Chapter 131: Higher-Ranking as the Core!
Entering November, Dortmund leads the Bundesliga standings, and its position is very dazzling, but the team has also fallen into troubled times under the exaggeration of media reports.
Before the 11th round of the weekend league, many German media have confirmed the conflict between Shen Feng and Valdes on the training ground.
Things happened quickly and ended quickly.
It happened to be able to make the German media repeatedly hype, ferment, and become a hot spot of public opinion.
Klopp clarified at the pre-match press conference that the two did not have a physical conflict, and only had an aggressive confrontational collision during training.
But it does not reduce the outside world's speculation about Dortmund's locker room.
He even labeled Shen Feng as a "troublemaker".
The label of cancer was stuck on his body again.
Dortmund host Bochum.
Valdes did not enter the game squad.
In this way, Klopp expressed his position on handling this matter.
In the case of choosing one or the other, right or wrong is not important. If it has not risen to the level of universal values of right and wrong, the club is of course very realistic.
Since the contradictions cannot be reconciled, the only way is for the parties concerned to recognize the reality.
If Valdes harbors a grudge, he can target Klopp.
But the essence of the status quo is his strength.
If he was more efficient, contributed more, and played a more important role than Shen Feng, it would be Shen Feng who was kicked out of the squad!
Westfalen Stadium.
Bochum strikes.
Dortmund fans have put more and more slogans supporting Shen Feng in the stands in the past month.
There is even a giant portrait of him in the South Stand today!
Because Dortmund fans regard him as the hope of revival!
11 goals in 10 games, 5 assists, 16 goals alone.
Can more be asked of a player who is about to turn 20?
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Shen Feng does not score goals until the end of the winter break, he will still be an important member of Dortmund's reconstruction and revival.
The game begins.
Dortmund continued the technique and tactics of playing short passes in the frontcourt in the middle of the week.
Bochum put up an iron barrel formation in the away game with a very honest body.
Dortmund's short pass efficiency at home has declined compared to mid-week.
The fluctuations in the state of continuous combat have affected the performance in actual combat.
Schmelzer can't continue to shuttle on the wing even if he starts consecutively.
Owomoyela is still mainly cautious, resulting in insufficient front and side support for Dortmund.
The offensive short pass is more concentrated in the middle, and the lack of utilization of the width of the field is more likely to be destroyed by Bochum's siege.
After 30 minutes in the first half, Shen Feng and Qi Dan began to advance individually more frequently.
As long as there is a chance to break through the first time, the two will immediately dribble forward, no matter what is behind the first line of defense.
Because they really didn't put enough pressure on Bochum.
There is room to press, but no shot threat.
Both of them looked like they couldn't get in, and they would always be intercepted and destroyed by the tight defense line after they passed the back line.
Even if they rush forward, the chances are very average, and the quality of the forced kick shot even shakes their heads.
However, facing Bochum's stubborn defense, the two fought more and more courageously!
I firmly believe that I can smash their turtle shells!
Before the end of the first half, Bochum broke through Schmelzer's defense zone with a quick counterattack, and then a wave of crosses cooperated to complete the goal!
Dortmund 0:1 Bochum at home.
Klopp's face was a little ugly.
When Shen Feng keeps making headlines, Klopp will not be ignored by the media.
From the stunning appearance at the beginning of the season to the rapid decline in word-of-mouth.
The outside world's comments on him are simple and rude: When your players can't rush, what are you capable of?
It seems that Klopp is at the end of his rope.
Many people interpret lore and absolute will hastily assume that there is a high element of luck in it.
When Klopp's Dortmund was unable to constantly intimidate, threaten, destroy, and insult the opponent's defense with violent attacks, they did not have a more delicate and smooth overall tacit cooperation to penetrate the opponent's defense.
For players or coaches, lack of ability can be used to criticize.
If the players can't play well, it is because the players are not capable enough, and the coach can't turn his ideas into reality.
The coach can clearly see the predicament, but he can't make a positive chemical reaction between the players. This coach's ability is very average.
This is clearly a paradox.
However, it has been repeatedly used by the media as a weapon to criticize the team. Anyway, just aim at one point and fire. As for whether it is scientific or not, it does not matter if there is a paradox.
During the intermission, Klopp was clearly frustrated, but accidentally saw Shen Feng actively cleaning up the sneakers that had fallen into the mud, putting on his socks, putting on ankle braces, and wrapping up tape
When Shen Feng raised his head again, his face was full of confidence and fighting spirit was high.
He has long been used to conceding goals and falling behind. He has been in a small team for a long time and has long been immune to this situation.
As long as he doesn't have the bad mood of pig teammates who are dragging his feet, he is still very simple in the face of the game.
Regardless of whether he can fight well or not, he has the awareness to do his best to fight and do his best.
Seeing this, Klopp retracted his gaze, but his heart was a little infected.
Perhaps this is what young players should look like.
And he himself should also be regarded as a young coach. After all, he was only practicing in Mainz, and he really has the stage and resources to flex his muscles in Dortmund.
