Chapter 283: It's Not Enough
Although Borussia Dortmund did get their wish and scored a crucial goal in the opening period. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But at the moment, they still don't feel that this game is really going into the direction they wanted.
In other words, the 3-0 aggregate scoreline, combined with Barcelona's comeback, did not make them feel like they were winning.
Against an opponent like Barcelona, you really can't relax for a moment.
The football from Longlake flew to the front, but Lin Yi did not receive the football smoothly.
Sergio Busquets jammed him from behind with his not very strong body, giving him no chance to successfully turn around and get around.
Lin Yi reacted quickly, he used his back to push Busquets, and then bounced forward with his strength.
After a little distance from Sergio Busquets, he turned around quickly, and he was sure that he should be quicker than the Barca midfielders.
But when he turned around and was about to accelerate, the scene was awkward.
Busquets remained indifferent, just standing there staring at his actions.
In other words, he blocked himself and completely separated the ball from himself.
Depend on! Am I owing him any money to this guy?
Lin Yi's footsteps were blocked again and again, and Pique had already grabbed it and controlled the ball.
Xavi, who had not received the ball on the right side of Barcelona a few times, beckoned to Pique, who made a decisive move.
"Barcelona has given enough respect to Lin Yi today, and now this is Busquets defending Lin Yi alone."
This kind of man-to-man defense is actually used by other teams when dealing with Barcelona, and Barcelona rarely has the opportunity to use this defensive style because of its technical and tactical lead.
But it cannot be ignored and denied that Busquets, as an excellent midfielder, is also a good player.
It seems that now, he has done a very good job of restricting and involving Lin Yi.
Xavi received the ball, and Lin Yi watched as the senior, who was much shorter than him, controlled the ball and twisted past Durm.
Then he couldn't help but turn to look at Busquets and ask him in English.
"Hello? Why don't you go up and join the attack? ”
Busquets looked at the striker who was not much shorter than himself, but was faster and more agile than himself.
"Why don't you go back and get involved in the defense?"
"My teammates are strong defensively, they don't need me at all."
"It's a coincidence, I'm just like you, but my teammates are strong offensively."
After listening to Busquets's words, combined with the current situation, Lin Yi has confirmed his judgment in his heart.
But it wasn't a big deal, because Klopp had told him about it before the game.
Lin Yi was tired of Busquets, and at the same time gestured to Gundogan in the backfield covertly.
This was also agreed before the game, Gundogan, as a defender who has both attack and defense, can be on top as a playmaker when Lin Yi drags Busquets.
Busquets restrained Lin Yi here, but while Lin Yi was restricted by him, why didn't he involve him?
In Barcelona's team, apart from Messi, there is no absolute distinction between defensive players and offensive players.
Sergio Busquets has always had a big role to play in attack.
What Lin Yi didn't know was that in the eyes of Barcelona at the moment, dealing with himself was the first priority in this game.
Xavi used his own speed to get rid of Durm, and without passing, he dribbled himself.
"Barcelona don't have Sergio Busquets to tandem the attack and defense, so Xavi has to do the job."
As he gets older, Xavi, whose physical fitness, speed and reflexes are declining, has nothing to do but organize the attack and control the rhythm.
There is Sergio Busquets in tandem, and Iniesta is involved in the breakthrough.
Of course, there's one of the most reliable guys waiting in front of him to give him a pass at the crucial moment.
Xavi, who was running, suddenly got up and passed the ball through a very narrow gap to the edge of the Dortmund penalty area.
Lin Yi, who was continuing to communicate with Busquets, had actually been paying attention to Xavi's actions, and his eyes were also shining at this time.
That's what the media has been promoting all along, and it's a nightmare for a lot of defensive players.
From Harvey, scalpel-like straight plug.
The pass was abruptly abrupt, and the power and speed caught the Dortmund defenders off guard.
Kyle, the veteran captain, who is also old, didn't even have time to stretch his leg before the football rolled past his feet.
"Harvey's straight stopper! Cesc Fabregas received his pass, chance! ”
It's an opportunity, but the person who catches the ball is not the best option.
If it's Messi who catches the ball this time, with his dribbling and speed, there are at least six ways to shake off Subotic.
But Cesc Fabregas didn't, and he could only retreat after receiving the ball, controlling the ball at his feet and pulling it back.
Subotic didn't expect him to do this, but as the main centre-back of the Bundesliga champions, he was definitely not slow to react.
He took a quick half-step back and opened up the distance between himself and Cesc Fabregas, which was equivalent to leaving room for the ball.
Lin Yi in the front court was nervous at this time, and shouted, "Newen, go up!" ”
Busquets stood beside Lin Yi, pressed his shoulder against his, and nodded admiringly.
'If you don't play as an attacking player and you transition into a central midfielder, I think it would be a good choice.
Lin Yi's shouting was not voice-controlled, and it was impossible for it to take effect immediately, so although his judgment was accurate, it was still too late.
Cesc Fabregas took advantage of the gap in Subotic's retreat to pick up the ball and pass it to the space behind him.
There were no Dortmund players who made up the defense, only Messi, who suddenly got rid of Hummels and inserted it.
Messi has only touched the ball so far in this game, but it doesn't matter, as a striker, taking advantage of the few chances has always been the most important subject and task.
Xiaofa's pick pass was very accurate, and when it fell, Messi just stretched out his left foot to unload the ball in front of him.
Lin Yi, who was in the opponent's backfield, also clearly saw Messi's stoppage, and couldn't help but praise it.
After the falling ball was caught at Messi's feet, he neither jumped nor rolled, as if it was attached to his left foot.
Of course, this kind of praise is only for a moment, because Lin Yi has to worry more about his teammates.
When Messi stopped the ball, it looked like he dribbled two steps forward and shot directly.
