Next to the visiting team's coaching bench, the Dortmund coaching staff hugged each other excitedly to celebrate the team's first goal. Their faces were filled with pride.
But among the celebrating crowd, their head coach Thomas Dole was missing. He didn't celebrate with the coaching staff. He just clapped and continued to sit in his chair, waiting for the game to restart.
In his mind, if he scores a goal against a team like Cottbus, does he still need to cheer so much?
He glanced sideways at Yun Sheng, who was not far away, his eyes filled with disdain.
Chinese boy, do you know football? In this game, I will let you see what the real Bundesliga is!
At this time, Yun Sheng was looking at Dole. As the two looked at each other, Yun Sheng understood Dole's eyes.
When they met on the sidelines before the game, Dole only touched Yun Sheng's fingers and did not shake hands at all. The look in his eyes then was the same as now.
If it were Yun Sheng who was in his twenties, he would definitely be very angry. But as a middle-aged man in his forties, Yun Sheng is much calmer.
This arrogant coach of Dortmund does have his own merits.
Dole's coaching career started with the Hamburg youth team. In October 2004, he was appointed as the head coach of Hamburg's first team at a critical moment, sitting on the Bundesliga coaching bench for the first time.
Hamburg was ranked last in the standings when Doer took over. By the end of the season, Hamburg had entered the top half of the standings, ranking eighth.
In the next two years, Dole built Hamburg into a strong team capable of competing for European spots. In the 2005-2006 season, they entered the UEFA Cup through the Intertoto Cup. That year, they finished third in the league and won the Champions League. qualifications. Dole was also elected as the Bundesliga Coach of the Year, and he became famous for a while.
In March 2007, Dole left Hamburg and joined Dortmund. At that time, Dortmund was already deep in the relegation zone. He eventually led the team to successfully avoid relegation.
And this season, he bought 7 players in one go during the summer transfer period, preparing to make a big splash in the new season.
The opening three consecutive victories have allowed Dole's Dortmund to gradually get back on track.
Therefore, when facing Yunsheng and Cottbus, Dole did not look down on them at all.
Dole disdains to face Yun Sheng, but Yun Sheng understands Dole very well.
Dole attached great importance to defense during his time in Hamburg. His Hamburg was one of the teams that conceded the fewest goals in the Bundesliga and trained strong central defenders such as Van Buyten and Bollarus. At the same time, Dole emphasized the team's fighting spirit and tough playing style.
Therefore, in this game, Yun Sheng asked the players to reduce physical contact, try to take advantage of the opponent's defensive players' slow turn, and play more ground passes to create opportunities.
Although they were behind in the score at this time, Cassano's two goals in the opening period proved that Yunsheng's tactics were absolutely correct.
The goal just now is not entirely to blame on the Cottbus players. After all, Sauer's departure caused temporary chaos in Cottbus's midfield and backcourt, and the defense line with one less player appeared to have loopholes.
After Shaheen came on the court, the team's situation quickly stabilized.
Although Shaheen is not as experienced as Sauer, Shaheen has good skills and strong explosive power. He pressed forward and assisted many times in the midfield, causing great trouble for Dortmund's defense.
The most active person in this game is Cassano, the Barry kid.
Since the opening shot hit the goal post, he has been wandering around Dortmund's penalty area, making sudden passes forward many times, making Dortmund's tall defender very uncomfortable.
Today, Dortmund's two central defenders are Amedik and Brzenska. One is 1.94 meters and the other is 1.96 meters. They are both tall defenders with strong bodies, but their flexibility is far different.
Seeing the two people turning around awkwardly, Cassano was amused.
As you are, you are doomed in this match!
In the 21st minute of the game, Cottbus got an excellent opportunity.
Shaheen made a very subtle pass, bypassing several Dortmund midfielders, and the ball landed accurately at the feet of Cassano.
Cassano continued to make fake moves and sprinted into the penalty area!
Amedik quickly stepped forward to block it, and Brzenska also protected behind him.
Cassano actually had a chance to go in, but with a glance from the corner of his eye, he suddenly discovered a good opportunity!
"Shahin's pass was very accurate and found Cassano! Can Cassano break through the defense and get a shooting opportunity this time?"
"He pulled the ball on the spot and was about to pass, but suddenly he passed the ball! The ball flew backwards!"
"Amedik and Brzenska's attention was focused on Cassano, and they missed someone in the back!"
"A figure quickly rushed into the penalty area. It was Adriano! He volleyed with his left foot and the ball went in!!!"
"This time it's a perfect collaboration between the two forwards! Cassano's attractive defense, Adriano's quick shot, the two of them cooperated perfectly!"
"1-1! Cottbus equalized the score ten minutes after losing the ball!"
At this time, all the home team fans gave a huge cheer!
Their team lived up to expectations and finally equalized the score!
The Brazilian genius finally broke his goal drought in three consecutive games!
Yun Sheng on the sidelines waved his fists repeatedly, excited!
This goal is so crucial!
In the unfavorable situation of falling behind at home, they quickly equalized the score. This was a great moral boost for the team!
The next game will be better!
Yun Sheng guessed right. After the team equalized the score, Dortmund's attack became more intense.
Different from the opponent's playing style, Dortmund relies more on physical collision, while Cottbus pays more attention to coordination and passing.
Yun Sheng thought of an old Chinese saying: One force can defeat ten things, and one skill can break a thousand pounds.
No matter how strong you are, what can you do if we don't have too much contact with you?
In the following period, Cottbus's passing speed became faster and faster. They took advantage of the gaps in the opponent's defense and created many scoring opportunities.
Facing Cottbus, Dortmund was like an elephant trying to trample a mouse, but had nowhere to go.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Cottbus' goal came again.
This time it was a collaboration between Cassano and Adriano.
"Cassano was preparing to take a shot in the penalty area! He suddenly dunked back! Two defensive players were taken away by him again!"
"Cassano made a light inverted triangle pass, and Adriano shot the ball non-stop from the top of the penalty area! The ball went in!!!"
"This shot was so powerful and heavy that Dortmund goalkeeper Nikolov was stunned! He stood still and didn't make any move!"
"Adriano scored twice! He helped the team score two goals!"
"2 to 1! Cottbus is ahead!"
