Chapter 49 Youth Storm
Lin Tian used the club's vacation time to rest at home for a while, and then visited relatives and friends, and did everything he wanted to do during this time.Lin Tian also practiced during this period, practicing twice a week, and occasionally meeting old classmates in China to play football in the surrounding field. If he could avoid fans, he would avoid them.

Dortmund still has a German Super Cup to play before the new season, so the club's holiday date is also set at two weeks before this game.

From a theoretical point of view, a German team can win up to three domestic championships, namely the Super Cup, Bundesliga and German Cup; and up to three intercontinental championships, namely the European Super Cup, Club World Cup and Champions League.

The Super Cup before the start of the Bundesliga and the German Cup is the first championship on the season schedule.This is also the first game that Dortmund, who was the Bundesliga champion last season, needs to welcome in the new season.

According to the schedule, this year's Super Cup will be held on July 7. Dortmund will play away against last season's German Cup champion Schalke 24.As for why the league champions are allowed to play away games, it is because the practice in recent years is that the league champions play away games, and the cup champions (or league runners-up) play at home.

Lin Tian bid farewell to his parents and set off for Dortmund on July 7th. He asked Carrig to help him find a house next to the base in Dortmund. At the same time, he also asked him to hire a cleaner to take care of the house in Berlin every once in a while. Lin Tian did not intend to sell it.

……

In this summer, the Hornets' checks have also come in and out.In terms of transfers, Shaheen moved to Real Madrid for 1000 million euros, Howinauer was bought out by Stuttgart for 100 million euros after the loan period expired, Feulner moved to Nuremberg for 15 euros, and Mustafa Amini moved to Central Coast Mariners for 10 euros.In addition, Daniel Ginchek, Zobich and Langelof were loaned to Bochum, St. Pauli and Cottbus respectively, and Dede was transferred to Eski City on a free transfer.

In terms of signings, Gundogan was brought from Nuremberg for 550 million euros, Perisic was bought in Bruce for 500 million euros, then Lin Tian was 100 million euros and Chris Lewet was 20 euros.In addition, Julian Koch and Leitner, who returned from the loan period, and Bakalotz, who was promoted from the second team.

After announcing that there will be no further changes in the club's transfer window this season, the authoritative German media "Kicker" also gave Dortmund a preview of next season. They believe that Klopp will blow a youthful storm in the new season.

In the new season lineup of the Hornets predicted by "Kicker", except for the 31-year-old goalkeeper Weidenfeller and the 31-year-old captain Kyle, the other nine starting players are all players under the age of 26.

In the goalkeeper position, the 31-year-old Weidenfeller reacts quickly in front of the goal and has excellent one-on-one ability. With his height, he will intercept the opponent's cross in the penalty area. At the same time, his rich experience makes him stand out in terms of defensive command among other excellent goalkeepers.The tall stature makes Weidenfeller's flexibility and speed slightly insufficient, especially in the grasp of the attack.

As a left back, the 23-year-old Schmelzer is an engineer player. Although he does not have a strong one-on-one ability and his crossing ability is relatively average, his role is not these.

The central defender, Hulmes, who is only 22 years old, has been regarded by the German media as the No.1 central defender in the entire Bundesliga for some time to come.On the defensive end, the former Bayern player is not only smart in position selection and fierce in interception, he can also kill halfway and act as a temporary midfielder or even an attacker when the team needs it.Hummels has outstanding defensive positioning awareness and frontal defensive ability. In addition, his own dribbling forward and precise long passes are also important tactics for the team to switch from defense to offense.Also in the set-piece attack, his high point and header are also magic weapons to defeat the enemy. Hummels, who is 192 cm tall, has the standard body of a central defender, which allows him to always occupy a place in the penalty area against intense confrontation and grab space for his own defense.The disadvantage is that there are occasional impatience and rashness in the defense process, and of course there is a common disadvantage of every tall central defender, that is, turning slowly.

As Hummels' partner, Subotic, who is also a central defender, is only 22 years old.Compared with Hummels' offense, Subotic is more inclined to defend. In the season when he helped the team win the championship, he and his partner Hummels also became the best central defender partner of the season.When his central defender partner is fighting for a header, he will support and defend around him, "wiping his ass" for his teammates' forward penetration.Subotic's ability to read the game, accurate position selection and outstanding ability to dominate the air are all key factors to ensure Dortmund's top spot in the league.He is characterized by strong air control ability, quick kicks, strong one-on-one defensive ability, relatively accurate positioning, good awareness, certain leadership ability, strong header ability, and often staged headers.As for the shortcomings, it is also a common problem of central defenders.

