Chapter Forty-Seven: Utter Madness, Dortmund's Terrifying Firepower
In the audience, in the middle of a large crowd of Dortmund fans in yellow jerseys, sat a young man in a suit and leather shoes.
If Lin Quan was here, he would definitely recognize him as the same Chelsea scout he had seen on the sidelines of the training ground before - George Evans.
He chose to watch the game live, in addition to examining De Bruyne's performance at Werder Bremen, to judge whether he met the team's expectations and whether he could recall the team to play.
Another purpose is to inspect the strength and game form of Dortmund's main striker Lewandowski for Chelsea, as Lin Quan guessed.
The Pole was impressed at Borussia Dortmund last season, scoring 22 goals and providing eight assists in 34 league appearances.
Although the number of goals is only the third in the Bundesliga, there is not a single penalty in his 22 goals, which is very high.
As long as he can pick up on his impressive form this season and prove that he is not a flash in the pan, then he can become one of the top scorers in the world.
Based on the transfer market's valuation of Lewandowski, the Pole is now worth about 30 million euros, which is not too expensive, and Chelsea must be able to win it if they make a move.
But judging by the performance so far in the first half, there was nothing about Lewandowski that made him feel bright.
On the contrary, it was the kid who kicked a free kick and hit him in the head, and his performance on the field was amazing.
After George saw Lin Quan's performance, he couldn't help but add a column to the back of the inspection report, recording Lin Quan's wonderful performance in this game in detail.
Although he knows that a player of this age is not the kind of player that Chelsea desperately need at the moment.
However, just seeing the huge potential that the other party can't hide, he feels that if he doesn't recommend him to the club, it will be his own dereliction of duty!
……
On the field, Dortmund's players wanted to attack and were afraid of losing the ball, which lasted for more than ten minutes.
It wasn't until the twentieth minute, towards the end of the first half, that they finally adjusted.
Isn't it just losing?
If you don't attack, you will lose, and if you attack, you may be able to save the situation.
And the opponent's running does not seem to be as active as at the beginning, and there is no more sharp attack like at the beginning.
This made the Dortmund players breathe a sigh of relief, so they put aside their worries and continued to carry out their full-court pressing tactics.
It turns out that when Dortmund are firmly executing Klopp's tactics, their attacking firepower is among the best in European football!
In the 22nd minute of the game, Dortmund only stepped up this summer to bring in new signing Reuss from Borussia Mönchengladbach at a high price.
He received a pass from a team-mate, got away from a defender and fired a powerful shot into the box to find the back of the net for Werder Bremen.
The shot was so beautiful that there was nothing the goalkeeper could do about it.
The score was 2-1 and Dortmund were still one goal behind.
At the moment of the goal, the atmosphere of the entire Westphalian Stadium exploded instantly!
The 80,000 fans let out a terrifying sound that almost toppled the dome of the stadium, and the passion that had been suppressed for more than 20 minutes finally had a chance to be released at this moment.
In the South Stand, the 30,000 fans who have been singing the team song since the beginning of the game, even when the team is behind, have raised the volume again.
Countless fans slapped their chests hard, held up the fan scarves in their hands, and roared and sang the team song "Never Walk Alone".
As they sang, a huge flag was slowly unfurled.
It was a huge yellow flag with the words BVB on it!
Seeing this flag, the Dortmund players, who were already enthusiastic, were like saint warriors with endless power injected into their bodies, and their enthusiasm was full of enthusiasm, and their fighting spirit climbed to the peak.
"What a terrible home momentum!"
Phil Krueger shrunk his neck and said with some fear.
Lin Quan nodded slightly, and felt very shocked in his heart.
It was only then that he finally got a glimpse of the power of this Devil's Stadium.
This intuitive feeling cannot be experienced in television broadcasts.
He glanced at his teammates, and before the first half was over, many of them were already running out of breath.
Especially those who didn't rest well last night, their physical fitness was not fully recovered, and they sped up in the first half to play a fast attack with the opponent.
Coupled with the oppressive atmosphere of the opponent's devil's home field, their physical strength was greatly consumed.
It's not going to go on like this!
Lin Quan looked at the sidelines, Coach Schaaf was expressionless, and he had no intention of making adjustments.
The game continued, and the Dortmund players, who scored a goal, were in full form by this time.
As if they had inexhaustible strength, they continued to execute the impact tactics of pressing from the top position.
On the other hand, Werder Bremen is gradually unable to keep up with the rhythm of the other party.
Less than two minutes after the last goal, Borussia Dortmund made a successful tackle in front of the goal, Lewandowski and Reuss collided with the wall, and after receiving the ball in the box, they used their strong bodies to get the ball into the goal of Werder Bremen with the interference of defenders.
Dortmund is the next city!
The score was equalized by the opponent in 2 minutes!
And that's not all, Dortmund's madness isn't over yet.
Just a minute later, Lewandowski latched on to Reus's pass, scrambled in the box and headed past Werder Bremen again.
The score became 3:2 and Dortmund scored three goals in three minutes to turn the game around!
Dortmund: It's a completely crazy rhythm!
At this moment, the players who replaced Werder Bremen were confused.
Look at the already lively stadium like an erupting volcano, and look at the Dortmund players with crazy and hideous faces written all over their faces.
Each of them was frustrated, and in just three minutes, they who had a huge advantage in their hands not only gave up their advantages, but also fell into extreme adversity.
Dortmund's offensive firepower made them feel terrified!
They began to wonder: could they really beat such a terrifying team?
Thankfully, time was running out of time in the first half, with less than three minutes left after Borussia Dortmund's celebrations.
If it weren't for the short time, Werder Bremen, who had already been beaten and doubted about life, would most likely continue to concede goals!
At halftime, Coach Schaaf looked at the dejected players and couldn't help but sigh.
He clapped his hands, caught the attention of the players, and said:
"You played well in the first half, you executed the tactics we set before the game, although the final score was not perfect, we couldn't hold on to the huge advantage, but that's not your responsibility, it's my responsibility!"
In the last few minutes of the first half, it was clear that some players were out of action.
To add insult to injury, he developed a strategy to attack with Dortmund in the first half.
This makes the physical exertion of players who are already lacking in physical fitness in the game become greater, and the time they can continue to play is also greatly shortened.
The team collapsed in the final stage, and he himself could not shirk the responsibility.
And Schaaf did not shy away from this, mistaking it in front of the players.
"Coach, we ......"
Captain Fritz opened his mouth, as if to say something, but Schaff raised his hand to stop him.
"Clemens, needless to say, time is running out, listen to me!"
He took out the tactics board and drew on it the tactics they were going to execute in the second half.
'Borussia Dortmund are not invincible and those two goals we scored in the first half were proof!'
'So, in the second half we played like this, I would take out a couple of players who were too physically exerted and bring on a bunch of players with a lot of fitness.
However, these people are not going to attack, but to defend.
We have to use the ultimate defense to stifle the opponent's attack, and the team can't concede any more goals!
Wait until the last five minutes of the game and you pick up the pace and hit them like you did at the beginning of the first half.
We don't need too many goals, just one goal is enough to drag the opposition into a penalty shoot-out!
And when it comes to the penalty shootout, the suspense of the victory or defeat is left to God to decide! ”
PS: It's not that I deliberately made any show effect, the score of this game in history is like this, Werder Bremen scored two goals in the opening five minutes, and Dortmund scored three goals in three minutes.
The real world is often even more outrageous than fiction!
