The clean free kick, arc and drop are also speechless.
Totti jumped towards Dejan Lu excitedly.
The Little Prince is always so passionate.
Westfalenstadion There were bursts of boos.
This scene was really familiar to them.
Dejan Lu wore a different color jersey last time, but he also suppressed Dortmund in the opening game.
The whole world knows what happened next. Dortmund was bloodbathed in two rounds.
Hitzfeld I am really helpless at this time.
Going to kick AC Milan Sammer is injured.
Although Sammer did not beat Dejan Lu, the level is there.
Sammer is no less important than Rijkaard is to that Ajax.
The lack of one defender simply changed Dortmund's defensive system.
Except for Sammer, Dortmund and even Germany currently cannot find a free agent of the same level.
Buffon was watching the TV in the hotel, tears welling up in his eyes.
After all, he is still a young man who has just arrived at a wealthy family.
This time the blow was huge for him.
Buffon is very suspicious now. Totti ate more sausages than him. Why is it okay?
Is it true that fools don't catch colds, so illiterate people don't get sick easily?
Next time he goes to an away game, he must eat the same thing as Dejan Lu.
Players from both sides returned to midfield again.
The faces of Dortmund's geniuses were obviously unhappy.
The Little Prince and Andy Müller looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they didn't like each other.
It's no wonder that Müller has talent, but his achievements are limited to that.
Just in terms of mentality, I am not very good. I have been famous for a long time and I am still angry with young people.
You can't still be a child.
It had been several years since we last met, and he had already been famous for a long time by then.
I can only say that the players' personalities have a great influence on them.
The saying that character determines destiny has been infinitely magnified in football.
Who wouldn't be so damn proud? You are so proud that you have the hard work and spirit to deserve this pride.
After Ma Dazui, Germany's players are still poor.
The midfielder of Dortmund restarted the kick, Herrlich quickly returned the pass, and Andy Müller took the ball and took the initiative to pull aside to find Dejan Lu.
His dribbling is gorgeous, has the shadow of South American football and is practical, otherwise he would not be favored by so many German celebrities.
Dejan Lu felt that the opponent's body balance was excellent.
1.74 meters is not very tall, but it is still slightly taller than many dribbling masters.
Andy Müller can often adjust quickly when changing rhythms. This is because of his excellent body balance and coordination.
Müller did not take small steps or use speed to create changes this time. He directly stopped the ball in front of Dejan Lu and let the ball dangle with one foot.
A very South American and provocative move.
"Andy!"
"Andy!"
"Andy!"
Westfalenstadion cheered.
Apparently the Dortmund players liked what he did.
Ronaldinho also likes to play this action, and Neymar also likes to play.
Ronaldinho plays a little more powerfully.
In fact, it is similar to other technical movements. The main purpose is to attract the opponent's kick, determine the opponent's steal direction and avoid it.
Dejan Lu I feel unsure after just thinking about it for a moment.
Just stand there without moving.
Müller felt something was wrong after shaking his foot a few times. He glared at Dejan Lu and moved his left foot to start.
Redondo has already come up, how can we give him a chance.
The speed of dribbling the ball has not increased, Redondo is really accurate with every shovel.
The ball was shoveled directly behind Müller, and Dejan Lu started to easily get the ball.
The Dortmund fans who were cheering just now were like ducks whose throats were pinched and suddenly lost their voice.
"Follow back, chase back quickly!"
Hitzfeld shouted in horror.
Dejan Lu's explosive power is so powerful that he rushed through the midfield almost instantly.
The pace is not big, but the cadence is fast.
Lars Ricken, who was chasing after him, kept running back desperately after being left behind, but the distance between him and Dejan Lu was still getting bigger and bigger.
Before Reuter could wait for any action, Dejan Lu broke through it head-on.
The all-rounder could only turn around and chase.
Snap——
It's a pity that Dejan Lu doesn't want to dribble the ball.
While running, the outside instep of his right foot sent a pass.
