Early the next morning, the fat man went to the Braquel training base. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 It wasn't until noon that Caroline woke up from her bed, and after packing up, Caroline left the fat man's apartment and went to the airport, where she was flying back to the UK today to continue the transfer of her clients. Although none of these clients are big-name players like Fat Man, Caroline, as their agent, still has to try her best to find the right team for them.

After coming to the training base, the fat man found that his teammates gathered together and whispered, it turned out that last night the German team lost 0-2 to the French team in the semi-finals of the 2016 European Championship at the Velodrome Stadium in Marseille, France, allowing the opponent to reach the European Championship final again after 16 years.

Losing was bitter, and the fat man found that the German players in the team were not in high spirits. However, a few words of encouragement from the arrival of the head coach Tuchel lifted everyone's emotions back into action as they play a warm-up game against Elkenschvik at 7pm.

Germany's exit from the European Championship means that Borussia Dortmund's internationals can also return to the club. Before the start of the European Championship, Dortmund had two internationals, namely Weigel and Hummels, and after the European Championship, there was only one German international, because Hummel had already moved to Bayern Munich. However, Weigel will not report to the team immediately, with manager Thomas Tuchel giving Weigel a nearly week's holiday.

Today's training is much the same as the previous training, after all, the team is not organized, and there are many new players, the run-in is the first thing, and there are warm-up games to play in the evening, so the amount of training is very small. After a few days of training, the fat man is getting better and better, because the fat man has never left football this holiday, and he goes to Dongdan Stadium to train every afternoon in China, so that the fat man has always maintained a good sense of the ball.

After lunch, the team got up and headed for Erkenschvik, which is only about 30 kilometers away from each other because the city of Erkenschvik is also located in the state of North Rhinewester. It took only half an hour for the team to arrive at the Stimberg Stadium in Erkenschvijk. It is a small football stadium with a capacity of more than 14,000 people and is also the home of the Erkenschvik team.

Erkenschvik is a team that competes in the German West Division. The fat man asked the old goalkeeper Weidenfeller to find out what level of competition the German West League is. To put it simply, German football is divided into four levels, namely the Bundesliga, the Bundesliga, the Bundesliga, the Bundesliga, and the German regional league. The German regional leagues are further divided into Germany West, Germany North and Germany South. In other words, Dortmund's opponent in the evening will be a team in the fourth division of Germany.

When the fat man heard that his opponent was so weak, he suddenly felt a little excited. But when I think about it, I immediately understand what manager Tuchel is intending to. The team has just undergone a major change, and it is normal to find a weaker opponent, the main purpose of the team is to inspect the players, run in the lineup, win or lose the game, it doesn't matter at all.

Shortly after arriving in Erkenschvik, the team entered the Stimberg Stadium for pre-match training. The fat man has to sigh at the professionalism of German football, such a small club participating in the fourth division of the German league has such a professional football field, and the pyramid construction of the German football league is indeed perfect. After an hour of on-field training, the team went back to the locker room to rest.

At six o'clock in the evening, when the fat man and his teammates came to the Stimberg stadium again, it was already full of spectators, and it was very lively. For Erkenschvik fans, today is a rare feast, after all, the team they support is playing in the fourth division of the German league, and the gap between Dortmund is too big, it is completely a sky, an underground, if the two teams are not very close, the team they support is difficult to have a chance to compete with the powerful Dortmund. The fat man saw that many fans at the scene were wearing Dortmund jerseys, and it seems that in the city of Erkenschvik, Dortmund has no shortage of supporters.

Tonight's commentators are Norbert Dicker and Boris Rupert, well-known live commentators for the Temund club, both of whom played for Borussia Dortmund as players. Dicker is a legend of Borussia Dortmund and was responsible for Dortmund's victory in the German FA Cup in 1989. The duo's commentary has always been known for its sharpness, and although they have been warned and fined by the German Football Association many times, the two have rarely changed, and it is the huge Dortmund fans who support the two to secure their position. Dortmund belongs to the Ruhr area, which is the cradle of German industry, there are many industrial workers, and most of Dortmund's fans are also these industrial workers, and they generally do not have a high level of education, so they like the rough way of commentary of the two commentators, because they listen more intimately.

