Chapter 711 German Midfield Showdown
Subotic's successful defense greatly boosted the confidence of Dortmund fans, after all, this is a plan!
And this final also made the fans not boring at all. The sexy girl just now was an unexpected surprise in the game, but it is obviously not boring mainly because of the game on the court.

Dortmund is good at filling the rhythm, and even driving the opponent's rhythm!

This is Klopp's magic weapon for winning. Dortmund used crazy oppression and pressing to force the opponent's rhythm, which is equivalent to bringing the game into the rhythm he wanted. After Subotic successfully defended, Zize passed back , Chelsea's midfielder responded, but immediately fell into the struggle of Dortmund's midfielder.

Meyer and Lampard passed each other, which seemed to be meaningless short passes between the two, but it was actually a helpless move.

Lampard was oppressed in the front position and couldn't turn around. Meyer's passing line was also blocked, so he had to go back to Lampard, but Lampard didn't have any good options for the ball, so he could only pass back. meyer.

This is the so-called control of the rhythm of the game.

If it is impossible to directly contain the opponent's offense or conduction, then press and block the route to form control of the game. This is what Dortmund does.

Meyer got the ball again, and there is still only Lampard to pass in front of him, or is there only one Lampard at a relatively safe pass point, continue to pass to Lampard?
This is a good choice. Lampard has rich experience, and it would be good to let him continue to organize the offense. However, it has been three or four times in a row. It is a bit strange that there are no good passing spots around.

Is there any other way?
Meyer suddenly thought of what Hiddink told them before the game, which could create opportunities for set kicks.

It is difficult to form a direct shot from a set kick in this position, but Zize also once said that the weakest link in Dortmund's defense is the set kick and corner kick defense. Even if you can't shoot directly, it is always good to create more opportunities for set kicks.

Meyer didn't intend to pass the ball directly to Lampard this time, but chose to take the ball himself!
Midfield advance!

Meyer, who suddenly dribbled the ball forward, made the Dortmund players somewhat surprised. The continuous passing of Lampard and Meyer made the Dortmund players think that Meyer would definitely pass the ball, but in fact Meyer broke through. The space is also very small. Bender is ready to move to this side at any time to intercept Meyer's pass. In fact, he is also close to the defensive distance, ready to deal with Meyer's breakthrough at any time.

Bender and Meyer are also teammates of the national team. Meyer, who has recently played the main force at Chelsea, has gradually gained some status in the national team. Although the main force of the national team is still Bayern, the midfielder is mainly Schweinsteiger. Rose, and Khedira is also an important candidate, but after him, Meyer, Gundogan, the Bender brothers and Kramer of Monchengladbach are the candidates for the second camp.

The head coach of the German national team, Loew, was also watching the final. Next year will be the World Cup year. Loew himself has always attached great importance to the Dortmund game, so he attaches more importance to this final. He wants to see these young players How will they play in the face of major games.

Meyer, Gundogan, and Bender, these three people are very important inspection targets.

Because there is basically nothing else to investigate. Hummels, Reus, and Gotze can basically be selected for the national team. Weidenfeller will be selected as the second goal without any suspense. Their excellence in these positions It is enough, but Germany has many candidates for the position in the middle of the midfield.

There is basically no suspense about Khedira, Schweinsteiger, and Kroos. They will be the main force or the main rotation candidates, but the team will always need one or two backup forces.

Gundogan and Bender, the heroes of the six championships, Meyer, who has emerged this season, and Kramer, who has performed steadily and outstandingly in Borussia, this reserve list is enough, and at least one or two of them will be taken to Brazil. Good opportunity for Loew to inspect.

Meyer takes the ball to face Bender!

pass him!

This was the only thought in Meier's mind, and he couldn't help but make a movement under his feet, a deep-fried ball!
Unexpectedly, Bender actually knew him very well. In addition to being a teammate of the national team for a short time, Bender also did enough homework before the game.

He was waiting for the moment when Meier changed direction!

Meier had already realized that Bender hadn't been tricked by him, but it was too late for another reverse croquette at this time, because Bender basically didn't move at all, so Meier had a quick wit and threw the ball between Bender's legs. Kick, and then prepare to force a breakthrough with speed!

