Legendary Road

Yan Jing was standing on the sidelines of the court wearing a long-sleeved shirt with the Borussia Dortmund logo on it.

The clear blue sky is cloudless, and the warm afternoon sun is not blinding. In the season of late spring and early summer, it reflects the green grass, which is just the right soft warmth.

Munich is the third largest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg, and has a temperate continental climate.Even in July, the hottest month, the average temperature is only about 20 degrees Celsius, and the temperature in Munich today is estimated to be only [-] to [-] degrees Celsius, which is very suitable for outdoor sports.

A middle-aged man came out from the player tunnel. Yan Jing glanced at the Bayern Munich logo on the chest of his clothes, and took the lead to meet him and stretch out his hand.

"Hello, I hope we can put on a wonderful game together today."

It's not the first time for Bayern's coach to see Yan Jing. When he was a guest at Dortmund last time, he was secretly surprised by Yan Jing's youth. He stretched out his hand and held Yan Jing's hand back.

"hope so."

Immediately after the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel, Yan Jing returned to the bench and took out a brand new mini notebook - the original one had been filled by Yan Jing, so he replaced it.

Before the opening game, Hanno, as the captain, guessed the coin on behalf of the team. He hesitated and chose tails.

As it turned out, the coin tossed by the referee happened to be tails too, which made him relax a little bit, and then he chose the backlit side as his position in the first half.

Thanks to Yan Jing's almost neurotic attention to the players' health, Dortmund's U13 players have rarely suffered injuries this season.

In this game, Yan Jing does not intend to make any reservations, and will send all the strongest starting 11 players to the field.

In order to see it more clearly, Yan Jing came to the side of the stadium and looked at Bayern's half court. He saw that the opponent also adopted the same 4-2-3-1 formation as himself today.

The difference in the performance of the same formation will not be seen until later in the actual combat. After all, each head coach has more or less his own unique insights into the same formation. Coupled with the differences in players' technical styles, There may also be two very different styles of play in the same formation.

The referee stood on the center line to confirm that the players on both sides were ready, and then he blew his whistle.

The kick-off Bayern player habitually handed the ball to the midfielder behind him, and then pulled it to the side to make room for the players in the center to move forward.

The Dortmund players remember Yan Jing's pre-match arrangement-don't slow down on the court to find the feeling at the beginning, attack boldly while ensuring that there are no obvious loopholes in the defense, and try to catch the opponent by surprise.

Stefan strode forward to press Bayern's midfielder, and the opponent knocked the ball horizontally to the player who had just been pulled to the side.

Dam kept his position and watched intently the Bayern players running towards his own half. He glanced at the Bayern players who quickly inserted in the middle from the corner of his eye, thinking that he could not give the opponent a chance to pass. He stretched out his foot decisively and poked the ball out of the sideline.

The referee signaled that it was a throw-in.

The Bayern players held the ball and observed that Dortmund's defense line was relatively forward, and threw the ball vigorously to the forward left back, trying to make a wall kick with his teammates to get rid of Damm who was next to him.

However, his teammates obviously failed to understand what he meant. After receiving the ball, he dribbled the ball into the crowd. As a result, Damm, who quickly chased back, stretched out his feet and tackled cleanly at the front of the penalty area.

The Bayern players were still hesitating whether the ball was suspected of being fouled, and Yan Jing on the sidelines immediately issued an order: "Dam, give the ball to Marco—"

Damm looked up and found Royce who was going forward and looking back at him. Before the Bayern players stepped forward to intercept, he quickly kicked a long pass to find Royce on the right.

At the same time, Bayern's coach has already noticed that something is wrong. The large space in the half of the field is not a big problem for the extremely fast Royce to break through.

"Ortega, don't let him pass!"

The Bayern players were still struggling to catch up. Ortega, as a central defender, wiped his own full-back's ass, looked at Royce's thin body, and then took the initiative to block in front of Royce.

Royce glanced at the tall and burly Ortega in front of him, hesitated for a moment and still did not choose to force a breakthrough, and knocked the ball to Gotze in the middle.

But it was just the hesitation between the flashes and flints, Bayern's players have basically returned to their defensive positions.

After receiving the ball, Gotze saw that the best time to counterattack had been missed, so he was not in a hurry to hang his feet into the penalty area, and simply started a positional battle with Bayern.

Yan Jing on the sidelines naturally did not miss this scene. He quickly recorded in his notebook that "Marco is still not confident enough in the confrontation with physical contact, and still needs to be strengthened", and made a circle emphatically.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Dortmund's players controlled most of the possession time.They have made several beautiful passes and cuts, but because Bayern's formation is very tight, the ball will be blocked by Bayern's players as soon as it enters the penalty area, so it does not pose any substantial threat.

