If it were not for Wu Lei's goal, Dortmund would still be ahead on the field, then Klopp could have wiped his face and asked his disciples to retract the line a little and block the space for Hamburg's forwards to sprint.
The problem is that the score on the court is now 1:1, which is a tie.
Taking only 1 point at the People's Park Stadium is not what Klopp wants.
Now that the new season has only started three rounds, Dortmund is already 2 points behind Bayern. If this game is a draw, it will be 4 points behind. In another Bundesliga game at the same time, Bayern is already leading the Bundesliga by two goals away from home.
Erke 04.
Falling four points behind its main rivals in four games is unacceptable to Klopp.
Everyone knows how terrifying Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga is. Once they are too far ahead, the feeling of powerlessness in catching up is almost despairing.
So Klopp must continue to attack.
They want to score, they want to win, they need these 3 points!
However, now Klopp doesn't know how to adjust.
Adjust your play style?
But they are mainly attacking, can they still adjust to defensive counterattack?
That doesn't play into Hamburger's hands.
Pan Yi is definitely willing to score one point each against a strong team like Dortmund!
But the problem is that Dortmund's offensive efficiency is too low now.
After entering the 60th minute, the physical fitness of Dortmund players was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye, which has affected their technical and tactical performance.
After Wu Lei's goal, Dortmund's performance seemed to have been compromised due to the ebb and flow of morale, while the Hamburg players became more courageous and played more and more energetically.
These young people in Hamburg seem to have inexhaustible physical energy.
So, how to ensure sufficient physical fitness by substitution?
But Klopp's men don't have any good cards to play.
Although Dortmund's current attacking group on the field can be called luxurious, there are not many stars on the bench who can compare with it.
Take a look at the names of the seven players on the bench:
Langerak, Chris Love, Bender, Santana, Blaszczykowsky, Grosskreutz, Schieber.
If you are not a senior Bundesliga fan, how many of them can you recognize?
In other words, if you replace Royce, Lewandowski and others in the starting lineup, the effect may not be as good as keeping them on the court...
"This guy is really cunning and calm."
Klopp glanced at Pan Yi next door and couldn't help but admire the young head coach.
They fell behind at the start, but they were not impatient and waited until 60 minutes with Dortmund before they started to change their tactics.
If you don't look at the scoreboard, it looks like Hamburg is in the lead!
Ask yourself, if Dortmund fell behind, Klopp felt that he would not be able to calm down and pretend that nothing happened.
As soon as Pan Yi started to change his moves, he used a fatal move that hit the nail on the head and killed him with one blow!
This really makes Klopp feel uncomfortable.
Now Uncle Zha seems to understand why world-famous coaches like Guardiola and Mourinho admire Pan Yi.
And how did Pan Yi, a young man, become a core member of a Triple Crown team at the age of 26, become the coach of a Bundesliga team, and lead such a team in the eyes of everyone?
The relegation team achieved two consecutive victories in the opening game.
"Their pressing seems to be getting more and more fierce." Klopp frowned.
In the few minutes he had been thinking, the situation on the court had undergone some minor changes.
Hamburg clearly saw Dortmund's physical decline, so they accelerated the pace of the game and increased the pressure in the frontcourt.
After stealing the ball, he resolutely hit Vardy and Wu Lei to counterattack.
Especially the right forward Wu Lei, who just came on the field, was very active.
In a one-on-one situation, Schmelzer really seemed to be struggling against him.
Klopp knew he had to make changes.
He stood up and called left back Chris Love over.
"You will come on and replace Schmelzer later. You have to keep an eye on their No. 7 Wu Lei and don't give him a chance to move forward. Stick to him tightly and force him away from our goal!"
Chris Love is not tall or strong, but he runs very fast and is a typical speedy full-back.
Although he is definitely not as good as Schmelzer in terms of overall ability, it seems to be a better choice now to switch to guard Wu Lei who is in good condition.
After all, the opponent is now suppressing Schmelzer's physical strength and speed. At this time, Chris Loew, who also has physical strength and speed, should be able to achieve his tactical purpose.
Here Klopp is still preparing for substitutions, and Hamburg on the court has once again created a danger.
Carvajal moved forward from the right, received Rudiger's pass, took two steps forward, and passed straight to the center.
After De Bruyne got the ball, he passed it directly to the ground and to a large open space in front of the right side.
Wu Lei turned on the furious mode!
He used his speed to overtake Schmelzer, caught up with the ball in front of the baseline, and passed the ball low to the front point.
Vardy also plugged in at high speed at this time.
Hummelme and Subotic's front and back attacks still couldn't stop the powerful England center.
Especially Subotic, who was behind him, almost pulled him forcefully, but failed to stop Vardy.
Vardy shot directly from the front with his right foot!
Only a crisp sound of "duang~" was heard.
The ball hit the near post hard, then flew out of the baseline and hit the billboard on the sidelines.
This shot shocked everyone in Dortmund into a cold sweat, and also made the fans at the People's Park Stadium collectively let out a cry of regret, "Ah...".
Klopp knows that he can't wait any longer!
So he immediately signaled the fourth official to start substitutions.
Schmelzer (bottom), Chris Love (top).
The formation remains the same, the tactics remain the same, the only thing is to suppress Hamburg's attack from the right!
…
Chris Love really made an impact when he came on.
After all, he can run much better than Schmelzer, who is already out of breath.
Wu Lei tried to force a breakthrough several times, but was blocked by him every time.
And he also strictly followed Klopp's instructions just now, which was to stick closely to the Hamburg No. 7 when Wu Lei was roaming the Dortmund backline, ready to counter offside at any time!
While defending closely, Chris Love's men also kept making some small moves and tugging, which affected Wu Lei's starting speed.
This also made Wu Lei a little impatient.
Pan Yi saw this, and he quickly stood on the sidelines and shouted to Wu Lei in an encrypted voice (Chinese):
"Fall back a little and let him follow you back!"
Thanks again for the reward "Don't scold the author unless you can't help it"!
