Champion’s Heart

Rangnick thought that his adjustment made Klopp's previous adjustments in vain, but Klopp didn't necessarily think so. Seeing Hoffenheim give up pressing in the midfield and choose to withdraw defense, he sat on the coach's bench, Didn't even move my ass. Please read the most complete!

Hoffenheim's shrinking defense allowed Shaheen, who was playing the midfielder, to move forward a bit, while Zhou Yi, who was already in front of Shaheen, moved forward and approached Hoffenheim's penalty area.

Seeing Zhou Yi running forward, Klopp smiled.

In fact, asking Zhou Yi to make transitions and support for Shaheen on the stage is really not Zhou Yi's best job. But the situation at that time, only let him do it. Zhou Yi's performance was really good, he did not object to this arrangement, but seriously completed the task he gave.

Facing such a player, it is difficult for Klopp to like it or not.

But Klopp also knew that asking Zhou Yi to do the support was actually a waste of his talent.

So when he saw Zhou Yi go further and run to the front of the opponent's penalty area, Klopp's expectations for Zhou Yi surged in his heart.

This boy is always worth looking forward to.

In the face of Hoffenheim's intensive defense, Dortmund actually doesn't have much to do, even Shaheen.

Shaheen's strength is actually not the kind of extremely penetrating and threatening passes, otherwise why is he a defensive midfielder? He is mainly responsible for controlling the rhythm of the team and making some major adjustments. heп g e.

He still lacks some shortcomings for more delicate work.

Compare him with another Turkish player of about the same age, Mesut Ozil.

Both are Turks, but in the end Shaheen chose to play for the Turkish national team, while Ozil chose to play for the German national team.

Both are midfielders, but Ozil is more advanced than Shaheen, and Ozil can also play as a winger. Ozil's ability in the more critical final pass is better than Shaheen's.

Therefore, Dortmund, who uses Shaheen as the core of the midfield, will inevitably encounter such a problem-how will Dortmund attack when the opponent shrinks the defense?

That's why Rangnick dared to let the team give up space and shrink the defense.

Shaheen can only find the opponent's space by crossing.

Hoffenheim paid special attention to maintaining the integrity of the defensive line.

It is to prevent Dortmund from finding a space in this horizontal inverted pass.

From the current point of view, what they have done is fairly successful, and Dortmund really has no chance.

Zhou Yi also participated in these inversions a few times. It's not that he didn't want to pass forward, it wasn't that he didn't want to pass a penetrating pass with one kick, but he couldn't help it. If he takes the risk of doing so, the biggest possibility is that the possession of the ball falls to the opponent's feet.

Zhou Yi's head didn't stop shaking during the constant reversing. He was constantly observing the situation and thinking.

This kind of Hoffenheim's intensive defense has never appeared in the games he has simulated... After all, he has always been the main force in the simulated world, and there is no such thing as a substitute.

It seems difficult to tear apart the opponent's defense simply by passing the ball.

Teams need Raiders.

After Zhou Yi received the ball, he began to pass the football more to Gross Kreutz and Kuba, and their dribbling ability was also limited.

Barrios on the front line is not the kind of striker who is good at dribbling.

At this time, Zhou Yi began to miss Gotze.

Gotze's speed is not fast, but he dribbles well. If he is on the court, with the tacit understanding of the two, he will definitely be able to create some opportunities.

But in this game, Gotze stayed in Dortmund and never came to Hoffenheim.

※ ※ ※

The opponent's line of defense is too tight, and we need people who can open the breakthrough. Off the court, Buvac also talked about this issue.

Hmm... Maybe I should have brought Goetze too? Klopp and Zhou Yi thought of it together.

It's too late to say this now, do you want to make substitution adjustments?

Klopp turned his head and glanced at the bench, then shook his head: In this situation, I'm afraid there is nothing to change...

Then what? Bouage asked.

Let them play more on the wing. Klopp shrugged, In addition, long-range shots can be appropriately increased.

※ ※ ※

So Dortmund began to keep walking on the side, hoping to attract Hoffenheim to shift their defensive focus to the side by attacking on the side.

But Hoffenheim was unmoved. They knew that attacking from the side would always return to the center in the end, so as long as they guarded the center, it would be fine.

What's more, Dortmund now has a forward Barrios, so it is relatively easy to mark him alone.

In Rangnick's view, this is the aftermath of Klopp's substitution at the beginning - he replaced Zidan, who had outstanding personal ability and could shoot, belt and pass, with an unknown pawn who could only make transitional passes. However, Dortmund's offense in the frontcourt was at a stalemate. Now that the last trace of Zhou Yi's effect is gone, what is this replacement quota if it is not wasted?

Thinking of this, Rangnick smiled slightly, turned his head and glanced at Dortmund's bench, waiting to see what Klopp would do next.

※ ※ ※

Seeing that Dortmund's sideways have not had much effect, Zhou Yi began to think that the sideways may not be a good way, maybe... Hoffenheim wants Dortmund to go sideways?

The wing attack is very common in football games, and it is already a useful and effective offensive routine for many teams. But in reality, in football, the center is the most popular area, and all attacking teams are willing to break through the center and shoot from the center if they can, rather than go around the side.

