Chapter 459: The Killer of the Weak Team and the Sending Boy of the Strong Team
The next day was the last training session for Borussia Dortmund before the ninth round of the league.
When Thomas Tuchel announced his squad for the next day's home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Aubameyang discovered that it was not only his two brothers who were crazy, but Thomas Tuchel who was the first to go crazy.
I don't know if it was the previous three consecutive wins that gave Tuchel supreme confidence, or whether he was contemptuous of Borussia Mönchenchen from the bottom of his heart.
In short, against opponents who are currently third in the league and only one point behind Borussia Dortmund, Tuchel not only did not arrange Lin Yi to start, but also did not even put Lin Yi in their squad.
After announcing the squad, Tuchel turned his head to look at Lin Yi at the front of the team rather defiantly.
found that Lin Yi didn't seem to care about this at all, and he didn't even look at himself at the moment, and was talking to Royce on the other side.
Tuchel gritted his teeth secretly, I see how long you can calm down.
Borussia Mönchengladbach have been in good form in recent years, finishing runners-up in the Bundesliga last season after Borussia Dortmund's malfunction, and although this runner-up is never remembered, it still highlights Borussia Mönchengladbach's quality.
However, Tuchel is still very persistent in adopting his usual tactical style of play.
Just like Lin Yi said to Aubameyang and Reus in private, when Jurgen is here, our record may also be unstable, but Jurgen will never be soft in the game of a strong team, he has his own set of ideas and tactical ideas. Thomas Tuchel is different, though, as he seems to be good at playing against a weak team, but once he plays against a strong team, he immediately reveals his true form. Such a situation directly determines the ceiling gap between these two coaches.
As time passed, the two of them understood more and more the meaning of what Lin Yi said. That's really the way it is.
The match against Borussia Mönchengladbach was played in the evening, and since the start of the 2015-2016 season, I don't know why, it suddenly rained more in Germany, as if it was raining before the start of the game.
Lin Yi didn't mind this, because he didn't make it to the list today, so he didn't go to the scene at all.
Therefore, the beautiful scenery that is very fixed in the stands of West-*** did not appear.
Eva snuggled in Lin Yi's arms, and the two of them sat on their sofa watching TV.
"You...... Do you want to leave? Eva rubbed Lin Yi's chin with her hair and suddenly asked.
Lin Yi shook his head gently, "No." I'd like to be able to make a difference here, and that's the only way to break through. ”
"Breakthrough? What breakthrough do you want to achieve? Eva stopped watching TV and looked up at Lin Yi's face.
The two of them are now like an old husband and wife, and they seem to talk about daily problems every day, and it seems that they have not talked about this kind of topic about life, ideals and the future for a long time.
"Breakthrough? Like what...... Golden Globe Awards or something, does this count? Lin Yi looked at her with a smile, but his tone was very serious.
"Absolutely. But do you think you want to win the Golden Globe? It's not easy, is it? ”
"Of course it's not easy, otherwise what is the value and significance of the Golden Globe Award?" Lin Yi stroked Eva's hair and smiled.
"You can see that most of the best superstars in the world are in La Liga, and the two best are Cristiano at Real Madrid and Leo at Barcelona. As for the Golden Globe Awards, they have always been monopolized by the two of them. No matter how good Gareth and Neymar are, including Luis Suarez and Iniesta, the likes of top superstars, can't snatch the Ballon d'Or from them. Therefore, the best way to win the Ballon d'Or is not to win with them, but to ...... Defeat them. ”
"First of all, I want to say what I think about the best superstars in the world, one of them is in Dortmund." Speaking of this, Eva tightened her arm that hooked Lin Yi's neck, and then said: "However, if you want to beat them, you can also go to some other teams, such as Bayern Munich, or Manchester United?" ”
"That's the second question. Like I told Marco before, no one says Dortmund can't win the Champions League. In fact, I have always felt that with the team's current combination and squad, as long as the game is reasonable, there is hope for the Champions League. This kind of cup competition is different from the league, every game or series of cups is a new beginning, the test is not only hard power but also explosiveness, really speaking of explosiveness, I think Dortmund will not be inferior to any giants. I can't guarantee that I can help Borussia Dortmund win the league title, but as long as everyone plays well, I don't think the Champions League is the exclusive game of the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid, as many people think. ”
Eva obviously didn't expect Lin Yi's evaluation of Dortmund to be so high, in fact, Lin Yi himself forgot when he suddenly felt that he saw infinite possibilities in the Dortmund team.
"So, I'm going to try to stay here and win something."
"Good! I'm with you. ”
……
When the two of them were here, the game on the field had already started as scheduled.
If Borussia Mönchengladbach wants to talk about personnel, it must not be configured by Dortmund.
But just like the explosiveness of the team mentioned by Lin Yi before, Mönchen is also very capable.
One of the best things an opponent with this kind of explosiveness can do is to be able to defeat the strong with the weak, or to take down the key opponent.
Because of Tuchel's tactical arrangement, Dortmund's current stable two-striker combination has become more adept at attacking from the flanks Reus and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and the core of the midfield is generally Shinji Kagawa, who has had a very pleasant experience with Reus and Gotze.
The only thing that has changed is the combination of the two midfielders, for some reason, Sven Bender, who helped the team win the league title, is not very good for Tuchel's eyes, plus the ups and downs of Shaheen and Gundogan's form and injuries, the young youngster Weigel has been given a lot of opportunities.
The young midfielder, who was also favored by Lin Yi as soon as he joined the team, seems to be improving rapidly.
