Chapter 363: There were two people in the middle of the field

Zhang Lu and Duan Xuan carefully analyzed the situation on the field in the live broadcast room. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But both men forgot that their analysis only contained the tactical dimension, but ignored the psychological dimension.

Borussia Dortmund have played three games since the start of the season, two of which were equalised after scoring, and regardless of the tactics and styles of their teammates, opponents who are familiar with them can already make some effective restraints, and the current psychological pressure is also terrifying.

No, the players haven't done much yet, and the old and serious Klopp can't sit still.

He walked to the sidelines a little nervously, called Lin Yi over before kick-off, and made a few arrangements.

Listening to the arrangement he made, Lin Yi couldn't help frowning, this first half of the game is not over yet...... Not really, right?

'You tell Irka and Nuri to pull back more, to entangle their midfield, and to counter-attack with long passes when you have the chance.

Although Lin Yi felt that it was inappropriate, in line with his trust in the head coach, he still passed the request to his teammates as it was.

After a quick set-up, Lin Yi returned to the center circle and prepared to tee off.

Aubameyang muttered softly to Royce, "If you had scored that goal before, it wouldn't have been so much. ”

Royce couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "What the hell, this damn rainy day, my script is going to go in." ”

"It's okay, I'm going to score another one and wash away your mistakes with my goal and the rain in London."

"Damn! Whoever uses you, I'm going to go into one when I get a chance, and let this group of noisy fans know I'm awesome. ”

The two said that the ball had been passed back to Lin Yi, and after Lin stopped the ball with a bow and a pull, he stood in place and did not move.

"Oh? Are Dortmund ready to control the tempo of the game? It's a bit early to use such tactics at this time, right? ”

"Hey, there's not much time left in the first half, and Dort probably wants to use this to kill the opponent's form and the momentum he just found through the goal. After all, now the score is 2-1, and there is only one goal advantage left. ”

Lin stopped the ball at his feet, and he didn't even touch the ball when his opponent didn't come up to press him.

Giroud was the first to rush up, although he himself knew that pressing at his level was at best a scare and a scare.

Sure enough, at the moment when Giroud thought he was going to touch the football, Lin stepped on and pulled, and the football only moved backwards a small distance, but his foot was completely empty, and he almost pulled his eggs because the action was too big.

Lin Yi dodged Giroud and stepped on the ball with a graceful turn, shook off the follow-up Sanchez and passed the ball out.

"After a season of training in the Bundesliga, Lin Yi's ball control skills have obviously improved again."

"Hehe, especially the dodging and ball control under this kind of pressing, it has really improved to a greater extent."

Lin Yi's passing was also very accurate, and after turning around, a long ball flew directly to the front.

Although the coach's arrangement is to let him control the ball as much as possible and not give the opponent a chance, he can't hesitate when it's time to attack, right?

Royce, who pulled the side, didn't expect Lin to pass the ball to him so quickly, but he still caught the ball well.

The ball was still bouncing at his feet, and Bellerin had already strode in front of him.

The fast Spaniard has a lot of speed and flexibility, but his timing needs to be improved.

Royce just shook him and tricked him away, because he was too fast and he rushed over his head.

"Oops! Bellerin paid the price for his lack of experience today, as Reus dribbled forward after getting rid of him. ”

Bellerin was not affected by any emotion, and reflexively chased after him.

Then he let all the audience see how terrible his speed is.

Lin Yi ran forward, ready to pick up Royce, and he couldn't help but admire as he ran forward.

It is worthy of being a competitor who can be faster than Walcott in the 40-meter sprint, this speed is really frightening.

"Bellerin is chasing back, it's so fast, it feels like he's going to catch up with Reus, Reuss passes!"

Reus felt the pressure from behind and just before Bellerin could get his foot out from behind, he got the shot and crossed decisively.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Lin were all in the middle of the pitch to echo Reuss, waiting for Reus's pass at any time.

The speed of the football passed by Reus was very fast, and Lin Yi and Aubameyang did not communicate at all, one continued to accelerate forward, and the other slowed down and caught the football.

Arteta, as a midfielder, will have to follow Lin Yi closely no matter what, but then again, let him chase Aubameyang who runs without the ball, and he can't keep up at all.

Lin Yi is going to catch the ball, which is obvious, and it is also a good means to end the opponent's attack from the player in possession.

Arteta thought so, the whole person was pasted, who would have thought that Lin Yi did not mean to stop the ball, he actually used his head to push the ball up, and ran forward with the football.

"Let's see! Lin Yi made a very fancy move under Arteta's marking. Coach Zhang? ”

"Hehe, I think it's called a seal-like pass. The actual use is actually average, mainly fancy, and is considered by many to be a provocation to the opponent. ”

"At the moment, whether Lin Yi is trying to provoke the opponent or not, this skill has worked."

Arteta is not tall, Lin Yi himself is a tall player, he uses this method to top the ball, Arteta really has no way to take him, because in this case, any foul on Lin Yi will attract the attention of the referee.

With this hesitation, Lin Yi's whole person was no longer a seal, and at this time he rushed out like a shark that had seen blood.

Arteta was too late to chase after him, and Lin Yi, who had successfully escaped, just kicked the ball up.

"Pierre! It's up to you. ”

Lin Yi, who picked the ball towards the penalty area, did not mean to continue forward, but stopped at the edge of the penalty area.

Lin Yi's pick and pass was very accurate, and Aubameyang was very comfortable to step forward and then take the ball down with his feet.

"Another opportunity! Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang! Oh! Szczesny has made a great difference! He was very decisive in his attack, sending the ball straight out of the way, and Aubameyang fell into the net, which was a shame that the attack failed. ”

When Szczesny knocked the ball out with one punch, he suddenly felt a very strong uneasiness in his heart, and it didn't seem very safe to hit the ball out.

