Legendary Road

Even if it was just a U13 game, it attracted hundreds of Dortmund fans to watch the game.

Now they are very aware of the difficulties the club is facing now, and these children are very likely to become the mainstay of their team in the future.

Because of the relationship between the club's internal staff, Yan Jing and Stitch were able to watch the game at close range from the side of the court.

"I heard that the batch of children in Bremen are pretty good... Kraft spoke highly of them after returning from Bremen last time." Stitch looked at each of them doing warm-up exercises on the lawn The child curled his lips, "But we are not bad."

"Kafu?" Yan Jing's eyes were glued to Gotze, who was wearing the No. 10 jersey. Among a group of peers, this small man who is far from the average altitude is easy to find.

"Kafe Bryan, our club's scouting supervisor is in charge of looking for outstanding young players in the country." Stitch explained, "He is a chatterbox, as long as you mention young players to him, he can talk to you for most of the day. "

"Then maybe we will have a common language." Yan Jing suddenly felt that it would be good to recommend a few little monsters, although he didn't know if anyone would believe him.

While Yan Jing and Stitch were chatting, the young players on the field had finished their warm-up activities and stood in their positions waiting for the captains of both sides to kick off after guessing the coins.

Werder Bremen were lucky to get the right to pick a side, and their captain wisely chose the half against the sun.

The referee whistled, and Dortmund kicked the ball from the center circle and kicked the ball to his backcourt, and the central defender took the ball.

Without knowing his opponent's style of play, he faced Bremen's approaching press in the opening minutes.Dortmund's players chose to pass back, back and forth in their own midfield, and did not rush up without a particularly good opportunity.

本场比赛多特蒙德采取了4-2-3-1的阵型，而不莱梅则使用了德国人传统的拿手阵型5-3-2——在进攻的时候两个边后卫压到中场形成边前卫，防守时则退守形成边后卫。

The advantage of this formation is that if you have two excellent full-backs and a midfielder who can grasp the transition of offensive and defensive rhythms, the formation can be pressed up quickly. The configuration of five midfielders and two forwards can easily squeeze the opponent's line of defense.

Of course, if your full-backs don't have the absolute ability to attack and defend, then they can plug in the large gap behind the assist and the opponent will counterattack and hit the ball behind.

"Dell, pay attention to the running position of your teammates! Don't stick to the ball!"

"Get back on defense, Miller! Get back to your position!"

The coach of the Bremen team on the sidelines kept reminding the players on the field to do their jobs, while the coaching bench on Dortmund's side seemed much quieter.

Under the adjustment of the coach, the Bremen players, who at the beginning only knew that they would spare no effort to press down, also became calmer, no longer making meaningless runs, but consciously strengthened their control over the midfield.

Do you like flipping?Do it casually, anyway, it's in your backcourt, as long as your players don't lose their positions, you can't find any reason to do it.If you press too hard in front of your formation and expose a gap, you may be pierced through the entire defense by a precise long pass from your opponent.

Compared with the Bremen players who are becoming more and more calm, it is the Dortmund players who are gradually losing their composure.

After 10 minutes of the boring game, there were obvious differences in the Dortmund team. Some players wanted to control the ball, while others actively pushed forward and hoped to play more actively.

These different wishes can be easily seen by people who don't know football from the chaotic playing methods of the players on the field.

Yan Jing frowned, and if he continued to kick like this, he would be caught by Bremen sooner or later.

He looked towards Dortmund's coaching bench again, and the few people sitting on the coaching bench still seemed indifferent.

This made Yan Jing couldn't help complaining to Stitch: "Numan, why is our coach sitting on the bench like an idiot and doing nothing?"

Stitch, who has been paying attention to the situation on the field, only noticed the Dortmund coach's inaction after hearing Yan Jing's complaint. He also looked at the coach's bench, and then made a doubtful voice.

"what happened?"

"It seems that Will isn't here..." Stitch's complexion was not very good. "The one on the coach's bench is our team doctor."

"Late?" This was Yan Jing's first reaction, "But the game has already started for more than ten minutes."

Although in the major leagues, coaches are often late for some reasons, but it is only one or two minutes.

"I don't know." Stitch shook his head, then emphasized, "But Will has never been late before, never."

Even with all their talent and skill, you can never expect a group of 12- and 3-year-olds to play well without someone to guide them.

Their mentality is far less stable than that of professional players. Even professional players will become impatient when they encounter a difficult situation, let alone them?

So the situation of losing the ball is a matter of course.

Dortmund is habitual in the midfield, but the frontcourt players stand too far away from the midfield, and the forwards and the full-backs who are pressing heavily have no intention of retreating to receive the ball.

