Chapter Fifty-Three: The Camp of Wounded Soldiers
The two-week vacation has gone by in a flash, and today is October 12th, two weeks have passed since the fat man's thigh muscle strain. The Dortmund team doctor came to www.biquge.info the Victoria Hospital again and asked the fat man to go back for a check-up.
The fat man knew he had to leave because he was a professional footballer and couldn't stay in the hospital forever. However, the fat man still decided to come over to accompany Caroline as soon as he had time, because the fat man knew that Caroline's days were numbered.
Back at the Dortmund base, the team doctor gave the fat man a physical examination, and the fat man had recovered his health and there were no problems with his body. The return of the fat man and the medical examination were quickly reported through the media, which made many Dortmund fans full of anticipation for the seventh round of the league.
The fat man applied to coach Tuchel for a special holiday, asking for a day or two after the game to go to the UK to take care of his girlfriend, but Tuchel did not approve it, because from the seventh round of the league, Dortmund will have a double game in the future, and Tuchel coach feels that the fat man has no time to take care of others.
Thomas Tuchel is now struggling with the injury problems of his players, as a number of Borussia Dortmund players have been affected by the FIFA virus this international break.
FIFA virus refers to the fact that in the case of the increasing intensity and density of professional football matches, the national team and the club will inevitably have conflicts in the employment of personnel, and the injuries and fatigue of players in the national team games will affect the club's performance, which is jokingly called the "FIFA virus".
This time, Dortmund has a number of main players who have been attacked by the FIFA virus, they are Sokrates, Piszczek, Guerrero, Dembele and others, all of whom have returned from their respective national teams, which may have a big impact on the next league and Champions League of the Hornets.
In the World Preliminary Tournament between Greece and Estonia, Sokladis was substituted for an adductor injury in the first 7 minutes, and according to Greek media, he will have to rest for at least 2 to 3 weeks; Portugal international Guerrero, who suffered a thigh muscle strain in the second half of the World Preliminary Tournament against Andorra, was substituted and did not enter the squad for the subsequent match with the Faroe Islands; Piszczek, who is the absolute main force of Poland, also returned to the club early because of a knee injury in the national team; Dembele, on the other hand, was unable to play due to an ankle injury he sustained during the pre-match warm-up for the France Under-21 game, and the exact injury and recovery time will have to be confirmed after a detailed examination at the club.
On top of that, Castro seemed to have a physical problem when he was substituted two weeks ago, and Castro missed the chance to return to Germany, and the league game against Hertha Berlin at the weekend and the Champions League in midweek could also be affected. In addition, there are old injured players such as Reus, Subotic, Durm and Bender, as well as Schurrle and Ramos, who are recovering. Dort's injury list can almost be put together as a lineup.
Of course, the good news is not without it, such as Spanish defender Baltra who has returned to joint training after recovering from injury, and if it goes well, he can return to the league at the weekend. But the biggest good news for Dortmund fans is that the fat man has returned from injury, after all, Dortmund has lost all the two games that the fat man has missed this season. Now the media and fans have fully realized the importance of fat men to Dortmund.
The fat man was taking care of Caroline during this time, but he was not idle, and he was never absent from 12 hours of systematic training every day. Now the fat man's "croquettes" and "pendulum passes" are becoming more and more proficient, and they have entered the house, and the rest is to slowly carve them. Recently, the fat man has become obsessed with "cycling" again, which is a way that Brazilian players especially like to pass, and aliens also like it.
Pedaling a bicycle refers to the rapid circle of the feet around the ball to make a feint, and the two feet take turns to step around the ball to confuse the opponent to break through. This technique is easy to master and was first used by several players in the Brazilian team. The most proficient use of this technique is Robinho, the "cycling boy". Robinho's technique is extremely delicate, and his skillful "cycling" is one of his signatures.
However, there are still many masters who are proficient in this technology, such as Xiao Luo and Ronaldo, who have reached a very high level in the technology of "cycling". Aliens are very skilled in the use of this technology, but the breakthrough of the appearance of people is often accompanied by speed and impact, so the use of cycling technology is not as gorgeous as Robinho and others, but this is exactly what the fat man needs, because with the physical fitness of the fat man, simple and practical will be what the fat man is pursuing.
