() Time passes quickly.

Especially for a rebuilding team like Dortmund, time flies even faster.

It's already mid-October.

October 18, 2008.

The eighth round of the Bundesliga is about to begin.

Dortmund faces Hannover 96 at home.

Hannover 96 has average strength, although there have been dark horse tours in history. Especially in the German Cup, they have beaten all the powerful players to win the German Cup. At that time, Hannover 96 was just a team in the German second division.

It is the first German second division team in the history of German football to win the German Cup.

However, although there have been such glorious moments, to be honest, the history of Hannover 96, or Hannover 96, does not have a history that can be said.

..

It has no status at all in German football.

Of course, one of Dortmund's players now has a deep relationship with Hannover 96.

Dortmund's captain Kyle is a youth player of Hannover 96.

It was in Hannover 96 that Kyle began to become famous.

But for such a little-known club in German football, their stadium is very large and luxurious.

awd athletics stadium.

It was one of the 2006 World Cup stadiums in Germany and was called the "Hannover World Cup Stadium" at the time.

The course is very beautiful.

And it is a large stadium that can accommodate 49,000 people.

There are very few stadiums in England with a capacity of 49,000. This stadium in Hannover ranks among the top five in England, which is better than Wembley Stadium, Old Trafford Stadium, Highbury Stadium, and St. James' Park Stadium.

A little smaller.

The capacity is about the same as Sunderland's Stadium of Light.

The capacity of German stadiums is generally this large. Just like last season's statistics, the Bundesliga attendance rate was 89.9%, but the average number of people on site was about 43,000.

In England, the attendance rate is 92%, but the average attendance is 34,000.

You can know the gap between the stadium capacity in Germany and the stadium capacity in England.

The average capacity of Bundesliga stadiums is 47,000.

Hannover 96 had good results last season.

Won eighth place in the Bundesliga.

After the start of this season, they had an amazing 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich at home. But overall, their results were far inferior to last season.

Because beating Bayern is an upset.

Apart from this upset, the performance in other games was too poor.

Especially the game where they were defeated 3-0 by Schalke, swept 4-0 by Leverkusen, and humiliated 5-2 by Hoffenheim.

Overall, it is a weak team. Its results are not as good as last season.

Hannover 96's offense is from the middle.

Especially their attacking midfielder Arnold Brookink.

Very outstanding player.

He has spent most of his time in the Eredivisie, playing more than 300 times and scoring more than 100 goals. It is already his third season in Hannover and he has scored almost 20 goals.

It is the source of Hannover 96's offense.

He is also the most dangerous player in Hannover 96.

Hannover's two main forwards are Hanke and Fussell.

Hank is a striker that Su Yun only got to know after coming to Dortmund. And Fussell has a close relationship with Su Yun.

Fussell is a Chelsea youth player.

It was Su Yun who personally brought him to the first team back then. However, Fussell didn't have many opportunities in Su Yun's hands. Su Yun had very good forward players from the beginning, so he didn't take a fancy to Fussell.

Even if he is a substitute, he is just a substitute for a substitute.

It was eventually sold to Birmingham.

Fussell's strength is not bad. He has the ability to be the main forward in some small and medium-sized teams.

There was a glorious moment in the Premier League when he scored seventeen goals in one season.

The current offense of Hannover 96 relies on Brookink, Hank and Fussell.

But now Su Yun is thinking more not about Hannover 96's offense, but how to break through their defense.

"The eighth round of the Bundesliga is about to begin. Dortmund plays Hannover 96 at home. Dortmund has made a lot of moves this season. Coach Su Yun unexpectedly became the head coach of Dortmund. And coach Su Yun brought his disciple Williams.

After arriving in Dortmund, a series of cleanings were carried out."

"Most of Dortmund's main players last season were given up by Su Yun. Among the current Dortmund, the only main players last season were Weidenfeller, Dede and Kyle."

"After the great purge, Dortmund's reconstruction work has not been so smooth. So far, Dortmund's results have not been good. In the first seven rounds, Dortmund had one win, four draws and two losses. The points are only seven points. They are currently ranked 3rd.

We are ranked 13th in the Bundesliga. I think this is the worst start for coach Su Yun after so many years of coaching."

Stephen Simon started his usual verbosity again.

"From the current point of view, the performance of Dortmund's young people is slowly getting better. Except for Cavani, who was introduced at a large price, he has not found any boots so far."

"Of course, coach Su Yun is not someone who gives up easily. Cavani has entered the starting lineup again."

…………

Cavani's performance was not good.

Eight games without a goal is really bad for a forward.

But Dortmund fans did not boo Cavani. On the contrary, they also gave Cavani applause when he came on the field. Although it was completely incomparable to other players.

But I also gave him applause.

This is Su Yun's favorite.

What Su Yun dislikes the most is the fans at the Bernabeu.

Their demands are too high.

It is very common for them to boo players and coaches. And it is their own players and their own coaches. But Su Yun only encountered this situation at the Bernabeu.

On the contrary, in Sunderland, Chelsea, Juventus and now Dortmund, Su Yun has never encountered a team that booed its players and coaches.

If it were at Real Madrid, a performance like Cavani's.

He immediately fell down under the boos at the Bernabeu.

Hannover 96 is a weak team, and Su Yun is starting to slowly create a style that belongs to Dortmund.

The teams in the first few rounds were too strong.

It's hard for Dortmund built by Su Yun. Especially for Dortmund, which is undergoing reconstruction, the opponent is too strong.

Su Yun could only take some pragmatic measures.

Why Dortmund had four draws? It was because of Su Yun's pragmatic style of play. Su Yun had no choice, the opponent was too strong.

If there really is a four-game losing streak, the morale of the young players will be gone.

Therefore, Su Yun could only take a pragmatic approach.

But that was not what Su Yun had in mind. It was not the Dortmund that Su Yun wanted to build.

Many of his own ideas have not been reflected, but as the players become more and more understanding, Su Yun will start to build Dortmund according to his own ideas.

oppression.

Su Yun chose a pressing style of play.

It's not like Barcelona's oppression.

Barcelona uses its own possession of the ball to pressure its opponents, and uses its constant possession of the ball to hypnotize its opponents. Barcelona's pressure is pressure under a high ball possession rate. It makes it impossible for the opponent to grab the ball.

It is such a kind of oppression.

But the method chosen by Su Yun is different. Because Su Yun does not think that he can build a Barcelona team. Barcelona's style of play is not easy to copy. After all, they have the La Masia youth training camp as their foundation.

The training of Dortmund's youth academy is completely different from that of La Masia.

Therefore, what Su Yun chose was to use the frontcourt press to pressure the opponent.

run.

This is what Su Yun has always been most particular about.
