Chapter 53: Header Achievement
"Okay, Boris, let's gossip, the game is about to start, what do you think of this game?" Dicker changed the subject. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
'I think it's a very difficult game to play, Sunderland are unbeaten in their last five warm-up games with four wins and one draw, and today is their home stadium again, so it will be very difficult for Dortmund to win. "And we had never played Sunderland before, so we knew almost nothing about the opponent, which added to the difficulty of the game. ”
"Man, you're being too cautious. Sunderland have just recently changed their manager, with Big Sam Allardyce already in charge of the England squad and now David Moyes as the manager. Dicker disagreed," and we have the in-form Pom, as well as Gotze and Schurrle, who will also be making their debut for Borussia Dortmund. ”
'David Moyes is still a good manager, after all, he has been in charge of Manchester United before and he has been at Everton for a long time. Rupert retorted, "I won't talk about the Chinese boy, I don't agree with you when you say Gotze, do you know what the media said recently, saying that Gotze is picked up by his girlfriend every day, and lunch is not eaten in the team's restaurant, and it is impossible to expect Gotze to play in this game." ”
"Okay, man, I know you're very unhappy with Götze's move to Bayern, but that's in the past, Götze is now a Borussia Dortmund player and wears the number 10 shirt, the fans are very focused on him, we should give him more support." Dicker exhorted.
"I only support the in-form players in the Borussia Dortmund squad." Rupert was not convinced, "Götze has to put in a good performance if he wants to get my support, and I think that's what the Dortmund fans are looking forward to. ”
'The players are coming out, so let's look at the starting line-up for the next two teams.' Dicker changed the subject, "Dortmund's starting lineup is: goalkeeper Burki, defenders Schmelzer, Bartra, Sokoradis, Paslak, midfielders Shahin, Castro, Dembele, Kagawa Shinji, Rode, forward Pang Hao, Dortmund is in a 4231 formation...... Sunderland starts: goalkeeper Manone, Van Ahnholt, Caboul, Koné, O'Shea at the back, Cattermole, Rodwell, Lens, Khazri in midfield, Watmore and Borini in the forwards, Sunderland plays in a 442 formation......"
"Norbert, do you see that?" Rupert was excited, "Coach Tuchel's starting line-up was all substitutes and the Chinese boys were among them......
Dicker is a little crazy, this Rupert is really unrepentant, he can always seize every opportunity to discredit Chinese boys. Is Rupert really not afraid of fan complaints, or does he want to be fined. Dicker smiled wryly. But Rupert said something he didn't agree with.
"Man, is this really Dortmund's bench lineup?" Dicker asked rhetorically, "Schmelzer, Socras, Castro, Shinji Kagawa, Pang Hao, are these players all substitutes?" ”
"Man, I know I went a little too far, but most of the players in this starting lineup are really on the bench." Rupert defended, "Schmelzer was the main player last season, but his position was brought in Guerrero this season, so Schmelzer is likely to be in the main position this season; Socoradis has been a regular at centre-back this season, but he could have been a substitute if it hadn't been for Subodic's injury season; Castro has been the main midfielder in these warm-up games, but after Weigel's return, his main position is up for debate; Shinji Kagawa should be the main player, but Dortmund's newly introduced Gotze is also playing in this position, although I am not optimistic about Gotze, but I think Tuchel coach will give Gotze a lot of opportunities in the new season; The last Chinese boy, I think even if he has been doing well in the warm-ups, no one dares to say that he will replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, don't forget Schurrle, he can also play as a striker, and the Chinese boy is the third most in the forward position......"
Dicker knew that there was not much problem with his friend Rupert's analysis, and although this guy had a stubborn personality, there was still no big problem with his professionalism. But Rupert's analysis is based on last season, and is more of a static analysis, and the form of the players will be different from season to season, so there must be a big hole in this analysis.
"Well, Boris, although there is not much problem with your analysis, you have overlooked one of the most important factors - the form of the players, and the form is the key factor that determines the main team and the substitutes." Dicker retorted, "The game is on, let's put it to the test." ”
On the field, the referee blew the whistle and the game officially began. The fat man was at the front of the team after the start of the game, but whenever the fat man ran near the penalty area, Sunderland central defender Koné pushed the fat man out. The fat man suddenly felt like he was playing in the Championship. Fat people love physical confrontation because it is a feature of the Championship game. Although Sunderland is a Premier League team, due to its strength, it belongs to the bottom of the Premier League, and the style of play is very similar to that of the Championship team.
