Chapter 458: I think you both must be crazy

When Royce, who had lost the game, walked off the court, he didn't know what he was muttering.

When he passed Tuchel, he didn't even look at Tuchel, who reached out to give him a high-five.

Tuchel was left hanging out there, and it was very embarrassing for a while.

In the end, it was the "Chilean Engineer" who came to the rescue of his opponent.

"It was a very good game."

Manuel Pellegrini said as he shook Tuchel's hand.

Tuchel just felt he wanted to be hung out there because he couldn't see anything going on in this game.

Borussia Dortmund's performance has been disastrous, with no indication that they also beat Manchester United to win the Europa League last season.

"Keep up the good work, the opponent behind is not very strong, if you play well, it shouldn't be a big problem to join hands to qualify."

After throwing this sentence, Peigong turned to the court, after all, his players were still celebrating the opening victory.

Tuchel looked at his hand, shook his head vigorously and turned back to the dressing room that didn't seem to belong to him.

Everyone in the locker room gathered around captain Lin Yi, although Lin Yi did not play at all in the game.

"Marko, if you had a little bit of crosshairs in your shot today, we wouldn't have lost so shamefully."

Tuchel didn't hear what Lin Yi had said before, but he only heard Lin Yi accusing Reuss.

Yes, shame, the score of this game may not seem to be related to the word, but it is exactly what happened.

From start to finish, Dortmund were very embarrassed by Manchester City, and at half-time, they even had only one shot on goal.

It was exactly what Lin Yi said, Royce hit a very inaccurate kick, and Royce ran forty meters alone at that time.

"I wanted to be a bit of a crosshair, but the previous 40 meters, I was so tired from rushing that my legs were weak when I shot."

"But this is the tactical task assigned to you by our coach, what can you do?" Lin Yi said lightly.

Tuchel, who had just walked into the dressing room, couldn't help but stop when he heard this, because he heard a very obvious mockery, even contempt, from Lin Yi's words.

"It's normal for a manager to play like this for the first time in the Champions League, you can't expect anyone to be Pep Guardiola, and you can see that our manager certainly doesn't have that kind of talent."

"Enough!" Tuchel heard Lin Yi's words again, and his anger jumped.

He strode into the locker room and came to the well-dressed Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi didn't appear, so he also saved taking a bath.

"What do you mean by that?" Tuchel looked at Lin Yi angrily and questioned him loudly.

"It's literal, your coaching level and talent are a certain gap compared to Guardiola."

Tuchel thought that Lin Yi would have some restraint when he said this in front of him, but unfortunately Lin Yi let him down.

It's like his arrangement and lineup arrangement again and again, which has been disappointing Lin Yi.

Tuchel was about to say a few more words to Lin when the press officer walked in and asked him out for a post-match press conference.

Lin Yi had no intention of going out with him, not only that, but perhaps because of the negative emotional impact of this loss, even the captain of the field, Royce, who had always taken care of his position as a head coach, did not stand up and go out with him.

Thinking about the result of the game, Tuchel ended up following the press officer to Manchester City's press room.

In the dressing room, the atmosphere seemed to be a little awkward because of Tuchel's sudden return, which broke the conversation between Lin Yi and Reus or the rest of the team, and Lin Yi, the initiator of all this, didn't seem to feel this way, sitting on the side and fiddling with his mobile phone.

Because it was a Champions League match day, there were still many games going on at the same time, and Lin subconsciously looked at the other giants.

Defending champions Barcelona beat Copenhagen 3-0. There must be no suspense, the key is that all three goals in this game were scored by Messi alone, and it seems that after they won the championship last season, the Argentine king did not relax in the slightest.

Bayern Munich, 5-0 defeated Zenit St. Petersburg, this is also a game with no suspense, after all, there is a huge disparity in strength.

Lin Yi flipped all the way down, looked at it and was suddenly stunned, Real Madrid, lost 0-2 at home to visiting Anderlecht?

Really? It can't be funny, right? As soon as Lin thought so, he turned on the news, and when he saw it, it was really true.

'Rafael Benitez's side are clearly in a difficult situation right now, with the gap between them and Barcelona not being filled in the league and a bit of a poor performance in the Champions League, which obviously does not live up to Florentino's expectations.

It's miserable. Lin Yi shook his head and sighed while watching, coaching giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona is really not something ordinary people can do.

Tuchel is being questioned and tormented by the media at the moment as he lost the Champions League.

"Mr Tuchel, why didn't you schedule a start for today's game?"

"Do you think the passivity of today's game from beginning to end has a lot to do with Lin Yi's lack of appearance?"

'Mr Tuchel, we've taken a look at the slightly stronger opponents you've faced this season, except for the game against Bayern Munich, where Lin started and helped the team to victory, you don't seem to have a good result.

"May I ask the coach, why did Lin Yi, as the captain of the team, miss key games again and again?"

"Yes! Coach Tuchel, tell me about it! Did Lin Yi already reach an agreement with any other club to leave during the winter break, so you arranged your tactics in the hope of completing a smooth transition? ”

Tuchel's brain buzzed when he was asked, and he suddenly wanted to silence the scene for a while, and then somehow he got to his feet in a fit of excitement.

"I ...... I ......"

"Huh! Coach Tuchel, what's wrong with you? "Suddenly the entire press room was in chaos.

Tuchel, who had been questioned by reporters for a few minutes, looked like he was ready to answer the reporters' questions, but who would have thought that as soon as he stood up and said twice, the whole person fainted. Dortmund's press officer was also taken aback, and he rushed out and grabbed Tuchel, who had fallen in his chair and was still trying to slide down, so that he did not fall directly to the ground.

"Thomas?! Thomas? Are you okay? The press officer shouted as he shook Tuchel.

