The seventeen-year-old Piszczek was a little uneasy as he prepared to go to the first-team training ground with several teammates. On this national team match day, Dortmund had quite a few international players leaving, including Rivaldo, Okocha, and Flynn.
Si, Kyle, Rosicky, and Warnes all went to the national team to report, so Dick transferred some players from the youth team to the first team for training. He just transferred from the Polish first-division team Lublin half a month ago.
Piszczek from the Dortmund youth team is also one of them.
For Piszczek, the past half month has been like a dream. Half a month ago, he had not entered the first team in Lublin, but now he has come to Germany and became a member of the Dortmund youth team. Now he is still considered by the first team.
The team's head coach Dick appointed him to join the first team for training - even if it was just training, Piszczek knew that this would be a huge improvement for his football career!
When he thought of this, Piszczek looked at the two teammates around him. The seventeen-year-old Mario Gomez held his head proudly, as if it was a natural thing to enter the first team, and he was only fourteen years old.
Nuri Shaheen had a shy smile on his face. For the Turkish boy who previously played in Dortmund's under-15 youth team, being transferred to the first team by Dick this time was simply a surprise.
An incredible thing...
Yesterday, Dick went to the youth team and the under-15 youth team to have a look, and then decided to transfer these three young people to the first team to train together. This decision made many people not understand it, because this
Among the three, the youngest Shaheen is an old man from Dortmund. He joined Dortmund's youth team at the age of twelve. Gomez and Piszczek both joined Dortmund's youth team this year. Piszczek
Dick is from Poland, and Gomez joined from the Stuttgart youth team. Dick just watched one of their trainings and decided to let them enter the first team training. Isn't it a little too abrupt?
Dick was very satisfied with this, but he knew all three of them. Piszczek and Gomez were the ones he appointed for Dortmund's youth team to poach. Since Dortmund doesn't have much money, it's time to train the youth team.
Mavericks are a must. These three people are not top superstars, but they can definitely be regarded as Mavericks. It is also a must to start training them in some games now - the German Cup will soon issue regulations. It is a must.
A number of young players are going to take the field, so it's a good idea to prepare for a rainy day.
Shaheen is probably no longer needed, but he can become an asset to Dortmund in the future. Gomez and Piszczek can be used in the future. If Ruyt retires, Alves will be strengthened, and Piszczek
He can be used as a substitute for the right back, and Dortmund currently does not have many forwards. Sometimes Gomez can also come in handy.
In the following training, Dick began to focus on these three young players - other trainings were handled by the assistant coaches, Dick just paid attention to these three people - Piszczek has excellent running ability and can play on the court
He can play well, both offensively and defensively. Shaheen has a good sense of the overall situation and the awareness of passing the ball. Gomez has good confrontation ability and quite good running ability, but his shooting ability is a little worse. But this
As long as he gets enlightened, he will make rapid progress. Historically, he also became a top shooter after suddenly enlightening.
Dick nodded slightly. These future stars still have their own characteristics to become famous. Shaheen has gone through detours because of physical problems. Piszczek has made steady progress and is getting better year by year.
, Gomez first got enough opportunities in Stuttgart, and then accumulated a lot of experience at Bayern. Their success can be learned from.
On August 29, in the first round of the German Cup, Dick sent a starting lineup composed mostly of youth team members, goalkeeper Weidenfeller, defenders Achenbach, Alves, Madoni and
Metzelder, midfielders Demel, Klinger and Ricken appeared in the middle. Odonko and Everton were in front. Olic was in front alone. Three young youth team players were sitting in the middle.
On the bench.
This starting lineup looks similar to the main lineup, but it is quite different in the frontcourt. It is more like a four-three-three, with Ricken as the midfielder, and Odonko and Everton are more like two.
As a winger, the ability of this lineup has naturally dropped a lot. However, facing a regional league team, Dortmund still easily defeated the opponent with three goals in the away game. Ricken, Olic and Everton all scored.
In the second half, Dick also let Gomez and Piszczek come out to experience the official game.
After defeating their opponents, Dortmund entered the next round - there are no home and away games in the German Cup. All games are an elimination system. In the previous rounds, high-level teams went to the home courts of low-level teams.
This is also a way to promote the progress of football in other regions. If it is a team of the same level, the final competition venue will be determined based on the results of the draw.
After playing this game, Dick flew to Monaco alone to prepare to participate in this season's Champions League draw ceremony - although Dortmund will not usher in the fourth round of the league until September 11th, but
The draw ceremony for the Champions League starts now.
