Champion’s Heart

v3 Chapter 12: Recognize

After leaving Radkersburg, the Dortmund team arrived in picturesque Switzerland and started their second training session. This training focused on technical and tactical training, mainly to give players a better understanding of the team's basic tactics.

Last season was Klopp's first season to take over Dortmund. With Dorr leading Dortmund to get the league's 13th comparison, Klopp's performance in Dortmund's first season can be considered good, and finally ranked Sixth, only one step away to qualify for the Europa League next season.

And Dortmund has shown some signs of Klopp's tactical thinking last season.

Then this season, Klopp will deepen and mature this tactic.

The most important point in Klopp's tactics is to emphasize running.

All players do not play in their own position, but run continuously throughout the game. Crazy high-speed snatching when defending, and mad rapid advancement when attacking.

This sounds a bit like Zhou Yi's tactics against Freiburg U19's opponent in the U19 German Cup final.

Zhou Yi played with the trident of Goetze and Mark when he was in the U19 in Dortmund, so it was not difficult for Zhou Yi to adapt to the rapid advancement of the offense. Moreover, his talent is more suitable for this kind of fast-advancing football, because he has to receive the football and then observe the situation. He has observed all the situations before the football has reached his feet.

He handles the ball naturally faster than other players.

Therefore, in the physical training, Zhou Yi's performance is not outstanding, he left the deepest impression to everyone that he may be the most embarrassed after each training.

But in the technical and tactical training, when the whole team started to practice together, Zhou Yi let everyone shine.

On the first day of training, Groscroitz just planned to raise his hand on the wing and signaled Zhou Yi to pass himself. As a result, his hand was only halfway up, and he saw that the football had flown towards him. He quickly raised his foot to stop the ball, but it was too hasty. Let him stop the football from the sideline...

Assistant coach Bovachi's whistle sounded. The training has to be restarted, and the other players have run out of position.

"Kevin, don't be distracted during training!" Bowarch shouted.

GrossKreuz argued grievously: "I'm not attentive, coach!"

Then he turned his attention to Zhou Yi's...back view.

I just ran into position. His football came over... Did he know that I would run to this position in advance and ask him for the ball?

Gross Kreuz was full of question marks in his head.

Training continues. Paraguay striker Lucas Barrios, who had just transferred from Colocolo, Chile, this summer saw an empty spot behind two defending teammates as he interspersed.

He hesitated. The vacancy is very hidden from his position. He is not sure if his teammates will find out in time.

But the instinct of the striker still let him quickly move forward. He had just drilled between two defending teammates, and football appeared on his side!

His conditioned reflex extended his foot to intercept the football, and then took a shot. Football comes online!

Although Weidenfeller made a save, but because Barrios shot too fast, too suddenly. So the reaction was still half a beat.

There was a burst of cheers outside the stadium-after coming to Switzerland, unlike the fully enclosed physical training in Radesburg, the training here was semi-closed. It is sometimes open to the outside world. The first training class here, Klopp opened to the outside world, so watching Dortmund from the training ground is not only close to the head coach Klopp, but also the loyal fans of Dortmund who have come from Germany for thousands of miles. And journalists.

Barrios, as the team's newest signing this season, spent 4.2 million euros on the team. His performance and whether his strength is worthy of this price are naturally concerns of the media and fans.

Seeing Barrios' beautiful shot, many people were very happy and cheered naturally.

The people outside the field were cheering, but Barrios, who scored the ball, did not have an excited expression on his face, but was stunned-the series of actions just now were completely instinct without thinking in the brain. How did the football arrive so fast just now? It made him a bit confused, and the ball stopped awkwardly. If it wasn't fortunate, maybe the ball could not be scored...

He sneaked a glance at the head coach Klopp on the sidelines and saw that he was applauding, thanking him.

Then he turned his attention to his teammates. Before he moved, he remembered the Chinese young man Zhou Yi.

Did he pass the ball?

He was quite complacent when he discovered the hidden void, but now it seems that someone found the void earlier than him...

※※※

Barrios only saw Klopp applauding from the sidelines, thinking Klopp was happy for his performance.

But what he didn't know is that he thought too much...

Klopp stared at Zhou Yi while applauding.

Zhou Yiyi passed the ball very decisively and passed it immediately after taking the ball. He didn't look up and hesitated.

This is in line with what Klopp observed in the youth team game.

Over the past few months, Zhou Yi's ability in this respect has not deteriorated, but has become stronger.

This made Klopp feel relieved.

※※※

After the six-on-eight offensive training ended, the team received a short break.

The players walked to the sidelines to drink water and rest, and assistant coach Bovac came to Klopp from the court.

Klopp asked Bouvac: "How is it?"

Boucchi nodded: "It makes sense that the kid can do the core as soon as he goes to U19. His thinking is super clear, and he has a good understanding of the team's tactics. But I didn't want to understand... Can he pass the football to the right place immediately after receiving the ball? Does he need to observe and confirm?"

Klopp shrugged: "Did you notice that he always shook his head from side to side during training? He didn't observe, he just observed it before catching the ball."

Klopp said so, Boiqi really remembered it, in the training, Zhou Yi is really shaking his head.

"Put it this way... this kid might soon be playing in our first team..." Bouvac said with emotion, and the young geniuses are really endless today. Dortmund has just got a Goetze, and now comes another Zhou Yi.

"That's not necessary." Klopp did not expect him to answer this, which surprised Bovac.

Klopp said with a surprised face, said: "This child's a bit very prominent, but the shortcomings are also very prominent."

"Are you talking about his physical fitness? But after the previous crush training. His physical fitness has been greatly improved. It is enough to deal with the first team game..." Bouvac said.

