Dortmund, who were behind, also felt a huge threat, and when the game resumed, they tried to fight back, and as the defending champions, they played so badly that the Dortmund players were quite unhappy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis unhappiness made them forget for a moment the boos of the Napoli fans and the threat of those extreme fans.

Mark and Royce are also more active in retreating and participating in the operation of the whole team. Narrowing the distance with Zhou Yi allows Zhou Yi to pass the football to them, and at the same time, they will not fall into a lonely situation when they get the ball in the midfield like before.

After all, Dortmund is a strong team with outstanding strength, after all, they are the defending champions, and the strength is still there, and when they regain their confidence, they finally have a decent attack.

Zhou Yi is of course the most critical figure in this. However, he did not take all the work of organizing the offensive under his feet. Sometimes, he would pull up to the flanks to create space for his teammates and help others step forward to organise attacks.

Although he is no longer the protagonist, he has managed to make Dortmund's attack run much more smoothly.

Especially since Gundogan's injury, Shahin, who has started with Sven Bender, has the ability to organize attacks. In the past, when he was still in Dortmund, Klopp tried to let him and Zhou Yi form a dual core, so now he is no stranger to this situation, and he doesn't need to adapt to it at all, and it can work normally by switching one mode.

Napoli are also feeling the pressure from Dortmund, and in order to contain Dortmund's attack, their high pressing has also paid some price.

In the 33rd and 36th minutes, in just two minutes, Behrami and central defender Miguel Britos received yellow cards one after another.

Especially the yellow card of Britos, as a central defender, before the first half of the game was over, he was carrying a yellow card, which is a hidden danger after all.

However, at that time, Britos had no better choice if he did not foul. Royce went one step further and was in the box. If he doesn't foul and let Reus slip into the box, it's hard to foul again, and you can't give a penalty, right?

So he decisively brought down Reuss, a move that earned him a yellow card, but also prevented Reina's goal from being in danger.

Overall, Napoli were more dominant in the first half. Dortmund had only a handful of good chances, and Reuss' breakthrough was probably the best.

In the 39th minute, Napoli reacted again with a fast attack, and Callejon dribbled straight to the heart of Dortmund. Left-back Schmelzer's fast, dexterous Callejon had no choice but to foul. So he also received a yellow card.

Now that there are yellow cards on both sides' back lines, the next game brings more variables and suspense......

At the end of the first half, the score was 1-0 and the home team Napoli was ahead.

'Napoli's first half was perfect, both tactically and with the players...... Let's see what changes Klopp makes at half-time...... He has to do something, otherwise Dortmund will likely be beaten at the Sao Paulo Stadium!"

※※※

In the dressing room at half-time, Jurgen Klopp did not criticize his players, and although they did not perform very well in the first half, there was a reason for this dismalness.

Everything at the São Paulo stadium caused problems and threats for the Dortmund players, and playing in such a frenetically hostile atmosphere was very demanding on the mental quality of the players. Klopp can't ask everyone to have a big heart like Zhou Yi, so he can't just scold the players and make them perform well.

It is still necessary to think of more ways in terms of tactical arrangements.

The reason why Dortmund's attack in the first half was difficult to threaten Napoli's goal, and according to Klopp's observations from the sidelines, he believed that the main reason was the disjointed front and back.

The whole Dortmund team was cut into pieces by Napoli's high pressing, and it was difficult to be continuous. Because the Napoli players did not hesitate to press physically, it was difficult for them to pass the ball smoothly in a row. In the backfield, he was worried that Napoli would use the high position to force the steal to play a counterattack directly, and forcibly sent the pass forward, and because the accuracy was too low, he often took the initiative to make mistakes and sent the football to the feet of the opposing player......

In response to this situation, Klopp's countermeasure is to increase the number of players who can participate in the attack, fill those gaps with more players, and free Zhou Yi or Shaheen so that they can connect the whole team.

With that in mind, Jurgen Klopp made a very bold change – he decided to replace centre-back Hummels with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Lose one defender and add one offensive player. This substitution strategy is not unusual, but it is usually done when there is little time left in the game to break the boat.

Jurgen Klopp will now make such a substitution at half-time, which means that Dortmund will play a back three against Napoli's high press for the next 45 minutes.

It's a simple math problem: the defensive area covered by the back four is of course much larger than that of the back three, and there is also a numerical advantage in the local area. On the other hand, there may be more space in the back three than in the back four, and Dortmund will have to use a back three against Napoli for up to 45 minutes, which is understandably difficult.

Klopp's this can be regarded as a shipwreck, but isn't it a little early to start the shipwreck?

But this is Klopp, as a manager with character, his substitutions will not always be played according to common sense, and everyone is used to it.

If it's not crazy, I'm afraid it's not Klopp.

According to Klopp's concept, after replacing Aubameyang, on the one hand, it can increase the number of attackers and enrich the attacking level, and on the other hand, Aubameyang's speed can also allow Dortmund to play a long pass counterattack when there is really no way.

You don't need to be too precise to get the ball to Aubameyang's feet, as long as you're roughly in that area, you can make Aubameyang sprint.

This is also an offensive killer feature that Klopp has arranged for the team, which can be activated when forced to do so.

Klopp's idea is good.

But one of the most fascinating things about football is that it is always full of surprises, which are completely unpredictable and unpredictable.

Even Zhou Yi, who has a virtual world, can't simulate all the possible situations, after all, some things may not appear at all, but they just appear.

At the start of the second half, Dortmund, who were bent on reviving their strength and wrestling with Napoli, suffered a heavy blow at the start.

In the 46th minute of the game, just one minute into the second half, Hamsik sent a sharp through ball from the edge of the Dortmund penalty area, and Higuain successfully countered offside and chased the football.

Borussia Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller, as the team's last line of defence, decisively abandoned the goal, but he fell to the ground and saved the ball!

Higuain was clever enough to flick the ball out, and then his own foot was saved by Weidenfeller, and the unbalanced Argentine shooter fell to the ground!

Almost at the same time, deafening boos rang out from the stands, as well as the referee's whistle!

Weidenfeller...... It's over! Penalty!" He Ping's heart was cold, he had already seen the referee's whistle and run to the penalty spot, this is a penalty undoubtedly!

"Higuain was knocked to the ground by Weidenfeller!" cheered the Italian commentator.

"Higuain is suspected of faking this ball, right?" Marcel Leif, as a German commentator, is still not giving up, hoping that the referee will judge Higuain for faking a fall. But the referee's actions dispelled all his illusions - he ran to the penalty spot and stood, raised his arms and signaled that it was a penalty.

※※※

Weidenfeller jumped up from the ground and ran to the referee to appeal for himself.

But in fact, it was in vain.

And there are more serious consequences waiting for him......

The referee not only awarded Napoli a penalty, but also showed Weidenfeller, who had brought down Higuain, a ...... Red!

Weidenfeller, who rushed up to theorize the penalty, was dumbfounded......

The other Dortmund players who wanted to speak for Weidenfeller and accused Higuain of faking the fall were also frightened.

A penalty and a red card combo?!

Don't you want to be so decrepit!
