Chapter Seventy-Five: Substitutes After Injury
Seeing that Rupert did not continue on the issue of Chinese boys, Dicker nodded slightly at him, agreeing with his approach. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause to continue to talk about when the Chinese boy will leave Dortmund does not make any sense, it will only add some sadness.
The two commentators understand that they are only raising this issue today to give fans a preventive shot in advance, and also to remind Dortmund Club that if they don't pay attention to Chinese boys, they are likely to lose the European golden boy next season.
There are eighteen teams in the Bundesliga, with a total of 34 rounds to play, and eight games have been played so far. At present, Bayern has 6 wins and 2 draws and 20 points, ranking first in the league; The second place in the league is promoted RB Malépzig, with 5 wins, 3 draws and 18 points, and Dortmund is currently third in the league with 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, with 16 points.
First of all, there is the problem of defense, compared with last season, Dortmund's defensive ability has declined, although the new players, Baltra, Merino and Guerrero are all players in the backline, but they still can't make up for the vacancy left by Hummels, the most intuitive embodiment is that Dortmund conceded 4 more goals in the first eight rounds last season, an average of 0.5 more per game.
The second is the attacking problem, and to the comfort of the fans, Dortmund's attacking ability and ability have not decreased compared to last season, but a new problem has emerged, that is, the goal is too concentrated. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the Chinese boys have accounted for almost 80 per cent of the team's goals this season, which is a very serious problem that has made Thomas Tuchel's famous multi-point attacking tactics lose their original power.
The last problem is the most serious, and that is that coach Tuchel is losing control of the dressing room. The trigger for this incident is Coach Tuchel's disapproval of Schmelzer as the new captain, and the use of Tuchel's coaches is becoming more and more incomprehensible, last season's veterans Kagawa and Shaheen have played few games in this game, while Dembele has repeatedly played with injuries, and the most incomprehensible thing is that Coach Tuchel brought the conflict with sporting director Zorc to work, and did not agree with the new European golden boy.
Bild pointed out that if Dortmund can't solve the above three problems well in the next game, Dortmund will not only not surpass last season's results this season, but also may have a big decline in results, because each of the above three problems is fatal.
Tuchel was unimpressed by Bild's comments, but had to admit that Bild's three questions were very pertinent.
Tuchel was frustrated by the team's backline. After Hummels made his transfer request, Tuchel coach suggested that the club buy a player of Hummels' calibre, but his suggestion was not accepted by the club. The club eventually bought three young players, including Bartra, Merino and Guerrero, and although they had a lot of potential, the Tuchel coach had to pay for them, which was also very expensive, with Dortmund conceding 0.5 more goals per game than last season.
Coach Tuchel bears some responsibility for his team's attacking problems, as his buyouts of Gotze and Schurrle have failed to live up to expectations. Schurrle has been injured, and attendance is difficult to guarantee, while Gotze has been slow to get into the form, and the two players have spent nearly 70 million euros on Dortmund FC, but they have not played at the expected level, which has also made Dortmund FC have a lot of criticism about Tuchel coach; The biggest conflict between coach Tuchel and the management of Dortmund Club comes from the fat man, and Coach Tuchel's lack of reuse of fat man makes the Dortmund club management very annoyed.
Finally, coach Tuchel needs to take full responsibility. First of all, Coach Tuchel misjudged the situation, he pressed on Reuss, but Reus's injury prevented him from supporting Tuchel on the pitch and in the dressing room, and the diligent new captain Schmelzer could not be trusted by him, which made the Dortmund club hierarchy very unhappy; The crackdown on the fat man and the reuse of young players such as Dembele, Moore and Christian Pulisic have made some of the older players in the squad complain, and in general, Tuchel has had problems with straightening out all aspects of the squad this season.
Although Coach Tuchel has had some conflicts with the Dortmund hierarchy and the players this season, due to the team's current good results, the Dortmund hierarchy have no intention of sacking Coach Tuchel, and they would prefer that Coach Tuchel can make changes and gradually straighten out all aspects of the relationship.
