Chapter 117: Increasing the Difficulty

Tough!

After speeding up the pace of attack, the only thing the Hornets felt was the above two words.

The field of play is changing rapidly, and many feelings will pass by in a flash. But this real sense of-for-tat will not deceive people.

Kaiserslautern were solid defensively and skilful at interlinking, and there were only two ways to break the balance.

The first one is relatively simple.

Continue to maintain high pressure, use the high-tempo offense and defense of the whole court to drag down the opponent's physical fitness, and finally reap the fruits of victory.

The second is more adventurous.

Use your personal abilities to form an advantage locally. Whether it is a personal breakthrough or tacit cooperation, as long as you can gain an overwhelming advantage in the confrontation, opportunities will naturally come from it. Too many times, and it becomes a matter of time before you score a goal.

Heathfield and his disciples didn't want to end up in a 0-0 first half in front of more than 80,000 home stadium spectators. Therefore, the first article should be resolutely implemented, and there is no need to expect it.

The second one doesn't sound like anything at first glance, and the layman may still be suspicious.

Where's the reason for the adventure?

In high-level games, the players are very particular about the cooperation in defense. One ring is not messy, and the ring is tightly linked. In this case, even if the ball can be passed into the small penalty area, the person who holds the ball will find that there is no possibility of scoring with his feet at all!

That's where the defensive system comes in.

Even if you go up, there will be protection behind you, and even if the opponent's pass is extremely accurate, there will be a solid frontal defense to contain the threat.

The Bundesliga team does not have the delicate footwork of the South Americans, and the cooperation with each other is a little rough, and it is obviously difficult to expect them to tear apart the opponent's defense with a mercury-like pass in a small space.

In this case, the individual breaks through and splits the ball or shoots on goal. It has become an important means to break the situation.

If you want to make a personal breakthrough, you have to create a suitable one-on-one opportunity, and do not hesitate when the opportunity comes, so as to amplify the possibility and effect of the breakthrough, so as not to fall into the opponent's crowd tactics again and again.

Adventure is undoubtedly revealed under this choice!

There is no one with a heart. Will be timid when one-on-one!

Ordinary people don't, and even less the old guys in Kaiserslautern!

Not only not, but their choice is even more-for-tat!

Fight the body, come! Fight the frequency under the foot, no matter what, backward is! Spell up fancy action, shovel!

Heathfield did not want such a game to become a Ruhr derby, so they frequently used individual breakthroughs to create a threat. It's an adventurous move.

It's a pity that he has no choice!

From team to individual, Dortmund tossed it all over again.

As a result, after a goalless first half, they were only rewarded with three yellow cards, six fouls, 11 shots on goal and five on target. 4 corners, 3 individual breakaways.

Their opponents scored as follows: 4 yellow cards. 9 fouls, 4 shots on goal, 2 on target, no corners, 1 individual breakaway.

After deducting the friendly content of the first 20 minutes of the game, the smell of gunpowder is faintly heard for the second 25 minutes!

Such a first half. There was no need for either side to adjust their tactics.

Borussia Dortmund is no way back, Kaiserslautern is not yet at the right time.

For Bumblebee, abandoning calm and patient teamwork and using more passionate individual ability to solve opponents is a proven path in practice. It's impossible to turn back halfway through!

For the Bundesliga Red Devils, such a first half was entirely a result of strategic purposes, and they should not be replaced by self-demoralizing when the veterans still have the physique to fight.

Fifteen minutes later, the two sides met in the players' aisle.

"Hey, you're going to be suspended for the next game!" Latchinho looked up at the ceiling and turned his head to fuss.

"Do you remember that?" You Mo spread his hands, helpless against the Brazilian.

"What about me?" Barak looked nervous and looked over.

"What am I remembering you?" Latchenho winked triumphantly and turned his head away.

As a result, I turned my head and saw Andres Müller's stern face.

"Man, don't be so strained, it will affect the atmosphere too much. By the way, why do the Germans have a bunch of guys called 'Müller'? ”

The Brazilian's triumphant tone ignited a wave of scolding.

", you Brazilian actor!"

"What's the name, it's not what you, a defeated general, should care about!"

"Arrogant fellow, crawl back from Westfalen!"

The shouting did not elicit a strong response, except for the incessant shouting of Rachinho, the others did not overreact.

Barak furrowed his brow and prepared to respond, when Yumo grabbed his shoulder.

"Deliberately, Brazilian."

The bumblebees who were about to march into the 120s, in a state of obvious gunpowder smell, quickly moved closer to the 90s.

It's been 15 minutes since the start of the second half, and the scene is even worse than the second half of the first half!

I don't know if it's the anger left over from the first half, or the little trick of Rachinho in the aisle. Dortmund's original few tactical plans quickly vanished.

Getting the ball, breaking through, fouling, the rhythm of the trilogy, is played out on the court repeatedly. It's just that there is no exact answer as to whether the attacker or the defender will ultimately foul the foul.

Heathfield, who was standing upright in the substitution area, finally understood.

Thoroughly, fooled!

I thought that I could defeat the opponent by abandoning calm and patience and using a fast-paced attack and defense like a boiling blood, but as a result, my disciples were enraged by the opponent's tough way of taking advantage of the situation, and went further and further on the road of gunpowder.

Now, there is no way back!

