Ice Shooter of the Green Field
Chapter 222 The Strongest Opponent in the European War
The result of this game is also 2:0.
Of course, it was already 92 minutes before Chice scored the second goal. It may have passed the stoppage time when he ran from the goal to the center circle with the ball in his arms. They simply clapped their hands and celebrated the goal.
At this stage of the season, every victory should be precious, but it is difficult for Dortmund's players to get excited.
Unfortunately.
This game should have scored as early as possible, so that the morale is up, maybe a few more can be scored, but the morale of the team is still very high.
It’s just that after entering the locker room later, I learned that Bayern Munich had won 6:0, and most of the happy atmosphere was washed away. After all, at halftime, everyone thought that 3:0 was enough, but they didn’t expect to turn it over. doubled!
In the end, it was Klopp's speech that boosted some morale.
There's still a gap of five goal difference...
If you want to score goals, you must score as many goals as possible, and it is best not to concede a goal. This is too much pressure.
Klopp was standing on the sidelines with mixed feelings to welcome the players into the player channel. At this moment, his mood was very complicated. Although the team won and the standings were not pulled away, everyone knew that Dortmund's hopes were very slim.
But the team won, and Klopp had no reason to be angry in the face of Hoffenheim, a strong opponent.
It's just that Klopp can't be happy in this situation.
When did Dortmund become so extravagant?
It's not enough to even win the game!
Thinking of this, Klopp smiled bitterly, then regained his mood, trying to put aside the messy things, and let himself only remember the team's 2-0 victory over Hoffenheim.
Klopp, who entered the locker room shortly later, still praised the team's performance. He asked the players to go all out to maintain themselves in the next game, and just do their best in the next game.
Still, the players who left the pitch were unhappy.
Bayern Munich has won too much, how can they catch up now?
It's just that there is no time for Dortmund to adjust.
Because their opponent in the next round is Liverpool!
It is the Liverpool team with Gerrard, Torres, Mascherano and other famous players!
Not long ago, they visited the city of Liverpool. Their opponent was Everton, Liverpool's mortal enemy. Of course, Liverpool will not play this game with the mentality of revenge for the team in the same city. The happiest thing about Everton being eliminated is Dortmund Fans, followed by Liverpool fans.
The grievances between these two teams have been around for a long time, so I won’t go into details. The name of the Merseyside Derby is well-known in the UK. It is not much less popular than the Ruhr Derby, and there are many British football hooligans. From the sidelines, maybe the derby is even more popular than the derby in the Ruhr area.
Liverpool definitely want to win the Europa League this season.
After all, it is now impossible for Liverpool to win the Premier League championship. With three rounds left in the league, Liverpool, which ranks seventh in the league, only scored 59 points, while Chelsea had already scored 77 points.
What makes it even more difficult for the KOP to accept is that it is only a matter of time before they miss the UEFA Champions League next season. At present, Liverpool is still 8 points behind Tottenham Hotspur in fourth place. Scoring points in the game can completely kick Liverpool, the past king with five Champions League titles, out of the Champions League next season.
As for the FA Cup, the Premier League team played in the first round, that is, the third round of the FA Cup, they were eliminated by Reading, and the League Cup was also kicked out by Arsenal in the 16-to-8 knockout round.
In short, all four are in sight, and the only championship that can be competed for is the Europa League.
In this case, money seems to be less important.
Face is sometimes more important than money, especially for a Premier League giant like Liverpool.
And here,
So is Dortmund.
Of course, Dortmund still has the hope of winning the Bundesliga. In terms of probability, their hope of winning the championship is still not small. After all, Bayern and them have the same points, and it depends on who will not lose the chain.
There are still three games, and Bayern may not lose the chain, right?
However, instead of competing for the championship where most of the initiative is in the hands of others, it is better to focus on events where you still have the initiative.
There are no weak teams in the semi-finals. The initiative is in the hands of Dortmund and Liverpool.
Just two days after Dortmund played against Hoffenheim, Liverpool will face the challenge.
This schedule is not friendly, but fortunately Dortmund is home. In the semi-finals, Dortmund's schedule is first home and then away. Maybe many people think that the schedule of first away and then home is more favorable, but for Dortmund who just finished a league game It is more beneficial to host first and then guest.
After all, the start time of the Europa League and the Champions League are staggered. The Europa League often starts the day before the Champions League.
And the team that plays home first and then away can decide how to deploy the next round of the league and the second round of confrontation based on their performance at home, which is also one of the favorable factors.
Of course, these favorable factors are only relative. In the final analysis, the victory or defeat of football is determined by most of the strength plus a small part of luck, and a little bit of these off-field factors. Only strength has the greatest impact on the outcome.
On April 22, West ** ushered in the strongest opponent in this season's Europa League journey, the Premier League giants Red Army Liverpool.
Meeting a strong team in European competitions is completely different from meeting Bayern Munich in the league, because you don’t know your opponents very well. Opponents in the same league have played in the same league for decades, even if there are some changes. It can also be said to be more or less understood.
And the opponents in the European war, especially a team like Dortmund that has been away for several years, have a completely different feeling when they encounter such a veteran of the European war.
Liverpool coach Benitez played a new trick in this game-this is not surprising, and it is nothing new for Benitez, known as the master of tactics, to change from one formation to the next.
Liverpool's starting XI is as follows.
Goalkeeper: Reina.
Defenders: Carragher, Skrtel, Glenn Johnson, Dossena.
Midfield: Mascherano, Lucas, Gerrard, Benayoun, Dirk.
Forward: Torres.
Dortmund made small changes in a few places, basically the main force is still attacking, the midfielder, Bender, Shaheen, Kagawa Shinji start, Qi Ce, Zi Dan, Kuba are the strikers, and the defenders are Subotic partner Hu. Myers, the left and right backs are Schmelzer and Owomoyela, and the goalkeeper is Weidenfeller.
Liverpool still looks like a 4231 formation, with Gerrard pushed up to the front midfielder, Benayoun and Dirk Dirk as two wingers, but the actual position looks like a 4222 formation, with Dirk as the striker. Benayoun and Gerrard double front midfielder, Mascherano and Lucas as midfielder.
I don't know how Benitez, known as the cup master, thinks about this. Maybe he wants to concentrate on attacking Dortmund's center?
With such doubts in mind, the game finally started, Dortmund VS Liverpool!
However, the start of the game was not as intense as the fans imagined.
Benitez, the tactician, decided to base himself on defense first. He sent two defensive midfielders Javier Mascherano and Lucas Leiva for this purpose, and the two forwards, Torres, have always stood at the forefront. Up front, while Dirk Dirk started fighting and defending from the front line.
The two attacking midfielders, Gerrard and Benayoun, are also active in running. Master Bei studied Dortmund's tactical style and decided to focus on interference in the frontcourt and defense in the backcourt. He will never be overwhelmed by Dortmund's speed. Then I was trying to find a way to hit a counterattack goal.
This requires extremely high willpower and physical fitness of the players, but players such as Kevin Dirk and Gerrard are notoriously invincible. This style of play is still very effective for Dortmund, at least it will not be blocked by Dortmund's speed. Breaking down the formation all at once, there is enough time to adjust.
