Farfan made a point, and he personally took the penalty.

A strong shot blasted the ball into the upper left corner of the goal.

With a point shot, Schalke 04 led Dortmund 1:0 in the away game.

The pressure on Dortmund's generals increased sharply, and Klopp was not relaxed. He actively gestured to the players and launched an offensive firmly.

At the same time, he let the team focus on playing on the right.

In the opening 20 minutes, it was clear at a glance that Shen Feng was blocked by key points. Hajnal and Valdés played fiercely in the middle lane, and the effect was two hundred and fifty.

Of course it is best to play Qi Dan on the right.

After celebrating with his teammates, Farfan walked back to halftime in high spirits.

Anyone who can score in the derby is a hero!

When he walked back to the half court, he looked at Shen Feng provocatively.

Last season in the Eredivisie, Shen Feng was promoted to the altar. In fact, he stepped on the stars of Farfan, Suarez, and Huntelaar!

Without them as a foil, how could Shen Feng's excellence be highlighted?

Of course, Farfan held his breath in his heart.

Facing Shen Feng again at this time, there was also a lot of confidence in his arrogance.

I stand right in front of you.

How much do I look like before?

Shen Feng noticed Farfan's gaze, he didn't get angry, nor did he feel aggrieved.

But it naturally inspires a stronger fighting spirit.

The road up the mountain is everywhere.

The cheering momentum of Schalke 04 fans because the team took the lead was even more shocking!

Although it sounds exaggerated to say that the derby involves dignity, the result is closely related to the daily life of the fans, not to mention the depressed emotions. It is inevitable that you will not be able to hold your head up when you encounter hostile fans on weekdays.

Therefore, the importance of this battle is self-evident.

Dortmund launched a fast break.

Shen Feng strengthened his confrontation in the front court, and at the same time he was more cautious when handling the ball.

When attacking in series, he took the initiative to find Hajnal, hoping that the opponent would play more against Qidan.

Now if you want to alleviate your own situation, you must play a threat on the right!

If there is no threat on the right, Schalke 04's defensive focus on his side will not change.

But Hajnal still insisted on getting things done with Valdes!

It looks very confident, but the actual effect is very hip.

You must know that just after the FIFA match day, Valdez went back and forth to South America. It is difficult to guarantee the best state, and it is even more difficult to improve the state when it is caught in a headwind.

Hajnal also participated in international competitions for Hungary. The travel cost was not particularly high, but it was still affected by the FIFA virus after all.

The attack of the two was frustrated, and Qi Dan sighed, but he didn't speak, and he didn't express his emotions to his teammates, as if he was resigned.

Klopp's face gradually became gloomy.

Under heavy pressure, emotional control is naturally also facing a test.

The strife in the locker room is out of control.

On-the-spot command is also regarded as deaf ears!

How can he not be angry?

Shen Feng's offense was suppressed, but his defense did not.

Consciously blocked Asamoah for the first time when defending, and completed two presses to destroy the ball within 10 minutes, so that Asamoah failed to send shells to Farfan.

It can also be considered to relieve the pressure on Dortmund's defense.

At the same time when attacking, he started to bypass Hajnal and go directly to Zidan.

However, the distance is too long, giving the opponent enough time to react. When there is no obvious space to use, Schalke 04's defense can also block Zidan's threat.

After Farfan rushed and hit a fatal blow, the Dortmund defense strengthened his control.

Kyle, Hummels has been wiping Lee Young Pyo's ass.

Lee Young-pyo, who thought he was the most stable in defense, was completely at a loss in front of Farfan.

Dortmund's oppressive tactics will inevitably give the opponent enough space to attack, and this is the environment most needed by speed and technical forwards.

Speaking of which, Lee Young-pyo is Farfan's senior. In PSV Eindhoven's last glorious stage, Lee Young-pyo and Park Ji-sung were the main players of the team at that time.

But Farfan was merciless, making Li Rongpyo dizzy and unable to find his way.

Near the end of halftime, Schalke 04 also made changes according to the situation on the field.

Shen Feng's containment of Asamoah was actually cutting off their line from the right to Farfan.

Both Jermaine Jones and Ernst are defensively focused, so there are no flashes of inspiration in playmaking.

Schalke 04 turned to advance from the left.

Hajnal let Ernst pass the ball to the left during a key defense.

Seeing this, Klopp gritted his teeth on the sidelines, almost furious!

As long as Hajnal can have Shen Feng's defensive enthusiasm and fighting awareness, it is impossible for Schalke 04, a defensive midfielder, to organize and dispatch offensive and defensive transitions so easily and pass the ball accurately!

When Pandel advanced from the left, because Dortmund's defensive center of gravity was on Farfan's side, they, who were originally good at encircling and suppressing, gave Pandel a very wide space for advancement.

Pandel's advance wasn't particularly fast either.

But he keeps moving forward.

As if sieging the city and plundering the ground, Dortmund's formation quickly retreated.

Leading the score, Schalke 04 has no worries, the army sets out and moves forward quickly!

After Pandel entered the dangerous area of ​​the attack, he cut inside. At this time, Klinger, who moved over, and Rukawina in front of him were about to form a flanking attack.

Pandel has already calmly passed the ball obliquely to the center of the penalty area.

Kuranyi backed up and took control of the ball.

Hummels didn't dare to grab because Farfan was on the sidelines!

If he goes up to grab, it is likely to expose the space behind him.

Subotic was also very cautious in the grab.

Kuranyi calmly passes the ball across.

At this time, an unexpected figure came out from the side, sprinting and wading the ball into the penalty area, smashing through Dortmund's defense!

Right back Rafinha!

It was too late for Hummels and Subotic to turn around again.

