Chapter 302: .302 Ten years of sharpening a sword

The most famous confrontation in the traditional industrial Ruhr area is naturally the Ruhr Derby. Schalke 04 has performed stronger than Dortmund in the past few years, but since the new season, Dortmund’s performance has clearly overwhelmed Schalke 04, even later. The winner was the Bundesliga runner-up last season!
Turning over the standings, Dortmund tops the list, while Schalke 04 is jaw-droppingly ranked 16th in the league. If you ignore that there are only 18 teams in the Bundesliga, you may not realize that Schalke 04’s performance is There is no lower limit, it is more intuitive to change the way of expression, they are in the relegation zone, third in the league!
Magath's team staged a cliff-like fall in the Bundesliga in a way that their clubs did not understand from top to bottom and the outside world did not understand!
After losing to Hamburg in the opening game of the league, they only got 2 victories and 3 draws in 10 league rounds and lost all the remaining games!
9 points.
After 11 rounds, they actually averaged less than 1 point per game!
The most amazing thing is that they performed well in the Champions League. After four rounds, they played 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. They have the hope of qualifying to the top 16 of the Champions League, much better than their performance in the league!
No one can understand what is going on with Schalke 04, who is a very competitive lineup in the summer.
On the other hand, Dortmund also took care of the European war this season. Even if they did not invest much in the Europa League, they did not leave early, and they still retained the hope of entering the top 32.
In addition to losing to Leverkusen in the first round of the league, there have been 10 undefeated rounds since then!
The most important thing is that their league victories before they met Hamburg are very high!
The opponents defeated include Stuttgart, Wolfsburg, Schalke 04, Bayern Munich, Mainz.
Klopp's Dortmund has only lost to Heynckes' Leverkusen in the league.
It is conceivable that the yellow storm in Dortmund will make their fans so excited, looking forward to the team's long-awaited championship, as soon as possible to restore the past glory.
On the evening of November 12th, the first battle in this round of Bundesliga was the highly anticipated first match in German football!
When Situ Yunbing walked into the West Stadium, he intuitively felt the frenetic atmosphere of the stadium. The yellow ocean in the stands was dazzling, and the flag of Dortmund was flying around the stands, like a one. The final battle is entering the countdown.
Klopp, with a beard, stood in the command area of ​​the home team coach in sportswear. He and Situ Yunbing wanted to look at each other. Both of them were calm and nodding their heads in a tacit understanding. After that, Situ Yunbing turned and walked. The visiting coach command area.
Perhaps the home atmosphere of the Bundesliga team is most able to bring pressure to the opponents Dortmund, like the horror atmosphere of St. Pauli's home stadium, it only appears for Hamburg, the emotional incitement and influencing factors are too great.
When the starters of the two teams walked into the court with their heads high and bravely, Situ Yunbing and Klopp coincidentally showed pride in their eyes.
For the world, there are five top leagues in European football, French Ligue, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Premier League.
But within Europe it can be said that there are only three major leagues, Serie A, Premier League, and La Liga.
The big reason why the Bundesliga is excluded is that in the layout of European football, the number of Champions League titles won by Bundesliga teams is not as good as the other three leagues.
After the phone scandal broke out in Serie A and entered a period of decline, although the Bundesliga has the momentum to overtake Serie A, due to the influence of the club's financial resources and policy environment, the Bundesliga still cannot escape the fate of being poached by the three major leagues.
Even fans know that when Bayern Munich declines, they will dig out rival stars from within the Bundesliga to achieve a resurgence in strength. This is Bayern Munich’s advantage, and it is not surprising that the German lineup is at least half. The team is from Bayern.
The Bundesliga team is relatively better than Ligue 1’s almost desperately unable to retain talent, but it is still the stage where young talents are more inclined to cultivate in the five major European leagues.
"Kickers" released a list just a week ago, which is the list of the most watched young players in the Bundesliga U23 players.
Among them, Bayern Munich, Hamburg and Dortmund have become the teams with the most players on the list, while Hamburg is at the top of the list, followed by Dortmund!
It can be said that most of the most talented and potential players in the new generation of Bundesliga are in Hamburg and Dortmund, so this match between the two teams, "kicker" uses a very freehand adjective to describe.
"Future battle!"
This is more sunny and positive than the battle between Situ Yunbing and Klopp.
"Have you heard the deafening cheers at West Stadium?
In the 12th round of the Bundesliga, the two teams with the same points tied for the top will start a Bundesliga peak match here!
The battle between Dortmund and Hamburg is definitely an extremely anticipated battle, because both teams have created a youth storm in the Bundesliga!
Just look at their starting roster today, you can even think about it. In three years at the earliest, and five years later, how many players will these two teams become regulars on the top stage of European football? How many players will be regulars in the selection of the European Football Team of the Year or even the World's Best Team every year?
Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams.
Dortmund started 4231 at home.
Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.
Defenders: Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer.
Midfielder: Gotze, Shaheen, Shinji Kagawa, Bender, Grosskleutz.
