I Want to Be the King of Football

Su Dong saw Klopp again at the entrance of the player tunnel before the game.

The players of the two teams were lined up in two teams, and the referee from Belgium, Frank de Blakely, with his assistants, was also ready and could walk into the stadium at any time.

As the captain of the team, Su Dong stood at the front of the queue, right at the entrance.

Klopp was about to enter the stadium and happened to pass by Su Dong. When the two met, Su Dong didn't know much.

This German man, who was always full of beards and looked sloppy on weekdays, rarely shaved his beard and put on a suit tonight.

What? Don't know? Klopp asked with a grin.

When Su Dong saw his yellowed teeth from smoking, and smelled the smoke on his body, he immediately understood.

Sure enough Klopp!

Su Dong is still very impressed with this German coach who almost worked with Bayern, because the Mainz and Dortmund he coached are hard to forget, and the styles are very unique.

I almost didn't recognize you. Su Dong smiled and stretched out his hand.

Klopp held Su Dong's hand firmly, Be careful tonight.

Okay. Su Dong nodded.

Klopp waved his hand to say goodbye and walked straight out of the tunnel.

Looking at his stalwart back, Su Dong really wanted to talk to him, it's best to get his teeth cleaned and whitened.

How can you say that you are a famous Bundesliga handsome, so you can't take your image into consideration?

Of course, it does not rule out that he deliberately maintains this sloppy uncle's image to gain some alternative attention.

...

Su, he's threatening you!

The little caddie Foden next to him looked at Klopp, who had disappeared at the entrance of the player tunnel, with disgust, and said.

Then what? Su Dong laughed.

Teach him! Teach him hard! Foden's little hand made a chopping motion.

Oh, I didn't expect that this kid is really a ruthless guy.

I can't beat him. Look at his height and size. He looks like a boxer. He used to be a central defender.

Foden raised his head, looked up at Su Dong, and asked, Aren't you the one who specifically abused those central defenders?

Su Dong was amused and didn't know how to continue.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something.

I found out, why are you always on my side recently? Su Dong was a little puzzled.

When Foden heard this, he immediately reached out and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Another caddie next to him immediately shouted: He bribed us with pocket money.

Yes, yes, he promised to invite us to drink, and we gave it to him.

Phil, you can't break your promise.

As soon as the children got excited, they all started booing.

Foden was very embarrassed, and immediately waved his hand, indicating that these teammates were all silent.

Understood, what's the noise?

Not to mention, this kid is probably doing well in the youth team, and when he shouts, others really don't dare to speak.

Su Dong reached out and scratched Foden's head, thinking that this kid is a big kid, very interesting.

In fact, Manchester City's youth training is still doing well. They have participated in the Youth Champions League before, and their results are also good. A group of young players headed by Sterling, Bellerin and others will definitely take over the team's class in the future. .

More importantly, Manchester City has been ramping up their efforts.

In terms of hardware, the training base in the center of Manchester is under construction. In terms of software, high-level youth training experts have been introduced over the years to increase the emphasis and investment on youth training. In terms of players, the team is also searching everywhere. Young talents, enriching the club's youth training camp.

Soriano and Begiristan are both very knowledgeable management teams, backed by the funds of the Abu Dhabi consortium, they can fully show their skills.

And youth training is the future of Manchester City.

…………

Led by Frank de Blakely, the two teams entered the field one after another.

Manchester City are still playing four-three-three tonight.

The goalkeeper is Courtois, the back line is Marcelo, Pepe, Kompany and Zabaleta, the midfielder is behind Busquets, David Silva and Toni Kroos are forward, the former The trident is the combination of Di Maria, Sudong and Sanchez.

All the main players are basically Manchester City's regular starting lineup, with Courtois starting instead of Joe Hart.

After the European Super Cup, there were a lot of voices from the outside world, especially when Joe Hart performed badly and did not play well in the national team, which led to the outside world's doubts about him getting louder and louder.

Guardiola has long been dissatisfied with Joe Hart. In the crucial battle against Dortmund this time, he simply supported Courtois directly and let Joe Hart sit on the bench. His attitude was already obvious. If exposed.

From the beginning of the season to now, the two goalkeepers have played one game each. From the perspective of performance, Courtois is indeed slightly better, and his performance is on the rise. Although Joe Hart is also working hard, he is not too adaptable after all. .

Tonight is also a big test for Courtois.

Therefore, after playing, Su Dong applauded all his teammates one by one. When giving encouragement, he patted Courtois on the shoulder, indicating that he should work harder, but don't be under pressure, just do his best.

