On the evening of October 24, West*** Stadium.

In the third round of Group D of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid challenged Dortmund away.

In the dressing room before the game, Jurgen Klopp was given a starting line-up for Real Madrid, and the result surprised him.

"It's not Fermaren." Klopp's brow furrowed.

It's not strange or unusual to guess the opponent's starting line-up incorrectly, but it can be big or small to guess Real Madrid's starting line-up.

Judging from the starting list, Ancelotti's goalkeeper in this game is still Casillas, the central defender is still a combination of Pepe and Ramos, the midfielder is the Spanish combination of David Silva, Xavi Martinez and Xavi Alonso, and the front is Hazard, Yang Yang and Di Maria.

The only puzzling thing is that Carlo Ancelotti brought Cesar Azpilicueta and Carvajal on at the same time.

What does that mean?

Who the hell is on the left side of the two?

Carvajal is good at attacking, Azpilicueta is good at defending, who will appear on the left wing?

It's a real headache.

Borussia Dortmund's starting line-up tonight is also the main force, with goalkeeper Weidenfeller, Schmelzer, Hummels, Subotic and Piszczek at the back, Sven Bender and Sebastian Kehl in midfield, both of whom are known for their defensive midfield, while Grosskreutz, Gotze and Reus up front, and Lewandowski as a single striker.

It should be said that this is the strongest lineup that Dortmund can platoon.

"I don't have a choice now, I can't hesitate, I can only persevere." Bwach said.

Klopp nodded.

For this game, he even gave up last weekend's league game, resulting in Dortmund's home defeat, because he knows very well that against Bayern Munich, who have won eight consecutive domestic league games, Dortmund has little chance of hitting the league title this season, but in the Champions League, the Hornets can still rush.

This is not only Klopp's idea, but also the idea of Dortmund's management, because the Champions League results are rich.

"Stick to the original tactical style of play and see what the hell Ancelotti does."

……

Dortmund's home atmosphere was terrifying, with nearly 66,000 fans, sitting and standing, making an overwhelming and uniform noise in the stands, sweeping the entire stadium as if the heavens and the earth were trembling.

The Hornets have a lot in common with Real Madrid, for example, both teams are young, both are good at passing through the midfield with fast and concise passes, both are good at pressing high positions, both are good at counter-attacking defense, and both are good at two wings......

There are too many similarities that make this match even more exciting and suspenseful.

But as soon as the game began, everyone was surprised to find out that Dortmund had changed.

On their home turf, the Hornets suddenly stopped pressing from a high position, no longer emphasizing the pressure of the midfield, but decisively retreated and fell into position, contracted the defense, and took the initiative to give up the ball in the midfield, allowing Real Madrid to pass the middle line smoothly.

This is a very surprising thing, because Dortmund has always liked to press forward, suddenly retracted, and took the initiative to give up the ball, and focused on defending and counter-attacking, which has to be said to be a very puzzling thing.

Real Madrid opened to seek stability, but the result was that the opponent took the initiative to show weakness, which caught the Galaxy Battleship a little off guard, and did not take the initiative to press the attack, but advanced slowly and methodically, until the fifth minute, Real Madrid completed the first shot of the game, from Di Maria's volley on the right side of the penalty area.

It wasn't until the 11th minute that Dortmund played their first organised attack, advancing to the 30-metre zone of Real Madrid, where Reuss received the ball on the right and tried to force a break through Azpilicueta, but was unsuccessful, leaving himself isolated on the right and forced to hit the Spanish defender and bounce off the line.

A Dortmund corner then resulted in a shot on goal but failed to threaten.

……

"Klopp should be surprised by now, right?" Zidane smiled.

The surprise he was talking about was not a breakthrough on the pitch, but the presence of Cesar Azpilicueta on the left.

The Spanish defender has always played at right-back, but he is proficient with both feet and after injuries to Marcelo and Arbeloa, Carlo Ancelotti tried to make a cameo for him at left wing-back, and he did well in training.

Still, Carlo Ancelotti was not reassured because against Borussia Dortmund, defending Reuss was important, so he tried to play Fermaelen at left wing-back, but against Celta Vigo, Fermaelen was more average on the left flank, so he started Azpilicueta tonight.

Real Madrid's game strategy is very simple, Azpilicueta on the left is good at defending, Hazard is suppressing in the front, and the whole is still mainly defending, but on the right side with Di Maria and Carvajal, it is to attack with all his strength, play the threat of Real Madrid's right side, and suppress Dortmund's left fullback Schmelzer.

Klopp is also a manager who does not dare to take risks easily, even at home, in the face of the remnants of Real Madrid, he still discharged two defensive midfielders, which shows how jealous he is of Real Madrid.

But tonight, Real Madrid didn't come to keep the draw, they wanted to win!

…………

…………

Real Madrid's opening kick went well.

