Chapter 110 "Mad Coach" Bielsa
Captain Kyle's goal in the No.705 minute not only overtook the score, but also maintained the 2-1 score until the end of the game. Dortmund once again defeated their rivals in the Ruhr area in the away game. The Yellow and Black Army also completed the feat of killing Schalke 04 three times this season.

When Klopp took the players to express their gratitude to the Dortmund fans, they also received much more cheers and applause than usual. The victory in the Ruhr Derby is undoubtedly the most important game for everyone.

In the interview after the game, Klopp also praised everyone in the team. He said that the complete victory of the Ruhr Derby this season is inseparable from every player in the team. The victory is due to the unity of the whole team. At the same time, he also thanked the fans who have always supported them. Every victory of the team is a reward for their support along the way.

"Dortmund wins three games in the Ruhr area derby! ".

"The Yellow and Black Legion Triple Kill Schalke 04 in the Season! ".

"Kyle!Captain forever!The Ruhr Derby kills the game with a blow! ".

"The Veteran Shows His Power!Kyle's fatal blow! ".

"The new king of the Ruhr area is established!"The defending champion is unbeatable! ".

"...! ".

Naturally, the news reports on the second day were all the focus of the Ruhr Derby. Except for the local media in Geisenkirchen, there was not a single piece of news that did not praise Dortmund and captain Kyle.

……

The joy of victory in the Ruhr Derby also made the Dortmund team feel happy and proud during the consecutive days of training, and the players became more motivated during training.

After a week of active preparation and training, the first round of the Europa League semi-final between Dortmund and Athletic Bilbao is about to begin.

Athletic Bilbao is one of the most successful football clubs in Spanish history. It has won 8 La Liga titles, 24 Spanish Copa del Rey titles and 1 Spanish Super Cup title. It is the fourth best club in La Liga, second only to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

And Athletic Bilbao has not been relegated in La Liga since 1928.Only Real Madrid and Barcelona have this honor at the same time.

Nicknamed "Basque Lion", Athletic Bilbao also has a unique feature in La Liga and even in Europe, that is, the club only uses players with Basque blood, which has not changed until today, but made a small concession on the pure Basque blood.With the gradual integration of competitive sports and commercial development, Bilbao's Basque ancestry restrictions have also made concessions to a certain extent, and began to accept players who were born, raised in the Basque Country or have Basque ancestry.

Athletic Bilbao, which was able to get a European place in La Liga last season, has performed a bit unsatisfactory this season.So far, Athletic Bilbao is only ranked tenth in the standings after 34 rounds of La Liga.

Poor form and an away game, Dortmund was also favored by the major media paying attention to the Europa League before the game. It is generally believed that the Yellow and Black Army can successfully win the first round of the two sides at home.

If there is one person who has a different view on the outcome of this game, then this one must be the head coach of Athletic Bilbao Bielsa.

The character coach Bielsa nicknamed "Argentine Crazy" doesn't think much of it. In his opinion, Athletic Bilbao has every chance to win the game, as long as the team implements his tactics as always.

Bielsa, who was born in a top political family in Argentina, did not dominate the political arena in Argentina like his brother and sister, but chose his favorite football career.

If most players and coaches in the world engage in professional football for their livelihood, then Bielsa is one of the few, and Lin Tian is naturally one of the few.

As the super second-generation ancestor of a wealthy family in Argentina, Bielsa is only engaged in football for hobbies and ideals, and has the flaws of offensive tactics that change the football world. He wants to create super sharp offensive tactics on the court.

Bielsa's passionate command style and extreme advocacy of offense, coupled with his crazy personality, also made him a "crazy" in the coaching world.

He has a high reputation in South American football, and there are many admirers in the football world.Even Pep Guardiola, who is now a star, once hesitated to become a manager, embarked on an 11-hour journey with friends to Argentina to visit the personality coach, and talked with him late into the night.

Bielsa, who is extremely advocating offense, started to play three forwards when two forwards were generally popular in world football. He developed the unique and revolutionary 3-3-1-3 formation by himself.

Under his tactical system, the winger must have the ability to cut inside, the center must be able to pull the side, retreat and play the ball, and the defender must be able to advance with the ball, divide the side to organize, and organize a counterattack on the spot after pressing high in the frontcourt.

Think about it carefully, isn't this the most proud tactical play of Guardiola and Klopp?

That's right, this is the high-position press that the two most admire. They borrowed from Bielsa's tactics. If they have to describe it, they are mentors and students. It's just that Guardiola and Klopp have made different innovations in Bielsa's tactics.

In this season, due to the thin lineup of Athletic Bilbao, it is difficult to maintain an oppressive style of play in every game, so the results of the team coached by Bielsa in the league are not satisfactory, but they have performed well in the Copa del Rey and Europa League.

In the No.12 round of La Liga against Barcelona, ​​Bielsa even had such a bright moment as a draw against Barcelona, ​​which also made Guardiola exclaim that "the match with Bilbao is a love song on the football field".

In this season's Europa League, Athletic Bilbao met Manchester United in the second round of the knockout round. Manchester United with Wayne Rooney and Giggs is believed by the British media to win the final trophy all the way.

As a result, Manchester United, who played at home in the first round of the knockout round, was scored 2-3, and in the second round it was scored 1-2, and then was eliminated early, which also made Bielsa severely slapped the British media.

Then in the quarter-finals, they played against the star-studded Schalke 04. Schalke 04 is really not weak on paper this season. Needless to say, Huntelaar and Raul are on the forward line, and Matip and Papadopoulos are still sitting on the defense line.

Bielsa took Athletic Bilbao to Germany in the first round. After arriving in Germany, he was not polite. He beat Schalke 04 4-2 harder than Dortmund. Although the second round was tied with Schalke 04, the team still advanced comfortably.

He has successfully advanced repeatedly even in the semi-finals against Dortmund, but Bielsa and his Athletic Bilbao still have the determination to win.
