Chapter 595: Pointing the Country?
Under the taunts of the Leverkusen fans, the Dortmund people quickly left the scene, and the Bayer Arena turned into a sea of joy for Leverkusen.
Bayer Leverkusen qualified for the first final of the season, the final of the German Cup. Now, they can wait quietly for the final opponent, most likely Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich has just been eliminated in the Champions Cup, and the league is behind Bayer Leverkusen, they will definitely try to reach the final in the German Cup, although the German Cup is really a chicken rib event for Bayern Munich, but if you can't even win the German Cup this season, it will be a failure.
Bayer Leverkusen also reached the final of the German Cup after 7 years in 1993. If all goes well this season, they will have the same hope of winning the treble as Manchester United in the Premier League......
But at the post-match press conference, almost all German journalists were talking about Ricken and Zheng Zhi, who seemed to have forgotten about the German Cup. Everyone is denouncing Zheng Zhi and worrying about Ricken.
Worrall will have to stand up for Zheng Zhi at the press conference, when he will have to stand up for Zheng, although he is likely to be the head coach of the German team this summer. Ricken is injured, but he is not the German team competing in the European Championships in the Netherlands.
"I can relate to your feelings at this moment, and I feel sorry for Ricken's injury," Worrall said slowly.
"But,"
"Have any of you ever watched the slow-motion replay?"
"It is said that German journalists are the most professional journalists in Europe, and you have really discussed this matter objectively? We didn't want to discuss it, but you insisted? In fact, Zheng Zhi did not foul at all, which was a misjudgment by the referee, which was clearly shown in slow motion. This yellow card is a wrongful yellow card, it does not exist at all. As for Rickon's injury, it was all bad luck. Zheng Zhi's tackle is clearer and cleaner than the water on the Rhine! ”
"Why not think about it the other way around, just how bad Dortmund's actions were? If Ribery hadn't been lucky, maybe he would have gone with Ricken. ”
"Come on, I don't want to talk about it anymore."
'We've got to prepare for the second game against Borussia Dortmund and I hope we can still win them at home.'
Playing at home for three consecutive years, Bayer Leverkusen's luck is also off the charts. But now are Borussia Dortmund interested in another fight with Bayer Leverkusen? Most likely, not. The Borussia Dortmund players tasted a historic defeat at the Bayer Arena.
The next day, "Kicker" also reported on Ricken's injury, but still made the news of Bayer Leverkusen in the headlines.
- 1,005 passes, the craziest statistic ever. In last night's first German Cup semi-final, Bayer Leverkusen made 1,005 passes in 90 minutes. This data is unprecedented in football before, and the opponent Dortmund only made 382 passes, and in terms of possession, Leverkusen's possession rate reached 77% at the highest time, and the possession rate at the lowest time was 65%.
- In terms of players, Zheng Zhi has passed the ball 120 times, and his number of passes alone is equivalent to one-third of all Dortmund players.
- In the face of such a Bayer Leverkusen team, even if Bayern Munich advances to the final, what is the probability of them winning? And what are the odds of a win for Portuguese side Porto? You know, the lineup sent by Worrall today is not the strongest main lineup!
The Bild news was even more vivid, with several cartoons showing it all, with Heathfield, Klaus, and Porto coach Santos all kneeling on the turf and trembling in front of Worrall, wearing the crown, in submission to Worrall.
With more than 1,000 passes, this historic event caused a stir not only in Germany, but in fact a lot of attention throughout Europe.
Le Monde Sports seems to have discovered a new continent: 1005 times! Barcelona's average of passes per game is 835, while Bayer Leverkusen surpassed almost 170, so it's no wonder they were even better against Barcelona, who pioneered a new style of play.
The Times – Manchester United will probably lose the game if they have to meet Bayer Leverkusen again, this team is too dominant.
Milan Sport – Perhaps only the invincible AC Milan side of the year can beat them. AC Milan had no weaknesses back then, and this Bayer Leverkusen team still had many weaknesses.
Le Le Corpus – Want to know if Bayer Leverkusen has really evolved again? Then look at their second game against Borussia Dortmund and if they can still get a landslide victory, then it will prove everything.
One more time?
The French are so straightforward. They will be hoping that Bayer Leverkusen will once again play with an overwhelming advantage against Borussia Dortmund for the second time.
But what do the people of Dortmund think?
Head coach Klaus is thinking about this problem, let's play the main team, lose, don't play the main team, maybe lose more. It's all losing, why do I think about it so much? It's better to admit that you Leverkusen are strong, don't waste combat power with you, and I'll be on the bench!
On Wednesday, he opened his training ground to the public, and many of his substitutes wore yellow vests, which symbolize the main position, and the main players wore green vests.
It was clear that he decided to play the second game as a substitute, cleverly avoiding the attention of the sports media. This time, even if you win against Borussia Dortmund again by a landslide, you don't have anything to brag about, because we are on the bench.
Of course, the most fundamental reason why he gave up was, of course, that Dortmund was not Leverkusen's opponent at all, so he would rather give up on his own initiative.
This is actually a smart move.
After two days of observation, the reporter of "Kicker" decided that Klaus had given up and did not intend to bring shame on himself at the Bayer Arena at all, so he voluntarily chose to give up.
This is naturally not good news for Bayern Munich, Dortmund are reluctant to go toe-to-toe with Bayer Leverkusen, which means that Bayer Leverkusen can easily win three points, right?
Bayern big man Effenberg stood up and pointed to Dortmund coach Klaus: "This is the shame of German football, bad seeds, just because they lost the first game, they gave up directly in the second game." They didn't even think about revenge, what could they expect from such a team? ”
Mateus, who has already run to play in the major leagues, rarely agrees with Effenberg, "This is the reason why Bayern Munich is the boss of the Bundesliga, and Dortmund can only be a challenger forever, and can only look up to Bayern Munich, Bayern will not give up, but they will be the first to choose to surrender, this is not a German tradition." ”
"That's why Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen ended up meeting in the final of the German Cup, while Borussia Dortmund was nothing."
