Chapter 22 Borussia Dortmund

After the second round of the Swiss Cup against St. Argren, on October 22, Gosau continued to play against Germany's Dortmund at home. This is the third round of Group D of the UEFA Champions League group stage. At present, Gosau and Dortmund are in the top two in Group D, with 6 points and 4 points respectively, so this match The game can be described as the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. If Gosho can defeat Dortmund at home, then the situation of their group qualifying will be basically clear. If Dortmund can beat Gosho away, then their points can surpass Gosho and become the first in the group.

Dortmund is the only team in the Bundesliga that can compete with the powerful Bayern Munich in these seasons. They also won the runner-up in the Bundesliga last season and directly entered the group stage of the Champions League. However, their characteristics are completely different from Bayern Munich. There are many superstars in the Bayern Munich team, known as Bundesliga Hollywood, but there are not many superstars in the Dortmund team. Their main players are basically powerful players. They are not very famous, but very low-key and practical.

Dortmund's style is tough and concise. It has always been a traditional strong team in the Bundesliga. In 1997, they defeated the unbeatable Juventus in the Champions League finals and won the only European Champions League in their history.

After entering the 21st century, Dortmund's economy was in crisis and almost went bankrupt. In the end, although he did not go bankrupt and stayed in the Bundesliga, he also sank for a period of time. It was not until recent seasons that they trained a group of young excellent players under the coach Klopp that they embarked on the road of revival. It has become a strong Bundesliga team again.

The day before the game, the Dortmund team came to Gosho under the leadership of coach Klopp. After coming to Gosau, he was also interviewed by a reporter. For the current points situation in Group D, he believes that it is an ideal position for Dortmund to rank second in the group at present, but whether he can qualify in the group in the end, it is very important to play against Goshao for two consecutive rounds. If they don't play well in these two games, then it's not It is possible to overtake them and jump to the second place in the group.

Klopp said that Gosau is one of the strongest teams in Europe at present. If he can, he doesn't want to meet such a powerful opponent in the group stage, but since he must meet Gosau now, there is only one goal for him to come to Gosau, which is to get points.

Coach Klopp is 47 years old this year. He is one of the young coaches in the Bundesliga. He has a straightforward personality and does not cover up his words, but is more consistent with his coaching style. His words not only expressed respect for the Gosau team, but also did not hide his determination to defeat the Gosau team.

Klopp appreciates Egman, the arrow character of Gosho. He believes that in terms of goal scoring ability, Egman is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world football today. But he also believes that Dortmund can defend Egman, at least limit him, because Dortmund's two main central defenders are also the top central defenders in the world today.

Indeed, although Dortmund's two main central defenders Hummels and Subotic are not top-notch, their ability has already ranked among the top central defenders. Their defensive line has made Dortmund one of the teams with the least goals in the Bundesliga for several consecutive seasons.

One of the two central defenders is 1.91 meters tall, and the other is 1.93 meters tall. They are strong and have very good physical fitness, so they have the basic conditions to keep an eye on Egman. They were all born in 1988, and now they are in the age of play. Their physical fitness and defensive experience are at their peak, so Klopp is confident to say such words.

Lin Fenglei didn't say anything about Klopp's remarks. He just said lightly that Dortmund was a team with a glorious tradition, which could not be underestimated, and then said nothing more.

A good reporter told Egman about Klopp's remarks, but Egman was not as angry as they thought. He just smiled and said, "There used to be many people who said that they could prevent me, but that's because they had never fight with me. After the fight, they usually don't say such words. It's done."

At first glance, Egman's words sound very flat, but in fact, there is a hidden murder in them. If someone who is familiar with Egman hears what he said, he will know that the Dortmund team will be unlucky.

In the locker room of the Gosho team, the injury was just right. Kodinho, who was undergoing restorative training, read a newspaper with Klopp's remarks and laughed: "Haha, Dortmund is over."

The player who hasn't read the newspaper looked at Kao Ding Huo strangely and said, "You can't play this game again. How do you know they're going to be unlucky?"

Kading Huole said: "Their head coach said that they could defend Sylvan. How dare he say such a thing before the game against Gosho. Doesn't he know how horrible the enraged Egman is? Who was the last person who said that? I remember it seems to be Pike. Now he is afraid that he will walk around when he sees Sylvan?"

Avazzini took the newspaper, took a look, and then turned to Egman and said, "Silvan, have you read this newspaper?"

Egman said lightly, "A reporter told me."

Looking at Egman's expression, the players of the Gosho team looked at each other and smiled. Dortmund was really in trouble.

On the evening of October 22, it was drizzling in Gosau, and the temperature dropped to about 6 degrees Celsius. It should be relatively cold during this period. Fortunately, the two sides of this game are teams from Switzerland and Germany, which are more adaptable to this weather.

During the pre-match training, Egman showed a good state. His several long-range shots went straight to the dead corner of the goal, and several cross shots from his teammates also beat Salihovic and Chevalley to grab the landing point and head the goal.

Salikhovich rubbed his hurt chest and complained, "Sirwan, why are you hitting so hard now? It's not that we said we could prevent you."

Egman smiled and said, "Let's find the state of the game first. Let them look good later."

Salihovic nodded and said, "Well, I'll accompany you to find the state, but you have to invite me to dinner tomorrow."

Egman nodded: "No problem!"

Chevalley also came up: "Take me with you for dinner. Look, I've also been hit here." As he spoke, he rubbed his chest.

Egman smiled and said, "I said, no problem. As long as you score a goal today, you can practice with me now, please. It's still Australian lobster. I'm full.

As soon as the Gosho players heard this, they all cheered. They rushed up and practiced with Egman.

Lin Fenglei laughed and scolded at the side of the court, "Do these stinky kids need so many people to practice with Sylvan alone?"

Caquetas laughed and said, "Who asked Sylvan to treat you to dinner so generously? Not to mention them, I want to go. The big meal he invited is something we can rarely eat, such as lobster, caviar and so on.

Lin Fenglei said, "Speaking of which, Sylvan has also invited you to a lot of meals this year. Every time it's a big meal, he doesn't care about money."

Caquetas said, "He is not short of money now. After winning the Golden Globe Award, he has received several big advertisements, such as Nike, Pepsi, Gillette and so on. He is now the richest in our team."

Lin Fenglei nodded: "That's the treat."

Lin Fenglei still recognizes Egman's hospitality. Egman is indeed the best player in the team. It is understandable that he got the advertising contract, but his performance is also the credit of his teammates. Therefore, Egman's frequent invitation can effectively enhance the relationship with his teammates and eliminate the possible dissatisfaction of his teammates, which is very good for the unity and harmony within the Gosho team. In this regard, Egman is indeed a very smart player.

Therefore, Lin Fenglei is up to the players to make trouble between games. Anyway, the targeted training that should be done has been done for a long time. Now it's just a warm-up, as long as the players don't go too far.
