Chapter Seventy-Five: The Situation Reverses
"Court, did you see that? Borussia Dortmund's on-field dominance is gradually being lost. "Kahn, who has been passive before www.biquge.info actually took the initiative to speak this time, "Bayern is a team with good offense and defense, which is why I said before the game that Bayern can win, which is incomparable to Dortmund." β
Seeing Karn's smug smile, Court was very depressed. The position of the two in this game is actually very clear, because Kahn is a Bayern legend and must support Bayern Munich, so Court chose to support Dortmund. It's a pity that Dortmund's performance on the field made Court very disappointed, so many chances, so many shots could not be exchanged for a goal, which made Court very speechless. What made Court even more depressed was that after withstanding Dortmund's attack, Bayern launched a counterattack, which was very sharp.
With 35 minutes played, Bayern had their first threatening shot on goal since the opening kick-off. Muller broke through Schmelzer's defense on the right side, successfully crossed the bottom, and Aubameyang, who retreated to the vicinity of the penalty area to participate in the defense, did not kick far when he cleared the ball, and was seized by Bayern midfielder Vidal, who shot the ball from outside the penalty area, and the ball was slightly off the right post, which was very dangerous, and shocked Dortmund goalkeeper Bilki in a cold sweat.
"Wow, Vidal's long-range shot, it was brilliant, it was just a fraction of a goal, it's a shame!" Kahn took the initiative to applaud, and it was clear that Kahn was very happy with Bayern's performance during this period.
'Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang didn't kick the ball wide when defending, which was a rare mistake. Courte was in a bad mood, "Aubameyang except for the opening shot was blocked, this time seems to be invisible, he can't be seen on the offensive end, and there are mistakes in defense, it seems that the Gabonese has been in bad form recently." β
"Court, you've finally got the hang of it." Kahn said with a smile, "Carlo Ancelotti started Hummels to keep an eye on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and although Hummels started with boos from the fans, he has recovered from his game. With Hummels' ability and his familiarity with Aubameyang, Aubameyang will be limited even if he is in good form, not to mention that he is not in good form now, so the balance of this game has tilted in favor of Bayern! β
"Oliver, you're too optimistic. In addition to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Borussia Dortmund's other players played well, such as Dembele and Kagawa, who were very dangerous with their shots, but they lacked a bit of luck. Courtt shot back.
"Luck is also part of the strength, compared to last season, Dortmund's front line has changed too much, and it is no longer the team that attacked sharply last season. In the first 30 minutes of this game, although Dortmund attacked fiercely, the quality of the attack was not high, although there were many long-range shots, but they were all shot in a hurry, and the threat was not great. Karn retorted.
Courter knew that Kahn's analysis was right, and before commenting on this game, Courter did a lot of homework, plus Dortmund and Bayern Munich are both strong teams in the Bundesliga, and Courter can be said to be very familiar with the two teams. In the past, Dortmund's offense was a combination of the side and the middle, and the bottom cross from the side created a chance for Aubameyang in the middle to grab points, relying on Aubameyang's speed and explosiveness to grab points to score; In the middle, Aubameyang plays the role of the fulcrum, using Aubameyang's pulling and back-passing in the box to create shooting opportunities for other players in the field. But there were problems on both fronts today, first of all, there was a problem with Dortmund's wide break, because Bayern's two full-backs Lahm and Alaba have strong individual defensive ability, which made Dortmund's two wide players encounter very big resistance in the breakthrough. Ramos did nothing under Lahm's defense, although Dembele had the opportunity to tear apart Alaba's defense, but Alaba rarely gave Dembele the opportunity to cross the bottom, only gave the opportunity to cut inside, so that Aubameyang in the middle rarely got the opportunity to grab points, which made Aubameyang's strongest weapon lose its speed and explosiveness; Aubameyang's fulcrum role in the middle has not been played, because the defense of Aubameyang is a former teammate Hummels who is very familiar with Aubameyang, Aubameyang is very awkward in attacking, plus every time he takes the ball in the penalty area, he is almost always facing away from the goal, under the defense of tall Hubmels, Aubameyang is difficult to get the ball every time, let alone connect the team, so Aubameyang's fulcrum role cannot be played. The core tactics were cracked by Bayern, making Dortmund's attack more and more difficult, and they could only rely on long-range shots from outside the box to threaten Bayern's goal, but unfortunately Neuer played well today and defused Dortmund's many long-range threats.
