Chapter 291 Quick Pass and Cut

Simeone's original tactic was to use high press to disrupt Dortmund's offense. This method is very useful against teams that are good at passing and controlling the ball. For example, Atletico Madrid's 1:0 victory over Barcelona fully proved this point.

But Simeone never expected that the high press would not help Atletico Madrid contain Dortmund's offense, but would instead give Dortmund a chance to attack...

Atletico Madrid presses in the frontcourt and continuously invests troops, but the number of people who can play is fixed, only eleven, and only ten can move freely away from the goal.

With more troops invested in the frontcourt, there will naturally be fewer people invested in the backcourt. The stadium is so large that it is impossible to take care of every area, and there will always be some gaps.

At this time, if Dortmund has another person who is good at catching gaps, it is inevitable that alarms will continue to sound behind Atletico Madrid's defense.

After Dortmund stole the ball from Atletico Madrid this time, they quickly launched an attack directed at Atletico Madrid's goal.

They didn't move back and forth in the backcourt looking for opportunities.

The opportunity has arisen, now it’s time to see if we can seize it. The competition at this time is not patience, but speed and accuracy.

Zhou Yi didn't stop the ball and passed the football directly. The one who caught the ball was Royce who retreated.

The tactics used by Dortmund in this game are fast passing and cutting, which requires the speed and accuracy of the passing. Under such requirements, it is unlikely that long balls will fly all over the sky. More often, the team will have to Use short passes to advance.

In order to ensure the speed and accuracy of the pass, the distance between the players cannot be too far. As the distance increases, the accuracy of the pass plummets. Even the best passer cannot escape this rule.

Therefore, this requires Dortmund's players to keep a very close distance and the formation to shrink with Zhou Yi as the center. Everyone has to keep running. The forwards can't stay in front and don't come back, and the defenders can't stop pressing.

Several lines must be kept in contact at all times, so that Dortmund's rapid passing and cutting can be played.

This tactic requires a lot of physical fitness from the players.

Even though Dortmund is known for its good physical fitness, it is difficult for them to last a whole game, let alone at the end of the season when the players have very little physical fitness left.

All early goals are particularly important.

Only by scoring an early goal and converting the advantage into a victory can the pressure on the subsequent team be relieved.

The sooner the goals come the better, the more goals the better.

Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona with three goals in the first 20 minutes and completely stunned Barcelona. Now Dortmund also has three goals waiting for Atletico Madrid.

After Royce catches the ball, because his back is facing the direction of the attack, turning around with the ball wastes time and risks being intercepted. So Royce passed the ball directly back to the full-back Piszczek who had inserted it.

This is why everyone is required to actively move, the forwards need to retreat, and the defenders press forward. Only in this way can the connection be established.

After receiving the pass from Royce, Piszczek quickly moved to the center and gave it to Sven Bender.

Sven Bender immediately sent the football out to Zhou Yi.

All Dortmund players adjusted the football as little as possible and tried to only touch the football twice, once to stop the ball and once to pass the ball.

This is the key training item in these three days of training. Klopp requires players to do this, and if they fail to do so, they will be punished.

Under such devilish training, the passing accuracy and timing of Dortmund players have greatly improved.

In fact, the outside world's guess is correct. How could it be possible to develop any "secret weapon" in three days...

But the premise of this speculation is that this secret weapon was created out of nothing.

But Dortmund players are no strangers to this "secret weapon". This fast passing style of play has been adopted since the team had the "Footbonaut", a small black room.

Dortmund's players began to try to play such football in the game.

Earlier, when Zhou Yi, Mark Wagner and Gotze were in the Dortmund youth team, they had already begun to use quick passes between the three to tear apart the opponent's defense, helping the Dortmund youth team win the youth level championship. .

Therefore, strictly speaking, this tactic is not a "secret weapon". It is not that Dortmund has not used it before, and everyone knows it.

