Chapter 127 Crazy Klopp
People have some basic judgments and predictions about this game.
Basically, it is believed that although it is a away game, Bayern Munich will have a more advantage.
Experts and celebrities believe that Dortmund, who plays at home, should base himself on a stable defense and try every means to prevent this temporary patchwork of defense from making mistakes and be able to withstand Bayern Munich's fierce offensive.
Even if you play 0:0 at home in the end, it will be a great victory.
But no matter how you look at it, Dortmund doesn't seem to be able to hold on for 90 minutes at home. Their defense line is really worrying.
But after the game started, everyone was surprised to find that Dortmund was different from what they imagined!
Dortmund did not act like a defensive posture at his home court and dealt with Bayern Munich.
On the contrary, they played very proactively!
Especially the two full-backs Groskreuz and Dulm, the performance was incredible.
Just six minutes into the game, Groskreuz, who served as the starting right back in this game, actively stepped forward to the 30-meter area of Bayern Munich.
Then Zhou Yi passed the football to him. After receiving the ball, he made a slight adjustment and directly made a cross at the forty-five degrees!
While he made a cross, Mark suddenly accelerated forward and ran to the gap between the two Bayern Munich defenders. He used his chest to remove Groskreuz's cross, and then turned around and shot!
“Mark Wagner—!!”
As Marcel Lef pulled out his long voice, the football rose above the crossbar.
Although there was no goal, it shocked Bayern Munich fans in a cold sweat. Before the game, they all thought that Dortmund, who could not even play in the back line, should be very relaxed. The victory or defeat in this game is suspenseful to May. The only suspense is how many goals Bayern Munich can win.
Unexpectedly, the most threatening attack was made by Dortmund. If the kick was not high but was within the range of the goal frame, it was hard to say whether Neuer could save it. After all, the place where Mark shot at the time was far from Neuer, which could be described as "closely"...
"Mark missed an excellent opportunity! Oh!" Duan Xin also regretted. Although it has always been said that he is a fan of Bayern Munich, because Dortmund has two Chinese players, he certainly supports Dortmund. Moreover, the current situation is very unfavorable for Dortmund. If Dortmund loses to Bayern Munich at home, the original four-point difference will become seven points. Judging from Bayern Munich's stable performance this season, it is really difficult for Dortmund to chase Dortmund. And if Dortmund can beat Bayern Munich and narrow the difference to one point again, then there is still some competition for the league championship this season.
Mark himself is also very sorry. He knows very well how eager Dortmund is to score any goal today, and he just missed a precious goal opportunity like gold.
No one knows whether the opportunity he missed would have any adverse impact on the outcome of this game...

Although Mark did not score, Dortmund's offensive did not disappear because of this. On the contrary, Dortmund continued to attack through two sides.
Groskreuz and Dulm seemed to have no concerns about the possible gaps behind them, not only to step forward to participate in the attack.
At the beginning, Bayern Munich seemed very uncomfortable with Dortmund's style of play. He never expected that Dortmund, who should have been at a disadvantage, was so proactive.
So for a moment, a dangerous situation arose in front of Bayern Munich!
In the 13th minute, after Dulm's forward jump attracted the attention of Bayern Munich defender, Zhou Yi unexpectedly sent the football to the ribs.
After Aubameyang cut in the ribs and got the ball, he shot the far corner of the goal, but was barely blocked by Neuer with his fingertips.
Dortmund then took a corner kick, and Papastasopoulos' header was slightly higher.
Two minutes later, Dortmund came up again.
This time, Zhou Yi passed the ball behind Bayern Munich's defense line, and ran wildly from the backcourt. Groskreuz, who was running forward at high speed, faced the opportunity given by Zhou Yi, and kept swinging the ball and shot directly!
Groskreutz did not play in the middle, not only did they shoot directly without stopping the ball, but it was actually very difficult. So Groskreutz kicked out and hit the middle and upper part of the football.
But this actually creates an unexpected but better effect.
Because most people will shoot high in volleys, and few people will press down and hit the ground.
Groskreuz had no right kick. The football rolled on the turf, rushed forward quickly, and headed straight to the corner of the goal!
Any unexpected shooting angle actually makes it more difficult for the goalkeeper to save.
But Neuer is standing in front of Bayern Munich!
When the football was running towards the goal, it was indeed difficult for him to fall to the ground and use his hands to snatch the football out, so he chose a simpler approach - to fall directly to the ground, and then spread his legs to increase the defense area!
The football shot from Groskreuz was blocked by his left foot and left the bottom line!

"Neul! It's so dangerous! He made an incredible save again!" Marcel Lef shouted. He felt incredible for Neuer's save, but what made him even more incredible was that Dortmund's series of performances after the start of the game really completely subverted everyone's ordinary perception.
The TV broadcast also pointed the camera at Dortmund's head coach Klopp.
Klopp in the camera uses an exaggerated action to express his regret for Dortmund's failure to score in this offense.
Guardiola also turned his head to observe Klopp.
Dortmund's performance after the opening was far beyond his expectations. He knew that Klopp was a personality coach with a perverse personality and a bit crazy talk and behavior, but he did not expect to be so crazy.
When the defense line was seriously unstable, he did not choose to stabilize the defense, but instead attacked desperately!
The opponent I met in the Bundesliga is really interesting...
Guardiola came back from the initial shock. He had guessed what Klopp was going to do, so he was even more shocked by Klopp's madness.
Klopp probably knew that it was almost impossible to defend a 0:0 draw with the deck of cards he had in his hands.
Since that's the case, Klopp simply gave up his plan to defend, and did the opposite, and decided to use offense to replace defense.
Since you can't stand it, if you want to lose the ball sooner or later, it's better to start first, take the lead first, and take the initiative in your own hands.
Taking a step back, even if you lose the ball, you will have a better mentality. For example, if Dortmund leads one goal and then concedes one goal, it will also be a 1:1 draw. But if Dortmund fails to score and Bayern Munich scores the ball, it will become a 0:1 defeat.
Normal people know how to choose.
But normal people are also worried that if they exert force on the offensive end, it will lead to further emptiness in the already unstable rear, and then Bayern Munich seized the opportunity to score the first goal?
Once a normal person is so worried, he will be very cautious about letting the full-backs get assisted.
Klopp is not a normal person, he doesn't care about the problems that normal people are worried about.
He wanted to attack and attack again, and fully implement the concept of "the best defense is attack".
Defence void?
That was not something he had to worry about at all. He only considered how to score the goal before Bayern Munich reacted.
I have to say that this is indeed a crazy approach, with high risks, but once successful, it can reverse the situation between both sides.
And he almost succeeded.
In the first ten minutes, Dortmund's offense was even more threatening, and he almost scored several goals.
But unfortunately, if such a crazy approach is not successful, there will be endless troubles...
Guardiola has come back to his senses, Dortmund has not scored yet.
This is the risk.
If Dortmund continues to attack like this, the loopholes in the defense will sooner or later be caught by Bayern Munich. Once Bayern Munich scores a goal, Dortmund will collapse.
Because the basis on which their crazy behavior no longer exists.
No wonder Groskreutz didn't score the ball just now, Klopp was so upset and made such exaggerated moves...
Chapter completed!
