Chapter 654 Center vs. Center! Gu Ran slides Lewandowski to death!

The game continues.

Liverpool, which conceded a goal at the start, quickly stabilized their position and continued to maintain intensive defense in the half.

The Dortmund Hornets continued to attack like crazy.

Gotze sent a series of fatal passes, and Lewandowski made various breakthroughs after receiving the ball in the frontcourt.

Liverpool's defense was very passive and was pushed to the edge of the cliff several times.

Dortmund's young force almost completely crushed Liverpool. Not to mention Liverpool's chance to counterattack, it was already very difficult to stop Dortmund's violent attack and not lose the ball.

In the 4th minute of the game, Dortmund's third kick came.

First, Royce encountered an interception and turned around to knock back Gundogan, who came forward to support him. After Gundogan got the ball, he immediately passed a long pass to Lewandowski, who had already penetrated into Liverpool's penalty area. Wandowski knocked away Carragher who was guarding him, raised his foot and flicked the ball——

Fortunately, Reina reacted quickly enough and reached out to lift this extremely dangerous shot over the crossbar.

The Red Army fans in Liverpool watched with horror.

Dortmund receives a corner kick.

Gundogan took a corner kick, and center defender Hummels jumped under two Liverpool players, but unfortunately he headed the ball a little wide.

In the 7th minute of the game, Dortmund's fifth shot attack came again!

Lewandowski once again showed his strong ability in the midfield and frontcourt. When Gotze's dribbling was blocked by Gu Ran and unable to break through, Lewandowski quickly retreated to the midfield to respond. Gotze He immediately turned around and pushed the ball to Lewandowski, who immediately dribbled the ball straight into Liverpool's penalty area.

Gu Ran immediately chased and defended Lewandowski.

Lewandowski is extremely fast and physically confrontational, but Gu Ran is faster and more physically confrontational.

Once Lewandowski was close to Gu Ran, he couldn't get away from Gu Ran at all, and he couldn't increase his speed.

Seeing two other Liverpool defenders double-teaming him, Lewandowski could only force a shot when his center of gravity was about to be knocked over by Gu Ran.

The shot missed the goal slightly.

To be honest, without Gu Ran's close pressing, Lewandowski's long shot from outside the penalty area would probably have been successful.

After the ball was shot, Lewandowski lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Gu Ran immediately stopped fighting and generously stretched out his hand to pull Lewandowski up from the turf.

Lewandowski also smiled naively at Gu Ran.

The game continued, and Dortmund's Hornets-style attack continued.

In the tactical area on the sidelines, Liverpool head coach Mourinho was arranging tactics with Sterling in his arms, who seemed to have not yet woken up.

Judging from the gestures, Mourinho seemed to be telling Sterling where the opponent's goal was.

In the 10th minute of the game, Dortmund's sixth shot attack came.

It was Gundogan's precise long pass in the backcourt that found Lewandowski again. Lewandowski relied on his super personal ability to get rid of the double interception of Coutinho and Henderson, and then used The body knocked away the "old Lian Po" Gerrard, and accelerated with the ball to the top of the arc of Liverpool's penalty area.

Just as Lewandowski was about to go deeper, Gu Ran sprinted back from the center position, made a death sliding tackle from Lewandowski's side, and accurately flew the ball out of the baseline. .

Lewandowski was completely unprepared. When he realized that the ball had been scooped away, it was too late. He was thrown into the air by Gu Ran's sliding body and fell heavily to the ground.

This time, it hurt to look at it.

However, Gu Ran did not commit a foul because Gu Ran clearly went for the ball and tackled the ball first. It was Lewandowski who reacted a little slower and tripped over Gu Ran.

The Red Army fans in Liverpool were the first to scream. They were very worried about Gu Ran being injured.

Fortunately, Gu Ran quickly got up, and with a smile, he stretched out his hand to pull the grinning Lewandowski up from the turf.

Lewandowski was frightened.

This death sliding shovel is so fierce, it is completely beast-like style.

Lewandowski really couldn't understand why Gu Ran, a center player, was in the position where a defender should be.

The game continues.

Dortmund's furious attack left Liverpool's players almost breathless.

Dortmund is obviously a defensive and counterattack team, but when they attack with all their strength, they are not polite at all.

This is exactly Klopp's distinctive anti-counterattack strategy - attack hard for 10 minutes to gain an advantage, and then recover your physical fitness. You can grind slowly, play defensive counterattacks, and wait until your physical fitness is almost restored. , just attack hard for another 10 minutes.

This kind of fast-paced and slow-paced tactics can stun countless wealthy teams.

Especially when the team is full of passionate young players, this defensive counterattack style becomes even more passionate. Uncle Zha is also known as the head coach with the most passionate tactical style.

Yes, even a defensive counterattack, which sounds very conservative, can still play a passionate rhythm.

The only weakness of this style of play is: physical strength.

In itself, defensive counterattacks do not consume too much physical energy, but Klopp's 4231 defensive counterattacks are high-pressing defensive counterattacks. In addition, they have to rush hard for 10 minutes at the beginning, so Dortmund's The physical condition declined very quickly. It would take about 35 minutes for Dortmund to recover and continue to have another hard time.

In the 10-minute gap from 35 minutes to 25 minutes, Dortmund can only focus on high-position pressing defense, and only counterattack when there is an opportunity.

Fortunately, Dortmund scored a goal at the beginning, so this tactic of Dortmund is still very effective so far.

After being beaten by Dortmund for 10 minutes, the average team will be frightened and strengthen the defense like a conditioned reflex. When the reaction is that Dortmund is not physically fit enough, Dortmund has basically recovered and can carry out the second round of beating. .

But Liverpool is not an ordinary team, and Mourinho is not an ordinary head coach.

After 10 minutes, Mourinho patted Sterling's butt and signaled Sterling to come on.

The fourth official raised his sign and Liverpool made a substitution.

A sleepy Sterling replaced Henderson.

A substitution was made in the first 10 minutes, and even though Henderson performed well and was not injured, only Mourinho could do this kind of thing.

Henderson's face was full of depression. Being substituted like this was a huge blow to his self-confidence.

But Mourinho took the initiative to hug Henderson when Henderson came off the field and said in Henderson's ear: "Hey, Henderson, you played great, but this is a football game. I need you to sacrifice for me, I need you to sacrifice for the fans, I need you to sacrifice for Liverpool, can you do it?"

Henderson immediately nodded solemnly.

Mourinho patted Henderson on the shoulder and said, "Go sit on the bench, stand tall, don't be depressed, don't be sad, the cameras are watching us."

The game continues!
