Chapter 784: Boxer
Perhaps harassed and influenced by pre-match transfer rumors, the Weststerd, which has always been known for its frenetic atmosphere, gave people a sense of grievance, especially in the stands of the Dortmund Stadium, where many fans played angry slogans against Gotze, as well as many fans who formed invectives, such as traitors, Judas and rats.
Why it's a mouse, Ye Qiu didn't know, but it was definitely not a good word.
Although according to the regulations, Gotze must notify Dortmund before April 30 to pay the release clause, but before facing a strong opponent such as Tottenham Hotspur, Gotze and his agent used the release clause, which is also a very big blow to Dortmund.
On the contrary, although Tottenham Hotspur has the issue of contract renewal for Pirlo and Cavani, Ye Qiu's prestige is too great, and he quickly suppressed Cavani, and the team also announced that it has officially launched contract renewal negotiations with Pirlo, which is obviously a strong proof of the team's efficient operation and has also activated the team's morale.
The morning before the game at the Westster Stadium, when Tottenham Hotspur launched a press conference, Ye Qiu announced the list of players for this game, the goalkeeper is Cech, the backline is Kyle Walker, Thiago Silva, Kompany and Marcelo, the midfielders are Pogba, Pirlo and Vidal, Ramsey is out due to injury, and the front trident is to maintain the combination of Ribery, Cavani and Messi.
A very important reason why Ye Qiu dared to announce the lineup in advance and did not make any adjustments before the game is that he has already thought about how to play with Dortmund, and the Hornets also know very well how they want to play.
To put it bluntly, Klopp only has that set of lineups, and that set of tactics can play with Tottenham Hotspur.
Ye Qiu still continued the style of play against Dortmund in the group stage, and also continued the tactics of the quarterfinals against Real Madrid, continued to keep the team's three lines compact, concentrated on the scramble and pressure in the middle circle, and did not leave too much space behind the opponent to use, and at the same time swung his skillful kick to mobilize the opponent's running.
Dortmund started with a fierce press on Tottenham Hotspur, and Klopp's tactics were clear, which was to press down Tottenham Hotspur from the start, but Dortmund's defense was still very cautious, especially as soon as Tottenham Hotspur got the ball, their players immediately retreated into the 30-metre area in the shortest possible time.
Tottenham Hotspur's attacking desire to move forward did not look very strong, and there was no aggressive attacking tactics after the opening, so the start of the game was a bit dull, while Dortmund used the home team to insist on pressing play, coupled with their active running, so that they had more possession than Tottenham in the first 20 minutes of the first half.
When Ye Qiu saw the number jù handed over by Roland o Shepas, he was really a little funny, because now the possession rate of both sides is 5o. With 49. Although the difference is minimal, the problem is that Dortmund has more possession than Tottenham Hotspur, which is simply unbelievable.
"This group of stinky boys must be playing slacking, give me a roar" Ye Qiu handed over this great and arduous task to Roland o Shepas, Luo Fat Man rushed to the sidelines with a sad face, and shouted a few angry words.
In fact, in the period after the opening, Tottenham Hotspur's defense did quite well, although Dortmund had three chances to shoot from the feet, but none of them shot on target for Tottenham Hotspur, which can also be seen from this point that although Dortmund has a little advantage in possession, it still failed to create a good threat.
Tottenham Hotspur's strategy for this game is actually very simple, I will use a compact formation and possession to slip you, let you press out and play, and then I am hitting you to counterattack, and even if you can't fight back, I can also use possession to achieve the purpose of exhausting the enemy, and when your fitness declines, I will play slowly with you.
In fact, Dortmund likes to meet the kind of high-level defensive possession team, such as Bayern Munich, the meeting of two domestic teams in the Bundesliga often creates a hot atmosphere, and it is very strange that Bayern Munich always loses to Dortmund, the reason is very simple, Dortmund's style of play is to restrain this kind of high-level defense, leaving a large gap behind the team.
So in this game, Ye Qiu gave up the high defense, but insisted on the ball control tactics, and arranged the main battlefield of the two sides to compete more in the middle line, so that Dortmund could come up to play positional battles, and there were not many loopholes behind him, and he could swing his own ball control advantage.
As for the possession in the first 20 minutes, Dortmund had a slight advantage, which is not surprising, because now Dortmund has the body and momentum, and they are desperate to press down Tottenham Hotspur in the opening game, so Tottenham Hotspur was pressed a little tight after the opening, which is also a normal time of possession.
But Tottenham Hotspur is not blindly on the defensive, but always controls the rhythm in a rhythm that Dortmund is not used to, when they get the ball, Tottenham Hotspur consciously spends the tempo, let Dortmund play more offensive positional battles, and then pinch Lewandowski and Gotze these two points to freeze Dortmund's defense.
When Dortmund lost possession, Tottenham Hotspur slowed down the passing rate of the ball and used a skillful and quick touch to encourage Dortmund's players to run more without the ball to grab the ball.
