now I can hear the Bayern fans say, oh, that Chinese Yan? I don't want him, I want him to die!"
Tang Zheng patiently talked about the past deeds, and Yan Junling was a good listener.
Gradually, Yan Junling suddenly felt an unprecedented self-confidence burst out from the depths of his heart.
The mind was taken to Westfal Stadium with a deafening loud cheer and the entire stadium fans chanting his name......
Tang Zheng turned his head to look at Yan Junling, didn't say anything more, but stood up and continued his daily warm-up training.
In the rest shed of the Stobelari Training Center, Klopp pointed in the direction of Tang Zheng and Yan Junling, turned his head and smiled at Teddy Dibil: "It seems that you can save a lot of effort." ”
"Oh?" Teddy Dybil crossed his hands, turned his head to look, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Maybe I should be out of work." ”
"Hahaha. ”
Jurgen Klopp and Teddy Debil looked at each other and smiled.
※※※
With Tang Zheng's guidance, Yan Junling's mentality gradually relaxed, and his daily training state slowly recovered, and the goalkeeper coach Teddy Dibeer, who was standing aside to guide, nodded his head.
No one noticed that Weidenfeller's expression was much darker than before, and his brow was slightly furrowed.
As Yan Junling's training status increased, Weidenfeller's brow furrowed deeper.
At the beginning, he was replaced by Tang Zheng as the team's third captain because of his personality, but he had no choice but to give up the position of third captain because of what coach Klopp said.
And it turns out that Tang Zheng is indeed more suitable to be the captain.
This matter slowly evaporated with the passage of time, but the current starting goalkeeper position is threatened, how can he calm down?
Yan Junling's form is getting better and better, and Klopp came up with the idea of using Yan Junling as the starting goalkeeper in the Champions League semi-finals.
The German national derby is an extraordinarily important game, and it's a game that can't afford to draw!
The four-goal win over Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals gave the team a lot of room for manoeuvre, so in this case, should Yan Junling adapt to the starting goalkeeper in advance?
※※※
Borussia Dortmund's 2012-2013 Champions League semi-final second leg at Camp Nou against Barcelona was played at 8:45 p.m. local time on Tuesday, with the entire Dortmund squad arriving in Barcelona on Monday morning.
At Barcelona International Airport, there is a large number of die-hard Barcelona fans who 'greet' Dortmund.
What is 'greeting'?
Naturally, there were deafening boos and verbal insults of a very insulting nature.
Thankfully, the whole team was prepared, except for a few coaches, the rest of the players wore headphones with strong sound insulation effect, and they could not hear the insults from the Barcelona fanatical fans under the loud music.
Of course, those insulting posters and banners are visible.
Tang Zheng and Lewandowski, as the direct people of Barcelona's 'Westfal Stadium tragedy', received the most insults from Barcelona fanatical fans, especially Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng is the captain, core, and spiritual leader of Dortmund, and is currently tied with Cristiano Ronaldo for the top scorer with 11 goals, and the threat is undoubtedly the biggest presence in the Dortmund team.
Barcelona fans will want to influence the mentality of Borussia Dortmund's players in this way, so that Barcelona can take advantage of the second leg of the Champions League semi-final tomorrow night.
Borussia Dortmund can win 4-0 at Westphara, so why can't Barcelona win 5-0 at Camp Nou?
In the thirteenth round of the 2010-2011 La Liga season, didn't Barcelona sit at the Camp Nou and beat Real Madrid 5:0?
In order to be able to get a chance to reverse the promotion at home, Barcelona made a wide range of rotations in the weekend league, in order to achieve a big reversal at home!
Head coach Pep Guardiola and captain Xavi have said on various occasions that the team still has a chance to turn around, and as fans, they naturally support it unconditionally.
If you want to win at home, it is nothing more than the right time, place, and people.
The time of day cannot be controlled, it depends on God's mood.
Strategically owned, located at the Camp Nou.
What we have to do is to be active and affect the mood and state of Dortmund players.
As everyone knows, the influence of Barcelona fanatical fans is tantamount to clowns.
With a 4-0 win at home, Dortmund players are looking farther, and even many players are looking at the new Wembley Stadium, where do they care about the defeated Barcelona?
Moreover, I was mentally prepared before arriving in Barcelona, and there were no psychological fluctuations at all.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the whole Dortmund team went to the Camp Nou to acclimatize.
They were treated in the same way as at the airport, with the Barcelona fans on the periphery of the stadium creating a deafening boo in an attempt to disturb the mentality of the entire Dortmund squad as they adapted to the pitch.
However, it turned out that their efforts were not rewarded, and the whole Dortmund team was going very well on the adaptation field.
Two hours later, manager Jurgen Klopp led captain Tang Zheng to the press conference hall at Camp Nou to participate in the regular pre-match press conference.
The questions from the Spanish and German media were regular, and basically revolved around the competition, but only the question of the Chinese media reporters who were qualified to ask questions changed the atmosphere of the press conference.
Although Barcelona is strong, many media believe that Barcelona's desire to achieve a big comeback is tantamount to a dream, so the second leg is considered to be a formality.
Chinese journalists have a different focus, focusing on who Borussia Dortmund's starting goalkeeper for Barcelona is.
Borussia Dortmund will return to the Westphalia Lun Stadium to face Bayern Munich for the biggest league game of the season, and it is at this juncture that the main goalkeeper Weidenfeller has accumulated a yellow card and is out of the squad.
Then the No. 2 goalkeeper Yan Junling will naturally be ordered to serve as the starting goalkeeper of the German national derby.
However, considering that Yan Junling has not been given any playing opportunities since joining Dortmund, there is a certain risk in rushing to use it.
It just so happened that Dortmund beat Barcelona by four goals in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, giving the team a lot of room for mistakes, so should Klopp give Yan Junling a chance to play Barcelona away as the starting goalkeeper?
Originally, the Chinese reporter was in the mentality of trying, but what he didn't expect was that Klopp was blunt and said very seriously: "Considering the weekend league, our coaching staff has unanimously decided to make Yan the starting goalkeeper for tomorrow night's game." ”
Suddenly, the press conference hall was in an uproar.
Chinese journalists were excited, and Yan Junling started the game and will set a number of records.
The German journalist looked a little displeased, because it was too risky.
Catalan journalists were grim-faced, believing that Klopp was taking the second leg too lightly.
Klopp took in the expressions of the reporters present and smiled in his heart.
