Chapter 58: Dicker's Approval
In the dugout, Thomas Tuchel was also concerned about Götze's performance. Coach Tuchel bought Gotze in place of Gundogan, who left the club, www.biquge.info the Fun Cabinet, but at the moment, Gotze and Tuchel have expectations far from what they wanted.
Götze has been in ruin at Bayern for too long, not only technically, but also physically and confidently. Götze's technique has always been good, but he didn't go further technically when he played under Pep Guardiola, which made him not reused by Guardiola; The long period of substitutions and injuries has left Gotze seriously lacking in physical reserves, as evidenced by Gotze's slightly heavy legs on the pitch; With playing time not guaranteed, Gotze has scored only a handful of goals and assists in recent seasons, which has also led to a lack of self-confidence when it comes to attacking and passing. The only advantage left for Gotze now is his age, Gotze is only twenty-four years old, and he still has time to start over, as for whether he can return to the top, it depends on whether Gotze has this determination.
Despite Gotze's poor performances, Tuchel has no intention of replacing him. Borussia Dortmund bought Gotze back for 26 million euros, but he didn't let Gotze be a substitute. Tuchel is planning to give Gotze plenty of playing time to adjust to his form.
Seventy-five minutes into the game, Thomas Tuchel made another substitution. Borussia Dortmund's back four of Schmelzer, Bartra, Sokoradis and Paslak were all replaced, replaced by Merino, Guerrero, Piszczek and Brinic, with Thomas Tuchel completing the full 11-man rotation.
On the pitch, the game continued, and the Dortmund attack after the substitution still did not improve much, and the crux of the problem was still Gotze. Gotze's poor organization led to Dortmund's lack of attacking options up front, and the attack was frequently blocked. Sunderland took advantage of the situation and began to take advantage of it, and they launched an onslaught around Dortmund.
Seventy minutes into the game, Sunderland, under the onslaught, had a chance. Midfielder Haritz dribbled the ball and Sunderland striker Watmore was able to score a one-on-one goal. However, Watmore didn't have time to shoot before the old goalkeeper Weidenfeller had rushed over and it was a tackle. Watermore dodged and fell into the box, the ball went off the line, and the referee signaled no foul and did not award a penalty.
"Oh, it's a dangerous shot, and Weidenfeller's strike is timely." Dicker commented: "The opponent's through ball was very penetrating and our players didn't step forward to interfere. ”
'It was Haritz from Sunderland and he was played against Dortmund's number 10 Gotze. Rupert pouted, "Gotze didn't play well not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end......
The fat man can't bear to watch Gotze's clumsy performance anymore, and now Gotze is no longer the wind-chasing boy who beat Argentina in the 14 World Cup, and now his aura is almost exhausted, and he is becoming more and more ordinary.
If Gotze wants to get back to the top, he has to train intensively and make up for what he has lost over the years, but now that this guy has a girlfriend he can't leave with, can he put all his mind back on training and competing? The fat man was not sure.
The east is not bright, the west is bright, Gotze is not doing well, Schurrle is doing well. Seeing that Gotze was not in good shape, Schurrle took the initiative to take on part of the team's organizational work. In the 80th minute of the game, Schurrle took the ball and sent a through ball in front of the penalty area, and Moore suddenly stepped forward to get a single chance. Facing the attacking Sunderland goalkeeper Mannone Moore did not choose to shoot, but shook off his opponent and pushed in the face of a half-empty goal. Unfortunately, the ball was blocked by the retreating Sunderland centre-back Kaboul and Dortmund missed a very good chance to extend the score.
"It's a shame that the goal is too small!" Dicker commented, "Moore should be more decisive when shooting, sometimes a strong shot is a very good option, and simple and rough can sometimes be more efficient. ”
Seeing that Moore's shot didn't go in, Rupert was very disappointed. In this game, Rupert has been hoping that a player can step up and help Dortmund expand the score and take away some of the limelight from the Chinese boys. In the first half, Rupert was expecting Dembele, but unfortunately Dembele only provided three assists and did not score; In the second half, Rupert was expecting Moore, but unfortunately Moore wasted Dortmund's best scoring opportunity in the second half, which made Rupert very anxious.
'Why is it so easy for Chinese boys to score goals, but so difficult for Dembele and Moore?' Could it be that the difference in shooting strength between the three of them is really so big? Rupert couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that the second half of the game was about to end, Dicker suddenly remembered what Rupert had said before the start of the game. Rupert had the assertion that "the team sent substitutes in the first half, and the main force in the second half" before the start of the game, and Dicker did not intend to let go of this opportunity to tease him.
'Boris, I remember you said when you got the starting line-up that Coach Tuchel had a substitute in the first half and a main in the second half, do you still think so? Dicker quipped.
"I ...... I still think so! Rupert chose to keep his mouth shut.
"So how do you explain the difference between the two halves?" Dicker continued.
'I think the reason for this is that in the first half there was one player in the team who was very good and in the second half there was one player who was very poor. Rupert defended, "The best player in the first half was the Chinese boys, who led the team's attack, and the worst player in the second half was Gotze, who affected the other players. ”
Rupert's simple and straightforward words, although they countered Dikel's ridicule, also made the Dortmund fans waiting in front of the TV very uncomfortable, although the fans knew that Rupert was right, but they were a little unacceptable in their hearts.
'Rupert is such a big mouth, he shouldn't have said that about Götze, Götze is a talented player who went out with Borussia Dortmund and now that he's back, we should give Götze more time.' Some fans complained.
