The Green Superstar

When the whole world is praising Spain's TIKI-TAKA for playing a wonderful note on the green field, and when the tactics of transmission and control are popular all over the world, there are positives and opposites. How to restrain restrictions and restrain Barcelona and Spain is also a hot topic, similar to Chelsea and Royal. Madrid's extreme defense seems to have given the answer, making more people think that they can only find a way to fight Barcelona.

But this season, whether it is the ongoing Champions League semi-final encounter between Barcelona and Bayern Munich, or the sudden emergence of Dortmund led by Klopp, it is giving the world a new answer.

Different from pass control, the high position press is the hidden danger of the defense caused by its offense, and it is necessary to avoid being counterattacked by the opponent.

Dortmund made a high front counter at Old Trafford against Manchester United in order to completely disrupt the opponent's offensive organization and get a quick break on the spot.

Defensively focuses on the shrinking of the formation, while the offensive focuses on the spread of the formation. When Manchester United organizes the offensive formation from the backcourt to spread the players' moves, Dortmund started from the striker in an organized defense and anti-grab, forcing Manchester United to make a mess of the backcourt.

The players in a team perform their duties, play their own roles, and assume their due responsibilities. For example, the dealer in the middle of Manchester United's backcourt is Carrick. If you count on Phil Jones, then this game is not necessary. After hitting, it can basically be cold.

When Dortmund's Lewandowski and Goetze made a fierce press against Carrick, and Carrick could only play the ball to the wing for safety, Dortmund's frontcourt players pressed on the wing as a whole.

This makes a very strange scene appear on the court. The stadium is so big, but most of the players are crowded in a local area, especially the encirclement and suppression formed by the players of Dortmund has more visual impact!

Players in the Manchester United backcourt hardly have more than 1 second to adjust the ball, and sometimes even stop the ball with a little difficulty, for fear of the error being intercepted, they can only blindly clear the ball out.

Dortmund is too fierce!

It is indeed like a group of Hornets sweeping Manchester United's halftime!

Whether it is Tang Hong, Rooney, or Van Persie, it is difficult to get effective support from the midfield and backcourt. Either a kick makes them unable to catch up with the ball forward, or they give a knife hill in haste, even if they take the initiative to touch the ball. But there is no room to deal with the ball, falling into a fight with the opponent's defender.

Manchester United can't play an offensive at home? !

The Red Devils fans at the scene felt incredible, and the audience all over the world had a sense that Manchester United could not keep up with the rhythm of Dortmund.

Obviously, the impact brought by Dortmund's fierce zone defense has caused Manchester United's backcourt players to panic!

After all, they have been unstable since the beginning of the season!

In the 24th minute of the game, when Evra received the pass from Carrick on the wing and did not make another move, Kuba had already cut the ball in front of him, and then sent a cross pass. .

The football rolled into the penalty area, Lewandowski took the initiative to stop the ball in front of Vidic and buckled to the center, followed by a volley with his left foot!

The football goes straight to the far corner of the goal!

De Gea was helpless, unable to return to the sky.

When the football flew into the Manchester United goal, Old Trafford was silent for an instant, and the Red Devils fans only felt their heads humming!

"Lewandowski! Dortmund striker killer volleyed through De Gea's fingers!

Manchester United's backcourt was intercepted by Dortmund's fast break and the ball was lost. Evra has an inescapable responsibility for this loss!

But we must admit that Dortmund's active counter-robbing has brought unprecedented pressure to Manchester United!

If you only look at Dortmund's thrilling reversal of Málaga in the last round, you still don't think this team is so powerful, but today Dortmund has shown the strength of the Bundesliga champions in the past two years!

Manchester United's loss of goals at home is not news, but the trend of the game makes people have to worry about them!

Have not threatened the opponent's goal for a long time, this situation means that the situation is very unfavorable for Manchester United.

Manchester United 0:1 Dortmund! "

Klopp celebrated with passionate fists on the sidelines!

Ferguson has a solemn expression. He always thinks that Manchester United can slow down and will definitely perform better than the opponent after keeping up with Dortmund's rhythm!

But what he was expecting did not happen. Instead, Dortmund became more and more fierce, more and more brave as he fought!

On the contrary, Manchester United started in the backcourt like a bird of fright. Afra's stealing is more like an inevitable situation, and it is not accidental.

For the first time of the season, the Manchester United striker Trident couldn't help frowning before reopening the ball.

Losing the ball is very common, and losing the ball will not affect their mentality, they have long been used to it.

But today is different!

The first half of the game was half finished, but they did not organize a decent offensive in nearly 15 minutes!

This is the source of their worries.

Without an offensive, there is naturally no threat.

No threat, why score?

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Manchester United was the first to lose the ball at home, which made Manchester United want to quickly tie the score after the kick-off. Dortmund's defense is equally tight and active in counter-grabbing.

Even players like Gotze and Royce, who seem to be absolutely technical players from the outside world, are not slack in doing the dirty work of blue-collar fighters.

