Chapter 197 Peak Shadow

Whose home court is this?

This is not only Marcel Leif’s question, but also what Werder Bremen fans want to ask.

Even if Werder Bremen's performance this season is indeed a little worse, this is his home court after all.

As a result, Dortmund quickly took the initiative and scored a goal ahead...

But Dortmund's performance is not over yet.

In the 41st minute, after Dortmund continued to press Werder Bremen's goal for almost ten minutes, he shot two consecutive times, but they were blocked.

Zhou Yi suddenly inserted into the penalty area, and as he inserted into the penalty area, Reus passed the football to him.

So he received the ball in the penalty area and turned around and shot with a strafing shot.

The power is not great, but the shot is sudden and the angle is very tricky.

Werder Bremen goalkeeper Wolf was caught off guard. When he fell to the ground to save, the football had already rolled into the goal behind him!

"Zhou Yi! Oh! Zhou Yi! He scored the second goal of the game for Dortmund! Before the end of the first half, Dortmund led two goals!"

"Zhou Yi scored his first goal after the winter break. From this game, we can see that Zhou Yi is still in a very good state. Whether it is organizing the offense or the front goal... he is very proactive. Judging from his running, his physical fitness is not problem at all..." Duan Xin kept praising Zhou Yi.

"Leading 2:0, this score is like the microcosm of the first half of Dortmund and Werder Bremen. Dortmund has completely taken the lead. Whether it is the score or the ball possession rate, Dortmund has the advantage. It seems that the four-point gap has made them see the hope of catching up with Bayern Munich..."

※※※

During the break, Klopp praised the players' performance, but also put forward higher requirements: "If possible, we must strive to score more goals. After all, it is at their home court, anything can happen in the 45 minutes of the second half, and no one can take it lightly..."

At the beginning of the second half, Dortmund's entire team implemented the head coach's guidelines and actively drove the war to Werder Bremen's half.

And the results were achieved shortly after the second half began.

Just as the second half began, Dortmund used bombardment to get a corner kick.

After the corner kick was taken, Werder Bremen midfielder Bagfred competed for the top in front of the goal, but he did not directly push out of the dangerous area. Under Mark's close interference, he rubbed the football towards the back point. Dortmund's central defender Friedrich happened to appear there, followed by a push shot, easily hitting the football into the empty goal!

"Friedrich! This firefighter who joined Dortmund as a free agent before the winter break scored his first goal at Dortmund! In this game, Friedrich started the game by replacing Hummels, who was injured again in the mid-week warm-up match... Seeing that he can perform like this, Dortmund fans can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being..."

"The second half just started, and Dortmund already took three goals away from home... Although he was troubled by injuries, Dortmund's lineup has not been neat, but even so, they still maintained a very strong combat power. Let's imagine - if Dortmund did not encounter so many injuries this season, then how wonderful the competition between them and Bayern Munich would be..." Marcel Lef said with a pity. He didn't want to see the Bundesliga returning to the dominant situation.

※※※

Werder Bremen may not have expected that Dortmund, who had already led two goals, would still be so "unrestrained". He attacked hard as soon as the second half was in full swing and caught off guard.

The whole team has been in a state of "confused" after conceding the ball.

He completely lost control of the scene and was completely suppressed and beaten by Dortmund.

All the threatening offenses in the game come from Dortmund.

In the 51st minute, Mark received a wonderful pass from Zhou Yi on the right side of the penalty area and turned around and shot hard, slightly above the crossbar, which shocked the fans of Werder Bremen in a cold sweat.

In the 56th minute, Piszczek inserted from the right and shot hard twenty-five meters away from the goal. As a result, the football hit the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line!

"Pischeck! Oh - it's so dangerous! Werder Bremen almost lost the ball again!"

"In this defense, Werder Bremen's best performance should be their home goal crossbar!"

Dortmund's continuous offensive, like a storm, is a characteristic of Dortmund's heyday. When the pace of the game falls into their hands, you can quickly and slowly. The reason why this is possible is that they have a "super brain" Zhou Yi, and on the other hand, it is because their team has excellent physical fitness and excellent running ability, so they can keep up with the endless passing and play such a suffocating offensive on the court.

These two complement each other and are indispensable.

Dortmund's dominance in the game has declined this season, which is related to their excessive injuries. The original players either left the team or were injured. They have recruited a large number of new players, and their training and philosophy are different from those of Dortmund before.

So there is no dominant tactic in this world. The dominant one is the team, which is composed of players, not a set of tactics. Tactics will eventually fall on the players' personal performance, after all, they must be executed by the players.

If the player cannot do the ability, then no matter how powerful the tactic is, it is just a castle in the air, and talking about it on paper is meaningless.

Klopp's Dortmund has always adhered to the tactical style of mad dogs for four seasons. At that time, he was under his command of the "little dogs" in his prime. After these four seasons of hard work, although the team achieved unprecedented results, the team's potential was squeezed out by him, and the players' bodies began to have various situations.

Even the players who transferred and left the team couldn't escape.

This season, Gotze just transferred to Bayern Munich, but missed the early league rounds of the season due to injury. At that time, there was a voice that Gotze was treated inhumanely at Dortmund, squeezed by Klopp like a beast, and then threw a waste he squeezed was to Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich didn't know about this situation before. It was not until Gotze's transfer that they noticed the hidden dangers of Dortmund from Gotze. They realized that this old opponent who had been entangled with them for several seasons should have been exhausted this season and it was impossible to pose any threat to them anymore...

Of course, Bayern Munich Club has never agreed with this view. Gotze himself also refuted the "explosion".

But this kind of plausible message was still circulating wildly in private and became one of Klopp's crimes.

Regardless of the rumors, the objective fact is that Dortmund's injuries have suddenly increased this season, and Klopp's good tactics will naturally not be able to play.

The game against Werder Bremen finally made people vaguely see the "yellow and black storm" that dominated the German football world in the past few seasons.

※※※

Dortmund's bombing is not "thunder and rain alone".

Their constant shooting put huge pressure on Werder Bremen's players, making them panic in defense and lose sight of the other.

So Dortmund's opportunity came.

In the 62nd minute, Sven Bend intercepted the Werder Bremen's forward pass in the midfield and then launched a counterattack directly.

In the counterattack, Zhou Yi and Reus made a switch.

Zhou Yi ran to the left road, while Reus went to the middle road.

Reus dribbled forward after receiving the ball in the middle. After attracting Werder Bremen's defenders, he handed the ball to Zhou Yi, who had already penetrated into the left side of the penalty area.

While Zhou Yi received the ball, he took the ball into the penalty area.

His sudden forward insertion made Werder Bremen's defenders nervous collectively - the goal in the 41st minute was because of Zhou Yi's sudden forward insertion, which caught them off guard.

This time they don’t want to trip over the same stone again!

So the Werder Bremen player in the penalty area immediately turned around to defend Zhou Yi and forced him to the side.

Zhou Yi did take the football outward, but just as he was about to sprint to the side, his left heel was very hidden and knocking the football behind him!

The football was passed to Reus who was inserted!

Zhou Yi took away most of the Werder Bremen players who defended him in the penalty area!

Reus is in front of the penalty spot and there is no one to guard the game!

There is no better chance than this!

Reus shot with the ball!

Football hit goalkeeper Wolf against the corner, and he was completely powerless!
