Ball king grower

About Lin Yu's bet with several teammates, somehow it reached Klopp's ears.

Lin Yu originally thought that Klopp would be furious about this. Even if he was not, he would warn Lin Yu not to be proud and to be down-to-earth and take his time.

But what surprised him was that Klopp had no intention of attacking him at all. Instead, he found him, smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "No one's name is written on the Champions League golden boot. Everyone is qualified to win it! Maybe the golden boot is not written on anyone's name."

The football award still needs to be judged, and it may be unconvincing, but the Golden Boot is not. If you score a few goals, it is an ironclad fact, and no one can change it. This team of mine is going to win the championship.

If you work hard, as one of the main attackers of this team, it is not impossible to win the Golden Boot."

"Coach, do you really believe in me?"

"It's not that I believe in you, it's your performance that impressed me. No player can perform as well as you when he first entered the professional league. You gave me hope that Dortmund will win the championship. We must reproduce the glory of the year.

Increase Dortmund's Champions League trophies to two!" Klopp said with a smile.

"Don't worry, coach, no matter what, I will work hard. Even if I really can't win the Golden Boot, as long as I can send the team to the throne of the king, I will be willing to do so." Lin Yu squeezed his fists and said.

"Haha, with your words, I feel relieved. Did you have a good holiday?"

"Not bad." Lin Yu didn't want to mention the past things again. He didn't want to bring the troubles he encountered at home to Germany because he thought they were boring.

"It's good. It seems that your body is more well-proportioned than a month ago. Did you hire a fitness expert?" Klopp looked at Lin Yu and found that Lin Yu was not as strong as a month ago, but he was

I look more energetic than a month ago, and it seems that every muscle is where it should be without becoming a burden.

What a technical player fears most is that his body is too strong and has too many muscles. This will cause the body to be tight and not flexible enough. Cristiano Ronaldo is the most typical example. When he was at Manchester United, he

It was easy to beat people and play tricks, but then my body gradually became stronger, and my ball skills certainly did not decline. However, due to the decrease in flexibility, many things that were originally easy to do became difficult.

Lin Yu didn't mean to look down on the strong men on the court. He can take advantage of a lot if he is in good health, but he is a technical player who does not rely on his body, so he can be considered to have his own strengths. Therefore, when he exercises, he

He exercises according to Xiao Shuidi's strictly calculated method, which allows him to ensure that his flexibility is improved without reducing his physical resistance.

"Well, that's right. I studied my game videos and found many mistakes that I shouldn't have made, so I asked a fitness coach to develop a training method that is more suitable for technical players." Lin Yu nodded.

"You are indeed a very independent child. Good job. You are aware of your shortcomings and see your strengths. You can use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. This is the best thing to do."

Lin Yu scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Coach, what you said makes me feel embarrassed."

"Hahaha, I won't disturb you anymore, let's go train."

Watching Lin Yu leave, Klopp also started to work on his own. He first had to summarize the games in the first half of the season, and then work out the tactics for the second half of the season, as well as what personnel changes there would be.

change.

Speaking of personnel changes, Shaheen, who was sold as the MVP last season, is back, but now Shaheen can no longer play the main role. Gundogan's growth, Kyle's stable performance, and the rise of Swende,

This makes Dortmund's defensive midfielder position full of talents. Even if Shaheen comes back, he can only be a substitute. Fortunately, Dortmund is now fighting on three lines, and every line is very important, so he doesn't have to worry about not playing.

Blaszczykovsky's situation is similar to that of Shaheen. After his position was replaced by Lin Yu, he could only be between the rotation and the main force. The key is that Lin Yu almost never gets injured.

He won't look tired. Even if Blaszczykovsky is replaced, he is replacing people like Reus, Gotze, and even Schmelzer.

After all, Royce and Gotze are not Lin Yu. Without Lin Yu's terrifying physical strength, they must be rotated. In this way, Blaszczykovsky's game has not actually been reduced.

Therefore, in the second half of the season, there will basically be no major changes to the team's starting lineup. Occasionally, there may be some rotation or fine-tuning, but overall it will be the same as the first half of the season.

Lin Yu's outstanding performance allowed him to firmly hold the position of right winger. In fact, he was originally best at left winger. After all, he is a right-footed player. It would be inconvenient to cut in and shoot from the right. Now he can

This performance is also due to the frequent changes of positions on the court by the Dortmund players.

But this can't always be like this. Lin Yu feels that he still has to find a player who is good at left footing to simulate it. If he can be good at both feet, he will be much more advantageous on the court, whether it is the left or the right.

Being able to shoot makes it difficult for the opponent to judge when defending.

Of course, this is Lin Yu's business. Klopp is more concerned about how Lin Yu can maximize his energy in this team.

In the first half of the season, the tactics he formulated actually regarded Lin Yu as a auxiliary player. His main responsibility was to push the ball into the frontcourt and then help Lewandowski score goals in front of him. However, Lin Yu's strong shooting*

* and goals** made Lin Yu seem to have become a forward, but Lewandowski became a complete bridgehead, playing a supporting role.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of playing style, and it seems to have good results. Not only Lin Yu can score goals, but Lewandowski can also score goals. The two often reciprocate on the court, and they cooperate very well. There is no need at all.

Any sign of awkwardness.

So Klopp, who returned from vacation, simply re-formulated the tactics and completely positioned Lin Yu as the core of the frontcourt's offense, enjoying unlimited firing rights without any scruples and shooting whenever he had the chance.

In addition, there is one thing that he is very satisfied with Lin Yu, and that is Lin Yu's active fighting in the frontcourt.

After all, the core of Dortmund's tactics is to press forward, leaving the opponent with no chance to breathe. Klopp once worried that Lin Yu's physical strength would be unbearable, and asked Lin Yu to only press in the frontcourt, and there was no need to return to defense.

Save energy to attack.

But Lin Yu often forgets this during the game. As long as he sees the ball, he is like a pervert who sees a beautiful woman. His eyes glow green. Coupled with his strong tackling ability,

During the training match, the offensive players were so uncomfortable that they didn't even dare to approach him with the ball.

Once again, Lin Yu directly chased back from the opponent's penalty area until his own penalty area. Finally, he intercepted the ball from the opponent's offensive player and directly launched a fast break.

The offensive players at the time had the urge to cry, "Are you a forward or a defender, crazy guy!"
