There is a belief called football

Chapter 557 National Derby ([-])

After the exchange of venues in the second half, Neuer stood in front of the South Stand, and as in the past 10 years, whether representing Schalke 04 or transferring to Bayern, Neuer will receive gifts from fans on time when he is in this goal-bananas.

This is because Neuer was trained by Schalke 04, Dortmund's mortal enemy. The enemy's youth training product is the person they hate the most. This is the consensus of Dortmund fans.

Neuer, who is used to all this, just kicked the banana in front of the goal and then ignored it. This is already a routine job for Neuer at the Signal Iduna Park Stadium.

After dealing with the bananas, the second half began. The referee blew his whistle, and the Dortmund fans began booing vigorously again.

*****
At the beginning of the second half, Dortmund launched a crazy press in the frontcourt, and even center Gomez came back to play in midfield.

The key to modern football lies in high-position pressing, and the criterion for a strong team also lies in whether it can put strong pressing pressure on the opponent.

Look at the Barcelona, ​​Atlético Madrid game and you will understand that the pressing of these teams in the frontcourt makes it impossible for the opponent to even pass the ball.

Looking at the appearance of Dortmund players, it is estimated that they were criticized in the locker room during the halftime break, and they looked like wolfs and tigers in the second half.

Sammer on the sidelines was stirring his hands, which meant "speed up the ball."

Summer has been keenly aware that whoever sticks the ball in the midfield will not only get kicked himself, but may also dig holes for his teammates in the defense.

In the German team, the execution ability of the players is very strong. Seeing the gesture of the head coach, Alaba, Boateng, Benatia, Lahm, and Martinez all speeded up the ball, except for one person-that is Vidal.

The Chilean "Vidal" became famous in Leverkusen. At that time, it was the later famous "Heynckes" who coached Leverkusen. Grandpa Hai once commented on Vidal, that is, Vidal's skills are like playing street football.

I still remember a Bundesliga game in 2012, when Leverkusen played Bayern Munich, Vidal kicked the ball with his heel in the backcourt to clear the siege. The action was very beautiful, but it was a pity that the ball was passed directly to the Bayern players. After the game, Vidal was also criticized by Heynckes.

The reason why I say this is to tell you that South American players are very spiritual and beautiful, but sometimes they are not so appropriate.

This is how it is now. Under the pressure of the Dortmund players, Vidal is still showing his footwork. When he got the ball in the midfield, Vidal tried to pass "Bender". The ball passed, but he was stopped by Bender without fouling.

Sammer was startled when he lost the ball at the midfielder position. He didn't know how many times he cursed the German version of "grass mud horse". Vidal asked the referee to protest, "Bender blocked the foul", but no one paid attention to him.

The ball was passed to Gotze, Royce came around from the wing, Gomez and Royce, Gotze formed a triangle running position, Dortmund is already in a killer position! !

Dortmund's offense is characterized by two words - simple.

Gotze has a deep understanding of this. He went straight to Royce, and the latter pushed in the middle. Gomez shot in the middle and the goal was scored! ! !

If you replay it after the game, this is a textbook-like triangle match, so simple, but so classic, it is like the Sichuan hot pot, not complicated, but always classic.

*****
This ball made Sammer jump his feet angrily, and Klopp hit a set of combined punches excitedly. The whole stadium was ignited by this ball. Originally, Dortmund fans were stupefied.

But this ball rekindled the confidence of Dortmund fans. They believed that Dortmund could still defend the home honor, and this is still my territory.

The crazy background of Dortmund fans is the somewhat lonely Bayern players, especially Vidal. 99% of the responsibility for this ball lies with him.

Vidal apologized to his teammates. The teammates did not blame him, but ran to comfort him. As the coach, "Sammer" was not in the mood to comfort anyone. He called Martinez over and asked him to pay attention to protecting Vidal, because it is impossible to recover immediately after a mistake. Sammer must plan ahead.

Sure enough, after Bayern re-kicked off, the Dortmund players fought for the ball even more fiercely. After the game, Li Qiao said a sentence in an interview-"A few minutes after losing the ball, we felt the pressure of suffocation."

Seeing the hope of an equalizer, the players' eyes were all angry, and Dortmund still regarded Vidal as a "soft persimmon" this time.

