The Green Superstar

The major leagues of European football have their own styles and characteristics, and some of the playing styles that are familiar to fans are also deeply rooted.

Like Italy's focus on tactics and good defensive counterattacks, this has been circulating for nearly half a century.

Regardless of the national team level or the club level, every success of the Italian team is almost the same. The defense is solid and the counterattack is fast and sharp. Even if there is a luxurious lineup composed of many stars, the essence of the core has hardly changed.

Tang Hong got into trouble after the start of the match against Naples.

Every time he dribbled forward, no matter whether it was Maggio in the front or Behrami who came to help defending in the middle, none of them took the initiative to grab, and they would keep following defense at an appropriate distance, waiting for Tang Hong to try They will intercept only when the ball changes direction to make a breakthrough, which increases the difficulty of Tang Hong's breakthrough.

Because the opponent is always hitting his back hand, and it is a joint defense and flanking, one person cannot prevent it, so add another insurance.

This is also the defensive characteristic of the Italian team. Unlike Premier League teams, which like close-to-person confrontation and active press, the Italian team prefers frontal defense and first adopts the strategy of delaying the opponent's offensive speed and then combined defense and press.

When this set of defense is brought to the extreme, it is the housekeeping skill of Italy's standing strong forest: chain defense!

Tang Hong was cut outside of the formation of the Dortmund attack group, coupled with the harassment of Callehong from time to time after him, Tang Hong seemed to be in a quagmire.

Dortmund's offensive could not be continued in the first 20 minutes. Because of the lack of positive bursts, placing hopes on Tang Hong may not be effective.

Naples' counterattack was relatively simple but frequent threats.

Had it not been for the steady performance of Hummels and Subotic, who repeatedly intercepted the opponent's threatening ball at key positions in the penalty area, I am afraid that Dortmund had already taken the lead in conceding the ball.

Tang Hong found it difficult to rely on his personal ability to win a local obvious advantage in front of Naples, so he could only take the second place and set offensive screens for his teammates. At the same time, he also changed his mind.

There is no space behind Naples to use when defending frontally. It can’t be said to be whimsical if you want a wonderful pass with speed and a forward penetration. It can’t be said that the team’s tacit understanding and ability requirements are too high, and you need to pass the ball. The timing and the timing of the player's running position are just right, and the passing accuracy and the running line must be perfectly matched!

Maybe this requires a lot of repeated passes and cuts to make it one time.

That's luck.

In order to create better offensive conditions, Tang Hong tried to take the ball quickly after 25 minutes of the game. After the ball, instead of going deep into the penalty area, he was ready to make a counter grab!

Already prepared for the offensive frustration, play a counter-grab advance to disrupt the Naples counterattack organization. Once Dortmund succeeds in the frontcourt counter-grab and then play a fast attack, Naples will have very little time to adjust the defense line and the flaws will be easily exposed. .

Before Dortmund made much threat, the counterattack from Naples was a fatal blow.

In the 35th minute of the game, Hamsik sent a through pass from behind the center circle.

Higuain sent the ball obliquely to the front of Callejon's running position in the middle of the frontcourt, and the latter quickly hopped the ball to the bottom and sent the pass.

The football flew to the left side of the penalty area. After stopping the ball, Insigne adjusted the ball to the center zone and then shot the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!

Weidenfeller has saved to the limit but failed to keep the ball out.

The Dortmund line was too long, and the two central defenders were pinned by Higuain in the penalty area. They did not expect that Callejon's cross was passed to Insigne, who was in the back row.

The Sao Paulo Stadium was full of cheers. As a Naples youth training player, Insigne was loved by local fans, and they even expected him to become the new Maradona!

"Insigne scored a long shot from the penalty zone line! Naples took the lead in breaking the deadlock at home to score!

Dortmund was finally punished for being unable to attack for a long time. Naples threatened to counterattack again and again and finally turned into a goal!

Naples leads Dortmund 1:0!

Will the Bundesliga powerhouses be disadvantaged in the Champions League? "

Klopp looked solemn on the sidelines, and Dortmund's style of play was not effective for everyone. The unpredictable outcome of this kind of defensive counterattack on the court is also within the expected range.

The first goal is very important. If Dortmund scored the goal, then Naples would have to weaken the defense in order to equalize the score. The probability of Dortmund's next goal to defeat the opponent will be very high!

But now it is Naples scoring, Dortmund's situation has not changed much, but it is undoubtedly too difficult to completely reverse the situation, because even if a goal is scored, it will only equalize the score, and Naples can still continue to fight their defensive counterattacks.

After the score was behind, Dortmund immediately increased the pace of the game after kicking off. The attack became simple, but the defensive counter-grab became more fierce!

They almost made Naples mess in the backcourt!

