Chapter 392 The Devil After Injury

Many people who have never played football will not understand the difficulty and long recovery of professional players. In fact, with the current medical technology, physical recovery is not difficult, but psychological recovery is difficult. It is as if someone punches you in front of you, and you will naturally close your eyes.

This is not a question of bravery or not, it is a natural stress reaction, and the same is true for injured players. The stress reaction caused by the fear of injury will make the players timid when playing on the court. Simply put, they avoid kicking.

Facing the menacing "Verratti", Shaheen was very nervous at this time, and the captain "Hummels" saw that the situation was not good, so he ran forward quickly to meet Shaheen, and the tension in the latter's heart eased a lot after seeing Hummels. A person on the football field is a point of entry. With a point of exit, everything will be easy.

At the moment Verratti stepped out to steal the ball, Shaheen passed the ball back to Hummels, resolving a crisis!
But this time, Paris Saint-Germain has completely seen that Shaheen is a "soft persimmon", so it is very clear what to do next, and if you encounter a soft persimmon, squeeze it hard!
No need for Blanco to say anything, the players on the field began to scramble for Shaheen, and Dortmund reluctantly began to adjust their strategies. On the football field, the movement characteristics of the ball are the same as the electric current, and they will find a route of least resistance.

Shaheen couldn’t get through here, so Dortmund gave more balls to Gundogan, but in this way, Dortmund’s dual-core became single-core, and the originally smooth midfield suddenly became very stuck. This can be seen from the ball possession rate. Within 5 minutes, Dortmund’s ball possession rate dropped by 5 percentage points.

The consequence of losing midfield control is not only the loss of ball possession, but also the fact that Paris Saint-Germain went straight forward with the ball. Ibrahimovic and Cavani greatly threatened Dortmund's goal.

Seeing that the advantage just obtained was fleeting, Klopp could only be anxious. He looked at Shaheen eagerly. Klopp knew that Shaheen's body had fully recovered, otherwise Marcus would not let him return to the team.

Klopp doesn't know how to adjust, and there is nothing to adjust. He knows that the key now lies in whether Shaheen can overcome his inner demons.

Many players retire after a serious injury because they dare not face it anymore. After all, as a professional player, being kicked and confrontation is a part of football. If you are completely afraid of confrontation, then say goodbye to professional football.

"Don't be afraid, if he kicks you, don't hide," Klopp thought.

Even though he thinks this way, Klopp knows that it is not easy to face these when he is really in it.

While Klopp was staring blankly at the field, Shaheen turned his head inadvertently, and his eyes met. Shaheen and Klopp saw each other.

Without any words, Shaheen read from Klopp's eyes the helplessness in his heart at this moment, even longing. Since he knew Klopp, Shaheen has never seen Klopp with such helpless eyes.

"Without Klopp there would be no me",
At this time, Shaheen's first start in Dortmund, the first time he won the championship, and the first time he raised the "salad plate" with both hands appeared in Shaheen's mind. In the memory, there is always a person who smiles so happily. He stands behind everyone, and that is Klopp.

At that time, the team was like Robin Hood, a green forest hero who challenged authority. There was no pressure. Everyone was happy when they won, but they were just scolded by Klopp when they lost.

When he came back this time, Shaheen felt that Klopp was much older. Now the team is in a challenged position. Every game is under great pressure. In the league, in the Champions League, if you win, you will get money. If you have money, you can retain talent, and if you retain talent, you will have a future.

Thinking of this, Shaheen suddenly summoned up courage. He hadn't been kicked after returning to the court, and at this time Shaheen was ready to face his first time.

He raised his hands to apologize to Gundogan and his defense, and then gestured for the ball, but his teammates didn't give him the ball, because everyone thought Shaheen was just guilty, and he probably wasn't ready yet.

But Klopp on the sidelines understood Shaheen's eyes, and he waved and shouted: "Give him, give him the ball."

Papa passed the ball to Shaheen according to the coach's request. As soon as the ball reached Shaheen's feet, the Paris Saint-Germain players acted like a pack of wolves smelling prey.

Looking around at this point, all of Shaheen's passing lanes are blocked, and he has only two options - either turn around and face Verratti, or kick the ball out of the touchline.

It would be easier to choose the latter, but it also means that Shaheen failed. He lost to injuries. The former Turkish golden boy is a legend.

