The new season of the Bundesliga is about to open. When the hot spots are attracted by Kane’s joining Bayern, we might as well talk about the most obscure team in the Bundesliga this season. In the latest collective questionnaire of the Bundesliga legends, there was a Bundesliga demoted teams option, and everyone unexpectedly pointed the most popular downgrading this season to damstadt. So, does this team really have no hope of relegation? What kind of story does this strange team name have with our country? Today, let’s walk into dumstadt together and listen to what guguangming, our legendary International, thinks about this.
1. Iron defense in the past life
This small club, located in Hesen, Germany, was merged by Olympia dammstadt Football Club and dammstadt 1905 sports club on November 11, 191919. the full name is dammstadt 98 Sports Club. Do you think it is a small club? No, they also involve football, basketball, track and field, long-distance running, judo, table tennis and other projects, with a total of 1,200 athletes. In the long history of dumstadt, there are also well-known players, Gu Guangming, one of the core players of China’s Asian Cup Asian Army in 1984, and the legendary Korean star Cha Bum-kun.
This season, it was dammstadt who returned to the Bundesliga after six years of absence, but it was only the fourth time that the team promoted to the Bundesliga. In the history of the Bundesliga, damstadt’s name was only in the 1978/79 season, 1981/82 season, there were Bundesliga in the 2015/16 season and the 2016/17 season, and only one season was successfully reclassified after the last upgrade. During the six years of de B, dumstadt has been working hard to return to the Bundesliga every season. Last season, he experienced the fourth place in the ranking and failed to upgrade the play-off because of the disadvantage of winning the goal, dimstadt finally successfully returned to the Bundesliga last season. In the downgrading sound of “everyone wants to return”, is dumstadt really so vulnerable?
Last season, the core factor of d’amstadt’s upgrade was defense. Those who firmly believed that “strikers win the game and defense wins the championship” finally upgraded ahead of schedule in the 33rd round. Last season, under the leadership of 29-year-old back-defense core Zhan Nick Muller and goalkeeper Marcel shoune, the team lost only 29 goals throughout the season, 13 of which remained zero, all of them are the best. After all, only striker Philip Titz scored double digits last season, and he also left the team in the summer. The success rate of old goalkeeper Shue en’s rescue reached the highest 77% in the whole Bundesliga professional league last year, which doubled the value of each goal. But both him and Jannick Muller agreed that the team’s defense was the effort and credit of the whole team.
Last summer, the team’s biggest recruitment was former Dortmund and menxing’s reserve team Zhongwei Zimmerman. This summer, after the top scorer Titz 2.2 million moved to Augsburg, Club 2 million introduced claret and 1.8 million introduced Hornby. The total net transfer expenditure of 1.6 million was the team’s greatest effort to relegate the new season. 33-year-old captain Fabian Holland is the most experienced player in the Bundesliga team, but there are only 49 games, and the second-ranked Kenpei’s 31 games are less than 2/3 of the captain’s.
No star is a cliché for the relegation team, but this club is now unprecedentedly united.
2. Klopp’s best friend
Why did you choose dumstadt in the last summer friendly match in Liverpool? What kind of training effect will this have? Behind this, there are unknown stories. Limstadt coach leibk nehte, he is not only a former teammate of Klop, but also his best friend in this life. He coached the team just from Klop’s introduction. At the press conference before this friendly match, Klopp bluntly said that he often exchanged opinions on team management and tactics with this close friend. I chose to play the last friendly match with them, and I also hope that I can give damstadt enough help.
A few years ago, libberknecht visited Klop specially in Liverpool. They talked about the accumulation of team fatigue and training load all night long. Because it was a special period at that time, there were many matches in the team week, and high-tempo matches in the Premier League were normal. Libberknecht pointed out his problems in this aspect directly to Klop, and Klop also made a profound reflection.
At one point, libberknecht has his own opinion. Only by accumulating enough physical strength and playing in the most effective time can the team be invincible. Last season, there were 11 games in DEMB and damstadt, all of which lost the ball first. In the end, 7 games were successfully equalized, and 3 of them were reversed and won. In terms of the mentality of the team, libberknecht is also an expert. It is because he pays enough attention to the psychology and privacy of the players that the team can win the top 32 away points of Debs, and there are only 14 away goals.
