got windy!
After the start of the game, the sweltering heat in Shanghai has become windy, and it's not too small, which is conducive to the players' better performance.
The stadium is full of voices. If you close your eyes at this time, the players will feel like they are playing at the "Signal Iduna Park Stadium".
Neither side had a shot in the first few minutes of the first half, with Dortmund leading the way in terms of possession.
Dortmund's starting lineup for this game is:
Goalkeeper - Weidenfeller
Defense - Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer
Double defensive midfielder - Sven Bender, Wang Kong
Avant-garde line - Royce, Mkhitaryan, Lee Joe
Solo striker - Gomez
Klopp has sent two new aids, Wang Kong's playing is to satisfy the Chinese fans, and Gomez's playing is Klopp's tactical needs.
Uncle Zha had studied the Chinese team before the game, and he found that the Chinese team was not afraid of speedy teams, but fearful of strength-based teams. The reason why the Chinese team lost the first game in the world was because the average altitude of Belgian players was too high.
Therefore, the single arrow arranged by Klopp in this game is "Gomez", and it turns out that this deal is too cost-effective.
Whether facing Wei Xiao or Zhou Dun, Gomez can calmly control the ball and wait for the players to come up. With Gomez, Dortmund's offense has been greatly enriched.
Bender passed the ball to Gomez, and the latter used his physical advantage to lean on Zhou Dun. Zhou Dun couldn't squeeze Gomez, so he had to stand still. Gomez turned around forcibly and shot the goal vigorously. The ball was higher than the crossbar, but the ball was very aggressive.
The starting lineup of the Chinese team for this game is:
Goalkeeper - Wang Dalei.
Defense line - Qi Bing, Zhou Dun, Wei Xiao, Chen Fei.
Midfielders - Hao Junmin, Zhang Linpeng, Liao Lisheng.
Forwards - Lin Zhijian, Ding Mu, Zhang Xizhe.
Seeing the Chinese team being crushed, Stan was very happy, because it has been a long time since the Chinese team had a match of this intensity. There is no team in Asia that can put too much pressure on the Chinese team. Although the warm-up match on the international match day can invite some strong teams, the opponents are often not serious.
Therefore, if the Bundesliga champions try their best to compete with the Chinese team, it would be a dream for Stan.
At this time, there was a very funny scene on the sidelines. Two crazy head coaches were dancing and directing their teams.
"Zhou Dun," Stan called out, and then made a pushing motion.
Stan understands that as an Asian team, the Chinese team will definitely meet at least one European team in the 2018 World Cup group stage, so it is inevitable to fight physically at that time. If the Chinese team cannot overcome this, then it will be difficult to go far in 2018.
Some people may say that Asian teams are definitely not as good as Europeans in terms of physical fitness.
Stan is a person who likes to find a way, not an excuse, "Push him out, Zhou Dun",
Although Zhou Dun has worked hard in the Premier League for half a year, Zhou Dun still can't handle Gomez's air-dominated players. When Gomez was still at Bayern, even Boateng had a hard time defending Gomez when he encountered team confrontation.
Under continuous pressure, the Chinese team still conceded a goal in the 16th minute of the first half.After receiving the pass from the midfielder, Gomez jumped up and flew to the right. Qi Bing here did not pay attention to his position. After catching up, Royce volleyed directly, and a world wave went straight to the upper right corner of the goal. 1-0, Wang Dalei could only watch the goal into the net.
The ball was played simply and domineeringly, Gomez's ferry and Royce's volley were all world-class, so after losing the ball, Stan did not blame, but applauded and encouraged everyone, "It's okay, we will equalize the score."
But it’s easier said than done. Without Li Qiao, the Chinese team’s ability to break through the wing is obviously insufficient. Neither Zhang Xizhe nor “Liao Lisheng” can break through the defense of “Pishchek”. In this way, Ding Mu can’t get the ball by himself standing in front for a long time, let alone pose any threat to Dortmund’s goal.
Wang Kong took a strong shot in front of the penalty area, and the ball hit the goal post. The Chinese fans in the audience gave a "hoo". This kind of emotion is very complicated. Wang Kong and Li Qiao performed very well. Should we be happy or worried?
But at least Stan is very happy. If you can't cut a jade, you can't make a weapon. Wang Kong is a piece of jade with first-class physical fitness. If he works hard under Klopp, he will probably become a world-class midfielder in the future.
Wang Kong and Bender controlled the midfield very well. After 25 minutes in the first half, Dortmund had more than 70% possession of the ball. Even so, the Chinese team was still very compact.
