Chapter 288: Stalemate, Adjustment
The ball flew towards the goal, and Weidenfeller was on the other side of the goal, and although he was a savior, there was nothing he could do. Schmelzer made a mistake in his judgment and thought it was a direct lob into the far corner. jumped in advance and wanted to clear the ball with a header, but Li Zihan, who seemed to be polite on the surface, kicked the ball so cunningly.
Can this be a fucking pass? Schmelzer wanted to scold him like that.
"Empty door!! Podolsky !! ”
Podolsky, who had not yet landed in the air, thought wildly in his heart, go in, go in
The next moment his eyes widened, and he saw the ball getting closer and closer to the goal, as he saw that the ball was about to go straight into the net. But it hit the beam, and there was a muffled thud.
Bang!
This damn ball! Podolsky's heart was cold.
"WOW~~" There were 60,000 exclamations from the scene, of which 57,000 exclamations revealed an unbelievable taste, and the exclamations of the other 3,000 people revealed the pain of not dying and the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.
"Oh God!! Didn't even score this goal? How dare you not score this goal? It's an empty door!! ”
"Is this Infernal Affairs? Is Borussia Dortmund the true love of Porti's heart? "Uncle Zhan Jun is also a little incredulous.
The ball grazed the crossbar and Arsenal didn't even have a chance to take a corner or shoot from the bottom line.
Podolsky knelt on the ground and covered his face with his hands.
Podolsky himself has no face, and Li Zihan's pass is simply a stroke of genius. Turning around the experienced generals of Weidenfeller, Hummels, Schmelzer and others. But! But he didn't expect the praying mantis to catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind, and in the end, Podolsky played Li Zihan instead."
Li Zihan came up and patted Podolski on the shoulder to comfort this big German man who is often hacked by fans like Torres.
"It's okay, I didn't pass this ball well. The ball spins too much, leaving your header in no comfortable position. It's good to be able to barely hit the door like this, you see, we almost went in, we weren't very lucky. ”
Podolsky showed a small gap between his hands, and put on a face that was more ugly than crying at Li Zihan: "Don't comfort me, I won't enter the empty door, I might as well be a defender." ”
Li Zihan was happy, I didn't expect this German big man who was about to be established to be so cute!
Somehow, when Ozil heard this, "Goldfish Eyes" was immediately unhappy: "If you go to central defense, we can win the game without scoring ten or eight in each game?" ”
Li Zihan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”
The corners of Ozil's mouth raised: "If he is a central defender, the opponent will be embarrassed to play football again if he doesn't score five or six goals in a game." ”
"Hahaha"
Podolsky was embarrassed and scolded with a smile: "Strict, people are frustrated." ”
"Hahaha"
Li Zihan didn't expect that "Goldfish Eyes" and Prince Porti would be such second-hearted, and they could joke in such a tense atmosphere
At least Podolski didn't blame himself, but quickly retreated to his position and waited for the opponent's goal kick.
The Hornets, who had been pressed and beaten, finally ushered in the opportunity to attack and immediately started a Dortmund-style attack.
Mkhitaryan is less of a midfielder and more of a striker. He hid behind Lewandowski and frequently came out of his back, startling Arsenal's defenders in a cold sweat.
And when Arsenal's defenders paid attention to him, the Armenian stepped forward generously and played the ball to Lewandowski in front, and the two often cooperated.
Mkhitaryan's ability and technical characteristics are not like Gundogan, who was replaced by him. Gundogan is a chain and lubricant between the midfield and the front, and is often pulled up wide to help Reuss. But Mkhitaryan is like a standard number ten, the attacking core of the frontcourt. And the Armenian attacking midfielder is indeed wearing the number 10 Dortmund shirt, which is the number left after Gotze left.
There is Lewandowski in front, Mkhitaryan in the back, and there is also a Reuss on the side who can cross the bottom and cut directly into the goal. Arsenal's defence is also being tested, and Shaheen has also stepped in from time to time to shoot from distance, or to link up with Mkhitaryan.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Dortmund are not very strong on the other side, and Grosskloitz's table can only be considered decent. There is no very sharp attack, but it can participate in the attack when it advances, and it can defend independently when it retreats.
Fortunately, Vermaelen's defense has returned to normal a little, although it has not been as leaky as before, at least it has not made mistakes often, and even if there is a small mistake, he has quickly adjusted.
This also annoyed Dortmund's offensive firepower, damn it, you were in such a bad state before, why are you as brave as taking viagra when we need to score goals in our attack?