"No. Not enough." Klopp shook his head. "Because he still has to defend."

Boisi froze for a moment, then reacted and sighed, he was sorry for Zhou Yi. If Zhou Yi can receive formal professional training in the Dortmund Club Junior Team at the age of eight or nine like Goetze. He may be the main player of the first team now...

※※※

On the player's side, Groscrouts grabbed Zhou Yi with his head full of question marks: "Hey. Boy, you are being criticized by the coach!"

Zhou Yi was confused: "What's wrong?"

"The ball just now, I just ran to the place. Your ball arrived, and I didn't react at all. The stop was so big that the coach said I was distracted. Where did I distract?"

Zhou Yi suddenly realized, and then looked at Groscroyz with a smile.

"I found that you don't have to look up to find someone before you pass the ball. So how do you know that I will appear in that place, and then you pass the ball over?" Groscroyz asked the question in his heart.

Zhou Yi asked Gros Kreuz: "There is a clear space in front of you. Will you not run up?"

"Of course it will run..." Grosscroyz seemed to understand before he finished.

"That's not enough." Zhou Yi spread his hands. "Since you will run over, then I will pass the football a little bit in advance. Let you receive the ball when you run, isn't it better than running into the air and then passing the ball?"

The dialogue between Zhou Yi and Gross Kreuz also attracted the attention of other players. Zhou Yi's performance in the offensive training just now is seen by everyone. When the ball reaches his feet, the speed will become faster because he rarely He will hesitate after taking the ball, looking up and looking around. As soon as he catches the ball, he will immediately pass the football out. It may not be a straight ball, and some seem to be ordinary crosses and backs. Passing, but in short, the passing speed is very fast, and there is hardly much time for staying and thinking. Unlike other people, he still has to observe and think after taking the ball, and then pass the football.

This also made the other players who cooperated with him and received his pass feel a little uncomfortable.

They actually have doubts in their hearts. After listening to the conversation between Zhou Yi and Gross Kreuz, the team's midfielder Kuba asked: "But Zhou Yi, how can you pass the football in advance, how can you guarantee that it will not pass?"

Zhou Yi didn't know how to explain it, so he said, "Isn't this a big story? Kevin didn't think about it, he stopped growing up."

He can't always say to everyone: "Because I have been training with you for a long time in the virtual system, and I understand the running style and speed of each of you, so I know how to pass the ball."

In fact, in the virtual system, when he first started to practice with these teammates, there was often a lack of cooperation.

At that time, he did not understand the new teammates who were not familiar with him, and did not know how to cooperate with them.

It was only through continuous training that I found a little feeling and accumulated experience.

Zhou Yi seems to be integrated into the team quickly, that's just because he has already taken the step of "difficult to start with" in the virtual system.

Kuba was not very satisfied with Zhou Yi's answer. He asked: "What if it's a big one?"

"Of course, there may be a pass error, but I think this risk can be taken. Even if he didn't receive the ball, there was the situation in the training just now, but it is better to make a mistake on the wing than to make a mistake on the middle. ?" Zhou Yi replied.

Kuba was speechless because Zhou Yi was right.

Whether the risk should be taken, in addition to seeing whether the opportunity is good or not, it also depends on the location of the adventure. If it is at the forefront of its own restricted area, then do not think about taking risks, but choose the most stable way to deal with the ball. But if it is on the sidelines, the risks are totally worthless in the face of huge benefits.

Shaxin, the team's central midfielder, also raised his doubts: "Zhou Yi, the ball of Barrios just now, if I remember correctly, when he inserted the front, did you turn his back on him?"

Sha Xin said that everyone remembered that Zhou Yi took the ball back to goal before assisting Barrios. But just after receiving the ball, he turned around and put the ball straight, sent the football to the space between the two central defenders, and then created a chance for Barrios to shoot.

"Yes." Zhou Yi nodded.

"Then how do you know there is free time?" Sha Xin was curious.

"Uh, I saw it."

"Did you have eyes in the back of your head?" Groscroyz thought Zhou Yi was bragging.

"I saw it before catching the ball." Zhou Yi said. "So I passed the football right away. If I spend a little more time, the emptiness may be gone."

Sahin said that he had to nod his head. In fact, when Zhou Yi passed the football, Subotic and Hummels were already closed.

It is indeed a little later, and there is no need to pass the ball there.

Zhou Yi's answer made Sha Xin no longer doubt.

Weidenfeller asked Goetze again: "Mario, did Zhou Yi play like this when he was in the youth team?"

Gotze nodded: "Well, he always does this, passing the ball after taking it."

"No mistakes?" Weidenfeller widened his eyes~lightnovelpub.net~ a little surprised.

"Of course," Goetze said. "Sometimes he will also pass the ball wrong."

Weidenfeller was relieved now: "Scared me, I thought he had zero mistakes."

"No, Uncle Roman. That's not a human, but a robot." Goetze quickly relieved Weidenfeller's frightened heart.

"But even so, Zhou Yi is quite powerful." Weidenfeller said with emotion, "only eighteen years old..."

Getzer pointed to himself and said, "Uncle Roman, I am one year younger than him."

Weidenfeller quickly smiled and patted Gotze's head: "You are also amazing, Mario! Our Dortmund youth camp has really produced a lot of excellent young people in these years! Coach Klopp is another one. Coaches who like to give young people opportunities, I think we have a show in Dortmund this time!"

Goetze turned to look at Zhou Yi, surrounded by his teammates. He was answering all the questions that everyone asked him. The players seem to be curious about this teammate who has been with them for half a month. As if to meet him again. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
