It's not a serious injury. It's just an injury to his arm. Su Yun won't buy a center back just for a month.
Dortmund doesn't have that luxury yet.
In fact, Su Yun had already thought of the plan.
Always just in case.
Unexpectedly, Hummels was really injured.
Among Dortmund's current substitute central defenders, Santana is the only one. However, Su Yun is not too sure about Santana's strength. It should be said that Santana's strength is also good, but it is a bit far away from Su Yun's requirements.
So Su Yun chose another person.
Kyle.
Kyle was a central defender when he debuted, and was hailed as Sammer's successor. He is tall, has a good body, has a strong stance, and is a very outstanding defender...
When he became famous, it was because of his outstanding performance at the center back position.
It's just that now he plays as a defensive midfielder.
Now Su Yun just wants him to return to the central defender position. By pairing Kyle with Williams, Su Yun believes that the cooperation between the two veterans will not be worse than the cooperation between Williams and Hummels.
But when Kyle plays defender, he needs to choose a defensive midfielder.
Klinger is gone.
Of course, Klinger has not left, and Su Yun will not use him. His strength is not good enough.
Su Yun's main consideration is the Bender brothers.
Big or small?
This is the focus of Su Yun's consideration.
Should I choose the big one or the small one?
They each have their own advantages.
Lars Bender is well-rounded and even has the potential to become a core midfielder. However, in terms of defensive ability, especially position selection, he is not very good.
There is only one place where Lars Bender is stronger than Sven Bender defensively.
It's the ability to run.
Very good at running.
It's not like ordinary people can run.
Su Yun discovered it during training. In terms of running ability, in Dortmund now, apart from perverts like Williams, Lars Bender is the best.
In ordinary training matches, he can run about 11 kilometers in a game.
Very easy.
I didn't see how hard he used it.
His running ability easily exceeds 10,000 meters.
According to Su Yun, it is nothing new for Lars Bender to run more than 12,000 meters in official competitions. Moreover, most of his abilities are reflected in running.
You should also run 12,000 meters, or even 13,000 meters.
But it is precisely because Lars Bender is so comprehensive.
On the contrary, it does not meet Su Yun's requirements.
Su Yun needs a pure defensive player.
Su Yun does not need a comprehensive player, but a player who can help Shaheen. He only needs to defend from behind.
No other abilities are required.
It requires defensive ability.
Therefore, Su Yun fell in love with Sven Bender.
This is a player with strong defensive ability and excellent physical condition. The important thing is that he works hard from behind and has no other thoughts. He grabs the ball and hands it to the person in front.
Meet Su Yun's requirements.
Just too young.
Su Yun is a little worried about whether he can replace Kyle at such a young age.
…………
On August 8, 2009, the Bundesliga 0910 season officially started.
Westfalenstadion.
There is a huge painting by Su Yun on the south stand, which is thirty meters long and twenty meters wide.
South Stand.
This is the most die-hard Dortmund fan at the Westfalenstadion. There are no seats in the South Stand. All seats are standing. The South Stand, which can accommodate 30,000 people, is the die-hard Dortmund fan stand.
Their fans are passed down from generation to generation.
The grandparents of the current Dortmund South Stand fans have been Dortmund fans since the beginning.
They are the craziest group of people.
They also spared no effort in supporting Dortmund.
Of course, because they are a crazy group of people, they are also the most suitable soil for producing football hooligans.
One of the favorite things for fans in the South Stand of the Westfalenstadion is to throw bananas.
Especially throwing it to the opposing goalkeeper.
Bayern goalkeeper Kahn is the biggest victim. Once the game against Bayern Munich occurs, Dortmund fans in the south stand of the Westfalenstadion prepare a large number of bananas in advance. Then once the game starts, Kahn's position is on his side.
, will throw a lot of bananas on the court.
Kahn is not a simple person either.
You still have a banana, Kahn even picked it up and opened it and ate it.
These are the Dortmund fans in the South Stand of the Westfalenstadion.
They are absolutely die-hard fans.
It's because of die-hard loyalty.
When Dortmund faced bankruptcy in 2005, they also called on fans to help the club tide over the difficulties.
