Champion’s Heart

a Milan this team is currently ranked first in the Serie A. Although they did not perform well in the UEFA Champions League group stage, they are still very good in the league. This is why Klopp dare not look down on this team.

Although Kaka was sent away, a Milan loaned Ibrahimovic from Barcelona. The excellent performance of the Swedish God Tower helped a Milan rank first in the league.

This is not a good team to deal with.

Anyway, it's harder to deal with than Inter Milan, which was distracted at that time...

This point, Zhou Yi has fully understood in the simulation battles so many days before the game.

It is difficult to capture a Milan on the road.

When the actual game started, the situation was similar to that Zhou Yi simulated in the virtual space.

a Milan is a very solid defense on the Italian team. On the offensive end they also own the monster Ibrahimovic, so it is still very difficult for Dortmund to fight.

Defensively, they are very difficult to cope with Ibrahimovic, and it is not easy to break through the defense line led by Thiago Silva in the offense.

Throughout the first half, Dortmund could not break the goal of a Milan, but a Milan side frequently threatened the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.

And in terms of opportunities, Dortmund won no more opportunities than a Milan, after all, this is on the road, from the beginning of the game, a Milan has dominated.

But Milan did not make it to Dortmund's goal in the first 45 minutes.

Because Dortmund's defense line is also very good.

The Bundesliga played 21 rounds and Dortmund only lost 17 goals in this line of defense. It is currently the team with the fewest goals in the Bundesliga. It is also the only team that has conceded less than twenty goals.

finally. In the first half, the two sides handed in a white paper.

Marcel Leif's analysis at the halftime break suggested that after Milan didn't score in the first half, the second half will be extremely aggressive, as long as Dortmund has enough patience, that is their chance. If Milan, who plays at home first, cannot win this game, it will become difficult to play in the second round. They must score goals on the road and at least tie the opponent. What is the atmosphere at home in Dortmund? Even Inter Milan lost there with no resistance... How could Allegri put the hope of promotion in the second round away?

So the key is not to worry about Dortmund. Even if the game ends with a 0:0 draw.

Calmness is very important for Dortmund, which is also one of the important experiences of participating in the Champions League.

There are a lot of teams who are born in the group stage and are not afraid of tigers. They are very aggressive and perform very well. As a result, after the knockout, it became a raw melon egg, which was turned around by experienced opponents.

Because the group stage is not a knockout game, there is no one or two games to determine the victory and defeat, a full six games can be played, the fault tolerance rate is higher.

But after entering the knockout, there were only two games in each stage. One game at home and one at home, the fault tolerance rate is greatly reduced, and making a mistake in a game may lead to irreparable consequences. At this time, impetus is no longer important, replaced by stable performance and rich experience.

This is why the group stage and the knockout stage are completely different events.

Dortmund's team lacks the experience of eliminating Sprinkle, if it is too rushing. I'm afraid to take the lead in the knockout. In particular, the opponent is a very sophisticated and experienced Champions League giant like Milan.

Marcel Leif is also worried about Klopp, who is also admonishing his players to be patient during halftime.

"This is the home of a Milan. It is them who want to win the game, not us. Of course I don't mean we don't have to win, but we can have more patience than they, because even if the game is tied , We have 90 minutes to return to the home court. So don’t worry, we must defend first and then look for opportunities in the second half. The opportunities are not good enough. Don’t rush forward, don’t have a few people left in the backcourt...”

The players listened very carefully and nodded one after another.

Unlike Klopp, who only used mouth guns to keep players calm, in the locker room of a Milan, Allegri almost filled the tactical blackboard.

He is arranging each player's task in detail for his players, and has detailed how to position...

This may be the characteristic of the Italian coach, they will talk about the tactics as soon as they talk about it.

But it can also be seen that Allegri was nervous.

In his home court, he took advantage of the right time, and he didn't score for 45 minutes in the first half. What psychological impact and hints will this bring to his players and opponents?

This is what Allegri has to consider.

He hopes to score goals as soon as possible in the second half, otherwise the later the time will be to their disadvantage.

So his batch was very detailed and cumbersome. He would rather instill his brains into his players, and he didn't want to miss anything.

