The midfield king of football life

Chapter 145 You Can't Guess The Changed Dot 012

On September 9, Dortmund will play against "Pharmaceutical" Leverkusen at home.Leverkusen finished fifth in the league last season, so it naturally qualified for the Europa League.But the Champions League and the Europa League are separated by two days, which allows Leverkusen not to worry too much about the physical fitness of the players, because they have enough time to recover.

Not so for Dortmund. Four days after this game, they will continue to start their first Champions League group match at home.This time is actually not enough, so coach Klopp will also perform a certain degree of rotation in this game, but the premise is to guarantee the win.

The match between Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen is also known as the Westphalia derby because the two clubs are based in North Rhine-Westphalia.Leverkusen was founded by Bayer, Germany's most famous pharmaceutical company, so it is also called "pharmaceutical factory" Leverkusen by fans.

Westfalenstadion, Borussia Dortmund dressing room.

"Today's game we have to play our own rhythm and play our offensive diversity. I won't say too much, create a lead as soon as possible, and save it until the weekend's Champions League game." Klopp said simply.

The referee blew his whistle and the game started soon.

On Dortmund's side today, Li Feng did not start, Gotze and Royce both started, and the starting players of the midfielder and defense remained completely unchanged.Leverkusen's starting formation is 433 formation. The striker consists of Kisling, Castro and Schurrle in the frontcourt trident. The midfielder Rolfes, Reynarts and Rathbender form the midfield iron triangle. The defenders are separated by Kadlec and Carvajal on both sides.

It was Dortmund who kicked off first.

Lewandowski lightly passed the ball to Royce, and Royce passed it back to Gotze.Gotze, who received the ball, was not in a hurry to advance to Leverkusen's half, but passed back and forth with Kyle and Gundogan in the backcourt.Seeing that Schmelzer from the wing started to come forward, Gotze started to push forward.

Leverkusen midfielder Rathbender started to press on Gotze.The other two wide players thought to themselves: "Are we going to split the side to Royce or Bwaszczykowski again? We have already studied the routine thoroughly, and we will wait for you to pass the ball, hehe!"

Gotze saw Leverkusen's two wing positions and knew it in his heart.There is no way to pass the ball forward, and Gotze can only pass back to Gundogan, who then transfers to Schmelzer who is forward, and then transfers to Gotze who is running.

The passing lanes on the wing are still blocked.Gotze can only rely on technology to get rid of Rathbender.

Gotze suddenly accelerated after receiving the ball, and then Rathbender started to follow up.Suddenly, Gotze made an emergency stop and changed direction, and then accelerated to quickly leave Rathbender behind.Then Gotze directly wanted to kill near the arc of Leverkusen's big penalty area.

When it was about to approach Leverkusen's defense, central defender Toprak attacked.Gotze also took advantage of the situation and swayed out of the gap, preparing to throw a straight kick to Lewandowski in front.

It's a pity that when Gotze passed the ball, another central defender Walhed quickly filled the position and shoveled the ball to his teammate.This attack was blocked.But the implication for Leverkusen was that they didn't attack from the flanks.

After receiving the team, Leverkusen started to organize an attack, but facing the two Dortmund frontcourt players pressing at the same time, their passes frequently made mistakes, so they had to pass back to the central defender, and then the central defender opened his feet and went directly to the frontcourt player.Dortmund had an advantage over Leverkusen in the high-altitude fight, so they lost the ball very quickly.

Throughout the first half, Leverkusen's ground attack was completely restricted.

In the 29th minute of the first half of the game, Goetze was still driving forward with the ball, Schmelzer from the wing came up, Royce advanced, and the front wing formed a three-person iron triangle.

Gotze started to walk to the side, and Royce and Gotze switched positions and walked to the middle.Gotze passed the ball back to Schmelzer and dropped back.Schmelzer quickly passed back to Royce in the middle, and then advanced.

During the rotation of these three positions, Leverkusen's defensive position was torn apart at once.

When Schmelzer moved forward, Royce had already passed the ball in place. After receiving the ball, Schmelzer quickly went to the bottom, and then made a cross to find Lewandowski in the penalty area.

It's a pity that this kick was pushed out of bounds by a Leverkusen player.Dortmund wins a corner up front.

Dortmund's height is extremely advantageous, and the tall Hummels and Subotic are both good headers.

Schmelzer quickly took a corner kick and went directly to Hummels in the middle of the penalty area. The tall Hummels overwhelmed the crowd and grabbed the first spot. Then he smashed the ball into the goal and the ball hit the net.

