[Football] Crown of Thorns

On Monday after the match against Bayern, Dortmund's players returned to the training base one after another and began to resume training.

This week they will face a week of double matches, especially on Wednesday when they will go to the UK to play the Champions League with the Premier League club Arsenal, which means that their whole team will go to the UK tomorrow.

Gama, who came to the base, was called to his office by coach Klopp after completing the basic training.

After pouring a glass of water for Gama, Klopp leaned against his desk, looking out at the lawn outside through the glass window in front.

"Xiko, since you came here, I have talked to you several times."

"three times."

As soon as Klopp's question was out of his mouth, Gama immediately answered it.

"You remember it very clearly."

Klopp turned his head and looked at it. Because he came directly from the training ground, Gama only put on a jacket on the training uniform and ran up. There were a few touches of green on the lower body of the ball pants, probably from being stepped on. To the reason on the turf!

After a few seconds of silence, Klopp smiled, "For Saturday's game, I'm a little curious why you slowed down the pace of the game at that time in the final, shouldn't it be more offensive at that time, since the opponent's momentum has declined at that time ?”

This question made Gama stunned. He thought about many reasons the coach found, but the only thing he didn't expect was that the coach didn't ask the reasons he thought of.

"Well, the opponent's momentum was declining at that time, but he was also a little irritable emotionally. It can even be said that he was impulsive and angry. I think if he continued to fight hard, it might arouse his opponent to act impulsively. There could be issues with flagrant fouls and things like that..."

After hearing Gama's thoughts, Klopp uttered an oh.

Although he knew that Gama is a player who can use his brain, but this ability to play on the spot...maybe one day, he can become a good coach.

But now his thinking is still too simple.

As a coach, you must not only consider the on-the-spot command, but also consider the mentality of the players, the thoughts of the fans and other considerations. Under his command, Dortmund is not afraid of Bayern, so after a game, he needs to consider not only It is winning, and there are other things such as observing the performance of certain players, etc...

"I see, you can go back."

After waving Gama to leave, Klopp took a sip from the cup and sighed again.

Gama, who walked out of the coach's office, stared back at the sign on the office door after the room was closed. He looked at it for several seconds before slowly leaving.

...Looks like I'm doing too much!

Gama thought.

As old Tiha told him, he was offside!

Scratching his long curly hair again, Gama sighed deeply.

In the evening, he talked with Agostinho on the phone. After listening to Gama's retelling, the old Tiha also sighed.

"I get it. Now you just have to play well and leave the rest to me!"

Agostinho to Gama.

"...In other words, a club has already contacted you?"

Gama asked after a few seconds of silence.

"Isn't that a matter of course!"

Agostinho answered.

"I understand."

With the phone in his hand, Jia Ma glanced at the assistant who was preparing fruit at the other end of the living room. He opened the door and walked into the back yard.

In Dortmund in winter, there is a lot of moisture, which makes the temperature extremely cold and humid. You can feel the cold air in your chest when you take a breath, which makes you shiver.

The backyard was neatly maintained by a professional gardener, but looked so gloomy in the cold night through the indoor light.

"Bundesliga..."

The assistant, who was busy in the kitchen, accidentally looked out the window, and suddenly felt that the back of Gama walking alone in the backyard looked a bit pitiful—he shook his head involuntarily, how could he be pitiful, his employer Young, handsome, rich and famous, every day there are many girl fans chasing after him asking for autographs and hugs, a man who has almost everything he pursues in the world, how can he be pitiful!

Borussia Dortmund, who arrived in London one day earlier, placed the team's accommodation not far from Arsenal, and also rented Arsenal's rivals Tottenham Hotspur in advance as their temporary training. training place.

"...Are you sure you are a mortal enemy?"

Standing on Tottenham's ground for recovery training, the Dortmund players chatted while running.

"That's why he is the mortal enemy!"

Because they also have derby rivals, the Dortmund people answered very smoothly.

Jia Ma shrugged, and said to Sven, who was running beside him, "Hehe, mortal enemy!"

And someone looked suspiciously at it, "Are you guys laughing at me?"

"NO, of course not."

Jia Ma didn't feel that he was laughing, he was just feeling emotional, so he answered very simply.

"Hum..."

…………

Arsenal Football Club (ArsenalFootballClub) is a football club located in the northwest of London, the capital of the United Kingdom. Founded in 1886, it is one of the twenty football club teams in the English Premier League, the top league in England. It is also the largest in the Premier League. One of the clubs in China, from the establishment of the club to the present, has won a total of...

"Please I didn't ask you to read this to me~~"

Jia Ma covered his ears and yelled at Ge Xiaopang unbearably.

