Legendary Road

Now that the players had discovered Yan Jing, he didn't hide, and went straight to the side of the court to watch the little players train.

At the beginning, some players tried to go to Gotze and Royce to ask what was going on, but after Richard flew a few threatening eyes, they were all discouraged and continued training as if nothing had happened. .

Yan Jing waited until the U14 team's training was over, and then he entered the court and walked to Gotze and Royce who were sitting together.

"Marco, Mario, good evening." Yan Jing leaned over and held his head with one hand, and said with a smile, "How is it, do you think the training of U14 is different from that of U13?"

Gotze stretched some of the sagging socks to a few centimeters away from his knees, shook his head and tried to get Yan Jing's hand off his head, but failed, so he simply put his hands on the ground and turned his head back. Shang Yanjing looked proudly: "The training intensity should be higher, other than that, I don't think there is much difference."

Royce next to him interjected desperately: "Mario, didn't you just tell me that you were exhausted to death?"

Gotze's face burned hotly when he heard it. He broke away from Yan Jing's hand and threw Royce, who was tying his shoelaces, to the ground. He knelt on his knees and pressed his hands between Royce's ribs for support. , staring at Royce with wide eyes, thinking he was showing a fierce look: "Marco, when did I say that?!"

"Oh hell..." Royce fell down as soon as he threw himself on the ground. He calmly looked at Getze's flushed face, rolled his eyes and pushed Getze away from him, "Mario, what are you doing?" Haven't lost weight yet? Get off me quickly, you'll die of weight."

The situation in front of him made Yan Jing couldn't hold back his smile, and he let out a "puchi" laugh, which made Getze, who was pushed aside by Royce, puff up his face in dissatisfaction: "Boss, why are you laughing— —”

Yan Jing walked over to help Getce up, coughed twice with a serious face: "It's nothing, it's just..."

Gotze stood up and stared at Yan Jing: "What is it?"

Yan Jing patted Gotze on the shoulder: "That's... well, what Marco said is right, you should lose weight."

"Bah, bah, bah! I'm not fat!" Gotze subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his chubby face after saying this, and immediately defended in a low voice with guilt, "I just have a little more flesh on my face... ...that's all..."

Royce over there also got up from the ground, patted his jersey soiled by Gotze in disgust, and then waved goodbye to the two: "I have to go back first. Mario, boss, goodbye-- "

"Goodbye, see Marko tomorrow!" Gotze forgot what happened just now, looked at the completely dark sky, turned his head and said to Yan Jing, "Boss, I have to go back too , Mom is still waiting for me."

"Well, don't worry your mother when you go back early, and be careful on the way." Yan Jing nodded, "I will often watch your games in the future, and I have already obtained your schedule for this season from Richard."

Gotze blinked and looked at Yan Jing full of expectation: "Boss, are you going with the away game?"

"As long as I have time, I will definitely go."

----------

Yan Jing thought of the young men whom he had dug over. In order to observe them better, he went to Dortmund's youth training camp whenever he was free.This made the whole club know how much their first-team assistant coaches pay attention to the youth team - from Schmelzer and Coentraang at U18s, to Gotze and Reus at U14s, and U16s The Bender brothers and Thomas Muller, Yan Jing have all been to the scene to watch their games.

After more than two months of rest, the Bundesliga has also begun to rekindle the war as promised.

Although CCTV, which holds the rights to broadcast the Bundesliga, was not happy about not being able to interview Yan Jing, they gave up the match between Bayern Munich and Hamburg at the same time due to the strong demands of the fans, and instead chose to broadcast the match between Dortmund and Wolfsburg live. Contest.

The guest commentators for this game are also CCTV's best golden combination. They arranged for Huang Jianxiang and Tao Wei to comment.

Countless fans in China sit in front of the TV and look forward to it, just to see with their own eyes what it looks like to be a Chinese who can serve as an assistant coach in a top foreign league club.

Before the start of the game, the two had a series of discussions about Yan Jing in the studio.

"Hey, to be honest, I have been in the football circle for many years, but I have never heard of Yan Jing before the German media reported it." Tao Wei, a well-known Bundesliga commentator on CCTV He used to be a football player with rich experience in professional games. He was very curious about Yan Jing who suddenly appeared as Dortmund's assistant coach. Youth training camp, this is the road to coaching."

"Isn't that right? Now the foreign media are making a lot of noise about his Champions League and European Cup. I don't know if it will affect him."

"After all, you are a young man. It may be difficult to not be affected at all."

"The signal has been switched to the Westfalenstadion..."

