476, four kills Dot
"Drip, drip...... Drip! ”
When Italian referee Rizzoli blew two short and one long whistles, the Champions League final, which was watched by 180 million people, came to an end.
The score was 1-5.
No miracles happen.
There is no divine soldier descending from heaven to reverse the world.
Jurgen Klopp's eyes were a little hollow, and his brown-yellow hair looked a little pale in the Wembley lights.
His team lost to the old guy again!
But there was nothing he could do!
His high pressing has been exerted to the extreme, and at one point Bayern gave up the penetration of short passes in the middle, and could only launch an offensive hastily through long passes, which can be imagined as efficient.
But that No. 8 stepped up again!
In the 11th minute of the opening game, Lahm dribbled forward from the right back, but under the joint defense of Reuss and Grosskreutz, the Bayern captain could not easily break through, and could only come with a long pass.
It was supposed to be a desperate move, but the football went through the entire half, falling to Dortmund's backline too far forward...... Afterwards!
This was not a tactical mistake, as the Nerazzurri have a habit of pressing all three defences in high positions to maintain a tight formation that makes it difficult for the opposition to break through.
This deployment has not been without their big losses, as long as they encounter an extremely fast striker in the opposing team, they will often be counter-attacked.
Of course, Klopp is not unaware of this truth, but he still has not changed his overall layout, because his team has long been accustomed to this style of play, and this style of play is also the most suitable tactic for the team.
So when Ronshit turned into lightning and broke through between Hummels and Schmelzer, Klopp could only helplessly spread his hands and watch him open the scoring for Bayern with a volley!
This season's Longshut has made great strides compared to last season, speed is of course his sharpest weapon, but other aspects are also gradually approaching the top, two-foot ball, one-foot touch, long passes, straight stops, picks, rubbing shots, diagonal pushes, volleys, headers, his offensive methods are becoming more and more diverse, and he is no longer the burning chariot that can only rely on speed to tear through the defense and then end the game with a burst shot.
His style of play has also changed significantly, and in 2013 he lost his explosive plug-in, but it did not affect his continued slaughter in the Bundesliga and Champions League, and at the same time, he no longer frantically squeezed his energy in pursuit of goal statistics, but broke the door of opponents in a more clever, safer and more relaxed way.
Helping the team win in a more rational way will also prevent him from suffering unnecessary injuries due to over-reliance on physical fitness, and his style of play is more concise, but more efficient and even more elegant than before.
Before the Champions League final, Bergkamp, the "Ice Prince of the Netherlands", also laughed in an interview:
"Only now, I dare to admit that Long Shute was indeed my student, and the energy I spent on him has finally paid off, and the Chinese madman who only knows how to bury his head in the charge has nothing to do with me!"
-
Dortmund's high pressing is undoubtedly very physically demanding, and even the Ironmen are unlikely to be able to hold out for the full game with that intensity – unless they have 11 Dragons.
When a player's fitness drops, that's Bayern's best chance.
Bayern's other four goals all occurred during this time period.
In the 41st minute, Dort's pressing in the middle was obviously a little loose, and Lonshette immediately shook off the double bag of Sven Bender and Gundogan, and found the only passing line in the crowd!
His straight plug was almost like a locator missile installed, and the ball bypassed the toes of Bender and Hummel to find Thomas Muller with precision!
His through plug was not only a little sudden, but also extremely fast, so that when Muller burst into the penalty area with the ball, the camera found the shadow of Erwa, and Weidenfeller could only sit on the goal line again, 2-0!
Dort, who was two goals behind, was a little flustered, while Bayern was demoralized and took advantage of the situation to play another attack.
In the 43rd minute, Dent made a long pass from the backfield, Hummels headed the ball, and Robben inserted diagonally along the right side, directly forming a one-on-one one-on-one one-on-one momentum.
But at the critical moment, Luo Laohan's attribute of "80% of the single knife does not enter" scurred up again, and in the face of most of the empty door, he kicked Weidenfeller in the face!
