The Champions League quarter-finals against Barcelona are like a boulder weighing on the hearts of players. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The players don't talk about it, but they all know in their hearts how strong the opponent is.

When I think of this, the players are still a little depressed.

But as the manager, Jurgen Klopp understands that league games that don't look so strong before facing an opponent are the biggest test for the team at the moment.

It was clear from last season that the Borussia Dortmund team has never been afraid of tough battles.

And how to keep the players excited is the most important task.

With Lin Yi and Lewandowski, the Dortmund players returned to the pitch for another round of training.

Klopp was most worried about Lin Yi, because he could also see a little fatigue from his performance in the Asian Cup.

But looking at it today, my worries are completely unnecessary.

I think it's all the credit of his beautiful girlfriend, and this professional physical trainer is not blowing, and there are really two hits.

Lin Yi stepped on a ball and called out to Sven Bender, who had just returned from injury today.

"What's wrong? Lin, is the Asian Cup too miserable and wants to make me angry? ”

Lin Yi's possession and dribbling ability are well known to everyone, and few people can completely limit him in one-on-one training within the Borussia Dortmund team.

Having such an offensive player on the team is also good for the defender, which is why Bender joked with Lin Yi like this.

Lin Yi rarely didn't smile at his teammates, but said it very seriously.

"Come on, one-on-one, take out your most ferocious defense and see if I can withstand it."

Bender was stunned for a moment, he knew Lin Yi's problem, and he also knew that Lin Yi was actively overcoming it.

Thinking of this, he stamped his foot and walked up, "Be prepared, I won't show mercy!" ”

Lin Yi was still very serious, stepped on the ball under his feet, and prepared to start.

Because Lin is young but has outstanding strength, and his personality is not bad, these old players take good care of him.

Whether it's training or playing, his teammates are trying to meet his needs.

Especially Sven Bender, who partnered him in the midfield, actually Bender also has a certain offensive ability, but after Lin Yi came to the team, his offensive statistics have dropped to the lowest in the same period.

On the contrary, in terms of defense, the statistics are very luxurious.

In addition to the fact that he put all his energy into defense, another reason is that he has also made progress in training with Lin Yi.

Seeing Lin Yi stepping on the ball in front of him, Bender lowered his center of gravity and waited for Lin Yi to move forward.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi actually stood there and didn't move, just beckoned to him.

"Come on! Don't be subtle, just shovel me! ”

This kind of request is actually not the first time that Bender has heard Lin Yi put forward it, but every time he did it before, the final result was that Lin Yi twitched on the spot and then turned on his back.

"Are you serious?"

Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be very confident, "Of course it's serious, what?" Afraid I'll pass you? ”

Bender was very calm, and he already had the ability to resist Lin Yi's basic provocation.

Just as the two were about to start training, Klopp suddenly called off the fight between the two.

"Lin, I watched your performance in the Asian Cup, and I was a little hesitant to shoot! It's not a good style, you know? Come on, come on, haven't played in a long time? That shooting drill, again? ”

"But it's a little too challenging to shoot alone, isn't it? Sven, you come and put some pressure on him. ”

……

I don't know if Lin Yi was hit too hard in the Asian Cup and came back to break out, or Lewandowski felt ashamed of Dortmund's teammates to rediscover his potential.

All in all, after the winter break, Dortmund were in such good form that all opponents were nervous.

Augsburg and Braunschweig, not to mention the not very strong opponents, Werder Bremen and Hamburg were also defeated by these two men.

By the end of the 22nd round of the league, Lewandowski was firmly at the top of the scorer list.

And Lin Yi also relied on the assists he sent to Lewandowski to successfully top the league assist list.

Borussia Dortmund also opened up the distance between Bayern Munich and Bayern Munich in the standings with a winning record after the winter break.

Although it is only a three-point difference, it is a big advantage.

After the away win at Hamburg, Jurgen Klopp rarely failed to praise any of his players after the win.

Because he wants his players to focus all their attention and not be distracted by anything.

The next opponent, not to mention the lack of concentration, even Dortmund, who are in the best form, may not be 100% sure of beating the opponent.

After the game, they did not return to Dortmund or make any more stops in Hamburg.

After the press conference, the Dortmund players rushed straight to the airport and boarded a flight to Barcelona.

This kind of compact arrangement will naturally not be what the coach and the club want to see, but there is no way, who will let us play Barcelona away in the first round?

This schedule of two away games in four days has been seen as a disaster by Jurgen Klopp.

Fortunately, when he played against Hamburg, he also protected the physical fitness of some of the main players.

As soon as he got on the plane, Lin Yi did the most appropriate thing at the moment, he didn't even wear an eye mask, sat in his seat and buckled up his seat belt and fell asleep.

Royce sat beside him, envious of his behavior of not knowing whether to say he was big-hearted or heartless.

Klopp sat in his place, learning about Lin Yi's recent situation with the physical trainer next to him and the team's masseur.

"It seems that this kid has been training a little hard lately, maybe he wants to play in the game against Barcelona."

"But...... He's in a much better fit than we thought, you see he's tired right now, but it's just a normal physiological need and when he wakes up tomorrow he's definitely in better mental condition than the average player. ”

Klopp nodded in satisfaction.

For him now, Lin Yi's good state is equivalent to the team's good state.

In the recent training, he silently observed that Lin Yi's resistance to fierce defense seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have played so well in the league.

But his wonderful performance at Dortmund actually attracted a lot of criticism for himself.

To Klopp's surprise, these criticisms of Lin Yi, and even accusations, are all from the media and fans in Lin Yi's country.

