Chapter 448: Bartomeu wants to try
In terms of his use and attitude towards Lin Yi, Tuchel has actually been very entangled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tuchel is really reluctant to use Lin Yi, who has no one in his eyes and is very arrogant.
But Lin Yi, as the guarantee of the team's victory, and at the same time the iconic figure of the current team, it is really impossible not to arrange him to play, whether it is the senior management or the fans, they are obviously unwilling to accept their captain as a sideline watch when he is healthy.
And as he managed the squad for longer and longer, Tuchel found himself gradually suffering from 'Lin Yi dependency'.
This is really not a good situation, especially Tuchel, who has always remembered that Lin Yi has mocked him in many matches and has a lot of disrespect, in fact, he has been thinking about how to put on small shoes for Lin Yi.
If you want to deal with Lin Yi, you must still start from his performance and popularity, right?
Thinking so, after scoring a goal on the field, Lin Yi had already rushed to the bottom of the stands after kicking a billboard.
He pulled the Borussia Dortmund logo on the front of his shirt and frantically displayed it to the fans.
"Kill him!"
"Kick his leg off!"
The crowd was filled with shouts and cheers, and most of the crowd were Schalke 04 fans, who were really tired of seeing the bravalist Borussia Dortmund players celebrating on the turf.
Lin Yi didn't care, he ran around the field at the same time, he didn't forget to kiss the Dortmund logo on his chest.
Rather than expressing any displeasure with the fragility of his own backline, Guardiola stood up very calmly and paced a few steps from the sidelines of the pitch before calling Lahm and Thiago to his side.
The kind of ball just now is not that his own back line is not strong, it can only be said that Lin Yi at that moment is basically unstoppable.
So...... Rather than blaming the players for not having the ability to prevent something that is unstoppable from happening, think about how to set up the next game for the team to win.
"Move the formation forward, Philippe, you and Xavier pay attention to your position, try to be able to catch Lin, don't let him always have a chance to break in, and of course, tell JΓ©rΓ΄me that it's important to block his pass into the box."
Hearing the task assigned by Guardiola, Ram looked embarrassed, counting on Martinez to block Lin Yi...... Difficult.
"But your defensive pressure shouldn't be so great, because we still have to rely on the attack to suppress Dortmund, Thiago, and make more passes to threaten the ball, I believe in your vision and footwork. Moreover, if you don't pass the ball like that, there is no point in arranging Thomas to play in this game. Just do it! Don't worry so much! β
Reus and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were still the fastest to rush up to celebrate with Lin Yi, although this time their partners did not cooperate with them as much as before, but it is not difficult to deny that no one will refuse this simple and crude way of scoring.
Royce and Aubameyang held Lin Yi, as if they wanted to lift him, but now that Lin Yi, who looked very thin, had a weight of seventy kilograms, these two real thin men really couldn't lift it.
Tuchel looked up at the time, hesitated for a moment and turned back to call both Shaheen and Weigl up.
"Let's warm up! Come back when I call you guys, you two will definitely play in the second half. β
The two of them glanced at each other, and without saying much, they changed their clothes and went to warm up.
And the celebration on the field was over, Muller and Lewandowski once again stood together in the center circle to kick off.
Muller's face is very grim, in fact, since Guardiola took over the team, his position seems to have become very embarrassing, because Guardiola's rigorous tactical thinking and philosophy are always inconsistent with his own style of mistakes.
But fortunately, the manager still took care of himself, while trying to modify his tactics to integrate himself into the team, and also gave himself opportunities in many games, and even relied on his own characteristics to help the team win some games that were not so easy.
But what about today? The importance of this race is undeniable, and it is the first title to be contested this season......
Also, the match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund always has something unusual about it.
Whether it's morale or the form at the start of the season, there is always a sense of trade-off between the two teams.
Thinking of this, Muller raised his head and looked at Lewandowski, who had already scored a goal, "You must not lose!" β
"Of course you can't lose." Lewandowski said this very seriously, how can you lose? Be sure to win!
