Chapter 125 The opponent's generals: He is too difficult to defend!
After Werder Bremen took the lead, Dortmund's counterattack came very fiercely.
Lewandowski, who has scored more than 15 goals in the league this season, was very active in this game.
Lewandowski does not belong to Melo's kind of player with excellent ball ability, so he does not have a strong sense of presence on the court, or in other words, there will not be too many pictures of him in the broadcast footage of the game.
However, this is not to say that Lewandowski is less of a threat than Messi and Ronaldo.
On the contrary, his off-the-ball ability, including running and receiving, pulling, interspersing and grabbing points, is very strong.
Perhaps at this time, these abilities are not yet at the top level, but after a few years, as his skills become more comprehensive, the accumulation of game experience and the use of his body become better, he will be able to Ability to aspire to the throne of the world's number one center forward.
In this game, facing the targets of the Werder Bremen defenders, Lewandowski used his excellent off-ball running ability to find several opportunities to shoot under the opponent's tight defense.
When Gotze was targeted and the team's offensive firepower was severely weakened, Lewandowski relied on his outstanding performance to carry Dortmund's offensive backbone.
This made the scouts of the major giants watching the game shine, and many people wanted to recommend it to their own teams.
Lewandowski is still very young this year, and at the age of 24, he still has at least seven or eight years of golden age.
Buying him back at this time, the team will not have to worry about the front line for a long time in the future!
On the sidelines, Klopp was both happy and worried when he saw Lewandowski's performance.
Lewandowski's performance is so good, he is really worried that other giants will take a fancy to him and take him away forcibly.
With Dortmund's financial resources, if faced with big contracts offered by other giants, Dortmund really can't keep him.
Thinking of Gotze whose contract will expire next summer, Klopp's head will get bigger.
The team began to contact Gotze's agent at the end of January, hoping to complete the contract renewal with the other party.
However, Gotze's response was not very positive, and the contract renewal has not been discussed until now.
This made Dortmund have to wonder, did Gotze have the idea of transferring?
Two years ago, many giants including Barcelona, Real Madrid and Arsenal made offers to Gotze, and Arsenal even offered a high price of 4000 million euros hoping to take him away.
During this winter break, after Manchester City's bid to buy Lin Quan failed, they went to the doctor in a hurry and submitted offers to many clubs, hoping to introduce another superstar to the team.
And Dortmund's Gotze is also within the scope of the other party's offer.
Compared with other clubs, the offer contract submitted by Manchester City is very attractive.
Manchester City not only paid a lot of transfer fees, but also paid extremely high wages to players.
They offer a weekly salary of 33 pounds, which is equivalent to an annual salary of more than 2000 million euros. If Gotze really goes to Manchester City, his annual salary will surpass Eto'o in the Russian Super League and become the first annual salary in football.
Klopp was a little skeptical, was Gotze tempted by the pie drawn by the local tyrants in the Middle East?
If this is the case, then the team may need to prepare for losing Gotze in advance.
Losing a Gotze can seriously hurt Dortmund. If Lewandowski is poached again at this time, the team's offensive system in the frontcourt will be overthrown and reset.
Thinking of this, Uncle Zha's face was full of sorrow.
What is wrong with Dortmund?
Why can't they keep their own stars?
……
On the field, the situation is still somewhat unfavorable for Dortmund.
Although Lewandowski performed very well, he was a bit difficult to support in the frontcourt when Gotze was restricted.
Dortmund's offensive is very fierce, but once it reaches the opponent's penalty area, it is like hitting a solid wall, and it is difficult to penetrate the opponent's defense.
Werder Bremen does not have any special defensive skills, it simply accumulates numbers in the backcourt and uses the number advantage to limit the opponent's attack.
Anyway, they are leading the score now, and they can completely reduce the number of people in the frontcourt, leaving only Arnautovic as the center, and letting Lin Quan lie in ambush at the back, waiting for an opportunity to fight Dortmund's counterattack.
Then a very strange scene appeared on the court:
Borussia Dortmund went on a rampage around Werder Bremen's goal, taking a lot of shots but few threatening ones.
On the other hand, on Werder Bremen's side, there are very few counterattack opportunities, and every time they can turn Dortmund's backcourt upside down.
If it weren't for the outstanding performance of Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller, Dortmund might have scored more than one goal.
