Chapter 844 Penalty kick
Entering the intermission, Dortmund survived half the game in a daze.
However, from the state of the Dortmund players when they exited the field, it can be judged that their physical energy consumption is too great.
Especially the three defenders, all sweating profusely and panting like cows.
Obviously this game is really a test for them.
"Dortmund survived halftime, which is good news for them. How to adjust during the halftime break is the most critical issue!"
“I think Boss should consider returning to the four-back system instead of continuing to use the three-back system. This will only drag down Dortmund’s midfield and counterattack ability!”
The first half has proved that Dortmund's three defenders are useless.
If you still use it forcefully at this time, you may really lose the game.
But Bosch had a different idea from them.
For Boss, it is not a problem of the tactics itself, but the connection between the midfield and the backcourt is not done well.
"Be sure to actively retreat to catch the ball. When your teammates catch the ball, most of you choose to watch from the sidelines instead of going back to help your teammates. In this way, the space will not be stretched. I only have one request for you. That is to actively catch the ball, and then find the right time to attack the ball quickly!"
Bosch's words fully demonstrated his attitude, and the three-back system will still be used in the second half.
Responding to this, there was a trace of bitterness on everyone's faces.
Especially Subotic said with a bitter face, "Boss! I'm under too much pressure, I think"
"Hey! Dude, everyone has pressure. It's a question of whether you can overcome it. I think as long as you overcome this pressure, you can grow further!" Bosch said seriously.
Subotic opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head helplessly.
He wants help, but the head coach is pouring chicken soup on him.
What else?
If the head coach says yes, he has to do it, and if he can't, he has to do it.
It seems that the second half is another tormenting moment.
On the other side, in Arsenal's dressing room, Mourinho also emphasized it over and over again.
"You guys played too anxiously. We obviously had many chances to score in the first half, but we couldn't grasp it because we were too anxious. You must look up and observe before shooting, instead of shooting blindly!"
"If time is too late, you can also observe in advance!"
"Guys, win this game so we can get through this Christmas easily, so! Win Dortmund!"
After the coaches of both sides gave their best speeches, they let the players rest.
In the first half, both teams had their own problems.
Dortmund is more of a tactical problem, while Arsenal failed to seize the opportunity.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
As Arsenal opened, the commentator also warmed up loudly.
"After the first half, the score between the two sides was still 0:0. The entire first half was in Arsenal's dominant period, and Dortmund was more able to persist than we thought!"
"But for Dortmund, they still need some fundamental changes!"
"But judging from the current situation, Dortmund coach Bosch is still obsessed with the pass control system of the three defenders, but we also expect Dortmund players to get better performance!"
"At the same time, Arsenal did not have any personnel changes, and both sides maintained the lineup of the first half"
Accompanied by the commentator's words, Dortmund's fighting was fierce when Arsenal attacked.
Maybe based on the arrangement of the head coach, they are constantly pressing and intercepting Arsenal.
However, Dortmund still has some flaws as a whole, and it is impossible to practice this set of tactics well.
On the other hand, when Dortmund has the ball, Arsenal's press is much stronger.
In almost less than 2 minutes, Arsenal was able to complete the steal of the ball, and then quickly entered the offensive state.
In 65 minutes, Arsenal got another chance for a corner kick.
This is also Arsenal's first corner kick in the second half.
"Arsenal's corner kick again. In the first half they already used a corner kick to tell Dortmund that Arsenal's corner kick is very threatening, and how will Dortmund defend now?"
This time, Arsenal's corner kick did not use any tactical corner kick.
Instead, the penalty is directed to the middle.
Le Kai ran to the front to attract the defensive force, but at this time there was a sudden scream from behind.
Lucky turned his head immediately.
He saw Giroud lying on the ground, holding his waist with pain on his face.
Beside him, Subotic looked innocent.
"Girou is lying on the ground, looking very painful from the expression, but it must not be injured!"
At this time, the referee also ran over, showed Subotic a yellow card, and then thought only of his eyes and said, "I've been staring, you saw you pushing someone!"
Now, Subotic has no words of defense.
The referee immediately pointed to the penalty spot.
"It's worse! With the situation not optimistic, Dortmund was awarded another penalty. If this penalty is scored, Dortmund's situation will become even worse!"
At this time, slow motion also appeared.
From the slow motion, it can be clearly seen that after Giroud took off, Subotic was injured in a hurry and obviously made a pushing action.
And it was pushing the waist that caused Giroud to lose his center of gravity in the air and fell hard to the ground.
This ball is a penalty kick for a flagrant foul.
"Subotic is really in a hurry. This kind of pushing action is used, and it is used against his old teammates. Obviously, this is a move based on defensive pressure."
"Subotic is still not competent for the job of three backs. Although he played well in the league before, this is because the pressure is not strong enough. After switching to a team like Arsenal, the pressure will instantly change to another level!"
"Subotic's problem has been completely exposed!"
“I don’t think it’s a problem with the defenders. Instead, the head coach is too obsessed with the formation of three defenders, causing the defenders to panic!”
"This is the head coach's misjudgment!"
In the arena, Giroud has stood up.
He supported his waist, obviously unable to recover for a while.
Lucky asked, "Do you need a substitution?"
Giroud shook his head, then turned his head to look at the penalty spot, and then looked at Lucky.
Le Kai blinked, and couldn't help but smiled sassily; "Here you are! You play a penalty kick!"
Hearing this, Giroud showed a bit of embarrassment and said; "I need Champions League goals!"
Lucky nodded: "If you want to play in the future, just tell me, I trust your shooting ability!"
In this regard, Giroud showed a happy smile.
When Lucky stuffed the ball into Giroud's arms, the opponent happily ran to the penalty spot, as if he had forgotten the pain in his waist.
Giroud stood at the penalty spot, and he became the focus of the audience.
Arsenal fans couldn't help being a little nervous. After all, Lucky didn't take the penalty, which made them feel unsafe.
But they also tried to believe Giroud.
Facing his old teammates, Giroud did not make any accusations.
On the other hand, Burki repeated over and over again:
"Hey! Oliver, I know which side you're playing? I know you well!"
Giroud turned a deaf ear to Burki's words, and quickly stepped back to widen the run-up distance.
After the referee signaled, Giroud immediately ran.
"Giroux run up!"
Giroud ran all the way to the penalty spot, without any rhythm conversion at all, but directly chose to shoot.
"Bottom left corner! Here is the ball!!"
The commentator paused, mainly because the goalkeeper guessed the direction correctly and rushed over.
It's just that the ball still hit the opponent's forearm and got in from below.
"This goal is really dangerous. Burki almost saved Giroud's penalty, but the result was good. Arsenal successfully scored the penalty and led 1:0!"
After Giroud confirmed the goal, he also rushed towards the stands, venting his excitement.
In fact, when Burki pounced on the ball just now, he was also taken aback.
Fortunately, he scored, otherwise he would really be sprayed.
After all, he asked for the ball from Le Kai, rather than Le Kai taking the initiative to give it to him.
Arsenal finally broke the deadlock on the court at 72 minutes.
After holding on for so long, Dortmund finally failed to keep the goal.
Not only did the central defender get a yellow card, but he was also awarded a penalty kick that caused the team to lose more than the gain.
At this time, many people have begun to complain about the three-back lineup, and they are also questioning the ability of the head coach Boss.
They think it was Bosch's stubbornness that led to this loss!
