Chapter 421: The Restrained Plum Ball King

That's it for today's starting line-ups and line-ups for both sides.

Klopp bowed slightly when he saw this, as he guessed, Barcelona really continued their set, no striker tactics!

Yes, this time they're completely no-striker.

In the past, they would have made a Villa or something in the forward line, but now they don't even have a positive Indian striker like Villa, which is the midfielder. It looks like they have a 4-3-3 formation, but it's actually a 4-3-3-0, they have six players in midfield, and this formation can also look like 4-6-0.

Seeing the opponent like this, Klopp did not despise the opponent, on the contrary, he attached great importance to it.

Jurgen Klopp immediately came to the sidelines to remind his players: "Press! Push me all up, press them all back to my own half! At the same time, be careful not to give the opponent the opportunity to intersperse running passes! ”

Yes, Klopp's concern is that the Dortmund man suddenly picked up the pace.

Barcelona's tactic is to pass the ball, passing the ball back and forth in the midfield to mobilize the opponent's defense and tear the opponent's defense. At the same time, the front court is also back and forth in the back and forth, and then suddenly accelerates with a straight ball or a penetrating pass to tear apart the opponent's defense.

Truth be told, they just use slow possession and not too much forward tactics to paralyze the opponent, make the opponent's defense slack or stay in the same rhythm, and then can't keep up with their Barcelona rhythm in time, and suddenly give you a fatal blow.

Of course, these are superficial views on Barcelona's tactics.

The most important thing for the Barcelona is that they tear apart the opposition players with their passes, and with their extremely skillful interspersed movements, they create a threat to the opposition defence.

This set of tactics is implemented uniformly from the first team in the academy, and these people are very familiar with it, and they are also very handy and tacit in using it. So, that's their advantage!

Jurgen Klopp didn't want to see their team led by the nose, so he reminded his players to press forward like crazy, disrupt their familiar runs with ferocious and aggressive defences, disrupt their familiar passes and, above all, disrupt the rhythm of their game.

In this case, the game will be cut to pieces, which is very bad for Barcelona.

So after the start of the game, the Dortmund people pressed very actively, the forward pressure was very large, and the defensive action was very fierce. The Barcelona man was often brought to the ground, and the game was pieced and looked very awkward.

Especially the fans of Barcelona who came from afar, they were very worried to watch!

So far in this game, they have almost no chances, but the normal Dortmund people have seized some opportunities.

Just now, Dortmund's midfielder Shinji Kagawa combined midfielders Reus and Grosskreutz, and the three rushed up to intercept, causing Sanchez, who retreated to receive the ball, to make a mistake in receiving the ball.

The football was cut off by Royce who rushed up, and then he quickly passed the football to the feet of Gu Zhen in front. Gu Zhen, who was holding the ball with his back, directly carried the defender Mascherano behind him with his body, bounced it away, and then directly half-turned around and shot with his feet.

Gu Zhen directly came with an instep of the instep, and the football flew out rapidly, drawing a wonderful arc, spun over the head of the jumping Puyol, and spun sharply to the back and upper corner of the goal.

Clang!

With a steel sound, the ball slammed firmly into the goal post on the right side, and then popped directly off the bottom line.

Gu Zhen held his head in his hands and regretted it!

It was a real pity, it was just a little bit of a mistake, they almost broke through the Barcelona goal to get off to a fantastic start.

The Dortmund fans at the scene also looked very regretful, and they all held their heads in their hands to express their regrets, which was really a little bit worse!

The Dortmund fans gave Gu Zhen a round of applause!

ValdΓ©s was really scared to death, he immediately rushed out and roared frantically at the players in midfield: "What are you doing? Defend! Give me all the top, don't let him shoot so easily, stand up to him! ”

Pep Guardiola on the sidelines also roared loudly, reminding his players: "Gu Zhen! That guy is Gu Zhen, you know? I'm staring at it, even no, it's sticking to him, don't let him move, you know? ”

Guardiola is very jealous of Gu Zhen!

Gu Zhen felt very regretful, he was really only one goal post away from the goal, it was really a pity, a pity.

Xavi immediately turned to his teammates and said, "Come on! With such speed and accuracy of the ball, don't let the opponent easily break the ball, you know? ”

Barcelona's players bowed their heads and said they knew.

But they all know that they played very awkwardly in this game, not just one person, but all the players in the team, they all felt that way. The Dortmund people's fierce high pressing is a little uncomfortable for them.

Even a team with such strong ball control and passing ability is a little overwhelmed, which shows how powerful Dortmund's tactics are.

Of course, the Dortmund people's really fierce pressing is not without loopholes. Their biggest problem is actually their fitness, their fitness is so depleted, can they still play in the second half?

