Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 418 Rehearsal
When Situ Yunbing coached Monaco, the team's most classic battle in Ligue [-] was not the contest with Lyon, the Ligue [-] class bully. The most exciting classic battle came from Monaco and Bordeaux!
There is a similar situation in Germany. The gimmick of the contest between Bayern Munich and Hamburg is more important than the essence of the game. The match between Hamburg and Dortmund is the most passionate!

When these two teams meet, nothing else can be guaranteed, passion will never be late!
When the German Cup final kicked off, the almost destructive game was presented in front of all the audience. It was breathless and even breathing became depressed. They did not dare to blink their eyes for fear of missing a wonderful scene.

Klopp completed the transformation of Dortmund in the first half of this year. Perhaps this transformation is a bit late. After their excellent record last season, after the last time they won the championship and the closest to the championship, they chose to develop step by step, which seems lacking. The sense of crisis, the result is that reality tells them the cruelty of the situation.

Situ Yunbing has always had this sense of crisis. Because of this, Hamburg is always striving for excellence, and Monaco is no exception.

Although Dortmund is a little late in the transformation, it is not considered backward.

After breaking through the previous bottleneck, the current Bumblebee definitely has the strength to make waves in European football. If the previous Dortmund was at best showing off in the Bundesliga, then they began to change in 2012 and their strength has improved rapidly. It is enough to give fans new expectations. Let's see what kind of noise they can make in the European arena next season!
The players of both teams are playing fast, but the focus is different. Hamburg focuses on the creation and impact of the offensive organization. Qi formed the iron triangle of the frontcourt offensive organization, and then continuously sent shells to Royce and Griezmann. Azpilicueta and Matuidi supported on the wing, and did not rush forward!
Dortmund's formation is to defend and counterattack. After the frenzied partial siege put pressure on Hamburg, they did better in terms of offensive and defensive transitions than before. With a few simple and clear passes, the offense hit the frontcourt!

Shinji Kagawa showed more maturity, and Lewandowski did not live up to Klopp's trust. After serving as the main force for more than a season, Lewandowski already has the shadow of a top European striker.

15 minutes before the game, Royce and Griezmann failed to break through Weidenfeller's ten fingers with a total of 5 shots. disappointment.

It's not that the opponent's goalkeeper is too good, but that their shooting quality is not high.

Dortmund first defended well after the opening, and the number of successful counterattacks was not many, but a few long-range shots did not seem to be threatening!
But in the 17th minute of the game, Hamburg's frontcourt attack was frantically sieged by the opponent. Matuidi was directly blocked by Piszczek when Matuidi received a cross from the front side.

After Kuba led the ball behind the center line, he quickly cooperated with Gundogan to hit the wall.

After Jing Duoan cooperated with Kyle's short pass, he opened the space to respond and then sent a precise long pass.

Dortmund, which is almost sparing no effort, maintains a fast-paced operation. You must know that Hamburg has the advantage of actively pressing and attacking. Under the same rhythm, Hamburg consumes less than Dortmund because Dortmund is passive.

But Dortmund's ability to keep up with the rhythm shows that they have made up their minds before the game!
The Dortmund fans in the stands cheered wildly, cheering for the players!

When Kuba waded the ball from the wing into the dangerous offensive zone, Hamburg's back line had become a three-back system. When Boateng rushed to press, Kuba didn't change his possession of the ball and chose to hit the ball directly across the middle.

Kanter immediately rushed to press Shinji Kagawa who responded, but unexpectedly, the latter also sent a precise through ball with one kick!
Lewandowski originally went forward along the middle to the penalty area, but before Shinji Kagawa touched the ball, he changed his direction and inserted diagonally into the right rib area of ​​​​the penalty area!
As a striker, the agility of running changes has been reflected!

The Polish striker can be regarded as having made it through!
It's time to shine.

Van Dijk immediately turned around and went back to help defend, but Dortmund's pursuit of a fast counterattack today clearly exceeded Hamburg's imagination!

Lewandowski hit the ball on the right side of the penalty area and hit the goal instantly!
The football went straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball, even Navas was caught off guard!
Keen, decisive, ruthless, fatal with one blow!
Lewandowski's goal made all Dortmund fans cheer!
Klopp nodded slightly on the sidelines, applauded and reminded the players to try to perform better!

"Lewandowski shot and scored! Hamburg was broken by Dortmund's quick counterattack. In the German Cup final, Dortmund took the lead!
This peak contest in German football is dizzying. Hamburg seems to be a little difficult to adapt to Dortmund's frantic siege. If Hamburg can't create panic pressure on Dortmund in the offense, then their defensive pressure will increase. Because Dortmund The counterattack will try a different style of play!

