Chapter 461: Inch by Inch

Tuchel was in his office before answering the phone, as he also felt that the situation was not good.

To say that as a head coach, it should be a very simple thing to deal with a player, but what I met was Lin Yi, although this guy is not very old, but it is really difficult to deal with.

To say that he is not at all panicked about his current situation is also bragging, because this is his job after all.

No matter who you are, when you have a decent and well-paid job, you won't want to lose it easily, not to mention that he is not qualified for this job himself, and he got it by luck.

Tuchel stood in front of the large mirror at the door of his office, rubbing his face vigorously and adjusting his expression to make himself look slightly more normal. But he tried for a long time, but in the end it was in vain, and in the end he had to leave the office.

Just when Zorge was in a hurry to pick up the phone and ask again, Tuchel was late.

"Michelle, do you have anything to do with me?" Tuchel knows it in his heart, but he wants to get a head start.

"Oh! Sit, I do have something to tell you when I look for you, since you ask me, then let's not talk darkly. ”

Zork said this, pouring Tuchel a cup of coffee and placing it in front of his eyes.

"Regarding Lin's appearance, I think you should know very well how much the team spent in the offseason to keep him, not to mention how well he performed, just saying that he is a player who gets close to 10 million euros a year, and you know the situation of our club, that is not to just let him get his salary for nothing."

Tuchel didn't expect Zolke to have a good attitude towards him, and he didn't use any forced means to make himself have to arrange Lin Yi to start.

"Aha, Michelle, I see what you mean, I'll definitely put Lin in the squad for the next game."

As a manager, Zolke never wanted to push the manager too hard, so after listening to Tuchel's words, he did not ask whether he let Lin Yi start or substitute or sit on the field, but just nodded and said it was acceptable.

These people are creatures who like to inch inches, and Tuchel saw that Zolke did not dig deeper, and lowered his head and silently made up his mind.

Lin Yi is still training very seriously every day, but he still won't take the initiative to say anything to Tuchel.

Tuchel himself doesn't want to see him, let alone talk to him, so there is still zero communication between the two men.

Borussia Dortmund have actually started quite well, with a long schedule of fixtures at home.

This will actually help them a lot to complete the points in an inconsistent state at the beginning of the season.

To be fair, Tuchel isn't doing terribly badly at the moment, as there are so many more points in the same period than Jurgen Klopp did last year.

The match against Schalke 04 was still played at Dortmund's home stadium, and the Dortmund fans seemed to be in place an hour before the kick-off.

In the German Super Cup before the start of the season, it is no secret that Dortmund was treated at the Schalke Stadium.

Since that's what you're doing to our team, then we're going to have to use the colors as well.

Before the start of the game, when the eighteen-man squad was announced, fans were pleasantly surprised to see Lin Yi's name.

In the subsequent pre-game warm-up, Lin Yi also ran and warmed up with his teammates on the court.

Then, when he heard many people chanting his name at the scene, he also turned and shot, kicking a long-range shot from 30 meters away.

Fans are naturally excited to see Lin Yi in such a state, looking at this game, Lin Yi must be able to start, right?

But when the players of the two teams entered, the fans were disappointed again, and the first to walk in Dortmund was still No. 11 Reuss, the handsome German guy who was loved by thousands of people in Dortmund never thought that he would be disliked by the fans when he led the team.

In addition to the starters, the formation was also a "5-3-2" that made the fans sleepy, and there were three midfielders today.

Fans are different from players, they don't just want to see wins, they want to see hearty and happy wins.

This formation of five defenders does not seem to have the ability to meet their needs in this regard.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began, and then the fans found that this formation not only did not satisfy their desire for a happy victory, but at the moment, it seemed that even the desire to win could not be satisfied.

In the eighth minute, Dutch striker Huntelaar grabbed a header in front of goal, and Dortmund's three central defenders were stunned to stop it.

0-1, an undignified start, just like that came at Borussia Dortmund's home stadium, and it looked a little hard to turn around.

Reus and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have not been able to do so because they have not received sufficient support and are somewhat out of touch with the central midfield.

