Chapter 22 Players in the System

On the pitch, Dortmund's advantage became more and more obvious, playing very positively, giving people a feeling of passion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info They pass the ball quickly, run aggressively, fight fiercely, and show a winning momentum. The fans at the Signal Park Stadium in Iduna were also very powerful, constantly creating terrifying noises to cheer up Dortmund and intimidate visiting opponents.

In the twentieth minute of the game, Schmelzer cut in and sent a cross on the wing, but the ball was pushed out of the box by the Darmstadt defender, Guerrero faced the incoming ball and pulled his foot at the top of the opponent's penalty area to shoot long, but unfortunately the angle was too positive, and the opponent's goalkeeper easily defused.

'Guerrero's long-range shot went into the woodwork, but it was too far off...... 'Dicker commented.

In the 28th minute, Borussia Dortmund attacked from the right and Dembele sent in a cross from the right. Although Ramos, who was fighting for the top in the middle, grabbed the landing point, due to the interference of the opponent's defenders, he did not hit the ball square, and the ball bounced high and was jumped up by the opponent's goalkeeper to get the ball.

'Ramos was too reluctant to hit the ball with a direct header and the opposition had already taken care of his marking, so it might be a better option to be a team-mate......,' commented Dicker.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Guerrero took the ball back, and the follow-up Castro met the ball and shot angrily, but unfortunately the ball was blocked by Darmstadt back No. 18 Nemeier.

"Castro's shot was too casual, the defenders in the middle of Darmstadt were dense, and there was no threat from distance...... Dicker was not satisfied.

Dortmund started with the first goal in the seventh minute, and attacked the opponent's goal for nearly 30 minutes, the ratio of shots to goal between the two teams was three to one, and the ratio of possession was seven to three, Dortmund had an absolute advantage, but Dortmund did not expand the results, which made the two commentators who have been very calm a little anxious.

"It's really anxious to get scored, it's not safe to be 1-0!" Dicker was a little worried.

'Darmstadt especially saw that there were fewer players involved in the defence during this period, but they were very well positioned defensively and they were very thin in defending against Borussia Dortmund's players in front. Borussia Dortmund were still in the same way, with a lot of shots on goal, but they didn't create absolute chances. Rupert analyzed.

"Boris, it's not okay to go on like this, what do you think Dortmund should do?" Dicker couldn't help but ask.

'Quite simply, the two wingers Christian Pulisic and Ousmane Dembele have to step up their individual break-throughs, and if they can suddenly get close to the opposition baseline or break into the opponent's box to deliver a pass, the threat will increase exponentially; In addition, if Ramos gives up a direct header and removes to a header, the second attack threat may be greater; There is also the fact that forward Guerrero should add some hidden through balls, his lateral passes are too many and not too threatening; Finally, wait for your opponent to make a mistake! Rupert said his way.

"Man, your advice is great, but these suggestions are deceptively simple but actually hard to do." Dikel was a little depressed, "First of all, the two flanks broke through, Pulisic is difficult to break through one-on-one, Dembele may be able to do it, but he doesn't seem to be in form today; Secondly, Ramos is not a high striker, and Ramos seems to prefer direct headers to headers to do back; It was not easy to get Guerero to add a through ball again, and although the Portuguese had good skills at his feet, he was not playing as a midfielder before......"

"Then there is no way, you can only wait for the opponent to make a mistake." Rupert said helplessly, "Our first goal was caused by the opponent's mistake. ”

"But it's not a good idea to always wait for your opponent to make a mistake!" Dicker sighed, "If the opponent doesn't make a mistake, then we won't be waiting." ”

"Man, that's how Dortmund's tactics are, relying on quick attacks to press the opponent and force the opponent to make mistakes." Rupert explained, "Actually, this kind of tactical threat is quite big, after all, people are not machines, it is difficult not to make mistakes, plus our attack is very fast, constantly pressing the opponent, in this case, it is difficult for the opponent not to make mistakes." ”

'Boris, why did you complain about Coach Tuchel's tactics? Dicker turned off the headset and whispered.

'Man, I'm not complaining, I just want the team to have a lot more tactics to play with, with the current tactics of Thomas Tuchel, it's okay to play against teams that don't defend well, but it's more difficult against teams that defend well. In the German Super Cup, we were suppressed by Bayern, and we lost away against RB Leipzig, not because the opponent defended well, and there were no defensive mistakes! We should not base all our hopes on the mistakes of others, but should take the initiative to change, otherwise it will be difficult to compete with Bayern for the title! Rupert replied.

