Champion’s Heart

v4 Chapter 157: Gambler Klopp

Klopp's substitution adjustment was considered by Schalke 04 to be a quick jump, completely wrong and rational adjustment. It is no problem to change to Shaxin, but it is definitely debatable to replace Humels.

If you want to strengthen the control of the midfield, shouldn't the normal practice be to replace a forward and a midfielder?

Defense is the foundation of everything. Now changing to a defender is equivalent to weakening the defense. So what does it mean to strengthen the control of the midfield?

Of course, it is not surprising that Klopp made such adjustments, because he is such a kind of head coach who is easily desperate and a complete gambler. Sometimes, he can gamble to win, but there are no gamblers in the world who can always gamble to win.

Klopp won before, and it doesn't mean he can still bet this time.

In the opinion of Schalke 04's head coach Jens Keller, Klopp's adjustment is Schalke 04's opportunity to seize the relatively empty opportunity on their back line and strive to score another goal, so this There is no suspense in the outcome of the game.

Keller succeeded the dismissed coach Stevens before the winter break and became the team's head coach. Prior to that, he coached in the U17 of Schalke 04. The Schalke 04 club stated that Keller is not an over-coaching team. He will coach until the end of the season.

Stevens was dismissed because of his poor team performance. At the time of his dismissal, Schalke 04 had even fallen out of the Champions League, winning six consecutive games.

The main task of Keller after taking over the team is to return the team to the Champions League and to be eligible for the Champions League next season. For Schalke 04, although participating in the Champions League will make them poor in the league, but the qualification of the Champions League is related to huge financial income. This is a sum of money that cannot be easily given up. In addition, if you can participate in the Champions League every year, it is also good for the development of team strength. Take a look at Dortmund today, which is a good example for them. Dortmund can participate in the Champions League every year, they also won a two consecutive championship in the domestic league, the team's strength has advanced by leaps and bounds.

Keller also knew that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavy. He came to this club last July and signed a two-year U17 coaching contract with Schalke 04. He led the Schalke U17 in the Youth League with very good results. As of the time he coached the first team of Schalke 04, he led the U17 in the Western Conference 13 games, and because of the U17 youth team and Schalke 04 The first team adopts a similar formation, and the handover between Keller and Stevens will not be too difficult.

When coaching U17, Schalke 04K17 led by Keller scored 77 goals in 13 games. His offensive firepower is very strong, and he is in the youth league. He is facing the Dortmund youth team’s In the Ruhr Derby, he led the team to defeat Dortmund 4:3. What Schalke 04 failed to do in the first team, he realized it in the youth team, so it can be regarded as a coach with Ruhr Derby victory experience.

Now he leads the Schalke 04 first team and leads Dortmund in the Ruhr Derby with two goals. It seems to prove that his coaching experience in the Schalke 04U17 youth team is useful.

So for Dortmund's adjustment, he also made adjustments.

That is to strengthen the offense. In the case of Dortmund with only three defenders, Schalke 04's offensive is more fierce. He strives to score another goal in the shortest time, then shrinks the front and starts to defend.

With a three-ball lead, how can they defend until the end of the game.

After receiving the latest instruction from the head coach, Schalke 04 players continued to attack the goal of Dortmund after the second half of the game, while using their mad dog-like rush in the midfield to maintain the advantage on the scene.

Especially for Zhou Yi, it is not just a Yang Muge. Other Schalke 04 players will also help Yang Muge defend Zhou Yi if they have the chance.

When Zhou Yi's defense was difficult to turn, Dortmund's offense naturally could not be organized.

This is a problem in Dortmund's offensive in the first half.

But the situation in the second half was a bit different from the first half.

Because Sha Xin came on.

When Zhou Yi was trapped, he didn't need to look for passing goals and paths like in the first half. Now he only needs to lock in one Sha Xin. The other side surrounded him and he passed the football to Sha Xin.

The difficulty of searching only one passing target is far worse than finding many passing targets.

So in the second half, Schalke 04 players, including Yang Muge, found that they wanted to stop Dortmund's offense, which was not as easy as the first half.

When the football was still passed to Zhou Yi, Yang Muge rushed to Zhou Yi. In addition to him, Hogel also rushed to Zhou Yi, intending to wrap up.

