Chapter 132: Halftime Lead

Borussia Dortmund's corner was no threat and was easily cleared by the Schalke 04 players. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

From this period of time, it can be seen that Dortmund gradually occupy a little above, and there is nothing wrong with Magath's arrangement in the central midfield.

Today's derby is not an ordinary league, and the reason why a derby is a derby is far from the intensity of the usual league round.

Therefore, the midfield hoards good defense, and there is no problem with players who can fight, but the opening 20 minutes are as Magath expected, and the referee's miserliness does not mean that the battle is not tragic, on the contrary, everyone competes quite fiercely, and people turn on their backs and start to fight from every corner of the court.

However, Schalke 04's midfield youth combination is young and energetic, but over time it still exposes many problems, such as indecisiveness and poor organizational skills.

Dortmund took advantage of their momentum and gradually mastered the situation on the field, and the field of contention gradually moved to the half of Schalke 04.

Magath couldn't sit still in the dugout, he stood on the sidelines and constantly instructed his players to defend carefully.

Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp, who was a few metres away from him, was also on the sidelines, and he demanded that his players press hard in front.

Klopp actually knows that there is nothing to lose this game, no matter how bad the record is, it will kill him, and he always believes that his Dortmund will always win, because the team is completely under his control, and he is confident that Dortmund will return to glory.

But he is not willing to lose, why not take down the mortal enemy and boost the morale of the army.

Magath is defense-oriented in the starting lineup, but Klopp is not like this, Klopp he has his ideas, no matter who it is, he is to play the offensive card, use high pressing, use fast-paced offense, and directly defeat the opponent.

In his philosophy, conceding a goal is not a scary, as long as you score one more goal than your opponent.

So Dortmund just kept moving forward, moving forward, and the team faithfully executed his tactical intentions, and now has a faint upper hand.

In the 25th minute, Dortmund got a great chance again, Schalke 04 central defender Sambrano cleared not far away, Barrios shot the periphery and hit Digan into a hanging shot, and Neuer, who was shaken, slipped and fell, but luck was on Schalke's side this time, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced to the goal line!

The ball was quickly hugged by Neuer, and then Neuer looked around as if he was fine, and saw that Zhang Yuan on the left was unmarked, and immediately threw the player to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan took a few steps forward with the ball, attracting the attention of Subotic's defense, and then a diagonal straight stop, Kuranyi crossed Santana forward, but the ball Zhang Yuan passed a little wide, Kuranyi tried his best to stab in the end, but the power was not great, the ball speed was not fast and was pounced on by Weidenfeller.

They were attacking but didn't know that Schalke 04 had already made a fuss at the back because of Barrios's shot just now.

Several Dortmund players Barrios, Zidan, Shaheen, Tinga and others surrounded the referee, signaling that the ball had just crossed the goal line, and Neuer and his teammates at the back were adamant otherwise.

"Sir, this goal has crossed the goal line! Definitely a goal! ”

"Definitely didn't go in! I saw that the ball didn't cross the goal line in its entirety! Neuer argued loudly to the referee.

In fact, Neuer didn't know that the ball didn't cross the goal line, and he couldn't confirm whether the ball had crossed the goal line as a whole between the calcium carbide fires, but he had to fight.

The referee had no choice but to ask the linesman if he could see that the linesman's position was not near the bottom line, and there was a certain angle misunderstanding, and he could only tell the referee that he didn't know whether he had crossed the goal line.

The linesman didn't say anything, and the referee returned to the pitch to finally make up his mind and ruled that the goal was invalid and that the goal had not been scored.

Slow motion showed that it was difficult to tell if the ball had crossed the goal line in its entirety, but at least half of it was already inside the line.

Klopp on the sidelines began to vent his anger loudly, but when the referee's final ruling came down, he could only shake his hands helplessly, and his face smiled even more.

The expression was like saying, "That's too fake!" Goals can off, this is my home stadium! ”

Magath was silent, presiding like a judge, but fortunately the final ruling was in favor of Schalke 04.

The Borussia Dortmund players continued to start the game with a full stomach full of complaints, but the players of Schalke 04 had a feeling of lingering feelings.

Zhang Yuan complained a little about Kuranyi, because the counterattack just now hit Schalke 04 and would take the lead, and he thought that Kuranyi started too late.

