Chapter 69: Perisic and Gundogan
The game continued, after Li Shuai's ultra-long-range shot almost broke the goal.
The players of the yellow team on the main side began to get serious, and they instantly grasped the situation and formed a siege.
Football is a team sport of 11 people, and one person can never play it, and at this moment, as a striker, Li Shuai, let alone have the opportunity to shoot again.
Most of the time, even he needs to come back to defend.
This is where the gap between the substitute and the main force lies, on the one hand, the main players have had a good tacit understanding after countless games, and on the other hand, their experience and strength are indeed much stronger than most of the substitutes.
Soon, Lewandowski, who was in hot form for goals, scored a header in the penalty area.
It didn't take long for him to receive a pass from Schmelzer in the back row, and under the strict defense of the defenders, he used his body to resist the defenders who defended him, and stabbed the ball into the goal first.
In the blink of an eye, Lewandowski scored twice and scored two goals in a row.
I don't know if it was Li Shuai's long-range shot that aroused Lewandowski's competitive spirit, after this guy scored the second goal, he also glanced at Li Shuai, as if to say, "If you want to score, you are still a little tender." ”
Robert Lewandowski continued his good form and left Jurgen Klopp on the pitch happy, giving him a few more confidence in the win against Hoffenheim two days later.
However, for Lewandowski, Li Shuai doesn't have time now, pay attention to this guy, this intra-team game is only 45 minutes, and Li Shuai has only 20 minutes left when he gets the opportunity to play.
With only five minutes to go before the game was over, Li Shuai didn't want his first performance at Dortmund to end with a kick on the post.
It's just that the same sentence, football is not a one-man sport, the yellow team of the main side is still on the offensive, Grosskreutz shot a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball hit the young player Leitner who was struggling to block, and popped off the bottom line.
On the main side, the yellow team got a corner kick opportunity.
Their big tall man Subotic at the back, as well as Hummels, as well as the main striker Robert Lewandowski, who scored two goals, were all ambushed in the box.
Schmelzer's kick arced quite high, and it seemed that he wanted to take advantage of the height of his players to compete for this header.
In this corner kick, Li Shuai also returned to the penalty area to defend, but he did not mark anyone, just closely watched the trajectory of the ball's flight and predicted the landing point of the ball.
Next, Li Shuai made an amazing move, and when all the players had not yet jumped, he jumped up directly.
Outside the stadium, Klopp, who saw Li Shuai jumping, was in the eye.
The players on the court, they didn't know at this time, Li Shuai's NBA athlete level bouncing, but Klopp had seen Li Shuai's test report, and he knew how terrifying Li Shuai's bounce was.
Sure enough, in the stunned eyes of the players in the penalty area, Li Shuai successfully hit the ball.
And he used the time spent in the air to accurately find his teammate Perisic.
Because of coach Klopp, Perisic arranged Gundogan, who was originally a substitute with him, on the side of the yellow team representing the main team, which means that Klopp is more optimistic about using Gundogan to top the former main player of the team, Shinji Kagawa, and the position left after the transfer to Manchester United.
This made Perisic very unhappy, and he believed that his strength was no worse than that of Gundogan.
Perisic is desperate to prove his strength in this game, but there is a huge gap between the players on the main side and the substitute side.
Finally, because of the new Chinese boy, he found an opportunity to make up for it, but was destroyed by the main defender Subotic.
Perisic, who had been holding his stomach for a long time, received the ball again, and in the face of this once-in-a-lifetime counterattack opportunity, he couldn't miss it.
I saw him start quickly and advance with the ball at a high level.
This guy's body and speed are really not covered, and he quickly took advantage of the opposing player's unstable foothold and his own speed to advance the ball from the back to the midfield.
After the ball, Li Shuai, regardless of three, seven or twenty, galloped forward like a wild horse, as if he wanted to vent all the frustration that had been suppressed by the main force.
Assistant coach Boisko looked at Jurgen Klopp next to him and exclaimed, "How high did he jump and how fast did he run?" ”
Klopp was very happy to see the same expression on his old friend's face as when he learned about Li Shuai's body data, and said with a smile: "The test report shows that the vertical take-off height is 1 meter, and the speed of 100 meters is 10 seconds 40. ”
"Oh, maybe he can go to the NBA, or go sprinting." Boisko said incredulously.
Klopp laughed even more happily at his old friend's remark, "I think the same way, but then maybe there will be one less genius in football." ”
"Pass!" Li Shuai shouted again.
Perisic was shocked to see the Chinese kid who had just won the header with an amazing bounce and ran to his eyes in the blink of an eye.
As much as he wants to perform, Perisic is a very team player and he already has defenders in front of him blocking his path.
And he found that the Chinese kid's side was empty, Perisic didn't think much about it, and decisively gave the ball to Li Shuai.
What Perisic didn't know was that his move made him add a lot of points to manager Jurgen Klopp's heart.
"Yes, the advance in the counterattack is extremely fast, and it is not greedy." Klopp nodded inwardly.
After Li Shuai got the ball, he continued to advance with the ball, and he quickly pushed the ball forward a lot, coming to 20 meters in front of the penalty area.
Goalkeeper Langerak didn't dare to take it lightly this time, and stared at Li Shuai with all his attention to prevent him from making another sudden cold arrow.
In this attack on the main side, Gundogan, who chose to stay behind, was also entangled with Li Shuai at this time.
Gundogan looked at the Chinese kid in front of him and was very annoyed.
I don't know if Li Shuai is intentional or unintentional, when he participates in the team's defense, he always gives priority to dealing with Gundogan.
Gundogan was placed in the main side by Jurgen Klopp, and he was more desperate than Perisic to make a difference, proving that the manager's vision was right.
It's just that he didn't expect that this Chinese kid who played as a striker and showed an amazing long-range shot not long ago would be unexpectedly difficult to defend.
Gundogan was anxious to play, and he couldn't help but be a little frizzy, and the result was that no matter whether he passed the ball or passed people, he was frequently sabotaged by Li Shuai.
So far, although his main side has a leading score, he has not played any wonderful performances himself.
Gundogan is only a 20-year-old guy, and his mentality is a little explosive, especially now that he is still in the position of Li Shuai.
Gundogan didn't even think about it, and it was directly a flying shovel in front of him.
Li Shuai didn't expect this "terrorist" to be so terrifying, and even the ball was put to the ground by Gunduoan.
"Shh The referee blows the whistle.
Gundogan was not calm and fouled, allowing Li Shuai's substitute side to win a well-placed free-kick.
Hearing the referee's whistle, Li Shuai ignored his still somewhat sore feet, and directly stood up from the ground with a carp, and held the ball that was shoveled out firmly in his hand.
obviously wants to take this free kick, Li Shuai doesn't know whether his substitute side has selected a free kicker, anyway, even if there is, he doesn't know, now is not the time to be modest.
If you have strength, you have to show it.
