Chapter 19: Not tacit

On July 14, Dortmund will play a warm-up match against visiting St. Pauli at the training base, which will also be Dortmund's third warm-up match. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Compared to the previous two times, this warm-up match was of a higher level because the opponent was stronger, it was St. Pauli in the Bundesliga.

St. Pauli is a sports club based in Hamburg, Germany, that operates more than a dozen different sports. The club's most important sport is men's football, which is played at the MΓΌllermen Stadium in the St. Pauli district of Hamburg, right next to the cable road. Head coach Andre Schubert.

The commentators for this match are still Norbert Dicker and Boris Rupert, and the two seem excited for today's game.

'It's a good feeling to be back at Bracker's training base and of course it's going to be a big one.' Dicker was the first to speak, "But today's opponent is not so easy to beat!" ”

"Yes, man, although St. Pauli is a Bundesliga team, it is a team that aims to win the first division, and the strength is very good." Rupert chimed in.

"Hey, Boris, tell us what you think of this game!" Dicker said.

"I think it's going to be a close game and it's hard to predict the outcome." Rupert replied, "Although Dortmund is stronger overall, the team has just undergone a major change, and coach Tuchel's transformation of the team has just begun, and at this time against a well-organized St. Pauli, Dortmund's advantage is not obvious, it will be a tough game."

'I feel the same way, after all, the team's central midfield has not been revamped yet. Dicker chimed in, "Then you can guess the starting lineup for this game." ”

'I think Coach Tuchel should field a combination of old and new squads, after all, with this period of training and games, Coach Tuchel should have a clearer understanding of the characteristics of the new players, and the new formation should slowly surface.' Rupert continued.

"Boris, did you say the Chinese boys would start? After all, he completed a surprising senior performance in the last game! Dicker asked with a smile.

"I don't think the Chinese boys will start, the starting line for this game should be a prototype of Dortmund's starting lineup for the new season, and the positioning of the Chinese boys should be Aubameyang's substitute, and he should not appear in the starting lineup." Rupert thought for a moment and replied.

"Man, you guessed it wrong this time, the Chinese boy was in the starting lineup. Here's the starting list, check it out! Dicker put the information in front of him in front of Rupert.

"How is this possible!" Rupert was a little surprised, and quickly picked up the information to check, "Coach Tuchel actually put out a 442 formation, and the Chinese boy and Aubameyang partnered up front, what is going on?" ”

'It seems that the first solution I said earlier was correct, and Coach Tuchel really changed his tactics for the sake of the Chinese boys. Dicker snickered, "Although Aubameyang is not low in stature, he is actually a player who eats by speed, and when he partners with Chinese boys, he is actually a combination of high and fast." ”

"What about the midfield? Is coach Tuchel going to abandon last season's five-midfield configuration? That was Dortmund's winning formula last season! Rupert said excitedly.

"Boris, don't get excited!" Dicker reassured: "I don't think Coach Tuchel is trying to give up the midfield five he used to last season, but to test the power of the Chinese boy and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and once the two have chemistry, Dortmund's tactics will be more diverse in the future." ”

'Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sergio Ramos have tried it before and it's not a good tactical option. Rupert pouted, "In my opinion, the Chinese boy is just a big Ramos." ”

"Man, don't jump to conclusions so early." Dicker advised, "Whether the Chinese boy is suitable for Aubameyang to partner in the forward line will ultimately depend on the competition." ”

"Okay, then let the game do the talking." Rupert gave up arguing, "Whether the Chinese boy should start or be a substitute, I think everyone will have a more objective conclusion after this game." ”

"Okay, the game is about to start, it's time for us to announce the starting line-ups of both teams" Dicker changed the subject, "Dortmund's starting line-up for this game is ...... The Chinese boys and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang partnered up front, with Kagawa, Dembele, Rod and Castro in midfield, Ginter, Bender, Socoradis and Schmelzer in rear, and goalkeeper Weidenfeller ......"

Hearing the comments of the two commentators, the Dortmund fans in front of the TV were not calm again, and began to talk to their friends about the new formation of coach Tuchel.

