Chapter 48 Red Card with Penalty

After coach Schaff explained the tactics, he looked at his players seriously.

"I know this is difficult. You have to withstand the opponent's crazy attack and save your physical strength to the final stage of counterattack, especially the offensive players who play all over the game!"

Shaf said as he looked at Lin Quan and asked:

"Lin, do you still have the strength to run?"

Lin Quan nodded. Although his physical energy was consumed a lot, he still had the system of physical potion as a later move.

If it really doesn't work, you can spend some points to buy a physical potion, which can be used for thirty minutes!

"Okay, then I won't replace you. The team needs your breakthrough ability to rewrite the score. In the second half of the game, you pay attention to allocating your physical fitness to ensure that you have the strength to start the sprint in the final stage. Do you understand?"

Lin Quan nodded heavily, and he clearly felt how heavy the expectations in the head coach's tone were!

Fifteen minutes later, the game started again.

The crazy goals in the last stage of the first half made Dortmund's players completely recover from the confused state of the opening.

They firmly believe that they are invincible at home and that the enemy cannot stop their offensive!

So, as soon as the second half began, Dortmund's players continued to firmly implement their frontcourt pressing tactics.

This kind of running without hesitation is probably only a team like Dortmund, which has been experiencing blood for many years, can be implemented!

Werder Bremen's players are obviously not good, they can't beat others at all.

Of course, the limitations of this kind of playing style are also very large.

When the players get older and more injuries, the execution of this tactic will decline seriously.

Moreover, after other opponents in the league gradually adapted to this style of play, they quickly developed targeted tactics.

Therefore, after several seasons at its peak, if the team's tactical style cannot be further improved and changed, the team's performance may plummet.

Historically, Dortmund's record began to decline gradually after the 12-13 season, and even became a relegation team in the 14-15 season.

If the team hadn't recovered in the final stage, scored 13 points in six games and broke out of the relegation zone, they might have been relegated.

This way, it is easy for players to suffer injuries. Take Dortmund's new player Reus as an example. After joining Dortmund, he began to experience frequent injuries and several times due to injuries.

The reason for missing the national team's game!

A large part of this is caused by Klopp's tactical style.

Just like this season, Liverpool's wounded soldiers are full of camps.

Klopp is a good coach, but not for all players.

Like Lin Quan, he thinks he is not suitable for Klopp's tactical play, and in the same way, there is Simeone of Atletico Madrid.

On the field, Dortmund's players were pressing and running very hard.

But the opponent no longer cooperated with them. Werder Bremen did not speed up with them like they did at the beginning of the first half, nor did they play against them.

Instead, he set up a set of iron barrel formations, hoarded a large amount of troops in his own half and used intensive defense to limit the opponent's attack.

Dortmund's offensive firepower is indeed very strong, but when the opponent sets up the iron barrel formation, they don't have a good idea.

There are too many people in the penalty area, and Werder Bremen has replaced several physically energetic players.

The active fighting of these players made their offense fail many times, so they began to try to shoot long shots outside the penalty area.

Long shots and set pieces are conventional means to deal with intensive defense.

Since Werder Bremen dares to set up the iron barrel formation, he will not be unprepared for this.

They use regional defense to limit the opponent's passes and ensure that the opponent's most threatening midfielders always have defensive players around them at any time to interfere with their shots.

With the interference of the shooting, Dortmund's players shot several anti-aircraft guns in a row, but failed to pose a threat to Werder Bremen's goal.

Klopp on the sidelines couldn't sit still, and his opponent's tactic was simply disgusting.

He wanted to ask Schaff: You are behind in the score, what's the use of defense?

If we drag on this score, we Dortmund will win in the end!

Are you willing to accept a failure?

If the team leading at this time is Barcelona, ​​then the opponent dares to set up the iron barrel formation and will give Barcelona a victory.

They can use the pass to delay time and waste the opponent to death!

However, the passing and control tactics are not Dortmund's style, and they do not have such tactic options.

So Klopp can only let the players play more patiently. Now they are the ones leading the score, and the opponents should be anxious about it.

If it weren't for his home court, he would have wanted the players to withdraw to his own half to play a defensive counterattack.

However, judging from the opponent's way, if they really retreat, the opponent may not attack.

