Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 571 Turning Waste into Treasure
After returning to the locker room during the intermission, Situ Yunbing fell into a dilemma.

This has never been encountered during his time in charge of Liverpool.

From the perspective of containing Dortmund, he should further withdraw Kanter's position and free Van Dijk to follow up with Lewandowski, making Dortmund's play with Lewandowski as the fulcrum of the frontcourt completely invalid .

But there are two hidden dangers. After all, Dortmund still has the ability to penetrate and pass in the middle. With the two immortal Kuba and Gross Kreutz, the threat that Shaheen and Mkhitaryan can create should not be underestimated. .

Another concern is that this is Liverpool's home court. Liverpool obviously need to adopt a more proactive style of play to win. If the basic tactical goal is set to limit the opponent, then the pursuit of the result of the game should be relatively reduced One grade, that is, a draw is also acceptable.

And if a more aggressive defensive and offensive strategy is adopted, then the pressure on Liverpool's defense will be further expanded!
Situ Yunbing thought and weighed for 3 minutes before making a decision.

There has not been such a fierce battle for a long time. He put aside the risk of winning or losing for the time being. In the absence of Suarez, he still adopted a more aggressive style of play to fight Dortmund to the death!

The opportunity is rare, how can we shrink back?
Arranging tactical adjustments intensively, Situ Yunbing quickly arranged the tactics, and then returned to the field after boosting morale.

Situ Yunbing is also looking forward to what Klopp's adjustments to the team will be during the halftime break.

Anfield was very lively, and the fans were addicted to their eyes. The fierce battle between the two teams in the first half was worth the ticket price, and the second half attracted even more attention.

When the players of the two teams returned to the field and switched sides to fight again, Liverpool's first attack in the second half ended in failure. Coutinho failed to control his footwork when he crossed from the wing, and the ball was controlled by Schmelzer on the other side. live.

Dortmund immediately launched a fast break, Schmelzer made a long pass from the backcourt, but this time he sent the ball directly to the middle of the frontcourt.

Since Liverpool is still more or less afraid of the opponent's main wing routine, it actually gave Lewandowski a chance to control the ball in the middle of the frontcourt.

Situ Yunbing suddenly smiled, and Klopp began to grasp the details.

In higher-level tactical contests, psychological games are essential.

Lewandowski quickly passed the ball to the left after drawing the Liverpool defense in the middle.

In front of Azpilicueta, Gross Kreutz quickly made a pass and cut cooperation with the assisted Mkhitaryan.

The style of play with Lewandowski as the core fulcrum has not changed, but some details have been added to the derivative style of play.

Gross Kreutz responded to Mkhitaryan's through from the bottom of the wing. When Azpilicueta quickly returned to the defense, he kicked back the ball and then passed the ball obliquely to the left of the penalty area. Mkhitaryan Grab the ball diagonally to the right rib of the penalty area before Kanter is in place to intercept.

Kuba quickly cuts in to meet the ball and shoots in the air!

The ball was very threatening, and Ter Stegen swooped and saved the ball to the bottom line.

"Not long after the start of the second half, a counterattack from Dortmund almost rewritten the score!
Ter Stegen made a wonderful save!
Liverpool still can't seem to contain Dortmund's quick counterattack very well! "

In the 52nd minute of the game, when Liverpool started to attack, Klopp frowned slightly, because at this time he noticed that when Liverpool was attacking in the frontcourt, Liverpool's left back Robertson moved forward at a high speed, not like a high position pressing the defense Standing in advance, it seems that you are ready to participate in the attack in the dangerous zone at any time!

As the weakness of Liverpool's defense line, Robertson is quite satisfactory most of the time. There is no flawless defender. As long as he is not defeated by the opponent, he is basically not expected to play a big role. After all, he has to be given his growth stage. Fully inclusive.

But in the first half of today's game, Robertson's side was beaten a little dizzy, and it can be said that it was useless.

Then the adjustment of Situ Yunbing's midfield is to comprehensively strengthen Robertson's offensive role.

Now that defense is useless, let's attack!

When Gareth Bale moved to the left to take the initiative, Coutinho crossed the ball to Gareth Bale and then quickly cut inside. Shaheen went to pinch Coutinho, but Gareth Bale knocked back to Robertson who was assisted by a striding meteor, and then he also turned around and quickly cut inside to the middle of the penalty area.

Under layers of containment, Dortmund's defense was concentrated in the center and the left-hand area in front of the penalty area.

Robertson just stopped the ball to adjust a step and then sent a diagonal plug.

The football rolled to the left side of the penalty area, and Coutinho quickly advanced.

It should have been Subotic who resisted his advance, but Subotic was held back by Gareth Bell!
Another classic triangle pass!
Coutinho went forward to play an offensive depth advantage, and when he touched the ball, he turned halfway and swept the ball across the front of the goal.

Gareth Bale was unable to do anything under the pincer attack of Subotic and Hummels. The forward speed was delayed and blocked. Weidenfeller had no time to attack and could only follow the football to roll to the far post.