Dortmund have a four-two-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Weidenfeller, the back line is Schmelzer, Felipe Santana, Subotic and Pišček, the double midfielder is Sven Bender and the captain Kyle, and the front is Grosscroft. Itz, Kagawa Shinji and Gotze, the single striker is Lewandowski.

Perisic, whom Klopp attaches great importance to, was put on the bench, and Gundogan, who was introduced this summer, did not start this game. Obviously, they are still giving them time to help them integrate into the team.

Manchester City played the Europa League against Lech Poznan in Poland last season. This team is very strong and even beat Juventus to qualify. At that time, many people said when analyzing this team, if not If the main center Lewandowski leaves the team, Lech Poznan will be even stronger.

Lewandowski's move to Dortmund.

Despite the poor performance last season, the strength is unquestionable.

When guessing, Dortmund chose to give priority to free throws.

Lewandowski and Gotze stood at the penalty spot in the middle circle, while Su Dong was on the right side of the middle circle.

Referee De Blakely kept watching the time.

After a crisp whistle, the game officially began.

...

After Dortmund kicked off, Gotze passed the ball back to central defender Subotic for the first time.

Su Dong also pressed forward for the first time, and when Subotic received the ball, he had already rushed nearby.

The Croatian central defender chose to divide the ball to the right and handed it over to his partner Santana.

At this time, Dortmund's two full-backs were already pressing forward.

Santana was oppressed by Di Maria and kicked forward with a big foot, trying to pass to the right front to find Gotze, but Marcelo took the lead and headed the ball back.

David Silva turned around to catch the ball and moved forward with the ball. As a result, Dortmund's midfielder Kyle entangled David Silva in time and stalked David Silva. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The ball is lost.

After grabbing the ball, Dortmund made a continuous pass.

Sven Bender passed to Grosskreuz, who crossed to Shinji Kagawa.

The Japanese, nicknamed Osora Wing of Asia, dribbled the ball forward, caught Busquets' attention, and then crossed to Gotze.

Gotze kept the ball, pushed the ball forward and stuffed it into the penalty area.

Lewandowski broke free from Kompany's entanglement and rushed directly to the penalty area.

Courtois resolutely gave up the goal and rushed directly to the penalty spot. He fell to the ground and hugged the ball, making Lewandowski one step behind. The Polish center reluctantly skipped Courtois and returned in disappointment. .

Although it was just a quick counterattack, it was clear that Dortmund was difficult.

When defending, whether this team is pressing from a high position, stalking, or defending from position, they are very skillful and well-organized. Once the ball is snatched, their counterattack is very fast. The players cooperate very concisely and quickly with each other, and it is easy to be caught off guard.

Guardiola told the team long before the game to be patient no matter what.

Don't be in a hurry, control the ball, control the rhythm, and don't be led by Dortmund's nose.

The Manchester City fans in the audience responded with warm applause to Courtois, who was decisively attacking.

Step by step, the Belgian goalkeeper is earning the trust of Manchester City players and fans.

...

After the start of the game, the two teams basically did not hold back and fought very fiercely.

Dortmund's style of play is very aggressive.

For example, Santana can push forward and push Di Maria away when he competes for the header with Di Maria. Tony Cross can be shoveled to the ground by Sven Bender as soon as he stops the ball. , Su Dong was not less violated by his opponents.

There are a lot of small moves, but they are enough. The main focus is on harassment. Coupled with Klopp's aggressive tactics, Dortmund, after the start, although they are mainly defensive, they are also on an equal footing with Manchester City. .

Su Dong can clearly feel that compared with the Dortmund team he met in the Bundesliga two years ago, the current Hornets are obviously more mature, and the players cooperate more tacitly. Klopp's tactics are obviously already. Sanded to shape.

The overall strength of this team is better than that of Mainz, which he coached at the beginning.

But today's Manchester City's strength is also not weak.

Especially at Manchester City's own home ground.

Although Dortmund played very proactively after the opening, Manchester City was also very patient, slow and slow, controlled the ball slowly, and waited for an opportunity.

Once caught the loophole, immediately launched a counterattack.

In the fourth minute of the game, after Manchester City intercepted the ball in midfield, David Silva took a step forward, and without waiting for the defender to get close, he sent an overhead pass with his left foot, which went directly to the penalty area. .

Su Dong quickly plugged in, and Santana followed closely behind, chasing the ball away.
