Chapter 464: A Net
Bwach was surprised to see his team's performance on the sidelines, he did not expect that in the face of Barcelona's fierce attack, Dortmund, who had one man less, did not look embarrassed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Under Zhou Yi's leadership, Dortmund's defense is resilient and ...... Don't be surprised.
Seeing the team's performance like this, Bouas breathed a sigh of relief - at least he didn't have to worry about conceding a goal right away.
Now he can take the exam and think about what to do next.
This substitution is important because it will determine the guiding ideology of the team that will go forward.
If he replaces an attacking player, it will be a blow to the team's attacking enthusiasm. If he replaces a defender, it might come across as if he's trying to break the bank......
Burn one's ship?
A light suddenly lit up in Boits' head.
At such a time, what would Klopp do?
Bwach glanced back at the stands, and he saw Klopp staring nervously at the pitch as well.
He thought about it carefully, if it was Klopp, what decision would he have made?
With what he knows about Klopp, it's not that hard.
Jurgen Klopp is not the kind of coach who follows the rules, nor is he the kind of coach who is passive and conservative.
If needed, he would be extremely surprising.
He is willing to take risks and take responsibility, so he often reaps some more and more generous rewards than ordinary people.
Sometimes, you have to take risks......
Thinking of this, Bouács made a choice.
He replaced Sven Bender with Felipe Santana.
This decision seemed unbelievable to many commentators.
'Replacing a defensive midfielder with a centre-back, is that a defensive reinforcement and what's the point of such substitutions?
That's the impact of Jurgen Klopp being sent off in the stands. If Jurgen Klopp had stayed on the sidelines and commanded the team, he would never have made such a stupid change!"
"From this substitution, it can be seen that Dortmund has lost......"
Commentators from all over the world are commenting on this substitution.
Even Marcel Leif was worried: "Replacing a central defender with a midfielder. Borussia Dortmund is still thinking about attacking...... But against Barcelona, with a less defensive player in midfield, how long can they hold on......?
※※※
When Sven Bender was substituted, Bouacchi grabbed him and comforted: "You did a great job, Sven. But we're going to attack now. ”
Sven Bender nodded in understanding. At this time, as long as you don't want to lose, you really have to attack. There's not much to say about it, he's always been obedient to the coach's arrangement.
After Santana ran onto the pitch, he brought the players acting head coach Bouach's plan for the team's next move.
Very simple sentence.
Santana pointed at Zhou Yi and shouted to everyone: "The coach said, how to play, listen to Zhou Yi!"
No one objected, and no one was surprised, and the coaching staff just handed over almost all the power to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi just led everyone to fight with Barcelona's attack, and he did a very good job, and everyone believed in him.
※※※
When the game resumed, Barcelona changed a bit – they saw Borussia Dortmund replace a lone defensive midfielder and they had to have an idea.
Although Zhou Yi is a midfielder, he is not good at defense. Gundogan is both offensive and defensive, but from another point of view, both offense and defense are not particularly good, compared with Sven Bender, who specializes in defense, Gundogan's defensive ability is indeed a little worse.
As a result, Dortmund's defensive hardness in midfield has plummeted, and Barcelona's midfield is already very strong, and it is not difficult for Barcelona to score another goal.
Now Barcelona only needs to score one more goal and the aggregate score is 3:1, and the suspense of this game is over, and Dortmund will not have any chance to turn around anyway.
So when the game resumed, Barcelona attacked more aggressively, and it was Santana that was played. It seems that he wants to break Santana when he is just on the field and is still on his feet.
There are many players who have not yet entered the game after they have just come on the pitch, and they are prone to some mistakes.
But that didn't happen to Santana.
He was very solid.
When it was Dortmund's turn to take possession of the ball, they did not drive the ball straight forward as other teams did against Barcelona, keeping the ball as far away from their own defensive zone as possible. Instead, under the leadership of Zhou Yi, he controlled the situation with fast and accurate passes.
Barcelona faced Dortmund's quick passes, their frontcourt siege did not work, and Dortmund players, including Zhou Yi, could always pass the football before they came around......
In this way, the Barcelona player will turn to the next Dortmund player who receives the ball, and it looks like the Barcelona player is being led by the nose by Dortmund's pass.
