Chapter 63: Passing and high-position pressing

"Dortmund was suppressed by Arsenal!"

Zhan Jun grinned and said: "Arsenal has a lot of experience in playing a three-centre-back lineup. Arsenal has restrained this system more than once before. Now Dortmund has put up this lineup again. It's really true."

Zhan Jun was a little helpless. Dortmund's tactical choice was wrong. The idea of ​​increasing offense against Arsenal was correct, but the defensive strength could not be sacrificed.

Zhang Ludao on the other side; "The three-center-back lineup, to put it bluntly, is to increase the number of people in the midfield and frontcourt, so as to achieve more ball control purposes!"

"But the problem is that Arsenal won't defend with you in their own midfield and backfield! Their pressing area is in the frontcourt, and Dortmund's three central defenders have become the weak point!"

"We can see that Dortmund central defender Subotic has made a big clearance more than once. This is a signal that the passing control cannot continue, and it also shows that Arsenal has cut off their passing channels!"

"Under such circumstances, it is a bit puzzling to force a pass!"

Zhan Jun: "Boss! This may be a desperate tactical arrangement, but he also needs to bear the responsibility for failure!"

At this time, Arsenal clearly had the advantage on the scene.

And with Arsenal's ability, they can score goals more efficiently when they control the advantage.

"Look! Lucky has already gone up!"

Zhang Lu pointed to the screen. In the shot, Lucai had already stepped out of half court.

After confirming that Dortmund could not put too much pressure on their own backcourt, Lucky also participated in the attack.

In addition, Lucky can also increase the pressing and interception capabilities of the front and middle players in the frontcourt.

Now Dortmund's life is even more difficult.

"Damn it!"

Shinji Kagawa played very frustrated.

In the league, they played smoothly, and when facing Wolfsburg, they relied on a three-back formation to achieve a 6-1 record.

But when facing Arsenal in the Champions League, they were restrained and felt very uncomfortable.

This is either a gap in players or abilities, or a clear tactical issue.

Arsenal know how to overcome this tactical system.

After Lucai ran to the frontcourt, the pressing efficiency increased.

Dortmund's formation was compressed again.

They can only drop back quickly through short passes and cannot take full advantage of the width of the field when passing the ball.

Whenever they want to pass the ball, Arsenal are quick to block the passing lanes and even get close to the receiver.

This forced Dortmund to pass back.

But once they pass back, Arsenal will continue to advance and continue to press.

The back three who finally broke them made a big-footed clearance.

A very simple tactic, but very unsolvable.

At least Dortmund currently has no idea how to solve it.

Through player individual ability?

Can anyone in the Dortmund team guarantee that they can get past Lucky?

This is ultimately the problem.

The tactical system is not good and the players are not capable enough.

This creates the problem of being suppressed across the board.

Of course, although Dortmund was suppressed, they still defended very well.

After all, it can be considered some of Klopp’s legacy.

But if this continues, Arsenal will eventually continue to force them.

Just as Dortmund was racking their brains to think of a solution, Arsenal suddenly launched an attack.

Lucky received a pass from the backcourt.

Mane and Wilshere suddenly crossed paths, which also affected the opponent's defense to move. During the movement, there was a brief gap.

Lucky aimed at this gap and stuffed the ball behind the full-back.

The ball almost missed midfielder Shaheen's ankle and rolled over. It was a bit dangerous, but it was still a success.

Seeing the ball pass through successfully, Wilshere also ran with all his strength to chase the ball.

The moment he caught up with the ball, Wilshere did not stop the ball, ran in an arc, and directly chose to cross.

Faced with this sudden change, Dortmund's defense panicked.

Especially Subotic, who needs to defend Giroud alone at this time.

This is a big problem.

Giroud's header ability is obvious to all. When the two took off, Giroud clearly had the advantage.

Although Subotic caused interference, Giroud still got the ball.

"Giroud!! Header!"

the narrator yelled.