After Zhou Yi took the ball, he didn't pass the football right away, but adjusted it. When he adjusted, Yang Muge and Hogel forced him, of which Yang Muge pushed him close to the back, while Hogel was Waiting for the opportunity.

Zhou Yi, who was caught in the siege, passed the football, and he passed it to Sha Xin who was not far away.

Because he himself attracted two Schalke 04 players, there was not even one Schalke 04 player beside Shahin.

"Sha Xin received the ball! This ball is beautiful!" Duan Xin shouted.

Shaxin received the ball and turned to bring the football forward. Then before the other Schalke 04 players forced him, he made a long diagonal pass and sent the football to the other side of the court, falling to the top. Dortmund striker Lewandowski is at the foot.

After Lewandowski took the ball, Goetze had already advanced at a high speed, so Lewandowski passed the football to Goetze. In the end, Goetze completed a high-quality shot and the football was sanded. Erke 04's goalkeeper Hildebrand saved the bottom line and Dortmund got a corner.

After Hildebrand dropped the football to the bottom line, the television broadcast gave Shaxin a close-up shot. He regretted that Gotze didn't score a goal and was holding his head in his hands.

Marcel Leif said with emotion: "Shahin just found Lewandowski very precisely with that long pass transfer. This scene really made us seem to have returned to two years ago all at once. Wearing a Dortmund jersey, sending such long passes on the court frequently..."

Dortmund got a corner kick. When they were hit by Schalke 04, any of the frontcourt positioning **** they could get were worthy of serious attention, so Dortmund players who were good at headers squeezed into the penalty area, ready to fight top.

But Zhou Yi did not go up to join in the fun, he did not have the advantage of height or strength, and the bounce was not very good, so he ran into the penalty area, except for chaos, meaningless. So when corner kicking, if it is not his penalty, then he will wait outside the penalty area for the second goal.

This corner was handed over to Sha Xin to take the penalty. He just sent a precise long pass.

After he put his football in place, he glanced at the situation in the penalty area. It was a mess. Schalke 04 and Dortmund's players were intertwined. You have me, you have me, and it is difficult to separate them. And there is still movement in each other's hands, pulling the bear hug... This ball is kicked in front of the door, who will be snatched, he does not know.

The referee Gagelman apparently noticed this too, so he whistle to suspend the game, then ran into the penalty area and called the two most obvious players Humels and Hevedus When they came out, they gave verbal warnings to them, paying attention not to have too much physical contact.

Both of them obviously thought that it was the other party's responsibility, so they were not convinced, but it was just too obvious in front of the head referee, so they finally nodded and said they would pay attention.

But after they returned to their positions, their hands quickly got together. For such a situation, Gagelman is also used to it. If he has to prevent both players from having physical contact, then by the 90th minute, this corner kick may not be able to get out, so he can only target the penalty area. The chaotic situation is closed with one eye closed~lightnovelpub.net~ Sha Xin is standing far away from the corner area, paying attention to what happened in the restricted area. He found that after the referee suspended the game, the situation was still Without improvement, there was still chaos in the penalty area.

At this time, of course, he can still choose to kick the football to the front zone, and then blame the teammates who are in front of the goal. Let them do their best to fight for an opportunity with little hope. This is not wrong, anyway, not every corner can be scored, to allow failure.

But Shahin didn't want to do this, because for Dortmund, every corner kick is a valuable scoring opportunity. Why does coach Klopp repeatedly tell himself to be in the second half during the intermission? How to kick?

Not because if the team loses this game, it is likely to lose the league title. So this victory in the Ruhr Derby is crucial.

He hopes to help the team seize every opportunity to score.

It was a pity that Goetze didn't score a goal just now. He was very clear that the chance of passing football without defensive pressure as before would be less and less in the next game.

To seize every opportunity, never be perfunctory!

Thinking of this, he turned his attention outside the restricted area, where there were fewer people. Most of the players on both sides were concentrated in the restricted area, which made the outside of the restricted area look like a suburb of a prosperous city.

Zhou Yi was there and was looking at Sha Xin.

The eyes of the two met in the air, and suddenly a kind of tacit understanding appeared at the same time in their hearts. (To be continued) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point, and your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please read. )
