Chapter 167: Although He Is Old, He Can Still Fight
Most of the reporters in this seat were lying guns, but Royce didn't care. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He raised his index finger and turned to hug his teammates as they rushed up.
The last one to run up was Kyle, who was already a little sluggish, and it was convenient for him to open his arms and hold all the little brothers in his arms.
"Well done, boys! That's it, and there will be another one later, completely crushing their hopes. ā
Surrounded in the middle, Royce raised his arms and smiled arrogantly.
At this time, the faces of the Nuremberg players were not very good-looking, and the goal came a little suddenly.
With such a start, it seems that they have no way to carry out the manager's pre-game deployment.
The Nuremberg manager stood on the sidelines, his hands in the pockets of his coat, muttering something in his mouth.
Klopp didn't have any expression on his face, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the most effective and appropriate response! If only Lin could contribute.
A handful of away fans cheered in the stands to celebrate the goal that had been scored in the opening minute.
The Nuremberg fans, for their part, found their way to do it immediately after a brief moment of surprise and once again booed loudly.
Royce finally hugged Lin Yi, although it was not Lin Yi's assist.
"Let's score a goal, too! Give those people some color. ā
Looking at Royce's unfinished eyes, Lin Yi looked at the goalkeeper at Nuremberg with a little sympathy.
You won't know how powerful this skinny-looking guy is until you experience it yourself......
"Hey, Dortmund is in great shape today! Scored such a clean goal from the start. ā
"So far, UEFA's punishment and the media's comments have not had any impact on Reus."
Duan Xuan said this, still thinking in his heart: He can only go to the girl the next day after being punished, no matter how he looks, he doesn't look affected.
The Nuremberg players stood in the center circle, and neither player said anything and kicked the ball away.
They can imagine that if the first half didn't make a difference, the dressing room at half-time would have been hell.
Borussia Dortmund players after scoring in the opening kick-off. Obviously swept away the previous decline.
In fact, for a team to get back to form, a goal is sometimes enough.
Looking at the footage of Dort's previous two games, Nuremberg's coaches and players made the three points the goal of this game. But as the game went on for a minute, they all felt that this script seemed to be a little different from what they had imagined.
As soon as the ball was released, Royce and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rushed up quickly.
Although Lewandowski and Lin Yi, who have never been involved in defense, did not directly put pressure on the Nuremberg players, their positions more or less blocked their passing routes.
Klopp, who was still a little worried, had relaxed by this time, and he leaned back in his chair.
Borussia Dortmund's frontcourt players were unexpectedly aggressive. The Nuremberg players had no choice but to return the ball.
This made them even more passive, who were already at a disadvantage, and after a few attempts but could not organize an attack, they could only kick their feet at the back, looking for opportunities to pass the ball.
Dortmund's style has always been the usual positive and combative style of traditional German teams, and seeing the opponent cowering in their own half, Kele and Gundogan couldn't help but press up, seeking high press.
The two teams were in a stalemate, because they couldn't get the ball, and Dortmund struggled to inflict damage on their opponents, they could only keep pressing forward.
Time just ticks by. The coaches of the two teams are in completely different moods.
Jurgen Klopp knows his team and he doesn't think Nuremberg can make any chances on the counter-attack.
The Nuremberg manager also knows his team, and he also knows that it will be difficult to break through Dortmund's defense on the counter-attack.
Just when the two sides were deadlocked, someone on Dortmund's side actually took the lead.
Kyle, who was already defending in the centre circle, saw an opportunity and took two steps forward with his long legs to cut off the ball from under the Nuremberg players.
This sudden change is often the most able to test the reflexes and level of the players on the field.
The Nuremberg players were momentarily stunned, while the Dortmund players had already turned and rushed out.
Kyle, who broke the ball, didn't stick the ball and handed the ball to Lin Yi.
But he didn't back down, but rushed forward with the young people.
Lin Yi controlled the ball unhurriedly, and did not forget to raise his head to look at the running position of his teammates as he pushed forward.
Nuremberg's midfielders thought they had their chance. Rushing upwards to prepare to jam Lin Yi's forward route.
But Lin Yi only made a wrong step and took the ball past him.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reus were running to the flanks, with Lewandowski not getting much extra care in the middle.
After all, Kyle's sudden break and push had already left the Nuremberg players scrambling.
Although they are flustered, there are too many people in the middle of them, right?
Lin grabbed the ball with a button. Take it to the right. Aubameyang understood and when Lin Yi turned, he also turned to the middle.
"Dort once again set off the offensive, Lin Yi's dribbling was very good, dodging an opponent and then rushing to the side with the ball."
"Hey, hey. Although Lin Yi often changes the game by understating passes, his dribbling ability, especially getting rid of the breakthrough in a small area, is very set. We watched Lin take the ball to the side! ā
Lin Yi was rushing to the side. There was a brief vacuum around him.
The full-back who was carrying Aubameyang hesitated for a moment and then followed Aubameyang to the middle, and the back of Lin Yi was thrown away by Lin Yi by accelerating.
Lin Yi didn't stop, turned his head to look at the forbidden area, and quickly made a choice.
He stopped the ball with his right foot in front of him, and then swung his whole body behind him, relying on the power of the shift of the center of gravity to resist the defender who had just followed.
With this flick, Lin Yi just took advantage of the acceleration to pull away from the opponent's back again.
Now is the time!
Leaning on this gap, Lin got up on one side, kicked the ball high and landed at the back of the penalty area.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as he rushes into the box. Lewandowski also consciously gave him a little space, and Lewandowski, who had given up space at the moment, was eyeing him at the back point.
Lewandowski is a very well-rounded striker, headers, long-range shots. There are many other ways to break through and deal damage to the opponent.