'Kyle, I guessed it right last time, Coach Tuchel did change his tactics. Formulating the right tactics according to the characteristics of the players in your hands is what a good coach should do. That's what I said! Mark said to his friend Kyle.

"Mark, don't be too happy, the two commentators just said that this is just a test of a new formation, not the final result. I still think that a player with a lot of mobility like Aubameyang is more suitable to go it alone, and there are many helpers around him, which affects his performance. Kyle analyzed.

"Maybe the two of them can have a good chemistry, after all, the strength of two people is much stronger than one person!" Mark said.

"That's hard to say! Let the game tell us," Kyle was unconvinced.

The game was about to start, and the fat man was standing in the middle of the field with his teammates and the St. Pauli players' handguards, when a familiar shout came to his ears.

"Pang Hao, come on!" "Pang Hao, come on!" β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The fat man turned his head to the back of the goal and saw Zhang Yuwei and several Chinese students, who were wearing the fat man's No. 9 jersey and cheering for the fat man, while most of the fans were wearing Aubameyang's No. 17 shirt. 'Brother has to work hard, in the new season, Brother has 100% image rights, Dortmund sells every one of his own jerseys, Brother has a share, this is all money! The fat man muttered to himself.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began. After teeing off, the fat man rushed to the front. Unexpectedly, as soon as he ran to the vicinity of the St. Pauli penalty area, St. Pauli's central defender posted it and pushed the fat man out with his body. The fat man suddenly has the feeling of playing in the Championship last season, although the Bundesliga has fewer teams than the Championship, only 18, but it is still a highly competitive league.

I didn't have time to appreciate it, the fat man had already received Kagawa's pass, and despite the opponent's central defender behind him, the fat man still passed the ball easily to Aubameyang, but there was a mistake. At the moment of the fat man's pass, Aubameyang activated, and the fat man's pass point was a little back, and he could only watch the ball roll past Aubameyang and be picked up by another opponent's central defender.

"Oh, the Chinese boy made a mistake in passing, this is too undeserved, the Chinese boy wasted a good opportunity to attack!" Rupert was a little upset, "The Chinese boy should pass the ball a little bit further forward when he passes the ball to Aubameyang, Aubameyang is the kind of player who starts very quickly. ”

Dicker didn't say anything this time, but he was already silently commenting in his heart. The Chinese boy should be partnering Aubameyang up front for the first time, and he obviously doesn't know much about Aubameyang's characteristics, and it seems that it will be difficult for the two to have good chemistry in this game. ’

The St. Pauli team that broke the ball immediately fought back, the speed was very fast, and a few passes burned the fire to the Dortmund half, St. Pauli striker Nijo shook off Bender's defense is a shot, fortunately, goalkeeper Weidenfeller was in a better position and successfully resolved the shot.

I have to say that St. Pauli's strength is still very good, and some clues can be seen in this counterattack. The tactics are simple and practical, pursuing a lethal one-hit.

Dortmund quickly regrouped their attack and soon the ball was back in the St. Pauli half. Dembele found Aubameyang up front with a straight shot, but before he could turn around, he was caught by the opposition defender, and Aubameyang immediately passed the ball to the fat man. However, the pass was relatively high, and the fat man received the ball on the spot, and the ball was cut off by the opponent again.

"Oh, what are the Chinese boys doing again! He should run this catch, instead of waiting, he should move, move......" Rupert started squirting fat again, "The Chinese boy and Aubameyang don't have any tacit understanding at all, they are not on the same channel at all......"

A wry smile appeared on Dicker's face as something he feared had happened. Because both the Chinese boys and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang see each other as players like themselves, which leads to problems with their passing. When the Chinese boy passes the ball to Aubameyang, he should be more forward and let Aubameyang pick up the speed; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should play a little further back when he passes the ball to the Chinese boys, because the Chinese boys have to play his pivot role.

"Mark, see no, the Chinese boy has already made two mistakes. He partnered with Aubameyang, and instead of helping, he dragged Aubameyang back. Kyle said excitedly as he watched the TV.

"After all, it is the first time for the two to cooperate, and this kind of mistake is normal." Mark was not convinced.

"I have a hunch that Rupert the narrator is right." Kyle continued, "The Chinese boy and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are not on the same channel at all, they are not going to have a tacit understanding. ”

"Hmph, Kyle, don't talk too soon, anything is possible!" Mark retorted.