They were very excited about Su Yun's rejection of Real Madrid's invitation and Manchester City's £15 million temptation. Therefore, they produced such a huge picture before the start of the game.
It was drawn based on Su Yun's appearance standing on the sidelines.
And kept waving the frame.
Until Su Yun walked out, the Westfalenstadion burst into huge cheers.
Dortmund fans are grateful to Su Yun.
What makes Dortmund fans even more happy is that Su Yun actually rejected the high salaries offered by Real Madrid and Manchester City.
This makes Dortmund fans think that Su Yun is one of their own.
True own people.
So the cheers were loud.
"Coach Su Yun stayed. In the summer, most of the media were reporting overwhelmingly on which giant club Coach Su Yun would go to coach. But in the end, Coach Su Yun stayed. He rejected the world's number one giant Real Madrid and rejected the world's football team.
The highest salary in the world is 15 million pounds. But he stayed in Dortmund."
"What is it about Dortmund that attracts coach Su Yun? I think it is probably the young youth team that coach Su Yun has built himself that he is most reluctant to part with. Let's take a look at Dortmund's starting lineup."
"The goalkeeper is Weidenfeller, the defense is Schmelzer, Kyle, Williams, and Piszczek. The midfielder is Reus, Shaheen, Sven Bender, Mata, Grosskloë
Izzy, the striker is Cavani."
"Due to Hummels' injury, coach Su Yun asked Kyle to drop back and play as a central defender. Instead, he chose Sven Bender, introduced from Munich 1860, as the main defensive midfielder."
"Sven Bender is a young man who is only twenty years old. He is a youth training player of Munich 1860. He has been playing in the German second division in Munich 1860. Coach Su Yun personally inspected it half a year ago, and the object of the inspection turned out to be
It was not Gebhard, the most outstanding player in Munich 1860, but the Bender brothers. I didn’t expect that Sven Bender would appear in Dortmund’s main lineup so soon.”
"This is a very young main lineup. The average age of the main lineup is only 23.6 years old."
yes.
A young and somewhat excessive lineup.
If it weren't for the three veterans of Williams, Kyle, and Weidenfeller, the average age of Dortmund's young players is estimated to be only about 21 years old.
"Dortmund unexpectedly won the Bundesliga championship last season. This game is Dortmund's first attack this season. Let's see if Dortmund won the championship by fluke, or if they really have the strength to win the championship."
There is actually not much difference between what the media thinks and what ordinary people think.
They're all pretty much the same.
At first, the media praised Su Yun overwhelmingly, thinking that Su Yun's reconstruction work in Dortmund was simply great. But after a while, many media believed that last season's Bundesliga was very problematic.
There was some luck involved in Dortmund's title win.
lucky.
They believe that if either Bayern or Leverkusen is a normal team, then Dortmund will not win the Bundesliga championship. Therefore, there are many opinions that it was a fluke that Dortmund won the Bundesliga championship last season.
Schalke's media even mocked Dortmund for picking up the championship.
Of course, the media in Dortmund are not giving in.
He immediately laughed at Schalke for never winning the Bundesliga title.
Many football commentators also believe that only through the test of this season can we know whether Dortmund's reconstruction work is really successful.
Therefore, Dortmund's attack this season has attracted a lot of attention.
lucky.
It was a fluke to be honest.
Su Yun agreed with their statement.
But the benefits of that lucky championship to Dortmund are countless. Financial matters have nothing to do with Su Yun. Su Yun is concerned about the status of his players.
confidence.
The biggest thing a Bundesliga champion brings to Dortmund players is confidence.
The young players are all quite confident.
Not ordinary confidence.
Su Yun discovered it during the training match. Dortmund's young players are more relaxed than last season and play more freely.
The biggest advantage of young players is their passion.
But the disadvantage is that the status fluctuates.
And a Bundesliga championship that fell from the sky gave many young players confidence. Add passion and self-confidence. Then young players will be quite scary.
The power hidden in Dortmund's young players excites Su Yun.
Once Su Yun channels the energy in them, no one can stop Dortmund now.
Thirty minutes into the game, Cologne's head coach Sordo looked grim.
Because Dortmund is too strong.