On the field, Bayern's advantage became more and more obvious, and began to besiege Dortmund, although Dortmund occasionally counterattacked, but the quality was not high, every time it was thunder and rain, and finally hastily done. Even the fans watching the game understood that the situation on the field had reversed and Bayern was beginning to take the advantage.
With 37 minutes played, Bayern had another chance. Lahm cut in and sent in a through ball for Lewandowski to break through to Bartra's defence, and although Socoradis was well-versed in a timely effort to block Lewandowski's shot, it couldn't block the Pole's pass. Lewandowski's light pick pass handed the ball to Vidal who was inserted in the middle, who headed the ball at close range unmarked, but Dortmund goalkeeper Bilki reacted quickly and subconsciously blocked Vidal's shot with his hand, but the ball magically rebounded in front of Vidal, but unfortunately Vidal still did not seize the opportunity, and his close follow-up shot was blocked out of bounds by Schmelzer who returned to the defense.
"This ball is too dangerous." "Vidal's two attacks are very threatening, and if it weren't for the heroic play of Dortmund goalkeeper Bilki and Schmelzer's timely defense, Bayern would have scored first." However, through Bayern's attack, we can also see that Bartra struggled to defend Lewandowski, and the Pole relied on good physical fitness and skillful foot skills to easily break through his defense. β
'It's a shame that Vidal lacks some luck.' Kahn looked regretful, "But Bayern's momentum has risen, Dortmund is dangerous, everyone can see that Bayern's offensive quality is much higher than Dortmund." β
Before the cold sweat on Court's forehead could be wiped away, Bayern's attack returned. In the 40th minute of the game, Bayern winger Ribery broke through Paslak's defense and successfully passed the ball in the bottom triangle, and Muller, who followed up in the middle, directly pushed the shot, but unfortunately Muller's shot was too angle-oriented, and the ball was denied by the goal post, and Dortmund escaped.
"Dortmund must strengthen their defense, in less than three minutes, Bayern have broken through Dortmund's defense twice, if it weren't for Bayern's bad luck, maybe the score would have been rewritten." Court was angry and could tell that he was unhappy with Dortmund's defence.
This time Kahn didn't make a sound, just looked at Court with a smile on his face, although Kahn also felt sorry for Muller's push just now, but Kahn knew that Bayern had basically controlled the game, and it was only a matter of time before Kahn won, and it was Kahn's worried appearance for Dortmund that made Kahn happy.
The expression on the fat man's face was very solemn at the moment, this was the first time the fat man watched Bayern's game, and the first time he watched the game of Dortmund's biggest rival up close. The fat man came to the conclusion that Bayern Munich is very strong, at least a notch higher than Dortmund's.
The fat man was also reluctant to come to this conclusion, but the facts in front of him speak for themselves. Every player on the Bayern stadium is very strong and has strong individual ability, and after being pinched together by the famous coach Carlo Ancelotti, his overall strength is even stronger. Bayern's strength is first reflected in his well-balanced attack and defense, with almost no shortcomings; Secondly, it is reflected in his stability and control, he can not lose the ball in adversity, and he can control the game in good times and drag the game into his favorite rhythm. The fat man knows that Dortmund's only chance is to fight for the opponent, play the speed that he is good at, rely on the advantage of young physical strength, and disrupt the rhythm of Bayern's game, once he is entered into Bayern's rhythm of play, Dortmund is not far from losing.
The fat man was thinking about countermeasures on the bench, but he didn't expect a sudden change on the court. The players of the two teams suddenly gathered together, looking tense. It turned out that when Ribery and Paslak were competing for a header just now, Ribery had an elbow to Paslak, although Passath did not suffer any damage, but it caused Paslak's dissatisfaction, after the two landed, Paslak pushed Ribery with his hand, and then the two of them rose up, and then the veteran Xavi Alonso will also enter the team, the scene began to be chaotic, but fortunately, the referee of the game made a decisive shot, and three yellow cards in a row controlled the game. Franck Franck Ribery and Xavi Alonso each received a yellow card.
"Oh, Ribery's header wasn't very friendly, his elbow was almost on Paslak's neck, it was an additional hurtful move, a yellow card couldn't run away; However, Paslak is a little uncalm, Ribery will definitely be punished by the referee, and Paslak's additional push action is expected to attract him a yellow card; Xavi Alonso's behaviour bothered me the most, as instead of pulling away team-mate Ribery, he argued with Paslak and almost led to an escalation of the conflict, which necessitated a yellow card...... "Tester commented.
