long live football

Ozil kept running back and forth across the pitch.

Karl's positioning of him is the fulcrum of the midfield.

In the midfield four consisting of Ozil, Lars, Sven, and Shao Jiayi, Ozil is not as breakthrough as Lars, nor is he tall like Sven, who performs well in defense, nor is he as strong as Shao Jiayi. He does not resist any direct confrontation, but he has a talent that far exceeds the other three, and that is the overall situation.

This may be because he is particularly good at playing chess. Chess can always exercise people's brain cells and observation and prediction abilities to the greatest extent.

Of course, this is not to say that Ozil only has the advantage of seeing the overall situation. His direct pass and long pass ability are also very good, and he can often deliver a fatal blow to his teammates that makes the opponent frightened.

The most difficult point in Carr's triangle offense system is how to let the players grasp the distance between each other.In non-stop running, players getting too close to each other will greatly reduce their lethality, and they are easy to be nested by the opponent, but if they are too far apart and cannot be closely connected, they will lose the general layer of quicksilver. The charm of layer advancement.

So someone has to dominate the rhythm of the team.He doesn't have to be in control of the game all the time, he just needs to push when the team needs to change.

When Ozil chooses to press forward or retreat, it directly affects whether the team's next action is to attack or defend.

He is the metronome of midfield.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Dortmund midfielder Klinger dribbled the ball back, Shao Jia fell to the ground and slid the tackle, and the football rolled towards the outside of the field.

Before the football rolled out of the sideline, Lars arrived in time, stopped the ball, rubbed the ball and shot it, and he sent the football to Dortmund's half.

Ozil ran towards Dortmund's half-court. He looked up at the landing point of the football while running. Hook, the football changes direction and flies to the middle.

Seeing that Ozil failed to pass the ball, Kruska immediately let him go and ran towards the football, and Ozil also turned around immediately and broke through to the left of the penalty area.

"I really want to believe that someone can pass the ball so accurately without sufficient preparation. There are several 1860 Munich players waiting at the landing point, but Dortmund is also very vigilant. Rosicky ran towards the landing point. Past...Rosicky...Sven...Dzeko...Dzeko Dzeko Dzeko! Dzeko jumped before everyone and headed the ball into the box!"

Yekas, Portillo, and Ozil arrived at the Dortmund penalty area almost at the same time. The Dortmund defenders hurried forward to fill their positions. They focused their defense on the two forwards, especially the Spaniard.When Portillo got the ball, the defenders swarmed towards him, blocking any gap between him and the goal, but Portillo suddenly turned around and sent the ball to his right rear!

Ozil stretched out his right foot skillfully and pushed the ball into the net!

"TOR! A neat shot! 1860 Munich took the lead at home to Dortmund!"

……

While replaying the goal just now on the big screen of the stadium, all the major TV stations focused their attention on the German Chancellor.

The camera is shooting a close-up shot at the VIP box of the stadium, and Merkel is turning her head to chat happily with the mayor of Dortmund.

When the referee blew his whistle to indicate that the goal was valid, Auer, the chairman of the Munich 1860 club, stood up and cheered loudly for the goal. This action reminded other people in the box. Hands out to applaud.Polite.

"Merkel didn't stand up and cheer for Munich 1860's goal like Auer did, she just looked at the pitch very politely, and then started smiling and applauding... It seems that the team she supports is not the Lions The narrators interpreted Merkel's actions one after another: "Yes, she is now at the Signal Iduna Park Stadium, sitting in Dortmund's VIP box, maybe she is a fan of the Hornets."

……

The atmosphere at the Signal Iduna Park was lively, not only because Dortmund fans never stopped cheering whether the team was in good times or bad, but also because of some... unexpected events.

Violent boos suddenly occurred in a certain stand of the stadium, and a huge banner was slowly raised.

