Chapter 203: Against
On November 1, the tenth round of the Bundesliga, this round has the highlight of the Bundesliga, Dortmund and Bayern Munich's "national derby".
Judging from the previous years, these two teams have been dominating the first and second places in the Bundesliga, until last season, when Bochum was robbed of the first place in the Bundesliga, so the confrontation between the two teams is also extremely fierce.
And this game is also about the battle for the top spot, and neither team wants to miss it.
As for the outside world, there is also speculation whether Bayern Munich's pass-and-control style is more powerful, or Dortmund's speedy attack is more powerful now.
There are even speculations that Shen Peng will score wonderful goals again in the face of Bayern Munich in this game, after all, in the two league games last season and the German Cup final last season, Shen Peng performed very well in the face of Bayern Munich and scored a goal that can enter the top ten goals of the year, although last season's German Cup final did not continue this rule, but the overall state of Bochum in that game was sluggish, and Shen Peng could not do anything.
In this game, Guardiola did not use the 4-4-2 formation that he had been using before, but discharged the 3-5-2 formation, which was intended to strengthen the midfield and striker, so as to contain Dortmund's attack, as long as Dortmund's midfield was restricted, then Shen Peng and Aubameyang would have no threat.
Bayern Munich's lineup is: three defenders Alaba, Boateng, Benatia; Marcos Alonso and Lahm, three strikers Bernattgetze and Arjen Robben, forwards Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller, and Franck Franck Ribery were on the bench.
On the Dortmund side, Klopp still did not let Mbappe start in this game, but sought to steadily use the 4-2-3-1 lineup that he had been using before, with four defenders Piszczek, Papastathopoulos, Hummels and Durm; Double-back Sven? Bender and Kyle; three forward-defenders Mkhitaryan, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reus; Forward Shen Peng.
"Last season, we lost the title because of some mistakes in the final win, and this mistake was that we lost to Bochum. Actually, if you play 80 percent of the game, you can win it, but you still lose it, and I don't want that to happen again. ”
Pep Guardiola is also mobilizing the players before the game, "This game is our home stadium, even if Dortmund signs Shen Peng, their strength is still not as good as ours, so I hope to win this game!" ”
In fact, there is no need for Guardiola to say anything, Bayern Munich's players will go all out, in addition to the opponent is Dortmund, there is also Shen Peng, last season it can be said that Shen Peng snatched the Bundesliga championship from them.
On the other side, Klopp also said a few words, and the players were all ready to play.
In the first half, Bayern Munich served, and they did not rush to organize the attack after serving, but relied on a strong midfield to start falling in the midfield, and Lewandowski and Muller went forward to look for opportunities.
Two minutes later, Bayern Munich pulled away from the midfield, Gotze passed the ball to Muller with a straight kick, Muller stopped the ball with his back to the Dortmund goal, and then pretended to turn around and run to the side, but it was a feint at his feet, and the ball was passed forward again and passed to the feet of Lewandowski!
And at this time, Lewandowski's position is undefended!
Against his team-mates from last season, Lewandowski showed no mercy on his feet, shooting with his feet, and the ball flew out of the woodwork with the sound of breaking through the air.
This scared everyone in Dortmund into a cold sweat, and Klopp also hurriedly shouted on the sidelines, telling the defenders to get serious, the ball just now obviously shouldn't be.
It was Papastathopoulos who defended Lewandowski, and he also knew that he was not in the groove just now, so he quickly focused and focused on the game.
Lewandowski was a little annoyed to see that the goal was not scored, and he also knew that there were not many such chances, and this goal only needed to be pressed a little more, and it would be scored.
And Shen Peng has scored eight goals this season, and he has only scored four goals, if he doesn't catch up a little bit in this game, his Bundesliga Golden Boot this season will be in vain.
After the game resumed, Dortmund's side also stabilized and began to attack in an orderly manner.
In the twelfth minute, Shen Peng received a pass from Mkhitaryan and fired a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball went over the crossbar.
His shot was also helpless this time, because Boateng was always defending him, and he didn't have any good chances to completely get rid of the opponent, and on the other side, Aubameyang was also completely watched by Bertner.
Bertena can play as a winger or full-back, plus he is also very fast, so Guardiola put him in this position in this game to use his defensive ability to block Aubameyang, and now it seems that the effect is not bad, and Aubameyang has not had many chances.
As well as defending Aubameyang, Beritner was able to attack on the flanks and caused some problems for Borussia Dortmund's backline.
"Jurgen, if this continues, I'm afraid the situation will not be good." Bouis said that once Dortmund's right side is restricted, then Shen Peng alone on the offensive end will not have much effect, and the opponent can easily defend.
Klopp frowned and looked at it for a while, "Indeed, Guardiola is very well targeted in this game. However, Bertena has to cut in when attacking and run with Aubameyang when defending, and his fitness will definitely not be able to withstand it, so in the second half they will make a substitution sooner or later, and they are very willing to change Ribery, and then it will be our chance. ”
Bouis nodded, although Ribery is stronger in attack than Bertenner, but not as good as Bertena in defense, so Aubameyang still has a good chance at that time.
"But, Jurgen, that's the second half, what about the first half, you can't let them play so passively all the time, right?"
"Hey, after talking for a long time, we're just missing a commando on the left. Bayern Munich's defenders are now focused on the middle and their left, and if we have a player on the left flank who can break through their defence, they will certainly not be able to defend. Klopp said.
Bvac also pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Do you want to let Mbappe play?" ”
Klopp raised his eyebrows, he originally brought Mbappe to the first team to let him play in this position, but now in a game like Bayern Munich, it is not necessarily good.
With the current strength of Mbappe, he is likely to be mediocre after playing, although he also got an assist in the first team before, but at that time it was against the German Cup against the Bundesliga team, and the current opponent is not a soft persimmon, but a Bundesliga hegemon, so it is easy to hit his self-confidence.
