Chapter 378: Anderlecht's Halftime Break
For Lin Yi's unexpectedly using the ox's tail here, Telemans and Conte still didn't expect it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The action of the ox's tail is indeed very effective if it is done well, but if it is not well controlled, it will definitely become a funny action.
And with the increase in defensive intensity now, there are actually fewer and fewer people who can use this technique on the court.
Lin Yi caught them off guard at this time, and really managed to take the ball out of between the two defenses.
"Beautiful! Let's look at Lin Yi's oxtail and directly pass the two opponents! Xu Yang's voice was a little out of tune.
It seems that all the eyes on the scene were attracted by Lin Yi, who played with a bull's tail, but a few noticed that Reuss on the side was quietly dodging Mbemba at this time and slipped towards the penalty area.
Duan Xuan didn't answer Xu Yang's words, he was just staring at Lin Yi who was holding the ball and Royce's running.
The tacit understanding between these two people is obvious to all, as soon as Lin Yigang joined Dortmund, it seems that he has been cooperating with Reuss for several years, not to mention that the two of them have now had another year of running-in.
It was already a little too late for Mbemba to defend against Royce, he thought about it for a while, and decisively turned his head directly and pounced on Lin Yi.
In fact, his judgment is still very accurate, Lin Yi may not necessarily pass the ball, but the ball is at Lin Yi's feet.
How strong Lin Yi's shooting ability is, but any opponent who knows something about him already knows it now.
Instead of guarding against his passes, try to snatch the ball right from his feet with his teammates.
The idea was good, but unfortunately the execution was far from as simple as he imagined.
Lin Yi was unmoved when he turned to Lin Yi, but when he approached Lin Yi, Royce had already run forward a few steps......
"Oh! Lin Yi picks the ball, no! This time it's a pick, not a pass! Royce received a pass from Lin Yi! ”
Reuss had already run into the penalty area at the moment, then turned around and stopped with his chest up to receive the kick pass.
He then didn't make any further adjustments, but flicked his chest, pushed the ball in front of him, and then slammed his leg sideways and hit the goal.
Royver had already blocked the angle of the goal, but Reus's shot still made him uncomfortable because the ball was too fast.
A sideways volley, the ball is usually kicked upwards, unless it is the kind of shot that smashes the ball downwards.
Royce's kick was no exception, and Royver, who had already sealed the angle very well, was really startled when he looked at the football that was rapidly changing from small to large in front of him, and in order to prevent being directly hit in the face by the football, he could only raise his hand and forcibly block it.
"Ahh Reuss' shot is blocked! The ball didn't fly far! Still in the forbidden area, there's a chance! Lin Yi followed up! ”
Royfer subconsciously made a block with his hand, but it protected his face well, but the ball didn't fly far.
A big problem at the back for Anderlecht is clearly on display, with their defenders paying too much attention to football.
The moment Lin Yi picked up the pass for Reuss to cut forward, Anderlecht's four defenders except for Mbemba who pounced on Lin Yi, the other three all recovered in front of their own goal, trying to block or clear the ball. But when Royfer hit the ball out and Lin Yi grabbed the first landing point of the football, they were horrified to find that there was no one defending within a meter of Lin Yi's body!
"Lin Yi makes a supplementary shot! Ball! Enter! Finish! Duan Xuan seemed to have forgotten that he had made a bet with Xu Yang at this moment, and roared loudly.
The people who lost the bet were so excited, and Xu Yang, who had the best of both worlds, had no reason to be too low, and he also shouted.
"This goal fully shows Lin Yi's potential in the forward position, his judgment of the second landing point and the choice of action in the penalty area are really wonderful. He was also very decisive in this shot, leaving the Anderlecht defenders completely helpless. ”
Nuudink faced his own goal, while the other two centre-backs looked at each other.
They thought that after Royfer got the ball out, someone would go over and clear the ball and drive it straight to the front.
But no, each of them was thinking a little too much.
Faced with a goal that is almost unguarded, and a defense that is completely empty and can even be aimed at when you get up.
Lin Yi was really embarrassed to refuse such a big gift, he directly raised his foot and pulled, and then scored the ball with a volley.
Anderlecht didn't have long to rejoice before his slight advantage was lost.
Weidenfeller, who was standing in front of the Dortmund goal, let out a sigh of relief and drew a cross on his chest with both hands, thanking God.
If the team loses the game, the person who conceded the goal must be the culprit.
Although it won't have any real impact on him, it's still a bad feeling.
Fortunately, Lin Yi's shot brought the team and the opponent back to the same running line.
In the next game, Anderlecht, don't think about scoring again!
Weidenfeller secretly spontaneously ruthless, turned around and raised his hand to punch the crossbar of the goal, as if to motivate himself.
Royce, whose shot was saved, ran to Lin Yi and spread his hands helplessly, "It's really difficult to score a goal." ”
Lin Yi nodded with a very unbeaten look, "Yes, it's really not easy to score a goal with just a kick." ”
Royce was obviously used to Lin Yi not opening a pot, so he just rolled his eyes and gave him a punch.
In the commentary room at this time, Xu Yang was also having such an "exchange" with Duan Xuan, but their communication was physical.
Xu Yang made a "thank you" gesture to Duan Xuan very arrogantly, Duan Xuan had no complaints about losing this gamble, after all, he, like many people, was first a fan of Lin Yi, and then a fan of Dortmund.
Klopp's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he let out a sigh of relief and turned to call Kyle.
"Sebastian, you tell Henrik to warm up, I see that Kaka is about to reach his limit, and also, tell Nuri to go too."
There was no excitement in Borussia Dortmund after the goal, as they were not aiming for more than just a draw.
