Chapter 144 Come on, Show Your Skills and Attack the Defending Champion!
Dortmund lost the derby against Schalke 04 before the Champions League, which was quite damaging to morale.
Many players in Real Madrid are discussing this.
Li Ang doesn't know whether Mourinho and the coaching staff have taken Dortmund's defeat into account for their psychological advantage.
If Mourinho really makes this judgment, then Li Ang thinks that Real Madrid may suffer a big loss in the subsequent tactical preparations.
Today, when Dortmund has not yet proved itself in the Champions League, the outside world's evaluation of Klopp is still low.
Even though Klopp has now completed the achievement of defending the Bundesliga and won the double championship in Germany last season.
Now he has been recognized by the mainstream football media in Europe and has steadily entered the ranks of Europe's top coaches.
But Li Ang still has to say that the evaluation of Klopp in today's football world is too low.
This guy is a genius in tactical research and development.
Whether it was the absolute oppressive style of play that he developed in the Bundesliga and perfected in the Premier League to restrain passing and controlling football.
Or the set of back-to-back control style of play that Liverpool developed in the later period.
To some extent, they all led the development and change of football tactics.
In this regard, he is very similar to Guardiola.
This is an absolutely tough opponent.
He is not as good as Mourinho in on-the-spot adjustments, but Klopp is definitely at the top level in football in terms of his ability to arrange targeted tactics before the game and adjust the mentality of players.
However, only Li Ang knows this now, and the rest of the people will not have such a high evaluation of Klopp at all.
Fortunately, in the last few days of preparation, Li Ang felt that Mourinho was still as meticulous and well prepared as always, and it seemed that he did not despise Dortmund, who had just lost the derby.
In terms of preparation, Mourinho has never let down his guard against enemies he has never played against.
This habit made Li Ang feel relieved quickly.
The teasing of Dortmund by other Real Madrid stars completely disappeared two days before the start of the war.
After all, what they are about to face is the Hornets who have won the championship over Bayern for two consecutive seasons and defeated Bayern 5-2 in the German Cup final last season.
All Real Madrid players know what level Bayern was last season. Who dares to underestimate Dortmund now? That is simply adding difficulty to the game for themselves.
On the afternoon of October 23, under the attention of countless media and fans, the players and coaching team of Real Madrid selected for the Champions League game list boarded the plane to Germany.
In the evening of the same day, Li Ang and his teammates stepped into the Westfalen Stadium.
This is a veritable European five-star stadium.
It is big enough, grand enough, and looks advanced enough.
Li Ang looked up in amazement and saw eight huge yellow brackets standing around the stadium.
These brackets look like swords piercing the sky!
Neat, regulated, and look very powerful.
Just like the youth version of Dortmund now.
Under Klopp's tactical framework, this Dortmund team has great potential and strength.
If everything develops normally, their future may even have a chance to overturn the entire European football world!
"This is a beautiful big stadium, but I feel a little sad when I think that we will be booed here tomorrow."
Marcelo felt the grass of the Westfalen, nodded with satisfaction, but then spread his hands and sighed in a funny way.
Li Ang and his teammates laughed when he heard this, but after laughing, he also had a little worry in his heart.
In tomorrow's game, in this stadium that is confidently promoted as "the first devil home in Europe", fighting with Dortmund, can the Real Madrid players adapt quickly?
No one gave Li Ang an answer at this time.
Mourinho and Karanka even had the same worries and doubts.
And they all chose not to talk about this topic for the time being.
There is no need to add psychological pressure to the team at this time. Just let it go. Let's adapt to the atmosphere of the scene during the warm-up tomorrow.
Besides, most of Real Madrid's current players are used to big scenes.
Matuidi and Modric, the new players, will be on the bench tomorrow.
The team as a whole should not be unable to adapt to the away atmosphere.
With more relaxation and optimism, the Real Madrid players spent a relatively peaceful night in Dortmund.
As soon as noon the next day, the atmosphere of the whole Dortmund battle became stronger instantly.
As the most watched strong dialogue among the eight Champions League group matches in this round, the match between Real Madrid and Dortmund can be said to be what the fans have been looking forward to for a long time.
And the most popular match below them is also another match in their group, Ajax against Manchester City at home.
There is no way. As the most veritable death group in this year's Champions League, every game in Group D is more interesting than the games in other groups.
If Real Madrid beat Dortmund again in this game, and Manchester City defeated Ajax as expected, there will be two teams with four points in Group D.
