Chapter 156: Champions League debut
Eva held the training plan prepared by her father in her hand, and sketched it to a certain extent, before she breathed a sigh of relief. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Yi, who woke up, first quietly looked at the schedule, and then let out a sigh of relief.
The next game is the first round of the Champions League group stage away to Napoli.
For Lin Yi at this moment, in addition to being his Champions League debut, this Champions League game also has a very far-reaching significance, that is, he can escape from Eva's clutches a few days earlier.
Lin Yi's training attitude is very serious and hardworking, but in the face of Eva's training, even he has a little drum in his heart.
Is this training for normal people? How do you look at it, it's a bit like inhuman torture?
As a midfielder, Lin Yi still prefers to do training with the ball, and physical training like this is really an ordeal.
After lying on the bed and struggling for a while, Lin Yi turned over and sat up.
Although I am very reluctant, I still have to do what I have to do.
After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she walked into the living room, and Eva had completely determined the training plan prepared for Lin Yi at this time.
Maybe in the current Lin Yi's opinion, Arthur. Bane's greatest advantage is that he can save himself by phone in such a crisis, and even if he doesn't instruct him.
On the other end of the phone, Arthur. Bane rarely spoke in a relaxed tone when talking to Lin Yi.
"Man! This time I contacted you with another advertisement, how are you going to thank me? β
Listen to Arthur. Bane mentioned advertising to himself, and Lin Yi felt that his head was as big as a fight, you told me about advertising?! How dare I thank you? As soon as I see you and think of the advertisement, I want to kick you to death!
Listening to the silence on Lin Yi's side, something was wrong, and it had already made Lin Yi very sharp. Bane suddenly came to his senses.
"Oh! Don't worry, Lin! This time the partner is Dortmund's jersey sponsor Puma, who intends to open up the Chinese market through you. Now you can rest assured, right? It will definitely not be a company related to that Uncle Eun anymore! β
Lin Yi listened to Arthur. Bane's introduction, nodded silently, this is still a good deal, you can try it.
"If you feel like you can. I'll contact them at the meeting place and set a time, how about it? β
"Oops! It's rare that you can do a good thing, so it's decided! You give me a look at it. If you can, get in touch! I'll leave that to you. Arrange to contact me! β
Lin sat on the sofa while talking on the phone, and suddenly something came to mind.
But before he could speak, Arthur. Bane spoke first, and Arthur, who was rarely clever, moved Lin Yidu a little.
"Don't! Let's talk about this in detail, don't leave it to me. I'm worried that I can't afford to take on such a big responsibility. β
Lin Yi was overjoyed in his heart, but he pretended to be very reluctant, and hesitated for a long time before agreeing.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi spread his hands to Eva with a helpless look.
"No way! Arthur must come to me to carefully study this cooperation with Puma, I can't help it, in order to prevent any more problems with that brainchild, I still go to discuss with him, and come back in the evening to train again! β
"Okay! It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as you complete the training tasks I arranged every day. It's okay to be late. β
Eva, who was watching the TV, said this lightly, and Lin Yi, who had already walked out of the house, almost hit the door frame......
Maybe Arthur is finally smart, or maybe Uncle En has no other advertisements to find Lin Yi to do.
In short, this time Lin Yi's cooperation with Puma was very smooth. Bane finally escaped the thankless fate.
All of this happened later, and now Lin Yi is still unhappy, after all, in the face of Eva's training, he really feels physically and mentally exhausted.
β¦β¦
After Eva's return, Lin Yi returned to his original form again, and what he looked forward to most every week was a match day.
He wasn't looking forward to it long this week because they had two games to play. And there is also an away game against Napoli.
Less than three days after Eva returned, Lin Yi had already followed his teammates on a plane to Naples.
As last season's Champions League runners-up, Dortmund's draw this season is quite good, with the exception of Napoli in the same group. There are also Arsenal and Lyon in Ligue 1.
In the face of such a grouping, Klopp and Dortmund naturally have only one goal, that is, to strive for the first place in the group.
In addition to Arsenal, they are still relatively strong opponents, Napoli and Lyon...... We will definitely try to receive the points you send.
Of course, that's what the players think, but only a handful of players are like Jurgen Klopp at the moment. Be vigilant.
Napoli are not so easy to deal with, and to be able to reach the Champions League as Serie A runners-up is definitely a remarkable achievement. The team that can achieve such results is naturally not the team that some players imagine to send points.
At the moment on the plane, Klopp was sitting at the front, looking at the news of the Napoli squad handed to him by the scout.
Napoli's goalkeeper Reina, as the number three of the world champion and European champion Spanish national team, has no doubt about his ability, and if it weren't for Casillas' strength, Reina would have been able to play this position.
The main thing to pay attention to in the back line is Albiol and ZΓΊΓ±ica, although Real Madrid's ability to abandon the player is average, but the most Reina compatriots, the tacit understanding between the two is still okay.
And the captain of the Colombian national team, Zuniga, is a small stature, but the defense is absolutely fierce defensive leader.
The other two defenders who are very likely to start are Dosena and Britos, although these two people are not very famous, but they are definitely not mediocre talents who can gain a foothold in the Serie A runner-up.
As for the midfield, Bariti and Behrami and Inle are not well-known, but the three of them are the core of the entire Napoli attack, the star of the Slovak national team, Hamsik.
And what may appear in front of Hamshik are two more Real Madrid veterans, Callejon and Higuain.
Isn't this lineup strong? Klopp asked himself in his heart, on the contrary, this squad is very strong.
Plus Raphael. Rafael Benitez, the Spanish coach with a lot of coaching experience.
There is definitely not a weak bench if the team is too relaxed. So it's not certain who will kill the deer!