But at the same time, the defender is also very aware of this, so they always hoard a large number of heavy troops in the middle for defense, so the attacker has to choose to go sideways.

From the very beginning, the wing was an option of last resort. It's just that since it is necessary to go, it is necessary to study how to attack on the wing, so various tactics of attacking on the wing came into being.

But no matter how much you spend on the side, the offense will eventually return to the center, because the goal is in the center.

There are many kinds of attacks in the middle, including a small-scale collision with the wall to force through the defense line. There is also a person who dribbles and single-handedly enters the middle.

Another very common attack in the middle is the long shot.

Zhou Yi watched everyone crossing back and forth, from left to right, and from right to left, and suddenly a game came to mind.

Why not?

Zhou Yi always has some ideas that pop up suddenly, and then he will be attracted by these ideas.

Now the beast in him is ready to move, and he decides to make his idea come true.

If it is those mediocre people, they may have been terrified by Zhou Yi's thoughts long ago-you are an unknown person, it is good to be able to play, just complete the tasks given to you by the coach honestly, don't do anything out of line! If you easily waste the team's offensive opportunities, then criticism will follow, and the good performances that have been accumulated before will be wasted!

But Zhou Yi would not listen to them. He actively ran to the middle, and then watched his teammates pass the ball, looking for opportunities.

At the same time, he was constantly observing the Hoffenheim players and found that they didn't seem to be paying attention to himself.

This is a good opportunity...

Just at this time, Gross Kreutz encountered difficulty in getting the ball from the wing, and wanted to cut in to the center to seek development.

After he cut in, he found that Hoffenheim's defense was still very tight, and there were no loopholes for him. Barrios moved forward diagonally, but he couldn't pass the ball because there was no passing route, causing Barrios to be offside as well. up.

As a result, even if you yearn to pass in the penalty area, you can't do it.

At the far end, Kuba is inserting into the penalty area from the wing, but it will take time, and Gross Kreutz is not sure whether his kick can be passed accurately, so he still wants to seek stability.

He knew that Hoffenheim was just waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. If he easily handed over the ball to the opponent, it would also be a blow to his morale.

While hesitating and not knowing what to do, Gross Kreutz saw Zhou Yi running towards him slowly.

Seeing Zhou Yi, Gross Kreuz immediately remembered Zhou Yi's performance in training.

Or make a cooperation with him?

Thinking of this, Gross Kreuz decisively passed the football to Zhou Yi, and then he made an emergency stop and changed direction, cutting horizontally into Hoffenheim's defense.

At this time, as long as Zhou Yi can pass the football overhead to the back of the defense, he can receive the ball.

But if it is late, he will be offside like Barrios. If it was early, the ball would definitely fall back into the hands of Hoffenheim goalkeeper Hildebrand.

So the timing of the pass is very important.

But Gross Kreutz is not worried about this, he has confidence in Zhou Yi. During training, Zhou Yi had shown them his abilities countless times.

This kid can stay in the first team not only because of hard training.

But when he was about to pass through Hoffenheim's defense, he turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yi, but was so frightened that he almost staggered and fell to the ground!

what did he see

He saw Zhou Yi swung his feet at the football!

Judging from the size of his kick, it was definitely not an action to pick a pass, but... a shot!

Facing the ball from Gross Kreutz, Zhou Yi didn't mean to stop at all, but shot directly!

Shoot?! Marcel Leff was a little unsure, with doubts in his voice.

※ ※ ※

In fact, not only Gross Kreutz was surprised, but everyone who saw this scene was shocked!

Most of them have only one idea in their minds - is this kid going to shoot directly? Is he crazy? !

Many people seem to be able to see the scene of the football flying high over the crossbar, across the sky, and into the stands of the Rhine-Neckar Arena.

An offensive opportunity was wasted hastily by such a stunned head!

The surprise of the Hoffenheim players was directly reflected in the fact that when Zhou Yi shot, no one came up to defend him, block him, or interfere with him. They just watched and let Zhou Yi shoot with his right foot!

Of course, there is also the credit of Gross Kreutz-his sudden inward cut attracted the attention of some Hoffenheim defensive players, and they all retreated to defend him, which invisibly increased the pressure in front of Zhou Yi. free time...

The football drew an arc, but it didn't fly up. Instead, it flew over the turf at a low altitude, just bypassing the Hoffenheim players in front of the penalty area!

Everyone believed that Zhou Yi's foot must be hitting upwards, including the goalkeeper Hildebrand. He was ready to pounce upwards, and his center of gravity was shifted to his near foot to accumulate strength.

But when Zhou Yi kicked and the football passed in front of the Hoffenheim defender, he was surprised to find that the kick was not a high ball! Instead, he ran towards the far goal post!

Hildebrand's reaction was really fast enough, and he quickly made adjustments. He moved a step sideways, kicked out with force on the far side foot, stretched his whole body, and stretched out his hand to throw at the football.

At this time, Hoffenheim fans are pinning their hopes on the goalkeeper who once broke Kahn's record for the longest consecutive time without conceding a goal in the Bundesliga.

Looking forward to him making a world-class save!

But the football fell to the ground in front of Hildebrand's hand, bounced, and flew forward again, passed the palm of Hildebrand's hand, and flew into the... goal behind him! To be continued.
