On July 15th, Dortmund's pre-season training officially started - although there are World Cup matches this summer, the Bundesliga starts as early as ever. The league officially started on August 10th, which is the earliest in Europe.

It will be too early to pass the Premier League.

The four major European leagues have different characteristics. The Premier League starts very early but ends not too early. Because they have many games, there is basically no winter break, so playing in the Premier League is the most tiring. Serie A

It usually starts at the end of August or early September and ends either early or late. The winter break lasts about half a month. The start time of La Liga is uncertain, and the end time is also uncertain. If there is a big competition in the summer, it is usually September.

It starts in August and ends in June. If there are no major competitions in the summer, it usually starts in mid-August and ends in May. The winter break is also about half a month. The Bundesliga starts the earliest and ends later. However,

However, they have a winter break that lasts for more than a month, which is almost equivalent to dividing the league into two parts, and the league is basically played once a week, so even Bayern, which is rich and wealthy, will not let the team hoard too much.

stars, because in many cases they simply don’t need so many players.

For Dortmund fans, they are extremely happy about the gathering of the team. Dortmund’s signings this summer are very powerful. Rivaldo’s joining can be regarded as the number one star in the Bundesliga. After all, now

In the Bundesliga, there seem to be only a few core members of the world champion.

Frings is also a German international, Okocha is well-known, Kavinagy is a promising new star in Argentina, and Ismail's performance in Ligue 1 is also quite good. Such signings can be said to be quite valuable.

Even though Olic failed in the Bundesliga, he was Croatia's top scorer last season and his price was quite low, so no one thought there would be any problems with his joining. The only one who was ignored was Alvi

Because he is too young and not well-known, many media believe that he will join Dortmund's youth team.

Dortmund still has a lot of first-team players. In the past few days, three goalkeepers, including Reina and Oliseh, have found their new homes. The two young goalkeepers have transferred to the German third-tier league team.

, the old goalkeeper Laux moved to Eintracht Braunschweig in the Bundesliga 2, Reina also joined Bielefeld in the Bundesliga 2, and Olisekh is more popular. After all, he has also been in Dortmund in the past two years.

He can be regarded as half the main force. He has played more than fifteen times every season. In addition, he is only 28 years old, so many teams want him. In the end, Oliseh joined Bochum for 3 million euros.

, together with others, secured another four million euros in transfer funds for Dortmund.

"It's very good. Now we have saved 13.5 million!" Dick was very happy about this.

Evan Nelson and Jan Kohler have not yet responded to the club's request for a salary cut, but their situations are different. Evan Nelson is not lacking in the team, after all, he is only 27 years old.

There is a Brazilian international with good strength, so he is naturally unwilling to cut his salary, and there are many teams that want him. Not only the Bundesliga teams, but also the Dutch Ligue 1 and some middle and lower-tier teams in the three major leagues want him.

Buy him to strengthen your strength.

Jankoler's situation is different. He doesn't seem to want to leave Dortmund because he has his good friend Rosicky in the team, and he also wants to get some good honors under Dick's command, but the salary is only 3 million euros.

He was not willing to accept the half price reduction, but after seeing that Rivaldo only received three million, Okocha only received two million, several German international players such as Frings, Kyle and captain Vaughn

Si Ye only gets a salary of about 1.5 million, so he knows that a salary cut is probably inevitable...

Now Dortmund's lineup has been reduced a lot. Ten players have left and seven players have joined. There are 29 first-team members, and many young players will return to the amateur team again. Those who can stay

Among the young players, there are only four players: Klinger, Gemmell, Odonkou and Madoni.

Now Dortmund's lineup is still a bit crowded. The goalkeepers include Lehmann, Weidenfeller and a young goalkeeper Collins. On the defense, the right backs include Ruyter, Alves and Evar Nelson, and the left back has Dede.

And the young Achenbach. This versatile left winger was the main force in the Dortmund amateur team last season. He performed well and can also play as a left midfielder. His main task in the team is to serve as a substitute for Dede.

The central defender positions are Vaughns, Metzelder, Ismail, Madoni and the 20-year-old Metzelder. In the midfield, the defensive midfield positions include Frings and Kyle.

, Rosicky, Klinger, Gemmell; the attacking midfielders include Rivaldo, Okocha, and Riken, and the forwards include Kavinaji, Olic, Jankoler, Everton and Odonko, currently participating.

There are 26 people in the pre-season training camp. The other young players who are not considered by Dick to have any outstanding abilities have returned to the first team. However, they may get a chance in the German Cup, because in the German Cup match against the local

Young players have certain rigid indicators for appearance.

