Chapter 478 Battle against Manchester City ([-])
When "De Bruyne" came out, the "Dortmund" fans were silent for a while. It was said that "De Bruyne" was slightly injured before the game, but now it seems that "Pellegrini" is going to take a risk.
Bundesliga fans know how powerful "De Bruyne" is. Wolfsburg almost relied on "De Bruyne" at home last year to beat Bayern Munich 4-1.
Klopp glanced at it, and he knew that "De Bruyne" must not play until the second half, because "De Bruyne" is now jogging. If he is in a hurry to play, he must be doing high-intensity sprints back and forth, not jogging.
"Then I'll seal the victory in the first half," Klopp thought.
In the 35 minutes of the first half of the game, "Dortmund" did not score that quicksilver match again. The reason is very simple, because Royce has an extra bodyguard - Yaya Toure.
The Ivorian adopted man-to-man tactics against Royce. As a result, the three Musketeers of "Dortmund" were missing one of three and became a duo.
Another defender of Manchester City - Fernandinho is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He sticks to Li Qiao. Fernandinho, like Li Qiao, both debuted in the Ukrainian League and is a tough guy created by Eastern European football.
Fernandinho's defense is very characteristic. He always hides 5 meters away from Li Qiao. If Li Qiao doesn't choose the direction to break through, then he doesn't move. Once Li Qiao chooses the direction, his first kick is very ruthless.
Li Qiao knows that the midfielders trained in Ukraine are all the type who eat people and don't spit out bones. The most typical one in the past was "Tymoshchuk".
So Li Qiao was a little afraid of "Fernandinho", trying not to let the latter kick him.
In order to avoid Fernandinho, Li Qiao hugged the wing and broke through. Facing Sania, Li Qiao thought of many ways, but the effect was not good.
Fortunately, Klopp thought of Li Qiao, he waved his hand, and Schmelzer came on!
After the full-back assisted, Li Qiao's pressure was reduced by half. When he broke through again, Sania was so courageous that he still made a shovel. As a result, a very strange scene appeared. Sania caught the ball between his legs, like holding a meatball with chopsticks.
Li Qiao kicked and tried to kick the ball away, but Sania sat on the ground and clamped the ball tightly. Schmelzer saw it and kicked it too. Fernandinho also joined the chaos when he saw this. As a result, the four of them stirred up a ball together. To put it more exaggeratedly, it was like eating hot pot.
In this case, the referee usually waits for the whistle to be blown, and then the ball is dropped, but the referee in this field is also weird, he stands not far away and watches.
The close-range hand-to-hand fight soon got everyone angry. Li Qiao and Fernandinho began to push and shove, and only then did the referee call a foul.
After this farce, the first half ended soon, and the audience burst into applause, expressing their approval of "Dortmund"'s performance in the first half.
With a big wave of Pellegrini's hand, all the substitute players don't have to go back to the locker room and stay on the court to warm up.
With the game played like this, Pei Shuai is basically satisfied, basically within expectations, but if he wants to qualify, an away goal in the second half is a must.
*****
"Guess who "De Bruyne" will replace in the second half", Klopp raised this question to everyone.
"It must be Nasri."
Klopp nodded and snapped his fingers, "It should be, give it a try."
"So do we need to adjust in the second half"?
"No, Li Qiao is here enough to suppress Manchester City's right. I think "De Bruyne" will not be too much of a threat without support."
"Ok".
During the 15-minute break, everyone drank water, and it passed quickly. When they walked out of the locker room, they happened to see Manchester City make another substitution, but when they looked carefully, they were dumbfounded. Manchester City did not replace Nasri, but Fernandinho.
Then call 4141 instead, so desperate!
Klopp was also surprised at first, but then he also understood that for Peshua, if there is no away goal at "Dortmund" at home, then it will be difficult to return home.
After "De Bruyne" came on the field, Manchester City switched to double attacking midfielders in the second half. Silva was paired with "De Bruyne". This combination will make many European coaches drool.
Not only that, Pei Shuai also gave Aguero a word in the locker room-don't mess around.
*****
When the cruise missile of "De Bruyne" flew over the goal, Weidenfeller broke out in a cold sweat. It seems that the most basic quality of players worth more than 5000 million is to shoot like a missile, such as Ronaldo, such as Bell, such as the current "De Bruyne".
"De Bruyne" did not display his best organizational talent in the midfielder position, but shot directly to give Weidenfeller a disarm.
The ball basically does not turn in the air, and the speed is very fast, just like the flight path of a missile, so it is called a Tomahawk shot.
