Chapter 142: Don't Break the Defense, I'm Really Better Than You [Ask for Subscription!] 】
"Real Madrid used a solid defense to make the young Dortmund repeatedly frustrated in the opening stages of the game! The Hornet's quick attack, which the Hornets used to be most proud of in the Bundesliga, seems to have lost its sharp momentum.
Lewandowski, the excellent center forward who was the third highest scorer in the Bundesliga last season, seems to be lost in Real Madrid's constant defense!
Without him, both Gotze and Reus will have to spend more energy than ever before to get the chance to attack with the ball in Real Madrid's defensive third.
The Polish centre-forward needs to play smarter, I don't know how Klopp will mention his disciples at the moment, but there won't be much time left for them, because Real Madrid's counter-attack could threaten at any time! ”
Today's commentary on this Champions League battle is Duan Xuan, who is very familiar with the Bundesliga.
As a Bayern fan, Duan Xuan knows Dortmund very well who has been pressing Bayern for two years, which is also reasonable.
If you want to talk about individual ability, the attacking trident in Dortmund's team is actually first-class in football.
There are no top players, but Klopp has put the three of them together, and with the power of his individual tactics, he has used the three of them to a level far beyond the first-class attacking combination.
But today he met the more vicious Mourinho.
This is up to the average coach to do tactical targeting, and most of them will choose to limit Gotze's play first and press Dortmund's attacking engine.
The second is to limit Reuss' wide push and press Dortmund's attacking variant.
Finally, Lewandowski will be considered.
After all, Lewandowski is a standard "center forward", and he doesn't have too much individual breakthrough ability.
You'd expect him to have a flash of inspiration and occasionally play tricks, but to have him shoot in and out of the box like Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic would be a pure embarrassment for him.
But for Mourinho, it is the play of Lewandowski that will make Dortmund's attack the most uncomfortable.
Because he was going to make Gotze and Royce lose their "tactical shield".
Without Lewandowski's involvement and drop-back to play the ball, Gotze and Reus would not have been restrained, but they would have to face Real Madrid's midfield defence more often!
Mourinho wants to make Dortmund's two strikers spend a lot of energy to hit Real Madrid's "reinforced concrete wall".
He deployed three midfielders on the pitch, with Leon looking to play in central midfield today, but when defending he would retreat to the edge of the box and face Götze.
With such defensive specifications, Mourinho doesn't believe that Gotze and Reus can be so powerful that they can far surpass Robery's or Messi + Sanchez combination!
He had that defensive confidence, and in fact he didn't misjudge, and after sacrificing a certain amount of attacking initiative, Dortmund started with a complete inability to penetrate Real Madrid's defensive third.
Jurgen Klopp doesn't like to be conservative, or rather, when he doesn't think his side is completely inferior, and he is more likely to play adventurous attacks.
Mourinho caught this little flaw in Klopp and opened the opening frame with a shrinking fist.
And now, it's time to punch the fist out!
Mourinho set his sights on Real Madrid's backfield and turned to Leon.
And in the twelfth minute of the first half, when Leon saw Essien block Reuss's inside attempt, it was also the first decisive forward sprint!
"Beautiful break! Real Madrid's counter-attack opportunity is here! ”
The moment Duan Xuan saw Li Ang running forward, he subconsciously yelled in the studio!
In the midst of the gallop, Essien's diagonal straight plug was very decisive.
Leon saw Gotze in front of him and Reus who was starting to defend back, and he didn't choose the easier way to pass the ball in the past.
Because Gotze's obstruction will waste him some time chasing the ball, and Reus's speed is even more than he can match now.
It's just giving the ball away.
So he opted for a different way of pushing that seemed more brutal.
On the way to advance the ball with his left foot to the right front, Li Ang adjusted his position to ensure the control of the ball first, and then burst out to speed up!
This step of the ball protection adjustment made Gotze's quick blocking plan go straight to naught.
And Leon didn't let the ball out of his control as he sprinted forward.
This trick was what he learned from Kaka at the beginning.
His current dribbling ability value is not high enough, and his dribbling posture is not comparable to Kaka, but he doesn't care, just be practical.
First of all, you must dare to use it, know how to use it, and then talk about whether it looks good or not.
This will be a complete defeat in the confrontation, and Gotze has no way to take this move of Li Ang.
And when Kyle and Grosskreutz both quickly wrapped up Leon, Leon quickly sent the ball close to the ground!
Arbeloa, who started on the right, had little to hesitate about.
Leon helped him contain Kyle's defense, and there was only one Schmelzer left in front of him at the moment, and he had a lot of room to play, so he simply went to the ball first to speed up the speed!
Kyle immediately turned around and teamed up with Schmelzer, who had spread out the defensive area, to contain Arbeloa.
That's what characterizes Dortmund's defence today.
