Chapter Twenty-Four: New Tactics Around Lin Yu
Through the match with Paris Saint-Germain, Lin Yu got his own glory and was appreciated by his teammates, but he is still far from trust, and only when he excels in official games can he gain the trust of his teammates, which is certain.
Klopp, the manager, also got something from this game, he found that Lin Yu was not afraid at all when facing big-name players, and that mature mentality was the most valuable thing for a young player.
You must know that many young players' skills are really good, but when they get to the game, they go wrong, either nervous or overexcited, resulting in a complete abnormality in their performance, and it is really rare to be as calm and mature as Lin Yu, and I feel that this kind of player is simply a baby bump among young players.
Jurgen Klopp knows Bayern's youngster Thomas Muller, a young player who is not flashy in his skills and is not high-profile, but he is often able to win games by surprise and make opponents miserable.
Klopp also hopes to have such a similar player under his hands, and now that he has found it, Lin Yu is, and Lin Yu has many potentials that Thomas Muller cannot match.
With only five days left until the official start of the Bundesliga on August 25, the training has not had much effect, so Klopp must tactically improve the team's fighting power.
Dortmund's first opponent this season is Werder Bremen, a team that is also a traditional powerhouse in the Bundesliga, although the results have not been very good in recent years, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and it is definitely not to be taken lightly.
Jurgen Klopp stood on the training ground and watched as assistant coach Rapin directed his players in training while he watched as he drew something on paper.
Suddenly, he shouted at Laupin and told all the players to stop training and prepare for some specific tactical drills against Werder Bremen.
The players all gathered together, Lin Yu stood among these players, feeling extremely proud and excited, for him, it was really like a dream to be able to play with these players.
"Our tactics will not change much, we will still strengthen the pressing in the front court and launch a quick counterattack! Give your opponent no respite! But there are exceptions to everything, and if we can't win the game in 70 minutes, or even if the score is down, we need some new changes, so I want to remind you here that when the time comes, don't complain about who is replaced, because it may not be that you are not doing badly, but purely for tactical reasons, you know? ”
The players all nodded in understanding.
Seeing that everyone was nodding, Klopp began to instruct the new tactics.
"China Yu, come here!"
When Lin Yu heard his name, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, after all, he was just a substitute player who had just joined the team, and it didn't seem right to call him instead of someone else.
"What about shouting you, are you deaf?" Lao Ping shouted at Lin Yu unhappily.
Seeing that both Lao Ping and Klopp's eyes were on him, Lin Yu confirmed that Klopp was shouting at him, and hurriedly ran over.
"China Yu, listen, the new tactics I said are all based on you, and if you don't perform well, then this new tactic may fail."
"Coach! I'm not going to let it fail, I'm confident! Lin Yu said loudly.
At this time, Bakaloc, who was a substitute player, walked out of the team and said very dissatisfied: "Coach, I think my skills are not worse than him, why can he be the core as soon as he comes, but I can't?" ”
Klopp glanced at him and said, "Are you doubting my eyes?" ”
"No, coach, I'm just not convinced!" Bakaloc said excitedly.
Klopp is not an authoritarian, he doesn't want the players to feel unfair, so seeing Bakaloc like that, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, I understand, there must be some of you who are not satisfied with my arrangement, okay, you don't talk yet, wait a while I arrange the tactics properly, you all come and try, see who is more qualified to be the core of this new tactic, I will use whom!" ”
Hearing this, Bakaroc was relieved, and he glanced at Lin Yu defiantly, as if to say that he would never be badly behaved by Lin Yu.
In the team, there are really a lot of people like Bakalotz, they all feel that Klopp is a little too spoiled Lin Yu, which makes them feel unbalanced, and now that they have the opportunity to compete, they are all holding back their strength and are ready to give Lin Yu a good look.
In Dortmund's official game system, the main lineup should be goalkeeper Weidenfeller, left wing-back Schmelzer, central defenders Hummels, Subotic, and right wing-back Piszczek.
The two defensive midfielders are Kyle and Gundogan.
Reus on the left and Blaszczykowski on the right, Gotze up front, plus Lewandowski as a striker.
If Klopp's new tactics are to be implemented, it will certainly be to replace an attacking player up front, including Reuss, Gotze, Blaszczykowski and Robert Lewandowski.
In terms of fame, of course, it is Gotze and Royce who are the biggest.
In terms of comprehensive ability, Lewandowski's ability is slightly weaker among these four people, but his position is very important, after all, whether a team can win or not, the quality of the striker will play the most direct role.
In the game against Paris Saint-Germain, Klopp asked Lin Yu to replace the injured Lewandowski, Lin Yu performed very well in the center forward position, but if you have to say, Lin Yu's style of play is not like a center forward, but more like an existence between a shadow striker and a forward midfielder.
Holding his chin in his hand, Klopp looked at Reuss, then at Blaszczykowski, and finally asked Lin Yu: "What position can you play?" ”
Lin Yu was secretly happy in his heart, he had learned the attributes of several positions in the ball king cultivator before, and he could play in these positions in the frontcourt, of course, the best thing was his favorite winger, or the position of full-back.
In modern football, there is basically no difference between the responsibilities of wingers and full-backs, both of whom are involved in the attack, but also have a certain amount of defensive responsibility.
So Lin Yu likes wingers, and he also likes full-backs.
"Coach, I can play in the front court." Lin Yu said proudly.
"That's fine, I'm worried that you won't be able to fill the position I'm assigned." Klopp thought for a while and said, "Blaszc, you rest for a while and let Lin Yu play right midfield." ”
Blaszczykowski had a not very happy expression on his face, but he didn't say anything, although his ability was not weak, but it was still a little worse than Gotze and Reuss, and he couldn't play in the center position, so he could only consider himself unlucky.
