Chapter 158: A Little Change

Although there was a boos at the scene, the referee's decision was quite accurate, Yan Min rolled on the ground by himself, and after getting up, he did not ask the referee to fight for a penalty. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the commentators questioned it, the TV broadcast quickly gave the slow motion just now, and Leno did reach out to block Yan Min's stab first, and then Yan Min hit it, lost his balance and fell to the ground......

"It's really not a penalty ......," Duan Xin said with some regret. A penalty would have allowed Borussia Dortmund to equalise in the first half.

"Leno made a crucial save! very beautiful and important!" the South Korean commentator cheered for Leno's performance. He, like Duan Xin, became a supporter of Bayer Leverkusen because the players from his own country were on this team. And Duan Xin is because Dortmund has Zhou Yi and Yan Min, so he naturally wants Dortmund to be the home team.

Marcel Leif focused on Yan Min: "Although he didn't score a goal, he didn't get a penalty for the team. But Yan Min's performance just now was fantastic, with resolute breakthroughs and dexterous flickering, and still being able to bring the ball out of the encirclement, which fully demonstrated his skillful foot skills and personal ability. The last time he chased the ball, he also showed his explosiveness vividly...... It's a pity that this stab shot was already very reluctant...... If he hadn't stabbed the ball but flicked it to the side so that Leno didn't touch it and tripped him to the ground, it might have been a penalty, right......?

The television broadcast gave a close-up of Yan Min holding his head in his hands, frustrated that he hadn't stabbed the ball past Leno's fingers. almost became the "lonely hero" in Zhou Yi's mouth, and finally had such an opportunity, but he wasted it, which simply failed Zhou Yi's encouragement and trust in himself!

However, he was annoyed and saw Zhou Yi giving him a thumbs up.

He was stunned for a moment.

He thinks that Zhou Yi should also be as annoyed as himself, after all, this opportunity is really rare.

"You scared them a lot. Taking advantage of the preparation time for the corner kick attack and defense, Zhou Yi ran up and said to Yan Min. Look at their expressions. ”

Yan Min looked around left and right, and the Bayer Leverkusen players rushed up to hug Leno, who made the key save, and he couldn't see what it meant to be intimidated.

"They celebrated like this, which shows that they are very afraid. Of course, Leno made a wonderful and crucial save, but from another point of view, if your attack is not good enough and not threatening enough, I'm afraid you can't make Leno so embarrassed, right?" Zhou Yi laughed.

Yan Min scratched his head, is it really like this......

"And, after your breakthrough this time, I don't think any of them will dare to relax their defense against you anymore. Zhou Yi covered his mouth and continued.

"Isn't that a pity for missing this opportunity?" Yan Min was puzzled. This means that the next time he wants such a good opportunity, it will be difficult.

Zhou Yi shook his head with a smile: "There is a limit to the number of people on the field, a little more investment here, a little less over there." When they notice you, how many more men do you think they can have on my side to pester me?"

Yan Min suddenly realized that it was Zhou Yi who gave him cover just now, and after he fully demonstrated his threat to Leverkusen, he replaced himself to provide cover for Zhou Yi.

In football, you don't have to score a goal every time you attack, but if you can force the opponent to shift the focus of your defense and free up your other teammates, it is just as successful and valuable.

He doesn't mind being a green leaf for others, and if he chooses a winger or a full-back, he must have the consciousness of making a wedding dress for others.

So he pulled himself together and nodded vigorously: "Then I have the opportunity to continue to surprise them!"

"Suddenly, of course, you have to be surprised! You have to keep threatening. ”

After Zhou Yi finished explaining, he turned around and withdrew from the penalty area, and he didn't go in to join in the fun when he competed for a corner kick.

"I noticed that before Yan Min's breakthrough this time, Zhou Yi went to him and covered his mouth and talked to him for a while. Will it be that Yan Min's solo performance ......" assistant coach Gerlico Bvacs speculated with a frown.

