Grass roots glory

Chapter 215
The satellite broadcast signal had just swept across the away team fan area where Schalke fans gathered, and then swept around Dortmund's South Stand. Originally, it was just to highlight the enthusiasm of the fans on both sides, but unexpectedly found such a meaningful slogan .The on-site director immediately gave a ten-second shot, which was fixed on this slogan.

The commentators who broadcast the game through satellite signals understood the meaning of this scene.

Duan Xuan chuckled: "Do Dortmund fans like to turn over old accounts so much? They are still using the game three seasons ago to stimulate Schalke players. In fact, it seems useless. Schalke is now the defending champion, and Dortmund. Nothing for a few seasons."

In the 2006-07 season, after Dortmund successfully prevented Schalke from winning the championship in the penultimate round of the league, Dortmund fans specially rented small helicopters to fly to Gelsenkirchen in the final game of the league and played a huge slogan: Champion silver plate, only If you can't touch it, you will never win the championship.As a result, last season started with an away game reversal against Dortmund. Schalke embarked on the fast track to win the championship, and it was unstoppable.

If there is really reincarnation and karma in heaven, then that would count as it.Watching other people joke, you will eventually be trampled underfoot.

However, if you want to talk about why Dortmund fans have the confidence to curse Schalke with the game three seasons ago, there is one thing in common: Weidenfeller also played at a high level today just like that game.

Two consecutive strikes to keep the goal clean are indeed very effective in stimulating Dortmund's morale. After Weidenfeller stood up, he punched and roared at his teammates. He was not angry at the central defender, but encouraged: I am here , Rest assured to attack.

As the team's second captain, doing so is not exceeding his authority, and he has this responsibility.

But Schalke's defense in the second half was not as immediate as Weidenfeller wanted his teammates to rush forward, as in the first half.

In fact, why Dortmund is not competitive enough now, because they are still a single-core team in the final analysis, and the organization brain of the team's offense is still Shaheen. By passing the ball to open up space, Dortmund's wing attack will also be affected.

Of course, Dortmund is not considered a top giant in the European arena, so they can't play a dual-core midfielder, but a team like this top league championship should have a right-hand man in addition to a main midfielder.Like Schalke, in the state of the strongest midfielder, Zhou Tian is the main player, and Rakitic is Zhou Tiancheng's support.Klopp once wanted the Hungarian midfielder Hajnaur to play the role of Shaheen's helper. Last season, he just transferred from Karlsruhe to join. Hajnaur played [-] times and scored [-] goals this season. So-so.But this season has suddenly encountered a cold, so far there is no record of appearances.The entire offensive organization depends on Shaheen alone.

Dortmund's opponents in the opening stage were not strong except for Bayern and Schalke, so the record was so-so, but it also exposed the lack of combat effectiveness of a single-core midfielder playing against a strong team. The 1:5 defeat to Bayern was precisely because Shaheen's activities were restricted, and there was a sign of this today, but in the face of Holtby's level of entanglement, Shaheen's role was obviously not as good as in the first half.

Shaheen's skills and awareness are nothing to say, but his thin body is his biggest flaw. In modern football, physical fitness is higher than awareness. What the core of the midfielder needs is the ability to quickly and accurately play the ball under strong confrontation.

From this point of view, those who question Messi's small stature and rely on technology to make a living seriously underestimate his ability.

……

No. 60 minutes, Klopp used the audience's first substitution, Victor Valdes replaced Shaheen.

A small striker replaced the attacking midfielder. Obviously Klopp wanted to pursue a more direct attacking method. He couldn't bear the fact that the ball was always changing hands back and forth in the midfield. If he couldn't threaten Schalke's goal, he would only get further and further away from victory.

Magath's response was also very quick. Two minutes after Dortmund's substitution, Magath adjusted at the left back and Christian Pender replaced Bordon.

In the first two seasons, Pender had very few chances to play, and Slomka trusted Bordon more, but Magath did not ignore this former German national youth player with both offense and defense. He was called "the second Andrea" by the media. Bremer"'s left back (Bremmer is the main left back in the era of the German troika.)
This substitution hit the nail on the head. Magath had foreseen that the opponent's offense would go down the two sides, so he chose a new force at the left back position.

Facts have proved Magath's wisdom.Pandel, who is physically fit, cherishes the opportunity to reappear. Of course, he is not timid, but when the opportunity arises, he tackles Gross Kreutz very decisively.Without being sloppy, he kept the ball with two beautiful shovels and directly left the ball at his feet, giving Schalke a chance to counterattack.

Watching Zhou Tiancheng receive two crosses from the side, and then put in a header and hit the side net, there was a sound of regret in the Schalke stands. Chu Yunling stood up from her seat twice, and then she heard Shouting "Oh, I didn't make it in!", she sat down again with her usual expression, without much disappointment, she had watched many of Zhou Tiancheng's games, and speaking of absolute trust, she believed that Zhou Tiancheng was born for big occasions of!
Nothing can stop this man.

After six and 10 minutes, according to the commentary's prediction, it should be the prelude for the final 15 minutes of decisive battle between the coaches of the two sides, but now the scene is getting more and more one-sided.

Klopp's replacement of Shaheen is to put Baodu on the wing, but his estimation of the strength of the wing has been biased. Gross Kreutz can indeed beat Bordon, but Magath will let Pan Del played, which he didn't expect.In his plan, there is no place for Pender at all.

As a result, it was this "inconspicuous little character" who froze a sidewalk that he had placed high hopes on!
Gross Kreutz has no other way, he wants to transfer his big foot to the other side and hand it to Kuba.But the footwork is not fine enough, the pass is not accurate, and it is frequently destroyed by Rafinha.

The short pass to the midfielder is also a problem.Both Kyle and Svenbender are purely defensive midfielders. It is difficult to pass the ball through the organization and give the ball to the striker from the front and Schalke's defensive system.Can only return to the wing, or hastily end with a long shot.Of course, the balls all flew into the audience.

"Christian Pender's appearance is really a coup. If, of course, it can only be said now if, Schalke wins in the end, Pandel is a substitute to some extent. His appearance has brought Dortmund's offense to a standstill." Duan Xuan said.

But this judgment is still a bit early, everything must be based on the fact that Schalke can win, but today their offensive efficiency is not very high.