On October 15, in the seventh round of the league, Dortmund sat at the Signal Idona Signal Park stadium at home, and the match against Hertha Berlin arrived as scheduled.
Hertha Berlin, the first football club in Berlin in Germany, was founded on July 25, 1892, and was one of the founding members of the German Football Association founded in Leipzig in 1900, and had a shining point in the 30s of the twentieth century, winning the national league championship in 1930 and 1931. He currently competes in the German Bundesliga.
Hertha Berlin is a capital team, but the results are not outstanding. Hertha Berlin was also relegated to the Bundesliga in 2011/12, only to be relegated to the Bundesliga a year later. In recent years, the results have started to improve, and they have become a powerhouse in the Bundesliga. The head coach is Hungarian Dardoy, who plays at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
The match takes place at 7pm local time in Dortmund. Although the match was held at Dortmund's home stadium, many media outlets were not optimistic about Dortmund because Dortmund has had too many injuries recently. However, Dortmund fans are looking forward to the game as the team's young star, the Chinese boy, is about to return from injury.
"Boris, have you seen the pre-match media survey about this match?" Dicker was the first to speak, "It's just two extremes, the media is one-sided and down-to-earth for Dortmund, but Dortmund fans are one-sided for the team to win, two completely opposite views......"
"It's not surprising that the media thinks so because Dortmund has suffered the worst FIFA virus, injuring a number of key players; And Dortmund fans think this because Pang is about to return from injury, and Dortmund has not lost a game with Pang participating, so the views of fans and the media are so opposed...... Rupert explained.
"Pang didn't play in the last game because of injury, but I didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise, and the fans agreed more with him, which is really an unexpected result......," Dicker said with a smile.
"Indeed!" Rupert chimed in, "Not only did the fans identify with Pong, but so did the media, and Kicker magazine sang the praises of Pong and recognized Pong's place at the heart of the team......
"Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no comparison! If Dortmund had won Bayer Leverkusen away, I guess everyone wouldn't have thought so! Dicker sighed.
"Sooner or later, it's still a matter of strength." Rupert analyzed, "Aubameyang's data is similar to last season, and Pong's data is the data of Reus and Mkhitaryan combined last season, purely from the data point of view, with Pang and without Pong, Dortmund is completely two teams......
"Pong's stats are really gorgeous, unbelievable, and I think that's why Kicker Magazine is backing Pong......" Dicker chimed in, "Okay, I've got the starting line-ups for both teams, let's take a look." Borussia Dortmund: Goalkeeper: No. 38 Burki, defenders: No. 30 Paslak, No. 24 Merino, No. 28 Ginter and No. 29 Schmelzer......
”
"There is only one Dortmund captain left in the backline, Schmelzer, one main force with three substitutes, I think this is also the reason why the media looks down on Dortmund!" Rubeutt commented, "Although it has been reported in the media that Bartra has recovered from injury, it seems that Bartra is not yet back to the point where he can play......
'This is Merino's first start at centre-back this season and I hope he performs well!' Dicker continued, "...... Defenders: No. 33 Weigel, midfielders: No. 22 Pulisic, No. 10 Gotze, No. 18 Rod and No. 9 Moore, forwards: No. 17 Aubameyang, coach Tuchel put out a 4141 formation......"
"Pang didn't start, what's going on? Didn't Pang's injuries heal? Rupert was surprised.
"I don't know!" Dicker was also puzzled, "Could it be that Pon, like Baltra, has not recovered to the point where he can compete?" However, Pang made the 18-man squad and ...... in the substitute list"
"Pang was in the squad but didn't make the starting line-up, I really don't know what coach Tuchel thinks......" Rupert was puzzled.
Not only did the two commentators not know why, but the Dortmund fans at the scene were also blindsided, and everyone really couldn't understand why Coach Tuchel arranged it this way.
'What is Coach Tuchel going to do, is he trying to mess up the game? Didn't we learn enough from the last loss? Borussia Dortmund have already lost two league games, both of which Pang did not play, and it should be time for Thomas Tuchel to come to his senses! Some fans said angrily.
"Putting a Chinese boy in the squad and not starting him, what the hell is coach Tuchel doing. Dortmund has already injured a number of main players, and if the Chinese boys can't play again in this game, Dortmund will almost have to attack with a remnant. "Some fans are worried.