'Rupert went too far, he praised Pang for no problem, but he shouldn't have said that about Gotze, Gotze will definitely be back at the top at Dortmund.' Some fans were angry.
"Even though Rupert is telling the truth, I still feel uncomfortable and after Reuss is injured, the German player that Dortmund is most anticipated is Gotze." Some fans confided in their hearts.
"I like Pang very much, but I also like Gotze, and I hope Gotze can play as well as Pang." There are fans praying.
In fact, Gotze's return is a big deal for Dortmund fans. Dortmund is a Bundesliga team after all, and German fans are actually most concerned about the performance of the German players in the team. After the rich coach Reus retired from injury, Hummels also transferred away, Dortmund club urgently needs to establish a new idol to attract the attention of Dortmund fans, and this idol is Götze, so even if Götze is not satisfactory in Bayern, after Götze returns to Dortmund, both Dortmund club and the surrounding media have given Götze great support, hoping that he can find his form as soon as possible in Dortmund.
Compared with Götze, the fat man is much worse in terms of treatment, not only is the media not optimistic, but the fans are not supportive. If it weren't for the fat man's outstanding performance, the fat man estimated that he would have been pressed to the bench before the start of the season. The reason is that the fat man is an outsider, not a player cultivated by Borussia Dortmund.
On the sidelines of the pitch, the fourth official had already raised the sign for three minutes of stoppage time, and the game was about to end. Sunderland were seizing the final minutes to attack, and they had clearly more chances in the second half than they did in the first, and they might have equalised if it weren't for their poor ability to take advantage of them.
Sunderland manager David Moyes looked at Coach Tuchel with envy, envious of Borussia Dortmund's presence as a fat striker. Moyes is very aware of the header strength of his disciples Koné and Kabul, Koné pulled a goal back for Sunderland with a header in the second half has shown that his header is good, but it is such a player with such a good header, but when defending Dortmund Nine, let the opponent complete a hat trick of headers, which shows how strong the opponent's header strength is, although these three headers have a certain element of luck, but it is also a very, very remarkable result. Moyes even has the idea of buying the fat man, because every center forward has strong strategic value. Lukaku, Ibrahimovic and Cavani are not the absolute core of the team, which shows the great value of a good center forward.
However, there are difficult scriptures to read, with David Moyes envious of Borussia Dortmund having a good senior striker, while coach Thomas Tuchel is concerned about the performance of four new players. In this game, Gotze, Schurrle, Weigl and Guerero, who have recently returned to the team, were all on the pitch in the second half, but the performances were very different. Weigel played the best, and he was very good in the midfield position; Schurrle also played well, and almost handed out an assist; Guerrero is mediocre and needs to get familiar with his team-mates at the back as soon as possible; Gotze's performance was a little out of order, his body was a little heavy, and his performance on the field was even more of a mess.
Götze has to be trained more rigorously and systematically, otherwise it will be doubtful whether he will be able to play in the German Super Cup. Coach Tuchel thought silently.
Stoppage time soon followed, and Dortmund won 3-1 against Sunderland to keep the warm-up game on top.
Although the team won, the two commentators were not particularly happy and looked preoccupied.
'It was a good game and both teams played a good half each. Borussia Dortmund's attack was still sharp, but our defence was always problematic. Dicker said seriously, "Pang showed his amazing header skills in this game, and I think every fan who has seen him score with three headers will agree with that." For a long time, Pang has been widely criticized by the German media and fans for his high transfer fee, and everyone does not recognize his strength and feels that Pang is an overrated player. Here I call on everyone to get to know Pang again, he is really a very talented, very strong player, he has won my recognition with one goal after another, and I hope he can be recognized by everyone as well. Pang really needs everyone's support because he is the future ...... of Dortmund"
Seeing his friend Dicker directly promoting the Chinese boys at the end of the game, Rupert was speechless. Rupert knows the place of Dicker in the hearts and minds of Dortmund fans, the Dortmund legend has spent most of his career in Dortmund, and like the current sporting director Zolke, he is a well-known and influential player for the majority of Dortmund fans. Rupert can imagine that after such a promotion by Dicker, the Chinese boy will be recognized by more Dortmund fans.
Rupert knew he couldn't spray Chinese boys anymore, because at this point, he couldn't openly disagree with his friend Dicker. However, he still had a chance to vent his anger, and this time the target became Gotze, a player he had always hated very much, and his performance today was so bad that Rupert felt sorry for his "big mouth" title without spraying him.
'It was a good game and a game with a lot of content, we had players who played really well and we had players who played really badly. There were players who scored incredible hat-tricks of headers in this game, there were players who scored very rare hat-tricks of assists in this game, and there were players who scored hat-tricks of mistakes in this game, and I was really surprised by the difference in their performances. I hope that the players who played badly, especially the players who scored a hat-trick, can focus more on football in the future, because football doesn't lie, and you get as much as you give......"
Dicker did not refute Rupert's insinuation of Götze, because he felt that Rupert was not wrong, and Götze received great attention from Dortmund fans in the new season, and accordingly, Götze will be under more pressure. In addition, he knows that Rupert is originally a "big mouth", a jealous and hateful person, a person who always puts Dortmund's interests first, which is why fans like to listen to his commentary.
After the game, the fat man followed the team back to the hotel. The plan is for them to spend the night in Sunderland and then fly to the Spanish city of Bilbao early tomorrow morning, where they will train for a day before playing a warm-up match against Athletic Bilbao before returning to the Borussia Dortmund Brackel training base to prepare for the German Super Cup against Bayern Munich.
However, the fat man had a very troubled night because reporters kept calling the fat man to ask about the game. (To be continued.) )
