Chapter 351: A Great Gift for You
Klopp has no objection to Kyle's statement. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jurgen Klopp paced back and forth on the sidelines, carefully keeping an eye on the training status of each player on the pitch.
The brutal physical training obviously had an effect, and Lin Yi's physical condition was obviously better than that of other players.
Even Weidenfeller was already tired and fell to the ground, Lin Yi was still in full shape for long-range shooting training.
Klopp also knew that Lin Yi had a beautiful physical trainer, and she was still his girlfriend.
Thinking of this, he slipped to Lin Yi's side and patted the shoulder of the captain who was still concentrating on football.
"Lin, what is your girlfriend doing now? What's the job? β
Lin Yi wiped the sweat from his face and looked at the head coach with some suspicion.
"She's now? She's in Marseille now, and she's gone home to see her father. What's wrong? β
"I feel that your physical training is very effective, and I would like to ask your physical trainer if he would be interested in coming to the team to coach."
Hearing this, Lin was stunned, the effect of his physical training?
Thinking of this, he looked left and right, only to find that his teammates had collapsed to the ground and gasped for breath.
"Of course I won't let her coach for nothing, and if possible I would like to hire her on the coaching staff as an assistant to the strength and conditioning coach. This way she can have an extra income, which is also very good. β
Hearing this, Lin Yi groaned slightly, in fact, he had considered this before, but after discussing it with Eva, it was Eva herself who took the initiative to reject this idea.
The reason is simple, in Eva's own words, I don't like this profession at all, I just wanted to help you.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi also made a decision for Eva by himself, but he expressed it more tactfully.
"Jurgen, do you think my current fitness is based on Eva's training program? Actually, Eva is not as godly as you think, the real god is her father, and I am just continuing the training of the plan he first made for me. β
"That'...... Her dad? What to do in Marseille? β
Hearing this, Lin Yi also sweated, although it was a peer, Klopp really didn't necessarily know about a physical trainer.
"Old Zola, he's the fitness coach of the Marseille club, and Didier arranged for me to train me for a while."
Klopp was helpless when he heard this, if he hired a little girl alone, it would be fine, but if he beat her father's idea, it would be more than just signing a contract.
"In this way, old Zola is very lucky, not only taught a superstar, but also solved his daughter's lifelong events."
Lin Yi smiled, "I think he's also quite lucky, after all, it's hard to find such an excellent son-in-law as me." β
After the training, Lin Yi left on the field with a bag of footballs.
Immobile and Sergio Ramos, as well as Reus and Aubameyang, have all taken the initiative to stay.
looked at Kaka, who was on the way with Lin Yi and Royce, and simply didn't leave.
Lin Yi swept around, and regretted that there was no defender here.
However, this was originally an additional practice, and there was no way to force everyone else to participate with him, so he didn't bother.
"Come on! Begin! β
Lin Yi said this, and a football was brought to the front of the middle circle......
It was said that it was an extra hour of practice, but in fact it was only more than half an hour.
After all, it's a group of young people who get together, and everyone has a good relationship, and they will make jokes or something when they practice.
Lin Yi is very satisfied with this, and the purpose of the extra training is to allow several newcomers to quickly integrate into the team.
And now, isn't this also a manifestation of integrating into the team?
After a few days of training, the two new strikers have improved their cooperation with their teammates, but more importantly, Adrian Ramos, who has been trembling before, also dared to joke a few words with captain Lin Yi, a symbol of authority.
In such a harmonious atmosphere, the 2014~2015 season of the German Bundesliga is finally about to kick off.
Borussia Dortmund's schedule is not bad, and the opening game of the first round is at their home stadium, which is a good start.
Because the fixtures were planned before the start of the season, everyone knew that the next opponent would be Bayer Leverkusen.
In the last training session before the game, Klopp didn't say much to his players, just told them to rest.
Everyone didn't have too many ideas about this game, but their captain was already excited in advance.
Royce knows that Lin seems to be excited every time he meets an opponent with Asian players.
