Chapter 319: Strengths and weaknesses

In the sixteenth round of the league, Wolfsburg ushered in another most important match in the league. In this game, their opponent is Dortmund, their most feared opponent in the entire league, and they have made Wolfsburg pay the most attention three weeks ago.

In order to defeat the opponent, Wolf Castle can be said to be the best in this game. Except for Ruth, who was still unhealed, they basically used all of their main force. Just like the game against the miners, for the sake of safety, Wolfsburg still chose to use the combination of Makoto Hasebe and Matic to avoid targeted attacks by opponents. They prepared very carefully for this game. .

Similarly, Dortmund is also going all out.

Unlike Wolfsburg's 442, their formation is a 4231 formation. Lewandowski was in front of him, and Royce, Gotze, and Kuba lined up behind him. This season Dortmund used more of Gundogan and Bender with double midfielders, and this game was no exception. On the back line, Schmelzer, Hummels, Subotic, Pishcek is a very good back line in the Bundesliga and the world, and their goalkeeper Weidenfeller The season's defensive efficiency is also fourth in the Bundesliga.

"In the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg ranks second in the league and Dortmund is fifth in the league, but from the perspective of the team's lineup, Dortmund's lineup is definitely not like the fifth in the league. In fact, it just ended recently. In the Champions League, Dortmund also defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the final round. They won a victory and sat firmly at the top of the group stage. Their strength is very worthy of attention."

Dortmund's recent league results are not good, but in the Bundesliga, no one dares to underestimate them. Although Dortmund did play a mess in the league this season, their performance against Chelsea and Paris in the Champions League has proven their strength. Compared to last season, their overall strength may have declined slightly, and they are no longer so persevering in long-distance running. However, the team's own combat effectiveness against strong teams has gone even further.

What do the names Chelsea and Paris mean? Everyone knows. Just look at the lineup, Dortmund should definitely not be fifth in the Bundesliga this season-and, when the game started, they immediately proved this with their strength.

The style of playing is different from Wolfsburg. Dortmund chose to attack even when facing a strong enemy. After the start of the game, they quickly launched their offense: as they got the football, Dortmund's two full-backs immediately rushed forward, their impact widened the attacking formation, and Pišček. The foot sent the ball to Kuba's feet, which also allowed Dortmund's attack to unfold quickly.

Among Dortmund's frontcourt players, Kuba is probably the fastest. After getting the ball, he opened the gap against Pishcekla, and he immediately rushed forward with the ball. His sides. On one side is Piszczek, and on the other side is Bender's support. Dortmund's intensive offensive tactics with multiple points also made Rodriguez's interception a little daunting. Yes, Kuba immediately broke through his defense.

His impact speed is Dortmund's first sharp knife.

After entering the backcourt, Kuba passed the ball to Goetze in the center. Gotze received the ball in the middle, and immediately turned around to avoid Makoto Hasebe's defense, facing Matic, he turned the ball again and turned away. Although the front of the penalty area is very small, he controls the football shuttle between the two defensive midfielders in the dense defense of the front court. But it seems easy to do.

"Goetze is in possession of the ball... His technique is indeed very good. In the face of dense defense, his ball control technique is Dortmund's biggest reliance..."

The voice of the narrator carries some pride. Gotze’s technology has always been regarded as the hope for the future of Germany. Seeing him take the ball, the narrator is naturally very proud. Unlike Kuba's long-distance attack after getting the ball, Gotze is more skilled in the frontcourt after getting the ball. This kind of ball requires higher skills and better talent.

Germany has always paid attention to tactics, discipline and strength, but it lacks skilled players. Goeze is indeed proud of having such skills. It is precisely because of his presence that Dortmund played very well in the frontcourt.

Dortmund's frontcourt players can be said to have their own characteristics. Each of the four players has their own playing habits. Kuba's speed is the fastest, Gotze's technique is the most delicate, and their collaboration has diversified the offense. They can attack fast, or they can control the ball to penetrate slowly. The different abilities of several people make Dortmund's offense unstoppable.

In the frontcourt, he moved the ball twice, but Gotze was never intercepted by Matic. But Matic’s defense also made Gotze unable to break forward. After being forced to turn around, Gotze stopped trying to break through. He found the opportunity to slash the ball forward, using the Wolfsburg defender's lack of coordination, and sent the ball to Lewandorf in front. At the feet of Ski.

