Chapter 595 Guiding the country?
Under the ridicule of Leverkusen fans, the Dortmund quickly left the scene, and Bayer Arena became a sea of joy in Leverkusen.
Leverkusen advanced to the first final of the season, the German Cup final. Now, they can quietly wait for their final opponents. It is highly likely that Bayern Munich, who was just eliminated in the Champions League and was lagging behind Leverkusen in the league. They will definitely strive to reach the final in the German Cup. Although the German Cup is really a useless event for Bayern Munich, if they can't even win the German Cup this season, it would be a failure.
Leverkusen also reached the German Cup final after 7 years in 1993. If everything goes well this season, they will have the hope of winning a triple-champion like Manchester United in the Premier League...
However, at the post-match press conference, almost all German media reporters were talking about Ricken and Zheng Zhi, who seemed to have forgotten the German Cup. Everyone was denying Zheng Zhi, worried about Ricken.
Woller played against dozens of reporters at the press conference. At this time, he had to stand up and defend Zheng Zhi, although he would likely become the head coach of the German team this summer. Ricken was injured, but he was not the one who played in the Dutch European Championships in the German team.
"I can deeply understand your mood at this moment, and I feel very sorry for Ricken's injury," Waller slowly organized the language.
"but,"
"Have any of you watched slow-motion replay seriously?"
"Everyone says that German journalists are the most professional journalists in Europe. You really have an objective discussion on this matter? We didn't want to discuss this matter, but you are so persistent? In fact, Zheng Zhi did not make a foul at all. This is a misjudgment by the referee, and the slow motion is clearly displayed. This yellow card is a wronged yellow card, which does not exist at all. As for Ricken's injury, it is completely due to bad luck. Zheng Zhi's tackle is much clearer and cleaner than the water on the Rhine River!"
"Why don't you think about it the other way around, how bad Dortmund's movements are? If Ribery hadn't been lucky, maybe he would have followed Ricken."
"Come on, I don't want to discuss this anymore."
"We have to prepare for the second battle with Dortmund next, and I hope we can still win them at home."
After three consecutive home games, Leverkusen's luck was so good. But is Dortmund interested in fighting Leverkusen for another match? It is highly unlikely that. Dortmund players tasted a historical failure at Bayer Arena.
The next day, although "Kicker" was also reporting on Ricken's injury, it still put the news about Leverkusen on the headlines.
1005 passes are the craziest data ever. In the first German Cup semi-final last night, Leverkusen completed 1005 passes in 90 minutes. This data is unprecedented in football before, while opponent Dortmund had only 382 passes. In terms of ball possession rate, Leverkusen's ball possession rate reached 77% at the highest and the lowest possession rate was 65%. Compared with such a huge data gap, it is natural that Leverkusen won.
As for players, Zheng Zhi's passes reached 120 times, and his passes alone were equivalent to one-third of all Dortmund's players.
Facing such a Leverkusen team, even if Bayern Munich advanced to the final, what is the probability of their victory? And what is the probability of Portuguese team Porto winning? You must know that the lineup sent by Voral today is not the strongest main lineup!
The news of Biography is more vivid, and several cartoons are used to show all this. In front of the crowned Waller, Heathfield, Klaus, and Porto coach Santos all kneeled on the turf and shivered, expressing his surrender to Waller.
With more than 1,000 passes, this historic event not only caused a sensation in Germany, but actually attracted strong attention throughout Europe.
"World Sports" seems to have discovered a new world: 1,005 times! Barcelona's average passes per game is 835, while Leverkusen exceeds nearly 170 times. It's no wonder they performed better against Barcelona, and Leverkusen pioneered a new style of play.
If Manchester United had to meet Leverkusen again, it is likely that they would still lose the game. This team is too dominant.
"Milan Sports" may only be the invincible AC Milan team back then that year that could defeat them. AC Milan had no weaknesses at that time, and this Leverkusen still had many weaknesses.
French "League" wants to know if Leverkusen has really evolved again? Then look at their next second game with Dortmund. If they can still win an overwhelming victory, then everything will be verified.
Do it again?
The French are really straightforward. They hope that Leverkusen will once again play an overwhelming advantage in the second face of Dortmund.
But what do Dortmund people think?
Head coach Klaus is thinking about this issue. If you lose, you may lose more. If you lose, you may lose more. If you lose, why am I thinking so much? It would be better to admit that you, Leverkusen, is strong and will not waste your fighting power with you. I will be on the bench!
On Wednesday, he began to open the training ground to the public, and arranged for many substitutes to wear yellow vests that symbolize the main position, while the main players wear green vests.
It was obvious that he decided to use a substitute to play in the second game, cleverly avoiding the focus of sports media. This time, even if you, Leverkusen, beat Dortmund again overwhelmingly, you have nothing to brag about because we were on the substitute.
Of course, the most fundamental reason why he gave up was that he felt that Dortmund was not Leverkusen's opponent at all, so he would rather give up on his own initiative.
This is actually a wise move.
After observing for two days, the reporter of "Kicker" thought that Klaus gave up and did not intend to bring shame to himself in Bayer Arena, so he chose to give up.
This is naturally not good news for Bayern Munich. Dortmund is unwilling to fight Leverkusen head-on, which means that Leverkusen can easily score three-pointers, right?
Bayern general Effenberg stood up and pointed at Dortmund coach Klaus: "This is the shame of German football. A coward. They gave up directly because they lost the first game and the second game. They didn't even think about taking revenge. What can such a team count on them?"