On this banner, the team emblem of Munich 1860 is drawn on one side, and on the other side is a gesture of clenched fists and thumbs down.In European football, pointing the middle finger at someone means insulting, which is expressly banned by FIFA, but pointing the thumb down, although the insult is not so strong, it also has meanings such as ridicule and provocation.

It can be understood that this banner is cursing bad luck in the next game of Munich 1860, or it can be understood that these fans are saying to the Lions: "You can't, you can't win!"

Ever since the banners were hoisted in the stands, the stadium has become boisterous.

The Dortmund fans stopped singing, and together with the thousands of visiting team fans who came from afar, they talked and pointed.

Of course, it cannot be the Lions fans themselves who put up this banner, but it is not Dortmund fans. They all wore various uniforms.

Several stands scanned the small area at the same time, and suddenly, they found a figure in a red jersey!

This is a group of Bayern Munich fans!

As long as the identities are speculated, the reason why this group of Bayern fans appeared in Dortmund's home court is very clear: they are retaliating!

In the last round of the league, Bayern Munich faced Borussia Dortmund, and the fans of Munich 1860 played slogans cheering for Dortmund at their home court.

And now, as the competition between Bayern and the Lions for the league title has reached a fever pitch, Bayern fans will do even more revenge-the fans of Munich 1860 in the last round of the league played banners cheering for third-party teams at their home courts, and This group of southern stars, they even came to the Signal Iduna Park with the Lions fans, disgusting Munich 1860 in person!

3000 Lions fans immediately booed towards the neutral stands, and expressed their dissatisfaction by stomping their feet and waving their arms.

The Bayern fans who were a few hundred meters away laughed triumphantly, and at the same time raised the slogan in their hands higher.

As for the tens of thousands of Dortmund fans, they watched the excitement quietly: the competition between Bayern and the Lions has come to the home court of a third-party team, which is really interesting.

……

The slogans on the stands are too eye-catching, making it difficult for the players on the field to ignore their existence.

The Dortmund players behaved like their fans, whispering a few words to each other, just watching the fun.

As for the 1860 Munich players, some of them find it annoying and some of them feel angry.

Those who are angry think that the way Bayern fans retaliate is too much to find a sense of presence-yes, the Lions fans cheered for Dortmund last week, but it is at their own home court anyway, and I am in charge of my home court.But now, these Bayern fans do not hesitate to spend hundreds of euros on transportation, tickets and accommodation, and come to Dortmund from Munich, not to watch the game or to support Dortmund, just to disgust their city rivals .

... Well, these fans won, their purpose was achieved, and the Lions players were generally uncomfortable.

They shook their heads, put the damn banners in the neutral stands behind them, and continued playing.

At this moment, the banner displayed by the Bayern fans in the stands changed again: it was still a huge white cloth with the team logo of Munich 1860 on one side and the Bundesliga championship award plate on the other side, with a telescope in the middle, meaning... Munich 1860 couldn't win the championship, they could only see the trophy through binoculars.

In the stands, a Dortmund fan said to his friend: "Hey, I think these hundreds of Bayern fans have been more successful in harassing the opponent than us. Look at the Munich players on the pitch. Look over there."

Because of the little tidbits in the stands, some players couldn't help being distracted. At this moment, Dortmund's luck suddenly improved as if they had been blessed by these third-party fans.

First, Dortmund striker Barkley almost ushered in a good start for the team-only a few millimeters away, his shot was about to escape Koch's fingers.

Then in the 35th minute, because of Dante's steal, Dortmund midfielder Jan Kohler suddenly slipped outside the penalty area. The referee awarded the Hornets a free kick. The free kick was taken by Jan Kohler himself. Koch Once again, he played bravely and saved the ball thrillingly.

In the 41st minute, Dortmund launched the last attack of the first half. Smolarek, Jan Koller, and Barkley advanced frequently. They tried to shoot several times but were blocked by the defenders of Munich 1860. As a last resort, Smolar Lake prepares to pass the ball to Rosicky on the left side of the penalty area.