This different change of rhythm caused Tottenham Hotspur to have a low possession rate when Dortmund was full of energy, and Dortmund also consciously wanted to use more of their own runs to disrupt this rhythm of Tottenham Hotspur, and then establish their own rhythm of the game.
Therefore, in the first half hour of this game, although the ball was converted back and forth between each other, the rhythm was relatively fast, and the atmosphere was relatively tense and intense, but in fact, neither side was able to create a good scoring opportunity and threat.
Nevertheless, it is interesting to note that the managers of both sides did not make any changes in the big picture, at best they made local adjustments and targeted arrangements in some details, but they did not make the slightest change in the overall situation.
In fact, this game is for both sides, and they are more familiar with each other, after all, there were two games in the group stage, so the key to this game depends on the strength of the two teams.
If Dortmund can grasp one of the few effective attacking opportunities, maybe the situation of the game will be rewritten, and on the contrary, relatively speaking, Tottenham Hotspur will have more chances, after all, they are stronger and better, so the test is whether Tottenham Hotspur can create chances under Dortmund's pressure.
You know, Dortmund's pressure will generally weaken with the consumption of physical energy, so before the game, many professional analysts said that it is basically difficult to create surprises at the beginning of this game, and the real test will be in the second half, that is, after Dortmund's physical consumption reaches a certain distance, it will improve.
The situation in the first half also seemed to continue the speculation of the outside world, Tottenham Hotspur methodically implemented the team's pre-match plan, while Dortmund lost their rhythm control, and more used active running and pressing to put pressure on Tottenham Hotspur, all of which did not change much.
But just when everyone thought that the first half would be over, Dortmund played an offensive and hit the 30-meter area of Tottenham Hotspur, Schmelzer stepped forward on the left and received the ball in a cross, Tottenham Hotspur returned to the big penalty area, Cavani pushed the ball out of the big box halfway.
After Pirlo stopped the ball on the periphery of the penalty area, he was soon harassed by Sven Bender, but the Italian midfielder quickly stabilized the ball, Dortmund invested troops in the front court to press Pirlo, Lewandowski, Gotze and others were the first to put in the counter-attack, but their backfield was quickly retreating.
Pirlo, Cech, Marcelo, Kompany, Cech, Kyle Walker, Tottenham Hotspur's ball passed back and forth between these players, although Dortmund put four players in the front court, but was stunned to intercept the ball, but after a rush, slowed down the pressing, to go back.
But Tottenham Hotspur was faster, Pirlo made a direct pass to the feet of Pogba near the halfway line, who turned and advanced with the ball forward, and soon pressed to Dortmund's 30-meter area, which was in comparison with Dortmund's front, and Pogba was in front of the 30-meter area, a diagonal pass to the left, and distributed it to Ribery.
Ribery took the ball on the left side, faced Piszczek, a sudden addition, forced from Piszczek's left side, rushed out of a gap, transferred a diagonal pass with his left foot, and hoisted the ball into the back point on the right side of the penalty area, to find Messi.
Messi hooked the ball with his foot and unloaded it very lightly, facing Schmelzer, who was in place in time.
I saw the Argentines striding idly on the spot, but Schmelzer was bent over, as if facing a big enemy, not daring to relax in the slightest, staring at Messi with a pair of eyes, for fear that an Argentine would break through the penalty area from his own position, you know, this is in the big penalty area.
The Dortmund players behind Schmelzer are also very cautious, the two midfielders Sven Bender and Gundogan have returned to the penalty spot in the penalty area, and the timely help of the backline, including Gotze, Lewandowski and others have also actively retreated to the 30-meter area.
Just when Gundogan was afraid that Schmelzer would not be able to hold Messi, and pounced to make a pinch, Messi took it back, and passed a curling ball with his left foot, to find Cavani in the middle, but at this time Hummels and Subotic were very solid in the position, Subotic cleared the ball with a header, and Cavani in the middle of the penalty area could not do anything.
But the ball didn't go far, Vidal cut in from behind, stopped the ball with his chest, and without waiting for Götze to get closer, he split the ball to the right and gave it to Kyle Walker, who rushed forward with the ball quickly, rushed to the right side of the penalty area, and passed it to Messi again.
In front of the Argentine was Hummels, but while Messi stopped the ball, the whole person rushed to the bottom line quickly, forcing Hummels to follow the bottom line to defend Messi, but Messi's short sprint started faster, and soon pulled out a vacant space, and passed a diagonal cross to the front of the small penalty area in front of the bottom line.
I saw that Cavani, who had just been blocked by Hummels, rushed up at this time, almost without much hesitation, and faced the incoming ball with a push, and the ball easily advanced the goal guarded by Weidenfeller
The goal silenced the entire Wester, and even the fans in the stands who had been abusing Gotze since the start of the game became silent at this time, because they all knew very well what the price of being beaten by Tottenham Hotspur was, and they all knew how difficult it was to equalize after being scored.