As soon as Vidal took the ball, Dortmund immediately fired four arrows-Wang Kong, Bender, Gomez, and Gotze all came towards him.

Vidal, who has always been calm, was a little panicked at this time. He wanted to pass the ball to Li Qiao. This is the safest card, but now the safest card is the easiest to be guessed by the opponent.

Wang Kong had been staring at the route of Vidal's pass for a long time. There was no suspense.

Wang Kong passed the ball to Royce after taking a few steps, but Royce still went to the bottom, which is his characteristic.

Gomez in the middle is also in place, everything is almost exactly the same as the first ball, Royce made a cross, Gomez grabbed the point in the middle, the saddest thing is, even the final result is exactly the same, Neuer did not pounce on Gomez's short shot.

Within 5 minutes, Dortmund equalized the score.

"If you want to capture Dortmund's home court, you are dreaming", someone in the stands couldn't restrain their excitement and yelled loudly.

"This is still the hardest place in Germany to take," someone else yelled.

At this time, the situation left to Bayern is a bit difficult, 2-0 to 2-2, everything happened too fast, and it was too late to react.

But Sammer didn't want to make a substitution, because the substitution now seems to be looking for a scapegoat, and this is not what a good coach should do.

Assuming that Sammer replaced Vidal now, it seems to say, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault".

But Sammer knows that this is not Vidal's personal relationship. The real reason is that the Bayern team underestimated the enemy. So what should Sammer do, or what can he do?
The answer is - do nothing.

Summer believes in his team, and he believes that his players have enough self-adjustment ability, so Summer not only does nothing, but returns to the bench and sits down.

*****
The head coach sat down, and as the captain of the team, Lahm stepped forward. He was shouting, "just stick to the usual tactics, don't be afraid of passing the ball, and don't be afraid of the opponent stealing the ball."

Then Ram deliberately found Vidal; "When it's time to pass, you still pass the ball. When it's time to pass, you pass the ball, you know?"
Vidal smiled, "Don't worry, captain, I'm not that fragile, I know how to play football."

"That's good".

After the re-kick-off, Dortmund robbed even more fiercely, as if a motor was installed on the leg, but strangely, Bayern did not panic. The midfielder accelerated the pass, and all the balls were shot. Everyone had at least two exit points around them, and they never stuck to the ball.

High-intensity pressing is very exhausting. After 10 minutes, Dortmund's midfielder's pressing began to fail, and the Bayern players were keenly aware of the opportunity.

In Summer's mind, how important is it to capture this stadium?Maybe it's points, it's not important, it's just three points, and Bayern is already ahead of No.2 by a lot, but psychologically, Sammer cares a lot, maybe people like to try things they haven't done before.

The same goes for the players, who have failed at this stadium in the past few seasons, and this time it seems that history is repeating itself.

Repeat?

Vidal didn't think so, he took the ball forward, which made it difficult for Wang Kong, who was still defending Li Qiao just now.

It stands to reason that he was going to intercept Vidal, but reason told him that Li Qiao behind him was the real threat.

In this way, Wang Kong didn't attack, and Vidal quickly passed the midfield. In this way, Dortmund's midfield form seemed to be wide open. At this time, Wang Kong and Bender realized that something was wrong-Vidal's offensive ability is also very strong.

When they chased back, Vidal kicked the ball, this time it was given to the right, yes, to Rafinha, Rafinha is the right back and the right avant-garde away, so no one took him seriously before.

Maybe it was because he hadn’t got the ball for too long. Rafinha was obviously out of shape after he got the ball. He just ran blindly without even raising his head. It wasn’t until he was knocked down by Schmelzer that Rafinha let out a long sigh of relief, “Good job, won a free kick and completed the task.”

As an away winger, Rafinha's idea is very simple-do not seek merit but seek no fault.

Schmelzer looked at the place where he made the foul, regretted it to death, this distance is enough for Li Qiao to shoot directly, and everyone in Dortmund knows how powerful Li Qiao's free kick is.

Li Qiao did his part to take the free kick. He took the ball in front of him early, but Dortmund was nervous, and Klopp's heart hung up.

For the first time, Dortmund called everyone back to their own half to defend the corner kick. The referee drew a line, and 8 Dortmund people stood on the line, and the others were reserved for maneuvering.

Li Qiao looked at the goal. In front of the goal was Burki, who was Li Qiao's partner for free kicks.
