Chapter 773 Champions League Final ([-])

Control the ball at your own feet and let the opponent reduce the time of holding the ball. It is certain that the opponent will not be able to pose a threat to Juventus' gate. If you always lose the ball to the opponent, the opponent will continue to exert pressure.

The focus of the offensive pressure is actually concentrated on the defense line. If it takes longer, it is inevitable that your defense line will not make mistakes. If you control the ball yourself, you can let the opponent focus on confrontation and fight for the ball.

Of course, no matter which method Juventus adopts, its purpose is nothing more than to not concede the ball, but the focus is different.

The fans of Dortmund were very powerful, and their voices were louder and louder. The mediocre Zhang Yuan was lucky not to be the object of their ridicule. Their main energy was spent on cheering for Dortmund who was on the offensive.

The momentum of the Juventus fans is much weaker. Even the blind can see that Juventus is very passive. Their hearts are in their throats, so there is no time to open their throats.

"Why is Juventus so weak?!" Joseph felt this way when he saw such a situation.

In the analysis of the major media before the game, Juventus is undoubtedly the favorite. Compared with many positions, Juventus is not bad at all. What is the difference? !Juventus is also lower than Dortmund in the odds of mainstream European bookmakers, which shows that everyone is optimistic that Juventus can win.

But now it seems that the outside world has overestimated Juventus, and Joseph can't help but sigh.

"Juventus are not weak, but they are a little slow, and they have not yet entered the game today. Their lineup should actually be said to be relatively strong, especially today Conte also sent six midfielders. They should control the ball. Not bad!" Hoffman, who was sitting on Joseph's right, hadn't spoken yet, but Gu Lin, who was sitting on Joseph's left, retorted.

What he said is correct. It's not that Juventus doesn't have the ability to control the ball, but it was a bit confused by Dortmund at the beginning. There were no good temptations. You must know how many years the two teams have not met.

After 15 minutes, Dortmund failed to do anything to Juventus. The more they pushed, the more Juventus could not control the ball. Instead, the formation was pressed in their own half. Not too small, they have completed 5 shots, but the chances are not very good.

This shows that when Juventus is really compressed, the defensive quality is really quite good. Barcelona's delicate penetration cannot break the door of Juventus, let alone Dortmund's relatively wide-open play style.

Klopp frowned on the sidelines. He encountered a problem today. Juventus's regional defense was well done, and the formation was suppressed and shrunk again. It was a show of Klopp's defensive skills.

After much deliberation, Klopp finally realized that his team might be too aggressive on the offensive, which led to Juventus' passive defense, but he did not intend to change the current tactical policy. Under Klopp's hands, Dortmund's style hasn't changed much in the past few years. It has always been offense instead of defense. If he doesn't do this, he doubts whether his team can defend Juventus' offense.

However, Juventus quickly showed their strength. After adapting in the early stage, Conte kept yelling and urging on the sidelines. Juventus players gradually found their status, especially Pirlo.

He was in the position of the back midfielder, and suddenly came to get rid of people on the spot several times, once swayed Lewandowski who was staring back at him, once swayed Royce, and organized several times With Juventus' fast break, Zhang Yuan almost broke through the gate guarded by Weidenfeller.

Moreover, in these few fast breaks, Juventus mainly focused on ground cooperation, and no longer blindly opened their feet. In fact, Dortmund's pressure also has disadvantages. Zhang Yuan's position today is not retreating backwards, but laterally. Move, he's on top of Dortmund's back line.

Zhang Yuan's starting speed is very fast. Dortmund's defenders always want to complement Weidenfeller intentionally or unintentionally, so that it is not easy for Juventus to seize the chance of anti-offside.

Therefore, sometimes there will be a disconnect between the back line and the midfield. Juventus just took advantage of this opportunity. Several midfielders boldly pressed forward and put pressure on Dortmund. It seems that the effect is quite good.

Klopp began to panic, this thing can't do this, he felt that his team would lose the ball sooner or later.

The tactics of high-position pressing began to slow down, and Klopp asked his team to maintain the stability and consistency of several lines on the sidelines.

Speaking of which, Juventus's midfield was really not covered. After 25 minutes, Juventus entered the state, the situation on the court was obvious, and the time of possession of the ball increased.

"Look, I'll tell you why Juventus is so weak, Joseph, Dortmund is suppressed now! The next step is to see who scores first!" Gu Lin smiled and said to Joseph.

"I bet Juventus will definitely score first!" Joseph shouted immediately.

"Hehe, how many Zhang Yuanjins?!" Hoffman interrupted suddenly with a smile. Joseph used to ask his father often when he watched Schalke 04. Now that he has grown up, Hoffman deliberately teased Joseph.

"3!" Joseph replied triumphantly.

Enter 3? !It's too difficult!Gu Lin shook his head from the side. Juventus's style of play determines that their forwards can only get relatively few opportunities.

Now Juventus's offense is reserved. They are not in a hurry in the positional battle, and they are not in a hurry. If there is no good space for the ball, they will move the ball to the outside and never force it. This is Juventus. They The top priority is always to put defense first.

Offensively reserved, they would rather force Dortmund's frontcourt players to return to defense to reduce their own pressure.

Pogba's activity in the frontcourt increased linearly, but Conte didn't let him make too many breakthroughs today. If Conte handed in the breakthrough task, he would be more willing to hand it over to Zhang Yuan. Of course, today Zhang Yuan is an important player. The purpose is to suppress their defense and not pass too much to avoid losing the ball.

But Pogba can run, threading needles in the frontcourt, he is really decent, he connects Zhang Yuan and the midfielder well, and his passing skills are gradually improving when he comes to Juventus, after all, he is in Pirlo You can learn some good things around you.

In the 26th minute, Zhang Yuan's threatening header was passed by Pogba. If it hadn't been for Weidenfeller's key save, Juventus would have taken the lead at this time.

Klopp is very dissatisfied with the current situation. Although his team's formation has recovered a lot, Juventus can still find a gap. This is a matter of time. What makes Klopp more disturbed is Juventus It's not like the embarrassment they faced against Bayern or Barcelona. Their ability to control the ball made Klopp a little unbelievable.

This is the purpose of Conte wanting to play six midfielders. Although there are six midfielders, in fact Conte is very clear that it is better than ball control, but it is not necessarily good for offense. According to the arrangement of midfielders, it is impossible. If the pressure is too high, Zhang Yuan is still easy to be marked to death by the shrinking Dortmund on the front line alone.

Conte is not in a hurry, no matter how hard he stares, Dortmund's defense is not monolithic, and some loopholes can always be found.

The two midfielders Gundogan and Bender have endured a lot of tests. Their number of interceptions has plummeted. This is not a good sign. This shows that Dortmund's defensive system has been somewhat unable to prevent Juventus from slowing down. .

The two of them couldn't steal the ball, so naturally it was impossible to give them a lot of support for Royce, and Dortmund's offense suffered a setback.

The current Juventus fans see that the team's momentum is picking up, and their energy is also coming up. They keep singing and shouting, hoping to put a little bit of pressure on the Dortmund players from their hearts.

In the 30th minute, Pogba's midfielder received Marchisio's pass, and suddenly made a pass, which was beyond the expectations of Gundogan and Bender. These two midfielders are still young and capable. There are still many deficiencies in the game. Klopp values ​​them mainly because of their strong running ability and good passing skills.

However, they made a mistake in coordination this time and did not form an effective double-team, allowing Pogba to take the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Pogba has a long-range shot. At this moment, Pogba broke away from the double-teaming of Gundogan and Bender, and immediately took a long-range shot!
