Chapter Twenty-Six: The True Strength of the Main Defense
On the training ground, the players are still practicing Klopp's tactics again and again, and Lin Yu is also working hard, but he is still an eighteen-year-old kid after all, and after success after success, he is gradually a little fluttering, as if he feels that he is already a unique star on the field, and no one is his opponent.
Klopp has been observing the performance of the players, and he is naturally very aware of Lin Yu's various performances.
"Chloe, that kid seems to be a little too proud, if he goes any further, it will hurt him." Lao Ping also noticed that Lin Yu's mentality was not quite right, and couldn't help but say.
"Well, you have to let him know something, otherwise he will lose confidence by being beaten in an official game, and it may ruin his life." Klopp nodded in agreement.
"What then?"
"It's easy to do." Klopp stood up and shouted to the players: "The main team has resumed its original position and tactics, Lin Yu, you have joined the substitute team this time, Bakaloc, don't you want to try the feeling of the core of the new tactics?" This time, you will take on the core and let Lin Yu assist you. ”
Lin Yuzheng was playing happily, and he was a little unhappy when Klopp shouted like this, but he is not a person who messes around, since the coach has spoken, let's change it, anyway, he can perform his best.
The main team quickly got into their position, because it was an offensive and defensive drill, so the whole team was involved, and the main team also had to attack with the usual tactics, and then the substitute team relied on the new tactics to seek goals.
According to Jurgen Klopp, it doesn't matter if the substitutes lose, as long as the tactics can be rehearsed.
Lin Yu once again returned to the left winger position he was most familiar with, and although Klopp said it was a left wing-back, he didn't think it made a difference.
He remembered the first trial at Dortmund, when he completely broke Piszczek and broke down the Dortmund backline.
He felt that he could before, and now there was no reason why he couldn't.
Piszczek and Subotic partnered, the main defense was his own right side, that is, he happened to be opposite Lin Yu, looking at this old opponent, Piszczek smiled, in fact, he has always wanted to get the field back, as an experienced and experienced defender, that time was played by Lin Yu, it was a great shame for him, and it was something he couldn't bear.
This time he wants to take revenge and tease this triumphant Chinese kid well.
Subotic didn't play against Lin Yu, because he was on the bench in the last game, but he had also seen Lin Yu's strength and knew that this young man was not easy to deal with, but he was not nervous, because he felt that he was more powerful.
Training soon began, with Bakaloc breaking through with the ball, and according to Klopp's tactical thinking, his side was to contain the opponent, try to attract the opponent as much as possible, and then create opportunities for the other attacking players.
However, in the face of the defenders of the main team, Bakaloc could barely get within 30 meters of the main team's goal, and as soon as he moved, the ball was almost lost.
Schmelzer and Hummels' left side of the defense are equally strong, and Bakaroc's basic ability is not as good as the current Lin Yu, so he is naturally unlikely to break through.
In desperation, he made a long pass directly and handed the ball to Lin Yu at the far end.
This ball was also lucky, and he actually found Lin Yu very accurately, and Bakaroc was also relieved, but he knew that his implementation of tactics had lost to Lin Yu before, and it was too much of a failure.
After Lin Yu took the ball, he was very confident to break through with the ball, but he suddenly found himself caught between Piszczek and Subotic.
He tried to pass the ball out, but found that his teammates had not yet run to the position, he tried his best to calm down, chose a feint, and tried to shake Piszczek, but unlike the time of the trial, Piszczek was not angry today, nor panicked, he accurately saw Lin Yu's feint, and then suddenly a flying tackle shoveled the ball out of the sideline.
This is just the first time.
For the next dozen times, almost in the same position, the ball at Lin Yu's feet was either shoveled away by Piszczek or cut off by Subotic.
Even Lin Yu's passing line was completely blocked by the home team's defenders Kyle and Gundogan, who were like a lone wolf in the desert, isolated.
He didn't panic, his mentality didn't change, he still kept calm, and even did every move very well, but it didn't work, the opponent was too strong, and he didn't give him any chance at all.
On another occasion he almost passed the ball out, but his team-mate did not run into place and the ball was held in Weidenfeller's arms.
Lin Yu finally understands now that there is still a big gap between himself and these star-level players, although this is mainly because his teammates know him too well to judge his intentions again and again, but this is not enough to comfort him.
He knew that today he was completely defeated by Piszczek, defeated by Subotic and defeated by the entire main team's backline.
Thankfully, this is just an intra-team confrontation, if this was an official game, he would have been replaced by the coach a long time ago, why should he stand on the pitch when he didn't show anything at all?
After the training was over, after returning to the locker room, Lin Yu was a little bored, but he did not lose confidence, he knew that he still had the ball king cultivator, and he could continue to improve, he was just anxious, how to improve his performance at this stage.
After changing his clothes, Lin Yu went home, although Lao Ping wanted to go up to comfort Lin Yu for a few words, but was stopped by Klopp, Klopp said: "This hurdle can only be passed by himself, others can't help, comfort can only be counterproductive." ”
Lao Ping sighed, he was just worried that Lin Yu would lose confidence from now on, in fact, this worry was really superfluous, three years of dark days, he couldn't knock down Lin Yu, how could he knock him down if he lost a match?
Piszczek and Subotic, who had won the confrontation, did not seem particularly happy, but Bakaloc looked excited, thinking that his chance had come.
He walked up to Piszczek and said excitedly: "The main force is worthy of being the main force, it is really powerful, that Chinese kid does not know the height of the sky, and it was just luck during the trial, this time you moved the real character, and he immediately showed his original form." ”
Piszczek said coldly with a gloomy face: "Shut up, you know a fart!" ”
The originally elated Bacaloc was scolded like this, and he was very embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know how he offended this master, so he could only turn around and leave in a gloomy manner.
"What, even if you win, you still have that kind of expression, and I don't know who to show your face to, it's really unlucky!" Bakaroc muttered a few words, changed his clothes and left, today's training is over, he can also go back to rest and rest, he even dreams that when he trains tomorrow, coach Klopp will let him completely replace Lin Yu and become the core of the implementation of the new tactics.
