Barcelona is an opponent that Su Yun is very reluctant to touch.
Because his style is very competitive with Dortmund's current style of play, especially for passionate young players, Barcelona's style of play is completely fatal to them.
Not much time.
After entering the knockout rounds, Dortmund will soon face its opponents. Therefore, Su Yun needs to find a way to deal with Barcelona.
Just when Su Yun was thinking about how to beat Barcelona, he received a call from Zhu Shengxiu.
"I've also seen the news these days."
Zhu Shengxiu told Su Yun on the phone about the anti-gambling and anti-criminal activities in Chinese football.
Although Su Yun lives in Germany, he has also seen the development of anti-gambling and criminal gangs in China through the Internet.
Things that started making a fuss last summer have become more and more serious now. More and more big names have begun to appear in front of everyone's eyes.
Last year, those involved started to involve some local football leaders and some players.
But now those involved are all big figures in Chinese football.
And they are all well-known figures.
Just over half a month ago, it was revealed that several leaders of the Football Association, Nan Yong, Yang Yimin, and Zhang Jianqiang, had been arrested by the public security organs, as well as several of China's most well-known referees.
Famous referees Lu Jun and Huang Junjie were taken away by the police to assist in the investigation. On the 15th of this month, Lu Jun, Huang Junjie, and Zhou Weixin were officially arrested on suspicion of accepting bribes from the club.
The people above are all powerful figures in Chinese football and have been active in Chinese football for more than ten years. They are all senior officials of the Chinese Football Association. The famous whistles below are among the few international-level players in Chinese football.
referee.
The only referees in Chinese football who can do this well.
It's a pity that they all went in.
Su Yun is watching these.
Unexpectedly.
There are really not just one or two involved this time. Even Su Yun, an insider. Of course, he has been away from Chinese football for too long, so he cannot be considered an insider.
But seeing so many people involved, Su Yun was also shocked in Germany.
"Why, Lao Zhu, you just want to tell me this."
The two of them grew up together. But their relationship now is different from when they were in their twenties. When they were in their twenties, both of them were high-spirited and didn't have many things going on.
Therefore, the two of them usually like to spend time together, bragging and spanking.
Now both of them are in their forties.
They all have their own families and their own jobs. Just like Su Yun is now the head coach of Dortmund, and Zhu Shengxiu has become an important figure in the media circle.
Both of us are very busy at work.
Therefore, the two of them are usually busy with their own affairs, and it is difficult for them to communicate like they did when they were young.
In the past, the two of us still talked on the phone a lot, but in recent years, the number has decreased a lot.
Su Yun didn't believe that Zhu Shengxiu had nothing to do now and called him, and then specifically informed him about the anti-gambling and anti-criminal activities in football.
"No. Su Yun. I'm just an intermediary. Someone from the General Administration of Sports found me and wanted me to ask you if you have any plans to return to China?"
"Go back home?"
Su Yun was stunned.
"Well. The General Administration of Sports knew about our relationship, so someone found me. They wanted me to act as an intermediary and inquire about your intentions. Do you have any thoughts on returning to China to lead the national team?"
Su Yun fell silent.
The national team was Su Yun's dream since he was very young. This idea was firmly implanted in Su Yun's heart. But in recent years, he moved to European football and slowly locked this idea deep in his heart.
.
Now Zhu Shengxiu asked this question.
"Lao Zhu, my purpose as a coach was to be the head coach of the national team. But now Chinese football is too chaotic. It cannot be solved by a head coach. Even if I join, it is impossible to solve the problem."
At the age of forty-four, Su Yun has passed the age of impulsiveness.
If he were in his mid-thirties, Su Yun might have agreed on impulse.
But now?
Although I have always dreamed of being the head coach of the national team, it is obvious that now is not the time to take charge of the national team. Chinese football is now in full swing against gambling and criminal gangs, and the result is still unknown.
And the General Administration of Sports is nothing more than an intention.
Su Yun would not agree.
"Lao Zhu, if I am asked to be the head coach of the national team, neither the Football Association nor the General Administration of Sports can interfere with my work. And I will have full jurisdiction over the national team, the Olympic team, and the National Youth Team. And now the foundation of Chinese football is
It’s too bad.”
Zhu Shengxiu did not persuade Su Yun.
The two are good friends.
And Zhu Shengxiu also thought that it was a good time for Su Yun to become the head coach of the national team. He just conveyed to Su Yun the meaning of the General Administration of Sports.
As long as this meaning is conveyed, the task is completed.
"Su Yun, I understand."
After putting down the phone, Su Yun couldn't calm down for a long time.
No matter how successful he is in Europe, Su Yun always thinks that this is not his home. The longer he stays, the more Su Yun has this idea. If Chinese football is a little better, Su Yun might really choose to go back.
But not now.
Because Chinese football is too chaotic.
Shake his head.
Don't think about it anymore.
The General Administration of Sports simply tested Su Yun's intention.
