Chapter 100: Draw Time
Asamoah's missed chance was Schalke 04's best chance in the first half, Zhang Yuan thought it would be almost impossible to have that chance again in the first half, and Schalke 04's players also thought it would be difficult to have that kind of chance.
Duan, the commentator of the sports station, was directly thundered by Asamoah's shot, and joked: "Asamoah, Asamoah, is this shot to help Dortmund clear the siege?" β
Tao said with a smile: "This shot is really out of standard!" If 90% of the credit for scoring this goal should be credited to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan was closely guarded by the opponent in the first half, there are few such breakthrough opportunities and space, it is rare to have such an opportunity, and if you miss it, you don't know when the next time will be. β
However, their idea is wrong, sometimes the opportunity will come inadvertently, only three minutes have passed, Schalke 04 got another chance, in the 31st minute, Kobiashvili forced in front, causing Kovac to make a mistake, the pass was broken, Kobiashvili crossed the middle, inserted Rakitic pulled out his foot and shot angrily, the ball hit Dede, rebounded to the feet of Asamoah, Asamoah did not make adjustments and shot directly on goal, hit the lower right corner of the Dortmund goal, and Schalke led Dortmund 041:0.
This goal made the Schalke 04 players boil, and also made the Schalke 04 fans from afar boil, this is a goal in the face, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Yuan and his teammates hugged Asamoah and ran towards the away team stands, and there were huge boos in their ears, but these are not important, the Schalke fans in the away team stands frantically stretched out their hands from the crack in the stand fence to get in close contact with the Schalke 04 players.
The celebration lasted for a long time, which caused even more boos from the Dortmund fans in attendance, but the referee did not say anything, and when the Schalke 04 players returned to the field, the Dortmund players were already waiting impatiently.
Dortmund, who lost the goal, is still not weak, after all, in their home stadium, more than 80,000 fans cheering, you don't want to cheer up a little difficult, they are inspired by the fans on the scene but played better than the front, and gradually took the initiative, under the dispatch of Tinga, the two wings are very active, and frequently use crosses to threaten the door of Schalke 04.
But the absolute chances they got weren't, and Schalke 04 have been solid at the back and have done well so far.
However, Dortmund also had good luck, the game was played at the end of the first half, in the 44th minute, the long-running Dortmund finally scored, but the goalscorer was not their player but Schalke 04 player, Dortmund Frederick crossed the bottom, Schalke 04 central defender Westermann accidentally touched the ball into his own door in the battle with Klimowitz, Dortmund equalized with this own goal.
Westerman was very annoyed, captain Bolton comforted his teammates, Westman is still very young, it is very uncomfortable for this kind of thing to happen, no one wants to own his own goal, and it is in such an important game, but the own goal is sometimes a matter of luck, the ball just now is luck, in the battle Klimowitz hit the ball, but he put it on Westerman's shoulder There is an obvious change of direction, so that Neuer is at a loss.
In this way, the two teams played a draw in the first half, and the sports station Duan said: "In such a fierce confrontation, the midfield operation of the two teams is far from smooth, and both sides do not get many opportunities, and it is estimated that the second half will continue to be such a stalemate, it depends on who can catch the opponent's mistakes!" β
Tao continued: "It's really difficult, the midfield ability of the two teams Schalke 04 and Dortmund can't be compared with the top teams, and they don't do a very good job in controlling the ball, and the style of the Bundesliga team is not to control the ball, today Schalke 04 wants to control the ball, but the result is not very ideal." See what the two teams have changed in the second half! β
In the second half, Slomka did not plan to change his overall tactics, but made some fine-tuning, this fine-tuning is mainly on the two wings, he asked Kobiashvili and Zhang Yuan to strengthen their individual breakthroughs, in the first half of the short pass penetration, the two people got not many breakthrough opportunities, in the second half the midfielder will give support to the two wings, using individual breakthroughs to create opportunities.
Dortmund played a single midfielder, and it was only in the second half of the first half that Kele moved up to help the front court grasp the initiative, but it also left a certain hidden danger for the defense, but Schalke 04 did not seize the hole.
In the second half, Dole decided to move the entire defence upwards, keep a distance from the midfield, give the midfielders enough support, and ensure the attack on both flanks. As for the three strikers on Schalke's 04 attacking line, Dole asked the back line to concentrate, maintain a good line, and make good use of offside tactics.
At the beginning of the second half, Dortmund still took the initiative, Schalke 04 three lines were not very good, Dortmund had the advantage of possession, but it was still difficult for them to attack the 30-meter area of the penalty area, Schalke's three midfielders began to tackle fiercely in the second half, making it difficult for Tinga to control the ball, and Kehl's passing ability was obviously not as good as Tinga, so although Dortmund had the advantage of possession, it was limited on both sides.
