Chapter 170 The Optimal Solution to Breaking the Deadlock
The winter break is about to enter, and the players are all stretching their necks looking forward to rest. Dortmund still has two final games to play, one is the last Europa League group stage match, and this has little to do with Zize , He did not enter the big list, Klopp sent a lineup of substitutes and youth training.
This also ushered in Dortmund's first defeat in the European war this season. Although there is a suspicion of giving away the head, it is also necessary to properly accumulate character. It is indeed a bit of a bad character to qualify unbeaten in the group stage.
Dortmund, who is at home, was scored by Nkufo, and the midfielder Eggert accidentally scored an own goal, but he turned around and scored a goal in the opponent's goal to save face.
In the end, the score was 1:2, and they lost at home, but the fans didn't particularly care about it, after all, they had already secured the first place in the group.
It's just that Zenit St. Petersburg is about to die of depression. They completed a double kill against Cluj, who was at the bottom of the group, but in the end they were overwhelmed by Twente and were eliminated from the group.
Dortmund and Twente joined hands to qualify and entered the knockout round.
This approach has also received criticism from many Russian media fans, who believe that Dortmund and Twente have teamed up to kill Zenit. After all, the format of the group stage is relatively clear. As long as Twente wins, they can sit firmly in the group second position.
And Dortmund can guarantee the first position in the group no matter what the result of the next game is.
Then Dortmund, which is obviously stronger, sent a youth army, which will definitely make the Russians dissatisfied, thinking that the two teams negotiated and jointly eliminated Zenit.
Of course, Dortmund did not collude with Twente. This is Klopp's decision. He hopes that the young players will see the big scene as soon as possible, and he also hopes that the substitute players can find a feeling.
It is of course best to win, and it doesn't matter if you can't win. Anyway, Dortmund has secured the first place in the group.
Next is the last round of the league half, against Freiburg, who is also a newly promoted team this season.
In the words of the German media, the newly promoted players this season are not as surprising as last season.
It should be said that the situation of newly promoted horses this season has become much more normal, and it was abnormal last season.
A half-time champion and a fifth in the league. How can this be the result of two newly promoted horses?
These two results are placed in Dortmund. Schalke 04, a veteran Bundesliga team, seems normal. For example, Dortmund this season, the half-time champion of this season has changed from Hoffenheim to Dortmund, which is much more normal. .
Of course, Bayern is not in the half-time championship position,
Many Bayern fans still feel that it is not normal.
On December 19th, the last round of the Bundesliga's half-time match was in full swing. Dortmund ushered in the last game of the year at home, against Freiburg.
There is an old acquaintance in the Freiburg lineup from the Mainz period. Klopp, Subotic and Zize all know him. He is the Korean full-back Cha Duli.
Qi Ce has a good impression of this Korean who is good at playing football. His father is Bundesliga star Cha Bum-gen, and he is quite concerned about the education of his son Cha Du-ri, who plays football.
Cha Fangen also has a son, and that guy is an idler and ignorant guy. It may be because Cha Fangen feels that he has no talent for playing football, so he doesn't have much discipline.
Of course, Qi Ce was not very impressed with Cha Duli.
He left the team when his contract expired in the season when he was promoted in Mainz. Zize had only been teammates with him for a few games. Subotic and Klopp were more familiar with him.
It is also interesting to say that last season, the Chinese media still talked about the so-called Asian derby between players from European and East Asian countries, but this season almost no voice has been heard.
In the Bundesliga, there are many Japanese and South Korean players. Bochum has Ono Shinji, Freiburg has Che Duli, Wolfsburg has Hasebe Makoto, Dortmund has Kagawa Shinji, and there is only one Chinese player.
It's a pity that Cottbus was relegated last season, otherwise there would be a Shao Jiayi.
And now there is no such thing as an Asian derby, mainly because there are too many Asian derbies in Europe. Chinese fans and the media have become more or less immune to this. This kind of title can no longer attract the interest of fans.
The game still has to be taken seriously.
Dortmund, who has won the half-time championship ahead of schedule, dispatched all the main players in this game. After all, the half-time championship has a prefix, half-time.
In fact, to put it bluntly, this is an unnecessary title.
Except for teams like Hoffenheim, the half-time championship is a miracle. Other powerful players will not be complacent about the half-time championship, but of course, this is still a good thing for the players. They can start the winter with a good mood. rest period.
It's just that it's different to win the half-time championship in advance.
Klopp repeatedly emphasized this in the dressing room before the game. Although he has no such experience, he can imagine it.
It is inevitable that the players will slack off because of the imminent rest and securing the half-time championship in advance. If Dortmund wants to compete for the championship this season, this situation must be avoided.
Freiburg, however, were the first to score in this game.
Cha Duli played a big role in this goal. With his strong body, he even overwhelmed Schmelzer on the wing, and then made a cross. He looked tall and floating, but was caught by the Senegalese high center forward. Idriso hit the goal with a limp header.
Klopp was very angry on the sidelines, waving his hands to express his dissatisfaction with the players.
"Didn't you have enough to eat!" I emphasized many times in the locker room, and I still couldn't concentrate on the court, which made Klopp very angry.
The players cheered up and kicked off again.
Klopp's main anger just now is that the team has not entered the state for a long time.
In Dortmund, the style brought by Klopp is fast, precise and ruthless, but Dortmund was very slow at the kick-off just now. Several passes tried to speed up the pace, but none of them passed to the striker's feet and were cut off.
Freiburg is also full of fighting spirit in this game.
After all, now they also have to fight for relegation and to have a good mood to enter Christmas.
This is the disadvantage of winning the half-time championship in advance. Many Dortmund players are already thinking about how to spend Christmas and where to go to escape the cold in winter. Anyway, no matter how they play in the last round of the half-time, they can guarantee the lead.
Under Klopp's constant shouting, Dortmund finally gradually began to regain their senses, dominated the situation on the field, and formed a siege of Freiburg's goal.
The key is to break the deadlock.
It's not Klopp's style to hang around the goal and not get in. He needs to pose a direct threat to the goal.
Freiburg is not a difficult problem, but it needs a breakthrough. You can't just write a solution on the test paper, and someone has to write out the first step.
This answer question is still Qi Ce!
After taking the lead, Freiburg naturally returned to their own half and began to set up the bus. The German team is not the Dutch team. It is not enough to lead by one point and continue to attack. After leading, defense must be the priority.
This is a test of the ability to break the bus!
Klopp originally thought that he had to rely on Qi Ce's trick to break the deadlock, but this time Qi Ce did not choose a long shot from outside the penalty area, but rushed into the penalty area, and cooperated with Qi Dan to hit the wall. Qi Dan scored the ball, Qi Ce dribbled the ball into the small penalty area and scored with a precise push!
Fans of the visiting team who came from afar were very disappointed.
Less than ten minutes after Freiburg completed the goal, Dortmund woke up. They launched counterattacks again and again, and finally scored in a not so special way.
This kind of game is like this. When the weak team tries their best to overtake the score, this is a good encouragement for their morale, and then defending, it is best to hold the half court, and continue to think of other ways in the second half, but if things go as they imagined It's not the same, the weaker party's anger will be vented.
On the other hand, Dortmund took the momentum and quickly scored the second goal. This goal was scored by Zidan. Shinji Kagawa made a low pass from the left. , but Zidan followed up and scored the goal at a later point, and Dortmund reversed the score!
