Chapter 268: An Opportunity to Be Seized
Playing against a team like Barcelona is actually a high-risk thing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
If they are in good form, whether they are strikers or midfielders, they can beat the opposition with just a flash of inspiration.
But high risk also means high returns.
Just like Dortmund now, they tried to attack for more than ten minutes, not only did they not lose the wind, but they also tasted a lot of sweetness.
Messi, as the absolute core of the team in the forward line, is not in stable condition because of his body.
And Xavi and Iniesta in the midfield, after more than half a season, have also shown the fatigue of 30-year-old players.
"Xavi's pass, to Sanchez, Sanchez is broken!"
Because of Dortmund's high-pressure pressing, coupled with Barcelona's own poor form, their mistakes continue to increase.
"Hey, hey. I just looked at the real-time stats and Barcelona had only 48 per cent possession. ”
In the eyes of fans, such data is basically impossible.
However, Zhang Lu and Duan Xuan, as professionals, both saw some clues.
Sanchez immediately counter-attacked after conceding the ball, but Schmelzer, who had broken the ball, quickly passed the ball to Bender.
Sven Bender's long pass is not as delicate as that of Gundogan and Shahin, but it is fast and timely.
The shot flew to the right of the pitch, where Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was ready to accelerate and start.
The two men's styles are a perfect fit, and Bender knows that his long passes are not so accurate, so he likes to add a little more power and play the ball a little bit forward.
Aubameyang also knows that his stopping of the ball is not as fine as Lin Yi, so he is more willing to receive this kind of pass with a lot of advance.
Alves faced this slender and tall Bundesliga newcomer in this game, and finally felt powerless.
If this had been left two years ago, even Cristiano Ronaldo might not have been able to take advantage of himself in the speed competition.
But now this newcomer actually threw himself away in three steps, and then continued to widen the distance between the two.
Aubameyang received the ball and slammed it forward, knocking it directly more than three meters away, and then striding after it.
'Dortmund's idea today is very simple, it is to play fast with you, Aubameyang and Reus are playing to the fullest.
Alves chased back and waved his hand into the box to get them ready to defend.
Without a reminder from his side, Puyol and Pique could also see that he was having a hard time dealing with the tall and lanky man, with Puyol getting caught up with Lewandowski and Pique standing in a delicate position waiting to be reinforced.
Reus was entangled by Jordi Alba on the other flank, which was a bit of a relief from Barcelona's defensive pressure.
Jurgen Klopp watched Aubameyang's high-speed advance and was already well aware of his attacking options.
Again, Aubameyang knows that his biggest advantage now is his speed, and it is easy to lose the ball if he wants to play any baseline cut or some other tricks, so it is better to rely on speed to get rid of it and then make a cross!
Puyol jammed Lewandowski, and he could see it clearly.
With your bounce, it's impossible not to deal with a veteran who is almost ten centimeters shorter than you, right?
Aubameyang thought so, adjusted slightly, turned around and passed the ball towards the penalty area.
He lifted the ball a little and increased Lewandowski's chances of getting to the ball.
In fact, Aubameyang's thinking is still too simple, and Lewandowski is far from being as easy as he imagined.
Not to mention that although Puyol is not tall, he has a strong ability to bounce.
With his strong body leaning on at the moment, it is a question whether Lewandowski can comfortably complete a header.
At the moment when the ball was about to fall, Lewandowski slammed his body and squeezed away the Barcelona captain.
Because the ball had already begun to fall, he did not take off, but threw his head back and went forward on the spot.
His head touched the ball perfectly, and the moment he was sure he was on top of it, he pressed his neck down a little bit.
"Header! Oooh! Alves saves the goal line in time! Kick the ball out! ”
"Hey, hey. Lewandowski's head is of very high quality, a wonderful header, Valdés didn't have time to react. ”
It's not that Valdés didn't react at all, it's just that he was completely too late to react.
He lay on the ground and looked at Alves, who cleared the ball, and was also shocked into a cold sweat.
