Perhaps because of the harassment and influence of pre-match transfer rumors, West Stadium, which has always been known for its fanatical atmosphere, gave people a feeling of grievance. Especially in the stands at Dortmund Stadium, many fans even played slogans of anger at Gotze and the insults made by many fans, such as Traitors, Judas and Rats.

Ye Qiu doesn’t know why it is a mouse, but it is definitely not a good word.

Although according to regulations, if Gotze wants to pay the termination fee, he must notify Dortmund before April 30, before facing a powerful opponent like Tottenham Hotspur, Gotze and his agent used the termination fee clause, which will also have a huge blow to Dortmund.

On the contrary, although Tottenham Hotspur had the issue of renewal of Pirlo and Cavani, Ye Qiu's prestige was too great and quickly suppressed Cavani. The team also announced that it had officially started contract renewal negotiations with Pirlo, which was obviously a powerful proof of the team's efficient operation and also activated the team's morale.

The morning before this game at West Stadium, when Tottenham Hotspur held a press conference, Ye Qiu announced the starting list of the game. The goalkeeper was Cech, the defense was Kyle Walker, Thiago Silva, Kompany and Marcelo, the midfield was Pogba, Pirlo and Vidal, Ramsey was absent due to injury, and the frontcourt Trident kept the combination of Ribery, Cavani and Messi.

One of the very important reasons why Ye Qiu dared to announce the starting lineup in advance and did not make any adjustments before the game is that he had already figured out how to play against Dortmund, and the Hornets also knew very well how to play.

To put it bluntly, Klopp only has that lineup and that set of tactics that can deal with Tottenham Hotspur.

Ye Qiu continued his style of playing against Dortmund in the group stage, and also continued the tactics of Real Madrid in the quarterfinals knockout stage, continuing to keep the team's three lines compact, concentrating forces on the competition and oppression in the central circle, leaving no more space behind for the opponent to use, and at the same time, he used his skillful shot to mobilize the opponent's running.

Dortmund launched a fierce press against Tottenham Hotspur from the beginning, and Klopp's tactics were also clear, that is, to suppress Tottenham Hotspur from the beginning, but Dortmund's defense was still very cautious, especially once Tottenham Hotspur held the ball, their players immediately retreated to the 30-meter area in the shortest time.

Tottenham's offensive intention to move forward does not seem very strong, and there is no active attacking tactics like the past after the opening, so the game started a bit dull. Dortmund used his home court to insist on oppressive play, and their active running made them more possession rate than Tottenham Hotspur in the first twenty minutes of the first half.

When Ye Qiu saw the data handed over by Rolander Shepars, he was really funny because the ball possession rate of both sides is 50. and 49. Although the difference is small, the problem is that Dortmund's ball possession rate is actually more than Tottenham Hotspur, which is simply incredible.

"This group of stinky brats must be doing nothing, yell at me." Ye Qiu handed over this great and arduous task to Rolander Shepas. Fatty Ro rushed to the sidelines with a sad face and shouted a few loudly.

In fact, during the period after the opening, Tottenham Hotspur's defense was quite good. Although Dortmund had three chances to shoot, he did not shoot at Tottenham Hotspur's goal once. From this point, it can be seen that although Dortmund has a little advantage in possession, he still failed to create a threat well.

The strategy of Tottenham Hotspur in this game is actually very simple. I will use compact formation and ball control to slide you, so that you can press it out and fight, and then I will hit you against you, and even if you can't fight back, I can still use ball control to achieve the goal of tired enemies. When your physical fitness drops, I will play slowly with you.

In fact, Dortmund likes to meet ball-controlled teams with high-level defense, such as Bayern Munich. The encounter between two domestic teams in the Bundesliga often creates a hot atmosphere. What is strange is that Bayern Munich always loses to Dortmund. The reason is very simple. Dortmund's style of playing is to restrain this high-level defense and leave a large gap behind the team.

So in this game, Ye Qiu gave up high-level defense, but insisted on ball control tactics, and arranged more of the main battlefield between the two sides to the center line, allowing Dortmund to come up to fight the position, and there are not many loopholes behind him, and he can play his ball control advantage.

As for Dortmund's possession rate in the first twenty minutes, Dortmund had a slight advantage, which is not surprising, because Dortmund is now physically and vigorous, and they are eager to suppress Tottenham Hotspur at the beginning, so Tottenham Hotspur was forced a little tight after the opening, which is also a very normal ball possession time.

However, Tottenham did not blindly adopt the defensive, but always controlled the rhythm to a rhythm that Dortmund was not used to. When they got the ball, Tottenham consciously accelerated the rhythm, allowing Dortmund to play more offensive position battles, and then pinched Lewandowski and Gotze to freeze Dortmund's defense.

When Dortmund lost the ball, Tottenham slowed down the ball's passing rate and used a skillful and quick touch to encourage Dortmund players to run more off-ball runs to grab the ball.

