Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 145 Don't Break Your Defenses, I'm Really Better Than You 【Subscribe! 】

"Real Madrid's solid defense made the young Dortmund repeatedly frustrated in the opening stage of the game! The fast attack that the Hornet was most proud of in the Bundesliga in the past seems to have lost its sharp momentum.

Lewandowski, the excellent center who was the third best scorer in the Bundesliga last season, seems to be lost in Real Madrid's constant defense!

Without him on the ball, both Gotze and Reus will have to spend more energy than usual to get the chance to attack with the ball in Real Madrid's defensive third zone.

The Polish center needs to play smarter. I don't know how Klopp will remind his disciples at the moment, but they will not have too much time, because Real Madrid's counterattack may pose a threat at any time! "

It is Duan Xuan, who is very familiar with the Bundesliga, who explained this Champions League match today.

As a Bayern fan, Duan Xuan knows very well about Dortmund, which has suppressed Bayern for two years, and it is reasonable.

Speaking of personal ability, the offensive tridents in Dortmund's formation are actually considered top-notch in football.

There are no top players, but Klopp kneaded the three of them together, coupled with the power of his personal tactics, he used the three of them to a level far beyond the first-class offensive combination.

But today he met Mourinho, who has a more vicious vision.

This requires ordinary coaches to do tactical targeting. Most of them will choose to limit Gotze's performance first and suppress Dortmund's offensive engine.

The second is to limit Royce's sideways advancement and suppress Dortmund's offensive changers.

Lewandowski is considered last.

After all, Lewandowski is a standard "center forward", and he does not have a strong personal breakthrough ability.

You expect him to have a flash of inspiration and occasionally play tricks, but if you want him to embroider and shoot inside and outside the penalty area like Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, it is purely embarrassing him.

But for Mourinho, first suppressing Lewandowski's performance at this point will make Dortmund's offense the most uncomfortable.

Because he just wanted Gotze and Royce to lose their "tactical shield".

Without Lewandowski's involvement and retracement to make the ball, Gotze and Royce will not be caught without a fight, but they must face Real Madrid's midfield defense more times!
Mourinho just wants Dortmund's two major attackers to spend a lot of energy hitting Real Madrid's "reinforced concrete wall".

He deployed three defensive midfielders on the field. Li Ang seems to be playing as a central midfielder today, but when defending, he will retreat to the front of the penalty area and face Gotze directly.

With such defensive specifications, Mourinho does not believe that Gotze and Royce can far surpass Robery or the combination of Messi + Sanchez!

He has this defensive confidence, and in fact he is not wrong in his judgment. After sacrificing a certain amount of offensive initiative, Dortmund was completely unable to penetrate Real Madrid's defensive third area at the beginning.

Klopp doesn't like to be conservative, or in other words, when he thinks that his side is not completely at a disadvantage, he will choose to play a very adventurous offense more often.

Mourinho seized on Klopp's small flaw and shrank his fist at the beginning.

And now, it's time to punch out!

Mourinho set his sights on Real Madrid's backcourt, on Li Ang.

And in the No.12 minute of the first half, when Li Ang saw Essien blocked Royce's attempt to cut inside, it was also the first decisive forward sprint!

"Beautiful steal! Real Madrid's counterattack opportunity has come!"

Duan Xuan subconsciously yelled in the studio the moment he saw Li Ang stepping forward!

Essien's diagonal through thrust was very decisive during the fast speed.

Li Ang saw Gotze in front of his eyes and Royce who started to return to defense. He did not choose the simpler way of passing the ball in the past.

Because Gotze's obstruction will waste some of his time chasing the ball, and Royce's speed is unmatched by him now.

This will rush the ball just to pass the ball.

So he chose another method of propulsion, which seemed more brutal.

On the way of leading the ball with his left foot to the front right, Li Ang adjusted his body position to ensure control of the ball first, and then explode to speed up!
The adjustment of this step of protecting the ball made Gotze's quick interception plan directly ruined.

And Li Ang didn't let the ball out of his control when he sprinted forward.

He still learned this trick from Kaka.

His current dribbling ability is not high enough, and this dribbling posture is incomparable to Kaka, but he doesn't care, as long as it is practical.

You have to dare to use it first, know how to use it, and then talk about whether it looks good or not.

Ge Ce, who will be completely defeated in terms of confrontation, has nothing to do with Li Ang's move.

But when both Kyle and Gross Kreutz quickly double-teamed Li Ang, Li Ang quickly sent the ball close to the ground!

Abeloa, who started speeding on the right, had nothing to hesitate.

Li Ang helped him contain Kyle's defense. There was only one Schmelzer in front of him at the moment, and he had a lot of room to play, so he simply stepped on the ball first to speed up his advance!

Kyle turned around immediately, and Schmelzer, who expanded the defensive area, double-teamed Arbeloa again.

This is the characteristic of Dortmund's defense today.

