During the time when Situ Yunbing coached Monaco, the most classic battle in the team in Ligue 1 was not a contest with Ligue 1 bully Lyon. The most exciting classic battle came from Monaco and Bordeaux!
There are similar situations in Germany. Bayern Munich and Hamburg are more important than the essence of the game, and the match between Hamburg and Dortmund is the most passionate one!
These two teams meet, and I can’t guarantee anything else, passion will never be late!
When the German Cup final began, the almost devastating game was presented to all the audience, which made people hold their breath and even their breathing became depressed. They didn't dare to blink for a moment, for fear of missing a wonderful scene.
Klopp completed the transformation of Dortmund in the first half of this year. Perhaps this transformation was a bit late. After they achieved excellent results last season, they chose to develop step by step after the last championship, which seemed to lack a sense of crisis. The result is that reality tells them the cruelty of the situation.
Situ Yunbing has always had this sense of crisis. Because of this, Hamburg is always striving for excellence, and Monaco is no exception.
Although Dortmund's transformation was a bit late, it was not considered falling behind.
After breaking through the previous bottleneck, the Hornets now definitely have the ability to make trouble in European football. If Dortmund was at best showing off his power within the Bundesliga, then they have begun to change in 2012 and their strength has rapidly improved to give fans new expectations and see what kind of movement they can make in the European arena next season!
Both team players are playing fast, but the focus is different. Hamburg focuses on the creation and impact of offensive organization. The team passes and cuts and mercury is used to drain the ground. Giroud, as the center fulcrum, actually forms an iron triangle with De Bruyne and Rakitic, and then continuously delivers shells to Reus and Griezmann. Azpilicueta and Matuidi support the sidelines and are not aggressive!
The formation set up by Dortmund was to defend and counterattack. After putting pressure on Hamburg in a crazy local siege, they did better in offense and defense conversion than before. With a few simple and clear passes, the offense hit the frontcourt!
Shinji Kagawa performed more maturely, and Lewandowski did not disappoint Klopp's trust. After serving as the main player for more than a season, Lewandowski already had the shadow of the top European striker.
In the 15 minutes before the game, Reus and Griezmann failed to break through Weidenfell's ten fingers in 15 minutes. Both of them looked in an absolutely excellent state, especially the performance of the last shot was a bit disappointing.
It’s not that the opponent’s goalkeepers are too outstanding, but that their shooting quality is not high.
After the opening, Dortmund first made a good defense. The counterattack was not many times successful, but just a few long shots seemed to be unthreatening!
However, in the 17th minute of the game, Hamburg's frontcourt offense was frantically surrounded by the opponent. Matuidi was directly blocked by Pisczek when she received a cross from the frontcourt.
After Kuba took the ball from the back of the center line, he quickly cooperated with Gundoanto to hit the wall and then quickly stepped forward on the right side of the front court, catching Matuidi assisted and failed to quickly return to defense.
After cooperating with Kyle's short pass, Gundogan opened the free-range response and sent out a precise long pass.
Dortmund, who almost spares no effort, maintains a fast-paced operation. You should know that Hamburg has the advantage of actively oppressing and attacking. At the same rhythm, the consumption of Hamburg is less than that of Dortmund because Dortmund is passive.
But Dortmund was able to keep up with the pace, which means they had been enlightened since the game! Beauty plan: There is no concubine in the harem.
Dortmund fans in the stands cheered wildly and cheered for the players!
When Kuba dribbled into the offensive dangerous area on the wing, the Hamburg back line had become a three-guard system. When Boateng rushed to press, Kuba did not control the ball and chose to directly knock the ball across the middle.
Kanter immediately rushed to the press to catch up with Shinji Kagawa, but unexpectedly, the latter also made an accurate pass with one shot!
Lewandowski originally stepped forward along the middle to the penalty area, but before Shinji Kagawa touched the ball, he turned to the right side of the penalty area!
As a forward, his agility in running changes has been reflected!
This Polish striker has also made a big splash!
It's time to shine.
Van Dijk immediately turned around and returned to chase and assist in defense, but Dortmund's pursuit of counterattack today was obviously beyond Hamburg's imagination!
Lewandowski hit the ball in the right rib of the penalty area and instantly hit the goal!
The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball, and even Navas was caught off guard!
Sharp, decisive, ruthless, and a fatal blow!
Lewandowski's goal made all Dortmund fans shout!
Klopp nodded slightly from the sidelines, applauded and reminded the players to work hard to perform better!
"Lewandowski scored! Hamburg was hit by a fast counterattack from Dortmund. In the German Cup final, Dortmund took the lead!
This peak competition in German football is dazzling. Hamburg seems to be difficult to adapt to Dortmund's crazy encirclement. If Hamburg cannot create panic pressure for Dortmund during the attack, then their defense line will be under increasing pressure, because Dortmund's counterattack will try different ways of playing!
