Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 168

Here, all the players of the Leipzig Red Bull team are like calves, able to run, jump, and rush. Such characteristics have found the team's seven inches against the exhausted Dortmund team.

Facing the fast-playing whirlwind of the Leipzig Red Bulls, even with the half-court defense, the defensive players on the Hornet's side were not active in running.

The body cannot keep up with the mind.

In the No.20 minute of the game, Andre's header in front of the goal broke the deadlock and ignited the enthusiasm of the home fans.

The Dortmund team did not respond after losing the ball, and was still pressed by the opponent in the half.

The second conceded goal came, and taking advantage of the corner kick, the Leipzig Red Bulls made another victory.

2:0.

Regardless of the result or the process, the Dortmund team, which is short of major generals, was completely crushed and completely lost under the clamor of the home fans.

At the end of the first half, Andre's header once again shocked Dortmund into a cold sweat.

The torturous first half is finally over, and the Dortmund fans who watched the game are grateful for the two goals conceded.

The Leipzig Red Bulls' offense was too suffocating, and there were at least five chances to score.

The defending champion faced Leipzig Red Bull in the first half once again, as if it was a repeat of the scene when the two teams clashed in the first round.

It was just that in that game, Wang Po rose up in the second half and saved the team.

What about this game?

"Brighton, in the second half you will be the defensive midfielder alone. Kagawa and Mkhitaryan will come down, and Wang Po and Ousmane Dembele will warm up and come on."

Tuchel is desperate.

I can't wait any longer, if I concede another goal, then the game will really be completely explained, and the team must change. "Wow, Wang Po and Dembele both came on the stage and used up two places in one go. Tuchel can't sit still, but in this game, can Wang Po replicate the performance of the first confrontation between the two sides?"

Wang Po's debut has met everyone's expectations.

This season, Brighton, as the only signing of the Hornets, is very eye-catching in sweeping the position of the midfielder, and the defensive statistics are also at the top. However, in most cases, it is the partner Kagawa, Mkhitaryan, and Wang Po. The position of the single midfielder is his first attempt. This is also the most risky move of Tuchel in this game.

With the innovation and change of tactics.

The existence of a single defensive midfielder has basically been abandoned by most coaches, which means that the number of people involved in defense has decreased and the area covered has decreased.

Brighton has to cover the usual two-person defensive area by himself, which has extremely high requirements for consciousness and physical fitness.

Even the world's No. [-] defensive midfielder, the French midfielder Kanter, who is known as "there is no difficult hurdle, only Kanter who cannot pass", can hardly control this position.

Fight!

In Wang Po's view, Dortmund has fallen into a desperate situation.

Different from when the two sides met for the first time, the Leipzig Red Bulls now have a more mature offensive system after half a season of Bundesliga experience.

Combination of offense and defense, what this team lacks is experience in major competitions. Given time, they will definitely be able to make a difference in the Champions League.

On the other hand, the Dortmund team currently has two problems, one problem is defense, and the other problem is offense.

On the defensive side, the offense can't stop the impact of the young team of the Leipzig Red Bulls.

In terms of offense, strikers headed by Aubameyang cannot effectively put pressure on the opponent's penalty area.

With the current state of the players and the number of substitutions in hand, it is impossible to solve these two problems at once.

Two goals behind, Tuchel chose to take a gamble.

Offense is the best defense.

As long as you can suppress your opponent on offense, you will definitely be able to relieve the pressure on defense.

Of course, if the strikers fail to put pressure on the Leipzig Red Bull's defense, judging from the performance in the first half, the Hornets will be ready for a tragedy.

The first time Wang Po touched the ball, he encountered a fierce foul from the opponent and was thrown to the ground.

Obviously, in this game, the Leipzig Red Bulls made a special defensive deployment against Wang Po, the core of the Dortmund team.

He received the ball again, and the Leipzig Red Bull players who still followed him used fouls and small moves to interfere with Wang Po's rhythm of holding the ball.

Wang Po's several passing and offensive organization effects were not satisfactory. Instead, he was cut off in a midfield dribble and almost lost the ball.

The game time came to the 70th minute, and the score on the field was that Dortmund was 0-2 behind the Leipzig Red Bulls at home. What was even more desperate was that the core Wang Po couldn't find the offensive rhythm, and the threat of the Hornets to the opponent's goal did not increase substantially.

Once again holding the ball was cut off, Wang Po also shook his head helplessly, obviously very dissatisfied with his performance in this game.

Tuchel on the sidelines looked dignified and said nothing. All the cards he could play had already been played, and he had nothing to do.

"Boy, the same accident won't happen twice, this time we are sure of the three points."

Andre stuck to Wang Po's side like a villain, and said in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Oh, the game is not over yet." Wang Po sneered.

Andre sneered, "Really? If I remember correctly, you didn't have a single shot on target in this game, and now we are leading by two goals."

"Really? In the first round, didn't you also lead by two goals, what was the result?"

Hearing this, Andre's face darkened immediately, "I don't believe you are so lucky this time."

"Wait and see."

A change had to be made, and Wang Po quietly completed the swap with Osmen-Dembele on the wing.

The latter is in the middle, and Wang Po is more like a winger.

This small change made the Leipzig Red Bull team taste the bitter fruit very quickly.

Everyone's defensive focus is still on Wang Po, and there are not too many restrictions on Ousmane Dembele who is holding the ball.

Get rid of the ball, break through, accelerate.

Ousmane Dembele dribbled the ball down the middle like black lightning.

Dangerous.

Seeing that Osman Dembele reached the penalty area of ​​the Leipzig Red Bulls unimpeded, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem and rushed to the middle to make up for it.

Dembele made a fake shot and made a real dunk, and passed the ball to Wang Po, who was unguarded on the wing.

The entire right half area is unguarded. Wang Po will never miss such a good shot. Facing the ball, the arch of his foot is opened, and he takes advantage of the opportunity to score with a light rubbing shot from the far corner.

1:2.

Dortmund pulled one back.
