Champion’s Heart

PS, sorry, I forgot to set up automatic updates. In addition, the chapter name yesterday was wrong. It should be an unexpected appearance in Chapter 104. I have asked the editor to modify it. It may take a while to refresh it...

When Wagner ran onto the court, he saw Zhou Yi's eyes on him, and he gave a thumbs up in return.

Seeing his thumb, Zhou Yi laughed.

He knew that everything was fine with Mark. What he was most worried about before was that Mark would think too much, which would affect his performance.

After Mark came on, Dortmund made some slight adjustments to its formation.

After all, Gotze and Mark actually play different positions. Simply letting Mark and Gotze make substitutions is not a good choice.

After the adjustment, Zhou Yi moved slightly to the left, but did not go to the left. He was more like a midfielder leaning to the left.

Mark is roaming behind Lewandowski, his position is not very fixed.

It seems that Dortmund's formation has become less symmetrical, as if it is tilting to the right, which will make people worry about whether Dortmund will lack offensive power on the left.

But Klopp is not worried about such problems.

Before this game, the team's left back was absent due to injury. The starting left back in this game was Grosskreutz.

Grosskreutz played as a forward when he first debuted in the youth team, but after coming to Dortmund's first team, he played as a full-back. At that time, when Gotze had not yet emerged, Zhou Yi's midfield partners were Grosskreutz and Kuba. Two people, one on the left and one on the right.

But I don’t know since when, Grosskreutz can play in more and more positions. When the team encounters injuries, there is really no suitable candidate, so Klopp always I would have thought of Grosskreutz making a temporary cameo.

The idiot Big Cross who is loyal to Dortmund will never refuse to say that he is not suitable to play these positions. Anyway, he will play if the head coach asks him to play. As long as he can contribute to Dortmund, he will not care about personal gains and losses.

Now he has played in different positions such as forward, left midfielder, full midfielder and defensive midfielder. Before this game, Owomoyela was injured, and he was reminded by head coach Klopp and put him at left back. position.

Grosskreutz is actually a player who is stronger in offense than defense, so even if he plays as a left back, he sometimes can't restrain his inner passion and rushes up to play like a left midfielder. This is his A once familiar location.

Zhou Yi moved slightly to the left, but did not go to the wing. This gave Grosskreutz room to sprint, making it easier for him to attack along the left corridor. At the same time, it was easier for Zhou Yi to approach him and add more changes to his offense.

So in fact, this position not only did not weaken Dortmund's offense on the left, but actually strengthened it.

It's just that many people haven't seen this through and figured it out.

Everyone just thinks Dortmund's adjusted formation is strange, and they don't understand why Klopp would do this.

In such an important game as the Ruhr area derby, will the team suddenly change to such a strange formation, will it be an important reason for the team to lose the game?

If the team loses the game because the players are not adapted to such tactics, will Klopp take the responsibility?

※※※

Outsiders cannot understand this adjustment and are full of doubts. But for the Dortmund players, there is nothing uncomfortable.

In fact, you can understand it another way - when attacking, Grosskreutz comes in and becomes a full midfielder, and Dortmund's formation becomes 352.

In the first half, Grosskreutz mainly acted as a defender. Occasionally he couldn't suppress his inner passion before rushing forward. After participating in the attack, he had to quickly return to defense. It was difficult to organize multiple waves of offense on the left.

But now Klopp used this adjustment to tell Grosskreutz,

When the team is attacking, he just needs to boldly move forward and seek cooperation with Zhou Yi to make a difference, instead of just going straight up and down.

Sure enough, after the game restarted, Grosskreutz consciously moved forward more, and he didn't have to worry about losing the ball when he moved forward, resulting in a huge gap behind him that Schalke 04 took advantage of. Because there is Zhouyi. If he encounters difficulties and it is difficult to move forward, he can pass the football to Zhou Yi and let Zhou Yi make the decision.

And Zhou Yi is like a magnet. After getting the ball, he will attract all the Schalke 04 defensive players around him. In this way, the obstacles Grosskreutz originally faced no longer exist, and he can continue to move forward. Rush forward, and Zhou Yi can pass the football to him. At the same time, his continued forward movement may also attract Schalke 04's defensive power and create some space for Zhou Yi to develop football in other directions.

