Thomas Tuchel is the head coach of Mainz. His unique training method of diamond-shaped and circular fields made Xiaomi's eyes light up.

Tuchel pays more attention to short passes in small spaces, which is different from Guardiola's passing and controlling style.

He pays more attention to the cooperation in small spaces through the continuous position change of players during movement.

Tuchel is considered to be very young among coaches, only 42 years old, and he still has his own ideas in the game.

It's just that this person doesn't seem to have a good emotional intelligence and is too perfect.

Dortmund's current captain is Hummels, who is the backbone of the defense and the core of the defense.

The more famous one in the team is the striker Aubameyang, who is now the main striker of Dortmund.

Aubameyang is very fast, and his ability to shoot, protect the ball, make key passes and end the game is also strong. He is weak in the header and his state is not very stable. Although he is the main center position replacing Lewandowski, his performance this season is mediocre.

Marco Reus, the German Footballer of the Year, is also a very good midfielder for Dortmund.

He is handsome and very aggressive on the offensive line. In 2014, Dortmund announced that he was the team's vice-captain and a very important midfielder in the team.

The most important point is that he is also a local player of Dortmund. He has liked Dortmund since he was a child and has always regarded Dortmund as his home. Reus has a high status in the hearts of fans. Last season, he was troubled by injuries and had few appearances, but the team still renewed his contract with him until 2019.

Ilkay Gundogan is also a very important midfielder in the team.

His interception is very sharp and he is very good at using his body, but his personality is not as cheerful as Reus.

Kagawa returned to Dortmund from Manchester United again last summer and is also the core midfielder of the team.

Although they are all Orientals, Xiaomi has no good feelings for these Oriental players.

Kagawa likes to dribble past people, likes long passes and long shots.

The vision and running position are very good, but the defensive ability is very weak, not to mention competing for headers.

Looking at his height, Xiaomi instantly understood that he really couldn't jump up in the European arena.

However, being able to play in Europe, Xiaomi will still learn humbly. As long as the opponent does not provoke him, he will not target too much.

The main goalkeeper Weidenfeller is not only the oldest player in the team, but also the second captain of the team.

He is best at saving penalties. He joined Dortmund in 2002 and has been playing ever since.

Xiaomi looked through them one by one and understood why Dortmund attaches so much importance to him.

Dortmund's midfield reserves are sufficient, and the defense is basically enough, but there are only four players on the front line including him.

Colombia's Ramos is also a veteran who is almost 30 years old.

He has good jumping ability, strong ability to compete for the top and header, and likes to pass the ball with one foot.

However, his ability to protect the ball and counter offside is very weak. He only played 18 times last season, six starts, and only two goals and two assists.

Such data is not up to the passing line for a striker.

The other one is No. 7 Hoffman, who is the team's main set-piece penalty player besides Reus.

He is very strong in concentration, passing, set-piece, ball protection and control, and through ball.

He will be 23 in less than a month, which is the golden period for players.

However, he has just returned from Mainz on loan, and it is unknown how he will perform after his return.

Xiaomi checked for more than two hours and finally got to know all the players.

They are worthy of being the Bumblebee of the Youth Storm, although the results this season are not good.

The foundation is still very good, and he is looking forward to his life in Dortmund in the next three years.

At present, the official website has not announced the information of players joining in the summer window, and he does not know whether there will be any new strikers joining.

After packing up, he rested.

Maybe because of the time difference, he didn't have the energy to eat dinner and fell asleep on the bed. He slept until 7 o'clock the next morning. After packing up, he went downstairs to have breakfast.

At exactly eight o'clock, Karami knocked on his door.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Karami's first words almost made Xiaomi burst out laughing.

"How did you learn the greetings from my hometown?"

"Is this the way to greet people in your hometown? Mr. Sven is having breakfast in the restaurant downstairs. He asked me to ask you"

"It seems that I misunderstood. I have eaten. Let's go."

Karami helped him carry the luggage and they went downstairs.

This time Sven would go back to Dortmund with them, and Karami would of course be responsible for driving.

The distance along the way was not short, and they had to drive at least 400 kilometers on the road.

Germany's high-speed network is very developed. Not only is there no speed limit, but it is also free of charge. It is a paradise for self-driving enthusiasts.

Sven and Karami had breakfast, packed three cups of coffee and three sandwiches, and then they set off.

Xiaomi said very little, he was always enjoying the scenery on the road.

Gradually, he felt his eyelids start to fight, and he fell asleep again.

As for Karami and He didn't pay attention to what Sven was talking about.

He just had this problem, he wanted to sleep as soon as he got in the car.

When he woke up, the scenery in front of him changed. They had already got off the highway and entered the city of Dortmund in Westphalia.

Dortmund is known as a green city, covering an area of more than 200 square kilometers and with a population of only about 600,000.

Half of the city is covered with waterways, woodlands, cultivated land, green areas and spacious parks.

There is the largest canal port here, which leads directly to the North Sea.

After entering the city, the red buildings with red spires everywhere made Xiaomi feel like he had entered a European fairy tale world.

"Xiaomi, let's go to the hotel in Dortmund first, and then we'll go look at houses after lunch."

Sven found that he had woken up, and said to him while driving.

In Dortmund, Karami became a road idiot, and he was not very familiar with the city.

Xiaomi glanced at the time, it was not yet 12 o'clock, and he didn't expect that they would get from Berlin to Dortmund so quickly.

Sven introduced while driving, but Xiaomi was not very interested. He wanted to settle down early. He hadn't exercised for two days, and he was a little panicked.

After lunch, Sven took them to a villa area. The villas here are all white in appearance, neatly arranged in rows.

"Many Dortmund players live in this community. There are townhouses and single-family villas here. Take a look first."

After entering the community, Sven introduced Xiaomi like a tour guide.

"It is about 20 minutes' drive from the training ground. Only a few villas have small courts where you can practice."

"This neighborhood is very quiet and the security is very good. No fans will come to disturb your rest."

"The nearest supermarket is about a quarter of an hour away by car, but there is no public transportation here."

Soon they arrived in front of a villa, and after Sven parked the car, he took Xiaomi and the others in for a tour.