The arc of this ground-to-ground pass was very exaggerated. It rolled past Reuter and then bypassed Martin Kerry in the middle and quickly rolled into the penalty area.
Kohler is still running back.
But his bulky body slowed him down.
Even players who are not good at speed can surpass him. The young and capable Totti looks like Michael Owen in front of him. He rushes from behind Kohler to in front of him and successfully catches the ball in almost an instant.
This time Kohler behind him pushed him. Totti failed to stop the ball immediately. Instead, he was forced to take two steps forward with the ball.
However, Totti is Totti. The goalkeeper has already attacked in front of him. He still calmly passed the ball with his right foot to his left foot. Facing the goalkeeper, he succeeded in pushing the ball with his left foot into the far corner, changing the score again.
After scoring the goal, the Little Prince rushed to the home fans' stands to celebrate wildly.
When rival fans are too passionate, Totti can easily get carried away.
Not only did the whole person jump up, but he also performed the Shenglong Fist to raise his arms passionately.
Such an action naturally resulted in even louder boos.
Dejan Lu doesn't really care.
It's not a bad thing for players with quality to have character.
If you average 1.7 goals per game, ordering takeout every day and skipping the canteen, or arriving late and leaving early to play games, it's just a small matter. In the final analysis, your status depends on your strength. This is true in football.
"Goal!!!"
"Francesco·Totti!"
"Dejan sent a wonderful assist. Totti did a good job grabbing the point this time, but Dejan's pass is a work of art. If the credit for the goal is divided into ten parts, Dejan has about 70% of the credit for this goal."
"Many players will pass the through ball. However, when your angle is not good or you cannot adjust the through ball, it will be passed wide or directly to the goalkeeper. Dejan passed the ball in a similar situation, but he solved the problem with a curved ground ball, allowing the ball to bypass all defensive players and not pass to the goalkeeper immediately."
"Just this pass requires many years of practice. The usage rate of the outside instep is quite low in football."
Cruyff is right to the point.
This ball was passed against the outside of the foot when someone was harassing it, but it was still so accurate.
This is the scariest thing about Dejan Lu.
Regardless of whether he is playing with the right foot or the reverse foot, inside or outside the instep, he is extremely stable, as if the difficulty of playing football is the same regardless of the way he plays.
This is the scariest thing.
How can the outer instep and the inner instep be equally difficult?
Even fans who don't know much about football can see the difference in the status of the aces of the two teams.
When a Dortmund player takes a ball, his brows are so frowning that they could kill a fly.
Dejan Lu takes a leisurely stroll at any time.
The two goals in the opening stage still stunned Dortmund.
Sebastian Rossi also looked resentful.
After finally becoming the starting goalkeeper for once, I wanted to perform to prove myself.
Not to mention completely suppressing Buffon, at least regain the main position for a while.
But the teammates were like animals, not giving Dortmund a chance to attack.
Rossi and Dejan Lu didn't play much together, and he lost his main position not long after the beginning of the season.
So he is very sensitive to changes in the team.
Paolo Maldini has a much larger range of activities than before, and the upper-level attack often goes near the midline.
This style of play is somewhat radical in itself.
Other full-backs go up to assist and counter-attack, but you go directly to the midfield to press.
In addition to having confidence in himself, it should also be the confidence that Dejan Lu gave him.
Even if a mistake occurs and the team loses the ball, Dejan Lu will still score back.
The Dortmund players who restarted the kick seemed to have lead under their feet.
Counterattack is the foundation of football, but not many teams can play positional warfare well.
Without Sammer, they almost completely switched to ground coordination. When faced with a pressing return pass, no one could give them a quick and accurate long pass in the backcourt.
Paolo Sousa received the ball in the midfield and distributed it to the left. Heinrich wanted to try to use speed to break through.
Baggio's defense was a little worse, but Albertini immediately stepped up to defend.
Heinrich changed his rhythm slightly, passing the ball and knocking it behind Albertini.
