There is a belief called football

Chapter 364

In terms of starting lineup, the "Dortmund" side is similar to the first round, the only difference is that Li Qiao started this game.

On the side of Schalke 04, "Di Matteo" has changed a lot. Maybe it was a loss in the first round. In this game, "Di Matteo" put up a 4231 formation, focusing on defense.

Goalkeeper - Fellman.

Defense - Atsuto Uchida, Hewedes, Neustadt, Fox.

The midfielder-Matip, Hogg.

Avant-garde line - Meyer, Boateng, Sane.

Single striker - Huntelaar.

Among them, Schalke 04 sent two "rough brothers" to play the midfielder, which was very lethal to "Dortmund".

Both Matip and Hogg belong to the traditional German-style scavengers. They are very powerful midfielders with mediocre skills and are not responsible for organizing offenses.

"Di Matteo" did this, and the intention is obvious. Today Schalke's midfielder can't pass the ball, or the ball can't pass the ball, but it is impossible to let you pass both.

*****
After Schalke kicked off, the two defensive midfielders basically did not go up. The graphics formed by them and the four central defenders resembled the "Volkswagen" logo. If you think about it, you will know how many defensive triangles this formation contains.

In addition, today's "Di Matteo" starting one is specifically aimed at Li Qiao, that is, the center on the right is "Herwedes", Germany's main player in the World Cup.

That is to say, even if Li Qiao passed "Uchida Atsuto", he would still be sad about "Hervedes". It can be seen that "Di Matteo" has made key research and arrangements on Li Qiao's characteristics.

After the opening of Schalke 04, the ball was passed continuously among the four players in the frontcourt. Schalke did not have a so-called core, so whoever gets the ball is the core.

The ball went to the foot of "Sane" on the left. "Sane" who is an immigrant from "Senegal" has joined the German team. He is very fast on the left. To be honest, except for free kicks, he has similar characteristics to Li Qiao, but he is 2 years younger than Li Qiao.

"Sane" made a quick dunk while running forward on the wing, but "Pishchek" had expected this move a long time ago. He didn't twist his butt to chase "Sane" instead. "Klopp" made this game. The defensive strategy is zone defense instead of man-to-man.

Now it should be the defensive midfielder "Bender" who is responsible for defending "Sane". "Bender" made a shovel with a long leg, "Sane" dunked lightly, and then passed the ball to "Boateng".

Within 5 minutes of the game, the two sides played very conservatively. Even players like Li Qiao and Sane who like to break through will choose to pass the ball instead of breaking through themselves.

This is related to the football philosophy of the head coach "Di Matteo" chosen by Schalke. As an Italian, "Di Matteo" is still conservative in his bones. Even if he led Chelsea to the Champions League, he relied on a solid defense. In addition, "Abramovich" didn't like him because he led the team to play rather ugly.

Since Schalke's midfielder is very fierce today, it is impossible for Li Qiao and Royce to give you a chance to shovel yourself. Speeding up the pass is a kind of self-protection.

After the Schalke midfielder "Boaten" made a mistake with the ball, "Bender" got the ball. He did not pass the ball hastily, but "Klopp" on the sidelines drew a big arc in front of him, which meant that Joe Li was asked to go to the right.

Now in the winger tactics of football, there are many situations where two wingers switch positions, and even two wingers run to one side. "Klopp" just wants Li Qiao to run to the right and Royce to form a "double ghost hit the goal".

Li Qiao crossed the field to the right, which aroused the alert of the Schalke defenders. "Höwedes" and "Neustedt" immediately switched positions, and "Höwedes" switched to the left.

When Royce took the ball forward, Li Qiao turned his back, that is, his back to Schalke's goal.

But "Hewedes" saw through Li Qiao's intentions, and he fouled before Li Qiao took the ball. Although he gave "Dortmund" a free kick in front of the penalty area, he resolved a potential threat.

When "Dortmund" got a free kick in front of the penalty area, "Klopp" secretly clenched his fist. He practiced free kicks many times before the game, and it seems that he can finally use it now.

*****
"Ferman" organized a 6-person wall, watching the ball from the penalty spot, and all the ball paths were blocked.

Li Qiao, Mkhitaryan, and Royce stood in front of the ball to discuss what to do with the ball, and the fans in the audience were also guessing what tricks "Dortmund" would play.

After a brief discussion, all three of them backed away, and the distance from the penalty spot was no more than 3 meters, which means that all three of them may be the ones who took the free kick.

As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, "Ferman" was ready to fight, and finally one of the three started to start, and it was Li Qiao!