The picture that caught his eyes made his scalp tingle!
Sterling rushed into the right side of the penalty area with lightning speed, received Coutinho's pass in the front and back of the goal and shot with his foot!

The football flew straight to the inside of the left post of the goal, the far corner!

It was too late for Weidenfeller to make an emergency stop and make a reverse save!
The football went straight into the net!

Sterling turned and sprinted towards the corner flag to celebrate the goal, grinning so much that it wasn't so embarrassing now.

The Liverpool fans in the Anfield stands raised their fists and cheered, and the Dortmund fans were a little depressed.

"Sterling outflanks the goal! Liverpool finished the second half leading the score again!
The goal in the first half was completed through continuous triangle passes on the right. This time they also completed a triangle pass on the left, which is very beautiful!

Gareth Bale, Coutinho, and Robertson formed a small triangle on the left, and then Coutinho sent a cross to assist Sterling to score!

The most impressive thing is Robertson's quick response, which is relatively rare in the first half of the game. Often when the offense can't open the situation, Robertson will come up with restraint and send a cross. Basically nothing Threat, but this time it is different, his assists are directly involved in the goal organization process, and his passing is very important!
Liverpool leads Dortmund 2:1! "

Klopp clapped his hands to boost the morale of the team, and at the same time applauded Situ Yunbing.

He had to admire Situ Yunbing's tactical adjustment thinking. According to common sense, if Robertson was crushed in the first half, most coaches would try to make up for this flaw in the adjustment, but Situ Yunbing simply did the opposite. As a matter of fact, instead of spending energy to fill in the flaws, it is better to turn waste into treasure and let Robertson contribute to the offense.

Even if this will put more pressure on Liverpool's defense, compared to the gains in offense, this risk-to-benefit ratio is very acceptable!
Klopp gritted his teeth and let the team attack the right side of the attack!

Knock!

After the re-kick-off, Dortmund quickly launched a fast break. Lewandowski directly pulled the right side of the front field, but the attack went to the left. When Gross Kreutz quickly passed the ball, Liverpool could not Don't move the line of defense to intercept him.

After the Liverpool defense had just moved, Shaheen assisted up to receive a pass from Gross Kreuz, and then quickly transferred the ball to the right.

Lewandowski did not act as a fulcrum this time, but went straight forward!

Kuba stepped forward and sent the ball through.

Lewandowski took possession of the ball before the baseline and changed direction and then slashed into the penalty area!

Benatia came to block him, Lewandowski decisively knocked the ball back diagonally to find Mkhitaryan, who was pressed by Kanter as soon as he stopped the ball, turned around and wanted to send it again. When out of the through ball, Kanter quickly stretched out a push to destroy the ball!
Eriksson controlled the ball and Liverpool defended successfully!
At the critical moment, Kanter made a contribution!

If Mkhitaryan is allowed to pass the ball, maybe Dortmund will form another threatening attack.

Even though Liverpool took the lead, they didn't drag their feet in the slightest. The rhythm of offense and defense was almost constant, and they were destroyed quickly!

Sterling quickly passed the ball from the right to push the attack, and hit the ball across the middle in front of Schmelzer.

Coutinho took the initiative to run to the center to respond, and knocked back with his heel in front of Bender. Gerrard followed up and sent the ball to the left with a diagonal pass.

Liverpool's offensive was extremely smooth. Robertson quickly assisted and sent a cross. Gareth Bale succeeded in competing for a header in the middle this time, but it was a pity that the goal was too high!

The sighs of Liverpool fans echoed in Anfield, followed by thunderous applause.

Dortmund continued to attack, Piszczek made a long pass from the backcourt, Lewandowski stopped the ball on the right side of the frontcourt and hit the ball across the middle, Mkhitaryan followed closely With an oblique pass from the top, Kuba quickly went forward to the bottom, adjusted a step after stopping the ball, Lewandowski and Mkhitaryan advanced into the penalty area at the same time, and Kuba's cross was sent out.

Benatia stretched his leg to clear the siege at the front point, but he was one step short. Mkhitaryan shot in front of the goal!
It's a pity that he played this ball too squarely!
The ball was sent directly to Ter Stegen's feet!
After Ter Stegen hugged the ball, all the Dortmund fans were extremely regretful. Even Mkhitaryan himself held his head in his hands and couldn't believe that he missed such a good opportunity!
Klopp's face is sinking, and at this time it seems that the subtle difference in player strength between Dortmund and Liverpool can be seen.

Liverpool players will basically not miss this kind of opportunity. Although it is not absolute, it is inevitable that people will make comparisons.

It took Klopp three years to cultivate a world-class Lewandowski. How long will it take him to cultivate a world-class Mkhitaryan?
The key is that in this process, won't other players who have already played out leave the team?
Gotze is the best example. This is Klopp's most heartbreaking situation as Dortmund coach.
