Chapter 56 Use Speed to Beat Speed

During the halftime break, assistant coach Buvac took the substitutes to stay on the court to warm up and prepare for possible appearances in the second half.

Klopp returned to the dressing room alone.

He was the last one to return to the locker room. After walking in, he closed the door and directly called Zhou Yi's name: "Zhou Yi, I want to hear your explanation of the first half."

These words made other players in the locker room stunned. Is the head coach planning to launch an attack?

Although the score was behind in the first half and it was not recovered by the end of the half, everyone still worked very hard and always created a threat to Chelsea.

The biggest hero here is Zhou Yi. Everyone was moved by Zhou Yi to attack and charge him towards the Chelsea goal. Not only did he create many opportunities for his teammates, but he also had several shots that threatened the Chelsea goal. If Sun Pan hadn't performed so well, it would have been possible for Dortmund to end the first half with a lead, let alone equalize the score.

Everyone can see this performance clearly. The head coach can't see it, right?

There is no need to question Zhou Yi...

Klopp stared at Zhou Yi and said: "In the first half, you chose more through balls, which led to a faster offensive rhythm. I want to hear, why did you choose this approach in the first half against Chelsea?"

Then he waved to the other players: "Don't be nervous, I'm not trying to get angry."

Zhou Yi stood up and said: "It's very simple, I think we need to speed up against Chelsea."

This conclusion is very simple, just one sentence, but it was discovered by Zhou Yi through dozens of virtual games.

"Yeah, let's talk about it in detail.

"Klopp leaned against the door, folding his hands on his chest as if listening.

"Mourinho's team is good at defensive counterattacks, which has been proven in Real Madrid. And they now have an enhanced version of Cech Panpan before Cech was injured...Sun Pan. They We have the conditions for a defensive counterattack. If we pass the kick back and forth and patiently look for opportunities as usual, I think if we do this, we will compress the opponent into a monolithic piece, which will be beneficial to their counterattack. First, force them to shrink their defense, The space left for us will become smaller and smaller, and at the same time, we will continue to make mistakes in the frontcourt, which will also leave a lot of gaps in the backcourt for Chelsea to exploit."

Klopp nodded without interrupting.

The other players in the locker room were also listening attentively. They knew that Zhou Yi was unique in game analysis, and they all understood why the head coach asked Zhou Yi to explain by name. This would definitely help the team. The team defeated Chelsea.

"So I think if we speed up our attack and pace, on the one hand we can get more offensive opportunities, and on the other hand we won't leave Chelsea with a chance to solidify their defense so easily, so that we can get as close to their defense as possible. In the core area, create shooting opportunities. The third reason is that we can avoid investing more troops in the frontcourt, which will lead to an empty defense and the opponent will seize the opportunity to hit us behind. So I The field consciously speeds up the attack and uses more direct passes in order to create more shooting opportunities. Against Chelsea, we cannot simply pursue the success rate, but must use more attacks to confuse them and drown them. .”

Some of the team members looked at Zhou Yi's principles with admiration, but they may not all understand them. Even if you understand everything, you may not be able to explain it as clearly and coherently as Zhou Yi did.

Many professional players do not have high academic qualifications and have devoted themselves to professional football at a young age. Even if cultural classes are arranged, they will not take them seriously. There are too many players who can’t even understand their contracts and completely listen to their agents. There are also players who can only write their own names and become money-making tools for their families and agents... For example, the talented player Jose Antonio of Sevilla in Spain Reyes, he has outstanding football talent, so he almost never went to school because his parents did not realize that children need to go to school. After they saw Reyes’ football talent, their only goal was to take him to school. He trained to make money as a professional player. Reyes officially dropped out of school when he was fourteen years old. Even before that, he had never been to school a few times. He could even fail physical education. He could barely read, let alone write. The only thing he could do was perhaps writing. It's his own name. If it wasn't needed to sign a contract, he might not even know how to use it...

Of course, this does not mean that all Dortmund players are like this. Reyes is an extreme example, but it can also illustrate the general situation of the huge group of professional players and the even larger group of teenagers who are working hard to become professional players. Condition.

Besides, in terms of eloquence, they are definitely not as good as Zhou Yi.

