Chapter 149: The Posture of Fighting for Life
"Cazorla! Pretty!! Arsenal's front-court team teamwork completely tore Dortmund's direction apart, and it was only ten minutes into the game! Arsenal took the lead!! ”
Duan Xuan was also shouting,
"Ye Luo instigated this goal! His passing is simply pleasing to the eye and unguardable! ”
Cazorla was also quite excited after the goal.
Because it means that Arsenal can win away from home against Borussia Dortmund.
In the two-legged knockout round, it has an absolute advantage!
The Arsenal players followed, chanting in celebration amid the boos at the Westphalen Stadium.
The televised footage showed the whole process of Arsenal's goal in slow motion.
Ye Luo's run!
Ye Luo's Choice!
Yelo's passing options.
In the case of slow-motion amplification, the fans are fascinated by it.
If you lift a weight, you can make a complicated situation simple when you talk and laugh.
When he unexpectedly slipped the ball to Mane.
The next thing for the Arsenal players is much simpler.
Sadio Mane's cross.
Cazorla shoots.
Everything seemed so relaxed.
"I'm used to seeing Ye Luo's goals and direct assists, and this kind of offensive strategy should also be released."
"Pleasing to the eye!"
"Awesome!"
"It's so slippery!"
"Cool!"
"It's a !! of coolness"
All of a sudden.
On the barrage on the Dragon Kingdom Internet, the comments of fans floated by.
Frankly.
This is a bit unfair to Cazorla, who scored the goal.
After all, it's the people who score the most attention.
But who made this in the Dragon Country?
And the key to this goal is indeed Ye Luo.
He took at least eighty or ninety percent of the credit for that goal.
Without his instigation to create space, where would Sadio Mane and Cazorla be able to get open passes and open shots so easily?
On the football field.
There's a term for it called the "penultimate pass".
This pass deserves to be the one that goes to the player who assists directly.
Sometimes.
The penultimate pass was the most crucial pass in the whole goalscoring process.
Of course, before that, there was Yelo who created space by passing and running, mobilizing opponents and teammates.
Pass the key pass and hit it deadly!
Klopp's brow furrowed.
The goal conceded made Dortmund passive.
If Dortmund chose to take the initiative to attack before, it was their own active tactical choice.
So now Dortmund can't do without attacking.
Klopp's aide asked: "What do we do now?" ”
"What should I do?"
Klopp looked up, his gaze a little uncertain.
His eyes were on Ye Luo's body.
This person is not restricted.
Borussia Dortmund could concede more goals.
But does Dortmund have a choice now?
"Just a goal! This won't stop us! ”
Klopp gritted his teeth.
But if you change the team's pre-match tactics just ten minutes into the game.
It is likely to deal a fatal blow to the morale of the team.
Because the players may be suspicious.
Our pre-match preparations were all in vain, we were forced to change tactics and we might really be inferior to the other side.
So the current Dortmund cannot be changed.
Jurgen Klopp, instead, continued to boost the morale of the team and push them up to attack.
At the same time, he dragged Sven to his side and taught him face-to-face.
Let him strengthen the defense of Yelo.
Svende knew what Klopp meant.
What was Svende's method of restricting Yelo?
That's to strengthen the foul!
Svende and Yeloh are now inseparable.
Don't you have to have the ball, do you?
I'm not going to give you a chance.
As long as Yelo has the possibility of getting the ball, Svende will go straight to the hand and pull it over directly.
He didn't move much.
There is no need for fouls that look vicious.
But it's such a piecemeal foul, and it can't be carded, and it can limit Ye Luo's play.
In Svinde's opinion.
As long as Yelo doesn't have the ball at his feet.
Then his threat would be greatly reduced.
You have to pass the ball, you have to assist, you have to shoot.
You've got to have the ball at your feet, right?
Svende felt he understood Klopp's intentions.
Found a way to deal with Ye Luo.
But soon Svende felt the pressure.
Because it was so simple to limit Ye Luo's words.
He wouldn't have been able to score so many goals and assists.
Since the opponent is going to foul.
Then Ye Luo strengthened the range of his running, by running back and forth, turning back and running, temporarily getting rid of the marking and taking care of the ball with one foot.
Maybe other players are prone to mistakes because of this.
But Ye Luo won't.
Gradually, Svende was also a little anxious.
His movements are also getting bigger.
So when he shoveled Ye Luo from the side behind.
The referee finally stared at the boos at the Westphalian Stadium and showed the first yellow card.
Svende defended himself to the referee in an attempt to get him back.
But the referee won't listen to him.
Just waved him away.
Svende looked at Yelo.
