Chapter 127 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, but the Oriole Follows Behind
Although Zhou Yi and Neuer both showed goodwill and warmth when they were in Bad Stuber, that does not mean that the two teams will give up their competition and shake hands to make peace. If that were the case, it would be an insult to the injured Badstuber, because Badstuber also wanted to pursue victory and would go all out in the game, resulting in an accidental injury.
If everyone stops fighting because of this, wouldn't Badstuber hurt himself in vain?
Killing him while he's sick may not sound nice, but it's a tactic. Klopp will not avoid this place just because it is the weakness of Bayern Munich's defense, just to show some gentlemanly demeanor.
When a player is injured, it is sportsmanship to actively give up offensive opportunities. However, after the injured player is replaced, he actively gives up offensive opportunities and waits for the opponent to finish running in. That is not sportsmanship, that is mental illness, and a lack of mental strength.
If this matter happened to Dortmund, Bayern Munich head coach Heynckes would not be so stupid. He would definitely make full use of this to make a big fuss.
So after the game restarted, Dortmund ran towards Boateng as long as they got the ball to attack. They also significantly increased their offensive intensity. During this period, the goal guarded by Neuer was indeed full of dangers, which made the Bayern Munich fans very nervous.
Zhou Yi made a pass from the front of the penalty area. The football had already passed over Boateng's head, but it was cleared by Gotze who actively returned to defense.
If Gotze had missed this kick, Lewandowski would have been waiting in front...
After Gotze made a successful save, there was a burst of exclamation in the stands.
A minute later, Dortmund made a comeback. Another central defender, Dante, committed a handball foul, which not only earned him a yellow card, but also gave Dortmund a chance to take a free kick.
While the Bayern Munich players were still waiting to line up against the wall, Zhou Yi, who had just placed the football, suddenly made another pass. The football went over the heads of the stunned Bayern Munich players and flew into the penalty area.
Dortmund center back Hummels was prepared for Zhou Yi's sudden free kick. He successfully countered offside by pushing forward, and then shot the football towards the goal with a kick in the penalty area!
Fortunately, Neuer, who was directing the wall in front of the goal, reacted quickly. When he saw Zhou Yi's quick free kick, he immediately took precautions. Facing Hummels' kick, he reacted quickly and lifted the football out. Bottom line, let Bayern Munich escape!
Dortmund threatened Bayern Munich's goal several times in a short period of time. Seeing the constant noise in the Allianz Arena,
Bayern Munich fans kept screaming, while Dortmund fans cheered.
Dortmund then had several more attacks, which also threatened the goal guarded by Neuer. Once again, Neuer even let Neuer save the ball. Mark almost got a chance to score.
After Boateng came on the field, he did have problems with the lack of tacit understanding and rhythm with other defenders. This is also the reason why Bayern Munich has been so passive during this period. During one of Dortmund's attacks, when Mark passed the football into the penalty area, Gotze was even unmarked and headed the ball towards the goal. Fortunately, Neuer was in a good position and directly grabbed the football. This also fully illustrates the problems that Bayern Munich has in defense.
The tempo of the game suddenly became faster, and Dortmund obviously wanted to seize this opportunity to break the deadlock.
Faced with Klopp's adjustment, Heynckes also quickly made countermeasures. He asked the players to solidly defend first and then wait for opportunities to counterattack.
Ten minutes after Badstuber was injured and went off, Bayern Munich got a chance to counterattack. Lahm got the ball in the backcourt and passed the ball directly to the front with a long pass without going through the midfield transition.
Muller crossed diagonally into the penalty area and stopped the football before Piszczek. However, with his back to the attacking direction, he could not directly threaten Dortmund's goal, so he immediately passed the football back to Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos inserted in behind.
After receiving the ball, Kroos made a fake move to shoot directly from a long distance, which deceived Dortmund defender Hummels into a tackle, but he dunked the football over the fallen Hummels. Facing Subotic's close pressing, he decisively took a shot!
The football flew close to the turf towards the far corner. Goalkeeper Weidenfeller, who was moving towards the near corner, was beyond his reach. Although he made a save, he failed to touch the football. He could only watch the football almost grazing the goalpost. Got the goal!
The one who scored first turned out to be Bayern Munich who was forced to make substitutions!
When the ball hit the net, the Allianz Arena was like an explosion. All Bayern Munich fans jumped up from their seats and shouted with real arms.
"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!! Toni Kroos! Kroos!!! This is his sixth league goal this season! His condition is so good this season!" Marcel Leif was also very excited, so high There was only one goal left to level up the game, and now the goal was finally born! "Classic counterattack! Bayern Munich seized the opportunity and they took the lead at home!"
