Thirty-four-year-old Matthias Summerr stood stiff in the visitors' coaching area, his eyes firmly fixed straight ahead. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He is the hottest young manager in the Bundesliga right now, and there is no one.

He, from East Germany.

In many of the information about him, the GDR is still remembered in the nationality column, and it has not changed to this day.

It was like a whip that was whipping him from time to time.

They started their careers at East German giants Dresden, but after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the merger of East and West Germany, the team entered the Bundesliga, but it quickly plummeted and is now relegated to the third division of Germany.

The former East German giants are all scattered under the impact of the wealthy West German professional teams.

Even the players are not as good as they used to be.

The only one who can still stand at the top of the Bundesliga is now only Bayer Leverkusen's Ballack.

After the merger of East and West Germany, Summer, like many East German players, moved to West Germany, first at Stuttgart and then at Inter Milan, but returned to the Bundesliga a year later to join Borussia Dortmund.

It was at Borussia Dortmund that he reached the pinnacle of his career, winning the Bundesliga and the Champions League, as well as winning the European Footballer of the Year.

He is the second German defender after Beckenbauer to receive the award.

He then suffered a knee injury and eventually retired at the age of 30 after the World Cup in France.

But he still couldn't leave professional football.

Just a year after Summer's retirement, Dortmund encountered a huge existential crisis.

After coach Heathfield led the team to win the Champions League and moved to Bayern Munich, Dortmund suffered a series of setbacks, especially in the head coach position, with frequent changes of coaches.

In the 99-00 season, Dortmund, under the leadership of German coach Michael Skibey, fell into the relegation zone, and Skibe was sacked in February.

But after two months in charge of Austrian coach Bernd Krauss, the team's results did not improve, and the Hornets panicked and feared a relegation nightmare.

At the critical moment, Udo Radke, who has the title of the first coach in German history, came out of the mountain, and Summerer served as his chief assistant, and the two turned the tide and saved Dortmund from danger, with a record of two wins, two draws and one loss in five games, and successfully relegated.

At that time, the old coach Udo Ratke was already a 65-year-old senior leader, and his energy was not as good as before, and the specific affairs were handed over to Summer, so after Dortmund's relegation was successful, Summerer successfully turned positive and became the coach of the Hornets.

A year later, the Hornets, led by Summer, climbed from last season's difficult relegation to third place in the league and qualified for the European Cup.

This season, Summerr went one step further, leading Dortmund to the second place in the league for a long time, biting the leader Bayer Leverkusen, and there was a lot of iron-blooded courage that did not give up until the last minute.

It is precisely because of the outstanding results in the past two years at Dortmund, coupled with Summer's own rebellious personality, that he has become a well-known young coach in the Bundesliga, and the Dortmund he leads is also the feared Iron Army in the Bundesliga.

Tonight, he led his legion to Calderón Stadium.

He knew Gao Han, a young marshal who was younger than him.

He also learned about Atletico Madrid, a team that has never been beaten.

But so what?

There is always a first time for everything!

…………

…………

"This Dortmund team is really brave!"

Eméne said worriedly.

With Atletico Madrid's rise to prominence, many teams have resorted to more modest tactics when they visit the Stadio Calderón.

But Sommer's Dortmund did not.

The Hornets are still using the high-pressing tactics they believe in in the Bundesliga, and they are pressing.

Not only that, but in terms of arranging troops, Summerer is also domineering, resolutely adopting the single-back tactics of a four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Lehmann, while the backline is Brazilian left-back Dede, veteran Coral Corel, rising stars Metzeld and Evanilson.

The midfield trio, East German youngster Kehl, who moved from Freiburg during the winter break, was deployed as a back-to-back midfielder, Rosicky and Ricken stepped forward, and the forward three were Amoruso, Jan Kohler and Everton.

It was clear from the starting line-up that Dortmund were determined to make a difference on the road.

"It's really good!" said Gao Han.

He still admires Summer's courage very much.

But it's the UEFA Cup semi-final, and here is Calderón.

There is an old saying in the Chinese, just over easy to fold, smooth over easy to be arrogant.

Dortmund have been too smooth in recent times.

After beating Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-1 at home, then slaughtering Freiburg 5-1 away, and then beating Cottage 3-0 at home, the Hornets have been invincible in the Bundesliga in the last three rounds.

This also makes Summerer full of confidence in his set of four-three-three play.

The attack is excellent, aggressive, and the style of play is very unrestrained, which is indeed quite rare.

But the cost is also very clear.

To support this style of play, Summerr has adopted a man-to-man defensive strategy at the back of Borussia Dortmund. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Han pointed his right hand into the field, "You see, Coral defends Villa, Metzeld defends Torres, and single back Kyle defends Kaka, is he too confident in his defense?"

Cantarero and Emery really thought it was when they heard Gao Han say this.

