Chapter 295: Jumping Really High!
Beep~!
"CCTV, CCTV, the match that is now being broadcast live for you is the highlight of the third round of Group D of the 2012-2013 Champions League, Dortmund takes on the Galacticos Real Madrid at the Signal Park Eduna Stadium......!
With the whistle of the referee on duty, He Wei, the commentator of CCTV 5, excitedly shouted out the standard lines of CCTV. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ozil, meanwhile, kicked the ball to striker Karim Benzema, and Lewandowski and Gotze surrounded him left and right, looking to press high from the start.
For Dortmund's high-level pressing, Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho obviously had a rigorous tactical arrangement before the game.
The ball should be handled cleanly at the back, especially at the back, and the football should be sent to the front court as much as possible.
After all, there are midfielders and defenders behind the ball in the front, and if the defender loses the ball, only the goalkeeper remains......
The atmosphere at Westphalun continued to be frenetic, with the overwhelming Dominion of Dortmund fans creating a deafening boo while Real Madrid players were in possession of the ball, forcing them to make mistakes on the ball.
I have to say that the mental quality of Real Madrid players is very good, even the 19-year-old Varane can handle the ball calmly.
After a slow pace of the first two minutes, the Real Madrid players realized that Dortmund's midfielders did not mean to press high, so they increased the number of passes in the midfield and midfield to ensure that the ball at their feet was not intercepted by Dortmund.
Jose Mourinho watched the Ruhr derby at the Westphalia last weekend, and Dortmund played a quick counter-attack at the back, which was even as efficient as his carefully crafted quick counter-attacking tactics.
Therefore, it is necessary to increase lateral passing and make the most of the width of the court while improving the time of possession.
In addition, Mesut Ozil and Xavi Alonso are the kind of passers who are very good at spotting holes in the opposition's defence.
And Dortmund's defensive holes will only appear in continuous left and right horizontal passes, long pass transfers.
However, this style of play is not what Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid are good at, and they are better at digging out the opponent's defensive gaps in the process of switching from defense to attack.
So in terms of effect, it didn't have the effect that Mourinho saw, but Dortmund almost seized Real Madrid's passing opportunity to play a subtle counterattack.
Although Dortmund started with a defensive posture, the midfield was super technical.
With Sven Bender partnering Andrea Pirlo in the middle, Goetze and Reuss on the left and right, plus Hummels, who has a strong ability to play the ball, Dortmund has a strong ability to launch long passes and counterattacks at the back.
With no choice but to give up possession and let Dortmund, who are playing at home, lead the attack.
Within minutes of the game, Klopp, who was sitting in the home team's dugout, noticed Real Madrid's intentions, but he didn't care.
If it weren't for the home game, he wouldn't have let the team choose to keep a low profile in the opening stages.
It's good now to take the initiative to return possession.
In midfield, except for Sven Bender, who is a defender, is slightly less capable of holding the ball at his feet, the other four players have strong ability to carry the ball at their feet, so it is difficult for Real Madrid players to pose a threat to Dortmund's team carrier in midfield.
Coupled with the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't like to defend, it means that Real Madrid's defense at this stage is only relying on the other nine players.
The defense was originally passive, and now there is one less person to defend, which is somewhat a headache for Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho.
It stands to reason that there is no player under him who does not fulfill his defensive responsibilities, but Cristiano Ronaldo has a strong scoring ability, can score 40+ goals in a single season, and is the darling of Real Madrid fans.
No way.
※※※
As the game entered the tenth minute, Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria tried to attack Schmelzer's left side of the defence.
As a result, Dortmund deployed heavily on this side, with Subotic and Sven Bender paying extra attention to the defensive position on the left, which is tantamount to saying that Mourinho's tactical change before the game was expected by Klopp.
The technical ability of the Dortmund midfielders is not weaker than that of Real Madrid at all, coupled with Pirlo's rhythm control and Tang Zheng's active running, the Westphalun Stadium during this period has become a sea of joy.
Real Madrid defended passively, and manager Jose Mourinho was also frequently seen on the broadcast camera, conveying the latest tactical adjustments through gestures.
Mourinho thinks Schmelzer is the weakness of Dortmund's defensive system, and why didn't Klopp use Real Madrid's defensive left side as a breakthrough?
Essien played more of a defensive midfield during his time at Chelsea, with right-back and centre-back playing, but neither was very reassuring.
Moreover, Essien, who is about to turn 30, has declined significantly, and his habitual foot is right-footed, and his left-back play has brought some unease to Real Madrid fans.
Even his team-mates on the pitch were uncomfortable with Essien, with defensive midfielder Khedira focusing more on his own left flank, while Xavi Alonso had to help his own side defend on the right while juggling the middle.
Dortmund's attacking duo of Tang Zheng is in trouble at the offensive end, with Mesut Ozil and Di Maria seemingly in line with him.