When Smolarek passed the ball, Dante suddenly appeared in front of him and tried to send the ball to the midfield, but the football hit Dante's calf, a refraction, and went out of the baseline.

Dortmund thus awarded a corner.

Tall Lions players such as Dzeko, Lars, and Sven are all crowded in their own penalty area, pushing and jostling with Dortmund players, ready to grab points.

Rosicky, who took the free throw, placed the football at the corner, took a few steps back, then suddenly raised his right hand to gesture to his teammates, and then quickly sent the ball away!

The football flew straight to the place closest to the goal and the place with the most people!

After a burst of pushing, the football was hit by someone, and flew high into the net along the dead corner!

"1:1, Dortmund equalized the score! The goal is..."

Even the commentator didn't see clearly the commotion in the penalty area just now. He used the camera playback to see clearly who shot the goal: "Degen! It turned out that Dortmund's defender Degen was the hero of the team. It was him. With the help of In the chaotic situation just now, he found the gap to ferry the header and sent the ball into the goal. As for Munich 1860 goalkeeper Koch, there are too many goals in front of him, and the two teams are crowded there. There's nothing to do with the header."

……

Merkel once again became the focus of media attention.

She didn't stand up and cheer when Munich 1860 scored. Many people judged that she should be a Dortmund fan, so everyone wanted to see that when Dortmund also scored, Merkel would get up from her seat excitedly what?

Under the shooting of countless shots, the female chancellor of Germany is still sitting in her seat, her sitting posture is stable and meticulous.But she didn't talk to anyone this time, she just clapped her hands with a smile on her face, and at the same time looked around the court intently.

It's not like what a real fan should do when faced with a goal from his own team.

Therefore, many commentators scrambled to publish their "appraisal": "This is a political show. Merkel is neither a fan of Munich 1860 nor a fan of Dortmund, just because this year is the World Cup year, It’s impossible for the Chancellor of Germany to be uninterested in football, so she came to the game just to get a few more votes from the fans’ pockets. That’s the truth, it must be the truth.”

Numerous media fans expressed that they very much agree with this judgment.

……

On the sidelines, Karl reached out to loosen his tie, not paying attention to how many soft screams this action caused in the stands.

He just feels hot.

And a little fidgety.

Before turning around and walking into the tunnel, Carl took one last look at the neutral stands.

Those Bayern fans were still holding up banners and singing loudly. At the moment when the intermission was about to usher in, the voices of these hundreds of fans shook the entire stadium, even louder than Dortmund fans.

Obviously, as Dortmund equalized the score, these fans consciously saw the hope of Bayern winning the cup-if Munich 1860 draws in this game and Bayern wins again, the goal difference of the Lions is not as good as Bayern, and Bayern will eventually win. Take away the champion.

Perhaps they are still thinking that if 1860 Munich did not win the game in the end, then they must have a part in it.

'Sing it, keep singing it. Karl cast his gaze forward with a blank expression, and strode into the passageway, "Sing a little louder...then you will taste the self-defeating taste. '

The players came to the locker room one after another.

Carl waited for them to replenish their strength and water, and asked, "Have you rested?"

The players nodded, thinking that the head coach was about to start giving lectures.

But Karl said to them, "Then get back on the court."

The players' eyes widened, shocked and puzzled.

"Before the game, we had sufficient tactical preparations, and your physical strength and spirit have also been rested through the holiday. I don't think shutting you and me together in this small room for more than ten minutes can change the game. Sexual help. I know there was something fascinating in the stands in the first half, and a few of you looked there a lot, and I even wanted to make a substitution."

Several guilty players lowered their heads unconsciously.

"I want to tell you that whatever happens in the stands during the game, it has nothing to do with you. But I'm afraid that such high-sounding words will not be heard in your heart, so now I want you to go back to the stadium and feel Just look at the cheers of those Dortmund fans and Bayern fans, take all the banners to heart if you can, and realize a little bit—”

Carl opened the door of the locker room: "If you ruin the game today, then the content on the banner will be your fate."
