After buying Ma Kai at a high price, the upgrading of Bayern's forward line has basically been completed. With the arrival of Ma Kai and the departure of Elber, the average age of Bayern's forward line has dropped, and the strength has continued to be maintained. At the same time, on the defense line,
They introduced Demichelis and bought young full-back Law, but their midfield additions were affected.
Dortmund is holding on to the price of 18 million euros and refuses to let Frings go. Although Bayern has money, they rarely spend big money to buy players, especially domestic teams. They rarely pay big money to buy players.
, Ballack's transfer fee to Bayern was only 6 million euros...
But for Bayern, Dortmund has now become their biggest rival in the league. If Frings is hired, the last outstanding attacker in Dortmund's main lineup last season will also leave. Dortmund wants to restore its vitality.
It will be a very difficult thing, not to mention that Frings is not useless to Bayern. Whether he is partnering with Ballack in the middle or simply playing on the right wing, Frings is quite useful. You must know that Bayern
In addition to Ballack, the only ones who can be used in the middle of the midfield are Jerry Metz and Hargreaves. Although there are many people who can be used on the right, Sauer and Dyce
Ledu has been suffering from illness for a long time, and Frings can be a good supplement if he comes.
One is to strengthen their overall strength, and the other is to weaken Dortmund's strength, so even if they spend more money, Bayern will have to bite the bullet.
Finally, after some bargaining, Bayern brought in Frings for 15 million euros plus the 35-year-old veteran midfielder Fink. Fink is now on the verge of retiring, but Di
Dortmund is worried about any extensive injuries in the team's midfield. It doesn't matter if Fink comes to play for two years. He is a very experienced defensive midfielder, and at this age, he has no desire to fight for power. Dortmund
Although we are getting younger, we still need more reliable veterans.
In addition to Fink, Dick also hopes to strengthen the midfielder's strength in the transfer market. This time he is interested in Werder Bremen midfielder Borowski - this tall midfielder also belongs to
That kind of comprehensive midfielder who can run, rush, pass and shoot from long range, although it has great flaws, is more in line with Dick's tactical requirements.
However, it is a bit difficult to poach people from Werder Bremen. We just poached Frings last year, and now we have to poach Borowski. Although the player himself prefers to go to Dortmund, Bremen still made a desperate effort.
The resistance was finally defeated by Dortmund's gold and dollar offensive. The price was no more than 8 million, which seemed a bit high. However, to make up for the shortcomings in the lineup, sometimes it was necessary to suffer some losses.
At this point, Dortmund's transfer dust has settled. The departure of six main players, Lehmann, Rivaldo, Okocha, Flins, Kvinaghi and Rosicky, has brought them a total of 100 million euros in income, and they
It was the introduction of Arshavin worth 5 million, Donovan worth 1 million, Owomoyela worth 500,000, Borowski worth 8 million, and Fink who joined as an additional player.
After deducting expenses, Dortmund made a total profit of 85.5 million in the transfer market. The five players introduced, Arshavin's salary was 800,000, Donovan's salary was 700,000, and Owo Moyera's salary was 500,000.
One hundred thousand, Borowski's salary was 700,000, while Fink's salary was only 200,000 - the salary limit of 6 million euros. Dick only spent less than 3 million. When Dick later himself
When I did the statistics, I was also shocked.
But after thinking about it carefully, Dick really felt that there was no need to add more people. Weidenfeller was enough for the goalkeeper. Two goalkeepers from the youth team served as substitutes. On the defense line, the right backs included Alves and Pioneer.
Szczek, Dede and Achenbach are the left backs, and Madoni can also play this position. As for the center backs, Warnes, Metzelder and Ismail are the main players, with Madoni and Metzelder Jr.
As a substitute, there is no shortage of central defenders - in fact, Dortmund's defense suffered the least impact. Dick sold all attackers, and only Lehmann was sold on the defense.
For this season's offensive line, Dick plans to change the ball-control style of last season to focus on breakthroughs and running. The three main players in the midfield are Kyle, Klinger and Borowski.
Mayer, Fink and Owomoyera can be substituted, or they can be changed to four-four-two. In this case, Owomoyera will become a main force on the wing. The three main forwards on the front line will be Arshavin's world.
, Olic can serve as the main shadow forward. As for the center - Kavinagy was able to be trained last season. Dick is confident that he can train the little guy Gomez this season, and then there will be more
Novan and Everton serve as substitutes, and there is also a young Odonko who can serve as an attacker on the wing. Olic can also play center. Whether it is playing as a three forward or a double forward, there are enough candidates.
use.