Bender didn't expect Meyer to control the ball in this situation. He was still on guard against Meyer's change of direction, but this time he passed through the crotch so that he didn't have time to react.

Meier wanted to speed up and go around him, but Meier's explosive power was not very strong. When he came up, Bender's body also met him, and the two collided and fell to the ground.

This time, in the duel between the German midfielders, Meyer won first.

The referee Rizzoli blew the whistle in his mouth. In his opinion, it was a blocking foul. Bender stood up and didn't say anything. He was indeed suspected of blocking the foul. Come to play, but the position is actually not very good, on the front wing.

Zize seems to have scored goals in this position!
Bender looked a little uneasy at the position where he fouled just now, and then looked back at the goal. Fortunately, it was a little bit wider than last time.

Chelsea is ready to take a free kick, Klopp and Guus Hiddink both walked to the sidelines, Hiddink is very satisfied, this game so far is the only detail that Hiddink may want to see, the rest is in Klopp's grasp middle.

And Klopp is worried.

Dortmund's set-piece defense problem has been around for a long time, and Klopp is also trying to solve it. He has very good central defenders Subotic and Hummels. This defensive combination may be one of the best in Europe, but set-pieces Conceding goals is always a lot and it's weird.

Maybe the usual training is really not in place. Klopp's tactics have very high requirements on the players. They have to play like a whole. In the usual tactical training, they need to spend a lot of time to get used to it, leaving time for set kicks Very few indeed.

A set kick in this position is equivalent to a 45-degree cross, and it may be a little further back. In this position, the winger or full-back usually takes the penalty. Unfortunately, Chelsea's winger is not strong in crossing. Ah Zall is not on this side, and Zize rarely crosses from the side. This kind of 45-degree wide cross is really not his strong point.

Therefore, Azpilicueta usually takes the free kick on Chelsea's side. However, after Meyer was hit by Bender and heard the whistle, he immediately turned over and sat up and hugged the ball. Azpilicueta came up and asked Meyer shook his head and said, "I want to try."

Azpilicueta did not insist. Since Meier wanted to try, he went to the middle. If Meier kicked the ball, he would definitely hit the penalty area. Someone needs to stay in the middle to guard against the opponent's counterattack.

Meyer placed the ball at the position where Bender fouled just now, and looked up at the penalty area. Chelsea all attached great importance to this set-piece attack.

This is Chelsea's first set-piece in this game, and it is also what Zize suggested to Hiddink before the game to pay attention to. Obviously Hiddink and the whole team value this opportunity more.

But fighting for the top and heading the ball is really not what Zize is good at. In the past when Dortmund played for Dortmund, although he seldom practiced set kicks, after all, he stayed for three years. His teammates rarely or almost never saw Zize fight in training. A corner kick or a set kick has been scored. In the official game, although Zize has scored a goal from a corner kick, but that situation is relatively unexpected, and it is not some regular set kicks.

Unconventional set kicks, in fact, as long as there are precautions, it is difficult for the opponent to pose a threat. Set kicks are opened into the penalty area, which is nothing more than a front point, a back point, and a penalty point. Unconventional ones may be a low level. The ball, a tactical kick-off, or a long-range shot outside the penalty area.

Facing Qi Ce, Dortmund will definitely think of this. The front point arranges people to stand up to prevent low-level balls from being played quickly, and the rib area should beware of Qi Ce's long-range shots, and that's it.

Although it is true that more set kicks were proposed by Qi Ce, basically most of them have nothing to do with him. Qi Ce also stood at the top of the penalty area to attract defense or see opportunities for long-range shots, but he paid attention Till Meyer was waving his hand to signal to move forward in the penalty area, so Zize moved slowly back.

If he wants to make a point forward, Qi Ce will point back, also to attract the attention of the defense.

But the moment the ball was kicked, Qi Ce realized that the ball flew backwards!Meier kicked the ball with great force, and Qi Ce immediately started to accelerate and sprinted backwards!

Subotic and Hummels are not there, because they dare not neglect Terry and David Luiz in the front, and only Gotze and Schmelzer are defending the same strategy in the back. But Schmelzer stood relatively forward, and Gotze took the top!

At the end, Qi Ce leaped high and smashed the ball into the net with a head shake!