They allowed Tang Zheng to pass and return the ball back and forth without stopping, but they just didn't allow him to take the ball and turn around.
Once Tang Zheng enters Real Madrid's 30-meter defensive area, Xavi Alonso's attention is also on Tang Zheng, focusing on the connection between the Dortmund players in the front court and Tang Zheng, and cutting off his connection with the attacking players.
This is also the reason why Dortmund's attack has not been opened for a long time, because the attacking soul Tang Zheng has been frozen by Muhammad's defense.
Tang Zheng is very smart and realizes that the attention he receives from the other party is actually an opportunity for his teammates.
Gotze, Reus, and Lewandowski all have strong individual abilities and the ability to change the outcome of the game, so Tang Zheng brings space to other teammates up front through his active running.
In the 14th minute, Tang Zheng suddenly ran to attack the left rib, he took away the defensive attention of Mesut Ozil and Di Maria, and at the same time signaled Pirlo, who was holding the ball, to pass the ball over.
Pirlo did not hesitate, with a push of the arch of his foot, the ball rolled quickly towards Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng ran to attack the left rib, and Gotze cleverly gave up his position and chose to adduct.
Because of Schmelzer's forward pressure, right-back Ramos did not dare to step forward, which is equivalent to saying that central defensive midfielder Xavi Alonso has to take into account the possible choices that Tang Zheng can make after getting the ball.
However, what he never expected was that Tang Zheng did not stop the ball, but stepped on the football directly with the sole of his left foot, and then pulled it back, and the football rolled towards the route of Gotze's cut.
Tang Zheng, who had been frozen by Real Madrid's defensive system for a long time, created a chance through a sudden diagonal insertion and non-stop ball pulling on the bottom of his feet, and the Westphalun Stadium suddenly resounded with a deafening shout: "Whoa-"
Götze is fast, dribbling and has a certain long-range shooting skills, and he opted for a direct long-range shot from 26 yards before Xavi Alonso came out to make a defence!
"Mario!!" German Sky commentator Marcel Leif shouted violently: "Long shot-"
The football flew like a cannonball into the top left corner of the goal, and the Real Madrid expeditionary force who accompanied the team to the Westphalia Stadium gasped.
I saw Casillas pulling onions on the dry ground in the broadcast footage, he was not tall, he was extremely fast, he had enough kicking force, and stretched out his right arm to lift the football out of the bottom line.
"Whoa, whoa—"
Immediately afterward, a deafening cry of regret rang out over Westfal Lun.
Götze tugged at his hair with both hands, his face full of regret.
"San Igor!" the Spanish national television commentator raised his arms excitedly and shouted: "Wonderful save!!"
Tang Zheng ran over and put his arms around Gotze's neck and said with a smile: "Beautiful!"
"It's a pity. ”
Götze shook his head.
Tang Zheng smiled and didn't speak again, but patted Gotze on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and then ran into the penalty area.
Casillas made a brilliant save to give Dortmund a corner.
"I have to say that the technical and tactical content of this game is extremely high, and the first corner of the game did not appear until the fifteenth minute of the game. Yang 5 commentator He Wei said passionately.
Dortmund won a corner kick opportunity, and the Real Madrid players in the box instantly became nervous.
Cristiano Ronaldo is known to be versatile and able to score in a variety of ways, with headers being the most often used in his scoring style.
Therefore, in the defensive corner kick tactics formulated by Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ramos defended Tang Zheng together.
Tang Zheng is 1.94 meters tall, and his bounce and judgment of the landing point of football are very good, and it is understandable why Mourinho will let the team's two big headers defend Tang Zheng.
Cristiano Ronaldo was somewhat disdainful of Tang Zheng in his heart, and kept a distance for this.
But Ramos doesn't have this kind of mentality, his job is to defend, and in the face of Tang Zheng, he chose to pull the jersey directly.
Tang Zheng had been frozen for more than ten minutes, which made him feel a little angry.
Now that he finally got a corner kick opportunity, Ramos even got his hands on it?
But...... Just then, Pirlo whipped in a corner from the left.
Tang Zheng didn't have time to think about it, he quickly reached out and slapped Ramos's right hand that was clenching his jersey, and when he got the space to move, he judged the landing point of the football, and then bent his knees and jumped on the spot.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been keeping his distance from Tang Zheng, looked at the incoming ball and jumped with Tang Zheng.
Unlike Tang Zheng, who jumped on the spot, he had a good running distance, so he jumped higher!
Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo is confident enough that he can beat Tang Zheng to complete the corner kick duel!
The result?
When Cristiano Ronaldo jumped to the highest point, he found that Tang Zheng's body was still rising......
He Wei, the CCTV 5 commentator who was looking at the broadcast camera, exclaimed: "Jumping really high!"