"Coach Tuchel is playing with fire, the gap between us and Bayern has widened to four points, if there is any mistake in this game, the consequences are unimaginable, Coach Tuchel is going to play Dortmund to death!" Some fans are very dissatisfied.
“……”
The displeasure of the Dortmund fans led to boos at the Signal Idona Park, with the home fans expressing their displeasure with Coach Tuchel's line-up.
Coach Tuchel frowned when he heard the boos, and he didn't expect the fat man to have such an impact in the hearts of Dortmund fans. However, the personality of the coach Tuchel was unimpressed, and there was a reason why he used the fat man on the bench today. One of the reasons was that the fat man left the team with an injury without saying hello to him, which made Coach Tuchel very unhappy. Although the club later held a meeting to exempt the fat man from punishment, Coach Tuchel was still not very satisfied, feeling that the fat man was too "willful" and did not abide by the team's discipline; The second reason is that the fat man has made an unreasonable request to him to apply for special leave, which Coach Tuchel thinks is outrageous. Coach Tuchel felt that the work and private lives of the players should be separated, and that private life should not be allowed to affect the work of the players, and for these two reasons, Tuchel coached the fat man to sit on the bench.
The game started at seven o'clock in the evening, and after a few minutes of confrontation, Dortmund began to take the lead. Although there were as many as six or seven substitutes in Dortmund's players in this game, the strength was greatly reduced, but at the Signal Park Stadium in Iduna, Dortmund still played very actively in the tsunami cheers of the home fans.
At this moment, the fat man was sitting on the bench with a depressed face, and the team doctor called the fat man back, but the fat man was not very satisfied. Now the fat man finds that he can't start yet, which makes the fat man even more unhappy, and the fat man feels that the stubborn coach Tuchel is really difficult to get along with at times.
"Hey, Pang, how's your girlfriend doing?" Weidenfeller asked.
"Roman, thank you for your concern, but Caroline's condition is not very optimistic, and the doctors have not yet found a cure." The fat man whispered.
"Don't worry too much, Pang, now that science is so advanced, a solution will definitely be found......" Weidenfeller comforted.
The fat man knew that Weidenfeller was comforting himself, and his heart couldn't help but warm, and the fat man's true friend in Dortmund was only Weidenfeller. Although Ginter has a good relationship with the fat man, that guy is very arrogant and doesn't know how to care about people at all.
"Roman, I'm very worried about Caroline ...... right now" The fat man suddenly became a little emotional, and covered his face with his hands, "May God bless Caroline......"
"Man, you have to be strong, everything will be fine......" Weidenfeller patted the fat man on the shoulder.
In fact, the fat man knew that Caroline's condition was not good, because the fat man would call Caroline's father every day to ask about Caroline's condition, but the result was still the same. Although the doctors used different treatment options, they were all maintaining them, and they did not find a real solution.
"Pang, let's talk about the game!" Weidenfeller changed the subject, 'Now that Borussia Dortmund are full of injuries, I can't understand why coach Tuchel won't let you start? ”
"Roman, I don't know." The fat man said helplessly, "Let the team doctor call me back from England, and now he won't let me play, I really don't know what Coach Tuchel thinks, it is better to let me stay in the hospital......"
'Pong, are you at odds with Coach Tuchel again?' Weidenfeller asked.
"No, I've been serious about training since I came back." The fat man replied, "Isn't it...... Was it about me requesting special leave from Coach Tuchel? ”
"Special holiday, what special holiday?" Weidenfeller asked.
'As Caroline needed someone to look after her, I came back and asked Coach Tuchel for special leave. It was in between competitions that I had one or two days to go back to the UK to take care of my girlfriend, and that's it. 'But Coach Tuchel didn't ......agree'
"Pang, your request is indeed a bit ...... A bit excessive! Weidenfeller whispered, "If it's okay to play one game a week, you have time to adjust; It's a double week and your girlfriend is in the UK again, so you don't have time to adjust...... Alas, that's probably why Coach Tuchel won't let you start......"
"Roman, if it weren't for the contract, I would have wanted to strike!" The fat man said angrily.
"Pong, don't do that, you can't joke with your future, and I don't think Miss Caroline, your girlfriend and agent, would want you to do that......" Weidenfeller discouraged.
"Don't worry, man, I'm not going to do that...... 'I just think Coach Tuchel is a bit unkind......
