Chapter 162: Losing streak
"Lin with his feet! Sideways direct volley! Leonard! Another great save! ”
Mechtayan's pass was already very good, and Lin Yi's shot was also completed after adjustment, and he played comfortably. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The shot was also accurate, and although the ball was drifting upwards, it looked like it should have been a shot that bounced straight under the crossbar.
It's a pity that everyone's speculation and prediction were finally destroyed by Reina's horizontal stretch.
Lin was also a little impatient as he watched Reyna destroy one of his most threatening shots of the game.
After stomping his foot hard, he ran to the corner flag, placed the ball on the ground that the caddy had thrown him, and began to retreat.
In the face of such a difficult situation, set-pieces are a tool worth using.
Dortmund's corners can create a threat in their own right, with Robert Lewandowski and Subotic and Hummels at the back all headers, all three of whom are running around in the box to try to attract some defence to their team-mates.
Lin Yi gestured to the penalty area and began to run. In fact, there are people in the Dortmund players who don't understand what this gesture means. And Lewandowski, after seeing this gesture, took a few steps back in his heart and began to accumulate strength.
Lin Yi's corner kick fell to the middle of the penalty area with a spin, and Lewandowski, who came in from outside the penalty area, bounced up with his momentum and bouncing power, and pressed him to smash the ball into the goal before Albiol cleared the ball.
This header is very solid, powerful and fast, but unfortunately the angle is average, and the ball flies to the head of Reina, the middle of the goal.
Reyna was given a good position and position, sinking back and then raising his hands to grab the ball.
'Reyna was in great form today, he kept Dortmund's attacks out of the door and was flawless.
The fans at the Stadio de São Paulo were also impressed by the wonderful performance of their goalkeeper, and of course they did not hesitate to praise and cheer, and after this save, the whole stadium chanted Reina's name and cheered for his save.
It's not that Reina hasn't gotten this kind of treatment, but it's been a long time since I've gotten it.
Spurred on by the cheers of the fans, Reyna himself became excited, he kicked the ball out with his big foot, and then lowered his head and roared twice.
I don't know if he's cheering himself up or deterring his opponent, anyway, Reina's momentum is up now.
The kick went far and the ball fell to Hamsik.
Still apprehensive by his opponent's attack just now, he turned around quickly, and he wanted to create a wave of damage to his opponent while Hummels had not yet returned to his position.
But he found that he was thinking too well, and as soon as he turned around, before he could break through, he found that he was stuck.
Shaheen didn't know when he had retreated in front of him, and he was stuck in his path.
Hamshik slammed the ball in a change of direction to break through, but Shaheen was resolute with his legs spread across and pressed against him.
It was actually a good opportunity to wear a crotch, but Hamshik didn't do that, because even if he wore his opponent's crotch, he couldn't get past Shahin who was so close to him.
After all, Hamsik is not Messi's kind of player who can complete a wonderful escape from a small area, so he was stuck by Shahin and had to pull the ball back and prepare to pass.
Shahin, who has always relied on technical defense, finally showed his tough side at this time.
When Hamsik pulled the ball back, he stretched out his long legs and poked the ball out, not only the ball, but even Hamshik was knocked to the ground by him.
The Slovak fell to the ground and immediately raised his hand to signal to the referee for a foul, but the referee did not blow the whistle, and Shaheen did not stop, he stepped past Hamshik, controlled the ball that was stabbed out by himself, and rushed forward.
Hamshik saw the referee's reaction, got up unhappily and chased after Shahin.
"Borussia Dortmund started the second half with a lot of toughness! Shahin actually broke such a ball. ”
"Hey, hey! Shaheen's meaning is simple, I don't just want to break the ball! I'm going to go up and attack! Dort's counterattack was very quick and fast, let's see if they can create a certain threat! Ay! Pass the ball! Royce! Break through the wings! ”
After receiving Shahin's cross, Reus took a sideways step, opened his legs and began to cut inside.
Not only was he big, but he was also fast, and Mesto, who was in charge of defending him, was powerless to stop his advance.
Barriti, who was worried that Royce would break through and create a threat, had no choice but to give up on Lin Yi and chase back from the side to prevent Royce.
During the run, the handsome German guy suddenly flicked the ball and passed the ball to Lin Yi's feet, and Lin Yi was unguarded at the moment!
Lin Yi took two steps forward with the ball, and just when everyone thought he was going to break through, he coldly picked up his right leg again! Long shot! This gap! Absolutely! There's no way you're going to be able to hold it! Leonard! Go ahead!
"Lin shoots from a distance with his feet! The power is amazing! Leonard! Oh! Entered?! Oops, Zuniga! It's Zuniga again! He was able to do such a move! He is a bitter master of Dortmund today! Disrupted all their offenses. ”
Zuniga was lying on the ground at this time, looking up at the sky, and let out a sigh of relief.
Klopp, who thought the goal had finally come, stared at the scene in disbelief.
Zuniga took advantage of the downward trend of the football before Lin Yi's long-range shot was about to go in, and followed up with a barb to clear the ball......
Dortmund's attack was once again ruined by him, and Napoli fans were already crazy at this time, taking the opponent!
Before the game, Napoli fans were thinking about a draw, and when they led by two goals in the first half, they were thinking about how to block the opposition's attack and try to win.
But now, after seeing the heroic state of their players, they finally have the confidence to match their ambitions.
"Kill Dortmund!"
"Defeat them!"
"Let them go back to Germany!"
"Defeat them! First in the group! ”
Such shouts filled the entire São Paulo stadium for a while, and the raising of his arms and shouts after Zuniga rolled over and climbed up made the fans at the scene even more excited.