"Excuse me! That's probably the end of today's press conference, so I'm sorry to all of you, but we'll have our own press conference later after Coach Tuchel recovers and we'll be answering your questions, goodbye. ”

Dortmund's press officer was also very experienced, and after dealing with everyone in this way, the other field staff who came to help him got Tuchel out.

Journalists who had little interest in the game were all intrigued by Tuchel this time, and all of a sudden everyone was eagerly awaiting the press conference that Dortmund's press officer had said.

Unfortunately they didn't wait this time, as Dortmund's press conference was delayed and Thomas Tuchel was not seen again.

In the three days since this game, it seems that Dortmund's side has suddenly fallen into a state of collective silence.

Players to officials, coaching staff to management, not only did they not give interviews to the media, they didn't even show their heads in front of the media.

When Tuchel was once again in front of the media and the public, it was already at the press conference ahead of the sixth round of the Bundesliga.

This time, the reporters also expressed a certain degree of human concern, "Mr Tuchel, your sudden fainting at the last press conference could not have been a problem, right?" ”

"I'm sorry guys, but before that day's game, it was my physical condition that wasn't very good, so I was in that situation at the press conference, I'm very sorry, you can ask questions about that game now, and I will answer them as appropriate."

Tuchel thought everyone had forgotten about that defeat, but as soon as his words fell, it seemed that the sixth round of the Bundesliga had lost its appeal, and everyone turned their attention back to that game.

In the end, Tuchel only gave a reply to one question, but both the fans and the media seemed satisfied.

"As for the reason why our captain Lin Yi did not start or play, I think this should be the most curious for everyone, and I can also give you an explanation here, that is, Lin Yi's current competitive state is not very good, and I think he needs to adjust for a while. So in the next games, I may not schedule him to start for many games. I know how much people love him and what he has done to the team in previous seasons, but as the manager of a team, I still say that everyone needs to sacrifice for the team, and the most important thing for the team is the results. That's why I made this arrangement, and I know that the reason why everyone misses Lin Yi is because of the team's poor record recently, and we are making adjustments to this point, hoping to show a new look of our team in the shortest possible time. ”

Tuchel said this without changing his face and heartbeat, as if he had forgotten that Lin Yi had scored three goals in yesterday's intra-squad training match.

Lin and Tuchel haven't spoken since the last conversation, which wasn't what was an argument in the dressing room.

Tuchel apparently wanted Lin Yi to apologize to him, but Lin Yi didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

However, Tuchel is not in a hurry, he does not believe that Lin Yi, as the captain of the team, can really endure so many games without playing.

At the very least, I can hide you for three rounds, and then see if you can hold back.

There is no other special reason why Tuchel has such confidence, it is just that the opponents in the sixth, seventh and eighth rounds of the league are not very strong.

Whether it is Bochum, who is promoted, Bremen, who are gradually declining, and Cologne, who have not performed well this season, he has not paid attention to it.

Let's see which of us is more patient, right? Tuchel thought to himself.

His calculations proved to be good, and against Bochum, despite the fact that neither Reus nor Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored, or even acted a little negatively, they won thanks to Shinji Kagawa's long-range goal and Hummels' header.

In the next game against Bremen, Reus and Aubameyang, who were negative in the previous round, don't know if they were stimulated by something or what happened, in short, these two people relied on their individual ability to score four goals in this game.

Then Cologne, Gonzalo Castro, who Tuchel has always regarded as his own, scored twice and won again.

After three wins in a row, some fans seem to have forgotten about the captain they were talking about.

At the end of eight rounds, the team is in second place, only behind Bayern Munich, who have won all eight rounds. That's a good result.

And Lin Yi, who has been sitting on the bench, doesn't seem to have any burden because the team doesn't seem to need him.

Because of the negative game in the sixth round, his two brothers, who were called to his home by Lin Yi after the game and counted down for more than half an hour, couldn't figure out what Lin Yi was thinking.

If we don't play well, the team will lose sooner or later, and only when you lose will you have a chance to play.

This is what Royce said to Lin Yi very seriously when he was in Lin Yi's house.

Lin Yi heard this, but he just smiled, "We are professional players." At the very least, there should be a bit of professionalism. The conflict between me and Tuchel is not just because I have a problem with his tactics, but also because of the earlier conflict between the two of us, and he has a big problem with me. Otherwise, which new manager have you ever seen who doesn't talk to the captain? ”、

"So, we are probably destined to have one of us leave, but I hope it doesn't affect Dortmund anyway."

Royce and Aubameyang were a little incredulous when they heard Lin Yi's words, this kid's ideological consciousness is very good.

"If he doesn't let me play in the 10th round, I'm going to talk to Michelle and ask him if there's any place for me in the team's plans, if not. Why don't you just let me go comfortably and go to a place where I can play, and if there is, I hope he will re-examine the value of me and Tuchel and the situation. ”

"What if ......"

Aubameyang asked bluntly, but halfway through the conversation, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Lin Yi blinked, "You don't think that the teams that contacted me have already given up, right?" All I can tell you is that if Zolke really let me go, I will definitely make him regret it for the rest of his life. ”

Royce and Aubameyang glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that this guy, who usually always laughed with them, was not necessarily less scheming in reality than on the court, but he didn't play tricks on them.

"You guys just play well, and if I stay here, I don't want us to dig too big a hole in the early stage, because it really can't be filled. In fact, this year, we have a very good opportunity in the league. Lin Yi finally said this.

"I think he must be crazy, Bayern Munich have won all eight rounds, where is the chance?"

When leaving Lin Yi's house, Aubameyang couldn't help but say this to Royce.

Royce spread his hands, "Who knows?" But I think he still has a little bit of a point. ”

"I think you two must be crazy."

Aubameyang muttered something as he walked back to his home.