Although the pressure was great, Zhou Dun still passed the ball to Ding Mu, who was fighting against Hummels, but the captain of Dortmund got in ahead of time, and Ding Mu was behind Hummels.
Normally in such a situation, the defensive player just wants to protect the ball from the bottom line, and Hummels thought so too, but what he didn’t expect was that Ding Mu suddenly stretched his foot under Hummels’ crotch to poke the ball.
After Ding Mu poked the ball, he quickly went forward and shot. Unfortunately, the ball was about to go out of the baseline. Ding Mu also kicked hastily, and finally the ball was saved by Weidenfeller.
But this shot was like a shot in the arm. The Chinese fans were high, and the Dortmund players were surprised. They controlled the situation, but the Chinese team could still find opportunities to shoot in a small space.
After the ball, Dortmund's defense became more cautious in handling the ball. Klopp also waved his hands and asked the midfielder to press forward, pushing the front line to the opponent's half, reducing the opponent's chance of counterattack!
*****
Dortmund's offense paid great attention to the rhythm, like playing an accordion, press it down, and then loosen it. When Bender and Wang Kong pushed the ball into the arc of the Chinese team's penalty area, it should have been shot, but no, Dortmund's offense suddenly loosened, and Bender passed the ball across to Li Qiao on the left.
Facing Chen Fei, Li Qiao didn't stop the ball, and shot directly from the corner of the penalty area. The ball drew a small arc, but the speed was very fast. Wang Dalei jumped up and pounced, but the ball still went into the net.
2 is better than 0!
After the goal, the Chinese fans at home also applauded Li Qiao. Li Qiao raised his hands to express his apology, and his teammates were also very understanding and did not celebrate.
At this time, Stan waved his right hand to make an uppercut gesture, which meant "hit the opponent, attack", but the problem was that he couldn't attack.
"The Chinese team without Li Qiao is like Argentina without Messi, and its strength plummets," Stein thought.
But not long after that, Dortmund scored again, this time it was a corner kick, and Gomez beat the Chinese defender to score, 3-0.
At this time, there were sporadic boos on the scene. Although the opponent is the Bundesliga champion, the mentality of the Chinese fans is different from before. They are used to the winning mode, and they are used to the Chinese team scoring other people's goals. Therefore, they were still dissatisfied when they scored 3 goals in the first half.
The booing was very effective. The Chinese team stepped up their fight in the midfield, and after leading by 3 goals, Dortmund was a little relaxed. Slowly, the Chinese team pushed out.
In friendly matches, the general coaches come here to mix things up, but Klopp is not. He kept turning his eyes and stared at the Chinese team for half the time.
It seems that in the first half of the game, Klopp has his eyes on one person, and that is the core of the Chinese team's defense-Zhou Dun.
Zhou Dun looks very good, but Klopp thinks that Tottenham will not let him go. More importantly, Dortmund has no shortage of central defenders. It is impossible for Zhou Dun to be willing to come to Dortmund as a substitute, but Uncle Zha still looks at Zhou Dun greedily, as if seeing a treasure.
Klopp has a good vision. Although Zhou Dun is not as good as Gomez in physical confrontation, he can get stuck every time. What does this mean?
It shows that Zhou Dun plays very smartly and has good predictions. For central defenders, predictions are always the most important.
Just when Klopp's eyes were attracted by Zhou Dun, he realized that Zhou Dun's position was wrong, "Can't we boast"?
After Zhou Dun handed the ball to Zhang Linpeng, it stands to reason that he should retreat immediately, but Zhou Dun didn't. He detoured to the left and drew a big circle to go up.
"Does he think of himself as Beckenbauer"?Klopp thought.
But one minute later, when Weidenfeller picked up the ball in the net, Klopp knew it was his fault this time.
Zhou Dun's sudden advance fooled everyone, and none of Dortmund's defensive players paid attention to him. When Zhou Dun penetrated in front of Dortmund's penalty area, Lin Zhijian made a straight kick. At this time, everyone looked back suddenly, "What?"
But Zhou Dun didn’t give everyone a chance to be surprised. After he got the ball, he took two steps and shot the goal immediately after entering the penalty area. The ball was well played. Weidenfeller was caught off guard.
After the goal, the Chinese team celebrated wantonly, Li Qiao also applauded for his teammates, and Klopp on the sidelines smiled helplessly. He was always looking for a reason not to buy Zhou Dun, but Zhou Dun told Klopp with a phenomenal performance, you will regret it if you don’t buy me.
Klopp felt itchy at this moment, he looked at the big screen, the first half was almost over, Klopp asked Aubameyang to warm up, and began to prepare for replacing Li Qiao in the second half.