Whether it's offensive or defensive, it's done well. In many cases, long-range shots from behind the foot and precise long balls can also create a lot of opportunities for Dortmund. The defensive end of the card position and supplementary defense also have a certain level.
In today's game, he was the starter.
However, compared to the stability of the midfield, there are many problems at the back.
Whether it is Subotic or Ginter, Papastathopoulos or even World Champion Hummels, there have been very ups and downs in the past two seasons, especially Hummels, whose performance has been like a roller coaster.
It's no wonder that there are always rumours that Pep Guardiola has been contacting Hummels in the hope that Hummels can join Bayern Munich.
There are even people who broke the news that Hummels will move to Bayern Munich after the end of this season to join his national team partner Jérôme Boateng.
Of course, these are just rumors, and they have neither been confirmed nor anything substantial.
At the moment, Hummels is still on the pitch, suffering from Tuchel's brain-dead tactics.
He was joined today by Ginter and Subotic, with their old partner Piszczek on the right and South Korean defender Park Joo Ho, nicknamed "Tuchel's godson" by Lim Il. The goalkeeper is Australian Langerak.
Borussia Mönchengladbach is a star, and I'm afraid there really isn't any player who can be counted.
But the key problem is that it is such a team composed of ordinary players, but the effect is very gratifying.
In Lin Yi's view, this is the ability of coach Borussia Mönchengladbach, just like Klopp before, who also has this ability.
At the beginning, Dortmund may be similar to Borussia Mönchengladbach, and there are no big-name stars.
But what about later? Under Klopp's cultivation, Shinji Kagawa, Gotze, Lewandowski, Reus, Hummels, and even those who have just come here and are worried about whether they can be accepted by the team, one player after another have grown up.
Looking at Tuchel now, it would be better to let him be relegated with his godson, that would be the best place for him.
Tuchel didn't know that Lin Yi, who had not been there at all, was actually thinking about himself at home.
Tuchel was very happy not to see Lin Yi, after all, every time he was on the spot, there was always someone behind him who looked at you coldly with a mocking gaze, a feeling that most people don't like.
In fact, Tuchel himself couldn't figure out why a player like Lin Yi would put so much pressure on himself.
Without Lin Yi at the moment, Tuchel feels he can let go of his hands and feet. It's a pity that before he could make a move, Borussia Mönchengladbach gave him a stick. Ten minutes into the game, Kramer won the ball in midfield, and with a decisive overhead through-the-top stopper, the ball flew over the entire Dortmund backline, and then Stindl slotted home from the follow-up straight into the net.
1-0, just when Tuchel was still thinking that it would be nice to play without Lin Yi, the cruel reality suddenly sobered him up.
Stindl ran back to hug his team-mate and celebrated his goal with great enthusiasm.
Langlak was a little helpless, because the opponent's attack was too fast, and he also reminded Hummel that when he watched Stindall, this guy had already received the football.
Lin Yi, who was watching the game on the couch with Eva, blinked, "Look." I said it would be so. And one of the things that makes our great coach particularly strong is that when he gets to the headwinds, he forgets what he should be doing. ”
Tuchel hadn't forgotten it all, as he was still chattering about his players.
Kyle, who had calmed him down in the past, now had no hope for him, and sat in his seat in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.
Royce spat the field, this feeling of playing football is really disgusting.
In fact, all professional players, in addition to having some talent and ability than ordinary people, also have a lot of love for football, whether it is Lin Yi or Royce, for them playing football on the field is a hobby and hobby.
Reuss had never felt the same way to kick the ball to his own disgust, even if he had won a dozen games a season when he was at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Aubameyang looked at his friend in front of him, "Or else?" Let's do it ourselves again? ”
Reus shook his head, "If you want me to say, let's quickly think of a way to do it for Tuchel, I have played with Lin Yi for two seasons, and now without him, it's really uncomfortable." ”
Aubameyang nodded, "You're okay, but you also worked with Shinji Kagawa, and Gonzalo is also a teammate of the national team." Look at me, I've been partnering with Lin Yi since I joined the team, and now it's really fucking awkward to change this way. ”
There was no time for the two to say anything more, as the referee had already signaled that they could kick off.
Borussia Dortmund's back five look very weak when they are behind, because their defenders are not like Pique and Ramos, who can even push into the box when it comes to crunch time.
In the face of a team like Borussia Mönchenchen, the most important thing to pay attention to is not to let them go crazy, but now Dortmund obviously has no defense against this, Kramer and Herman pressed on the front of Dortmund's penalty area and bombarded indiscriminately, not to mention, even Toni Janzik dared to press up and shoot a long shot.
Lin Yi touched his nose, "This game, it's over again, I said it a long time ago, this waste doesn't have the ability to play a strong team at all." When he fights two rounds of stronger opponents in a row, then his last fig leaf will be completely torn off. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Yi suddenly picked up his mobile phone and checked the schedule, and sure enough, his memory was not wrong.
It seems that this great and wonderful moment is coming, because the tenth round of the Bundesliga will usher in the "Ruhr derby", Dortmund hosts the visiting Schalke 04, a team that is still in the middle of the table.
I don't know if Lin Yi's curse is too powerful, or Tuchel's level is too poor, in short, Lin Yi actually said a prophecy.
In the ninth round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund's winning streak was once again ended, and it was at their home stadium, with a big defeat.
Borussia Mönchengladbach, who scored six goals and kept a clean sheet against his opponents, also jumped from third to second in the league, chasing Bayern Munich who still haven't lost even a point after nine rounds.
Dortmund fell directly to fourth in the league because of this defeat and goal difference.
It can be said that it is very miserable.
