On the evening of January 30, 2008, the Dresden Dynamo team ushered in the first game of the second half of the season, although this season has the task of the League Cup, the Bundesliga title is also very hopeful, so Magath does not attach as much importance to the German Cup as last season, but in order to make a good start to the second half of the season, he still asks the players to do their best to win. In other words, although the Dynamo Dresden team is playing at home in this game, it really has to play with all its might, because the opponent is the strong Bundesliga powerhouse Stuttgart!

However, to everyone's surprise, the Stuttgart team, which everyone thought would be able to resist at least symbolically for a while, was actually beaten into a sieve by the crazy attack of the Dresden Dynamo team in this game. With this match, Gao Jun further cemented the impression that he was good at playing cup games, and he himself was even more surprised by the effectiveness of Magath's physical training.

In this game, even in the last thirty minutes, Gao Jun's movement frequency and sprint speed still did not drop significantly, which surprised Gao Jun himself, he was not without such a table before, but he could only do it in the first half, and a situation like today is absolutely unprecedented. In terms of the distance traveled, Gao Jun also set a new record, although Magath replaced him in the 81st minute to receive the cheers of the fans alone, he still ran more than 13,600 meters. This is really a terrifying number, and while Gao Jun once again realized the advantage of pink muscles, he also had to praise Magath's physical training as the world's No. 1

Due to the relative minority of the German Cup, Magath started the new Kompany in this game, and also played in three central defenders with the original two main central defenders, but because he was unable to play official games in Hamburg in the first half of the season. After joining the Dresden Dynamo team, he was trained too hard by Magath, the state in the game was not good, and he made a fatal mistake, and the Dynamo Dresden team was scored two goals by the opponent in this game, if it were not for the teammates in the front court, the result of this game is really hard to say

Even so, Magath did not lose faith in Kompany, and even after a low-level mistake led to a surprise draw by Cottagers in the second half of the season, Dynamo Dresden was forced to draw by Petbus in their opening Bundesliga game of the second half of the season. Impressed, Kompany finally played at his level in his third game with Dynamo Dresden, defending almost perfectly. He also scored with a header from set-pieces in the game to help the team beat his old club Hamburg 3-0 at home. Kompany was very excited after the goal, and wanted to run to the visiting stands to taunt his old club, but thinking that the Hamburg fans were not too good to him, he put up with the thought.

"Not bad, a good fellow." , Gao Jun guessed this kid's thoughts from Kompany's somewhat awkward movements, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Gao Jun's performance in this game is not bad. Even when the Hamburg team defended it tightly throughout the field, he still contributed a pass and a shot. His tally in the Bundesliga this season has taken to 29, drawing an exclamation from the German media, and with 15 games left in the Bundesliga this season, Gao Jun looks likely to beat Gad. Muller's all-time record of 40 goals in the Bundesliga in a single season has made many Germans have mixed mentalities, while Chinese fans are looking forward to it

However, the head coach of Dynamo Dresden, Magath, apparently did not take into account the expectations of the fans. After the team's full squad swept away Norway Bran 6-0 away in the UEFA Cup, making the second leg meaningless, he put more than half of his main players on the bench in a Bundesliga match three days later, including Gao Jun, in view of the fatigue. In the end, Dynamo Dresden only beat the underdog Karlsruhe 1-0 away from home, and Gao Jun did not get a chance to play in the whole game. The result of this game looks unremarkable. However, only a small part of the main team can get all three points away from home, even if the opponent is not strong, it is difficult for the Dresden Dynamo team to do before, and it is no wonder that many local media are happy to say after the game that the current Dynamo Dresden team has become a real Bundesliga powerhouse

Because the first leg has accumulated enough goal difference, although the second leg of the first round of the League Cup knockout round is a home game, Magath still tried his best to substitute in this game considering the huge consumption of the third-line battle, and only Neuer, the absolute main force and Yang Hao, Kompany, Makoto Hasebe, and Yuu Nagatomo are the four rotation players in the lineup.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Magath insisted on letting Kompany start in the early half of the season was mainly to speed up the run-in and restore the self-confidence of the Belgian boy, but his current absolute strength is not enough to completely overwhelm the original two main central defenders of the Dresden Dynamo team, so when he entered the state after a few games, the two central defenders of the Dresden Dynamo team began to rotate between the three candidates. However, because it is three people competing for two positions, Kompany has the highest status among the four main rotation players, surpassing Yang Hao, who is competing for one position and is slightly inferior, and Makoto Hasebe and Yuto Nagatomo, who can only be regarded as the main substitutes at present

Magath has the Bundesliga at the heart of the three major competitions of the year, so he did not hesitate to field the strongest squad for the home game against Stuttgart two days later. And these main players did not disappoint Magath, although Stuttgart team defended the whole game, but Gao Jun still scored an incredible "fairy goal" to help the team break the deadlock on the field, and also increased his goal tally in the Bundesliga this season to 30, and then Ozil scored another goal, and finally Dynamo Dresden won 2-0 and continued to lead the Bundesliga standings.

Before you know it, only Bayern Munich is the only team that can put some pressure on Dynamo Dresden among the teams contending for the Bundesliga title this season, and the other teams, even Werder Bremen, who once finished second, have fallen out in the long season. Speaking of the luck of the Dresden Dynamo team this season, there is no main team, or even a rotation player, long-term injury, otherwise with the depth of the bench of the Dresden Dynamo team, it is difficult to play at this stage, but the lead is still expanding.

But then again, this is also thanks to Magath's devil training, high-intensity and high-quality physical training allows the players to have sufficient physical reserves, so although the game is played more, the fatigue of the battle rarely occurs, and the chance of injury is naturally much smaller. Of course, the vast majority of the players in the Dresden Dynamo team are very good, and they are generally younger, and the body is also an important factor that cannot be ignored.

In this situation, Magath's ambitions have swelled rapidly, and after only thinking about the Bundesliga title at the beginning of the season, he now even wants to lead the team to the "treble" to prove that he is not really bad at fighting on multiple fronts. And when Dynamo Dresden comfortably beat lower league side Jena at home in the German Cup on 26 February, Magath was undoubtedly a little closer to the "treble" honor. However, the draw for the semi-finals of the German Cup poured cold water on Magath, who was becoming more and more ambitious these days, "How can it be a game against Dortmund or away?" ”

"In that case, the league has to close the gap faster." After making such a decision, Magath did not hesitate to play his main force in the Bundesliga match away to Bochum, and finally swept the opponent with a score of 5:0, and the Bundesliga points increased to 60 points, 13 points ahead of second-placed Bayern Munich. With so many points at the bottom, Magath can finally strategically drop their next Bundesliga game and play with a full squad in the first leg of the second round of the UEFA Cup knockout stage away to Fiorentina in Italy.

Magath attaches so much importance to the away game against Fiorentina, although German football is still a world powerhouse even at its weakest, but the style of German football is restrained by Italy, so it is often difficult for German teams to bargain when they meet Italian teams, not to mention that Fiorentina themselves are not much weaker than Dynamo Dresden.

However, the two cores of the Dynamo Dresden team, one before and one behind, gave Serie A Friedrich a taste of defeat on their home turf in this game. Gao Jun seized his only two chances to score in the game, scoring twice in the first meeting with the Italian team known for their tight defense, and continued to defend his honor as the "King of the Cup"; Neuer, on the other hand, was like an impassable wall, saving Fiorentina three times in the game, allowing him not to concede a goal in seven consecutive competitive matches. In the end, thanks to the excellent performance of the two key players, the Dynamo Dresden won 2-0 away from home and continued to go hand in hand on three fronts this season (to be continued......