Albertini opened his arms as he turned around, trying to stop Heinrich from rushing forward, but this time Andy Müller did pull over to get the ball.
Müller still found an opening.
Panucci chose to stretch his feet the first time he caught the ball.
Andy Müller made a move to cut inside but went directly to the bottom. After getting out of the angle, he immediately passed the ball.
The air defense ability of this Milan team is really a problem. Herrlich and Chapuisat in the middle hit the goal.
Their height does not have much advantage, but a single Heike·Herrlich is enough as the absolute height, and Switzerland and Chapuisat are just wingmen.
With a height of 1.86 meters, he is the sky in Milan's penalty area.
Taking advantage of the inertia of running, Herrlich jumped up with a shake of his head. Baresi took off a step too slowly and failed to touch the ball.
Rossi turned sideways in fear, because he rushed forward to clear the ball, but the opponent's header was one step faster than him, and there was already an empty goal behind him.
Fortunately, Herrlich did not hit the ball correctly this time, and the ball hit the left post and went out of the baseline.
"It was a little bit close. Dortmund was almost able to get a goal back."
"AC Milan It is urgent to improve the air defense ability. In almost every game, there will be scenes where the opponent has an advantage in crosses from the wing and high-altitude balls. Once or twice can be said to be a mistake, but often, it only proves that Milan's defensive ability has problems, and has been exploited by many opponents."
Cruyff said.
He has no problem with the team's two main centre-backs.
But what he said is true.
If the ability to prevent high-altitude balls is not strengthened, the team will lose points in this area sooner or later.
Rossi wanted to throw the ball out quickly, but the ball boy at home did not cooperate and instead kept holding the ball to delay time.
Referee Lao Maozi couldn't stand it any longer. He went up to signal for a quick kickoff, and the ball boy threw the ball at the feet of Rossi.
"Damn, their caddies are trained."
Rossi said bitterly.
At this time, there was no way to break fast, and the Dortmund players returned to half court.
In a few seconds of delay, dozens of meters passed.
"Relax man."
Baresi smiled and comforted, "We are in the lead anyway, it would be better for them to waste all their time."
Rossi rolled his eyes and said nothing.
Can that be the same?
It is better for the opponent to waste time with the ball.
We kept attacking with the ball. If we hadn't lost more than 10 seconds, maybe the team would have widened the score gap again.
Rossi understands this very clearly.
He has really grown a lot during his time on the bench.
I also learned something from Buffon.
Rossi cares not about a fast break, but about his performance opportunities.
Buffon also often shows up in the offense, throwing long-distance hand throws or quickly driving out to find the frontcourt.
He didn't perform well on both offense and defense today. How can he convince Sacchi to continue to believe in him?
Sebastian Rossi threw the ball out with some frustration. Paolo Maldini caught the ball and passed it sideways without rushing to attack.
After all, Serie A teams are not a whirlwind and fast-playing school.
Milan was just held hostage by Redondo and Dejan Lu.
The only way to get the ball is to move forward and pass various long-distance fast passes. It would be strange if the rhythm cannot be picked up.
After all, Dejan Lu is rarely intercepted, and Milan players have no objections to this mode.
Stability also means waiting to create opportunities.
Dejan Lu makes various breakthroughs when he gets the ball and creates opportunities.
A few minutes later, the two sides fought hard in the midfield. Totti pulled down Lambert, and Dortmund won a free kick near the midfield.
They simply played it as a restart.
Herrlich deliberately avoided Andy when passing back the ball. Müller passed it to Sosa.
As an old teammate, he is very familiar with Müller.
Today it is impossible for Müller to give his best performance.
He was a little worried that Müller kept giving away the ball.
Sosa must have had the same idea. He deliberately took an extra step to pass out of the angle to Lambert instead of Müller, which made the German genius a little annoyed.
Lambert and Ricken moved forward together, and their frequent one-twos really broke through Milan's defense.
Lambert, who was pulled to the wing, started to pass and was blocked by Paolo Maldini.
The ball reached the lower left corner of the center circle.