After the opening, Dortmund mainly penetrated short passes, and rarely passed long passes, because compared with Sunderland's players, Dortmund's players have a certain technical advantage. Sunderland is dominated by long passes, their strikers Watmore and Borini have a strong impact, and Sunderland manager David Moyes also knows that the team will definitely suffer from fighting with Dortmund in the midfield, so he chose a long pass and rush tactics to pass the midfield as soon as possible. The game between the two teams was fast-paced and the game was very good.
In the fifth minute of the game, Dortmund had the first chance. Kagawa took the ball in the middle and chose to split the side, and Dembele, who was inserted on the side, deceived the Sunderland full-back O'Shea who defended him with a feint, and burst into the penalty area, but Sunderland central defender Kone's defense was very timely and blocked Dembele's cross line, Dembele broke through to the bottom line and chose to shoot low, but unfortunately the angle was too small, and the ball was shot into the side netting.
"Dembele's shot! Oh, and the ball hit the side-netting. Rupert was a little regretful, "But Dembele's breakthrough was very beautiful, and O'Shea, who defended Dembele, turned too slowly......"
"Dembele's breakthrough is very good, but the confrontation ability still needs to be improved." Dicker commented: "Dembele has almost no chance to get off his feet under Sunderland centre-back Koné, he is light but lacks some strength! ”
Although it is only the beginning of August, the weather in the northern English city of Sunderland is already very cool, the temperature is in the twenties, compared to the 344 degrees in Shanghai and Shenzhen this season, the weather here is more suitable for the game. Although the fat man didn't get many opportunities in the front court, the fat man kept grabbing the ball, and Sunderland's attack was mostly launched in the backfield, which gave the fat man a chance.
In the tenth minute of the game, Dortmund had another chance to shoot on goal. After Dembele broke through the blockage with the ball, he passed the ball to the fat man, but the ball passed a little forward, and was cut off by another Sunderland central defender, Caboul wanted to kick forward, but was blocked by Pang's sliding tackle, and the ball rolled to the feet of Rod on the right edge of the penalty area, Rod shot directly from a distance, but the angle was not well controlled and missed.
"Rod's shot! Oh, missed. Rupert shook his head, "Rod is too eager to shoot and in his position, the far corner is a good choice!" ”
'It was a shot that went down to Pom and he created it for Rohdes. Dicker exclaimed: 'Pang is now getting used to the tactics of Coach Tuchel and he is starting to threaten in the front court. ”
The fat man has not had too good opportunities in the front court, today the two wings Dembele and Rod have a strong desire to attack, and there are not many passes to the fat man, and the fat man has been taken care of by Koné and Kabo in the middle, almost every time he takes the ball, he is almost facing away from the goal, the fat man feels that the opportunity is not good, and he did not choose to activate the heat flow, and finally chose to pass back to his teammates.
It was only after 15 minutes that the two teams stepped up their attacking efforts, with Sunderland's crosses from both flanks being resolute as they found that there was only one high point in the Dortmund backline, Socorades, and that the defence was poor. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, insisted on hitting the ground, which is also a tradition for Dortmund, to get opportunities through quick passes.
The fat man was very envious when he saw that the Sunderland defender frequently sent crosses and hoisted the ball towards the goal. Although the fat man has scored a lot of goals recently, but there are few headers, you must know that when the fat man is in the Myburgh team, the header is the focus of the fat man's scoring, and every time the Myburgh team can't open the situation, the fat man's header will be the killer weapon for the team to win. However, the situation changed after arriving at Dortmund, Tuchel's quick passing tactics inhibited the fat man's header play, and Dortmund's crosses from the side were dominated by boccia, because there was a super fast start to Aubameyang in the team, and Aubameyang's header was very average.
But the fat man doesn't care, each team has a different style. The fat man also doesn't want to rely on headers to score all the time, just like now the fat man has an extra long-range shooting technique, and the running position is also in training, the fat man's goal-scoring means are becoming richer, and the arsenal has more and more weapons, and the fat man is having a single characteristic player to a full-fledged player. Once the fat man completes the transformation, the fat man can easily score points even if he does not activate the heat flow.
