Chapter 90 Dortmund VS Tottenham
Now there are still eight rounds to play in the Premier League, and the Europa League has also entered the round of 16. The combination of home and away games is another heavy schedule.
As for the FA, due to Elkeson's injury, Tottenham have almost given up on this line.
This allows them to better prepare for the league and the Europa League.
The FA Cup quarter-finals are Arsenal VS Tottenham.
In this battle, Arsenal can be said to be the main force, and it is bound to be ashamed.
But Tottenham's attitude almost drove them crazy.
Boas put most of the main players directly on the bench, Yi Le didn't play the whole game, and Harry Kane was replaced after halftime, showing a state of giving up.
Although Arsenal beat Tottenham 3:1 in this game, they were not too depressed.
After the game, Arsenal fans started to make trouble, they broke into Tottenham's official website.
Frantically swiping the comments of 'Arsenal 3:1 Tottenham'.
But the Tottenham fans were not irritated at all, and put on an indifferent attitude.
I do not care!
With a backhand, a 7:0 was thrown in the past.
For the tragedy in North London, Arsenal fans still remember it, and it became their nightmare.
Regarding the defeat in the FA Cup, Tottenham fans rarely showed a calm look.
They figured it out when Elkeson got hurt.
And for Tottenham, the most important thing is the league and the Europa League.
The FA Cup can only be regarded as icing on the cake, but it is not the most important one.
Without the burden of the FA Cup line, Tottenham began to prepare for the league and the Europa League.
On May 11, Tottenham ushered in the top 12 opponents of the Europa League.
This opponent is from the Bundesliga, and it has something to do with Yi Le.
Dortmund!
Yi Le's former teammate, Gregory, is on this team.
…
On May 10, the entire Tottenham team came to Dortmund, North Rhine-West, Germany.
Dortmund is known as a "green city", and the planning and greening of the entire city are excellent.
Half of the city is composed of woodlands, waterways, green belts and parks, and the whole city exudes vitality.
After Tottenham settled in the hotel where they stayed, Yi Le received a text message from Grigory.
'Hey! Man, long time no see, if we were not rivals, I could have shown you a good appreciation of Dortmund. '
Yi Le chuckled and replied to the text message.
'Are you playing tomorrow? '
Grigory responded quickly.
'No! You can't ask so directly, this is our tactic! Hahahaha, but to be honest, the possibility of me playing is very low. Since I left Millwall, I seem to have fallen into a scoring drought. '
Yi Le also heard a little about what happened to Gregory.
Gregory was originally not suitable for Dortmund's tactical system, and Dortmund does not have a pure midfield commander like Yi Le.
Although Royce hangs in the midfield position, his more role is to break through.
There is not enough support, and Grigory is not the kind of center with outstanding personal ability, which caused his sinking.
Grigory who left Yile has no one to deliver shells to him!
After a brief chat, the two stopped communicating.
During this period of time, no matter how good the relationship between Yi Le and Grigory is, both of them need to avoid suspicion.
…
Borussia Dortmund, meeting room.
The Dortmund players gather to watch a video of the game.
In the knockout round of 16 of the Europa League, they encountered a strong team.
Tottenham Hotspur!
Facing this team that dominates the Premier League, Dortmund naturally needs to attach great importance to it.
Compared with Tottenham, they are more like facing giants such as Arsenal and Manchester United.
But things have come to this point, they have no choice but to do their best to win.
Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel is giving a brief explanation.
The most frightening thing about this Tottenham team is their highly mobile midfielder, especially the peculiar passing path and huge vision of the Chinese who always allow them to take the initiative in the midfield.
Thomas Tuchel's coaching style is more attacking, but this Dortmund team won't allow him to.
If it was the youth team three years ago, with the strong performance of Lewandowski, Gotze and Reus, Thomas Tuchel is confident that he can head-to-head with Tottenham's midfielder, but this Dortmund team can't.