Full participation, the front court failed to grab the ball on the spot, then in the back court decisive package, to buy time for the front court players to return to the defense.
But Arbeloa is not greedy for the ball, seeing that it is almost impossible to go down, he simply knocked the ball back to the feet of Li Ang, who followed up.
Leon glanced at the dense crowd of defenders who would be pouring into his side of Dortmund and did not rush forward to feed the ball.
He withstood Gotze's defensive interference with his back and then inverted the triangle to return the ball to the middle of midfield.
This seems to delay the pass of the counterattack, but in fact it is the last accumulation of Real Madrid's counterattack before the blade is cut!
Alonso, who is slowly advancing, has seen the current situation clearly in the middle.
So when Leon's pass came over, he had already adjusted his pace, and then sent a flat long pass with Lisuo, who didn't stop with his left foot!
The target is either the wing or the Dortmund penalty area!
Previously, the combination of Leon and Arbeloa had caused Dortmund's defence to tilt to the right as a whole.
So at this moment, Alonso's accurate and fast pass was like a sharp sword, straight into the weak side of Dortmund's defense!
And Ronaldo, who has successfully countered offside, is no longer familiar with such moments.
Hold your breath, firmly step forward, and volley sideways after stopping the ball with your chest!
If someone has to ask what are the characteristics of Real Madrid's counter-attack in this period.
Then he can understand by looking at the ball!
Skillful cooperation, the accuracy of the final threat pass, plus the stable finish of the historical level!
Weidenfeller's reaction at this moment was not unpleasant.
He instantly pounced on the near corner of the goal, but Ronaldo's previous shooting action deceived him!
The final shot of the ball is not in the corners of the goal, but in the middle of the goal!
"Leon's ball guard pass?! Alonso's follow-up long pass! Pretty! Cristiano Ronaldo stops the ball and hits the goal——!!! The ball is in——!!! The ball is in! The ball is in! The thirteenth minute of the first half! Real Madrid lead Borussia Dortmund 1-0 at the Westfajel Stadium!
We can see the Real Madrid fans boiling in the live footage! It was definitely a big surprise for them!
Borussia Dortmund suffered a heavy blow, they didn't defend against Real Madrid's quick counter-attack, it was a quick counter-attack in the truest sense of the word! Alonso's long pass and Ronaldo's finish, the cooperation of the two is estimated to have lasted more than three seconds!
Leon's final pass choice was too clever! Gotze didn't put up too convincing performance in this transition between attack and defense, at least in this round, Leon was the more dazzling presence! ”
In his excited commentary, Duan Xuan originally wanted to say that Li Ang's opening performance completely overpowered Gotze.
But in the end, he held back and limited his performance to this one offensive and defensive round.
However, this will make the neutral commentators of other countries less polite and subtle.
Today's commentators and commentators bluntly said that Li Ang no longer needs to prove his excellence.
"That's the absolute pressing performance of the counterpoint, more than the offensive and defensive roles, IMHO, Mariogetze and Leon are not on the same level today."
As soon as this remark came out, the discussion about this match in English football exploded first.
The scope of public opinion is quite wide, especially this kind of comparative public opinion that has already caused heated discussions before the game.
Götze in the field was quite calm, and he didn't worry, but instead helped captain Kyle calm the emotions of his teammates around him.
Klopp also reacted this and made an emergency adjustment, allowing Lewandowski to pull out of Real Madrid's defensive hinterland first.
Rather than allowing Lewandowski to remain in and out of the Real Madrid penalty area, he can't play a pivotal role.
It would be better to let him drop back first and be a stable point of possession at the top of the arc in the middle circle of Real Madrid's half.
With plenty of game clock left, Klopp was surprised by the quality of Real Madrid's defence today, but he didn't think his team had a chance at all.
After the resumption of the game, it was clear that Dortmund had increased the range of their players, and their players were becoming more and more proactive in their struggles.
However, Mourinho did not bask too much in the joy of opening the scoring.
He decisively signaled his disciples to shrink their formation and settle back into their own half.
Dortmund were aggressive in attack after pressing forward, moving the ball quickly and advancing quickly.
But they need space.
Jose Mourinho simply didn't give Klopp that space.
A meat grinder-style defense is exactly what Real Madrid are good at.
As Leon and Essien covered the sweep with all their might, Dortmund's progress came at a difficult cost.
Even if Borussia Dortmund's attacking players can occasionally break through this sweeping hurdle, they will be greeted by the impregnable backline of Alonso and Real Madrid!
Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes!
Dortmund doesn't have a good way to take Real Madrid's defensive system!
And when Gotze tried to break through again and was blocked by Leon head-on, he finally slapped the turf under him in a little anxious!
Leon passed the ball to Essien, who was in front of him, and looked at Gotze and shook his head.
Don't break the defense, brother.
Because I am indeed better than you, it is true, you must admit it!
