Chapter 368: Unexpected Joy

At the regular pre-match press conference held in the press conference hall of the Camp Nou, the media was very speechless about Klopp's use of No. 2 goalkeeper Yan Jun in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, especially the German media. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Needless to say, the peculiarity of the goalkeeper's position is known to anyone who knows a little bit about the ball.

Under normal circumstances, there are only two situations in which the team uses a substitute goalkeeper, one is that the main goalkeeper is injured, and the other is suspended.

Weidenfeller has only been suspended for one game in the domestic Bundesliga, and has only received a yellow card in the Champions League this season, which is far from a suspension.

With the number two goalkeeper in this case, the media with different focus will see different problems.

German media believe that Klopp's appearance in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals in advance in order to allow Yan Junling to adapt to the rhythm of the national derby is very unsafe, and a slight carelessness is likely to cause Dortmund to recover.

The excitement of the Chinese media is that once Yan Junling appears for Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, he will set a number of records.

For example, the first Asian goalkeeper to play in the Champions League for a team in Europe's top five leagues, the first Asian goalkeeper to appear in the Champions League semi-finals, and the youngest Asian goalkeeper to play for a European team......

The Madrid media in Spain didn't feel very impressed, but the local media in Catalonia were very angry, and they thought that Klopp was completely belittling the former six-time champions Barcelona by doing so.

The increase in glory has given the Catalan media a great sense of superiority, and even if they lose 0:4 at Lun Westphala, they believe Barcelona can come back at the Camp Nou.

Back at Camp Nou, the visiting Borussia Dortmund should be treated with the focus on.

However, the use of a substitute goalkeeper in the crucial second leg of the Champions League semi-final when the starting goalkeeper was unharmed will inevitably cause the Catalan media to think too much.

The job of the media is based on imagination, so how can such an obvious 'contempt' be ignored?

A reporter from the local Catalan media newspaper "Le Monde" said displeased: "Mr. Jurgen, as far as I know, your team's number two goalkeeper has never played in the top flight, what if it causes Dortmund's trip to Camp Nou to collapse?"

Klopp smiled and did not answer the question directly, saying very comfortably: "There is no 'if' in the world, besides, Yan's training form in the past few days is very good, I and the coaching staff are very confident in him, as for I'm more worried about whether Barcelona's shot can test him......"

The implication is clear that Barcelona's first-leg defeat at the Stadio de la Stadio Westphalia was directly related to their shooting percentage.

There were a lot of shots on goal, but the number of shots that hit the goal range was pitiful.

The reporter of "World Sport" was angry enough, but he did not decide to give in and was ready to make trouble: "The players are in good shape, and when I return to the Camp Nou, I believe Barcelona can score at least five goals. ”

Klopp spread his hands and teased: "You just believe in being happy." ”

Suddenly, the press conference hall at the Camp Nou resounded with tacit laughter, mocking the antics of the reporters of "World Sport".

Klopp's four or two thousand pounds are very level!

Immediately, the topic moved in the right direction under the control of the press officer, and the attention returned to tomorrow night's game.

In fact, there is only a theoretical possibility for Barcelona to achieve a big reversal, and many media, experts and fans have already tacitly acquiesced that Dortmund advanced to this season's Champions League final.

Yan Junling, who returned to the hotel, habitually scrolled Twitter, and noticed the regular press conference of the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals that had just ended, and his mood suddenly became excited.

After more than four months of hard work, I can finally represent Dortmund in official competitions, and it is also a top competition like the Champions League semi-finals!

Considering Yan Junling's mood fluctuations in the Champions League semi-finals for Dortmund for the first time, manager Klopp specially asked the team's 65-year-old psychologist Heiner Langenkamp to enlighten Yan Junling and let him travel lightly.

Tuesday, April 30, local time in Europe, Champions League match day.

With more than half a day to go before the second leg of Barcelona's Champions League semi-final against Borussia Dortmund, Europe's largest professional football stadium, the Camp Nou, is already active with a large number of die-hard Barcelona fans.

Dortmund fans also have it, but it's almost negligible because of the numbers.

