Chapter 302

The most famous confrontation in the traditional industrial Ruhr area is naturally the Ruhr Derby. Schalke 04 has performed stronger than Dortmund in the past few years, but since the new season, Dortmund's performance has clearly surpassed Schalke 04. The player was the Bundesliga runner-up last season!
Looking at the standings, Dortmund is at the top of the list, while Schalke 04 is jaw-droppingly ranked 16th in the league. If you ignore that there are only 18 teams in the Bundesliga, you may not be able to realize that Schalke 04's performance is There is no lower limit, another way of expression is more intuitive, they are in the relegation zone, third from bottom in the league!

Magath's team staged a cliff-like high-altitude fall in the Bundesliga in a way that their own club from top to bottom and the outside world did not understand or understand!

After losing to Hamburg in the league opener, they only got 10 victories and 2 draws in 3 rounds of the league, and lost all the remaining games!

9 points.

After 11 rounds, they actually scored less than 1 point per game!
The most surprising thing is that they performed well in the UEFA Champions League. After four rounds, they have 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. They have great hopes of qualifying for the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League, which is much better than their performance in the league!

No one can figure out what's going on with Schalke 04, whose lineup is obviously very competitive after the summer change.

On the other hand, Dortmund also took into account the European war this season. Even though they did not invest much in the Europa League, they did not exit early, and they still retain the hope of entering the top 32.

In addition to losing to Leverkusen in the first round of the league, they have been unbeaten in the next 10 rounds!
The most important thing is that their league victories before they met Hamburg had a high gold content!

Defeated opponents include Stuttgart, Wolfsburg, Schalke 04, Bayern Munich, Mainz.

Klopp's Dortmund has only lost to Heynckes' Leverkusen in the league so far.

It is conceivable that Dortmund's yellow storm will make their fans excited, looking forward to the championship that the team has been looking forward to for many years, and restore the glory of the past as soon as possible.

On the evening of November 11th, the first round of the Bundesliga in the morning will be the highly anticipated top game in German football!
When Situ Yunbing walked into the Westfalenstadion, he intuitively felt the frenzied atmosphere of the stadium. The sea of ​​yellow in the stands was dazzling, and the flags of Dortmund were flying around in the stands, like a A decisive battle is entering the countdown.

Bearded Klopp stood in the command area of ​​the home team coach in sportswear. He and Situ Yunbing looked at each other from a distance. Both of them looked calm. The coach of the visiting team commanded the area.

Perhaps Dortmund is the Bundesliga team whose home atmosphere can bring the most pressure to the opponent. Like St. Pauli's home terror atmosphere, it only appears for Hamburg, and the emotional incitement and influencing factors are too large.

When the starting players of the two teams walked into the field with their heads held high and their chests held high, Situ Yunbing and Klopp showed pride in their eyes at the same time.

For the world, there are five top leagues in European football, Ligue [-], Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Premier League.

But within Europe, it can be said that there are only three major leagues, Serie A, Premier League, and La Liga.

The reason why the Bundesliga is excluded is that in the European football landscape, the number of Champions League titles won by Bundesliga teams is not as high as that of the other three major leagues.

After the Serie A scandal broke out and entered a period of decline, although the Bundesliga has the momentum to overtake Serie A, due to the influence of the club's financial resources and policy environment, the Bundesliga still cannot escape the fate of being poached by the three major leagues.

Even the fans know that when Bayern Munich declines, they will poach competitors' stars from within the Bundesliga to achieve a revival of strength that ebbs and flows. This is where Bayern Munich's advantage lies. The team is from Bayern.

The Bundesliga team is relatively better than the Ligue [-], which is almost desperately unable to retain talents, but it is still a stage that is more inclined to cultivate young talents in the five major European leagues.

"Kicker" released a list just a week ago, which is a list of the most watched young players among U23 players in the Bundesliga.

Among them, Bayern Munich, Hamburg, and Dortmund became the teams with the most players on the list, and Hamburg topped the list, followed by Dortmund!

It can be said that more than half of the most talented and potential players of the new generation of Bundesliga are in Hamburg and Dortmund. Therefore, "Kicker" used a very freehand adjective to describe this matchup between the two teams.

"Future battle!"

This is more sunny and positive than the battle of wits and courage between Situ Yunbing and Klopp.

"Hear the deafening cheers at the Westfalenstadion?
In the 12th round of the Bundesliga, the two teams with the same points and tied for the top will start a Bundesliga peak matchup here!
The battle between Dortmund and Hamburg is definitely an extremely anticipated battle, because both teams have a youthful storm in the Bundesliga!

Just looking at their starting roster today, you can't help but think about it. How many players from these two teams will become regulars on the top stage of European football in three years at the earliest, or in five years at the latest?How many players will be regulars in the selection of the best team of the year in European football or even the best team in the world every year?
Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams.

Dortmund sits at home and starts 4231.
Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.

Defenders: Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer.

Midfield: Gotze, Shaheen, Shinji Kagawa, Bender, Gross Kreutz.

