Chapter 48 Red Card Plus Penalty

After Coach Schaff explained the tactics, he looked at his players seriously.

"I know it's very difficult. You have to withstand the opponent's crazy attack, and you have to save your stamina until the final stage of the counterattack, especially the offensive players who play the whole field!"

While talking, Shafu looked at Lin Quan and asked:
"Lin, do you still have the strength to run?"

Lin Quan nodded. Although his physical energy was consumed a lot, he still had the systematic stamina potion as a last resort.

If it doesn't work, you can spend a little points to buy a stamina potion, which can be used for 10 minutes!
"Okay, then I won't replace you. The team needs your breakthrough ability to rewrite the score. In the second half of the game, you should pay attention to the distribution of physical energy to ensure that you have the strength to launch a sprint in the final stage, understand?"

Lin Quan nodded heavily, he clearly felt the expectations in the head coach's tone!
After 15 minutes, the game restarted.

The crazy goal in the final stage of the first half made Dortmund's players completely recover from the state of confusion at the beginning.

They firmly believe that they are invincible at home, and the enemy cannot stop their offensive!

Therefore, as soon as the second half started, Dortmund's players continued to firmly implement their frontcourt pressing tactics.

This kind of running without hesitation is probably only a team like Dortmund who has been playing blood all the year round, and it can be carried out!
The players of Werder Bremen are obviously not good enough, and they can't run away from them at all.

Of course, this style of play is also very limited.

When the players get older and have more injuries, the execution of this tactic will seriously decline.

And after other opponents in the league gradually adapted to this style of play, they quickly developed targeted tactics.

Therefore, after a few seasons at the peak, if the team's tactics cannot be further improved and changed, the team's performance may plummet.

Historically, Dortmund's record began to decline gradually after the 12-13 season, and even became a relegation team in the 14-15 season.

If it weren't for the team's recovery in the final stage, scoring 13 points in six games and breaking out of the relegation zone, they might really have been relegated.

Squeezing one's own physical fitness and potential in this way is easy to cause injuries to players. Take Dortmund's new summer aid Royce as an example. After he joined Dortmund, he began to suffer frequent injuries. The reason for the absence of the national team's game!
A large part of this is caused by Klopp's tactical play.

Just like this season, Liverpool is full of wounded soldiers.

Klopp is a good coach, but not for all players.

Like Lin Quan, he thinks he is not suitable for Klopp's tactical play, and Simeone of Atletico Madrid is the same.

On the playing field, Dortmund's players were pressing and running very hard.

But the opponents no longer cooperated with them. Werder Bremen didn't speed up with them like they did at the beginning of the first half, nor did they play against them.

Instead, they set up a set of iron barrel formations, hoarded a large number of troops in their own half, and used intensive defense to limit the opponent's attack.

Dortmund's offensive firepower is indeed very fierce, but when the opponents set up an iron barrel formation, they have no good way.

There are too many people in the penalty area, and Werder Bremen have replaced a few players with plenty of energy.

The active fighting of these players caused their offense to fail many times, so they began to try to shoot long shots from the outside of the penalty area.

Long shots, set balls, these are the conventional means to deal with dense defenses.

Since Werder Bremen dared to put up an iron bucket formation, they would not be unprepared for this.

They use zone defense to limit the passing of the opponent and ensure that there are always defenders around the most threatening central and frontcourt players of the opponent to interfere with their shots at any time.

When the goal was disturbed, Dortmund's players fired several anti-aircraft shots in a row, failing to pose a threat to Werder Bremen's goal.

Klopp couldn't sit still on the sidelines, the opponent's tactics were simply disgusting.

He really wanted to ask Schaff: You are behind in the score, what's the use of defense?
According to this score, it will be our Dortmund who will win in the end!

Are you so willing to accept a failure?

If the leading team at this time is Barcelona, ​​then if the opponent dares to put up an iron barrel, it will give Barcelona a victory.

They can use the pass to delay time and kill each other!

But pass control tactics are not Dortmund's style, and they have no such tactical options.

So Klopp can only ask the players to play more patiently. Now they are leading the score, and the opponent should be anxious.

If it weren't for his home court, he would have wanted the players to withdraw to their own half to play defensive counterattacks.

However, judging by the way the opponent looks like, if they really retreat, the opponent may not necessarily attack.

