Chapter 11 Magath's Target

Judging from Dortmund's starting lineup today, the formation is still Klopp's familiar 4-2-3-1, although Klopp knows that Zhou Tiancheng is more used to playing in 4-3-3, and he does have this intention , To design a set of formation tactics with him as the core, but this does not happen overnight. It takes time for other players to adapt to the new lineup. With the start of this season's league ahead of schedule in early August, there is not so much time. Klopp is still pragmatic and chooses to be stable. Except for Zhou Tiancheng, he still basically maintains the main frame of winning the championship last season.

Weidenfeller is still the unstoppable main goalkeeper. The two central defenders are still the main players of last season Hummels and Subotic. The left back is the German media. Schmelzer, who has missed the German national team for a long time, and Owomoyela, who has a strong assist ability, is the right back. Zhou Tiancheng and Sven Bender partnered with double midfielders. Klopp chose personal attack power in the midfielder position. The stronger Gotze, the single arrow in front of him is Barrios.

Not surprisingly, this is the main framework for the new season. There are also Shinji Kagawa, Lewandowski, and Piszczek on the bench. Such a reserve of strength complements the possibility of Dortmund defending the title in the new season after Zhou Tiancheng Unabated.

Players from both sides stood in the middle circle, and the camera deliberately gave a close-up shot of Zhou Tiancheng, which was very meaningful in the current environment.

Marcel Leif, a well-known commentator of German TV 2, looked at Zhou Tiancheng wearing a Dortmund jersey, and said: "From now on, the Ruhr Derby will be more interesting. Seeing the attitude of Schalke fans, I look forward to it even more." How will Zhou fight back. He is not a person who likes to keep silent, especially when it is about the team winning or losing."

The referee blew his whistle and the game officially started.

Schalke took advantage of the convenience of taking the lead in kick-off, and prepared to sneak attack at the beginning, but Zhou Tiancheng was keenly aware of the long pass after Baumjohann's kick-off for the first time, and immediately went up to fight directly with his strength Dominance bounced off Baumjohn and kept the ball underfoot.

There were strong boos at the scene, but under such a scene, Zhou Tiancheng stretched out his hand to pull Baumjohn up after the referee whistled a foul, and Baumjohn smiled at him: "This time it's not Forget it, Zhou, I didn't guard against you."

"Don't make excuses, John, I'll give you a chance to be tough, and you're even more useless."

The expression of the conversation between the two was deliberately captured, which formed a very funny contrast with the position of the Schalke fans.

Schalke missed a hit, and the ball quickly returned to Dortmund's feet. Everyone understood that this was the main topic of the game - Zhou Tiancheng's performance time.

Schalke chose a 5-3-2 formation today. The midfielder only has Baumjohn as a strong offensive midfielder. The other two defensive midfielders Kluger and Papadopoulos took Zhou Tiancheng. The ball was forced up immediately. The distance between the two of them and Zhou Tiancheng was less than one meter, and they were almost walking with Zhou Tiancheng.

And the dirty work like a quick tackle from Zhou Tiancheng's feet is naturally handed over to Papadopoulos, who is a central defender. This is also Magath's intention to arrange him to move forward today.

Schalke should be satisfied with Papadopoulos' tactical execution ability. In fact, he is not the only one. As long as Zhou Tiancheng takes the ball, even Hao Junmin will spare no effort to come back to help. When catching the ball, you have to face the siege of at least three people.

Magath naturally had a clear understanding of Zhou Tiancheng's speed. In fact, not only Dortmund, Schalke has no players who can keep up with Zhou Tiancheng in the frequency of handling the ball, so Magath can only adopt the method of intensive defense in the midfield and use the advantage in numbers to compress Zhou Tiancheng. Tian Cheng handles the ball's space.

In the opening stage, when the Schalke players were very excited, Zhou Tiancheng still felt the pressure.

He was just about to push the ball forward,

As a result, as soon as they came to the arc of the middle circle, Papadopoulos and Hao Junmin, who was back on defense, stretched out their feet from two directions at the same time, completely blocking Zhou Tiancheng's way out of the ball. If Zhou Tiancheng hadn't jumped up in time , Dodging the tackles of the two, it is estimated that the consequences will definitely not be light.

Klopp stood up angrily and roared into the field: "This is a fucking foul!"

The chief referee naturally had to take care of such actions. Kluger and Hao Junmin were called over at the same time, and they were warned not to do this kind of intentional injury risk again, and commit zero tolerance again.

Seeing Zhou Tiancheng roll twice on the turf after landing, Duan Xuan subconsciously became nervous, "Oh! Hao Junmin is really merciless this time, it was a wonderful game, I hope Zhou Tiancheng has no major problems. "

Just as Duan Xuan finished speaking, Zhou Tiancheng slowly got up by himself, and Hao Junmin hurried over to care: "Brother Cheng, you hid quickly enough."

Zhou Tiancheng's fall hurt enough, seeing Hao Junmin greeted him with a smile, he couldn't help complaining: "Your sister, Brother Hao, your feet are really black, you want to destroy me?"

Hao Junmin smiled and said, "I know you can dodge, this speed is nothing to you, it's just to scare you."

Zhou Tiancheng snorted: "Why didn't I realize that you are so active before, and you feel as if you have been beaten when you see me?"

Hao Junmin laughed and said: "The devil asked us to scare you, who told you to bring your own bugs."

...

Of course, Hao Junmin's "scare and scare" of course included part of Magath's intention. First of all, he must not be weak in momentum, and Zhou Tiancheng must feel the pressure. However, Magath understands that targeted tactics are the key to restricting Zhou Tiancheng.

So today they pressed all three midfielders to the arc of the central circle. Among the three central defenders, Metzelder, who played a guest role, also pressed on, with the intention of cutting off the connection between the midfield and the frontcourt as a whole. Of course, the more important thing is to block Zhou Tiancheng's back jumping. Once he enters the area around the arc of the middle circle, the midfielder's position just forms an encirclement circle. Coupled with Hao Junmin who is actively returning to defense, it is like forming a cover. Similarly, wrap Zhou Tiancheng firmly inside.

Judging from the situation in the first 20 minutes of the game, Magath's tactics are effective. Dortmund's central offensive efficiency is indeed hindered. Zhou Tiancheng can only use long passes to attack directly against Schalke's high-position press, but because he and Barrios have not yet formed a tacit understanding, the timing of passing and running is always not at the same point, and he has repeatedly fallen into the trap. An offside trap in Schalke's defense.

Magath is still satisfied with the current scene. But he is not too relaxed, such a defensive strategy means greater consumption. Whether physical fitness and concentration can maintain the audience is the key.