At half past six in the evening, the entire Dortmund team left the hotel in a bus to the Camp Nou, the venue for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, under the boos of the Barcelona fans.

The Dortmund players on the bus were very relaxed, and it is not difficult to see that the psychological changes brought about by the 4:0 advantage at home are quite obvious.

Jurgen Klopp's tactical demands on the road are very simple, with minimal cost to qualify.

Of course, this does not mean that Dortmund will defend in full defence at the Camp Nou, but on the contrary, they will have to play their own style.

Barcelona, who lost 0:4 away, will definitely spare no effort to attack at home, so stabilizing the position is the first priority, followed by seizing the opportunity in the counterattack.

Once they scored at the Camp Nou, Barcelona were not far away from collapse.

With Borussia Dortmund scoring on the road, Barcelona must have a goal net of five to qualify for the comeback.

This is also one of the reasons why Klopp finally chose Yan Junling to be the starting goalkeeper of this game.

In this game, the margin for error is very high.

However, this does not mean that Klopp allows his players to make mistakes, but on the contrary, he focused on the spirit of the away game in his regular meeting at the hotel last night, and a home win does not mean that the team has advanced early, at most it means that the chances of promotion are a few percent higher.

The team arrived at Camp Nou, warmed up, and returned to the dressing room to prepare for the game.

With the Champions League theme song "Champions-League" resounding throughout the Camp Nou, the referee team led the players from both sides into the stadium to carry out a series of necessary procedures for the Champions League.

At the same time, Yang 5 commentator He Wei was in a passionate mood, looking at Yan Junling who was following Tang Zheng with emotion: "Behind the captain Tang Zheng is the Chinese goalkeeper Yan Junling, who caused heated discussions in many media before the game, and even caused extreme dissatisfaction in the local media in Gatalonia......"

"At the beginning of this year, Yan Junling joined Dortmund, I think most fans don't know who Yan Junling is, here I have to explain, Yan Junling is from the Genbao training base, is the main goalkeeper of the 2012 season of the Chinese League champion Shanghai Telez, a fairly young post-90s goalkeeper ......"

"The first time I represented Dortmund in an official match was the focus of the Champions League semi-finals, I hope he doesn't have too much baggage in his heart, as long as he shows his training level, before the game, I hope that captain Tang Zheng can give his fellow disciple Yan Junling some confidence......

At the beginning of the game, Tang Zheng beckoned his teammates to gather together after the side picking session at the referee team to cheer each other on to boost morale.

In the end, Tang Zheng took the initiative to pull Yan Junling, who was walking towards the goal, he stretched out his right hand and clasped Yan Junling's equally outstretched right hand: "Come on! I believe you can become famous! Just like you want to aspire to become the first Chinese goalkeeper to gain a foothold in Europe's top league." ”

"I know. ”

Yan Junling nodded his head very humbly.

This scene happened to be captured by the live director, and the topic of Yang 5 commentator He Wei returned to Yan Junling's first appearance: "If you don't guess wrong, Zhang Tang Zheng is privately opening a small stove for Yan Junling, relieving him of the huge pressure brought by the game." ”

At the same time, Messi pulled Villa and Pedro, and the three of them exchanged several words and didn't know what to discuss.

"Beautiful!!" Yang 5 commentator He Wei was very excited, almost crazy shouting: "Yan Junling used a very wonderful sideways save Messi's long-range shot from the bottom line!"

The Catalan TV commentator lamented: "Leao's reload has improved qualitatively compared to last week, and I think as the game progresses, his state will be even more perverted!

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif nodded his head and said with relief: "I think the concerns of the German media and Dortmund fans can be temporarily relieved, and it can be concluded that Yan's reaction speed and state are still quite good." ”

At the same time, Hummels, who was a little careless in defense, pulled up Yan Junling, who made a wonderful save, and said gratefully: "Beautiful." ”

Other teammates also gave Yan Junling full encouragement, hoping that he would continue to work hard in the next games.

Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yan Junling's performance, the defense just now was Hummels' defensive mistake, so that Messi got a long-range opportunity, if it wasn't for Yan Junling's quick reaction, Barcelona was likely to use an offensive opportunity in the opening game to open the scoring.