Rafinha came to the right side of the penalty area and kicked the goal.

The football flew straight above the near corner of the goal, simply and neatly!

Weidenfeller's save was powerless.

The goalkeeper has a lot of responsibility for not sealing the near corner.

But Rafinha's burst shot was indeed infinitely close to perfection, and the most important thing was surprise.

The Schalke 04 fans raised their arms and cheered, their faces were full of excitement, even a little distorted by excitement.

It seems that they have trampled on their sworn enemy Dortmund!

The Westfalenstadion is collapsing in the derby!

The old coach Lu Teng smiled, as if everything was under control.

Klopp's expression became unnatural.

In the derby, the significance of winning or losing is not as simple as 3 points.

If the home court falls.

Lost face, lost face.

Lost popular support and lost prestige.

For Klopp, who has just entered Dortmund, this ball is infinitely close to life and death.

After suppressing his irritability, Klopp calmly analyzed the situation of his team.

The halftime game will soon come to an end, Schalke 04 leads by two goals, and they must strengthen their defense.

Dortmund's desire to play a threat is tantamount to a dream.

Today's attack from the left was frozen and Shen Feng was suppressed. It can't be blamed for him not being able to break out of the encirclement of three people. In fact, Asamoah and Jermaine Jones alone were enough to make Shen Feng lose his edge.

This is why Rafinha has nothing to do and sprints through Dortmund's defense at full speed during the attack to bring a fatal blow.

If Klopp simply expects Shen Feng to play a solo savior with one against two, he may have forgotten that Xia Tian's signings only cost him 5 million euros.

If you want the kind of superstar who can play two or three games steadily, Dortmund must at least add 0 to the transfer fee, and it may not be able to have such an effect every game.

The head coach cannot interpret the situation in this way.

The key is that Shen Feng has not changed in terms of team cooperation, and there is no team chemistry.

Valdez used half time to prove that he was not good, not only that he could not shoot, but that he did not perform his duties as a center forward and regarded himself as a pure shooter.

Klopp does not need a pure shooter, which is not in line with his team building philosophy, unless it is a high efficiency of averaging one goal per game, but unfortunately Valdes is not, he does not have that ability.

Hajnal's performance in the midfielder position today also disappointed Klopp.

Organizational creativity was not seen at all, and even the caddies on the sidelines could see that Hajnal was determined to pass the ball to Valdes, and the opponent had already figured it out.

And the performance in defense is completely substandard.

It seems that the thinking is still stuck in playing Cottbus.

Shen Feng was suppressed, at least the defense went all out to hold the lower limit.

Qi Dan did not show, he was alone and helpless.

Then look at the line of defense.

Klopp is well aware that the defense is doing its best to make up for Lee Young-pyo's loopholes.

It is also unfair to say that Lee Young-pyo's defensive ability is not good.

With Farfan's ability, if he is given enough space and a pair of full-backs, the Bundesliga can defend him with no more than five full-backs.

Klopp also has no reason to ask Lee Young-pyo to completely freeze Farfan one-on-one in an environment where the team is under pressure and the backcourt has a lot of space.

But players have to serve the technical and tactical system.

Li Rongpyo's point should have been to cooperate with the frontcourt to play a strong pressure effect, using offense instead of defense!

So far this season, no effect has been seen.

As for the conflict caused by him not passing the ball to Shen Feng, Klopp must stand by Shen Feng on this point.

You are a full-back who has not reached world class, you are a tool man!

Tool people don't have their own ideas!

At the end of the first half, the cheers of Schalke 04 fans hurt the nerves of every Dortmund fan.

Dortmund fans suffocated and had nowhere to vent their anger.

The team is not up to the mark on the pitch, they just can't hold their heads up.

Klopp turned expressionlessly and walked quickly towards the player tunnel.

When the players returned to the locker room, Klopp angrily slapped the tactical board with his hands!

boom!

A loud noise was enough to silence everyone. Everyone consciously did not make any noise and sat down to listen to Klopp's midfield lecture.

Klopp is not long-winded at this time, there is no need to criticize anyone at this time.

The hand rises and the knife falls.

Substitution!

Replace three people at once.

Valdes, Hajnal, and Lee Young-pyo are all gone!

The Brazilian midfielder Tinga, who has just returned from injury and whose status is unknown, was ordered in the face of danger. Wearing the No. 7 jersey, he naturally has a certain strength as a base. He will take over Hajnal's position.

Young Schmelzer succeeds Lee Young-pyo.

Kuba replaced Valdes to play right winger.

Qi Dan moved from the wing to the center.

After completing the substitutions, Klopp made intensive tactical deployments.

The requirement for Schmelzer is to attack the left side infinitely and activate Shen Feng!

Tinga brings the hardness of the midfield and the organization and scheduling of offensive and defensive transitions. The three midfielders are actually biased towards defense, but technically Tinga has a talent bonus of Brazilian players that is even more outstanding. The three midfielders take turns to attack!

After Kuba's debut, he must activate the right offensive!

Bumblebee, full reboot!

I have to say that Klopp's adjustment still made everyone's emotional frustration and negative factors disappear in an instant.

Even Shen Feng, who was locked down in the first half, was instantly revived with full blood, gearing up to change his appearance and live in the second half!

In the end, Klopp simply said: "I don't know if I can turn the tide and turn defeat into victory, because it depends on whether you strictly implement my tactics. The key to victory or defeat is on you. As long as you play our characteristics and advantages, Schalke 04 will be vulnerable to us!"

Everyone raised their heads instantly with determination on their faces.

Everyone got up and prepared to start the second half of the game.

Valdés, Hajnal, and Li Rongpyo looked at each other with disappointment and mixed emotions.