As the Bundesliga champion last season, Dortmund naturally had to participate in the draw ceremony of the Champions League. Before Dick arrived in Monaco, the media in continental Europe had already begun to speculate that Atletico Madrid and Dortmund would be in the same draw.
Group? You must know that Dortmund is now a second-tier team, and Atletico Madrid is a first-tier team. It is really not unusual for them to be grouped together...
As soon as Dick arrived in Monaco, he was surrounded by reporters asking this question. He shrugged: "It's the same no matter what team we are assigned to... Atletico Madrid is just one of Dortmund's competitors. We need
The key is to play every game well."
Naturally, such an answer did not satisfy the reporters, who immediately asked a sharp question: "What would you think if you led the team back to the Calderon Stadium?"
"What do you think? I will remember it when the time comes and I will tell you." Dick waved his hand and left in a swaggering manner...
Although he got rid of the reporter, Dick knew in his heart that it was not that easy to get rid of other things.
Atletico Madrid, Calderon Stadium, Old Hill, Torres, Belleron.
The mark left by these things in his heart will never be erased, and even with the passage of time, it will not be easily eliminated. He still has a wish in his heart. After a few years, he will be the winner and savior.
He returns to Atletico Madrid as his identity, allowing Atletico Madrid to truly leave his mark!
If he really meets Atletico Madrid, he will have a very complicated mood when he returns to the Calderon Stadium as an opponent.
When the draw ceremony began, almost all the head coaches glanced at Dick and Aragones - obviously, they were also looking forward to what would happen if Dortmund and Atletico Madrid were placed in the same group.
result……
The first team to be drawn is the second-tier team. Dortmund is placed in Group A. That is to say, if Atletico Madrid is placed in the same group as them, then the first team to be drawn will be
Atletico Madrid…
Now everyone is getting excited!
Platini smiled and grabbed a small ball in the glass jar, opened it and took a look, then smiled and announced: "Arsenal."
There was a low sigh of disappointment, and outside the venue, countless people cursed - those were the fans who bought the lottery tickets "Atletico Madrid and Dortmund are in the same group" - now their
All the money was wasted.
Dick was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled slightly, and all of this was captured by the camera.
"Dick seemed stunned with a hint of relief. He was not willing to run into Atletico Madrid right away... This is also human nature. After all, no one wants to run into his old club right away, and Dortmund is not completely ready yet.
When you mature, it will be difficult to meet Atletico Madrid... I actually think that if Dortmund can meet Atletico Madrid in the second group stage or the knockout matches, such a game will be more interesting!"
Being placed in the same group as Arsenal, Dick did not feel relaxed, because the third- and fourth-level teams had not yet emerged. If he could be placed in a relatively better group, Dick would be able to make the team cooperate more easily.
If you encounter a more difficult group, it's hard to say...
The draw is still going on. Atletico Madrid and Galatasaray are grouped together. This is a good draw result. In the next fourth tier of teams, Dortmund has an additional opponent, the European team from Ligue 1.
Serge…
This is not an easy opponent to deal with, and their head coach Guy Roux is a legendary coach in Europe. Dick had only heard of him before, but this time he was able to meet him.
The third-tier team is Eindhoven from the Eredivisie!
The whole place was in an uproar.
Although there is no traditional top team in this group, the strength is quite average. When the four teams from the Premier League, Bundesliga, Eredivisie and Ligue 1 meet, no one has top strength. In such a group stage, the final situation may be very...
So complicated!
To some extent, this can be considered a death group!
However, the real group of death is in Group G. Bayern, Deportivo La Coruna, AC Milan and Lens are in the same group. Due to the poor results in the Champions League in previous years, AC Milan is now only a third-tier team, and then
Such a very exaggerated death group appeared!
Atletico Madrid has been assigned to a very good group. The other three teams in the same group are Galatasaray, Lokomotiv Moscow and Club Brugge. With Atletico Madrid's overall strength, it is really difficult to qualify from this group.
It's not a difficult thing.
"The grouping in the group stage... is not bad, at least we are not placed in a very exaggerated group. Arsenal is a difficult team to deal with, but our eyes cannot only focus on Arsenal, because no matter whether it is Arsenal
Inhoven or Auxerre, their quality is also very good. We will not relax in the Champions League. The Champions League game is very important for Dortmund...it is also very important for me."
In an interview after the game, Dick said that he was mentally prepared to be assigned to a more difficult group. After all, his performance last season was so eye-catching that even if he changed clubs, UEFA would not I don’t want a head coach to lead two different teams to the Champions League easily - especially since he is not a European, but a Chinese...
But no matter how difficult it is, Dick will not give up the Champions League. The benefits of the Champions League are very important to Dortmund now...