Sordo is very young, only 42 years old this year. He retired only three years ago and then returned to Croatia to coach. This is the first time he has coached the Bundesliga this season. He does not expect to beat Dortmund away from home, but a draw should be no problem.
.
It's a pity that reality gave him a huge blow.
Thirty minutes.
In the 30 minutes of the first half, Dortmund beat Cologne to a standstill.
Sven Bender came on the court and had little opportunity to perform. On the contrary, several players in the frontcourt ran actively and interspersed beautifully, giving Shaheen and Mata a lot of space to pass the ball.
Only six minutes into the game, Mata and Reus jointly intercepted Maniche's ball.
Then Mata made a direct pass to Grosskreutz who inserted himself into the penalty area from the left. But Grosskreutz failed to score when faced with a one-on-one opportunity.
Instead, he made a shooting motion and gently pushed the ball to the center.
Empty gate.
Cavani scored the simplest goal.
Just two minutes after the goal, Dortmund stole the ball again in the frontcourt. But this time Cologne pulled down Reus in the penalty area and sentenced him to death.
Shaheen faced the penalty kick and made it easily.
Two to zero.
Thirty minutes into the first half, Kyle stole the ball from Podolski and handed it to Grosskreutz on the right. After Grosskreutz attracted the defense, he handed the ball to
Piszczek.
Piszczek ran all the way to the bottom line and then made a cross. Cologne defender Kuhlmann panicked and headed it into his own goal.
Three to zero.
A strong start.
"Dortmund showed their strong strength in the first round. Coach Su Yun told everyone that Dortmund won the Bundesliga championship last season because of their strength. It was not a pie from the sky."
yes.
Not a fluke.
In the second round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund challenged Hamburg away.
Be on guard against death.
Hamburg is not this kind of team. But when they faced Dortmund's frontcourt press in the second round, Hamburg actually chose to defend tightly. They completely lost the face of their strong team.
Then fight back when you get the chance.
They also scored a goal with a counterattack opportunity.
Petlic used his speed to break through the wing and then passed back. Sven Bender, who was supposed to be in a defensive position, was taken away by Troshovsky.
A matter of experience.
Sven Bender failed to hold his position.
Therefore, there was a huge gap in the middle where Sven Bender should be guarding.
Dutch teenager Elia scored Weidenfeller's goal with an angry kick.
Then they started to guard against it again.
The current head coach of Hamburg is Leverkusen's head coach Leverkusen last season. Labbadia was fired by Leverkusen due to poor results in the second half of the season.
Just started working in Hamburg.
Unexpectedly, Labbadia would use such a shameful tactic.
Finally, there was a not-so-good opportunity. Hamburg center back Silva made a mistake in catching the ball, allowing Mata to seize the opportunity.
Then he passed Silva and scored the equalizing goal.
One to one.
Got one point.
After the game, Su Yun angrily criticized Hamburg for not pursuing the goal and completely losing their dignity as a strong team.
In the third round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund faces Stuttgart at home.
Dortmund, who had been suffocated by Hamburg, took their anger out on Stuttgart. Stuttgart was also a strong team, but it was a pity that they encountered the passionate young players from Dortmund.
What a tragedy.
Dortmund easily defeated Stuttgart 3-1 at home.
A week later, on August 29th, the fourth round of the Bundesliga began.
Dortmund faces Frankfurt away from home.
Frankfurt was very lucky last season and survived by just one point more than the relegated team. However, they did not make any reinforcements in the summer and their strength is still very poor.
Relegation is their biggest task.
But Su Yun is not a philanthropist. If you want to avoid relegation, I will give you points.
Facing Frankfurt, they kicked each other in the first and second half.
Two to zero.
At the end of the four rounds, Dortmund had three wins, one draw, and scored ten points, ranking first in the Bundesliga. The second place in the Bundesliga was Schalke 04, with two wins, one draw, and one loss in the four rounds, with seven points.
Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga hegemon, only had one win, two draws and one loss in four games, with a score of only five points.
Dortmund's strength surprised everyone in the Bundesliga.
Su Yun used his results to tell the Bundesliga football world that last season's championship was not a fluke. (To be continued...)
