Chapter 467: A dog on a leash in the coach's seat
"This desire to win, in fact, our players still have it, but unfortunately, the coach does not. I don't know how a coach who has a back five against a slightly stronger team and never has the slightest offensive thinking can lead the team to victory. I don't know what a manager who only cares about personal grievances will lead the team to. ”
Watzke and Zolke glanced at each other, in fact, they have always known about the grievances between Lin Yi and Tuchel, when they signed Tuchel, they were not without consideration, but in the end they were greedy for a little bit of cheapness, so they made such a fuss.
Watzke and Zolke know their captain, and Lin Yi has always been very generous, as long as the team can win, he has always been willing to give and self-sacrifice. Besides, Lin Yi, as a player, does not need to take the initiative to break with Tuchel.
After listening to Lin Yi's words, both Watzke and Zolke fell into deep thought.
And Lin Yi still sat on the side as plainly as he did when he spoke before, looking at the two bigwigs of the team.
'I don't really want to hear what Tuchel says now because I feel like whatever he says it's already time.'
Watzke pondered for a while, then turned to Zolke and said this.
"Then don't look for him? Direct decision? Zolke looked tentatively at Watzke and asked.
"But before he gets out of class, we have to decide who the new manager is, so we'll have to wait a while."
Watzke said as he turned his head to look at Lin Yi.
If before, Watzke regarded Lin Yi as the superstar and core of his club, but now his mind has changed.
Such a player, even if he is not from the German or from the Dortmund academy, can still be the flag of our Dortmund, just like Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid now.
Whether it's the feelings for the team, or the desire to win on the pitch, or the ability and image of the individual. He can do both.
"Do you have any advice on the selection of a new coach?" In the end, Watzke decided to ask Lin Yi's opinion.
Speaking of this, Lin Yi shook his head, "In this regard, I really don't have any ideas, and it also involves the financial and economic situation, I think it is still up to the top to make a decision." It's not just a matter of competition, after all. ”
After listening to Lin's analysis one by one, Zorke and Watzke glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be more satisfied with the captain.
But Zolke finally had a heart, "Lin, then the coach you don't want, is there any type or who?" ”
Lin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this question, "If it's personal, don't be Tuchel, as for the type, as long as you want to win, you should be able to have a clear idea, right?" After all, I'm just a player, at most the captain of the team, and under normal circumstances, I will definitely obey and support the coach, and you don't need to worry about that. ”
Speaking of which, Lin Yi also understood a little bit about the reason why the two of them were worried, could they be afraid that they would make trouble?
"Then let's do it first, let's study it again, and you will hold on for a few more rounds, and we will contact as soon as possible, despite the results."
Now that his mind has been decided, then Vacsk must have appeased Lin Yi's emotions, and after thinking about it, he added.
'In the next game, I will tell Tuchel that you must be scheduled to start, and as for the tactical issues, you don't have to worry about what he says, just follow the way he can win, anyway, he will be out of class soon, and you don't need to worry too much about him.'
Lin nodded, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fuck, this bastard is finally going to get out, and in the last few rounds, I must make you "comfortable".
Although Lin Yi is very angry in the eyes of many people, he doesn't care about anything in some things.
At least with Tuchel, who dug such a big hole for the team, this waste must not be so good.
Aren't you afraid that I will affect your rights on the team? This time, I'm going to let you experience it.
But these are all Lin Yi's own thoughts, and they are not reflected in the slightest on the surface.
Basically, the three people who have determined the follow-up development will not have the tense and serious atmosphere before, on the contrary, Zorke, who has drunk two glasses of wine, is also in a better mood, and the atmosphere at the whole table is much more relaxed.
While we were chatting, it occurred to Watzke that the manager's words should perhaps be considered for our old friend.
"Michelle, when it comes to the head coach, I suddenly think of a perfect candidate, do you know who it is?"
Zolke looked across from him, and suddenly understood what the president meant.
When Kyle was the captain in the beginning, there were four people sitting on every occasion, with the president and the captain facing each other, and he, as general manager, sitting across from head coach Jurgen Klopp.
But now, Klopp is not here, and it would be a good thing if he could be brought back.
Zolke is also a man of action, and after thinking of this, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Klopp directly.
The two of them have been friends for many years, and after Klopp left his job, he would often contact Zolke to eat, drink or chat together.
But they all have a good understanding and never say much about Dortmund.
So this time, when Klopp picked up the phone, he still reacted as usual.
"What's wrong? Michelle, looking for me for a drink again? I don't have time today, or I've been a little busy lately, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity. ”
"Nope. Jurgen, I have more important things to do with you than drinking, where are you now? Zorke asked hurriedly.
"I'm in ...... right now Anyway, I'm not in Dortmund right now, what's the matter? Is it inconvenient to say it on the phone? ”
Zolke was stunned by Klopp's question, and in the last thought, anyway, it was said on the phone, and it was also said when we met.
"That's right. Because Thomas Tuchel's philosophy is very different from our Dortmund, Watzke and I have decided to fire him, but we don't have a clue who to choose the new manager, I am with Watzke, and we suddenly thought, if we invite you back again, wouldn't it be a perfect solution to this problem? So I called and asked what you mean. ”
"Oh? That's right. Michelle, I'm sorry, I'm meeting with the top management of a different club right now, and we've just reached a preliminary agreement and basically initialed the contract...... So, this time I can't. Besides, you can see what I did last season, so if I go back this time and don't do as well as Tuchel, then I'm not embarrassed? ”
Zolke's face changed a few times, he had long thought that a manager of Klopp's level would not be idle at home, but he never imagined that he would be contacted by other teams so quickly.
