Chapter 456: Nine Balls and Four Balls

The next day, there were reports that Lin Yi chose to stay at Dortmund and complete the contract extension. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Coupled with the complete closure of the transfer window, this farce that made Dortmund fans very nervous has finally come to an end.

While a lot of the aftermath doesn't look like it's completely gone, overall, the fans are satisfied.

The only regret may be that Puyol and Luis Enrique, who have put a lot of effort into this matter.

"It's a pity that we couldn't make the transfer successful, but it's only because the time is so short, and I can say once again that FC Barcelona is sincere about this transfer and we are always open to welcome Lin to join."

Enrique's words seemed unofficial and indeed sincere, but Barcelona fans thought of the news from Germany two hours ago, and felt that the club might not have a chance to get the Chinese.

Borussia Dortmund have announced that they have signed a contract extension with their captain Lin Yi extending his contract until 2019, raising his annual salary to 8 million euros per year and liquidated damages of up to 120 million euros.

Not to mention this annual salary, it is difficult for Barcelona to afford it, even if the annual salary can afford it, what about liquidated damages?

Unless it is in 2019, Lin Yi, whose contract expires, joins on a free transfer, but it seems good to think about it, because he was only twenty-five years old at that time. The fans are still thinking about the possibility of Lin Yi joining in their hearts, but they have forgotten that the current transfer market is very different from before, not to mention that their old rival Real Madrid has always coveted Lin Yi, turn around and look at the owners of the Premier League who are rich and don't care about spending money, maybe when someone throws out a check and activates Lin Yi's liquidated damages clause?

When Lin Yi signed the new contract, he still maintained the humility of the Chinese when he first met Zorke.

He didn't even put forward any strings attached, such as any transfer invitation from a big club, or other self-guarantees.

Even the annual salary, the eight million euros proposed by Lin Yi himself, is much lower than the bottom line of 11 million euros in Zorke's heart.

After signing the contract, when Lin Yi and Zolke had lunch together, the two of them said in private, "You have the money to give me such a high annual salary, it is better to invite a slightly better head coach to come, so that the team's results can be better." ”

Zolke listened to Lin Yi's ridicule and laughed a little embarrassed, how did this kid know that one of the reasons why I signed Tuchel in the first place was because it was cheap?

It seems that everything is on the right track, Lin Yi has renewed his contract to stay in the team, and Dortmund's personnel have also stabilized.

It wasn't until the final training session before the third round of league games that Thomas Tuchel announced his starting line-up for the third round of fixtures.

"In this game, let's play '5-3-2' and Roman starts. At the back, Eric and Lukash were on the left and right, with Mats, Nevin and Matthias in the middle. Sven and Gonzalo play in the back, Kagawa plays in the front, and the double striker Marco Gapierre. ”

I was still thinking about how this brain-dead Lin put a back five until the end, when he was bumped into by Aubameyang, who turned to training, and suddenly realized that he was a substitute again?

"Lin. Don't think too much, the opponent in this game is not very strong, I am ready to hone the other players and lineup matching, after all, we are still fighting on the third line this season, in order to keep your main players in physical strength and condition, so there will definitely be appropriate rotation. Like I said before, anyone is going to sacrifice for the team. The more players who play well, the more we can improve the tactical diversity of our team, and not rely on one player. ”

The opponent in the third round of the league is indeed not very strong, it is Hannover 96, who stepped on the corpse of Mainz last season, and successfully relegated, so Tuchel's words are flawless, and the normal and winnable rotation of Lin Yi would have been acceptable.

It's just that Lin Yi still can't help but complain in his heart, fighting on three fronts? If you follow your brain-dead play, it won't be anymore soon.

"I understand. I also hope that Kagawa and Henrik can play better, so that we can increase the diversity of our playing style. ”

Lin Yi, who didn't want to talk to Tucheldo, said so perfunctory, and then went back to train with him.

Diversity? You have a back five, and no matter how much diversity you have. Lin Yi shook his head and didn't speak.

In the tumultuous situation of Dortmund last season, Hannover 96 did not take advantage of it here.

So this game...... There shouldn't be any problems, right? Moreover, Shinji Kagawa is also a powerful front waist.

The facts show that Lin Yi's estimate is really conservative, because this match is not what he imagined, and there is nothing wrong.

Shinji Kagawa seems to have finally woken up from a big dream, recovering the feeling he once felt when he was in Dortmund.

Because of Shinji Kagawa's wonderful performance, the fans did not demand Dortmund's lineup this time.

The lineup of five defenders also helped Dortmund finally win a decent team victory.

Shinji Kagawa provided two assists and scored with a stoppage shot after Reuss had a shot saved.

Tuchel finally smiled from the bottom of his heart after winning the game.

That's my style of team, a very personal and iconic victory!

Lin Yi, who was on the sidelines, saw his expression and shrugged his shoulders slightly, finally seeing a little bit of wanting to win from him.

Little did he know, though, that Tuchel's joy was not just about the victory, but more importantly, about a victory without Linyi.

The best player of the match was also awarded to Shinji Kagawa, who is currently being interviewed.

After seeing the team's victory, Lin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, got up and took his drink and prepared to go back to the locker room.

As he passed through the mixed zone, the same reporter who had interviewed him last stopped him again.

"Hey! Forest! Why didn't you play in this game again? His cry was loud, and Lin Yi turned his head to look at him.

"It's not very important, is it? At least this time we won the race, and I think it's a really good result, and sometimes it's not the process that's the most important thing, right? Mr Tuchel hopes he can try out a different line-up in a game like this to help the team win more games, and the rotation is normal. ”

Lin Yi's reply was also very official, and the reporters had to nod yes to it.