The 33-year-old Weidenfeller is still in his prime.
With his outstanding performance this season, he made his first start for the German team in the national team friendly match between Germany and England last month, becoming the oldest player in the history of Germany's national team.
"Cheer up, don't give them such a chance to fight back!"
Once again he saved Lin Quan's high-quality long-range shot, Weidenfeller broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help shouting at his teammates, reminding them to pay attention to man-marking and not to miss people.
The Dortmund defenders all looked ugly and bitter in their hearts:
marking?I also want to look after that guy and not give him a chance to shoot.
But the question is, can it be done?
With Schmelzer injured and unable to play, Dortmund has an obvious loophole in the full-back position.
And Lin Quan is the kind of player with a high golf quotient. After discovering this loophole of the opponent, he naturally grabbed it and beat him to death, and would not give Dortmund a chance to breathe.
It can't go on like this!
On the surface, it seems that Dortmund has the advantage. Whether it is the number of shots, the number of shots on target, the ball possession rate and other data, they are all in the lead.
But in fact Werder Bremen's offensive threat is greater!
They can't always expect the goalkeeper to continue his god-level performance and save all the opponent's shots, can they?
Seeing that his long shot was bravely saved by the goalkeeper, Lin Quan shook his head.
While retreating, he was thinking about the shortcomings of the shot just now.
Weidenfeller's performance today is indeed very good, his reaction speed is very fast, and the position he chooses when defending is also very good.
If it is just a long shot from the outside of the penalty area, it may not be enough to threaten his goal.
Therefore, for the next attack, he must enter the penalty area to create a better chance to score!
In the 43rd minute of the first half, Lewandowski carried the defensive player in the penalty area and forcibly turned around. A low-level shot was firmly saved by the goalkeeper.
Millitz didn't lie down on the ground to waste time, he jumped up quickly, and shouted loudly while running outside:
"Lin, watch the ball!"
As he spoke, he threw the ball out.
Lin Quan once saw Neuer's ultra-long-range hand throw in the game against Bayern, but he didn't expect his teammate Millitz to do this trick.
He looked up at the flight trajectory of the football, and after judging the landing point, he accelerated towards Dortmund's backcourt.
Werder Bremen's counterattack this time was more sudden and fierce than the previous few times, and it just caught the time node of the transition between the two sides' offense and defense.
This made many Dortmund players too late to retreat because they had just participated in the offense.
Although Dortmund's players saw Werder Bremen's counterattack, they immediately chose to retreat across the board.
The execution and discipline of such an excellent team is indeed admirable.
However, most of Dortmund's players are far away from Lin Quan, and there is no way to interfere with him immediately and hinder his advancement.
At this time, there are only 3 defensive players left in Dortmund's backcourt, the midfielder Gundogan and two central defenders.
Dort's midfielder Jing Duoan was the closest to Lin Quan, and he rushed up to intercept Lin Quan.
But Lin Quan dunked the ball after receiving the ball, kicked the ball out and chose to use his speed to force him directly. Jing Duoan's pounce was too fierce. He didn't expect the opponent to make such a choice and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Lin Quan's jersey still didn't grab him, don't let Lin Quan use his speed to pass him by.
After passing Gundogan, Lin Quan took a few steps forward, and he had already reached the 30-meter dangerous area of Dortmund.
Because Lin Quan had shot a few long shots here before, Dortmund captain Hulmes, who had already retreated into the penalty area, did not dare to be careless, and immediately leaned over, intending to hold Lin Quan down and buy time for his teammates to retreat.
Dortmund's players are very fast. As long as he can delay for two or three seconds, his teammates will be able to make up the defense. At that time, the threat of Werder Bremen's counterattack will be reduced to the minimum.
And there is another advantage of leaving the penalty area, that is, when necessary, he can use fouls to destroy Werder Bremen's counterattack.
Although fouling in this position is likely to result in a card, it is worth the price to exchange a yellow card for a highly threatening counterattack.
Lin Quan didn't know what Hummels was thinking, but he knew that he couldn't be held back by the opponent.
So he immediately handed the ball to the right foot, and at the same time shifted his center of gravity forward, making a posture that was ready to rush from the right.
Hummels faced the dilemma of many defenders defending Lin Quan:
How to judge whether the opponent's breakthrough action is real or fake?
