Chapter 128 Fatal Question

When Dortmund showed their offense and determination in the first ten minutes, many people were bluffed.

Dortmund fans in the stands continued to cheer for the team, and some people online were surprised that Dortmund was so fierce.

But as the saying goes, laymen only watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

Guardiola, an expert, still saw Dortmund's weaknesses from their "bluff" offensive.

Dortmund's fatal problem still lies in the defense.

Although Klopp finally put together a four-person defense line, the time these four people trained together was too short, and they especially lacked tactical training. This leads to problems in their mutual defense and coverage.

In Guardiola's view, this is something that can be exploited.

When Durm and Grosskreutz press up, a huge gap will appear behind them. In order to fill this gap, Dortmund's two midfielders in this game had to frequently go to the wing to cover defenses. This makes the midfield look much more open.

And this open midfield area is what Bayern Munich can take advantage of.

Before the game, he also asked his team to be patient and not to be anxious.

But now it seems that he has to modify his tactical arrangements.

Now that we have found Dortmund's weakness, we must take advantage of his illness to kill him!

Guardiola seized the opportunity of a dead ball and called Javi Martinez to his side to discuss the situation.

※※※

Klopp turned his head and saw Guardiola whispering in Martinez's ear. He didn't know what Guardiola said to Martinez, but his intuition told him that it was definitely not just chatting.

He looked toward the court again.

Dortmund failed to seize several opportunities in a row just now, and the situation will only get worse.

What's worse is that in the face of such a situation, there is not much he can do as a head coach.

※※※

After Guardiola put Javi Martinez on the field, he conveyed the latest instructions to his teammates-when Bayern Munich gained possession of the ball in their own half, Lewandowski and Ronaldo in front Ben and Muller need to quickly sprint forward to the frontcourt, and then wait for the pass from the midfielder.

Lahm was the connection point between defense and midfield. After getting the ball from the four defenders, he quickly passed it forward to Kroos and Martinez.

Guardiola's arrangement is based on the current situation of Dortmund's defense.

Dortmund's usual defense is dynamic, often taking risks to press and stop attacks. But there is also a problem with this kind of defense, which is that it will expose more space behind you. It's just that the defense line composed of Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer and Piszczek has worked together for many years and has a tacit understanding, so even if there is an opening, it will always be filled quickly.

As for this defense now, Klopp was worried that they lacked communication and could not fill the gaps quickly, so in this game, he adopted a four-man defense set up with parallel positions.

The four of them stayed on the same line, advancing and retreating together. The advantage of this is that it can ensure the integrity of the defense and prevent too many gaps and loopholes behind the defense.

But the problem is that doing so will give Bayern Munich a large space in front of the defense, which is fatal...

When Bayern Munich completed its adjustments, the situation on the field quickly reversed.

Dortmund's threatening shots were gone, replaced by Bayern Munich's aggressive offensive.

Especially the two full-backs of Bayern Munich. In response to the adjustment of Grosskreutz and Durm stepping forward to assist, Bayern Munich's two full-backs Rafinha and Alaba continued to penetrate the Dortmund defense. Behind the scenes, Bayern Munich counterattacked.

Facing Bayern Munich's offensive, once Dortmund was pushed into the second half, they had no choice but to hold on, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

Seeing this, Duan Xin said worriedly: "This can't go on like this. Once Dortmund switches from offense to defense, all the problems in their defense will be exposed. Look at this ball!"

Before he finished speaking, Alaba broke through Grosskreutz on the wing and then sent a cross.

Lewandowski jumped high in front of the goal, beat Papastathopoulos, and headed the goal!

Weidenfeller made a wonderful save, and the header that was close at hand was lifted over the crossbar with one hand!

"What a risk! What a risk! Lewandowski almost broke through the door of his old club with a header!" Duan Xin let out a long sigh.

Marcel Leif pointed out that this is not the first time Alaba has broken through Dortmund's wing defense: "... there is still a lack of tacit understanding between Dortmund's four defenders. Like this ball just now, Friedrich is too far away from Grosskreutz, allowing Alaba to easily make moves in one-on-one situations and make bold breakthroughs... something will happen if this continues!"

Not long after, Bayern Munich got another good opportunity at the front of Dortmund's penalty area.

After Thomas Muller broke through on the left, he suddenly passed the football to the center. As Lewandowski overwhelmed Dortmund's defense in the penalty area, there was a lack of protection at the front of the penalty area, and Toni Kroos was completely unmanned. Take a shot while being marked!

The ball rolled against the turf toward the goalpost on the right. In the end, it just missed the goalpost a little, grazing the goalpost and flying out of the baseline!

"Cross - oh! So suspenseful!" Duan Xin was startled. When the ball circled goalkeeper Weidenfeller, he almost thought the ball was going in...

※※※

In the 34th minute, Bayern Munich gained possession of the ball in the backcourt. The defensive midfielder Javi Martinez who took the ball did not pass the football to Ram and let him pass the ball closer. Instead, after looking up at the situation in the frontcourt, he directly passed the football diagonally to the goalkeeper. Go to the right side of the frontcourt!

There, Durm stepped forward to participate in the attack, leaving a huge gap. Since he had to protect the area in front of the defense, Sven Bender did not move to the wing this time, so there was a gap that could be exploited. Opportunity.

Here, Robben drives forward at high speed!

He then received a pinpoint long pass from Martinez.

After removing the football with his feet, Robben continued to drive the ball directly into the penalty area without losing speed!

"Robben! Robben is here!!"

Friedrich and Papastathopoulos caught up one after another, and goalkeeper Weidenfeller also decisively abandoned the goal, intending to block Robben's shot.

Just when Robben was about to bring the ball to the small penalty area, he took a shot!

Not a powerful volley, nor a low shot against the turf, but a kick...a lob!

The football passed over Weidenfeller's head from the air and flew directly to the back of the goal.

Grosskreutz chased back hard and tried to save the football in front of the goal line, but his outstretched foot did not touch the football!

The football crashed into the goal in front of him!

"Arjen Robben——!!" Marcel Leif roared in a long voice. "TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!! Robben! Robben! He opened the scoring for Bayern Munich! Bayern Munich, visiting the West** Stadium, finally broke the deadlock and took the lead!"

When the football flew into the goal, the Westfield Stadium fell into an extremely brief silence, followed by endless boos, overwhelmingly attacking everyone...

※※※

Seeing the ball lost, Klopp leaned back.

He is actually mentally prepared for losing the ball, but if he has a choice, he still hopes not to lose the ball.

It's just that this requirement is too high for the defense.

The goal conceded just now was a problem in the defense.

Of course, this is not the fault of the defenders, it is a matter of their own tactical arrangements. But besides this arrangement, is there any other better way? If instead of pressing out to attack, they contracted the defense, Dortmund might have conceded the ball before the thirty-fourth minute.

And now this situation is something that I can think of when arranging tactics, and I must bear the price...

He bet that his team would score before Bayern Munich scored, but he lost the bet.

He was willing to admit defeat. He was not very upset, just a little regretful.

※※※

For Bayern Munich, Guardiola jumped up and high-fived everyone around him after scoring.

This was a goal that occurred after he made targeted adjustments, which fully demonstrates that his adjustments were targeted.

As a coach, this is the most rewarding time.

Next, he looked back at the court.

Now that we are one goal ahead, the next step is to score more goals and completely defeat Dortmund's makeshift defense!

He could already see the wonderful scene.

Bayern Munich will defeat Dortmund at home to avenge the loss of the league championship and Champions League last season, as well as the loss of the German Super Cup at the beginning of this season!