He can now make it abundantly clear that this qiē must have been intentional on the part of Rehhagel.

But what's the use of being clear?

Patience and calmness do not necessarily mean that they cannot create opportunities, and with a clear mind, even if there is no good opportunity, they can quickly seize it when the opponent makes a mistake.

The smell of gunpowder does not mean that the game is out of control, but the smell of gunpowder deliberately created by a calm opponent is obviously more unfavorable to your side!

From the second half to 25 minutes to the first 15 minutes of the second half, for a full 40 minutes, the whistle sounded frequently. The constantly suspended games and the yellow cards flying all over the sky are making them anxious to kick the opponent into the goal.

On the other hand, the opponent created the smell of gunpowder, but he was still able to keep a cool head. The guy who has already taken the cards will definitely not mess around, and the dangerous place in the penalty area will definitely not tease the referee's nerves, obviously having the opportunity to counterattack, but still not rushing to press and create a threat.

What does all this mean?

The initiative of the game is firmly in the hands of the opponent!

As soon as the 60 minutes passed, both sides began to make substitutions.

Dortmund's adjustments are not only substitutions, but also tactical. In Heathfield's view, it is no longer realistic to hope that the opponent's fitness will be dragged down when the initiative of the game is controlled by the opponent. Seize the time to provide fresh blood on the field and continue to push the game in the direction of individual ability. Forcing an opponent who has already received six yellow cards to make a mistake is the right way to solve the problem.

Breakthroughs are OK, but they don't have to be a threat!

The same is true for Kaiserslautern.

It's just that replacing Lu Wei and Kuka at the same time, replacing Sforza and Klistov, is obviously blowing the horn of counterattack!

"Heathfield doesn't seem to be happy with the team's performance."

"Of course. Although in terms of rankings, Kaiserslautern is two places above them. But if you really want to look at the comparison of the strength of the two sides, probably no one can be optimistic about the top team. ”

"Yes. Against a team higher than his own, Kaiserslautern so far. It's all about a tactical strategy to maintain the balance of the game. Therefore, how to crack this tactic has become the key point of the game! ”

"The bumblebees didn't do very well this one."

"Well, it's a bit unexpected. Dortmund was very calm at first, and the communication between them was relatively smooth. But. As the game progressed, the scene became dull, and the opponent's crowd tactics worked, they began to get anxious and pinned their hopes more on individual ability. ”

"Nope. They were lured by their opponents and made mistakes! ”

"Huh?"

After confirming Kaiserslautern's starting line-up, Heathfield changed their strategy and wanted to improve the tempo of the attack and defense to drag down the fitness of the old guys and force the opponent to make mistakes. However, doing this before the halfway point of the first half will inevitably bring a lot of unknown! ”

"Oh, no wonder in this more than half an hour of the game, the two sides acted like enemies meeting, with fierce actions and frequent fouls."

"Yes, Kaiserslautern is very tough in the face of his opponent's one-on-one breakthrough, which makes the guys who are bent on figuring out this way to open the situation anxious, and the conflict is inevitable!"

"In your opinion, how should Kaiserslautern's tactical strategy be cracked?"

"Let me ask you a question first, what do you think is the purpose of this tactical strategy? Do you take a point away from home? ”

"No, they're at the top of the table and there's no reason not to win against any opponent. Even if the opponent is last season's European champion! ”

The answer is already on the horizon. As with the substitutions on the field, we can clearly see that Kaiserslautern was not at all intimidated by the strength of the opponent, and their purpose was to start from the pre-match preparation until now, and nothing has changed, which is to win and take away the three points! ”

"Understood. With Dortmund's staffing, even if they do not take the initiative to improve the pace of the game and do not rely on individual ability to solve problems, the balance of the game is still biased in favor of the home team. ”

"Yes, Heathfield and his disciples failed to stick to the tactical strategy they had at the beginning, they made a mistake."

"Well, if you want to crack Kaiserslautern's tactics, you have to recognize their strategic purpose first, and it's a pity that their opponents couldn't calm down in this game. If you start to pick up the tempo in the last 30 minutes of the game and use the opponent's physical disadvantage to amplify your individual strengths, the balance of the game will still be in favour of the home team. ”

"That's right! As soon as this game came up, Dortmund did not underestimate the opponent, but unfortunately, the opponent took the initiative to lower the table he pursued and successfully deceived everyone! ”

"Show the enemy weakness and lure the enemy to advance?"

"Yes. This Kaiserslautern team is often terrifying when facing weak teams. But if you look closely, you will find that they are training their teams in the Tongguò competition. Even when they can win with familiar means, they still adopt risky tactics and strategies, with the aim of improving the team's competitiveness in all aspects! ”

"When facing strong teams, their maturity is outrageous!"

"Got it! Why are they at the top of the Bundesliga this season, which is so competitive? ”

"Understood. In the face of the weak team, lower the posture and artificially increase the difficulty, creating the illusion that the strength of the two sides is close, and inducing everyone's impression. In the face of a strong enemy, continue to lower your profile, lure your opponent to make mistakes, seize the opportunity, and win the opponent in one fell swoop! ”

"The two opponents they failed to win, Stuttgart and Schalke 04, are actually more worthy of reference from later opponents!"

"When you say that, will it give ideas to future managers?"

"Haha, Rehhagel shouldn't be worried about me helping him increase the difficulty!" (To be continued......)