Dortmund is now leading Hamburg at the Berlin Olympic Stadium 1:0!”
Situ Yunbing made gestures to the defense line and asked them to adjust their defensive strategies!
Hamburg’s mistake just now was that Boateng went to assist in defense and enlarged the space in the penalty area. Even though Van Dijk was already very strong on one-on-one, it was absolutely unrealistic to cover the entire penalty area.
It should be Kante's defense against the sidelines, and Van Dijk and Boateng adapted to the situation in front of the goal!
The situation of this game is actually what Situ Yunbing likes. Even though the battle is very risky, just imagine the Champions League final facing Chelsea, wouldn’t it be a similar scenario?
Mourinho has been away from Chelsea for 5 years, but Chelsea is lost in the reform. Beautiful football is like a dream bubble. In the end, he barely relies on the foundation laid before to barely prolong his life. The magical firefighting coach Di Matteo cannot have any new tricks to deal with Hamburg. The Chelsea that Hamburg wants to play is still the world-shaking iron-blooded Blues!
The Hamburgers' players were calm about conceding the ball because they were still in good time.
After re-teletting, Hamburg's offense was more active, and Situ Yunbing also issued orders to the front line to simplify the offense as much as possible without any delay!
Even though Dortmund led the score, the game situation was exactly the same as before the goal. Hamburg was still the main attack, and Dortmund looked for opportunities to counterattack in defense.
Hamburg's offensive threat has increased. In the 22nd minute of the game, Reus responded to Rakitic's straight pass from the left rib in the penalty area. He counterattacked Subotic and rubbed the ball into the far corner with a kick, which made Weidenfeller's whip, but the football hit the outside of the far post and bounced out of the baseline! The rich family's favor: the chief husband is too domineering.
Two minutes later, Groschloitz quickly counterattacked from the left and cooperated with Shinji Kagawa to break through Azpilicueta's defense. Van Dijk decisively defended and put pressure on Groschloitz, causing the quality of the opponent's cross to be bad. Even though Lewandowski reached the front area, the football flew past overhead!
In the 27th minute of the game, Griezmann chose to head the ball and relay the goal in the penalty area, which was definitely a godsend opportunity, but unfortunately he was skewed!
Situ Yunbing, who had been calm, could not resist the disappointment this time.
Although Hamburg failed to break through Dortmund's goal, the threat was clear at a glance.
This has made Dortmund focus more on Reus and Griezmann in defense.
In the 31st minute of the game, Dortmund once again made a whirlwind counterattack. Kyle destroyed Giroud's ball under his feet in the front of the penalty area. Then Gundogan made a straight pass in the backcourt. Shinji Kagawa made a quick pass with Kuba in the middle circle and then passed the ball directly.
Lewandowski used his physical advantage to withstand Kanter's defensive harassment, and then gave Groschloitz a wonderful pass.
Unfortunately, Groschloitz's shot in the left rib of the penalty area was too straightforward and was blocked by Navas!
Hamburg escaped!
Klopp's eyes were calm and thoughtful. In fact, the reason why he did not play in Gotze today is very simple. Gotze has good skills and a great offensive threat, but his defensive contribution is not great. In this level of competition, players are required to be comprehensive in almost every position, offense is effective, and defense must also contribute!
The problem that can be derived is that Dortmund’s personnel allocation cannot guarantee comprehensive balance. In other words, there is no big problem in playing style, but personnel ability restricts Dortmund’s upper limit!
Even if the substitution is replaced, it is just a fine adjustment of the ability of both offense and defense, and there is no improvement in overall strength.
Hamburg continued to attack with strong force. De Bruyne and Rakitic were still able to protect Hamburg's offensive through their personal abilities, which was already very good, but it would be difficult for them to go further.
In that case, the burger may fall into a state of imbalance.
If you want to break through Dortmund's goal, you still need the front line to improve your ability to seize opportunities.
In his normal state, Situ Yunbing constantly reminded players to change their mindsets and not be always stubborn!
In the 35th minute of the game, Hamburg's forward-line cooperation did change. When Giroud knocked the ball back to De Bruyne who was in front, the latter sent a diagonal pass to send the ball into the right rib of the penalty area.
Griezmann led Hummels to retreat and follow up with defense while forwarding, and Schmelzer also returned to the penalty area to attack him.
Griezmann decisively passed the ball to the side outside the penalty area.
Azpilicueta assisted and made a pass directly without stopping.
The football fell to the front point of the goal.
Giroud used his physical advantage to block Subotic's tight line and then rushed to the football landing point and headed to the goal!
The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal. Although Weidenfell touched the football with his hand, the distance was too close. The football was slightly refracted and flew into the goal!
Hamburg equalized the score!
Chapter completed!