Players from both sides fought fiercely.
However, in Milan's half, they were still at a numerical disadvantage.
Redondo held the ball firmly and was about to organize, but found Dejan Lu who was retreating right in front of him, so he simply handed the ball to Dejan Lu with his instep.
Sosa wanted to take advantage of the limited vision when Dejan Lu turned to catch the ball, but Dejan Lu paid attention to protecting the ball when he turned sideways. Paolo Sosa's sliding tackle failed to touch the ball.
Sosa quickly stood up and Ricken prepared to close the door to defend.
Dejan Lu didn't have time to wait for the two of them to adjust, so he kicked off with both feet as soon as he accelerated.
Reuter, who came up to assist, could only secretly curse his teammates as trash, and pounced on Dejan Lu from the side along the center line.
Dejan Lu dribbles the ball diagonally all the way.
Lambert on the other side came up to defend, and Dejan Lu still passed the ball in advance.
Snap——
This time it was passed directly from the left to the right of the frontcourt. The arc of the ball was not large, but Totti came up very quickly.
Kohler tried to block Dejan Lu's pass, but unfortunately failed.
Instead, he let the ball roll into the penalty area from in front of him.
Before he could react, Totti had already rushed to get the ball, and when he got to the penalty area, he fired a powerful shot.
"The ball is in!"
"Totti scored his second goal of the day, and it was another assist from Dejan. Dejan Lu's passing position was precise, and Martin Kerry was obviously frightened. When he reacted, it was too late. The ball hit his calf but he failed to stop it. He still let the ball accurately find Baggio who was advancing forward."
"Baggio still chose a small angle in this situation. It can only be said that the genius is surrounded by crazy people. Fortunately, he really succeeded in sending the ball from between the goalkeeper and the post into the goal."
"Dortmund In terms of coaches, players or fans, they are all ready for a fierce battle, and may even leave the suspense until the next round. But looking at the current situation, Dortmund should have no chance."
"Three away goals have almost confirmed Milan's promotion."
Dortmund fans who had been encouraging the team remained silent.
Scoring is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is the scene.
At least you can't lose too ugly. Attacks come and go, and even if there are fewer counterattacks, it won't be a problem.
It sounds nice to say it.
Judging from the current score, Dortmund cannot escape being bloodbathed again today.
Even ordinary fans understand this very well.
"Marco, when will we replace Dejan today?"
"I think earlier would be better."
Tardelli said, "Although Buffon and Totti ate more, Dejan probably also ate when he was in the hotel. We cannot guarantee that he will not have problems during the game. What if he eats less and develops symptoms at this time?"
Sacchi nodded.
As long as your luck is not too bad, the situation mentioned by Tardelli should not happen.
But a truly smart person will never pin his future on luck.
"Edgar, get up and warm up."
Sacchi turned around and said.
Davis will be replaced later, allowing Baggio to return to his familiar left wing, which will just strengthen Milan's defense.
Baggio and Albertini plus Panucci, the defensive capabilities of the three are still a bit poor.
The Dortmund players were all dejected.
Losing the ball one after another is still very frustrating.
No one wanted to kick off the ball. Shortly after kicking off, the ball came to the feet of Müller.
Müller chose to go it alone this time and advance with the ball by himself.
He is still very good at changing rhythm, making his changes of direction look more confusing than ordinary people.
After passing Totti, he simply accelerated and took the initiative to find Albertini.
After Albertini was deceived out of his center of gravity, Müller decisively sent a through ball.
The penetrating power of this kick was also very strong, but Baresi stretched out his foot to successfully block it.
Baresi took the ball and passed it to Paolo Maldini.
Paolo Maldini dribbles the ball forward in small steps.
You can't start a fast break without assisting your teammates. It's better to wait for your teammates to press forward.
Lars Ricken presses very hard.
Even more desperate than in the opening stage.
It must have been stimulated.
Paolo Maldini saw this and made a diagonal pass. Redondo caught the ball and subconsciously looked for Dejan Lu, only to find that the opponent's defense was in a high position again.
idiot!
