In terms of results, there is no big problem. After all, Leverkusen is a strong team, and it has always been a strong force in the Bundesliga over the years. Being able to draw with its opponent at its home court is not a big deal for the rebuilding Dortmund.
Unacceptable.
But what about actually?
How is Dortmund doing?
Difference.
That's all I can say.
Not an ordinary difference.
But it's very, very bad, extremely bad.
Even if last season's disappointing Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen game, even if they lost the game, they wouldn't have played as ugly as this game...
After the game, Leverkusen's head coach Labbadia was very unconvinced. He believed that Dortmund only had two shots in the whole game, but they scored one goal. Leverkusen had 11 shots.
Door.
He thinks Dortmund got the draw because of bad luck.
Labbadia, who was very respectful to Su Yun before the game, completely changed his face after the game. After all, this is his first Bundesliga game, and he really wants to get off to a good start. Defeat Dortmund and defeat the famous coach Su Yun.
Give yourself a good start.
The game was a pity.
Leverkusen took the initiative throughout the game and created more threats.
But the result was very unsatisfactory.
Leverkusen did not win.
Evened.
So after the game he completely forgot about his demeanor.
It means that Dortmund was just lucky enough to get a draw.
Su Yun did not refute him.
Su Yun was thinking about Dortmund's reconstruction. And Su Yun could understand Labbadia's mood.
He does have the right to be unconvinced, because in this game he led Leverkusen to firmly suppress Dortmund at home. The young Labbadia failed to win in such a strong situation and could not control his temper.
It's understandable.
Su Yun also had such a moment back then.
Labbadia was hysterical at the press conference.
But Su Yun was very calm.
When faced with reporters' questions, Su Yun also accepted the interview calmly. He didn't have a word of blame for his player Su Yun. Su Yun just said that Dortmund's current situation is a running-in problem.
Once the running-in is good, the performance will be better.
As for Shaheen, Su Yun expressed his trust.
Although Shaheen, the Dortmund midfielder whom Su Yun strongly promoted, was directly defeated by Leverkusen during the game. Su Yun will never criticize his disciple in front of outsiders.
At the end of the first half, Shaheen was replaced by Su Yun.
After the game, Shaheen was severely criticized by "Kicker". It was believed that the 20-year-old Shaheen performed very poorly and was not suitable to play the main force in Dortmund's midfield. Moreover, Shaheen's strength could not beat Dortmund's main force at all.
, far less powerful than Klinger. In the end, he got a score as poor as 5.5 points.
Germany and England are different.
In England, the higher the score, the better the performance. In Germany, the higher the score, the worse the performance. The Bundesliga scoring standards are set by "Kicker" magazine. Every player who debuts in the Bundesliga has
There is a score, the highest is 1 point, the lowest is 6 points, and 0.5 is a unit.
5.5 points is already a very poor performance.
Even terrible.
Not only "Kicker", but also "Bild" also believed that Shaheen could not play the main midfielder at all. There is absolutely no reason for coach Su Yun to value Shaheen.
"Bild" said that the combination of Kyle and Klinger is better.
They even said that pairing Williams with Kyle would be far better than Kyle and Shaheen.
Anyway, there is overwhelming criticism against Shaheen.
It's not just Shaheen.
Cavani and Mata, who appeared in the Bundesliga for the first time, only scored five points.
Very bad.
It can almost be said that. In Germany, a score of about 3 points is considered a pass or a slightly good score at most. A score of 4 or so indicates a poor performance in the game and a complete failure.
And five points and five points and five points are extremely different.
Both Cavani and Mata were considered to be ridiculously bad by Kicker magazine.
Same as Shaheen.
He is not qualified to be Dortmund's main force.
Even Hajnauer, who scored a goal, only scored 3.5 points, while Blaszczykovski, who assisted, only had 4 points. Of course, if they hadn't scored a goal and an assist, their performance would have been
Five points.
Only three people in Dortmund have the highest scores.
Williams scored a high score of 2 points, Hummels also scored 2.5 points, and Kyle also scored 2.5 points.
"Kicker" also commented on Dortmund after the game.
"Coach Su Yun carried out a bold reconstruction work for Dortmund in the summer. However, judging from this game, the young player Shaheen promoted by coach Su Yun performed very poorly and was completely unable to play the role of the core of the midfield. And coach Su Yun
The introduced Mata and Cavani were not able to fully adapt to Dortmund. Coach Su Yun still needs to do a lot."
a lot of.
A lot indeed.
Su Yun has many problems to solve.
…………
Both Su Yun and Clark believed that Shaheen and Hainauer had some conflicts.