Atletico Madrid's three attackers have excellent individual ability, not to mention one-on-one in many cases, and really grasp the loophole, and it is entirely possible for one-on-two to threaten, especially Kaka.

The use of one-on-one, man-to-man defense is indeed too big.

"What does he want to do?" Emery couldn't read.

It stands to reason that Gao Han can see this, and there is no reason why Summerer himself should not know.

After hearing this, Gao Han smiled silently.

Cantarero looked at a fellow Spaniard and smiled slightly: "Of course he understands, but he doesn't have a choice." ”

"Why?"

'It's simple because in front of us, they don't have a rhythm and they don't have an advantage on the ball. ”

Emery was a smart man, and his eyes lit up when he heard that.

He understood.

Summer's idea was to muddy the waters from the start, and since he couldn't control the ball and the tempo, he simply let Atletico Madrid not want to control the game smoothly.

And that's what Dortmund is good at.

Isn't that how they got their title of Predator?

But the price, and obviously, is that you have to run at the expense of your physical strength.

This is also very much in line with the characteristics of the German team.

"So what do we do now?" Emery looked at Gao Han.

But Gao Han smiled slightly, "Wait, we can afford to play anyway." ”

…………

…………

Running up and down Dortmund with all his strength, pressing and pressing under high pressure, Atletico Madrid was unable to get into the rhythm and stabilize possession.

However, the Sheets quickly relied on the individual ability of their players to create the first threatening attack of the game.

It happened in the fourth minute, when Xavi Alonso launched a long pass from the back and Torres tried to force a breakthrough, but was fouled by the opposing centre-back Coral and the Sheets won a set-piece in front.

Xavi Alonso took the penalty but couldn't threaten.

Just five minutes later, Atletico Madrid were on the offensive again, with Jankulovski playing a pass down the left to Villa, who shook off Metzeld one-on-one and crossed but Coral was the first to clear.

The ball fell to the edge of the penalty area, and Kaka cut in and fired a straight shot high.

Borussia Dortmund were quick to make a dangerous attack, with Rosicky picking up a pass from a team-mate on the left flank, breaking away from Dario Srna's defence and cutting into the box to smash a shot into the box.

It was a sudden, dangerous shot that was a sudden, but thankfully Cech was calm at the crucial moment and flew to save the ball.

This wonderful save from the Czech goalkeeper also won him a full applause.

Just a minute later, Atletico Madrid immediately returned the color, Kaka retreated to receive the ball, turned and dribbled wildly, entered the 30-metre area of Dortmund, and passed to the feet of Villa.

At the critical moment, Metzelder committed a decisive foul, tripped Villa, and was severely warned by the referee.

But Atletico Madrid's chance to counter-attack was lost.

Both teams were known for their tenacious style, entering a bloody white-knuckle battle from the very beginning of the game without the slightest temptation.

The game was very intense, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and the fans also enjoyed watching it.

But it wasn't until twenty minutes later that Atletico Madrid began to find their groove and consciously slow down.

…………

…………

Gao Han raised his head, looked at the time on the scoreboard, and laughed.

"It's only been twenty minutes. ”

After the opening, the pace of the game was fast, and the offensive and defensive transitions were frequent, which was a great drain on the players' physical energy.

Dortmund originally wanted to rely on this tactic to disrupt Atletico Madrid's tactics and rhythm, but in terms of physical consumption, Atletico Madrid itself is not afraid of any team.

You must know that this season, whether in Europe or in La Liga, Atletico Madrid is the team with the most runs per game, and many players in the team are firmly at the top of the running distance list.

In the words of the likes of Aragonés and Heynckes, Atletico Madrid built possession on the distance traveled.

What's even more surprising is that the fitness of the Atletico Madrid players is quite good, the team has few injuries, and even the old sick Kiko has sprouted new trees, not only not injured or sick, but in a hot state.

Only Gao Han knew in his heart that this was due to the pre-season optimization training, and the ten achievement points at the beginning were really worth it.

Because of this, Gao Han can confidently say that Atletico Madrid can afford to play.

Now, Dortmund is starting to fail.

"It's our turn!"

Gao Han smiled confidently, took two steps forward, and walked directly to the sidelines.

All of a sudden, the entire Calderón stadium exploded.

More than 50,000 fans chanted in unison, and even Summer, who was next door, was taken aback.

I've heard of this classic scene at Calderón Stadium before, but now that I've experienced it myself, Summer, who is a daring artist, can't help but be secretly surprised.

This guy is going to tweak!

How will he adjust?

Gao Han called Deco, who was close to the sidelines, over as if no one was around, and after explaining, he patted the latter's shoulder and asked him to return to the game.

Entering the coaching system, the pass cards and assist cards that have long been upgraded to three stars are thrown out casually.

The two skill cards immediately form a combination card effect that does not miss the ball.

"Since you want to play, then let's play bigger, let's decide the winner in one battle!"

Gao Han's provocative eyes made Summer's heart chill, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart. (To be continued.) )
