Chapter 42 Running back and forth, exhaustion is revealed
Although there are only two matches in the Telecom Cup, the timing of these two games is very close.
According to the schedule, after qualifying for the next round, they will travel to face another opponent - Borussia Dortmund tomorrow, that is, on August 6.
In the match with Hamburg, with Lewandowski's goal, Dortmund defeated Hamburg by one goal and successfully advanced to the final, becoming the final opponent of Werder Bremen.
Due to the tight schedule, after the victory over Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen had to fly non-stop to Dortmund, the next opponent's location.
By the time they got off the plane and arrived at the hotel by bus, it was already half past two in the morning.
At this point, there were only 17 hours left before the start of the game.
"Hurry up, go back to your room and sleep, and gather for training at half past ten tomorrow morning!"
The coaches drove the players to their rooms to sleep, leaving them little time to rest.
If they don't sleep well tonight, tomorrow they won't even have the strength to run.
"What the hell is this schedule? It's so close that I don't even have time to rest! ”
After Coach Rolf settled the players, he couldn't help but complain.
"The Telecom Cup has always been like that, but it's really unfair to us!"
The home team Borussia Dortmund is at home, and Werder Bremen has to travel to most of Germany, which will cause great difficulties for Werder Bremen, while the opponent does not have this problem.
However, as a supporting character who was invited to accompany the prince to study, it would be good to be able to participate in the competition, so don't expect so much.
"Alright, let's go rest, stay in good shape, we have to play tomorrow!"
Schaff clapped his hands and sent everyone away.
He himself, on the other hand, turned on his computer and watched the game between Hamburg and Borussia Dortmund during the day.
As the head coach of the team, it would be a bit incompetent to face the opponent in the next game and not study it before the game.
Borussia Dortmund have a few changes to their squad for the new season, they have brought in a number of people and also left some players.
Borussia Dortmund's biggest summer signing was the €17.1 million move from Borussia Mönchengladbach to bring in their potential rising star Reus to replace Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa, who was bought by Manchester United.
In addition, they also spent 5.5 million euros to bring away the opposing striker Schiebel from Stuttgart.
Schiebel was bought by Jurgen Klopp as a substitute, and their backup striker Barrios was bought by Chinese Super League club Guangzhou Evergrande for 8.5 million euros.
Although Barrios had a good performance at Borussia Dortmund, when the Polish Lewandowski established himself in the team and occupied the main position, he did not have many opportunities to play.
If Barrios is willing to be a substitute, that's fine.
But he doesn't want to be a substitute, his temper is not good, and with his potential being tapped, staying in the team is a big hidden danger for the dressing room.
Therefore, in the face of the poaching of the local tyrants of the Chinese Super League, Klopp did not hesitate to sell it for cash.
Overall, Dortmund's squad has not suffered much damage this summer.
Although the main midfielder Shinji Kagawa has been lost, the newcomer Royce has more potential, as long as he runs in with the team, he may exceed Shinji Kagawa's contribution to the team in the future.
Unlike Bayern, Borussia Dortmund are a passionate young janissary, with an unrestrained and impactful style of play, which has set off a youth storm in the Bundesliga.
Last season, officially relying on this storm of youth, they knocked down the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich three times, taking away the league and cup doubles, and Bayern had no temper.
Faced with this kind of opponent who relies on pressing and running aggressively, Werder Bremen can no longer use the same tactics against Bayern Munich as before.
It's a very dangerous thing to let a young ball like Borussia Dortmund besiege their own goal, because once they go crazy, even the top giants can't stop them!
So, what tactics should be used against them?
Schaff rubbed his temples and thought hard.
……
Perhaps it was because of the win over the mighty Bayern Munich that many of the young players in the team were very excited.
Although they went to bed early as the coach requested, they couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
When they finally went to sleep, they didn't know what time it was.
At half past ten the next morning, it was time for the team to assemble for training.
But less than half of the players were able to come down on time to join the rally, and most of the people who came were old players, and the young players were almost wiped out.
"I'm going to call them down!"
Seeing that the head coach's face was not very good-looking, assistant coach Henebach took the initiative to speak.
"Why don't you let them sleep again, let's train first!"
The strength and conditioning coach objected, arguing that waking up young players at this time would lead to a lack of rest and greatly affect the evening's game.
However, Coach Schaff nodded to Hennebach and told him to call someone.
"I'd rather lose this game and tell these youngsters one thing, in my team I don't welcome people who don't follow the rules!"
He has postponed the team's assembly time and given them plenty of time to rest.
It's these people themselves who don't adjust their mentality, which leads to oversleeping.
Of course, he also has his responsibility to not channel the mental state of the players in advance, calm the emotions of the young players, teach them experience, etc.
But now, he can't sit idly by and watch players break the rules and leave them unaddressed, which would diminish his authority as a manager and even give young players the wrong impression:
It seems that not following the team's rules is no big deal, and there will be no punishment anyway.
If they do feel that way, it will not only affect the team's future tactical arrangements, but even affect the careers of these young players.
No team will like players who are undisciplined and don't follow the rules of the team.
Lin Quan and De Bruyne glanced at each other and gained a deeper understanding of their coach.
Coach Schauff won't give you a stinky face when he should be reasonable, but when he is working, he also has his own iron-fisted and ruthless side, and he is very principled.
Sure enough, it is definitely not easy for someone who can work in the position of head coach of a team for so long!
Because the team members were not even, the morning training was simple.
Lin Quan has been practicing free kicks with De Bruyne during this time, and the two of them practice a strong volley and an outside instep arc.
De Bruyne's free-kicks were already of a high level, but a little bit of change in front of goal was missing.
As a result, his free throws are easily saved when encountering some experienced goalkeepers.
So, he intends to add a little variation to his free-kicks, similar to the kind of elevator kicks that Ronaldo often plays.
When the ball flies halfway, it suddenly drops and catches the opponent off guard.
It is not easy to practice this well, in addition to having sufficient strength, you also need to control the angle of power and the part of the ball that eats.
After the elevator ball is kicked out, it is necessary to keep the ball from spinning as much as possible, so that the resistance of the ball in the air will be much greater than that of the spinning ball.
When a player kicks the ball hard, it gives the ball a very high initial velocity, and when the initial velocity is greater than the final velocity, the Magnus effect will be obvious.
When the football flies to the highest point, it does not descend like a normal parabola, but suddenly descends like an elevator.
That's how the elevator ball works!
This principle was later concluded by the Milan Sport newspaper after hiring professional kinesiology experts and mechanics experts to make accurate calculations
According to the calculation formula of experts, in order to kick the elevator ball, the initial velocity of the football must exceed 100 kilometers per hour, which requires great strength from the penalty shooter.
