Chapter 1017

Didi

Klopp felt a chill at the back of his neck. He raised his head. The cold rain fell on his face. His left eyes were blurred.

Damn it, it's raining.

Klopp pulled his heavy down jacket, put on his hat, rubbed his hands in front of him, and let out a breath. A white mist rose in front of him.

This year, the cold winter in Europe came and went relatively late.

At the beginning of March, Paris had just had a heavy snow, which caused traffic paralysis, and many citizens took to the streets to protest.

The temperature in Dortmund is not much better than that in Paris, but it's just that we can't stand the rainy weather here. It's too much, but not too much. It stops every now and then. The air is so wet that the whole person is as uncomfortable as the clothes just thrown out of the washing machine.

But what makes klopper more uncomfortable comes from the pitch.

Visiting Prince Park and challenging Paris Saint Germain, led by alpine, is regarded by klopp as a key battle of self-examination. He wants to prove to alpine the progress he has made in the past two years.

Yes, he is a very good friend with Gao Han. During the period of coaching Bayern Munich, Gao Han did not give him little help. On his way of coaching, he did not receive any advice from Gao Han. However, like all professional coaches, he is proud of beating Gao Han and is eager to compete with Gao Han in the Champions League.

The knockout of the last eight Champions League is undoubtedly a very good platform.

For this reason, klopp and his team immediately prepared a detailed analysis report and preparation plan after they learned that Paris Saint Germain had been selected in the final eight of the Champions League. They simply regarded the first leg of the two sides as the final of the Champions League.

This season's Paris Saint Germain offensive, the most eye-catching is the midfield of the iron triangle.

Last season, Paris Saint Germain's midfield combination was Pastore, Yaya Toure and Pirlo. They had more ball control but less sharpness. Especially in the aspect of attack and defense conversion, Pastore didn't do well enough. This season, alpine continues his tradition of being good at transforming players, transforming winger DiMaria into a midfield.

The midfield triangle of DiMaria, Yaya Toure and Pirlo has become the most surprising combination in European football this season, especially the veteran Pirlo, who is the most indispensable core and a crucial member of Paris Saint Germain.

To freeze Paris Saint Germain's attack, Pirlo must be frozen.

"Our goal is to keep Pirlo out of the game. Once he can do what he wants, we can't defend Paris Saint Germain, but if we can stop Pirlo, the game will be totally different."

This is krop's warning in the dressing room before the game, and the players also meticulously carried out krop's tactics from the beginning of the game. From the beginning of the game, Dortmund tried to oppress the opponent.

But in the end, the price is Paris Saint Germain's midfield iron triangle firmly occupied the upper hand.

Gao Han obviously expected klopp's plan, and obviously knew that Dortmund would use Pirlo to make an issue, so he pulled back the team's ball control area in this game, making Yaya Toure more backward and echoing Pirlo.

With Marcello and azpilikuta on both wings, and David Luis and Tiago Silva behind him, it is difficult for Dortmund to freeze Pirlo. The Italian veteran can always get space by moving flexibly.

Let alone limit Pirlo, Dortmund paid for his pressure in just four minutes.

Pirlo's one foot slant long pass, accurately fell to the left side of the front court.

Suarez and Dortmund's two defenders quickly chased the ball away. In the end, the Uruguayan forward, who had been prepared for a long time, took the lead, stopped the ball, protected it on the side and passed it back to Marcello.

After receiving the pass, Marcelo took advantage of the situation to kill the penalty area, and after passing jingduo'an, he put the ball into the penalty area.

In the restricted area, Neymar took the lead to stop Marcello's cross pass, wipe the other side's central defence, and then form a single shot to hit the goal with a direct push, opening the record for Paris Saint Germain.

There is a saying that is very right, what kind of head coach will bring out what kind of team.

Klopp is very clear about his team's personality, and he did not stop the team, because he, like his players on the field, are not reconciled and want to level the score, and he is also very clear that once he retreats, the defense may be more stable, but the team will have little hope to turn the situation around.

As a result, after losing a goal, Dortmund pressed closer, and the defensive line began to race against the forwards of Paris Saint Germain, which made the players of Paris Saint Germain fall into the offside trap frequently, while Paris Saint Germain continued to happily try to send the ball to Dortmund's back line.

And gradually, klopper also gradually realized the difficulty of Paris Saint Germain's midfield combination.

Pirlo is old, but his strength is still there, and he has rich experience. He is calm in organization and scheduling, and is superb in long and short passes. Yaya Toure is very comprehensive. He can not only provide the midfield with interception and defense hardness, but also has excellent ability to take and carry the ball. After breaking the ball, he can send the ball in time, and also participate in the attack.