In this lineup, players under the age of 25 account for the vast majority, and there is only one player over the age of 30, Old Funk. If Stuttgart this season is a youth army, then Dortmund is also a youth army!
Now Dick's task is to lead this young army to win the Bundesliga championship - if he can win the championship, he will be able to receive a bonus of up to 42.75 million euros...
"This price is quite scary, but if you want to buy back Atletico Madrid's shares, it's still just a drop in the bucket..." Dick couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
On July 5th, Dortmund’s pre-season training officially began.
Since there are no major competitions in the summer, there are no latecomers. All 24 players from Dortmund's first team are here.
"This season will start soon... We left six players this summer and added five players, plus two young players Gomez and Piszczek joined from the youth team, this will be
All our members this season. In last season, we achieved enough impressive results, but the past only belongs to the past, and now is what we need to pursue. Our opponents will not be willing to do anything just because we are the defending champions.
We have to hand over the victory to us. Any championship needs us to fight for and impact to achieve it. From now on, you need to make all preparations to meet all the following games."
Looking at the group of young players in front of him, Dick announced his goals for the coming season in a sonorous voice. There were not many stars among these players. The only ones who could barely be considered stars were Vaughns and Kyle, two captains.
Among the players, Arshavin is not well-known yet, but they are all young and have enough desire to compete for some honors.
This is Dortmund's future, this is Dortmund's hope.
Marriner, who returned to Dortmund after his vacation, quickly began to prepare for pre-season training with Dortmund's assistant coaches, starting with physical reserves and then tactical drills.
"The average age of our main players is very low. After the departure of Rossi Kiribaldo Okocha and others, the control ability of the midfielder can be said to have declined greatly. It is no longer appropriate to use the tactics of last season.
"
"Any tactics need to be in line with the current situation of the team... Now our entire team is seriously lacking in experience, but our physical fitness, body, and running ability are much better than last season, so we need to play better
Be more active and use back-and-forth sprints and quick passes to create opportunities. In fast attacks, we use back-and-forth passes and positional battles to create opportunities through breakthroughs. This brings out the characteristics of our players. Gomez has the ability to run and grab points.
Forwards with good abilities, Olic can also run and respond, and Arshavin is a wide attacker with good breakthrough and passing abilities. In this case, our offense must be fast."
"Such tactics will consume a lot of physical energy..." Marriner raised a question.
"Our players are all young and have good physical strength, so we are not afraid of this." Dick said with a smile: "On the contrary, if we grind slowly, because they are young, it is easy for them to make some mistakes, which will make it easier for opponents to catch their flaws.
"
"That's what I say, but if you use this tactic, it will be easy for experienced opponents to seize the opportunity in the European competition..."
Marriner said halfway, and then he saw Dick's half-smiling eyes. He immediately reacted and closed his mouth.
Dortmund has no task in the Champions League this season. After all, with such a young lineup, they can still try to grab points in the league to compete for the championship, but they also have to compete for the championship in the Champions League? That's too much of a joke.
, Dick is a very good coach, but he is not a god. If these young people can still win the Champions League, it only shows that the head coaches of other giants in the European continent grew up eating shit...
Dortmund's journey to winning the Champions League last season involved a lot of luck. Dick led the team almost all the way to the Champions League in the ugliest way, and the buzzer-beaters in several games played a huge role.
There are first-class stars like Rosicky, first-class goalkeepers like Lehmann, superstars like Rivaldo with rich Champions League experience, outstanding young players like Kavinaji, Frings and Okocha.
With his powerful players, he narrowly won the Champions League. What now?
Dortmund is almost broke. That 100 million euros is not so easy to make... This is why Dick told Zorc to stop thinking about such good things. If you want to make money like this, you must achieve good results in the Champions League.
, and you also have to run into an enemy like Chelsea. If you want to do this, you need a certain amount of investment every season, and the results will not be too fast. Don’t make it happen before the sale is successful.
When deficits begin to appear and you are forced to sell people, the situation will only get worse.
If Leeds United had decisively sold off the stars who performed well at the time when they had financial problems, started to use youth training to train players and tightened expenses, they would not be in such a miserable state as they are now. However, Leeds chose to continue to gamble.
Champions League, after being only one step away from the Champions League for two consecutive years, all their problems began to explode, and they directly moved such a team to the third level league - such a risk cannot be taken
.
"In short, this season, we can only use this tactic to play. As for the Champions League... let's take it one step at a time." Dick finally said.
