Midfielder Ruler

Dortmund was a guest at the Esprit Global Arena and defeated their state rival Düsseldorf 3:1. The process and result were very good, but Weidenfeller's foul before the end of the game was unnecessary.

After all, the score was already 3:0 at that time, and it didn't matter if he conceded a goal from behind. As a result, he abandoned the goal and knocked down the opponent's striker, which resulted in a yellow card and a penalty kick.

If the opponents in the next round of the league are easy to defeat, there is no problem. The key is that Dortmund will face Bayern Munich at home in the next round...

Before the crucial battle, the main goalkeeper was suspended for accumulating five yellow cards, which has a great impact on Dortmund's preparations for the German national derby at the Westfalenstadion next weekend.

As the saying goes, a good goalkeeper can be worth half of the team.

Weidenfeller is not a German national goalkeeper, nor is he a top goalkeeper in the Bundesliga, but his game experience is very important to Dortmund now.

He didn't make amazing saves, and he didn't make unnecessary mistakes.

The goalkeeper is a position that does not seek merit but seeks no faults, so Weidenfeller has been Dortmund's number one goalkeeper for many years.

One word, stable.

In the middle of next week is the second round of the Champions League semi-finals, and next weekend is the German national derby. Coach Klopp has a bit of a headache.

He really didn't expect that the starting goalkeeper would be suspended for accumulative yellow cards at this juncture.

The starting goalkeeper has accumulated yellow cards and is suspended. The second goalkeeper must be used. The problem is that the current second goalkeeper Yan Junling has not played an official game since he joined Dortmund. Uncontrollable consequences occur...

Of course, this is not where Klopp really has a headache.

His biggest headache is whether to use Yan Junling in the second round of the Champions League semi-final in the middle of next week. The 4-0 advantage at home makes this away trip much easier, and there is a lot of room for maneuver in terms of personnel use.

But the position of the goalkeeper is very special, and easy replacement will cause great hidden dangers.

Besides, Yan Junling has not played an official game in Dortmund, how is his mental state?

Will the game be tense?

Many issues need to be considered in advance.

at the same time,

The Chinese media's domestic reports have been overwhelming, but the focus of attention is not China's number one star Tang Zheng, but Yan Junling.

Yan Junling, who joined Dortmund at the beginning of this year, is not favored by many "experts". In the past football years, there have been no cases of Chinese goalkeepers playing in foreign leagues. Even if you look at the entire Asian goalkeeper playing for European teams, it is rare.

Who is Yan Junling?

The goalkeeper who comes from the Genbao training base, that is, represented Shanghai Teles in the Chinese League One, and has never played in China's top league, will play for a top giant like Dortmund.

Until the 31st round of the Bundesliga in the 2012-2013 season, it seemed that Yan Junling's hope of playing for Dortmund seemed to be greatly increased.

The No. 1 goalkeeper missed the German national derby, and the No. 2 goalkeeper naturally had to go up.

The public opinion that happened in China quickly spread to Dortmund, Germany through the Internet. As a post-90s player, Yan Junling grew up with the development of the Internet, so he usually likes to use social software.

Weibo is a good thing.

Yan Junling saw the news about him in the meager favorites, so...he realized that he would very likely be the starting goalkeeper for Dortmund's next home match against Bayern Munich.

I am a mother!

Yan Junling, who saw the news, felt that a big pie fell from the sky, and almost knocked him out.

After a short period of adaptation, Yan Junling began to feel nervous.

This tension has continued to the Stobelari training ground, and even affected the quality of Yan Junling's training.

Goalkeeping coach Teddy De Beer led three of the first-team goalkeepers through training at the other end of the goal before walking towards Klopp frowning.

"Huh? Teddy, what's the matter?"

Klopp turned to look at Teddy Dibeer, the goalkeeper coach, who looked depressed.

"I think it will be difficult for Yan to play for the Clasico at home next weekend."

Teddy Debile said seriously.

"Oh? Are you acting too nervous?"

"Huh?" Teddy Dibil was stunned: "How do you know? Could it be that you watched the simple warm-up training just now?"

"No." Klopp shook his head and smiled, pointing to his temple and said, "Guess from here."

Teddy Dibeer gave Klopp a blank stare, and said speechlessly: "Get rid of it, you will compete with Bayern for the league title next week, do you still have the mind to joke with me?"