Royce, who was walking back with Lin Yi, couldn't help but bump him on the shoulder when he heard his words.

"You don't even need a draft to lie now, do you? Anyone can see that Tuchel doesn't want to use you. ”

"Whatever? When it comes to the key game, see if he uses it. ”

"But at that time, what about your state? Will it be stable? If it's unstable, won't he have an excuse to take you down? ”

Lin Yi touched his nose, "Trust me, I won't give him this chance." ”

Royce was helpless about Lin Yi's confidence, and could only think that if that situation really came, he would definitely pass Lin Yi a few more good shots.

At the post-match press conference, Shinji Kagawa finally sat on the bench again after a long absence.

The reporters were frantically patting him, and the Japanese star, who had achieved brilliant results at Dortmund, was obviously not unfamiliar with this stage at all, and answered the reporters' questions very enthusiastically, interacting very hard.

Tuchel sat on the sidelines and watched, only then did he remember that since he took over Dortmund, he had attended very few press conferences with Lin Yi. But it's a good thing, and if nothing else, hopefully it will continue to do so.

'Mr Tuchel, is it because of any injury that Lin didn't play in this game?'

"Not really. Every player in our squad is very healthy right now, and the reason why Lin didn't start is because of tactical considerations, the team can't play one style of play or rely too much on one player, so I'm going to try to give every player a chance, and that's the only way to make a difference in the rest of the game this year. ”

"So, are Dortmund hoping to win something in the Champions League this year?"

"It's not just the Champions League, it's the league, it's the domestic cup or the Champions League, we want to make a difference. That's why it's important to strengthen the squad and not rely too much on one particularly outstanding player. ”

Tuchel said it in a matter-of-fact manner, but he was talking nonsense.

However, many reporters and fans don't think much deeply, they still look more at the results.

Seeing that Dortmund's side won two wonderful rounds in the second and third rounds in a row, there are not so many opinions.

There are even many people who are deeply convinced of Tuchel's so-called nonsense of "letting Lin Yiduo rest and fight tough battles".

In the fourth round, Tuchel still did not arrange Lin Yi to start, but after 60 minutes of the game, the score was still 0-0, he replaced Lin Yi, Lin Yi did not hit him in the face, and after coming out, he scored the only goal of the game with the help of a free kick opportunity to help the team beat Hamburg away.

In the fifth round of the game, Lin Yi finally started again, but he did not continue his hot form in this game, and a single assist did not help the team beat the opponent, only a draw at home. More crucially, Lin Yi missed two very good chances to open the scoring in this game, while his team-mates wasted a few good balls from his passes.

At Dortmund's post-match press conference, which had dropped points for the first time in four rounds since the first-round defeat, Tuchel finally brought in captain Lin Yi.

"I had some problems with my performance in this game, and I couldn't take a few key chances, which is a pity."

As soon as he sat down, Lin Yi habitually reviewed his mistakes, but after finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The reason why I review every time I review after a loss or a game where I didn't get the result I wanted was because the manager at the time was Jurgen Klopp, who would not choose to let the players take the blame no matter what.

At this moment, the person around him has been replaced by Tuchel, thinking of this, Lin Yi pondered again and again, only to suddenly find that the number of times he attended this season's press conference was really pitiful.

"So, Lin, what are your thoughts on the first round of the Champions League group stage that will be played in the middle of next week after this round of matches?"

The reporter who asked the question was also an old acquaintance of Lin Yi, and he felt that something was wrong and took the initiative to change the topic.

"This time our Champions League grouping is relatively ideal, although the overall strength of the opponents is very strong, but our combat effectiveness is generally relatively close, the next opponent is Manchester City, which can be said to be the strongest team in the entire group, I hope to win them."

'Mr Tuchel, in this round of fixtures, we noticed that you rotated most of your key players, are you saving for the Champions League game ahead?'

"Aha. It's only the beginning of the season, and it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the retention is still the same as before, trying out all kinds of new ways of playing, in the hope of helping the team go further and further. ”

Lin Yi sat on the side, silent as he had done at the previous press conference.

In the last few rounds, Dortmund has played against more weak teams, so they have easily won the game.

It's a good thing to help players regain their confidence, but now it looks like it's a bit too much. Judging from this game, it is clear that the players are not as diligent as they used to be in their movements. Between a lot of runs and passes, there is a kind of slackness.

It is precisely for this reason that teammates missed so many good opportunities and did not receive their own passes.

If you think about the flow of the game, it feels like the team as a whole is constantly leaning towards Tuchel's style.

But Tuchel's style ...... Didn't he rely on such a tactical style last season to lead Mainz all the way to relegation?

At the end of the day, Lin Yi is still not confident about Tuchel's level, and Tuchel doesn't seem to have done anything effective to prove himself.

Borussia Dortmund's progress has been hampered, on the other hand, Bayern Munich, since the German Super Cup lost to Dortmund, they have been soaring, the league from the beginning to the present, five rounds of big wins, as the team's offensive finisher, Lewandowski in five rounds, nine goals, leading the scorer list.

He was followed by Thomas Muller, who scored five goals, and Arjen Robben, who has not been disrupted by injuries since the start of the season.

Then there is last season's goalscorer Wang Lin Yi, and Lin Yi has only scored four goals now. It's nowhere near as crazy as last season.

Of course, even irrational fans will not use this to demand Lin Yi, because everyone knows that Lin Yi last season was the main force of the team, and this season, he still needs to accept rotation.

I can only hope that after Tuchel's tactical attempts and run-in are successful, Lin Yi can be given more opportunities to play. I believe he will be able to make up for the goals he didn't score before.

Those fans who are still looking forward to Lin Yi being able to defend the top scorer are all holding such thoughts and waiting.