It was like this at the beginning. Grosskreutz moved forward and passed the football to Zhou Yi after encountering an obstacle. Zhou Yi naturally attracted the attention of other Schalke 04 players including Yang Muge. They all thought Zhou Yi moved closer, but the left wing was relatively empty. Grosskreutz moved forward decisively, and Zhou Yi also decisively passed the football, causing Grosskreutz's breakthrough.

After getting the ball, Grosskreutz can break through by himself or make a cross. No matter what he does, he can threaten Schalke 04's goal.

After doing this several times, Schalke 04 found that Dortmund's offensive after substitutions not only did not weaken, but became stronger.

They had to re-examine this side. After Gotze left the field, not only was this side not abandoned, it became more active!

The commentators saw it more clearly from their high position. Marcel Leif said: I didn't expect Grosskreutz to become active. He repeatedly sent high-quality passes on the wing. Zhou Yi and Grosskreutz Reutz's cooperation on the left makes Schalke 04 very uncomfortable!

It was another attack from the left. After Grosskreutz received Zhou Yi's pass, he made a direct pass to Lewandov in front of the goal with a 45-degree diagonal pass. Ski, the Schalke 04 defenders collectively wanted to retreat, but he dunked hard and turned it into a breakthrough!

This startled the Schalke 04 defenders and rushed towards him. Facing the two Schalke 04 defenders who rushed towards him, Grosskreutz looked up and saw him quietly retreating to the area of ​​the penalty arc. Mark, his not tall figure is hidden in the crowd and does not look very conspicuous.

So Grosskreutz no longer hesitated and sent the football out directly, pushing it sideways to Mark.

Mark Wagner!! Marcel Leif shouted when Mark got the ball, because there was a big gap next to Mark.

The Schalke 04 defenders in front of him were all brought to the goal by Lewandowski, while the Schalke 04 midfielder behind him was attracted by Zhou Yi. The place.

This was an excellent opportunity. Mark adjusted and took a long shot!

The shot football passed through the crowd in the penalty area and flew to the near corner of the goal.

Schalke 04 goalkeeper Onner Staal's sight was blocked by the defenders in front of him, so his reaction was half a beat slow. When he pounced on the ball, he could no longer pounce on the football.

But fortunately, the football did not fly into the goal, but flew out of the bottom line by grazing the goal post!

What a danger! Mark Wagner made a sudden shot from outside the penalty area! He almost equalized the score for Dortmund! He got such a good opportunity not long after he came on the field. Judging from this shot, his condition Seems pretty good!”

The TV broadcast quickly gave Mark a close-up shot. In the shot, Mark was very upset that he could not score the goal. He put his head in his hands and looked up to the sky with a sigh. But then he did not forget to give a thumbs up to Grosskreutz who passed the ball to him, indicating that he had passed the ball well just now.

Turning around, he saw Zhou Yi giving him a thumbs up.

It was a beautiful shot, but it was not powerful, but the angle was very tricky! Zhou Yi praised his performance in the shot just now. What he said was not just a polite remark, but he really hit the mark. Advantages of Mark's kick.

Some people will choose to volley hard at that time, but when there are so many people in the penalty area, it is easy to hit people. If you want to avoid the crowd, it is easy to kick outside the goal frame. Mark chose a clever shot. It was not fast, but the angle was very tricky and the shot was very sneaky. As evidenced by the fact that Schalke 04 goalkeeper Angnestal did not react immediately.

Being able to kick such a ball fully shows that Mark's mind did not go blank, he did not panic, and there was no X**T when he shot. He finally chose the best option after careful consideration.

With this kick, he can be sure that Mark is in good condition today. Zhou Yi is full of confidence in his next performance.

This is the Mark he is very familiar with. He has no advantage in height, strength or speed, but he can still score goals. Why? Because he runs smart and plays smart.

Mark used to have no self-confidence and felt that he had no talent, but in fact he was far more powerful than he thought.
