Chapter 176 The Midfield Cannot Just Take Advantage of the Situation, It Must Dominate Offense and Defense, This Is the Core!
"Hey! Li Ang's decisive tackle! No foul! The referee didn't blow the whistle, this is a beautiful defensive block! Gotze took the ball first, Real Madrid's defense still has to be careful!"
"Li Ang's speed of chasing back is very fast! Gotze... Oh! Too slow! The ball under Gotze's feet was taken back by Li Ang again, Real Madrid's counterattack opportunity!"
He Wei and Duan Xuan in the studio looked at the live camera excitedly at this time.
Coach Zhang shouted "Good ball!" and didn't say anything more.
The three people each have their own responsibilities. Generally, two people explain for a while, and then the third person who focuses on the development of the game situation makes a summary.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Coach Zhang really wants to focus on watching the game at this time.
However, with He Wei, the master of control, and Duan Xuan, the famous commentator, it is completely okay for Coach Zhang to not speak today.
When the fans in China cheered for Li Ang's continuous interceptions, Li Ang on the field was very calm.
Now that there is no hair long enough to pull habitually, Li Ang simply touched his buzz cut and slowly pressed to the top of the arc in the center circle of his own half.
He did not participate much in the counterattack in this game, but he still habitually observed the performance of several teammates on the front line today.
Including the quality of Modric's distribution on the counterattack end.
It must be said that compared with the first half of the season, Modric is now playing more and more freely.
He dared to take the burden of attacking and advancing given to him by Mourinho in the Champions League semi-finals, and Modric has done quite well so far.
The distribution of the counterattack was very accurate, and Modric's vision and distribution footwork are top-notch in the football world.
Ronaldo also tried to cut in and shoot again in this counterattack, but due to the interference of Piszczek, the accuracy was slightly off.
Ronaldo, who missed the opportunity, patted the back of his head in annoyance, and then gave Modric a thumbs up.
Commentators from all over the world were also saying it was a pity.
But Li Ang pursed his lips and shook his head.
After Modric retreated back, Li Ang did not immediately communicate with him.
Real Madrid and Dortmund played for another three minutes on the defensive end.
After Di Maria and Modric double-teamed Gotze and kicked the ball out of the sideline, Li Ang walked towards Modric.
"Luka!"
Modric turned his head when he heard Li Ang's shout.
"Luka, you have to be bolder."
"Bold. Do you mean pass the ball?"
Li Ang saw that Modric quickly understood what he meant, and he felt relieved.
"Yes, their two central defenders turn very slowly, so you have to pass more balls behind them, not to the right frontal balls. We don't have much advantage today by forcing or playing crosses. You have to guide Chris and the others to rush, and keep rushing, rushing behind their defense!"
After Li Ang finished speaking quickly, he saw Dortmund sent a throw-in in the frontcourt, and he didn't care to communicate with Modric anymore, and trotted back to defend decisively.
Modric has a high football quotient and IQ, and it is easy for him to understand what Li Ang said.
There was a hint of thought in his eyes.
Subotic and Hummels are both tall and strong heavy central defenders. Today, Real Madrid's attack on Dortmund's defense line only saw momentum, but no effect.
Benzema and the two of them may not be able to gain an advantage in the fight in the penalty area.
So, Li Ang is right!
Real Madrid's counterattack still needs to rush, and it must rush to the end with full power, and it must attack behind Dortmund's defense line!
The rest of the teams may not have this strength, but Real Madrid's forward trident combination, in terms of speed, technology, and impact, is the top level in football.
As long as they break through Dortmund's defense and score a goal once, and then force Dortmund's formation, the game will be much easier.
Modric obviously listened to Li Ang's advice.
He took a deep breath and began to observe the positions of Dortmund's defenders more carefully.
The Hornets' active offensive is still in progress.
Klopp will notice the shortcomings in the tactical response level, but he doesn't want his players to stop the offensive.
Again, in the positional battle, Dortmund has no advantage. If they want to get enough things at the Bernabeu, Dortmund must attack to the end.
And they must strive to score early!
Because the two group matches with Real Madrid have already proved one thing very well.
That is, never fight Real Madrid in the second half of the game.
That's just looking for death. The physical fitness of these Real Madrid animals is too abnormal!
I don't know how the physical trainer named Pintus usually trains these stars!
Klopp is very greedy for Pintus. No matter what results Dortmund achieves at the end of this season, he wants to try to dig Pintus into his team to train the players' physical fitness.
Bayern and Real Madrid are both relying on the sudden force in the second half to beat Dortmund, and Klopp is helpless.
Fortunately, the game has just started, and Dortmund is not afraid of fighting with Real Madrid in terms of physical strength.
Thinking of this, Klopp temporarily stabilized his mind and looked at the court.
As a result, Modric's counterattack one minute later almost scared Klopp to jump up from the coaching seat with his outside instep!
Modric's operation this time was really full of spirit!
The lob just passed Subotic's jump and Benzema was fooled.
It was also because it was too sudden and the lob was too successful that Guo Feng's final shot actually shot the ball directly into Weidenfeller's arms!
