Chapter 31 A Miraculous Array Change, Tuchel Falls Victim

Domestic football fans have gone crazy.

The match between Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen was broadcast on multiple platforms and by CCTV.

Before the match started, fans were surprised to learn that Yuan Meng was not in the starting lineup.

For a time, voices condemning Tuchel were heard everywhere.

Xie An also angrily cursed in the live broadcast room.

"What a load of rubbish, what a great coach!"

"God Yuan saved his dog's life, and he actually repaid kindness with enmity!"

"Brothers, in what ways do you think Pulisic is better than Yuan Shen?"

【that is! 】

Enough said, I'm betting on Leverkusen!

[Tu Hai betrayed Yuan Shen and will surely be punished by the gods!]

"There's another piece of news."

"Before the match, Yuan Shen praised head coach Tuchel on social media, calling him a wise mentor."

"And the result?"

"Yuan Shen has actually been benched!"

"Do they think switching to a 4-2-3-1 formation with two defensive midfielders is something special?"

"Then I'll have to ask."

Xie An pulled out a book from some corner and pointed it at the camera.

"Dear Answer Book, please clarify whether Leverkusen can defeat Dortmund in this match!"

Follow your intuition

"My intuition?"

"How can Dortmund win if Yuan Shen doesn't start?"

"Unless Yuan Shen comes off the bench and performs a divine intervention, Dortmund is destined to lose!"

Well said!

[Add another 200 to Leverkusen!]

Calm down, Lao Xie is betting on the Sea of ​​the Dead!

Holy crap, can the platform offer a refund?

Yuan Meng's placement on the bench surprised many commentators, and a public opinion storm is brewing.

At this time, Dortmund was also in the midst of a crisis on the field.

Tuchel, standing on the sidelines, frowned, rarely showing his emotions.

勒沃库森竟然排出4-4-2阵型,这与他们锺爱的4-2-3-1大相逕庭。

Not only did the formation change during the match, but the players' positions were also adjusted.

Bayer Leverkusen's main attacking player, star player number 10 Hakan Çalhanoğlu, was surprisingly playing in the left midfield position.

The two midfielders are the defensive Aránguiz and the playmaker Kampl.

Kampl was specifically positioned in the left midfield near Çalhanoğlu, and the two complemented each other smoothly.

This tactic was definitely not a flash of inspiration; it was carefully designed and trained.

A sly glint flashed in Leverkusen coach Schmidt's eyes.

You made the right bet!

Tuchel indeed started Pulisic.

A typical coach might field the recently outstanding Yuan Meng, but Tuchel is different.

This man, who is loyal to his own tactics, definitely wants to gain the initiative.

Therefore, it was foreseeable that Pulisic, who has a stronger impact, would be sent out.

At this point, using Çalhanoğlu, the team's most capable player, on the flanks exposed Pulisic's weakness in defensive support!

As for Dortmund's star left-winger Dembele, he is defended by the well-rounded winger Brandt and the defensive full-back Bender. This makes it wishful thinking for Dortmund to attack down the flanks!

Tuchel also noticed this; his pre-match strategy had been countered!

He quickly adjusted his tactics, abandoning the aggressive pushes down the flanks and instead allowing the midfield to control the ball and penetrate vertically.

It's not that Tuchel didn't have better tactical options; it's just that the schedule was so packed that there wasn't enough time to practice new tactics.

Why not use the vertical penetration that the players are most familiar with?

Schmidt smiled slightly, and the second layer of tactical arrangements became apparent.

Having just returned from European competition, Castro was visibly fatigued, and in the 4-2-3-1 formation, his role as an attacking midfielder was particularly demanding.

Leverkusen's defensive midfielder Aránguiz has marked Castro closely.

Aránguiz remembered his coach's instructions and used his body to entangle Castro, speeding up his stamina depletion, hoping that Tuchel would use his substitution at halftime.

Despite dominating possession with 70%, Dortmund conceded three shots on goal under Leverkusen's targeted tactics.

The match had just reached the 20th minute.

"Look what I just said!"

"Without Yuan Shen, Tuchel is nothing!"

"After losing to Leipzig in the second round and then to Leverkusen in this match, does Borussia Dortmund still want to compete in next season's Champions League?"

Holy crap, did Lao Xie actually guess right?

[Bet back! Against Bayer Leverkusen!]

[Stay calm! What if Yuan Shen comes on in the second half?]

The thought of Yuan Meng possibly playing suddenly calmed the Happy Bean Warriors down.

"Let's see this attack!"