"You suggested that Pang start for this reason, right?" Dicker asked.

'Yes, Poon can make a difference to Dortmund's attack, that's why I strongly recommend him.' Rupert admitted, "Taking the initiative to change should be a necessary quality for a strong team, and almost every team in the European arena is both offensive and defensive, and the defense rarely makes mistakes." We should not wait for opportunities, but should take the initiative to change and create opportunities! ”

"I seem to know why Coach Tuchel doesn't like Pang very much, in addition to the conflict between Tuchel and Zolke, another reason is that Pang is not a player in the system, because Pang obviously shows more personal things than other players, and sometimes it may clash with Coach Tuchel's tactics!" Dicker was enlightened.

In fact, Dicker is really right, the fat man is indeed not a player in the system now. System players are those players who play beautiful games and statistics in one team system, and when they switch to another team with a different system, they cannot adapt to new roles, new teammates, and new coaches. When Fat Man played for Myburgh, he was actually a player in the system, but with the increasing improvement of technology, Fat Man has gradually grown into an out-of-system player. While adapting to Tuchel's tactics, the fat man is also using his individual ability to help the team, and can no longer be regarded as a player in the system, because the fat man now needs more freedom from Coach Tuchel on the field.

'Yes, Coach Tuchel has been heavily influenced by Pep Guardiola's tactics, playing football as a whole, passing football and demanding a lot from every player on the pitch. Players who show too much personal stuff, or play too casually, tend not to be liked by him, he prefers players in the system......" Rupert continued.

The last ten minutes of the first half were uneventful, with Dortmund attacking as fiercely as ever, but not sharp, and finally failed to break through Darmstadt's goal again. Darmstadt can occasionally play counter-attacks, but the threat is not great, under the pressure of Dortmund, Darmstadt's two backs do not dare to step forward to assist, resulting in only a handful of offensive players in Darmstadt's front, and the threat is not very big.

On the sidelines, the mood of the managers of the two teams changed 180 degrees, and Coach Tuchel, who had been sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai until now, finally couldn't sit still anymore and walked to the sidelines to give a loud command to the team. Borussia Dortmund's delay in scoring a second goal upset Thomas Tuchel's struggle; Coach Frings changed his previous anxious mood and gradually calmed down, although the team has not equalized, but the team at least did not concede another goal, which gave Coach Frings hope for an equalizer.

The emotions of the Dortmund fans in the stadium of Signal Park in Iduna slowly calmed down. A hint of melancholy began to appear on everyone's faces. After all, they have seen too many scenes that have not been attacked for a long time, and they often give people a bad premonition.

In the end, the first half ended, Dortmund did not change the score, leading the opponent by one goal.

"The team played well in the first half, but the result was not very satisfying, only one goal, too little!" Some fans discussed.

"yes, 1-0 is too unsafe, and it's easy to be equalized by the opponent. I don't know if coach Tuchel will let Pang play in the second half, the last Champions League game Pang played, the team scored three goals in 17 minutes, that is too efficient! Some fans chimed in.

"In this game, many of the team's main players are resting, otherwise they will definitely lead by a big score. However, I think in the second half, Coach Tuchel should change a few key players, and this game must be won, otherwise the difference with Bayern will widen. I just got the news that Bayern have a two-goal lead at home. A fan said.

"I think we should have played Pang and the games where Pang played, the team won. Only in the second round of the league did Pong not play, and as a result, the team lost away, Pang is now too important for Dortmund. A fan suggested.

"That's right, Pang is definitely an indispensable figure for Dortmund now, the Super Cup, the German Cup, the first round of the league, the Champions League, Pang has scored goals whenever he plays, which is the highest efficiency in the team. I don't understand why Coach Tuchel is reluctant to use Poon, is it really because of the conflict with Zolke, but the team's results are the most important thing! "Some fans expressed their dissatisfaction.

'Hopefully Pang will be available in the second half and the team has to win this game.' Some fans chimed in.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

At half-time, Dortmund made no personnel changes. Thomas Tuchel mobilised his players in the dressing room, recognising the effort they put in the first half and encouraging them to build on their efforts in the second half and score again as soon as possible. Coach Frings made two personnel changes, with left and right wingers No. 28 Benhattila and No. 6 Francecic replaced by No. 17 Sirigu and No. 14 Bezak respectively, and Frins was not satisfied with the performance of the two wingers in the first half.