This kick was actually not to scare Weidenfeller, but to show Zhou Dun. Originally, when Zhou Dun got the ball from the opponent's midfielder, he immediately closed it to prevent the winger from cutting inside.
So the kick of "De Bruyne" clearly told Zhou Dun that if you shrink back, then I will shoot directly.
A good player is to arm himself to the teeth. Zhou Dun understands the warning of "De Bruyne", but this is not something he can solve. It can only rely on the help of Wang Kong in the position of the midfielder.
In the 15 minutes of the second half, Klopp was a little anxious. The threat of "De Bruyne" exceeded his expectations. If "De Bruyne" was on the right side, then Li Qiao could fight against him!
But if "De Bruyne" is in the middle, once he and Silva join forces, the road in "Dortmund" will be very empty.
Because "De Bruyne" and Silva only need to pass the ball to break through the "Dortmund" midfielder's defense, and then face Hummels and Zhou Dun.
Finally, at 25 in the second half, "De Bruyne" succeeded, and it was still a long shot from outside the penalty area. Zhou Dun was still the same, not pounced.
This is Klopp's tactic. No matter what team Zhou Dun is in, he is very faithful to the coach's tactic execution and will never make his own claims.
But "De Bruyne"'s long-range shot is really too powerful. After a few times, it was either high or flying, and this time "De Bruyne" finally pressed the ball within the range of the goal frame. Weidenfeller was still powerless as always and scored the ball.
The score became 1 to 1! !
After the goal, Peashua turned into Klopp and started to celebrate crazily. This is rare. Another characteristic of "Pellegrini", nicknamed the Chilean engineer, is stability. Running around to celebrate like this can only show one thing, he is so excited!
*****
So what about Klopp? ?
With Uncle Zha's character, he should be able to control violence with violence, counter attack, and win back.
But after thinking about it, Klopp made an equally unexpected choice-to soften.
He withdrew Wang Kong back to play five defenders. You must know that whether it is playing Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Klopp has never been so soft.
Uncle Zha thinks so, now is not the time for a decisive battle, and "De Bruyne" is very excited in the second half, the best choice is to avoid his edge.
After Wang Kong came back, he resolved Zhou Dun's conflict, that is, the question of whether to pounce on "De Bruyne".
Pei Shuai did not expect that Klopp in his impression is a character who will not be subdued even if he is beaten to death. How could he show weakness at home?
But taking a step back, after "Dortmund" changed to play 5 defenders, Manchester City's chances in the frontcourt suddenly decreased.
When the frontcourt was blocked, the ball was passed back to Yaya Toure. At this time, Yaya Toure had no helpers around him, and he was alone in the midfielder, as if he was alone.
Li Qiao has already set his sights on Yaya Toure, and he gestures to Aubameyang to go together.
Yaya Toure is very confident and careless. He is still unaware of the dangers around him. Yaya Toure's mother tongue is French and he can understand English, but he is not sensitive. But when Kompany realized the danger, he yelled at Yaya Toure.
"what"?
Yaya Toure wanted Kompany to say it again, but there was no chance.
Aubameyang snatched the ball and gave it to Li Qiao. This time, Li Qiao's only belief in dribbling the ball is to pass Sagna.
Sania is fast and very flexible, but Li Qiao is younger. This time, Li Qiao increased his speed to 10%. After a short sprint of more than [-] meters, Sania couldn't stand it anymore, and Li Qiao passed.
It was the first time Kompany saw Sagna being raped, and he immediately retracted to protect the middle of the penalty area.
Li Qiao knew that the essence of fast attack was the word "quick", so without making adjustments, Li Qiao directly flicked the outside of his right foot and passed it to the center.
"Depend on"! ! ! !
Aubameyang grabbed Yaya Toure too hard, and he didn't slow down, so when Li Qiao passed the ball, no one followed up in the middle.
Klopp was so angry that he almost smoked himself, "Why didn't I replace Gomez"! !
Li Qiao also felt very sorry. After all, it was really difficult for him to pass Sania completely on the side. Finally, he had a chance, and no one outflanked the middle.
The danger reminded Pei Shuai that he was a bit hot-headed just now, and then he stabilized Manchester City's defense. The two teams seemed to have a tacit understanding, and the offense slowed down. The score of 1 to 1 is acceptable for both sides. Let's go to the "Etihad Stadium" for a decisive battle in the next game!
Sania also learned the lesson, and since then he obediently stood within 10 meters of Kompany. No matter how Li Qiao teased him, he would not rashly fight with Li Qiao.
Finally, the referee also understood the minds of the coaches of both sides, and blew the final whistle at the 90th minute of the game.
The fans of the Hornets in the field are making an appointment in twos and threes, and they will go to Manchester to watch the next game!
