Chapter 3082 Strike when the iron is hot! The troublesome Wolfsburg!
Ten Hag's words perfectly illustrate one point: all's fair in war!
They said they would treat every match like a final.
But this lineup is definitely not meant to be played like it's a final...
However, the long season is not a 100-meter sprint, but a marathon.
To win more championships, reasonable rotation is essential.
I just don't know if it will be like Chelsea... helping strong teams find their weaknesses and boosting the confidence of weaker teams.
They can beat the title favorites in the previous game, but lose to a relegation-threatened team in the next.
Of course, the Premier League doesn't tolerate idlers.
What about the Bundesliga?
Can Wolfsburg, currently fourth in the league, defend their home ground?
"Beep!"
"With the referee's whistle, the match officially begins!"
"We see Wolfsburg kick off first!"
With Zhan Jun's commentary, the match officially began!
As previously mentioned, Glasna's tactical philosophy revolves around high-pressure pressing and rapid transitions between attack and defense, emphasizing the ability to quickly create second-chance opportunities through pressure and counter-pressing in the attacking third.
Their attack emphasizes speed and depth, often using through balls or balls behind the defense to penetrate the flanks and the space behind the defense!
He even encouraged confrontation!
At the start of the match, Wolfsburg decisively pressed forward on the attack.
Knowing that Dortmund had a crucial match next, they knew Dortmund wouldn't go all out against them.
Since that's the case, then we should suppress them.
To exhaust Dortmund's players as much as possible.
The idea was excellent, and the results of its implementation were also remarkable.
Because they had a tall center forward, Weghorst, they started crossing the ball frequently.
The results weren't great.
5 minutes 42 seconds.
The ball had just entered the penalty area when it was headed away by Akanji, giving the opponent a corner kick opportunity!
Left winger Yannick Gerhardt takes the corner kick.
The two tall players on the back line immediately rushed up from the backfield.
Today, Wolfsburg has two defenders, one of whom is US international John Brooks, who is 194cm tall.
Another one is French player Lacroix, who is also 190cm tall!
With the addition of the 197cm tall Weghorst, Dortmund's high ground in the penalty area was temporarily covered!
Actually, Ten Hag considered using Zagadou before the match.
After all, he is taller than both Akanji and Hummels.
Knowing that the opponent preferred to attack from behind, Ten Hag dared not gamble.
Zagadou is still too clumsy...
"Beep!"
The whistle sounded again.
Gerhardt quickly started his run from the corner area.
"Boom!"
The football flew to the near post with a whistling sound!
This time, it was the 184cm tall midfielder, Arnold, who made the header!
The soccer ball was hit hard by him!
"boom!"
The football immediately flew towards the near post!
Onana, who was in front of the goal, thought they were going to find the middle, and the moment he saw where the ball was going to land, he immediately moved forward.
As the football flew towards him, his hand had already touched it...
but!
The football still struck his hand and bounced into the goal!
"Goooooooooal!!!"
The shouts of the on-site commentator immediately resounded throughout the venue.
The Volkswagen Arena, which can only hold 30,000 people, was transformed into a sea of joy.
Small courts have their advantages.
The atmosphere became even more lively!
After scoring, Arnold rushed to the fans and roared wildly.
The little bear is so cute!
The players swarmed forward!
"Wolfsburg took the lead at home after just 7 minutes!"
"The goal was scored by their midfielder, Arnold!"
"As a product of Wolfsburg's youth academy, this is the best way he can repay the team!"
While Zhan Jun was giving his passionate commentary, Zhang Lu was already looking for problems!
"The marking in defense was poor this time, and there was a lack of protection at the near post... Ten Hag has suffered from this several times before, but he hasn't improved!"
"It seems we still need Emre Can to play defensive midfield; he's also a tall player!"
“Yes!” Zhan Jun nodded immediately. “If Dortmund could get Ye Chen to retreat and defend, they would be more stable. But he is Dortmund’s nuclear weapon. Only by placing him in the most dangerous position can they deter their opponents!”
Ye Chen, who was in the attacking third, witnessed the entire process of the goal.
It was exactly the same way he scored a header before.
There was a sense of helplessness about it.
Onana was undoubtedly the saddest.
He still wants to shut out three consecutive games.
They broke through the door in just seven minutes... speechless!
The game resumed soon.
After scoring, Wolfsburg didn't retreat at all and continued to attack.
Their tactics are very simple.
However, Dortmund has handled the situation quite well during this period.
They gradually regained possession of the ball!
However, as soon as Dortmund got the ball, they immediately imposed a land, sea, and air blockade on Ye Chen.
The ball is frequently passed to the flanks.
Hazard attempted various crosses and cut inside, but his shooting wasn't very smooth.
Several opportunities were missed!
The two sides then began a back-and-forth exchange.
However, after Dortmund locked down Ye Chen, the threat was indeed reduced considerably.
Ye Chen was used to this kind of situation and could only use his physical strength to create space.
At the same time, I hope my teammates will step up.
15 minutes 24 seconds.
Wolfsburg has another corner kick opportunity!
This time, we're looking for someone in the middle.
Weghorst leaped high and headed the ball towards the goal.
The ball went straight for the far corner!
There was no one stopping them.
However, just as Dortmund fans were on edge, the ball bounced off the outside of the post and went out of bounds.
The nervous Dortmund fans~
"Oh dear, what a pity about that goal!" Zhang Lu's voice rang out.
Zhan Jun nodded in agreement, "Wolves' set-piece tactics were very successful today. If they had been a little luckier, they would have been leading Dortmund 2-0!"
"This time they targeted the middle, but Arnold at the front attracted too much attention, giving Weghorst an opportunity!"
Onana, standing in front of the door, angrily started swearing!
"What the hell are you trying to defend yourself against?!"
The teammates on the back line remained silent.
I have a feeling that if things continue like this, we'll concede more goals!
Ten Hag on the sidelines started to change his tactics, making Ye Chen drop back and take the initiative to support him!
We must get Ye Chen moving so we can break this deadlock.
25 minutes 41 seconds.
Reina in the middle passed the ball to Ye Chen on the left!
At this point, Hazard Jr. took over the middle position.
Ye Chen, who had the ball, was immediately intercepted by Schlager.
With just a flashy cow tail, Ye Chen got past his opponent!
Just as Schlager continued to chase, Ye Chen had already chosen to cut inside!
However, Arnold immediately came to cover for them!
Ye Chen chose to cut inside again!
"Oh!"
Ye Chen stopped pretending.
Showdown!
Long-range shot guaranteed to go in, used it!
The football was scooped into a dipping shot!
Under the watchful eyes of all the fans in the stadium, he fell directly into the net.
Castells made a desperate save in front of the goal, but it was to no avail...
"Shua~~~"
This time, it was the Dortmund fans who had traveled a long way who were excited!
They've fallen behind; now it's up to Ye Chen!
Ye Chen, who scored the goal, also rushed to the corner flag and slid down to his knees.
For Ye Chen, every goal is worth celebrating.
After all, his goal tally didn't increase out of thin air; it was the accumulation of every single goal he scored...
Many grains of sand make a tower!
Little by little, we can make a lot!
