Chapter 2850 Schalke 04 coach Baum: No, we can't lose!

During the off-season, fans look forward to the start of the league every day.

However, once the league actually starts, you will find that the games are too dense.

For fans who truly love the team, this is a kind of harm to the players.

Of course, the more this happens, the more it tests the level of a top head coach.

How to rotate the lineup and how to arrange tactics reasonably are both top priorities.

This time Dortmund faced their city rivals Schalke 04 at home, and the fans had only one thought - they must win.

The Champions League is stumbling.

Now that he is back in this league, he must strike hard, right?

You should know that Schalke 04 is ranked 17th in the league at this time!

Although they drew 1-1 with Hertha Berlin, which is ranked 12th in the league, in the last round, stopping their three-game losing streak.

But it cannot erase the fact that they are ranked second from the bottom in the league.

But then again, Schalke 04 is indeed in a miserable state this year.

In the first round of the league, we played against Bayern and were beaten 8-0!

The second game was against the strong team Werder Bremen. They conceded two goals in the first half. Although they scored a face-saving goal in the second half, they still lost to their opponent 1-3 in the end.

The third game was even worse, as they faced RB Leipzig, a strong rival in the Champions League, away from home.

Leipzig, playing at home, was like a Red Bull in heat, charging towards them and taking a 3-0 lead in the first half.

We finally stopped in the second half and won the game 4-0.

In this way, Schalke 04 got off to a hellish start this season.

Now in the fifth round, we meet last year's runner-up Dortmund again...

That is to say, in the first five games, Schalke 04 played against the top three teams of last season.

Schalke 04 at this time was just like the team in Stephen Chow's movie. Who could be more miserable than him?

It's the complete opposite of the situation at Schalke 04.

Although Dortmund's new season has not been smooth, the results are very good.

Except for the second league game where they were tied by a relegation team, they won the remaining three games.

Now they are ranked first in the league with the advantage of goal difference.

But Dortmund is also in trouble now.

As Ten Hag said in the pre-match press conference, "We have to admit one thing. The intensive competition has exhausted us, so we will take the initiative to rotate in this game."

"Of course, our dependence on Ye is also a big problem, but thankfully, Ye has never let us down! We are willing to rely on him!"

Just as Ten Hag said this, Ye Chen next to him also spoke.

"Dortmund spent 300 million to buy me back not to be a mascot. I hope I can be a support for my teammates and fans, and enjoy it!" Ye Chen had a faint smile on his face.

I want to eat strawberries~

It can be regarded as supporting Ten Hag.

Sure enough, a touch of emotion flashed in Ten Hag's eyes next to him.

When he went to Ajax before, there were more factions in the locker room and small fights were constant.

But after coming to Dortmund, he found that he didn't have to worry about the locker room problems at all.

There is only one thing he needs to do - communicate more with Ye Chen and listen to his opinions.

As for the other players, they all followed Ye Chen's lead!

Other head coaches might feel that this lacks their authority.

But for Ten Hag it was a great experience.

All he needs to do is study the tactics and deal with his opponents.

And win everything with Ye Chen.

Therefore, his work efficiency was very high during this period, and several substitutions and tactical adjustments also had miraculous effects.

Of course, Ten Hag has found the secret to the success of several previous head coaches.

Whether it is Löw, Klopp, Ancelotti or Solskjaer, etc., they all cling to Ye Chen's thighs.

Ten Hag is naturally intelligent and grasped the key points immediately.

But Dortmund has indeed been in trouble recently.

After several tough battles, Dortmund is full of injured players.

Especially defensive players.

Schmelzer, Zagadou and Schulz are all injured, and even Emre Can feels unwell.

The defense was stretched thin for a while.

There are only two things Ten Hag can do now.

One, let the players who started previously hold on a little longer.

Second, tap internal potential.

It would also be possible to recruit a few young players from the second team or the youth team.

But this matter is not that simple.

Fortunately, Schalke 04 is not very strong now, otherwise Dortmund would have a lot of headaches.

But the problem now is not just the match against Schalke 04. After finishing this league match, there is also the Champions League group stage next week...

The players are not given any rest at all.

In order to avoid physical fatigue of the players, he had to grit his teeth and rotate them.

But in this case, it’s hard to say who will win or lose!

But some tough words still need to be said before the game.

Facing Schalke 04, their arch-rival in the Ruhr derby, Ye Chen bluntly declared, "The most memorable match against Schalke 04? Of course it was the 15-goal victory... I scored 11 goals in that match and also set the record for the fastest hat trick in the Europa League. The memory is very vivid."

After Ye Chen joined Chelsea, he was unable to participate in the Champions League, so he played in the Europa League.

Later in the Europa League, Chelsea beat Schalke 15 0-04.

Ye Chen scored 11 goals in a single game.

It's memorable.

That is also the biggest points difference in UEFA.

What Ye Chen said at this time was a declaration of war on Schalke 04!

Schalke 04's current head coach is Baum, who was also the head coach of the German U19 in 20.

Was poached by Schalke 04 this season!

But... now the position of coach is in jeopardy.

Facing Dortmund, who are currently going crazy in the league, Baum gritted his teeth and said, "It's undeniable that our recent form has been very low! But don't forget, this is the Ruhr derby, the most popular derby in the world! I hope everyone can give their all in tomorrow's game and let Dortmund see our strength! Break the slump and return to the top!"

The game hasn't started yet, there's no surrender.

Before the game, Schalke 04 club executives also found Baum.

"We don't ask for much... We can lose this game, but we can't lose too badly!"

Baum gritted his teeth after hearing what the higher-ups said.

"No, we can't lose!" Baum said fiercely, "Now is Dortmund's weakest time since the start of the new season. We must seize this opportunity and let them see what we, the miners, are capable of!"

Baum returned to his office and watched the video of Lazio's match against Dortmund with a serious expression.

He watched the live broadcast of this game.

I learned a lot from it.

Since Lazio can almost overturn Dortmund, why can't I do it?

"Gooooal~~~"

"Ye's ultimate move!!"

The sound of Ye Chen’s final roar when he made the final kill rang out from the computer.

Baum directly clicked to close the interface!

Ye is very strong, there is no doubt about that.

But the football is round!

When everyone is pessimistic about us, we work hard secretly and surprise everyone!

P.S.: Yesterday was explosive! 8 out of 7! Even got two scores right! Only Mourinho is clueless, sweeping Feyenoord 5-2!
