Chapter 25 Deadlock

Seeing Egman's gesture, Chekareli did not choose to open his big foot, but kicked the ball to Ivanovic. Ivanovic got rid of Götze who came forward to harass him, and then swung his right leg, sent a long pass, and passed the ball to Egman.

Egman turned his back to the goal, resisted Hummels behind him, opened his hands again, blocked Pishcek, who wanted to get around in front of him to grab the ball, took the opportunity to stop Ivanovic's long pass with his chest, and then turned around and volleyed in the air. The ball roared past Hummels' cheek and flew to the goal. Weiden Feller learned a lesson and concentrated all his attention when Egman received the ball. When Egman shot, he began to move and then made a save. He pulled the ball out of the crossbar with his fingertips when the ball was about to fly into the upper left corner of the goal.

Duan Xuan shouted, "Egman received a long pass from Ivanovic. After the chest stopped the ball, he turned around and volleyed in the air. The quality of the ball was very high, but the goalkeeper of the Dortmund team, Weiden Ferrer, made an incredible save. He moved ahead of time, and then took off in the air and used his fingers. The ball pulled out the crossbar.

"This goal reflects a world-class level. Egman's chest stop and turn and volley show his solid skills, and Weidenfeller's save also shows a world-class level. He also saved Dortmund. If Egman scored another goal, Dortmund They will fall behind by two goals, and their situation will be very dangerous. And now, they are only one goal behind and have the possibility to catch up.

The performance of the two teams in the stands was completely different. The Gosho fans had been clenching their hands to cheer for Egman, but after Weiden Ferrer saved the shot, their hands immediately loosened and let out a long sigh together. The fans of Dortmund watched nervously fly in the air. After seeing Weidenfeller's successful save, they gasped together, and then collectively let out a huge cheer.

Klopp's look was very grim. Although Weiden Ferrer turned away from Egman's shot, he also saw that under the defense of the two players, Hummels and Pišcek, Egman could still threaten the door of the Dortmund team with his personal ability, which made him feel very bad. Wei Dengfei Le can make such a wonderful save this time, but what about next time? Do you have to rely on Weidenfeller every time?

Klopp scratched his head, but he doesn't have a good way now. Hummels is already the best central defender in his hand. Subotic's defense against Egman may not be better, and it will frustrate Hummels' confidence. If another person is added to defend Egman, there will be a lot of other places. And the other frontcourt players of the Gosho team are not vegetarian, and it is impossible to completely empty them.

After thinking about it, Klopp didn't come up with any good idea. He had to bet on Weiden Feller's state and Dortmund's luck. However, he did not completely ignore the situation on the field. He asked the Borussia Dortmund sideline players to strengthen their defense and limit the side cross from Gosho, so as to reduce the cannonballs to Egman.

Gosho's left-back Ribeiro walked to the corner flag and took the corner kick. The corner kick he made was very good. Egman grabbed the landing point again. He made a big header and rushed to the top, and the ball went straight to the lower right corner. Weiden Ferrer did not have time to make a save this time. Fortunately, Egman Under the full interference of Hummels, the header was not accurate, and the ball brushed the goal post out of the bottom line.

Egman's two consecutive threatening shots not only shocked the Dortmund fans in a cold sweat, but also suppressed the momentum of the Dortmund team. Shahin and Gündogan no longer dared to participate in the attack at the same time. In any case, they will have one person left in the backcourt.

After several losses, Hummels and Pishchek also learned to be obedient. They no longer stood behind Egman, but did a division of labor. Hummels stood behind Egman alone and resisted him, limiting Egman's space of movement, while Pishchek ran to Egman. Intercepted Gosho's pass to Egman.

This move is still very effective. No matter how strong Egman is, it is difficult for him to play without a ball under his feet, and Dortmund has strengthened its defense on the sidelines to minimize Gosho's cross to Egman on the sidelines. In this way, Egman's role is effectively weakened.

Although the Dortmund team temporarily limited Egman, Lin Fenglei was not worried. First, Dortmund's tactics actually weakened their own offensive firepower; second, this tactic consumes a lot of physical energy, so it is impossible to last. Third, they focus too much defensive attention on On Egman, the defense of other offensive players of Gosho will definitely be relaxed. Lin Fenglei believes that their tactics will be broken in the second half.

After seeing that Dortmund had changed his defensive strategy, Egman was not in a hurry. He began to do running and passing, pulling Borussia Dortmund's defensive formation and creating offensive opportunities for his teammates.

After several strong interceptions, Avanzini and Hollensten also changed their offensive strategy. They either cut inside or made a 45-degree pass before the bottom; Esposito also got two consecutive shooting opportunities during the period when Egman was focused on, but today's Weidenfei Le is really in good condition. Both of his shots were rejected by Weiden Feller.

There are continuous dangers in front of the Dortmund team, which also makes their players dare not boldly suppress them in the attack. The result of a thunderbolt in the center of the attack is that their offensive is always small. After attacking the front court of the Gosho team, they always die because of the lack of troops invested, either being broken or just grass. He shot at the goal with a shot.

This situation makes Klopp very helpless. Although they have scored a lot of goals in the Bundesliga, it depends on the smooth cooperation in the front court. Dortmund's biggest problem in the front court is the lack of a person like Egman who can change the result of the game on his own. Therefore, in today's situation, they will It seems to be offensive. And if he invests a lot of troops in the front court now, he is worried that the defense will lose the ball again, which is really a dilemma.

Klopp looked up at the large display screen above the court. The game time had reached the 38th minute of the first half. He decided to let all the players simply withdraw their defense. The score in the first half was not difficult to accept. He waited until the second half to seek to equalize the score. Right.

After seeing Klopp's gesture, the Dortmund players were relieved that they finally didn't have to worry about whether it was offense or defense. Except for the striker Sibel, who stayed in the half of Gosau to contain Gosho's strength, other Borussia Dortmund players have returned to their own half.

The Gosho team took advantage of the situation to attack. Except for the two central defenders Salihovic and Chevali, most of the other players passed the half-time. However, in the face of Dortmund's barrel array, the Gosho team did not seem to have much. The dense thighs in the penalty area of Dortmund made it difficult for the Gosho team to pass the ball in. Outside Most of the long-range shots were also blocked.

However, the Gosho team was not in a hurry. Seeing that there was little time left in the first half, they simply played the ball control tactic and consumed the first half. Anyway, it is the Gosho team that is in the lead now.

The time of the first half of the game quickly reached 45 minutes. The referee Brue signaled two minutes of stoppage time. When the two minutes of stoppage time was over, he blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game.

The Gosho team returned to the locker room with a score of 1-0. Lin Fenglei was also satisfied with the score. He followed the players with a relaxed face and walked back to the locker room.

And Klopp was not so relaxed. As soon as the first half of the game was over, he returned to the visiting team's locker room with a grim look.
