Chapter 163

On February 2th, at 11:45 pm, the quarter-final of the German Cup, Bochum played against Dortmund at home. In Germany, this game also attracted a lot of attention, because both sides of the game are currently the top teams in the Bundesliga. The strength is not much different, and it will definitely be a wonderful game.

"Rongrong, who do you think will win this match?"

The match between Bochum and Dortmund was also a rare moment when Lu Xueming and his daughter could watch the football together.

"Of course it's Dortmund!"

"But last time Dortmund just lost to Bochum." Lu Xueming joked.

"In that game, Shen Peng performed exceptionally alone." Delia was not convinced.

"Speaking of Shen Peng, he also came that day, what do you think of him?" Lu Xueming laughed again.

"It's okay." Delia couldn't help but feel a little drooling when she thought of Shen Peng's visit that day.

"How about it, Dad has a good vision, and based on my vision of seeing people over the years, this kid is really good!" Lu Xueming continued to say in a seductive tone.

"Dad, I have something to ask you." Delia suddenly looked at Lu Xueming.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xueming was taken aback.

"If other people's daughters find boyfriends, their fathers are usually very reluctant. Why do you push me away? Are you afraid that I won't be able to marry in the future?"

Lu Xueming: "..."

Fortunately, the starting lineups of the two sides have already started to be introduced on TV at this time, Lu Xueming hurriedly said: "Watch the game, watch the game!"

In this game, Dortmund's four-man midfielder is forward Lewandowski, winger Gross Kreutz and Aubameyang, central midfielder Mkhitaryan, last time against Bochum, who performed poorly. Kuba and Royce sat on the bench.

The defenders haven't changed much. Thrall and Friedrich still started because they had the experience of defending Shen Peng.

On Bochum's side, the formation is still the same as before, but personnel adjustments have been made in many positions.

After the game started, it was the same as the last time the two teams played against each other. The two sides came to all kinds of fast attacks without any intention of probing.

After a few threatening shots from both sides, in the No.13 minute, Shen Peng scored the first goal.

After swerving past a defender, he fired a concealed grounder from the penalty area line, and the ball rolled into the goal before the Dortmund keeper had time to make a save.

No.20 In the second minute, Dortmund fought back. Mkhitaryan dribbled the ball in the middle to make a breakthrough. After attracting two defenders from Bochum, he sent the ball to the side.

No.307 minutes, Dortmund opened up Bochum's defense by running, and then Lewandowski received a pass from Gros Kreutz and scored in front of the goal!

In the stoppage time of the first half, Shen Peng encountered three opponents outside the penalty area. However, this time he did not intend to break through at all. He directly passed the ball diagonally to the rear and passed it to Grizka who found a gap next to him.

At the end of the first half, the two sides even drew 47-[-], and the situation on the court was evenly divided. The statistics of both sides were similar, such as ball possession rate, Bochum's [-]% was only slightly worse than Dortmund's!

While the neutral fans were hooked, the head coaches on both sides became nervous, because in this kind of close match, it was not known which side would win until the last moment, which was the biggest test for the head coach on the spot and the players' performance.

During the intermission, the head coaches of both sides began to analyze various situations in the first half to adjust the team's tactics.

In this regard, Klopp is obviously better than Neuluerer, so at the beginning of the second half, Dortmund obviously suppressed Bochum on the scene. Dortmund played more and more smoothly, while Bochum became more and more congested.

In 4 minutes, this advantage turned into a goal. When Dortmund passed the ball in the frontcourt, Bochum's defensive players were exhausted and showed a big flaw. Dortmund caught it. Mkhitaryan made a precise through ball to find Gross Kreutz who was plugged in from the wing.

However, Shen Peng did not get any effective support during these 10 minutes.

"Jurgen, it looks like your tactics are working," Bouvac said next to Klopp.

"Now Bochum's midfield can no longer cope with our offensive. In this case, Shen Peng will not get support from the midfield. He has no ball in the frontcourt alone, and he has no big effect." Klopp smiled. Now Dortmund's offensive ability in the midfield has completely suppressed Bochum.

As the game progressed, Shen Peng could not get the support of his teammates, so he had to retreat frequently to get the ball, but once he retreated, he would encounter more defenses from Dortmund players: at the forward position, if he got the ball, he might only need to face a few defenders, but when he got the ball in the midfield, he would have to face the opposing midfielder.

This makes it difficult for Shen Peng to bring the ball to the opponent's penalty area and form an effective offense in the face of layers of defense after taking the ball.

Seeing this scene, Neuluerer had no good solution. In the final analysis, the overall strength of other players in Bochum was not as good as Dortmund, so they seemed a little passive.

Now he can only hope that the players can perform beyond their normal performance.

No.601 minutes, when Bochum was trying to attack, the pass was blocked by Dortmund's midfielder Shaheen. He immediately distributed the ball to Aubameyang who ran out of space next to him.

Of course, this is not effective for a team that shrinks its defense, but it is suitable for Bochum now. Bochum can't help but attack them, and Bochum's defensive players are not very capable. In many cases, Aubameyang can easily break through opponents just by relying on speed.

This time was no exception. After he received the ball, he started it, and his legs started to move forward at full speed like a windmill spinning at high speed!

According to the previous rules, this time he advances with the ball, he will inevitably cause a stir in Bochum's defense, and the fans in the audience will also boo him.

However, in his opinion, booing is the greatest compliment to him, because it means that he is now a threat to the opponent's goal.

However, this time, instead of booing, the fans in the audience burst into cheers.