'Boris, coach Tuchel didn't make any changes at half-time and the opposition made two changes in the winger position, what do you think?' Dicker asked.

'Coach Frings is looking for change and Thomas Tuchel has chosen to stay the same, so it's hard to say what the final result will be. Rupert replied, "The first fifteen minutes of the second half were crucial, whether Dortmund extended their lead or Darmstadt equalised, anything was possible!" ”

"Man, do you think Pang will make an appearance?" Dicker asked.

'I don't know, Tuchel's substitutions are usually between 60 and 70 minutes, and if the lead had been extended before that, Pang probably wouldn't have played; If the team doesn't score or the score is equalised, I think Tuchel might have put Poon on on the pitch. Rupert analyzed.

"If Pang doesn't play, Pang Ke will only play one game in three league games, which is by no means the treatment that a player with such a good performance should have." Dicker was indignant.

'Who knows, for coach Tuchel anything is possible.' Rupert said helplessly.

At the start of the second half, Dortmund launched an attack on the heart of Darmstadt, but Darmstadt did not retreat from all sides, they extended their defensive circle to near the midfield, and it was clear that Darmstadt was more resolute on the counter-attack.

While Coach Frins' intentions were very clear, the team went wrong again in execution. With 50 minutes played, Dembele made a diagonal cross and found Ramos in the box. This time, Ramos did not choose to shoot directly, but leaned on the defender, turned the ball back, and Guerreiro met the ball at the top of the arc and volleyed hard. Although Darmstadt goalkeeper No. 31 Ethel struggled to block the ball, because the ball was too powerful and fast, Ethel did not hold the ball in his arms, and was finally followed up by Ramos to score a follow-up shot.

"The goal is in, Ramos' goal!" Dicker shouted excitedly, "After Guerrero's shot was saved by the opposition goalkeeper, Ramos's clever follow-up shot gave Dortmund a two-goal lead at home." ”

"Ramos has made a contribution to this goal, and his return pass is very crucial." Rubeer commented, "When the opponent's two central defenders blocked Ramos's shooting angle, Ramos chose to pass back, giving Guereiro a chance to face the goal, and when Guerero shot, the opponent's goalkeeper's gaze was just shaken by his team-mate, resulting in a save and finally giving Ramos a chance to make a follow-up shot." ”

"Boris, the method you said in the first half really worked!" Dicker said excitedly, "Ramos is more dangerous when he pulls the ball back when he attracts defenders and creates shooting opportunities for his teammates behind him; Of course, this goal is also related to the opponent's goalkeeper saving the ball. ”

Rupert didn't speak this time, and his face suddenly darkened, because Rupert felt that the fat man's chances of playing were getting smaller and smaller.

The Signal Iduna Park Stadium was once again thunderous with joy and the fans were very excited, because the fans knew that the team had basically won the game. Because at home to Borussia Dortmund, there are very few teams that can come from two goals down and finally succeed in turning the tables around. The fans were elated, and the talk about the fat man's appearance gradually faded away.

On the pitchside, Thomas Tuchel was very excited, even more excited than when he scored the first goal, because he waited so long for the second goal, almost half-time. But fortunately he waited, otherwise Coach Tuchel would have really chosen to make a substitution.

Tuchel's original plan was to be ready to bring the fat man on if his side couldn't score again in the second half within ten minutes, after all, for him, victory always comes first. Although he was quite upset after seeing the report of the SΓΌddeutsche Zeitung, he decided to give the fat man a chance to come off the bench before the game. However, now that his side have a two-goal lead, he is not so anxious about bringing on the fat man, and Tuchel has decided to delay a few more minutes before making a change.

Coach Frings was grim-faced and depressed. Because Coach Frings felt that the adjustments he made at halftime were about to become a bamboo basket again. Coach Frings felt that he had too much luck today, in the first half the defender slipped and conceded the goal, and in the second half, the goalkeeper saved the ball and conceded the goal, which was not the result he could have expected before the game. Coach Frings knew there was only one way left for the team, and that was to get out of the way. Although reluctantly, Coach Frings gave the team the order to counterattack.