Good guy, this shot made Mourinho, who was ready to jump up to celebrate on the sidelines, kneel down!
Weidenfeller just wanted to give Benzema a hug of love.
After the emotions of surprise and shock hit his brain, Klopp wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, walked to the sidelines and yelled at his defenders to cheer up!
Li Ang also covered his head and took a breath of the cold air in the winter night in the backcourt.
He had just praised Guo Feng for being unhappy in a tough battle some time ago, but it seems that he praised too early.
This is a requirement for Benzema to score all ten goals for the one-sided goalkeeper's shot.
While Guo Feng was still stunned and Modric was still covering his face in disbelief, Dortmund had already kicked a long ball by Weidenfeller and also launched a quick counterattack!
"Not good! Go back to defense!"
Li Ang's face changed, and the action of returning to defense and shouting reminders were almost carried out at the same time.
But his return to defense was in place, but the full-backs on both sides were quickly swept by Kuba and Reus!
There was no one to protect the wing, and at this time Li Ang and Long Ge cooperated very well, one to protect the front of the penalty area, and the other to pull to the side to watch the ball holder.
As soon as Reus saw Leon coming, he made a decisive cross pass.
Gotze also made a lob pass before Alonso pressed.
Leon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Pepe, who was already competing with Lewandowski for position.
"Defended"
But before he could return to defense to help Pepe double-team him, he saw Lewandowski completing the technical action of leading the ball and turning around very easily the moment he received the ball.
Leon's eyes widened again, but Pepe, who had always been reliable in his heart, was half a beat slower this time and failed to interfere with Lewandowski's shot!
Casillas was dumbfounded. Pepe's defensive mistake this time was as outrageous as Benzema's single-handed operation just now!
Lewandowski shot the ball above the near corner of Real Madrid's goal. Casillas' reaction was very fast, but he still failed to stop the goal!
At the moment the ball went in, more than 10,000 Hornets away fans at the Bernabeu swept away their previous worries and cheered passionately!
Klopp was also stunned by this unexpected gift.
He rarely celebrated passionately, but stood up and stared at the referee on the field.
When the referee indicated that the goal was valid, Klopp breathed a sigh of relief, and then let the assistant coach hug him and celebrate passionately.
He knew, and Mourinho also knew, that Real Madrid had the upper hand in the opening tactical layout.
But this is football!
Benzema's mistake and Pepe's mistake were enough for Dortmund to seize the opportunity to impose fate's punishment on Real Madrid.
Yes, this is the punishment Real Madrid suffered after missing an absolute opportunity!
Li Ang's mind flashed through scenes that he was "familiar with".
Pepe and Ramos were collectively exploded, making frequent mistakes, and Lewandowski scored four goals for Real Madrid in a single game
"Fuck! What a coincidence, Pepe's slump and Lewandowski's explosion happened at this critical moment?!"
Li Ang was a little worried at first, but after thinking about it, he didn't think Pepe had a problem with his recent state.
Real Madrid's main players have rotated well this season, Pepe's rest time is definitely enough, and Pepe's state was normal in the previous training.
After calming down, Li Ang yelled at the top of his voice.
It was still a rhetoric of comforting and encouraging teammates' emotions first. After doing all this, Li Ang even went to Pepe to ask about the situation.
"Damn, I didn't step on the grass firmly just now, it was a bit slippery, otherwise how could I let that kid turn around! I will definitely keep an eye on him in the later game time!"
After hearing the determination behind Pepe's swearing, Li Ang didn't say anything.
Since Master Pepe has this confidence, the first thing he must do is to believe.
Especially on the defensive end.
Trusting teammates is the basic principle of any defender.
Because they are a defensive line as a whole, it doesn't matter if you say it when you are not in good condition, your teammates will naturally help you.
Li Ang believes in Pepe's professionalism on this point.
After boosting morale, he continued to look at the Dortmund offensive players who had just finished celebrating.
Benzema, who made a mistake, and the Real Madrid players who just failed to return to defense in time, naturally had no time to review.
After the game resumed, they could only make up for their mistakes with more active running and attitude.
Mourinho also stood on the sidelines, he folded his arms, didn't say anything, just observed the game situation with a serious look.
Li Ang did not take the initiative to frequently advance to participate in the attack.
He was still doing what he should do.
Dortmund, who had scored a goal, was more aggressive and continued to try to grab Real Madrid's ball and counterattack.
This is a normal situation, but for Real Madrid's stars, this scene in the Bernabeu is their shame!
Put down the extra burden in your heart, and also remove the superficial brilliance.
All the players of Real Madrid seemed to remember what they relied on to win the Champions League last season!
The angry emotions drove these superstars to forget their dignity, and they became hungry beasts again.
For honor and victory, you can put down your posture and bite your opponent's beast desperately!
Strangling, strangling, or strangling!
Didn't Dortmund want to continue to snatch the ball from Real Madrid and counterattack?
Coincidentally, Real Madrid didn't want the ball.
Real Madrid wanted space!
As soon as this familiar sense of oppression came, Dortmund's players felt as if they were back to a few months ago.
Back to the situation where they were powerless in the fight for the ball when facing Real Madrid!