"Leverkusen's two midfielders combined to win the ball, and Castro couldn't handle it, resulting in a possession error!"

"Kampl passes the ball to the wing, and Çalhanoğlu delivers a cross!"

"Hernandez has drawn the attention of the center-back near the post; this is a well-planned move to get into position!"

"Mohammedi's header!"

"GOAL!!!!!"

"Bayer Leverkusen is in phenomenal form!"

"Tuchel's nepotism has been punished by God!"

"Bayer Leverkusen leads 1-0!"

【pretty!】

[Divine Punishment!]

[Let's get hyped up by Yuan Shen!]

Yuan Meng, sitting on the bench, sneezed. Why are so many people thinking about me?

Even when his team was behind, he remained calm and showed an inexplicable trust in Tuchel.

Who is Tu Shuai?

He transformed Mainz, a poor and weak team with no money, into a stable mid-table team, even frequently defeating strong Bundesliga teams, making them arguably the toughest opponent among mid-table teams.

In Germany, he is hailed as the tactical mastermind closest to Guardiola.

Yuan Meng firmly believes that Tuchel will make good tactical adjustments, so she can stay on the bench with peace of mind.

Until the 43th minute of the match.

Pulisic was asked to track back more often and struggled to find his rhythm on the offensive end.

Dembele was tightly marked and often faced attacks from two or even three opponents.

Young coach Schmidt knew that Dortmund's full-backs had little attacking ability, and that marking the two wingers effectively neutralized Dortmund's flank threat.

When Pulisic got a rare opportunity to break through, he charged forward without hesitation.

"Don't rush!" Castro had just gotten rid of Aránguiz when he saw Pulisic lose the ball.

By the time he tried to chase back, Leverkusen had already launched a counterattack with a long pass.

"Here it comes! Henrys intercepted the ball and made a long pass to Mohammedi."

"Sokratis defended strongly, and Mehmedi had no choice but to head the ball back."

"pretty!"

"Kampl receives a back pass and makes a first-time through ball!"

"It's another cross from Çalhanoğlu!"

"That's Leverkusen's combination play on the wings and in the center!"

"Hernandez chests the ball down, he's one-on-one with the goalkeeper!"

"GOAL!!!!!"

"Bayer Leverkusen's two strikers, one tall and one fast, are displaying their full power!"

"Of course, this is all thanks to Bayer Leverkusen's star player, Hakan Çalhanoğlu!"

"He tore apart Dortmund's defense with two assists."

"Schmidt cleverly bypassed Dortmund's two defensive midfielders in this match and resolutely delivered crosses!"

"On the other hand, what about Tuchel?"

"Stubborn!"

What kind of tactical mastermind is Tuchel?

[Not as good as their 4-4-2 bomb!]

Simple tactics are often the most effective.

Look at Bayer Leverkusen's tactical change!

[Hey everyone, get out of class dismissed!]

"The halftime statistics are out. Dembele and Pulisic were completely shut down throughout the match, and the two received the lowest scores of the game."

"The best player for Dortmund is goalkeeper Bürki."

"Aside from two excellent chances, he saved all four of his other shots."

"The defensive pressure is already this high, what do we do when the game gets too exciting?"

The atmosphere in the Dortmund locker room was unexpectedly somber.

The result of 0-2 was unexpected by everyone.

Even playing away from home, this shouldn't be their performance.

Tuchel appeared very silent; now was not the time to boost morale, but rather the tactics had gone wrong.

Tuchel's ball control was fine; the key issue was that Leverkusen's 4-4-2 formation shut him down after he penetrated the attacking third.

Rodeben started today to strengthen the midfield defense.

The results of it?

Weigl and Rode were both bypassed, and Çalhanoğlu broke through their flanks.

This is related to the rest of left-back Schmelzer; substitute Passlack is simply too weak.

Once there's an opening on the left flank, Leverkusen's right flank threat increases dramatically. After attracting a lot of defenders, the ball is then switched to the other side, where Çalhanoğlu delivers a cross.

This is the power of flying on two wings. If you lose one wing, you will be targeted mercilessly. If you have both wings, you can widen the gap and easily shift the strength of the weak side.

But Tuchel understands that the greater responsibility lies with him.

Being down by two goals was entirely due to tactical decision-making errors.

After a long while, Tuchel arrived at the tactics board.

"Change players."

"Right winger: Yuan Meng comes on, Pulisic comes off."

Left-back: Schmelzer on top, Passlack off.

Yuan Meng was completely confused.

So, after all that, Tuchel's tactical adjustment was simply to send himself up?
