Originally, Simone's tactics were to use high-pressures to disrupt Dortmund's offense. This was useful against teams that were good at passing and controlling the ball. For example, the previous game of Atletico Madrid defeating Barcelona 1-0 fully proved this.

But Simeone never expected that high-level pressing did not help Atletico Madrid curb Dortmund's offense, but instead gave Dortmund the opportunity to attack...

Atletico Madrid pressed in the frontcourt and kept investing troops, but the number of people who could play was fixed, with only eleven people, and only ten people who could move freely from the goal.

With more troops invested in the frontcourt, the number of people invested in the backcourt will naturally be smaller. The field area is so large that it is impossible for every area to take care of, and there will always be some gaps.

At this time, if Dortmund has another person who is good at catching space, there will inevitably be alarms behind Atletico Madrid's defense.

After Dortmund stole the Atletico Madrid ball this time, he quickly launched an attack directed at the Atletico Madrid goal.

They did not fall back and forth in the backcourt, looking for opportunities.

The opportunity has already appeared, and now it depends on whether you can seize it. At this time, what is competing is not patience, but speed and accuracy.

Zhou Yi did not stop the ball and directly passed the ball. The one who received the ball was Reuters.

Dortmund used the tactics in this game to quickly pass and cut, which required the speed and accuracy of the pass. Under such requirements, it is unlikely that long passes will fly all over the sky. Most of the time, the team will use short passes to advance.

In order to ensure the speed and accuracy of the pass, the distance between the player cannot be too far away. If the distance increases, the accuracy of the pass will plummetly decrease. No matter how good the passer is, it will not be able to get rid of this rule.

So this requires Dortmund players to keep a very close distance and their formation must be centered on Zhou Yi. Everyone must keep running, the forwards cannot stay in front and not come back, and the defenders must not stop pressing.

Several lines must be kept in touch at all times so that Dortmund's quick pass and cut can be hit.

This set of tactics requires very high physical fitness.

Even if Dortmund is known for its good physical fitness, it will be difficult for the entire game, let alone at the end of the season, the players have few physical fitness left.

All early goals are particularly important.

Only by scoring early and turning the advantage into a victory can the pressure on the team be relieved.

The earlier the goal comes, the better, and the more goals you score, the better.

Atletico Madrid's three-pronged approach to Barcelona was completely stunned by the three-pronged approach in the opening 20 minutes. Now Dortmund also has three-pronged approach to Atletico Madrid.

After Reus received the ball, because he was facing the attacking direction, he took the ball and turned around by himself, which was a waste of time and there was a risk of being cut off. So Reus directly passed the ball back to the full-back Piszczek who was inserted.

This is why everyone is required to actively run, forwards need to retreat, and defenders need to press forward. Only in this way can we establish a connection.

After receiving the pass from Reus, Piszczek quickly moved to the middle and gave Sven Bend.

Sven Bend gave the football out as soon as possible and gave it to Zhou Yi.

All Dortmund players try to adjust their football as little as possible, and try to only contact the football twice, one is to stop the ball and the other is to pass the ball.

This is a key training event in these three days of training sessions. Klopp requires players to do this, and if they cannot do it, they will be punished.

Under such devilish training, the accuracy and time of passing between Dortmund players have improved significantly.

In fact, the outside world's guess is correct. How can you practice any "secret weapon" in three days...

But the premise of this speculation is that this secret weapon is made out of nothing.

But Dortmund players are not unfamiliar with this "secret weapon". This quick pass and cut style has been played since the team owned the small black room "Footbonaut", Dortmund players have begun to try to play such football in the game.

Earlier, Zhou Yi, Mark Wagner and Gotze began to use the quick transmission between the three people to tear open the opponent's defense line and help the Dortmund youth team win the youth championship.

So this tactic is strictly not a "secret weapon". Dortmund has not been fired before, and everyone knows it.

But at this time, many people can't think of this, it only exists in people's blind spots in thinking, and in this sense it is a "secret weapon".

Simeone never expected that Dortmund would use such a set of tactics to deal with him...

Other Dortmund players will stop the football first and then pass the ball. Being able to touch the ball twice can meet Klopp's requirements.

But Zhou Yi's standards are different. He keeps the ball and passes the ball directly! He has to send the football out at one touch.

Facing the football passed by Sven Bend, Zhou Yi turned his back to the attack direction, but used his right foot to send the football behind him, giving Yan Min who was approaching the middle.

Then Zhou Yi turned around and ran forward.

After entering the midfield area, the person who was close to him was replaced by Gabi.

But Gabi didn't touch the football at all. He looked at Zhou Yi's back and turned around, feeling very happy. He felt that Zhou Yi took the initiative to turn around and face the attack direction, so that he could keep a close eye on the defense.

Unexpectedly, although Zhou Yi was facing away from the offensive direction, he could still pass the football forward. At the same time, he blocked himself in front of Gabi and protected the football well.

Seeing that Zhou Yi turned around, Gabi turned around and continued to defend Zhou Yi. This was the task given to him by Simeone, and he must complete it.

Yan Min passed the football over diagonally and then passed it to Zhou Yi who was in front of him.

Gabi is still following Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi did not stop the ball during the running, but used the outer instep of his right foot to push the ball to the right, giving Reus the introductory.

After passing the ball, he did not stop and run, but continued to run forward, and at the same time made a gesture to let Reus pass the football to him. This was a very obvious cooperation between hitting the wall.

Of course, Reus passed the football back soon.

Zhou Yi has advanced to Atletico Madrid's 30-meter area at this time. Not only Gabi is defending him, but also added Atletico Madrid's central defender Godin.

He was originally on his defense line. Seeing that Zhou Yi had just killed him all the way, he certainly couldn't ignore him. So when Reus passed the football to Zhou Yi, he also rushed towards Zhou Yi, intending to defend against Gabby, one in front and one behind, so that Dortmund's attack would end here.

Zhou Yi adjusted his pace while running, faced the rolling football, swung his right foot and made the move to shoot.

Godin immediately raised his foot and turned around, intending to use his body to block Zhou Yi's shot.

Raising your feet is to increase the defense area, and turning around is to protect your body instinct - if you don't turn around, it will be uncomfortable if you let the football hit the face or crotch...

The football rolls over, Zhou Yi swings his feet!

But he didn't play football!

Is it a kick?!

No, it was intentional leaking!

Zhou Yi's kick was swung by the football before he could pass through him...

He let the ball go, but the football speed did not decrease and passed it straight to the front of Zhou Yi's left.

There, Aubameyang flew forward and received the ball!

Due to Zhou Yi's series of communication and cooperation with Yan Min and Reus just now, and the momentum of advancing in the middle, it attracted the attention of most Atletico Madrid players.

So when Aubameyang got the ball, they realized that Dortmund's killing move was here!

Aubameyang had already entered Atletico Madrid's penalty area when he got the ball.

He has an excellent shot now!

Aubameyang did not hesitate and directly shot!

Juan Fran rushed up to stop Aubameyang's shot, and his feet were stretched out and he also touched the football.

However, the football did not change its line and flew out of the goal area, but changed its direction slightly and flew to the near-bottom corner of the goal!

Originally, Aubameyang's shot was heading for the far corner, and Courtois also made a comeback, but who would have thought that Juan Fran would pull such a kick...

The football changed direction, and Courtois could do nothing more, so he could only watch the football rolling into the goal against the near post!

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Wow! Just three minutes into the game, Dortmund took a goal to lead! Aubameyang's shot! Dortmund had a perfect start!" Marcel Leif shouted excitedly.
Chapter completed!