Forward: Barrios.

Dortmund also has Polish striker Lewandowski, midfielder Bwaszczykowski and other players on the bench.

Hamburg started today's away game with 433.
Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

Defenders: Westerman, Matheson, Boateng, Matuidi.

Midfield: Demel, De Bruyne, Kante.

Forwards: Aubameyang, Griezmann, Reus.

There are Elia, Rincon, Ogo, Van Dijk, Sun Xingmin and other players on the Hamburg bench.

I dare say that the match between these two teams will be very exciting. Some media in Germany worry that Situ Yunbing will make Hamburg play ugly in this game and use defensive counterattacks to deal with Dortmund, but I think Dortmund will put enough pressure on Hamburg. Sure to not make the game dull! "

In fact, just looking at the starting players of the two teams, it is not difficult to understand Situ Yunbing's judgment that Bayern Munich will be at a disadvantage in the three-team competition in the next two years. Ribery, Robben, these backbones support the team frame, they need to do too much work, it is difficult to solve all of them in a short time!

It is also not difficult to understand that Bayern Munich must quickly consolidate its position as the top class in the Bundesliga, and poach the pillars of its competitors in the simplest, direct and rude way.

Now there are rumors that Bayern Munich is very interested in some young players in the Bundesliga. Gotze, Reus, Hummels, De Bruyne, Boateng are all names on their list of interest.

Anyway, Situ Yunbing is unlikely to let the players go to Bayern Munich, it is completely embarrassing himself.

He is also looking forward to this matchup that almost includes 70% of the outstanding young players of the new generation of Bundesliga!

As for Klopp, it seems that he attaches more importance to this matchup than Situ Yunbing!
The tall Klopp does sometimes feel unkempt, but he never loses his passion, and even feels the impact of excessive emotional catharsis.

Today, he stood by the side like a sculpture, staring at the field with deep eyes, moving his eyes upwards, he saw the clear night sky of Westphalia, the bright moon in the sky, and the twinkling stars, like the highly anticipated players on the green field. A young man who can carry the future of European football.

In another three months, Klopp will usher in a milestone moment in his personal coaching career: ten years.

In February 2001, after retiring from Mainz, he took up the coach for the first time.

Staying in Mainz is seven years!
He led Mainz to relegation in the Bundesliga, led Mainz to the Bundesliga for the first time, and then experienced the coaching trajectory of being relegated from the Bundesliga and failing to relegation, just like a parabola, starting from the Bundesliga, reaching its peak in the Bundesliga, and then Fall into the Bundesliga again.

The "seven-year itch" made Klopp choose to resign voluntarily, and then he came to Dortmund, which was in the club's most difficult period in the past 20 years.

In 2005, a financial crisis broke out in Dortmund, with a debt of 1.25 million pounds that could not be repaid, and the club was on the verge of bankruptcy. After that, the club struggled for three years. In the early summer of 2008, Dortmund ranked 13th in the Bundesliga, the worst league ranking in the past 20 years. Ended the season .

But 2008 also became the first year of Dortmund's revival, and Klopp became the leader of Dortmund's revival.

After two years of growth and development, Dortmund has risen steadily, and finally today, Klopp is in the third year of coaching Dortmund. Although the season is not over halfway, everyone can feel Dortmund's ambition for the championship. Dortmund is so far away from the championship. close!
Maybe Klopp has a high degree of attention and popularity now, but his coaching career in the past ten years is an important foundation for him to lead Dortmund's rise.

There are too many coaches who started in low-level leagues, but have been rooted in low-level clubs, and their level has never been able to improve.

Compared with the obscurity and mediocrity of the player era, Klopp's dedication as a head coach is obviously admirable.

Even Situ Yunbing felt ashamed of himself for this.

Some experience has become the hard power of the coach after time has accumulated and fermented, and this is exactly what Situ Yunbing lacks.

Compared with Klopp's step-by-step rise, Situ Yunbing is only relying on his "vision" for the future to do his best to walk on the right path, but even so, he has to enrich and strengthen himself three times a day , but he knew in his heart that these experiences were far worse than those of the old Jianghu!
If last season's Champions League final hadn't been dangerous, he couldn't have beaten Mourinho, it was more like a fluke.

Situ Yunbing won eight championships in the past two years!

Two league titles, two French Cups, two French League Cups, one French Super Cup, and one Champions League!
Klopp has coached for ten years and has zero crowns!

But fate arranged for them to meet today and become each other's confidants!
Klopp's eyes returned to the field, but he didn't look at Situ Yunbing again, his serious expression carried a bit of firmness that no one could shake.

There are many strong teams in this era, and there are many masters.

There is always only one champion!
In the first decade of the 21st century, Mourinho, Guardiola, and Situ Yunbing rose like comets!
Jurgen Klopp is just running hard.

In the second decade of the 21st century, Jurgen Klopp is about to fight for the crown!
Ten years of sharpening a sword.

Unsheathed!