Despite the absence of Sven Bender, Dortmund's defensive hardness in midfield has not decreased much......
On some occasions, Barcelona sieges allowed Dortmund players to pass the ball all the way to goalkeeper Weidenfeller, but that didn't get them on the scoresheet.
If Dortmund's defense used to give them the impression of a wall, then now Dortmund's defense feels like a very dense net to Barcelona players, their attack can deform and twist this net, but can not pierce this net, all the power is trapped by this net.
But in the face of this net, Barcelona's players have the illusion that with a little more strength, they can pierce this thin net.
So they continued to scramble Dortmund players up front and in midfield.
In Zhou Yi's view, the hint of an opportunity has appeared, but it is not the best opportunity, and he still needs to be patient to observe and wait.
Because this kind of opportunity is not easy to come by, it is necessary to pay attention to the one-hit kill, if you can't score the first time, I am afraid it will not be easy to think about it next time. With Barcelona's ability to control the ball, as long as they control the football and do not attack, they can drag the score of 2:1 until the end of the game.
But we can't wait too long. Because Barcelona are not stupid as the game goes by, and if they see that they really can't find the Dortmund goal again, they will choose a more pragmatic approach and start to focus more on control and defense.
So in fact, the window for Dortmund to score is very short, and waiting patiently may wait for the opponent's recovery, then you will miss the opportunity.
This is a great test of Zhou Yi's decision-making ability.
In the face of such a situation, Zhou Yi has his own way.
If you keep waiting, you may not be able to wait for a better opportunity in the end, so what if you want a better opportunity?
Created on its own initiative, of course!
Zhou Yi decided to make a more risky and bold move, he would no longer stay in the backfield and finish with a long pass, he would be more deeply involved in the team's attack.
Defending and counterattacking is not just a method of long passing!
When the ball was passed to Zhou Yi again, Keita pounced.
In the face of Keita's menacing swoop, Zhou Yi did not pass the football out. In the eyes of outsiders, Kate rushed very violently, aggressively, and did not come well. But in Zhou Yi's opinion, it was simply full of flaws.
Maybe he didn't take himself seriously, or he felt that he could only force the ball out.
But this time, Zhou Yi had to make a different choice.
Facing Keita, who rushed up, Zhou Yi's right foot gently pulled the football to the left.
Keita swooped down.
A simple action that couldn't be simpler could not have been simpler, and Keita was shaken away, and everyone present was surprised.
Including Keita.
But Zhou Yi didn't, he didn't have time to be complacent.
After pulling the ball to the left with his right foot, he flicked the ball forward to the left with his left heel as he jumped up and dodged Keita, who couldn't stop the car.
After landing, Zhou Yi accelerated to start, caught up with the football, and he broke through with the ball forward!
Barcelona's players rushed over from all directions to surround Zhou Yi.
At this time, Zhou Yi did not continue to rush forward with the ball, and he quickly passed the football to Gundogan not far away. After passing the ball, he didn't stop, but continued to run.
Gundogan passed the ball to Piszczek on the wing, and Zhou Yi had already run diagonally in front of Piszczek.
Piszczek passed the football to Zhou Yi again.
It's all a one-kick pass, no one stops the ball to adjust again, and then Barcelona's encirclement comes up. Only a one-kick pass can ensure that the football is not intercepted halfway.
After Zhou Yi received the ball, he also passed the ball with one kick, and passed the football to Shinji Kagawa without stopping.
He then walked around behind Shinji Kagawa and ran forward.
As he walked around Shinji Kagawa, Shinji Kagawa knocked the football to him with his heel. In the face of Shinji Kagawa's football, Zhou Yi kicked the football directly to the middle, and Lewandowski, who retreated to receive it, received the ball.
And by this time, Dortmund had already attacked the 30-meter area of Barcelona!
In just a few passes, in six seconds, Dortmund went from defense to attack, and also threatened Barcelona's goal!
"This is Dortmund's counterattack!" Marcel Leif shouted, excitement in his voice.
"Dortmund's quick counterattack has hit the heart of Barcelona!" He Ping was also excited.
There was a huge boo over the Camp Nou, which was a pressure on the Dortmund players, but could also be interpreted as a ...... Dying!