Shaheen turned around, looked at the menacing Verratti, and was ready to pass the ball under his feet, but "soft persimmon" chose to break through?Verratti was startled, and in desperation, he kicked Shaheen in the leg.

yellow card!

The referee decisively gave Verratti a yellow card.

Shaheen, who fell on the ground, did not get up immediately. He was arranging his socks and gently patting away the dirt and grass residue. When he was about to get up, a big hand appeared in front of him. Looking up, Hummels was looking at him with a smile.

"team leader",
Hummels pulled hard, and after Shaheen stood up, Hummels patted him on the shoulder, "Good job, you're back."

Shaheen understood the meaningful sentence, he smiled slightly, and ran back to his seat.

*****
Dortmund regained control of the midfield, Paris Saint-Germain was passive again, and the situation reversed. Blanco was very anxious. The big boss "Alsani" watched from the stands. If the cooked duck flew away, his handsome position would probably fly away.

Blanco used to be a very good player and had a brilliant career. As a coach, Blanco's on-the-spot command ability is relatively poor because he has not studied systematic coaching courses. When encountering passive situations, Blanco is often simple and rude, just like the last game.

This trick works very well in Ligue [-], because Paris Saint-Germain's strength is absolutely superior, but at the level of the Champions League, doing so is a double-edged sword.

But Blanco didn't think so much, and without any other good solution, Blanco started waving his hands and asking the full backs to assist frequently.

At the order of the head coach, the two full-backs rushed up desperately, but after several times of rushing, they found that the situation was different.

In this game, Dortmund put two central defenders on both sides-Papa and Bender. They don't assist, they specialize in defense, so Paris Saint-Germain's full-back assists and encounters these two.

Blanco was obviously desperate, and he didn't think about whether the situation was the same.

After the two full-backs of Paris went up, not only did they not create any threat, but the huge space left behind them became a hidden danger. Blanco did not notice this, but the three midfielders of Paris Saint-Germain discovered it.

Verratti, Matuidi, and Pastore turned around and looked. The wide space behind them was as wide as the Mediterranean Sea, and the backs of the three felt chills. If they were hit back, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After exchanging glances, the three of them leaned against each other, compressing the space in the midfield. Although it is useless for the three of them to stand side by side if the opponent's pass is accurate, this is the only way now.

The right back "Van de Wiel" broke through several times, but was blocked by Papa. The Dutchman turned his head and looked at Blanco, as if he was asking: "Are you going to attack again?"
In fact, at this time, the players in Paris no longer trusted the coach's tactics, but the football field pays attention to "orders and prohibitions". As long as Blanco does not gesture to change tactics, then he must follow the tactics just now.

Because everyone understands that the scariest thing on the court is not that the tactics are wrong, but that everyone does not follow the tactics. Klopp has a famous saying-"I would rather have 11 people do one wrong thing wholeheartedly, and I don't want everyone to fight on their own."

Paris Saint-Germain's full-backs are also very smart. Although they cannot modify the coach's tactics, they pay attention to every breakthrough. The opponent can destroy the ball, but they will never let the opponent get the ball.That is, never give the opponent a chance to fight back.

However, when Van der Veer plugged in again, the ball accidentally went too far and left his control area. This time Papa stopped the ball. In desperation, Van der Veer was about to tackle the ball, but Papa had already passed the ball, and the target of the pass was Gundogan.

The moment Jing Duoan took the ball, Shaheen immediately ran forward. At the same time, he had already designed five or six attacking routes in his mind. He waited for Jing Duoan to pass the ball to himself, and the latter also sent the ball to the direction of 10 o'clock just in time.

Dortmund's counterattack advanced very quickly, and the ball quickly passed halftime. Paris Saint-Germain now has only five people in the backcourt, divided into two rows, with three midfielders in front and two central defenders in the back. That is to say, the first barrier is very important.

Shaheen glanced at Verratti and Matuidi, and there was a small space between them. He estimated that the ball could pass, but it required very precise passing skills.

Opportunities are fleeting, and Shaheen did not hesitate. He pushed the ball between the two. In his heyday, Shaheen was able to pass a through ball with the precision of a scalpel.

Matuidi stretched out his long legs to intercept, but finally touched the ball with his toes, and the ball changed direction. Looking along the direction of the ball, Matuidi complained in his heart. It turned out that his destruction turned into an assist by accident.

Facing "Tisi", Piszczek did not choose to break through. He looked at it, and Aubameyang in the middle raised his right hand and asked him for the ball.
