Chapter 1042 cracks
"Bortmond's possession of the ball did not last long. They quickly started to attack, and Gotze once again became the core of the team's organization and moved forward."
After a while since the second half began, when Arsenal did not pounce for a long time, the lagging Hornets stopped waiting anymore. The ball was given to Gotze from Gundogan's feet. Gotze pushed the ball forward and then crossed the half.
A single move moved the whole body, Gotze's movement meant that Dortmund's offensive players quickly entered the Gunners' half, and the close contact between the two sides soon appeared.
"Ganso came forward and Gotze continued to control the ball. He did not choose to pass the ball. Wilshire! He rushed directly from the side and attacked without hesitation."
The next moment, Gotze, who took the ball, almost turned the team's offense into a joke of heavy thunder and light rain. Fortunately, the player's reaction was fast enough to poke the ball out before he was disturbed by Wilshire and lost balance.
"Barrely split the ball, Reus retreated and got the ball before Ramsey."
Arsenal and his group are moving very fast, especially when there are only three people in the midfield. Once they are not in time, they will be able to break through their midfield defense.
Therefore, when Reus got the ball, the pressure he faced was quite great. Not only Ramsey, but Aguero, who was chasing back, was about to recover.
"The body is constantly in contact, and the speed of the two moving forward along the side road is slowing down. Reus did not choose to break through. He was waiting for the teammate who was receiving the support. Gundogan followed up and made a horizontal pass."
At this point, Dortmund's sudden acceleration of offensive speed has completely subsided, and they have to accept the fact that the team was restrained by the Gunners' midfield defense and had to start a tough battle.
At this time, Gotze had no other special emotions, but in the next ten minutes, a small emotion quickly grew out of his heart.
The tense confrontation between the two sides was mainly maintained within each other's midfield range during these ten minutes. In theory, the midfield of the Hornets' five players has an advantage over the Gunners' three players in any aspect.
But they have not achieved any results for a long time. With the continuous return of the Gunners' two wingers, it is difficult for them to truly hit the threatening area every attack.
Dortmund's midfield and frontcourt felt like he was falling into a quagmire, but Gotze was different. He was already covered in black and blue, and now his mind was full of being targeted.
Especially since none of my other teammates were knocked down or violently violated, I felt like I was staring at by several wolves as soon as I got the ball.
Arsenal's core targeting strategy finally made Goze, who has been in excellent condition, actively catching the ball and taking the ball, and getting the ball, and then began to feel some resistance.
For example, in the 60th minute of the game, when Gundogan finally divided the ball out under the siege of Aguero and Ramsey to give Gotze and seek opportunities through the middle lane, he grabbed the ball from Gansu with murderous intent and hurriedly pointed the ball to the right, giving it to Kyle, who was not well placed around him, who was also defending him.
"A very unwise pass, Alba attacked and Wilshire cooperated to directly cut the ball. Gotze was supposed to take the ball and walk directly from the middle. He wasted the opportunity for his teammates to pull him out."
On a stage like the Champions League final, it is not easy to have such opportunities. A team may have had a few opportunities from beginning to end, but now Gotze's handling has left it alone.
This made Klopp on the sidelines angry and shouted Gotze: "What are you doing? Is this ball handled like this??"
In fact, this is Klopp's coaching style. He also directed the game in previous games. He would loudly accuse the players of making mistakes that they shouldn't have made, but he would never settle the score after the game.
However, at this moment, Gotze's psychology was already a little unbalanced because of the deliberate targeting of the Gunners. At this moment, he was yelled by the coach again, and he felt like he was staring at by other teammates in the team.
On the court, Arsenal did not give Goze a chance to sort out his mentality. After the ball under Kyle was cut off, Wilshire took a few steps and quickly passed it to Gansuo.
Gansuo took advantage of the fact that Gotze could not catch up with a big strode and pushed him forward, and pushed the star forward with great strides. With the five Hornets pressing on and participating in the attack, the Gunners' counterattack soon arrived in front of the opponent's back line.
"Giro directly gave the fulcrum in the middle, stuck the defender behind his back and chose to pass the ball. A Feng took the ball from the left, and went straight to the parallel, and shot!!!"
"Bang!"
Perhaps because the team did not complete a few shots after the start of the second half, Liu Feng's shot was very decisive this time. Before Hummels had time to pounce on him to block the ball, the ball had already left his feet.
But unfortunately, this time Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller performed very well. He dragged his one-handed hand at the extreme distance and dragged the shot that was about to fly into the goal from the upper right corner of the goal out of the crossbar.
"Huh~~~"
A huge sigh came from the Light Stadium. The gun fans who were looking forward to the team's goal to directly expand their advantages in this counterattack were disappointed.
However, the Arsenal players on the court were not too upset, especially Liu Feng, who shot. He believed that he was not well prepared before the shot but was a little hasty, so there was nothing to say if he didn't enter.
A group of headers quickly leaned forward from the middle and backcourts, and the Gunners got a chance to have a corner kick. With few opportunities in the second half, they naturally had to seize the opportunity to attack a set piece.
"Liu Feng, Wilshire and Giroud were all waiting in the penalty area. Facing the tall and powerful Dortmund defense line, the two sides were constantly fighting."
Outside the penalty area, Aguero and Gansu were also on guard, and they were Gotze and Gundogan.
"Shh!!!"
Another sharp whistle, Ramsey drove the ball from the corner flag area and went straight to the penalty area.
"Liu Feng jumped high, Hummels next to him jumped up, the two of them entangled in the air, and the ball flew over."
"Bang!"
Just when Liu Jianhong regretfully said that Liu Feng did not hit the ball, Giroud, who was at a higher fulcrum in the middle, did not disappoint. He hit the ball on his head under the entanglement of Krutz, but the angle was outward.
"Oh, Giroud's header turned into a siege..."
