Super Marshal

On the evening of July 23rd, Dortmund West** Stadium.

Gao Han was somewhat surprised to see Jurgen Klopp again so soon, but he was more happy.

He still clearly remembers that in the German Cup last season, Mainz coached by Klopp caused trouble to his Bayern Munich. But this time he went a step further and coached a traditional Bundesliga powerhouse, a big team. Wasps Dortmund.

The German Super Cup match is held at Dortmund's home stadium.

"I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." Gao Han said with a smile.

Klopp also smiled and shook hands with Gao Han, "I feel very honored to have the opportunity to compete with you again."

But after being polite, this guy who was praised by Gao Han as a fiery boxer immediately showed his true nature.

"I still remember the last game. The lessons were profound. This game will not be so easy."

"Really?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

Klopp seemed confident, "There is no doubt that our strength is not as good as Bayern Munich, but we can rely on a strong team, and this is our home court. If you want to win, it is not that easy."

"It seems that you are well prepared." Gao Han was still smiling.

Klopp raised his head proudly, "That's natural."

Although Dortmund has played several warm-up matches before, the results were relatively average, which also allowed Klopp to withstand a certain amount of pressure.

In this match against Bayern Munich, he should show some performance to convince the fans.

In terms of overall strength, Dortmund is simply not as good as Bayern Munich.

Among the Hornets who can leave a certain impression on Gao Han, one is goalkeeper Weidenfeller, the other is Subotic, a veteran Klopp brought from Mainz this season, left back Dede, and midfielder Ke you.

As for the others, Gao Han thought it was average.

Of course, based on the Bundesliga, this is definitely no problem, but to challenge Bayern Munich...

You are not qualified!

At the beginning of the game, Dortmund took advantage of their home court to launch a frenzy of attacks against Bayern Munich.

Klopp must have come prepared. He knows very well that giving up the initiative to Bayern Munich, which is playing hard, would be tantamount to slow suicide, so he must attack and try to disrupt Bayern Munich from the beginning. rhythm.

In the fifth minute of the game, Dortmund got a chance to shoot, but forward Petric's shot was blocked by Lucio and failed to create a threat.

Compared with Dortmund who actively press forward and attack, Bayern Munich appears to be more patient, mainly focusing on passing and controlling. However, due to the running and impact of the Hornet players at all costs, the passing and controlling effect is not very satisfactory, and the scene looks a bit passive. .

But Gao Han was not anxious at all.

The players on the field were also not impatient. In the seventeenth minute, when Hummels fouled his opponent while defending outside the penalty area, he was reprimanded by Gao Han for being too impatient.

Fortunately, Dortmund's free kick did not pose a threat.

But with the help of free kicks, Dortmund once again launched a wave of offensive. In the 22nd minute, the 23rd minute, and the 25th minute, they got three consecutive shot opportunities, but three shots and one shot It missed the target and hit Neuer's arms twice.

This is not because Neuer performed well, but because Bayern Munich's defense restricted it very well. Even if Dortmund's players had a chance to hit the goal, the angle was restricted to a very small distance. As long as Neuer got stuck, Stay in position to get the ball.

But the scene that unfolded on the court was very exciting for the entire West Coast fans who were seeking compensation.

It was also at this moment that Gao Han truly felt the terror of the most famous devil's home stadium in Europe.

But when three consecutive shots came back in vain, Gao Han realized that Dortmund was starting to retreat.

"What's wrong? No energy?"

Gao Han turned his head and looked at Klopp with a smile, but the latter just glanced at Gao Han and continued to keep an eye on the court, obviously feeling very helpless.

Nearly half an hour after the opening, Bayern Munich did not have a shot, but Dortmund had the advantage, but failed to create a threat. Now it has no choice but to retreat.

"Then it's our turn!"

Gao Han walked to the sidelines and waved his hand. Bayern Munich swarmed up and down. At the same time, in the coaching system, skill cards poured out, looking like they could eat up Dortmund in one bite.

In fact, the game went surprisingly well.

In the 29th minute, Hummels made a long pass. Dortmund's two central defenders did not understand each other well and made a mistake in judgment. Subotic made a temporary substitute and jumped into the top. Aguero got the ball and went directly into the penalty area. He was far away from the goal. Scored a goal with a push shot from fifteen meters.

This was Bayern Munich's first shot of the game, and it directly led to a goal.

Klopp was jumping up and down watching from the sidelines. He simply couldn't tolerate such mistakes by his team.

The first shot was broken. What kind of defense is this?

But before Klopp's anger subsided, Bayern Munich launched another offensive.

In the 33rd minute, after Ribery got the ball from the left, he suddenly stopped and cut in, attracting the defensive attention and then passed low to the right side of the penalty area. Robben stepped in from the back row and hit a curve ball with his left foot. Directly into the upper right corner of the goal, two to zero!

After that, Bayern Munich continued to maintain its advantage on the field and launched wave after wave of attacks against Dortmund.

