Chapter 31: Defensive Ability
The two people who fell to the ground did not collide with each other violently. After getting up from the ground, the two had no intention of making eye contact. It's just that when they ran forward together, Muller's voice came coldly.
"It's a thief, boy!"
"Thanks for the compliment."
You Moleng paused for a moment before replying casually.
He doesn't really have much experience with his opponents in professional matches. Whether it was provocation, venting, or friendliness, he had never experienced it.
"Guess what I'll do next time?" The voice continued.
"How? As long as you don't bite. You Mo felt the wonderful feeling of being provoked, and a certain skill in his body had a tendency to awaken.
Psychological warfare?
"Biting?"
Müller, who was well-educated, was a little confused, and after a while, he asked rhetorically.
"Well, I'm afraid that if I can't control it, I'll hurt people." You Mo ran after him for a while, and found that he had passed the halftime, so he retreated and watched with peace of mind.
"Haha, maybe." Mueller finally came to his senses, and the laughter was reluctant.
The teammates next to him gave him a strange look, then turned their heads and looked at the guy opposite.
Yu Mo stood still, his mind on the ball, ignoring the inquiring gazes.
Zone plus marking, this is the defensive strategy of modern football. Even if you can't do both, you must work in this direction. Youmo gave up the aggression of the free man, and the position on the field was bounded by the half court, and while marking people, he would not give up the opportunity to help his teammates.
Muller is not a traditional midfield metronome, he is very aggressive when he holds the ball, whether it is a breakthrough or a pass, there is a sense of sharpness in the cold light.
Defending this kind of guy, judgment comes first.
Latchenho couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his opponent before, and he just suffered a loss of judgment.
Previous defensive experience. When facing this guy, it doesn't work!
The game continued with 78 minutes passed.
After two ruins of the final plan by Yumo, Dortmund's attack was a bit damp.
The first of those two defendings was the guy running all the way to the sideline of his own half, in a situation that Muller had not expected at all. A stab. The ball ended up on the sideline, which could only be regarded as disrupting the rhythm of the attack.
The second time it was a bit demoralizing. Frontal ball, one-on-one, neither breaking through the ball, nor making fouls, not even blocking obviously. This kind of substandard performance suddenly frustrated the team's momentum.
This situation is a bit like the confrontation between the two armies in the era of cold weapons. In the case of one Pioneer general, whichever side wins. Whichever side has more momentum, the probability of winning in the end will also increase a lot.
Muller knows this, and so do his teammates. As the core of the team, he does not lack the support of his teammates, but if he is restricted by the opponent again and again, then everyone will inevitably have a question mark on their psychology.
Not in good shape?
Having turned the Lacchinho play, Mueller certainly won't admit he's not in good shape. But there is not much time left. If he succeeds in being limited by the opponent again, whether it is him or his teammates. Even Heathfield, who was on the sidelines, did not allow him to continue on his own.
If you can't break through, you have to create a threat!
On the field, Kaiserslautern on the left wing, five or six meters away from the penalty area, ribs.
Muller has the ball with his back. Yu Guang looked at the opponent behind him, turned around, and stopped in place.
Yu Mo also stood still, about 1.5 meters away from him, facing the outside line. Stand on your side. Not far from him, Latchenho had already come from the middle to assist in the defense.
From standstill to start, Muller felt as if he had a Ferrari NA engine, and in less than a second, Latchinho had to slow down his progress and follow him, saving him from knocking his opponent over.
Leaning to the left, touching the ball with the inside of his right foot, one, two, three steps, each touch is so light that the ball follows him as if it were stuck to his toes.
Yu Mo, who was originally facing the outside, had to turn around if he wanted to get stuck on the inside.
How to choose?
Backwards, backwards, backwards, neither turning nor grabbing. As if he didn't know what the other party was going to do, You Mo was just stepping back with a side slide.
The move uses the old Muller, and after taking another step with his right foot, the ultimate goal is exposed!
The outside instep touches the inside of the ball, and the outside line!
"Matthews feints! However, it seems that he did not throw off his opponent! ”
"Mueller is in trouble! Just now, he had passing space and objects, but he still chose to go it alone! The breakthrough was unsuccessful, and when the two sides were in physical contact, his speed could not be played! ”
"I can only send it back!"
"To be honest, it's not a very wise choice. Time is running out, and he should use his playmaking skills to make the most of his teammates' running positions, instead of going it alone! ”
"He has a strong ability to break through, but when he goes on two one-on-one times in a row, it seems that his opponent has seen his intentions. Why are you obsessed with getting past your opponents? Is it to teach the opponent a lesson and maintain the pride of the free man in Dortmund? ”
"It's 82 minutes into the game, Rehhagel got up and added defensive strength to the field!"