Then, as he got up and looked up at the outside of the box, he understood why he had this thought.

Lin Yi, who had stopped at the front of the penalty area before, was rushing towards the landing point of the football at this time, obviously preparing to make up for it.

He's getting up now, and with that guy's footwork, this team is an empty goal for him!

"Hey, hey. Lin Yi still has a chance! He grabbed the football, followed up, and made up for it! Ah! Arteta, broken ball. ”

Lin Yi, who had already grabbed the football and adjusted his posture to accept the gift, really didn't expect that Arteta, who had been pushed by himself, chased after him, and not only that, but he also successfully poked the ball away from his feet.

If it weren't for his quick reaction to close his feet, he would definitely experience the pain of.

After Arteta poked the ball away, Monreal sprinted out quickly and cleared the ball up front.

Klopp shook his head regretfully, these two opportunities are really a pity......

The two teams ended the first half back and forth, and although Dortmund's attack slowed somewhat, Lin Yi and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were clearly in good form today, with several shots on goal posing a huge threat.

Had it not been for Mertesacker's crucial block and a couple of very decisive saves from Szczesny, the score would not have been easy to say.

The concentration was so focused that the players of both teams seemed to forget about the high-intensity confrontation they were playing.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, they realized that they were already tired.

Lin Yi is okay, Eva and Zola Sr. have said before that Lin Yi's cardiopulmonary function is very strong, and this advantage has led to Lin Yi's ability to make stronger short-range bursts, and it also allows him to recover faster after strenuous exercise.

But on this rainy day, even Lin Yi felt a little stuffy in his chest.

The players went back to the dressing room together, and everyone was still joking with each other along the way, especially Reus, who missed a great chance in the first half, and was very unanimously ridiculed at this time.

Borussia Dortmund are fine, but Arsenal are far behind.

Mesut Ozil is known for his poor fitness, and in the first half he was repeatedly targeted by Dortmund's side, and at this point he walked a little drifting.

His old national team teammate Mertesacker hurried up, grabbed him, and half-carried him back to the locker room.

"Pell, why is that kid so difficult to deal with today? He defended the whole first half and did nothing. ”

Mertesacker, as an old-timer of the national team, naturally understands the strength of these juniors, and Sven Bender, as a very good sapper-type midfielder, is indeed very difficult to deal with in this kind of confrontation.

Arsene Wenger had already returned to the dressing room, staring at the tactical board in a daze, and he sighed softly when he saw Ozil being brought back.

"Aaron, you go and warm up now, you play in the second half. And, Theo, you go warm up too. ”

Oxlade-Chamberlain didn't have anything bad in the first half, because he didn't show anything at all in the first half.

Against an opponent like Borussia Dortmund, no one on the pitch can afford to be without a performance except the goalkeeper.

Arsene Wenger has already denied his pre-match plan, apparently trying to salvage the defeat through the second-half line-up.

Jurgen Klopp, for his part, did not let his guard down because of his one-goal advantage, after all, he has had several times this season when the lead was tied up.

"In the second half, we don't make any changes to the lineup, you can slow down the pace of the game a little bit, mainly ...... Defend well. ”

Lin Yi sat in front of the cabinet, gulping down the water, and at the same time picking up the bottle and pouring some water on the top of his head.

The weather in London is really not good, and after half the game, the jersey is already wrapped up in the body.

Lin Yi took off his jersey and put it on with another dry one.

"Hell, this dress seems to be trendy too."

Kaka patted him on the shoulder, "Professional, we are supposed to adapt to all kinds of weather and environment." ”

Lin Yi rolled his eyes at him, "Don't say so much, remember that you owe me a barbecue." ”

After a moment of silence, Klopp suddenly called Adrian Ramos and Immobile again, and asked the two of them to go out to warm up.

"After half-time, I think Arsene Wenger should make some adjustments, now they are only one goal behind, if the adjustment is done properly, there should be hope to catch up, but on the Dortmund side, there should be no substitutions, because the players on their field are still performing well, and even Schmelzer, who has not started for a long time, played remarkably today."

Why did the intermission end so quickly?

Lin Yi later recalled that it seemed that only when he was competing in the UK would he always have such thoughts.

It's not a good feeling to walk onto the pitch in a dry jersey and then see it all soaking wet.

Arteta walked onto the pitch with him, and looking at the opposition captain who had made a fatal interference with him in the first half, Lin Yi couldn't help but say again, "Hey! Man, where's your offense? Why is it that even a goal is scored from a set-piece? ”

"We have to thank you for that, if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have had a chance to score from set-pieces, would we?"

Lin was stunned, and turned his head to find that Ramsey, who did not play in the first half, was standing in Arsenal's team, ready to play.

"Yo? Arsene Wenger let you play, but he only let you come up in the second half, so it doesn't seem to be very useful? ”

Ramsey didn't respond to Lin Yi directly, but just said flatly, "Then let's watch it on the field!" ”

"Okay! At the end of the break, the second half of the game was about to begin, and we saw that there were no substitutions on the Dortmund side, but the Arsenal midfielder directly used up two substitutions, Walcott replaced Oxlade-Chamberlain, who did not show much in the first half, and Ramsey replaced Ozil, who made a free kick and also gave Lin Yi a yellow card. ”

"Hey, Mesut Ozil shouldn't have been able to keep up with the physical aspect today, Bender put a lot of pressure on him in the first half, which made him deplete his energy very quickly. And his performance in the first half can also be said to be the best on Arsenal's side. ”

Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud once again stood in the centre circle, and the two men looked at each other before kicking off again.

The second half of the game officially began. (To be continued.) )
