Strong Waist

Entering the halftime break, Dortmund was stunned for half the game.

However, it can be judged from the state of Dortmund players when they exited that their physical energy consumption was too great.

Especially the three defenders, all of them were sweating profusely and panting like cows.

Obviously this game is really a test for them.

"Dortmund survived half the game, which is good news for them. How to adjust during the halftime break is the most critical issue!"

"I think Bosz should consider returning to a four-back system instead of continuing to use a three-back system. This will only drag down Dortmund's midfield and counterattack ability!"

It was already proven in the first half that Dortmund's three defenders are useless.

If you still use it forcefully at this time, you may really lose the game.

But Bose had a different idea.

For Bosz, it was not a problem with the tactics themselves, but rather that the connection between the midfield and the backfield was not done well.

"You must actively drop back to catch the ball. When your teammates catch the ball, most of you choose to watch from the side instead of going back to help your teammates. In this way, the space will not be available. I have only one request for you. That is to actively catch the ball and then find the right time to quickly attack with the ball! ”

Bosz's words fully demonstrated his attitude, and the three-back system will still be used in the second half.

In response, everyone had a hint of bitterness on their faces.

Especially Subotic made a grimace and said: "Boss! I'm under too much pressure, I think."

"Hey! Man, everyone has pressure. It just depends on whether you can overcome it. I think as long as you overcome this pressure, you can grow further!" Boss said seriously.

Subotic opened his mouth and finally bowed his head helplessly.

He wanted help, but the coach was giving him chicken soup.

What else?

If the head coach says it's okay, he has to do it, and even if it doesn't work, he has to do it.

It looked like the second half was going to be another torturous moment.

On the other side, in the Arsenal dressing room, Mourinho also emphasized over and over again.

"You guys played too anxiously. We obviously had many chances to score in the first half, but we failed to seize it because we were too anxious. We must look up and observe before shooting, rather than shooting blindly!"

"If you don't have time, you can observe in advance!"

"Guys, win this game so we can get through this Christmas easily, so! Win Dortmund!"

After both coaches gave their best speeches, the players rested.

In the first half, both teams had their own problems.

Dortmund had more of a tactical problem, while Arsenal failed to capitalize on their chances.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

As Arsenal started, the commentator also warmed up loudly.

"After the first half, the score between the two sides is still 0:0. Arsenal was in the advantage throughout the first half, but Dortmund was able to hold on better than we thought!"

"But for Dortmund, they still need some fundamental changes!"

"But judging from the current situation, Dortmund head coach Bosz is still obsessed with the three-back passing and control system, but we also expect Dortmund players to perform better!"

"At the same time, Arsenal has not made any personnel changes. Both sides have maintained the same lineup as in the first half."

Along with the commentator's words, Dortmund fought fiercely when Arsenal attacked.

Perhaps based on the head coach's arrangements, they continued to press and intercept Arsenal in various ways.

However, Dortmund still has some flaws overall and cannot practice this tactic well.

On the other hand, when Dortmund was in possession of the ball, Arsenal's pressing was much stronger.

In almost less than 2 minutes, Arsenal was able to steal the ball and quickly enter an offensive state.

In the 65th minute, Arsenal got another corner kick opportunity.

This was also Arsenal's first corner kick in the second half.

"It's Arsenal's corner kick again. They already used a corner kick in the first half to tell Dortmund that Arsenal's corner kick is very threatening. How will Dortmund defend now?"

This time, Arsenal did not use any tactical corner kick.

Instead, it was punished directly to the middle.

Lucky ran to the front to attract defensive forces, but at this moment, screams suddenly came from behind.

Lucky turned his head immediately.

He saw Giroud lying on the ground, holding his waist and looking in pain.

Beside him, Subotic looked innocent.

"Girou is lying on the ground. He looks in pain from his expression, but he is definitely not injured!"

At this time, the referee also ran over and showed a yellow card to Subotic. Then he just looked at his own eyes and said: "I have been watching, you saw you pushing someone!"

Now, Subotic had no words to defend himself.

The referee immediately pointed to the penalty spot.

"To make matters worse! When the situation is not optimistic, Dortmund was awarded another penalty kick. If this penalty kick is scored, Dortmund's situation will become even worse!"

At this time, slow motion also appeared.

It can be clearly seen from the slow motion that after Giroud took off, Subotic was injured and pushed someone in a hurry.

Moreover, this push on the waist caused Giroud to lose his center of gravity in the air and fall hard to the ground.

This ball was a flagrant foul penalty.

"Subotic is really anxious. He uses this kind of pushing action, and he uses it against his old teammates. Obviously this is a move based on defensive pressure."

"Subotic is still not qualified to work as a back three. Although he played well in the league before, this is because the pressure is not high enough. After switching to a team like Arsenal, the pressure will instantly become another level!"

"Subotic's problem has been completely exposed!"

"I don't think this is a problem with the defenders. Instead, it's the head coach who is too obsessed with the three-back formation that causes the defenders to panic!"

"This is a mistake in judgment by the head coach!"

In the field, Giroud has stood up.

He held his waist, obviously unable to recover for a while.

Lucky asked: "Do you need to replace someone?"

Giroud shook his head, then turned to look at the penalty spot, and then looked at Lucky.

Lucky blinked and couldn't help but smile and said, "Here you go! You take the penalty kick!"

Hearing this, Giroud showed a hint of embarrassment and said: "I need a Champions League goal!"

Lucky nodded: "If you want to play in the future, just tell me, I trust your shooting ability!"

In response, Giroud showed a happy smile.

When Lucky stuffed the ball into Giroud's arms, the opponent happily ran to the penalty spot, as if he had forgotten the pain in his waist.

Giroud stood at the penalty spot and he became the focus of the audience.

Arsenal fans couldn't help but be a little nervous. After all, it was not Lucky who took the penalty kick, which made them feel not particularly safe.

But they also tried to trust Giroud.

Facing his old teammates, Giroud did not make any conversation.

On the other hand, Burki repeated over and over again:

"Hey! Oliver, I know which side you want to play on? I know a lot about you!"

Giroud turned a deaf ear to Burki's words and quickly retreated to open up the running distance.

After waiting for the referee's signal, Giroud immediately ran.

"Giroud run!"

Giroud ran all the way to the penalty spot without any rhythm change at all, but directly chose to shoot.

"Lower left corner! This ball is there!!!"

The commentator paused for a moment, mainly because the goalkeeper guessed the right direction and pounced.

However, the ball still hit the opponent's forearm and penetrated from below.

"This goal was really dangerous. Burki almost saved Giroud's penalty, but the result was good. Arsenal successfully scored the penalty and led 1:0!"

After Giroud confirmed the goal, he rushed towards the stands and vented his excitement.

In fact, when Burki pounced on the ball just now, he was also shocked.

Fortunately he scored, otherwise he would really have been sprayed.

After all, he asked for the ball from Lucky, not Lucky who gave it to him.

Arsenal finally broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute.

After holding on for such a long time, Dortmund finally failed to hold the goal.

Not only did the central defender get a yellow card, but he was also awarded a penalty kick, which was a loss outweighing the gain.

At this time, many people have begun to complain about the three-back lineup, and are also questioning the ability of head coach Bosz.

They felt that it was Bose's stubbornness that led to the loss!