※※※
After Kroos scored, Heynckes rushed onto the court, pumping his fists vigorously, his white hair messy in the wind. After losing to Dortmund last season, the old coach is also under tremendous pressure. Being able to defeat Dortmund and return Bayern Munich to the Bundesliga throne is the last wish of the old coach in his coaching career. This time he plays Dortmund at home. He regarded it as a game where Bayern Munich got rid of their inner demons.
That's why he was so excited.
Klopp was biting his lower lip next door. Unexpectedly, he asked the team to strengthen the attack, but was caught and exploited by Heynckes...
The responsibility for conceding the ball is of course his.
There is no doubt that he has taken some risks. Originally, a draw in the away game was completely acceptable, but now because of overthinking, the draw has turned into a lag.
What to do next?
Klopp was lost in thought.
※※※
After the goal, the morale of the Bayern Munich team was high. Next, they continued to attack Dortmund's goal, launching wave after wave of attacks towards the goal guarded by Weidenfeller. The surging offensive almost destroyed the Dortmund goal. As if submerged.
During this period, Dortmund could only struggle to support itself.
Don't even think about counterattacks. It would be nice if you can stop conceding the ball.
After Ram intercepted Mark's ball in the backcourt, he advanced all the way at high speed without passing the ball to anyone. He dribbled the ball to the edge of Dortmund's penalty area by himself, as if he was in no one's land, and Dortmund's defense seemed Very embarrassed.
"Ram! Nice breakthrough!"
Marcel Leif's exclamations were almost swallowed up by the cheers of Bayern Munich fans in the stands...
After rushing to the edge of the penalty area, Lahm passed the football sideways to Ribery. As a result, Ribery's shot in the penalty area fired an anti-aircraft cannon, which made everyone excited in vain - everyone originally thought that Bayern Munich's third Two balls are coming...
"Ah, Ribery!" Marcel Leif shouted in disappointment. "This kick is substandard!"
Two minutes later, Bayern Munich's offensive came back. Muller received a pass from Mandzukic in the penalty area, rushed forward with the ball, and then fired angrily. Faced with this shot, Subotic used the method of "sacrifice to block the eyeball" and blocked the football with his chest.
After going to shoot, he seemed to be distracted by the kick and lay on the ground in the penalty area without getting up. At this time, Bayern Munich player Kroos, who had regained the ball and was preparing to organize an attack, saw this and kicked the football out of the sideline. This was a kind response to Zhou Yi's previous expression of goodwill when Badstuber was injured.
Dortmund's team doctor came on the scene to check and give some simple treatment. Subotic stood up again, holding his heart, and then signaled that he was fine and could continue to play without being replaced.
With Bad Stuber's injury as a turning point, the game officially entered a fierce stage.
Although Bayern Munich has a one-goal lead, they are by no means satisfied with winning just one goal at their home court. They have lost five consecutive games to Dortmund in official matches, and only defeated their opponent 1:0 at their home court. Why? Can this shame be washed away?
Faced with Bayern Munich's aggressive offensive, Klopp did not choose to shrink his defense. He seemed to be aroused. His strategy was to continue to strengthen the offensive and confront Bayern Munich head-on!
In the 74th minute, after Gundogan stole the ball in the frontcourt, he passed the football to Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi made a through ball. Gundogan fell in the penalty area and did not touch the football while advancing forward. Dortmund missed it. A chance to score.
Then Klopp replaced Gundogan and asked Royce to play. Zhou Yi moved back and formed a double midfielder with Sven Bender. Mark returned to the center to connect in series, and Royce went to the right.
※※※
"Klopp is going to fight!" Duan Xin said after seeing this substitution. There is only one Sven Bender left in the midfield to defend. Zhou Yi has to organize the offense wholeheartedly, and he will definitely not be able to help much in defense. Gundogan could help Sven Bender before, but now Bender can only rely on himself.
This substitution reflects the determination of the head coach, who can sacrifice defense for the sake of offense.
In other words, Klopp will never accept the result of a small 0:1 loss in the away game.
If you lose, you lose. There is no difference between 0:1 and 0:10. Without three points, you will be further and further away from the top spot, Bayern Munich. It is likely to lead to discouragement.
So at this time, you must hold back your breath and not let it out.
The next game was even more intense and exciting, and those watching were hooked.
However, the scene was exciting, but the goal did not appear for a long time.
Seeing that the game has entered the last ten minutes, the score is still 1:0, with Bayern Munich leading at home.
There is actually not much time left for Dortmund... (To be continued.)
