Grass roots glory

Chapter 499
Only four points away, it's definitely not a favorable situation.

Under such circumstances, anyone can imagine that Bayern's morale will definitely be reinvigorated. Although Dortmund will sit at home in the next round, it will definitely be difficult to face Bayern, who is coming with a decisive attitude.Moreover, he will face Real Madrid in three days and meet two top teams at the Champions League level in just one week. Klopp does not want to give up any line, which makes Chinese fans sweat.

Everyone thinks that if Klopp is smart enough, maybe he should make a trade-off. Even if he doesn't want to do this, but Dortmund's lineup can't carry the third-tier championship. By then, if the watermelon and sesame are not caught, it will be a big loss. up.

But Klopp is obviously not worried at all. In the pre-match press conference of the Champions League quarter-finals two days later, not only the Madrid media, but even the Dortmund media brought up such issues again.

Of course, the Madrid media must be here to make trouble and disgust, and the Dortmund media is out of their concern, but Klopp just laughed: "Do you all know this team better than me? For us, there is no game It’s worth the trade-off. A lot of people have forgotten that Dortmund were Champions League champions, but that’s okay, and soon you will understand what Dortmund’s temperament is like.”

These remarks did not give Real Madrid any face at all, and even the Chinese fans couldn't listen to it anymore-it was too crazy.

"Uncle scum ×! Hahahaha, I must like it, Milan is a fart, Real Madrid is a dick! What the hell is Barcelona and Bayern, the most powerful team in the universe!"

"Klopp is really drifting. Don't you know what level Dortmund is? If it's not for Chengda, it's like who wants to pay attention to Dortmund."

"Temperament, hahaha, without Zhou Tiancheng, you probably have the temperament of the group stage, right? Hahaha, die laughing!"

"If Klopp can be more pragmatic, try his best to eliminate Real Madrid in the next game. After all, don't waste the lead in the first round, and then concentrate on securing the league. Multi-line championship is like a mirage. It looks good, it's all super. The game of the giants can only be played with a lineup like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern, which is really not something Dortmund can afford."

But in any case, the enthusiasm of the whole city of Dortmund has become manic with the arrival of Mourinho and Real Madrid stars.Five hours before the start of the game that day, the Real Madrid Expedition fan group had begun to gather, but as time went on, they were quickly submerged in the crowd of Dortmund fans that was ten times larger.

It's just that the fans of both sides maintain enthusiasm for each other. The two teams have no historical grievances, so the atmosphere is quite harmonious. There are even Dortmund fans holding beers and joining the crowd of Real Madrid fans, hoping to get a Ronaldo. signed jersey.

At the team level, the atmosphere is far from as relaxed as among the fans.Mourinho arranged the tactics intensively. The eleven starting players all formed a small circle and stared at the tactical board carefully.

Alonso was absent, replaced by French midfielder Las Diarra.

Mourinho arranged the team's tactics: "The midfielder is absolutely not allowed to participate in the offense! Your task is only to defend, and all offensive issues are left to the strikers to complete, and do everything possible to send the ball to Cristiano's feet! Then , Cristiano, I believe you are the most powerful individual on this planet, huh?"

Ronaldo didn't speak, but nodded heavily. At this time, he would not make any guarantees casually. Of course, there is no defense line that can really make him difficult-when he is about to explode with all his strength.

Mourinho removed Harvey Alonso from the starting lineup. Real Madrid's 4-2-3-1 double midfielder combination is Khedira and Diarra, two midfielders with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

When Mourinho started to use such a midfield combination, a familiar style came to his face-Mourinho's bus!
The so-called Mourinho bus refers to Mourinho's iconic anti-reverse tactics. Under this tactic, the midfielder defends intensively by shrinking and compressing the space.

Perhaps the wording is not quite accurate, but Mourinho removed Xabi Alonso in the 4-2-3-1 formation, the most typical sign is to use two defensive gates, strategy and first leg Significantly different, that's indisputable.

Is this a wise choice when the home score is behind and the away game needs at least a goal difference to come back?
At least the commentators don’t think so. The Madrid TV commentator Juan Picci, who was in the commentary booth, felt that this was obviously Mourinho’s wrong choice of tactics: “Mourinho should take back his self-confidence and face up to the current situation. Real Madrid needs to score two goals, and it is definitely not a good choice to hand over the initiative in this case. If he can do this in the first game, maybe he will not be so passive."

Juan Picci's tone was full of doubts, and he was actually cursing stupidity in his heart.

But it didn't help at all, according to Marcel Leif - "He seemed to have some kind of illusion, expecting Real Madrid to counterattack one goal at a time."

But this is obviously unrealistic. Dortmund quickly occupied the midfield by pressing forward in the formation. Since Mourinho has chosen such a tactic, it means that Real Madrid will take the risk of staying in the most difficult opening 15 minutes before the game.

Real Madrid held the midfield firmly through a six-man defensive system in the midfield, without any scruples about the crazy atmosphere of Westphalia, and they were not worried about letting Dortmund go crazy and be unable to suppress it.These stars have maintained absolute execution of Mourinho's tactics.

Zhou Tiancheng can only constantly attract space by attracting defenses. With Real Madrid deliberately shrinking, it is obviously not a good choice to go straight in the middle, but it is also difficult to penetrate the wing. Royce wants to use speed to force the left. Defensively, but under the premise that Marcelo holds his position firmly, Royce's speed does not have any outstanding advantages in front of the world's top left-backs.

Dortmund's offense is in trouble. Real Madrid's tortoise-like defense makes Dortmund's offense find no loopholes. In many cases, they can only retreat to the midfield to reorganize. However, Sven Bender did not expect that when the ball came to his feet, Kaka Suddenly retreated and poked, and accidentally lost the ball.

Dortmund's defense was in immediate danger. Kaka dribbled the ball all the way along the middle. He did not follow Mourinho's instructions and passed the ball directly to Ronaldo. He was equally confident in his breakthrough ability. For Hummels and Subotic, he didn't feel too much pressure.

But he ignored Zhou Tiancheng who was chasing back behind him. When he broke through Subotic and thought he could pass a direct pass to Ronaldo behind him, Zhou Tiancheng saw his opportunity to change his rhythm, tackled the ball and made a steady pass Keep the ball at your feet.

Tackle the ball.

"Beautiful! Where does Mourinho's confidence in Real Madrid's counterattack come from? With such a big bus, is it bullying that Dortmund's offensive strength is not enough?"

Duan Xuan said with a smile.