In the penalty area, after getting the ball, Lewandowski withstood Naldo behind his feet and pulled the ball easily. While controlling the ball, he also got rid of Naldo's entanglement. He is not the same as those two midfielders. His body is not bad, he has the ability to fight against and has the skills at his feet. Although his impact is not very good, and there is no advantage to headers, when it comes to technology, he is very proud of the capital.

This kick pulled the ball away from Nardo, and he did a very beautiful job. After pulling the ball, he turned around halfway and also found a shot. Lewand kicked the ball towards the bottom left corner of the goal, trying to catch Wolfsburg by surprise.

At the very moment, Benalio fell to the ground in time. Although Lewand’s shot was quick, Wolfsburg had already known his abilities, and Benalio’s seriousness played a very good defensive role. The football was blocked by him and the ball was not scored.

But at this time, Royce on the left also came in in time, he made a supplementary shot and kicked out the football that no one had grabbed in the penalty area!

The timing of his plugging was very good, and the speed was very fast. As one of Dortmund's front fours, his abilities are quite comprehensive. As the best player in the Bundesliga last season, he can be said to be able to do something. Gotze style technique, Lewandowski style shooting, coupled with Kuba style speed, maybe in Dortmund's frontcourt, he is the strongest one.

It's a pity that this shot was not good. Because Royce was a supplementary shot, he raised his foot suddenly and didn't choose a good path. This shot did not score the goal. The football hit the edge of the net and it was a missed shot. Although he caught up with the opportunity, he failed to grasp the opportunity.

This shot made Royce sigh, but he could only lament his bad luck.

"This ball... If Royce shoots a little more securely, then this ball will definitely go in."

The football didn't score, and even the commentary was a little regretful. This time, Dortmund's offensive frontcourt players cooperated extremely smoothly. The four of them showed their abilities. They played the offense very well and did not score a goal, which naturally caused regret.

In fact, it was not just them. Seeing that their attack stopped like this, even the Dortmund fans also received applause from the audience. They showed such strength in front of their own fans, enough to get enough applause.

Their offense is indeed beautiful enough, and they are indeed rich in threats. Seeing that their attack did not enter the door, Wolfsburg also felt a little bit of escape.

There is no doubt that Dortmund is still very strong. Seeing them play like this, Gao Shunyao even had some doubts in his heart: Could it be that their luck this season has been so bad that they know that they are still fifth in the league, right?

Of course, this thought only flashed through Gao Shunyao's mind. Because he knows very well that luck is a very unreliable thing, and a truly capable team will not use luck as an excuse. Dortmund's current results are not good enough, of course not because of their luck, but because of their tactical problems.

Although their offense is gorgeous enough to shock the audience, but seeing that Dortmund's two midfielders have stood in front of the center circle, Gao Shunyao immediately understood why they couldn't win.

Every tactic has weaknesses, and Dortmund is no exception. Their oppressive tactical system is based on the quick conversion of offense and defense in the frontcourt, and the extraordinary on-the-spot counter-grab. Such a style of play certainly has the advantage of offensive power, but the Dortmund players are not all defensive players after all. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Therefore, when counter-robbing the frontcourt, they also need to use more intensive robbing to target their opponents, and this will also cause problems.

The frontcourt players press too far forward and the defenders dare not press too much. This makes Dortmund's front and back courts inevitably have great open loopholes, and once such loopholes exist, Dortmund will naturally be targeted and abused. Cool.

In fact, last season, Dortmund also had this problem. It’s just that Dortmund’s players are very fast and their running is active. Sometimes even if a loophole appears, it will disappear in a flash, making it difficult for people to use it. But this season, as they become more prominent in the league, they are facing more and more targeted layouts.

Last season, they could double-kill Bayern. This season, they have lost to Bayern twice. Although their attack is strong, they have big problems in defense. The gap between the guard and the midfielder is their big loophole. Because of this problem, they have lost at least 6 points this season-you know, they and A total of only 8 points difference between Wolfsburg, this 6 points can be said to be a huge gap.

Before the game, Magath repeatedly emphasized this issue in front of Wolfsburg players: this is also a loophole that Wolfsburg wants to exploit very much. They really want to address this issue in Dortmund and expand the distance between them again. (To be continued)