Hainauer restricted Shaheen's space, and there was also some conflict between Shaheen's presence and Hainauer's playing style. Hainauer made it impossible for Shaheen to use the space.
The space for Shaheen's activities was compressed.
Hainauer also needs to take the ball and attack. But Su Yun wants to train Shaheen to become the core of the midfield. There is also a conflict with Hainauer's playing style.
But Su Yun still has some expectations for them.
One week.
A week later, Dortmund faced a stronger opponent.
German overlords Bayern Munich.
Bayern is very strong.
Needless to say, the history of German football, on the other hand, is the history of the Bundesliga's powerful players taking turns challenging Bayern Munich's dominance. However, over the years, no powerful player has been able to break Bayern Munich's dominance.
In the Bundesliga last season, Hitzfeld led Bayern to the Bundesliga championship.
But Bayern's top brass was dissatisfied.
Bundesliga champion?
Winning the Bundesliga title is the minimum requirement for Bayern, and there is nothing worth showing off.
Bayern's weakness in the European arena has made Bayern's senior management prepare to change their coach.
Young coach Klinsmann replaced Hitzfeld.
Klinsmann is 43 years old and is the youngest head coach in Bayern's history. Klinsmann's experience as a coach is very short, it can even be said that there is nothing. The most can be said is his experience in the German national team.
The passionate German national team in 2006 was led by Klinsmann.
Signal Iduna Park Stadium.
In fact, this is the naming right of the sponsor. For Dortmund fans, they will not call Iduna Park Stadium because it is only the official name. Dortmund fans are even more willing to call their home stadium the Westfalenstadion.
Westfalenstadion, this is their familiar name for decades.
August 23, 2008. Dortmund faced Bayern Munich at home.
Su Yun still arranged for Shaheen to appear.
Klinsmann's changes to Bayern Munich have just begun. But Bayern's foundation is there, and Klinsmann also adopted Leverkusen's style of play in the previous game.
Focus on encircling and suppressing Shaheen.
Van Bommel kept putting pressure on Shaheen in the frontcourt, and then Altintop also harassed Shaheen from the side.
Another bad game.
Shaheen was limited to the front of his back line and behind Hajnauer. He was completely unable to take advantage of his running ability. Also, he had excellent running awareness.
On the contrary, in the limited space, Shaheen's various weaknesses were exposed.
Van Bommel's body is very strong.
Compared to Van Bommel, Shaheen's physical condition is much worse.
During the game, Sahin's interception of the ball was by Mark Van Bommel. Then Ze Roberto made a back pass during the breakthrough and passed it to Altintop who followed up.
Altintop scored the only goal of the game with a follow-up goal.
Dortmund lost 0-1 at home to Bayern Munich.
Su Yun was helpless.
Dortmund's entire schedule was too uncomfortable for me. First they met Bayer Leverkusen and then they met Bayern Munich.
Dortmund's performance during the rebuilding process was too poor.
Two games, one draw and one loss.
But in the third game, I could breathe a little easier.
Because Dortmund challenged Cottbus away in the third game.
Cottbus is currently the only East German club in the Bundesliga. After the reunification of Germany, all East German clubs were wiped out. Only Cottbus remained.
Cottbus was founded only forty-two years ago.
It's a very young team.
Su Yun thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But there were still many problems in the offense during the game. The biggest problem was that Shaheen was unable to find his own rhythm.
Hajnauer and Shaheen did not call at all.
Shaheen is the core of the midfield appointed by Su Yun, while Hainauer is the core of Dortmund's offense. Now there is a problem, which makes Su Yun very uncomfortable. This cannot continue.
For the first time in the Bundesliga this season, Dortmund overwhelmed its opponents.
had an advantage in the competition.
The running of Cavani, Mata and Blaszczykovsky in the frontcourt, as well as the counterattack from the frontcourt, put a lot of pressure on Cottbus. But Shaheen and Kajnauer are not compatible.
The problem continues to exist.
This made it impossible for Dortmund to attack at all.
Zero to zero.
Dortmund was held to a 0-0 draw by Cottbus in the away game.
Three games, two draws and one loss, accumulating two points. The results are very poor for Dortmund. Of course, because Dortmund's results last season were so poor, they ended up ranking 13th.
So Dortmund fans didn't make much trouble.
Su Yun must solve it now.
The problem of Shaheen and Hajnauer.
Su Yun has to make a choice. Either take Hainauer and give Shaheen enough space for him to play. Or take Shaheen and let the midfielder only be responsible for defensive play.
Everything in the frontcourt is left to Hajnauer's organization.
conflict.
Unexpectedly, Shaheen and Hainauer, whom Su Yun was quite optimistic about, would come to a point where Su Yun had to choose. (To be continued.)