Real Madrid will have nine points by then, and it will not be a big problem for the group leader to qualify.
But the competition between Manchester City, Dortmund, and even Ajax, which has only one point in three rounds, will directly enter white-hot!
By then, the games in Group D will be more exciting.
Real Madrid fans, who have the biggest psychological advantage at present, are naturally the calmest.
Dortmund fans can barely keep calm in front of the TV.
Ajax fans are lying flat, but they still put a pillow under their heads, waiting for the home team to overthrow Manchester City and do sit-ups.
The most nervous ones are Manchester City fans.
They have to watch and pay attention to both games!
We should pray that the home team can beat Ajax steadily, and also pray that Real Madrid, which put them in a passive position in the first round, can continue to win in this round of group matches, and it would be best if they could win more goals against Dortmund!
For the right to qualify, this will change their position and temporarily cheer for Real Madrid, which is not bad~
The fans are calculating points very fast, but for the participating players, the situation is actually not that complicated.
Fighting for victory with all your strength is the kingly way!
Dortmund fans will not hope that Ajax will beat Manchester City and consolidate their current second place in the group.
They just want to beat Real Madrid, overtake them in a dignified manner, and become the first in the group!
And Real Madrid players will certainly not consider the problem of tolerance.
They have won two consecutive games. If they don’t win three consecutive games in one go, will they be worthy of themselves and the fans?
So, don’t be scared, this is not a league, I can take it easy this round, and I will compete with you for tolerance later.
The Champions League cannot afford to make mistakes. If you take a step back in front, you will take too much back in the back.
When the players of this round of games finished warming up and the final tactical preparations, and followed the referee team to step onto the grass of the field together.
There was no way back behind them.
They must fight!
Go forward courageously, fight for performance, fight for victory, fight for points and the right to qualify!
The Champions League is such a big stage for competition!
The winner takes all, the loser is out, some can come back next year, and more, there is no chance to come again.
The terrifying momentum and huge TIFO at the Westfa Lun did give Real Madrid's starting players great psychological pressure.
But they are more mentally tough and more capable than they thought!
Because they represent Real Madrid.
At this moment, they represent the glory and dignity of the king of the Champions League!
Every Real Madrid player responded with a calm and confident level look when the live camera swept over.
They did not look down on their opponents at this moment.
But they were not intimidated by the Westfalen home stadium.
They were ready.
In this great and majestic stadium, on the territory that Dortmund is most proud of.
They will go all out to give Dortmund the most respectful and tragic defeat!
Such momentum and determination can be felt by the audience.
From the first second of the game, the players in the frontcourt of Real Madrid launched an oppressive pressing defense against Dortmund who kicked off.
Not only Essien and Li Ang who started the game, but also Benzema and Ronaldo, every player in the frontcourt of Real Madrid was involved in the fight for the ball!
This positive pressing posture made Dortmund's players feel familiar quickly.
Because they usually target their opponents in this way!
And now it is their turn to endure such defensive targeting. To be honest, the rhythm adaptation is adaptation, but in terms of direct physical confrontation, Dortmund's offensive players lost.
They failed to quickly cross the center line and launch a threatening attack as usual.
Li Ang and Essien were in the middle, and one of them was behind to defend on the left, which made Gotze and Reus suffer from the confrontation.
The slightly rough defensive action made Li Ang and Essien soon booed by the Dortmund fans.
But neither of them cared.
Li Ang even smiled at Gotze who was lying on the ground after being penalized for a foul by the referee.
This scene was caught by the live camera, and the fans of the Hornets became even more furious.
Li Ang, is this a provocation to them by Westfalen? !
Boos, boos everywhere!
Even after the game resumed, there was no sign of stopping.
After spending more time and energy than usual, Dortmund finally scored a preliminary goal in Real Madrid's half.
But for them, the test has just begun.
Reus finally succeeded in getting rid of Essien's close defense. He did not covet the ball and quickly passed it to Lewandowski who came out of the penalty area to receive the ball.
The little rocket was still moving flexibly, trying to get to the front of Real Madrid's penalty area.
But Lewandowski couldn't pass the ball.
Alonso's tough top defense and Li Ang's quick pursuit completed a textbook double-team defense against him!
Lewandowski, who fell to the ground, did not wait for the referee's whistle this time.
Li Ang, who had already quickly passed the ball to the wing, shook his head.
That expression seemed to say:
Is this all your offensive routine?
Come on, show your real skills!
Let's attack the defending champion!