If the opponent doesn't attack, the two teams will set up buses in their own half, then this game will be ugly, and the fans at the scene will not be able to boo the sky!
Klopp is ashamed. Anyway, the score is leading, so there is no need to go too far.

If the team can score another goal, the outcome of this game will lose suspense, and then there will be nothing to worry about!

Klopp expected the team to score another goal, but his expectations fell through.

Under the united defense of Werder Bremen players, Dortmund attacked for more than 20 minutes, but failed to break through the opponent's goal again.

In these more than 20 minutes, their ball possession rate exceeded 70%, and they shot 17 shots, including 12 long-range shots, almost besieging the opponent's goal.

It's a pity that there are many shots, but less than half of them are on target, and there are not even one shots that score a goal.

After not scoring for a long time, coupled with the fading effect of the previous bloodbath, Dortmund's players began to enter a bottleneck period of physical fitness, and their running speed and enthusiasm on the field began to decline significantly.

In the 55th minute of the game, seeing the opponent's physical fitness decline, the frontcourt pressing force decreased.

The players of Werder Bremen finally started to launch a counterattack!

They raised the rhythm of the game in an instant, and changed their defensive posture before, and began to attack Dortmund.

The Dortmund players were obviously taken aback. The opponent was rubbed against the ground by them for more than 20 minutes. They almost habitually believed that the opponent would not fight back.

As a result, as soon as they slacked off a little bit, the opponent launched a crazy counterattack.

This makes Dortmund's players feel a little bad!
"Could it be that this is your tactic, dare not fight the whole game, only fight 5 minutes after the opening and 5 minutes before the end?"

Dortmund's coach Klopp took the lead in reacting and guessed the opponent's intentions.

Thinking of the opponent's sharp counterattack at the beginning of the game and the two conceded goals, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized the danger!

"Quick, retreat, don't let the opponent's counterattack come out!"

If Werder Bremen can still play the terrible counterattack in the first half, then Dortmund's goal will be in danger!

They only lead by one goal. If they are scored by the opponent, the two sides will return to the same starting line!

And now there is not much time left in the game. Once the tie is tied, they may not have time to score another goal to reverse the score.

If so, they will be dragged into a penalty shootout by the other side!

So, is this your real purpose?
Klopp turned his head to look at the opponent's coaching bench. Over there, the coach of Werder Bremen was already standing on the sidelines, looking at the field with piercing eyes, watching the team's counterattack.

Klopp's guess was very accurate, Werder Bremen really wanted to drag the game into a penalty shootout.

After a whole game, their stamina is running out, and they can only support them to complete a high-quality counterattack.

If the goal is successful, then encouraged by this, they may still be able to muster more courage, defend desperately, and persist for the last few minutes of regular time.

If this counterattack fails, they will be unable to rewrite the score and can only accept the result of losing.

And this time the opportunity to counterattack was obtained because the team tried their best to defend in the first half and then the second half, and did not let the opponent's efforts to expand the score.

Otherwise, once the score difference exceeds one goal, even if they fight back, it will be useless.

So, definitely don't miss this opportunity!

The football quickly passed from Werder Bremen's backcourt to the frontcourt and passed to De Bruyne's feet.

Under the pull of Dortmund's No. 5 player, he tried his best to pass the ball before falling to the ground.

The moment he fell to the ground, he saw the No. 10 player in the frontcourt wearing a green jersey sprinting at full speed.

Lin, it's up to you, you must score a goal!
Lin Quan didn't want to disappoint De Bruyne's assists. In the second half of the game, he walked for more than ten minutes to preserve his energy for this fatal blow.

And now, it's time to use them!

After receiving the ball, he lay down, dodged Dortmund's No. 7 Leitner's attack, and rushed into the penalty area with a stride, passing Gunter who was defending.

There are no defensive players in front of him, only the goalkeeper!
Therefore, Lin Quan raised his foot decisively, aimed at the goal and prepared to shoot.

But at this moment, a figure rushed out from the side and rear, and rushed to tackle the ball before Lin Quan hit the goal.

The ball was kicked away, and Lin Quan also fell in the penalty area.

The audience couldn't help but stood up and looked at the referee, not knowing how he would judge.

The referee rushed into the penalty area immediately and pointed to the penalty spot.

penalty!