Li Qiao made a small run-up, and just before the penalty spot, an incredible scene happened. Li Qiao's left foot tripped over his right foot, and he fell on a big horse.

But when the audience was watching the joke, Royce, who was on the back, kicked a curve ball around the gap in the wall and went straight to the dead corner of the goal.

1 to 0, "Dortmund" is leading!

At this time, everyone just woke up like a dream. Li Qiao's fall was a trick!It was performed on purpose, Schalke fans got angry, booed everywhere, fans crazily insulted "Li Qiao", "Royce" and "Klopp", Schalke 04 fans thought "Dortmund" was too thief.

But the soldiers are not tired of cheating. After scoring the goal, Royce rushed to the sidelines and made a gesture to shut up. This action was not illegal, but it was provocative. The referee signaled the "Dortmund" players to go back quickly and the game must continue.

The game continued, but Li Qiao, Royce and Schalke fans' "Liangzi" was settled. After that, as soon as these two people got the ball, the whole audience booed loudly.

But in fact, even if "Dortmund" does not "cheat", the current strength of "Dortmund" and "Schalke 04" are not on the same level, and the strength of "Dortmund" can be said to be even better.

*****
There was a huge booing at the scene. You can tell without looking that it was Li Qiao who got the ball again. He played "Uchida Atsuto" on the right side. Uchida was beaten by Li Qiao in the first round of "Ruler Derby" and in the Asian Cup. Now he has no self-confidence when he meets Li Qiao.

But Li Qiao didn't dare to cut inside today, because "Matip" and "Hewedes" were watching closely and were ready to shovel at any time.

But one thing was unexpected, that is, after half a season of running-in, the "Dortmund" players now trust Li Qiao. When he gets the ball, his teammates don't respond, but outflank the penalty area, as if Li Qiao can handle everything, so sometimes gaining excessive trust is also a kind of trouble.

Li Qiao dribbled on the side for more than 20 meters, "Mkhitaryan" just couldn't come over, there was no way, Li Qiao could only take the risk of cutting inside once, when Li Qiao changed the line and passed "Uchida Atsuto", "Matip" really came over with a flying tackle, Li Qiao immediately decided not to play the ball.

Li Qiao jumped up to avoid "Matip"'s tackle, but "Matip" was so bad that he kicked the soles of his feet on Li Qiao's left leg shin guard.

Li Qiao lost his balance and couldn't control his body, so a more terrible scene appeared. When he landed, Li Qiao stepped on "Matip"'s stomach with his right foot, and immediately "Matip" covered his stomach and rolled all over the ground.

This scene was very worrying, the Schalke team doctor immediately entered the field, and the players surrounded the referee to ask for a red card.

The referee was discussing with the assistant referee and the fourth official. If Li Qiao's actions were deliberate, then not only would he be given a red card, but he might also be suspended after the game. The "Dortmund" players also knew the seriousness of the ball, so they surrounded the referee to explain.

The referee did not dare to make a decision lightly. He was in contact with the fourth official through the headset, because only the fourth official had the right to watch the replay.

In the end, the referee ran to Li Qiao and took cards out of his jacket pocket while running. At this time, the whole "Dortmund" team was nervous, red?Or yellow?

The yellow card, after the referee played the card to Li Qiao, explained the reason to Li Qiao. Although Li Qiao didn't do it on purpose, it was a dangerous move. A yellow card is more appropriate.

At the same time, the referee also gave "Matip" who had just returned a yellow card. His tackle was obviously a dangerous move.

The "Dortmund" players applauded the referee's penalty, but the Schalke players quit. Boateng thought he had received a yellow card for contradicting the referee.

Although the matter subsided, the Schalke people felt that they had suffered a disadvantage, and this time, of course, Li Qiao was the target. Reminiscent of the first round of the match, Li Qiao seemed to be the person Schalke fans dislike the most.

What Neuer did in five years, Li Qiao did it in two games. He is already the fastest player to become Schalke's sworn enemy.

"Klopp" was very calm at this time. He kept gesturing, demanding that the ball be given less to Li Qiao, and stop fighting. It was also to protect Li Qiao, so in the next 10 minutes, the boos disappeared.

"Dortmund" held the ball in the midfield, and Schalke also restrained his actions.But the calm before the storm was for a bigger outburst, and suddenly the boos started again, yes, Mkhitaryan gave the ball to Lee Joo.

This time Schalke was in a good mood. Atsuto Uchida, Matip, and Hewedes pressed forward, looking like they were going to eat Li Qiao in one bite.

"Dortmund" left back "Schmelzer" went up to meet him, he couldn't let his opponent bully Li Qiao.

　I wish you all a Happy New Year
