Chapter 135 The Champion and the Monopoly (Welcome to Follow the WeChat Official Account!)
Every club has its own way of living. In the Bundesliga, probably only Bayern can truly be called a monopoly.
Just like the classic Monopoly game, Bayern belongs to the existence that can monopolize most of the high-quality resources of the Bundesliga with banknotes.
Bayern can play like this, because they have become a brand of the Bundesliga, even if their performance has declined in the past few seasons, it will still not affect them, but Dortmund can't afford to play with them.
In that regard, the Dortmund management haven't gotten carried away with one season of success. They are well aware of their advantages in winning the championship.
Keeping the team with Zhou Tian as the core is their greatest confidence.
Because a lot of people left, the team received a fake training camp, and the base seemed deserted. Except for a few young people promoted by Klopp from the reserve team, the only news that the reporters who visited the base outside the base were more gratifying was the training atmosphere. Very active, the stars of Dortmund's main team are in a very relaxed state.
After the vacation, the Dortmund team went to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where they conducted the first stage of pre-season preparations. Dortmund already have less preparation time than other Bundesliga teams due to the European Cup, and their season starts earlier than most teams.
The new Bundesliga season starts on August 24, but Dortmund must play in the German Super Cup half a month in advance. This is a championship before the start of each season, which means that the new season officially begins.
So there is really not much time left for Dortmund. In addition to the regular recovery training, Klopp urgently needs everyone to return to the game state. Especially for several international players who have played in the European Cup, the number of games in a season exceeds 60 games. It is not so easy to restore these main players.
In Amsterdam, Dortmund temporarily rented a training ground of the Eredivisie giants Ajax. In addition to being able to use the relevant facilities here, more importantly, they can make an appointment with Ajax to warm up.
Dortmund and Ajax had two warm-up games, 2:0 and 3:2. Dortmund achieved a double play against the Eredivisie champions. Klopp was very satisfied with the team's performance. At least the main players he had high hopes for played better than expected better. Zhou Tiancheng is obviously also adjusting himself in these two games. He has neither scored nor assisted, but his organization in the midfield is still clear and he has fully activated his teammates.
This is what Klopp wanted, even though he still pretended to be dissatisfied with Zhou Tiancheng after the game: "Zhou, why did you take so few shots in these two games, tell me why?"
"Boss, there is no chance on the field, and I think everyone should share the ball together. Anyway, this is just a warm-up match, and everyone should find their status as soon as possible. Boss, do you agree?"
Klopp looked at him deeply,
I asked a question: "Although I am willing to believe it, I still want to explain one more thing. I want to see your normal state at the Super Bowl. Can you guarantee it?"
Zhou Tiancheng nodded: "Isn't it Bayern? Boss, I'm not bragging. I'm about to vomit. I'm a professional in this area."
"This is the best, Zhou. You know, I'm actually worried that it's because of your body. Just married men are always not so energetic... Well, you should understand."
Seeing Klopp coughing lightly and grinning, Zhou Tiancheng almost couldn't help spraying water on his face.
Nima, so this is my image? It seems that your past-life middle-aged uncle's spare time life is definitely not monotonous.
"Boss, you don't need to worry about this, because I'm not Kevin." Zhou Tiancheng answered with a straight face.
After the first stage of training and warm-up in Amsterdam, entering August, Dortmund returned to Germany half a month before the start of the German Super Cup. The final season preparation is mainly based on adjusting the state. In the two warm-up games, Klopp's main lineup has not changed at all, so Klopp saves the most difficult job of running the lineup before the season.
For the opponent Bayern in the Super Cup, Klopp does not intend to practice too much targeted tactics. Although Bayern has turned upside down in the transfer market and bought one big name after another at a high price, Klopp only instilled one point in the players: "We are the champions, guys! Champions are won by kicks, not by money, otherwise they will never be short of money. Why have Schalke and us Dortmund been the hegemons in the past three to five years? This week is the most important thing. right to speak."
...
This Super Cup has attracted much attention, but as far as this game is concerned, Bayern is far more eye-catching than Dortmund.
All the commentaries of Dortmund's starting lineup can be memorized. All eyes are on Bayern.
Everyone is paying attention to how Heynckes arranges this more luxurious formation.
Heynckes started this game in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
The goalkeeper Neuer is unstoppable, the two central defenders adopt a combination of the old and the new, the German international Jerome Boateng partnered with the new aid Dante, and the captain Lahm served as the right back. It is worth noting that at the left back position, Heynke Adams used Emre Can, a youth player who had just been promoted to the first team. He originally came from the defensive midfielder position. Today, Heynckes is interested in exploring his potential.
In addition, the midfielder's double midfielder is Tony Kross partner Gustavo, Gustavo delays the defense, and Kross is responsible for the offensive connection. Ribery and Arjen Robben are on the left and right sides respectively. Thomas Muller is the starting attacking midfielder and the striker has a single arrow position. The Croatian Mandzukic got a chance. He is about the same size as Mario Gomez, but he has a stronger impact than Gomez. He belongs to the type that can pull onions on dry land in the penalty area to complete the air control.
Heynckes obviously wanted to use him as a true air fighter. So when the functions of the two overlap, Bayern can even give the absolute main force of last season to Serie A Fiorentina.
As soon as the main lineups of the two sides were lined up, Marcel Leff was not calm: "Bayern's family background is really too strong. Dortmund is still a familiar face last season, but it may be even more difficult for them to defend their title this season. Crowe It is very risky for Pu to streamline the lineup. Of course, we have never doubted that Dortmund's temperament for the championship is still there, but the championship can never be solved by temperament. Let's see who is sitting on the bench for Dortmund? Oh... 4.2 million euros Gross Kreutz can still be named, and there are Bidangku and Bakalotz who are worth less than one million euros... let's look at Bayern..."
On Bayern's bench, even Harvey Martinez, who is basically locked in the Bundesliga's transfer bid, dropped 42 million euros and was put on the bench for the first game.
Bayern's formation can only be said to be unreasonable, and the banknotes waving have shown their determination.