Dortmund took the initiative to retreat and defend, and Real Madrid successfully controlled the ball and the situation, with Carvajal and Di Maria on the right side as the main attack, launching attacks one after another.

First, Yang Yang received Carvajal's pass, and a long-range shot was saved by goalkeeper Weidenfeller, and then two consecutive corner kicks created danger, although there was no goal, but it was still surprising.

Then Hazard forced a breakthrough on the left and passed into the penalty area, Yang Yang headed near the penalty spot, but under the sandwich of Hummels and Subotic, Yang Yang grabbed the landing point, but failed to play the strength.

Two minutes later, Di Maria received a pass from Carvajal on the right side of the penalty area, made a beautiful turn and took the ball out of the bag of three Dortmund defenders before slotting a left-footed shot into goal.

It's a pity that the last shot was indeed a bit unsightly, and it flew directly.

But Di Maria's wonderful performance on the right side of the penalty area still won the unanimous affirmation of the Real Madrid players, and Yang Yang gave him a thumbs up.

Di Maria's ability is obvious to all, but it is the last one.

Yang Yang had already run to the position just now, if he didn't hit the goal directly, but chose to pass the ball, Yang Yang could turn around and start directly as soon as he stopped, but unfortunately, Di Maria probably didn't see Yang Yang at that time.

In any case, Real Madrid are becoming more and more active up front, and the right side is firmly suppressing Dortmund's left.

The Hornets counter-attacked several times, trying to pass through Real Madrid's left flank, but Azpilicueta faced Reuss and kept it tight, not giving the German Rockets any chance to perform.

But just when Real Madrid was dominant, in the 25th minute, Xavi Martinez was accidentally injured when he landed with Lewandowski in a competition with Lewandowski, unable to hold on, and was forced to be replaced.

This made the Real Madrid players on the field start to feel a little disappointed, and no one thought that it would only be a long time before another injury occurred.

Carlo Ancelotti was quick to make a change, with Mascherano coming on to replace Javi Martinez.

After Yang Yang walked over to see off the limping Javi Martinez, he welcomed his old comrade-in-arms Mascherano and began to boost the morale of the team.

"Cheer up, the game has just begun, we must win!" Yang Yang shouted loudly.

Then, Yang Yang walked towards Hazard again.

"Their two centre-backs are taller than me, stronger than me, I don't have an advantage when it's tough, and then I'm going to expand my range of activities, I need you to cooperate, run more, intersperse more gaps, understand?" Yang Yang asked.

The two have established a preliminary tacit understanding in the previous training and competitions, although they can't reach the kind of heart and soul of Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic, nor can they do the kind of tacit understanding between Yang Yang and Robben and Di Maria, but at least they know the roots.

Hazard knows in his heart that after Yang Yang expands the scope of his activities, he will no longer fix himself in the middle of the front, and at this time, he and Di Maria will need to intersperse the gaps he pulls out, whether it is to insert themselves into the attack or create opportunities for Yang Yang's counter-insertion, they need to adjust their style of play.

"Don't worry, I know how to do it." Hazard nodded solemnly.

Yang Yang patted Hazard on the shoulder, "If you have the opportunity, you can fight by yourself." ”

After speaking, Yang Yang also gave an encouraging smile, which made Hazard's heart warm.

In Real Madrid's team, there is only one person who has unlimited firing rights, and that is Yang Yang.

He can hit the goal at will at any time and under any circumstances according to his judgment of the situation, and everyone in the team will support and cooperate with him.

This is not from the management, from the coaching staff, or from the privileges brought by Yang Yang's own status and influence, but from the confidence that Yang Yang has built and cultivated through one game after another in the past three years, and everyone has confidence in him, and it can even be said that it can be said to be dependent.

For example, this season, Yang Yang scored 17 goals in the league, six more than Messi, who was in second place and had just scored a hat-trick, and eight more than Falcao in third place, far ahead of other scorers in Europe's four major leagues.

What terrible data is this?

And now, Yang Yang is encouraging Hazard to hit the goal with more feet, which shows Yang Yang's mind, and also represents his meaning, if there is an opportunity, he will also pass the ball and assist for Hazard.

But Hazard obviously doesn't know that Yang Yang has never been a selfish person, on the contrary, he prefers to have a group of outstanding teammates around him, and Hazard is excellent in all aspects, but lacks some desire to score.

Yang Yang has always wanted to stimulate his desire.

After half an hour of running-in and adjustment, both sides began to gradually understand each other's ideas.

Yang Yang knew in his heart that Dortmund just wanted to shrink the defense and then play a quick counterattack.

So he began to expand his range of movement, drive his teammates around him, and increase the pressure of the frontcourt.

In the 31st minute, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Kehl made a mistake in the return pass under the pressure of Xavi Alonso.