Even Bayern's diehard Tao Wei could only shake his head and smile bitterly:
"Robben has already wasted three fantastic chances in this game! You may be punished in this way! ”
But this retribution did not come.
Less than ten minutes into the second half, Arjen Robben had another chance.
It came from Franck Ribery and Ronshit breaking down the left flank, with Bayern attracting four defenders from Dort's midfield, but they still couldn't force a shot.
When approaching the penalty area, Ribery knocked on Longshit, but the latter hit Piszczek and Subotic behind him with a straight pass, and Scar Man weirdly twisted his body and appeared on the edge of the penalty area, and then easily crossed and found Luo Laohan on the other side.
Dort suddenly made a noise in front of the goal, Weidenfeller, Hummels and Schmelzer hurriedly pounced on Robben, but Peter Pan did not force the goal again this time, but turned to the bottom and passed diagonally in front of the goal, Mandzukiqi, who was outflanked in place, stretched out his foot and pushed it easily, and the football bounced into the unguarded goal! 3-0!
The situation was already one-sided, but Bayern's back line made a mistake in the 68th minute, maybe it was a high degree of tension, or maybe it was a decline in physical fitness, the starting central defender Dante did not stop his foot during a defense in the penalty area, and really kicked on the lower abdomen of Reus, who broke through with the ball, and the little rocket couldn't get up directly,
Dante's reckless foul cost him a yellow card and a penalty, and Gundogan, who took the penalty, wasted no chance and fired a powerful shot into goal to make it 3-1, leaving Dortmund with a little hope of catching up.
The rekindled Dort players wisely chose the key to the breakthrough on the yellow carded Dante, Reus, Lewandowski, Kuba, Grosskreutz, Gundogan, they took turns to attack Dante, forcing the Brazilian defenders to scramble, and Bayern's defense looked like it could collapse at any moment!
At this time, the old coach Heynckes did not replace Dante immediately, but replaced Muller with Buder, and set up three central defenders in front of his own penalty area.
Bader's appearance immediately relieved Dante, and with Schweinsteiger and Ronshcht properly returning to the defense, Bayern's backline was also re-established.
It wasn't until the 80th minute later that Heynckes replaced Dante with Gustavo, so that the substitution would not cause too much psychological pressure on the players.
Gustavo stepped up in the midfield position, while Ronjut moved further forward to become a shadow striker behind Mandzukic.
But when the game resumed, it was as if Mandzukicz and Lonjut had become shadows - because they both had a wide range of movement and were equally active in harassing opposing defenders, their positions changing at any time, and the Dort defenders couldn't keep an eye on them!
At this time, Klopp was once again unanimously criticized by various commentators.
"Klopp's on-the-spot reaction is really a big shortcoming! The game has entered the last ten minutes, but he has not even made a substitution, should he save three places for the end? He thought he was on the leading side?! ”
But Klopp has a bitter self-knowledge:
Bayern's bench is filled with substitute goalkeeper Stark, Germany's main international Bad Stuber, Switzerland's Messi Shaqiri, Ukraine's Timoshchuk, Bundesliga star Raphinha, Brazil's Gustavo and Super Mario Gomez, all of whom may not have the ability to change the tide of the game like Roberon, but they are also well-known stars who can take charge of their own affairs; And on his bench are only the old captain Kyle, who has been overwhelmed, the backup goalkeeper Longerak, and the public face ABCDE...... Who can he send?
After Mandzukic successfully rebounded from Subotic, Ronshette wore Hummels and singled out Weidenfeller, Klopp never got up from his seat again.
When Franck Franck Ribery set up Arjen Robben for Bayern's fifth goal, the Borussia Dortmund boss suddenly felt a chill.
Amid the shouts of more than 86,000 fans, Klopp had a vague sense of foreboding.
His glory days in the Yellow and Black Army...... There is a good chance that it is coming to an end.
This Champions League runner-up may be his last peak.
After all, he couldn't go any further.