Right back, the 26-year-old Piszczek is impeccable except for his crosses. His feet are brisk and he can accelerate twice when sticking.The offensive end can not only go straight up and down, but also receive the midline ribs as a transition point.

On the back, 31-year-old Kyle partnered with 22-year-old Bender.Kyle switched to Dortmund in 2001 and is the team's field captain and spiritual pillar.Positive and fierce in steals, elegant in ball handling, he has a clear mind and clear thinking, full of energy in the game, running constantly, and very aggressive in defense.His rich game experience allows him to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga and is extremely important in the Dortmund team. Kyle and Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller are the only two players in the team's starting lineup who are over 2 years old, but Kyle's position is quite important. Kyle in the defensive midfielder position is the team's metronome.On the defensive end, his active shoveling and blocking allowed Klopp's high-position defensive tactics to be implemented smoothly.On the offensive end, Kyle's overall view and running ability made Dortmund play more methodically.

And the 22-year-old Bender is already Dortmund's main defensive midfielder. He is full of energy on the court and has a tough style of play. He has built a wall for Dortmund's defense, and his opponents are very fearful. Because of his tough style of play, he often splatters blood on the field. This kind of fighting spirit on the field often inspires his teammates, which can be said to be a rare treasure for Dortmund.

In the midfield, the 19-year-old Gotze and the 22-year-old Shinji Kagawa will still become the main force of the Hornets in the new season, and then there will be the club's replacement for Shaheen, the 20-year-old Gundogan.Mario Gotze has excellent skills and dribbling ability, and is widely praised as an organizational midfielder genius, a bright pearl of Germany's future, also known by fans as "Super Mario". He is fast, extremely creative and possesses excellent skills. As the team's organizer, Mario Gotze has good vision and passing ability.Ingenious style, exquisite workmanship, flexible interspersed, good dribbling.Good explosive power, light footsteps, very fast.

Shinji Kagawa has excellent man-ball combination ability, Europe's first-class organizational passing skills, and even better scoring ability. He is a modern offensive midfielder.His specialty is not to follow the routine of "ball control-observation-fatal delivery", but to simplify complex offensive problems through precise passing, breakthrough and running without a lot of ball control at his feet.In other words, it is to look for opportunities in constant movement and coordination, especially in the process of transitioning from defense to offense, using the most reasonable and efficient way to lead the offense.This kind of football style based on solid basic skills made Kagawa play in Dortmund with ease.Dortmund's players not only have the body, technology and speed, but also pay attention to the fast-paced passing and small cooperation. It is in this environment that Shinji Kagawa grew into the best midfielder in the Bundesliga last season and completed the most gorgeous performance.However, the shortcomings are also obvious. The bodies of Asian players have always been the most disadvantaged link.

Gundogan has the requisite calm, a keen eye and the mind to read the game.Gundogan has a lot of room for improvement in long passing. At the same time, his interception is also very sharp. He knows when physical confrontation is needed. His body is not very strong and he is easy to get injured.Can appear in multiple positions in the midfield. The team's offense relies heavily on Gundogan's excellent forward awareness and precise mid-to-long-distance passing. His long-range shot is an indispensable scoring method for the team.He is good at passing and his style is very offensive. After stealing the ball, Gundogan can often use his skilled skills and ball handling ability to get rid of the opponent's on-the-spot siege, and quickly realize the offensive and defensive transition by dribbling or transferring.

On the offensive end, Lewandowski and Barrios are 23 years old and 26 years old.Lewandowski not only has a strong ability to protect the ball, but also his organization and dribbling ability. He can shoot from any position on the field.Not only is he extremely fast, but he is also very good at fighting for headers.The Polish striker combines speed, technique, dexterity, strength, jumping and other qualities required by a striker, and can be called the template of a modern striker.

Barrios has good speed and physical confrontation, has an excellent sense of smell in front of the goal, and has an excellent sense of grabbing points.Last season, he scored 41 goals in 21 appearances in all competitions. Under the leadership of Klopp, Barrios returned to the Bundesliga championship with Dortmund after 9 years.

This is the youth storm of Dortmund's new season!
The Hornets are aiming to defend their title!