In the 29th minute of the game, after Tang Hong received Rooney's pass from the front left, because Rooney retreated to support the midfielder, Tang Hong was also helpless when holding the ball forward dribbling.

In the face of Pišček, Tang Hong speeded up the ball and went outside to make a breakthrough, but when the opponent turned around, CHOP suddenly shifted behind him, knocked the ball and turned inward.

After passing Pishcek, Tang Hong dribbled to the front of the penalty area, Sven Bender moved to block his inner cutting line, and Gundogan returned to the front middle of the penalty area.

Seeing that the opponent's line of defense is tight, Tang Hong stepped on a bicycle fake in front of Sven Bender and then dialed the ball to complete the adjustment and tried a long shot!

The football went straight to the far corner of the goal, and a parabolic drop made the ball look very threatening.

However, due to the long distance from the goal, the old goalkeeper Weidenfeller was given enough time to move, and in the end his extreme save prevented the ball from the baseline.

Klopp yelled at the defensive players from the sidelines, and then he quickly calmed down.

He just asked the players to stick to Tang Hong!

This is required for targeted defensive arrangements before the game.

Klopp is very clear about Tang Hong's personal threat.

Dortmund's enthusiasm for chasing Tang Hong was not low last summer. If Tang Hong landed on the West** Stadium, then Dortmund may not be suppressed by Bayern Munich in the league this season.

Now he has to rack his brains in the arena to limit his performance, do you have good luck?

No, the elite circle of European football is actually only slapped. Either Real Madrid will play Manchester United today or Barcelona will play Bayern tomorrow. Real stars always appear in these similar strong-strong conversations.

Moreover, for a strong team, even if it does not have a headache to restrict Tang Hong today, it will be hurt by meeting Messi or Ronaldo tomorrow.

Manchester United is actively planning the offensive, but when Dortmund got the ball and started attacking, they had to retreat, and then the rhythm of the game entered Dortmund's oppressive counter-grab from the midfield, which completely disrupted Manchester United's backcourt attack. organization.

It makes no sense for Manchester United to frequently pass the ball to the frontcourt with a big foot from the backcourt.

Tang Hong, Van Persie and Rooney all withdrew to their own half.

In the 38th minute of the game, Goetze turned the ball back when facing Carrick in the front court and knocked the ball back diagonally. Gundogan followed up with an oblique pass and sent the ball to the left.

Royce cut in and stopped and seemed to be going directly into the penalty area, but when Valencia returned to the penalty area, he suddenly stopped and changed from the outside line and knocked the ball back diagonally.

Goetze's fast running position makes Phil Jones always follow the defensively.

After Gotze took a step forward, he dialed the ball and turned to take a shot. Ferdinand immediately blocked the opponent's shooting angle, but Gotze smashed the ball from his side to complete the breakthrough!

Gotze, who came to the left rib of the penalty area, shot out, and De Gea reacted quickly to block the ball!

Seeing that Manchester United had a chance to counterattack fast break, Tang Hong, Rooney and Van Persie were all ready to twist and move forward.

However, Shinji Kagawa was counter-robbed by Kuba as soon as he had the ball in the front area of ​​the penalty area, and he quickly passed the ball to Carrick.

As a result, the ball was cut off by Gundogan halfway!

Dortmund's counter-grabs are like waves, one after another, not only continues the continuity, but also the timing is very accurate!

All three Manchester United strikers stopped and looked back, only to see Gundogan steal the ball and hop into the penalty area. Evra and Vidic hurriedly stepped forward to force him, but Gundogan kicked him. A diagonal pass sent the ball to the center of the penalty area.

Lewandowski took the initiative to respond to a step and did not adjust his right foot to volley!

Heavy bombardment!

De Gea can't stop Lewandowski's burst shot near the penalty spot even if the **** descends to the world!

Football is dead end!

The Red Devils fans in the stands are about to collapse!

Lost two goals in a row!

Lewandowski opened his arms and ran to celebrate the goal. Dortmund fans were ecstatic in the stands of the away team!

"OMG! OMG! Lewandowski scored twice!

Assist from Gundogan!

This is incredible. Many people may feel that Manchester United and Dortmund have worn their jerseys upside down!

But Dortmund did lead the Red Devils Manchester United with two goals at Old Trafford!

The overall performance of Dortmund in the first half of the game left a deep impression. Although they were fierce, they did not lose their minds. Instead, they showed strong tactical skills in fast-paced offensive and defensive. It is hard to see anyone stopping, defending in defense, and actively responding in offense. It is only natural for Dortmund to be the dominant player in the Dream Theater!

Manchester United fell completely in midfield today. The consequence is that the defense is full of loopholes and the striker is not supported!

Although the two teams are fighting fiercely more often, the seriousness of the problem can be imagined when the war has been burning in Manchester United's half.

Manchester United has no retreat!

They once pushed Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain to a dead end, now it is their turn to be forced to the edge of the cliff by their opponents!

Manchester United 0:2 Dortmund! "