"You can't say that." Klopp put his right hand on Teddy Dibeer's right shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Everyone is nervous, the key is to see how we guide them. Yan is not only my favorite." He's a prospect, but also a good goalkeeper you're pushing for, huh?"

Hearing this, Teddy Dibeer smiled awkwardly. In the past two days, the German media has been reporting on who will replace Weidenfeller, who has been suspended for accumulative yellow cards. As a goalkeeper coach, he is under certain pressure.

After all, in terms of goalkeeper selection, the goalkeeper coach is more authoritative.

As Klopp said, Yan Junling is a young goalkeeper he is quite optimistic about.

Everyone will feel nervous, but whether people will be defeated by nervousness depends on time and competition.

And Klopp also said that tension needs to be guided and turned into endless motivation.

This aspect should be done by the goalkeeper coach.

At the same time, Tang Zheng walked up to Yan Junling with a bottle of highly nutritious drink prepared by the team doctor, and handed it over: "Here."

Tang Zheng's status in Dortmund was like a king, even as a compatriot, Yan Junling was taken aback and froze.

"Don't drink?"

As soon as the words were finished, Yan Junling subconsciously took the drink bottle.

"Sit down."

Yan Junling naturally sat on Tang Zheng's right, while unscrewing the cap of the drink bottle.

"It's possible to be in the starting line-up for the weekend's home match against Bayern. Are you excited but also nervous?" Tang Zheng cut to the chase.

"Yes." Yan Junling knew Tang Zheng's character quite well, so he didn't deny it: "But I feel that there are more nervous elements."

"I understand your feelings." Tang Zheng propped his hands back on the turf, looked up at the blue sky, and smiled: "I remember the first time I participated in a national derby was eighteen years old, eighteen years old! Think about it... what kind of concept is that? How excited you are? How nervous? And it's a guest at the Candy Box Stadium, which is known as one of the most terrifying home stadiums in the world. The deafening stage boos swept over..."

"You should have heard about the following things. I am the best player in the game! The first Asian Argentine national derby best player! Later... I became the most hated player in Boca Juniors, and now, I am the most hated player in Bayern Player, I hope that after many years... you can hear Bayern fans say, oh, that Chinese Yan? I don't want him very much, I wish he died!"

Tang Zheng patiently talked about his past deeds, and Yan Junling was a very good listener.

Gradually, Yan Junling suddenly felt an unprecedented self-confidence bursting out from the depths of her heart.

Thinking was brought to the Westfalen Stadium, and there was a deafening huge cheer, and all the fans in the audience were chanting his name...

Tang Zheng turned his head to look at Yan Junling, didn't say anything, but stood up and continued his daily warm-up training.

In the rest shed of the Stobelari training center, Klopp pointed to the direction of Tang Zheng and Yan Junling and turned to Teddy Dibeer with a smile: "It seems that you can save a lot of effort."

"Oh?" Teddy Dibil put his hands on his hips, turned his head to look, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Maybe I should lose my job."

"Hahaha."

Immediately, Klopp and Teddy Dibeer looked at each other and smiled.

※※※

With Tang Zheng's enlightenment, Yan Junling's mentality gradually relaxed, and his daily training status slowly recovered. The goalkeeper coach Teddy Dibil, who was standing aside to guide, nodded lightly.

No one noticed that Weidenfeller's expression was much darker than before, and his brows were slightly wrinkled.

As Yan Junling's training status improved, Weidenfeller's frown became deeper.

At the beginning, Tang Zheng was replaced by Tang Zheng as the team's third captain because of his personality. He had some criticisms, but he had no choice but to give up the position of the third captain because what the head coach Klopp said was reasonable.

Facts have proved that Tang Zheng is indeed more suitable to be the captain.

This matter slowly evaporated with the passage of time, but the current starting goalkeeper position is threatened, how to calm down?

Yan Junling's condition is getting better and better, and Klopp has an idea of ​​​​using Yan Junling as the starting goalkeeper in the Champions League semi-finals.

The German National Derby is a very, very important game, and it is still an unremarkable game!

The four-goal victory over Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final gave the team a lot of room for maneuver, so in this case, should Yan Junling adapt to the starting goalkeeper in advance?

※※※

Dortmund's guest at the Nou Camp to challenge Barcelona for the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League semi-final second-leg contest was held at 8:45 p.m. local time on Tuesday in Europe. The Dortmund team arrived in Barcelona on Monday morning.

