Chapter 304

Chapter 149

Atletico Madrid have won five consecutive victories, while their Champions League opponents Borussia Dortmund in next week's game have fallen to the bottom.

Even a coach like Klopp seems a little helpless in the face of this Dortmund team. This Dortmund meritorious coach is now in serious self-doubt.

It was late at night in Dortmund at this time, but Klopp still stayed in his office and did not leave.He is preparing for the fifth round of the Champions League group stage against Atletico Madrid in the middle of next week.

Now Dortmund has scored six points and ranked second in the group. In order to ensure qualifying, they need at least one point at the Calderon Stadium.After all, if Roma beat Liverpool away and Dortmund didn't get points in Calderon, then in the final round of the group stage, Dortmund would have to beat Roma at home to secure a place in the group.

If it was Dortmund before this season and won Rome at home, it is estimated that Dortmund will not feel too much pressure.

But now Dortmund is not what it used to be.

If it weren't for their difficult [-]-[-] victory over Borussia at home in the last round of the league, they would have ushered in a six-game losing streak in the league.

That's right, before playing against Borussia, they had suffered five consecutive defeats in the Bundesliga!
Dortmund in this state, not to mention facing strong teams like Atletico Madrid and Roma, even some downstream teams in the Bundesliga now dare to have some ideas at the Westerly Stadium.

Judging from the composition of Dortmund's players, they should not be a team of this level.The total value of the 28 players in Dortmund's first team is 3.44 million euros, and the average value of each player is 1229 million euros, ranking second in the Bundesliga.If it weren't for the recent increase in Li Qingshan's worth by the transfer market website, the sum of Dortmund's worth even surpassed that of Atletico Madrid.

And Dortmund's problem is not in the offense. Their best offensive methods are still there. Their quick counterattacks and through passes in the middle can still create a lot of opportunities, but after eleven rounds of the league, Dortmund only scored. Just twelve balls.And their conceded goals reached seventeen!
How did these 4 conceded goals come about? Dortmund conceded the most goals because of their own mistakes and caused the opponent to score. There were 26.67 conceded goals, accounting for 3% of the total; among them were conceded goals caused by left-sided defensive problems and There were 20 goals conceded due to defensive problems on the right, accounting for [-]% of the total.The overall state of Dortmund's defense this season is not good, and there have been outrageous low-level mistakes from goalkeepers to fullbacks to central defenders.

The opportunities created cannot be grasped, the defense makes frequent mistakes, and the team's overall defense is full of loopholes. This season, both sides often have the embarrassing performance of being unable to attack and defend.In the full-back position, Klopp has tried many starting combinations.

Their opponent, Atlético de Madrid, has been in good form recently, especially their striker Li Qingshan, who has scored goals in almost every game. Currently, the barrel of the Chinese striker is burning hot.

Klopp can think of many ways to strengthen the defense against Li Qingshan, but what he can't control is the player's mistakes.

If there's one culprit behind his team's slump this season, it's too many turnovers.And it wasn't just one or two players' mistakes, the entire team from the goalkeeper to the striker, almost every player had a fatal mistake.

This is a crime other than war.

Dortmund, it's late at night.

Klopp shook his head and sighed.

The game time came quickly. On November 27, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Dortmund challenged Atletico Madrid away.

Dortmund is a young team with an average age of only about 25 years old, but in the dressing room before the game, the atmosphere was a little heavy.

Even Aubameyang, who is usually the most active, is no longer in the mood to sing and dance in the locker room at this time.

Anyone who loses ten games in more than ten games in a season will think about it now, with low morale and low mood.

Especially when facing a more powerful opponent.

If Klopp, as an elder with rich life experience, can still make a fortune in silence, without revealing his inner cowardice, he can always make himself look confident and unparalleled.

So young people in Dortmund don't have such a rich life experience.

Their frustration and lack of confidence can be seen at a glance.

This season, Dortmund's players did not work hard. They respect Klopp very much and are very devoted to the game, but they just can't win the ball.In the long run, how many people can still maintain confidence.

The more serious Dortmund players are also falling into serious self-doubt at this moment, this is no longer a problem of lack of confidence.

Klopp walked in, and he basically explained the tactics before the players went out to warm up.

Klopp tapped the tactical board, and Dortmund's players looked up at their manager.

Immediately afterwards, Klopp turned on a video and projected it on the wall with a projector.

He didn't say a word, just stood by.

But as the video continued, the Dortmund players stood up unconsciously one by one.

Here is a compilation of their goals from last season.

Their quick counterattack.

Their dazzling frontcourt quick pass and cut cooperation.

Royce's speed on the wing.

Mkhitaryan's genius pass assists.

Aubameyang single-handedly scored against offside.

One by one, it was shown in front of the players.

When the video was about to end, Klopp began to speak. His voice had the aura of a leader, and people would choose to believe him unconsciously.

"See, this is your ability!"

"This is the ability you should have!!!"

"You are the best players!!"

"Marco!"

Royce raised his head, and Klopp looked at him for a few seconds with eagle-like eyes.Royce didn't dodge, he looked firmly at Klopp.

Klopp nodded in satisfaction.

"See these goals, you can do it before, and you can do it now!"

"Forget about those damn goals conceded this season, those damn games! In this game, we have only one goal! Beat Atletico Madrid!"

"Think about it, the defending champion of the Champions League was defeated at your feet. This is enough to prove that you are still an excellent Dortmund!"

"Now we have no way out!"

When Klopp finished speaking, the young people of Dortmund had already been agitated by him and their hearts were on fire.

This is a battle of redemption, and the players need an opponent with enough weight to prove themselves!

They were great then, and they are just as good now!
Although Klopp doesn't know the story of the underdog winning.But now Dortmund is a mourner.

They are like wounded beasts, silently licking their wounds in their dens, while the eyes of tigers and wolves are already staring at their prey.