In the 56th minute, Dortmund Tinga took the ball, was sandwiched by Jones and Ernst, he was forced to pass the ball back to Kyle, Kyle received the ball and hit Kristadzic behind a long pass, the long pass was very accurate, but Frederick himself made a mistake and stopped the ball out of bounds, Kristadzic quickly sent the sideline ball to Jones, Jones immediately fell to the unguarded Rakitic, Rakitic made a long diagonal pass, and hit Robert. Behind Kovac, his long pass was also in place, Kobiashvili rushed up, held the ball well, dribbled the ball to the baseline, Ernst responded, and stuffed the ball straight into the penalty area, Asamoah stepped forward to grab the ball, but Dede kept following, he couldn't dodge the shooting angle, Asamoah knocked back to the front of the big penalty area with his heel, and the inserted Rakitic grabbed before Kyle tackled, shot hard, the angle was very awkward, and once again penetrated the gate guarded by Ziegler.
Schalke took the lead again at 042:1 on the away side, Rakitic ran to the corner area and came to a kneeling celebration like Zhang Yuan, and his teammates pressed him firmly under him, this goal did not Zhang Yuan did anything, but he attracted the defensive attention of Lukavina and Ameddick on the left side, and he also made a certain contribution to this goal.
Duan Mou of the sports station analyzed it like this, they are all their own players, and they must put gold on Zhang Yuan's face, and the goal has a lot to do with Zhang Yuan, his frontcourt is interspersed with running, attracting the attention of the opponent's two defenders, and reducing the defensive pressure on his teammates.
Dortmund, who lost the goal again, was very depressed, their defense did a good job, but just a negligence immediately gave Schalke 04 a chance, so judging a defender, the coaches first have to see whether his attention can be concentrated at any time to avoid human mistakes, just now it is obvious that Dortmund's defensive system is not very focused.
Slomka on the sidelines applauded happily, this goal allowed Schalke 04 to be more comfortable in the next to deal with Dortmund's changes, and Dortmund's Dole has not made any adjustments for the time being, to be honest, he has no cards in his hand to adjust, Frey's form has plummeted after being injured this season, ValdΓ©s' ability to break through and shoot is relatively average, and the midfield is already the best combination, in order to do a good job in defense, he has brought Klinger up to play full-back, what else?
Helplessly waved his hand, the game continued, at this time Dortmund's goalkeeper Ziegler made a substitution gesture, it turned out that he fell and injured his shoulder during this save, and could no longer insist on the game, Dole had no choice but to replace the third goalkeeper Bud, Dortmund's main goalkeeper Weidenfeller did not play in this game due to injury, and the second goalkeeper Ziegler was injured at this time, Dortmund's luck was really unlucky!
Dortmund's bad luck was not over, as just five minutes later, centre-forward Klimowitz suffered another muscle strain in a pressing upfield, and Dole was forced to replace Klimowitz with Ferry.
Despite Dortmund's bad luck, they did not lose their courage on the pitch, and Dole still demanded that the team play high and avoid entanglement in midfield when they were behind.
His decision paid off on 74 minutes, with Borussia Dortmund playing a fine link-up. Tinga raced from the left centre circle and shook Jones and Zhang Yuan in quick succession before passing to Frey, who cleverly crossed to Petrits, who headed home in front of goal to equalise.
This goal greatly encouraged Dortmund's momentum, the fans on the scene made a tsunami shout, Zhang Yuan hated in his heart, this ball can not be intercepted is not his problem, his defensive ability is already very poor, he is not satisfied that he then followed Tinga, but the timing of the opponent's pass is very good, did not give Zhang Yuan, Jones the opportunity to wrap up, directly passed to Frei, if only one step faster, Tinga will not be able to pass the ball.
Slomka shook his head on the sidelines, Zhang Yuan went to defend Tinga obviously can't prevent it, it is useless to defend just with reaction speed, the key is to intercept accurately, Zhang Yuankong has reaction speed, but the interception ability is very poor, it is normal to be by Tinga, and if Tinga takes a few more meters, Zhang Yuan will definitely stick to him.
Such a score is obviously not what Dortmund is willing to accept, and this result is not acceptable to Schalke 04.
The next two teams defended cautiously and used long balls at the same time, with Slomka putting Sauron. Larsson came on the field and replaced Asamoah, apparently trying to take advantage of Larsson's high point, and also replaced Kobiashvili with Altentop Jr., who is not short in height and is a little stronger than Kobiashvili in shooting, and Slomka wants to use the two tall forwards in the front court to impact Dortmund's backline.