"In this competition, the young people's table xiàn was very active, and they successfully completed the task of the competition. Now, it has reached the final stage, and there is no need to fight with the opponent quickly. Replace the old guys and use their experience and awareness to slow down the tempo, forcing the opponent to take long passes and bomb from high altitudes. ”
"In the past period, Dortmund have not been able to build on their efforts and have given their opponents a chance to breathe. Now the only way to solve the problem is to solve the problem in a simple and crude way! ”
Why choose to break instead of passing?
Mueller is well aware.
It was he who was fooled!
Send out a challenge and let your opponent guess what you're going to do next. His original intention was to make the opponent have some scruples when defending.
As a result, the released bait was once again ignored by the opponent!
Just like the suspected half-goal the first time, this choice still did not surprise the opponent!
Why?
Can a 17-year-old kid guess someone else's mind?
Mind reading?
Muller was tempted to ask his opponent, but unfortunately he could only think about it. Whether it's him or the opponent, on and off the field. It's impossible to communicate about this kind of thing.
Yumo's idea was simple.
The first time the two men made eye contact, Muller was struck by the obvious challenge. In this situation, it is undoubtedly human nature to choose what you are best at.
The second time it was broken, Muller lost a lot of face. If you choose to pass the ball in a similar situation next time. Although wise, it does not conform to the arrogant spirit of geniuses!
So, the third time, You Mo didn't defend his passing route from the beginning, but just retreated to the outside line, forcing Muller into a black situation!
Walking on the inside line is equivalent to actively avoiding the opponent's defensive area.
If you want to pass people, you can only take the outside line!
The final battle was somewhat tragic.
The old guys are stuck in the middle, in the penalty area. With his body and experience, he blocked the opponent's crazy counterattack.
After paying the price of three yellow cards and Bremer going off injured, Kaiserslautern completed the biggest upset of the round!
Coleman, who served as the commentator of this scene, was full of emotion.
"The hotbed of unpopularity is probably an unreasonable situation. In this game, the Bundesliga Red Devils' line-up and the condition of the field together presented Dortmund with a big problem. The first half of the chaotic battle ended. It's normal for the more proactive side to take a 1-0 lead. ”
"At the beginning of the second half. The Hornets regained their form and Kaiserslautern went into a tough defensive position. The gate, which was once precarious in the middle, became firm after several wrong choices by Muller. ”
"It is clear that the root of this mistake lies in the right choice made by a free man!"
"Mo in previous competitions. Never before has there been such a focused counterpoint-to-man defence. He completely abandoned his vaunted attack power and creativity, and used an almost clumsy method to make his opponent return in front of him again and again! ”
"Anyway, I'm surprised! I was really surprised! He's a very smart kid, and no one can ignore that. Available in this game. His choice looks so tenacious! ”
"It's just to prevent a breakthrough!"
"As if he was sure that his opponent would not pass the ball, he used his quick reactions, flexible body, and ability to fight against opponents at all, and extinguished the signs of danger."
"It's time for Mueller to reflect on it. The game is not about gambling, and proving yourself is far less important than the team's victory. ”
"Bayern Munich will face the challenge of Bayer Leverkusen later, let's wait and see!"
Coleman's post-match reference to Bayern Munihe, intentionally or unintentionally, was actually a little trick.
In Germany, Green Hollywood is the least lacking in attention. In the same way, any team that is excellent will be compared to them, and no matter what the result is, the feeling of saving zài is properly brushed out.
In fact, from the heart, Dortmund lost a little unjustly in this game. Similarly, Kaiserslautern, who won the victory, only did a very good job in a few key aspects, and their overall strength is still not enough.
In this case, bringing out the Bundesliga team and mentioning it casually makes people have an illusion.
They are opponents!
Because of the excellent performance of the first two games, the ratings of Kaiserslautern's game broadcast far exceeded the normal promotion horses, and have reached the level of several traditional giants. In the case that the heat has not faded, it is undoubtedly an eye-catching thing to regard Bayern Munich as a comparative opponent.
And with that comes constant attention!
The benefits of high ratings to the club are numerous. First, there is no fear that competitors will stumble over some extravagant tricks, secondly, the opposition forces who also hate Bayern Munihei will become the help of the Red Devils, and thirdly, it will naturally increase the club's broadcast fee.
Just like Elber and Youmo's clamour, there is a comparison, and the highlights come out.
"In the free man course, is there such a requirement as a countermark?"
Coleman leaves his seat and finds his old buddy, Advisor Mikel.
"It's actually a kind of reverse thinking."
"Well, indeed. Rehhagel was not captivated by the all-powerful table of free man, making the right decision at the critical moment, and serving the game. At this point, he has been doing a good job. ”
"Haha, Andres Müller just became the opposite type."
"The defensive ability of the liberty seems to have made great progress!"
"Yes, it's a pleasure to watch this guy play!" (To be continued......)