After these 10 minutes, Bayern's players have gradually adapted to Dortmund's style of play, defending more calmly.And due to the massive pressure on the siege, the gap behind Dortmund is also very obvious, which gives Bayern the conditions to fight back.

At the beginning, Yan Jing had been paying attention to whether the players on the field could find a way to deter Bayern's goal by themselves. However, when Dortmund's ball was cut off, he subconsciously looked towards his own half, but found that his own team except the goalkeeper The last line of defense had already passed half the court, and he was so angry that he almost threw the pen out of his hand.

Did these little bastards take his words on deaf ears? !Do you know what it means to have no obvious loopholes in defense? !

"Get back to your seat! Hanno, don't press so far forward!"

The skills of the Bayern players have never been bad. Through simple three passes and two passes, they took the ball across the half in just a few seconds.

The situation was reversed in an instant. Hanno didn't have time to blame himself for pressing too high. He desperately chased back and tried to get back to the penalty area before the opponent took the ball.

But he is tall and big, and his speed is obviously not as fast as the opponent's small and fast striker. He can only watch the back of the opponent's player getting farther and farther away from him.

Dortmund's goalkeeper Carus had already entered a state of high concentration when his side lost the ball. Seeing that the opponent's forward was about to dribble into the penalty area, his teammates hadn't returned to their positions.

Carus glanced at the other side from the corner of his eye again, and found that the opponent's support player hadn't arrived yet, so he decisively chose to abandon the goal and attack.At the moment the opponent's striker raised his foot to shoot, the whole person rushed over and blocked the ball out of the sideline with a standard sliding shovel action of a defender.

However, the opponent's striker also fell in the penalty area, hugging his ankle in pain.

The other Bayern players had already arrived, and they raised their hands to signal to the referee that it was a foul as soon as their teammates fell to the ground.

Carus stood up from the ground and looked nervously at the referee: "Sir, I didn't touch him!"

Carus understood that if the referee counted him as a foul, according to the rules, it would be a penalty kick and a red card, and Dortmund would instantly fall into an extremely unfavorable passive situation.

The Bayern players naturally refused to let Carus go easily: "Sir, I saw it! He hit someone first!"

Fortunately, the referee was in a good position just now, so that the line of sight was not blocked. He indicated that the ball was not fouled, and the game continued.

The Bayern players on the ground stood up reluctantly, and Yan Jing and all Dortmund players on the sidelines finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then Yan Jing gestured to Hanno to recover the formation, asking him to inform the whole team of his decision.

Han Nuo didn't dare to neglect, and told the whole team what Yan Jing meant.

Now the situation was reversed at once, and the besieged side became Bayern Munich, while Dortmund responded with intensive defense.

However, the head coach of Bayern will naturally not make the mistake of Yan Jing just now. He yelled on the sidelines not to press the defense too high, first control the ball firmly under his feet, and don't rush to attack.

The game on the field was in a stalemate, but there was an old man with white hair on the sidelines watching the game with great interest. The Bayern staff seemed to have just seen the old man and followed him immediately, with a respectful tone.

"Mr. Beckenbauer, Mr. Hopfner will be here soon, do you need to go to his office first..."

Beckenbauer waved his hand to signal no need: "Oh, it's okay, I'll just watch the ball here and wait for him by the way."

Yan Jing likes to command his team to fight in a passionate way on the sidelines, and this happened to attract Beckenbauer's attention.

"Is that the head coach of Borussia Dortmund?" Beckenbauer looked at Yan Jing who was shouting at the players on the field, looking a little surprised, "An oriental man?"

Bayern's staff didn't know Yan Jing very well, and couldn't give an accurate answer to Beckenbauer's question.

"I heard it's a Chinese...it looks like he's only 20 years old."

Chinese?And still so young?

This is an unheard of miracle in German football, even Beckenbauer had to look at Yan Jing a few more times.

"Tony, pay attention to your movements when you make up defense—"

On the court, Tony just blocked a ball from Bayern out of the sideline and collided with the opposing player. Yan Jing took the opportunity of the dead ball to call Gotze to the sideline.

"Mario, ask the whole team to change their defensive methods, take the initiative to adopt a full-court pressing and man-marking tactic, focus on taking care of Bayern's two midfielders, and counterattack quickly. It is best to hit the ball with one kick."

Getze wrote down Yan Jing's words while drinking water, and nodded to Yan Jing to indicate that he understood.

Yan Jing rubbed Gotze's head, and told Gotze to return to the court quickly-the referee was already urging him.
