170. Fighting on the field

Erikson whistled and the game began.

Wensheng and Klopp both stood on the sidelines.

Manchester City just kicked off, and Dortmund's players actively began to press the formation, and the high-level press began.

Milner passed the ball back to Van Dijk, and Lewandowski and others immediately posted it on. The purpose is very simple. Manchester City cannot make the pass and control comfortable in the backcourt. Klopp obviously also knows that the core of Manchester City's defense pass and control configuration is Toure and Van Dijk, so he made his players unique and unique use the man-to-man tactics to focus on Toure and Van Dijk when Manchester City controls the ball.

Is this trick useful?! It's useful!

Dortmund's boldness was something Wen Sheng never thought of, and Van Dijk and Toure were always followed, which made many players in the backcourt dare to give them the ball. Losing these two points, Manchester City's backcourt control was not very good.

In the second minute, Milner took a risky prequel, but Borussia Dortmund hit a counterattack on the spot. Gotze made a cross after breaking through the wing, Van Dijk was slowed down half a beat, and Lewandowski shot this excellent pass directly out of the goal.

The opportunity came too simple, and Lewandowski couldn't believe it himself, and his shooting was out of standard!

"Milner needs to reduce such goals!" Zhang Wei commented that Milner did not have a goal point in the backcourt, so it is okay to make a goal in the frontcourt, but you should not choose to pass too risky at this moment. If you don't form a tacit understanding, don't use it like this. It's better to just find Dzeko's point.

"Bortmond is good at using offense and defense conversion. What Manchester City needs to do is to reduce the rhythm of offense and defense conversion. The number of ball rights exchanges should be reduced. Be careful when forward and backward transmission! If Dortmund seizes such an opportunity, it will be a big trouble!" Zhang Wei analyzed.

He Wei nodded repeatedly, and he admired his professionalism and joked: "Fortunately, Lewandowski did not bring shooting boots!"

Zhang Wei nodded and smiled, "It's indeed out of standard!"

Klopp was also happy on the court and was extremely disappointed. It would be great if Lewandowski could seize such a good opportunity to score an away goal.

"Recycle, David! David!" Wensheng made a gesture and called his players to retract. In this situation, Dortmund forced him too hard and ran very actively. Wensheng felt that the team should avoid Dortmund's edge and let the players adapt. If you don't let me control it, I insist on controlling it and slowly make the state come out.

At this time, the team closed the formation, consolidated the defense first, controlled the ball, and allowed the players to warm up and adapt to the intensity of the game.

In the sixth minute, Manchester City completed its first shot, but this time it was the same as Dortmund's second minute shot, and it was very threatening.

In the sixth minute, Manchester City controlled the backcourt, and Dortmund's robbery was very fierce, but Manchester City made an article on the sidelines. De Bruyne, Silva, Milner, and Sabaleta's small-scale passes and cuts gathered personal control. The team with a small-scale pass and timing control, actually tore open Dortmund's defensive system. Finally, Nasri shook Subotic on the left and shot. Weidenfell took a lot of effort to block the ball from the bottom line!

Then Manchester City headed the ball again in a corner kick, and Kompany finished his second shot, but this time the quality was a little worse than that of Nasri, and it was much higher than the crossbar.

"Daniel pays great attention to short passes in coaching. Klopp should not underestimate this. He should know that Manchester City has many methods in offense, with strong three-dimensionality, and often has some exquisite cooperation in the league!" Zhang Wei knew Wensheng very well. In the past, Wensheng paid great attention to this part in Crystal Palace, but at that time, Crystal Palace was a team that emphasized offensive speed very much. It pulled a lot in Manchester City's speed, and the exquisite cooperation seemed to be much more.

When Nasri shot, Klopp's heart also rose to his throat, and Weidenfeller's god-level save made him breathe a sigh of relief.

He was not surprised or surprised at all when Manchester City had such ability, but he understood a truth that benefits and risks were proportional. Dortmund really needed to guard against Manchester City's inadvertent small range, but Klopp firmly believed that his team could also cause trouble for Manchester City.

If he was a head coach who paid more attention to defense at heart, he might not make a choice like Klopp, but Klopp happened to be a head coach with a strong forward consciousness, so he was not moved by threats like Manchester City at all.

As he expected, it is really impossible for Manchester City to play like this every time, and Dortmund's players are not vegetarians.

With the recovery of the formation and the retreat of De Bruyne, Silva and others, Manchester City's control level in the backcourt improved. Regardless of whether Klopp was willing or not, Wen Sheng's tactical intention was achieved, and he relieved the crisis of his opponent's high-level pressing.

Because of concern that Manchester City has taken advantage of the gap in its defensive system, Dortmund has to use fouls to stop Manchester City's advancement, but this is not a long-term solution after all. Eriksen has warned Dortmund's players two or three times.

In football, the discipline of defense is based on people. Simply put, defense requires enough manpower. The defense line is stationed with a world-class goalkeeper and a world-class central defender, which is likely to not solve the problem.

Dortmund's formation is pressing forward and takes measures to press high positions. The back guard is far away from Weidenfeller. If there is insufficient defense in front of the high position defense, Manchester City will switch from backfield control to offense. Whether in terms of technology or speed, Dortmund's defense will be at the bottom. The gap between the defender and Weidenfeller is very likely to be used and cannot be compensated.

So Dortmund had to use fouls. If there were too many fouls, what should I do?! Retreat, consciously retreat and fill the gaps, which in turn reduces Manchester City's advancement speed and puts Manchester City in a positional battle. Dortmund puts the center of defense in his own half, which will help them concentrate their defenses on tight stand-up joint defense rather than single-player defense against Manchester City's offense.

"Oh!" Klopp sighed in his heart and said helplessly. Manchester City's form began to recover, but the offense was still slow and quick. The assists of the full-back on the attack were really limited, and only Milner kept inserting the back midfielder. This English national football team is physical and physically abundant, like a mad dog. A large circle in the midfield is his footprint. His defensive skills are not good, but his body and speed are his reliance.

Klopp's team will use tactical fouls to prevent Manchester City from advancing. Isn't this the same thing on Wensheng's side? Manchester City will also use this method to deal with their opponents. Milner's main goal is Gotze. Wensheng's task is not to focus on Gotze, but to say that Gotze will be on guard when he is in the middle lane.

When Gotze went to the side, Milner's mission became assisted defense, and the first priority was to defend the middle.
Chapter completed!
