The above is Dortmund's first team lineup this season.
Last season, Dortmund had more than 30 players, and it was a very bloated lineup. But Su Yun directly cut off half of it. Even the main lineup was cut in half by Su Yun.
The current Dortmund squad only has about 25 players.
Even in the Premier League, Su Yun only has about 25 players. The Bundesliga only has 18 teams, which is far inferior to the Premier League in terms of number of games. Su Yun thinks the 25-man lineup is good.
It's just that the substitute lineup is too poor.
This time Su Yun promoted many players from Dortmund's youth academy at once.
Including Schmelzer, Vrzogich, Koch, Oztekin, Kuhlman, Sadriyai and so on.
Although many of Dortmund's veterans have been purged, Dortmund still retains many powerful stars in their playing years, including players such as Weidenfeller, Dede, Kyle, and Klinger.
Kyle was a genius back then, but Klinger was a genius cultivated by Dortmund themselves.
Klinger was even hailed as the best defensive midfielder in Germany for a while. He is only 24 years old now. He started to play in the Bundesliga at the age of 17 and has been the main force of Dortmund since he was 18.
All are good players.
The more turbulent the club is, the more it needs a group of stars in their prime to stabilize their position.
Comparing Su Yun and Dortmund, Dortmund is not worthy of Su Yun. Among the current Dortmund players, there are very few players who have won championships.
Williams is a special case and came with Su Yun.
As for other players, only Dede and Kyle have witnessed the glory of Dortmund winning the Bundesliga championship that year.
But it's just the Bundesliga championship.
Facing a head coach like Su Yun who has won two Premier League championships, a Serie A championship, two Champions League championships, a UEFA Cup championship, and countless cup championships, they are nothing.
But Su Yun did not despise Dortmund, nor did he despise Dortmund's players.
On the contrary, Su Yun respects these veteran players very much.
On the first day of training, Su Yun announced Dortmund's three captain candidates. The first captain chose Kyle. The second captain was Dede, who has been with the club for the longest time, and the third captain was goalkeeper Weiden.
Feiler.
Su Yun hopes to maintain stability.
Get through the current situation stably.
When Su Yun's decision was announced, the Dortmund players were shocked.
They thought Su Yun was going to appoint Williams as captain, and even Kyle himself didn't expect Su Yun to make him captain. Because Williams and Kyle had always played in the same position, the media even thought that Kyle would be the captain.
I will lose my main position.
Kyle himself doesn't say much.
The media considered him arrogant, and many reporters criticized him.
Some reporters even didn't know Kyle because he rarely gave interviews to the media.
But Kyle just keeps a low profile and doesn't want to appear in front of the media all the time. Kyle welcomes the arrival of a famous coach like Su Yun. He also hopes to win important championships in his career.
But he was also worried.
Because Su Yun brought Williams with him. When he was young, Kyle was a rising star in German football. He was no worse than Williams. But after so many years, Williams has become a superstar in European football.
, but Kyle has been wasted so far.
Kyle has no confidence that he can compete with Williams.
His own strength is not good, and Williams is a direct descendant of Su Yun.
So he came to Dortmund feeling depressed.
Although Zorc assured Kyle that Su Yun would treat them fairly, he still did not dispel Kyle's concerns. However, the selection of the new captain after Su Yun's first meeting dispelled all of Kyle's concerns.
team leader.
Su Yun announced that Kyle has become the new captain of Dortmund.
Together with the appointment of Dede and Weidenfeller, the original Dortmund players were stabilized.
…………
In fact, German football has a German League Cup before the start of the season.
It is a cup competition similar in nature to England's Community Shield and Italy's Super Cup. However, last season Dortmund was 13th in the Bundesliga and runner-up in the German Cup, so it was not eligible to participate in the German League Cup.
More importantly, the German Football Association has suspended this season's League Cup.
There was no League Cup in 2008.
Therefore, Dortmund did not gather at the beginning of July, but only started at the end of July.
It's relatively late.
Because there will be a German Cup match on August 9, 2008.
Su Yun doesn't have much time.
Su Yun needs to quickly determine a main lineup.
Su Yun has already decided on several positions. Just like goalkeeper Weidenfeller, this 28-year-old goalkeeper is really outstanding. Su Yun has been coaching the team for so many years and has seen countless outstanding goalkeepers.
