Eriksen's whistle blew and the game began.

Wensheng and Klopp both stood on the sidelines.

As soon as Manchester City's side kicked off, the Dortmund players actively began to press the formation, and the high pressing began.

Milner passed the ball back to Van Dijk, Lewandowski and others immediately posted it, the purpose is very simple, not to let Manchester City in the backfield comfortable pass control health, Klopp obviously also knows that the core of Manchester City's defensive pass configuration is Toure and Van Dijk, and he also ingeniously let his players use man-to-man tactics to focus on Toure and Van Dijk when Manchester City is in control of the ball.

Does this trick work?! Useful!

Dortmund's boldness was something that Wensheng never expected, and Van Dijk and Toure were always able to keep up, which made many players in the backfield dare not play the ball to them, and without these two points, Manchester City's backfield control is not very good.

In the second minute, Milner ventured forward, but Dortmund played on the counter-attack, Götze broke down the flank and crossed, Van Dijk was half a beat slow, and Lewandowski fired a brilliant pass straight out of the net.

The opportunity came so easily that Lewandowski himself couldn't believe it, and the shot was a big failure!

"Milner needs to cut down on the ball like this!" Zhang Wei commented that Milner has no point of play at the back, and it is no problem to play the ball in the front court, but at this moment, you should not choose too risky passing, and if there is no Silva to form a tacit understanding, it is better not to play like this, it is better to simply find Dzeko.

"Borussia Dortmund are very good at using the transitions, what City need to do is to reduce the tempo of the transitions, reduce the number of ball exchanges, and be careful with the forward and backward passes! If Dortmund seizes such an opportunity, it will be a big trouble! Zhang Wei analyzed.

He Wei nodded again and again, he admired the professionalism of others, and joked: "Fortunately, Lewandowski didn't bring shooting boots!" ”

Zhang Wei nodded and said with a smile: "It's really out of standard!" ”

Jurgen Klopp was also happy and disappointed on the pitch, if only Lewandowski could take advantage of such a good opportunity to score an away goal.

"Recycling, David! David! Wen Sheng gestured, beckoning his players to retract, in this situation Dortmund forced too much, and the running was particularly active, Wen Sheng felt that the team should avoid Dortmund's edge, let the players adapt to it, you don't let me control, I want to control, and slowly play the state out.

At this time, the team closes the formation, consolidates the defense first, controls the ball, and allows the players to warm up and adapt to the intensity of the game.

It was only in the sixth minute that City had their first shot on goal, but this time it was the same as Dortmund's second-minute shot, and it was very threatening. Sister Literature Network

In the sixth minute, Manchester City controlled at the back, Dortmund's top grab was very ferocious, but Manchester City made an article on the side, De Bruyne, Silva, Milner, Zabaleta A few people's small-range crosses set up individual control, small-scale team, pass timing control, and even tore through Dortmund's defensive system, and finally Nasri shook off Subotic on the left side and shot, Weidenfeller took a lot of effort to seal the ball out of the bottom line!

Then City took another corner and Kompany headed a second shot, but this time it was a little worse than Nasri's and went over the crossbar.

"Daniel's coach pays a lot of attention to short passes, Klopp should not underestimate this, he should know that Manchester City has a lot of means in attack, the three-dimensional is relatively strong, and there are often some subtle combinations in the league!" Zhang Wei knows Wensheng very well, and Wensheng used to pay attention to this part in Crystal Palace, but at that time, Crystal Palace was a team that emphasized offensive speed, and it pulled down a lot in Manchester City's speed, and the exquisite cooperation seemed to be a lot more.

When Nasri shot, Klopp's heart went to his throat and Weidenfeller's god-like save gave him a sigh of relief.

He is not surprised or surprised that Manchester City has such ability, but he understands a truth, the benefits and risks are directly proportional, Dortmund does need to guard against Manchester City's inadvertent small range of a few people, but Klopp firmly believes that his team can also cause problems for Manchester City.

If it were a more defensive manager at heart, he might not have made the same choice as Klopp, but Klopp happens to be a forward-minded manager, so he is not at all moved by a threat like Manchester City.

As he expected, it is really impossible for Manchester City to play such an opportunity every time, and Dortmund's players are not vegetarians.

With the recovery of the formation, the retreat of De Bruyne, Silva and others, Manchester City's control level at the back has improved, whether Klopp wants it or not, Wensheng's tactical intention has been achieved, and he has relieved the opponent's high pressing crisis.

Fearing that City would take advantage of gaps in their defensive system, Dortmund had to foul to stop City's advance, but this was not a long-term solution after all, and Eriksen had already warned Dortmund's players two or three times.

In football, the discipline of defense is people-based, simply put, defense needs enough manpower, and a world-class goalkeeper and a world-class central defender are stationed in the backline, and there is a high probability that the problem cannot be solved.

Dortmund formation pressed, took measures to press high, dragged the defender from Weidenfeller far away, in the case of the high defense in front of the defense is not in place, Manchester City from the back control to attack, whether it is technology or speed, Dortmund's defense will be below, the gap between the defender and Weidenfeller is very likely to be used and cannot be filled.

So Dortmund had to use fouls, and it didn't work if there were too many fouls, so what should I do?! Retreating, consciously retreating to defend, filling gaps, in turn reducing the speed of Manchester City's advancement, so that Manchester City fell into a positional battle, Dortmund put the center of the defense in their own half, so that they can concentrate the defenders and rely on a tight standing joint defense rather than a single defense Manchester City attack.

"Alas!" Klopp sighed in his heart and was helpless, Manchester City's state began to pick up, but the attack was still not slow, the assists of the wingbacks on the offensive were really limited, and only Milner kept plugging in the back, the England national football team has a body, physical and abundant, like a mad dog, a large circle in the midfield is his footprints, his defensive skills are not good, but his body and speed are his dependence.

Jurgen Klopp's side will use tactical fouls to stop Manchester City's advance, and this is not the case on Wensheng's side, Manchester City will also use this method to deal with opponents, Milner's main target is Gotze, and Wensheng has given him the task of not focusing on Gotze, but saying that Gotze will be marked by him when he is moving in the middle.

When Götze goes to the wing, Milner's task becomes to help defence, and the first priority is to defend in the middle.