That's his chance for Barcelona.

However, through the knowledge of previous games, as well as the study of past game footage of Dortmund, they found that Dortmund's physical fitness is really very good and very powerful. People can't say that they can really continue to press at this intensity in the second half of the game, and they may not have a chance in the second half of the Barcelona game.

This is where Barcelonans are worried.

Pep Guardiola reminded the Barcelona players that the first half of the game was as much as possible to consume the physical energy of the Dortmund people, waiting for the Jedi counterattack in the second half.

Therefore, in this first half of the game, the Barcelona people tried to pass the ball as much as possible, tearing up the Dortmund defense, dispatching the Dortmund defense, increasing the running distance of the Dortmund players, and consuming the Dortmund people.

So, this game has become a tug-of-war, which is somewhat dull.

Except for Gu Zhen's wonderful half-turn shot just now, there are almost no chances for both sides, and there are almost no wonderful shots in this game.

Of course, Barcelona is also trying to let Messi break through with the ball, tear apart Dortmund's defense, and give the opponent a fatal blow. However, the defensive actions of the Dortmund people are really too big, and they all pounce on the foul at the first time, and they don't give Messi a chance to move forward at all.

So, Messi was hanged.

What's more, the referee's penalty scale in this game is very loose, although he also blows fouls frequently, but he has not shown any yellow cards until now, which further fuels the arrogance of the Dortmund people, this foul is more and more, and the Barcelona players are turned over on their backs.

Messi, in particular, was taken care of with little chance and was often put down.

Messi and Pep Guardiola are very dissatisfied, often questioning the referee and venting their anger. It's not a football game at all, it's almost a gladiatorial game.

Now, Messi is getting the football.

Messi aimed at Grosskreutz, who pounced on him, and he slammed the ball sideways, and directly dodged to get rid of Grosskreutz.

Grosskreutz saw Messi's movements and secretly said badly: "Lie down, is this kid a loach?" So slippery? ”

Messi's body is very flexible, this line change is very perfect, and Grosskreutz is vulnerable.

The Barcelona fans at the scene were very excited and excited, applauded one after another, and shouted for Messi, one by one very proud, no one could beat their Messi.

Grosskreutz was very unhappy in his heart, muttering: "Go to Tamar!" ”

Grosskreutz didn't want to be the backdrop for Messi's dashing breakthrough, he directly reached out and pulled Messi's jersey directly, pulling Messi to the ground.

He fouled the first time and didn't give you any chance to start.

Messi fell to the ground, very angry and speechless.

He played a very awkward game, which was the most heart-wrenching game he played this season. Is this still a football game? As soon as he gets rid of the ball, the opponent will immediately foul, and even as soon as you catch the ball, he will foul, and it will not give you any chance to perform at all.

The Barcelona attack is stuck here, and it is almost impossible to advance an inch!

Guardiola, who was on the sidelines, picked up, smashed the cap in his hand to the ground, and muttered frantically: ", is this Tamar's still a football game?" Referee, didn't you Tamar have a yellow card? ”

Pep Guardiola was very unhappy that this game was not a football match at all.

Obviously, Guardiola's open-mouthed mouth was to attract him a verbal warning from the referee, but fortunately, the referee was more polite and easy to speak, otherwise, this guy would have either been sent off or received a yellow card, how could it be so easy now.

The Barcelona fans at the scene were very unhappy, and frantically booed Dortmund and the referee of the game with frenzied boos. I'm afraid it's too dark, and these Dortmund people are too unscrupulous, and they are all rubbish.

Messi was very angry, and even turned his head to glare at Gu Zhen fiercely, muttering: "You real Tamar is not a good thing!" ”

Gu Zhen was stunned, and looked confused: "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Gu Zhen didn't bother to pay attention to Messi, and came directly to the position of the middle line, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

Barcelona took the free-kick and prepared to organize a second wave of attacks, threatening the Dortmund defence and trying to win this game.

After a while, the ball immediately came to Messi's feet.

Yes, football is at the feet of Messi again. But before Messi could play well and prepare for the next step, he was hooked to the ground by Shinji Kagawa, who rushed up.

Messi was very angry, stood up directly, and burst into a sentence: "Your uncle!" ”

Barcelona fans have very ugly faces, this game is really rubbish, is this Tamar's still a football game? Rugby games are much smoother than yours!

Garbage referee, you Tamar, die!

The Barcelona fans were cheering.

The referee gave Barcelona another free-kick up front, but it was too far from goal to pose a big threat. And Shinji Kagawa, who fouled him, also did not eat cards, which made the Barcelona people very unhappy and angry.
