Barak stood in the middle circle, gritting his teeth, gasping for breath, a bean-sized piece of sweat rolling down his forehead and seeping into his eyes, and immediately reached out to wipe away the sweat from his hands, as if they had just washed through the water.

Although tired, although tired, Ballack still gritted his teeth and supported, because every time he looked at the sidelines, he saw the manager who was not a few years older than him, but he was very kind to him, he seemed to have endless power.

After following Yang Cheng to Kaiserslautern, he clearly felt the pressure on Yang Cheng, but he couldn't help him, so he could only support him with his performance on the field.

But today's opponent was different from all previous opponents, as they were an unbeatably strong Borussia Dortmund, who had barely 20 minutes to open the game and had almost suffocated Kaiserslautern's players one by one.

Everyone doubted that if Dortmund continued like this, Kaiserslautern would collapse sooner or later.

But at this moment, Dortmund's offensive stopped.

"Are they going to gasp?" Barak and Peron looked at each other, a gleam in their eyes.

Anyone who plays football knows that even the best team can't keep bombarding for 90 minutes, because fast-paced offense and defense are the most physically draining, even if it's the side that controls the tempo of the game.

A game is 90 minutes, even if you attack well in the first 45 minutes, but once you attack recklessly, and your physical strength collapses at the end, is it not to let the opponent slaughter?

It is precisely because of this that each team will adopt a combination of fast and slow rhythm to adjust the physical fitness of the players, ensuring that the players can have enough physical support from beginning to end of the game, and the change of fast and slow rhythm can also fully confuse the opponent and achieve the tactical purpose of surprise.

Because of this, Ballack's first reaction when he saw Dortmund's offensive slow down was that they were about to gasp.

Veron and Nedved obviously made the same judgment, and the three midfielders found each other, and they all saw what each other was thinking through eye contact.

In one of Dortmund's attacks, Nedved broke the ball in midfield and immediately handed it to Veron, who moved to the flanks and handed it to Wagner on the left.

The latter immediately drove straight down the left flank, while Ballack, who was playing in the middle, also pressed up.

Marshall followed Yang Cheng's instructions, always pressed the opponent's backline, did not dare to relax for a moment, and now as soon as he saw Wagner find a gap on the left side, he immediately followed the retreating Dortmund defense to press.

Wagner played a pass into the middle of the left corner of the box, and Marshall pressed with Coral in the box, but the latter got stuck in time to shovel the ball out of the box, and Ballack, who was cut in the back row, fired a furious shot at the oncoming ball.

The shot was slightly wide, but it also shocked Dortmund in a cold sweat.

"Kaiserslautern had their first shot of the game in the 21st minute, a powerful long-range shot from the edge of the box by youngster Michael Ballack couldn't hold the ball down and went just wide!"

'It was a very unfortunate opportunity, Kaiserslautern was quick and prepared on the counter-attack, Wagner found a chance on the left and cut forward, which was obviously a bit unexpected for Dortmund, and Michael Ballack was very resolute from distance, but unfortunately he couldn't get on the scoresheet!'

After playing the first shot, Kaiserslautern somewhat reversed the decline, appeared to be very active on the field, especially in the midfield, actively pressed, took advantage of the gap of Dortmund's offensive to gradually stop, grasped the situation on the field very well, organized wave after wave of counterattack offensive, although failed to score, but also played Kaiserslautern momentum.

Seeing that the team's momentum has improved, Yang Cheng on the sidelines looked frowning.

"That's not right! Dortmund won't shrink back so easily! Yang Cheng felt that this was very unreasonable.

Especially when he looked at Heathfield not far away, the iron-blooded head was still unmoved by the situation on the field, and still looked at the court for a long time, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

"It's been less than half an hour since the opening, and Dortmund can't relax now, unless it's ......" Paul Baier didn't notice it at first, but after listening to Yang Cheng's words, after a little analysis, he immediately frowned.

"They are deliberately retracting, tempting us to press out and fight!" Yang Cheng said fiercely.

"That's bad!" Paul Beyer was shocked.

Yang Cheng was also a little panicked in his heart, the reason why he expected it earlier than everyone was because he knew that Dortmund in his previous life should have won the Champions League this season, and the summer reinforcements have greatly improved the strength of this team, coupled with Heathfield's character, it is absolutely impossible for them to relax at the beginning.

Unless this is a strategy, a strategy that wants to lure the snake out of the hole after seeing the whole Kaiserslautern team desperately resist and can't attack for a long time!

"Ivan!" Yang Cheng looked at the field and found that Nedved, Ballack and Veron were all pressing, Wagner and Fritz were also frequently stepping forward to look for opportunities, and there was only one Gattuso in the midfield who was not assigned the offensive task, and he knew that something was wrong.

Gattuso looked over and saw that Yang Cheng kept making gestures to him to pay attention to the retreat, especially when he saw Yang Cheng so excited and nervous, he was shocked, and looked forward, and found that the Kaiserslautern players who were originally attacking in front of him suddenly retreated like a tide, but at the front were the players wearing Dortmund jerseys.

"It's Andy Muller, a counter-attack after a half-time break!" Even the commentators screamed.

The situation on the field was a twist and turn, which caused the fans in the stands in the stadium to be shocked.

"Kaiserslautern is terrible, Andy Muller's counterattack is fast, Ricken and the two strikers on the right are pressing, Dortmund's defensive counterattack is Heathfield's winning weapon, just look at the current situation, you can know that it easily created a 4-on-4 situation."

Yang Cheng watched in horror on the sidelines, but he knew Andy Muller's ability, and then looked at Dortmund's counterattack, and his heart was ruthless, "Kill him, Ivan!" ”

Gattuso didn't know if he had heard Yang Cheng's words, or if he could only rely on his instincts to act on this rapidly changing court, and he suddenly stabilized his body in the rapid retreat, and took the initiative to stick to Andy Muller.

However, Andy Muller is a European star and seems to have anticipated Gattuso's decision and distributed the ball to the right flank before he got close.

The ball was well distributed, and Rickon, who was quickly inserted on the right side, stepped into the box once he touched the ball at the edge of the box, and Bremer immediately got close to him, using his experience to block his angle and prevent him from leaning towards the goal.

Ricken's technique is very good, and he dribbles the ball quickly and changes backwards continuously, and he can't shake off the experienced Bremer, so he can only pass diagonally to the middle of the penalty area along the baseline.

Kyle kept an eye on Chap Issat, and saw Riddle nearby, he was hesitant to step forward, especially when he saw Andy Muller scrambling to the box, and knew that if he stepped forward at this time, there would be no one behind him to guard the two strikers, in case the time came......