Kuranyi is different, he thinks that Zhang Yuan's pass is too big, and he can't reach it at all!

The Schalke 04 players didn't seem to have woken up yet, while Borussia Dortmund were unaffected, with waves of attack raising and dropping high, making it doubtful that they were going to concede goals soon.

"The situation at Schalke 04 is not good now! Dortmund are attacking fiercely now, and it seems that they are not affected by the referee's decision just now! Duan Xuan said.

"The passing error rate on Schalke 04's side is too high, and these young players sent by Magath have worked hard, but they can't control the scene! It's really bad luck to go on like this! Tao Wei continued.

"Zhang Yuan's state today doesn't seem to be very good, and he frequently falls into hand-to-hand combat with the other party!" Duan Xuan said.

"Hehe, he can't be blamed for this, the derby is so intense! And he doesn't seem to have played on the wing for a long time, and this game was unexpectedly placed on the side and is not very comfortable! But his threat is definitely there, and the pass he just gave to Kuranyi could have helped Kuranyi score! Tao Wei thinks so, and he also thinks that Zhang Yuan's pass to Kuranyi is a little bigger.

"If you pass small, you may not be able to evade Santana's interception!" Duan Xuan added.

There are often such misunderstandings on the court, and the authorities and bystanders may not be clear, Zhang Yuan really thought what Duan Xuan said at that time.

Passing the ball needs timing, strength, and route must be accurate, Zhang Yuan thinks that if he passes a little harder just now, he is likely to be intercepted by Santana, and he needs to be heavier.

It's right or not, it's really public that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable.

As the game progressed, Dortmund at home almost knocked on the door several times, but football matches are always so dramatic, and Schalke 04, who had no chance and was quite passive, took the lead in breaking the deadlock afterwards.

In the 34th minute, Schalke 04 launched a quick counterattack, Knya divided the ball, Zhang Yuan ran wildly with the ball, a smash action temporarily shook off Owomoyela, and then passed to the back of the penalty area on the left side, the ball passed through the heads of three Dortmund defenders, and the unguarded Farfan in the penalty area pushed the goal, 1-0!

Schalke 04 actually took the lead, Farfan excitedly wanted to take off his shirt to celebrate, but unfortunately he couldn't take it off, and finally had to give up and run to the sideline to celebrate.

Zhang Yuan, Kuranyi and other Schalke 04 players, several substitutes who warmed up on the sidelines all followed, pressing Farfan heavily under him, celebrating wantonly.

This goal is so important, Schalke 04 has been passive until now, if it weren't for a few defenders blocking the eye, Neuer high to block it, Dortmund would have been at least 3 or 4 goals ahead.

Under this high-pressure situation, Schalke 04's military morale is inevitably turbulent, and Dortmund can become more and more fierce, which has a lot to do with the low morale of Schalke 04 and the difficulty of playing normally.

So this goal is really important to lift the morale of the Schalke 04 players.

Magath was also very excited on the sidelines, and he could see the passivity on the sidelines, but he didn't think he was wrong, scoring this goal, and this game will be more hand-to-hand combat.

Klopp roared loudly on the sidelines, Schalke 04 said that the goal was a counterattack, but Dortmund still had at least four players in the backfield, and no one made up for him after Schmelzer went up, allowing Farfan to easily move forward to the back post, which is really unforgivable.

Subotic, Santana, and Hummels looked like ashes, and it was the three of them who returned to the penalty area just now, but Santana and Hummels obviously had a little misunderstanding in coordination, and they didn't go to the back point, but focused on Kulanyi.

As opponents, they know very well that Kuranyi is a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and no matter how bad the state is, they can't be underestimated, but they miscalculated, Zhang Yuan did not pass Kuranyi but aimed at Farfan, who was inserted in front.

The leading Schalke 04 morale was greatly boosted, began to stabilize the situation on the field, and the two sides began to fight with each other again, Dortmund failed to take advantage, Schalke 04 is difficult to make a big difference with that muscular midfield, but Zhang Yuan seems to be alive at this time, no matter how many people defend, he still jumps up and down.

However, the score at the end of the first half was still 0:1, Schalke 04 temporarily lead, and what tricks Dortmund will use to fall behind depends on how Klopp adjusts. (To be continued.) )