Libberknecht said: “Normally, only the stars on the court get all the attention, but our players are all people who really survive, so they know how to deal with the whole game with all their strength. I know every point is crucial, so we must fight to the end. I feel good about the club and the city.”
Perhaps, some senior Bundesliga fans are familiar with the name libberknecht. He was the head coach who led Brunswick back to the Bundesliga after 28 years in five seasons, although the later time in Duisburg was not good, he is now eager to prove himself again in dumstadt. Maybe his teaching career can never catch up with his good brother, but he knows his dream as a person with pure hobbies.
Under his leadership, dumstadt has an attitude of not fearing hardship, and there is no shortcut to success.
3. Let’s listen to the guidance of Gu Guangming living in the local area
Because I wanted to write dammstadt, I specially interviewed a Chinese legend who was most familiar with this club, and he was the guide of Gu Guangming. At the same time, I also talked with Chang about the experience of many domestic players in Germany.
Q: What do you think of the club dumstadt?
Gu Guangming: “dammstadt only upgraded this year. In my life experience, their current development is still very good, and the team’s investment is also very reasonable. No matter the youth training management or team management, the club is very gradual and complete.”
Q: What do you think of the Bundesliga Legends that dammstadt will be downgraded?
Gu Guangming: “dammstadt’s performance is still linked to specific investment. After all, there are many club projects, and the investment in the football team is weaker than that of other Bundesliga teams. Moreover, it must be very difficult after the upgrade of dumstadt, which is normal in European countries. It must be based on the transfer market. It is very difficult for any small team to enter the top league.”
Q: Do you think there is a difference between dammstadt’s fan culture and other parts of Germany?
Gu Guangming: “The fan culture of dumstadt is the same as that in other parts of Germany. The basic Club ticket package is in short supply. The team will meet with the fans every year, and the atmosphere is also very good.”
Q: What are the main aspects of these Fans’ culture?
Gu Guangming: “Every time the team is on the road, there will be a situation that the registration is too full. This is a very infectious team. The team is allowed to hang flags and banners in the venue, organize people to dance together, drink alcohol on the terrace, and keep the ticket price low.”
Q: Have you followed Kane’s transfer to Bayern?
Gu Guangming: “I have paid attention to Kane’s transfer, but I don’t know much about it. This is a very shocking transfer.”
Q: What do you think of the two Chinese generals, Wang Bowen and Li Xiancheng, who joined Bremen?
Gu Guangming: “I haven’t seen them play, so I can’t comment at will. But I am very concerned about them. It is good news to have Chinese children come to Germany. But in my opinion, many Asian players can cope with it when they are still very young, but they can’t keep up with the pace when they are 18 or 19 years old, but Germany’s excellent children can play the main force of the Bundesliga at this age.”
Q: What do you think of this phenomenon? Why can sun Xingzhen go out from here?
Gu Guangming: “Sun Xingyi came to Germany by a former teammate of mine. Besides very hard personal training, his father would also take him to practice together. In addition, his father would ask someone to give him special guidance, especially at the technical level, which must be corrected to find problems. Psychological counseling is also very important. These details often determine the final development track. Mentality can even be said to be the most important, which is also the worst shortcoming of domestic children and players at present. Because of the gap in training level, the intensity and density are different, but in Europe, as long as you can’t keep up with your mentality, the coach won’t talk to you for this, even won’t say much, and won’t care about you, in the end, you can only be eliminated. Just like Hu Ruibao, it is a pity to stay in dammstadt for only half a year.”
Q: What do you think of the two World Cups of German youth training and German team? It is said that there is a problem with German youth training. What do you think?
Gu Guangming: “Germany is not a problem with youth training, because the German youth training system is complete and perfect, but Germany’s overall playing method ignores the training of some top students. If you care about German football, you will find that today’s German strikers have no characteristics, and the lack of a characteristic center is definitely not acceptable.”
There is no doubt that the psychological advantage at the spiritual level is one of the biggest advantages of dammstadt’s promotion to Bundesliga, but can they maintain such an advantage in Bundesliga? The challenge of the new season is huge for libberknecht and his iron defense.