With 10 points to go, the two commentators are preparing to introduce the starting line-ups of both teams and warm up the Dortmund fans in front of the TV.

"Boris, Dortmund's new season warm-up match is about to start, it's really exciting!" Dicker sighed.

"That's right! Before the start of the new season, Dortmund has left a lot of players and ushered in a lot of players, so the pre-season warm-up match is very crucial and very important for the team to run in the new lineup! Rupert chimed in.

'Man, what do you think Coach Tuchel will be in the starting line-up today?' Dicker asked.

'Today's opponents are weak, I guess manager Thomas Tuchel will put new players in the team, Dortmund has changed a lot this season, especially in the midfield, we have gone three absolute mainstays, Reus also suffered a serious injury for the 2016 season, which has a big impact on the quality of the team. The team must make the most of these warm-up games and integrate the newcomers into the team as soon as possible. Boris analyzed.

"You said 30 million euros, will you play?" Dicker asked with a smile.

"The Chinese boy will definitely play, and the club didn't buy him to keep the water cooler!" Boris said with a smile.

The unlucky fat man was ridiculed by the two commentators before he appeared. Who has made the fat man the focus of the German football media recently, and the name of the fat man in the German Internet search is also among the top three, so it can be said that German fans are waiting to see the fat man joke. Germany's most failed and unreliable signing this season, fans are waiting for this to become a reality.

"Dortmund has a lot of players guarding the water cooler, isn't it too extravagant to let Mr. 30 million euros go to the water cooler!" Dicker is clearly excusing the fat man, but in fact he is still belittling the fat man, "In the warm-up game before the new season, I believe that coach Tuchel will give the Chinese boy enough opportunities to play, and he will have enough time to prove that he is not a water cooler player. ”

Haha, the two then laughed tacitly. The Dortmund fans in front of the TV were also happy to hear the two commentators say this about the fat man.

"Chinese boy, it's finally time for you to show your original form, whether you are a genius or a parallel import, you will know after the game starts." A team mutters to himself on the TV.

"Zolke and Watzke are two stupid guys, and they must have got their heads in water to be so stupid to sign a player who plays in the British's second division. The two commentators didn't dare to say that, but I'm not afraid! A veteran Dortmund fan yelled into the TV.

Although it was just an ordinary warm-up match, it attracted a large number of Dortmund fans to sit in front of the TV and watch, not the score of the game, nor the victory or defeat, but the performance of the team of Mr. 30 million euros, and they wanted to confirm that Bild and Kicker magazine, which of the media was right about the fat man.

"Norbert, I'm more concerned about Dembele's performance than the Chinese boys. At just 18 years old, he was already a regular in Rennes and helped them finish eighth and almost finish in Europe. Rupert said eloquently, "Rennes is a Ligue 1 team, not a team like Myburgh that plays in the second division. ”

"Boris, you're right, there is no gap without comparison." Dicker echoed, "The two are of the same grade, but Dembele, who plays in Ligue 1, is only half as valuable as a Chinese boy who plays in the Championship, which is not normal in itself." I have to say, it's not a good deal. ”

"That's right, the Chinese boy is worth 10 million euros in Transfermarkt! I think that's what he's really worth, not the 30 million euros he is now. Rupert echoed, "I have to say that the club signed the Chinese boy because it fancied the Chinese market behind him!" ”

The two sang and harmonized the commentary, although they were complaining about the fat man on the surface, but secretly even Dortmund sports director Zorke and CEO Watzke were sarcastic. Although they were talking about the contents of the newspaper, it still made the sports director Zolke angry. At this time, Zolke was watching the game on TV with CEO Watzke, and they also wanted to know how strong the fat man was.

"These two idiots, just know how to cater to the fans!" Zolke was furious, "Without investigation, there is no right to speak, and the two of them are too unprofessional to deserve to be warned and punished by the German Football Association!" ”

"Zolke, don't be angry, you have to believe our vision!" Watzke calmly persuaded him, and then asked Zorge to look at the data on the computer, "Look at the ratings of Dortmund fan TV and Internet radio now, it has caught up with the official game." Although the two commentators are a little unreliable, they have raised the ratings, this is all money, you can bear with it first. ”

"Dortmund's starting lineup is ......" Feeling that the fat man was almost ridiculed, Boris began to broadcast the starting lineup, "...... Among them, the Chinese boy and Ramos are partnered up front, Dembele plays as a right midfielder, Kagawa, Merino and Rod are also in midfield, and Ginter is at the back...... Goalkeeper Weidenfeller ......"

