Chapter 70 Package

Dortmund, who was lagging behind, also felt a huge threat. When the game restarted, they tried to counterattack. As the defending champion, they played in such an embarrassing manner, which also made the Dortmund players quite unhappy. ． Updated fastest. This discomfort made them temporarily forget the boos of Naples fans and the threats from those extreme fans.

Mark and Royce also actively retreated more and participated in the operation of the team. Narrowing the distance with Zhou Yi allowed Zhou Yi to pass the football to them, and at the same time, they would not be in a lonely situation like before when they got the ball in the midfield.

After all, Dortmund is a strong team with outstanding strength. It is the defending champion after all, and its strength is still there. After they regained their confidence, they finally had a decent offensive.

Zhou Yi is of course the most critical figure here. However, he did not take all the work of organizing offense under his feet. Sometimes, he will pull to the wing to create space for his teammates and help others step forward to organize the attack.

Although he is no longer the protagonist, he has successfully made Dortmund's offense run much smoother.

Especially midfielder Shaheen, who has partnered with Svendez since Gundogan was injured, has the ability to organize offense. In the past, when he was still in Dortmund, Klopp tried to have him and Zhou Yi form a dual-core, so now this situation is not unfamiliar to him, and he does not need to adapt at all. He can just switch to one mode and work normally.

Naples also felt the pressure from Dortmund. In order to contain Dortmund's offense, their high press also paid some price.

In the 33rd and 36th minutes, Behrami and center back Miguel Britos received yellow cards in just two minutes.

Especially Britos's yellow card. As a central defender, he got a yellow card before the first half of the game was over. This is a hidden danger after all.

But at that time, Britos had no better choice if he didn't foul. Royce took another step forward and entered the penalty area. If he didn't foul and let Royce sneak into the penalty area, it would be difficult to foul again. He couldn't give a penalty kick, right?

So he decisively pushed Royce down,

This action earned him a yellow card, but it also prevented Reina's goal from falling into danger.

Overall, Naples still had the advantage in the first half. There are only a handful of good chances for Dortmund, and Royce's breakthrough may be the best.

In the 39th minute, Naples launched another fast break. Callejon dribbled the ball straight towards the core of Dortmund. Left back Schmelzer's fast and agile Callejon had no choice but to foul. So he also got a yellow card.

Now that someone on both sides of the backline has received a yellow card, the next game will bring more variables and suspense...

At the end of the first half, the score was 1:0, with the home team Naples leading.

"Napoli's performance in the first half was perfect, both in terms of tactics and the performance of the players... Let's see what adjustments Klopp will make at halftime... He has to do something. , otherwise Dortmund is likely to fail in this game at the Sao Paulo Stadium!" He Ping is still objective and neutral on the surface, but is actually very worried about Dortmund.

※※※

In the dressing room at halftime, Klopp did not criticize his players. Although their performance in the first half was not very good, there was a reason for this bad performance.

Everything at the Sao Paulo Stadium has brought trouble and threats to the Dortmund players. Playing in this fanatical and hostile atmosphere requires very high psychological quality of the players. Klopp can't ask everyone to have a big heart like Zhou Yi, so he can't rely on scolding players to make them perform better.

We still need to think of more ways to make tactical arrangements.

In the first half, it was difficult for Dortmund's offense to threaten Naples' goal. According to Klopp's observations off the court, he believed it was mainly due to the disjointed front and rear.

The entire Dortmund team was cut into pieces by Napoli's high press, making it difficult to maintain continuity. Because the Naples players pressed hard with all their strength, it was difficult for them to pass the ball continuously and smoothly. When I drop a foot in the backcourt, I am worried that Napoli will use the high position to steal it and directly counterattack, forcing the pass forward. And because the accuracy rate is too low, I often make mistakes on my own initiative, sending the football to the feet of the opponent's players...

In response to this situation, Klopp's countermeasure is to increase the number of players who can participate in the offense, use more players to fill those gaps, and liberate Zhou Yi or Shaheen so that they can connect the whole team.

With this in mind, Klopp made a very bold adjustment and decided to replace central defender Hummels with Aubameyang.

Reduce one defensive player and add one offensive player. This substitution strategy is not unusual, but it is usually done when there is little game time left to make a last ditch effort.

Klopp will now make such a substitution during the halftime break, which means that in the next forty-five minutes, Dortmund will use a three-back lineup to resist Naples' high press.

A very simple math question: Of course, the defensive area covered by four defenders is larger than that of three defenders, and it can also form a numerical advantage in some areas. On the other hand, the three defenders may have more space than the four defenders. For 45 minutes, Dortmund had to use three defenders to deal with Naples. You can imagine the difficulty.

Klopp can be regarded as burning the boat, but isn't it a little early to burn the boat?

But this is Klopp. As a coach with character, his substitutions and adjustments will never be based on common sense, and everyone is used to it.

If he wasn't crazy, he probably wouldn't be Klopp.

※※※

According to Klopp's idea, after replacing Aubameyang, on the one hand, it can increase the number of attackers and enrich the offensive level. On the other hand, Aubameyang's speed can also allow Dortmund to play long passes when there is really no other way. Fight back.

There is no need to pass the football to Aubameyang's feet too accurately. As long as it is roughly in that area, Aubameyang can sprint.

This is also an offensive trump card arranged by Klopp for the team, which can be used under forced circumstances.

Klopp's idea is a good one.

But the most fascinating thing about football games is that they are always full of accidents, which are completely unpredictable and unpredictable.

Even Zhouyi, which has a virtual world, cannot simulate all possible situations. After all, some things may not happen at all, but they do happen.

At the beginning of the second half, Dortmund, who wanted to regain their momentum and wrestle with Naples, suffered a heavy blow at the beginning.

In the 46th minute of the game, just one minute into the second half, Hamsik sent a sharp through ball at the front of Dortmund's penalty area. Higuain succeeded in countering offside and chased the ball.

Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller, as the team's last line of defense, decisively abandoned the goal, but when he fell to the ground to save the ball, he missed it!

Higuain cleverly moved the football to the outside, and then his foot replaced the football and was caught by Weidenfeller. The off-balance Argentine shooter fell to the ground!

Almost at the same time, deafening boos erupted from the stands, and the referee's whistle also sounded!

"Weidenfeller...it's over! Penalty kick!" He Ping felt chilled. He had already seen the referee blowing the whistle and running towards the penalty spot. This was undoubtedly a penalty kick!

"Higuain was thrown to the ground by Weidenfeller! Penalty kick!" the Italian referee cheered.

"Is Higuain suspected of diving in this ball?" Marcel Leif, as the German commentator, did not give up and hoped that the referee would rule Higuain diving. But the referee's actions dispelled all his illusions. He ran to the penalty spot and stood there, raising his arms to indicate that this was a penalty kick.

※※※

Weidenfeller jumped up from the ground and ran to the referee, wanting to appeal for himself.

But in fact this is in vain.

And there are more serious consequences waiting for him...

The referee not only awarded Naples a penalty kick, but also showed Weidenfeller a red card for knocking down Higuain!

Weidenfeller, who rushed up to argue the penalty kick, was dumbfounded...

Other Dortmund players who wanted to speak up for Weidenfeller and accuse Higuain of diving were also frightened.

A penalty kick plus red card package? !

Do you want to be so bad?
