Can they win Cottbus vs. Dortmund?
This is not only a question for Sumad, but also a question for many football media.
As a team that has also won three consecutive victories at the beginning of the Bundesliga, Cottbus's home game against Dortmund has attracted great attention.
"Kicker" analyzed the recent situation in Cottbus.
“Club Cottbus has become one of the focuses of the Bundesliga this season, with a Chinese head coach who is less than 30 years old, the joining of two world-class talents, the cooperation of Chinese sponsors, and three consecutive wins in the league. Achievements, all these have made Cottbus famous for a while. But for them, the real test begins now."
"From the fourth to the sixth round of the league, Cottbus's opponents were Dortmund, Stuttgart and Wolfsburg. These three teams are all the top teams in the Bundesliga. If Cottbus can win in these three If they score points against every opponent, then they can truly be considered the dark horses of the Bundesliga this season. Otherwise, they are just a lucky team in the new season, and their three consecutive wins at the beginning are not enough to support them in continuing to receive praise."
Compared with the objective evaluation of "Kicker", "Football News" is extremely unfavorable about Cottbus' future.
In fact, "Football News" has been extremely contemptuous of Yun Sheng since he took office. As a proud German nation, he is very disdainful of Yun Sheng, a young man from China. Although he proved his strength in three league games and one cup match, in the eyes of "Football News", Yunsheng is still far behind.
"Yunsheng's good luck has come to an end! In the first game of the league, they met the down-and-out giant Bayer Leverkusen, who was in poor form. Then they met the underdogs Bochum and Nuremberg, as well as fourth-level league opponents in the cup. Cottbus has been very lucky this year. However, there is an old saying in Europe, 'One person cannot always find gold.' This sentence means that luck cannot belong to just one person. Cottbus' next opponent Dortmund will put an end to Yunsheng's team, and I dare to predict that this will definitely be a big-scoring game!"
"Football News" was very rude, but it was still within the scope of football, while "German Entertainment and Sports News" analyzed the situation of Cottbus from an entertainment perspective and expressed various negative opinions.
Because of the conflict at the press conference, Flory, the reporter of "German Entertainment and Sports News", completely became enemies with Yun Sheng. He personally wrote an article criticizing Yunsheng and Cottbus.
"Even if the matter of going to the hotel is not confirmed, then it is always irrefutable that Adriano and Cassano went out to the bar late at night, right? According to the starting list announced in advance before the game, these two guys are actually members of the team Starter! How does Yunsheng manage the team and still use such inferior players? I am sure that Dortmund will win a big victory in this game and completely knock Cottbus back to the relegation zone!"
The outside world was abuzz, and the atmosphere within the Cottbus team was also a bit uneasy.
Facing Dortmund, many Cottbus players were a little timid.
Although their opponents were in poor form last season and only ranked ninth in the league, Dortmund's remaining power is still there. The glorious history they have created is something that no one dares to underestimate.
Especially since the beginning of this season, under the leadership of head coach Thomas Dole, they have launched a new offensive wave, scoring nine goals and conceding no goals in the first three games!
Facing the resurgent Hornets, many Cottbus players lacked confidence in this game.
During the warm-up before the game, Yun Sheng had already discovered this situation.
Many players have lost their usual relaxation, and now have serious and nervous expressions on their faces, which makes Yun Sheng a little worried.
Fortunately, most of those players who lack confidence have played in Germany for many years and are quite familiar with Dortmund.
However, the new summer players were in good condition and did not show any fear.
This made Yun Sheng feel good.
After the players returned to the locker room, Yun Sheng encouraged everyone.
"Guys, there is nothing scary about Dortmund. They were only ninth in the league last season. Although they have won three consecutive Bundesliga games this season, we have also won three games in a row. We are evenly matched with them in terms of strength. No less than them! Come on guys, this game is at our home court, you will definitely win! I believe in you!"
Cassano, who usually doesn't talk much, suddenly responded today: "Dortmund is nothing. When I was in Rome, I met them in the European war, and they were nothing great."
Adriano next to him also followed up: "I also beat Dortmund when I was at Inter Milan. Their strength is average."
Sauer, who was sitting in the middle, also nodded: "Yes, when I was at Bayern in the past few years, I beat Dortmund every once in a while."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After listening to the words of the three people, everyone burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.
Yun Sheng was very satisfied: "Guys, you heard what they said. Our current strength is definitely not inferior to Dortmund. As long as you can perform to the level in training, there will be no problem defeating them!"
A few minutes later, watching the players run out of the locker room, Sumad suddenly said: "Adriano and Cassano have changed a lot in the past two days. Not only are they in excellent training condition, but they are also much more cheerful."
Yun Sheng smiled: "Only if you love life can you love football. The two of them have changed from the inside out. I'm sure they will both perform well in this game. Let's go to the coaching bench and wait. Look at their goals!”
Footsteps sounded in the players' tunnel, and young Yun Sheng strode towards the court with firm steps.
"Dear viewers, hello everyone, welcome to German Sports TV. I am the host Schroeder, and sitting next to me is today's guest commentator Hesl."
"Hello everyone, I'm Hesl. I'm glad to meet you all on the weekend to watch the Bundesliga game."
"Today we are broadcasting a game in the fourth round of the Bundesliga. Cottbus plays against Borussia Dortmund at home. Both teams have three consecutive victories and will meet in the fourth round. I believe that today will be a great match. It’s going to be a close, exciting game.”
Hearing what Schroeder said, Hessle shook his head: "I don't agree with your point of view. After seeing the starting lineups of the two teams, I am very sure that this game will be exciting, but it will definitely not be evenly matched. ! I bet Cottbus will encounter a massacre today!"
