Chapter 143. difficulty
At this time, Li Lin, who was still training in the team, didn't know that the first day of opening of the Boradis branch became very popular. But even if he knew it, he wouldn't take this matter too seriously, after the matter of the branch was over, the next game was what Li Lin was most concerned about at the moment.
As previously analyzed, Ajax's current situation in the league and the Champions League is actually not optimistic, the league before losing to Vitesse, which led to the team's temporary departure from the first group, although the Champions League looks very good, but the next game is difficult for the team to win, so a careless, may be this season's efforts will come to naught.
Therefore, after entering the Champions League cycle again, Li Lin can clearly feel that the atmosphere of the team has become tense, and the next two weeks may decide the success or failure of Ajax's season.
However, for now, the good news is that the next two league games, the opponents are middle and lower teams, it will be easier to play, and the team can prepare for the game against Dortmund with peace of mind. But the bad news is that ahead of the final Champions League game against Real Madrid, Ajax will be facing PSV Eindhoven at home, a game that can only be won and not lost.
……
Hotels in Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp was watching the footage of Ajax's 2-0 home win over Venlo four days earlier.
I saw that facing the teams in the lower reaches of the league at this time, Ajax was in an absolute advantage on the field, and the tide of offense continued to impact the opponent's crumbling defense.
At this time, the core of Ajax's midfield, Christian Eriksen, played a crucial role at this time, first assisting Li Lin on the edge of the box and smashing a powerful shot to break the deadlock on the field. The beauty of this shot made Klopp also shocked and surprised by Li Lin's growth rate.
Eriksen then found the top of Borigot's head with a precise long ball to help Ajax score another goal, and completely shattered the opponent's idea of holding on to the level.
Seeing this, Klopp breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the TV, and leaned back on the sofa.
"What, it's a little tricky?"
Klopp's assistant, Boisko, walked over and asked casually.
"No, as long as Ajax controls Eriksen and Li Lin now, it will be difficult for them to pass chances." Klopp's face was full of confidence, and he calmly analyzed the current situation at Ajax, "Ajax had Babel before, although this is a player who is somewhat out of the team's tactics, but his speed and dribbling can still create a threat in a quick counterattack, which is why Frank De Boer will choose Babel instead of Borigot, who is in better shape, when facing a strong team, but now that Babel is injured, Li Lin will look a little alone in the counterattack, And on the field, it is impossible for the opponent to suppress us! ”
Jurgen Klopp is full of confidence and he is now looking forward to the start of the game.
Meanwhile, in the hotel, Borussia Dortmund's players are discussing the game.
"Robert, you can't lose to that 18-year-old boy!"
Gotze lay comfortably on the bed, looking at Lewandowski sitting on the sofa with his eyes open, not realizing that he was not much older than Li Lin.
Lewandowski has a resolute expression on his face, as a goalscorer, all he is after is to score goals, no matter who the opponent is, he will only use his own goals to break the opponent!
"Don't worry, I'll pass you the ball!"
Royce next to him got out of the quilt and got his head out, looking at Lewandowski, his tone full of confidence and ease.
Although Ajax currently top the group, the form of the Borussia Dortmund players shows their optimism for this game.
"And me! And me! Tomorrow's game, try to settle the battle in the first half! ”
Götze had a confident smile on his face, eager to try.
……
In fact, this game was far more difficult than Li Lin imagined, after the victory over Venlo, Li Lin and the team were full of expectations for this Champions League game, but the strong pressure brought by the opponent made the whole team a little confused.
At this time, Li Lin recalled the last time he played with Dortmund, and suddenly realized that it was not the pressure of the Champions League and the fast pace, but the pressure of facing the current Dortmund team was too great, and the rhythm of the opponent was too fast!
Li Lin stood up from the turf a little embarrassed, spit out the grass clippings that he accidentally ate in his mouth, looked up at the somewhat dazzling score on the big screen of the court, and didn't know what to say.
I saw that on the big screen at this time, the dazzling 0:3 explained the current situation on the field, and the entire Amsterdam stadium was silent, and at this time, the fans also fell silent.
In the 8th, 36th and 41st minutes of the game, the successive goals of Reuss, Gotze and Lewandowski were like three basins of cold water, pouring the hearts of fans, and each time it was colder and colder.
After all, before this game, fans were hoping for a victory, because as long as this game is won, Ajax will definitely be able to secure a spot, but now the situation may not be easy to say.
This season, Ajax played smoothly, and several dangerous moments also relied on the individual ability of the players to get through the difficulties, but this half of Dortmund's fast play whirlwind really blinded Ajax, in the face of Dortmund's lightning-like attack speed and attack rhythm, the players began to play a little timid on the field, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be seized by the opponent to counterattack.
Li Lin, on the other hand, was undoubtedly caught in the trap of several opponents, and Bender was almost an inch away from his defense, and as long as he made a move, he was immediately a stand-in for two defenders. And Li Lin, who can't get up, is naturally at an absolute disadvantage in terms of physical confrontation, Li Lin is restricted, and Borigot is naturally inactive on the front line alone.
"I said, you are all three goals ahead, and you are defending so tightly, isn't it a bit too much, you are human!"
Li Lin didn't care whether Bender behind him could understand English or not, and chatted directly, at this time he had nothing to do except use some small tricks to harass his opponent.
However, Bender behind him is a traditional German character, and I don't know if he understood Li Lin's words, anyway, he didn't say a word, and then kept squeezing Li Lin with his body, trying to grab the ball.
Gundogan, who was defending next to him, may be because the team is leading by a large margin this time, or it may be because the first half is about to end, so this game did not contain Li Lin with Bender for the first time.
Li Lin tried hard to support the continuous physical contact of Bender behind him, while carefully observing the surrounding situation, only to see that Gundogan was helping to defend Eriksen who might receive the ball on the other side at this time, and Dortmund right-back Piszczek behind Li Lin was still closely guarding the Schineh in his defensive position, and unconsciously, Bender was about to press him from the left side of the midfield to near the sideline!