Alves turned and pulled him up from the ground before turning and running back to the right.
"Be careful, Victor, today's opponent's attack seems to be a bit unexpectedly ferocious."
Puyol, who was squeezed away, looked confused, he didn't expect that in addition to the decline in speed and reflexes now, the confrontation would not be the same as before.
Instead, Peake came over and patted Big Brother on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll help you make up for it." ”
Alves' kick drove far away, and the football flew directly to the midfield, and the suppressed Barcelona was obviously unwilling to keep doing so.
Xavi, who received the ball, suddenly passed the ball quickly to the left wing, because it was Dortmund attacking just now, so Piszczek pressed very forward, Xavi's pass was very penetrating, directly to Neymar's feet.
The young and energetic Neymar has not played much in this game, and at this moment he got the ball, turned around with a dashing pull ball, and then rode on the side.
In fact, after joining Barcelona this season, Neymar was not happy.
Even though he has a lot of status within the team, he knows that I didn't put in a performance that matched it.
Fortunately, the players in the Barcelona team have always been very harmonious, and these big brothers have also taken good care of him and have been helping him grow.
But the more this happens, the more uncomfortable Neymar becomes.
As soon as he debuted in South America, he was known as the hope of Brazilian football because his performances were convincing enough.
From then on, he was confident and felt that he was strong enough until the encounter with Messi in the Club World Cup.
At that time, he had even worn the words "Who is Messi?" in his jersey. It's a pity that he didn't have a chance to show off this well-prepared dress.
The team lost 4-0 to Barcelona at the time, and he was aware of the gap between the individual and the team.
That's why he decided to come to Europe, to Barcelona.
Since he came to Barcelona, he has been working hard to fit in and make a difference.
But now? What have you played this season?
Players like them, who have been called "geniuses" since their debut, actually have very terrible self-esteem.
In this state of affairs, the more crucial the game, the more Neymar wants to play and prove himself.
Now, it's a great opportunity!
"Neymar received a pass from a team-mate and drove long down the wing!"
A Brazilian with great skill at his feet, Neymar started his own spinning from the wing.
Piszczek was directly eliminated by his opponent because of a disposition, and at the moment he was chasing from behind, but he felt that the distance was getting bigger and bigger.
Realizing that he couldn't catch up with his opponent, he quickly turned around and pulled from the side to the middle, ready to intercept his opponent.
Neymar's possession and pace are top-notch, which is one of the reasons why he is recognised by all Brazil at such a young age.
He cut from the side to the penalty area with the ball, and advanced at high speed all the way, and no one could stop him.
"Neymar is very fast and the ball is well controlled, this series of accelerations, the penalty area!"
It was too late and too fast, and Neymar had already reached the edge of the penalty area after a few accelerations.
Piszczek just blocked up from the side at this time, and Hummels and he flanked him left and right to close the door with a double ghost to block Neymar.
Neymar watched the two people block from both sides of him, and his heart was also ruthless.
Can't I deal with the two?
Facing Hummels in front of him, he shook his upper body and knocked the ball to his left, then wiped his left heel over the football.
Compared with flexibility, Hummels can't compare to Neymar in any case, so he simply gave up the competition in this regard, stood very calmly and didn't move, just stuck on Neymar's way.
Neymar was overjoyed, such words......
With a slight step on his left foot, which was already about to leave the ball, he spun and bounced the ball up, then flicked his right foot back and caught the ball between his feet.
This is a move he is very good at, not only because it is beautiful and practical, but also because he is very good at using it to provoke his opponents.
"Oh! A wonderful rainbow over! Hummels couldn't block it, Neymar burst ......"
The three words "go in" were still in Duan Xuan's throat, and then they were swallowed back into his stomach.
Neymar flicked the ball up behind him and was about to turn sideways around Hummels when Piszczek, who had been waiting for a long time, cut it off.
Getting around the opponent without seeing the ball made Neymar feel very unhappy.
