Chapter 205: Change of Position and Mood
At the end of the game, the head coaches of both teams didn't say anything when they shook hands and hugged, just looked at each other and smiled, wishing each other good luck. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jurgen Klopp naturally wished Arsene Wenger a win in the next London derby, but Wenger's meaning couldn't be clearer.
Even we won, and if we lose to Napoli and Lyon, it's not just your own face that you'll lose.
Lin Yi, who scored the only goal of the game and had a wonderful scoring process, won the best player of the game again and received the trophy.
As the best in the game, Lin Yi accepted the media interview after the game, facing the camera, he was not very physically exerted in this game, he behaved calmly, smiled slightly, accepted the questions of the TV reporter, and said at the end that Dortmund was confident of qualifying.
After the interview, Lin Yi, who wanted to go back to the locker room, saw Avery who was squeezing at him again in the mixed area. Katzman.
This time there weren't too many people around Katzman, and Lin Yi waved his hand at him, quietly gesturing with a phone call.
The change in Lin Yi's position in recent games has attracted everyone's attention, and both the media and professionals are surprised that this lazy guy who may not run 20 meters for a few minutes on the court can still play as a winger.
And unlike the young players of other European clubs, Lin Yi's past was a blank slate for the media, and no one knew his past. Not only did the media not find any data on him at all ages, but they also had no way of knowing his previous position.
Therefore, most of the media pinned their hopes for understanding this information on the interview with Lin Yi, and nothing could be more direct than this.
"Lin! Let's talk about how you're playing in your new position! You've been very active in the last few games, is it related to changing positions? β
"Yes! You were amazing as a winger last time and you were a shadow striker today. β
"Did you play outside of midfield when you played in your home country before, so you're only familiar with it now?"
"From a striker to a winger, it's actually a big change, did you ask for it yourself or did JΓΌrgen arrange it?"
The enthusiasm of the reporters at this moment is no less than what they showed after Lin Yi said "the power of love" in the last game.
Lin Yi didn't stop walking, because he was worried that some anxious reporters would accidentally insert some voice recorder into his nostrils.
However, he was still in a good mood to help the team win today. So instead of answering as before, I answered.
But what kind of feeling Lin Yi's answer gave to these anxious reporters, he himself didn't know.
"That's a question! Actually, the coach and I just wanted to change the position and change the mood, and nothing else. β
This kind of casual answer certainly does not satisfy the reporter. Are you too perfunctory? Even if it's a little technical!
But Lin Yi obviously didn't want to say too much about this issue, he smiled at everyone, and pointed behind him very insidiously, "Actually, you can ask our head coach about this." The explanation he gave must have been more comprehensive. β
Listening to his proposal, the reporters stopped talking with a black line on their faces, trying to ask something from Klopp's mouth, it was too difficult!
Unbeknownst to Klopp, the reporters were accusing him of a few words before returning to the dressing room.
The first three points are in hand, and there are two opponents next, one by one, and you can qualify directly with six more points.
But now Dortmund don't have much time to be complacent, as they have to travel to face a strong opponent next.
For a team like theirs, every season has a phase like this. Injuries and fitness can be the worst enemies.
The fitness retention at the start of the season is being depleted, and the increasing and intense schedule is also exhausting the Dortmund players.
At present, it seems that Aubameyang is the first to fall, but Reus, a player who has an average physique and has played a lot, knows that if it were not for the next winter break, I am afraid that they would have fallen directly in February and March.
Thinking of this, Klopp, who was holding the schedule, couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Hell, Wolfsburg." β
At the moment, Wolfsburg are in good form, and they have plenty of fitness and room to adjust in two fronts.
What's more, they have been successful in the off-season with several signings, and the team is on the right path.
Let's let Lin start, after all, before the game against Bayern. There was also a national team break day and Lin could rest that week.
If you have a careful analysis, you will find that what awaits Dortmund next is a devil's schedule. Away to Wolfsburg, who are currently third in the league, and then home to Bayern Munich, who have not tasted defeat in the league before. Next up is Napoli, who have had the most negative impact this season, and it will be interspersed with a national team break. The fatigue of the journey, the current strong opponents, and the pressure to be out of the Champions League after losing one game, have put Klopp under a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, Bayern are playing this league game on our home turf and they could be more severely affected by the national team call-up.
Win a key win. But Klopp, who was still preoccupied, returned to the dressing room and disbanded the team without too much summing up.
There are some things that I have to worry about as a coach in the end, so there's no need to make the players too nervous.
Because of the tight schedule of the week, the day after beating Arsenal, Dortmund, who had not fully recovered, boarded the flight to Wolfsburg and prepared for the next tough game.
Lin began to catch up on sleep as soon as he got on the plane, he was not so tired from yesterday's game, but it was different when he got home at night.
Royce, who was sitting next to Lin Yi, was bored, so he had to take a magazine provided on the plane and read it.
This is a sports magazine, which deeply analyzes Lin Yi's recent performance, and at the same time said that in the next game against Wolfsburg, the confrontation between Lin Yi and Gu Zizhe is very worth looking forward to.
Wolfsburg did not have many German players in their starting line-up, which is rare in a Bundesliga team.
It is undeniable that this team is very strong, having won the Bundesliga a a few seasons ago.
Looking at the possible starting lineup of Wolfsburg analyzed in the magazine, Reus pouted, no matter how strong it is, will it be stronger than Bayern?
After arriving in Wolfsburg, the whole team went directly to the Volkswagen Arena to warm up.
Tomorrow is the official competition. It's better to get used to the pitch early.
When Klopp arrived, they were surprised to find that the Wolfsburg players were also training there.