It's just that at this time, many people don't think of this. It only exists in people's blind spots of thinking. In this sense, it is a "secret weapon".

Simeone never expected that Dortmund would use such a set of tactics to deal with him...

※※※

Other Dortmund players will more or less stop the football first and then pass the ball. Being able to touch the ball twice can already meet Klopp's requirements.

But Zhou Yi's standards are different. He doesn't stop the ball and passes the ball directly! One touch is all it takes to send the football away.

Facing the football passed by Sven Bender, Zhou Yi turned his back to the attacking direction, but used the outside instep of his right foot to send the football behind him, to Yan Min who moved closer to the center to receive the ball.

Then Zhou Yi turned around and ran forward.

After entering the midfield area, the person closely marking him was replaced by Gabi.

But Gabi didn't touch the football at all. He was quite happy when he saw Zhou Yi turning his back. He felt that Zhou Yi took the initiative to turn his back to the direction of attack, which made it easier for him to keep a close eye on him.

Who would have thought that even though Zhou Yi had his back to the attacking direction, he could still pass the football forward. At the same time, he blocked himself in front of Gabi, protecting the football very well.

When Gabby saw Zhou Yi turned around, he turned around and continued to defend Zhou Yi. This is the task given to him by Simeone and he must complete it well.

Yan Min passed the football diagonally, and then passed it to Zhou Yi who was advancing.

Gabi is still following Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi did not stop the ball while running, but used the outside instep of his right foot to move the football to the right, giving it to Royce who was adducting.

After passing the ball, he did not stop running, but continued to run forward. At the same time, he made a gesture to ask Royce to pass the football to him. This was an obvious coordination against the wall.

Royce of course got the football back quickly.

Zhou Yi has advanced to the thirty-meter area of ​​Atletico Madrid at this time. The person defending him is not only Gabi, but also Atletico Madrid's center back Godin.

He was originally on his own defensive line. Seeing that Zhou Yi came all the way to him, of course he couldn't turn a blind eye, so when Royce passed the football to Zhou Yi, he also rushed towards Zhou Yi, intending to go one behind the other with Gabi. The double defense brought Dortmund's attack to an end.

Zhou Yi adjusted his pace while running. Facing the rolling football, he raised his right foot and made a move to shoot.

Godin immediately raised his foot and turned around, intending to use his body to block Zhou Yi's shot.

Lifting your feet is to increase the defensive area, and turning is out of the body's instinct to protect yourself - if you don't turn around, it will be uncomfortable if the football hits your face or crotch...

The football rolled over and Zhou Yi swung his feet!

But he missed the football!

Is it a kick? !

No, he missed the ball on purpose!

Zhou Yi waited for the football to pass in front of him before swinging his kick...

He let the ball go, but the speed of the football did not slow down and passed straight to Zhou Yi's left side.

There, Aubameyang moved forward and received the ball!

Because of Zhou Yi's series of passing cooperation with Yan Min and Royce, as well as the momentum of the sudden attack in the middle, it attracted the attention of most Atletico Madrid players.

So when Aubameyang got the ball, they realized - it turns out that Dortmund's killer move is here!

Aubameyang had already entered Atletico Madrid's penalty area when he picked up the ball.

He now has a great shot!

Aubameyang didn't hesitate and shot directly!

Juanfran rushed up to stop Aubameyang's shot. His foot had already stretched out and touched the football.

However, the football did not change its line and fly out of the goal area, but changed its direction slightly and flew towards the lower corner of the goal!

Originally, Aubameyang's shot was headed for the far corner, and Courtois also pounced in the same way, but who would have thought that Juanfran would extend his kick like this...

The football changed direction, and Courtois could do nothing more. He could only watch the football roll into the goal against the near post!

"The goal is in! The goal is in!! Wow! In just three minutes, Dortmund took a one-goal lead! Aubameyang's shot! Dortmund has a perfect start!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly .

The West End Stadium has been very noisy from the beginning of the game, and now it has reached a peak.