Now Chinese football has fallen into the greatest chaos. They want to hear what Su Yun means. Once Su Yun really agrees, it will be a great benefit to the General Administration of Sports and the Football Association, which are currently at the forefront.
In fact, there is much more involved than what everyone sees.
Many people in the General Administration of Sports are in the whirlpool, but for various reasons they did not get in like Nan Yong and others. But they are basically leaving their jobs.
The entire General Administration of Sports and the Football Association are in great confusion.
They really hope that something can distract everyone so that their stress can be greatly reduced.
But they don't know how to use force.
Of course, they are not qualified to use force against Su Yun. Su Yun's current status does not need to depend on their faces. They do not have much strength to create pressure on Su Yun.
So they just wanted to hear what Su Yun meant through an intermediary.
After hearing what Su Yun meant, they made no further moves.
Although Su Yun was telling a joke and mentioned some conditions, Zhu Shengxiu regarded them as Su Yun's minimum requirements. The national team, the National Olympic team, the National Youth Team and even the National Youth Team below Su Yun must be under unified management
.
Even if those coaches are appointed, Su Yun's consent is required.
The General Administration of Sports currently has no specific regulations for the development of the Football Association.
Therefore, it is impossible to admit Su Yun's request.
In this way, the matter will be settled.
…………
A small episode.
Su Yun was deeply moved. Su Yun is a Chinese coach, and Chinese football is in his blood. No matter how successful Su Yun is, Chinese football will never be separated from Su Yun.
Because as a Chinese coach, he received strong support from Chinese fans, Su Yun is now the number one earner in football.
Now that he has received the benefits, Su Yun cannot completely refuse when Su Yun is needed.
But……
I was confused for a while, but soon we were in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Dortmund faces Barcelona at home.
Guardiola's Barcelona pressed the frontcourt and controlled the midfield to the extreme.
Su Yun's original idea was very simple.
Just use the running in the frontcourt to start pressing Barcelona in the midfield, especially for Xavi, the core midfielder of Dream Three. This is Su Yun's idea.
Because Barcelona controls the ball so well.
If they play possession ball with Barcelona, Dortmund will definitely die.
Shaheen and Mata want to control the ball. They are no match for Xavi, Iniesta, and Butzquez. Therefore, Su Yun’s idea is to block the opponent in the midfield and immediately launch a counterattack once he grabs the ball.
.
On the wing, Su Yun did not choose Gotze, a player in hot form, but instead chose Blaszczykovsky. Because of Blaszczykovsky's speed.
Royce and Blaszczykovsky counterattacked very well.
Because it's fast.
This is Su Yun's idea for this game.
It's a pity that I thought wrongly.
Barcelona has completely integrated ball control into their blood. The pressing of Dortmund players in the frontcourt did not force the opponent to make mistakes in the midfield. On the contrary, it stretched Dortmund's own defense.
Su Yun's choice before the game was wrong.
Didn't hit the mark.
Therefore, Dortmund's attack at home during the game did not achieve a good result at all. On the contrary, it gave Barcelona a lot of opportunities to attack. Dortmund lost the ball at home in the first 12 minutes of the game.
Mata and Reus seemed to have surrounded Xavi, and they strictly abided by Su Yun's wishes.
To round up Harvey.
However, Xavi and Butzquez passed the ball twice in a tacit understanding and got rid of their encirclement. The passing between them was so tacit that they could almost tell where their teammates were with their eyes closed.
Xavi regained the ball and handed it to Messi in the middle. Messi broke through with the ball.
Kyle returned from injury and started the game, but he was completely useless against Messi.
It's really because Messi's pace is too fast.
Kyle has not seen such a player in so many years. Kyle's Champions League experience is not rich at all. On the contrary, he has only faced German players in these years.
Has Germany ever had a player like this?
The frequency of Messi's feet far exceeded that of any player he had seen in the past ten years. Kyle was easily broken through by Messi and was about to enter the penalty area.
Hummels can only step forward to defend.
Messi's breakthrough was too sharp.
Starting from Shaheen, he broke through Kyle and suddenly a pass came in front of Hummels.
Iniesta came in from the left and just caught the ball. Then he shot directly without giving Williams and Weidenfeller any chance to react.
Dortmund was trailing 0-1 at home just after the game started.
Su Yun was very depressed during the competition.
Because faced with Barcelona's constant dropping of the ball in the midfield, Dortmund's young players soon couldn't stand it anymore and began to be impetuous. Barcelona was given a chance again. Hummels couldn't calm down, because Barcelona's style of play was
There to hypnotize you.
After Schmelzer lost his position, Hummels directly kicked Alves over in the middle.
Penalty kick.
Dortmund only had one shot in the entire game, which was the first time since Su Yun coached Dortmund.
This made Su Yun very depressed.
The game was lost.
Those who lose don't have any temper.
Dortmund, which had just defeated Real Madrid, had nothing to do against Barcelona. Su Yun knew that there was a reason for restraint in style, and there was also a reason why Su Yun confused Meng 2 and Meng 3.
Dortmund still has a lot of shortcomings if it wants to move towards Europe. (To be continued...)