Once he was allowed to shoot so easily in the box, Longerak was definitely unlucky.
"Danger! Clever combination at the edge of the Barcelona penalty area! Oh! Kyle! He retreated from the midfield position in time to the penalty area and tackled the ball from the side! ”
The ball was kicked off the sideline, and Kyle, who rolled over from the ground and got up, was also afraid.
If he takes a step slower and waits for his left foot to circle the ball back to the inside, then this kick can be regarded as a gift to Barcelona.
Fortunately, my old guy is still somewhat useful.
Langlak, who was already about to leave the door, shouted in his heart to thank God, and then pulled the captain who had saved him in God's place.
Kyle still turned around and patted him on the shoulder, "It's still very decisive!" But there's us! ”
Then, without waiting for Longlak to say anything else, he turned around and called out the names of several defenders to take their positions in the box.
If it weren't for a slight twist of his ankle at the moment of tackling the ball, the ball might have been a corner.
But even if it's a throw-in, it doesn't seem so easy to defend in this position.
In particular, several players who are good at breaking through the opponent looked very good today.
"Barcelona got a throw-in, and if you have a lot of power in this position, it's not inferior to a corner."
Zhang Lu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Duan Xuan say this, if Pique couldn't press into the penalty area, it would be really not easy to grab a header from the heads of Hummels and Subotic.
And in addition to Pique, Busquets, another high point, is also still waiting near the center circle.
Lin looked at Xavi, who was about to throw a throw-in, and couldn't help but say another word to Busquets.
"You have a chance in the penalty area, you need a high point, don't you have to go up?"
"I think Sesk is pretty tall."
Lin Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly, "No, it's actually not enough, you compare him with Mats." ”
Busquets simply stopped talking, staring at Dortmund's penalty area, but he didn't mean to let Lin Yi go at all.
Okay, since you're so willing to drag it with me, then let's drag it, anyway, now we're 3-0!
'The ball was thrown into the box, but it didn't work, Hummels pushed the ball out.
The two teams fell into a tug-of-war like this, although Barcelona found some form in attack, but Dortmund's backline is not papery, and it is not easy to score.
Fabregas's performance in the forward position today is still remarkable, and he played the expected effect of the "three-core" with Xavi and Iniesta.
But sometimes that's the case, goals don't just come by words.
For the remainder of the first half, Cesc Fabregas had two shots from the top of the box that grazed the left and right posts and flew out of bounds.
Messi's free-kick hit the crossbar.
Pedro's follow-up shot was saved by Hummels on the goal-line.
There was also Neymar who made a brilliant cut down the flank, but he hesitated between the pass and the shot, so the ball was eventually cut off.
It can be said that after the entire first half of the game, Barcelona has swept away the decline of conceding goals before and completely took the initiative on the field.
When the half-time whistle blew, Jurgen Klopp let out a sigh of relief.
After watching the performance of the players in the first half, he was very worried about the team.
The three-goal advantage seems not small, but again, when facing Barcelona, you can't let your guard down.
The players from both teams walked off the pitch together and prepared to return to their respective locker rooms.
Lin Yi suddenly turned his head to look at Busquets at this time, and then shouted at him loudly.
"Hey! Are you going to follow me like that in the second half? ”
Busquets looked at him noncommittally, "Look at what the coach has arranged, do you think I want to follow you all the time?" ”
Lin Yi shrugged his shoulders, "If you don't want to, you can not follow!" The coach is not always right, maybe you should play as a striker. ”
When he walked into his locker room, Lin Yi smiled strangely at Royce.
"I'm going to eat something like an onion in a minute, and the second half makes that guy feel terrible, what do you think?"
Royce frowned, "That's a good idea, but if you do, don't talk to us." ”
Saying this, everyone was already sitting in front of their seats, drinking water to regain their strength.
Lewandowski, Reuss and Lin Yi didn't feel so tired relatively speaking, and Lin Yi felt that the most physically demanding thing he seemed to do in the first half seemed to be chatting with Busquets.
As for Lewandowski and Reus, in the second half of the first half, they have been witnessing their defenders being ravaged in the front court, and this kind of thing seems to be nothing too tiring.
In the first half, Klopp was really nervous, and Lin Yi noticed that he was even sweating on his beard at this time.
"In the game just now, you played a little problematic, when Lin was restricted, Ilka, don't retreat too far, go forward and put some pressure on the opponent, otherwise the pressure on the back line is too much."
"And! Lin, you remember to take Busquets to the wing, because Marco and Robert are in the middle, and Irka is also in the middle when he is plugged in, leaving room in the middle. ”
Lin Yi listened to Klopp's arrangement and nodded to make it clear.
I don't know if he'll follow me when I get to the side.
Jurgen Klopp picked up the tactical board in a rare way and sketched it out, and it was clear that he wanted to play something different in the second half.
In the visitors' dressing room, Martino was standing in front of the tactical board, but it was not him who was talking, but Xavi and Puyol.
Seriously, Martino doesn't know what kind of set-up he can make to change the team's disadvantage.
However, it can be seen that the style of play suggested by Xavi in the first half was very good, and if it wasn't for bad luck, the score might have been rewritten.
'In the second half, Sesk pulled back a little bit, Leo, you look for chances in the box. Then Pedro and Neymar, in the first half you two were very good on the wings, and in the second half, you cut more inside, and if you can't find a passing opportunity, you shoot! ”
Harvey said this, drawing three lines and a circle on the tactical board.
"In the first half, we didn't put enough pressure on the opponent, we pressed a little harder, first suppressed their attack, and then looked for opportunities!"
Martino looked at his players and thought to himself: It seems that my level is not enough, and the decision to take over this team was still too rash. (To be continued.) )