As if accepting Bild's judgment, Thomas Tuchel did make some changes to the game, with veteran No.8 Shaheen returning to the starting line-up.
"Wow, man, guess who I saw in the starting lineup?" Dicker suddenly screamed.
"Who?"
"Shahin, number 8, this should be his first appearance for Borussia Dortmund this season and his first start......," Dikel said excitedly.
'That's true, the last time I saw him in a game was against Sandhausen in the warm-up game......,' Rupert pondered, 'I thought Tuchel had forgotten about Shaheen, but I didn't expect him to do......
Hearing Rupert say this, the excitement on Dicker's face also disappeared. yes, what's there to be excited about, a veteran who has made a name for himself and only gets his first chance to play after a quarter of the league has passed, what's there to be excited about. For a moment, Dicker suddenly felt that Coach Tuchel was a bit cruel in his treatment of Shahin.
"Hopefully this is a good start for Shahin, who made a name for himself at Borussia Dortmund and also joined Real Madrid, his quality is undoubted, and hopefully Shaheen can get more opportunities in ......the future," Dicker commented.
"It's hard to say how good a player is, he hasn't played for so long...... Rupert said coldly.
Seeing Rupert complaining to Coach Tuchel again, Dicker quickly changed the subject.
"Well, let's see if there are any new players in this game...... Dicker continued, "Oh, another one, Larsson, No. 34 Larsson, a player from Borussia Dortmund's youth team, actually started this time, this is his first time playing for Borussia Dortmund......
'I have to say that Coach Tuchel is still very ......bold in terms of using young people,' commented Rubewt, 'Larsson has helped Borussia Dortmund win the Under-17 and Under-19 titles, his talent is very good, congratulations, having the first opportunity to play for Dortmund's first team, it has been very helpful for his development......
After talking about these two newcomers, Dicker was ready to talk about the new European golden boy, but he suddenly found that there was no European golden boy in the starting list, which made him very surprised and very uneasy, he didn't know what kind of medicine Tuchel coach was selling in this gourd, Dicker's anxious head was sweating.
"Man, what's wrong with you, why don't you keep announcing the starting lineup, it's about to start......" Rupert reminded.
"Pang wasn't in the starting line-up......" Dicker whispered, barely audible.
"What?" Rupert didn't hear clearly, "Man, are you not feeling well?" ”
'I said the new European golden boy was not in the starting line-up and he was put on the bench by coach Tuchel...... ' Dicker said through gritted teeth.
"Man, what did you say? How is this possible? Rupert exclaimed.
Seeing Rupert react so violently, Dicker hurriedly turned off the headsets of the two, because he was afraid that Rupert would say something shocking again.
'Rupert, something happened, Coach Tuchel didn't start Ponne...... 'Dicker whispered.
"What the hell, my God, what the hell is he trying to do......" Rupert was furious.
"Is it because Pang's leg injury hasn't healed yet?" Dicker analyzed.
"Impossible, the team doctor said that there is no problem with Pang's leg injury." Rupert retorted.
"What's the reason for that?" Dikel was anxious, "So many Dortmund fans came to see the new European golden boy, but coach Tuchel put the European golden boy on the bench......
"The reason is obvious, Coach Tuchel is venting his frustration with Poon...... Rupert affirmed, "The European Golden Boy Award, Dortmund did not inform Coach Tuchel to go, and Pang's acceptance speech, there was no mention of Coach Tuchel, these are all reasons, Coach Tuchel is using reasonable means to punish Pong......
"Boris, are you saying that Coach Tuchel will keep Pang out of the game on the pretext of protecting Poon's body?" Dicker asked.
'Yes, he did that in the last game against Hertha Berlin. On the pretext of protecting Pong's body, he put Pang on the bench, and when the team was in trouble, he had to send Pang on the court, and this time he played the same trick again...... "Rupert was angry.
"Man, is that really the case? Maybe coach Tuchel is really trying to protect Poon? Dicker wondered.
'If Coach Tuchel really wanted to protect Pom, he shouldn't have put Pang in the 18-man squad, he shouldn't have put Pang on the ......bench,' Rupert retorted, 'Baltra has also recovered from injury, but Coach Tuchel was in the purpose of protecting him and didn't let him in the 18-man squad at all, and the very different attitude of Coach Tuchel towards Pang and Balt is telling......
