Vol 5 Chapter 203: Changing handsome is like changing a knife

Hamburg is obviously well-prepared, at least their new head coach Sloemka really did work to study Dortmund's last two games.
So in the face of Dortmund's offensive, Hamburg's defense is very stable, and did not leave Dortmund with any chance.
Dortmund's ball control rate reached 70%, but the scene was very dull. They did not convert this 70% ball control rate into a goal.
Dortmund tried hard, but Hamburg's defensive organization was very strict and did not leave Dortmund much chance.
In many cases, players like Yan Min who are good at breakthroughs have no room for breakthroughs. After taking the ball on the sideline, he will either directly pass the ball or just return the football to his teammates, and then fall back to find opportunities .
Even if there are some shooting opportunities, it is often difficult to threaten Hamburg's goal, either hit high or miss, or be embraced by Hamburg goalkeeper Adler.
For example, in the twenty-ninth minute, Schmelzer made a cross from the left. When Mark made a shot in the middle, Rajkovic pressed the ball and hit the ball high.
Soon afterwards, when Hamburg stabilized the defense, they gradually began to exert their offensive force-after all, it is their own home, of course, relegation can not be satisfied with a 0:0 draw.
Iracek once again made a threat.
He got into the penalty area after receiving a straight pass from his teammate Alslan, and then beautifully dunked Piszick and took a shot.
Fortunately, Weidenfeller responded in time, holding the football in his arms.
"Irasek! This is his second shot in the game, more threatening than the last time! Although Dortmund's offensive was more fierce before, but if there is a degree of threat, it is still more threatening in Hamburg. ..."
Not long afterwards, Hamburger Badelli shot a low shot with a right foot at 22 meters from the centre and the ball was again caught by Weidenfeller.
Two minutes later Dortmund tried to launch a counterattack, but Mark fell to the ground under the batting of Badeli and Rajkovic, and the referee did not walk out any penalty.
Mark lay on the ground for a while before getting up, and the Intime Arena in Hamburg rang with a boo, ridiculing Mark for falling.
However, the slow motion shows that Rajkovic did push the man again. The player did not fall hard enough, nor could it explain that the opponent did not foul.
Klopp was also very dissatisfied with this, but he just snarled and shut up. He didn't want to be fined for the stand...

In addition to Hamburg's counterattack, the overall situation in the first half was relatively dull. The two sides did not have a particularly good chance, and they were not able to play surprising cooperation and shots.
In the first two rounds of the league, Dortmund almost locked the victory in the first half, but this time he did not take the burger.
Zhou Yi, as the core of the team, is also strictly restricted by Hamburg. No matter where he appears, the players of Hamburg will appear at the first time to force his passing line and the space for taking the ball.
In this way, I saw that the first half was over, and the score was still 0:0.
Just when everyone thought that the first half would end with this score, there was a sudden change on the field!
In the 42nd minute, Hamburg launched a high-quality offense. Westerman passed the football to the goal on the right. After the football fell to the front point, La Soga in Friedrich and Schmelzer’s The ball was received under the impact of the pinch, and then he passed again near the bottom line.
Iracek, who has been active since the start of the game, jumped high at the back point and pressed against Obameyan who returned to the front defense and headed the ball!
Weidenfeller failed to save his team this time... Football flew into the goal!
"Irasek! He finally scored! He broke the deadlock for the Hamburg team!"
The Intime Arena thunderous.
"The Hamburg team is really like changing a coach! After changing a new coach, the whole team's mental outlook is completely new!" Duan Xin also had to praise Hamburg's performance. "They restricted Dortmund's offense very well in the first half and at the same time did their offense well... Sloemka is indeed a level head coach, especially in terms of relegation..."
※※※
The players in Hamburg celebrated the goal with cheers, while the Dortmund players looked a bit frustrated.
They came to Intime Arena with strong confidence, hoping to take away three points. Unexpectedly, it was very painful to play in the first half, and the game was not in the rhythm they were familiar with.
Now it is even more ahead of Hamburg.
Looking at Hamburg's defensive performance in the first half, Hamburg after the lead is definitely harder to play...
Not long after Irasek had just scored a goal, the first half of the game ended.
Hamburg enters the locker room with a one-ball lead. This is still the home game, and they will have a greater psychological advantage. Hamburg's performance in the first half was indeed very good. When the whistle sounded, the fans of the Intime Arena stood up and applauded the team's performance.
Marcel Leif also raved about Hamburg's performance: "After taking office, Slomka did bring a lot of new things to Hamburg, and the team's atmosphere has also improved. Hamburg's performance and The first seven consecutive losing games are completely different. If you continue with this momentum, it is really possible for Hamburg to end the seven-game losing streak in this game... And Dortmund is really unlucky, and even encountered such a burger at a critical moment... I see Klopp’s hopes for this season’s championship may be ruined by this game. And the impact may not be limited to the league..."
Marcel Leif is not alarmist, but the conclusion after analysis.
If Dortmund is doing his best and he can’t win the game in Hamburg, it will definitely give Dortmund a heavy blow and shake their confidence. The impact will not only be limited to this game, but will also affect the next game. Champions League game. At that time, Dortmund will usher in the two-line defeat of the league and the Champions League in three days...
Klopp himself knew the seriousness of the situation, so he made a very bold adjustment during the intermission.
He replaced Mven Talyan with Sven Bender.
Sven Bender is the only midfielder in Dortmund's game-after Yan Min performed well and occupied the main position, Klopp adjusted Dortmund's starting lineup from the original 4231 to Now in 442, Aubameyang and Mark are playing as forwards. Four midfielders stand in parallel. Two midfielders Sven Bend is responsible for defense and Zhou Yi is responsible for organizing the offense.
And now he replaced Sven Bender with Mkhitaryan. Mkhitaryan is definitely not a defensive midfielder, he is good at offense.
Is it possible for Zhou Yi to defend?
Of course not.
Klopp made a crazy offensive request to his team, increased the speed, and forced the game into the rhythm that Dortmund is good at.
Only in this way can burgers be defeated away.
This adjustment means that Dortmund will have no so-called midfield defense, and now that Hamburg is in high morale, it is easy to penetrate Dortmund's midfield and face Dortmund's defender line directly.
This is very, very risky. A little carelessness will make Dortmund lose even worse.
In addition to this method, there may be some milder methods. But with Klopp's character, he is more willing to choose this extremely risky plan. Although the risk is high, it is possible to reap greater rewards.
Klopp is a gambler. Gamblers are unreasonable.
In addition to letting Mkhitaryan play in place of Sven Bender, he wants to encourage Yan Min, Royce and Obameyando to add some personal breakthroughs. Don't be afraid of mistakes, take that step.
At the same time, in order to avoid personal breakthroughs and counterattacks after being intercepted by the opponent, he also asked Piszick and Schmelzer to have two full-backs to lean forward. .com~ On the other hand, it is to grab the first time after the teammate lost the ball, delay the time, and create opportunities for others to return to the defense.
※※※
As soon as the second half started, Dortmund made a substitution. Sven Bender came off and Mkhitaryan played.
This substitution surprised everyone.
"Oh... Klopp made another amazing substitution. He didn't want to defend in midfield at all..." Marcel Leff said helplessly. Klopp did this kind of thing. It's no surprise.
This is not the first time Klopp has done this. Sometimes he can win, sometimes he can't win.
But overall, it seems that he wins more when he bets?
Marcel Leif thought for a moment and found that Klopp's luck was not really good...
Why did the goddess of fortune care so much about him?
