On the evening of October 24th, West*** Stadium.

In the third round of the Champions League group stage D, Real Madrid challenged Dortmund away.

In the locker room before the game, Klopp won the Real Madrid roster, which surprised him.

"It's not Fermuren." Klopp frowned.

It is not surprising or uncommon to guess the wrong lineup of the opponent, but it is not surprising to guess the wrong lineup of Real Madrid can be big or small.

Judging from the roster, Ancelotti's goalkeeper in this game was still Casillas, the central defender was still a combination of Pepe and Ramos, the midfield was David Silva, the Spanish combination of Xavi Martinez and Xavi Alonso, and the frontcourt was Hazard, Yang Yang and Di Maria.

The only thing that is puzzled is that Ancelotti lets Azpilicueta and Carvajal play at the same time.

What does this mean?

Who is the two of them standing on the left?

Kavajal is good at attacking and Azpilicueta is good at defending. Who will appear on the left side?

This is really a headache puzzle.

Dortmund's lineup is also the main players tonight. The goalkeeper is Weidenfeller, the defense is Schmelze, Hummels, Subotic and Piszczek, the midfield is double midfielder Svenbend and Sebastian Kyle. Both midfielders are known for their defense, while the frontcourt is Groskreuz, Goze and Reus, and the single forward is Lewandowski.

It should be said that this is the strongest lineup that Dortmund can rank.

"Now there is no choice, I can't hesitate, I can only stick to it." Buvac said.

Klopp nodded.

For this game, he even gave up the league last weekend, resulting in Dortmund losing at home because he knew very well that in the face of Bayern Munich, who had eight consecutive victories in the domestic league, the possibility of Dortmund's victory this season was very slim. On the contrary, in the Champions League, the Hornets could still make a rush.

This is not only Klopp's idea, but also the Dortmund management's idea, because only by the results of the Champions League can you get rich.

"Persist in the original tactical style and see what Ancelotti is doing."

...

The atmosphere of Dortmund's home court was very terrifying. Nearly 66,000 fans sat or stood, making overwhelming sounds in the stands, sweeping across the entire stadium, as if even the world was trembling.

The Hornets have many similarities with Real Madrid. For example, both teams are very young, both good at passing through the midfield with fast and concise transmission, both good at pressing and oppressing at high positions, both good at defensive counterattacks, and both good at two wings...

Too many similarities make this game more exciting and suspenseful.

But at the beginning of the game, everyone was surprised to find the changes in Dortmund.

At its home court, the Hornets suddenly stopped pressing high and no longer emphasized the pressure on the midfield and frontcourt. Instead, they decisively took a retreat and fell, contracted their defense, and took the initiative to give up the ball in the midfield, allowing Real Madrid to pass the midfield smoothly.

This is a very unexpected thing, because Dortmund has always liked to press forward, suddenly retracted, and took the initiative to give up the ball, focusing on defending counterattacks. This has to be said to be a very puzzling thing.

Real Madrid started the game and tried to be stable, but unexpectedly, his opponent took the initiative to show weakness, which caught the Galaxy warships off guard. They did not take the initiative to push forward at the beginning, but instead advanced slowly. It was not until the fifth minute that Real Madrid completed the first shot of the game, from Di Maria's volley on the right side of the penalty area.

It was not until the eleventh minute that Dortmund made its first organized attack and advanced to Real Madrid's 30-meter area. After receiving the ball from the right, Reus tried to forcibly break through Azpilicueta, but failed. Instead, he fell into a state of isolation on the right and was forced to hit the Spanish defender and bounced out of the bottom line.

Then, Dortmund's corner kick formed a shot but failed to pose a threat.

...

"Klopp should be surprised now, right?" Zidane smiled.

What he mentioned was not a breakthrough on the court, but Azpilicueta appeared on the left.

The Spanish defender has always played right back, but he is proficient in both left and right feet. After Marcelo and Avelloa were injured, Ancelotti tried it and made him play the left back. As a result, he performed well in training.

Despite this, Ancelotti was still not at ease enough, because defense against Dortmund was very important, so he tried to let Fermall play the left back, but when he was against Vigo Celta, Fermall performed more on the left side, so let Azpilicueta tonight.

Real Madrid's game strategy is very simple. Azpilicueta on the left is good at defending, while Hazard suppresses in the front court, and overall he is still mainly defending, but Di Maria and Carvajal on the right is to attack with all his strength, attack Real Madrid's threat from the right, and suppress Dortmund's left defender Schmelze.

Klopp is also a head coach who dares not take risks easily. Even at home, facing Real Madrid in the remnants of the team, he still has two defensive midfielders, which shows how afraid he is of Real Madrid.

