Less than 20 minutes into the 2011 German Super Cup, Dortmund trailed home team Bayer Leverkusen by one goal at the Bayer Arena. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The concern is that their offense seems to be in trouble and they can't move forward with the same aggressiveness as last season.

Tang Zheng's ability to read the game is very strong, and he realizes where the team's problems are.

But the manager's tactical arrangements must be obeyed unconditionally, even if he is the team's deserved number one star.

In fact, in the final analysis, the functions of him and Pirlo overlapped, and Klopp set a clear division of labor in the tactical arrangement in order to distinguish the roles of the two.

However, Pirlo's defensive ability is not as good as that of the departing Shahin, and his fitness has declined with age, so Dortmund's defensive ability is destined to weaken in his playing time.

Tang Zheng was given more offensive responsibilities to clarify the division of labor with Pirlo, but judging from the past 20 minutes, it seems that it has not had the desired effect.

The same problem, manager Jurgen Klopp also saw, he stood on the sidelines pacing back and forth, thinking,

However, the veteran Andrea Pirlo was quick to adjust himself, avoiding too much possession while realising that he was not physically adequate, and he opted to reverse the ball without stopping.

At the same time, when restricted, he directs his teammates to pass the ball through gestures to complete the transfer of the offensive direction.

Although this change has weakened Pirlo's function, it has to be said that Dortmund's attack has become more fluid, and the football has come to the feet of Tang Zheng or Gotze more through the two wings.

Klopp's eyes lit up, then he shook his head again.

The changes have certainly solved the urgent needs of the Dortmund attack, but in the end, they are still the symptoms rather than the root cause.

"Forget it, let's win this game first. ”

In the blink of an eye, the game entered the half-hour period, and the score was still the home team Bayer Leverkusen with a one-goal lead over the defending champion Dortmund.

Sky Germany commentator Marcel Leif looked at the last half-hour of the game and commented: "It will take time for the new signings to integrate into the team, hopefully the Dortmund fans will be patient. ”

Yang 5 commentator Duan Huo shook his head and said: "Pirlo is the third veteran over 30 years old in the Dortmund team in addition to Kyle and Weidenfeller, and his presence has made Dortmund's offensive and defensive rhythm much slower, so that it is difficult to see the high pressing and fast counterattack last season......"

The most obvious area is high pressing, which was one of Dortmund's biggest tricks in the league last season.

Considering Pirlo's declining fitness as he aged, Klopp had to abandon his high pressing tactics.

Pirlo's quick play in the midfield made Dortmund's attack much smoother, but Bayer Leverkusen's defensive position and form were really good, especially Ballack's play, which did not look like a 35-year-old veteran at all.

Goalkeeper Adler also had a good performance, and it was his high saving power that kept the goal intact.

The fierce 2011 German Super Cup is still going on, and the atmosphere is very frenetic, Klopp sits in the dugout to figure out how to make the most of Tang Zheng and Pirlo.

Tang Zheng has comprehensive abilities and abundant physical fitness.

If you don't pay attention to him tactically, it's hard to have a good performance.

"What should I do?"

Klopp rubbed his index fingers on his temples and muttered to himself.

※※※

When the whistle blew in the first half, the scoreboard was still 1:0

The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.

Bayer Leverkusen lead Borussia Dortmund at home.

The on-site director switched the camera and aimed at Tang Zheng, who did not perform well in the first half.

Tang Zheng's facial expression is not good-looking, he used to like to pull his teammates to end the discussion, but now he bows his head and is silent, looking preoccupied.

You must know that he has maintained a very high level in every game since he entered the Bundesliga, and in the entire first half of the past year, except for two shots that hit the target range, the performance can be described as terrible.

German TV 2 commentator Michael Reti said: "Last season's treble made Don a little lost, so this summer he focused all his attention on collecting money, neglected his training, and his form ...... badly"

The Dortmund fans who came to the Arena of 100 were still working hard, and they sang the team song neatly.

Borussia Dortmund were unbeaten in all competitions last season and as fans they have a lot of confidence in the team!

Back in the locker room, Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp did not give a judgment on the end of the first half, but cut straight to the point, making changes to the second half of the game, he looked directly at Tang Zheng: "Tang." ”

"Huh?" Tang Zheng looked up.