"A yellow card for each of the three is a reasonable result." Kahn commented, "Although this kind of thing is inevitable on the court, I still hope that both teams can calm down, and fans are not ...... to buy tickets to watch boxing matches"
This skirmish made the smell of gunpowder between the two teams obviously stronger, and the defensive actions of the players of the two teams involuntarily increased, but fortunately, it didn't take long for the first half to end, and the two teams finally fought 0-0 in the first half.
'It was a really good game, the pace was very fast and the players from both teams were fighting very aggressively. In the first 30 minutes, Dortmund had the advantage, and in the second 15 minutes, Bayern were in control, but neither team scored a goal, which made the game a little regrettable, and I hope that both teams can play better in the second half...... "Courter gave high praise to the performance of both teams in the first half.
"There is no doubt that it was just a good match, but the result of the game could have been announced in advance, and that was that Bayern Munich would win the title. I didn't come to this conclusion out of thin air, but based on the performances of both teams on the pitch. Everyone can see that Dortmund's attack is difficult to break through Bayern's goal, which has nothing to do with technique and tactics, but the gap in strength, the reason is that Dortmund has taken many main players in the front, and their attack power has decreased a lot compared with last season; It was much easier for Bayern to break through Borussia Dortmund's goal, and the reason why they didn't score at the end of the first half was just because Bayern Munich lacked some luck, and I don't think Bayern Munich would have wasted those chances in the second half, so the result speaks for itself......" Kahn said.
Although he knew that Kahn's analysis was correct, Court was still not convinced, because as long as the game was not over, Court would not be willing to admit defeat, not to mention that Dortmund still sat on the bench with the hottest star in recent form - Pong, which gave Court hope.
"Oliver, don't jump to conclusions, there are still a lot of quality players on the bench at Borussia Dortmund. For example, Pang who has been following you before is one of them, and I think he will definitely play in the second half, so it is too early for you to draw conclusions. Courtt retorted.
"Court, I admit that Pang is an unknown factor for Dortmund, but with Dortmund's current frontcourt configuration, it is difficult for Pang to change the situation even if he plays, but Pang can bring some changes to Dortmund's frontcourt, and I expect Pang to play well." Karn responded.
"Oliver, you don't really want Poon to break through Bayern's goal, do you?" Courter asked rhetorically.
"Why not? I don't want to lose my bet. "Although I know that Pong's appearance will cause some problems for Bayern Munich, it is difficult to change the result, and Bayern will definitely be the champions."
"Oliver, I think in addition to Pang can bring changes to Dortmund, the new signings Gotze and Schurrle may also play in the second half, they are also very strong players, and they are also unknown factors for Dortmund." Courter retorted.
"Court, I'd like to say that Schurrle might be able to bring some changes to Dortmund, but GΓΆtze will forget it. Gotze hasn't played for a long time and although he's back at Dortmund now, from what I know about Gotze, he's in a recovery period right now and it's hard to help the team. Kahn analyzed.
Kahn and Court were analysing the second half of the game, and fans online were not idle, leaving comments to express their thoughts on the game.
"As far as the first half goes, Oliver Kahn's commentary was accurate. Although he is as arrogant as ever, his judgment of the trend of this game is still very accurate, and it is indeed difficult for Dortmund to compete with Bayern Munich in terms of strength at the beginning of the season! A fan left a message.
"I have to say that the current strength of the Dortmund team has indeed dropped a lot compared to last season. With Reus, Gundogan and Mkhitaryan not on the pitch, it feels like Dortmund's attack has dropped at least a notch, and Dortmund's only chance in this game is to fight. "Second floor
"Dortmund is a young team now, it takes time for newcomers to grow up, I just hope that players like Gotze and Schurrle can get into form as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for Dortmund to compete with Bayern for the title in the new season." Third floor
"I think the most anticipated thing on Dortmund's side in the second half is Poon, I have seen Pang turn the tide many times in the warm-up game to help the team, and I hope Pang can also help Dortmund this time." Fourth floor
'Hopefully Pong will be brought on as soon as possible in the second half, he is the player who is most likely to change Dortmund's passive situation at the moment, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sergio Ramos have to be replaced, they were in terrible form today.' Fifth floor
