There is a belief called football

Chapter 302

Klopp is a very extroverted coach, the kind of person whose emotions are all written on his face. When he scores a goal, he will jump high and punch the air to vent his inner emotions. His most famous celebration is a set of "combo punches".

And when the game is passive, he will also frown and tell the players clearly, "I'm not happy."

Now he is relatively passive on the court. Klop puts his cheeks on his hands. In fact, the problem lies in the midfielder. The former team captain "Kyle" has indeed suffered a severe decline in running ability. It is difficult for the 34-year-old Kyle to adapt to such a fast game rhythm in the Bundesliga.

Klopp has started to consider the replacement of the old and new teams since this year. For example, in the goalkeeper position, he used the Australian goalkeeper "Langerak" and abandoned the team veteran "Weidenfeller".

After watching for a while, Klopp was going to learn from a person, the person he least liked-"Guardiola".

After Guardiola introduced Alonso, he used it very successfully. Alonso and Kyle's situation is very similar. They are both once brilliant and now slightly old players.

So Guardiola put Alonso in the position of the back midfielder, that is, the position between the two central defenders. This move seems to be very good now.Alonso does not need to run too much in this position, but he can give full play to his experience and ability to organize offense.

Klopp gestured to the two central defenders and asked Subotic, Gentle pulled away, then he pointed to Kyle and waved back, Kyle immediately understood Klopp's tactical intentions, and he immediately played the role played by Bayern "Alonso".

After a simple adjustment, the effect was immediately apparent. Gentle's physical fitness is very good, and he is not nervous anymore with a big brother "supporting him".

Leverkusen's two "wings"-Sun Xingmin and Bella Rabi are both extremely fast players. After Dortmund changed to 4141, Subotic, Kyle, and Gentle formed a good triangle defense, which immediately blocked the originally large space in the ribs. In this way, it is not so easy for Leverkusen's two wingers to break through.

After solving the defensive problem, Klopp began to observe the team's offense. Royce did not even participate in the World Cup due to injury. Although the injury is now healed, he has not played an official game for 3 months, and his state is not as good as before.

Fortunately, the "Gabonian" striker "Aubameyang" is in a very hot state. The Gabonese sprint speed of 40 meters is said to be faster than Bolt.Many people will say that this is meaningless, it is better than 100 meters, but the short-distance sprint ability on the football field is more important, so this data can still explain the strength of "Aubameyang".

But "Aubameyang" on the left winger position was unlucky in this game. He met the Croatian monster defender "Jedvay" born in 1995. The 1-meter-tall Croatian just transferred from "Roma" to Leverkusen this season. The little guy is fast and strong.

Aubameyang forcibly overtook several times but failed. "Jedvay" held down "Aubameyang" very well, letting the Gabonese know what it means to be afraid of young people. Now the post-95s in European football have come out to play the main force. It is indeed a very scary thing.

"Royce" on the right is not in good condition, "Aubameyang" on the left is restricted again, and the wing attack that Dortmund relies on for survival is blocked.

Klopp turned his head and glanced at the bench. He still has a few options for the wing position-the Polish "Kuba", the German teenager "Gross Kreutz", and the Chinese "Li Qiao".

But he just took a look and made a backup. It was only 15 minutes in the first half. Unless someone was injured, it was impossible for Klopp to use up the precious substitutions at this time.

Klopp made a fish-swimming gesture at Royce. He meant that Royce "running through" in the frontcourt. When he is in good shape, fans can see "Robin Man" (Royce's nickname) anywhere in the frontcourt, left, right, and middle.

But today Royce’s condition is obviously not good, and his running has decreased a lot. Of course, Klopp knows it, but a coach of this level has a principle-if it doesn’t work, tell me before the game, I won’t send you on the field, and since you are on the field, don’t tell me you can’t do it.

"Marco (Royce), can you do it?"?Klopp yelled loudly.

Royce gave Klopp an OK gesture, and Klopp also responded with a thumbs up gesture. After all, the UEFA Champions League will start in a month. Even if the league is sacrificed, Royce has to play to find the feeling.

*****
In the 22nd minute of the game, Kyle made a direct pass from the backcourt to find the midfielder "Mkhitaryan". The Armenian had already observed the position of his teammates and the opponent's defender before receiving the ball.

"Toprak" was not far behind "Mkhitaryan", with that look about to move, Mkhitaryan knew what he wanted to do.