In the 41st minute of the game, when Royce made a right pass from the front and was directly cleared by Britos, Sven Bender immediately passed the ball straight ahead after holding the ball in the center.

Mkhitaryan dribbled the ball horizontally in front of Inle and immediately passed it straight. Lewandowski backed the ball and knocked the ball back diagonally.

Tang Hong followed up and slammed the ball to the ball!

The football was blocked in the penalty area by goalkeeper Reina flying to save, Suniga returned to the penalty area and did not dare to control the ball, because Royce had already made it to the counter.

He tried to clear the ball with a big foot, but the football was not high off the ground and was easily controlled by Gundogan in front of the middle circle.

Jingdogan then sent a direct pass and found Tang Hong who had withdrawn.

Behrami cautiously followed Tang Hong and threw the ball diagonally in the middle. Mkhitaryan followed up with Lewandowski and hit the wall with Lewandowski and took a shot on the right side of the penalty area!

The heavy shot was shot too positive, Reina blocked the ball head-on!

The Naples line of defense is rumbling!

Just as the football flew to the middle zone outside the penalty area, Tang Hong jumped ahead of Yinle in a quick run and stopped the ball from the chest in the air.

In this continuous fast attack of Dortmund and the continuous adjustment of the Naples defense line, a huge flaw appeared in the Naples defense line!

Tang Hong didn't wait for the football to land and immediately passed the ball straight, because Britos was killing him, and Royce was cutting inside the running position.

Tang Hong slid the ball straight to the area behind the opponent.

When Britos turned and looked around, Royce already had the ball on the right rib of the penalty area, and after wading the ball towards the baseline, he made a deep attack and passed the ball across the front area.

Lewandowski followed up with a flying tackle and shoveled the ball into the goal of Naples!

Borussia Dortmund's anti-grab fight made Naples finally collapsed!

"Lewandowski scored with a shovel! Dortmund equalized!

Dortmund's style of play is very aggressive. Even if an attack fails, they will quickly retake the attack and launch a quick attack again in a short period of time. Each time it is more threatening, and each time it is closer to the goal!

When Mkhitaryan's shot was blocked, Tang Hong took the first possession of the ball from outside the penalty area and then sent a threatening ball to make Dortmund's final goal a matter of course. Royce assisted Lewandowski to score!

Naples 1:1 Dortmund. "

Benitez was expressionless, and said in his heart that it was false.

In terms of playing style alone, the most aggressive players in European football are Bayern Munich and Dortmund!

Even La Liga’s Barcelona and Real Madrid can’t compare.

Maybe after Guardiola takes over Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich's offensive aggressiveness will also be downshifted, after all, they have begun to play pass control.

The tactical changes in European football over the years seem to have not affected Italy. The Italian team still guards the skills of their ancestors, but the defensive counterattack has begun after the peak of Inter Milan's achievement in 2010.

Even if Benitez wants to forge ahead in Serie A, some deep-rooted things are hard to shake, so it can't be said to be reborn.

This goal allowed the Dortmund generals to reach a consensus.

It is almost impossible to burst the opponent's line of defense in a static attack.

At this level of the Champions League, unless it encounters a second-tier league champion team that can be partially crushed, the team in the mainstream top league depends on the scene and the situation.

Naples' main defensive counterattack today made Dortmund, who are eager to take all three points, have to fight a tough battle.

To make their defense appear flawed, Dortmund can break the goal, they must suppress their opponents in rhythm and anti-grab pressure!

The first half of the game ended quickly, and the two teams temporarily drew 1:1.

After a short break in midfield, Klopp did not make adjustments to his tactics. Dortmund had already played an all-round advantage in the last 10 minutes of the first half, even if it cost them a high physical price, but this is exactly the past two seasons. The characteristics of Dortmund in the Champions League.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, and Dortmund became more fierce. After a quick kick from the front court, he tried to directly create an offensive threat opportunity. Even if the fight fails, it will quickly launch a counter-attack encirclement and suppression.

Naples was forced to speed up and play more simply and directly in the counterattack.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Higuain received a half-high pass from the wing of Insigne and bypassed defender Hummels, but his mid-range follow-up shot was slightly higher than the crossbar and Naples sighed.

Only 2 minutes later, Dortmund made a fast attack in the front court. Tang Hong hit the wall with the flank and Gundogan who took the initiative to respond. Albiol cleared the pass after the bottom pass, but the football that cleared the siege was defeated by Sven Ben De controlled in the frontcourt, and then Sven Bender sent a diagonal pass to transfer the offensive to the right.

Royce slid the ball inside and sent a wonderful pass to Mkhitaryan who was in the front. The latter entered the penalty area and volleyed the ball. The football went straight to the far corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Reina is unable to save this time!

The football broke into the net, Dortmund completed a 2:1 lead at the St. Paul Stadium!
