Ice Shooter of the Green Field

Finally, the day everyone has been waiting for has arrived.

May 14, 2011.

Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Dortmund, West Stadium.

Most of the officials of the German Football Association, including the vice-chairman Koch who presented the award for Dortmund last season, came here with genuine Bundesliga salad plates.

In the last dance of Westminster this season, Klopp sent several main players, and finally defeated Frankfurt 2:0 with the goals of Zize and Lewandowski. The number of goals scored in the league was finally fixed at 29. At the same time, Bayern Munich's Gomez was crazily fed by the team and staged a hat-trick, but the result was still one goal behind.

Next is the crowning ceremony of the champion.

As two-time Bundesliga champions, the boys are familiar with the championship award ceremony, but this time it is at home, and the players are even more excited.

For this reason, the club hired live DJs to replace the active atmosphere of the announcers as always, and invited a group of famous team players to cheer for Dortmund, who has won two consecutive Bundesliga titles and is expected to achieve an unprecedented triple crown this season. and cheer.

Most of the lineup that won the UEFA Champions League in 1997 came to the scene, goalkeeper Stefan Kroos, team history legend + head coach Mathias Sammer, Portuguese star Paulo Sousa, left back about Erg Heinrich, once another very famous Müller, Andres Müller, Lars Ricken who played for Dortmund until a few years ago, Karl Heinz who scored in the final Riddell, the all-rounder Ruitt in the backcourt, and of course the current sports director Michel Zorc and others.

These are the legendary stars who won the UEFA Champions League that year. In addition, members of the 2002 Bundesliga champions such as Jan Koller and Amoruso who announced their retirement not long ago also came to the scene to welcome this Dortmund team.

...

This time the championship celebration ceremony was not grand, and the fans just paraded for their own entertainment. The team did not plan to parade for the Bundesliga championship. After all, it is still facing the finals of the German Cup and the Champions League.

The players are also very low-key, and most of them did not accept interviews. The closest match was the DFB-Pokal against Schalke 04. Many media were quite disappointed. He also wanted to pry some more shocking remarks from Qi Ce's mouth.

But let alone Qi Ce now, Klopp himself is very low-key and doesn't accept interviews very much.

On the training ground, Klopp did not allow reporters to enter. There was also a small dirt hill around the training ground. Klopp asked someone to pull up a fence on the small dirt hill to prevent reporters and the ghosts who got in to take pictures.

The first is the German Cup final. This year's German Cup final ushered in the Ruhr Derby, also known as the Meituan War Are You Hungry.

Berlin Olympic Stadium.

Every year, this place witnesses the birth of the German Cup champion. Zize also stood on this stage two years ago. At that time, the opponent was Werder Bremen, and now it is Schalke 04.

Wearing a blue jersey is the home team that was drawn in this game, Royal Blue Schalke 04, while Dortmund is wearing a yellow shirt and black pants.

Today's game has completely different meanings for the two teams.

For Dortmund, it is a dessert before the main meal, but the opponent is a bit special, so Dortmund is bound to get this dessert, but it's just that Schalke 04 is more serious about the degree of desire.

It can be said that the German Cup is the highest and main honor that Schalke 04 can compete for. So far, in the trophy showroom of Schalke 04, the highest honor should be the champion of the Europa League. That was in 1997, Schalke 04 meritorious coach, Dutch coach Huber Stevens led the Royal Blue to win the UEFA Cup. The Dutch also won two German Cups and two Bundesliga runner-up honors. It can be said that Schalke 04 history The most successful head coach ever.

But this is almost all of Schalke 04's honor book.

After the establishment of the Bundesliga, in addition to the championship trophies won by Stevens, only the German Cup champion in 1972 is worthy of honor. In 2005, there was also a preseason championship, which was called the German League Cup at that time. It can be regarded as consolation.

If you don't go back to the era before the establishment of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 does have so many honors.

Compared with their bitter rival Dortmund, it looks much shabby, and this is where Dortmund fans can mainly show off to Schalke 04 fans.

Especially in the past two years, Dortmund was the Bundesliga champion last season, and this season has another chance to hit the triple crown.

In this game, Schalke 04 will attack with the full main lineup. The goalkeeper is Neuer. In the defense, Höwedes will partner with Metzelder. Pender and Atsuto Uchida will be on the left and right. In the midfield, Jones will partner with Lackey. Tich, with Farfan and Jurado on both sides, Raul as the shadow forward position, and Huntelaar as the center forward.

For Dortmund, Zize leads the striker line, Royce and Kuba move around him, and Gotze is behind him. Weidenfeller.

The game officially begins.

Schalke 04 won the kick-off and took the lead at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Schalke 04 head coach Magath made fine-tuning in tactics. What looks like a 442 formation actually looks like a 41212, with Jones playing the defensive midfielder, Jurado and Rakitic standing in the midfield In the middle, Farfan moved behind the two forwards, that is, he gave up the wing, and mainly used the center to tear apart Dortmund's defense.

This is to target Dortmund's midfielder. As Dortmund becomes more and more famous in Europe, many coaches have studied and reviewed Dortmund's tactics. Many people think that Dortmund's Shaheen is a point that needs attention. .

But at the same time, Bender also did a good job of protecting Shaheen. Their cooperation in the midfield allowed the forwards in front to have enough shells. The most typical is Shaheen's oblique long pass to Kuba.

This season, Dortmund have scored a lot of goals through this style of play, because Shaheen found Kuba, and the Pole used his speed to tear through the defense and pass the ball to the center. Can easily pass the ball to Qi Ce, Shinji Kagawa, or Gotze who often come to meet.

Then cut off the source!

In fact, this is somewhat self-deceiving.

Most coaches know that Qi Ce is the player who needs to defend the most, but after two seasons, the masters from all walks of life have tried their best to try to limit Qi Ce. I didn't adapt, or I was in a bad state that day.

Because later people tried to do the same thing, and none of them were successful.

Mourinho didn't succeed, neither did Ferguson, nor did Van Gaal. He Magath wanted to do the same, but it didn't work.

Then the gods from all walks of life held a half-give up mentality and looked for other reasons.

Mourinho was the first to do so.

He is so far the only head coach of the team who has played against Zize four times in one season. The defensive master used many methods. In the last game, he chose to cut off the connection between other players and Zize. In a disguised form, he was ready to find the reason from other places.

As a result, Zize scored a wonderful goal that surpassed several people.

But it doesn't matter, it seems to be a success.

Because Zize scored only one goal.

Stronger than Ferguson, being caught by Zize made a big four at Old Trafford!

So Magath thought, if you only get one score if you look for problems from others, then think about how to kick when you lose a goal, wouldn't it be fine!

Well, this is indeed a bit bewildered.

At the beginning, facing Schalke 04's changes, Dortmund was indeed a little uncomfortable.

Magath is definitely right in doing one thing. Shaheen is restricted, and Dortmund's regular offensive routines are indeed seriously affected. There are always one or two people in front of Shaheen to defend, Rakitic will pass, and Farfan will also , Occasionally Raul would come over to help defend.

Shaheen could only pass safety balls non-stop, and he couldn't get a high ball to pass. Klopp immediately saw the problem. He ran to the sidelines, opened his hands and turned outside.

Klopp's body movements have always been exaggerated, but it also has advantages. The players on the field know his signals and what to do.

This is to widen the offensive width!

That's right, since you're gathering people in the middle, then I'll run away, can't afford to provoke or hide!
