Chapter 197: "Madman" vs. "Maniac"
After verbally praising and encouraging his players, Klopp didn't just talk about it, he also made some adjustments and more detailed arrangements for the second half. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
For example, Real Madrid has just equalized and is gaining momentum, and Mourinho is not sure that he will let his team attack with all their strength in the second half and try to completely beat Dortmund - he can definitely do such a crazy thing, because the day before the half, he revealed Real Madrid's starting line-up for this game in advance. You must know that everyone will announce the starting lineup at the last moment before the game, which is out of the need for confidentiality, to avoid their staffing being known by the other party, so as to make targeted arrangements in advance.
But Mourinho did so the day before the game. Maybe he thinks that after such a big thing happened internally, it is impossible for Dortmund to be an enemy of Real Madrid.
So it's not that he didn't take Dortmund seriously, and it's not Klopp's groundless speculation.
Coming to Dortmund with a vengeful mindset and being so contemptuous of his opponents is something Mourinho can do.
He is particular about overwhelming his opponents in terms of momentum.
So now that the team has equalised, why can't he let the team attack and beat Dortmund in one go?
Real Madrid have to attack with all their might, and the average countermeasure is to hit their counter-attack.
But Klopp is no ordinary man.
Jose Mourinho is known as a "madman" and is known for his personality, and Jurgen Klopp is actually a very crazy manager......
If Mourinho is a "madman", then Klopp is a "madman".
Therefore, in the face of Real Madrid, which intends to press out and attack, Klopp's tactics for Dortmund are not defensive counterattacks.
"We're going to fight them!"
Dortmund's players were not surprised by that, because that's the style of their manager.
"In the second half I wanted each of you to come up with double the runs, with more aggressive runs and more coverage to get your chances. When Real Madrid come out, their backline will definitely be under a lot of pressure, and now this Real Madrid backline can't withstand this pressure, as long as we keep putting pressure on them, they will collapse!"
Jurgen Klopp gritted his teeth and said, and his players were followed by a rush of heat all over their bodies.

After the two sides changed sides in the second half, as Klopp analyzed, Real Madrid, who equalized, was full of morale and launched an attack on Dortmund soon after the game began.
And Dortmund's side did not show weakness and fought against Real Madrid.
In the attack, there will definitely be mistakes in the defense, resulting in the loss of the ball, but at this time, no one cares about losing the ball, everyone is comparing whose attack is more powerful and who can score earlier.
In this regard, Klopp still has a lot of confidence in his team.
Mourinho did not expect Dortmund to press out against Real Madrid, who had stepped up their attack, but after the initial stunned, he was relieved - which was exactly what he wanted.
Isn't it just who can score more goals?
In this regard, Mourinho is also confident in his team and tactics.

At the beginning of the second half, the two sides started to attack, which first made the Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game very happy.
Then the happiest people were the supporters of Real Madrid, when they saw Dortmund in their home stadium, facing Real Madrid's fierce attack, and at the same time, they actually pressed out, those Real Madrid fans who could not go to the scene to cheer for the team waved their fists directly in front of the TV.
The excited voice of the Spanish commentator came from the TV: "Dortmund chose to play against Real Madrid at their home stadium, this is not a good choice, you must know that Real Madrid's fast attack is very sharp, as long as there is a chance, Real Madrid will definitely not show mercy!"
Marcel Leif is a little worried, thinking that it seems not very wise to attack against the morale-boosting Real Madrid, because investing so much energy in the attack will inevitably lead to too many openings behind him, and what if Madrid seizes the opportunity and concedes the goal again?
The Dort players on the pitch will not hear the doubts and concerns from the commentators, and they continue to walk on the edge of what many consider to be the "danger zone".
Compared to the first half, Dortmund everyone passed and received the ball at a faster pace.
After a three-legged pass, Lyon hit near the center circle.
Zhou Yi got the ball here, and as soon as he received the ball, he immediately passed the football to Royce on the wing.