Dortmund now leads Hamburg 1-0 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin! "

Situ Yunbing gestured to the defense line, asking them to adjust their defensive strategy!
The mistake Hamburg made just now was that Boateng went to assist in the defense and enlarged the penalty area. Even though Van Dijk is already strong in one-on-one, it is unrealistic to cover the entire penalty area.

It should be Kanter who helps defend the wing, and Van Dijk and Boateng adapt to the situation in front of the goal!

The situation of this game is actually what Situ Yunbing likes. Even though the tough battle is very risky, just imagine facing Chelsea in the Champions League final, wouldn't it be a similar scene?

It has been 5 years since Mourinho left Chelsea, but Chelsea has been lost in the reformation, the beautiful football is like a dream bubble, and in the end, it is barely continuing to rely on the foundation laid in the past. It is impossible for the magic fire coach Di Matteo to have any new tricks. To deal with Hamburg, the Chelsea that Hamburg will fight against is still the iron-blooded blue army that moves the world!

The Hamburg generals were calm about conceding the ball, because there is still plenty of time.

After the re-kick-off, Hamburg's offense was more active. At the same time, Situ Yunbing also issued orders to the striker to simplify the offense as much as possible without any delay!
Even though Dortmund led the score, the game situation was exactly the same as before the goal. Hamburg was still the main attack, and Dortmund was looking for opportunities to counterattack in defense.

Hamburg's offensive threat has improved. In the 22nd minute of the game, Royce received Rakitic's through pass from the left rib area of ​​​​the penalty area. He got rid of Subotic for offside and kicked the ball with his instep. The far corner put Weidenfeller beyond his reach, but the football hit the outside of the far post and bounced off the baseline!
Two minutes later, Gross Kreutz quickly counterattacked from the left and cooperated with Kagawa Shinji to break through Azpilicueta's defense zone. Van Dijk's decisive defense put pressure on Gross Kreutz, resulting in the quality of the opponent's cross. Oops, even though Lewandowski got to the front of the goal, the football flew past his head!

In the 27th minute of the game, Griezmann chose a header relay in the penalty area to respond to Giroud's header ferry. This is definitely a godsend opportunity, but unfortunately he missed it!
Situ Yunbing, who had never changed his expression, couldn't hold back his disappointment this time.

Although Hamburg failed to break through Dortmund's goal, the threat was clear at a glance.

This allowed Dortmund to focus more on Reus and Griezmann in defense.

In the 31st minute of the game, Dortmund once again hit a whirlwind counterattack. Kyle destroyed Giroud's ball at the front of the penalty area, and then Gundogan made a direct pass from the backcourt. A through ball is delivered.

Lewandowski used his physical advantage to withstand Kanter's defensive harassment, and then sent a wonderful pass to Gross Kreuz.

It's a pity that Gross Kreutz's shot from the left side of the penalty area was too positively blocked by Navas!
Burger escaped a disaster!
Klopp's eyes were calm and thoughtful. In fact, the reason why he didn't play Gotze today is very simple. Gotze has good skills and a great offensive threat, but his defensive contribution is not great. In this level of competition, players are almost defeated. It is required to be comprehensive in every position, the offense must be effective, and the defense must also contribute!

The problem that can be derived is that Dortmund's staffing cannot guarantee a comprehensive balance. In other words, there are no major problems in the style of play, but the personnel ability has restricted Dortmund's upper limit!

Even a substitution is just a fine-tuning of the offensive and defensive capabilities, and there is no improvement in overall strength.

Hamburg continues to attack. De Bruyne and Rakitic can still use their personal abilities to ensure that Hamburg's offensive hits Dortmund's penalty area under the siege of the opponent's midfielder. It is already very good, but it is difficult for them to go further. .

In that case, Hamburg risks falling into a top-heavy imbalance.

If you want to break through Dortmund's goal, you still need the striker to improve the ability to seize opportunities.

In the normal state, Situ Yunbing kept reminding the players to change their minds and not always be single-minded!

In the 35th minute of the game, Hamburg's striker coordination did change. When Giroud knocked the ball back to De Bruyne, who was advancing forward, the latter sent a diagonal ball into the right rib of the penalty area.

Griezmann drove Hummels back to follow up in the forward drive, and Schmelzer also returned to the penalty area to flank him.

Griezmann decisively passed the ball to the outside of the penalty area.

Azpilicueta assisted and made a direct pass without stopping the ball.

The football fell towards the point in front of the goal.

Giroud used his physical advantage to block Subotic's line to defend against the press, and then took the lead in rushing to the football landing point and shaking his head to attack the goal!

The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal. Although Weidenfeller touched the football with his hand, the distance was too close, and the football flew into the goal after a slight refraction!
Hamburg equalized the score!

The scorer was Giroud, who unexpectedly became the starter today!