The opponent's actions are too real, not like fake actions at all.
If this is an ordinary player, Hummels will definitely make a move without hesitation.
However, this is no ordinary player, this is Lin Quan, the striker with the highest one-on-one success rate in the entire Bundesliga.
Thinking of this, he held back and did not act rashly.
But if he didn't step out, Lin Quan would not be polite.
Just when Hummels was hesitating, Lin Quan turned his fake action into reality and rushed past him.
The audience at the scene was in an uproar. From their point of view, it was as if Dortmund's captain was releasing water. Facing Lin Quan's breakthrough, he didn't make any moves, and let the opponent pass him like a wooden man.
"Hehe, this trick again!"
In the live broadcast room of CCTV, Duan Xuan couldn't help laughing when he saw Lin Quan passing Hummels with ease.
His partner Xu Yang also laughed at the side:
"Although Lin Quan's move looks very simple, it is impossible to guard against. His fake moves are just like real ones. It is difficult for defenders to judge which of his moves is fake and which one is real!"
"Yes, for the defenders, they must be careful when defending, because once they make a mistake in their judgment, it is very likely that they will lose the ball."
Although the two made some explanations, they believed that the responsibility for the ball was not on Hummels.
But on post bars and forums, there are still many fans shouting about match-fixing.
"Ball-fixing, it's too fake. Putting a wooden man on it is more effective than flirtatiousness!"
"That's right. Fortunately, this guy is still the captain of Dortmund. Are you worthy of the captain's armband on your body and us?"
"Ahem, the two upstairs are so angry, could it be that they overwhelmed Dortmund to win?"
As soon as this comment came out, the few netizens who had made a lot of noise before suddenly stopped talking.
As a result, other netizens joked:
"Hehe, it's Galen upstairs commenting softly, silent and armor-breaking!"
"That's right, just silence the few above!"
When passing Hummels, Lin Quan also rushed into the penalty area.
Looking up at the goalkeeper's position, he made a gesture to hit the goal before another central defender Subotic blocked him.
Subotic immediately raised his foot to block, and the goalkeeper also kicked his legs hard, ready to save.
But Lin Quan was just bluffing. After tricking both of them into making corresponding moves, he really shot.
The football flew to the upper right corner of the goal. The speed was not fast, but the angle was very tricky.
Dortmund's goalkeeper jumped high, fully stretched his body, and reached his limit.
But it is a pity that he is still a little short of the football, and can only watch helplessly as the football bypasses his fingertips and flies into the net!
It's a pity that it's just a little short!
If he hadn't been swayed before, with Weidenfeller's state in this game, he might really have a chance to save this goal.
But there is no word if in the arena!
Seeing that Lin Quan scored the second goal towards the end of the first half, the fans at the Weser Stadium were all excited.
If it is said that when the team led by one goal before, they were still a little nervous.
So at this time, with the advantage of two goals in hand, the fans of the Parrot Legion feel that the game is stable.
Half the game, leading the opponent by two goals!
And it's still in his own home court, can he still be overthrown by his opponent?
The coaching staff and players of Werder Bremen are also very happy, but they have not forgotten that the champagne was almost reversed by the opponent in the last halftime.
So they didn't dare to be careless at all, and continued to maintain the same high-intensity defense as before, not giving Dortmund any chance.
There was not much time left in the first half after their celebrations. After Dortmund completed a hasty attack, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
The players of both sides returned to their respective locker rooms, and during the break, they all listened attentively to the tactical arrangements of their respective head coaches.
In Dortmund's locker room, after Klopp explained the team's tactical play in the second half, he called out Gotze alone:
"Mario, the team needs you to stand up!"
Gotze nodded. He also knew that his performance in the first half was not good, and he blamed himself in his heart.
However, Werder Bremen's defense against him was too targeted, and he couldn't find a good way to break the opponent's cage.
Seeing Gotze's reaction, Klopp sighed in his heart.
Not every player is as smart as Lin Quan. When Bayern used this tactic to limit him, he quickly found a way to deal with it.
But Gotze...
Thinking of this, even if he is partial to Gotze in his heart, Klopp has to admit that there seems to be a big gap between Gotze and Lin Quan.
It would have been nice if Royce hadn't been injured, then the team would not have been so limited offensively.