Dortmund was laughed at miserably.
Almost every German team's head coach and celebrity is taunting Klaus and Borussia Dortmund.
"It's a shame,"
"We should go out with all our strength,"
"Why cowardice?"
"Klaus doesn't deserve to be our head coach,"
'We need a more bloody, more passionate manager.'
……
……
Dortmund fans cursed that they couldn't stand such a.
Just the morning before the game, Jurgen Klopp, who had just coached Borussia Dortmund's Under-19 team, published an article in a football column in the Eintracht Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung – Bayer Leverkusen are not invincible, they can be beaten.
- If you want to beat Leverkusen, it is useless to defend alone, only play more actively and aggressively than them, suppress them with crazy running, destroy them, and not let Leverkusen play their own rhythm There is hope, in general, it is to press, press, and accelerate the advance on the offensive end! Zheng Zhi and Ronaldinho must not be allowed to control the ball at their feet, but should be reversed, let Zheng Zhi and Ronaldinho be tired of running and let them chase and run. Some people may say that if you can't be better than your opponent, how can you play a better game than your opponent? I would say that this is wrong, football is an 11-man sport, not a single position competition, why does Germany always win the championship and Brazil can't do that? Requirements: Oppression! Oppress! Oppress! Offensive! Offensive! Offensive!
Coincidentally, while he was talking, there was also a guy in the Portuguese press who published an article in the Portuguese press about how to beat Bayer Leverkusen, but the opposite of Klopp's.
- Obviously, Bayer Leverkusen's strength is second to none in Europe, it is quite difficult to beat them, if you want to win by attacking, it is almost impossible, and defending and counter-attacking is the key to victory against them.
Portuguese Jose Mourinho's tactics are well written: quick passage through the midfield + rib strikes. However, this set of tactics is relatively demanding on players. Starting from the backfield, the central defender squatting pit + grabbing: double back, dealer and defense + full-court sweeping beater; There are also the bursts on the wings and the finishing of the strikers. Requirements: Defend! Defend! Defend! Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack!
The powerful "Kicker" actually published this article in the Saturday edition of the newspaper, attracting onlookers from almost all of Germany.
"Who is Klopp?"
"Who is Jose Mourinho?"
"I don't know, I thought they were the two best managers in the world, they are so good at bragging, why don't they personally lead the team to play against Bayer Leverkusen?"
"Klopp? I've heard the name of this man, he just led Bayer Leverkusen Under-11 to win the German championship, and then he moved to Borussia Dortmund."
"A young coach who looks promising."
"A lot of Leverkusen's attacking tactics are rumored to have been developed by him."
"As for that Mourinho, he is a former Barcelona assistant coach, who used to be a translator by Robson's side, and later became Van Gaal's assistant coach, but recently he should have been kicked out of the team by Van Gaal, and some Spanish media said that the reason why Barcelona was eliminated by Bayer Leverkusen was because Van Gaal listened to this guy!"
"What?!"
"You're saying that, are the two of them really that powerful? One for Bayer Leverkusen to win, one for Barcelona to lose? ”
"This ........."
"I think it's too fake, it's impossible. Neither Van Gaal nor Worrall can afford to be affected like that. ”
"I didn't make it up. One is the news of the Spanish newspaper "Daily Sport", and the other is the news of the "Bild", both of which say so, if you don't believe it, you can flip through the previous newspapers, and that's what it says......"
……
……
"Defensive, defensive, defensive, offensive, offensive, offensive?"
"But~"
"You can't be a special player, what do you use to defend, what do you use to attack? Can middle school students beat high school students? Joke. ”
"It's all a joke, give me the configuration of Leverkusen, what do I want to do?"
Klaus also saw the news and threw the newspaper away as toilet paper. A small U19 coach did not take the initiative to greet him when he took office, but instead came up to disagree with him and publicly made remarks in front of the media about what could beat Bayer Leverkusen. You're so awesome, you're here to take my place, see if you can beat Bayer Leverkusen? It's a pity that you're the Under-19 manager and I'm the Dortmund manager!
You can't even learn respect, and your emotional intelligence is zero!
Klaus despised Klopp considerably.
Many people said that he was cowardly, that he sent a substitute on the field, and did not dare to face Worrall head-on, but why not ask Barcelona? Don't ask Bayern Munich, don't ask Manchester United, Fiorentina and Lazio? Borussia Dortmund is not a Champions League team!
Fools!
"It's that this Mourinho is very sober and knows the configuration problem."
"The tactics are quite right."
"But Dortmund doesn't......"
……
……
Only Zheng Zhi was surprised after watching the news, it looks like Klopp and Mourinho are about to start to emerge? So early on in the media to make a name for himself and express his views on football.
"Yes,"
"Whether it's Jurgen or Jose, the tactical thinking of these two guys has begun to take shape."
"Will it really coach the giants in advance? I can't imagine what the future of international football will look like if it really has to change? History has to be rewritten. ”
Zheng Zhi was talking to himself, not daring to think about it, but he was a little excited......
……
At 18:30 on Saturday afternoon, Klaus's side lost again to Bayer Leverkusen, again with a score of 0:2. They didn't lose much as they started as substitutes, so it's not ugly.
Because of Klaus's early abandonment, Worrall did not want to continue to slaughter the opponent, he also did not put out the full main force to play, the game was won with the same ease, there was no result expected by the sports media before, and the 1,000-foot pass did not appear, which can be said to be a 'happy for all' situation......