"GOALLLLLL"

"Goal! Go in! It was Hummels' header that opened the game!"

"Isn't that normal? Hummels has the strength of a top central defender."

"The height of Hummels and Subotic can crush the players of Leverkusen, except for one Walhed who is about the same height, but his reaction and jumping are not as good as Hummels. They are too disadvantaged."

The Dortmund fans talked about the goal and then let out a loud roar.

Li Feng, who was on the bench, saw these times in his eyes.Players run more actively on the field and are not limited to a fixed position, so that it is easier to create more offensive opportunities.

The next game was almost a one-sided situation. Leverkusen's offense was suppressed, and the defense began to lose its position. Dortmund took advantage of the situation to pursue.

In the 39th minute, Gotze still started to walk on the wing as before, and the three of Royce and Schmelzer switched positions and advanced, and then attracted Leverkusen's defensive attention to this side.

Suddenly, Bwaszczykowski, who saw the right flank, was completely empty.Gotze made a wide-range transfer on the wing, and the ball passed to Bwaszczykowski on the other side.Bwaszczykowski, who received the ball, accelerated to the bottom, and Royce also advanced to follow up.

Facing Leverkusen's defense, Bwaszczykowski and Royce made a wall-hitting two-for-one, getting rid of Leverkusen's defender Kadlec at once, and Bwaszczykowski, who caught the ball again, had already reached the penalty area.Without making any adjustments, Bwaszczykowski made a burst shot, and the ball quickly flew to the far corner of the goal and went into the net.

"GOALLLL"

"Beautiful, this attack is smooth and smooth, playing with Leverkusen's defense in the applause!"

"Gotze's wide-range transfer is beautiful, and he penetrated Leverkusen at once."

"The one-two between Royce and Bois is also beautiful!"

Dortmund fans cheered and discussed happily in the stands.

The heart of Coach Klopp on the sidelines fell to the ground.

In the first half, Leverkusen was under pressure, unable to play offensively, and the defense was full of loopholes.I can't figure out Dortmund's offensive methods at all. There are too many changes and it is elusive.

At the beginning of the second half, Leverkusen made substitution adjustments, replacing the midfielder Bella Rabi and replacing the full-back Kadlec, which will strengthen the offense and defense of the midfield.

However, Leverkusen's substitutions did not bring much effect, because Dortmund's defense was quite tight. The two frontcourt double-teamed and pressed, the two defensive midfielders pressed hard, and finally the central defender blocked the goal with iron bars.Leverkusen's offense was completely unplayable, and they could only pass a long-distance high ball to the high point of the penalty area, but Hummels and Subotic contracted the defense of the high-altitude ball, and the defense was airtight.

In the 69th and 72nd minutes, seeing that the form on the field was still in his hands, Klopp made substitution adjustments, replacing Royce and Gotze, and replaced Schiebel and Li Feng, and the formation became 442 Formation.

Leverkusen also replaced Carvajal, who could not keep up physically, with Schwab in 72 minutes.

Throughout the game, Dortmund's offense was no longer the same as before, just habitually relying on the two sides, but constantly changing offensive routines, making the opponent unpredictable.

In the 78th minute, Dortmund did not directly attack from the center. Li Feng began to habitually transfer from the two sides. It gave Leverkusen the illusion that he was still going to attack from the two sides. However, what they did not expect was that after several side shifts, Li Feng suddenly threw a long pass to Lewandowski on the front line.

Throughout the game, Lewandowski was cooperating with running positions, and of course he would not miss this single-handed opportunity.He started at the first time, caught up with the ball in front of him, lightly unloaded his feet, and the ball fell to the ground, and then Lewandowski quickly rushed to the penalty area, and gently pushed the far corner to score.

"GOALLLL"

"Hoo Hoo Hoo"

"It's 3 to 0, the victory is no longer in suspense!"

"Leverkusen's defense with three backs is weaker than before, and Li Feng's lob pass directly penetrated their defense."

Dortmund fans shouted happily while discussing.

There is no suspense about the outcome. The two teams have a tacit understanding to stay strong for the Champions League and Europa League. In the remaining 10 minutes, the two sides did not have much offense, and they played against each other on the court.

In the end, Dortmund beat Leverkusen at home.What made Leverkusen most deadly in this game was Dortmund's changing offense, which made their defensive line like paper and hard to figure out.Coupled with their inability to play offensively, losing is a natural thing.