Ye Luo smiled at him.
Svende couldn't help but shudder.
It was as if it was not a human who grinned at him and showed two rows of big white fangs, but a giant beast from the ancient wilderness.
That yellow card calmed Svind.
He didn't dare to make any more big moves.
Otherwise, if you get a second yellow card and get sent off, then Dortmund will be completely finished.
And in fact.
As a midfielder who is mainly responsible for defending sweeps.
Svend's yellow card is also a constraint on him.
And under the leadership of Ye Luo.
Arsenal are starting to dominate the attack - Dortmund are not attacking well and the defence has not been able to limit Yelo effectively, so now Arsenal don't care about counter-attacks, because they don't need to counter-attack at all.
Arsenal continued to create chances.
There was a lot of noise in front of Dortmund's goal.
In the stands at the Westphalen Stadium, Dortmund fans were also gritting their teeth, fearing that their team might concede a second goal at any moment.
However, Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller performed very well in this game.
His brilliant play prevented Dortmund from conceding a second goal in the first half.
After the whistle of the first half.
You can also see the state of the players leaving the field.
Things weren't good for Borussia Dortmund, with their players frowning, their heads bowed and walking off the pitch quickly.
Klopp also stood up directly from the dugout, walked quickly into the players' tunnel, and headed towards the dressing room.
In fact, Klopp was greatly relieved.
Because the first half was passive.
But he didn't concede any more goals.
This is critical.
Because it gives him room to adjust at half-time.
The two halves of a football match can actually be seen as two separate games.
Because the two sides are after halftime adjustments.
The performance in the second half is very likely to be different from the first.
In the locker room.
Jurgen Klopp is mainly emphasizing the attacking side of things.
As for defense
Jurgen Klopp decided to put Svende in charge of the sweep while Gundogan kept an eye on Yelo.
Avoid Svende getting a second yellow card.
After the start of the second half.
Borussia Dortmund put on a big attacking stance.
But it couldn't be attacked.
Football is more on the periphery.
Their players are in a bit of a hurry.
One of the proofs of this was that Reuss fired an anti-aircraft gun from 30 yards from goal to the right of the penalty area.
The anxiety caused by the shot spread like a plague among Dortmund's players.
Royce came with a kick.
Aubameyang is not willing to be lonely.
As a centre-forward, he went straight back to midfield to ask for the ball, then turned and fired a shot at goal.
Such a shot has no offensive organization at all, no angle.
It's all about the pursuit of miracles.
Vigor can sometimes do miracles.
But since it's all said to be a miracle.
It proves that this kind of thing doesn't happen very often.
Otherwise, it shouldn't be called a miracle, it should be called a big shot and often score.
So the players and fans who were dreaming of being able to blast Arsenal's goal open with a long-range shot, and then overtake the score and win the comeback, Dortmund players and fans have just discovered the cruelty of reality.
Fifty-sixth minute of the game.
Arsenal had a very good attacking chance.
It was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who pulled the side and wanted to cut inside.
As a result, his shot was blocked by Van Dijk.
Fell at the feet of Yelo.
Yelo took the ball with his back to the attack.
Gundogan posted it as soon as possible, intending to stick to Ye Luo.
However, Ye Luo flicked the outside of his instep and turned from the other direction while passing the ball out.
Gundogan took care of one thing and lost the other, and was immediately got rid of Ye Luo.
Then the fullback Luke Shaw, who received Yelo's pass, honestly passed the ball back to Yelo's feet!
"Ye Luo! Counterattack! Arsenal's counterattack is coming!! ”
No need for a narrator's reminder.
Borussia Dortmund's players are well aware.
Svende immediately rushed to Yelo, who was dribbling the ball.
As a result, Yelo passed the ball diagonally and sent the ball to the feet of Sanchez, who was cut in on the wing.
Sanchez picked up the pace quickly and sprinted straight up front.
When he has the ball.
Dortmund's backfield is as empty as the endless savannah!
Sanchez is galloping.
"Sanchez!! He's fast!! ”
"Bump him!"
"Tackle !!"
"Stop him from !!"
"Damn !!"
Shouts echoed through the Westphalian Stadium.
In the twinkling of an eye.
The flames of war burned to the back of Borussia Dortmund.
When Sanchez dribbles forward at high speed.
Borussia Dortmund's other players panicked back into defence.
Left-back Schmelzer finally caught up with Sanchez in front of the penalty area and blocked it on the flank.
Sanchez didn't rely on his speed to continue to force breakthroughs.
There's not much room left for him to play with his speed.
He slowed down and glanced up at the situation in the penalty area.