After Lin Yi joined, he deliberately conducted a lot of one-kick passing and one-kick attack training with Lewandowski.
It's time to put your training results to the test!
The speed of the football is not fast, and the location of the fall is easy to judge.
In fact, this kind of ball is very popular with both its own strikers and opponent defenders, and its own forwards think that this ball is very good. The opposition defenders thought the ball was easy to defend.
It's a pity that the Nuremberg players forgot a problem, the ball was passed to Lewandowski by Lin Yi.
The Nuremberg defender, who thought he had withstood Lewandowski, wanted to jump up and push the ball out. But when he jumped, he suddenly found that the space for his upward movement was really limited, because Lewandowski relied on his height advantage to suppress him condescendingly.
After Lewandowski pressed the opponent, the whole person rose into the air and smashed his head against the falling football!
Such headers are usually smashed downwards, looking for a quick and sudden one, and if there is a bounce in front of the goal, it may be able to cause a more surprising effect.
However, when Lewandowski was at the top, he was more or less affected by the Nuremberg defenders, and the football did not fall as quickly as he expected, but flew slightly to the top corner of the goal.
Such a small accident should have been a good thing for the goalkeeper, but the goalkeeper, who was caught off guard by Reuss before, made a fatal prediction this time.
The ball was clearly flying above the goal. But the goalkeeper had lowered his center of gravity and sat down.
Lewandowski was annoyed because he felt that he had made some mistakes, and he was happy to see this scene.
The Nuremberg goalkeeper seemed to have exploded his potential in the midst of the crisis, and he was able to stretch out his hand and drag the ball with his heart downward.
The ball was touched by him, changing its trajectory, floating upwards again, and finally hitting the crossbar.
The ball that hit the front of the crossbar did not fall into the goal, as Lewandowski had expected, but flew out.
The Nuremberg fans naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and Lewandowski didn't care about regrets at this time, and immediately turned around and wanted to chase the ball.
But as soon as he turned around. I saw that the ball that bounced out flew back again, and this time the target was still the goal.
Not only that, but more importantly, the football landed very accurately this time, and the Nuremberg goalkeeper, who thought he had escaped, did not have time to react. Football has fallen into the goal.
Who got in? This was Lewandowski's first thought.
Then he saw a familiar face in this environment, and the captain Kyle, who had been playing for less and shorter time, was standing behind him, raising his right hand.
Reus, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Lin Yi all rushed over, followed by Gundogan and Subotic, who were further away......
Kyle smiled as if he had scored for Borussia Dortmund for the first time.
The Nuremberg fans forgot about the boos this time. I don't know if it's respecting this veteran, or silently digesting that feeling of heaven and hell.
The ball that bounced off the crossbar didn't fly too far, and Kyle, who had never returned, appeared in the box.
As soon as it came naturally, the football flew back and was greeted with an almost empty goal.
2-0, in the twenty-third minute of the first half, the score expanded again.
The Nuremberg players, who had been defending for more than 20 minutes, felt physically and mentally exhausted, why was it only 23 minutes? I thought the first half was over.
The two goals made their hopes of beating Borussia Dortmund feel a little bit dashed, which was the exact opposite of the pre-match planning.
They couldn't have imagined that Dortmund, who had lost two in a row, would find their form so quickly, and it was still on their own.
Kyle was lifted up by his teammates, and the respected captain still held his arms aloft, arms with armbands.
I'm old, but I'm still able to fight.
It's like my team, you can fall into the doldrums, but you can climb out quickly.
Don't ever think about beating us easily, it's going to pay the price!
The Nuremberg players were in poor form when they kicked off for the second time of the game.
They tried to attack, but they were all neutralized by the Kyle-led backline.
Klopp nodded in satisfaction, and couldn't help but remember what Kyle said when he reached out to him before arranging the starting lineup for this game.
"The talent and ability of these young people may not be surpass in my next life, but my experience and some insights on and off the pitch must still help them. We've lost two in a row and I think I should play in the next game, first of all, the opponent is not very strong, and secondly, I can watch from the field and try to solve the situation of this group of young people. ā
For now, Sebastian, you can relax and enjoy the fight, this group of young people's ability to solve situations on their own seems to be as terrifying as their talent.
Lin Yi, who rarely runs during the defense, directly intercepted the opponent's pass by relying on his position, and then took the ball again, this time he distributed the ball to the right.
Like Lin Yi, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looks more like a wide attacker this season.
After receiving Lin Yi's pass, he threw off his long legs and galloped on the side, and the Nuremberg defenders learned well this time, and did not chase him but retreated to the penalty area to prepare for the second drop point.
However, Aubameyang did not cross as he thought, instead he pulled the ball into the box.
The Nuremberg defenders are very entangled, whether to go up to the top defense or to open the distance like this?!
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang didn't let him dwell long long as he sent the ball back to the edge of the box with an inverted triangle pass.
Lin Yi, who was supposed to be there, was not in place, on the contrary, it was Kyle who was waiting for him with an unprecedentedly strong desire to attack in this game.
A powerful volley was saved by the Nuremberg goalkeeper very reluctantly.
As he got up, he muttered as he spit out the grass clippings in his mouth, "How do you feel more ......positive than those young people at such an old age?"
In fact, the older you are, the more you know how precious the little time you have left.
Kyle, who kicked hard, let out a sigh, and thought silently in his heart: This is the gap in talent, I used to see Lin shoot like this, and he was always able to draw an unexpected arc and score, I think if I didn't rely on luck, I shouldn't be able to complete that kind of shooting and scoring.
But in fact, it doesn't matter. Because that's how you've always played, and you'll be able to continue fighting when you're old!
That's actually enough. (To be continued.) )
