Chapter 247: Convincing Klopp's starters

Borussia Dortmund's players don't have time to think so much about Lin Yi's personal affairs, because there is still a league ahead. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As I said before, you can't have the slightest slack against a team like Bayern Munich.

Although Hoffenheim is not a strong team, Dortmund still has enough respect for this team.

In order to deal with them, Klopp did not even choose to give Lin Yi a rotational break.

Of course, Lin Yi himself is very happy to play more in the game, after all, a few more passes and assists can give Eva a more weighty birthday gift.

On the day of arrival at Hoffenheim, Dortmund did not go to the away stadium for a stamping and warm-up, but chose to rest.

Lin Yi, who had eaten lunch, was about to go to play billiards with his teammates, but he didn't expect his plan to be disrupted by a phone call.

This call was definitely unexpected and unreasonable for Lin Yi, so he was still a little puzzled when he picked up the phone.

As if he had just learned to speak, he hesitated and slurred a syllable, "Mom?" ”

The voice on the other end of the phone was as calm as ever, "What? I haven't seen you for so long, and I don't even want to call my mother? ”

"Not really, I just didn't expect you to call me."

"I'm your mother! Does it still seem strange for a mother to call her son? ”

Lin Yi's tone seemed to be very cold, "After all, I haven't spoken on the phone for so long, so it still feels strange to say it." ”

There seemed to be some silence on the other end of the phone, and after a moment of hesitation, there was a follow-up speech.

"What's going on with that girl?"

"As you can see, my current girlfriend, a French girl, Eva Zola, is beautiful and generous, and can help me in my career."

"Your career? Is it football? ”

"Maybe it's not something I can do for the rest of my life, but it's at least something I'm passionate about."

Lin Yi's mother seemed to be a little uncomfortable with her son's tone, and there was silence for a while, "If you have time, let's go back to China and have a look." ”

"As much as possible." Lin Yi's answer was concise and to the point, and it didn't seem like he was going to say anything more.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi's expression was a little lost, he raised his legs, how good would it be if Jurgen let us step on the field today......

The gossip about Lin Yi's girlfriend continues, and with the help of some media, there is even a trend of intensification.

In such an environment, it is somewhat surprising that the parties remain silent.

This is the surprise of Klini, who is now only fully committed to the league game against Hoffenheim, and has not said anything else.

Borussia Dortmund's players are no surprise and their number 10 seems to be the same for the media and the news.

And Hoffenheim, on the other hand, actually has an expectation for this Chinese.

It looks like he's being bothered by some personal matters, but if that's the case, is there going to be some aberrations in the game?

This kind of thinking is not only shared by opponents, but also by one's own people.

Seeing Lin Yi pass the ball out of bounds, Klopp finally couldn't help but call off the training match.

"Lin! Tell me, what are you trying to convey with such a pass? ”

Lin Yi, who was named by the coach, replied without changing his face, "Nothing, just a kick." ”

For Lin Yi's honesty, Klopp only felt a headache, you can even cover it up.

Hoffenheim is not a very strong opponent either, otherwise let Lin rest and recuperate?

After weighing this for a long time, Klopp finally gave up on this plan.

It seems that it is the winter break, and Lin is not taken seriously in the national team, so let's rest during that time.

Lin Yi, who is in the spotlight in the eyes of many people, actually doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with the current situation.

Just like Lin Yi said to Royce in private, "Even if it's just a simple meal, as professional players, we may be sent to the headlines, but what the media and reporters say, how can we change our normal life?" ”

Arthur, who is called an agent but doesn't have any status in fact, also called Lin Yi at the right time and asked him if he needed help, but listening to Lin Yi's usual tone, he immediately regretted his enthusiasm.

Just in these days, there have been many versions of Eva's identity evolving.

Some say that she was sent by the French Football Association to **** Lin Yi, and there are also that she is a third-level star, in addition, there are many theories.

