Chapter 197: Peak Shadow

Whose home ground is this?

This is not only a question for Marcel Leif, but also for Werder Bremen fans. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even if Werder Bremen's performance this season is indeed a little worse, this is their home stadium after all.

It was Dortmund who quickly took the initiative and scored a goal ahead......

But Dortmund's show isn't over yet.

In the 41st minute, Dortmund continued to press Werder Bremen's goal for almost ten minutes before two consecutive shots on goal, both of which were blocked.

Zhou Yi suddenly inserted into the penalty area, and at the same time as he inserted into the penalty area, Royce passed the football to him.

So he received the ball in the penalty area, half-turned and swept away.

The power is not great, but the shot is sudden and the angle is awkward.

Werder Bremen's goalkeeper Wolff was caught off guard and when he fell to the ground to save, the ball had rolled into the goal behind him!

"Zhou Yi! Oh! Zhou Yi! He scored the second goal of the game for Borussia Dortmund! Before the end of the first half, Dortmund had a two-goal lead!"

"Zhou Yi scored his first goal after the winter break, and we can see from this game that Zhou Yi still maintains a very good form, whether it is organizing the attack, or the front goal...... He is very proactive. Judging from his running, there is no problem with his physical fitness at all......" Duan Xin kept praising Zhou Yi.

"Leading 2:0, this score is like the epitome of Dortmund and Werder Bremen in the first half, Dortmund completely dominated, whether it is the score or possession, Dortmund has the advantage, it seems that the four-point gap gives them hope of catching up with Bayern Munich......"

※※※

At half-time, Jurgen Klopp praised his players' performances, but also demanded more: "If possible, try to score more goals." After all, it was their home stadium, and anything could happen in the 45 minutes of the second half, and no one could take it lightly......"

At the start of the second half, the entire Dortmund team followed the manager's guidelines and actively burned the flames into the Werder Bremen half.

And it didn't take long for the second half of the game to get results.

At the start of the second half, Borussia Dortmund won a corner kick with indiscriminate bombardment.

After the corner, Werder Bremen midfielder Bagfred battled in front of goal, but he didn't get it straight out of the danger zone, and with Mark's close interference, he rubbed the ball towards the back post. Borussia Dortmund's centre-back Friedrich appeared right there, followed up with a push shot that easily smashed the ball into the empty net!

The firefighter who joined Borussia Dortmund as a free agent before the winter break scored his first goal for Borussia Dortmund...... Seeing him perform like this, Dortmund fans can breathe a sigh of relief for a while......"

"At the start of the second half, Dortmund were already three goals ahead on the road...... Although plagued by injuries, Dortmund's squad has never been in order, but even so, they still maintain a very strong fighting force. Let's imagine what a great battle between Dortmund and Bayern Munich would have been if they hadn't suffered so many injuries this season......" said Marcel Leif with pity. The Bundesliga is back to a monopoly situation, which he does not want to see.

※※※

Werder Bremen probably didn't expect Dortmund, who had already led by two goals, to be so "unrelenting", and they attacked fiercely as soon as they came up in the second half and were caught off guard.

The whole team has been in a state of "bewilderment" after conceding the goal.

Completely lost control of the scene and was completely pressed and beaten by Dortmund.

The attacking threats in the game all came from Borussia Dortmund.

In the 51st minute, Mark received a wonderful pass from Zhou Yi on the right side of the penalty area and turned around and shot hard, slightly over the crossbar, shocking the Werder Bremen fans into a cold sweat.

In the 56th minute, Piszczek cut in on the right and hit the goal with a powerful kick 25 meters from the goal, but the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the bottom line!

"Piszczek! Oh - it's dangerous! Werder Bremen almost conceded again!"

"In this defence, Werder Bremen's best performance should be the crossbar at their home stadium!"

Dortmund's stormy and sustained attack was a hallmark of Dortmund's heyday, and when the tempo of the game fell into their hands, they were as fast as they wanted and as slow as they wanted. The reason why this can be done is because they have a "super brain" Zhou Yi, and on the other hand, because the whole team has excellent physical fitness and excellent running ability, so they can keep up with the non-stop passing and play such a suffocating offensive on the field.

The two complement each other and are indispensable.

Borussia Dortmund's dominance in the game has decreased this season, which has been linked to their plethora of injuries, with those who were the original players either leaving the team or getting injured. A large number of new recruits have been recruited, and the training and philosophy are different from the previous Dortmund.

Therefore, there is no such thing as a dominant tactic in this world, it is the team that is dominant, a team composed of individual players, not a certain set of tactics. In the end, the tactics still have to fall on the individual performance of the players, after all, it is up to the players to execute.

If the player's ability can't do it, then no matter how powerful the tactics are, they are just empty buildings, and there is no point in talking on paper.

Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund had been playing the mad dog style for the first four seasons, when he was under the prime of his life. After four seasons of desperate squeezing, although the team has achieved unprecedented results, the team's potential can be regarded as being squeezed clean by him, and the players' bodies have begun to appear in various conditions.

Even the players who moved away from the team did not escape.

Götze had just moved to Bayern Munich this season and missed the first few league games due to injury. At that time, there was a voice that Gotze was treated inhumanely at Dortmund, crushed by Klopp like a brute, and then threw a waste that he had squeezed clean to Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich did not know about this situation until Gotze transferred and they noticed Dortmund's hidden danger from Gotze's body. Let them realize that this old rival, who has been entangled with them for several seasons, should have run out of gas this season and cannot pose any threat to them anymore......

Of course, Bayern Munich's side has never shared this view. Gotze himself refuted the "squeezing" theory.

But this specious message still circulated wildly in private, and became one of Klopp's crimes.

Regardless of those rumors, the objective fact is that Dortmund's injuries have suddenly increased this season, and the tactics that Klopp is good at will naturally not work.

The match with Werder Bremen finally made people vaguely see the "yellow and black storm" that dominated German football in previous seasons.

※※※

Dortmund's indiscriminate bombardment is not "thunder but no rain".

Their constant attempts put a lot of pressure on Werder Bremen's players, causing them to panic and lose sight of one or the other in defence.

So Dortmund's opportunity came.

In the 62nd minute, Sven Bender cut off a pass from Werder Bremen in midfield and launched a direct counter-attack.

In the counterattack, Zhou Yi and Royce came to a switch.

Zhou Yi ran to the left wing, while Royce went to the middle.

Reus received the ball in the middle and rushed forward, and after attracting the defenders of Werder Bremen, he handed the football to Zhou Yi, who had already been inserted into the left side of the box.

While receiving the ball, Zhou Yi took the football into the penalty area.

His sudden forward insertion made the defenders of Werder Bremen collectively nervous - the goal conceded in the 41st minute was because of Zhou Yi's sudden forward insertion, which caught them off guard.

They didn't want to trip over the same stone again this time!

So the Werder Bremen players in the penalty area immediately turned around to defend Zhou Yi and forced him to the side.

Zhou Yi did bring the football to the outside, but just as he was about to sprint to the side, his left heel knocked the football behind him very covertly!

The football was passed to Reuss, who was plugged in the back!

Zhou Yi took away more than half of the Werder Bremen players who defended him in the penalty area!

Reus was in front of the penalty spot and completely unmarked!

There's no better opportunity than this!

Royce shoots at the ball!

The football hit goalkeeper Wolf in a reverse corner, and he was completely powerless!
