Chapter 167: One Shot and One Pass
Of course, Wu Lei understood what Pan Yi meant.
Now he is tightly entangled by opposing defenders, and the ability to carry the ball with his back is really not his forte.
Since there is no chance of a raid, it is better to take the initiative to retreat, stand in a position almost parallel to De Bruyne, and then look for opportunities.
This is also one of the changes in Pan Yi's set of 4231, and the various drills of the usual formation type are to cope with the different situations that arise on the field.
Of course, such a change also has more requirements for Wu Lei.
At this point, he is not just a knife up front, but sometimes a defender and playmaker, always making interceptions in the midfield position and delivering passes to his teammates.
And when Wu Lei retreated, Chris Loew was a little embarrassed.
Sometimes Wu Lei runs near the middle line, does he follow or not?
He turned his head to look at Klopp, and Uncle Scum gave a "stay put" instruction.
That is, zone defense, no longer obsessed with marking.
This is also a common strategy when the target has a large range of activities.
Start marking when the target is in the designated position, and defend the zone when leaving, so that the defender is not pulled too far away and loses the defensive position.
In Klopp's view, this is also a solution to Hamburg's attacking problem on the right flank.
But now the situation on both sides of the pitch seems to have reversed a bit, and Dortmund is not just struggling on the right flank.
Hamburg was in full swing, and the attacks on Dortmund were wave after wave.
When it was close to 80 minutes, Dortmund's side only had the ability to parry and had no power to fight back.
Amid the shouts of tens of thousands of fans at People's Park, Hamburg has become the dominant side in the attack!
Before the game, Coach Pan Yi had said that he would play against Jurgen Klopp's team in this game. But at the beginning, we didn't see that, even when Hamburg was one goal down in the opening game. ”
"Sun Tzu's art of war has clouds, soldiers, and tricks. Coach Pan Yi may be using the pre-match smoke bomb to paralyze the opponent to achieve his tactical goals. ”
"Now it seems that Hamburg's real strategy in this game has been revealed! That is to defend solidly, and then go all out when the physical strength of the Dortmund players is exhausted! ”
At this time, Coach Pan Yi also fulfilled his pre-game promise, that is, to fight against Dortmund! However, he really didn't say when this confrontation began...... So, he doesn't seem to be lying? ”
"And judging by the performance of the players on the pitch, Hamburg seems to be more prepared for this game. They are more physical, better organised and more motivated with the support of the home fans. ”
"I feel...... Borussia Dortmund's goal is a bit shaky and it seems like every minute could be breached! ”
In Duan Xuan's commentary, Hamburg on the field began to strangle Dortmund's midfield strongly.
It's like a hungry wolf that has been hiding its tracks.
And as soon as he appears in front of his prey, he unceremoniously opens his fangs and pounces on the target fiercely!
This intensity of scrambling made it difficult for the already exhausted Dortmund players to adapt, and they struggled to pass the ball smoothly through the midfield, forcing them to back and forth at the back.
But even the passing between defenders is not comfortable.
When the ball was passed to Dortmund on the right flank and handed to Piszczek, Son Heung-min was seen accelerating and pounced on the Polish right-back.
Son Heung-min was fast, and the pounce was sudden, which startled Piszczek.
Piszczek, who wanted to pass the ball forward, could only stop the ball and turn around.
But he couldn't pass it to the centre-backs because there were also Hamburg players and opposition striker Jamie Vardy was eyeing him.
Piszczek was forced to pass the ball back to goalkeeper Weidenfeller.
But before Weidenfeller could catch the ball, another Hamburg player rushed forward like lightning.
This time it's De Bruyne in the front!
There were sometimes some shifts between him and Jamie Vardy to cover as much of the pressing area as possible.
Weidenfeller was too frightened to control the ball anymore, and just kicked the ball out.
That's what Hamburg's pressing up front is all about.
It's best to be able to snatch the ball directly from the feet of the goalkeeper or defender, so that you can create a great shot on goal right away.
But it doesn't matter if you can't grab it, you can force the opponent to start in a hurry.
This destroys the opponent's organized passing and possession, which is equivalent to giving the ball to Hamburg.
And after the ball flew high, it landed on the right side of the Hamburg backfield.
That's exactly what the Hamburg players are in control of.
Carvajal easily took the ball down with his head and sent it to Wu Lei's feet.
At this time, Wu Lei had already retreated to near the middle line.
His tactical goal was to press on Dortmund's midfielder captain Kele so that he had no way to receive the ball from the centre-back or goalkeeper in the middle.
And when Carvajal controlled the ball, Wu Lei immediately turned into a midfielder and came over to cooperate with his teammates.
At the same time as Wu Lei received the ball, Vardy had already inserted it from behind Hummels like a ghost!
Wu Lei saw the timing and passed the ball directly over the top, and the ball went over Hummels's head and was sent to Vardy's side impartially.
Vardy jumped up lightly and at the same time stretched out his right foot to unload the ball, and with a little further slash, he was already facing the Dortmund goalkeeper!
Weidenfeller scrambled forward to try to block Vardy's shot.
But the blistering Vardy made a delicate change of direction, swayed past Weidenfeller and then slotted the ball into the Borussia Dortmund goal with ease.
"The ball went in again!!!!!!"
“2:1! Hamburg scored again, this time Vardy! ”
"With 82 minutes to go, Hamburg made a wonderful comeback!"
"Our teenager Wu Lei delivered a wonderful assist, and then Vardy got past Weidenfeller and scored a goal for Hamburg!"
"If Hamburg can win this game, then the biggest hero is undoubtedly Wu Lei! He delivered a shot and a pass in just 20 minutes after coming on as a substitute, repaying the head coach Pan Yi's trust in him! ”
"Both goals were long through passes initiated from the right side of the backfield, and the players who passed the ball were actually Kjaer and Wu Lei? Ha ha! Who would have thought of this before the game? ”
"It seems that Coach Pan Yi really has a hand in the training of players, and it seems that many players have developed new skills......"
Klopp, who was lagging behind, was really in a hurry.
He started to make substitutions, using up the last two spots.
He wanted to fight again in the last ten minutes!
But at this time, the situation on the field was no longer under his control.
After reversing Dortmund on the scoreline, Hamburg's momentum was at its peak.
All the Hamburg players held their breath and continued to press on Dortmund.
Dortmund didn't fight back, and even struggled to resist Hamburg's attack.
The numbers speak for themselves.
In the first 60 minutes of the game, Hamburg had a shot to goal ratio of 2:12 with Dortmund leading the way.
In the final 30 minutes, the shot to goal ratio became 8:1, and Hamburg completely dominated the opposition.
Borussia Dortmund's top scorer Robert Lewandowski only threatened the Hamburg goal with a header from a team-mate's wide cross, but he didn't hit the woodwork.
Pan Yi also brought on Westerman and Janssen in the final stage to keep the team alive, and by the way, delayed the game time.
They also executed their pressing tactics well, allowing Dortmund to have no chances to score in the closing stages.
At the final outpost, the score was still fixed at 2:1.
Hamburg beat the mighty Borussia Dortmund at home to claim their third Bundesliga win of the season!