Coupled with Schalke 04's manager's calculations, there is a certain distance between their backline and midfield, leaving Dortmund's overstretched attacking players to face two embarrassing situations of offside and being seen to death at any time.

In this way, the trail continued until the end of the first half.

When the players had already retired from the pitch and returned to the locker room, and only the coaches of the two teams were about to go back, the West-*** stadium suddenly rang out with shrill boos and shouts.

As for who these are for, it is already obvious, because the manager of Schalke 04 has already gone back first.

Tuchel was stunned, stopped and turned his head to look at the stands, he was really interested in checking whether the boos were for himself, and he felt good about himself, and he didn't even know why the fans booed him so loudly.

Then, as the boos were heard louder, Tuchel also saw a huge banner pulled up from the stands.

"We want a captain!"

The yellow fabric and black handwriting are the colors of the Dortmund jersey and the color of the Dortmund captain's armband.

Tuchel is not stupid, he certainly understands that the captain mentioned here is specifically referring to Lin Yi.

This bastard.

Tuchel stared at the banner for a few seconds before turning back to the dressing room, where he needed to go back and calm himself.

Why is this guy so popular here?

Seeing Tuchel back in the dressing room, the fans didn't stop there.

These organized fans, in today's situation, still have unfinished performances.

"Lin Yi! Lin Yi! Lin Yi! Lin Yi! Lin Yi! ”

I don't know who commanded it, but the entire stand sounded a uniform call again, calling the name of their captain.

In the dressing room, Lin Yi was actually ready to take the initiative to say a word to Tuchel because he didn't want the team to lose like this.

Then he heard the enthusiastic shouts outside, Dortmund's dressing room has always been very well soundproofed, but this cry really reached Lin Yi's ears. After all, it was the common shout of more than 60,000 fans in the stadium.

Lin Yi had never seen such a big battle, he was a little stunned, and turned his head to look at his friend Royce.

In fact, not only Lin Yi, many stars who have been famous for a long time have never seen such a scene.

Seeing Lin Yi looking at him, Royce thought for a moment, raised his hand and pointed outside, and motioned for Lin Yi to go out and have a look.

Lin Yi didn't ask Tuchel for advice, just opened the door of the dressing room and went out.

The moment he pulled the dressing room door open, Aubameyang later said that Sven Bender, who was sitting next to him, said he didn't hear what he said.

When Lin Yi walked onto the turf, the call of the scene suddenly reached a new height.

Lin Yi actually didn't have any special sensitivity to sound, but he still heard this change in voice, if it was shouting before, then this one now should be regarded as cheering, right?

Lin Yi, who had no way to say anything to everyone, could only walk around the field and wave at these fans who were looking forward to him.

Until Ginter ran out, "Lin! Thomas told you to warm up now and get ready to play at the start of the second half. ”

Lin Yi was stunned, then overjoyed, waved at the end of the stands, and returned to the field to start warming up with a flick of his coat.

In fact, Tuchel's thoughts are not very open, don't you want Lin Yi? Good! I'm going to let him go and see if he can rewrite the game on his own?!

With this in mind, Tuchel was ruthless and made such an arrangement, replacing Lin Yi in the second half and removing Ginter.

I don't believe there is any game that can be solved by who plays! Not to mention a bastard who doesn't execute my tactics.

Before the start of the second half of the game, Lin Yi warmed up on the court until the second half of the game was about to start.

Back in the dressing room, Tuchel had already been dragged away by Kyle.

Although Kyle can't completely influence Tuchel's thoughts and make him a normal person, there are some bottom lines to be made.

For example, before the start of the second half, the last period of time belongs to the captain, and this dressing room tradition has not changed.

Lin Yi didn't mean Hull's arrangement, he didn't hear it, anyway, I won't do what you say, it doesn't matter if you listen or not.

As he was thinking so, as soon as Royce pulled his arm, Lin Yi was startled and turned his head to look at his friend.

I don't know when Royce has already untied the captain's armband on his left arm, and at this time he is tying Lin Yi's arm.