Redondo cursed secretly and rubbed his right foot, and the ball quickly flew behind Dortmund's defense. Totti and Van Basten were a step too slow when they were trying to grab the point, and Kroos successfully picked the ball off.
The continuous high-intensity offensive and defensive transitions require players on both sides to recover a little bit.
The scene was not as intense as the opening scene.
Dejan Lu simply returned to the half-court and organized together with Redondo and Albertini.
Totti chose to pull the edge with a wink.
Even if Dejan Lu prepares to attack, Dejan Lu is left in the middle.
After all, Dejan Lu has better dribbling ability and is easier to create opportunities in the middle.
"Shh!"
Milan was reluctant to move forward after taking the ball, and Westfalenstadion fans began to curse.
If you're three ahead, you think you're safe, right?
Give me some chance.
If AC Milan starts to defend firmly from now on, they may not be able to score.
Otherwise, counterattack is the essence of football.
Even if they don't want to, Dortmund players can only press forward and grab.
With fewer people, the pressing can't put pressure on Milan.
Paul Lambert was swimming next to Albertini. He felt that this was the weakest part of Milan's midfield.
Redondo saw this and kicked forward. Dejan Lu caught the ball and started to move forward.
Even if you don't run forward with all your strength, you can still advance very quickly.
Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Hitzfeld shouted loudly from the sidelines, "Don't let him get the ball in the middle so close to our penalty area. Don't give Dejan a chance."
If we lose the ball again, there will really be no hope at all.
Paolo Sosa and Reuter rushed towards Dejan Lu almost at the same time.
Snap——
Dejan Lu pushed sideways with the instep of his foot and sent out a ground-cutting kick.
Today Milan's long-distance passing also relies more on the ground.
Totti picked up the ball on the wing and was targeted by Ricken who returned to the half court.
However, the Little Prince also has no sticky ball, and Redondo comes up with a cool horizontal knock.
Sacchi stared at the field, a little worried.
The players press forward too much and may lose the ball if they are hit on counterattack.
Redondo and Albertini both ran to the other side's half.
Ricken chose to chase the ball this time and rushed towards Redondo.
Redondo divides the sides and continues to look for Totti. The two began to cooperate frequently on the left, which inevitably forced Dortmund's defense to press on this side.
Reuter chased back, Totti turned around and kicked the ball back.
You must be patient during positional warfare.
Players from both sides piled into Dortmund's half.
The coaches of both teams were equally worried.
Maybe this time it will be an opportunity for one side.
Lambert chased the ball and rushed towards Redondo. He was at a numerical disadvantage in the opponent's half. When Redondo caught the ball, Lambert was already in front of him.
Redondo made a very cunning move to knock Albertini across the floor, but took advantage of Lambert's dazed effort to start dribbling the ball from his side to the top of the key.
This frightened the Dortmund players and they rushed towards the center like crazy.
At this time, Redondo showed a cruel smile.
Snap,
With a crisp sound, the ball rolled sideways on the turf.
Dejan Lu, who has not been on camera for a while, is standing on the right to receive the ball. Panucci, who has penetrated forward, is still rushing forward, preparing to go to the front to respond.
But I didn't expect that Dejan Lu had no intention of continuing to delay time.
He pushed the ball forward with his left foot, caught up with the ball in small steps, swung his arm and pumped it up with his right foot.
Bang——
Rub the inside instep and toes for a long shot.
The ball flew straight from the right to the left of the penalty area. Because the height was high enough, players from both sides could not touch it. Kroos knew something was wrong when he took off. The ball fell later than he thought. The Dortmund goalkeeper could only watch with regret as the ball flew past his hands and fell into the goal.
Silence!
Westfalenstadion It seems like it's a non-match day.
The voices of the home fans stopped abruptly.
Sacchi has pushed Davis to the sidelines, AC Milan is finally going to make a substitution, but even so, Dortmund fans know that the two rounds of the game are probably over...
