The midfield king of football life

Chapter 174 041 Note from Guardiola

After the national derby, Dortmund players rushed back to the club the next day, because the day after tomorrow there is the last Champions League group match to be played at the Westfalenstadion.

Winning or losing this game does not have much impact on Dortmund's qualifying, nor does it mean anything to rival Manchester City, who are already doomed to be eliminated.So this game is just a battle of honor between the two teams, and winning or losing doesn't have much impact on each other.

Due to Dortmund's exhaustion from traveling and traveling, after the huge consumption of the national derby, the physical fitness of the players must have a certain impact.So in this game, coach Klopp made some rotations.

"Li Feng, I can finally rest for this game, and I will leave the task of winning to you!" Lewandowski walked to Li Feng's side and patted him on the shoulder after training.

"No problem, wrap it on me, my feet feel hot recently." Li Feng said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you are more and more like bragging, maybe you can't describe Chinese people with humility in the future. But I still wish you good luck!!" Lewand said.

In the last group match of the Champions League group stage, Dortmund made a very large rotation.Full-back Piszczek took a break, Oliver Kirsch replaced Piszczek, center back Subotic took a break, and Santana partnered with Hummels to form a twin tower in the center.In terms of defensive midfielders, Svend and the old captain Kyle took turns to rest, Gundogan and Leitner both started, Li Feng replaced Götze in the start, Perisic replaced Bwaszczykowski in the start, Royce remained unchanged, striker Siebel replaced Lewandowski in the start, and the goalkeeper is still Weidenfeller.

This time Dortmund almost rested most of the main players in order to save energy for the next league game.

December 12th, Westfalenstadion.The stadium broadcast sounded, and the host reported that the number of people who arrived at the stadium to watch the game today was as high as 5, and the attendance rate hit a new high.It is also because Dortmund has performed very well in the league and the Champions League recently. Although it does not matter whether they win or lose this game, it still attracts many fans to watch the game.

Soon, after the brief opening ceremony, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

This game was Li Feng's first start in the UEFA Champions League, so the China National TV Sports Channel broadcast the game live.

At the start of the game, Dortmund kicked off first.

Li Feng did not rush to attack after receiving the pass from his teammates, but passed back and forth with Jin Duoan behind him in the backcourt.

Because this game does not affect the overall situation, the players of the two teams did not pay as much attention to it as they did in the previous group stage.This also caused the defense of both sides to look not very active.

Manchester City's players also occasionally stepped forward to press in a symbolic manner. In most cases, they kept the formation neat and assumed a defensive posture.

A host surnamed Zhang on the domestic sports channel said: "The game started to look a bit dull. Dortmund was not in a hurry to attack, and Manchester City didn't use all their strength to defend. This game is destined to not have too much to watch."

"The first half seemed to be like this. I don't know if there will be goals in the second half." Another host surnamed Huang said.

Throughout the first half, Dortmund was in possession of the ball most of the time, only occasionally when there was an opportunity, Li Feng would kick a long pass to find Schieber or Royce in front, but this simple long pass did not pose any threat to the traditional Premier League team Manchester City.

On Manchester City's side, the offense was also simple and did not create too many opportunities.In this way, the first half ended under the dull scene of both sides, and the score was 0 to 0.
For Li Feng, he still cherishes the opportunity to start, and he still takes this game seriously in his heart, even if it adds a little competition experience for him.

At the beginning of the second half, coach Klopp replaced the main player Royce and replaced him with Bwaszczykowski.This has fully demonstrated that coach Klopp does not care about the result of this game, it is completely training the players.

When serving a sideline kick, Li Feng and Jin Duoan chatted in the backcourt: "We still have to score one or two goals in this game, otherwise I am sorry for the fans who support us."

"I'm fine, as long as you need me to cooperate with you, I don't know about the others." Gundogan said.

"Leave the others to me, I will mobilize them." Li Feng said.

Next, I saw Li Feng constantly passing back and forth with his teammates, first let the teammates who were not active start to move actively, and then suddenly speed up the attacking rhythm.Manchester City is also baffled by the sudden change in Dortmund. There is no need for them to play so seriously in this game. Both sides can end 0-0.But Li Feng didn't think so.

In the 60th minute, Li Feng and Jing Duoan suddenly accelerated the pass and cut the ball to Manchester City's half.

Today Manchester City's formation is 442, with Javier Garcia as the defensive midfielder. Seeing Dortmund's players advancing quickly, Javier Garcia was a little overwhelmed.

Just when he was hesitating, Li Feng and Gundogan made a collision-like cooperation, and Li Feng, who received the ball again, had already got rid of Javier Garcia behind him.

Seeing that Siebel was about to start sideways, Li Feng passed the ball straight into Manchester City's penalty area. At this time, Siebel immediately started to catch up with the ball, facing the ball that was passed into the penalty area, and shot angrily directly. The ball quickly flew into the net. Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart had nothing to do about it.

"GOALLLL"

"Hahaha, I finally scored a goal. I thought the whole game would be as boring as the first half." A Dortmund fan said excitedly.

"Although all players are on the bench, they are still stronger than Manchester City. Goals are taken for granted." Another Dortmund fan said.

"Did you find out, this goal is China's Li Feng again. His state has been bursting recently. I am afraid that Gotze's status will be shaken." A Dortmund fan said.

"The Chinese midfielder is always good at passing the ball. Compared with Gotze, he seems to be more suitable for the midfield position." A Dortmund fan said.

After scoring this goal, Dortmund's players celebrated calmly, but forward Scibel, he hugged Li Feng very happily, because this is his first goal in this year's Champions League, which is very memorable.

At this time, in front of the TV, a middle-aged man with a bald head looked at Li Feng on the field. He suddenly had many thoughts in his heart, and many of his previous thoughts were shaken at this moment.

When the match between Dortmund and Manchester City ended 1-0, the middle-aged man picked up the landline next to him, quickly dialed a number, and then said: "Regarding the previous discussion with you about buying Mario Gotze, please take a moment. I am suddenly interested in another person. I hope to make a reasonable assessment of this person recently, and then decide who to choose."

The person on the other end of the phone replied slightly surprised: "Really? There is another candidate who is comparable to Mario Gotze. Is it not for sale?"

"I think this guy will be easier to handle than Mario Gotze!" said the middle-aged man.

"Okay, Josep, I respect your opinion!" said the person on the other end of the phone.