"CCTV, CCTV, now is the first round of the 2004/05 Bundesliga season when Dortmund played against Wolfsburg at home. The commentators are Huang Jianxiang and Tao Wei—"

Yan Jing, who was sitting on the coaching bench for the first time, was not in the mood to pay attention to things far away in China. They faced Wolfsburg's challenge at the Westfalenstadion.

The season has just started, and the state of the two teams is not very ideal.But compared to Wolfsburg whose tactics are not much different from last season, Dortmund's cooperation with the new formation and new tactical thinking is obviously not as good as Wolfsburg's tacit understanding, and they tied 1-1 in the first half. In the second half, the opponent successfully used a counterattack to sneak attack, which eventually led to the loss of the first game at home.

The rebroadcast footage during the game was also frequently shown on Dortmund's coaching bench. Naturally, the broadcaster's intention was to show more shots of Van Marwijk, who was controversial because of the new tactics, but this also inadvertently led to sitting next to Van Marwijk Therefore, Yan Jing continued to show his face on the screen.

This game was broadcast not only in Germany and China, but also in some other European countries.As a result, many viewers who didn't watch football even blinked when changing channels, and saw Yan Jing sitting on the bench in a formal suit with his head bowed, his long and thick eyelashes half covering his deep black eyes, the young and resolute Dongfang The face is full of seriousness, the knuckles holding the pen and making records in the notebook are distinct, and the frowning when looking up at the situation on the court can't help but make people salivate.

After seeing Yan Jing, countless women and a small number of men couldn't help roaring in their hearts: I'm going, didn't I say that football coaches are all bad old men? !What is this one!People can't hold it at all!

So some excited people immediately began to search for information about Yan Jing on the Internet, learned about some of his previous managers who had been exposed by the media, and began to pay attention to the Dortmund team consciously or unconsciously.

Yan Jing had inadvertently entertained countless audiences in front of the TV, but he and the team were not happy at all.

In the first six rounds of the league, Dortmund only achieved one win, four draws and one loss, accumulating 7 points, ranking eighth in the Bundesliga due to their goal difference advantage over Freiburg and Bochum.

Compared with the ranking in the standings, what makes the majority of Dortmund fans unacceptable is that Dortmund is obviously not dominant in the scene.

In the six league games that have been completed, three of them were reversed or equalized with a half-time lead. Even Mainz, which was promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in history, managed to steal a point from them .

Although Dortmund beat Lubeck 1-0 in the German Cup with a header from Jan Kohler and defeated Winterhaching 3-1 in the German Bundesliga, the German media criticized Van Maar Vic was merciless.

The most concentrated contradiction is the use of the Brazilian Dede. Almost all media believe that it is a great mistake to push Dede to the left wing position-although Dede's offensive ability is not bad, it is obvious that his defense is his Housekeeping skills.

Once Dede presses too high, he will lose sight of the other, and many teams use the large space left behind by Dede to catch the counterattack and succeed.

Among the fans, some impatient fans shouted to dismiss Van Marwijk out of dissatisfaction, but the Dortmund club immediately asked the chairman Nibaum to express his support for Van Marwijk before the momentum expanded. Only then did the voices of fans' opposition gradually decrease.

However, what is worse than the poor performance of Dortmund's first team is Dortmund's financial situation. The debt of up to [-] million euros makes the operation of the entire club difficult. Even the Westfalenstadion has been mortgaged in exchange for funds.

Dortmund's general manager Meyer has been the most disturbed of late.

Not only the criticism from the outside world, but now even many insiders of the club have expressed their dissatisfaction with him implicitly, and proposed a decision to hold a general staff meeting in November.

"Michelle?" Meier called Zorc, rubbing his sore forehead.

Zorc, who was watching the game of the U16 team, answered the phone: "Meyer, what's the matter?"

"The shareholders just held a collective meeting, and they finally decided to call all the staff in the club together for a general meeting on November 11."

"...does Mr. Chairman know about this?"

"I think the shareholders should have already notified him. I have to say, Michelle, not only me, but even Mr. Chairman may not be able to continue." Meyer is very clear about what he has done in the past few years, "Actually, I also understand that if I hadn't advocated the introduction of high-priced stars back then, the club would not be at this point now, so even if I were asked to resign immediately, I would not complain."

"..."

Zorc couldn't help sighing. Now he is clear about the club's situation. The extravagance in the past few years has indeed brought about a short-lived brilliance, but after that the club has been in a long-term financial distress.

"Meyer... Regardless of whether your previous decisions were correct or not, I believe that you upheld a heart to make Dortmund better."
