Chapter 126: Escaped a Tribulation

"In the past summer, Dortmund enriched the lineup in the most economical way, and Klopp's vision is still very good. The two young players who joined from the Bundesliga, Sven Bender and Kevin Grosskreutz In several games, he has shown that he is good at running and intercepting, which is very suitable for Klopp's tactical system. It is the most expensive signing - Barrios from South America, who seems to be a bit uncomfortable with the Bundesliga. But Klopp Pu put him in the starting list. For him, this is an opportunity. If he scores a goal in the Ruhr Derby, it can dispel the doubts of many Dortmund fans."

Standing among the Dortmund players, the burly Barrios was a little nervous. The noise that shook his scalp was hard to see in the Chilean league, even in the Copa Libertadores, except in Boca Juniors. He has never seen such a momentum in the box court.

Of course, he is the only rookie in the starting lineup, and a Derby veteran like Shaheen naturally adapts to this atmosphere very well.

Klopp made a high-profile claim before the game to avenge last season's defeat, so today's starting lineup is extremely aggressive. Although the starting lineup is still 4-2-3-1, the selection of individual positions is different from the usual starting lineup. The 21-year-old right back Owo Moyela replaced Schmelzer, coupled with the Polish fast Makuba on the right, Dortmund's ability to break through on the right is a huge threat to Schalke.

In addition, in the middle, Rakitic will face the experienced Dortmund captain Kyle and Sven Bender, who can fight well. Even if Zhou Tiancheng retreats frequently on purpose, he can't nail his position in the midfield. Holtby has to be distracted and alert to the opponent's counterattack, which means that the main task of competing with these two power forwards is Rakitic. Carry it alone.

Although Rakitic has worked very hard, he soon found that he had no chance to face the attacking direction when he received the ball, otherwise he would not even be able to control the ball.

In the beginning, Dortmund's high-post press in the midfield did cause a lot of trouble for Schalke 04. Shaheen stuck his position between Rakitic and the defense, and successfully intercepted the ball after the midfielder was damaged many times. Throws it straight forward to Barrios.

The backcourt conceded the ball too quickly, causing the defense to counterattack directly against the opponent. The gap between the central defenders was directly caught by Shaheen. Fortunately, Neuer's attack speed was faster than Barrios, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain the score at 0 :0.

Duan Xuan watched Schalke's goals in danger again and again in Westphalia's on-site commentary booth, feeling lingering in his heart: "If Klopp didn't believe in Barrios so much, but replaced him with his compatriot, the young man who is good at speed The tall Valdés is probably hanging. Barrios is still in a slump, but it’s hard to say when he will get back to his form in South America, I just hope he doesn’t score today.”

Because the South American league does not pay special attention to the tactical system, the style is relatively open, so the stars from South America to Europe are trapped in different environments and tactical requirements. It is generally difficult to perform at the early stage of joining, but many players drive low and go high. . The Argentine striker Milito who is currently playing for Inter Milan was on loan between Genoa and Zaragoza for a season at the beginning of his landing in Europe. As a result, he won Inter Milan's title by virtue of his performance in Zaragoza. focus on. The 30-year-old Milito can be regarded as a typical late bloomer rarely seen among South American players.

And Barrios is younger than him, and has excellent physical fitness and terrifying data efficiency to prove himself. Many Bundesliga experts regard his joining as "Klopp's most successful signing of the season."

For a striker who scored 49 goals in 53 games, finding himself is just a goal, just a layer of window paper.

As long as it is not in this scene, this is Duan Xuan's only thought.

The names of Schalke's central and backcourt players are high-frequency words that appear in the commentator's mouth at the beginning of the game, and Neuer has the highest photogenic rate, and Zhou Tiancheng in the frontcourt basically does not appear in the commentator's mouth. Even Rakitic's name is mentioned frequently - when he is pressed or makes a mistake.

This is a very bad sign. It's hard to imagine the players in the dressing room sworn to win the derby just a few minutes ago.

The ball always moves in Schalke's half, and Hollerbach is terrified. He is even more nervous than Magath, although he knows Magath's strategy. Look for opportunities to press on. This is indeed a relatively safe method, but seeing the opponent's current offensive, it is a bit difficult to stabilize.

Of course, the defenders on the field know this best, especially the captain Westman on the field. Barrios went around him many times to grab points. He felt that he could not take advantage of the big man from South America. The only good thing is that several headers did not fall within the goal range.

But Westerman knew that he couldn't always rely on luck to help like this. He just signaled Hewedes to come closer to him to help. Another wave of attack from Dortmund came.

Sbender steals Rakitic in the midfield, Shaheen points the ball to the right, and "Kuba" Blaszczykowski directly overwhelms left-back Bordon with his speed. The 33-year-old old Schalke captain's explosive power was completely inferior to the fast Polish horse who was eight years younger than him.

"Ah! Dangerous... Schalke's defense on the left is indeed too unstable. Perhaps Magath should seriously consider the issue of the left back. With such a defense, it is difficult to guarantee that they can achieve their goals throughout the season."

But now we have to get rid of the troubles in front of us!

Kuba broke through from the side and cut directly into the penalty area. Hewedes had no choice but to leave Westman's side to defend, and he could not let Cuba choose freely near the goal.

But he was only halfway through the run, the ball had already been passed to the middle, and Barrios jumped high in the middle, with a higher jump height than Westerman.

It looked like it would be a no-brainer pressure. Westerman has no better way, he can only raise his arms horizontally, so that when the opponent presses down the header, he will use his body to cause a certain amount of interference.

Barrios headed the ball very powerfully this time. He took off fully, exerted all his strength, and slammed down. The ball passed Neuer's finger and hit the net.

Barrios raised his arms excitedly, ready to interact closely with the cheering fans in the stands, but saw the referee Bremer running over, not pointing at the center circle, but pointing at the same spot, and pointing at Dortmund's backcourt at the same time.

Goal invalid! Set the ball in the backcourt.

"You made a deliberate move just now, so it's not a goal, it's a foul."

After Bremmer finished speaking, he ran over to check on Westerman who was lying on the spot. Captain Schalke covered his head and looked like a real victim.

"This is obviously an exaggeration! I didn't hold his head down at all."

"But you have hurtful moves, I don't think there is anything wrong with fouling."

This is equivalent to the final judgment. Barrios wanted to say more, but if Kyle came over and dragged him away, it was not worth getting a yellow card.

Duan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thanks to Westerman's rich experience, he opened his arm and caused a collision foul. Schalke survived a catastrophe and escaped unharmed."
