Chapter 42 Distorted Mentality

After returning to Leverkusen, Kramer played 2015 games throughout the 16-28 season. Leverkusen ranked third in the league, which seems to be a good result.

But for Kramer, everything has become different. In Borussia, he is the main defensive midfielder, the team's metronome, and controls the rhythm of the game.

But after returning to Leverkusen, the then head coach Schmidt kept changing Kramer's position, which made Kramer very uncomfortable. At that time, Leverkusen's formation was a double midfielder, which was the same as Borussia. , but at Borussia, Kramer was the one who held the ball, but back to Leverkusen, it was Lars Bender who held the ball, and Bender firmly occupied the core position. The back masters the ball, while the midfielder Charhanoglu takes the ball and passes the ball in front. These two occupy almost 70% of the team's ball right away. There are also Bella Rabi in the frontcourt. "Individually compared" players, which made Kramer, who is very possessive of the ball, extremely uncomfortable, but Kramer knew how he could become the core at once when he returned to Borussia, so he was willing to play at the beginning.

But after a period of time, Kramer found that the coach gradually allowed himself to defend more tackles. Although it is said that the work of the midfielder is just that, it cannot be said that all the work is dirty work. This makes Kramer Very dissatisfied, because in Borussia's time, although there was a division of labor, both midfielders were doing dirty work, and both had the opportunity to pass the ball.

But in Leverkusen, he gradually changed from a lagging playmaker to a ball-grabbing machine. How can a pure ball-grabbing machine be selected for the national team?
Cramer was unhappy, but the team seemed to be doing well for it.

Everyone was very happy, and Kramer also found that his defense was really good, but after losing the national team, Kramer asked his friend Muller to ask the reason why the national team's assistant coach, he still didn't Dare to let Mueller go to Loew directly.

Muller and Kramer shared a room during the World Cup, and the roommates for 10 weeks can become good friends anyway, not to mention Mueller is also very easy to get along with.

So Mueller went to ask.

The conclusion reached is that the national team does not need a pure ball-grabbing machine or a pure tool man role.

Cramer was heartbroken when he came to this conclusion. He had guessed this before, but he didn't expect his guess to come true.

He knows that in modern football, players have multiple attributes, and there are many kinds of midfielder positions. However, according to Cramer, the defensive midfielder can be divided into two simple types, the ball-grabbing machine that simply does dirty work and the one that controls the rhythm and passes in the backcourt. The lagging organization core.

Of course he wants to be the core playmaker and enter the national team. The feeling of being a national hero makes him unable to extricate himself, so he doesn't want to lose the national team.

The European Cup in 16 is his battlefield, and he must be selected.

For this reason, he found Leverkusen's head coach Schmidt and expressed his wishes.

Schmidt agreed, so in the next three games, Kramer became a single midfielder, the kind of single midfielder that drags down the playmaker.

But these three games have one draw and two losses. If Cramer is to say that he is wronged, because these three games are against Bayern, Dortmund and Wolfsburg. The first two are traditional giants, and Wolfsburg That season rose and was also very strong.

Judging from the reasons for conceding the ball, in many cases, the side was blown up, but the media and fans don't see it that way. The biggest point of the change is Kramer, so Schmidt hastily switched back to the original mode. After switching back, the opponents for 3 consecutive games are all teams in the relegation zone, which is naturally a wave of winning streak.

So it is fixed like this, and Kramer did not enter the national team logically. After the end of this season, Borussia wanted to sign Kramer because Xhaka was bought by Arsenal. Kramer returned to Borussia with his arms in his arms and said The idea that it might be possible to become the core again went back.

But half the season has passed.

Borussia's performance is too bad.

And Schubert is not a very talkative coach.

Kramer has also become insignificant. As for the position, he is not even a defensive midfielder. The team's defensive midfielder is now Strobl, and he is just a left-sided central midfielder.And the absolute core of the team is Dahoud.

His work with the team has become more instrumental.

His mentality has also changed.

So when Schubert went on to say, we need to make some moves this time, and the moves should be bigger, so that the other party dare not have any extra thoughts about us.

Cramer understood immediately, big moves, shoveling, small moves, logging brigade. Kramer, who had worked hard in the famous Bundesliga logging team Leverkusen before, was very impressed with this. door clear.

Leverkusen has this kind of logging tradition, especially when facing Bayern and Dortmund, they are relentless in shoveling people.

Kramer hated these things at that time, but today is different, he is not considered the core midfielder in Borussia now, so he needs to prove himself, so today's game, such a game that requires logging, then he Isn't it the protagonist?

Cramer entered the game with that in mind.

And his first goal is Dembele on the right.

Today, Dortmund Reus is the center, Wang Yi is the left winger, and Dembele is the right winger.

"Wang Yi, Thomas thinks highly of you."

When queuing up, Dembele suddenly said to Wang Yi beside him.

Wang Yi gave Dembele a strange look.

What did this internet addict say?

"Look, Thomas asked you to play left winger, and asked me to switch to the right side. I have always played left side before, besides, can't you also play right side?"

Wang Yi didn't know what to say. Indeed, as the team's main player, Dembele has always played as a left winger, and occasionally played a right winger. Although Dembele is also balanced on both feet, he suddenly changed positions. It will be strange, especially Dembele, who plays on the left.

Wang Yi had no choice but to comfort him.

Dembele stopped talking, and Wang glanced at Dembele, and it seemed that his anger had disappeared.

Yes, just a greenhouse of flowers.

Wang Yi is not very familiar with Dembele's family, but from the conversation, he can feel that Dembele doesn't seem to know much about some practical issues in life, and he is also very lavish about spending money.

For parents, how should I put it, they are very dependent.

It's not easy for Wang Yi to comment. Although he has a good relationship with Dembele, Wang Yi can't stand Dembele's childlike personality.

After a brief exchange, the game is about to begin.