The fat man's two passing and receiving mistakes really made the Dortmund fans in front of the TV sweat for the fat man. After the fat man's last big game, many Dortmund fans were expecting the fat man to break out again, but these two mistakes hit the new supporters of the fat man in front of the TV at once.

The fat man also understood this after two passing and receiving errors, knowing that Aubameyang is a sports player and needs to give Aubameyang space to speed up when passing. However, this is the first time that the fat man has teamed up with Aubameyang, so such mistakes are inevitable.

In the next game, the fat man was much better when he passed the ball to Aubameyang, but it was still not very good. The fat man's passing habit is not something he wants to change, but he can be changed immediately, especially since Aubameyang has been running in the front court, making the fat man's passing more difficult. After that, the fat man passed a few more balls to Aubameyang, but the position was not the best, either too far forward or a little behind, although Aubameyang got the ball, he needed to adjust it every time, and this adjustment missed the opportunity to shoot.

Fifteen minutes into the game, Dortmund did not score despite reaching the 30-metre zone of the St. Pauli half. On the contrary, St. Pauli's counterattack was very sharp, and if it hadn't been for Bender's several times of giving up his life to block the eye, St. Pauli might have scored. Borussia Dortmund's biggest problem is up front, with the combination of Fat Man and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

"It's time for the Chinese boy to practice passing, and although his passing is accurate, it's obviously not suitable for the front line." Rupert began to bombard the fat man again, "Passing the ball in the front line, the Chinese boy's passing should be more forward-looking, more creative......"

Dicker didn't expect that he had a small stimulus at the beginning that would make his friend so angry. And the Chinese boy became the one who had the misfortune to lie down on the gun.

Some Dortmund fans on the sidelines have begun to boo, apparently unhappy with the team's attack. After hearing Rupert's explanation, they even blamed the fat man. After that, every time the fat man took the ball, they booed, although the sound was not loud, but the players on the field heard it clearly.

"Mark, do you see that? The Chinese boy's passing is still subpar, and he really isn't the right partner for Aubameyang. Kyle began to speak again.

"These passes were originally Royce's job, and now it's hard for Chinese boys to do it! The Chinese boy should be at the front, and shooting is what he should do. Mark was not convinced.

"Wow, some of the Dortmund fans who watched the game have started to boo the Chinese boys, which is not a good thing, and I think it would be more appropriate for the Chinese boys to be a substitute for Aubameyang. Mark, you should recognize the reality, your previous thinking was wrong. Kyle was happy.

With the fat man's passing in succession, the supporters of the fat man in front of the TV were a little disheartened. In their opinion, if the Chinese boy can't adapt to his current position, then he will have to go to Aubameyang as a substitute.

The fat man also knows that this kind of just right pass on the front line is not so easy to master, especially when Dortmund plays this kind of fast pass cut in the front court, so that the fat man can find this passing line in an instant, and control the strength and angle, it is too difficult for the fat man. Originally, on the court, the pass between players is a pass between the front line players, and the error rate is the highest. Because every success represents a single goal, an assist, a goal.

Twenty minutes into the game, the fat man moved to the middle to switch positions with Aubameyang. At this time, Schmelzer in the backfield suddenly came with a long pass, and the fat man judged the landing point and ran over, ready to ferry the header to Aubameyang. Unexpectedly, Aubameyang also jumped up to fight for the header, but the fat man and Aubameyang collided together and lost the ball again.

"Oh my God, what is the Chinese boy doing, he actually collided with Aubameyang, it's amazing." Rupert was angry again, "Where is Aubameyang's activity area, the Chinese boys are too messy!" ”

"I think the Chinese boys want to do a cross-position with Aubameyang, which is a regular tactic for the strikers." Dicker, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "This kind of cross-change is very important, it is easy to disrupt the opponent's backline. ”

Seeing that his friend took the initiative to excuse the Chinese boy, Rupert knew that he had gone a little too far just now. However, he has no intention of changing because he knows that if the Chinese boy continues to perform like this in the first half, sooner or later he will be replaced by coach Tuchel, and then he will be able to make a big splash.
