Chapter 161: Long Shot to Long Shot

Napoli fans jumped excitedly in their seats, waving flags in their hands and cheering for their players and teams. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Judging from the current form, with such a score, Dortmund should have little chance.

Since Maradona's departure, Napoli fans have been holding their breath and they are waiting to rise again.

And now, their team has been the runner-up of Serie A, and as fans, they naturally have their own pride and expectations.

The city and its fans are not without ideas about the Champions League.

We can't compete with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid, but with a bit of luck, it's not out of the question that we can secure a place in the quarter-finals.

If you run into a weaker opponent in the quarter-finals, wouldn't there be more possibilities?

Although Higuain, Hamsik, and now Napoli's core players, none of them can reach the heights of Maradona, but in the era of emphasis on team football, such a player configuration can be called good.

Fans are proud of their team, and of course they taunt their opponents who have been hit.

The Dortmund players retreated to the dressing room amid such boos.

As soon as he entered the locker room, Lewandowski, a Polish who had always been mild-mannered, kicked over the stool in front of him.

"There's definitely something wrong with this referee! The short guard had fouled me a few times, and it was enough to send him out! As a result, the referee gave him a few warnings without pain! This is definitely a fucking black whistle! Black Whistle! ”

Mechtaryan didn't speak, but nodded thoughtfully, because he also had a trick with Zuniga, and he also had Lewandowski's feelings.

Everyone discussed the referee word by word, but the captain Weidenfeller, who was the captain on the field, could not say a word.

If it weren't for a few mistakes, maybe the team would have been able to maintain at least a 0-0 by now, and in that case, both the mentality of the teammates and the situation in the second half of the game would have been much better than it is now.

The door to the locker room opened again. Jurgen Klopp, who went to the referee as soon as the first half was over, returned.

As a manager, he certainly can't accept the unfairness of the team's first half.

Although the communication with the referee did not lead to anything, it is better to put a little pressure on him than to let him go.

Come with him back to the locker room. And the captain of the team, Kyle, who didn't warm up and won't play today.

Clearly, the situation did not make Jurgen Klopp change his plans, and he was still not prepared to send his captain to help the team solidify the defence.

Stand in the middle of the locker room. Klopp first looked around and saw that his disciples were all dejected, he shook his head and clapped his hands to gather the players around him.

"Lift your head for me! Did you lose? Yes? You can't lower your head if you lose, not to mention that we haven't lost to our opponents yet! Stand up for me and lift my head up. ”

As a manager, although Klopp has always had a good temper with his players, his natural aura and the status he has accumulated over the years have made him very prestigious in front of the players.

Lewandowski, who was still complaining about the referee just now, also shut up and honestly came to the head coach.

"First half of the game! We had no problem with our performance! It's just that the damn referee changed the trend of the whole game! Of course, our own luck is not very good. But. This is not a reason for us to surrender and give up! In the second half of the game, we have to continue our style and football! It's still an offense! Offensive! Lin, increase the number of breakthroughs you make in the second half of the game and use your own attack ability to deal damage to your opponents! ”

Lin Yi, who had been hampered by Zuniga's presence in the first half of the game, did not speak, just nodded, and he did not tell the head coach about his worries.

There are psychological barriers, that's your own business. How to arrange the tactics is the responsibility of the coach.

Since they asked me to inflict more damage on my opponent, then I would make a little better, but I don't necessarily have to rely on breakthroughs.

"Marko, you and Kuba try to break through the opponent on the wing. With those two Napoli full-backs, it's impossible to stop both of you! You don't have to cross it, try to cut inside! Or go back to Lin and Henrik and let the two of them go and shoot from a distance! ”

Mechtaryan and Lin Yi nodded again. Jurgen Klopp simply laid out a few more words and let the players rest.

Indeed, as Klopp said, in the first half of the game, Dortmund's performance in terms of technique and tactics was no problem, except for Lin Yi who did not make a brilliant individual performance because of the presence of Zúñiga, other aspects. Everything the team did was remarkable.

"In the first half, in fact, all the technical statistics of Dortmund were dominant, but alas! Their opponents had better luck and also had home advantage. Coach Zhang, you look at the last game against Hamburg, Dortmund's start was actually similar to today's game, which was ultimately lost by Dortmund. In today's game, Dort must not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so what do you think should be the key to Dort's reversal in this game? ”

Zhang Lu didn't seem to hesitate at all, and gave an answer very directly.

"I think if Dortmund wants to win the game, the key is the referee, today's game, the referee really affected the two teams too much, in a game like this, the referee occupied a little too much role today."

Duan Xuan also agreed with Zhang Lu's statement, but while agreeing in his heart, he suddenly realized a problem, that is, he suddenly had nothing to say.

Rafael Benitez was also in the dressing room to sum up the first half, with heavy praise for Gonzalo Higuain and Zúñiga. These two players, also from the Americas, were the biggest contributors in the first half.

Higuain made two shots, not to mention two shots, and also greatly damaged Dortmund's morale.

And Zuniga ...... Needless to say, Benitez himself has to admit that if it were an opponent's player, then he would definitely hate a player like Zúñiga. But with such a player under me, there's really nothing else I can do but praise me.

Higuain was still whispering to his team-mate Callejon, who had been a good friend of him at Real Madrid, and the two were clearly still discussing how to work together more in the second half of the game to cause damage to the opposition.

Borussia Dortmund's dressing room, encouraged by Jurgen Klopp, has picked up some form, albeit from behind. Still slightly dull.

Lewandowski has been spitting bitter water with Lin Yi and Royce beside him, obviously oppressed by Zuniga.