If the opponent does not attack, the two teams will be busing in their own half, so the game will be so ugly. The fans at the scene will not boo!

Klopp is shameless, anyway, he leads the score, so he doesn't have to do that too much.

If the team can score another goal, the outcome of this game will lose suspense, and there will be nothing to worry about at that time!

Klopp looked forward to the team scoring another goal, but his expectations were vain.

Under the united defense of Werder Bremen players, Dortmund attacked for more than 20 minutes and never broke through the opponent's goal again.

In the past twenty minutes, their possession rate exceeded 70%, and they shot 17 shots, including 12 long shots, almost siegeing the opponent's goal.

Unfortunately, there were many shots, but less than half of them were shot directly, and there were no shots that scored.

Having not scored for a long time, and the effect of the previous blood-sucking effect faded, Dortmund's players began to enter a bottleneck period of physical fitness, and their running speed and enthusiasm on the court began to decline significantly.

In the 55th minute of the game, as the opponent's physical fitness declined, the pressure on the front court decreased.

Werder Bremen’s players finally started a counterattack!

They instantly raised the rhythm of the game, and changed their previous sluggish defense, and began to attack Dortmund.

Dortmund's players were obviously startled. The opponent was pressed to the ground and rubbed for more than twenty minutes. They almost habitually thought that their opponent would not fight back.

As a result, when they slacked off a little, their opponent launched a crazy counterattack.

This made Dortmund players feel a little bad!

"Does this be your tactic, and you dare not fight the whole game, and only fight for the five minutes after the opening and the five minutes before the end?"

Dortmund's head coach Klopp took the lead in reacting and guessing the opponent's intentions.

When he thought of his opponent's sharp counterattack at the beginning and those two goals lost, his heart jumped sharply and immediately realized the danger!

"Hurry up, retreat and don't let the opponent's counterattack come out!"

If Werder Bremen can still play the terrible counterattack in the first half, then Dortmund's goal will be in danger!

They only lead one goal, and if they are scored by the opponent, they will return to the same starting line!

Now there is not much time left for the game. Once they draw, they may not have time to score another goal to reverse the score.

If that happens, they will be dragged into a penalty shootout by the opponent!

So, is this your real purpose?

Klopp turned his head and looked at the opponent's coach's seat. On the other side, Werder Bremen's coach was already standing on the sidelines, looking at the field with bright eyes, watching the team's counterattack.

Klopp's guess is very accurate. Werder Bremen really wants to drag the game into a penalty shootout.

After a whole game, their physical fitness was almost gone, and they could only support them in completing a high-quality counterattack.

If this ball is done, then they may be able to rise up Yu Yong, defend hard, and persist in the last few minutes of regular time.

If this counterattack fails, they will be unable to rewrite the score and can only accept the result of the loss.

This opportunity for counterattack was obtained by the team's efforts to defend the team in the second half and not allowing the opponent to expand the score.

Otherwise, once the score difference exceeds one goal, even if they play a counterattack, it will be useless.

So, you must not miss this opportunity!

The football quickly passed from Werder Bremen's backcourt to the frontcourt and to De Bruyne's feet.

Under the pull of Dortmund No. 5 player, he tried his best to pass the ball before falling to the ground.

At the moment he fell to the ground, he saw the No. 10 player in the green jersey in the frontcourt sprinting at full speed.

Lin, it depends on you, you must score a goal!

Lin Quan did not want to let De Bruyne down. He walked for more than ten minutes in the second half just to retain his strength for this fatal blow.

And now, it's time to use them!

After receiving the ball, he lay down, avoided Dortmund No. 7 Leitner's robbery, and broke into the penalty area with one step, passing Gentle who made up for defense.

There are no defensive players in front of him, only goalkeepers are left!

So, Lin Quan decisively raised his foot and aimed at the goal to prepare for a shot.

At this moment, a figure rushed out from the back and fell to the ground and tackled the ball before Lin Quan shot.

The ball was kicked away, and Lin Quan fell into the penalty area.

The audience couldn't help but stand up and looked at the referee, wondering how he would make a penalty.

The referee rushed into the penalty area immediately and pointed his hand at the penalty spot.

Penalty!