Jurgen Klopp said quickly: "In the first half you had too limited range of motion and don't forget that you ran an average of 13,000 kilometres per game last season, so in the second half you have to increase your range of motion and keep the pressure on the Bayer Leverkusen defence in attack and assist Sebastian and Andre in defence. ”

Klopp's arrangement is undoubtedly a denial of his own arrangement in the first half, and everything is reversed.

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Andrea Pirlo again: "Andre, your rhythm is too slow, you have to slowly adapt to the fierce rhythm of the Bundesliga, pay attention to Don's response in the second half, once he retreats to respond, you have to pay attention to opening up the receiving space, and then use your vision and long pass scheduling ability to tear apart the opponent's defense." ”

Klopp rearranged his tactics, and it seemed that Pirlo was still in charge of the organization, but in fact, Tang Zheng's task was much heavier than in the first half, and he needed to shoulder the responsibility of organizing the attack and finishing the attack.

Fifteen minutes of the break passed in a blink of an eye, and the two sides changed sides and fought again.

"It's really surprising that Bayer Leverkusen lost Chilean iron man Vidal this summer, and manager Heynckes moved to Bayern Munich, I really didn't expect them to be so amazing, considering that they were beaten home and away by Borussia Dortmund in their two league games last season......

In the past five minutes of the second half, the leading Bayer Leverkusen has become more and more courageous under the shouts of the fans, and even if Tang Zheng returned to the midfield to assist in the defense, it still did not change much.

"Substitution?"

Thinking of this, Klopp shook his head.

Because there is no obvious need to adjust on the pitch at the moment, striker Lewandowski is full of energy and active running, and what is lacking is midfield support.

Gotze and Coopa had problems similar to those of Lewandowski, and they were unable to effectively receive support from Tang Zheng and Pirlo, which prevented the attack from going smoothly.

Tang Zheng and Andrea Pirlo are both indispensable players in the team, and it is not a wise choice to remove anyone in this situation, after all, the German Super Cup is not very valuable, and many teams use it to train their teams.

Klopp's intentions are the same, and he wants Andrea Pirlo to integrate into the team quickly.

In his mind, Pirlo's role is very important, and once he can be compatible with Tang Zheng's tactics, then Dortmund will be stronger than last season.

It's just that from now on, the compatibility is a little poor, and more games are needed to run in.

However, the team's defense was much better than in the first half, Tang Zheng's large-scale running effect was obvious, the coverage of the midfield and backfield increased, and Leverkusen's attacking space was greatly limited.

Under this constant low post defense, Dortmund slowly attacked.

Pirlo's defensive coverage is limited, but his vision and ability to play the ball can make counter-attacks clearer as the team moves from defence to attack.

Gotze and Coopa both have strong attacking ability on both flanks, while Lewandowski is a well-rounded striker with speed and physicality, and can also play as a post-based centre-forward.

Dortmund's attack is slowly picking up, and Bayer Leverkusen manager Dutt is starting to have some headaches.

It also means that the home team is slowly losing the initiative.

In the 60th minute, Dortmund had a great chance.

Tang Zheng passed the ball to Pirlo and then accelerated forward sharply, making a one-two combination, forcing Russ Bender to defend Tang Zheng, only to receive the ball Pirlo to cross behind the central defender.

Lewandowski single-handedly!

“Shit！”

However, Lewandowski did not take the opportunity and looked a little nervous in the face of the oncoming goalkeeper Adler, pushing the far corner wide of the post, to the chagrin of manager Jurgen Klopp.

After a season, Lewandowski still can't compare to Barrios when it matters.

When there was a problem at the back, head coach Dutt took the opportunity to replace Brazilian striker Augusto, who had not played much role in the attack, with Castro to strengthen the central defense.

This substitution adjustment was very targeted, and Dortmund's offensive was slowly suppressed.

The opportunity must not be lost and never come again, this sentence is very reasonable.

Until the 90 minutes of normal time, Dortmund could not score the equaliser.