This led to a disjointed situation between Dortmund's two lines in the frontcourt, and the midfielder had no way to deliver the shells to his lone striker.

Under the command of the coach, Bremen's players suddenly sped up their tempo and partially sieged Dortmund's ball-handling players.This forced Dortmund's holding midfielders to scramble back to the defender.Facing the frenzied rush of the Werder Bremen players, the defender did not dare to play with fire near his penalty area, and quickly passed it back to the goalkeeper.

However, throwing the ball in a hurry is more likely to cause deformation of technical movements, and the defender passed the ball lightly.

The ball is rolling slowly against the turf, and in football games, it is stipulated that when receiving a return pass from one's own players, the goalkeeper is not allowed to catch the ball with his hands, except for the first ball ferry.

Bremen's No. 9 player is not tall, but his speed is far beyond his peers.

The little man's foot skills are usually relatively delicate. Cruising in the frontcourt, he spotted this low-level mistake made by the Dortmund defender, suddenly increased his speed and threw off the central defender marking him, and rushed straight to the low-speed rolling ball.

Dortmund's right back pressed too hard just now, and the defender's mistake was too sudden.This caused Dortmund's players to have no time to recover the formation to defend No. 9, which made him face a large open area in the penalty area.

Werder Bremen's No. 9 calmly pushed the goal close to the goal before the goalkeeper attacked.

Zero to one, Bremen lead away!

"Oh hell!"

The Dortmund fans who came to watch the game were all beating their chests, and Yan Jing and Stitch were no exception.

"The kick was too bad. I'm sure if we continue like this, our defense will be blown up by Bremen." Yan Jing came to the conclusion with certainty, and then asked, "Numan, why did our coach come here?" ?”

"I would also like to know the answer to this question." Stitch spread his hands.

But on the field, a situation worse than being behind at home appeared. While the Bremen players were celebrating the goal, the Dortmund players were arguing about the conceded goal just now, and the noise was so loud that the sidelines Yan Jing can also hear clearly.

"Dam, why don't you come back and defend!"

"I didn't know the ball you passed was so stinky!"

"If you hadn't been hanging around in front of me and didn't come back to respond, I wouldn't have passed on like that!"

"Stop making excuses, look at what a beautiful 'assist' you just passed! What a precise kick, oh, I'm so envious of you idiot!"

"You fucking seek death!"

At first it was just an ordinary quarrel, but the full-back's mouth was so poisonous that the defender Tony, who made a mistake, almost punched each other.

If the other team members hadn't come over to grab them when they saw the situation, I'm afraid a stadium brawl would have been staged at this time.

Not to mention the audience, even the Bremen players stopped celebrating and looked this way curiously.

What a shame!Some fans have already covered their faces and can't bear to watch it any longer.

Although the dispute was stopped under the urging of the referee, how can the Dortmund players have the intention to play well?

The two people who didn't see each other never had a simple passing cooperation since then, and the few good kicks from Gotze, who was still calm in the group, were also hit by the impatient forward.

Dortmund made too many pass mistakes in the midfield, which led to them being seized by Bremen one after another before half-time to play a beautiful counterattack.Player No. 9, who had already scored one goal, scored two more goals and staged a hat-trick.

At the end of halftime, Dortmund trailed Werder Bremen as a guest [-]-[-] at home.

The referee blew the half-time whistle, and the Dortmund players walked towards the locker room with their heads buried in silence.

There were two exceptions - they were still arguing over who was to blame for the first goal.

Yan Jing took this scene into his eyes with a livid face. He felt that he could bear it no longer—losing is not a problem, but such a useless loss made it difficult for Yan Jing, who was eager to win.

Although it is only a youth team, it represents the future of Dortmund!

"Numan, I'm going to the bathroom."

Yan Jing said something insignificant calmly, yes, at least he seemed calm.

"Go." Stitch didn't pay much attention, but when he turned his head and saw Yan Jing walking to the other side, he froze for a moment, and then shouted, "Hey, Yan! The toilet is not over there—"

Yan Jing quickened his pace, pretending that he didn't hear Stitch's words.

------------

There were only gasps in Dortmund's dressing room.

None of the players were willing to communicate with their teammates. The situation in the first half made them hold back the depression in their hearts, and they couldn't get over it.

It's not that they don't work hard -- their jerseys are soaked in sweat.

But why do you still play like this?Dortmund's young players find it incomprehensible.

They didn't know why the coach wasn't there, but there was no speech from Will in the locker room in the past, and the room was silent and overwhelming.

But at this moment, the door of the locker room was kicked open with a bang, and the players who were immersed in their own thinking world were shocked. They raised their heads and looked at the kindly smiling man in front of them in surprise uninvited guest.

"Good afternoon, lads, would you like something to drink?"