The frustration in my heart dissipated without a trace in an instant.
Klopp put on a serious posture for midfield training and adjustments.
The team unswervingly followed the tactical direction he deployed before the game.
Player development requires tolerance for mistakes.
The same goes for coaches.
Before the result comes out, Klopp can't waver halfway.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Dortmund's offensive frequency in the frontcourt could not be raised to the extreme.
Facing an opponent with a big bus, there is not as much space as in a tug-of-war to overwhelm the opponent at a fast pace. Either use the number of attacks to force the opponent to make mistakes or their own luck to explode, or they can only maintain patience and improve the quality of offense. Now Dortmund chooses the latter.
When Shen Feng and Qi Dan charged for another 10 minutes, Bochum's defense was stable and contained the two individual attacks, but then the two tacitly switched styles of play.
Dortmund's midfielders took turns to move forward. With Shen Feng and Qi Dan joining forces, Shaheen and Tinga created shooting threats in the penalty area one after another.
But it's still not interesting, the shot is powerful enough, and the angle is not tricky.
The Bochum defense line was a little dizzy.
When concentrating forces to block the middle lane, in the 67th minute of the game, Shen Feng and Qi Dan collided with the wall in the front area of the penalty area to cooperate, and Shaheen and Tinga advanced from both sides to further shrink the Bochum defense line.
At this time, Shen Feng suddenly passed the ball obliquely to the right rib of the penalty area and approached the side area.
When everyone turned their eyes, it was Kuba who had been silent for a long time!
After Kuba stopped the ball, he didn't shoot. After taking a step towards the bottom line, he passed the ball back in an inverted triangle.
Qi Dan just got in place when he went forward, but seeing a defensive player in front of him to block, he kicked the ball and sent it to the left.
He is blind.
But very confident.
He knew that man would definitely appear there!
Turning his head to look, Shen Feng really killed him!
There was such a small space in the Bochum penalty area, but it was not only created under Dortmund's extreme tearing and extreme cooperation state, but Shen Feng also appeared in this position!
Shen Feng didn't need to adjust to the football rolling in front of him, he looked up at the goal and then calmly pushed the ball to the lower right corner of the goal!
The football galloped through the gap of the crowd against the turf, and when the goalkeeper reacted, he had no chance to save.
Under the eyes of everyone, the football rolled into the goal against the inside of the right post!
Dortmund fans cheer!
"Shen Feng! It was Shen Feng who stood up at the critical moment again!
He equalized for Dortmund!
This is the 12th goal in the league, he is simply a goal machine! "
Seeing Tinga rushing into the goal, Shen Feng took the initiative to give Qi Dan a high five when he turned around and retreated.
Klopp celebrated with a punch, followed by a clap to boost team morale.
Dortmund's morale is high.
They are self-aware.
Klopp's oppressive tactics are indeed strong, but they consume too much. It is hard to say who can't hold on, but after a long-term battle, it is difficult to guarantee continuity.
Especially the faster the pace, the lower the defense line fault tolerance rate.
There is no one technique and tactics that can guarantee victory in every battle.
What's more, the adjustment before the technical tactics are not fully mature, in conclusion, the long process of running in must pay a price.
On this rough and tortuous road, Shen Feng made more and more contributions to the team. He proved himself and at the same time lowered the cost of growth for the team.
If it is said that Shaheen, Hummels, Schmelzer and the others support Shen Feng because of their friendship, then people like Subotic, Zidan, Kuba, Kyle and others are on Shen Feng's side, It is completely based on the interests of the team, and truly focuses on the overall situation.
In a way, they are like-minded.
Because Valdes, Hajnal, and Lee Young-pyo did not win the recognition and trust of the majority.
Dortmund continued to maintain the previous rhythm to attack, while Bochum strengthened their defense after 70 minutes of the game.
Small teams have no ambitions, and substitutions and adjustments are basically routine operations.
How can there be the courage like Schaff to let Werder Bremen even fight the bayonet even if the score is equalized.
Dortmund's tough situation has become more difficult.
Bochum is almost blocking the door.
In the 75th minute of the game, Shen Feng's consciousness fell into darkness.
The golden light fell, and the national flag emerged.
Argentina flag.
Samuel, wearing an Inter Milan jersey, stepped out of it.
Shen Feng frowned slightly.
Age: 28.
Season: 2006-2007.
A central defender appeared in two consecutive games.
Shen Feng adjusted his mentality, the figures overlapped, and after his consciousness returned to reality, he concentrated on the game.
Act as if nothing happened.
Klopp replaced Frey again.
But this time he removed Hummels.
Strengthen the offense and weaken the defense.
It is bound to make it impossible for Bochum to retreat from the Westfalenstadion.
Frey and Zidan stood up in the penalty area to grab points.
Shen Feng retreated slightly to assist Shaheen and Tinga, ensuring that the long-range shots from the outside could continue to run smoothly.
Amidst the passionate cheers of the fans, Dortmund completely suppressed Bochum with their indiscriminate bombing!