But tonight, Real Madrid did not come to win, but wanted to win!

…………

…………

Real Madrid played very well at the opening.

Dortmund took the initiative to retreat to defense, and Real Madrid successfully controlled the ball and the situation, mainly Carvajal and Di Maria on the right, launching offensives one after another.

First, Yang Yang received a pass from Kavajal, and his long shot was saved by goalkeeper Weidenfell from the baseline. Then, two consecutive corner kicks were in danger. Although he did not score, it was still surprising.

Then Hazard forced a breakthrough on the left and passed it to the penalty area. Yang Yang headed the ball near the penalty spot, but under the attack of Hummels and Subotic, although Yang Yang grabbed the landing point, he failed to make the effort.

Two minutes later, Di Maria received a pass from Kavajal on the right side of the penalty area, turned around and took the ball out of the double-team of three Dortmund defensive players, and then shot with his left foot.

Unfortunately, the last shot was indeed a bit unbearable and he was shot away directly.

But Di Maria's wonderful performance on the right side of the penalty area won unanimous recognition from Real Madrid players, and Yang Yang even gave him a thumbs up.

Di Maria's ability is obvious to all, but it is the last one.

Yang Yang had already run to the position just now. If he had not shot directly, but chose to pass the ball, Yang Yang could turn around and kick directly as soon as he stopped. Unfortunately, Di Maria probably did not see Yang Yang at that time.

In any case, Real Madrid is becoming more and more active in the frontcourt, and the right side firmly suppresses Dortmund's left side.

The Hornets made several counterattacks and tried to pass through Real Madrid's left side, but Azpilicueta defended against Reus without any chance of performing.

But just when Real Madrid had the advantage, in the 25th minute, Harvey Martinez was fighting for the top spot with Lewandowski. When landing, he was accidentally injured and could not hold on and was forced to replace him.

This made Real Madrid players on the court feel a little disappointed. No one expected how long it took to hurt another one.

Ancelotti quickly made adjustments, and Mascherano came on the court and replaced Javi Martinez.

After Yang Yang walked over to see off the limping Harvey Martinez, he welcomed his old comrade-in-arms Mascherano, and at the same time began to constantly boost the team's morale.

"Everyone is cheering up. The game has just begun. We must win!" Yang Yang shouted loudly.

Then, Yang Yang walked towards Hazard again.

"Their two central defenders are taller than me and stronger than me. I have no advantage in head-on fight. Next, I will expand the scope of activities. I need you to cooperate, run more, and intersperse more gaps. Do you understand?" Yang Yang asked.

The two have established a preliminary tacit understanding in previous training and competitions. Although they cannot reach the kind of sympathy between Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic, and cannot achieve the kind of tacit understanding between Yang Yang and Robben and Di Maria, at least they can be considered to be aware of the bottom line.

Hazard knew in his heart that after Yang Yang expanded his range of activities, he would no longer fix himself in the middle of the frontcourt. At this time, he and Di Maria need to intersperse the gap he pulled out. Whether it is inserting himself into the attack or creating opportunities for Yang Yang to reverse, they need to adjust their playing style.

"Don't worry, I know how to do it." Hazard nodded solemnly.

Yang Yang patted Hazard on the shoulder, "If you have the chance, hit it yourself, you can."

After saying that, Yang Yang gave an encouraging smile, which made Hazard feel warm.

In Real Madrid's team, there is only one person with unlimited firepower, that is Yang Yang.

He can use his own judgment on the situation and at any time and under any circumstances, he can hit the ball at will. Everyone in the team will support and cooperate with him.

This does not come from the management, the coaching staff, or the privileges brought by Yang Yang's own status and influence, but the confidence of everyone in him, which Yang Yang has established and cultivated through games over the past three years, can even be said to be dependent on him.

For example, this season, Yang Yang scored 17 goals in the league, ranking second and had six more goals than Messi, who just scored a hat-trick, and eight more goals than Falcao, and far ahead of other scorers in the four major European leagues.

What a terrible data this is?

But now, Yang Yang is encouraging Hazard to shoot more, which shows Yang Yang's mind and also represents his meaning. If he has the chance, he will pass and assist Hazard.

But Hazard obviously didn't know that Yang Yang has never been a selfish person. On the contrary, he hoped that he would have a group of outstanding teammates around him. Hazard was excellent in all aspects, but he lacked some scoring**.

Yang Yang has always wanted to stimulate his desire.

After half an hour of running-in and adjustment, both parties began to gradually understand each other's ideas.

Yang Yang knew in his heart that Dortmund just wanted to shrink his defense and then make a quick counterattack.

So he began to expand his range of activities, drive his teammates around him, and increase the pressure of the frontcourt.
Chapter completed!