Yan Junling is a newcomer to the team, and he doesn't have the courage and confidence to scold his teammates.

But Tang Zheng is different, he is the current captain on the field, and he has absolute authority in the team.

He first touched Yan Junling's hair affectionately, and then yelled at Hummels: "Concentrate on the game! Don't give the opponent any chance, you know?"

Hummels was a little embarrassed, but he knew that Tang Zheng was for his own good, so he nodded solemnly in agreement, indicating that he would concentrate on the next game.

Immediately, Tang Zheng roared at the surrounding defenders: "You must concentrate! Don't distract me!!"

Head coach Klopp wanted to knock the players on the field when he was lucky, but he didn't expect captain Tang Zheng to do this job again, which was a lot easier.

In the first five minutes of the game, Barcelona at the Camp Nou played quite aggressively, especially Messi and Pedro, who were criticized by the media for not being active enough in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

Compared to the lack of enthusiasm and excitement in the first leg, the running and enthusiasm in this match were much higher, so there were a lot more chances created.

According to Messi's opening game strategy, he wanted to take advantage of Yan Junling's nervousness in the Champions League semifinals to play more long-range shots and force the opponent to make mistakes.

As a result, people are not as good as heaven, and Yan Junling's performance was unexpected.

Five minutes later, Messi had to change his strategy and find space with more tandem and running.

However, Jurgen Klopp's pre-match tactics were very rigorous, and the position between the players was very good, with Sven Bender and Gundogan's double midfielders enough to ensure the safety of the central defenders' front area, coupled with Tang Zheng's relentless running around, Barcelona did not create any decent chances.

Klopp was also targeted in his formation, and he used the faster Kuba to replace Gotze, which means that Kuba and Reus can form two sharp swords well and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

In addition, the problem that cannot be ignored is that Alves has accumulated three yellow cards in the first leg and is suspended, it is difficult to create opportunities with Messi or Pedro alone on the right side, and Alba is a little immature on the left side, and he is slightly lacking in coordination after only transferring to Barcelona last summer.

With a good defensive foundation, Borussia Dortmund also got some attacking chances.

Tang Zheng took into account the personnel and tactics of head coach Klopp, and he often took the initiative to retreat to get the ball.

It's not that Tang Zheng is afraid of Barcelona's defenders, but that Kuba, who replaced Gotze, lacks technical ability, and more retreat can carry the premise of Barcelona's entire backline.

With that going down, both Reus and Coopa will get space to sprint.

The game is very open.

In Marcel Leif's words, Barcelona have no way back and must score as soon as possible.

Successive attacks may bring great hidden dangers to the backline, but not scoring is self-defeating, and Barcelona have no choice!

In the fourteenth minute, Messi, who broke through continuously on the right rib of the attack, used Gundogan's supplementary defense to fake a real dunk to get a breakthrough opportunity at the top of the arc of the big penalty area.

Dutch referee Kupels blew the whistle and gave Subotic a yellow card.

"This position is a bit dangerous~" The central 5 commentator looked at the foul of Subotic and was a little worried: "The top of the arc of the big penalty area is on the right, about twenty-three meters away from the goal, and Messi has a ...... here"

"Whew-"

Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou saw Messi standing at the foul mark with a football in his arms, and they created a deafening cheer.

This position, Messi deserves it!

The tone of the Catalan TV commentator fluctuated significantly: "I have a strong premonition that Leao will open the scoring!"

Yan Junling, who was wearing the number 12 jersey, looked very nervous, and he occasionally used gestures to direct the wall to the left or right, until the referee Kupels asked.

Jurgen Klopp stood on the sidelines with his hands folded, looking very nervous.

Watch Messi's highlights, there are a lot of goals in this position!

But...... His worries seemed unwarranted.

Messi's free kick is more tricky, and the speed is okay, but Yan Junling's reaction and bounce speed have been qualitatively improved under the exercise of the footbonaut training room, and Messi's inevitable free kick is saved from the bottom line with one palm......

For Klopp and Dortmund fans, Yan Junling's performance ...... What a bonus.
