Chapter 364: Why Fight Hard

'Bremen are a tough opponent to play with, and now they are tied for top of the league with Bayern Munich and we have only seven points. We lost the game against Cologne because of the UEFA Super Cup, so we can't afford to make that again. ”

'Bremen have a great attack, but they have a big flaw at the back...... Their defenders are very tall, but the reaction is slow, we have to break through more, look for more opportunities, use fast and flexible attacks to make their backline problems, in defense we have to be careful Miku, Charlie Steas will not be too threatening, but Elton we have to pay attention, this guy is very fast, is the type we don't want to encounter, in the midfield to control Miku, his passing and organization is the source of Bremen's attack! Of course, Listesh and Hurmit Davara should also be careful...... Don't leave too much room in the backcourt, got it? ”

"Got it!" The players replied in unison.

Dick nodded, and then let the players go - he was still sure of this game, because although Bremen's midfield core Miku did not play in the French national team, Miku still stayed in the national team for ten days, while Dortmund hid Arshavin and let Everton take his place, and Olic was also put on the bench, Donovan came on, this is to increase the speed and breakthrough ability of the front.

Everton has been useful on a lot of the occasion and his pace and technique can cause a lot of problems for most Bundesliga defenders, while Donovan has a good dribble and can be of great use when Arshavin is a little tired from his previous campaigns and national team call-ups.

Because this match is not an international competition, it is possible to sell a portion of standing tickets – as is the case with most Bundesliga clubs' home stadiums, so the capacity of their stadiums is constantly changing......

This time, Dortmund fans set a new record, and with the addition of standing tickets, more than 80,000 fans poured into the Westpha-Lun Stadium! This set a new record in the Bundesliga – the Ruhr fans have always been crazy about it, and perhaps it was because of the Dortmund fans that it wasn't long before the Schalke 04 fans were furious that the highest decibel noise in the stadium was made......

The sight of 80,000 people shouting together is rare in a football match, and for Dortmund, who are mostly young players, such a shout is enough to inspire their courage and fighting spirit.

Young people are always more likely to be stimulated out of the state a little bit, and it is easier to be motivated.

From the very beginning of the game, Dortmund launched a fierce attack at home - although in the UEFA Super Cup, Dortmund's defense was quite strong, but Dick knew that this tactic could only be used in extreme situations, and in normal games, such tactics would wear down the players' spirits and make Dortmund's only advantage unable to play to it.

Young people should play a little more energetic and unrestrained, instead of huddle in the half and play dull defensive football.

Fast running, back-and-forth sprints, intense pressing...... Dortmund launched such an attack after the start of the game, which made the shouts of the Dortmund fans in the stands start to become more frenzied.

Bremen are constantly entangled with Dortmund in midfield, playing fast when they have the opportunity - their forward partnership is a typical one-high-one-fast tactic, Charlie Steas is a standard high school striker, and Elton ...... This chubby forward has incredible speed, known as ball lightning, and he is much faster than many fast horses.

In the tenth minute, after withstanding Dortmund's two attacks, Elton almost created a chance with his speed, when he and Metzeld chased the ball together, the two started at the same time, Metzeld was ten meters closer to the ball than Elton, but when they were about to catch up with the ball, the two had already run side by side, and the surprised Metzelder took the risk of choosing to fall to the ground and tackle, shoveling the ball into the penalty area in front of him, and the attacking Weidenfeller got the ball, and Dortmund resolved Bremen's attack!

"Well done!" Dick gave Metzelder a thumbs up off the pitch, he knew that if he wanted to press out and attack, Dortmund's backline would definitely face the impact of Elton's speed, and it was good to be able to do this, he didn't want to block Bremen's attack, but to score more goals than them!

Metzelder smiled bitterly, Elton's speed was indeed too fast, and the tackle just now almost strained his thigh, if he did it a few more times, Metzelder was worried about whether he would be injured......

In a head-on confrontation, Metzelder is not afraid of any striker, but in such a speed competition, even if he is not slow, it seems a little difficult......

The only consolation to him was that soon, Dortmund once again suppressed Bremen with their attacks.

Donovan received a pass from Borowski, the American has been playing in Germany for a few years, although he has been a substitute at Bayer Leverkusen, but he has a lot of confidence in his time at Dortmund, although he is also a substitute, but at Dortmund, it seems that there are more opportunities.