In the 62nd minute, Reus broke through on the wing. A defensive mistake by Monreal allowed the opposition to cut inside with the ball, and Koscielny certainly knew how dangerous Reus was. He immediately came to fill in the position, but Reus didn't cut in directly and forced a chance to shoot. Rather, it was a half-high ball that was passed near the penalty line.
Lewandowski immediately started to scramble for the front post and forced Vermaelen to kick the ball directly at goal. Szczesny jumped up and saved the ball. However, he couldn't hold on to the ball, which returned to the box and Mkhitaryan followed up with a follow-up shot. Szczesny didn't have time to make a second save and watched the ball helplessly, but the ball was not hit into the goal, but flew directly over the crossbar and out of the line.
By the sixty-fifth minute, Klopp felt he couldn't continue. More attacking forces had to be put in the attack, and it was inevitable to score another goal to change the scoreline.
As a result, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the top scorer in the French Cup, who joined European runners-up Borussia Dortmund this season, like Mkhitaryan, is ready to beat Arsenal away from home.
Borussia Dortmund began to make changes, with the new Ligue 1 striker replacing the mid-course winger Grosskloitz. In the month and a half since joining Borussia Dortmund, Aubameyang has scored two goals and provided an assist. For a new striker who hasn't started much, it's a complete pass, but I wonder if Klopp's sending him on this game will have a miracle effect? We'll see. ”
Grosskloitz received a standing ovation from the Dortmund fans when he left the stadium. Although Kloskloitz has a mediocre game and is not very good-looking, he can only be regarded as a role player at Dortmund. But in the hearts of the fans, his status is really high.
Grosskloytz, who was born and raised in Dortmund, is regarded by Hornets fans as his own person, a real "own person"! Because Grosskloitz's grandfather, father, and himself were Dortmund fans.
And his grandfather still has a lot of prestige among Dortmund fans, and was once a leader of a fan organization.
So as long as Grosskloitz doesn't make a fatal mistake, whether he is substituted or comes on as a substitute, Dortmund fans always don't hesitate to applaud themselves.
This treatment can only be matched by Lewandowski and Reus, who attacked the city for the team, and Gotze before the "defection". Now, of course, Gotze is back in Westfa. Almost most of the greeting at the Len Stadium was scolding, and Lewandowski, who refused to renew his contract and was rumored to be joining his sworn rival Bayern, is now seen by fans with mixed feelings.
The conversation is back on the pitch.
Jurgen Klopp's substitution paid off quickly, and at least Dortmund's wings could fly. With Reus on the left and Aubameyang on the right, the two also often "shifted", with a Lewandowski in the middle and a Mkhitaryan behind him, Dortmund began a massive attack.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reuss have similar characteristics and are not very strong physically. But he is fast, nimble at his feet, good at dribbling and cutting in, and his body balance is good.
This has made Arsenal's wide defence difficult, with Sagna and Monreal both being a bit of an attacking wing-back, and if they are allowed to give up attacking and concentrate on defending, their characteristics will not be fully reflected.
Seeing that the two full-backs were struggling defensively, they did not hesitate, Cazorla and Podolski immediately returned to strengthen the defense on the wings. In the middle, Mikel Arteta dropped back and forwent an assist forward to concentrate on defence. He was followed by Wilshere, with Ozil in front ready to counterattack, and Li Zihan hanging in front.
Although the attack was fierce, Dortmund, who had been in the game once, did not dare to be careless about Arsenal's cold counterattack. At the very least, Sven Bender and Papadopoulos have not come up at the back to prevent the opposition's quick counter-attacks, and only Hummels occasionally rushes up to head a surprise header.
"Well, the center is so beautiful that he almost went in. Hummels, who watched the team not be able to open the situation, personally went into the field and participated in the attack. The narrator joked.
In the 70th minute, Reus wanted to cut inside on the sideline, but the combined defense of Podolski and Monreal made him a little uncomfortable, not to mention that the "altitude" of these two people is not low, and the defensive area is large.
In desperation, he made a bottom-down feint, but passed the ball to Shahin, who took the initiative to come and answer. Shaheen sent the ball to the feet of Mkhitaryan in the middle, who immediately dispatched and diverted the ball wide to the other side.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang received the ball after getting rid of Cazorla's interference and then wanted to cut inside. But the experienced French black fullback in front of him looked at him deadly, and at this time, Lewandowski in the middle decisively gave up the middle to pull the side.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang played the ball to Robert Lewandowski and the Polish striker immediately knocked it back. The pair made a one-two, kicking the wall together, and Aubameyang broke through Sagna's defence and cut inside.
'Pierre-Emerick and Lewandowski's kicks combined to get past Sagna. Cut in!! Arsenal are in danger! ”