After hesitating for a moment, Zolke couldn't help but ask, "Yes...... Clubs in Germany? ”
"Of course not, I'm not in Germany, but I can't tell you too much because of some things that need to be kept secret."
As a senior manager of a club, Zolke certainly understands that many things cannot be said casually before or even after the official announcement, so although he was very curious, he didn't ask too much, just blessed his old friend.
Klopp, on the other hand, was more relaxed, and did not hang up the phone in a hurry, but continued to speak.
"I think the team's record is still good now, at least it's much better than this time last year, why do you suddenly remember to change the manager? While Thomas wasn't a good choice, he was abandoned too quickly. ”
Zolke smiled a little helplessly, "There's no team that doesn't want a good choice, does it?" ”
'How are the players doing now? I think that kid Lin always rotates? Not feeling well? Or is it in bad shape? Neither of these points is very scientific in his case. Klopp continued to ask.
"The reason why he didn't play, I think now summed up, maybe it should be that the relationship with the manager is not good, haha."
Klopp on the other end of the phone didn't burst into laughter this time, nor did he rush to speak.
"With that said, maybe I could buy him into my new team, which is great."
"Get out of here! Don't beat our captain's idea. He's not going to go! Barcelona and Real Madrid he refused! ”
"Haha, I know this, so I'm just thinking about it, besides, Lin is very suitable for Dortmund, don't bury him." Keep it up! I'm going to go back and talk about the details, so I'll get back in touch when I get back. ”
After saying that, Klopp hung up the phone, leaving only three people looking at each other with a wry smile, the best choice, it seems, is gone.
Lin Yi's side still maintained a relatively calm state, but Zorke did not forget to continue to comfort his team captain, "Don't worry, although there is no hope on Jurgen's side, we will definitely try to find a good coach to take over." Like you said, we should also look for opportunities to try some breakthroughs in terms of performance, instead of being satisfied with the status quo all the time. So this time I definitely have to find a good manager. ”
Watzke also nodded, "Don't worry, Lin." Anyway, you will start in the next round, play well, don't have any emotions, let's complete the selection and change of coach as soon as possible, so that the team can get back on track. ”
"Actually, I think Michelle is very reasonable, as long as there is a strong coach, you don't necessarily need the kind of coach who is too famous, the famous head coach, the salary will definitely be relatively high, such a coach doesn't seem to be very suitable for us, right?"
The two high-level executives were simply grateful, this captain could not only help the team attack the city on the field, but also think so thoughtfully off the field.
In fact, there are indeed not many famous marshals who are idle at home now, if you want to find the kind of person who is in the post itself, whether it is a contract or liquidated damages, there are many troubles to solve. And these two types of coaches, Dort does not have any particularly clear goals at the moment, so although the time is tight for the selection of coaches, there may not be many options.
Of course, this kind of worry is mainly worried about Watzke and Zolke, Lin Yi doesn't have too many ideas, anyway, the season has been playing so far, for himself, the head coach is there or not.
It was not too early for the three to finish eating, but Zolke made a phone call to Tuchel before the three parted.
Very seriously and clearly asked him to ensure Lin Yi's playing time, not only that, but also to start more.
Tuchel's side is actually very reluctant, but there is no way, this is the manager of the team after all, and with his current position at Dortmund, it must not be provoked.
In fact, Lin Yi also understood the reason why Zorke did this, he just wanted to reassure himself and show an attitude.
After the three said goodbye, Lin Yi returned home and called his two friends to his house again, and the three of them drank together on the football field in the backyard until the eastern sky turned white.
"Walked away. Let's all go back and have a good rest, and we will perform well in training tomorrow, and from today onwards, we will not play for that idiot. Whether it's for the team or for ourselves, we have to make a breakthrough this season. ”
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was too drunk to walk, lay on the turf and shouted, "No problem! Take the Triple Crown! ”
"Six crowns!" Royce, who had also drunk a lot on the side, added dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, okay, you two don't blow it here, get up and get me back to sleep, I have to go back to sleep."
Of course, none of the last two people went back, and Lin Yi didn't go back to his room, so the three guys slept in the Lin family's backyard all night.
But the amazing thing is that even so, they were still not late for the next day's training, but their eyes were a little red.
Tuchel looked at Lin Yi, who had stepped on the point and came to the training ground, and reluctantly raised his hand.
"Lin. When you start the next game, you go back to the starting line-up, perform well and don't let down the trust we have placed in you. ”
Lin didn't even point it, but just threw the black vest that represented the substitute team in training directly to the ground.
Tuchel didn't expect this guy to suddenly become so aggressive, and when he thought about the tone of his uncompromising tone when the general manager called him last night, he suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
With Lin Yi on the pitch, Tuchel did not release his '5-3-2' because he knew that Lin Yi would definitely rely on his on-the-spot runs to lead his back five into an attacking formation.
After thinking about it for a long time and looking at Dortmund's opponents in the next round of the league, Tuchel finally decided to play a '4-2-3-1', of course, the main task is to defend well. As for Lin Yi, don't you like to attack? That's when you go to the front to do that single arrow, to satisfy your desire to attack, and if you can't score, I can say a little more about you.
Tuchel lamented the ingenuity of his squad and showed his tactical thinking on the tactical board.
Lin Yi, who was standing in the farthest position from him, raised his eyebrows, this waste is really not an ordinary waste, it can actually discharge a "4-2-3-1" with a sense of "9-0-1", I really have nothing to say to him. Leashing a dog in the dugout may be no different from a manager like him, right? Anyway, the opponent of the weak team will naturally collapse, and the strong team will naturally collapse.
