Chapter 76 Dortmund in Excellent Form
"Royce passes the ball, this ball is for Haaland! Kai goes up!"
Lekai retreated quickly, he knew very well how threatening it would be to let Haaland touch the ball in this position.
For this reason, Lekai had no intention of slowing down at all, and rushed straight forward.
Bang!
Lekai and Haaland collided fiercely, and both of them barely maintained their balance during the collision.
Haaland felt his body leaning forward, but used his strong body coordination ability to keep himself in a posture that could head the ball.
Lekai also felt pain in his shoulder, and his body tilted to the side, and he also relied on his strong core strength to maintain his center of gravity again.
In the end, the ball hit the shoulders of the two and flew out.
After Lekai and Haaland landed, they both subconsciously rubbed their shoulders.
Haaland turned his head to look at Lekai, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He knew very well how strong his physical ability was, but Lekai not only withstood it, but also restricted himself to a certain extent.
On the other hand, Lekai was grinning. He felt that if he exerted a little more force, his shoulder would be dislocated.
Although he knew Haaland's explosive physical fitness, he didn't understand what it felt like until he actually faced him.
Of course, for fans and spectators, these two are monsters.
Under that kind of collision and confrontation, both of them could barely maintain their balance and finally hit the ball.
Although neither of them hit the right part, it was already very remarkable.
"Kai took the initiative to collide with Haaland, which should have been a foul, but neither of them fell down, but instead hit the ball." Andy Gray shook his head and sighed: "The physical fitness of these two people is really too strong!"
Royce also ran over.
He looked at Haaland and said, "Are you okay?"
Haaland shook his head and pointed to his shoulder and said, "It hurts a little just now, but it's okay now."
Reus slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't fight against Kai, play smarter."
Haaland shook his head and said, "No! I can beat him!"
Reus was stunned for a moment, then smiled again.
He trusted Haaland. This guy really beat Lucky in terms of physical fitness.
On the other side, Lucky also said to Jimenez, "Cooperate with me later, and we will limit Haaland together!"
This was the first time Lucky played a cooperative defense, which also indirectly showed that Haaland did have the physical ability that made him afraid.
Of course, it's not just physical ability.
There is also the ability to score.
Based on the latter, Lucky took the initiative to seek confrontation. If he could not interfere with Haaland, or even give the opponent enough restrictions, then Arsenal's penalty area would fall sooner or later.
Jimenez also nodded fiercely. After the previous confrontation, he also knew what kind of monster that kid was.
The game restarted, Dortmund's hand throw.
So far in the game, Dortmund's performance has been very good, especially using Haaland's ability to constantly threaten Arsenal's goal.
Of course, Arsenal also had moments of counterattack.
In general, the two teams had offensive and defensive attacks.
But this is not the situation Arsenal wants, they need midfield control.
Haaland's pressure is very high, so Lekai can hardly get away, and he can't attack too much forward.
For this reason, the pressure of attacking fell on Eriksson.
"Eriksson! You have to take the initiative to tear open the opponent's defense, and the rhythm of the midfield depends on you! Believe in yourself!"
Lekai shouted to Eriksson from a distance.
In this situation, the midfield needs Eriksson to take charge of the organization work, and Lekai has a defensive task, so he can't get away.
Of course, when attacking, Lekai is also in a relatively front position to provide support.
But in more cases, Eriksson needs to solve the problem himself.
Eriksson also understands the situation at this time, and he knows that he has to play a role.
His teammates have suppressed Dortmund's biggest firepower point, and most of the pressure has been solved by them. In this case, if he hasn't played yet, he really doesn't deserve the qualification of the Champions League champion.
"Pass the ball to me!"
Eriksson took the initiative to shout to his teammates, and his expression at this time was a little solemn and fierce.
Yes!
He really should play!
When the ball was passed to Eriksson's feet again, he did not choose to pass the ball directly, but pulled the ball and turned.
In the process of turning, he encountered interference and pressing from Dortmund players.
If it was the previous Eriksson, facing pressure, he would choose to pass the ball more.
But at this time, Eriksson turned resolutely, while using his body to resist the opponent desperately, and while completing the half turn, he passed the ball to Aubameyang in front.
Eriksson's efforts made Aubameyang not have to retreat to receive the ball, and he was closer to the opponent's goal.
After receiving the ball, Aubameyang dribbled along the side.
He looked up to observe the opponent's penalty area while thinking about how to get past the guy in front of him.
When Aubameyang approached the baseline, the opponent was still waiting patiently.
Even if Aubameyang took a little more time, the opponent did not intend to kick forward, which made Aubameyang very annoyed. This guy was too steady.
Just when Aubameyang was about to pass the ball, Eriksen's figure came from behind.
"Pass back!"
Aubameyang stopped suddenly and passed the ball back again.
Eriksen did not stop the ball on the spot, but stepped forward and quickly followed up, posing a posture of directly entering the penalty area.
This made Dortmund's defense line begin to gather towards Eriksen. The next second, Eriksen suddenly made a horizontal pass.
The ball went through the opponent's defender's crotch.
"Behind!"
Dortmund defender Zagadou couldn't help but yelled in surprise.
When he turned around, he saw Giroud suddenly open his legs and pass the ball.
The ball continued to fly to the back point.
"Damn it!"
Schmelzer was also taken by Giroud.
They saw Mane rushing forward and shooting at a small angle towards the ball.
Bang! !
"Bürki!!! Excellent save!!"
Mane's shot was already very fast, but the opponent's goalkeeper's reaction speed was also very fast, and he was even faster when he went down to save the ball. He used his elbow to push the ball out.
Piszczek, who retreated, hurriedly kicked the ball out.
Dortmund resolved a very threatening attack from Arsenal.
The ball flew in the air towards Arsenal's half, and Lekai had already appeared at the landing point. He leaned on Haaland tightly and stretched out his right foot to stop steadily.
This ability to stop the ball is already world-class, not to mention that it was under fierce confrontation.
After completing the stop, Lekai did not start, but sat back again, putting pressure on Haaland again, and waited for the opponent to step back before starting forward to get rid of it.
The ball is still under Arsenal's control.
Lekai moved forward slowly, and he passed the ball to Eriksen who was retreating again, and gave him a thumbs up.
This time Eriksen's attack was very threatening. Although he failed to score, he still put a lot of defensive pressure on Dortmund.
"Keep going!!"
Lekai opened his hands and shouted; "Press forward! Defend the overall upper body!"
After that, Arsenal began to move forward as a whole, and Haaland was forced to run towards the center circle area.
At this time, Lucky had already moved forward to Dortmund's half.
In this position, Lucky can also launch an attack.
Eriksson's performance was very active.
After Lucky retreated, he had a wider space for activities. Eriksson began to dribble horizontally from left to right and from right to left, trying to tear Dortmund's defense.
If he encountered pressure, he could also cooperate with Lucky behind him and play a two-on-one.
Arsenal began to stabilize the situation gradually, and the time just entered 30 minutes.
"Arsenal began to exert its strength, and their advantage in midfield control slowly took effect, which was not good news for Dortmund. If Arsenal continued to put pressure on them, it would be too threatening to Dortmund's goal!"
Eriksson was not only dribbling and tearing the opponent's defense.
At the same time, he also planned to create set pieces in a favorable position, and even suddenly change the rhythm and change direction.
In this case, Dortmund began to become more and more passive.
Their midfield line was suppressed to the position near the penalty area line.
But even so, Arsenal still maintained possession of the ball and continued to exert pressure.