There were laughing and laughing voices from teammates all around, and Ge Xiaopang said seriously, "...Since your serious lack of football knowledge has affected our image, I think it is necessary to give you various knowledge tutoring... "

"..."

Jia Ma stretched out his hand and grabbed Ge Xiaopang's neck, showing a 'sinister' smile, "Although I'm a scumbag in studying, I can't compare to you academic masters, but I can basically fight back against you from the outside!!!"

"Shikoshiko, calm down~~"

Sven, who was watching from the sidelines, yelled empty mouths, but sat motionless on the chair and watched Jia Ma's 'assault' scene without stopping.

"Okay, okay, don't make trouble!"

It wasn't until the captain Kyle, who had seen enough excitement, came forward that Jia Ma let go of Ge Xiaopang, who was suppressed by him.

Ge Xiaopang sat upright aggrieved, and flattened his mouth at the captain, "It's too much, too much, this is a serious act of slander, I want to apply for sanctions against classmate Jia Ma."

"Hehe," Weidenfeller, the calm deputy team leader, smiled, "He can't hit your spirit, but he can destroy you humanely from the body on which the spirit depends."

"Woo, I'm not coming~~"

Ge Xiaopang pretended to cry.

Then Sven gagged him with a piece of bread.

"Woo... this is murder!"

Ge Xiaopang struggled and said.

Gama raised the slice of bread in his hand, "I have another piece here, do you want to eat it?"

"...NO!"

hahaha~~

In the fifth round of the 2011-2012 Champions League group stage, Arsenal played against Dortmund at home.

At the Emirates Stadium, when the two teams have not yet entered the stadium, the stands of the stadium that can seat 6 people are already full of spectators.

The on-site commentator was chatting with his partner about some tidbits and gossip about today's host and guest teams.

Talking about today's game, they started talking about various records...

"...In the previous first leg match between the two sides, Borussia Dortmund at home won their first victory 2-1. This is the second round match between the two sides in the group stage. The Arsenal club returned to the home court with a decisive confidence Facing the visiting team... In the previous record of the two teams, Arsenal defeated Dortmund at home in 02.

而阿森纳主场10次对阵德国球队的战绩是8胜1平1负，唯一的败局已经是很久以前的1996年联盟杯主场负于门兴格拉德巴赫的那一次，自从03年主场0比3负于国际米兰之后，阿森纳在近25场欧冠小组赛中的主场比赛中保持不败纪录。

As for Dortmund, they have visited England five times in history and achieved a total of 5 wins and 2 losses..."

When they got the starting lineup lists of both teams, they started talking about the players again.

Arsenal (433): 13-Szesny; 6-Koscielny, 4-Mertesacker, 5-Vermaelen, 11-Santos; 17-Alexander Song, 8-Arteta, 16 - Ramsey; 14- Walcott, 10- Van Persie, 27- Gervinho;

多特蒙德(4231)：1-魏登费勒；26-皮什切克，27-费利佩桑塔纳，15-胡梅尔斯，29-施梅尔策；22-本德，5-凯尔；11-格策，8-加马，19-格罗斯克罗伊茨；9-莱万多夫斯基。

"Judging from the starting list we got, neither team changed their starting lineup in the league match last weekend. Arsenal's German international Mertesacker appeared in the middle of Arsenal's defense today. What he will face is the attack of Hummels, Schmelzer, Sven Bender, Gotze and other national team teammates..."

"By the way, another match in this group at the same time today will be played in Marseille, France, against Marseille and Olympiacos..."

"Now players from both sides have entered the field."

"The players from both sides led the caddies into the court..."

"...The captains of the two sides exchange team flags..."

"The game is on!"

With the whistle of the referee, Gama pushed the ball lightly and handed the ball to Gross Kreutz in front, who got the ball Gross Kreutz passed the ball, and Gotze passed from the Arsenal defense line He jumped out and shot directly. This low shot 25 meters away from the goal was easily obtained by the opponent's goalkeeper Szesny.

"The angle is too straight!"

The on-site commentator said.

"The game has just started and Dortmund already had a chance on goal."

"We can't give them too many chances..."

"It's hard to say. Dortmund's midfield strength is quite good. If you can't suppress him, then the game may soon enter his rhythm..."

"Oh my teeth, it's not good!"

Gama, who took the ball, did not pass the ball this time. Instead, he dribbled the ball directly into the Arsenal half. Only when he was not far from the penalty area did he suddenly make a backheel pass and hand the ball to the defender from behind. Plug in the Schmelzer.

Schmelzer hit the door immediately.

It's a pity that the ball was too chasing angle, which caused the football to fly out of the baseline against the goal post.

Jia Ma pursed his lips, shook his head and retreated to the middle circle.