Klopp had seen a lot of accusations about Lin Yi, some of which he could understand, and some of which he couldn't quite understand.

However, the most unacceptable thing is only a simple sentence, Lin Yi's performance is not worthy of continuing to be a Chinese.

When he first saw this sentence, Klopp thought it was a Chinese colloquialism, and there was some deviation after it was translated into German, and he specially took this to ask Lin Yi.

Lin Yi just smiled and told himself that this was neither a joke nor a misunderstanding, which was what those fans wanted to express the most.

Then Klopp looked at his disciple's expression and couldn't help but ask him again, why aren't you angry.

"I also scored a goal for the team in the game I played, and I tried my best to make changes that would benefit the team, so I seem to have a clear conscience."

Hearing this, Klopp finally didn't say anything more.

These Chinese are really strange, a few games have not been played well.

Klopp couldn't help but be a little distracted when he thought about this, and after a moment of stupefiing, he took out his tactical board.

No matter what Lin Yi's domestic fans think, I still want him to play a central role.

Against Barcelona, Jurgen Klopp made a bold decision.

And the key to this decision is Lin Yi.

If Lin Yi can live up to his expectations, then the team may not be able to win at Camp Nou.

Jurgen Klopp has already set up his starting line-up on his tactical board, which he thinks is by far the strongest in his hands.

When the plane arrived in Barcelona, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

Dortmund's players generally did not fall asleep on the plane, and they each dragged their luggage off the plane.

If it weren't for Royce always thinking about his friend, Lin Yi, who slept soundly, was almost left on the plane.

Once at the station, Jurgen Klopp told his team to rest tomorrow morning and be ready to acclimatise in the afternoon.

In fact, it is not very important to adapt to the venue when you come to Barcelona to play, and it is difficult to adapt to this kind of quality venue.

But Jurgen Klopp is very serious about this one-hour closed training session, and it is clear that he wants to set it up.

The weather in Barcelona is nice and perfect for a good game.

That was Lin's first thought as he stepped off the bus and walked into the Camp Nou.

The stadium was deserted inside, very different from the hustle and bustle outside.

Klopp was happy with the situation, and he could have carefully arranged it.

He called all the starting eleven who had already been determined to his side, and quickly compared them with the tactical board.

After making sure everyone heard their arrangements clearly, Klopp, who looked at his watch, waved everyone to hurry up and practice.

Not only is his hair getting longer and longer, but now his beard is getting thicker, and Lin Yi walked onto the court.

The turf at the Camp Nou is indeed stronger than the other teams, and both the feeling of watching the football roll and the feeling of stepping on it seems to be a little more comfortable.

Royce kicked the ball at the feet of Lin Yi, who understood what his teammates meant and quickly passed the ball to the feet of Aubameyang on the other side.

Football was passed continuously, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Linyi, Reuss and Robert Lewandowski.

It is still the four people in the front court, and they have played a lot of fruitful small cooperation by relying on the tacit understanding between each other.

Klopp nodded with satisfaction, if Lin can maintain this form on the day of the game, Barcelona really won't be able to take advantage of us.

In fact, Klopp's idea is also very simple, as long as his team can withstand Barcelona and return to his home stadium, then everything will be a different matter.

And this season, the once-strong Barcelona did not show the same dominance as in previous years.

In what Lin Yi said at the team meeting, the current Barcelona is completely relying on individual strength to play, and their head coach Argentine Martino has not let his team run a good operation at all.

So far in the season, whether it is in the league or in the Champions League, Barcelona has stumbled.

This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Klopp and Dortmund to break the myth.

At the moment, it looks like Dortmund's form is on the rise, and whatever the reason, this is a great opportunity.

Jurgen Klopp crouched on the sidelines at the Camp Nou and watched as Linyi stuffed the ball at Lewandowski's feet......

The hour-long training session was over quickly, and Dortmund didn't delay too much and immediately returned to the hotel.

At the pre-match press conference, Klopp also set up a rare team of ecstasy.

"Barcelona's attack is definitely something that no team can afford to resist and I respect this opponent, but I still hope that we can win this series."

"Yes, that's right, any player can start, and the Lin Yi you mentioned is no exception."

"Of course, any player can also be substituted, and I may also put Lin Yi on the bench and wait for him to come on in the second half to play."

After listening to Klopp's very sincere lies, the media, which still had some speculation about Dortmund's start, is now completely blinded.

And that's exactly what Klopp wants, as long as Martino's pre-match deployment is a little worse, it will be difficult for him to win.

Speaking of on-the-spot command, this Argentine seems to be a little worse than me.

Klopp's little trick had apparently worked, and Martino was scratching his head in his office.

In fact, he doesn't have too many cards in his hand, the team has been plagued by injuries this season, and I don't know if it's because of his bad luck or what, the originally stable team has always had a lot of ups and downs in this season.

The more Martino thought about it, the more hesitant he became, and the more he hesitated, the more he couldn't make a decision.

In the end, he had to turn to his assistants for help, and the decision was made with the advice of the assistants.

It's not that Martino is not assertive, it's just that since February, the team's results and form have continued to decline, which made Martino lose his way for a while.

Like him, there is also Brazilian rising star Neymar, who moved to the beginning of the season.

The Brazilian phenom with a lot of personality has not been as impressive as expected at Camp Nou this season.

There are even some European media evaluations that he is not as amazing as Lin Yi, who also joined a mainstream league club this season.

Neymar disagrees with this statement, and at this time he is holding back his strength to compete with Lin Yi. (To be continued.) )