Then he flicked the ball down with his right foot and made a feint of crossing, and after the deceived Schmelzer reached out to block it, he slammed it with his right foot.
Buckle the ball to your left foot and gently push it towards the arc of the penalty area!
Over there.
Ye Luo had already plugged in at high speed.
Zhang Gong takes an arrow!
At this time!
Playing back to the two centre-backs in the hot box, Subotic and Hummels tackled almost simultaneously.
They weren't shoveling towards Yelo.
Instead, turn your body sideways.
Block the line of the shot.
If Yelo is going to shoot.
You can only kick the ball up.
You can't kick the earth.
In this case, it is extremely difficult to kick the ball into the air and go around the bodies of the two defenders to shoot the ball into the goal.
There is a high probability that it will fly.
Yelo had intended to shoot, but when Subotic and Hummels desperately tackled, he changed his mind.
The right foot, which was about to shoot, suddenly relaxed.
The tense instep turned into a spoon.
Hooking the ball off the ground, the ball soared into the air and flew past the two defenders at the same time.
Yelo also jumped to his feet and leaped past two of Dortmund's centre-backs who had fallen to the ground.
"Ye Luo! Single-handed!! ”
In the midst of the narrator's exclamation.
Yelo got past two defenders and reached out to hook the ball back.
At this moment.
Weidenfeller has struck!
"Weidenfeller!!"
On site.
On the commentary seat.
The Dortmund radio commentator cries out in desperation with a strong sense of hope.
He wanted to see Weidenfeller block a single knife.
Almost all the fans stood up slightly at this point.
Keep an eye on the restricted area.
A scene awaiting the collision of the two sides.
Weidenfeller was aggressive.
He had to do it.
Because he wants to have the upper hand in momentum.
It's just when he just wants to judge what Ye Luo is going to do.
Ye Luo suddenly clasped his right foot.
"I'm going to go inside!!"
Weidenfeller decisively moved half a step to the left front.
Always ready to eject your body out.
But at the moment when he moved this half step, Ye Luo suddenly stabbed his left foot.
Right foot buckle, left foot poke.
This was done almost instantaneously.
And wait for Weidenfeller to react.
The ball had rolled past his feet.
Attached to the inner edge of the column.
Roll into the net!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!”
"Ye Luo!! Three to zero! Another brace!! Pretty!!! ”
Ye Luo first made a right-footed smash and walked the inside stance, and then waited for Weidenfeller to make a move and poked his left foot lightly, the movement range was small but very effective!! The ball is in! Three to zero! Arsenal are 3-0 up at Borussia Dortmund! ”
On the commentary seat.
Almost all of the narrators were chanting.
Only the Dortmund radio commentator covered his face in pain.
Just like all the fans at the Westphalian Stadium.
If you are behind by one goal, you can still chase it.
It's not hopeless to be two goals down.
Three goals behind
That's basically the equivalent of a death sentence.
Although there is still time for the game.
But
To face this Arsenal rising up to chase three goals in a row of Jedi counterattack.
Not many sane Dortmund fans would think that this kind of thing would happen.
The entire Westphalian Stadium.
The Dortmund fans covered their faces in pain.
Some clasped their hands to their chests, looking dazed.
At this time.
The camera is pointed at the stands.
Some fans are already starting to leave the stadium.
Some of the Dortmund fans couldn't stand it anymore, they chose to leave the pitch early, and less than ten minutes into the second half, Dortmund's threatening attack was almost not seen, but Arsenal scored again! Trailing 3-0, Dortmund has no hope of overtaking or even equalising."
Dortmund fans, who saw no hope, began to leave the stadium.
Soon.
The stadium stands were much empty.
The remaining Dortmund fans have no more heart.
They sat in the stands, staring at the pitch as if they were in a nightmare.
Klopp stood on the sidelines, his hands on his chest, his brows furrowed, and he shook his head slightly.
Borussia Dortmund now need to attack.
Goals need to be scored!
One goal would have lifted Dortmund's morale again.
But what do you have to do to score goals?
Klopp looked at the bench.
And then
Let striker Adrian. Ramos, midfielders Shinji Kagawa and Mkhitaryan all went to warm up.
Dortmund has come to fight hard.
However, in the case of three goals down.
Klopp had to bet.
"Make it easier for them to play and play straight from the back! You have to control the highs! ”
Klopp put his arm around Adrian's shoulders and explained.
Adrian nodded frequently.
"Leave it to me, boss!"
Klopp nodded.
Pushed Adrian to the sidelines.
Adrian replaces Svende!
Change to a defensive midfielder, a striker!
Borussia Dortmund is in a desperate position! (End of chapter)