If there was only one Albiol, he must have coped with it very easily. That guy was nothing more than a substitute for Real Madrid in his heyday, last season. Real Madrid's main central defenders have all been played by Lewandowski. But this Zunika ......

Thinking of these, Lewandowski, who was interfered with by Zuniga several times, gritted his teeth and swore solemnly: "If he plays those tricks with me again in the second half, I promise he will regret it!" I'm going to have to give him some color. ”

Lin Yi, who was still thinking about how he should kill his opponent when he didn't dare to break through, didn't pay attention to what Lewandowski said. Just bowed his head and pondered the countermeasures. Reuss said that he would try to pass the ball to Lewandowski as much as possible to help him create chances.

Jurgen Klopp left the dressing room after he had said what he wanted to say, leaving only captain Kyle behind.

Dressed in a long-sleeved tracksuit, he was sure that he would not play in the squad, and he hugged Weidenfeller by his side, not knowing what to say to him.

And before the start of the second half, he gathered his teammates around him.

"I can't play though! But my heart is always fighting with you! Don't be afraid to fall behind, go up! Like Jurgen said, keep playing our way! Come on, brothers! ”

After speaking. He turned and opened the locker room door and sent his teammates out with a wave of his hand.

When the Borussia Dortmund players walked into the tunnel, the Napoli players just came out.

Zuniga in the middle of the team got the most attention, with almost all of Dortmund's attacking players looking at him.

In the face of such a gaze, Zuniga didn't seem to be unaccustomed, and turned his head to bared his teeth at Lewandowski, who had just been dragged and kicked twice by himself.

"Okay! Players from both teams are back on the pitch and the second half of the game is about to begin! Jurgen Klopp and Rafael Benitez have made no changes and Benitez must have been happy with their team's performance in the first half. As for Klopp, maybe he wants to rely on substitutions to make a preemptive attack, right? ”

Napoli fans waved Gonzalo Higuain's number 9 shirt. Higuain's performance in this game is a microcosm of him in Napoli. This efficient and versatile goalscorer is Napoli's greatest killer.

At this moment, the fans are looking forward to him being able to score one more and completely seal the victory.

The Dortmund fans who travelled to Italy with the team were not deterred by the disadvantage they faced, although they were few in number. But he has always maintained a very high enthusiasm, relying on his own shouts and cheers to fight against the São Paulo stadium.

At the start of the second half, Napoli took the lead in attacking, with Hamsik, who scored the second goal in the first half, dribbling the ball.

Behrami and Inle tried to insert a gap in Dortmund's ribs and catch them off guard.

Hamshik didn't send the ball over because of the two men's movements. Instead, he picked up the ball and passed it to Shahin's back.

"Dortmund's lineup today is a bit weak in defense! I think they should make some adjustments after that, and the addition of Shaheen is obviously trying to strengthen the attack to break down the Napoli defence, but unfortunately it seems that he is not very useful on the pitch at the moment. ”

"In fact, it's not that Shaheen is not useful enough, it's just that the opponent's restrictions are in place, and today Napoli can be said to be leakless in defense because of Zuniga, and this kind of defense cannot be solved by a single player."

As he spoke, Shahin, who turned too slowly, had already let Callejon receive the football.

Callejon was not going to miss this opportunity, nicknamed "Motorcycle", he was very fast, and when there was no one in front of him, he was very comfortable with the ball and rushed forward.

Hummels and Subotic didn't press out and they were firmly in their position in the face of this attack.

Callejon is not the kind of player who can finish the battle with his own breakthroughs and dribbles, and in the face of a world-class centre-back like Hummels, he was actually still stunned, swaying from side to side, and he couldn't find a chance to cross the ball to Behrami.

As soon as Behrami received the ball, Schmelzer sent him off the touchline with a ferocious sliding tackle.

This tackle was very ferocious, and Behrami was caught off guard, and the whole person flew.

Schmelzer's angle of his foot was well controlled, and the referee ran over and only awarded a Napoli throw-in, which naturally drew a burst of boos from the fans.

Behrami lifted the ball above his head with both hands, only to see Higuain sneaking into the Dortmund penalty area without knowing when.

On top of that, there's only one Shaheen on his side defending him!

Maybe it's an opportunity! Behrami thought so, and after taking a few steps back, he threw the ball very hard into the Dortmund penalty area with the power of the run, where Higua was at the moment.

"A powerful throw-in! Higuain! Oh! It's too dangerous! Fortunately, Hummels appeared in time to head the ball over Higuain's head! It's a pity that the ball fell outside the box, but it was still under the control of Napoli, Hamsik! It's him shooting from a distance again! ”

Napoli's long-range shot was unusually successful today, and Hamsik's kick got the fans excited.

They are all waiting for a third goal, for what could be the death sentence for Borussia Dortmund.

However, it didn't.

Hamsik's shot was good, but Weidenfeller, who had learned his lesson, and Subotic, who had been engrossed, combined to keep the ball out of the net.

This time, the ball landed at the feet of Shahin, who was still in the penalty area, and after the Turk received the ball, a spin followed by a direct big kick, and the ball flew straight to the front of the field and fell to the feet of Mechtaryan.

Careful people will definitely notice at this time, why did Mehitaryan retreat to the back, but Lin Yi went to the front?!

Mehitaryan followed the ball and flew forward to Lin Yi's feet.

At this moment, Lin Yi was only twenty meters away from Napoli's goal, Lin Yi didn't even stop the ball, and his whole body turned sideways!

Since you're shooting from distance, I'm going to try it too! (To be continued.) )
