The players were very busy, and the ball was played.

"Ah! Ah! It's Akanji again!"

"How can he pass the ball so casually in the backcourt!"

"This is equivalent to giving the opponent a ball directly!"

"It's a commonplace problem!"

"Although it's understandable that the players are in poor condition after a winter break, this attitude is definitely not okay!"

"Even if he kicks the ball forward from the backcourt!"

Zhan Jun couldn't help shaking his head as he watched Akanji, who had become an undercover agent again on the field.

"Hey, don't panic. After all, he just came back from the winter break, so it's understandable that he's in poor condition."

"And there's still time. I believe that with Dortmund's powerful firepower, it's only a matter of seconds to equalize and overtake!"

Coach Zhang was not panicked at all.

After all, Dortmund has weathered all the storms before, and now they are only one goal behind Frankfurt.

"Although everyone knows Dortmund's offensive firepower, I still think Dortmund's current attitude is not acceptable!"

"For a team that wants to win the league, it should seize the opportunity to score when facing a team that is relatively weaker than itself, rather than choosing to underestimate the opponent like Dortmund's current state on the field!"

"After all, in a long league, the most important thing is to get the points you should get!"

"Then strive to get the relatively difficult points!"

"This is the right way for a team to win the league!"

"You should know that Dortmund had such a situation at the beginning of the season. Fortunately, Dortmund survived at that time."

"But now the league is more than halfway through, and Dortmund is still one point behind Bayern after winning the derby!"

"Dortmund should cheer up at this time! Instead of continuing to underestimate the enemy like at the beginning of the season!"

Sun Jihai also criticized the attitude of Dortmund players on the field.

"That's right!"

"This is not just a question of the players' condition on the field, but a question of attitude!"

"As the old saying goes, the ball is round! Anything is possible!"

"You should try your best to fight any opponent! Even a lion will fight a rabbit with all its strength!"

"There are many cases of the weak defeating the strong in football history! Just like the Greek myths of the past!"

Zhan Jun also agreed with Sun Jihai's statement, and then continued.

"Back on the field, the winter break still had some impact on the players, but obviously the opponent Frankfurt players overcame it very well and got into the state as soon as possible!"

"Against Dortmund, they also adopted a more oppressive high-pressure pressing, which eventually led to Akanji's passing error in the backcourt, giving the opponent a great opportunity."

"I think Dortmund should try to avoid this kind of ball! Although Dortmund is stronger than Frankfurt, after all, anything can happen on the football field!"

"And based on the performance in the first half so far, if Dortmund's players can't get into a good game state as soon as possible, I think it will be difficult for Dortmund to equalize in this game!"

...

Back on the field.

Restart!

Dortmund has the ball!

Obviously after losing the ball, Dortmund's defense line also focused a lot!

After all, this kind of ball is purely a mistake in the backcourt, and as the main person responsible for losing the ball, Akanji is the one who corrected his attitude the fastest.

You know, at the beginning of the season, he was the slowest to get into the state every time, and he had been severely educated by head coach Marco Rose several times.

Now he has stepped up to be the team's undercover, and naturally he wants to try his best to save the situation.

But after all, during the winter break of more than a month, Dortmund's players have indulged themselves.

Before the winter break, they fought hard to beat Bayern and AC Milan!

While winning the German national derby, they successfully broke out of the death group of the Champions League. This must be a good reward for themselves during the winter break.

So the number of times Dortmund's players have trained in more than a month has been few and far between.

Except for Lin Jie, of course.

Because Lin Jie found that even during the winter break, weekly training can still gain experience!

So he did not stop his training this month, and he was actively improving his abilities!

You know, he is going to fight the colonel in February!

If he doesn't improve himself, he will still feel a little weak when facing one of the strongest men this week.

All this

This also makes Lin Jie the best player in Dortmund.

The other players only participated in a training camp after the holiday, which is obviously not enough.

And Frankfurt's research on Dortmund is also quite thorough!

As the opponent of the opening game, a direct loss of 1:5 is a bit of a blow to Frankfurt players.

So they are well prepared for this game!

Some of Dortmund's more commonly used offensive routines have also been studied by them!

Several targeted defenses are quite effective, especially in the restriction of center forward Haaland.

On the contrary, for the restriction of Lin Jie, Frankfurt's head coach Oliver Glasner adopted a different tactic this time!

Compared with AC Milan's previous direct dispatch of two players to strangle Lin Jie, this time Frankfurt put more defensive attention on other players of Dortmund.

After all, although Lin Jie showed a very good competitive state during the season.

But as a midfielder, his personal finishing ability is actually relatively limited!

He can't tear Frankfurt's defense like Reus did!

Lin Jie showed more finishing ability in long shots and free kicks!

The rest are reflected in the passing ability!

The terrifying vision and accurate long passes are where Lin Jie is more threatening.

So Oliver Glasner directly grasped this point!

No longer restricting Lin Jie's long passes, but focusing on the defensive point where Dortmund receives the ball!

You must know that Frankfurt is already leading by one goal, and it is more able to invest on the defensive end.

In addition, several players of Dortmund at the end point are not in good condition!

This has led to Dortmund's delay in opening the situation on the offensive end!

Due to the score behind, Dortmund also wants to equalize the score as soon as possible, and the lineup is relatively deep.

Dortmund also relies on the continuous passing of the frontcourt to find Frankfurt's defensive loopholes.

In the 26th minute of the game!

As a substitute player, Malen got the chance to start when Brandt was injured.

Now that Brandt is about to return, he is also very anxious to show himself and wants to stay in the starting lineup as much as possible.

He wants to be the explosive point on the field for Dortmund!

But unfortunately, Malen is still a little too young and lacks experience in major competitions.

He wants to show himself too much and his vision is not as good as Brandt, which leads to him dribbling too deep and being intercepted by Frankfurt players!

Then Frankfurt also played a very smooth counterattack!

At this time, the problem of Dortmund's lineup pressing too deep was exposed!

Frankfurt has obviously studied the tactics of counterattacks, and several key forward passing points have been run by players for a long time!

Instantly, Frankfurt striker Rafael Santos Boré got another chance to score alone.

Not surprisingly, Dortmund fell behind by two goals away from home!

In the 27th minute of the game, Frankfurt's counterattack expanded the score to 2:0!