"Holy, no! So hard? Still training like crazy the day before the game? Don't they feel tired? β
Aubameyang, who was walking beside Lin Yi, sighed like this, you must know that what he envies most now is the players with good physical strength.
Watch them compete in this standard format on the field. In fact, Lin Yi was also a little surprised.
But Jurgen Klopp and Dort's veteran players were accustomed to smiling. Black gold is still the same as before.
Black and Gold have only just taken charge of Wolfsburg this season, and before that he was the head coach of Nuremberg, he relied on this very strict training method when he was at Nuremberg. brought Nuremberg, which is not strong in its own right, to a passable result. The current Wolfsburg is much stronger than the original Nuremberg, and looking at the results and performance of this season, the black and gold are also going to show their ambitions.
Black and gold and Klopp are also old acquaintances, and he greeted them with a smile as he watched the Dortmund men walk into the stadium.
Klopp waved his hand, "I said, old man, why are you so serious?" Or is it deliberately taking up our training time? β
"I'm showing my respect for you, Jurgen, I can't train so hard against a powerful opponent like you. If you don't believe me, you can ask my players, they have been complaining about me for a week now! β
"You don't have to be so serious! It's just one league game, it's a big deal if you give me three points, and I'll pay you back when I find a chance in the future. β
Heijin rolled his eyes, "Why don't you borrow me first?" I can pay you back, let me give you an IOU. β
Klopp laughed, "In that case, then I can only let my players rob it, and I won't pay you back then." β
"Very good, always waiting!" Black Gold said. He also spread his hands very generously to Klopp.
In fact, in some away games, stepping on the field is not so important, and few teams will turn their home stadium into a vegetable field.
The stampede ended quickly, and when Klopp led people away, he thought to himself: Let's train! Train a little longer. Training until tomorrow is the best way to have weak legs.
After returning to the hotel, Klopp took out the tactical board and sketched on it a few times, making small modifications to the tactics.
Lin Yi still slept soundly, and Aubameyang in the room next to him didn't feel much sleep, thinking about whether he could take the opportunity to score a goal in the second half tomorrow, despite my poor physical strength. But I can also make a big difference.
When Dort's team arrived at the Volkswagen Arena again, the Wolfsburg people were there before they did.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, if Pierre was allowed to play professionally in this team, it was estimated that without waiting for the opponent to treat him, the training would be enough to make him scrap.
Black and gold were still meticulous, directing the players to warm up and run, but did not forget to wave his hand at Klopp.
Klopp returned the salute and turned to look at his teammates, "You've seen the way Wolfsburg trains, too!" If you can't win this game today, it can only be said that Dieter. Black Gold's training methods are better than mine, and I can only imitate them. β
Hearing this, the Dort players, who were still a little depressed, were all shocked, and at the same time adjusted their state and prepared to prove that their head coach's training and defense were the most reasonable and effective.
Lin Yi looked at the players running on the field next to him, and finally there was a team that I could recognize most of the starters.
Wolfsburg's squad is very mixed, and there are not too many German players in the starting line-up, but the quality should not be underestimated.
Royce threw a ball at Lin Yi's head, and Lin Yi dodged it and pushed it back.
"Don't look at it! Warm up, and in another two hours they'll let you see enough! I will follow you every step of the way to show you. β
Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders, "Don't worry, a group of men is nothing to look at, and I will leave them all behind when the time comes." β
There are also several people on the Wolfsburg side who are paying attention to Lin Yi here, and they may have a direct conversation with this Chinese in this game. There is still a certain amount of nervousness about the opponent who is likely to win the Bundesliga Player of the Month.
Lin Yi picked up a football volley and swept it towards Royce, "It's you!" Beware of being watched by them and unable to do anything. β
Royce raised his chin very confidently, "Come and give it a try!" I also want to see who can make me unable to do anything! β
Although the current big enemy, the mentality of the Dortmund players is still good, one is from the coach's reassurance, and the other is from their confidence in themselves.
Although the warm-up and training were boring, the time passed quickly, and it was time for the official start of the game in a blink of an eye.
When Lin Yi walked into the court with Royce and Mechtaryan, the young Rodriguez had already anticipated who was left for him.
Wolfsburg's starting line-up was a '4-1-2-1-2', with Benaglio in goal, Teresch on the left, Naldo and Schaefer in the middle, and Rodriguez on the right. The lone midfielder is Brazilian international Luiz, who has moved from Bayern Munich. Gustavo, with Diego and South Korea international Koo Ji-chul on the wings, and Perisic up front. The two strikers are Dost plus veteran Olich.
The line-up is very impactful, with both full-backs being young players with great momentum, while defender Gustavo is also good at attacking and defending. Needless to say, Olich, who had a brilliant performance when he played for Bayern, is also a killer weapon that cannot be ignored.
The Dort players received a huge boo as soon as they got on their feet, and it was clear that the Wolfsburg fans gave them enough attention.
Weidenfeller went to guess with Benaglio as captain and in the end he won the tee-off, with Lewandowski and Mechtayan moving towards the centre circle.
Dort's side changed formations again, and Lin Yi returned to the wing from the shadow striker position, flying with Reuss on both wings.
The mood should change often! Therefore, the position should also be changed frequently.
Lin Yi thought so, and stood outside the center circle waiting for the kickoff.
In addition to the four men up front, Durm and Piszczek split up to the left and right at the back, Hummels and Subotic in the middle, and Shaheen and Gundogan in the back are a strong attacking combination.
With the referee's whistle, the game begins.
Lewandowski knocked the ball away and Mechtaryan passed it back to Gundogan, and the second and third places in the Bundesliga table began. (To be continued.) )