The ball hit the ground, the Dortmund goalkeeper made a cross, and his calf landed just where the ball landed.

The ball hit goalkeeper Burki's calf and bounced back into the penalty area.

Schmelzer chose to turn around and draw the ball directly to make a clearance.

The ball hit Aubameyang and flew out of the sideline.

Dortmund saved a crisis.

But the ball still did not cross the half court, but was thrown by hand near the corner kick.

Schmelzer ran over and threw the ball.

He didn't dare throw the ball backwards, even though Subotic was right behind him, but the Arsenal players were eyeing it.

Schmelzer could only throw the ball from a distance.

He wants the midfielders to keep the ball under control.

But when he just threw it out and Shaheen was waiting to stop the ball, someone came out from behind.

"careful!"

Schmelzer immediately exclaimed.

But he still finished shouting.

Lucky squeezed Shaheen away from behind, pushed the ball forward with his chest, and laid the ball near the penalty area line.

Then Lucai strode after the ball, facing the rebounding ball, without making any adjustments, and hit the goal directly.

boom! ! !

Dortmund goalkeeper Burki made a wonderful save to save the ball from the baseline.

"Schmelzer threw a side ball, Shaheen waited for Kai!! Suddenly he stepped forward to intercept, and shot directly from this position!! Oh~~~~~ Burki!! Burki's wonderful save, if not for Burki, Dortmund Just lost the ball!”

The commentator said with excitement.

Doesn’t the rhythm pick up now?

Arsenal have begun to exert their strength.

Two consecutive shots, although failed to score, put a lot of pressure on Dortmund.

But I have to say that Dortmund goalkeeper Burki is in really good shape and is very focused.

Lucky made a sudden advance this time, and his shot was even more unexpected by everyone.

But Burki still saved the ball flying towards the lower left corner.

With this kind of concentration, Burki kept Dortmund's goal clean.

But Arsenal also got a corner kick opportunity for this.

You know, in the previous game against Manchester City, Arsenal scored two corner kick goals.

This also requires Dortmund to be cautious.

Robertson made a free throw.

He raised his hand to signal.

At this time, Wilshere suddenly ran towards the corner area.

Upon seeing this, Dortmund full-back Papastathopoulos immediately followed, but at this time Robertson actually kicked the ball directly.

The ball landed exactly where Papastathopoulos was standing.

"Oops!"

Papastathopoulos just turned his head.

He saw Ramsey appear there, facing the falling ball, and volleyed directly.

Ding! !

The ball bounced off the crossbar and Giroud bumped the ball midway.

He originally wanted to hit the goal directly, but the height of the ball was a bit high and hit it directly into the air.

Goalkeeper Burki seized the opportunity, sprinted wildly and picked the ball off.

"Arsenal's tactical corner kick? Instead of a direct penalty kick, here comes Ramsey! Volley! Ah!!! Crossbar! And! Giroud header, the ball is too high!"

Zhan Jun shook his head with regret.

Arsenal failed to seize the opportunity to score a goal.

Ramsey and Giroud also looked regretful.

However, they are not discouraged, after all, these attacks have already illustrated the problem.

Arsenal are still in the upper hand.

And how long can Dortmund last in the face of Arsenal's attack?

Under this attacking pace, Dortmund will soon be unable to hold on.

Lucky also loudly encouraged his teammates and gave Ramsey and Giroud a thumbs up to express a good goal.

Although the two failed to score, they boosted Arsenal's morale.

Their next attacks will only become more ferocious.

"Dortmund's disadvantage is too great. Although they did not concede a goal, with the development of this situation, conceding a goal will happen sooner or later."

"There is still time left"

Zhan Jun was stunned for a moment.

He found that the game had reached the 43rd minute, only 2 minutes before the end of the first half.

Time flies so fast?

And Dortmund almost made it through halftime.

This was beyond his expectation.

But adjustments at halftime are extremely crucial for Dortmund.
