Chapter Seventy-Six: Two Goals Behind

While both commentators and fans agreed that a second-half switch would have been a good option, Thomas Tuchel did not think so, with only one change at half-time in which he brought on Sergio Ramos with Schurrle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

'Oliver, it seems that we didn't guess the final answer correctly, Coach Tuchel didn't bring on Pom at the start of the second half, he just replaced Ramos, who didn't perform well in the first half, and it was Schurrle who came in for Ramos. Court's surprise was met.

'Court, maybe we're all in too much of a hurry, it seems that Coach Tuchel still trusts Aubameyang a lot.' Kahn said meaningfully, "But it was a good adjustment for Thomas Tuchel to bring on Sergio Schurrle, who was so poor in the first half that he didn't play well under Lahm's defence. ”

Not only were the two commentators puzzled by Tuchel's substitutions, but the fans at the scene also commented and expressed their opinions.

'I think Coach Tuchel is too conservative, in the second half of the first half, we were completely suppressed by Bayern, and in the second half it was difficult to completely change the situation with just one Schurrle, after all, Schurrle has always had minor injuries, how much can he help Dortmund?' Some fans are puzzled.

'I think we should play with a two-striker strategy in the second half, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is very difficult to make a difference up front, so it might be a good option to bring Poon up and use his body to hit the opposition's defence, because Poong's header is very threatening. Some fans suggested.

'It seems that Coach Tuchel still doesn't want to give up his tactics from last season, and he has chosen to continue to trust Aubameyang, and hopefully Aubameyang can repay Tuchel's trust with goals.' Some fans analyzed.

At the start of the second half, Borussia Dortmund reversed the sluggish momentum of the second half of the first half and attacked Bayern's position, and Schurrle on the right was the main direction of Dortmund's attack, and Tuchel coach hoped to use Schurrle's abundant fitness to break through Lahm's defence. The effect proved to be quite good, and in the 47th minute of the game, Schurrle managed to break through Lahm's defense in a confrontation, sending a cross from the bottom, and Aubameyang in the middle grabbed the ball under the interference of Hummels, but the ball did not hit the goal, because the ball was blocked by Martinez, another central defender of Bayern's defense, but the slow motion showed that Martinez was suspected of handball. The Dortmund players began to appeal to the referee, but the referee decided that it was an unintentional handball and did not award a penalty. The decision caused displeasure among the Borussia Dortmund players, and Aubameyang chased the referee and kept muttering something, and finally got a yellow card for himself.

'Martinez did handball and he defended with his arms wide and it was supposed to be a penalty. Courter was thrilled.

"Court, you're being too arbitrary to say that." Kahn retorted, "Martinez's arms are not open to expand the defensive area, he is just a knee-jerk defensive action when he is sacrificing himself to block the eye-catching, and even if the ball does not hit Martinez's arm, it will hit him, so it is impossible to award a penalty in this situation, and the referee is right." ”

The referee's blowing away Dortmund penalty made the Dortmund players on the pitch very unhappy, and even the coach Tuchel, who had been calmly directing the game on the sidelines, was very angry, and he threw his water bottle on the ground to vent his frustration. The penalty was too important for Borussia Dortmund, and if they couldn't score at the start of the second half, Dortmund would really not be far from losing, because even Thomas Tuchel knew in his heart that his team's backline would not be able to withstand Bayern's sharp attack.

Sure enough, after the game restarted, Bayern began to dominate the opponents and dominate. Schurrle, who was pinned on by Tuchel's coach, did not shine after that breakthrough, and Lahm used his experience to hold the defense again and again, so that Schurrle's breakthroughs were futile again and again, and the game was back under Bayern's control.

With 55 minutes to go, Bayern's sharp attack finally paid off. After a number of patient passes, Bayern midfielder Thiago suddenly sent a straight stopper, Lewandowski once again got rid of Baltra's defense and burst into the Dortmund penalty area, although this time Dortmund fullback Schmelzer assisted in defense in a timely manner, but Lewandowski did not choose to shoot, but crossed the middle, Muller, who was outflanked in front of Socoradis, did not choose to shoot, but leaked the ball, at this time the unguarded Vidal once again got the opportunity to face Dortmund goalkeeper Bilky, Although Virky struggled to block Vidal's first heavy shot, Vidal reacted quickly and got ahead of him and fired home from a tight angle with his right foot. Bayern finally broke through Borussia Dortmund and took a 1-0 lead.