With full participation, if the frontcourt fails to grab the ball on the spot, then decisively double-team in the backcourt to buy time for the frontcourt players to return to defense.

But Abeloa is not greedy for the ball at this time. It is almost impossible now, so he simply knocked the ball back to the feet of Li Ang who was following up.

Li Ang glanced at Dortmund's dense defensive crowd that would flock to his side, and did not rush forward to give the ball.

He withstood Gotze's defensive interference with his back, and then passed the ball back to the middle of the midfield in an inverted triangle.

This seems to delay the counter-attack pass, but in fact it is Real Madrid's last charge before the counter-attack blade cuts off!
Alonso, who is advancing slowly, has seen the current situation clearly in the middle.

So when Li Ang's pass came, he had already adjusted his pace, and then sent a flat and fast long pass with his left foot without stopping the ball!
The goal is not the wing, but Dortmund's restricted area!

Previously, the running cooperation between Li Ang and Arbeloa had caused Dortmund's defense line to tilt to the right as a whole.

So at this moment, Alonso's precise and fast pass is like a sharp sword straight into Dortmund's weak defensive side!
And Ronaldo, who succeeded in anti-offside, is already familiar with such a moment and cannot be more familiar with it.

Hold your breath, push forward resolutely, and volley sideways after stopping the ball in the chest!

If someone has to ask what are the characteristics of Real Madrid's counterattack during this period.

Then he can understand after watching this ball!
Familiar cooperation, the accuracy of the final threat pass, and the stable end of the historical level!

Weidenfeller's reaction at this moment could not be described as unpleasant.

He rushed to the near corner of the goal in an instant, but Ronaldo's previous shooting action deceived him!

The last shooting action of football is not the two corners of the goal, but the middle of the goal!

"Li Ang's pass back?! Alonso's follow-up long pass! Beautiful! Ronaldo stopped the ball and hit the goal-!!! The goal is scored--!!! The goal is scored! The goal is scored! No. 13 minutes in the first half! Real Madrid led Dortmund 1-0 at the Westfalenstadion!
We can see the Real Madrid fans in the live broadcast are boiling!This is definitely a big surprise for them!

Dortmund suffered a heavy blow. They failed to prevent Real Madrid's quick counterattack. This is a real quick counterattack!Alonso's long pass and Ronaldo's end, the cooperation between the two is estimated to not exceed three seconds!

Li Ang's final pass choice was too clever!Gotze did not show a convincing performance in this offensive and defensive transition. At least in this round, Li Ang is a more dazzling existence! "

In his excited commentary, Duan Xuan originally wanted to say that Li Ang's opening performance completely overwhelmed Goce.

But he finally held back and limited his performance to this one offensive and defensive round.

However, the neutral commentators in other countries will not be so polite and reserved.

Today's commentator and guest commentator with British Sky Sports bluntly stated that Li Ang no longer needs to prove his excellence.

"This is the absolute oppressive performance in the matchup, which is more effective than offense and defense. With all due respect, Mario Gotze and Li Ang are not on the same level today."

As soon as this remark came out, discussions about the game in English football exploded first.

The scope of public opinion is quite wide, especially this kind of comparative public opinion that has aroused heated discussions before the game.

Götze on the field was quite calm and not in a hurry. Instead, he helped captain Kyle to calm the emotions of his teammates around him.

Klopp also reacted at this time, and made an emergency adjustment to let Lewandowski pull out Real Madrid's defensive hinterland first.

Instead of letting Lewandowski continue to stay in Real Madrid's penalty area and fail to receive passes, he cannot play a fulcrum role.

It's better to let him retreat first, and use it as a stable ball-holding point in the arc top area of ​​Real Madrid's half court.

There is still a lot of time left in the game. Klopp was surprised by Real Madrid's defensive level today, but he doesn't think his team has no chance at all.

After the game restarted, Dortmund obviously strengthened the pressure of all players, and their players became more active in fighting for positions.

However, Mourinho at this meeting was not overly immersed in the joy of opening the scoring.

He decisively signaled his disciples to shrink their formation and return to their own half.

Dortmund's offensive aggressiveness is very strong, the ball transfer is fast, and the advancement speed is also fast.

But they need space.

Mourinho just didn't give Klopp this space.

Meat grinder defense is exactly what Real Madrid are good at.

When Li Ang and Essien covered the sweep with all their strength, Dortmund had to pay a difficult price for every step forward.

Even if Dortmund's attacking players can occasionally pass this sweeping barrier, they will be greeted by Alonso and Real Madrid's impenetrable defense!
5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes!

Dortmund has no good way to use Real Madrid's defensive system!
And when Goetze tried again and was blocked by Li Ang, he finally slapped the turf under him in a hurry!

Li Ang passed the ball to Essien who was going forward, looked at Gotze and shook his head.

Don't break the defense, brother.

Because I am indeed stronger than you, this is a fact, you have to admit it!