At Barcelona International Airport, a large number of diehard Barcelona fans 'greet' Dortmund.

What is "welcome"?

Naturally, there were deafening boos and extremely insulting verbal abuse.

Fortunately, the entire Dortmund team was well prepared. Except for a few coaches, the other players wore headphones with super sound-proof effects. Under the loud music, they could not hear the insults from Barcelona's fanatical fans at all.

Of course, those insulting posters and banners can be seen.

As Tang Zheng and Lewandowski were directly involved in Barcelona's "Westphalia Stadium tragedy", they received the most insults from Barcelona's fanatical fans, especially Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng is the captain, core, and spiritual leader of Dortmund. Currently, he is tied with Cristiano Ronaldo for the top scorer list with 11 goals. His threat is undoubtedly the biggest presence in the Dortmund team.

The diehard Barcelona fans hope to influence the mentality of Dortmund players in this way, so that Barcelona can take advantage of the second leg of the Champions League semi-final tomorrow night.

Dortmund can win 4:0 at the Westfalun Stadium, why can't Barcelona win 5:0 at the Nou Camp?

In the thirteenth round of La Liga in the 2010-2011 season, didn't Barcelona sit at Camp Nou and beat Real Madrid 5-0?

In order to get a chance to reverse and advance at home, Barcelona made a large-scale rotation in the weekend league, in order to achieve a major reversal at home!

Head coach Pep Guardiola and captain Harvey said on various occasions that the team still has a chance to reverse, and as fans, they naturally support it unconditionally.

If you want to win at home, it is nothing more than the right time, location, and harmony.

The weather cannot be manipulated, it depends on God's mood.

Geographically owned, sits at Camp Nou.

Renhe, what we have to do is to be united and active to the outside world, affecting the mood and state of Dortmund players' preparations.

As everyone knows, the influence of Barcelona's fanatical fans is tantamount to clowns.

With a 4-0 victory at home, Dortmund's players looked farther, and many players even set their eyes on the new Wembley Stadium. Why do they care about the defeated Barcelona?

Moreover, I was mentally prepared before arriving in Barcelona, ​​and there was no psychological fluctuation at all.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Dortmund team went to the Camp Nou to adapt to the venue.

They were treated exactly like the airport. The Barcelona fans outside the stadium made deafening boos in an attempt to disturb the mentality of the Dortmund team who adapted to the venue.

However, it turns out that their efforts have not received any return, and the adaptation of the Dortmund team to the venue has progressed very smoothly.

Two hours later, head coach Klopp led captain Tang Zheng to the press conference hall of Camp Nou to attend the routine pre-match press conference.

The questions from the Spanish media and the German media were well-regulated, and basically revolved around the competition. Only the question that the Chinese media reporters were qualified to ask questions changed the atmosphere of the press conference.

Although Barcelona is strong, many media believe that Barcelona's desire to achieve a major reversal is tantamount to a dream, so the second round of the contest is considered a formality.

The focus of Chinese reporters is different. They pay attention to who the starting goalkeeper of Dortmund's away game against Barcelona is.

Dortmund will return to the Westfalenstadion on the weekend to face Bayern Munich for the most important league battle of the season. At this juncture, the main goalkeeper Weidenfeller accumulated yellow cards and was suspended and missed the match list.

Then No. 2 goalkeeper Yan Junling will naturally be appointed in the face of danger and serve as the starting goalkeeper of the German national derby.

However, considering that Yan Junling has not had any chance to play since joining Dortmund, there is a certain risk in using it rashly.

It just so happened that Dortmund beat Barcelona with four goals in the first round of the Champions League semi-final, which gave the team a lot of room for error. So should Klopp give Yan Junling a chance to play away against Barcelona as the starting goalkeeper?

Originally, the Chinese reporter was holding the mentality of trying, but what he didn’t expect was that Klopp said bluntly and said very seriously: “Considering the weekend league, our coaching staff has agreed and decided to make Yan the leader of tomorrow night’s game. Goalkeeper."

Suddenly, the press conference hall was in an uproar.

The Chinese reporters were very excited. Yan Junling started the game and will set many records.

German journalists seemed a little displeased because it was too risky.

The Catalan reporters were livid. They believed that Klopp had underestimated the second round.

Klopp had a panoramic view of the expressions of the reporters present and smiled in his heart.