Li Ang didn't care at this time.
His crazy rush in the midfield made Dortmund's offensive organization even more fragmented.
This irrational passion made Li Ang receive two verbal warnings from the referee in just six minutes.
But Li Ang knew that he couldn't stop now.
Momentum is a mysterious thing. Sometimes, a weak team can suppress a strong team.
And a strong team can perform more easily in this atmosphere.
His passion will cost him a certain price, and this price may be a yellow card before halftime.
But he still had to do it, to inspire the passion and enthusiasm of his teammates, and take advantage of the situation to equalize the score in the first half.
Mourinho also pinched his palms at this time.
He didn't know whether Real Madrid's forward pressure could continue to destroy Dortmund's counterattack attempts.
Perhaps when the worst comes, Real Madrid will have to start the second half with a 0-2 disadvantage and continue to compete with Dortmund.
But Mourinho still wants to give it a try.
He has never lacked the courage to give it a try.
Klopp dared to gamble before, why shouldn't he dare to gamble?
Playing big games, key battles, is to fight with strength and courage!
He also believes that Real Madrid's players, who overcame all difficulties and won the treble with him last season, will not let him down!
Real Madrid's entire midfield, plus the stranglehold of the two sidebacks, have already pressed past the center line.
Modric is enjoying the excitement at this time, but his brain is still awake.
His thinking was still clear when he took the ball, including the ball distribution after the sudden forward run.
And he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to suddenly change and cut into Dortmund's defense!
When he thought of this, he glanced at Li Ang behind him.
Coincidentally, Li Ang also looked at him at this time.
After the two looked at each other, they smiled tacitly and looked away.
In the 34th minute of the first half, after Gotze passed Modric who was pressing him, he wanted to send a long pass directly to Lewandowski in Real Madrid's half.
But he never expected that Alonso, who was still dragging in his own backcourt earlier, had already pressed into Dortmund's half.
Gotze, who thought he was relieved when Li Ang was not on his side, lost miserably after the confrontation with Brother Long.
Li Ang did not raise his hand, and started to move forward the moment he saw Gotze lose the ball, and Brother Long was not slow to pass the ball at all.
The tacit cooperation between the two made Dortmund's backcourt players unable to react for a while.
When Li Ang resolutely rushed to the center of Dortmund, Svend was the first to yell back to defend.
Li Ang's forward run was actually very risky, as there were too many Dortmund defenders in front of him.
And there were few Real Madrid players on his side to follow him.
So when Jingdong An was the first to press out to interfere with his defense, the Real Madrid fans at the scene felt that Li Ang should lose the ball.
But at the moment when he was about to face Jingdong An, Li Ang chose to send a powerful diagonal pass on the ground!
The ball quickly passed through the narrow space between Hummels and Schmelzer!
Schmelzer, who reacted immediately, chose to fall to the ground and shovel, but his toes were still a few centimeters away from reaching the ball.
And just when countless commentators exclaimed that it was a good ball, Modric, who was secretly advancing along the side, easily got a good cross opportunity!
Modric, who took a deep breath, did not waste time hesitating.
He kicked again and sent a powerful cross!
A big diagonal line on the ground!
Hummels, who was not fast enough, failed to catch the pass!
Subotic in the middle could only watch the ball pass by his toes because of Benzema's entanglement!
Weidenfeller gritted his teeth and rushed to the back point.
But Ronaldo, who had been holding back his strength for a long time, did not give Weidenfeller any chance to save.
He chose an unconventional "shovel shot"!
The ball bounced to the far corner of the goal first, and Weidenfeller did not catch the ball in the end, but collided with Ronaldo and fell to the grass!
The whole Bernabeu jumped at this moment!
It was more than 70,000 Real Madrid fans stomping and jumping, cheering wildly!
Under the horrible sound waves, Ronaldo broke free from Weidenfeller and jumped up from the grass!
And this time he did not rush to the corner flag area alone to celebrate, he roared and rushed towards Li Ang who was also running towards him!
The two men opened their arms passionately and hugged each other fiercely on the Dortmund penalty area line!
Modric rushed over, followed by Benzema who had just done the key dirty work, and Di Maria who had tied up the defenders
This exciting goal made the Real Madrid players on the scene excited!
Against the backdrop of Klopp's slightly silent sitting, Mourinho's celebration this time was unusually unrestrained.
The madman rushed to the bottom of the jubilant Real Madrid South Stand, and then slid on his knees while constantly punching and roaring!
This is the passion that belongs only to Mourinho's Real Madrid!
The three commentators from the five channels in the live studio were also extremely excited.
Li Ang did not gain any personal data, but he once again determined the trend of the game on the field!
The main force that withstood Dortmund's offensive frenzy was Li Ang!
The sudden change led Real Madrid's counterattack, and the person who broke through the middle to find opportunities and gave a wonderful pass was still Li Ang!
Coach Zhang did not remain silent this time. He laughed and gave his own comments.
"The midfielder must be able to adjust the rhythm according to the situation, but he cannot just take advantage of the situation. He must dominate the offense and defense and turn the tide! This is the core of the bottom line!"
