Juventus conceded a goal first, but they did not fall behind. Whether it was the defensive players who lost the ball or the strikers who continued to attack, they maintained a peaceful attitude and continued to strive for goals.
Based on this alone, Yun Sheng is very satisfied with the team's performance.
The game has been going on for more than half an hour now, and Juventus' offense is also frequently pressing forward, but Dortmund's defense did a great job today, and it is difficult for Juventus to get good opportunities.
In addition to the excellent cooperation of the four defenders of the goalkeeper, Dortmund's two midfielders Gundogan and Kyle also performed very well today.
Neither of these two midfielders are the tough type of midfielders like Gattuso and Ballack, but despite this, their position selection and prediction are very good, and they can always appear accurately where the team needs it most. to disrupt Juventus' passing and counterattacks.
"Pirlo's long pass was actually intercepted by Gundogan! His accurate movement made a kick before Raul received the ball and intercepted the ball! Gundogan made a long pass, and Dortmund's fast break Come up!"
Not only are they excellent defensively, Gundogan and Kyle are both very good passing players. They can attack and defend well, and they also have excellent passing skills. Dortmund's midfield is equipped with two engines and can counterattack on the spot at any time. , which puts Juventus under a lot of pressure.
On Juventus' side, the dual-core team of Pirlo and Ballack also performed very well. Both of their passes are world-class. Each long pass and through ball are extremely accurate, helping the team create opportunities.
"Barack made a long pass and the ball found Van Persie in the penalty area! The Dutch forward volleyed, but Hummels nudged the ball with his toe and hit the crossbar and bounced out! What a pity!"
If Dortmund's defense hadn't been solid enough, I'm afraid Juventus would have broken the deadlock long ago.
At this time, in a live broadcast room at the West Stadium, Di Livio and Vieri from Italian Football Sports 3 were commentating on the game.
Unlike Schroeder and Hesl next door, the two Italian commentators were a little dull today because Juventus had not scored a goal and was scored by their opponents. Even Vieri, who has always disliked Juventus, was also very depressed.
"Today Juventus was completely restricted by their opponents. Let alone winning this game, it was not easy to even the score. It seems that the glory of Italian football in the European war this season depends on our Inter Milan."
"Say less," Di Livio glanced at Vieri helplessly, "Juventus played well today, but the opponent was too strong."
"This Dortmund team is the one that has overthrown Bayern, the Bundesliga hegemon, and is now in the spotlight. The players in the midfield and backfield are young and promising, and the forward players are also young talents."
"Lewandowski has just joined the team for more than a year, and he has pushed the main striker Barrios to the bench; Gotze and Reus are both main players of the German national team, Shinji Kagawa is the best player in the Bundesliga half-time, and Beijing Dogan has been spotted by several wealthy teams, and Hummels has become one of Germany's top central defenders. Juventus must deal with such a team patiently."
At this time, there was a fast break from Dortmund. After Gotze and Shinji Kagawa cooperated, they passed the ball into the penalty area. Lewandowski once again forced a kick under Metzelder's defense, but this time Buffon chose his position well and was stable. He firmly put the ball under his body.
Vieri couldn't help but sigh: "Dortmund's playing style is really beautiful. No wonder they have more and more fans around the world in recent years. They have good tactics, good playing style, and they can win the championship. Who doesn't like Dortmund like this?" .”
Di Livio: "Don't forget your position and pay attention to your words..."
Vieri: "Okay, then I wish Juventus can equalize the score as soon as possible in the second half, although I think the possibility of winning is extremely slim..."
At this time, the referee blew the half-time whistle, and Dortmund easily walked to the tunnel with a one-goal lead.
Klopp excitedly high-fived the players on the sidelines one by one. He was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.
On the other side, Yunsheng greeted the Juventus players with the same smile, and walked towards the locker room with Ballack, who finally left the field.
Being the last one to enter the room again, Yun Sheng closed the door and looked at the players in front of him.
"Guys, you played well in the first half, but the opponent also played well, so I'm going to make some tactical adjustments in the second half..."
As soon as Yun Sheng said a few words, Ballack, who was sitting in the second row, stood up. His expression was very serious: "Sir, I have some personal thoughts about our opponent Dortmund and I want to talk to you about it."
Yun Sheng smiled slightly. Barak, a tough guy, always had a straight temper. He said what he said and didn't like to beat around the bush.
"No problem Michael, just say it if you have anything to say."
"Sir, Dortmund's defensive position in the backcourt is very solid, which has caused us a lot of trouble. However, the traditional German central defenders have distinct characteristics. Although they are tall and strong and have great strength in the air, they are not flexible enough. We can Hit the back more often."
"The German center back is not flexible enough?" Metzelder in the back row muttered, "Michael, I don't want to lose face..."
Barzagli patted him comfortingly: "I didn't say anything about you. I didn't say anything about you."
Metzelder: "Although I sometimes react slowly, I am not stupid..."
The players whispered, and Ballack sat down after speaking. Yun Sheng looked at the German midfielder and nodded happily.
"Michael, I appreciate your straightforwardness, and I also appreciate your overall view! You are right, I am going to make some adjustments in the second half, which are made based on the lack of flexibility of the German central defender!"
Metzelder: "Well, it's confirmed that I'm not flexible enough..."
Yun Sheng sketched the names of Dortmund defenders on the whiteboard: "Hummels and Subotic, both of whom are over 1.9 meters tall, are like two walls, standing firmly in Dortmund's penalty area. . Schmelzer and Piszczek are both over 1.8 meters tall. They frequently defended and also used their physical advantages."
"But they also have a big weakness. As Ballack said, they are not flexible enough. Our forwards have discovered this in the first half, but still did not score a goal. This is not your fault, but the team's investment. The troops are not strong enough, allowing you to continue to be trapped in the opponent's muscle forest."
"I'm going to make some adjustments in the second half. Pirlo will take a rest, and Diego will come on as a substitute. You and Ronaldinho will move forward, forming a five-man offensive combination with the front trident, and use short passes to threaten the opponent's goal! I am right You have absolute confidence that you will definitely be able to tear apart Dortmund’s defense in the second half!”
