In the offense, Mata, Hajnauer, and Cavani have just arrived in Dortmund. And Blaszczykovsky was completely established as the main right midfielder with the arrival of Su Yun.
This makes their cooperation very problematic.
It is difficult for four people to pose a threat.
They each do not understand the characteristics of their teammates and cannot cooperate effectively. The most beautiful thing about Mata is his movement, but Hainauer, who is not familiar with him, cannot know the characteristics of his movement.
Mata ran, but Hainauer couldn't pass the ball.
Cavani is even more so.
As a lone forward, he needs support from behind. But everyone is unfamiliar, so the cooperation is too unfamiliar.
Of course this takes time.
. .
And one of the biggest problems is Shaheen.
Shaheen is very sexy.
But as Su Yun considered, several members of Dortmund's frontcourt have just arrived in Dortmund this season, and Shaheen himself has not played in the Dortmund first team for a long time.
Very unfamiliar to everyone.
In addition, he is too young. Suddenly giving him a core midfield position makes him feel even more pressure.
He is the core of the midfield.
We need to understand the characteristics of Dortmund players. But now it has just begun and there is no tacit understanding at all.
Therefore, the advantages of his long pass scheduling cannot be brought out.
Shaheen was unable to operate normally, which had a serious impact on Dortmund's offense.
And defense.
Last season, Dortmund's defense also included veterans such as Vaughns and Kovac. However, this season they were directly eliminated by Su Yun. Only Dede was left as the main force last season.
Although Warnes and Kovac are both a classic center back combination, they have a tacit understanding.
Defense is never a matter of one person.
It requires tacit understanding and cooperation.
What is needed is complementarity.
Dortmund's current center back combination is Williams and Hummels.
Both of them are very sexy.
Williams aside, Hummels is a talented central defender that Su Yun is very optimistic about. Unfortunately, the first time the two cooperated, there were many problems.
Su Yun shook his head.
Teams in the process of rebuilding have this problem.
There are problems in every aspect.
They all need to be solved by Su Yun.
But what Su Yun needs to solve first is not the offensive line. Although the offensive line is in chaos, what Su Yun needs to solve is not the offensive line problem. Because the offensive problem takes some time.
And for a team, the first thing to solve is never the offense, but the defense.
It's a question of defense.
Su Yun is a coach who values stability.
Defense is something Su Yun attaches great importance to. Therefore, Su Yun must first solve the problem of defense.
"Jack, Mats, you two, come here."
After a period of training matches, Su Yun will ask the two central defenders to make some corrections.
After all, Williams used to play as a defensive midfielder, and he needs to adapt to playing as a deep-lying central defender. Hummels is a talented central defender, but he is still too young and extremely inexperienced.
Often you will lose your position.
Su Yun wants to make certain arrangements based on the characteristics of the two of them.
Both are very tall.
Williams is 1.87 meters tall, and Hummels is 1.91 meters tall.
Su Yun stood in front of them. He was much shorter than them.
"Matz, don't hesitate at all when you attack."
Partnering with Williams, Hummels is under some pressure, and the pressure is not ordinary. In Su Yun's view, Hummels is too hesitant many times.
Maybe it was Williams' cold look that scared him.
After all, in front of a superstar like Williams, Hummels is a nobody. Even though Hummels came from Bayern Munich's youth training camp, he has met many big-name stars in the first team.
But to be honest, Bayern really doesn't have a superstar that can rival Williams.
Who is Bayern's biggest star right now?
Italian striker Toni? Or Lahm and Schweinsteiger? Maybe Ze Roberto and Podolski?
None of them can compare to Williams in terms of fame.
Let alone fame, none of them can compare with Williams in terms of achievements.
Therefore, Williams' fame itself puts a lot of pressure on Hummels. In addition, Williams is informal and rarely talks after coming to the club.
comminicate?
That's a luxury.
After Williams came to Dortmund, he only chatted with Su Yun. He occasionally talked to Clark, but then he never communicated with anyone again.
Even when they met Kyle and Weidenfeller on a regular basis, they only nodded in greeting.
He actually had no communication with his partner Hummels.
This frightened Hummels, who was only nineteen years old.
He was afraid that if he attacked blindly, he would lose his position.
Will Williams be blamed?
Williams' appearance not only put pressure on Hummels, it even scared him.
There is really no difference between what Williams said and what the media said.
The media said that Williams was arrogant and had a weird personality. In Hummels' eyes, Williams was weirder and more scary than what the media said.
So I was very hesitant during the game.
Afraid that if he makes a mistake, Williams will...
If a central defender hesitates, that's a big problem. What a central defender needs is decisiveness, especially because of Hummels's characteristics. He is a central defender with extremely strong frontal defensive ability and very decisive shots.
Defender.
He is the kind of central defender who dares to attack.
Chelsea's Terry, Manchester United's Vidic, and Juventus' Chiellini are all players of this type. Players of this type are very eye-catching in the game.
They must not hesitate during the game.
When it's time to go up, they must not hesitate at all, because once they hesitate, they will lose the best opportunity to go up.
If Hummels is unable to make the move due to hesitation, then he has lost his biggest characteristic.
That's why Su Yun called the two of them.
