For the first time this season, the Westphalian Stadium was left without laughter after a match as their side suffered their first league defeat.

At half-time, Yan Jing didn't lose his temper with the players who didn't play well in the first half, and the problem wasn't just with them.

Yan Jing calmly talked to the players.

"Records will naturally come when this kind of thing should come, and if you can't get it, you can't get it, and it's useless for you to be in a hurry. Play well in the second half and forget about what a streak can break the record. ”

At the start of the second half, Yan Jing replaced Ribery with Di Maria and then replaced Villa with Suarez.

Yan Jing's words in midfield calmed the players' mentality a little, and they were not so eager to play.

The second half was almost a one-sided siege by Borussia Dortmund against Bochum, and the team had several good chances, but unfortunately their luck was not good today, and they could not equalize in the end.

The referee blew the final whistle and Ribery, who had been substituted on the bench, touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly with Villa.

Not only did the record not be broken, but they also conceded three points at home.

Yan Jing watched as the Bochum players celebrated the hard-won victory, while the Dortmund players stayed on the pitch in frustration and walked over without saying a word.

Di Maria was still disappointed with his late shot that hit the post, when he suddenly felt a slap on the head.

He raised his head and was stunned: "Boss?"

"Angel. Yan Jing's face didn't have the smile of the past, but he was not as disappointed as the others, and he calmly grabbed Di Maria's hand and dragged the person away, "It's time for us to thank the fans." ”

The other players also followed their manager when they heard Yan Jing's words, and they raised their arms to greet the fans, but they were obviously not as powerful as before.

David Silva watched the fans in the South Stand barely leave, and gave them thunderous applause for the loss, and his sense of loss suddenly eased a lot.

Yan Jing led the team back to the locker room, the previous post-match summary was always relaxed and happy, and today's strange silence made the players not know what to say.

Looking at the players who were all buried in their heads, Yan Jing slapped the wardrobe amusefully and asked them to raise their heads.

"Why, didn't you break the record and hurt your young minds?"

The manager's voice made Dort's players have to look up, and people like Ribery and Villa are even ready to be blamed.

After all, his impatience was one of the main reasons why he lost the game......

"This was the case in the last game, and after the game, I asked you to focus less on this kind of meaningless thing, and you all agreed, but what was the result?

Yan Jing's face was stiff, and the words of reprimand echoed especially loudly in the quiet and cramped locker room.

"I've always trusted you wholeheartedly, and I think you're basically adults, and it stands to reason that you won't be affected by this kind of thing, it seems that I was wrong. ”

"Seriously, it's a shame for the fans to see you in two games in a row like you did in the first half. ”

The players pricked up their ears to take Yan Jing's words into their ears, and none of them dared to reply to the self-righteous loss, waiting for the "storm" that might be coming.

It's just that the angry scolding they expected didn't come as expected, and they watched Yan Jing pacing to the door and writing down the results of the second game in October in green.

Immediately, their head coach turned around and smiled for the first time since the game.

"But I can understand your feelings, who wouldn't want to take such a record into their arms?"

"Actually, I was also at fault, I failed to adjust your mentality in time. Yan Jing continued, "To use a metaphor that may not be appropriate, it's like I saw a hot blonde dangling around Frank, and Frank's eyes already showed the thought of 'I'm going to ask her out!', but I just verbally said goodbye to Frank and didn't care." ”

Yan Jing's analogy made the players hold back laughter, and Ribery's face burned, and he coughed twice and defended himself weakly.

"Boss, I'm not that kind of person!"

"I'm just using an analogy, Frank. Yan Jing spread his hands, "What about the result? You must have thought about it, Frank still asked the blonde out. Obviously, I should have taken Frank right away and left him with no chance. ”

Yan Jing didn't blame them completely, which also made the players relax a lot.

"But—"

This "but" suddenly stopped laughing again.

"The main responsibility, I believe you should understand who it is. Yan Jing glanced at Berry, "If it were Lilian, I'm sure he wouldn't have dated the blonde, Frank, right?"

Ribery scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Boss, I know I'm wrong......"

