Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 181

In terms of intelligence, East Asians are among the best in the world. It’s not Zhang Yuan himself, Ah Q, but that’s how it is. China’s history and civilization are much longer than those of the West. Whose ancestors do you think are smarter? !

Many Europeans and Caucasians are just deceiving themselves and others, but when it comes to physical fitness, there is no way. Westerners are better on average in this regard!
However, there are no exceptions. Didn’t Zhang Yuan play the main force here? There are also many players from Japan and South Korea playing in Europe. Given time, Chinese football can also rise!

Schalke 04's Farfan has come back, but Rutten still did not send out a 424-[-]-[-] formation in this game. Facing Dortmund, he did not dare to relax the team's defense at all. After a few games, he can be considered a little bit , In his position, the results are number one, so let's take our time to imprint the team.

So in this game, he still formed a 433 formation, and placed 3 defensive players in the midfield. Englar did not come back. , Ernst's three midfielders, Rakitic was abandoned by him in this game.

Rakitic has not been in a particularly good state recently whether he is playing in the midfield or attacking from the side, so he was sent to the bench by Rutten in such a crucial battle.

On the back line, Rutten still used the lineup from the previous game. The right back Rafinha, the center back is still Bolton and Hewedes partner, Digan still failed to enter the starting lineup, and Rakity was on the bench. Odd companion.

The left back is Pandel. Pandel took the main position for several consecutive games after Ruteng came up. Ruteng valued his ability to push in. To be honest, his help to Zhang Yuan is still limited, but he can do it Consciousness is still good.

On the front line, Zhang Yuan and Farfan returned, and the two partnered with Kuranyi to play forward.

Dortmund has had a lot of personnel coming and going this summer, but the net expenditure is not much. Their financial crisis has not been completely resolved, and the club can only plan carefully.

Klopp is the coach of the younger generation who pays more attention to offense. When he came to Dortmund and used limited cards, he still focused on offense. He advocated high-position pressing and fast-paced offense.

The starting lineup he sent today is 442.

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller

Defenders: Rukavina, Subotic, Hummels, Lee Young-pyo
Midfielders: Blaszczykowski, Kyle, Hajnaur, Klinger
Forwards: Valdes, Zidan

Compared with the Derby last season, the Brazilian central defender Dede was absent. In this game, Klopp used a young central defender combination. Subotic is his direct descendant introduced from Mainz, and Hummels is He was on loan from Bayern Munich, and Lee Young-pyo was on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Midfielder Hajnaur was introduced from Karlsruhe, and striker Zidan was exchanged from Hamburg.

The entire lineup has undergone major changes, and the actual effect depends on the specific circumstances of the game.

Even though the lineup has changed, and the head coaches of the two teams have changed, both sides know the bottom line, there is no temptation at all, and the fight started from every corner at the beginning.

Compared with last season, Dortmund's tactical arrangements are different this season. Klopp emphasized the frantic pressing of the audience. Rutten arranged three defensive midfielders. It is not a vegetarian. The pass error rate of both sides in the opening stage Both are very high.

But after 10 minutes, Schalke 04 began to take the initiative on the field. If it is about the strength on paper, the current Schalke 04 is still a little higher than Dortmund.

The three midfielders arranged by Rutten played a very important role at this time. After intercepting the ball, they went directly to Zhang Yuan and Farfan on the wing.

Zhang Yuan and Farfan are both players with strong breakthrough ability. Dortmund defends Zhang Yuan from Rukavina. With the help of Bwaszczykowski in front, he still feels the pressure of the stronger Zhang Yuan.

In the 13th minute, Zhang Yuan and Ernst made a two-for-one cooperation. Facing Hajnaur with a light Marseille maneuver, he successfully passed Hajnaur and moved the ball forward. The ball seemed a bit big. Kavina was fooled.

Estimating the speed of the ball and Zhang Yuan's speed, Lukawina chose to go up, but he regretted it when he ran. He had seen Zhang Yuan's speed before, but this time he still underestimated Zhang Yuan's speed.