Mkhitaryan chose not to stop the ball, and directly kicked the ball with his back and heel and passed it to Royce who was on the right.

Leverkusen defended Reus with the left back "Bernisch". The 1-meter-tall "Bernisch" played as a full-back. This is estimated to only appear in the Bundesliga. Even the German team that won the World Cup used the central defender "Herwedes" as a left back.

But Royce was very fast. He didn't stop the ball and went straight forward to pass the ball. Bernish was about to pull the ball, but he looked at his feet and saw that he was already on the penalty area line. If he pulled the ball, it might be a penalty kick.

Taking advantage of "Bernisch"'s brief distraction, Royce has already entered the penalty area. Facing the attacking "Leno", Royce pushed and shot from the far corner.

Among the new generation of goalkeepers in Germany, Neuer, Ter Stegen and Leno can be said to be the three best goalkeepers.

Facing Royce's push, Leno posed in an "I" shape with his legs split apart. Finally, Leno's toes rubbed the football and the ball rolled out of the baseline.

Behind Leno is the famous Dortmund "South Stand". This area is all standing seats. This side of the stand alone can accommodate 2 people, which is equal to the entire capacity of many teams in the Super League.

So when the ball went wide, there was a tsunami-like sound from the south stand, and nearly 3 people shouted Royce's name in unison.

Royce ran to the corner flag area to take a corner kick. The German fans would raise their hands horizontally when their team took the set kick, and at the same time yelled "uh..." in a low voice. When the player kicked the ball, everyone shouted "hey..." in unison.

When Royce was standing in the corner flag area, and the fans in the South Stand hummed in unison, Li Qiao, who was on the bench, felt a spiritual shock, which is not the case for domestic fans. Li Qiao thought: "If I stand there to take the corner kick now, will my legs be weak?"
Royce took a corner kick and Ginter grabbed the header from the middle. Unfortunately, it was too high and did not take the blame. But there is no doubt that every shot of Dortmund will cause a burst of applause from the fans.

*****
Five minutes later, Leverkusen returned the favor and played a very simple offense. After the ball quickly passed through the midfield, Charhanoglu kicked the ball to Sun Xingmin on the left, where "Pishchek" was defending.

A year ago, Piszczek was still one of the best right backs in Europe, and even had an affair with Real Madrid, but after an operation and a long period of recuperation after the operation, Piszczek's state is not as good as before.

Just like the Brazilian "Maicon" back then, he suddenly seemed to be a different person.

When Sun Xingmin met Piszczek, he fought for speed and sprinted for 30 meters, but the Koreans are very thieves. If it was just a sprint, Piszczek could still keep up, but the Korean suddenly braked suddenly. Piszczek couldn't react in time and slid out on the lawn.

Sun Xingmin looked at the middle, and "Kiesling" was inserted between "Ginter" and "Subotic". Gentle lacked actual combat experience, and he should have leaned towards "Subotic", but he remembered what the coach said during the youth training - "keep parallel with your teammates".

So he didn't move, and as a result, Kisling headed the ball in easily, but "Langerak" was focused, and he jumped to lift the ball over the bar.

The goal was missed, but Leverkusen warned Dortmund with a fast break.

*****
Li Qiao's head on the bench basically kept turning, from right to left, from left to right, because the pace of the game was fast, Dortmund's attack had just ended, and Leverkusen had already counterattacked.

The domestic rhythm of taking a breath after one attack is not available here, and this is where Li Qiao needs to adapt. All of Li Qiao's previous outstanding performances were not achieved under such a high-speed operation.

For example, playing Go well without timing is not a skill, but under the condition of timing, being good at fast chess is the real skill.

Li Qiao said to his teammate "Weidenfeller": "The rhythm of the Bundesliga is similar to that of the Premier League."

Weidenfeller laughed and said: "Of course, there is only one difference, that is, German players will not kick their opponents' heads with spikes."

"Hehe, the Germans never forget to ridicule the English. It seems that the two countries' football problems will never be resolved," Li Qiao thought.

The two sides played very fiercely in the first half, basically launching an attack every 30 seconds, but apart from the sneak attack of "Bella Rabbi" at the beginning, neither side scored any more goals in the rest of the first half.

When the midfield ended, Klopp still seemed to feel quite relaxed, perhaps he had seen the opponent's weakness.