"It doesn't matter, people will always make mistakes, the important thing is to eat a trench and grow wise, and don't let such a mistake be made again. ”

Yan Jing understands that in competitive sports, no matter how strong the team is, it is absolutely impossible to always win.

There are ups and downs, and a dynasty may have an unbeaten myth like Arsenal in the 0304 season at its peak, but such a myth will eventually be ended.

Whether it's football or anything else, can you identify any athlete or team who has never tasted defeat from the beginning to the end of their career?

Strength is relative, and strength is never the only factor that determines the final victory. If power can dominate a qiē, then competitive sports lose their most fascinating unpredictability, and there is no even need to exist.

Numbers can never be judged absolutely, and miracle flowers that are counterintuitive in competition often bloom, as if the nutrients it absorbs are infused with the beautiful soul of nature's unknown mysteries.

"Actually, now we only lost one game, football, even the strongest team will always lose one day, right? If you have the thought of 'we actually lost', it means that we are a strong team that is used to winning. ”

Yan Jing is not worried about today's loss, in fact, he thinks that today's defeat is a good thing.

With seven consecutive league wins, and successive victories over tough opponents like Barcelona and Chelsea in the Champions League, even Yan Jing himself feels a little fluttery, not to mention the players, some of whom may be intoxicated by the successive victories.

Today's loss to Bochum is a basin of cold water, which wakes everyone up and becomes the best example for them to warn themselves in the future.

Today's loss doesn't change the overall situation, and if you lose the game when it will change the overall situation, it's useless to cry.

Yan Jing's only worry was that this loss would change the good momentum of the past two months, so he immediately gave psychological guidance to the players.

"The fact is that it didn't affect us much. If you look at the standings, we're in first place with seven wins and one loss and 21 points. Stuttgart, who are second in the table, have four wins, two draws and one defeat, and even if they win tomorrow, they will only have 17 points, so we will have to pray that we will make another mistake if we want to catch up. ”

He raised his voice: "Tell me, even if Stuttgart kneels down and begs us, will we give them such a chance?"

The boss is right, if you lose, you lose, and it's useless to think about it.

After Yan Jing's words, the Dortmund players let go of the entanglement in their hearts about the defeat in this game, and they replied in unison.

"Of course not, sir!"

After finishing the communication with the players, Yan Jing went to the post-match press conference alone.

Before this game, all the media praised Dortmund and Yan Jing, after all, the opening seven consecutive wins are the best start of the season in the top five leagues.

The last game of the lucky win against Cottages, although a small part of the media also questioned the team's form, but more attention fell on the topic of "winning one game to set a record".

Now that Dortmund have lost, Yan Jing can fully imagine the sudden change in the attitude of the media.

"Mr. Yan Jing, the players of Dortmund are not in good shape in this game, what is the reason for this?"

Why is it all because of you?!

Of course, the reason why this kind of ridicule from the media cannot be spoken, and Yan Jing's face did not change: "The consumption in the past two months has been too great, and the players' bodies have been tired in different ways. ”

But don't they still look like they're still very good at running?

The reporter of "Kicker" stood up and said: "Ribery, who was excellent a while ago, has not scored in two rounds......"

Yan Jing nodded good-natured and smiled: "Yes, not only that, but there are many strikers like Klose and Gomez who have not scored in two rounds." Is it unusual to not score in two rounds?"

Dortmund's performance in the two rounds also worried Juul Lambert, who asked Yan Jing a question.

"Will this affect Dortmund's next game? You have the Champions League against Olympiacos in five days' time, and if you win this game, Dortmund have a good chance of progressing to the knockout rounds. Will the team consider using a rotation system?"

What Lambert said still makes sense, and Yan Jing himself has considered this. In fact, the physical condition of the players is very good now, and the conclusion given by the comprehensive team doctor is that there is no need for rotation at present, and when the season is halfway through, in order to prevent large-scale invasion of injuries, rotation is essential.

'It's normal to feel tired after a long game and I'm sure my players can get fit in the next few days and face the Champions League in 100 per cent. ”