Forward: Barrios.
Dortmund also has Polish striker Lewandowski, midfielder Buvaszcowski and other players on the bench.
Hamburg started 433 in an away game today.
Goalkeeper: Navas.
Defenders: Westerman, Matteisen, Boateng, Matuidi.
Midfielder: De Mer, De Bruyne, Kanter.
Forwards: Aubameyang, Griezman, Royce.
The Hamburg bench has players such as Elia, Rincon, Ogo, Van Dijk, and Sun Xingmin.
I dare say that the match between the two teams will be very exciting. Some media in Germany worry that Situ Yunbing will make Hamburg play ugly in this game and use a defensive counterattack against Dortmund. But I think Dortmund will put enough pressure on Hamburg. It will not make the game dull! "
In fact, just looking at the starting players of the two teams, it is not difficult to understand Situ Yunbing’s judgment that Bayern Munich will be at a disadvantage in the three-team competition in the next two years. Dortmund and Hamburg will both be in a period of strong growth, and Bayern Munich, except for Lahm, Ribery, Robben, these backbones prop up the team outside the framework, they need to do too much work, it is difficult to solve all in a short time!
It is also not difficult to understand that Bayern Munich wants to quickly consolidate the position of the Bundesliga class tyrants, the simplest and most direct and rude way is to poach the pillars of competitors.
Now there are rumors that Bayern Munich is very interested in some young players in the Bundesliga. Gotze, Royce, Hummels, De Bruyne and Boateng are all names on their list of interest.
Situ Yunbing is unlikely to let his players go to Bayern Munich anyway, and that is entirely for himself.
This matchup that almost included 70% of the outstanding young players of the new generation of Bundesliga made him look forward to it!
As for Klopp, he seems to attach more importance to this duel than Situ Yunbing!
Klopp, who is tall, does sometimes feel unkempt, but he never loses his passion, and even gives people the feeling of emotional venting too hard.
Today, he looked like a sculptural stand, staring deeply at the stadium, his sight shifted, he saw the clear night sky of Wester, the bright moon in the sky, the stars twinkling, just like the highly anticipated one on the green field. Young people who can carry the future of European football.
In three months, Klopp will usher in a milestone in his personal coaching career: ten years.
In February 2001, he retired from Mainz and took up the pointer for the first time.
One stay in Mainz is seven years!
He led Mainz to relegation in the second Bundesliga, led Mainz to enter the Bundesliga for the first time, and then went through a coaching trajectory of relegation from the Bundesliga and failed relegation, like a parabola, starting from the second Bundesliga, reaching the peak in the Bundesliga, and then He fell into the second German second.
The "seven-year itch" made Klopp choose to resign, and then he came to Dortmund, which was in the most difficult period of the club's nearly 20 years.
In 2005, Dortmund broke out in a financial crisis. There were 125 million pounds of debt that could not be repaid. The club was on the verge of bankruptcy. The club was struggling for the next three years. In the early summer of 2008, Dortmund ranked 13th in the Bundesliga and ended the season with the worst league ranking in the past 20 years. .
But 2008 also became the first year of Dortmund's revival, and Klopp became the leader of Dortmund's revival.
After two years of growth and development, Dortmund has risen steadily, and finally today, Klopp's third year coaching Dortmund, although not halfway through the season, everyone can feel Dortmund's ambition for the championship. Dortmund distance champion is so near!
Perhaps Klopp only now has a high degree of attention and popularity, but his coaching career over the past ten years is an important basis for him to lead Dortmund's rise.
There are too many coaches starting from the low-level leagues, but they have been rooted in the low-level clubs, and their level has never been improved.
Compared with the obscurity and mediocrity of the player era, Klopp's dedication as a head coach is obviously to be respected.
Even Situ Yunbing was ashamed of this.
Some experience has been accumulated and fermented over time to become the coach's own hard power, and this happens to be what Situ Yunbing lacks.
Compared with Klopp’s step-by-step rise, Situ Yunbing only relied on his
vision
for the future to do his best to walk on the right path, but even so, he has to spare no effort to enrich himself. , But he knew in his heart that these experiences were still far worse than the old Jianghu!
If last season's Champions League final was not a danger, he could not beat Mourinho, it would be more like a fluke success.
Situ Yunbing has won eight championships in the past two years!
Two league champions, two French Cups, two French League Cups, one French Super Cup, and one Champions League champion!
Klopp coached for ten years, zero championship!
But destiny arranged for them to meet today and become a confidant for each other!
Klopp's gaze returned to the court, he did not look at Situ Yunbing again, his expression was serious with a certain degree of determination that no one could shake.
There are many strong teams in this era, and masters are like forests.
There is always only one champion!
In the first decade of the 21st century, Mourinho, Guardiola, and Situ Yun have risen like comets!
Jurgen Klopp is only running hard.
In the second decade of the 21st century, Jurgen Klopp is going to win the battle!
Ten years of sharpening a sword.
Out of the sheath!
