Chapter 240 Fighting Real Madrid Again

On April 4th, in the 20th round of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund played at home against Mainz.

Because the first round of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid is four days later, Klopp has carried out a relatively large rotation in this league to deal with the Champions League game.

Of course, the starting player Klopp also asked everyone to go all out to win this league.Because Bayern Munich has been chasing after him, he must not be careless.

美因茨果然从沃尔夫斯堡身上学到了如何死守，在这场比赛里一样摆出了532的无锋极致死守阵型，并将0-0的比分一直维持到了下半场第74分钟，才被程海通过一次直奔死角的任意球改写为1-0。

Although the goal was conceded, this is a league game, not a cup game, so Mainz did not attack because the score was behind, but continued to defend.

In the end, Dortmund only won a small 1-0 victory in this league, which caused many media to say after the game: The Hornets are in an offensive dilemma.

Compared with scoring four or five goals in the previous game, Dortmund scored too few goals in these two games.

The practices of Wolfsburg and Mainz provide a certain reference for the opponents behind Dortmund.

Even with the honor of Real Madrid, it has been affected.

On April 4, Bayern Munich played against Barcelona in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

What no one expected was that after 90 minutes, the score on the big screen turned out to be 4-0: Bayern Munich beat Barcelona with 4 goals at home, almost killing the suspense of the second round.

This made Real Madrid coach Mourinho more cautious, and even more afraid to attack the Hornets at the Westfalenstadion, for fear of a tragedy like Barcelona.

4月24日晚上20:45，随着主裁判的一声哨响，多特蒙德VS皇家马德里的2012/2013欧冠半决赛第一回合比赛在威斯特fa伦球场正式开始。

Although Real Madrid did not put up the ultimate no-front defensive formation like Wolfsburg and Mainz, they still focused on defense and put up a 541 defensive counterattack formation. The only forward is Ronaldo.

This is the first round, and it is an away game. Mourinho, who was bloodbathed by Dortmund 13-5 in two rounds in the group stage, has a shadow in his heart.

If you lose a lot in the first round, return to the home court and attack again in the second round.If you don't lose much and can even draw with Dortmund, then the second round is another tactic.

Real Madrid's defense is naturally much more luxurious than that of Wolfsburg and Mainz. Whether it is a goalkeeper or a defender, neither Wolfsburg and Mainz can be compared.

Casillas, Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho, Essien, Khedira, Alonso, Modric, etc., all of them are resounding superstars.

In everyone's mind, even if there is one more striker Ronaldo and one less defensive player, it is enough to block Dortmund's attack.

Even many media and fans who have long been displeased with Dortmund's dominance in football are already looking forward to Real Madrid's ability to block Dortmund's attack while using counterattacks to break through Dortmund's goal and win the away game, returning to the home court in the second round to eliminate Dortmund.

However, the trend of the game surprised everyone.

Although Real Madrid did protect the penalty area better and did not give Cheng Hai or Lewandowski too many opportunities, but outside the penalty area, Real Madrid gave Dortmund too many free kick opportunities.

Of course, in fact, there is too much to say, and it does not exist, but on the one hand, this is Dortmund's home court, and the referee must have a tendency when whistled.On the other hand, it was also because Cheng Hai's free kick was so good today.

In the previous two games, Cheng Hai also took several free kicks, but failed to score a single goal, which gave everyone the illusion that the tactics of Wolfsburg and Mainz were close to success.

As a result, today, Cheng Hai used a few desperate free kicks to tell everyone a fact: Facing Dortmund led by Cheng Hai, it is impossible to defend Dortmund just by shrinking.

In the 24th minute, Essien pulled down Gundogan, who was breaking through with the ball, and won Cheng Hai's first threatening free kick.

Real Madrid's previous fouls were all on the wing or in the midfield where there was little threat, but this time Essien finally gave Dortmund a threatening free kick.

The ball was about 27 meters away from the goal on the left side of the front of the penalty area, and it was indeed within the range of Cheng Hai's free kick.

Cheng Hai didn't waste this opportunity, and sent the ball directly into Real Madrid's goal with a beautiful and powerful arc shot.

Although Iker Casillas reacted to the save immediately, Cheng Hai's shot was too powerful and the angle was too tricky. San Cassie still couldn't touch the ball after all, and could only stand in the air and watch the ball go into the net.

1-0!

This is the first time Dortmund has taken the lead in the first half of the last three games. The entire Westfalenstadion exploded instantly, and all the players and fans fell into a carnival.

The faces of Real Madrid's players looked a bit ugly, but the Champions League semi-finals are played in two rounds, and the outcome is not determined by this game.Therefore, they were not too flustered, and the next game was still the same as before, sticking to their own penalty area and avoiding Cheng Hai's opportunity.

Cheng Hai did not find a chance to score in the sports game. The three central defenders formed by the three superstars Ramos, Carvalho and Pepe blocked the penalty area tightly.

Coupled with the assistance of two full-backs, midfielders and others, Cheng Hai and Lewandowski could hardly find any chances to shoot in the penalty area.

And the long-range shot from outside the penalty area, under the interference of Real Madrid's extremely shrinking defense and these famous defenders, and Saint Cassie's goalkeeping, has not been able to score a goal.

However, although Dortmund's offensive attack was blocked, Real Madrid still couldn't do it in defense.

In the 44th minute, when the first half was about to end, Cheng Hai made a subtle dribble past two people at the front of the penalty area, causing panic in Real Madrid's defense.

The third monk, Pepe, who was about to be broken through by Cheng Hai with the skill of flicking the cow's tail, saw that something was wrong, subconsciously shoveled Cheng Hai to the ground from the side with a sliding shovel.

This not only allowed Pepe to get a yellow card, but also gave Cheng Hai a free kick about 20 meters from the goal on the right side of the top of the penalty area.

The distance is a bit close, but it is also a good opportunity.

Casillas also understood that although the ball was a bit close, as long as Cheng Hai stood behind the penalty spot, it would definitely hit the goal without thinking about it.

Therefore, Cassie sent out the six tallest teammates in the team to form a human wall, hoping to use the advantage of the height of the human wall and the problem of being too close to make Cheng Hai return without success this time.

In Cheng Hai's past history of free kicks, although free kicks at this distance also scored goals, the scoring rate was not high.

Casillas hopes that this time he will not let himself encounter the bad luck of Cheng Hai scoring in this position and distance.