Since the German Super Cup is a warm-up match, there is no strict restriction on substitutions. Therefore, Gao Han replaced five players at halftime, but in the second half, he still firmly controlled the situation on the field. Dortmund was energetic. Everything was lost and we had to strengthen our defense.

Until the 73rd minute, substitute Thomas Muller made a pass, and substitute Klose hit a header in front of the goal, helping Bayern Munich rewrite the score to 3-0.

In the end, the score was maintained until the end.

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

After the game, Gao Han shook hands with Klopp again and asked with a smile.

Klopp was not in a good mood after losing the game. Coupled with his tall stature and stubble on his face, he felt like an angered lion. But after listening to Gao Han's words, he hesitated and finally decided nodded.

"you say."

"Your style of play is very aggressive, but it is too brave and consumes a lot of players. This is obviously not conducive to continued fighting. Therefore, I don't think you can achieve success in the league with this style of play. Good grades, and it’s going to be dangerous.”

Losing to Gao Han's Bayern Munich 0-3, Klopp really couldn't accept it this time. And how could he not know what Gao Han said?

"Perhaps, you should try to introduce an organizational player in your midfield, control the rhythm appropriately, and sort out the passes in the midfield." When he said this, Gao Han smiled meaningfully.

"Sometimes, we retract our fists to make them more powerful when punched out."

Klopp's eyes lit up, not because of his advice to Gao Han, but because of his last words.

Based on this game, he could see that Gao Han deliberately retreated at the beginning in order to let Dortmund attack.

If the Bundesliga giants attack Dortmund in the opening game, the Hornets may not be able to withstand Bayern Munich's offensive power, but at that time Bayern Munich will also cause trouble with Dortmund.

Therefore, Gao Han uses retreat to advance and relies on strategy to win.

This is why he said that if you retract your fist and hit it again, it will be more powerful.

Although this truth is not difficult to understand, Klopp knows that without Gao Han's awakening, he may have to suffer more losses and go through more unnecessary journeys to figure it out, but now...

"Although I'm still not convinced, I still want to thank you." Klopp stretched out his hand again.

Gao Han smiled, it was just a piece of cake for him, but he really appreciated Klopp's style.

"Then let's keep walking and see."

"good."

After shaking hands hard, the two went back with smiles on their faces.

A 3-0 victory over Dortmund gave Bayern Munich their first championship trophy of the new season.

Although the German Super Cup does not have much weight, it is undoubtedly a great encouragement for the Bundesliga giants who are about to start the new season, and it also stimulates German fans.

After this game, the three major European bookmakers all issued odds for the Bundesliga in the new season. Bayern Munich deservedly ranked first and was called the number one favorite to win the championship. This is not surprising.

What’s really surprising is the gap.

Bayern Munich's odds are ten times that of second-placed Werder Bremen. This is definitely a despairing gap, and it also makes European fans praise the Bundesliga as the Bundesliga before the season has even started. The league with the least suspense of the season.

There is no doubt that the cold Bayern Munich will win the championship again.

But compared with winning the championship without suspense, the relegation battle is in full swing and very cruel.

Among the 18 Bundesliga teams, Bielefeld, Cottbus, Bochum, Karlsruhe and Cologne are all popular teams for relegation, and the competition is fierce.

After defeating Dortmund, Bayern Munich returned to the Sebena training base to continue training preparations for the new season.

Gao Han led the coaching staff to summarize the situation in the past few warm-up matches and the game against Dortmund, and made targeted adjustments and improvements to some of the problems exposed by the team.

On the first day of August, Gao Han took the team to the Allianz Arena and held the first public training of the new season here, allowing all Bayern Munich fans to come and watch.

At the same time, the club also held a new season jersey launch on this day.

Bayern Munich's jersey this season is specially customized by Adidas for the Bundesliga giant. It adopts a retro style. The home jersey is white with red stripes on the shoulders, while the away game is dark blue. This also has a meaning.

This season's UEFA Champions League final will be held in May 2009 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Italy. This is the place where the German national team won the World Cup in 1990. At that time, Bayern Munich had many famous players. In this world championship team, including Kohler, Klinsmann and Matthaus.

Although they were not playing for Bayern Munich at the time.

This season's Bayern Munich jerseys are based on the Bayern Munich jersey style in 1990. This also represents the club and sponsors' hopes for Bayern Munich. They all hope that this jersey can bring good luck and the club can win in the new year. There was a breakthrough in the Champions League this season.

"Every one of us knows that this is a difficult task and this is everyone's dream, but we believe from the beginning to the end that the team can realize this dream because we have gathered a group of outstanding players, and more importantly The great thing is, we have a great and amazing head coach."

"I believe that there is nothing in this world that Gao Han cannot do!"

Through Beckenbauer's words, Bayern Munich is not only showing its new season jerseys, but also showing its ambitions for the new season.