"Matz. What I want is the kind of fearless defender. When it's time to go up, go up decisively without any hesitation. Decisive, you have to use your bravery to pressure the opponent's offensive players and make the opponent afraid of you."
Su Yun usually speaks in a very low voice. Growing up in such a family, Su Yun has never been able to speak loudly.
But it's different once you get to the stadium.
"Don't worry about what's behind you. You have Jack behind you, and you are comrades fighting together. You have to trust your comrade. Believe that he can take care of your rear."
"Did you hear that? Don't have any worries. You failed to intercept the opponent after you went up. That was your mistake. And after you went up, Jack didn't close the loophole behind. That's Jack's responsibility."
Hummels nodded.
He is nineteen years old.
He was at a young age, and if Williams hadn't been under too much pressure, he wouldn't have been so hesitant.
Now after hearing Su Yun's words, Hummels slowly regained his original vigor.
After talking about Hummels, Su Yun turned to Williams. This is the first time Williams has really started to play as a central defender. He also needs to change his style.
When he was a defensive midfielder before, he used his body, his own running, and his own consciousness to become the most outstanding defensive midfielder.
But now he has become a deep-lying centre-back.
What is needed is no longer running, what is needed is a sense of position.
It's consciousness.
Not only that, he has to lead the entire defense and command the entire defense.
"Jack, in the midfield, there is a back line behind you. But from now on, you are the last line of defense, and behind you is the goalkeeper. You must know how to see all directions and how to command the entire back line."
"Not only do you need to stabilize your position at the back, but also once other players' positions become vacant, you need to fill in."
"Yeah. I understand."
Williams has been a midfielder for thirteen years, especially in the past five years as a defensive midfielder. His defensive awareness is already very good. Center backs and defensive midfielders are different.
It's a different way of playing.
But there are also many things in common.
Williams did not find it difficult to adapt to the central defender position.
Defense is a system.
The combination of central defenders is very important, but the protection of the midfield is even more important.
Otherwise, no matter how strong the central defender is, if the midfielder always loses the ball, then the strong back line will not be able to defend against the opponent's attack. Therefore, Su Yun these days can only keep giving Williams and Hummel
In addition to Si's guidance, the focus is on creating a combination of Kyle and Shaheen.
After a period of contact, Kyle left a deep impression on Su Yun.
grace.
As a defensive midfielder, Su Yun left Kyle with this evaluation.
It's not that he plays elegantly, but that he defends elegantly. Kyle is really outstanding. He is not a defensive midfielder like Su Yun's disciple Williams, nor is Marr, who Su Yun promoted vigorously at Juventus.
A midfielder like Chisio.
Kyle is more of an elegant defensive midfielder.
He has everything a defensive midfielder has. He has an outstanding body and is active in running. But more importantly, he has a good defensive position, is not brutal when stealing the ball, and has excellent foot skills.
At first, Su Yun thought he saw Guardiola.
Kyle's protection of the back line is very good. Su Yun has learned about Kyle's development. Kyle was very famous when he was young. Unfortunately, his development did not go very smoothly due to injuries.
Su Yun felt sorry.
Kyle is really an outstanding player. If the development in the middle goes well, then Kyle will definitely be the best defensive midfielder in Germany now.
Talented player.
There are so many talented players but very few of them eventually become successful.
Problems of one kind or another arise in the process of growing up.
What a pity.
But it's not too late. Twenty-eight is the time for a player to reach his peak.
After all, Shaheen started as an attacking midfielder, and his defensive ability is relatively weak in general. Even his body cannot be said to be very good.
But he also has an advantage.
Good running ability.
Physical strength is okay.
For a midfielder, physical strength must be guaranteed. As a core midfielder, physical strength is even more important. Without physical strength, it is impossible to become a successful midfielder in today's football.
players.
And Shaheen just has outstanding physical strength.
Although his defensive ability is slightly lacking, his outstanding physical strength can fully make up for this.
You can absolutely use running to increase your defensive capabilities.
After slowly allowing Kyle, Shaheen, their midfielder combination and the defense to cooperate more, Su Yun set his sights on the front again.
When Su Yun was in England, he liked the Netherlands' total attack and total defense very much.
However, I have never had the opportunity to implement Total Attack and Defense. Even when I was at Chelsea, I attached great importance to the movement of the players in front, but I did not really create Total Attack and Defense according to my own ideas.
But under the newly established defensive line, Su Yun thought of this style of play.
Su Yun even thought of Spalletti's "wolf pack tactics" in Rome.
All they play is running.
As long as the ball is lost in the frontcourt, they immediately engage in counterattack.
Very violent.
This style of play puts a lot of pressure on the opponent and puts a lot of pressure on them.
However, this style of play requires the frontcourt players to maintain a huge amount of physical strength. Because to complete this style of play, each player has to run an average of about 12,000 meters during the game.
It is necessary for some players in key positions to run 13,000 to 14,000 meters.
Looking at the Dortmund players now, several people in the frontcourt are young.
Good physical strength.
Moreover, there are no big-name players, so Su Yun will obey whatever arrangements are made.
Su Yun slowly injected his thoughts on the Dutch Total Attack and Total Defense style of play over the years, as well as his thoughts on clubs such as Barcelona and Luciano Spalletti's Roma, into the current Dortmund.
