Chapter 292: It's Not That Simple
The game seems to go on step by step towards Haike's expectations.
Especially Luo Bao's pressing, he is like a perpetual motion machine from the entire midfield to the big penalty area, as long as the Dortmund players pass the half, he will stare at the team carrier and run.
And Luo Bao basically doesn't kick at will under the guidance of Haike, but he just relies on his body to keep squeezing the opponent, and Luo Bao's speed itself is not slow, and it is generally difficult for those who are targeted by him to take the ball down.
Even the passing was reluctant.
And this short ten minutes of defense finally made Luo Bao also enter everyone's eyes, and Duan Xuan, who was sitting in the live broadcast hall, hurriedly turned out Luo Bao's information, and then immediately explained.
"When the squad appeared, I saw the Roche brothers appear in the starting line-up, to say something offensive, I thought Jena had given up this game, the number of times the two started was basically only a handful, although the performance in the game was not bad, but the offensive ability should be very weak in the eyes of the German Second Division, I didn't expect the two to start in this game, and the performance in the opening game was remarkable"
Due to the lack of information about the two brothers, Duan Xuan was a little incoherent for a while, although he had watched the game between the two starters in the German Second League, but the strengths and weaknesses of the two were as obvious, so he always thought that the two were Jena's bench players, but what he didn't expect was that the head coach of Jena didn't think so, and the way this game was played was obviously to block Dortmund's attack with the help of Luo Bao's running ability.
And Luo Bao did not disappoint his head coach, from the beginning of the game to the present, he seems to be tireless, like a standard ball-grabbing machine.
"Actually, you still missed someone," Tao Wei said in a rare interjection in the middle of Duan Xuan's speech.
"Oh?"
"Although Luo Bao's performance is eye-catching, but in my opinion, his younger brother Luo Yu is the hero of this time, although he is not as active as Luo Bao and not as active as him, but we can pay attention to Luo Yu's defensive efficiency is very high, and he has done a beautiful job of assisting defense and filling leaks several times."
Just when Tao Wei finished speaking, Luo Yu intercepted a beautiful straight plug again on TV.
"It's still Director Tao's eyes, it's not a loss, it's professional" Duan Xuan decisively patted Tao Wei on the back, and Tao Wei shook his head and continued: "However, these two brothers are seriously biased, and the two of them are not much help to the team on the offensive end, although Jena has defended beautifully during this time, but there are no bright spots in the attack, and they are basically pressed and beaten by Dortmund"
"Coach Tao, let's not be too forceful, it's rare for a team to have three of our people starting, not to mention that there has never been one in Germany or even in the world."
"That's ...... too"
But Tao Wei is really right, the two brothers do have obvious shortcomings in attack, although Haike also knows, but he doesn't care, since he knows that the two brothers have been in contact with football for a shorter time than Ye Xin, he feels that he has picked up another bargain, not to mention that now the two are also playing well in the competition with Dortmund.
Although under their own explanation, the two usually pass out quickly after getting the ball, or kick out when it is not safe, which causes the two to perform very badly on offense, but during this time, Haike is still very satisfied with the two.
The more satisfied Heiko is, the more Jurgen Klopp, the head coach of Borussia Dortmund, takes Jena seriously.
Although Dortmund's starting game did not have the core at the beginning, it does not mean that he despises this team, especially Jena's Ye Xin impressed him very deeply, to be honest, he himself had the idea of buying Ye Xin, but he always firmly believed that football is a sport of eleven people, Ye Xin has not been broken through the goal until now because of his own strength, and the second is that the strongest opponent he has encountered now is only the team in Germany's three tiers, so their defense has not really been defeated.
Dortmund's attacking power is not comparable to these teams, and even in attack, he thinks his team is on par with Bayern, and the team's bench depth is enough, so he doesn't think it will be too difficult in this game.
And watching the team work hard is also his style, not to mention that this game is the German Cup, he wants the team to do well in the league and then qualify for the Champions League than the German Cup.
So he didn't let a few core players play in this game so that they could rest, and now it's still early before the winter break, and there is still a big wave of games waiting for them later.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that Jena didn't set up a 3-4-1-2 attack formation as usual, nor did she put a balanced 4-4-2 attack and defense, but made a typical defensive counterattack 4-5-1 formation with a back midfield.
And this midfielder is still a defensive midfielder, coupled with his destructive big feet and running range that can never be seen in midfield, Jurgen Klopp can see at a glance that this midfielder is the quintessential blue-collar role in the Jena team, a player who is willing to do dirty work and hard work, where did Heiko find it?
The blue-collar midfielder also made Dortmund's attack look flashy but ineffective, and although the team's high and pressing attack allowed Jena to be beaten passively, it was not the same situation that Jurgen Klopp would like to see.
After about 20 minutes, Jurgen Klopp decided to make a small change, after all, he still wanted Dortmund to win a big win at home, even if it was only the German Cup.
He patted his assistant coach Achim on the shoulder, then whispered a few words, and after a while Achim nodded and went to the sidelines.
Riding a dead ball, he calls for captain Kyle.
"Kyle, you and Siwen pressed across the halfway line, and moved from midfield to midfield, understand?"
"Yes, I see"
Jurgen Klopp was a star of the Bundesliga as a manager, despite not being a great player in his playing days, and after taking over Thomas Doerr in May 2008, he moved Borussia Dortmund from 13th place in the league to sixth in one season, beating Bayern Munich in the Super Cup.
A Dortmund whose morale had fallen to its lowest point was, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was saved by himself.
So at Dortmund he was even more dazzling than the team's star players, and as he led Dortmund to go from strength to strength, he had already conquered Dortmund's discerning fans.
And what matches it is his strong coaching ability and game reading ability.
After a simple double back move forward, the Jena defense, which had just been smooth, was immediately stretched.
