Chapter 169 2 Strategies
? In the next game, as long as the football falls at the feet of Dortmund players, the rhythm will immediately slow down. Zhou Yi leads the Dortmund team to control the ball and move forward unhurriedly. If the opportunity is not very good, then Instead of passing the football forward, it is good to let the football stay at your feet for one more second and not give up possession of the ball easily.
But when football falls to Atletico Madrid, it's a completely different style. Atletico Madrid wished they could kick the football directly into Dortmund's goal from the backcourt. When attacking forward, most of them are through balls and long passes, and they rarely pass back and forth in the midfield and backfield.
Atletico Madrid hopes to use simple and direct passes directly into the heart of Dortmund.
These two completely different styles reflect the different purposes of the two teams.
Dortmund really came for a draw, as Zhou Yi said before the game.
With Atletico Madrid attacking so urgently, of course they hope to score goals as early as possible, and the more goals they can score, the better.
This is their home court, and they have to not only win games at their home court, but also win more goals while not allowing the other side to score, which is a very heavy task.
The diametrically opposed goals of the two teams resulted in completely different strategies and performances.
But it doesn't mean that Dortmund must play passively. As long as there is a chance, Zhou Yi will never be weak when he passes the ball forward.
Sun Pan cannot take it completely lightly.
Just like Lewandowski's shot a few minutes into the game, if Sun Pan hadn't been more vigilant, the goal might have gone in directly.
※※※
The game is played in two completely different styles.
Although Atletico Madrid's offensive was very fierce and there were more attacks, they were not able to break the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.
On the one hand, Dortmund's defense itself is very good. On the other hand, the small number of troops invested in the offense allows Dortmund to put more energy into defense, which effectively reduces the threat of Atletico Madrid's offense. .
At the same time, although Atletico Madrid's offense was fierce, it lacked changes and was too direct, making it easier for Dortmund to defend.
So the score was deadlocked, 0:0.
Until the end of the first half of the game,
The score has not changed, and there is nothing to say about the scene, because generally speaking, there were not many exciting scenes in the first half. Many times it was a stalemate and mistakes. Dortmund had few counterattack opportunities, and Atletico Madrid's offense was not threatening.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the players from both sides walked off the field, and the commentators gave different comments.
The Spanish commentator was not very satisfied with Atletico Madrid's performance in the first half. He believed that Atletico Madrid played too simple and rough in the first half. Against a team like Dortmund, such simplicity and roughness is useless. They should use routines in their offense. To put it more richly, if Zhou Yi were replaced by Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid might have led by two goals in the first half.
German commentator Marcel Leif is very satisfied with Dortmund's performance. He is also the one who agrees with Zhou Yi who said before the game that the goal of this game is a draw. Judging from the performance in the first half, Dortmund has completed half of the goal.
A 0:0 away game against Atletico Madrid means that Dortmund's hope of advancing to the semi-finals is more than 50%.
Chinese commentator He Ping was a little disappointed, because neither team performed very well in the first half, nor did the two Chinese players have many highlights. Zhou Yi mostly made cross passes and back passes. There were not many wonderful passes forward, and there were also not many wonderful saves by Sun Pan.
If this is the highest level of Chinese derby, it will really disappoint the Chinese fans who stayed up late waiting in front of the TV.
As a Chinese fan, of course I hope that everyone will be more open in this game and that Dortmund will attack more forward, which will be reversed from the current situation. In this way, Zhou Yi can provide us with more exciting passes in the offense, and Sun Pan will also have more opportunities to perform.
But unfortunately, the opinions of neutral fans are often ignored. Neither Dortmund nor Atletico Madrid will give up their established tactics to satisfy the wishes of Chinese fans.
During the halftime break, Klopp praised the team's performance in the first half. In his opinion, the team played very well in the first half and continued to play well in the second half. But he added that if there is a better chance in the second half, then counterattack resolutely-if you can steal an away goal and win back in the away game, who wouldn't want to?
Of course, Klopp didn't explain what a "better opportunity" is. Anyway, it's up to Zhou Yi to judge such opportunities. Zhou Yi has proven with countless games that he has extremely good skills in this regard. He has high talent and ability, so I believe in Zhou Yi.
If Zhou Yi felt that the opportunity was good, of course it would be impossible for him to still play in the backcourt.
※※※
The atmosphere in the locker room at Dortmund is relatively calm, but at Atletico Madrid, the atmosphere in the locker room is a bit tense. After all, this is their home court, and they have already wasted half the game at their home court. They only had forty-five minutes to do something. They had to score, and the sooner the better.