Lin Yi was actually a little angry about this, and Eva told Lin Yi very calmly that she didn't care if they guessed.

Fast forward two days and Dortmund's away game against Hoffenheim is about to kick off.

Jurgen Klopp opted for a squad that was not the strongest, but the most suitable for Hoffenheim.

is still led by Lin Yi, and Aubameyang, who has received the true biography of his idol, has once again been given the opportunity to rest.

In this game, Lin Yi's position is even stranger.

One look at the starters and one can sense that Klopp's arrangement is somewhat unusual.

There are four people in the front, Hoffman on the left, Reus on the right, Mehitaryan in the front, and Lin Yi in the remaining one......

At the beginning, Lin Yi actually refused to let the coach let him play as a center forward.

However, Klopp dispelled Lin Yi's doubts in one sentence, "Anyway, you don't defend, and you are all-round in attack, which position in the front court is not the same?" ”

Before the start of the game against Hoffenheim, Lin Yi deliberately practiced shooting for half an hour in training.

Before the game started, Klopp told Lin Yi not to put any pressure on him, but Lin Yi just smiled and didn't say anything.

It wasn't until the game started that Klopp understood why Lin Yi was just smiling at himself.

Dare to love this kid is laughing at me? He wanted me to know that he didn't feel any pressure.

In the opening 12 minutes, Lin Yi, who retreated to the outside of the penalty area, played his instinct as a midfielder, turned around and picked up a pass after receiving the ball, and Reuss, who was inserted from outside the penalty area, volleyed to help the team take the lead.

After completing this wonderful assist, Lin Yi seems to have officially adapted to the feeling of being a striker.

After receiving the ball at the top of the box, he shook off the Hoffenheim defender with a simple feint and slotted home with a straight shot.

Then Klopp understood that this guy Lin seemed to be able to take on all the tasks he could think of in the attack.

After shaking off the duffle in the box, he fired a shot with minimal leg swing to send the ball into Hoffenheim's goal again.

At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 3-0, and Klopp naturally replaced Lin Yi.

It's just that the reason for replacing Lin Yi is a little different from what he thought before the game, before the game, he was actually mentally prepared for Lin Yi's lack of success in the first half, and also kept his back hand, so that Lewandowski, who had more rest, came out to fight the fire in the second half.

However, judging from the substitutions of Klopp in the second half, it is clear that he has no more expectations for this game.

As the old saying goes: unintentionally planted willows in the shade.

Dukesch, whose performance since the beginning of the season can only be said to be decent, came off the bench in the second half and actually scored two goals in a row, helping the team finally win 5-0 This bone that does not look hard, but it is not easy to gnaw at all.

Lin Yi, who had two shots and one pass, naturally became the best player of the game after the game, and he did not accept an interview with the media with this trophy that seemed to him useless, but quickly turned around and returned to the locker room.

This lukewarm treatment has only made the media more concerned about his private life, and some even want to find out more about Klopp in the post-match press conference.

For these pointless questions, Klopp sensibly chose to look left and right, and in the end, in order to divert the attention of the media, he even revealed the squad that will be arranged for the next league game against Hertha Berlin.

As the last game of the first half, the game against Hertha Berlin still received a lot of attention.

If Dortmund can manage to take down their opponents, then they will win the halfway title.

Although this half-marathon championship is just a false name, it has an unspeakable impact on morale and preparation for the second half of the season.

And in recent years, almost all teams that have won the Bundesliga halfway have won the final league title.

The game is to be played at Borussia Dortmund's home stadium and Jurgen Klopp has already set up a starting line-up.

To his surprise, Lin Yi, who finally got the opportunity to take a turn break, actually expressed his rare desire to get a starting opportunity.

For the sake of the team, Klopp actually wanted Lin Yi to get a good rest during the winter break.

None of the Dortmund players knew what Lin Yi had said to the manager, but he managed to convince the manager in just two minutes of conversation.

