My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 41 You are a good coach, and so am I ([-])

In order to get rid of Verratti's entanglement, Gotze had to significantly increase his running intensity.

Gotze was annoyed when he was forced to expend energy on getting rid of the ball at the beginning of the game.

And Verratti is not tall, and his moving speed is not slow, and he is staring at Getze firmly... He is admitting death, and he will make Getze feel uneasy.

It is certainly impossible for Arsenal to use man-marking tactics in all ten positions, but they have narrowed the distance between the three lines and kept the positions between players close and orderly.

This makes Arsenal's defensive formation similar to 4-4-2. Ramsey, who plays the role of midfielder, kicks forward to the position of second center forward, followed by double midfielders and wingers on both sides to form a midfield defense line, and finally four defenders .

Klopp frowned, feeling the dull frustration of his team like a kitchen knife hitting a concrete wall, and he muttered in his heart.

Why the hell does this feel so familiar.

Three-line compression, double-chain defense... Sacchi's philosophy.

It compresses the space that both sides compete for on the field to the greatest extent, which is very unfriendly to a team like Dortmund that needs space to accelerate.

As for why Klopp feels awkward, because he himself is also a believer in Sacchi's defensive philosophy.

He knew very well what methods were needed to hold down the aggressive enemy.

But the corner of Klopp's mouth curled up again.He turned and looked at Arsenal's coaching bench, where the young coach was standing calmly on the sidelines.

Very proud?Think your tactics have worked?You guys are just getting started.

Gotze was quite annoyed.In Dortmund's offensive system, Lewandowski is the end point, and the source of creativity in the arc top area is himself.

Being targeted certainly created opportunities for players in other positions to cut in, but...but he was still very angry.

Gotze is not a very impulsive player, but he knows that Klopp's arrangement before the game is intended to make a quick decision at the Emirates Stadium, retain his energy to return to the Bundesliga, and continue to fight with Bayern Munich.

But in the current situation, it is not very realistic to want to quickly take down Arsenal.

Gotze finally turned around and received a ball, and Verratti stuck up like nougat and entangled again.

Gotze was going to speed up and get rid of it, but his heart moved, and he looked up to observe the distribution of his teammates around him.

It seems unnecessary.

Verratti noticed that Gotze didn't get rid of it immediately and grabbed it without hesitation.The German's physical strength was weaker than he thought, and Verratti grabbed the ball as soon as he stretched his legs.

After gaining possession of the ball, Verratti was about to turn around and attack with the ball, but was bumped and staggered, and quickly took the ball back a few steps.

what is this?

Verratti was a little flustered, knowing that a player had launched an on-the-spot counter-grab against him just now.

He didn't dare to turn around blindly, and hurriedly returned the ball to the central defender to handle.

After a few passes, the ball came to Carvajal on the wing.

Falk...

Carvajal pushed the ball a few times and cursed helplessly.

Klopp laughed.

If you look back at the past minute from the broadcast perspective, what happened on the court is as follows:
After Verratti stole the ball, Gotze immediately stepped forward and counterattacked on the spot, forcing Verratti to dribble the ball toward the goal.

That's the big no-no - he left the ball in the danger zone.

Lewandowski, as the first sharp knife in Dortmund's pressing line, immediately ran towards the central defender in an arc to interfere.

After the center back split the ball, left midfielder Shinji Kagawa, center Lewandowski, and midfielder Gotze all surrounded the full back, forming a local three-on-one high-intensity press, strangling him to any direction. Possibility of shooting the ball in one direction.

Therefore, Carvajal now finds that all Dortmund players are in sight.

Moreover, their on-the-spot counterattacks, cutting off lines, oppression, and encirclement, were well-trained and fast, like a giant net that tightened suddenly.

The coach is right, we will encounter such a scene...

Carvajal took a determined kick and drove the ball out of the sideline.

This is also taught by the coach, as long as you feel that the ball cannot be handled, drive as far as possible, even if you hand it over to the opponent.

"Great job Daniel!"

Chen Yao also clapped his hands and gave him a thumbs up.

Carvajal remembered Chen Yao's instructions when he called him to the special training two weeks ago.

"Marco can't break through their entanglement with the ball alone. Even if he has the talent to protect and control the ball, he still needs space and appropriate intensity. At this time, Daniel, you need to do a protective response."

"I don't ask you to solve the problem of dropping the ball, but you can at least help Marco kick the ball away... Don't think that losing the ball is a bad thing, it is a bad thing to lose the ball closer to your own goal."

This brief battle for the ball came to an end, and it seemed that Dortmund had won a complete victory.

But Klopp sighed, this scene is not worth satisfying for him, because the team did not get the opportunity to counterattack directly in the high position.

It can only be said that it is barely a tie...

For Dortmund, this could be a warm-up.From then on, they officially entered the game state.

Quick fix, this is Klopp's strategy.

It's good to be able to get rid of Arsenal, but at least you can't spend a lot of energy in the Champions League group stage.

Giving two slaps to the arrogant Munich black is what Klopp wants to do most.

Dortmund's 4-2-3-1 formation, the pressing of the front four is particularly important.

Klopp's tactical purpose at this time is to use Lewandowski as a sharp knife to form an oppression on the defender, and the midfielder Gotze as the second pressing point. Up, while the winger serves as the third support point.

This time, goalkeeper Szczesny gave the ball to central defender Koscielny. Koscielny paused for a second and made a fake pass. underfoot.

Dortmund's siege network shrank rapidly, just like Arsenal's shrinkage.

If the ball is not grabbed in the first line of defense, Klopp's team will quickly recover it, compress the space, and beware of the opponent's counterattack.

For Jorginho in between the two lines, it is a bit more difficult because he will be pressed by two lines of defense.

So, after Jorginho took a few steps to the middle, without observing, he knocked the ball horizontally at will, and then started to advance at a high speed.

It was Gibbs who received the ball, the left back and the midfielder at this time, Kieran Gibbs.

Gibbs is sometimes in a trance, has he traveled back to the youth training camp?
Why does it always appear in the position of the lower back?

However, Gibbs smiled, I was a low back when I debuted.

Could it be that if I play left back for a few years, I can no longer have the heart of a defensive midfielder?

After all, you told me that I can play as a defensive midfielder, that I am suitable for playing as a defensive midfielder, and that I will be better than the original me.

right coach?
