Chapter 217 Offense and Defense
Juventus adopted a 4-4-2 formation in this game. The midfielder adopted a single midfielder position with three midfielders: goalkeeper Buffon; central defenders Chiellini and Bonucci, left back Evra, right back Lichtsteiner; the midfielder position is Marchisio, Pirlo and Pogba, the front midfielder is Vidal; the forwards are Morata and Tevez.
On the Dortmund side, the most commonly used 4-2-3-1 formation in the league is followed, and Shen Peng is still the single striker. Klopp did not take any risks. After all, the previous attempts to improve the formation were not very successful.
On the offensive line, left midfielder Royce, right midfielder Aubameyang, and central midfielder Mkhitaryan; on the defensive line, double midfielders Gundogan and Shaheen, and the defenders are Piszczek, Papastathopoulos, Hummels and Schmelzer; goalkeeper Weidenfeller.
In this game, Klopp did not let Mbappe play for safety. Although Mbappe and Shen Peng cooperated better, he still didn't think he could penetrate Juventus' defense, so he sent a more stable Royce. After all, in the away game, as long as you don't lose.
Judging from the lineup alone, Dortmund lost more than half of the losses here, let alone Juventus' defense line, which is almost the defense line of the Italian national team, which can be called the best defense line in the world.
On the offensive line, Vidal is a player with fast speed, excellent jumping and excellent defensive awareness. He also has a strong assist ability and good shooting skills. It is said that Bayern Munich is pursuing this player.
Morata has outstanding header skills, excellent sense of grabbing points, fast dribbling and running sprint speed, and exists like a tower in the penalty area.
Carlos Tevez is from Argentina. Like most South American players, he has excellent footwork ability, very much like Maradona back then. When handling the ball in the frontcourt, he is hard to guard against.
Even in the face of such a strong lineup, Dortmund's players are like newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and they have no timidity.
After the game started, Dortmund immediately launched an offensive against Juventus' goal.
First of all, starting from the right, the ball quickly fell to Aubameyang's feet, and Aubameyang immediately took advantage of his speed and dribbled all the way forward.
When he went into midfield, it was Pogba.
Pogba joined Juventus in 2012, won the European Golden Boy Award in 2013, and joined the French national team. His strength should not be underestimated.
Aubameyang did not have a head-on confrontation with Pogba, but before that, he divided the ball and passed it to Mkhitaryan in the middle.
There are many people in the middle, and Mkhitaryan also directly passed the ball to Shen Peng in front.
After Shen Peng took the ball, just as he was about to dribble, he found a figure following him. He took a closer look and found that this person had long flowing curly hair and his eyes seemed to be awake.He is Juventus' midfielder Pirlo.
According to the pre-match information, Shen Peng also knows how powerful this midfield master is. He is called Da Vinci on the football field. He is proficient in organizing, scoring, and positioning. Although some fans criticized his playing style as soft and not suitable for midfielders, his defensive technical progress is obvious to all. In addition, what is more important is that he is firm and has excellent leadership qualities.
A lot of information flashed through Shen Peng's mind in an instant. With his current level, it is not difficult to break through Pirlo, but once he does so, he will definitely lose the ball, because there are several players behind Pirlo who are staring at this side.
So he entangled with Pirlo for less than two seconds, and immediately passed the ball back-he really had no chance.
The ball fell back to Mkhitaryan's feet. He also knew that it was difficult to break through the front, so he moved his feet and the ball flew to the feet of Royce on the left. Of course, Royce took a few steps forward and felt as if he was stuck in mud. In desperation, he passed the ball back to the full-back Schmelzer.
In this way, the ball spun under the feet of the Dortmund players for nearly a minute, from right to left, from front to back, and there was no chance of attacking.
In the end, the ball fell to Vidal when Gundogan attempted a long pass to Aubameyang.
Vidal got the ball and started to attack forward. At the same time, Morata also immediately ran into Dortmund's penalty area. Of course, Hummels kept a close eye on this.
When Vidal came to Dortmund's half-time, and then pretended to break through, he suddenly passed the ball back to Pirlo, and then he himself penetrated Dortmund like a flexible loach.
At this time, Pirlo kicked suddenly, and the ball drew a strange arc in the air, knowing the Dortmund penalty area, as if he had eyes, and found Morata!
Morata also ran towards the ball's landing point. At the same time, Hummels also ran towards the ball. The two jumped almost at the same time in the entanglement!
Then with a bang, the ball flew out of the baseline, and the referee signaled for a corner kick. It turned out that Hummels pushed the ball out of the baseline.
Klopp was relieved when he saw this. If Juventus scored from the beginning, this game would not be easy to play. Fortunately, Hummels has rich defensive experience and he is tall enough, otherwise the goal would be really hard to say.
At the same time, he also quickly signaled to the players not to lose the ball easily. Although Juventus is a team that focuses on defense, their offense is not weak at all. If you underestimate their attack power because of their defense, you will suffer a big loss.
Juventus's corner kick had no effect when Dortmund was fully defended. In the end, Weidenfeller punched the ball into the midfield and fell to Shaheen's feet.
Originally, the corner kick was their chance to counterattack, but when he was about to pass the ball to Aubameyang or Shen Peng, he found that a Juventus player was next to them. If he passed the ball rashly, he might lose the ball again.
After Juventus served the corner kick, while retreating to defend, they also ensured that their defense was in order!
He is not an offensive player himself, he has his own position to defend, coupled with his own ability, so it is impossible for him to take the ball forward by himself.
When he finally found a teammate who could pass the ball, the Juventus players were already in position, and Dortmund had no chance to counterattack.
After experiencing the attack and defense just now, Dortmund's players had to calm down, and slowly turned their feet, waiting for Juventus' defense to show flaws; and Juventus, like a patient hunter, quietly waited for the opportunity.
