After the start of the second half, seeing that the head coach of Rostock also replaced the main players in advance and obviously gave up the game, Stano replaced Gao Jun, who played a role in the team and even surpassed Conca, to rest, and sent Yang Hao on the field to replace the No. 17 back Mark. Wagfeld's position, pushing the latter into the midfielder position.
After such a change, Dresden's frontcourt organization soon became obviously chaotic, and the Rostock team took the opportunity to counterattack and scored a goal, if it weren't for the fact that they had one less person on the field and fell too far behind, Dresden would have been overturned by Rostock in this game
After the game, although the Dresden team won the "Eastern Derby" with a score of 5:1, the anticlimactic tail of this game also made the head coach Stano feel embarrassed, but fortunately, the fans at the scene were satisfied enough, they continued to entertain themselves in the stands, and did not boo the team's poor performance after Gao Jun left the game.
Although it was Artemisia Junmin, who was named the best of the match for the first time, he was interviewed by local media after the game, and in this interview, Gao Jun admitted that as the German team became more aware of and valued him, it would be more difficult for him to score goals. However, Gao Jun also said that even if his scoring efficiency decreases in the future, his containment can help his teammates score, which is actually not much different for the team, and the opponent will even spend most of his energy to limit himself, and the final gain outweighs the loss, just like the Hansa Rostock team in this game.
And Gao Jun believes that the current Dresden team is still in the run-in period, and has not played their real strength, once a tacit understanding is fully formed. It's definitely going to get even more terrifying, and for a scorer like Gao Jun, the stronger the team, the more scoring opportunities there are in the game, and naturally the more goals he will score. At the end of the interview, Gao Jun also joked to reporters, "Other players may not be questioned if they don't score in a few games." And if I don't score a game, you are worried, which means that you see me as the world's top scorer! ”
At the press conference, Dresden's head coach Stano, like most managers, was as hard-mouthed as most managers, but in his heart he was always worried about the loss of control of the situation on the field after his substitution. After careful analysis after the game, Stano found two reasons, one is that there are only two players in the team who can play in the midfield position, and once they are all out of the field, the team's offensive organization will inevitably have problems. Wagfeld had a good pass. But after all, he has never played in this position before, and it is not easy to adapt in a short period of time, and his status as a loan player and his not low value also make Stano unable to think about his key training, as for the same possible transformation into a forward midfielder, because he has better talent and strength as a center forward, and the team is now more short of qualified center forwards, so he can also not be a candidate for the striker.
After thinking about it, Stano felt that the team should be allowed to practice another backup formation that did not require a center forward and a forward midfielder, and that was the 442. In this 442 formation as an alternative and a change. Both forwards are fast, agile types, and Hanglin, Gao Jun, Hulk, and even the still immature Royce can do it. There is no shortage of suitable players for the two midfielders or central midfielders in parallel positions, not to mention the wing-forwards and full-backs.
The more Stano thought about it, the more he felt that the 442 formation was even more suitable for the team's staffing than the 433, but Dresden is now a strong team in the Bundesliga, and most of the games are weak with strong attacks, so the 433 formation that greatly strengthens the attacking ability is still the first choice, but if it can be promoted to the Bundesliga. A more balanced 442 formation will have an advantage. Just thinking that most of the current main players in the team are on short-term loan, and it is really hard to say how many can be left at the end of the season, Stano is a little less confident in his idea of going to the first division next year
The second problem that Stano found was the language barrier between the frontcourt players after Gao Jun was off the field, and when Gao Jun was on the field, there was obviously no problem with communication between the three Chinese players. Gao Jun also knew Spanish, which formed a bridge between Conca and the other two Chinese players, and when Gao Jun was off the field, Conca was unable to communicate with Su Lin and Hao Junmin. Now that the tacit understanding has not yet been fully formed, the negative impact of language barriers on the field on team cooperation cannot be ignored.
Realising this, Stano asked the players in training to communicate only in German in order to speed up the learning of German. Although it is not easy to fully master this foreign language, there are not many words that can be used on the field, nothing more than the names of teammates, some basic dialogues and some proper nouns.
