Chapter 70: The Calm Before the Storm
Chapter 70: The Calm Before the Storm
But just when everyone thought that Klopp was resigned to his fate, and it was simply just an inconsequential Super Cup, and if he lost, he would lose, but Klopp, who was still smiling bitterly just now, instantly changed his face to Sichuan Opera, changed his evil face without anger and self-authority, and then didn't even warm up, and directly asked No. 5 Kyle on the bench to go to the sidelines to prepare to play.
Then, more than 60,000 fans at the Allianz Stadium today witnessed Klopp directly take down No. 7 Leitner, who didn't seem to have any big mistakes, without playing in the first half, and replaced No. 5 Kyle, who was the absolute main force of the original team and had a slight injury.
The team is 2 goals behind, don't change the striker, change the midfield? Is Klopp missing a string in his brain or is it Watt?
At this time, fans watching this game on the sidelines will inevitably have such questions.
But how can they, the fans, understand the deep things on the court? Even if there were, it was a very small number of veteran fans.
Seriously, Dortmund saw that there was no problem with the whole team in this game, but they couldn't beat Bayern and were crushed by the opponent's pure strength! But is that really the case?
Objectively speaking, the group of players on the field of Dortmund, compared with Bayern, is not much stronger, at least not much different, otherwise it would not have completed 5 consecutive kills against Bayern in the past 2 seasons, after all, it is normal to win 1-2 times occasionally, and winning 5 games in a row is already very revealing.
So why did Dortmund play so badly today?
Klopp's notebook can tell you the answer! The midfield is out of control, and the midfield has little protection for the central defenders.
As the core of the team's offensive and defensive transitions, Gundogan, one of the team's two central midfielders, plays most of the role on the field to sort out the team's attack, and defense is neither his main task nor his job that Gundogan is good at.
Therefore, the other person in the back of the team has to contribute more in defence.
It's a shame that Leitner, who got a rare chance to start today, didn't finish the job, and even more seriously, he did a terrible job, even worse than his partner Gundogan.
If you think carefully about the two goals that Dortmund has conceded before, as well as the few chances created by Bayern, the attacking players have no trouble at all in the midfield, and they have the opportunity to face the Dortmund back line.
In light of this, how could Klopp possibly be polite to Leitner? As a well-known grumpy coach, Klopp didn't save any face for Leitner, and took it down before half-time.
With Kyle's arrival, the role he played was to fully explain to all the spectators who watched the game what it means to be a world-class coach.
No, after Bayern finally got a chance to counterattack, Kroos wanted to repeat his old trick and pass a long pass to Robben.
It's a pity that this time before Dortmund's defense had a chance to perform, Kyle, who had just come on the field, pressed Robben and directly destroyed the ball out of the sideline in advance.
After this excellent clearance, Kyle, who is the second-round captain of Dort, quickly applauded loudly again, leading the defensive enthusiasm of the back line.
On the other hand, Bayern seemed to be frightened by Kyle's momentum, and when throwing the sideline ball, Gustavo actually made a low-level mistake and threw the ball directly to the area where Kyle was, giving Robben a knife mountain ball, and letting the former fight with Kyle!
The body slammed into the force and easily pushed Robben aside, and in the face of such a big gift from the opponent, Kyle, who had no reason to miss it, easily took the ball.
With his right foot, he walked the ball towards the right front of his body, shook off Robben and looked up to observe the position of his teammates in the front court. This is the second place where Kyle is stronger than Lightner, in addition to the tough defense of throwing Lightner a few streets, Kyle is rare to be thick and thin, and there is such an accurate long pass!
Looking back at the court, he usually cooperated with Kyle many times in training matches, and Mu Yun, who knew that he had an accurate long pass, started his running position as soon as Kyle broke the ball.
When Kyle really sent a long pass, after calculating the landing point of the ball in his mind, Mu Yun did not go straight to the best place to control the ball, but rushed slightly to the side of the front for about 10 meters, closer to the middle of the court, this position, theoretically speaking, it is completely impossible to receive Kyle's long pass.
So why is Mu Yun running so much? Without him, the game went on for nearly 45 minutes, Bayern's left central defender Boateng was really like a dog skin plaster, never left the range of 3 meters around Muyun, the two people had many physical collisions in the first half, knowing that they had an advantage in their bodies, but Mu Yun, who had a relatively small advantage, simply took Boateng away after seeing Reuss inserted in the back row, and let Reus compete with Dante for the first drop point of the ball, and then use the strength of speed to fight for the second drop point with Boateng.
So Mu Yun chose to avoid fighting with Boateng, was Mu Yun instigated? No! Mu Yun is by no means cowardly, but playing football with his brain, a high-altitude ball like Kyle, even if he forcibly fights with Boateng, what if he wins? Under the interference of the opponent, Mu Yun can still stop the ball in place with his head?
So, wouldn't it be a better choice to let Royce, who is clearly in an advantageous position, fight for the first landing point?
It's too late, it's too late, and on the court, the ending of the battle between Royce and Dante soon proves the wisdom of Mu Yun's foresight.
After the two collided in the air, the ball bounced off Royce's scalp, and it bounced directly towards Mu Yun's location.
Grabbed the position in advance before Boateng reacted, and after the former reacted and stuck to himself from behind him, Mu Yun unhurriedly stuck the opponent firmly with his body, and his chest met the incoming ball lightly, and after the original plan to stop the ball, he passed the ball back to Reuss again, and Mu Yun, who collided with the wall with the former, suddenly had a hot head, and he didn't have that hallucination for a long time, and it appeared again - play volley, this ball can be scored!
Mu Yunna, who has already suffered many illusion benefits in his career, can still be polite with Bayern? Instantly put aside the idea of passing, the right half of the body violently exerted force, with Boateng who was just leaning on his body as the axis, Mu Yun forcibly took the opponent on the lawn up a 180-degree turn, and at the same time of turning, Mu Yun made everyone stunned to make a shooting action, bent the bow and arrow, turned around and swung his legs to volley in one go, after a crisp sound of "touch", the ball that just fell from the air, like a lightning, instantly changed the direction of travel, and went straight to the upper right corner of the Bayern goal.
I have to say that Mu Yun turned around and hit the volley this time so suddenly, he didn't even look at where the goal was, and he was still wrestling with Boateng a second ago, with his back to the goal? Who would have thought, or who would dare to think that Mu Yun would be able to shoot directly?
But the actual situation is that Mu Yun not only thought about it, but also actually did it, which led to the ball having flown into the penalty area, and Neuer reacted to the opponent's shot, even if it was as strong as Neuer, at this time, it was too late to react.
At this moment, the only thing Neuer can do is to pray that Muyun's shot is wide of the goal.
So will Mu Yun's shot go wide of the goal?
The answer is obvious, NO!
After completing the turn and shooting, Mu Yun, who fell to the ground, kept staring at the flying ball, and after repeatedly making sure that the ball really flew into the opponent's net, he got up from the lawn, didn't care about celebrating, and rushed directly to the opponent's goal!
This game is not only a battle of proof from Dortmund to Lewandowski, but also a battle of proof from Muyun to the world! He doesn't want to lose!