And Dortmund has launched another round of counterattacks at this time.
Piszczek passes the ball to Kyle, who spends quickly and gives the ball to Linyi's feet.
This is also arranged in the former Klopp, when looking for opportunities and offensive and defensive transitions, try to hit the ball to the opponent's half, if you can't achieve this goal at once, give the ball to Lin Yi more, and he will deal with it.
Lin Yi is the best player in the Dortmund team with ball control skills and a big picture view, there is no doubt about that.
At the moment, all he is waiting for is an opportunity, a chance to tear apart the opponent's defence, or to break through the opponent's goal.
Barcelona still adopts a zone defense, and at the moment Lin Yi is dribbling the ball in this position, and no one is marking him.
Lin Yi enjoyed the feeling of being let go, he slowly dribbled the ball, not rushing forward, but looking for opportunities.
Martino, who was on the field, vaguely felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly stood up and walked to the sidelines, shouting loudly.
"Put pressure on him, don't let him get the ball so safely!"
Hearing the coach's instructions, although he didn't want to do it, Busquets leaned in as the coach asked.
Lin couldn't help but smile a little when he saw the tall Spaniard come to him.
This is the time to wait!
Just as Busquets wanted to stick up, Lin poked the ball past him with a poke of his toe.
Then, just as Busquets was about to turn around and get stuck in his position, he accelerated and changed direction, bypassing the huge humanoid barricade to catch up with the football.
The reason why Lin Yi did this was very simple, that is, he was bullying the opponent who was a tall player, and he was not fast and turned a little slowly.
After passing Busquets, Lin was in front of him.
Although Lin Yi is not the kind of player who can only run blindly, the current space to play is also his favorite.
Busquets behind him was not as fast as Lin Yi, so he could only choose a position while beckoning his teammates to fill in the position.
Lin Yi directly disrupted the opponent's formation at this time, and Puyol had to come out to make up for the defense and put some pressure on Lin Yi.
Pujol posted it, and Lin immediately felt resistance.
Although Puyol is not tall, it is not difficult to deal with Lin Yi with his strength.
Seeing that Busquets suffered like that, Puyol has learned his lesson.
He has been following Lin Yi closely, putting pressure on Lin Yi, preventing him from speeding up or breaking away from him easily.
Lewandowski was in the box and was kept on his toes by Pique, but he was always on his toes and ready to get out of Pique's defence.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reus both abandoned the flanks at the same time and both accelerated into the box.
'Borussia Dortmund were aggressive and all three of them had already entered the box.
Lin Yi clenched his teeth and pressed his body against Puyol, and while he raised his arm forward, he held the defender he respected very much.
Robert doesn't seem to be in a very comfortable position......
Pierre? With his stopping skills, forget it in the box......
Well?!
Lin Yi noticed Royce's position while observing his teammates' movements.
Royce not only did not fall behind against Alves today, but also demanded it in front of the guy who has been dubbed "the world's No. 1 right wing-back".
After all, it is the attendance king of La Liga, and by this time in the season, it has reached the bottleneck period of physical fitness.
But these are not what Lin Yi needs to pay attention to, what he sees at this time is only a gap and an opportunity.
"Lin Yi carries Puyol! Pass the ball! Oh! It was Royce who caught the ball, chance! The ball is in! ”
Reuss, who cut in from the left, didn't have a very big angle when he received the ball, but he still chose to push it decisively.
The ball bounced in front of Valdés, and then jumped into the net in front of his outstretched leg.
Lin Yi's kick is very penetrating, if you don't look at the players, just look at the way of passing and the two sides of the game, but it will make people feel that this is a pass sent by Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta.
The Camp Nou was a little stunned by the goal for a moment, and the fans stared at the stadium.
How long has it been since no team scored first on our home turf?
Reuss, who seized this great opportunity, did not do anything to celebrate, but ran to Lin Yi quickly and hugged his teammate who gave him an assist. (To be continued.) )