Donovan forced his way through the ball against Canadian full-back Startri, and after attracting the opposition's attention, he quickly turned and passed the ball to Everton, who switched to the middle.

Everton pick up the ball at the edge of the penalty area, then pick up your right foot and shoot straight at goal!

The ball flew into the box, Friedrich blocked it with his body, and the ball fell in front of Everton again, who took advantage of the situation to rush forward into the Bremen penalty area.

Bowman came from the side to block, Everton made a quick stop, and then pulled the ball to the left again, causing Bowman to make an emergency stop, but he dunked the ball back again, and then shot with his right foot in the box!

The ball flew up the turf to the bottom right corner of the net, and Bremen goalkeeper Lineke was blocked by Bowman, and by the time he saw the ball flying close to the ground, it was too late to make a save......

With a huge cheer from the Dortmund fans, the ball flew into the Bremen goal, and thanks to Everton's goal, Dortmund took the lead at home in the sixteenth minute!

"Well done." Dick waved his fist, although there are no big stars on Dortmund's front line now, but all of them are very characteristic players, even in the case of rotation, they can play their role, as long as they can be properly arranged, such a set of offensive lines can also play a great role.

For example, at this time, Arshavin was rested because of rotation, and Everton was able to come up, and now Dortmund's forward line, speed, technology, and strength are not lacking, and several forwards have their own characteristics, which is also of great help to Dick's arrangement.

This is why Dick feels that he should stay at Dortmund for another season, in addition to not wanting to leave in one season, Dortmund's current situation is actually a great opportunity to train him, how to use the information at hand to fight for a more favorable result, and strive to win the league title to win the prize money, which is also a test for himself.

After taking the lead, Dortmund's attack slowed down a bit, which allowed Bremen to create some chances as well, and five minutes later, Charlie Steas received Miku's cross and headed it over Vaughans to almost head the ball into the Dortmund goal.

"Keep attacking, don't forget what I said!" Dick shouted from the sidelines, shrinking at this time is looking for death, at least in this case, the lethality of a Charlisteas is much greater, and the tactics of recovering the defense after taking the lead against Porto are because the opponent's strong offensive ability is not very good, and the level of the Lithuanian high school forward is also average, and although Charlie Steias is not a top center, his strength and impact are quite outstanding.

Only by continuing to use the attack to suppress the opponent can he be less threatened, although doing so will make Metzeld suffer a little, but Dick does not mind conceding the ball, this kind of training will make Metzeld grow faster.

However, there was one other factor that Dick failed to take into account, and that was that Metzelder showed extremely tenacious form in this game, and no matter how stubborn the game was, Elton did not have many chances to get the ball.

This is of course a good thing, but this kind of hard work made him strain his thigh in the thirtieth minute of the game......

After a hard-fought tackle that took the ball off the touchline, Metzelder was about to get up when he collapsed clutching his thigh......

Seeing him like this, Dick also had a hint of foreboding, he first called Ismail on the bench to warm him up, and then the team doctor came on a stretcher.

"I have a thigh muscle strain and need to rest for a while." The team doctor quickly reported back the news, Dick shook his head, and then called back Ismael and asked him to play: "Be careful, don't let that guy have a chance to sprint, just block the pass that his teammates give him, don't fight with him for speed, understand?" ”

"Got it!" Ismail nodded, and then rushed onto the pitch.

"You guy, why are you fighting with him......" Dick sighed and patted Metzelde, who was being carried off the stretcher: "Forget it, take care of your injuries, think about why you are injured...... Do you have to fight with them for speed when the other party's speed is fast? Think about this problem clearly, although you are not slow, there is no need to fight hard with the other party. ”

Metzelder nodded a little frustratedly, the leader was right, he was too brutal, if he could be more flexible......

"Don't worry, be careful, you know? I don't want you to be bothered by injuries all the time. Dick concluded.

Metzelder was carried into the ambulance with a grateful face, his strain was still very serious, because some of the previous movements were relatively large, and finally broke out together, and Dick also remembered that Metzelder was also the kind of glass man who overhauled half a year and a year at every turn in the future, if his glass physique was caused by his own hands, then he couldn't say anything, and he would rather lose Metzeld's central defender next, and he would also let Metzelder recuperate better.

Ismael is also a top central defender, he is a little more mature than Metzelde, he and Metzelder have basically rotated last season and since the beginning of this season, this is also to develop Metzelde, but who knew that Metzelder would be injured in this game? I'm going to have to rely more on Ismail......
