Chapter 669: The Real Dot

No one knows what happened in the visitors' dressing room at half-time except for the Dort players themselves.

Tuchel was in his farewell speech: 'Thank you, gentlemen, for all your hard work over the past two seasons.

I'm so sorry I can't take this team to greater heights because of me.

In the last game we showed the most precious will and inner spirit and we deserved a better result. In today's game, I made a clear error in my judgment and it could have been avoided.

Guys, I hope you'll be fighting for yourselves for the rest of the day! With 45 minutes left, we have the only chance to show the world how strong we really are!

What their number 17 can do, I'm sure you can do too! ”

Tuchel's words allowed Dort's players to completely unload all the pressure and baggage after conceding two goals in a row and falling behind 2-5 on aggregate.

So what appeared on the pitch in the second half can be said to be the real Dortmund.

In the 48th minute, Dembele received a direct pass from his teammates and accelerated continuously on the right side, he first shook Mbappe, and then forced overtaking to squeeze past Mendy to break through to the bottom line on the right side!

Dembele's explosive successive breakthroughs made the Dort fans at Capdale Point, who had been silent for a long time in the first half, excited again -

Kagawa suddenly accelerated and rushed forward, Moutinho, who was following him, did not dare to slack off and immediately pasted it, and Germelson also strode forward to prepare to defend Kagawa.

Dembele sent an inverted triangle cross before the ball was about to go out of the bottom line, Kagawa continued to accelerate forward in the face of Rhemerson's defense, Moutinho desperately used his body to resist Kagawa's turn to defend against the Japanese midfielder, but he didn't expect Kagawa to suddenly step directly and skillfully over the ball!

The fans in the stadium exclaimed, and Kagawa's genius suddenly increased the threat of this attack! Aubameyang, who rushed to the back post, had no time to turn back to respond, and his clever sideways blocked Amamir Toure who desperately wanted to pounce on the middle, and Glick, who had almost retreated to the front of the goal, reacted and flew to the middle -

Li Liang was defending Weigel in front of the arc of the penalty area, and when he turned around and saw this scene, his heart suddenly tightened, and he felt that something was wrong!

The little rocket Reus accelerated violently to get rid of Silva's entanglement, strode to the penalty spot, and half turned around to shoot vigorously against Kagawa's missed ball!

Subabasic was also influenced by Kagawa and chose to block the front point, Reus's burst of fire made him unresponsive, and the ball hung vigorously in the top corner of the goal!

2:1, in the extremely excited shouts of Dort fans, Reus pulled a goal back for Dort, and the total score became 3:5.

Royce rushed to the goal to pick up the ball and roared at his teammates to kick off the ball.

Tuchel shouted with his fists in the air, he and his team had been holding back for too long in the two games against Monaco, and he believed the real Dort was back at this moment!

Yaldim was a little nervous, and Caldeira reminded him: "Don't worry, we are still two goals ahead of them in aggregate!" ”

Looking at the excitement of Dort's players in a completely different state than in the first half, Wenger said: "It looks like the wind is changing?

With half a game to go, it's not impossible for a team like Dort to score goals in a row! ”

Mourinho was explaining to Mendes Dort's attacking tactics and where Monaco's defensive mistakes were: "...... Tuchel looked to have been very successful in the dressing room, but Dort's form came a little late.

You see, now Dort has changed his strategy to defend Lee, which makes it impossible for Monaco to put pressure on Dort in the midfield as they did in the previous half, so that Dort's continued investment in attack will pay off immediately! ”

Pep Guardiola said to Arteta: "I love Marco [Reus's] goal! There is no team in the world that can defend against an attack like this.

Monaco are not a team that is good at defending, it looks like Dort is starting to dominate in midfield, and if they are allowed to play like this all the time, Monaco will definitely be in a dangerous situation! ”

Li Liang knows very well that it is precisely because of Schmelzer's restrictions on himself that Dort can calmly organize attacks in the midfield, and once the four attackers of Reus, Aubameyang, Dembele and Kagawa all find their form, Monaco's back line will definitely be under great pressure!

Schmelzer, who has an overall rating of 79, is faster and stronger, and his unwavering defense makes it a little difficult for Li Liang to catch the ball.

Li Liang was thinking about countermeasures, and he suddenly remembered the contest with Tolisso. The biggest difference was that Schmelzer came off the bench in the second half.

Li Liang immediately had an idea, and he began to intensify his running.

Seeing his opponent trying to get away with a wide range of runs, Schmelzer was confident that he had absolute confidence in his fitness.

Several famous coaches in the stands, scouts and Gaudino were all paying close attention to the contest between Li Liang and Schmelzer, and they all agreed that this would be an excellent reference to test Li Liang's true strength.

In the 54th minute, Dembele quickly cut inside in the face of Mbappe and Mendy's defense on the right side, he flashed Li Liang's tackle, leaned on Bakayoko's pressing forward to send a picky pass, Kagawa appeared again in front of the ball landing, he jumped in front of Moutinho and jumped up with a header to return to the point, and the follow-up Reus did not have time to adjust and shot directly with his right foot in the run, and the ball was successfully saved by the attentive Subaxiac.

The home crowd was anxious, and the Dort fans were getting more and more excited, judging from the situation on the field, Dort's advantage in the midfield was becoming more and more obvious, and it looked like it was getting closer and closer to the next goal.

Schmelzer's confidence grew, and he focused on blocking Li Liang's catch, which brought Monaco's midfield to a virtual standstill.

With ample support from midfield, Dort's threat of attacking the four-man group up front has left Monaco's backline no longer daring to press rashly, and there are signs of a dangerous disconnect between the midfield and the back.

Yaldim had already started to warm up with his substitutes, and he was nervously waiting for the time to adjust.

10 minutes into the second half, Li Liang finally had an intuitive understanding of Schmelzer's characteristics.

Since you can't completely get rid of your opponent for a while, you might as well think differently!

Li Liang no longer obsessed with his teammates asking for the ball, but put all his energy into running without the ball.

Arsene Wenger, Magic Bird and Pep Guardiola saw Li Liang's intentions almost at the same time.

He drove Schmelzer's seemingly aimless run in the midfield area of Dort, but in fact he had a very clear tactical intent!

Li Liang has already noticed that the new opponent does not seem to be fully comfortable with his new position.

When it comes to just one job, Schmelzer is almost impeccable.

But Li Liang sees that Schmelzer is not very good at running and picking positions like an authentic central midfielder or midfielder.

Schmelzer, after all, is a full-back, and it is now difficult to provide more support to the team in midfield other than limiting Li Liang.

Tuchel wanted to use his strengths to limit Li Liang's play, but he didn't expect to expose Schmelzer's weaknesses in front of Li Liang in a short period of time.

In just 10 minutes, Li Liang confidently found the best way to deal with this opponent.
