Chapter 1039: True and False Advantages
“嘘~嘘!!!”
The long whistle cut through the sky, and time was broken at this moment, and the competition among the strongest clubs of this season began.
"Okay, Arsenal took the ball, Aguero received Liu Feng's pass and pointed back, the two quickly inserted from both sides, while Giroud followed up from the middle to pounce."
Just from the kick-off, Arsenal team made a small tactical cooperation. When Liu Feng and Aguero were not in the middle, Dortmund almost lost their goal in the midfield.
Fortunately, Giroud, who came from behind, gave them the light, but the price they paid was that Liu Feng and Aguero had already entered their own threat area like two nails.
"Ganso controls the ball in the middle, and his left and right ends are Wilhel and Ramsey, respectively. These are the most eye-catching young midfielders of Arsenal this season. The three of them pass very quickly. Lewandowski and Gotze, who came to Dortmund, were both directly deducted."
In this game, Klopp arranged a 451 formation for his team, and he did not give in at all when facing the powerful Arsenal.
Lewandowski, who has now moved towards the Bundesliga first striker, has become the team's single arrow, and the five midfielders behind him are Reus, Shahin, Gundogan, Gotze and Kyle.
These are all players who have performed very well in various competitions this season. Klopp has completely lined up the team's strongest lineup.
The players of both sides had a direct conflict in the middle circle. The Hornets' five-midfielder was equipped with a five-point position in the Seagulls, which made Gansu's idea of directly penetrating failed. They could only temporarily control the ball with the drag and back of Liu Feng and Aguero.
Seeing this opportunity, Liu Jianhong quickly introduced the starting lineup of both sides. In terms of the back line layout, four players, Schmelzer, Groschrucs, Hummels and Santana, started, and the goalkeeper was Weidenfeller.
Although some of these players may be limited to the Bundesliga, their strength is definitely the top one after the team's Champions League polishing this season.
In the eighth minute of the game, Arsenal scored the side through Gansuo. After Liu Feng broke through on the left, he directly crossed forty-five degrees to the feet in front of the penalty area. Hummels destroyed the opponent's attack with an extremely fast reaction speed.
Such scenes keep happening. Even though the opponent's playing style is very tough and fierce, the Gunners are still very uncomfortable in the first fifteen minutes of the game.
Although they have more control over the ball and attack, there are not many opportunities to truly threaten the opponent's goal.
On the contrary, Dortmund, under the passionate command of Klopp on the sidelines, had obvious intentions to launch a quick counterattack after every interception and disruption of the opponent's attack.
In the 17th minute of the game, Aguero took the ball to the right side of the Hornets' midfield and broke through. He was originally facing Shahin one-on-one, but he did not expect that Reus behind him would return to defense so quickly. The ball was directly cut off when he was sneaked up by his opponent.
Then, Reus turned his horse's head and launched the team's counterattack with the shouts of countless Dortmund fans.
Gansuo immediately wanted to block Reus's path forward, but the other party was obviously not an ordinary opponent. After a rapid shaking and directional change, Reus showed his amazing talent to the whole world.
"Having almost all the qualities of an excellent wing forward, Reus' breakthrough opened a door for the team's offense!"
When the Gunners' defense began to show some local few people, Reus continued to move forward and forced Alves to choose to attack. At this time, the ball was divided by him.
"The ball was passed to the middle, and Gundogan's feet were crossed. Ramsey was blocked by him and didn't see it. Gotze took the ball!!!"
The biggest focus before this game, Gotze, got the ball on the court for the first time, and then he gave a kick that made countless people slap the ball.
"Swish~"
After leaving his feet, the ball avoided Wilshire's flying tackle and Mertesack's attack in an extremely tricky way, and then appeared at the feet of Lewandowski who was running forward.
"For Dortmund's opportunity, Lewandowski took the ball to adjust it and hit it directly~~~Vermalen! He tackled the opponent with one kick and destroyed his opponent's shooting opportunity."
"Shh!!!"
A sharp whistle sounded, and before twenty minutes of the game, the Gunners' defense made a foul at a distance from the front of the penalty area.
The referee ran to Vermullen with a yellow card, knowing that he had indeed committed a foul. Vermullen spread his hands and said nothing. Mertesack ran back and hugged him tightly and stuck his head.
Compared to Vermullen, Mertesack's leak just now is truly deadly. No one knows how desperate he is when he sees the ball rolling past him. He even prepares for his opponent to score directly at this moment.
"This is a very necessary tactical foul. Lewandowski's shooting has been proven in many competitions. For such a world-leading shooter, it is almost certain to score an uninterrupted shot."
No one would be so stupid that he accuses Vermall of creating a very threatening free kick opportunity for his opponent, but this distance is indeed very dangerous, and everyone has begun to pay attention to the Gunners' wall arrangement on the field.
On the court, four tall and powerful Arsenal players lined up into a wall of people under the command of Szczesni, and then Szczesni also quickly moved to block the other side of the space.
Reus and Gotze are already standing in front of the ball. Both players have good free kick skills and have also experienced free kicks in the league, but neither of them is a master.
At this moment, many Hornet fans began to envy the Gunners who possessed Liu Feng, a free kick master. No matter from which angle this goal was seen, if Liu Feng came, the penalty rate would definitely reach more than 60%.
Of course, there is no if.
"Shh!!!"
"Royce took the lead in running and stepped over the ball~ The Gunners' wall was not deceived, Gotze ran and shot!!!"
"Bang!"
The moment before the ball left Gotze's feet, the Gunners' wall jumped up just right, which forced Gotze to add an upward force to ensure that he crossed the wall.
And the result of this is-
“DUANG!”
"I'm sorry~ The ball hits the upper edge of the beam and pops out of the bottom line!"
"Huh~"
Szczesny, who was standing in front of the goal, breathed a sigh of relief, and countless Arsenal fans also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, no one regards Gotze's affairs as the team's advantage. No matter how this player looks at the game, he is still at the top.