Lin Yi, who failed to shoot from a distance, kicked the air hard, spat out and then turned around and returned to his own half to continue the game.
Kyle, who was sitting next to Klopp, had a worried face, the old captain who was able to calm down his teammates at halftime, finally realized that something was wrong at this moment, and if it went on like this, I was afraid that something would really happen.
The team's form has already taken a hit, and with the odds of one or the other, Napoli have clearly taken advantage of all aspects.
Klopp finally couldn't sit still, he stood up and came to the sidelines, shouting to call the somewhat impatient Lin Yi to his side.
"Control the football first, don't attack it! Or handle the game the way you do best, don't rush! Steady! ”
Lin Yi's eyes nodded a little blankly, and he didn't know if he had heard what the head coach said.
Klopp didn't have time to say anything more, so he retreated Lin Yi to the court, and the game continued.
Napoli's counter-attack was threatening, and Dortmund couldn't afford to let them do that.
Although Lin Yi does not participate in defense, it is still necessary to keep him in the front court to create a little psychological pressure on Napoli.
Zuniga hooked the ball to the feet of Behrami, and the big man still didn't do much in the offensive end of the game, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to attack.
After receiving the crooked ball that landed at his feet, Behrami knocked the ball and turned to accelerate directly.
Schmelzer, who had never received too much pressure from him, was a little uncomfortable by his sudden force, and before he could keep up, he let Behrami rush to his side.
This time, Schmelzer missed the opportunity for this duel, and Schmelzer, who could not get him stuck on the outside, could only press Behrami with his body from the side, making him a little pressure when cutting inside.
However, Schmelzer's move gave Behrami a chance.
Mesto, who had been suppressed by Reuss around his penalty area and had no chance to come forward, also unknowingly pressed into Dortmund's half, and Schmelzer, who followed Behrami, left a large gap behind him, and Behrami just plugged the ball in the opposite direction and passed to Mesto's feet.
As a full-back, Mesto is best at 45-degree diagonal passes, and after receiving a pass from Behrami, he sent the ball directly into the penalty area without waiting for anyone to come up and interfere.
It wasn't exactly a precise pass, but it was timely.
Higuain and Callejon went hand in hand and rushed out of Hummels' side together.
Subotic was able to make up for it in time, and as soon as he got stuck on Higuain, Callejon saw the stitches and managed to rush to the goal, with no one around him defending.
Mesto's pass was on point and landed in front of Callejon.
Weidenfeller didn't feel good, and this time he chose to go out and get the ball straight under his opponent's feet.
Callejon, who had a decent skill at his feet and only needed to avoid Weidenfeller to score a goal, didn't want to miss such a great opportunity, he stared at the goalkeeper in front of him very intently, and the moment he rushed in front of him, he stretched out his foot and picked it up!
The ball flew over Weidenfeller's head, who had begun to lower his center of gravity, and although Weidenfeller tried his best to get up and reach for the ball, he was unable to do so.
The ball flew in an arc, flying over Weidenfeller's head and into the goal.
3 to 0!
Napoli's fans were already able to celebrate the victory, shouting Callejon's name.
Only Weidenfeller, who was kneeling on the ground, stared at Callejon's back as he left to celebrate.
What the hell is wrong with me today?! Such shots and attacks directly form goals?!
"Oops! Dortmund re-attacked, this opponent's attack today is really a bit ferocious. 3-0, I think there should be no suspense in this game. ”
Duan Xuan made an evaluation very objectively, and although Zhang Lu, who was sitting next to him, didn't want to admit it, he could only nod.
Three goals down, and the team's form is not good, plus they are still facing a well-defended Serie A runners-up.
It's not easy to fight back......
After explaining a few words to Lin Yi, Klopp, who had not had time to return to his seat, saw the goal, turned around and kicked the water bottle at his feet, and then sat in his seat, his hands around his chest and silent.
The Dortmund players on the field are also a little panicked at this time, since the beginning of this season, they have never been beaten like this by their opponents!
A week ago, didn't we beat our opponents by a big score? How did the situation change all of a sudden? Something is wrong! It can't be said that it's because Napoli is lucky, right?!
Lin Yi was standing in the middle circle, and he was no longer in the mood to go back and take the ball back to the midfield to prepare for kickoff.
That's how I lost......
If the pressure brought by the first two goals can be converted into the motivation for Dortmund to continue fighting, then this third goal can be said to directly crush Dortmund.
Jurgen Klopp is no longer thinking about how to beat his opponents, and now all he needs to do is to preserve the team's strength.
Thinking so, he turned his head and called out Hoffman and Dukesch, who had not played for a long time, as well as Sven, who was the main force but had a break in this game. Bend.
"Let's warm up! When there is dead ball time, go straight to the game, replace Marko, Nuri and Lindu and let them rest. ”
The replacement of two attacking players who have little chance to play is to give Lin Yi and Reus a rest, and the replacement of a main player who is better at defense is to make his team lose a few fewer goals, so as not to weaken the Champions League game at the beginning because of goal difference.
This substitution strategy, which has been close to compromise, naturally failed to bring much help to the team.
In the midst of mixed emotions, Dortmund lost their first Champions League game of the season.
At the same time, it also ushered in a sudden losing streak, losing to Hamburg in the league and Napoli in the Champions League.
No one knows what's wrong with them, maybe they're tired, right?
After the game, Lin Yi did nothing and went straight back to the locker room, so Higuain, who wanted to exchange jerseys with him, did not find a chance.
He was joined by Royce, who went into the team's dressing room one after the other.
It's not that the losing streak is unacceptable, but it's just that they have played like this for two consecutive games, which makes Lin Yi, as the organizer, and Royce, who is the core of the attack, feel shameless. (To be continued.) )
