Chapter 128 Fatal Problem

When Dortmund showed their offensive and determination within more than ten minutes of the opening game, many people were frightened.

Dortmund fans in the stands kept cheering for the team, and some people online were surprised that Dortmund was so powerful.

But the so-called laymen watch the excitement, while the expert sees the tricks.

Guardiola, an expert, saw their weakness from Dortmund's "bluff" offensive.

Dortmund's fatal problem lies in the back line.

Although Klopp finally put together the defense line of four people, the four people have been practicing together for too short, and they especially lack tactical training. This leads to problems with their mutual defense and replacement.

In Guardiola's view, this is a point that can be grasped and exploited.

When Dulm and Groskreuz pressed up, there would be huge gaps behind them. In order to fill this gap, Dortmund's two midfielders in this game had to frequently go to the wing to make up for defense, so the midfield would appear much empty.

And this empty midfield area is something Bayern Munich can use.

Before the game, he asked his team to be patient and not to worry.

But now it seems that he is going to modify his tactical arrangements.

Since Dortmund's weakness has been found, we must take his life while he is sick!

Guardiola seized a chance to die and called Javi Martinez to his side to teach the opportunity in person.

※※※

Klopp turned his head and saw Guardiola whispering in Martinez's ear. He didn't know what Guardiola said to Martinez, but his intuition told him that it was definitely not a chat.

He looked at the stadium again.

Dortmund didn't seize several opportunities in a row just now, and the situation would only get worse and worse.

What's worse is that in the face of such a situation, he, the head coach, can not do much.

※※※

After Guardiola asked Xavi Martinez to play, he conveyed the latest instructions to his teammates - when Bayern Munich gained possession in his half, Lewandowski, Robben and Muller, who were in front, had to rush forward to the frontcourt quickly and wait for the pass from the midfield.

Ram quickly passed the ball forward to Kroos and Martinez from the connection point between defense and midfield.

Guardiola's arrangement is aimed at the current situation of Dortmund's defense line.

Dortmund's usual defense is dynamic and often takes risks to press and stop the attack. However, there is also a problem with such defense, that is, it will expose more space behind you. However, the defense line composed of Hummels, Subotic, Schmelze and Piszczek has been working together for many years, and it is quite tacit, so even if you have time, it will always be filled quickly.

And now this line of defense, Klopp is worried that they lack communication and cannot make up for the gap quickly, so in this game, he took a four-man defense line setting with parallel positions.

Four people stay on the same line and advance and retreat together. This benefit is that they can ensure the integrity of the defense and avoid too much space or loopholes behind the defense line.

But the problem is that doing so will give Bayern Munich a large space in front of the defense line, which is deadly...

When Bayern Munich completed the adjustment, the situation on the field quickly reversed.

Dortmund's threatening shot was gone, replaced by Bayern Munich's aggressive offensive.

Especially Bayern Munich's two full-backs, in response to the adjustment of Gros Kreuz and Dulm's assist, Bayern Munich's two full-backs Rafinia and Alaba continued to step forward behind the Dortmund's defense line, connecting Bayern Munich's counterattack.

Facing Bayern Munich's offensive, once Dortmund was pushed into the second half, he could only struggle to hold on and the situation took a sharp turn.

Duan Xin said worriedly: "It won't work if this continues. Once Dortmund turns to attack and defense, all the problems on their defense will be exposed. Look at this ball!"

Before he finished speaking, Alaba broke through Groskreuz on the wing and sent out a cross.

Lewandowski jumped high in front of the goal, beat Papastasopoulos and headed the ball!

Weidenfeller made a wonderful save and put the close-kick header to the crossbar with his single palm!

"It's so dangerous! It's so dangerous! Lewandowski almost headed the ball to break through the old club's goal!" Duan Xin breathed a long sigh.

Marcel Leif pointed out that this is not the first time Alaba broke through Dortmund's wing defense: "...Dormund's four defenders still have a lack of tacit cooperation. For example, in the ball just now, Friedrich is too far from Groskreuz, allowing Alaba to make easy moves in one-on-one, and make sure to break through boldly... If this continues, something will happen!"

Not long afterwards, Bayern Munich got another good opportunity at the forefront of Dortmund's penalty area.

After Thomas Muller broke through on the left, he suddenly passed the football to the middle. Lewandowski overwhelmed Dortmund's defense line in the penalty area, resulting in a lack of protection in the front of the penalty area. Tony Cross shot without any signing!

The ball rolled against the grass to the right gate post, and finally it just tilted a little bit, rubbed the gate post and flew out of the bottom line!

"Cross-oh! It's so lingering!" Duan Xin was startled. When the football passed by goalkeeper Weidenfeller, he almost thought the ball was about to enter...

※※※

In the 34th minute, Bayern Munich gained possession in the backcourt. The midfielder Xavi Martinez, who took the ball, did not pass the ball to Ram and let him push it close. Instead, he looked up at the situation in the frontcourt and passed it directly with a long diagonal pass, passing the ball to the right side of the frontcourt!

There, Dulm left a huge gap after stepping forward to participate in the attack. Since he wanted to protect the area in front of the defense line, Sven Bend did not go to the side this time, so an opportunity here appeared.

Here, Robben is running forward at high speed!

Then he received a precise long pass from Martinez.

After removing the football with his feet, Robben's speed did not decrease and he directly dribbled the ball into the penalty area!

"Robben! Robben is here!"

Friedrich and Papastasopoulos chased after him one after another, goalkeeper Weidenfell also decisively abandoned the goal and planned to block Robben's shot.

Just as Robben was about to bring the ball to the small penalty area, he kicked the ball!

It was not a strong volley, nor a low shot against the grass, but a sling shot!

The football passed over Weidenfeller's head from the air and flew directly to the back point of the goal.

Groskreuz struggled to chase back, trying to save the football in front of the goal line, but his foot stretched out did not touch the football!

The football fell into the goal in front of him!

"Aljan Robben--!!" Marcel Leif roared in a long voice. "TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

When the football flew into the goal, West** Stadium fell into an extremely short silence, and then there was endless booing, overwhelmingly attacking everyone...

※※※

Seeing the ball lost, Klopp leaned back.

He is actually mentally prepared to concede the ball, but if he can choose, he still hopes not to concede the ball.

But this requirement is too high for the defense line.

The goal just now was a problem on the defense line.

Of course, this is not the defenders, it is a problem with their own tactical arrangements. But is there any other better way besides this arrangement? If it is not to push out the offense, but to shrink the defense, maybe Dortmund will concede the ball in less than 34 minutes.

And now this situation is a price that you can think of when arranging tactics and must bear...

He bet his team would score before Bayern Munich scored, but he lost the bet.

He was willing to accept the loss of the bet, but he was not very upset, but he was just a little regretful.

※※※

On the side of Bayern Munich, Guardiola jumped up and slapped the crowd around to celebrate after scoring the goal.

This is a goal that happened after his targeted adjustments, which fully demonstrates that his adjustments are targeted.

As a coach, this is the time when you are most accomplished.

Next, he looked back at the stadium.

Since you have already led by one goal, the next step is to score more goals, completely breaking Dortmund's temporary patchwork of defense!

He could see the wonderful scene.
Chapter completed!