Royce muttered something to Lin Yi as he waited for his opponent to kick off, and in the end, the audience only saw Lin Yi nodding.
Anderlecht looked a little impatient after kick-off, and was tied by their opponents after taking the lead, which was not a comfortable thing to do.
Lin Yi captured this very well, and he decisively retreated to the midfield and fought with his opponent.
The impatience of the opponent is a good thing for Dortmund, because against such an opponent, what they need to do is to stabilize the tempo and look for opportunities to strike a lethal blow, while slowing down the tempo and controlling the game is just enough to keep the exhausted Kaka from becoming a burden to the team.
Lin Yi can see this, and Anderlecht's head coach naturally can't see it.
It's a pity that his team's grasp of the rhythm of the game is very immature in front of a team like Dortmund.
At the end of the first half, the exhausted Anderlecht players were all out of breath.
Especially Prayet, who was trying to maximize his advantage, he felt a little unsupported in the first half of the game.
On Dortmund's side, except for Kaka, who was already physically average, there was nothing wrong with the others.
Everyone knows that Kaka, who was put down by his teammates, will definitely not play again in the second half.
But what about Anderlecht's side? Their head coach was also counting on Prayet to make the breakthrough in the second half with his individual ability and his perk-good long-range shot, helping to open things up in some cases.
At half-time, Anderlecht's side made a very detailed and well-thought-out arrangement.
Klopp, on the other hand, simply made some demands on Lin Yi and Reus, as well as Aubameyang, and stopped talking.
Kaka has collapsed in his seat and does not want to move, and since the age of twenty-seven, Kaka, who has been focusing on recuperation and recovery every season, has almost played as much as he did in a full season at Real Madrid.
The physical problems that he had not paid much attention to before, this time he could be regarded as getting enough attention.
Maybe I should also practice with Lin.
Lin Yi and Royce sat together, and the two of them discussed some of the opponent's situation in the first half in a low voice.
At the same time, Royce did not forget to continue to repeat to Lin Yi the topic he began to talk about after Lin Yi scored.
"Pass me a ball, my goals this season feel a bit pitiful, if you don't pass me a few more, I'll be left behind."
Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders, "Dude, I was waiting to see you score after that pass, who would have thought that you would be so useless?" It was blocked directly, I knew you were like that, I might as well shoot it directly. ”
Royce was choked by Lin Yi, and after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't say anything else.
His kick is indeed a bit of a qualityless, even if it is an arc, it will not be blocked by the opponent so easily. Huh? That's not right! If it weren't for my kick that caught your opponent's attention, how would you kid have a chance to hit that almost empty shot?
Lin Yi seemed to see his thoughts, "Man, you believe me, if that ball is not passed to you, I can also pass the opponent and then shoot with a similar situation." ”
"No, I don't believe it, you certainly can't."
"Trust me, I can do it, don't you know my strength?"
"I don't know, I only saw you have a good pick up after I shoot, and I don't see anything else."
"Alright! I'll admit that, after your not-so-successful shot, I demonstrated what a successful shot is. ”
The two of them are arguing here, and no matter what, you can feel that they are still very relaxed.
Anderlecht's side didn't actually have much psychological pressure, and even after the first half, they were more convinced that they were no worse than Borussia Dortmund.
But their physical energy was too much to wear out in the first half, so how long can they last in the second half?
"In fact, it can be seen that Anderlecht, as the hegemon of the Belgian League, is still very strong, and they played back and forth with Dortmund in the first half, but after being equalised, you can feel that they are a little nervous."
'That's right, especially in their midfield, because they were too impatient to take the lead again. Then they lost their rhythm and were completely led by the nose by Borussia Dortmund, and if they didn't adjust in the second half, I think with the quality of Dortmund's side, it would be a matter of time before they scored. ”
"That's it! The break was over and Borussia Dortmund made a substitution, a regular one for them, with Kaka coming off and coming on for Mechtaryan. It is not difficult to find that Lin Yi has been playing as a center forward for more and more time recently, and Immobile and Ramos seem to be playing less and less. ”
"It's really like this, I used to replace Kaka with a striker, and then Lin Yi returned to the position of the forward midfielder. That's all changed now. ”
"But it's not difficult to understand, because Mechtaryan himself is also a very good midfielder, if it weren't for Lin Yi's improvement too fast, in fact, Mechtaryan should be Dortmund's main midfielder now, right?"
The two men analyzed that the players of both teams had returned to the field.
Lin Yi and Mechtaryan stood in the center circle and prepared to kick off, and Mechtaryan moved his body.
"I was in a hurry to see you guys play in the first half, and I can't wait to go up and destroy these opponents."
After saying this, he took the ball that Lin Yi gave him and stepped back.
Anderlecht's midfield was clearly guided by the manager, and in the second half they slowed down significantly, no longer trying to play the kind of particularly fast and intense confrontation with Dortmund, but wanted to try to toss the opponent like Dortmund in the first half.
However, this routine did not work, and Gundogan just passed a few feet casually and controlled the ball.
"It's been 10 minutes since the start of the second half, and both teams are playing unhurriedly, which is a bit of a surprise to me."
"Coach Xu, do you think that there will be a goal within the first five minutes of the second half?"
'From the way it was at the end of the first half, it was true, but unfortunately both teams made changes at half-time. In this way, Dortmund's advantage is much smaller, after all, Anderlecht's defense is not so easy to penetrate in positional battles. ”
Jurgen Klopp sat quietly on the sidelines, scribbling back and forth with a tactical board, and occasionally communicating with Kyle.
Kaka, who was sitting behind him, could only hear him muttering over and over again, "Don't let Lin try a solo attack so early......"
Twenty minutes into the second half were fast enough to pass and the score was still 1-1, with neither team able to score any more.