About Zhou Yi, he said the most.

Because he is the core of this team.

All videos of Dortmund and Inter Milan in the group stage have been repeatedly analyzed by Allegri. He believes that if there is no Zhou Yi, Dortmund may be able to get out of the group, but it is absolutely difficult to qualify as the group first.

To defeat Dortmund's play, first of all, Zhou Yi's play must be curbed. As long as Zhou Yi cannot play, Dortmund's offensive effect will be greatly reduced.

In the first half, his players' restrictions on Zhou Yi were still in place, so Dortmund didn't have too much offensive offense.

But it is not without paying the price. The midfielder Flamini received a yellow card for a foul on Zhou Yi, which made a Milan's second half a hidden danger.

Secondly, another midfielder Gattuso is 33 years old. After all, he is old. In the first half, in order to restrict Zhou Yi, he followed Zhou Yi non-stop. Many of them were sprinting up and down, which made his physical fitness. Great loss. During the intermission, Gattuso has been doing muscle relaxation massage.

Can the second half still contain Zhou Yi? Allegri is now afraid to pack his ticket. He thinks that what is more important than containing Zhou Yi is to score as soon as possible in the second half. As long as the goal is scored, a Milan at home will have an unstoppable trend.

In the face of such a trend, neither Zhou Yi nor Dortmund will be able to stop it.

※※※

After the start of the second half, a Milan obviously strengthened the offensive, hoping to score in the shortest time.

And Dortmund is also well prepared, first of all solid defense.

At the same time, in the case of obtaining the right to the ball, even if there is not a very good offensive opportunity, Zhou Yi will send the football forward, and then control the football through the cooperation between two or three people to the foot, to recompress the formation of a Milan Go back and keep them away from Dortmund's penalty area.

Through control and offense to achieve the purpose of defense.

This is actually the decision made by Klopp through half-season repeated analysis and comparison of Zhou Yi's presence and absence.

That is that although Zhou Yi is not good at defending, this does not mean that he has no contribution to defense. On the contrary, his contribution is still great.

Fighting directly with the opposing player, and then stealing the ball, this may not be Zhou Yi's defensive method.

His defensive approach is to control the football under his feet and the team's feet. In control, keep the football away from the danger zone, while consuming time and killing the other party's fighting spirit.

Direct ball interception is the first half of the defense, but what happens after the ball is intercepted?

Many teams choose to go out with a big foot to get the football out of the danger zone. This is a method, but it is not the best, because the ball will soon return to the offensive side, they will continue to attack the defending side, the pressure has not decreased. Klopp believes that this is a passive defense and is a helpless move.

With Zhou Yi, it means Dortmund can choose to defend actively.

After breaking the ball, give the football to Zhou Yi and let Zhou Yi handle the next thing. Just like human beings handing over computing to such things as supercomputers, it is a major advancement in science and technology.

Dortmund is now enjoying this progress.

Zhou Yi's brain is simply a supercomputer on the court.

With the help of this supercomputer, Dortmund withstood a Milan's most rapid offensive.

In the case that Zhou Yi does not need to consider how to send a deadly pass, but just takes the football away from the dangerous area and transports forward, Zhou Yi's super fast thinking ability and passing ability are fully displayed.

Unless you don’t let him catch the ball ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ knock him down before he catches the ball, but that would foul. Otherwise, as long as the football can reach his feet, he will always quickly pass the football to where he should go. In fact, it is only passed to a teammate. There is no delicate running involved at all. The scalpel is like a straight plug. Kind of technology.

So it was very easy, but it also made a Milan defender a headache.

After they rushed to Zhou Yi, the ball was gone. This was really a result of depressing the defensive players and hurting their morale.

They wanted to steal the ball. The ball was gone. What's the point of putting Zhou Yi down on the ground?

In this round of work, the second half of the game also went halfway, and in sixty-five minutes, the score was still 0:0, a Milan did not break Dortmund's goal.

Of course Dortmund will not be dissatisfied with this situation, but a Milan meeting.

Through continuous observation, Zhou Yi noticed the subtle changes in emotions displayed by a Milan player, and they became... more irritable. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