Klopp nodded without waiting for him to finish: "I think so, didn't you see that Zhou Yi went to him again after this breakthrough?" I don't know what they said, but now Yan Min is obviously not annoyed that he missed a great opportunity. ”

Speaking of this, Klopp laughed: "Zhou Yi is really a worry-free player...... I think the idea provided by Zhou Yi is correct, we should give more freedom to the attacking players in the front court, so that they can play freely, which is a good way to break the game now. ”

He looked up at his watch, and there were still ten minutes left before the end of the first half.

If Dortmund couldn't equalise in the first half, he had nothing to worry about. At half-time he would tell the whole team, especially those involved in the attack, to do the same, which would make it much more difficult for Leverkusen to defend. The most important thing is that when they are active, they can reduce the defensive pressure that Zhou Yi is facing.

Jurgen Klopp, who thought about how to adjust at half-time, now just hopes that the team will not concede any more goals.

But there's not much to worry about.

When Yan Min showed that he can single-handedly pick up a backline, Leverkusen really has a lot of fear in defense, and they will definitely not be able to ignore Yan Min as they did just now, and in turn, they will not be able to be more engaged in attack as before.

In this way, Dortmund's backline has become much safer.

Since his investment in the attack was not as good as before, Son Heung-min did not get any more good chances, at least he did not shoot again.

This made Sun Xingmin a little anxious, when he was in such a good state, he suddenly had no chance to shoot, this is not a good trend......

It wasn't until the 41st minute that Bayer Leverkusen, who had been dominant, unleashed another attack that could threaten Weidenfeller's goal - Hegler fired a shot from the top of the box that went over the crossbar.

Neither side then had any higher quality attacks, and that was the end of the first half. Away Bayer Leverkusen temporarily lead Borussia Dortmund 1-0.

However, unlike in the first 30 minutes of the first half, it was difficult to say that Bayer Leverkusen had the upper hand at the end of the first half, and that they should have walked into the dressing room with a relaxed mood, and it was difficult to say that the Dortmund players were in a frustrated mood.

The one-goal lead, and the performance of the two teams in the last ten minutes, gave everyone a lot of room for imagination, and there are still many possibilities for development in this game.

At least Yan Min's breakthrough in the first half is still impressive.

In Dortmund's dressing room, many players came to rub Yan Min's hair, which turned out to make his head messy like a chicken nest.

His breakthrough in the first half changed a lot of things. It's a change that the players can feel.

However, Yan Min did not intend to be greedy, he explained to his teammates: "That is actually Zhou Yi's attention, it is really ......"

The teammates laughed and continued to rub his hair: "Guess it's all, didn't he talk to you? It's not surprising, but it's still very good that you can do so well!"

"That's right, we have no surprise about Zhou Yi, he is such a person. It's you, it's even more surprising, haha!"

Everyone's "ravage" of Yan Min didn't end until Klopp entered the locker room.

As soon as Klopp came in, he also praised Yan Min's breakthrough in the first half: "Although it didn't score, it was an attack that changed the situation. It's bold and lucky. ”

Then he began to arrange the tactical adjustments of the second half to the players, and there was not a minute of delay.

In fact, it is the content he summarized before, and the core idea is one point - let go of restrictions, let offensive players play more freely, and if they have the ability and opportunity, it doesn't matter if they are lone heroes with the ball.

Of course, this is bound to be risky, so this requires everyone in the front court to actively participate in the counter-robbery. If you lose the ball, you must fight back on the spot, and if you can't grab it, you have to force it, in short, you must not let go of the opponent easily.

This puts a higher demand on the players' fitness, but it is a price that has to be paid. If the lagging side wants to win, it can't always expect to lie down comfortably, and the opponent will take the initiative to send the mistake to the door, right?

'It's not just about taking the ball after conceding it, it's about creating chances with more aggressive runs when we attack. Gotta run!"

Although there has been a lot of criticism of Klopp's "mad dog tactics", Klopp has continued to emphasize that running is the most important thing.

In his football philosophy, running is the foundation of everything, and without running, there would be no modern football, no Borussia Dortmund's glory over the past three seasons. Although he knows that injuries are inevitable in this way of squeezing players, Klopp has no intention of changing it. After all, this is the path he has followed for six seasons at Borussia Dortmund. His football philosophy has also left a very deep imprint on the Dortmund team.