DiMaria is a wonderful move in the three man midfield combination. After changing from the side to the middle, his contribution in the defensive end is amazing. He does not hesitate to run physically and defend tenaciously, which is completely different from his period in Real Madrid. But what is more rare is that he is very comprehensive, proficient in passing and breaking through, and able to swim in the side and middle.

The moment that best reflected DiMaria's ability occurred in the 18th minute of the first half.

Dortmund was launching a counterattack at that time. GEZE just crossed the middle line with the ball. DiMaria tried hard to defend and entangled GEZE. After breaking the ball, she turned her left foot to pass the ball to the ground and accurately delivered the ball to Dortmund's 30 meter area.

Suarez quickly retreated from the front and pulled out a central defender. Facing DiMaria's pass, he directly touched the ball and thrust the ball behind the defense. Obamayan was like a flash of lightning, quickly fought offside and succeeded, surpassing schmerze. After catching up with the ball, he formed a single shot and easily provoked the goal.

Two to zero!

Two goals, all wonderful!

Two goals in a row hit Dortmund's morale.

Even if klopp is reluctant, he has to change the starting tactics, adjust the original forward pressure to retract defense, and set up two tight defense lines in front of Paris Saint Germain players, so that Paris Saint Germain can no longer easily face the goal directly.

Paris Saint Germain has two goals in hand, also plays more patiently, starts to stabilize the competition rhythm through the control ball.

Just 20 minutes of continuous fast-paced attack and defense, Dortmund can be described as a complete defeat.

…………

…………

It's been about ten minutes in the second half.

The rain in the sky is getting denser and denser, but people feel colder and colder when they stand by the field.

It's like krop's mood at the moment.

After the retreat, Dortmund completely lost the ability to limit the opponent, Paris Saint Germain completely dominated the game, unscrupulously controlled the ball, and planned the attack again and again.

With the arrival of the drizzle, the field became more and more slippery. Under the pressure and interference of the players of the home team, Dortmund made more and more mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, and the defense began to be left and right, which was very embarrassed.

It convinced everyone that Dortmund would lose the ball again if he went on like this.

"Be careful and try to get the ball out of the 30 meter area as quickly as possible."

Krop went to the edge of the court and yelled at the players on the court.

He is very aware of the problems of the team and the potential crisis. He hopes that the players can play more steadily and make as few mistakes as possible, especially in the 30 meter area.

After Dortmund retreated, he tried to break the ball for many times and then directly launch the long pass, but Tiago Silva and David Lewis were very steady. The long pass reached the front court and was basically controlled by Paris Saint Germain, so the Hornets tried to control the ball.

But with the rain coming, the field is wet and slippery, Dortmund has made a lot of mistakes in passing and catching the ball.

Once in the 30 meter area by the opponent to break the ball successfully, it is a very dangerous thing.

Just now, there was such a mistake. Fortunately, Sven bender fouled in time, but Pirlo's direct free kick was just a little short of Dortmund's goal, which also reminds Dortmund that the Italian midfield's free kick is the best in the world.

After walking to the edge of the court to remind the players, klopp reached out and wiped his face when he walked back, his hands full of water.

"Damn the weather!" The German scolded angrily.

On the pitch, Paris Saint Germain once again organized an attack, trying to put the ball into the penalty area.

But it was soon intercepted by Dortmund's centre back and quickly moved to the foot of pishkek on the right.

Neymar chose to interfere for the first time. Pishchak shook a shot and saw that jingdoan in the middle was still in the restricted area. He passed the ball to the front of the restricted area and wanted to pass it to Sven bender.

Bender's reaction was also timely. He stopped the ball at the first time.

What I didn't expect was that the ball was wet and slippery with water. When the ball was stopped, it stopped big accidentally.

Yaya Toure, who had originally decided to retreat, reacted quickly. Suddenly, he made a sprint and cut between bender and the ball. After blocking bender with his body, he controlled the ball with his long legs and pushed forward with the ball.

Suddenly from attack to defense, Dortmund's defense was stunned.

Yaya Toure kept Sven bender at his side and let Sven bender pull hard without stopping him. He pushed the ball to the front of the penalty area and blocked it with one foot, passing the ball to Suarez's feet. However, the Uruguayan suddenly hit a lower left corner after crossing Subotic.

The ball with the rain on the turf, quickly hit the bottom of Dortmund's goal net.

Suarez in the rain, excitedly rushed out of the stadium, a slide kneel, rushed to the edge of the stands.

All the fans cheered wildly.

The players of Paris Saint Germain rushed out one by one and surrounded Suarez.

On the edge of the court, krop, who just turned around, witnessed all this with his own eyes. He patted his forehead hard and shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Yaya Toure's dribbling ability, especially the threat at the front of the big penalty area, is really considerable.

He had reminded his players before the game, but the result was used.

Zero to three, he's done, Dortmund's done!