For Dick, the 26-man first team is a bit too much, but if Jan Koller and Evan Nelson are eliminated, the 24-man first team will be almost enough. He also has candidates for the German Cup, Xiaomei

Zelder, Klinger and Odonko are all players who can be cultivated. Although they did not achieve many achievements in later generations, they still showed their talents at certain times. Being a substitute player is

No problem.

The rules of the Bundesliga are that a team can have five non-EU players in the first team. However, one thing is that players from Eastern Europe and the former Yugoslavia are not considered foreign players in the Bundesliga. Therefore, although Olic is a Croatian, he is not a foreign player in the Bundesliga.

It is not considered a foreign aid. In addition, Okocha has stayed in Germany for a long time. He has dual nationality in Germany and is not considered a foreign aid. Therefore, Dortmund's foreign aids are basically South Americans - Dede, Alves,

Evan Nelson, Rivaldo, Cavinagi, Everton - obviously there is one more foreign player spot, that's why Dick wants to sell Evan Nelson.

On the first day of training, Dick arrived at the training ground early. Waiting for him on the training ground were his colleagues from Dortmund.

As Dick's number one stablemate, Marriner was naturally one of Dick's most valued assistants. Dick trusted his training level, and during this period, as a relatively honest person, he quickly established relationships with other

The assistant coaches became familiar with it.

Dortmund's coaching staff is very young. The three assistant coaches are all under 40 years old. The previous number one assistant coach Nehas is only 43 years old. The oldest member of the coaching staff, Kauper, is 55 years old. He was once a German coach.

The international player has played eleven times for the national team. It is rare to get such an opportunity in the German national team that has Beckenbauer, Gerd Muller, Nellinger and others, but Marriner was the first to be familiar with it.

It was him, because both of them were players before, and Marriner was also selected for the Spanish national team. Although he had not played against Copper, he could quickly close the distance between them when talking about football of that era.

Marriner also speaks German, so there is no problem in communication. The members of Dortmund's coaching staff also speak English, and Dick has no problem communicating with them, but Dick also knows that it is necessary to learn German as soon as possible.

After all, Dortmund is still dominated by Germans. Half of the current 26 first-team players are Germans. If you don't know German, you will run into a lot of trouble.

So recently Marriner has had an additional task, which is to teach Dick German - he is better at this than a tutor, because he himself is in the football circle and knows what he needs to learn first.

"Then we are all colleagues. The current situation of the club is not very good, and we need to work together in the same boat! The league is important, but for us, the Champions League is even more important, because it is related to our income!

We may have some fluctuations in the beginning, after all, the team needs to adjust and run in, so in the current pre-season training, we need to do better." Dick said to the members of the coaching staff.

Naijas raised a question: "Mr. Dick, you have to know that we will have the League Cup in half a month... If we concentrate on adjusting our state, our performance by then may not be too good.

Okay, but if you want to stimulate the state as soon as possible, it will affect your physical reserves. What is your decision in this regard?"

Dick didn't even think about it, but answered directly: "Give up the League Cup and focus on the goal of the entire season. You must know that our goal is not to win the League Cup. The League Cup is just a good training ground for us."

It's just an opportunity. If there's not enough time, it's okay to give up the first round of the league. What I want is the overall state, not a specific game."

"Understood." Naijas nodded, and then said nothing else - this is what Dick admired about the Germans. They often don't talk nonsense and are very disciplined.

"Everyone, I think you are not very familiar with me now... Generally speaking, I do not participate in training. However, I will observe the status of the players during training, so I am not a person who will relax training.

Coach, it’s just that I’m not very involved. The entire training plan was decided after Robert and you discussed it together. I won’t interfere too much, but you don’t need to ask me what I need to do during training.”

Several assistant coaches nodded at the same time. They had heard before that Dick hardly led the team in training. Now it seems that it is true.

After chatting for a while, players came out of the locker room one after another. The first to arrive were the two captains Ruyter and Vaughns, then the third captain Ricken, and then the future captain Kyle...

The first ones to come out were all Germans, and Germans are famous for their discipline.

However, Rivaldo, the number one star, did not give Dick a chance to show off his power. Perhaps he had heard about Jardell being fined for being late on the first day in the national team, so Rivaldo came not too late at all.

, Okocha, Kavinaji and young Alves were also not late.

When nine o'clock arrived, there was only one person left who had not arrived, and that was Evan Nelson.

Dick was not angry, but smiled slightly - it would have been better if he was late. He was the one who was going to sell it anyway, so there was no need to worry about using him to sacrifice the flag...

When Evanilson arrived, who arrived five minutes late, Dick looked at his watch directly, and then casually pointed at Evanilson: "You're late, go run laps, five laps, and treat it as you."

It’s time to warm up.”