Tottenham Hotspur players celebrated on the pitch as they rushed to the gathering place of Tottenham Hotspur fans.
In the stands, between the yellow hornets and the white Tottenham Hotspur, the colors are very clear, and you can see the fans of Tottenham Hotspur standing up from their seats in unison, shouting the name of the goalscorer Cavani, and many fans are chanting Messi, because Messi is the biggest contributor to this goal.
Relatively speaking, Cavani's shot is too easy, it belongs to the kind that is countless times more difficult to score than to score, as long as it is a goalscorer, it should be scored, so the real hero of the goal is Messi.
And this goal in the 34th minute was like a bomb, completely detonating the game.
When Dortmund conceded the first goal at home, the Hornets began to attack and press Tottenham Hotspur desperately, hoping to equalize the score in the shortest possible time and bring the two sides back to the same starting line.
But the price paid by Dortmund's pressing and pressing was that the defence behind them became loose and fragile.
In the 42nd minute, after Tottenham Hotspur broke the ball, Thiago Silva's diagonal long pass sent the ball to the right side of Dortmund, and saw Ribery rushing forward quickly, facing Piszczek, he calmly stopped the ball on the left side of the Dortmund penalty area.
Although Dortmund had returned to the defense at this time, especially the two central defenders, who had reached the big penalty area, Ribery to Piszczek, a horizontal cut inside with the ball, left Piszczek behind, cut into the arc of the big penalty area, and hit the goal directly with his right foot when Subotic grabbed it.
The ball crossed an arc and fell into the Borussia Dortmund goal, in the top right corner, which was the goalkeeper's corner
o
"Borussia Dortmund attacked too closely, they pressed too much in the middle of the midfield, so there was a disconnect between the midfield and the backline, Tottenham Hotspur's diagonal long pass hit this point, Ribery received the ball one-on-one, and the ball went in"
"The individual scoring ability is very good, and Tottenham Hotspur has a notch higher than Dortmund's individual ability in addition to the most feared overall tactics, which also makes Tottenham Hotspur very good in both team play and one-on-one."
The live broadcast camera was given to the sidelines, and Ye Qiu, who was excited about the team's goal, was seen doing boxer movements on the sidelines against Luo Fatzi, which immediately made him booed by the Hornets fans in the stands, while Dortmund's head coach Klopp turned his head and pretended not to see it.
"Jurgen Klopp said before the game that we at Borussia Dortmund just like to beat teams on the pitch who are richer than us and better than us, because we are a group of boxers"
The live broadcast commentator laughed and introduced the allusion of Ye Qiu's celebratory action, "Now, Tottenham Hotspur is leading by two goals, and Ye Qiu seems to have won the game, so he used the boxer's celebration to fight back Klopp, which of us is more like a boxer?" ”
"Attacking and defending, playing delicate possession, but also strong impact and power confrontation, Tottenham Hotspur is indeed one of the most well-rounded teams in football today, especially this season with their midfield."
"Perhaps, the only one that has been criticized is Pirlo, the Italian midfielder plays a single back, and the protection of the defense line is indeed a little thin, but Ye Qiu also said in an interview, I don't think this is a shortcoming, because no one has the ability to fight our shortcoming."
"He also joked that it's like you see a beautiful woman on the street, you know she's beautiful, but she doesn't belong to you, and you can only stare and drool on the sidelines, can you?"
"It is indeed very domineering, but Tottenham Hotspur's strength is also very good, which is a good confirmation of Ye Qiu's remarks."
With Tottenham Hotspur scoring the second goal, Dortmund began to lose control, and the Hornets players clearly had a mixed feeling, wanting to attack and equalize, but they were afraid of conceding the goal, and if they retracted to stabilize the defense, they felt unwilling.
I have to admit that Klopp is indeed very good in emphasizing and training the mental will of the players, which makes Dortmund's desire to win very strong, even if they have conceded two goals in a row, this team is still playing very tenacious, just a little messy.
Klopp's biggest problem is precisely that he is too strong and lacks a delicate and soft change.
This is also the biggest criticism of Klopp from the outside world, his offensive routine is too thin, especially when playing positional warfare, he lacks effective offensive means, and relies too much on Lewandowski and Gotze, the two frontcourt offensive points, although Reus is important, but Lewandowski and Gotze are more important, especially Lewandowski.
This player is a good tactical fulcrum in the front court, but more importantly, he runs very actively, covers a wide area, has an excellent sense of teamwork, has a very good skill at his feet, and has excellent ability to fight alone and teamwork, which is why Ye Qiu is so optimistic about this player.
After all, this 24-year-old center forward player, as long as he is cultivated properly, will definitely be able to become the world's top center forward.
For Tottenham Hotspur's frontline, the loss of Edinson Cavani and the introduction of Lewandowski are also quite good options.
