Chapter 463 A Completely Different Game

Dortmund's fierce attack quickly aroused Manchester United's blood.

Having faced so many challenges from Champions League opponents this season, they have yet to encounter such a crazy and pressing opponent. Although Ferguson had emphasized this before the game, the Red Devils' unyielding spirit still came up at this moment.

They have the super striker Qin who has this season's European Golden Boot, Premier League Golden Boot and Champions League Golden Boot in their team. In addition to Qin, they also have last season's Premier League Golden Boot Van Persie and the team's little tank Rooney who has scored double digits of goals all year round.

Just kidding, Manchester United has never been afraid of anyone in terms of offense.

So, as De Gea roared loudly and threw the ball out again, Manchester United's front trident started. They were arranged in 4231 and quickly changed to 4213 with the rapid insertion of Rooney and Van Persie.

"Manchester United did not just shrink their defense, they chose to use fierce attacks to make their opponents afraid to act rashly!"

We are not afraid of the team's counterattack, but we are afraid of Manchester United being timid. This is the case in Barcelona's disastrous defeat to Dortmund. When facing the Hornets' crazy pressing and fast break, they chose to stabilize the situation and wait for opportunities.

Then the opponent scored the first goal. With the goal, Dortmund's momentum became uncontrollable, and Barcelona lost its only chance to avoid collapse from the beginning.

The ball was quickly passed to Carrick's feet. As the team's offensive organizer, he kept his eyes on the field without stopping. As a result, when Gundogan rushed up to interfere with him, he had already passed the ball diagonally to Rooney on the left.

"Rooney got the ball on the left side. His position was very forward. Schmelzer and Sven Bender came towards him and pushed the ball forward along the side. His body instantly came into contact with Schmelzer!"

In a direct collision, Rooney and the Hornets' defender had a head-on confrontation. Both of them were very strong, but it seemed that Rooney still had a slight advantage because he sprinted a distance in advance with the ball.

It was this tiny advantage that allowed Rooney to find a chance to pass the ball again. As Sven Bender rushed over, he stopped the ball at his feet and then knocked it to the right.

"Nice move! Carrick followed up and got the ball again. Rooney's move this time can be described as rough but delicate."

"Shu~"

Before Zhan Jun finished speaking, Carrick, who got the ball on the left, passed the ball in front of Gundogan. Gundogan ran with endless energy but was repeatedly fooled by the experienced midfielder and he failed to touch the ball again.

"Directly pass the ball to the middle, the target is Qin Hu!"

"Oh!"

This time, Hummels, who was well prepared, finally did not let Qin Hu find space to attack easily. He held Qin Hu's body tightly and tried to clear the ball directly over his head. Unfortunately, the height of Qin Hu's jump gave him a severe shock.

"Qin Hu headed the ball. He was a whole head taller than Hummels. Although he failed to score, he successfully sent the ball to the right!"

The next second, as the camera turned sharply, people saw Piszczek entangled with Van Persie. The defender tried to grab and pull but still failed to stop Van Persie's header that he threw his whole body out.

"Header shot, Van Persie!" In an instant, the enemy was at the gate of the city again. Manchester United's attack was very unreasonable. After leaving Van Persie's head, the ball flew to the left side of the goal.

"Weidenfeller! He used extreme movement to save the ball~"

Fortunately, at this moment, the Dortmund captain showed his ability. He jumped forward and fell to the left side of the goal and finally pushed the ball out with his fingertips.

Even this time Weidenfeller's save did not prevent the ball from going out of bounds. Hummels rushed back quickly, turned around and kicked the ball away. At this moment, Dortmund's crisis in front of the goal was over.

However, everything continued in the following time, and the players of both sides became more and more excited in the fierce attack that constantly threatened the opponent's goal, which directly led to the fact that this offensive battle could not be stopped at all.

From the 20th to the 30th and 40th minutes of the game, both teams were attacking all the time. They switched between offense and defense at a frequency of almost like you just shot a shot and I followed up with a beautiful counterattack, which made all the fans watching the game dazzled.

When the shooting data of both sides was placed in front of Zhan Jun in the 40th minute of the game, he was also extremely surprised.

"Dear viewers, the number of shots between the two teams since the start of the game has reached 17-13. Dortmund fired shots in just minutes, while their opponent Manchester United fired shots."

This was a game that was completely different from all previous Champions League finals. Zhan Jun was certain of this from the moment he saw the data in front of him. He had been a commentator for many years and had watched many Champions League finals, but no two teams had ever been able to produce such data in just 40 minutes.

"However, Dortmund trailed Manchester United 8-10 in terms of shots on target. Although the Red Devils had fewer shots, their shots on target rate was quite high. The shot that Qin Hu hit the post was the closest they ever got to scoring."

Dortmund's tactical thinking is clearly reflected in this data. Klopp's requirement for the team is to do everything possible to create shooting opportunities and then shoot, using numerous attacks to suppress the opponent, and for this they can sacrifice a certain degree of shooting accuracy.

However, it is obvious that the second half of the sentence sacrificed shooting accuracy, but the first half of the sentence failed to suppress the opponent with numerous attacks.

The Hornets' high pressing was very ferocious, but it was difficult for them to perfectly take care of their own backcourt. Manchester United's trident almost seized every opportunity of the team's counterattack to try to create threats, and their situation on the field did not seem to be suppressed at all.

"It seems that the goal of the Hornets to suppress their opponents and make it difficult for them to fight back is difficult to achieve in this game. Oh~, here comes another counterattack opportunity for Manchester United!"

Just as Zhan Jun was expressing his emotion, Dortmund's fierce attack on the field finally entered a breathing period. Their another attack was ruthlessly blocked by Fletcher when it just reached Gotze's starting point.

As Fletcher stood up and passed the ball to Scholes, the veteran ran forward with the ball.

"The defensive midfielder directly dribbled forward. Manchester United's counterattack did not take the long pass route. Qin Hu and the other four all burst forward at an astonishing speed. They did not give the Hornets' defense time to prepare!"

Today's update is here! Thank you all for your support!!! (I have to work overtime on May Day, I can't do it anymore, I wish you all a happy holiday~)