Mattus, who has already gone to the major leagues to play football, rarely agrees with Effenberg's idea. "This is why Bayern Munich is the boss of the Bundesliga, and Dortmund can only be a challenger and can only look up to Bayern Munich. Bayern will not give up, but they will take the lead in surrendering. This is not a tradition in Germany."
"So, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen finally met in the German Cup in the final, and Dortmund was nothing."
Dortmund was miserably joked.
Almost every German team's head coach and celebrity are mocking Klaus and Dortmund.
“It’s so embarrassing,”
"We should all the main players leave the station,"
"Why are you scared?"
"Klaus is not worthy of being our head coach,"
"We need a more bloody and passionate coach."
...
...
Dortmund fans swear by, they can't stand such cowardice.
Just the morning before the game, Klopp, who just coached the Dortmund U19 youth team, published an article in a football column in the Frankfurt Report, Leverkusen is not invincible, they can defeat them.
If you want to defeat Leverkusen, it is useless to simply defend. You can only play more proactively and aggressively than them. Use crazy running to suppress them, destroy them, and prevent Leverkusen from playing his own rhythm. In general, it is pressing, oppressing, and acceleration of the offensive end! You must never let Zheng Zhi and Ronaldinho control the ball at their feet, but you should turn around and let Zheng Zhi and Ronaldinho run in a hurry and let them chase and run. Maybe some people will say that their personal abilities cannot be better than their opponents, so how can they play a stronger game than their opponents? I want to say that this is wrong. Football is a sport of 11 people, not a competition in a single position. Why can Germany always win the championship, and Brazil is just like this? Requirements: oppression! Oppression! Oppression! Attack! Attack! Attack!
By chance, just as he was talking, far away from Portugal, there was also a guy who published an article in the Portuguese media, which was also how to defeat Leverkusen, but the opposite of Klopp.
Obviously, Leverkusen's strength is second to none in Europe, and it is quite difficult to defeat them. If you want to win through offense, it is almost impossible. Defensive counterattack is the magic weapon to fight them.
The Portuguese Mourinho's tactics are written in detail: pass the midfield quickly + the rib strike. However, this set of tactics has relatively high requirements for players. Starting from the backcourt, the central defender squats + grabs: double midfielders, dealer and defense + sweep the thugs throughout the game; there is also the explosive points of the wing and the end of the forward. Requirements: Defense! Defense! Defensive! Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack!
The powerful "Kicker" actually published this article in the Saturday edition of the newspaper, attracting onlookers from almost all of Germany.
"Who is Klopp?"
"Who is Mourinho?"
"I don't know, I thought they were the two best head coaches in the world. They are so bragging, why don't they lead the team to play against Leverkusen in person?"
"Klopp? I've heard of this guy's name. He just led the u11 team in Leverkusen to the German team championship, and then he turned to Dortmund."
"A young coach who looks promising."
"Rumored that many of Leverkusen's offensive tactics were formulated by him."
"As for that Mourinho, he is a former Barcelona assistant coach. He used to become an interpreter with Robson and later became Van Gaal's assistant coach. However, he should have been kicked out of the team by Van Gaal recently. Some Spanish media said that the reason why Barcelona was eliminated by Leverkusen was because Van Gaal believed this guy's words!"
"What?!"
"You're so evil. Are they really that powerful? One made Leverkusen win, and the other made Barcelona lose?"
"this………"
"I think it's too fake and impossible. Neither Van Gaal nor Wollar, they can be affected like this."
"It was not made up by me. One is the news of the Spanish Daily Sports Daily, and the other is the news of the Biography Daily. It is said so. If you don't believe it, you can read through the previous newspaper, which is what it was written..."
...
...
"Defense, defense, defense, attack, attack?"
"But~"
"You are not good at a fucking player. What defense do you use and what attack? Can middle school students beat high school students? Joke."
"It's all jokes. Give me the configuration of Leverkusen, what can I do?"
Klaus also saw the news and threw the newspapers as toilet paper. A small U19 coach did not take the initiative to say hello to him when he took office. Instead, he came up and sang against him, publicly making remarks about defeating Leverkusen in front of the media. You are so awesome, you are here to take my place and see if you can defeat Leverkusen? Unfortunately, you are the U19 head coach, and I am the head coach of Dortmund!
I can’t even learn respect, and I have zero emotional intelligence!
Klaus despises Klopp very much.
Many people say he is timid, saying that he is on the bench and dare not go to Vorelga head-on, but why not ask Barcelona? Don’t ask Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Fiorentina and Lazio? Dortmund is not a Champions League team!
Idiots!
"But Mourinho is very clear and knows the configuration problems."
“The tactics are quite right.”
"But Dortmund doesn't..."
...
...
Only Zheng Zhi was surprised after reading the news. It seemed that Klopp and Mourinho were about to start to emerge. He was well-known in the media so early and expressed his football views.
"sure,"
"Whether it is Jurgen or Jose, the tactical ideas of these two guys have begun to take shape."
"Will you really coach the wealthy family in advance? I really can't imagine that if there is really a change, what will the future international football landscape be like? History needs to be rewritten."
Zheng Zhi talked to himself, not daring to think too much, but he was a little excited...
...
At 18:30 pm on Saturday, Klaus's team lost to Leverkusen again, and the score was 0:2. As substitutes, they did not lose much, and it was not very ugly.
Chapter completed!
