There is a belief called football

Chapter 361
Facing "Lichtsteiner", Li Qiao chose "Strike" for the first time. He pulled the ball towards him under his feet, and then quickly moved forward. After the ball traveled a long distance, Li Qiao prepared to speed up and overtake.

But this time, Li Qiao obviously took it for granted. "Lichtsteiner" turned around very quickly, and Li Qiao couldn't make it through at all. In the end, he could only watch the ball slowly roll out of the baseline. In the first round of competition, Li Qiao lost!
"Dortmund"'s offense is characterized by sharp wings, and the two full-backs of "Juventus" are not vegetarians. "Evra" on the left used to play for Manchester United and was the best left-back in Ferguson's era.

"Lichtsteiner" on the right is even stronger. The Swiss has never suffered from defending "Di Maria" in the World Cup. Facing Li Qiao, he looks very confident.

In fact, it is not necessary to open the situation on both sides of the wing attack, as long as one side is open, whether it is Royce or Li Qiao, as long as one side can break through and create a local advantage, then the defense of "Juventus" will loosen itself.

"Dortmund"'s midfielder "Mkhitaryan" also knows this, so he often passes the ball to two wings, try on the left and try on the right to see which side can make a breakthrough.

When it is obvious that it is difficult to break through on both sides today, why not give it to Aubameyang in front?
That's because although "Aubameyang" is taller than Li Qiao, he is not a center in his bones. It would be great if Dortmund had an air fighter on the front line, such as "Llorente" on the Juventus bench.

In that case, someone in the penalty area can hold the ball, even if it is only a few tens of seconds, Li Qiao and Royce can also press on, but "Aubameyang" can't hold the ball at all under the double-team of "Chiellini" and "Bonucci", even if he barely unloads the ball, it will only take a few seconds.

In fact, sometimes when the field is evenly matched, it is really useful to have a high center forward. This is why Spanish football is so strong, and it is necessary to "naturalize" the Brazilian "Costa", because the strong "Costa" can hold the ball in the penalty area.

Klopp wiped his glasses and put them on again. He knew the problem-whether the wing could pass!There was a chance in the past, but if you can't pass it, there is no hope for this game. Maybe Klopp can buy a high center forward when he transfers in the summer, but don't think about those unrealistic things now.

Klopp returned to the bench and exchanged a few words with "Ramos". The Colombian is currently the player closest to the "center forward" in the "Dortmund" team.

Klopp went back and forth on the tactical board and asked: "Can you do it"?
The Colombian replied: "I can",
But from the tone, Klopp clearly heard that "Ramos" was not confident at all.

"I want the truth," Klopp snapped.

"Well, I admit that I don't think I can beat Chiellini up there,"
Klopp patted Ramos with a smile. As long as the players tell the truth, Klopp can understand, and then he set his sights on the Greek "Papa".

"Hey, warm up," said Klopp.

"Papastathopoulos" didn't understand why, because now the team is one goal behind, how could the coach think of changing the defender?
"What are you waiting for, I'll give you five minutes," Klopp said.

When "Papastathopoulos" rushed out of the bench, "Allegri" was nervous because he vaguely knew what Klopp wanted to do.

Although "Hummels" is a central defender, he showed his excellent offensive ability in the World Cup in Brazil. Now Klopp must want to push "Hummels" to play as a center forward!

Li Qiao broke through 3 times on the wing, but the Swiss not only blocked the position well each time, but also had a fast speed. Li Qiao really had nothing to do.

The success rate of non-sudden passing on the football field is very low. Now the whole "Juventus" team knows that "Dortmund" is breaking through from the side, so it is very simple to defend.

After "Lichtsteiner" kicked the ball out of the sideline again, Dortmund immediately replaced, "Papa" replaced "Aubameyang", "Papa" ran to Hummels' position after playing and whispered to him.

After "Hummels" stood in Juventus' penalty area, the front midfielder had three shots.

Mkhitaryan passed a high ball to "Hummels" in the penalty area, who was fighting for a header from "Chiellini".