After Lewandowski and Gotze were poached by Bayern, Dortmund's striker and midfield control plummeted. Although they retained the tradition of the youth army, Tottenham is also a youth army, and in terms of specifications, it is better than them Much more advanced.
Yi Le, Sun Xingmin, Dele Ali, Harry Kane, etc., when thinking of these players, Thomas Tuchel is a little jealous of Villas-Boas, why can you have such excellent young players, and he is in charge Dortmund is a semi-disabled.
Thomas Tuchel set his sights on the Japanese (Shinji Kagawa), can he contain Yi Le's performance?
Afterwards, the head coach couldn't help grinning secretly, let's play defensively and counterattack honestly.
Ozil can't fall well in Yi Le's hands. He doesn't think Shinji Kagawa can contain Yi Le's performance, let alone he can control the initiative in the midfield.
Boom! !
Thomas Tuchel knocked on the table twice to attract the players' attention, and said loudly: "The next game is a tough one. We need to take this game seriously. They are even better than Bayern in some respects." Be strong!"
Hearing this, the Dortmund players looked serious.
At this point, an Asian face appeared on the slide.
He has black hair, black eyes and yellow skin. He looks quite handsome, but his smile reveals a simple and honest color. He is wearing the No. 21 Tottenham jersey.
Thomas Tuchel pointed to the above photo and said: "We need to contain this Chinese! He is the engine of Tottenham. We must not let him take the ball and play the ball comfortably. This will become our nightmare, so Up front, we're going to press hard and at the same time, Shinji Kagawa...."
Mr. Wang Jiang, the head coach, looked at himself, and Shinji Kagawa quickly sat upright.
"In this game, I will not put too much pressure on you. I don't need you to contend with this Chinese, nor do I need you to compete for the initiative in the midfield, let alone play the advantage. What I need is you Stabilize the midfield, don't be led by Tottenham's rhythm, we always have our own rhythm."
Shinji Kagawa nodded depressingly, which meant to make him cowardly. Although he was a little unconvinced, he was really a little embarrassed in the face of the imposing Yi Le.
Thomas Tuchel has assigned a lot of tasks, but all of them are aimed at Tottenham's midfielder.
After finishing speaking, Thomas Tuchel called by name: "Grigory, we want to hear your suggestion. We know that you and Yi used to be teammates."
Grigory grinned secretly, how could he feel like a sophomore.
"Mr. Manager, I am not questioning you, but I feel that it is useless to target Tottenham's midfield."
Grigory Lang said; "Tottenham's midfielder is not only highly mobile, but their physical reserves and running distance are two or three times that of ours. In the case of unequal physical fitness, our midfielder is easy to be defeated. Tottenham dragged down."
Gregory knew very well that targeting Yi Le was useless.
In the British Championship, so many teams deployed many tactics to contain Yi Le, but all ended in failure.
Now that Yi Le has gone to Tottenham, the teammates around him are even stronger, which cannot be compared with what Millwall did. He doesn't know how terrifying bonuses these teammates can give Yi Le.
In the past, he and Yi Le were teammates, so he didn't pay attention to this.
But until he became an opponent, after researching, he discovered that his former cannon father was really a monster!
Physical reserve!
Thomas Tuchel frowned deeply, he really missed this point.
But Thomas Tuchel still decided to follow his own tactical arrangement.
He disbanded the team and let the players go back to rest and wait for tomorrow's official game.
…
Day 2, Germany, Dortmund, Signal Iduna Park.
This is the home field of the bumblebee, covered in yellow as far as the eye can see.
In the North Stand, Bumblebee fans hold small yellow boards that form a huge (BVB) lettering, which is the abbreviation of Bumblebee.
The corresponding South Stand is a very spectacular picture.
This is a magical picture made by the Dortmund radical fan organization Unity. In the picture, a Dortmund fan is holding a telescope. The background is the Champions League trophy. The underlying text reads:
'On the road to finding the lost Champions League trophy'.
The frenzied home atmosphere set off the game and also showed a concept.
Football is not as simple as a sport.....
It is a culture, a way of life, and an unwavering belief!
