Football: What is a mad dog full-back?

Chapter 12

On August 15, the team came to Monchengladbach, which is less than 100 kilometers away.

This is a city with a high greening rate, where prosperity and nature blend perfectly.

People living here enjoy life very much, and there are festivals worth celebrating almost every month...

Today, Andy and his team will challenge the second team of the Bundesliga team Monchengladbach!

In the ranking of the entire western region, Monchengladbach has the strongest paper strength!

Because last season their first team finally rushed to the third place in the league and qualified for the Champions League.

With it came generous sponsorship fees and signings!

So in the second team, there are many first-team substitutes.

The overall staffing is one level better than Dortmund...

At the pre-match press conference, head coach Hans was very low-key.

In fact, it is not high-profile...

Because their games really did not get the attention of the public!

The new season has started, and more people choose to watch the first-team games...

So on the day of the game, there were less than 2,000 spectators...

This is far from the atmosphere of the previous game between Dortmund and Schalke at home!

But Andy can understand and like it.

The last game was an away game, and the attendance was not high.

It is said that the football atmosphere in Europe is strong, but it also depends on the importance of the game.

For regional games like theirs, it is considered good if the attendance reaches half...

The main role is to hone young players and play the role of training for the home team!

For away games, the fewer fans of the home team, the less pressure the away team players will bear.

During the field stage, Andy noticed the opponent's movements.

Compared with the intelligence and tactical lessons before the game, the scene is more intuitive.

The first-team substitutes seem very sophisticated and calm, and they can be distinguished from others after a little observation...

When the game started, Monchengladbach did not fight as expected.

Instead, they shrank their lineup and waited for Dortmund to take the initiative...

This made head coach Hans feel a little frustrated!

In his tactical pre-set, the opponent would always leave the half...

Who would have thought that the stronger team would retreat to advance? !

Under such conditions, Dortmund's ball was intercepted in front of the Monchengladbach penalty area.

Just as Andy was about to return to defense, he was surprised to find that the opponent did not counterattack...

Instead, they continuously transferred in their own half!

As we all know, Dortmund's style is to choose high-position pressing under normal circumstances!

Monchengladbach's behavior of passing in the backcourt is simply playing with fire!

After Andy confirmed that there were no opponent players behind him, he decisively inserted and cooperated with his teammates to press!

...

Suddenly!

He saw the movement of the opponent's center forward through his peripheral vision!

Something is wrong!

At the same time, Monchengladbach passed the ball forward in the backcourt!

The No. 9 center forward retreated to his own half to respond!

At the moment of receiving the ball, he attracted the attention of a circle of Dortmund players around him!

The full-back of Monchengladbach quickly moved forward!

The center forward turned halfway and passed the ball forward!

Mechanical cooperation, without any unnecessary movements!

On the other hand, due to the high-pressure pressing on Dortmund's side, the two sides were like a vast grassland, empty...

What the hell!

It was too late for the Dortmund players to chase back!

Monchengladbach formed an offensive line in front of their penalty area!

When the full-back passed the ball inward...

Two ghosts in the penalty area hit the door!

Goalkeeper Hendrick's two fists were no match for the two heads...

The ball went in!

Most of the Dortmund players who lost the ball looked confused.

The opponent's center forward who was at the front suddenly retreated to respond, which was not expected before the game...

With one more player, the space was infinitely opened, activating the entire counterattack tactics!

This game... I'm afraid it won't end well!

The situation on the field also proved this!

The Dortmund players' pressing was like hitting cotton!

The scene also began to become hot.

Searle, Jonas, and Pulis received three yellow cards in succession!

Monchengladbach only had one...

Dortmund coach Hans paced back and forth on the sidelines, forming a sharp contrast with the appearance of Monchengladbach coach sitting firmly in the coaching seat!

At the high point of the stands, the scouts watching the game sighed in their hearts.

There is indeed a gap between the temporary coach and the coach who has worked his way up from the U16...

Although he is not a professional coach, the tactical difference between the two is very obvious!

On the court, Andy did not stop running or thinking.

In the 30th minute, he began to move his position.

No longer advancing to assist teammates, but moving horizontally and targeting the opponent's center forward!

No. 9 Byron Waters!

It was because he kept retreating to assist that Monchengladbach was able to break through.Bureau!

As expected!

Monchengladbach used the same trick again!

Waters retreated again...

But the next second!

Andy appeared beside him, defending closely!

Waters had no choice but to pass the ball back and wait for the next opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Andy always kept about 2-3 meters away from him...

Not a buddy!

Don't you need to defend your wing?

Waters frowned!

He, who is 191cm tall, formed a great visual impact with Andy, who is 168.5cm tall!

Andy, on the other hand, had to spend more energy to take care of both ends...

But he successfully found the opponent's formation!

Lars, the core of the midfield, also discovered this situation.

He found Priss and Andy respectively when the ball was dead, and redistributed the defensive tasks.

Football has never been a one-man battle!

The sharing of the burden by his teammates allowed Andy to re-engage in the attack...

In the 41st minute, Andy successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt, and then launched a counterattack and passed the ball to his teammates in the middle line.

At this time, Monchengladbach, who had stopped the attack, had 5 players in Dortmund's half!

Domagoj in the middle retreated to receive the ball and passed the ball back again!

Andy passed the ball to his teammate Marvin in the frontcourt without stopping the ball!

The Monchengladbach backcourt players immediately returned to their positions!

Marvin moved the ball into the penalty area and formed a 1V1 with the opponent's central defender...

When the second central defender came to assist in defense...

Marvin took a step forward with his right foot, and at the same time, he exerted force on his calf and knocked his heel hard!

Pass it behind him!

A yellow figure rushed in from outside the penalty area!

The speed was so fast that it made people feel blurred!

Password!

Why is it No. 18 again? !
