Chapter 42 Running back and forth, showing fatigue

Although there are only two games in the Telecom Cup, the two games are scheduled very close to each other.

According to the schedule, after advancing to the next round, they will go away to challenge another opponent, Dortmund, tomorrow, August 6.

In the match against Hamburg, with Lewandowski's goal, Dortmund defeated Hamburg by one goal and successfully advanced to the final, becoming Werder Bremen's final opponent.

Due to time constraints, after defeating Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen could only take a non-stop flight to Dortmund, where the next opponent is.

By the time they got off the plane and took the bus to the booked hotel, it was already 2:30 in the morning.

At this time, there are only 17 hours left before the start of the game.

"Quick, quick, everyone go back to your room and sleep. We will gather for training at 10:30 tomorrow morning!"

The coaches sent the players to their rooms to sleep, leaving them little time to rest.

If they don't sleep well tonight, they may not even have the energy to run when they get to the field tomorrow.

"What the hell kind of schedule is this? It's so scheduled that there's no time to rest!"

After Coach Rolf settled the players, he couldn't help but complain.

“The Telecom Cup has always been like this, but it’s really unfair to us!”

The home team Dortmund sits at home and is waiting for work, but Werder Bremen has to travel all over half of Germany. This will cause great difficulties to Werder Bremen, but the opponent does not have this problem.

However, as a supporting character who was invited to accompany the prince to study, it would be good to be able to participate in the competition, but don't expect so much.

"Okay, everyone, let's go rest and stay in good condition. We have to play the game tomorrow!"

Shaf clapped his hands and sent everyone away.

As for himself, he turned on the computer and checked the game between Hamburg and Dortmund during the day.

As the head coach of a team, it would be a bit incompetent to face the opponent in the next game without conducting targeted research before the game.

Dortmund's lineup has some changes in the new season. They have introduced a group of people and left some players.

Dortmund's biggest signing in the summer was to spend 17.1 million euros to introduce the opponent's potential star Royce from Monchengladbach to replace the Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa who was bought by Manchester United.

In addition, they also spent 5.5 million euros to take away the opponent's forward Schieber from Stuttgart.

Schieber was bought by Klopp as a substitute, and their substitute forward Barrios was bought by the Chinese Super League club Guangzhou Evergrande for 8.5 million euros.

Although Barrios once performed well in Dortmund, when the Polish Lewandowski established a foothold in the team and occupied the main position, he did not have many opportunities to appear.

If Barrios is willing to be a substitute, that's fine.

However, he is unwilling to be a substitute and has a bad temper. When his potential is almost fully exploited, staying in the team is a big hidden danger for the locker room.

Therefore, faced with the poaching from the Chinese Super League tycoons, Klopp did not hesitate to sell it for cash.

Generally speaking, Dortmund's lineup strength has not suffered much this summer.

Although the main midfielder Shinji Kagawa has been lost, newcomer Royce has greater potential. As long as he gets well adjusted with the team, his contribution to the team may exceed Shinji Kagawa's in the future.

Unlike Bayern, Dortmund is a passionate young guard. Their playing style is unrestrained and impactful, setting off a youth storm in the Bundesliga.

Last season, officially relying on this youthful storm, they defeated the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich three times, winning the league and cup double championship, and beating Bayern without any temper.

Facing this kind of opponent who relies on pressing and active running to play the game, Werder Bremen can no longer use the tactics used against Bayern.

It is very dangerous to let young players like Dortmund besiege their own goal, because once they go crazy, not even the top giants can stop them!

So, what tactics should be used to deal with them?

Shaf rubbed his temples and thought hard.

…

Perhaps it was because of the win against the powerful Bayern that many young players in the team seemed very excited.

Although they went to bed early to rest as required by the coach, they were still unable to fall asleep.

When they finally fell asleep, they didn't know what time it was.

At 10:30 the next morning, it was time for the team to gather for training.

But less than half of the players came down on time to join the gathering, and most of the people who came were old players, and the young players were almost completely wiped out.

"I'll tell them to come down!"

Seeing that the head coach's face didn't look good, assistant coach Hoenebach took the initiative to speak.

"Why don't we let them sleep a little longer, let's train first!"

The physical fitness coach objected, believing that waking up young players at this time would cause them to lack rest and greatly affect the evening game.

However, coach Schaff nodded to Hnebach and asked him to call someone.

"I would rather lose this game, but also want to tell these young people one thing. In my team, I do not welcome those who do not follow the rules!"

He has delayed the team's gathering time to give them plenty of rest.

It is these people who do not adjust their mentality, which leads to oversleeping.

Of course, he is also responsible for this. He did not calm the players' mental state in advance, calm the emotions of the young players, teach them experience, etc.

But now, he can't sit back and watch players violate the rules without dealing with it. This will reduce his authority as a head coach and even give young players a wrong impression:

It seems that not following the team's rules is no big deal, and you will not be punished anyway.

If they really feel this way, it will not only affect the team's future tactical arrangements, but even affect the careers of these young players.

No team will like players who are undisciplined and do not abide by team rules.

Lin Quan and De Bruyne looked at each other and had a deeper understanding of their coach.

Coach Schaaf won't give you a bad look when he should be reasonable, but when he is working, he also has his own ruthless side and is extremely principled.

Sure enough, it is definitely not easy for someone to be the head coach of a team for such a long time!

Because there were not all the players, the training in the morning was very simple.

Lin Quan has been practicing free kicks with De Bruyne during this period. One of them practiced powerful volleys, and the other practiced the arc of the outside instep.

De Bruyne's free kick level is already very high, but he lacks a little change in front of the goal.

Therefore, his penalty kicks were easily saved against some experienced goalkeepers.

Therefore, he plans to add a little variety to his free kicks, similar to the elevator kicks that Ronaldo often plays.

When the ball is flying halfway, it suddenly drops and catches the opponent by surprise.

It is not easy to practice this well. In addition to having sufficient strength, you also need to control the angle of force and the position of eating the ball.

After the elevator ball is kicked out, try to prevent the football from spinning. In this case, the resistance of the football in the air will be much greater than the rotating ball.

When a player kicks the ball vigorously, it will give the football a very high initial speed. When the initial speed is greater than the final speed, the effect of the Magnus effect will be obvious.

When the football reaches its highest point, it will not descend like a normal parabola, but will suddenly descend like an elevator.

This is the principle of elevator ball!

This principle was the conclusion reached after the Gazzetta dello Sport hired professional kinematics and mechanics experts to make precise calculations.

According to experts' calculation formulas, to achieve the effect of an elevator ball, the initial speed of the football must exceed 100 kilometers per hour, which requires great strength from the free throw player.