With that in mind, Klopp decided to focus on the importance of the game and the quality of the opponent when he decided to mobilize the team tomorrow.
Jurgen Klopp thought about his players again and maybe we should make a little change to our starting line-up.
The two managers were in the game before it started. has already begun to fight wits and courage.
β¦β¦
In the SΓ£o Paulo Stadium, which has experienced countless glories and glory of the football king, Lin Yi is wearing a substitute player's vest to train with his teammates.
And this scene "coincidentally" was clearly seen by a journalist passing by, who, as an Italian journalist, of course, supported Naples.
Could it be that Lin Yi wants to be substituted? What kind of tactic is this? Borussia Dortmund want to play defensive counter-attacking at home in Napoli? Wrong! This is not scientific!
With such doubts in mind, he told one of his fellow friends about his discovery.
The two men also studied for half a day what Dortmund's purpose was. Unfortunately, in the end, there was no result.
They still don't know if Klopp has any tricks up his sleeve or just wants to get lost.
However, what is unbelievable in this world is the words that are constantly circulating in people's mouths, no matter who transmits them, they may not be credible, let alone the reporters who have various embellishments in their own words.
So, in the end, Benitez quickly learned that Lin Yi was injured and could not play.
Seeing his assistant convey such a message to him with great certainty, Benitez was overjoyed at first, and then frowned.
He only knew that Lin Yi's arrival gave Dortmund a waist. A tactical core.
But he didn't know if Dortmund without Lin Yi would play anything he couldn't imagine.
Klopp, that's not an easy person to deal with......
Compared with Benitez, Klopp's news is much more "closed".
He seems to have completely given up on paying attention to his opponents, and is comfortable behind closed doors, planning his team's next game.
Not only himself, but when he arrived at the station, he directly confiscated the equipment that the players could use to get in touch with the outside world.
In his own words, he doesn't want the players to be bothered too much by modern products before the game.
Klopp was cautious in the next two days of training and never saw his formation again.
This made the cautious Benitez even more suspicious, what exactly does this German want to play with me?
The more he thought about it, the more nervous he felt. And the more nervous he became, the more constrained his tactical arrangements became.
After thinking about it in the end, Benitez is also heartbroken, forget it! No matter how much it is! I arranged it as I thought. It doesn't matter how many of you are! When the time comes, I don't believe that you are a young man who can be more Taoist than me.
β¦β¦
It was in this mood that the two teams enjoyed their first Champions League games of the season.
From the perspective of Dortmund players, Lin Yi started without any suspense.
It's just that I don't know how many Napoli mouthpieces and fans will be stunned when they see Lin Yi walking on the field.
β¦β¦
"CCTV! Cctv! Welcome to the 2013~2014 season, the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage! Today's contestants are from Group F. Napoli host last year's runners-up Borussia Dortmund. I'm tonight's commentator Duan Xuan, and sitting across from me is everyone's old friend Zhang Luzhang Guide. β
"Hey, hey! Hello everyone, let's meet again! β
When the two men introduced themselves, the players of both teams were already standing in the tunnel of the players.
Lin Yi is still standing at the end of the team, and standing in front of him is striker Lewandowski.
Lewandowski turned his head to look at his teammates, feeling that Lin Yi's expression today seemed to be a little different from before.
He laughed, "Lin! You can't be nervous, right? How do you feel weird today? β
Lin Yi didn't speak, just tilted his head.
It's an exaggeration to say I'm nervous, but I'm just excited. It was my first Champions League game!
"Judging from the list we got before the game, Lin Yi should still be able to start! I don't know where I got the news that Lin Yi will miss this game due to injury, which also makes many fans very nervous, but now you can rest assured! Lin Yi is in the players' tunnel! Good! Let's see both teams start to enter! β
The referee picked up the football and was the first to walk out of the players' tunnel after playing the Champions League theme song on the spot.
The Napoli fans cheered in the stands, and although the team was no longer as glorious as it once was, the fans of this team still had a natural sense of pride.
It's all because it's called Diego. The Argentines of Maradona.
Although this team has not been called a strong team for some years, every time there is a home game, the SΓ£o Paulo Stadium is a sea of blue.
"Tell me about the starting line-ups of both teams!"
Duan Xuan said this, and the camera swept over the players of the two teams who were already standing in the stadium.
The host at the scene has also announced the names of the two teams' starters, and the boos and cheers are distinct.
"The home team Napoli today fielded a '4-2-2-2', goalkeeper Reina, Dosena from left to right in the backline, Albiol and Zuniga, plus Mesto. Barryty in the midfield position, Inle and Behrami in the left and right wing-backs, and Hamshik in the midfield position. Callejon was behind Higuain, who was up front as a lone striker. β
When the host announced the last name, "Lin Yi", the boos were as shrill as those given to Royce and Hummels.
The director of CCTV deliberately gave Lin Yi a close-up of his face, but saw that Lin Yi was still smiling and very calm.
"Borussia Dortmund's tactics today continued the previous thinking, just looking at the personnel arrangement, their midfield was a little disjointed in the middle and back, and the defense was a little weak. The goalkeeper is today's captain on the field, Weidenfeller. Schmelzer and Piszczek on the left and right, Subotic in the middle plus Hummels, Shaheen as a single midfielder, Lin Yi and Mechtaryan in the front, Reus on the left, Blaszczykowski on the right, and Lewandowski as a single arrow. β
This arrangement actually makes many people incomprehensible, because Shaheen is not a purebred midfielder, can the defense withstand such an arrangement?
With such doubts, the camera turns to Klopp.
Klopp, who was sitting on the sidelines, did not know that countless Chinese fans were watching him, and he calmly touched his stubble and took a sip of water. (To be continued.) )
