In the first18th Bundesliga match on Saturday morning, Dortmund lost 2-4 to Menxing, and Harland was unable to save it. This game ended the 12 losing streak against Dortmund.
After losing the game, Dortmund ranked fourth in the Bundesliga with a record of 9 wins, 2 draws, 6 losses and 29 points. However, the team has been in a bad state recently and has been unbeaten for three consecutive rounds.
The good news is that Harland is becoming more and more lovable, and now he has become the true god of Dortmund. But what is worrying is that several other talented teenagers who have high hopes in the array seem to have failed to reach the expected level.
Success is also youth training, and failure is also youth training. You can't win this curse by a group of children. Will it finally be realized in Dot?
Back to last summer's transfer window, Dortmund can be said to be an alternative big winner in the transfer market.
While trying to keep Sancho, while grabbing Bellingham, which Manchester United coveted for a long time, the rejuvenation route can be said to be quite solid.
In particular, Bellingham's joining, but also severely hit the top of the Red Devils in the face. It is said that Sandzi took Bellingham's parents to visit Carrington training base in early March, hoping to facilitate the signing as soon as possible, but in the end, Dortmund stopped him halfway.
The reason why so many young talents flock to Dortmund is that it has its own unique advantages in the construction of youth training system and the training of young players.
In addition to all coaches and top management attach great importance to the role of young players, Dortmund's youth training system has three characteristics that are different from other European giants.
First, pertinence and scientificity.
This is an advantage that many giants are flaunting, but few clubs can achieve the ultimate like Dortmund.
In terms of equipment, the service machine, which aims at improving players' ability to catch and stop the ball, can cooperate with the training of football robots that pass and catch the ball in all directions, and it is the standard of Dortmund. Five years ago, only three clubs in the Bundesliga owned this equipment, and Dortmund has been using this equipment for five years.
On the field, Dortmund's youth training base is adjacent to the training base of the first team, and both sides can enjoy the maximum resources. For example, some teams rarely see natural lawns (and there are nearly 10 ...), such as independent dressing rooms and tactical analysis rooms of different echelons, such as constant temperature system to ensure the best training effect for a long time, and so on.
In recent years, Dortmund also has various high-tech training equipment favored by major giants. The aforementioned servers and soccer robots are the best proof.
Second, the visible benefits.
Back in the past, when Gotze and former Dortmund captain Kyle talked about life and ideal past in the gym, this positive, United and hopeful atmosphere was really desirable.
Third, humanization.
In the words of Riken, the director of youth training, football is the most important thing in Dortmund youth training, but becoming a professional player is not the only pursuit on their long life.
As we all know, although professional players have unlimited scenery, the success rate of youth training camps of major giants is actually not high. For those children who are crazy about football, but never get a professional contract, football can hurt them as much as they used to love football.
Therefore, Germany has always followed the strategy of all-round development in youth football training.
On the other hand, Dot attaches great importance to this set of rules.
This mode of operation is exactly the same as La Marcia in Barcelona. Sure enough, the stories of successful people are mostly similar.
Unfortunately, Dortmund's beautiful youth training has now encountered more and more difficulties.
Looking back over the past few years, from Gotze, Royce to Mukoko, from Wan Le, Ousmane Dembé lé to Sancho, whether it is pure-blood youth training products produced by ourselves or talented teenagers processed and exported with materials the day after tomorrow, they can always grow rapidly after experiencing Dortmund.
And their development paths are mostly similar.
No matter whether Dortmund chose this road by himself or the tragic story of being unable to resist the money offensive of various dignitaries, the result is at least not so bad-because these talents can not only get back the money, but also ensure that the team's performance will not collapse.
In a sense, whether Dortmund wants to admit it or not, youth training is the foundation for them to settle down.
This is why Dortmund expanded the youth training center at a price of 20 million yuan last year, even though the income was greatly reduced due to the epidemic.
Dortmund youth training director Ricken also said:
When Harland, Sancho, etc. In full swing, Mukoko rose rapidly, and Dortmund's operation mode, which focused on youth training and cooperated with low-cost acquisition of talented players for processing and sales, ran quite smoothly.
However, after the rise of Leipzig and Menxing, this road seems to be impassable.
First, the cost of attracting young talents is getting higher and higher. Nowadays, in the Premier League giants such as Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City, the radar of material selection obviously overlaps with Dortmund. Although Dortmund is famous, it is not so easy to keep his talent.
Secondly, the competitive pressure has increased. The rise of Leipzig, Menxing and other emerging forces means that Dortmund's position in the domestic arena has become increasingly unstable.
Perhaps a completely failed season is what Dortmund needs most now-because it will provide the best chance for their reconstruction.
