Qin Youxia: Scientists are chasing the strongest, Dortmund "runs" into the Champions League!

Kovac was in office, and the requirements for ball rights were downplayed. One of the two midfielders dragged the back, and the other could fully move forward in the offense to create depth. Gross, who always appears in the right rib, can use outstanding crossing skills and gain 10 assists in the Bundesliga. In the last round, Gross was suspended, Zabitze was responsible for breaking the back, and Enmesha got full opportunity to go forward, creating a penalty and a third goal, both from the back of the left rib. As long as you move and kick instead of just embroidering and grinding, Dortmund's midfield is far less bad than the first half.

Adeyemi and Baier are not wingers in the standard sense. They are far away from the goal under the 4231 system and cannot maximize their characteristics. Appearing at the No. 9 and a half position, closer to the goal, allowed the two to explode in the last 8 rounds. Under this system, the one who benefits the most is undoubtedly Gilasi. Guinea scorer who won the Bundesliga silver boots for two consecutive seasons is always isolated under Shahin's position. He can only watch the midfielder silence and wingers play singles in the center of the penalty area, but cannot get effective transfers. Under Kovac's football framework, the inverted triangle passes after 45-degree crosses and insertion depth increased significantly. Gilassi continued to eat cakes and scored a total of 14 goals in the Bundesliga in the second half, with 4 more goals in the same period than the Golden Boot Kane. Gilasi scored 34 goals in 45 official games this season, and is expected to share the Golden Boot with Rafinia in the Champions League.

Is this tactic of Kovac complicated? It is not complicated at all, but it can make everyone play more comfortable. The head coach's primary responsibility is to allow 11 people to play their characteristics on the court and form a joint force. Compared to Shahin, who likes to carefully pick skills and tactics, several keywords of Kovac football are strength, fighting, running and investment. Use no ball to drive the ball and resolutely switch, which is also the original DNA of Ruhr football.

As a Croatian born in Berlin, Kovac has always strictly governed the army and captured the physical fitness of players, which is the top priority of training. Adiemi said to Dortmund's later range: "The secret is that the coach kicks our butt and lets run." After more than three months of training, Dortmund has transformed from a lazy team whose average running distance is only higher than that of the relegated team Bochum, to a mobile unit that can easily run out of more than 120 kilometers in a single game. After Kovac arrived, he also banned players from shooting and training after high-intensity training, because this will cause additional consumption and increase the risk of injury, focusing on a scientific military governance.

to cover the lower limit, we still need to reflect on

Kovac is certainly not a scientist or a magician, and he is even a little superstitious. During the last eight rounds of sprints, the Balkans never changed his outfit, but he used the simplest and most effective way to restore Dortmund to his rightful appearance in football, physical and confidence. Dortmund once chased from the 17th in the first half of the season to the seventh at the end of the season in the 2014-15 season, which was Klopp's last year, and qualified for the Europa League. 10 rankings are also the largest half-time promotion tied for No. 1 in Bundesliga history. But this time, the 8 rounds of 7 places have been upgraded, and the ups and downs of the process or the actual Champions League tickets are even more shocking. Relieved Sports General Manager Ricken said: "Kovac completed one of the greatest coaching achievements in Dortmund's history!" In the 17th round, Dortmund defeated Kiel 2-4 as a visit, and the Yellow and Black Army reached the lowest point of the season. After a cycle, the opponent was Kiel again. Dortmund succeeded in the Northern Expedition with a completely different mood. In the past two seasons, Dortmund has earned hundreds of millions of euros due to its finals and the quarterfinals. The Champions League qualification has preserved the largest piece of cake in the team's revenue level. In addition, the Club World Cup in the summer will bring tens of millions of euros, so Dortmund will not be affected in its normal operation and strength positioning. In the Bundesliga, Dortmund, who has the potential to be in the top 8, is obviously better than Freiburg, who has a goal difference or a loss this season.

But the result is good, it doesn't mean everything is fine. After a brief celebration, Dortmund also needs to face up to a series of mistakes made in vocational and lineup planning this season. After all, the first 2/3 seasons were a complete failure, and only the last 1/3 seasons were considered successful. Last season, Dortmund, with 63 points, only won fifth place in the Bundesliga. The extra tickets through European competitions led to the Champions League. The 57 points this season, if it were the past season, it is likely that it would not be able to catch the last bus. Why did the UEFA Champions League qualification, as the team's lowest goal, not settled at the last moment for two consecutive seasons? It is worth pondering at the senior management of Dortmund.

Although the success of the Northern Expedition is good, wouldn’t it be better if you don’t need the Northern Expedition?