"Boris, I think you're taking things too seriously." Dicker hesitated, "Pang has been injured in the last month, if I were the coach I would do the same, put Pang on the bench, if the game is not difficult, not let Pang play......"
'That's what coach Tuchel is smart at, and he's playing with Pon's injury.' Rupert defended: 'I bet Coach Tuchel wouldn't have sent Poon on in the first place if the team had a hard time in this game, and he would have let Pang play only when there was really nothing he could ......
"Man, how is this possible?" Dicker still didn't believe it.
'The defeat to RB Leipzig, the defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, including Piningorstadt, coach Tuchel did not learn his lesson, he has been stubbornly using last season's tactics, and he has never recognised the huge role that Pang has for the team. Rupert continued, "Injuries aside, I'll ask you, Pom's ability is so strong, he's had a few starts, he's played the whole game a few times, and it's ......not normal for a player who is so important to the team to get so little playing time."
'I've looked at the stats and among the newcomers at Borussia Dortmund, Dembele has played the most minutes, followed by Bartra and then Pon......,' said Dickel.
"In terms of contribution to the team, Dembele and Pang should have reversed their playing time, and Pang is the newcomer who should play the most minutes!" Rupert said, "Oh, I remember, Dembele was a player that Tuchel coach recommended to bring in, and Tuchel promised Dembele a place in the first place, and Pang was promised a place in the first place, but unfortunately the person who promised him was Zolke, Pang is really unlucky......
Seeing that his friend Rupert became more and more angry, Dicker knew that he couldn't talk about it, otherwise Rupert would have to explode.
"Boris, stop talking, these are your speculations, you don't have evidence, so please don't bring your personal emotions into the commentary game......" Dicker reminded.
"Man, I understand, I'll find proof!" Rupert was not convinced.
'Then wait until you find the proof, at this stage we can't add too much ......personal emotion to coach Tuchel's commentary,' said Dicker.
"Understood!" Rupert agreed.
When Dicker turned the headset back on, players from both teams had already entered the pitch. Dicker hurriedly took the starting list of the two teams in his hand and read it out.
“…… Dortmund's starting line-up for this game is ......" Dicker said loudly, "goalkeeper: No. 1 Weidenfeller, the back line from right to left, No. 26 Piszczek, No. 28 Ginter, No. 25 Sokladis and No. 30 Paslak
Midfielders: No. 8 Shaheen, midfielders: No. 9 Moore, No. 27 Castro, No. 10 Gotze and No. 34 Larsson, forwards: No. 20 Ramos, coach Tuchel lined up a 4141 formation......
"Union Berlin's starting line-up is: goalkeeper: No. 1 Mason Holler, defenders: No. 29 Parensen, No. 37 Reistner, No. 4 Poncech and No. 28 Trimmermeier, midfielders: No. 6 Pedersen, No. 27 Zenurahu, No. 23 Felix Kroos, No. 17 Hedlund and No. 18 Redondo, forwards: No. 21 Quanell, coach Jens Keller lined up a 451 formation......" Rupert exclaimed.
Although the two commentators had a big discussion about the fat man not being able to start. Rupert, in particular, pointed out that Coach Tuchel is very dark-bellied, but the fat man has no time to take care of this.
At this moment, the fat man was sitting quietly on the bench, looking like he was in a state of recuperation with his eyes closed. Since deciding to move to Manchester United in the winter and signing Mendes, the fat man's mentality has changed. The fat man is not thinking about how to fight against Coach Tuchel because he knows that it will do him more harm than good.
The only thing the fat man thinks about now is to score goals, which is to play beautiful statistics, and as for other aspects, they are all put in second place by the fat man, including the conflict with coach Tuchel. So when the fat man knew that he was being put on the bench again, the fat man did not have any displeasure, but closed his eyes and adjusted his state, because the fat man knew that once Dortmund was in trouble, Coach Tuchel would definitely use his own.