When Chiellini grabbed the high ball, there were a lot of small movements in his hands. He kept pushing "Hummels" out, but Chiellini obviously couldn't push "Hummels".

"Hummels" jumped high and flew the ball to the right. Royce over there made a high-speed shot. The ball was not suppressed, but Klopp was very happy, "This method is feasible."

A high center forward in the penalty area is like a thorn in the heart of "Juventus". At least for now, the defense of "Juventus" can only stay behind obediently and cannot press forward.

Another lob into the penalty area, Hummels grabbed the ball again, but this time he ferried to Li Qiao on the left. Without the ball, "Lichtsteiner" couldn't run Li Qiao.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Allegri immediately replaced "Pirlo" with "Pereira" to strengthen the defense.

The corner kick was taken, and the German air fighter "Hummels" grabbed the ball again, but it was a pity that the top of the ball was too high. "Allegri" knew that this situation would definitely not work, but at this time he had nothing to do. Now Dortmund has high points, wide areas, and more blooming points. No matter how good Juventus' defense is, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.

*****
"Allegri" made a hand-closed gesture towards the players on the field, which means that the full-backs are closed. "Allegri" wants to reduce the defensive gap by tightening the formation and strengthening the protection between players.

But this just gave Dortmund a chance on the wing, especially Li Qiao. There was no space, and Li Qiao's speed had nowhere to play. Now that Juventus' full-backs have retracted, Li Qiao has more gaps on the wing.

After the Juventus formation retracted, it was indeed more difficult for "Hummels" in the middle to get the ball. "Mkhitaryan" gave the ball to Li Qiao. After Li Qiao rushed 20 meters, he met "Lichtsteiner".

Li Qiao was very straightforward this time, using a oxtail, pretending to cut inside, but actually cutting the bottom.And "Lichtsteiner" was taken aback by Li Qiao's fake move, and when he came to his senses, Li Qiao had already left his two positions, and he could pass the ball easily.

We know that on the football field, there is no room for turning around in "tackles". If the opponent smashes the ball, then the defensive player has no possibility of remedial action.

At this time, Li Qiao was very calm. Facing "Lichtsteiner", he pulled the ball with his left foot and avoided "Lichtsteiner"'s tackle. At this time, Li Qiao's best choice was to pass to "Hummels".

After passing "Lichtsteiner", Li Qiao did not pass the ball immediately, but continued to dribble the ball in the middle. At this time, "Chiellini" was very difficult to deal with. If he pounced, "Hummels" behind him was left unattended.

But the Dortmund players did not give the Juventus players a chance to hesitate. Li Qiao passed back in an inverted triangle in front of the small penalty area, and Mkhitaryan had already followed.
*****
When Dortmund scored a goal, Klopp punched passionately, and he still punched the Juventus fans. This action caused a lot of boos, but Klopp's personality is not afraid of boos.

On the other side, "Allegri"'s face was livid, because if it ends with this score, it means that Dortmund can advance to the next game as long as 0-0. Considering that the strength of the two teams is similar, if Dortmund has a bus at home, the possibility of 0-0 is still very high.

"I can't let this happen," Allegri thought.

He decisively replaced the "air tyrant" Llorente. Time was running out in the second half, and Allegri hoped to score at least one more goal.

Klopp also immediately made changes. Hummels returned to the defense and played a formation of 5 defenders. In any case, he must maintain the 1-1 score until the end.

After "Llorente" came on the field, Juventus began to pass long balls. The effect was actually quite good. The Juventus midfielders had good skills, and "Llorente" was also known as an air bully, but under the defense of "Hummels", it was difficult for "Llorente" to grab the ball, let alone a comfortable header.

Just when Juventus was pressing across the board, Dortmund made a counterattack. Midfielder Gundogan made a long pass, and Li Qiao was offside.

But this time it was a shock, Juventus did not dare to continue to press, 1 to 1 is barely acceptable, if it is 1 to 2, then Juventus will be out early.

Neither side scored any more goals in the last few minutes, and the score remained 1-1. Everything depends on the second leg in three weeks.

　Happy Chinese New Year to everyone