After passing the ball, he also ran to Royce and made a gesture to cooperate with Royce.
His move attracted the attention of Real Madrid's defenders, Khedira was the first to post it, and Coentrão, who was defending Reuss for free, couldn't help but set his eyes on Zhou Yi, although it was only for a moment, but in Reus's opinion, it was enough.
As the absolute core of Dortmund, Zhou Yi has such a deterrent power in the opponent's half!
Taking advantage of the moment when Coentrão's eyes were not on him, Reus slammed the ball outward with the outside of his right instep, and then sped up!
By the time Coentrão reacted, Reus had already rushed past him, and when he turned around again, it was already difficult to pick up the speed, and Reus rode towards the Real Madrid penalty area!
Reuss' breakthrough immediately caused a chain reaction in the Real Madrid backline, with Raphael Varane lunging at him, reducing the number of Real Madrid's defenders in the box.
In addition, Lewandowski also pressed in front of the Real Madrid goal very cooperatively and brought Pepe back. Gotze cut inside the box from the left and glued Ramos to his side.
Khedira, who was originally following Zhou Yi, was also attracted by Royce's sudden breakthrough, and when he turned to look back at Royce, Zhou Yi suddenly started from behind him and inserted himself into the penalty area!
Royce keenly observed Zhou Yi's forward insertion, and he quickly passed the football back, an inverted triangle pass!
The football was passed very accurately to the side of Zhou Yi's running route, and Zhou Yi in the sprint adjusted his pace slightly, picked up his right foot and kicked directly at the football, this is not a hard volley that straightens the instep, but a kick that slashes the football with the inside of his right foot!
"Zhou Yi - !!" He Ping shouted excitedly, could it be that Zhou Yi was going to break the door?
The ball arced in the air and flew directly to the top right corner of the goal. Diego López took to the air, stretched his body as far as he could, and pounced on the football.
But he didn't pounce.
Because the ball did not hit the goal frame, but flew out of the bottom line by grazing the outside of the goalpost!
"Oh!" exclaimed from the stands.
"Oh, that's a pity!" He Ping said in his Beijing studio, holding his head in his hands.
There have always been rumors that he is a fan of Real Madrid, regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, at least at this moment, he has nothing to do with a Real Madrid fan.
"Zhou Yi's direct shot is very beautiful, the arc is obvious, but it is a little too much to pursue the angle, so it is out of the bottom line...... Alas, alas, alas!"
Marcel Leif also exclaimed: "Zhou Yi! He almost extended the lead for Borussia Dortmund!"
Although there was no goal, but after the exclamation, the stands of the West** stadium quickly burst into applause, dedicated to Dortmund's beautiful attack, including Reus, who broke through resolutely, and Zhou Yi, who cut in time to shoot.
And Zhou Yi gave Royce's thumb up, indicating that Royce's breakthrough just now was beautiful, and the pass was also beautiful.
※※※
Zhou Yi's kick was actually very threatening, but it did not sound any alarm bell for Real Madrid, and when Real Madrid attacked, they still pressed hard, intending to knock on Dortmund's goal.
Of course, they didn't.
They didn't even have a shot on goal this time, and Mesut Ozil's pass to the wing was cut off by Gotze, who was put back into place.
"Gotze! Oh! It's Gotze! He's almost back at full-back...... After experiencing criticism and pressure, Gotze was exceptionally hard in this game. Maybe he wants to use his professional attitude to win back the hearts and minds of the fans...... "Marcel Leif said.
There were indeed fans in the stands who applauded Götze's positive return this time, and the TV broadcast also cut a set of shots to the applauding Dortmund fans.
This shows that those extreme fans who strongly oppose Gotze are still a minority after all, and they are not representative of all Dortmund fans.
After the initial dismay, perhaps more Dortmund fans have begun to learn to accept Götze's departure with equanimity. (To be continued.) )