'Vidal's stop-up shot...... Oh, the ball is in! "Borussia Dortmund didn't block Bayern's attack this time, and although Dortmund goalkeeper Bilki blocked Vidal's first shot, he didn't block Vidal's follow-up shot." Congratulations to Vidal, who helped Bayern take the lead. ”

"Vidal finally didn't waste another chance." Kahn commented with a smile on his face, "Wonderful coordination, beautiful goals, this is Bayern's style of play, Bayern's every attack has a high quality, which makes Bayern's attack more efficient." ”

"Oliver, don't be too happy, the game isn't over yet, today is a match at Signal Park in Iduna, with so many fans cheering on, Dortmund is not so easy to beat." Courtt was not convinced.

"Court, I admit you have a point, but you and I actually understand that Dortmund's hope of a comeback is already very small." Kahn analyzed, "Dortmund's current skills and tactics are obviously in the run-in stage, and it is impossible to play their full strength, and Bayern, like last season, is still a team with mature skills and tactics, so it is too difficult for this Dortmund team to beat Bayern." ”

Court's words were powerless to refute when he heard Kahn's words, because in his heart he agreed with Kahn's words. This Dortmund team is still in the run-in stage, whether technically or tactically, and there is indeed a big gap with Bayern at this stage, if this game is not held at Dortmund's home stadium, many Temund will not concede a goal, it is likely to be two or even three, and the offensive level of the two teams is obviously not at the same level.

Although he knew that Bayern was very strong, after being attacked by the opponent, the fat man was still very uncomfortable, and what was even more uncomfortable was that he could only watch and could not do anything. Although Bayern does not have many shots, every shot is very threatening, and Bayern rarely shoots blindly, and every time it almost breaks through the Dortmund defense, it chooses to shoot, which is an absolute chance. And Dortmund's offensive quality is much worse than Bayern, because it is difficult to penetrate Bayern's defense, Dortmund's shots are mostly concentrated outside the opponent's penalty area, occasionally can attack the hinterland of the opponent's penalty area, but also in a hurry, it is easy to be defused by the opponent's goalkeeper, it can be said that although Dortmund has a lot of shots, none of them is a really good opportunity.

Bayern's goal was a big blow to Dortmund's morale, but the Dortmund players did not give up on the game, and manager Thomas Tuchel also shouted loudly from the sidelines to cheer up the players on the pitch. The Dortmund fans at the Signal Park Stadium in Iduna sang the team song again to cheer the team on, and even Hummels couldn't bother to boo.

Borussia Dortmund are not a team to give up easily, especially at their home stadium at Signal Iduna Park, where they launched a frantic comeback cheered on by more than 80,000 fans.

In the 58th minute of the game, Aubameyang crossed from the left side of the front, Paslak inserted it back, and shot angrily at the middle of the Bayern penalty area, and Neuer saved the ball sideways!

In the 60th minute of the game, Dembele received a pass from Kagawa and fired a left-footed volley past Vidal and Xavi Alonso in front of the Bayern penalty area.

In the 62nd minute of the game, after receiving a pass from Schurrle, Kagawa hit the goal directly and vigorously at about 30 meters away from the Bayern goal in the middle, and Neuer easily held the ball in his arms.

During this period, Dortmund's attack was like a storm, but the attacking routine was no different from the first half, mainly focusing on long-range shots from outside the box. In front of the experienced Bayern defenders, in front of the main goalkeeper of the German national team, Neuer, Dortmund's attack did not pose much threat to the Bayern goal, after all, the world wave is not so easy to play.

'Borussia Dortmund's attacking routine is too simple, it's a long-range shot from the edge of the box, and it's not threatening at all. Court's face was helpless, "If Dortmund wants to get the score back, they should play more patiently, slowly look for opportunities, and strive to get a chance to shoot in the heart of the Bayern penalty area......"