On August 24, 2014, Borussia Dortmund's new league season officially kicked off.
Since it is a home game, Dortmund's players are still relatively relaxed.
Klopp also made the starters early and lined up their strongest lineup on paper.
In the end, the two new signings on the front line still failed to enter the starting list, and the one standing at the front was actually the captain Lin Yi.
In Dortmund's locker room, Lin Yi was making the final mobilization before the game.
Jurgen Klopp and Kyle have led the substitutes out of the dressing room.
Lin Yi looked at these familiar faces, "The first game of the league, go out and kill them, and get a good start." Let's go! β
The Dortmund players followed behind Lin Yi and walked into the players' tunnel with great ambition.
As soon as he entered the players' tunnel, Lin Yi saw the South Korean star Son Heung-min, who was also firmly in the main force at Leverkusen.
Although the Koreans were at the end of the line, Lin Yi still saw him at first sight.
The referee on duty was already waiting in the players' tunnel at this time, and after checking the time, he cleared his throat and waved his hand.
Lin Yi understood that he was making it possible for the players of both teams to prepare for the entrance.
As captain, he walked to the front of the home exit and stood at the front of the exit, before Bayer Leverkusen's captain Fidel Castro came to his side.
Lin Yi grinned when he saw this small player who could adapt to multiple positions on the field turn his head to look at him.
Before he could say anything, he said, "Get ready, team leader, I have a big gift for you today." β
Lin Yi was stunned, there is a big gift? Do you want to give me two balls at the beginning? That's a good idea.
Thinking so, the referee signaled left and right and walked to the court first.
Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders at Castro, didn't speak, and walked out with the referee.
The stands facing the players' tunnel are still full of Dortmund die-hard fans, they have prepared what can be called a fan culture of the stadium tifo, Lin Yi used to follow the team at the end of the game, always able to take a closer look at the content on it, but now as the captain walking at the front of the team and going through those processes, it really won't give him time to appreciate so carefully.
"Positive."
"The flip side."
Lin Yi and Castro said separately, and the referee also quickly tossed the coin into the sky.
Seeing such a scene, Kyle on the sidelines was also a little embarrassed.
In the end, Borussia Dortmund won the kick-off, while Bayer Leverkusen chose the side.
When Lin Yi stood in the center circle with Royce, he finally understood what Castro meant by surprise.
Bayer Leverkusen did not make many signings in the off-season, just loaning a young centre-back from Roma.
The young Yedwai has already appeared in the starting lineup, and in addition to him, the defenders that Lin Yi has seen before have all appeared on the field.
This shows that Bayer Leverkusen today has a formation with a lot of defenders.
And to deal with this situation, it is Lin Yi, who has just tried a few striker positions.
Klopp was shaking hands with Leverkusen's new coach Roger Schmidt at this time, and when the two of them embraced, Roger Schmidt said softly, "Today's scene, I don't know if your team leader can withstand it." β
Klopp, who already knew the starting lineup of Bayer Leverkusen, did not speak, and his heart was a little nervous.
I didn't expect this newcomer to the Bundesliga to anticipate his tactical arrangement, which can almost be regarded as a formation of six defenders, which must be used to target Lin?
Lin squinted his eyes, whispered something to Royce, and knocked the ball away.
At this time, Dortmund's stadium host was introducing the starting XI of both teams.
"Borussia Dortmund, starting line-up. No. 1 Weidenfeller, No. 4 Subotic, No. 6 Sven Bender, No. 8 Gundogan, No. 10 Lin, No. 11 Reus, No. 15 Hummels, No. 17 Aubameyang, No. 22 Kaka, No. 26 Piszczek, No. 37 Dulm. β
After this paragraph, the harsh boos of the audience have been accompanied by it, and it has never stopped.
"Bayer Leverkusen, starting line-up. Leno, Walshoeid, Papadopoulos, SpaΕ‘iΔ, Yedwai, Donati, Lars Bender, Castro, CalhanoΔlu, Son Heung-min, Kiessling. β
After the eleven names were announced, the boos reached an unprecedented height.