Simeone continued to encourage his players in the locker room, asking them to give it a try and show courage in the second half.
How does this feel like playing at your own home court?
It's like a desperate fight on the road...
When walking from the locker room to the court, Sun Pan also told his teammates to press forward boldly and not to worry about defense. He was behind him. He said that if they don't let the opponent score, they will definitely not. Let the opponent score a goal. In this way, the defensive players can be left and used in the offense.
Sun Pan is a goalkeeper. He actually can't contribute much to the team's offense. This is the only way he can help the team's offense.
Although he and Zhou Yi are friends, since they met on the court, they are enemies. If they are enemies, who cares about the feelings and thoughts of the enemy? Of course, they want to defeat the opponent and let him go home.
And I believe Zhou Yi must have the same idea.
No matter how many relationships there are off the court, as long as we see them on the court, it’s just one word - do it!
Going all out to defeat the opponent is the best way to show respect to the opponent.

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Dortmund still looked unhurried, while Atletico Madrid's offensive became more fierce.
Atletico Madrid, which has strengthened its offensive, is indeed more threatening. In the first ten minutes of the second half, Atletico Madrid's offensive was very fierce, threatening Dortmund's goal many times, leaving Weidenfeller and Dortmund's defenders in a hurry. Very embarrassed.
This period was finally more exciting than in the first half. The Atletico Madrid fans in the Calderon Stadium were climaxing one after another, as if the goal was just around the corner.
But unfortunately, Dortmund withstood Atletico Madrid's offensive and did not concede a goal.
After Atletico Madrid bombed for ten minutes, they still failed to break Dortmund's goal. On the one hand, their physical fitness needed to slow down and their rhythm had to be slowed down. On the other hand, they are also worried that Dortmund will use the space behind them to counterattack. Although Sun Pan actively said that everyone does not need to worry about the behind, no one will really ignore the defense.
Atletico Madrid slowed down as a result.
Atletico Madrid's speed has slowed down, and Dortmund's speed has not increased because of this.
They are still taking their time dealing with Atletico Madrid.
When Dortmund did this, boos rang out from the sky above Calderon.
The boos were sporadic at first, but then they got louder and louder.
Obviously, Atletico Madrid fans are very dissatisfied with Dortmund's deliberate delaying of the game and negative play.
Of course they hope that Dortmund can press forward and attack Atletico Madrid. Anyway, with Sun Pan behind them, they are not afraid of Dortmund's attack. But after Dortmund launches an offensive attack across the board, there will be many loopholes in the defense that can be exploited by Atletico Madrid.
However, under the shameless leadership of Zhou Yi, the entire Dortmund team turned a blind eye to the boos from Atletico Madrid fans. Despite their loud boos, they did not change their tactics at all.
If Dortmund doesn't come forward in such a hurry, Atletico Madrid can't afford to wait.
If this game continues to drag on like this, it will not be good for Atletico Madrid in the end - Dortmund can accept a 0:0 away game, but Atletico Madrid absolutely cannot accept it!
As a result, Atletico Madrid, which had not yet taken a breath, had to press forward and grab the ball from the Dortmund players in the midfield. Fortunately, their physical fitness is relatively good, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to run.
However, Dortmund's physical fitness is not bad. Under the leadership of Zhou Yi, everyone passes and runs very closely. Because they are always running, the players with the ball can always find a passing route, so that Atletico Madrid players will not rely on them. The ball is easily intercepted when pressing, so Dortmund's passing runs fairly smoothly.
During this period, Zhou Yi maximized his ability to pass the ball without observing. No matter how hard Atletico Madrid players press, he can pass the football before the opponent. So in the end, Atletico Madrid players had no choice but to foul Zhou Yi.
But there is no point in doing so. Because they fouled Zhou Yi, the game will be interrupted. The interruption of the game is the result that Dortmund wants to see.
Moreover, fouls will also put Atletico Madrid players at risk of being booked, adding uncertainty to the subsequent second round.
But the Atletico Madrid fans didn't care that much. They only saw Zhou Yi knocked down at the touch of an Atletico Madrid player. So as long as Zhou Yi got the ball, the boos were deafening.
In the minds of many Atletico Madrid players, Zhou Yi is completely equated with "flopping"...
But in fact, every time I watch the slow-motion replay, I know that there is no problem with the Atletico Madrid player's foul, and Zhou Yi's fall is justified. (To be continued)).
