Chapter 299 Klopp's target

After returning from Manchester, Southampton took a short rest and began to prepare for the game against Dortmund.

In the last round of Dortmund's victory over Marseille in the away game, the main goalkeeper and the head coach were both unable to play. It proved that Marseille may indeed be weak, and it also proved that Dortmund is indeed very strong. The previous loss to Naples should be occasional Something went wrong.

Although Southampton kicked Naples [-]-[-] in the last round like cutting melons and vegetables, it does not prove that Southampton can beat Dortmund at home.

And six games, three home games, two home games against two strong teams in the first three rounds, if this game cannot be won, the subsequent games will actually be very difficult.

"It's good for us that Piszczek can't play, but they have Gross Kreutz in the midfield. The big cross is a rare versatile player who can play in any position, so the right back will not become their weakness. In terms of field, their midfielders are very skilled, Gundogan, Sven? And Lewandowski, he is always a dangerous guy, but it doesn't matter, our strength is stronger than them, let them see, what is a top attack!"

Kiya waved his fist and shouted in the locker room, and the players also waved their fists.

"Three in a row! Three in a row!"

That's right, three consecutive victories is the result they most want to achieve. Although this group seems to be very close in strength, three consecutive victories may not be able to gain much advantage in advance, but it is better to get three points than just one point!

Amidst the loud cheers from the fans at St. Mary's Stadium, the players from both sides appeared on the field, and the head coaches of both sides also appeared...

"You didn't add the suspension, UEFA is really lenient." Ji Ya said when shaking hands with Klopp.

"We were wronged by those two red cards, and one game suspension is enough!" Klopp said.

"It doesn't matter, it's best if all of you can play, and let you know that our Southampton is invincible!" Ji Ya said.

"Then we'll see." Klopp said equally viciously.

"I heard that the relationship between Ji Ya and Klopp is not bad. Why are they so incompatible now? But it's normal. There are no friends in the stadium. They may go for a drink after the game, but at this time they will definitely fight to the death... Both sides have come up with all the main players in this game. Southampton even sent most of the substitutes in the last round of away game against Manchester United for this game! Otherwise, they would not play against Manchester United in the away game draw……"

The Manchester United fans who were shot innocently scolded one after another-what do you mean?Will Southampton's main force be able to beat us?

"Southampton's starting lineup... goalkeeper Navas, defenders Clyne, Luke Shaw, Fonte, Otamendi, midfielders Casemiro, Mkhitaryan, Kevin De Bruyne, forward Hame Rodriguez, Lukaku, Suarez! Dortmund's starting lineup has not changed much. Goalkeeper Weidenfeller returned to the position of main goalkeeper after the suspension, and the right back is 'Grand Cross' Grosk Leutz, left back Schmelzer, central defender Hummels and Subotic, midfielder Sahin, Sven Bender, Gundogan, two wings are Aubameyang and Reus, forward Leo Wantuqian!"

Players from both sides scattered on the field and began to prepare for the game. Judging from the formation, the two sides seem to be relatively close, almost a four-three-three formation, but it is obvious that Dortmund's two sides are closer to the side, while Southampton Dun's two so-called side lanes can actually be played in the middle lane.

Their sideways are driven by the forward assists of the fullbacks. Ronaldo and Lukaku are very flexible in their positions. They can be organized on the sideways or in the middle, or they can grab points in the penalty area.

Of course, Klopp will not fail to notice this, but Dortmund's defense is still very strong, especially the two central defenders, both are tall players with good movement on their feet, and they are excellent in frontal confrontation and lateral movement. Too worried about Southampton's offense.

He just feels that Southampton's defense is a bit difficult to deal with now.

After Casemiro became the main force, his sweeping and holding the ball in the midfield can reduce the burden on the defense line, and the cooperation between the two central defenders Fonte and Otamendi is getting better and better. This made Southampton's defense improve really quickly.

The league has only conceded three goals so far. This is not like Southampton in the past two years...

The characteristic of Southampton in the first two years was that they scored more goals and conceded more goals.

And this year it's like a different team, scoring more goals and conceding fewer goals!

The reason for this is not only because Casemiro has better protection in the midfield and the central defender plays better, but the most important thing is the change in tactics and the addition of a player who seems to have nothing to do with defense.

De Bruyne.

His ability to take the ball, control the ball, distribute the ball, and pass the ball in the midfield allows Ji Ya to adopt ball-handling tactics more boldly. The ball-handling tactic is actually a tactic that depends on the player. Guardiola is in Barcelona. If there is no Without a midfielder like Habaibu, it is still difficult for him to successfully use his ball-handling tactics.

It is not because of the ball-handling tactics that Habaibu has achieved, but because of the existence of Habaib, the ball-handling tactics are so high that they can sweep the entire Europe for a period of time.

The joining of De Bruyne provides Ji Ya with such confidence.

So Klopp saw this, and he arranged for the interference of the midfielder in this game-although Dortmund's midfielder is a player with relatively high technical content, they are active in running and their defensive ability is not bad. .

Interfering with De Bruyne and striving to be in the midfield will have the advantage, disrupting Southampton's offense, and thus occupying the advantage of the game.

Klopp has been preparing for this game for a long time.

It has to be said that the effect of such tactics is immediate. After strengthening the pressure on De Bruyne, in order to avoid his own mistakes, De Bruyne reduced the number of times he took the ball. Southampton's offensive operation began to become a little insufficient .

After gradually taking the initiative in the midfield, Dortmund began to strengthen the pressing in the frontcourt.

It was through a pressing that Dortmund scored in the No.18 minute. Royce snatched the ball from Mkhitaryan's feet in the frontcourt, and then quickly passed the ball to Lewandowski in front. Lewandowski turned his back to the penalty area Take the ball, and then quickly divide the ball. After taking the ball, Jing Duoan, who followed up, took the ball and shot vigorously at the top of the penalty area!

The ball flew into the dead corner of the goal. Although Navas made a save, he still seemed a step too slow!

Dortmund lead [-]-[-] away!
