169. Unleash "Nature" (Ask for Recommendations, Collect, Ask for Subscriptions)
The playing time is not far away, the Dortmund players have returned to the dressing room, making the final preparations, the players seem silent at this time, usually someone will play music, no one does this at this time, Klopp clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and asked with a smile "Are you scared?!" β
Some people say they are not afraid, and some people are silent.
"Guys, there's nothing to worry about! I know it's a Champions League quarter-final game, I know that each of us dreams of reaching the heights of the past, and we shouldn't stop chasing Lars! β
Lars. Rickon is standing in the dressing room, he is a native of Dortmund, and his entire career has been dedicated to Dortmund, the reason why Dortmund can lift the Champions League trophy is also because of Ricken's birth, which is shocking!
In the '97 Champions League final, he scored a big shot for Borussia Dortmund, helping the team defeat Juventus, who had reached three finals, 3-1, and won the only Champions League trophy for the Dortmund governor.
After retiring as a player, Rickon started working for Borussia Dortmund, and this time at Manchester City, Ricken was like a psychological counsellor, cheering up the players as an old-timer.
Ricken is naturally the same as the Dortmund players to catch up.
"But, I would say guys, relax, we've done good enough! Now we need to play in this game just to play and if we are afraid to go on the pitch for fear of losing, this is cowardly action, we don't have to be afraid of anything! Pursue your heart, show yourself, no matter whether the result is good or bad, we accept it calmly! β
Klopp also can't say the potential of this team, he only knows that his boys are really good, but he is a manager, he will not be naΓ―ve like Wensheng, winning the Champions League is not only about strength, but also about luck, sometimes you play well, maybe you lose, sometimes you play poorly, but you can have a good result.
Borussia Dortmund picked up a point from Manchester City's home stadium in the group stage, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was a stroke of luck that they didn't play very well at the time.
"Anyway, relax and work hard!" Klopp clenched his fists and encouraged his disciple.
Ricken also gave a few words to the players, and praised the players for being very good, even saying that they were better than the team he was in Dortmund.
What he said may really be the truth, Dortmund was indeed very strong back then, and he borrowed money to buy a lot of good players, but Juventus was much stronger than them, Juventus at that time was the Juventus dynasty established by Lippi, and entered the Champions League final for three consecutive years.
Strength and luck have taken it, the first game of the quarterfinals is not good, and there is a second game, which is much more leeway than the final, and Ricken also knows that it is not a good thing for these players to play with the pressure of losing.
The Dortmund players gradually relaxed, and the pressure on them was not the Etihad or the Manchester City fans, mainly the cost of losing.
......
'Don't be nervous when you play, it's not your first time playing like this, Malaga is an example, first of all we have to make sure we don't concede a goal! And then think about winning the game! I don't know what kind of tactics they will adopt in the game, but they will definitely perform better than the last time they came to the Etihad Stadium, don't panic with the ball at the back, you can't clear the touchline! James, Yaya, you have to pay special attention to the filling position in the middle! β
"There are only a few of them, the intervention in the middle, the position in the penalty area... You need to fill in the slots and don't let them find a gap! Wen Sheng took a watercolor pen and drew a key area on the tactical board, which needed to be filled by the midfielder for defense.
Wen Sheng has already talked a lot about the tactical issues to the team, and he just reviewed some key defensive points for everyone before the game.
Because they are sitting at home, Manchester City's players are still relatively relaxed.
Some managers seem to be shy about luck, but Wen Sheng publicly said to his players at this time, "We did well against Malaga, but that doesn't mean we can do well in this game, because Dortmund is different!" Remember, from now on, you should not have mixed thoughts and feelings, leaving behind all the damned cheers, victories, etc., you are machines, you reapers of victory! β
Wen Sheng said impassionedly, with a hideous face, "On the court, you only need to do one thing to cooperate sincerely and break their run-and-bomb tactics!" β
......
"Dear viewers and friends in front of the TV, the first leg of the quarterfinals of the 12-13 UEFA Champions League Manchester City at home against Borussia Dortmund is about to begin, and the players from both sides are entering the stadium in the Champions League march, and the big battle is about to start!"
"Let me introduce you to the starting list of both sides, Manchester City's starting lineup is 4231, goalkeeper Navas, right-back Zabaleta, central defender Van Dijk, Kompany, left-back Klich, midfielder Milner, Toure, forward Silva, left winger Nasri, right winger De Bruyne, center forward Dzeko."
"Dortmund is also 4231 on the side, goalkeeper Weidenfeller, right-back Piszczek, central defenders Subotic, Santana, left-back Schmelzer, midfielders Gundogan, Kehl, forward Gotze, left winger Reuss, right winger Grosskreutz, center Lewandowski."
"The referee team for this game is from Sweden, and the main whistle is the international referee Jonas. Erickson ......"
He Wei quickly read the list of both sides of the game in the live broadcast room.
In the stadium, Wensheng and Klopp greeted each other warmly and agreed to have a drink together after the game.
When he returned to his seat, Wen Sheng remembered that it seemed that the two of them did not have good luck with each other, and he couldn't help but wonder, it seems that everyone doesn't want each other's good luck.
Wen Sheng is actually quite worried about this game, and he feels that Dortmund at this point will definitely be more difficult to deal with than in the group stage.
In the group stage, Klopp, as a new member of the Champions League, is not very experienced in the Champions League, and he is too afraid of Manchester City, so he is a little tactically a little shrunken, because Manchester City's team looks more stable, so Klopp's team has the meaning of closing and playing in the group stage, and now looking at the round of 16 games, Wensheng found that Dortmund let go instead, with a me-based style of play.
In this game, Wen Sheng believes that Dortmund is very different from the group stage, and it is likely to release his "nature" even more!