Because of the inconvenience of the game and life, Stano's request was widely supported by the players. And since he himself has only just started to learn German, it is naturally impossible to speak it very authentically, and with him "leading by example", everyone is not so afraid of jokes, and the progress is faster. In the end, in the following month or so, even the most introverted Hao Junmin in the team also formed the habit of asking his teammates for the ball in German on the field, not to mention the other players, which made the team cooperation of the Dresden team on the field seem to be much more tacit
For the Dresden fans, a home win over Hansa Rostock was already a blessing for them, and they were quick to learn another piece of good news shortly after the game. Polish centre-back/midfielder Kukirka and homegrown midfielder Oswald have recently negotiated a contract extension with the club and will continue to play for Dresden for the next two seasons, which will undoubtedly reassure fans who fear a big decline in the team's strength due to the departure of a large number of key players at the end of the season.
It's not hard to guess why these two players changed their minds. As veterans of the squad, they must have feelings for Dresden, and they wanted to leave before, mainly because they feared that the team would be relegated to the regional league this season. After the start of the second half, Dresden surprisingly won four consecutive victories, and the possibility of relegation was already very small, so the two men were no longer entangled and took the initiative to renew their contracts with the club.
However, there are still players whose contracts are about to expire who insist on not renewing their contracts and are determined to leave Dresden after the season, that is, Volker, who is still the team's main central defender. Opits. And the reason why he made such a decision is mainly because of the teenager Nevin. Subotic's rapid growth, and although the guy who is still considering which nationality to choose has not had many appearances so far, the young centre-back with great potential has made Walker's career a huge success. Feeling threatened to remain in the main centre-back for the start of next season, and unable to play in multiple positions, Ogiz made the wise decision to leave.
But in this way, it also strengthened the club's cultivation of Neiwen. Subotic's idea, after which Stano arranged Nevin. Subotic has been playing more and more often, and he has matured at a surprisingly high rate after getting his (relatively speaking) game training at a high level
Nevertheless, in the fifth race of the second half of the season in Dresden, Nevin. Subotic could only continue to sit on the bench. The reason is very simple, the opponent Dresden will face in this game is Bochum, which has just been relegated from the Bundesliga last season and is currently ranked first in the Bundesliga.
In fact, as early as when he first came to Dresden, Gao Jun thought that Bochum was the strongest team in the Bundesliga this season, although at that time Bochum had two points less than Cottage Bs. The reason is simple: Cottages have lost more games and are not as stable as Bochum, and Bochum has more draws than Bochum, which is largely due to the fact that everyone treats it as a strong team, so they tend to adopt a dense defensive strategy in the game. In the winter transfer period, the financially rich Bochum team further strengthened their strength through the introduction of Guò, beating their opponents 1-0 in the crucial match against Ivbus in the second half, thus achieving a comeback in one fell swoop, and maintaining the first place in the Bundesliga until now.
Nevertheless, the lads in Dresden are now in full swing, and naturally they will not be weakened by the prestige of their opponents. Stano also decisively dispelled the idea of switching to the new 442 in this game to stabilize the defense, and decided to give full play to the home advantage and have a head-to-head confrontation with the Bochum team without concessions, "What kind of strength has our team reached, let this strongest team in the German Second Division help us test it!" ”
And the fans in Dresden were looking forward to the battle at the top, and even the owner of the bar, Haque, closed the door and suspended his business to cheer on his former parent club. Due to the large number of fans who want to watch the game, Dresden's home stadium Rudolf. However, the capacity of the Habigh Stadium was limited, so it was natural that it was difficult to get a ticket, and Gao Jun also saw the German scalpers for the first time
However, the owner of the Dresden Dynamo club, who is good at speculation, Janssen. Rudy seized the opportunity and confidently applied to the City Council for funding to expand the stadium. The city of Dresden is actually quite rich because of this, and it was only because of Dresden's poor results that the stadium was not satisfied at all and did not need to be expanded, but now that the team has achieved good results, the city council has also pushed the bill to allocate funds to expand the stadium.
