Chapter 177 Diligent Role Model
Dortmund entered a difficult situation in the second half, and the biggest difference between Matip and Mohamed is that he is not afraid of fouls or even cards, and he dares to make moves.
But his actions were much cleaner than Mohammed's. Even so, he also received a yellow card, but the referee was always lenient and did not give him a red card.
The final score in the second half was also 2:0. Dortmund relied on Zize and Shinji Kagawa's goals in the first half to beat Cologne away and complete a double play against their opponents.
However, the loss of this game is still relatively serious.
Cologne's logging tactics not only affected the game, but also many players were injured in this game.
The winter break has become shorter this year, but there are still some players who have not been able to adjust in the first place. As soon as they came up, they encountered such a high-intensity game, and many players were injured.
Shinji Kagawa was kicked by Muhammad in the first half, but it was not a big problem, but then in the second half, he injured his ankle during a foot-to-foot fight and was eventually replaced by Gotze.
The other is Owomoyela. He strained his thigh during a sprint in the second half. The German right back, who played almost all the games in the first half of the season, received bad news after the game. He will be sidelined for more than two months.
Shinji Kagawa is slightly better, and he probably only needs a week or two to rest before returning, but there is a shortage of people at the right back position of Dortmund.
This forced Klopp to replace Owomoyela with a young right-back Hill in the next round of the league, but he does not seem ready to play in the Bundesliga, facing the league's fourth-placed Hamburger team , Dortmund drew with their opponents 1:1 at home. The Brazilian midfielder Tinga scored the goal. The Hamburg team has been attacking Dortmund's right. The young right back Hill seemed a little helpless against their indiscriminate bombing.
Later, Klopp made a bold decision. He replaced Gross Crotz and replaced Hill.
Gross Klotz has always been a striker in the youth training team and Red and White Allen. He has also played as a winger. The ball is very desperate, and will use diligence to make up for its lack of strength.
So Klopp told him that he was going to play as a defender in this game.
Gross Klotz has no dissatisfaction, but is very happy. The reason is very simple, and he can represent Dortmund in the game!
In his words, as long as he can represent Dortmund in the game, he can play in any position, and he will do his best to help the football team. Klopp is very satisfied with his attitude, and once again praised Grosk by name at the team meeting Roots, calling him a role model for the team's hard work.
In the ensuing games, he played fairly well. Before that, Hill was repeatedly broken through, but he stabilized a lot after he came on the field.
Of course, it is a pity not to win the game.
After this game, Klopp began to look for a right back in the transfer market. He had planned to find a right back for a long time, but it was difficult for any team in the middle of the league to be willing to let him go, and there was not enough time, so he had to give up.
Klopp's response plan also came out.
Gross Klotz began to be arranged at the right back position in the next training. In the team match, Zize and Gross Klotz, who often played on the left, faced up a lot.
Zize discovered that his characteristics are just like what many coaches have said, he plays hard, fights for every ball, and grabs every ball!
Even in training.
This attitude can indeed make up for the gap in ability.
Many people will say that in the face of an absolute gap in strength, hard work and hard work are just floating clouds, but if a player with not bad strength has such a fighting spirit, then things will be different.
On the training field, whether Zize is dribbling or passing the ball, it seems that there is a player following him everywhere. In fact, Gross Klotz did not defend Zize like a jellyfish style. After all, it is training and there is no need for it. Such an exaggeration.
But every time the ball comes to Zitzer, Grosscrotz will rush up from a long distance!
Energetic, high-spirited, unyielding!
This is the fighting power of Dortmund diehards!
After several training sessions, Klopp came to Zize to ask him about the training situation. What he cared most about was Gross Klotz, and he wanted to ask Zize, who had the most opponents, what he thought.
It is strange to say that Klopp's tactics this season do not have a true left winger, and Qi Ce has a relatively high degree of freedom on the offensive end. He usually operates in the middle and left. play.
After getting Zize's approval, Klopp was a little relieved, Owomoyela's position was finally replaced by someone.
On the last day of January, Dortmund was still quiet in the transfer market, and the fans were a little anxious. Everyone knows Owomoyela's situation, and he will be injured for more than a month. Is it true that Klopp really intends to let Ge Ross Klotz continues to play as a right back?
Same day, Mercedes-Benz Arena.
After the starting lineup for Stuttgart's game against Dortmund came out, the fans knew the answer.
Really intend to do so.
Gross Klotz appeared in the starting list, the position is right back.
The fans were puzzled by this decision, but they liked this young player who didn't play many games, but would go all out every time he played, let alone a player from the team's own youth training.
Fans of this game also discovered an interesting thing.
Zize also played hard in the frontcourt.
It's not that he didn't play hard before, but that Qi Ce was more active in responding and fighting for half the ball in this game.
This is the result of playing a lot with Gross Klotz in the past half month.
Qi Ce is actually a relatively hard-working player. With Dongke's peak possession, Qi Ce often runs in the frontcourt to steal.
In addition, in terms of support, Qi Ce's running position is very good, and he can always find space. It's another matter if he can't pass it. In short, Qi Ce's running is also relatively active.
But today is a little different.
Not just in terms of running, but more in terms of control of the ball.
Gross Klotz's struggle is mainly in the fight for and control of every ball. The most important thing is that he does a good job in control. After grabbing the ball, if he can't pass it comfortably, he will do everything possible. Control the ball.
If it really doesn't work, find a way to kick it out, try to be as far away from your own half as possible.
In addition to clearing, this attribute is also very important for attackers. Holding the ball and then giving it to teammates will open up another way of thinking for offense.
There is also a one-half ball scramble.
Before that, Qi Ce would always think of using system skills such as stop assist or undefeated golden body to help himself, but these have a limit on the number of times after all. If there is no skill, Qi Ce will be less effective in such a fight.
If you have more possession of the ball, you will have more chances to attack, and you may be able to destroy the opponent's chance to counterattack. This will have a big impact on the outcome of the game.
This is the subtle influence!
Playing with Gross Klotz, such a desperate player is also a good spur to other teammates. As long as the ability is similar, such a player can also set an example in the team.
Stuttgart played very hard.
They did not perform well this season, and it can even be said that they have plummeted. The outside world generally believes that this is the reason why the team's top scorer Gomez left the team. Last season, Gomez scored 26 goals in the Bundesliga. Without this Firepower, Stuttgart's best shooter this season, Kakao, has only scored 5 goals. Although the season is only halfway through, he didn't even reach one-fifth of Gomez's last season.
Without so many goals, Stuttgart's position in the standings is naturally not good. They are ranked outside the tenth place, and this game is also very passive.
In the face of Dortmund's stormy attack, they can only be exhausted.