The conversation between the two was not small, and Lin Yi, who was standing outside the middle circle, obviously heard it.
"Hey! I said you two guys, don't give yourself psychological hints there, it's up to me to decide whether you lose or not? Hurry up and get ready to come over and get your hands on the ball after kicking off. β
"Damn! It's very arrogant! It seems that I can't do it without giving you some color. Lewandowski yelled at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi raised his finger and pointed at Lewandowski's team uniform, "Red." β
He pointed to the turf beneath their feet, "Green." β
Finally, he pointed to Lewandowski's brand-new sneakers, "Oh, purple." You see you've shown me a lot of colors, too. β
Lewandowski was a little helpless to find that no matter how he played football and quarreled, he might not be Lin Yi's opponent, so let's still play football.
Because only by playing football can you win.
Thinking of this, he opened the ball and passed it to Muller, who turned sideways and played a long ball directly to Costa on the wing.
Douglas Costa and Kingsley Koman, two new signings, didn't seem to let go of their hands today.
At least their performance so far has been far worse than that of the two old-timers, Ribery and Robben......
Meanwhile, in a hotel in Barcelona, Enrique was chatting with Bartomeu, who had just taken office.
As the vice president of Barcelona for several years, Bartomeu, who was finally corrected after this election, can be said to be in good spirits at happy events, and the whole person is in good condition at the moment, and his face is shining.
"If you have to choose, it's naturally Chinese, because before he takes over Leo, it can also perfectly compensate for Xavi's departure and Andres's decline." Enrique touched his stubble and said very seriously.
"How much budget do you think this deal will need if it is to be done?" Bartomeu asked, holding his glass.
"It must not be cheap, a Gotze in Dortmund back then, but it cost Bayern Munich a full 40 million."
"But we can't ignore the fact that it was because Bayern Munich sold Gotze, just as Madrid would always pay a higher price if they wanted to buy a player from us."
"If you conservatively estimate it, it's at least 60 million euros, right?" Enrique said as he turned to the person sitting on the other side.
Puyol, who had become the team's athletic director, shook his head and turned his head to look at the captain when he debuted.
"Luis, your estimate is too conservative, according to the market in the transfer market in recent years, it is difficult for us to win less than 80 million, because his performance last season was too outstanding, and ...... As you can see, you can see how important he is to us and how much we need him. After all, he took over several people by himself. β
Luis Enrique sighed and turned his head to look at Bartomeu helplessly.
As soon as the new chairman took over the reins, he wanted to show his boldness.
So he called the team's athletic director and head coach to discuss the signings.
This new official has three fires, why don't you burn a little hot, if you can bring a star, it will be a big success.
But because of the current situation, after all, the transfer window is about to close, and the competition for all positions in the team seems to be fierce, so it is not easy to bring in any stars.
Until last week's UEFA Super Cup, whether it was Enrique, Puyol, or even the team's bigwigs like Messi and Iniesta, plus Bartomeu, they all had their eyes on the young Chinese player.
First of all, from the point of view of thinking, this young man seems to have the offensive attributes of La Masia's bloodline in his bones.
From the ability of individual dribbling to passing and controlling, it is very consistent.
From the point of view of personal ability, he is not as thin as the average La Masia product, anyone can see that with his physical fitness, he can carry most of the defensive players, and more importantly, when he has such an excellent physical talent, the technical movements are also very good, and there is no physical advantage that causes the technical deformation and distortion.
Then there are some hidden attributes, such as that he is a Chinese player, and he directly announced his retirement from the national team, which will naturally ensure that he has more physical fitness, as well as his age, and the maturity and heart that he will have when he is already a captain at a young age.
And so on and so forth......
The more they analyse this, the more Barca's top management and core players feel that they want to win this player.
That's why today, the chairman sits down with the athletic director and the head coach to discuss this issue in earnest again.
"Maybe you can sacrifice one or two players for a swap transfer?" In the end, it was Bartomeu, who had the strongest utilitarian heart, who spoke.
