Chapter 150 Double-Edged Sword

A world wave.

Another world wave.

The ball shot straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball.

Although Lloris tried his best to save the ball, the shot was so powerful that the ball could not be changed by the strength of his fingertips.

This was Wang Po's second world wave in a row.

The deadlock was broken.

Dortmund, playing at home, led Tottenham Hotspur 1-0.

The first half of the game ended.

Tuchel was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, especially Wang Po's performance on the offensive end, which made Dortmund's forward line very threatening.

"Good job, guys, keep going in the second half~!"

Tuchel encouraged his players.

The second half began.

The Tottenham coach used up two substitutions in one go. In the midfield, Sissoko and Ali were placed in the defensive midfielder position, and the Premier League dribbling master Dembele came on the field. In the front field, the Danish Eriksson, who has the attributes of a front midfielder, took to the field.

The meaning is very clear, Pochettino wants to compete with Dortmund in the midfield.

As soon as they came up, Tottenham showed full aggression.

The solid defense of Ali and Sissoko allowed the attacking team led by Eriksson, Son Heung-min, and Harry Kane of Tottenham to push to the front of Dortmund's position with peace of mind.

Dembele was responsible for sorting out the ball in the back field and was the link between the offensive and defensive players.

Dortmund's goal was in danger.

Dembele used his skillful footwork to avoid the interception of Dortmund's midfielder, and made a long diagonal pass from a long distance to find Son Heung-min in the wing. The dribbling, speeding up, and one-on-one defense had no effect on Son Heung-min at all.

As a last resort, the Hornets' wing forwards and defensive midfielders often assist the full-backs in defense.

This exposed Eriksen in the middle, who is an extremely dangerous person.

Excellent vision and accurate passing are the foundation of the Danish Premier League. After receiving the pass from Son Heung-min in the middle, he kicked the ball directly to the back of the penalty area without stopping. Lucas, who was inserted in the back row, jumped high and pointed the ball back to the middle. Harry Kane rushed over and headed for the goal.

1 to 1.

Just 2 minutes into the second half, Tottenham Hotspurs quickly equalized the score.

The entire West Ham Stadium was silent.

Looking back at the entire scoring process of Tottenham, the transmission was smooth, the wing and the middle were combined, and it was done in one go.

After the change of sides, Dortmund's long pass from the backcourt was intercepted by Sissoko and immediately passed to Eriksen's feet. The latter half turned and passed the ball to Son Heung-min again. The latter suddenly accelerated and used his speed to eat the unstable Dortmund right back.

Facing the route blocked by the central defender, Son Heung-min chose to pass the ball to Eriksen who was ambushing in the middle.

Danger.

Wang Po had already smelled the smell of losing the ball and accelerated back to defense. Seeing Eriksen ready to shoot after getting the ball, Wang Po took the ball from behind and resolved the crisis in Dortmund's backcourt.

As the game progressed, Dortmund became more and more passive on the field.

The ball possession rate of 56% in the first half dropped to 45% in the second half, and the data continued to decline.

Facing Tottenham Hotspur's hard and soft midfield combination, Wang Po seemed to be a little alone and isolated.

With Dembele, it is difficult for Dortmund's defensive players to grab the ball. As long as the ball reaches Eriksen's feet, it is time to test Schmelzer.

The goal is in danger, and Tuchel on the sidelines fell into silence. He needs to make changes.

"Let me go back to the backcourt." This is the suggestion given by Wang Po.

Only when the backcourt can hold the ball can the pressure of the opponent's crazy attack be relieved.

Tuchel nodded and agreed with Wang Po's suggestion.

The position on the field changed. Wang Po, who was originally standing in front of the two back midfielders, stood on the same horizontal line with them, and together built the second line of defense in front of the back line.

Eriksen, a midfield master.

But there is a fatal flaw, afraid of close contact, which is the intelligence given by Wang Po's private team before the game.

Wang Po, who returned to the back midfield, chose to exchange with Eriksen in a man-to-man manner.

Sun Xingmin on the wing returned the ball to Eriksen in the middle in the same way. Wang Po started one step earlier and connected the ball. A big ball shook off Eriksen who was chasing.

Dortmund's formation finally bounced.

Ousmane Dembele on the wing moved and looked at Wang Po, ready to receive his pass at any time.

The same was true for Aubameyang in the center position, ready to counter offside at any time.

After the sudden acceleration, Wang Po decisively slowed down and passed a short pass to the center forward Aubameyang, who took the ball with his back and passed it back to Wang Po who was cutting and running. After getting the ball, a long diagonal pass passed in front of the Tottenham center back and went around to Ousmane Dembele's feet on the wing.

Oh, a master-level pass, is this Zidane? What a wonderful arc.

Wang Po made a long diagonal pass near the right side, like a cruise missile, reviewing the four defensive players on the Tottenham back line.

This was a goal scored in advance, and Ousmane Dembele did not need to think too much about how to deal with it. Speed ​​and acceleration were enough.

In the middle, Aubameyang and Wang Po have already made a flanking move.

Cross from the wing.

It was the front point. The judgment of the ball's landing point is also the smell that a top player should have. Wang Po ran back and shook off the defensive player who was defending him. With a flick of his head, the ball hit the front post and went into the goal.

2 to 1.

It was still Wang Po. At the critical moment, in an extremely passive situation, Wang Po saved the team again.

The unpredictable running position made the Tottenham defenders completely confused.

Although Lloris was quite angry and roared loudly at his teammates, in fact, he was more responsible for this ball. The goalkeeper lost the near corner, which was a mistake that could not be made in any case.

Eriksen's appearance became a double-edged sword for Tottenham, with advantages and disadvantages.

At present, the weakness has been caught by Wang Po. Not only that, but the more terrible thing is that the other players of Dortmund also realized this, and the result became that everyone surrounded Eriksen.

It was like a hungry wolf seeing the sheep of a fat girl.

After a siege, Eriksen was stunned.

Switching from defense to offense, Dortmund's offensive opportunity came again.

This time it was Ousmane Dembele who carried the ball forward, while Wang Po was rooted between the two central defenders of Tottenham.

Dembele passed the ball straight to Wang Po, giving him space to accelerate. Sprinting within 20 meters is a test of explosive power.

Under the training of the private team, Wang Po has improved significantly in this aspect this season. With five steps, the central defenders of Tottenham are already eating dust behind him.
