Chapter 197: Fierce Attack
At 7:45 p.m. on September 16, the first round of the Champions League group stage officially began, with Dortmund in Group D playing Arsenal at home and Galatasaray hosting Anderlecht.
Borussia Dortmund were well prepared for this game, but Arsenal must have come prepared, and with both teams being attacking teams, it will be a good game.
In this game, in order to seek stability, Klopp temporarily changed the team's formation to a 4-4-2 similar to the previous Bochum.
In fact, this 4-4-2 is similar to 4-2-3-1, the difference is in Shen Peng's position, Shen Peng is equivalent to the central midfielder in 4-2-3-1, but his position is higher and has become a striker.
So the Dortmund players are no strangers.
When preparing to enter, Shen Peng saw the real Wenger for the first time, and he had seen it on TV before.
Arsene Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal for almost two decades since 1996. After his retirement, Professor Alex Ferguson is currently the longest-serving coach in the Premier League to coach the same team.
Wenger's first impression of Shen Peng was that he was gentle and elegant, like a scholar.
After the start of the game, both sides played attacking football as expected before the game, and within five minutes, both sides had a total of three shots on goal, two of which hit the woodwork, only to be saved by the goalkeepers of both sides.
"Jurgen, it seems that Wenger wants to use the two wings to limit Shen Peng." Bwach said next to Klopp, and after a few minutes of exchanging words, Bwach saw something.
"Yes, they just put the attacking center on the two wings, so as to avoid entanglement with Shen Peng in the middle, Sanchez on the left and Ozil on the right are all players with strong individual ability, so it is really difficult to defend them by letting the two of them attack us on the side." Jurgen Klopp also saw Arsenal's style of play.
"If this continues, I'm afraid they will score first." Bwach said with some concern, and as soon as he finished speaking, Arsenal fired another shot at goal, but fortunately the ball was from a good angle and was tipped over the crossbar by Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller.
Klopp lifted his glasses, held his chin with his right hand, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Don't worry, since they like to attack from the side, then we will break through from the middle now!" ”
After speaking, he came to the sidelines, and when a player came not far in front of him, he instructed him: "You go up and tell them, after you get the ball, strengthen the attack in the middle, and if you have the opportunity, try to pass it to Shen Peng!" ”
"Jurgen, you're taking a risk, if the opposite side scores first......"
"In this game, it's about who scores more goals!" "The best defense is attacking, so we broke through the middle and had to come back to defend the middle. Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil are capable of doing things individually, but they can't break through our defence on their own. ”
When Jurgen Klopp's instructions reached the pitch, it was like adding a catalyst to the pitch, and the game suddenly became more intense.
After Dortmund gets the ball, it will soon pass to the midfield, organize a wave of attacks in the middle, and as soon as Arsenal gets the ball, it is from the two wings, and the two sides switch back and forth quickly, maybe the ball is still near the Arsenal penalty area one moment, but the next moment it will be Dortmund's half.
In addition, the level of attack on both sides is very high, so up to the current position, this game is very enjoyable, in addition to the hearts of the respective fans on both sides, the neutral fans are very enjoyable to watch.
Perhaps because this attack was too physically demanding, after about 20 minutes, both sides invariably slowed down, and in the first 20 minutes of the game, neither side scored, and the score was still 0-0.
At this time, Dortmund launched an attack, and Dortmund's players followed Klopp's instructions before, and directly passed the ball to Shen Peng with a big foot, hoping that Shen Peng could take the lead in breaking the deadlock.
For Shen Peng, Wenger must be focused on defense, otherwise he would not have blocked Shen Peng's goal in the first 20 minutes.
According to previous experience, Arsenal's midfielder Arteta immediately ran to the landing point of the ball at the same time as Shen Peng, even if he couldn't grab the ball, he had to destroy the ball and not let Shen Peng stop the ball comfortably.
When the ball fell, both jumped up at the same time, both fighting for their own top of the ball.
Arsenal is a Premier League team, and the Premier League is notoriously fierce in physical confrontation, so Arsenal's players have good physical confrontation, Shen Peng has no advantage in this confrontation, after contact with Arteta, the two sides are like two brute bulls colliding together, and a "bang" can be heard when they are close.
However, in the end, Shen Peng still relied on these skills to take the lead in pushing the ball out.
The ball flew towards an empty spot outside the penalty area.
"The Premier League team is really powerful, Shen Peng didn't even take advantage, and he didn't even pass the ball well!" Seeing this scene, Bouis said that in the previous training, he had also seen Shen Peng's physique, and Shen Peng could indeed be described as "strong as an ox", but even so, he still did not completely suppress the opponent.
Klopp didn't speak, he wanted to look at it, his eyes lit up!
At this time, a yellow lightning bolt ran towards the ball, it was Aubameyang, Shen Peng's ball was not interfered with and not passed, but one of his passes!
When Aubameyang received the ball, there was only one fullback Gibbs from the place where the ball landed on Arsenal's side, and Gibbs still hurriedly returned to the defense after seeing Aubameyang, so after Aubameyang got the ball, he could only watch Aubameyang accelerate and go away!
Once Aubameyang used his pace to break through the opposition defence, the rest was simple, as he struck the ball into the net with a simple effort from the onrushing goalkeeper.
There was a huge cheer at West** Stadium, and many people began to talk about this wonderful goal.
Bwach is no exception.
"Aubameyang is a kid who can often surprise us, and if Shen Peng doesn't come this season, it's not bad to let him play as a striker."
"No, you're wrong, old man, this ball is mainly passed by Shen Peng." Klopp shook his head next to him, "Shen Peng's ball has a good grasp of the landing point, if it is far away, Aubameyang can't catch up, and the ball will fall to Gibbs's feet; If it is close, then Aubameyang loses the opportunity to attack the opponent's defense in the first place, even after receiving the ball.