"Huh! Other! You didn't get off the field, so you still wear it, do you have this thing and don't delay me from playing, don't bother. ”

Royce didn't speak, but showed his inner firmness with his actions.

In the end, Lin Yi did not resist Royce, and could only let him tie the captain's armband neatly to his left arm.

After such a toss, a little more time passed in the short time, and the staff had already knocked on the door to urge the Dortmund players to prepare to play, but no one moved in the entire locker room, and everyone was looking at Lin Yi, waiting for him to say something.

"Time is pressing, so I won't say more. Go on the pitch and beat them up so they know who is on home and who is the dominant player in the Ruhr area. It's as simple as that, win them. ”

After Lin Yi said this plainly, he was not domineering, and he didn't even have an exclamation point when he typed it into words.

After saying this, Lin Yi didn't even look to see if his players were affected by him, so he turned around and opened the door.

Schalke 04's captain was not their striker Huntelaar, but Germany international Hevedes, the defender who once fought until he fainted at the World Cup.

When he walked into the player's tunnel, he happened to take a photo with Lin Yi, and he was stunned when he saw the long-lost Bundesliga Golden Boot and assist king last season.

"Huh? Up? He was also an acquaintance, and he chatted with Lin Yi.

"yes. Up, ready to win this game. Lin Yi's answer was understated, but the tone was unquestionable.

"Then it's up to you to see if you can get past me." Hevedes also don't want to lose momentum at this time, especially since their opponents are still Borussia Dortmund.

"Huh? Aren't you a defender? I don't necessarily have to get past you, I just have to hit the ball into the goal. ”

As he spoke, Lin glanced at Farman, the last to come out of the Schalke locker room.

Hevedes didn't want to continue to say anything more to Lin Yi, because they all understood that it was difficult to gain the upper hand with this Chinese trash talk and the like.

"Don't forget, you're still one goal behind. Let's chase it back first. ”

"Soon, don't worry. Your eagerness makes me feel like you don't want to win at all. ”

After Lin Yi finished saying the last sentence, he lowered his head and walked out of the player's tunnel.

In fact, in the second half of the game, there are no special requirements, sequences and ceremonies for admission.

But on Dortmund's side, everyone followed behind Lin Yi in an orderly manner, letting their captain be the first to walk out of the players' tunnel.

Although the fans had already seen the fourth official's announcement, when they saw Lin Yi walking onto the court, they couldn't help but burst into terrifying cheers again.

Lin Yi, who walked to the middle circle and was about to kick off, did not have much interaction with the fans this time, and after the overtake, there was a chance.

"Huh? Is Tuchel finally willing to change his formation? After Ginter got off the field, the person who came out became Lin Yi, which should be regarded as a '4-3-3', but this formation may be a little disconnected because there are three midfielders. ”

Zhang Lu and Duan Xuan analyzed it like this, which made many fans feel a little worried.

Lin Yi had actually noticed these a long time ago, and before he was ready to kick off, he specially arranged Weigel and Castro who played today.

"You two press forward, don't always defend in the back, don't you think it's boring in this game if you just defend and don't attack? What's more, don't forget that we are still one goal behind, and the defense can't defend the lost goal. ”

"Especially you, Julian. Rush forward, I've watched you several times, and I've been idle and idle in the backfield, and I don't go on. ”

"The coach won't let me." Weigel explained this to the captain, whom he had great respect.

"Are you waiting for him to let me? You wait for him to arrange for us to attack, and we will be exported in all three games. Listen to me, and rush forward when you have the chance. ”

If it had been before, Castro might have been a little critical of what Lin Yi said about Tuchel, but as time went on, he finally realized that there were some things that he couldn't do without admitting.

For example, their manager, Tuchel, who is also very good to him, may not be as good as the captain in front of him, who is much younger than him, in terms of tactics and desire to win.

"Isn't it just a ball behind, just give them a little excitement at the beginning."

Lin once again brushed his hair behind his ears and kicked away the football in the center circle.