Lin Yi got his wish to make the starting line-up for the halfway game of the league, and this time he returned to his most familiar position.

Hertha Berlin is not a strong team either, and the league ranking is not as high as Hoffenheim, who were beaten by Borussia Dortmund before, but Lin Yi showed unprecedented enthusiasm in the match against them.

Even Duan Xuan and Zhang Lu, who commented on the game that day, were a little surprised and said that Lin Yi's state today was not like playing against the team at the bottom of the league rankings, but like playing the final of the Champions League.

Just three minutes into the opening game, Lin Yi's breakthrough caused a yellow card for the opponent.

Lin Yi's free-kick went around the wall and with a fall, jumping very precisely into the far bottom corner of the goal.

But Hertha Berlin's goalkeeper also helped like a god, not only judging the fall of Lin Yi's shot, but also firmly pressing the football under him.

Lin Yi, who has always been pampered on the court, was not shocked by the ball, and the expression on his face actually twitched obviously after the ball was saved.

Aubameyang, who was sitting on the sidelines, patted Lewandowski, "Hey! Look at it, facial paralysis actually has an expression! It seems that he must have a plan for this game! Otherwise, how could you be so serious! ”

Lewandowski also nodded approvingly, "I feel the same way, if you don't explain it like that, his performance today is really abnormal!" ”

The two of them were discussing here, and Lin Yi on the field was performing more actively than before.

Lewandowski turned his head to look at the stands, "Could it be that their national team manager is watching him from the stands?" Hasn't he always been unhappy with his performance in the national team? ”

"In that case, I think it's more about the defensive attitude than the offensive side."

Both men are confused, each making speculations that may or may not be close to the truth.

Lin Yi on the field didn't know what his teammates and fans were thinking, and there was only one thing he wanted to do now, and that was to score goals.

Before the game, he had already said hello to Royce, who was starting with him today, as well as Dukesch and Kuba, and all three of them were doing their best to help him with the ball.

I don't know if it was his bad luck or if the opponent was targeting him, in the first half he had a total of four shots on goal and all hit the goal, but the number of goals was still zero, but Dukesch, who had been helping him with the ball, scored a goal through a supplementary shot after he couldn't score.

At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 1-0, and the fans of both teams were delighted.

Borussia Dortmund fans believe their side have a one-goal advantage and won't concede three points easily.

Tenacious Hertha Berlin fans believe their side are only one goal behind and have hope of catching up or even overtaking.

Time passed minute by minute, Klopp looked at Lin Yi who was still running a little nervously, this kid is really unlucky, he has such strong footwork, and he can't score a goal at such a juncture.

Lin Yi, who controlled the football, tried to get rid of the opponent while looking at Hertha Berlin's goal anxiously.

Enter one! How could it be that not a single goal could go in.

Reus and Kuba, including Shaheen and Gundogan behind him, have started to brainlessly play for him, but he is still struggling to make any gains.

Lin Yi broke through again and was blocked, and the fans at the scene booed.

Naturally, this is not for their core, but for the opposing players and referees, who think that this ball should be given a free kick anyway.

Lin Yi, who was a little anxious, found the referee theory, and opened his mouth to say, "Big brother!" What are you looking at? He's foul! At least it's a free kick! ”

The referee was not used to Lin Yi, not only did not award a free kick, but also gave Lin Yi a yellow card directly on the backhand.

Klopp was also a little anxious when he saw this scene, and called Lin Yi's name loudly, wanting to call him over and ask for a few words.

Lin Yi heard the head coach's shout and also saw the yellow card in front of him.

These are all things that should add fuel to the fire, making him more emotionally unstable and anxious.

However, under these stimuli, Lin Yi actually gritted his teeth and calmed down.

He stood in the middle of the room, patting himself on the chest.

Remember, you are going to score a goal and give Eva as a gift, not to cause trouble on the field and cause your team to lose, calm. There is still time, and there is also opportunity. (To be continued.) )