"Court, what you're talking about is very difficult for the current Dortmund team to do." Kahn responded, "The chemistry between the players is not something that can be formed in a day, and this Dortmund team needs more time to develop the squad!" ”

Seeing that the team could not attack for a long time, and with the game going on 65 minutes, coach Tuchel made another personnel change. Replace the midfielder with Weigel.

'Oliver, what do you think of Coach Tuchel's change?' Court threw the question to Karn.

"Strengthen the organization of the midfield and liberate Castro." Kahn's answer was simple and straightforward, "Weigel has a great sense of the big picture, a precise pass, and a good organiser. After he came on the field, he could strengthen the control of the midfield, and Dortmund's attack was too impatient and too simple before, and it was difficult to pose a threat to Bayern's backline; In addition, after Weigel came on the field, Castro could put down the tasks he had organized before and attack with all his might, he was originally a player who was strong in attack and weak in defense, so this substitution also meant to strengthen the attack. However, Weigel's defense is worse than Rod's, so Dortmund's defensive ability has actually declined. ”

Kahn's analysis pretty much tells the story of Thomas Tuchel's substitutions, with Dortmund's only option being to step up their attack when they are down from behind, but the substitutions didn't produce the results Tuchel wanted.

In the 68th minute of the game, Bayern won a corner kick on a counter-attack, at which time many of Bayern's tall players came to the vicinity of the Dortmund penalty area, and Hummels, who was tormented by the boos of the fans in this game, also came to the front. After Lahm's corner, a Bayern player in the box jumped high and beat Socoradis to the ball. It was none other than Hummels, but instead of attacking the goal, Hummels opted for a header and the astute Muller stabbed the ball into the net before Paslak could clear it. Bayern doubled the score, leading Dortmund by two goals.

"Oh, Muller made a difference, his clever stab in front of goal helped Bayern extend the score." "Muller's goal should be thanks to the assist of his new teammate Hummels, who gave Hummels the opportunity to score with his header!" And Hummels, who has been plagued by boos, finally responded to his own by responding to the fans' boos with an assist against his former club for the first time, which was an incredible game......

"Okay, Court, don't be emotional, this kind of thing happens a lot on the football field, there's nothing to make a fuss about, you don't hate Hummelsla anymore." Karn quipped, "We should talk about the bet!" ”

"Oliver, I admit that your prediction of this game before the game was correct, Bayern is indeed more worthy of the championship, but I estimate that you are going to lose the bet, this game is still 20 minutes away, but Coach Tuchel has no intention of letting Pang play, so you definitely have no chance to win this bet!" Court's said earnestly.

"I think so at the moment, and it looks like I'm going to treat you to a drink after the game." Kahn said helplessly, "However, I have never understood why Coach Tuchel did not give Pang a chance, he has been in such good form lately and should help the team." ”

"That's almost the biggest question of the game." "Nobody knows the answer, except Coach Tuchel. ”

The home side were led by two goals by Bayern, something that the Dortmund fans at the Signal Park Stadium at Iduna did not expect, and the angry fans began to vent their frustration with boos, and the stadium was full of boos. And Hummels, who had just assisted Muller to score a goal, became the target of public criticism, and Hummel will face endless boos from the fans.

"Damn Hummels, damn traitor, you're not welcome at Signal Iduna Park, get back to Munich! Never come back! "There were fans who roared

'Why didn't Coach Tuchel let Pang play? Pong is Dortmund's most in-form player in recent times, so why not let him play? It was such a bad decision, we are about to see the damn Munich at home take away the trophy, it's so infuriating! "Some fans are puzzled.

'I think coach Tuchel should at least give Pang a chance, we're already 2-0 down, there's really nothing to scrutinize and the only one left to give the team hope at the moment.' Some fans suggested loudly.

At the moment, Coach Tuchel stood quietly on the sidelines of the pitch like a statue, without any expression on his face. Looking at the Bayern players on the pitch who were celebrating wildly, Tuchel knew his side had lost the game. In this game, his team played hard enough, but it still did not change the final result, which made him very depressed. After one last glance at the figure he had been expecting, Thomas Tuchel turned and walked to the bench to make one final change.
