Thirty-man roster.[
The roster is very expanded compared to last season.
In fact, Su Yun wanted to clean up some players in the first team. But Zorc had already worked very hard to clean up some substitute players, but unfortunately he failed.
Because there were no Bundesliga teams to take over some players. Only some lower-level league teams wanted them. But those players were unwilling to go to lower-level leagues, so they stayed.
It's not easy for Su Yun to put them into the second team directly.
That's why it became such a bloated first team.
The competition is fierce.
However, with the additions this season, Su Yun believes that Dortmund's lineup is perfect.
There are superstar-level figures like Williams and Raul who have championship experience and huge honors sitting here. Don’t underestimate the role of Williams and Raul. It’s like Hummels. If it weren’t for these two seasons
When paired with Williams, you don't know how many goals you will concede. With Williams, Hummels' ability is to keep the net rising.
Both of them have won the Champions League and top league championships, and have rich championship experience. In important games, these are assets.
In addition to them, there are experienced veterans such as Kyle, Weidenfeller, Owomoyela, Dede, and Antonio da Silva.
And below there are stars in their playing years like Piszczek, Daniel Gordon, Blaszczykovsky, and Oliver Kirsch.
Then there are the talented players.
Hummels, Reus, Gotze, Shaheen, Bender brothers, etc.
It's perfect.
Anyway, Su Yun thinks it's perfect. This is true both in terms of age structure and experience.
Pre-season training has begun.
The playing styles of Dortmund and other teams are different. When Su Yun coaches any team, he emphasizes the physical strength of the players. Therefore, before the season, Su Yun emphasized accumulating physical strength.
Regarding the physical training of players, Su Yun himself has had his own set of ideas over the years.
The most famous people in Dortmund now are Raul and Williams. However, both of them are very old. Raul is 33 years old and Williams will be 34 years old in two months.[
For players, it is already the end of their careers.
They are old.
Are you really old?
After the training started, everyone was surprised.
Williams has very strong physical strength. All Dortmund players know this. However, Williams, who is almost 34 years old, is still a player with perfect physical strength in the Dortmund team.
Although not as good as when he was at his peak, his physical strength still hasn't declined much.
But compared to Williams, what surprised the Dortmund players the most was that Raul's physical strength was also very good. After all, Williams had been together for two seasons. We understand his abnormal physical ability.
But Raul is a technical forward in their mind.
Unfortunately not at all.
Raul doesn't look like a 33-year-old veteran at all.
That physical strength is really good.
Just like a young player yyng.
Among the entire Dortmund players, the one who can compare with Raul in physical strength is Lars Bender. Other young players dare not say that their physical fitness is better than Raul.
Even Su Yun was a little surprised.
The last time Su Yun coached Raul was four and a half years ago. At that time, Raul was in his peak form at the age of 28. Unexpectedly, Raul, who is now 33 years old, is still so strong.
"Steve, look at it. Raul really has the strength to refuse to admit defeat. With this physical strength, even if you say he is in his twenties, some people will believe him."
Su Yun is in very mny Raul's state.
So he smiled and said to Clark.
Introducing Raul, Su Yun's biggest hope is that he can help Dortmund's young people grow faster. In particular, Raul can let Mata and the others know how to use space and how to choose opportunities.
And Raul is definitely a model of a professional player.
In terms of professional attitude, Raul is definitely the best among their group of players, and he is on par with Beckham.
These positive factors are good for Dortmund.[
But looking at Raul's condition today, Su Yun was very happy.
Clark nodded.
"I see Raul playing as a substitute for Real Madrid for a season, but he has maintained his condition well."
Clark and Su Yun were also a little surprised by Raul's condition.
In the view of Su Yun and Clark, Raul played as a substitute for Real Madrid for a season and had almost no playing time in Pellegrini's hands. There should be some problems with his condition.
After all, any player who plays as a substitute for a season will definitely have some problems with his condition.
So Su Yun thought it through when he introduced Raul.
Let Raul get familiar with it first, and everyone thought that Raul had forgotten the rhythm of the game as a substitute. But from the training, it can be seen that the condition is really good. On the contrary, Mata, who has just returned from the World Cup, may be too excited, and his condition has some ups and downs.
Mata has reason to be excited.
He was selected into the national team at a young age. Although he was not the absolute main force, he also played in games. The important thing is that the Spanish national team won the World Cup.
Since leaving Real Madrid, everything has gone smoothly for Mata.
It has only been two seasons since I arrived in Germany, and I have already won two Bundesliga championships and a German Cup championship. This time I was very lucky to win the World Cup championship with the Spanish national team.
There are too many young champions, which makes me a little excited.
On the contrary, his condition was average during training.
But Su Yun was not in a hurry.
Young people all have this stage. Especially Mata is only 22 years old now. He must have failed to adjust his condition in time.
The veteran's performance surprised Su Yun.
…………
It turns out that Su Yun never thought of letting Raul appear so soon.
Although many Dortmund fans want to see Raul's performance, Su Yun has always believed that the introduction of Raul is just to make up for the team's shortcomings, especially the lack of veterans in the frontcourt.
But because Mata had not yet adjusted his condition, Su Yun chose Raul in the first round of the German Cup.
Of course, most of them are the main players.
The two wingers chose Reus and Gotze. On the front line, Cavani was on top, and Raul was behind Cavani.
The midfielder is a combination of Svend and Lars Bender.
The defense is Schmelzer, Hummels, Williams and Owomoyela.
Like Shaheen and Piszczek, they all rested.
Because the opponent is weak.
Burghausen.
A team from the German third division.
Su Yun originally wanted to play a 442 style and let Raul directly match Cavani. But Raul did not look like a 33-year-old veteran at all, and his running range was very wide.
The position at Real Madrid is very lively.
Therefore, Su Yun did not specify Raul's position.
Completely free man in the frontcourt.
Raul and the rest of Dortmund's players haven't fully formed a rapport yet.
But Raul’s space is too wide.
The opponent was a team from the German third division. So when Reus and Gotze rushed forward from the wing, they directly disrupted their defense.
There are too many loopholes.
Although Shaheen is missing as the midfield organizer and Mata is missing as the core of the offense, Dortmund is not chaotic at all. Lars Bender is not as good as Shaheen in terms of organizational ability.
But his running ability is strong and his passing ability is not that bad.
Therefore, he only needs to pass the ball to the two wings and let Reus and Gotze play.
Larsbender is very comprehensive, so he performs very well in the midfield. When defending, he can retreat to help Svennd, and when attacking, he can press near the opponent's penalty area.
It's two completely different styles from Shaheen.
The Bender brothers controlled the tempo of the game easily.
The game went well.
Twenty-two minutes into the first half, Royce opened the scoring. After two seasons of training, Royce has been completely transformed in training this season.
The performance is getting better and better.
And in the 36th minute of the first half, it was Royce again. He passed the ball after the breakthrough from the wing to Raul.
Raul received a pass from Royce on his first appearance and scored a goal.
There is no end.
At the end of the first half, it was Raul again.
Lars Bender's long shot was saved by the goalkeeper, Raul made a supplementary shot and scored twice.
The game is easy.
Raul scored twice and there is nothing to be proud of because the opponent was too weak. But Raul had a good start in Dortmund.
His performance proves that he is not old yet.
For the two-season Bundesliga champion Dortmund, Bughausen did not stop it at all. Dortmund continued their efforts in the second half. Grosskreutz, who came off the bench, scored a goal, Gotze scored a goal, and Cavani scored twice.
The score was 7-0 against Burghausen.
It's a good start.
The Bundesliga is about to start. (To be continued...)