This time he made another mistake. He couldn't open the bow and didn't turn back. He couldn't steal and had to put the shovel. He chose to put the shovel.

Zhang Yuan is very flexible, and at the same time he is very confident in the distance he waded the ball. Sure enough, Zhang Yuan got the ball before Lukawina put the tackle. The speed of the ball is still very fast, but Zhang Yuan is able to pass the ball Pull back and continue a Marseille roundabout, beautifully avoiding Rukavina's tackle.

Lukavina made a pounce and shoveled into the air. In the eyes of the audience, his top grab was too amateurish.

Rukavina was in tears. It's not as simple as you think. It's just that the opponent is too flexible. He can still control the ball with such a fast speed. What can I do?

Taking two steps horizontally, Zhang Yuan took a long-range shot without hesitation at all, with a long-distance banana ball in the arch of his foot, trying to hit Weidenfeller with a far corner.

"Wow, Zhang Yuan rounded past Hainauer and Rukavina for two consecutive Marseilles, kicked... a long shot! The difference is a hair's breadth! Weidenfeller probably broke out in a cold sweat, the ball slightly deviated from the goal post ! This is Schalke 04's first shot!" shouted Duan Xuan, the commentator of the Sports Channel.

That's right, Schalke 04's first shot was Zhang Yuan's shot. Overall, Schalke 04 and Dortmund were busy fighting in the midfield, and no one took a shot.

Dortmund fans let out a burst of exclamation, but fortunately the goal was not scored!

Zhang Yuan scratched his head in annoyance, what the hell, he was almost there!
Klopp was very dissatisfied with his defense on the sidelines and yelled at the field. It was really hard for Hajnaur and Rukawina. Both of them are relatively flexible players because they are not tall. , but still can't see Zhang Yuan.

Klopp immediately made adjustments, changing positions between captain Kyle and Hajnaur. Kyle is a defensive midfielder with strong defensive ability. The poor record of Dortmund in the past two seasons has a lot to do with him , he was injured too much, so he didn't play a few games. It was too difficult for Dortmund to find a defensive player like him, so the defense was very problematic. Is the one who concedes the most goals in the game not bad? !

Hajnaur is an organizational midfielder, and defense is not his strong point. In the beginning, Klopp arranged him close to Zhang Yuan's side, hoping to use him to beat Bwaszczykowski's side. , but now it seems that the effect is not very good, and when Schalke 04 attacked from Zhang Yuan's side, Haynauer's defense was not so good.

But is it useful for Kyle to come over? !
Kyle shifted to this side, Schalke 04 attacked Zhang Yuan's side, Buvaszczykowski, Lukavina, and Kyle began to attack, Buvaszczykows Ji didn't want to attack at all, and always put his position near the half-court line, in order to jointly strangle Zhang Yuan.

This trick was really useful at the beginning. Zhang Yuan was destroyed by them twice in a row. One time was double-teamed by Kyle and Lukawina. Zhang Yuan successfully got rid of Bwaszczykowski, and it was Kyle who pre-empted the judgment and blocked his way in front of Zhang Yuan, blocking Schalke 04's attack.

Having been fooled twice, Zhang Yuan knew that Dortmund really wanted to see himself dead. If he continued to do so blindly, he would walk into a dead end!

Zhang Yuan also adjusted his strategy in time, and began to seek cooperation with his teammates, using flexible running to deal with Kyle and the others double-teaming him.

Zhang Yuan's running position also began to be erratic. Sometimes he walked in the middle, and the defensive pressure in the middle was even greater, but his breakthrough directions became more and more, and there were many more ways to deal with the ball. Now there is no initiative. The coach will think that Zhang Yuan is a player who can only break through and not pass the ball. Look at the assists and threatening passes in the second half of last season.

Schalke 04 has no attacking midfielder in the middle. Ruteng has arranged three defensive midfielders on the field, and the penetration is very limited. Ruteng's idea is to let Zhang Yuan and Farfan organize the attack in the frontcourt. Far to the center does not conflict with the position of other members of the team.