This different rhythm change caused Tottenham Hotspur's possession rate to be low when Dortmund was in good physical condition. Dortmund was also consciously trying to use his own running to disrupt Tottenham Hotspur's rhythm and thus establish his own game rhythm.

Therefore, in the first half hour of the game, although the pace of the ball rights between each other was relatively fast and the atmosphere was tense and intense, neither side could create a good scoring opportunity or threat.

Despite this, it is interesting that the head coaches of both sides did not make overall changes in the overall situation. At best, they made local adjustments and targeted arrangements in some details, but there was no change in the overall situation.

In fact, for both sides, this game is both clear and sharp, and they are familiar with each other. After all, they have played two games in the group stage, so the key to this game depends on the strength of the two teams.

If Dortmund can seize one of the few effective offensive opportunities, perhaps the situation of the game will be rewritten. Conversely, Tottenham Hotspur will have more opportunities, after all, they are stronger and better, so the test is whether Tottenham Hotspur can create opportunities under the pressure of Dortmund.

You should know that Dortmund's oppression will generally weaken with physical energy consumption, so before the game, many professional analysts said that it is basically difficult to create surprises at the beginning of this game. The real test will be in the second half, that is, after Dortmund's physical energy consumes a certain level, it will be improved.

The situation in the first half also seemed to continue the speculation from the outside world. Tottenham Hotspur implemented the team's pre-match plan in an orderly manner, while Dortmund lost control of the rhythm and put pressure on Tottenham Hotspur with active running and oppression. Nothing changed much.

But just when everyone thought the first half would end, Dortmund made an offensive and entered the 30-meter area of ​​Tottenham Hotspur. Schmelzer stepped forward and received the ball and passed it. Tottenham Hotspur returned to defend to the penalty area. Cavani, who pushed the ball out of the penalty area in the middle of the way.

After Pirlo stopped the ball outside the penalty area, he was quickly harassed by Sven Bend, but the Italian midfielder quickly stabilized the ball. Dortmund invested troops in the frontcourt to press Pirlo. Lewandowski, Gotze and others all invested in counter-robbery as soon as possible, but their backcourt was quickly retreating.

Pirlo, Cech, Marcelo, Kompani, Cech, Kyle Walker, Tottenham Hotspur's balls were passed back and forth between these players. Although Dortmund invested the pressing of four players in the frontcourt, he failed to intercept the ball. Instead, he slowed down the pressing and wanted to retreat after a series of pressings.

But Tottenham Hotspur was faster. Pirlo made a straight pass directly to Pogba near the center line. The latter turned around and drove the ball forward, and quickly pressed Dortmund's 30-meter area. This was comparing the speed with Dortmund's frontcourt. Pogba passed the left side in front of the 30-meter area with a diagonal pass and passed it to Ribery.

Ribery took the ball from the left and faced Pisczek. He suddenly accelerated and rushed out of a gap from Pisczek's left side. He passed the ball with an oblique pass on his left foot and hung the ball into the back point on the right side of the penalty area. He wanted to find Messi.

Messi hooked the ball and removed it very lightly, facing Schmelzer who returned to defend in time.

Just when he saw the Argentine striding around the ball, Schmelze bent over, as if facing a big enemy, he did not dare to relax at all. He stared at Messi, for fear that an Argentine would break through the penalty area from his position. You know, this is in the penalty area.

The Dortmund players behind Schmelze are also very cautious. The two midfielders Sven Bend and Gundogan have returned to the penalty area and assisted in the defense in a timely manner. They also actively retreated to the 30-meter area.

Just when Gundogan was afraid that Schmelzer could not defend Messi and rushed over to attack, Messi led back and passed a curved ball with his left foot to find Cavani in the middle, but at this time Hummels and Subotic stuck their positions very steadily. Subotic headed the ball to clear the ball, and Cavani in the middle of the penalty area was powerless.

But the ball did not run far. Vidal inserted it from behind and stopped the ball with his chest. Without waiting for Goze to approach, he divided the ball to the right and gave it to Kyle or Walker. The latter dribbled the ball and rushed forward quickly. When he rushed to the right side of the penalty area, he passed it to Messi again.

Hummels was in front of the Argentine, but while Messi stopped the ball, he rushed towards the bottom line quickly, forcing Hummels to follow him to rush to the bottom line to defend Messi. However, Messi's short-range sprint started faster and quickly pulled out an open position, passing a cross from the front of the small penalty area in front of the baseline.

I saw Cavani, who was blocked by Hummels, rushed up at this time. He had almost no hesitation. He pushed the ball with a kick. The ball easily pushed the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.

This goal made the entire West Stadium silent. Even the group of fans in the stands who had been yelling Gotze after the opening became silent at this time because they all knew very well what the price of being scored by Tottenham Hotspurs, and they all knew how difficult it would be to equalize again after being scored.