The fans at the scene also heard what kind of formation they were going to face.
In the midst of this boo, the ball was already open.
Kaka, who picked up the ball in midfield, didn't lose his way because of the number of defenders in the opposition, and after so many years on the pitch, he had seen too much time in the world.
Kaka, who picked up the ball near the centre circle, was not well taken care of, and he himself was well aware that the opponent's defensive focus was not in the midfield.
Faced with this unworthy treatment, Kaka was quite satisfied, and he strode forward with the ball in stride.
The three Dortmund frontcourt moved as he ran, but they felt the pressure just by running empty.
For no other reason, it's just that Bayer Leverkusen's backfield is too crowded, with five defenders plus a midfielder, and a jack-of-all-trades Castro to fill in the gaps.
Kaka was right, he took the ball through the center circle, and Castro immediately met him.
Facing the rising star of the Bundesliga, Kaka didn't think about passing, turned around and gave the ball back to Gundogan.
This was also the set-up of Klopp's game before the game began, controlling the ball and looking for chances.
While Castro is keeping up with Kaka, the young Croatian defender has already followed Lin Yi.
Lin Yi is not uncomfortable with this kind of marking, after all, he enjoyed this treatment late last season.
He stepped back, and Jedwai followed.
In this way, the game went on for ten minutes, and Bayer Leverkusen, who was recoiling from the defense, did not give Dortmund any chance.
Kaka tried several times, but couldn't get the ball to Lin Yi's feet.
It's not that Kaka's passing ability has deteriorated, it's just that it's really difficult for him to get the ball past the two players and accurately send it to Lin Yi, who is also closely following by him.
Seeing that the attack was deadlocked, Durm and Piszczek, who are usually very sharp in assists, hesitated.
It's true that Bayer Leverkusen are shrinking defensively, but so is the pace of their front three.
Sun Xingmin, Calhanoglu and Kiessling, these three are all counterattack weapons......
Jurgen Klopp was clearly aware of this and did not give instructions to let the full-backs press forward.
Such a defense and formation...... I can only hope that these guys in the front court will make a difference.
Dortmund's midfielders are not vegetarians, so they naturally understand what they have to do in the current situation.
The first to step up was Kaka, who, after a small interaction with Gundogan dodged Castro, slammed the ball down.
Lars Bender, who was on the defensive, was caught off guard and was directly forced to get rid of him.
At this moment, Kaka seems to have returned to the long-haired wind-chasing boy when he first debuted.
Although he has cut his long hair short, he even has a lot of stubble coming out.
But Bender and Castro behind him still can't catch up with him.
Klopp stood up excitedly, that's it, the purpose of buying Kaka is not to sell jerseys!
After getting rid of two players in a row, Kaka was still carrying the ball forward.
Lin Yi ran with comprehension, looking at the clarity of his thoughts and the smoothness of his movements, no one could imagine that the position he was best at was actually the front midfield.
Yedwai's thinking was also very clear, and he firmly pestered Lin Yi to prevent him from having a chance to turn around and get the ball.
Reus and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were not idle, with Reus slotting diagonally into the box and Aubameyang picking up on the edge of the box.
Walscheid, who went up to block it, didn't expect Kaka to throw himself away with just a dexterous change of direction.
Roger Schmidt on the sidelines stared at the field very nervously, hold! Be sure to hold on! Otherwise, all my arrangements will be in vain!
Kaka shook off Walscheid and picked up his right leg coldly.
The Brazilian king's long-range shots, like dribbles, were a weapon to defeat the enemy at his peak.
The young German No.3 screamed nervously, directing his team-mates' defence.
But Kaka's leg fell faster, and the ball unexpectedly flicked up, and instead of flying towards goal, it was hoisted diagonally to the left side of the box.
Lin Yi, who had just run for Kaka to tear up the empty middle lane, then hit Yedwai with his back and turned around suddenly.
Klopp's eyes widened nervously, waiting for Lin Yi's move...... (To be continued.) )