"Sacrifice one or two players? That's not good, and they definitely don't like the usual exchange of chips. What if Dortmund opened their mouths and asked us for Neymar? Or what about Louis? Or maybe it's Sergio? Enrique worried.
"Of course not! None of our starters ...... No one can leave except Daniel and Ivan. β
"Even if it is Ivan plus Alda, Dortmund will not agree." Puyol finally closed the coffin.
"How do you know without trying?" Bartomeu still had a hint of luck, "Besides, we can pay an additional transfer fee of about 50 million." And their new head coach doesn't seem to rely on Lin as much as Jurgen, right? β
β¦β¦
Still a little uneasy, Tuchel called Papastathopoulos again and told him to warm up as well.
Kyle, who was sitting behind him, was seriously worried, what was this brainless trying to do? It's not because of a one-goal lead that he wants to put a "9-0-1" out, right?
Guardiola's side has already used up a substitution, and what is more surprising is that it is Vidal, who has not recovered from the flu.
Before coming on the pitch, Pep Guardiola looked at Vidal again, "Don't force it. It was just the first race of the season. β
"But I do want to give it a try." The rebellious Chilean turned his head to look at Lin Yi, who was running on the field and receiving less balls.
"Then come on! Restrain him. Pep Guardiola said that again.
Down on the 8th, up on the 23rd.
The fourth official on the sidelines held a sign, and Javi Martinez, who had not started for a while, left the field with some regret.
I didn't finish the task assigned to me by the head coach before the game, and on the offensive end, I didn't seem to contribute much.
Looking at Vidal waiting to hand over to him on the sidelines, Javi Martinez couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and walked away.
Tuchel has yet to make any substitutions, and he has always felt that he is a coach who can keep his composure, and the substitutions are all about restraining others.
So he let Guardiola's side dispatch troops, but he still didn't make the slightest response.
As soon as Vidal came on the field, he walked near the center circle, and while passing on the coach's new arrangement, he did not forget to keep up with Lin Yi.
From Lin's point of view, Vidalna is definitely tougher than Javi Martinez.
Because Vidal, who is slightly shorter, is not only more flexible and faster than Martinez, but also completely suppressed by himself in the confrontation like Martinez.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi turned his head to look at the Chilean who had performed very well last season, and Vidal happened to be looking at him as well.
"Your show is over! Chinese, my task in this game is to watch you. β
"Isn't it? Your task should be on the normal game, not for me alone, don't you think? β
Lin Yi is still the same, and he is messing around with defenders without a match, but unfortunately Vidal didn't do it this time.
Thiago, who controlled the ball, was even more advanced because of Vidal's appearance, because compared to Xavi Martinez, Vidal was already a midfielder with the same attacking ability as he did defensively.
Although Vidal said that he was targeting Lin Yi, the task given by Guardiola also helped Thiago activate the midfield.
Both wings seemed to be a little nervous today, neither Coman nor Costa showed the level they had shown in the previous warm-up games, after all, they are still young, and this kind of big scene may still be a bit difficult to deal with.
However, Thiago did not give up on his two team-mates because of this, on the contrary, he still had the opportunity to send the ball to the wing.
The catch was more against Douglas Costa on Piszczek's side.
Piszczek wasn't as fast as Durm on the other side, so Thiago was keen to take advantage of Costa's speed.
Costa naturally understood that after a few missed shots in the first half, the manager also deliberately guided himself at half-time to pay attention to the attacking ...... It should be the two ribs of Dortmund.
"Although it seems like there are a lot of people there, there are a lot of people there that are a little incongruous, and if you can take a chance, you can make a big deal." Pep Guardiola was analyzing, while comparing him on the tactical board.
Opportunity?! Now is the time!
Douglas Costa, who had received another pass from Thiago, slammed back. It was found that Subotic and Ginter were both staring at Lewandowski in the middle, and he could have gotten rid of Piszczek.