Tottenham Hotspur players celebrated on the court and rushed to the gathering place of Tottenham Hotspur fans.

In the stands, the colors between the yellow Hornets and the white Tottenham Hotspurs were clearly divided. You can see that Tottenham Hotspur fans stood up from their seats in a uniform manner, shouting loudly about the name of the goalkeeper Cavani. Many fans were also shouting about Messi, because the most contribution to this goal was Messi.

Relatively speaking, Cavani's shot was too easy, and it was the kind of person who was countless times more difficult than scoring. Anyone who was a shooter should score, so the real goal contributor is Messi.

And this goal, which happened in the 34th minute, was like a bomb that completely detonated the game.

When Dortmund conceded the ball first at home, the Hornets began to launch a crazy attack and oppression against Tottenham Hotspur, hoping to equalize the score in the shortest time and bring both sides back to the same starting line.

But the price paid by Dortmund's pressing and oppression is that the defense line behind him becomes loose and fragile.

In the 42nd minute, after Tottenham Hotspur intercepted the ball, Thiago Silva made a long pass with a diagonal pass and sent the ball to the right side of Dortmund. He saw Ribery rushing forward quickly. Facing Pisczek, he calmly stopped the ball from the left side of the Dortmund penalty area.

Although Dortmund had already returned to the defense at this time, especially the two central defenders, who had already reached the penalty area, Ribe was against Piszczek, and one of them dribbled the ball and cut inward, leaving Piszczek behind him and cut into the arc area of ​​the penalty area. With Subotic robbed, he shot directly with his right foot.

After the ball drew an arc, it fell into Dortmund's goal, the upper right corner, which was the goalkeeper's corner

0

"Bortmond attacked too far, and they pressed too much in the midfield and frontcourt, causing a disconnect between the midfield and frontcourt and the backcourt. Tottenham's long diagonal pass hit this point. Ribery received the ball one-on-one and the ball went in."

"The personal scoring ability is excellent. In addition to the most terrifying overall tactics, the personal ability of their stars is also one level higher than that of Dortmund, which also makes Tottenham very capable, both in team battles and one-on-one."

The live footage was given to the sidelines, and Ye Qiu, who was excited about the team's goal, was doing boxer action at Fatty Luo on the sidelines. This immediately made him booed by the Hornet fans in the stands, while Dortmund's head coach Klopp turned his head and pretended not to see it.

"Before the game, Klopp said, we, Dortmund, just like to lose teams that are richer than us and better than us, because we are a group of boxers."

The live broadcast commentator laughed and introduced the allusion of Ye Qiu's celebration move, "Now, Tottenham Hotspur leads two goals, Ye Qiu seems to be sure to win, so he uses the boxer's celebration move to fight back against Klopp. Which of us is more like a boxer?"

"The attack can be attacked, the defense can be defended, and the ball can be played with delicate control, but there is also strong impact and strength to fight. Tottenham Hotspur is indeed the most comprehensive team in football today, especially their midfielder this season."

"Perhaps, the only deficit that has been criticized is Pirlo. The Italian midfielder plays a single midfielder and the protection of the defense is indeed a little weaker, but Ye Qiu also said in an interview that I don't think this is a disadvantage, because no one has the ability to attack our shortcomings."

"He also joked that it was like you saw a beautiful woman on the street. You know he was a beautiful woman, but she didn't belong to you, and you could only stare and drool on the side. Can you still do it?"

"It's indeed very domineering, but Tottenham's strength is also very outstanding, which well confirms Ye Qiu's remarks."

With Tottenham Hotspur scoring the second goal, Dortmund also began to lose control. The Hornets' players obviously had a complex and contradictory mood. They wanted to attack and equalize the score, but were afraid of conceding the ball. If they retreated and stabilized the defense, they felt unwilling to give up.

It has to be admitted that Klopp is indeed very good in emphasizing and training the players' spiritual will, which makes Dortmund's desire to win very strongly. Even if he has lost two goals in a row, the team still plays tenaciously, but a little messy.

Klopp's biggest problem is precisely that his excessive strength lacks a delicate and gentle change.

This is also the biggest criticism of Klopp from the outside world. His offensive routine is too thin, especially when fighting positional battles. He lacks effective offensive methods and relies too much on the two frontcourt offensive points, Lewandowski and Gotze. Although Reus is important, Lewandowski and Gotze are even more important, especially Lewandowski.

This player is a good tactical fulcrum for the frontcourt, but more importantly, he runs very actively, covers a wide area, has excellent team cooperation awareness, and his feet are also very good. His ability to fight alone and team collaborative combat is excellent. This is why Ye Qiu is so optimistic about this player.

After all, this 24-year-old center player, as long as he is properly trained, he will definitely become the world's top center.

For Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt, losing Cavani and introducing Lewandowski is also a very good choice.