Twenty minutes into the game, the fat man finally got his chance. Kagawa, Dembele and Castro cut through the right flank and finally tore apart the Sunderland defence, Dembele managed to break down the right flank, this time Dembele did not choose to shoot, but chose to cross, facing the defense of Sunderland full-back O'Shea, Dembele hoisted the ball towards the goal near the bottom corner.
Seeing that Dembele successfully hoisted the ball to the goal, the fat man who was outflanked in the middle was suddenly overjoyed, he really wanted to come to something, before the fat man pondered that Dortmund passed the ball in the air, but he didn't expect Dembele to seize the opportunity to pass once. However, Dembele's cross was a bit powerful, and the fat man was going to outflank him in the middle, and he was surrounded by Koné, who was close to the fat man. Seeing that the ball fell a little backward, the fat man instantly activated the heat flow, facing the direction where the ball was flying, the fat man retreated in small steps, and saw that the ball was about to fly over his head, and the fat man instantly jumped up. The fat man tried to stretch his neck, but at this time the fat man had no way to exert his strength, because the fat man's head was as high as the ball, as long as he exerted his strength, the ball would definitely be flew, and the only way to score was to point the ball into the goal. The fat man's eyes were glued to the ball, trying to control the balance of his body, and finally the fat man's forehead touched the ball.
The fat man who was lagging behind finally couldn't control the balance of his body and fell to the ground. However, at the moment of falling to the ground, the fat man saw the ball fly into the upper right corner of the goal.
"The ball is in! Pang's header is very exciting! Dicker burst out, "It's very difficult to get the ball up because Pom is a bit forward, he steps back and chases the ball, but he controls his balance and finally points the ball into the goal." ”
Rupert didn't support the fat man, but he also knew he had to say something. As a player, of course he understands the difficulty of this ball, this ball can't exert force, only skill; Even if you use skill, you have to pay attention to the proportion, this measure is to change the direction of the ball, use the power of the ball itself to bounce to complete the goal, once you use a little force the ball will be high above the crossbar.
"The use of power is very important, you can't use the power because the head is almost as high as the ball, you can't hold the ball at all, and with a little force, the ball will go over the crossbar. The only way to do this is to change the direction of the ball, even with a tap on the head. "Rupert's review was professional, but he didn't mention the fat man's name from beginning to end.
"Man, you said what I wanted to say." Dicker said with a smile, "Pang is a very good header, but I came to this conclusion not because of this goal, but because of Poon's previous goals. Pang scored a lot of goals for Myburgh last season, but he scored almost half of them with his head, and I think that statistic might be very useful for Thomas Tuchel. ”
"Man, you mean that Dortmund should pass more high-flying balls and let the Chinese boys fight for the top?" Rupert immediately understood.
"Yes!" Dicker replied in the affirmative.
'Man, two wide crosses, high bombing, that's the hallmark of English football, not the specialty of German football. Rupert retorted, "This kind of high-altitude bombing is actually not very efficient, because if the ball is too fast, the striker is not easy to reach, and the ball is too slow and gives the opponent's defenders and goalkeepers time to react." ”
"Boris, what you say is absolute, the header is a very important means of scoring for the German national team, former German internationals Jurgen Klinsmann and Bierhoff are experts in this area, and Klose is also an expert in this area."
'Norbert, I'm not talking about the German national team, I'm talking about Borussia Dortmund, the essence of coach Tuchel's tactics is to be fast, and the header is not a very good means of scoring because he slows down the ball. Rupert argued.
"Dortmund didn't score enough headers because Dortmund lacked experts in this area before, and Aubameyang is not short, but he relies more on his pace." Dicker retorted, "Now that we have Pong, we should play more of that, just like we did when we had Jan Kohler, Pom's header is a huge threat and should be taken seriously. ”
"You mean that because the Chinese boy has a good header, the team should assign a separate tactic for him?" Rupert asked.
"Yes!" Dicker replied in the affirmative again.
"Man, how is this possible?" Rupert was surprised, "This is a privilege that only Aubameyang has, do you put Chinese boys on the same level as Aubameyang?" ”
"Why not?" Dicker disagreed, "Developing a reasonable strategy according to the characteristics of the striker is what the manager should do. It's all about scoring goals, it's all about winning. ”
"Man, I find out you've really become a fan of Chinese boys." Rupert said frustratedly, "But in the end, it was Coach Tuchel who had the final say. (To be continued.) )
