Chapter Seventy-One: Some Teammates Who Have Drifted Away from the Beginning Again!
Jurgen Klopp gave the Dortmund players a rare smile and explained the tactical arrangements for the game.
Generally speaking, he is more serious when he talks about tactical arrangements.
Han Ning could also clearly feel that his teammates seemed to be full of confidence in today's game.
It's even a little floating.
Even Gotze didn't take Udinese seriously anymore.
After all, Dortmund have won most of their games during this time.
The two games that were lost, one was because of Han Ning's truce, and the team's main lineup was incomplete.
The other was because of the physical exertion in the game against Schalke 04, and nearly half of the team's main squad was rested.
So for these two defeats, the Dortmund players did not pay much attention to it.
Even the match against Bayern Munich that ended in a draw gave Borussia Dortmund's players a lot of confidence.
After all, that's Bayern Munich!
Han Ning's heart was vaguely uneasy.
There is an old Chinese saying that is good.
The arrogant army will be defeated!
The current atmosphere in the team of Dortmund has some such trends.
Udinese, it seems, has been completely out of sight.
Although Udinese only finished seventh in Serie A last season.
But last season's Dortmund ranked thirteenth in the Bundesliga!
This season, there are only two more twin stars, Han Ning and Gotze.
But Udinese's golden pair is also more mature!
In addition, Dortmund's opponents in the past were all teams in the Bundesliga, so they are very familiar with each other's style of play and tactics.
Now they are facing a team from Serie A, whether it is the tactics of the opposing team or the ability of the players, the players and coaches of Dortmund can only learn from the video material. There is no more intuitive feeling.
So with the current strength of Dortmund, the chances of winning against Udinese are really not good!
As soon as he thought of this, Han Ning's face became a little difficult to look at. It's completely different from the joyful atmosphere of the teammates around me.
...........
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and the game officially began.
Udinese kick off first.
Han Ning rushed up as soon as possible to make a steal.
However, Quagliarella didn't give him any chances and immediately passed the ball back to the Udinese midfielder.
Han Ning glanced deeply at Quagliarella.
In the original history, the three Udinese giants Quagliarella, Di Natale and Motta all played in the final stages of the game.
But today, I don't know why, these three generals appeared from the beginning.
This made his heart once again clouded with a haze.
Udinese, who is obviously stronger than at the beginning of this game in the previous life, may be more difficult to deal with.
However, the other players of Dortmund seemed to be a little too excited, and when they saw Han Ning rushing out to press, all the players in Dortmund's midfield couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts and rushed over to press Udinese in the midfield.
All of a sudden, the vast majority of players from both sides were around the midfield.
Generally speaking, if it is a team in the Bundesliga, it may be a little scramble when facing such a press.
But what Serie A teams are best at dealing with is this kind of desperate onslaught from the opposing team.
The consequence of the pressure of the army is the emptiness of the rear!
Udinese, who was already good at defending and counterattacking, suddenly got the same opportunity as a defensive counterattack.
Di Natale and Quagliarella began to sprint towards Borussia Dortmund's backfield.
Udinese's right-back Motta also burst in from the flanks with the ball.
Gotze took the lead and tried to snatch the ball from Motta's feet.
However, Motta didn't bother with Gotze at all, and passed the football horizontally to his teammates.
In desperation, Gotze had to turn around and run towards the Udinese player who was holding the ball.
The Udinese midfielder who received the pass did not hesitate and passed the ball back to Motta.
At this time, a gap of more than ten meters had appeared in front of Mota.
Without hesitation, he sprinted forward with the ball for a distance of ten meters, and suddenly pumped his right foot towards the football at his feet.
The ball rolled quickly along the touchline, straight through the Dortmund flank, and into the feet of Di Natale.
In the next two years, Di Natale, who has won the Serie A Golden Boot in a row, will have the biggest advantage is his speed!
After winning the ball, he began to lunge, directly using his speed to surpass Dortmund's left-back Schmelzer.
Come to the bottom line and kick in a cross!
Quagliarella managed to get the ball up to the ball under Hummels' defence.
However, Weidenfeller played bravely and directly blocked Quagliarella's header.
All the Dortmund players and fans present couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It's really a Serie A team that is good at playing defensive counterattacks!
Such a counterattack is extremely sharp!
"Beep!"
Udinese were awarded a free-kick in front.
However, Motta didn't cross directly, but passed the ball directly to Di Natale, who was next to him.
Schmelzer stepped up to the occasion, wanting to defend Di Natale and make up for his mistake.
However, Di Natale didn't want to go it alone at all, and without hesitation, he passed the football to Quagliarella, who was on the line of the big penalty area, near the 45-degree angle of the goal.
At this time, there was no one within two meters of Quagliarella's body!
Seeing this, Han Ning's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly rushed over.
But by the time he rushed in front of Quagliarella, he had already finished shooting from distance.
"Bang!"
The ball spun in the air and a beautiful arc went around all the players in the box and flew straight to the top right corner of the goal.
Since Weidenfeller mainly defends in the near corner. When I found out about the movement of the football in the air, my heart was half cold.
Even if you desperately try to run to the far corner to make a save, it is already too late.
"Bell!"
"Huh!"
The ball hits the crossbar in the top right corner of the Dortmund goal and bounces into the net!
In less than three minutes of the opening period, Dortmund fell behind again!
Han Ning couldn't help but grit his teeth.
He'd found the loophole, but he still hadn't had time to plug it.
Staring at Quagliarella, Han Ning's eyes lit up with a sense of war.
The more tough the opponent, the more excited he became!
However, when the game resumed, the faces of the Dortmund players showed a hint of helplessness and resentment.
Udinese, who was only one goal ahead, chose to retreat and defend without hesitation!
Is it really to defend to the end?!
It is really accurate to describe the style of Serie A to use a one-goal lead to win!
Anyway, you only need to be one goal ahead to win, and as long as you take the lead, you don't hesitate to choose to defend solidly.
This style really made Han Ning and his teammates feel extremely uncomfortable.