At seven o'clock in the evening, the game officially began. After kick-off, the fat man was at the front, because before the game, manager Thomas Tuchel arranged for the fat man to be a central striker. In the first five minutes, the fat man did not touch the ball because his teammates had not passed the ball to the fat man. Borussia Dortmund's midfield went wrong. Kagawa, Dembele, Merino and Rhodes are all strong in their individual abilities, but in the face of the scramble of the midfield players in the Erkenschvik team, they made continuous mistakes and couldn't cooperate, let alone attack quickly, the fat man stood alone in the front court without any support from his teammates, and the team's only bright spot was Dembele's breakthrough, but in the face of the opponent's defense of two or three people, Dembele's breakthrough also ended in failure.

"What are the Chinese boys doing?" Boris was the first to criticize the fat man, "He stood in front like a wooden man, the game started with five minutes, he didn't touch the ball yet, he didn't help the team in any way......"

'The best performer in the team at the moment is Dembele, who has caused a lot of problems for the opposition defence. Dicker commented, "If he could have gotten more support from his team-mates, maybe he would have scored!" ”

In the dugout, head coach Thomas Tuchel stood on the sidelines with a serious expression and kept shouting at the players on the pitch. There was a problem in the team's midfield, because there were three newcomers in the midfield, it was a bit difficult to rely on Kagawa alone, especially when Kagawa was taken care of by the opponent, and the midfielder's quick pass cut could not be played. The team's slow passing will naturally attract the opponent's desperate scramble, and the Dortmund midfielder has to play a game of stealing the ball with the opponent in the midfield. Dembele's breakthrough was good, but it was an inopportune time, because Dortmund's survival weapon was fast passing, and constant individual breakthroughs would only destroy the formation of the pass as soon as possible.

While Thomas Tuchel has been tweaking his midfield with shouting, the fat man knows he has to do something about it at this point. When the team's midfield did not form a fighting force, the fat man decided to retreat to the midfield to help his teammates in tandem. When the fat man was in the Myburgh team, he often did this, and whenever the team's midfield was poorly organized, the fat man would also take the initiative to retreat to help the midfielder.

The fat man took the initiative to retreat, which immediately relieved Kagawa of a lot of pressure. This game attracted the attention of opponents due to Kagawa being the absolute core of the midfield. He was thin and faced with the opponent's tough defense, and he had a lot of trouble organizing the attack. Fortunately, the fat man took the initiative to retreat to respond, giving him an extra passing line. After the fat man got the ball, he was not in a hurry to attack, but chose to return and cross his teammates, ready to play the cooperation first.

"What are Chinese boys doing? He actually went back to midfield to get the ball, did he forget his duty? He's a striker! Boris is criticizing the fat man again, "Dortmund's midfielder can control the situation, and he doesn't need to retreat so deeply!" ”

'Yes, even though we've gone a lot in midfield, we haven't lost our traditions. Dicker chimed in: "We still have Kagawa in midfield, and manager Thomas Tuchel is also in full command, and soon our midfield will be back to its old style......

It has to be said that once a person has formed a deep-rooted impression of something, it is difficult to change it. Just like the current Dicker and Rupert, the two have formed a view of the fat man in the multi-day bombardment of the media, and if you want to change, unless the fat man has a shocking performance, it is difficult to reverse the two people's views on the fat man in a short time.

Fat Man's voluntary pullback has caught the eye of manager Thomas Tuchel, and although he has gone against his pre-match arrangement, it is indeed the right choice in the current situation. After the fat man took the initiative to retreat, the Dortmund midfield became five, which was more conducive to the formation of passing and cutting.

With the help of the fat man, Dortmund's midfielder finally stabilized the situation and began to put pressure on the opponent frequently. Especially the fat man and Kagawa, they repeatedly played wonderful cooperation, and soon other teammates joined in and gradually played the pass cut. Although there is still a big gap with last season's midfield, at least the shape is there, and what is missing is only God. (To be continued.) )
