Chapter 297: Talent
A team that barely attacked the corners, and even if their genius Mario Gotze didn't play, Dortmund's attack couldn't keep Jena up.
It's just that Jena's crumbling line of defense just doesn't fall.
Not because of how tenacious their defenders are, how hard they run and how hard they move, and not because of the willpower of the Jena players.
It's simple, because they have Ye Xin.
Jurgen Klopp looked at Ye Xin who was swooping left and right in front of Jena's goal, and the idea of buying Ye Xin once again came to his heart, and it had never been so strong.
From the time Dortmund actually launched the attack to the end of the first half, Ye Xin put on a save show in front of him for a full twenty minutes.
Dortmund's dozen shots were all in vain in front of Ye Xin.
And at least two of those saves were almost world-class.
Jurgen Klopp had to be moved, he thought he had seen all kinds of goalkeepers, but he had never seen such a high frequency of attacks as Ye Xin, he actually maintained extreme calm from beginning to end, it is no exaggeration to say that Jena's entire backline was supported by him alone.
Although Heiko's back four and midfielder tactics seem to have played a big role, Jurgen Klopp is well aware that without Ye Xin, Jena would have been crushed by Borussia Dortmund.
And Jena's midfielder looks very distinctive, but Jurgen Klopp can also see at a glance that this player is not mature, and in Jena's current defensive system, he can only be used as a surprise player.
However, the game is actually the same as the war, if you want to win often, it is impossible to use odds.
Jena's entire defensive system, in fact, no matter what formation there is, has congenital hard injuries, and the player's personal strength is now Jena's biggest shortcoming, as long as the player's personal strength cannot be improved, then Jena's defensive system cannot be firm.
And the personal strength of the player, in addition to the experience of the competition, also depends on the talent of the player, but not everyone has talent.
Jena has some top-notch talent, and Jurgen Klopp thinks he can count them with a single slap.
It's just that when he thinks of this, he sighs even more at Jena's luck.
Jena only relied on Ye Xin alone to fill the loopholes in the entire defensive system.
He was really like a wall in front of Jena, a wall that blocked all shots.
And the minutes and seconds passed on the side of this wall, and finally the whistle blew in the first half, and Jena finally ushered in a respite after nearly half an hour of rage.
Jurgen Klopp shook his head, sighed, and led his team to the dressing room.
And Jena's side Heiko didn't have his usual ease, he was dignified at the moment, and his players didn't talk and laugh like usual, of course, except for Nils, who gave him the most headache, he was chatting with the linesman at this time.
Do you want to see if the timing is good for chatting?
And can the person you chat with be reliable, don't you see that the face of the fourth official is black?
Resisting the urge to get mad, Heiko dragged Nils back, and then led a group of players who were silent behind him back to his locker room.
Seeing this scene, Heiko had a headache for a while, of course he knew what the players were thinking about now, and Dortmund brought them a merciless blow in the first half.
But that's the reality.
Many people can always cheer themselves up when they don't know how strong their opponents are, and they can even fantasize about how they want their opponents to be, but when they really fight against them, especially when they find that insurmountable gap.
At this moment, their hearts are no longer full of fighting spirit, but frustration.
In the past, Jena was able to recover quickly when they were abused in Bundesliga and Bundesb, and they were not really beaten down, because although there was a congenital gap between the players, the gap was not too big, and everyone felt that they could catch up with it if they worked hard.
And as Jena moves forward step by step, the expectations in the hearts of the big guys are getting higher and higher, and they are becoming more and more confident, but today, just half an hour, there is a trace of confusion in their eyes.
Because they have discovered what is the real talent, and this talent they have vaguely felt that it cannot be compensated for by hard work.
Especially the three Bjorn who were full of interest before the game, due to the training of 'disguised shooting', they have become more and more handy in the Bundesliga recently, and what excites them the most is that they obviously feel that the opponent's movements have slowed down, although they still can't do it like Nils can take advantage of the side effects of disguised shooting, and the breakthrough is always easy, but they believe that sooner or later they can become like this, it is nothing more than a matter of time.
It's just that today they don't talk about people, even the opportunity to attack was basically strangled in the cradle by Dortmund, they didn't have the opportunity to get up, and they had already become excited about it.
And it's not Dortmund's strongest form to beat them like this, Dortmund who are not in the absence of several core players are strong like this, how do you let them not lose.
To be honest, Heiko regretted advancing to the second round of the German Cup, although he had been prepared for Dortmund, but he didn't expect the blow to come too quickly and too heavy.
So now Haike's top priority is to find a way to pull Jena out of a state of demoralization.
It's just that when he walks into the dressing room and faces his players, he doesn't know where to start, because what they see today is the harsh reality.
What is genius?
Genius is 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration.
They have 99 percent of the sweat, but they just don't have that 1 percent of the inspiration.
Except for Ye Xin, Nils and the new signing Max Klose, Jena has met this condition, and the others except the newcomers do not see much talent for the time being, and other veteran players who have been in football for many years have no chance of this inspiration.
They didn't think it was very important before, but they had to be convinced after playing Dortmund today, the players were not much stronger than them, how much faster, but they relied on the flashes of inspiration everywhere on the field, the whole team was strung together, and then Jena was suppressed to death.
Heiko couldn't help but sigh, but then he spoke slowly.