During this period, if Tang Zheng hadn't spared no effort to run, the score would have become 2:0

"Whew-"

Bayer Leverkusen fans at Bayer Arena were thrilled to support a team that overpowered defending champions Borussia Dortmund and would have won their first trophy of the new season if three minutes of stoppage time were gone!

Although the German Super Cup is of little significance, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat!

Especially for a team like Bayer Leverkusen.

The last time they won the trophy was 18 years ago, when they won the German Cup.

Borussia Dortmund have made all three substitutions, with Kele, Gotze and Kooba coming off with Sven Bender, Perisic and Shinji Kagawa.

Just when everyone thought that Bayer Leverkusen won the Super Cup at home against Dortmund, Mr. Tang Zheng stood up!

He shook off Lars Bender and Castro in one of his lunges before receiving Pirlo's penetrating through ball from a comfortable position.

"Don—"

As the scene erupted into a loud noise, the narrator Marcel Leif shouted violently.

Tang Zheng adjusted slightly about twenty-seven meters away from the door, and then picked up his right foot!

The shot soccer ball is like a cannonball.

Powerful!

It was too late for centre-back Friedrich to come up to block it, and the ball grazed his outstretched left foot and whistled past his facial bone.

The ball did not spin in mid-air, and there was a noticeable drop as it flew to its highest point.

Goalkeeper Adler, despite all his might, still couldn't touch the football......

"The ball is in!" Duan Huo, the commentator of Yang 5, shouted excitedly: "Tang Zheng helped Dortmund equalize in the second minute of injury time!

※※※

Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, was very excited, and he habitually played a kneeling celebration.

Behind him, a group of equally excited teammates.

Manager Jurgen Klopp also stood on the sidelines and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally scored!

The Dortmund fans at the Bayer Arena raised their arms and chanted, although the goal came a little late, but it didn't matter!

The important thing is to score a goal!

Next, due to the format of the match, the two sides drew in 90 minutes without the so-called extra time, and went directly into a brutal penalty shootout.

Although Tang Zheng equalised for Borussia Dortmund in the final stages of stoppage time, the other Dortmund players who visited the Bayer Arena did not perform well.

Tang Zheng, Andrea Pirlo and Hummels converted the penalty, while Robert Lewandowski and substitute Shinji Kagawa missed the penalty.

Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, only Schurrle, who joined this summer, missed, and the other four players all hit.

As a result, Bayer Leverkusen defeated Borussia Dortmund 5-4 on aggregate to win the 2011 German Super Cup.

Borussia Dortmund did not beat Bayer Leverkusen at Bayer Arena, and many media pointed the finger directly at manager Jurgen Klopp, believing that his tactical arrangement was inadequate, so that Tang Zheng and Pirlo failed to play at their due level.

However, Dortmund fans are not dissatisfied, believing that victory and defeat are a matter of course.

Dortmund's performance last season was too perfect, and it is normal for the form to be sluggish at the beginning of this season, and if Dortmund's form is as good as ever, it is called a perversion.

Or rather, it's Dortmund that feels real.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose the Super Cup, what matters is the upcoming first round of the German Cup and the Bundesliga.

Then there's the Champions League, which starts in September.

After nine years, this is a feast for Dortmund fans, and it has been a long wait.

In the face of media criticism, Klopp did not shirk his responsibility, as the head coach boldly admitted: "My players performed very well in this game! In the end, the reason for the loss was my tactical error, and I believe that the upcoming new season can show everyone a stronger Dortmund ......"

Although the Super Cup is the king of kings, it is a chicken rib in the final analysis.

The media is also just trying to keep things fresh, and Dortmund are unbeaten for a season, losing before the start of the 2011-2012 season, which naturally attracted some attention.

However, in the strict sense of the word, Dortmund's unbeaten run has not been broken, as they have not lost in regulation time.

Of course, in any case, Dortmund lost the 2011 German Super Cup and lost the chance to win the quadruple crown.

They can only prepare for the first round of the 2011-2012 German Cup in Baden-Württemberg at the end of the month, away to Sandhausen from the Bundesliga.

For Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp, the next game is the best moment to make up for the lack of tactics, and the coexistence of Tang Zheng and Pirlo will be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome to wait until the league starts......
