Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Here, the players of RB Leipzig are like calves, able to run, jump and charge. Such characteristics are the weak spot of the team against the exhausted Dortmund team.

Facing the fast-paced whirlwind of RB Leipzig, even if they were defending in the half court, the defensive players of the Hornets were not very active in running.

The body can't keep up with the brain.

In the 20th minute of the game, Andre's header in front of the goal broke the deadlock and ignited the enthusiasm of the home fans.

After losing the ball, Dortmund did not respond and was still pressed in the half court by the opponent.

The second goal came, and RB Leipzig scored another goal with a corner kick.

2-0.

In terms of both the result and the process, the Dortmund team, which was short of soldiers and generals, was completely crushed and completely lost under the cheering of the home fans.

At the end of the first half, Andre's header once again made Dortmund sweat.

The torturous first half finally ended, and the Dortmund fans who watched the game were glad to lose two goals.

The attack of RB Leipzig was too suffocating, and there were at least five chances to score.

The defending champions were once again in a mess in the first half against RB Leipzig, as if it was a replay of the first round of the two teams.

It was just that in that game, Wang Po rose in the second half and saved the team.

What about this game?

"Brighton, you will be the defensive midfielder in the second half, Kagawa and Mkhitaryan, you two will come down, Wang Po and Ousmane Dembele, you two will warm up and come on the court."

Tuchel is going to fight for his life.

We can't wait any longer. If we lose another goal, this game will be completely over, and the team must change. "Wow, Wang Po and Dembele both appeared on the field, using up two quotas in one go. Tuchel can't sit still. In this game, can Wang Po replicate the performance of the first confrontation between the two sides?"

Wang Po's appearance filled everyone's expectations.

This season, Brighton, as the only signing of the Hornets, has performed very well in the sweeping midfielder position, and various defensive data are also ranked at the forefront. However, in most cases, it is partnered with Kagawa, Mkhitaryan, and Wang Po. The position of single midfielder is his first attempt, which is also Tuchel's most risky move in this game.

With the innovation and change of tactics.

The existence of single midfielder has basically been abandoned by most coaches, which means that the number of people involved in defense has decreased and the area covered has decreased.

Brighton has to cover the defensive area of ​​​​two people at ordinary times, which has extremely high requirements for consciousness and physical fitness.

Even the current world's No. 1 midfielder, the French midfielder Kante, who is known as "there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, only Kante who cannot be overcome", finds it difficult to control this position.

Fight for life!

In Wang Po's opinion, Dortmund has fallen into a desperate situation.

Unlike the first time the two sides met, the offensive system of Leipzig Red Bull has become more mature after half a season of experience in the Bundesliga. It has gotten rid of the problem of relying on counterattacks. Through the continuous interweaving of several energetic strikers in the frontcourt, they use physical strength and running to tear the gaps in the opponent's defense line to create offensive opportunities. Not only that, when defending, except for Andre who is in the center position, all the others have to retreat to their own half to participate in defense.

In terms of offense and defense, this team lacks experience in major competitions. In time, it will definitely be able to make a difference in the Champions League.

On the other hand, Dortmund currently has two problems, one is defense and the other is offense.

In terms of defense, the offense can't stop the impact of Leipzig Red Bull's young army.

In terms of offense, the strikers led by Aubameyang can't effectively put pressure on the opponent's penalty area.

With the current state of the players and the number of substitutions in hand, it is impossible to solve these two problems at once.

Two goals behind, Tuchel chose to gamble.

Offense is the best defense.

As long as the opponent can be suppressed in offense, the pressure of defense will definitely be relieved.

Of course, if the striker fails to put pressure on the defense of Leipzig Red Bull, judging from the performance in the first half, the Hornets should be prepared for a tragedy.

The first time Wang Pei touched the ball, he encountered a fierce foul from the opponent and was thrown to the ground.

Obviously, in this game, Leipzig Red Bull made special defensive arrangements for Wang Pei, the core of Dortmund.

Another time he received the ball, there were still players from Leipzig Red Bull who followed him, and they interfered with Wang Pei's rhythm of holding the ball through fouls and small movements.

Wang Pei's several passes and offensive organization were not satisfactory. Instead, he was intercepted in the midfield and almost lost the ball.

The game time came to the 70th minute, and the score on the field was already 0-2 behind the Leipzig Red Bull team at home. What was even more desperate was that the core player Wang Po could not find the offensive rhythm, and the Hornets did not substantially increase the threat to the opponent's goal.

The ball was intercepted again, and Wang Po shook his head helplessly, obviously very dissatisfied with his performance in this game.

Tuchel on the sidelines had a solemn face and said nothing. All the cards he could play had been played, and he had no other choice.

"Boy, the same accident will not happen twice. We will get the three points this time."

Andre stuck to Wang Po like a villain and said in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Heh, the game isn't over yet." Wang Po sneered.

Andre sneered, "Really? If I remember correctly, you didn't have a single shot on target in this game, and now we are two goals ahead."

"Really? In the first round, you were also two goals ahead, how was the result?"

Hearing this, Andre's face suddenly darkened, "I don't believe you'll be so lucky this time."

"We'll see."

Changes had to be made, Wang Po quietly completed the position swap with Osman Dembele on the wing.

The latter was in the middle, and Wang Po was more like a winger.

This small change made the Leipzig Red Bull team quickly taste the bitter fruit.

Everyone's defensive focus was still on Wang Po, and there were no excessive restrictions on Osman Dembele who was holding the ball.

Get rid of the ball, break through, and accelerate.

Osman Dembele drove straight into the middle like a black lightning.

Dangerous.

Seeing Ousmane Dembele rushing to the Leipzig Red Bull penalty area unimpeded, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly ran to the middle to make up for the position.

Dembele made a fake shot and passed the ball to Wang Po, who was unguarded on the wing.

The entire right half of the area was unguarded, and Wang Po would never miss such a good opportunity to shoot. Facing the ball, he opened his foot and scored with a light shot in the far corner.

1 to 2.

Dortmund scored a goal.