There is a reason for people to be the core. There are reasons why people can gain the trust and preference of the head coach.

All success in this world is not an accident.

After listening to Zhou Yi's explanation, Klopp nodded and then asked: "But they still have Sun Pan. At the end of the first half, with your shot, Lady Luck was on our side." . But he was still thrown out by Sun Pan. Do you have any ideas on how to deal with him? "

Everyone looked at Zhou Yi expectantly, but they didn't expect Zhou Yi to simply give an answer they didn't expect.

"No." Zhou Yi shook his head.

Klopp was also a little surprised that Zhou Yi said no?

Seeing how confident he looked before, I thought he had a plan...

Zhou Yi smiled and spread his hands and explained: "It's not a joke, it's true. I think to deal with Sun Pan, we can only use more shots to accumulate quantity, hoping that quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes. I still remember that we played Atletico Madrid at home last season. How many shots are taken in one game?”

Everyone looked confused, who would care about this number? Besides, it has been so long since the game ended, and even if they still knew it at the time, they had forgotten everything.

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Twenty-seven kicks. We used twenty-seven kicks in exchange for three goals, and finally eliminated Atletico Madrid."

"But..." Someone seemed to have a different opinion, it was Swende, but he did not continue, as if he felt it was not easy to question Zhou Yi, who had won the trust of the head coach.

Klopp encouraged him: "It's okay, just ask if you have any questions."

Svenwind frowned and said to Zhou Yi: "But I remember Zhou Yi, you said before that Sun Pan is what kind of... type of goalkeeper?"

"People are born crazy." This is Zhou Yiming's word. It is normal that Svenmund is not familiar with it, but he understands what it means.

"That is to say, the more shots he faces, the better his swing may be. Aren't you worried that he will be knocked out of shape by a large number of shots?" Swende asked.

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Even if we don't have a shot, Sun Pan's condition will not be bad. If we are a weak team, he may not be energetic, but we are the European champions and this game has not started yet. , he became excited. So whether he is in good condition has nothing to do with how many shots we take. In order to score goals, we should feel free to shoot him boldly!"

The Book of Changes systematically explained the theoretical basis of "If the sky is sentimental, the sky will also grow old, and when it sees Panpanmeng, it will kick it".

Although he didn't use this limerick, everyone understood the truth.

Klopp also affirmed Zhou Yi's judgment: "Yes. We need more shots and more threats to their goal. We can't shrink our defense like Chelsea and then counterattack. Because we are behind now. So The second half must continue to play at the same pace as the first half. Mourinho's Chelsea are known for their fast counterattacks. Our speed is not exactly the same as theirs, but we are faster than them!"

In the Chelsea dressing room, although they were leading the way, Mourinho was not satisfied. Because the team gave Dortmund too many shooting opportunities in the first half.

"You are just giving gifts!" Mourinho criticized his players mercilessly, speaking in a strong tone. "Look at how many shooting opportunities you gave the opponent in the first half? If it weren't for Sun Pan, we would have fallen behind! If this continues in the second half, I don't think we can hold on to this one-goal lead!"

Sun Pan lowered his head and curled his lips. He wanted to tell Mourinho that even if it was like this in the second half, he was confident of blocking all Dortmund's shots.

But it is obvious that Mourinho is a ruthless character at Chelsea, and it is best not to offend him easily.

Sun Pan is sometimes reckless, but not stupid.

He plans to use his actual actions on the court to prove Mourinho's statement wrong.

"We need to be more solid defensively in the second half. We need to put more restrictions on Zhou Yi. If we can get close, we can get close. If it doesn't work, we can foul. Don't let him continue to shoot and pass unscrupulously in front of our penalty area! Be tough on him!" Don’t be afraid of taking cards, none of you have taken cards so far, against Zhou Yi, this is simply unbelievable!”

The key to Dortmund is Zhou Yi. Mourinho believed that the reason why Dortmund performed so well in the first half was because his restrictions on Zhou Yi were not tight enough.

Fortunately, Chelsea is still in the lead now, even if it is only one goal, but it is not too late to make up for it.

If you wait until you lose the ball and then adjust, it's over.