Given, who coached at Sunderland, Cudicini and Cech at Chelsea, Casillas of Real Madrid, and Buffon of Juventus are all top goalkeepers.
Before coming to Dortmund, Su Yun had only heard of Weidenfeller by name.
I know that he was brilliant a few years ago, but because of Lehmann and Kahn, Weidenfeller was not able to show his talents in the national team.
But I just heard that he is good.
I have no idea what the strength is.
Because in the eyes of Su Yun, who has coached the world's top goalkeepers such as Cech, Casillas and Buffon, Weidenfeller is just a nobody.
But when he actually came to Dortmund and watched Weidenfeller train, Su Yun really admitted that Weidenfeller is definitely a top goalkeeper. His skills are very mature and his mentality is very stable.
Very few mistakes.
This is an outstanding goalkeeper.
Su Yun voted for Weidenfeller without hesitation.
There are so many good goalkeepers in Germany. Su Yun believes that a goalkeeper like Weidenfeller was born in England, so England, which has not had a good goalkeeper since Seaman, must have blown Weidenfeller to the sky.
After being boasted by the English media, Su Yun can guarantee that Weidenfeller's reputation will not be lost to Buffon and Casillas.
Unfortunately, this is not possible in Germany.
The left back is Dede, there is no doubt about it.
Right back Su Yun chose Owo Moyera, and Luca Werner is not enough to serve as Dortmund's main right back position. In fact, for Su Yun, Dortmund's right back position is the worst.
Owomoyela's strength is okay. But he is not the main right back candidate that Su Yun thinks.
The bigger one out of the short ones.
Use Owomoyela first and then replace him later when you have a better right back.
Su Yun chose Williams and Hummels as the central defender combination.
A combination of one old and one young.
After that comes the position of the lower back.
Midfielder Su Yun chose Kyle and Shaheen. Kyle was the main defender and Shaheen was the metronome in the midfield.
The striker is Cavani.
What Su Yun couldn't figure out was the three people on the offensive line in the frontcourt.
Mata will definitely occupy a position, and Su Yun is considering the other two players. The first choice is Hajnauer, who transferred here this season. This small player is outstanding and his passing skills are excellent.
It should be very useful among tall German defenders.
Let him be the core of the frontcourt offense.
Su Yun chose Jakub Blaszczykovski for the last spot.
When I came to Dortmund this time, if anyone gave Su Yun the biggest shock, it was definitely not Weidenfeller or Kyle. Although the strength of these two players was far better than Su Yun imagined.
But it didn't give Su Yun a big shock.
Because they were originally Dortmund's main players, and they were all very famous players when they were young.
Weidenfeller was known as Germany's best goalkeeper before the 2006 World Cup. And Kyle was considered the biggest talent in German football when he was twenty years old.
He is twenty-eight years old now.
With such strength, there is no need to be too surprised.
But Blaszczykovsky gave Su Yun quite a shock.
Su Yun's eyes widened.
speed.
Su Yun only saw speed.
Nineteen-year-old Royce has good speed and strong explosive power. Su Yun was already very happy, but when he saw Blaszczykovsky's speed today, Su Yun realized that Royce's speed was completely incomparable to him.
Blaszczykovsky's speed can be expressed in one sentence.
It's not that it's running too fast, it's that it's flying too low.
Even compared to the Danish flying wing Grenchar back then, he was not far behind. He even ran faster than him.
And the passing is also good.
The cross is also quite outstanding.
Among the offensive players in the frontcourt, Mata, Hajnauer, including Shaheen and Kyle in the midfield, do not have absolute speed. Cavani's speed is good, but it is only good.
Cavani is not a speed forward either.
Su Yun didn't expect it.
I didn't expect Dortmund to have such an outstanding full-back as Blaszczykovski, a right midfielder. And Blaszczykovski is only 22 years old now.
Very young.
very good.
When choosing the last main lineup, Su Yun chose Blaszczykovsky.
In this way, Su Yun's thoughts on Dortmund's main lineup have come out.
Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, the back line is Dede, Hummels, Williams, and Owomoyela, the midfielder is Kyle and Shaheen, and the front three offensive players are Mata and Hajnauer.
Blaszczykovsky, forward is Cavani. (To be continued.)
