Chapter 147: Change of Tactics

Although Lewandowski's goal did not score, it also shocked the Shakhtar Donetsk fans in a cold sweat, and they booed loudly, just to hide their uneasiness and worry.

It was not until this time that everyone suddenly woke up to the fact that Lin Yu was not a striker, he was a fullback, his most powerful thing was not to score, but to instigate an attack, you can prevent him from shooting, but you can't prevent him from instigating an attack, if he doesn't make it happen, he will give you a wonderful assist, then it will be troublesome.

Because now Shakhtar Donetsk has taken care of Lin Yu, it is no longer so easy for him to pass people with the ball, and it is no longer so easy to counter offside, but Lewandowski, who is tall, has more attacking space.

Seeing the pass just now, Klopp suddenly thought of one thing - since the opponent was so close to Lin Yu, why not simply free him from attacking? His way of playing the ball, when instigating the attack, is more threatening than breaking through with the ball himself, just like Fang Cai's accurate long pass, although it failed to be converted into a goal, but it is almost the same, as long as he passes such a threatening ball a few more times, with Lewandowski's ability, can't he score a goal?

And before Lin Yu's offensive core was determined, the whole team's offense revolved around Lewandowski, which is nothing new, so the team must be able to adapt quickly.

So in a dead-ball state, Klopp called Lin Yu and Lewandowski and told them his thoughts.

"Lin Yu, if you don't have a particularly good chance next, don't rush to break through with the ball, use your pass to tear through the opponent's defense, with Lewandowski here, it shouldn't be difficult to convert it into a goal!"

"Lewandowski, you remember to shoot more, don't be afraid of not being able to score!"

Although Lin Yu likes to attack, he is not an unorganized and undisciplined person, and he also thinks that Klopp's idea is right, although he can still pass people now, and he can shoot, but it is much more difficult than in the first half, as long as he gets the ball, there will be three or four people coming to wrap him, which makes him very uncomfortable, and the physical consumption is also a lot, although his physical strength is very good, but he can't withstand such consumption.

But passing the ball is different, he has a skill to kick the ball, as long as he gets the ball, he can pass the ball out in an instant, which not only attracts the opponent's defense, but also creates a threat, which is far better than him doing it alone with the ball.

What if you don't score? I've scored one, and then it's just a matter of helping the team win, winning the game, and slapping the faces of the people who booed me.

Lewandowski is of course very excited that he can get unlimited firing rights, he is originally a striker, if he just blindly makes a bridgehead that can only make balls, it will gradually wear out his sharpness, that is not a good thing, download the coach told him that he can fire infinitely, then what else is there to say.

Lin Yu and Lewandowski high-fived and said, "Brother, wait for me to deliver you cannonballs." ”

"Don't worry, I won't let your pass go to waste." Lewandowski also laughed.

When the two returned to the pitch and communicated the new arrangement to several of the frontcourt players, everyone expressed their absolute support.

"Lin Yu, your time in Dortmund is not short, we believe in your ability, with your level and mind, there is no problem at all in passing a few threatening balls, and the next thing will be handed over to Lewandowski, he will not let down your pass." Ge Ce said to Lin Yu with a smile.

Speaking of which, when Lin Yu came to Dortmund, Gotze was already a very famous star, and he also won last year's Golden Boy Award, which is definitely the best among the younger generation, but that's it, Gotze has never looked down on him, and even gave him a lot of help.

Even in the game, Lin Yu's light overshadowed Gotze's performance, and Gotze never complained, he was definitely a good buddy to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu came to Germany at a young age, and he basically didn't make friends in the three years of the Leverkusen academy, not that the people there were very bad, but the key was that he didn't know German at the time.

But since he came to Dortmund, he has basically become one with the whole team.

Piszczek, Subotic, Gotze, Reuss, Schiebel, Weidenfeller and many more.

Here he not only has achievements, but also friends, which is undoubtedly a major turning point in his life, in this case, why can't he do something dedicated?

He said he wanted to win the Champions League Golden Boot, but if the team can win the Champions League trophy, he would rather not get the Golden Boot himself.

He is such a person, a simple person.

If at the beginning of the season, he scored goals and assists just to be famous, to determine his position in the team, then now, when he has settled into the main team of the team, he is not thinking about this, but about glory, the glory of the team!

The sudden change in Dortmund's tactics made it difficult for Shakhtar Donetsk to adapt for a while.

Lin Yu, who was bound to rush forward after taking the ball, basically did not force a breakthrough now, but chose to pass, which made them not know whether to go up and force the grab, if they didn't force it, Lin Yu would break through with the ball again, as soon as they passed, Lin Yu chose to pass the ball again, it was like playing with them.

And Lin Yu's previous position was relatively forward, not so much a full-back, but a complete winger, but now it is different, Lin Yu's position is obviously much back, more involved in the defense, using his terrible tackle to end the Donetsk Shakhtar attack at the same time, and then launch a counteroffensive.

Because Lin Yu is relatively far behind, Shakhtar Donetsk's backline players can't help but move forward if they want to defend him, which leads to the emptiness of the back.

Of course, they could ignore Lin Yu, but the result of ignoring Lin Yu was probably even more troublesome.

In the tactical class before this game, Lucescu made a more detailed analysis of Lin Yu, but the conclusion reached was a little unbelievable to everyone.

"Lin Yu's ability to instigate an attack is more terrifying than his ability to score goals!"

This makes Shakhtar Donetsk's players incomprehensible, the Champions League has been carried out so far, Lin Yu has scored a total of six goals, but his assists are far less than goals, why say that his ability to instigate attacks is more terrible than goals?

Even in the league, they only heard that Lin Yu is now the top scorer in the Bundesliga, and as for assists, they really don't know much.

In fact, the trouble is here, Lin Yu has scored a lot of goals recently, and the media has paid attention to Lin Yu's goals, seemingly forgetting that he is actually a midfielder, forgetting his wonderful passes and strategies on the field, if you carefully watch Lin Yu's every game, you will find that Lin Yu's every pass has his meaning, although it may not be converted into a goal in the end, but it can definitely pose a huge threat to the opponent's goal.

Planning an attack is not the same as an assist, it can be the initiator of the attack, or it can be an important fulcrum for a goal.

It's a pity that even Shakhtar Donetsk coach Lucescu didn't study it carefully, and he still regarded Lin Yu's scoring ability as the most threatening point to deal with.
