Chapter 464 Decisive Battle in Munich (4)

Since the beginning of the game, they were suppressed by their opponents and felt a little breathless, which made the Dortmund players feel quite depressed. After all, no matter what, they are also teams that have won two consecutive Bundesliga titles!

Although the Bundesliga championship is not as valuable as Serie A at this time, it is not as bad as that of Serie A!

"It seems Capello has indeed understood what I said to him." Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in the box watching the ball, thought to himself when he saw that the Fiorentine player had almost scored a goal when he saw the two steals in the frontcourt.

Previously, when preparing for the Champions League final, Zhuang Mingge made a more detailed analysis for Capello, pointing out that Dortmund's biggest weakness was the poor physical fitness of Sousa and Summer.

That's right, although Dortmund's Paul Sousa and Summer can indeed perform at the superstar level on the court, due to their long-term fatigue and hard work, they have serious shortages in physical reserves. If they play at a normal pace, it is estimated that the two of them will be exhausted just one hour after the game.

If this happened to Fiorentina, it would not be a big deal, because Capello could immediately find two players of similar strength from the first team to top it, but Dortmund is not a team with good bench depth. Heathfield could not find a replacement for two on the bench bench.

Therefore, Heathfield had to arrange for the team to adopt more steadily and step-by-step strategies when attacking, slowing down the pace of the game as much as possible, and requiring other players to increase their running range, so as to reduce the physical energy consumption of Sousa and Summer in the game.

It has to be said that Dortmund players have implemented Heathfield's tactics quite successfully. Paul Sousa and Summer, who can play all the games, played a huge role in Dortmund's Champions League this season, leading this team that was unpopular at the beginning of the season to reach the final of the European Champions League for the first time.

If Zhuang Mingge hadn't been Zhuang Mingge, they would have beaten Juventus, coached by Silver Fox Lippi, three to one in this Champions League final, and become a new member of the Champions League champion club.

However, Zhuang Mingge's appearance changed everything that was about to happen.

Under Zhuang Mingge's suggestion, Capello realized the biggest weakness in Dortmund's formation, which is the poor physical condition of Sousa and Summer. As long as you find a way to drag down these two players as soon as possible, Dortmund, who has lost the backcourt organizer and team spirit leader, will have poor operation and his control over the game will be greatly reduced.

If Dortmund can slow down the pace of the game as much as possible, these two players can also ensure that they have a good performance throughout the game... But what if Fiorentina deliberately accelerates the pace of the game and significantly increases the intensity of the siege against Dortmund in the middle and backcourts?

I'm afraid the first thing that can't hold on is these two players who are regarded as the pillars of the team by the Dortmund.

Therefore, at Capello's request, the Fiorentine players specially raised the rhythm of the game to a very high level, and at the same time launched fierce pressing against Dortmund's midfield and backcourt in order to consume the physical fitness of the opponent's players in this way, especially the two key goals of Paul Sousa and Summer.

You should know that among the players who entered the starting lineup in Fiorentina this game, Ferrara, the oldest, is only in her thirties, and the youngest Zambrota is even just 20 years old. Among the few players in the frontcourt, Djokaf is 29 years old, Ronaldo is 20 years old, and Batistuta is 28 years old, both of whom are in their prime.

In contrast, among the midfielders of Dortmund, the 26-year-old goalkeeper Stefan Klos is the youngest among the eleven starting players. Among the remaining people, Summer is 30 years old, Reuters, Kohler and Clay are 32 years old, Heinrich and Lambert are 28 years old, and Paul Sousa is only 27 years old, but frequent injuries have made him slower. At the same time, whether three central defenders over 30 years old can cope with the impact of Ronaldo and others will have a big question mark.

Not to mention the frontcourt, Dortmund is only Chap Issatt, who is under 30 years old, and in Fiorentina's backcourt, except Redondo (28) and Ferrara (30), others are not even twenty-six years old...

This means that Fiorentine players who are younger in terms of age are better at recovering physical fitness than Dortmund players, so they can compete more actively on the court and use a lot of running to interfere with Dortmund's backcourt transmission.

Heathfield saw the intention of Capello's move, but he did not think of any good way to deal with it. After all, although German players are known for their strong willpower and good at running, it depends on the specific situation. Do you ask a group of old men with an average age of over 30 to play with a group of young men in their twenties? Isn't this arbitrary death?!

So, in terms of physical fitness, the young men in Florence are much better than the old Dortmund people.

This is one of the killer moves Capello prepared for Fiorentina to win the final of this Champions League with Dortmund!

In this game, Fiorentine players brought their physical advantages to the extreme. The active frontcourt siege made it impossible for Paul Sousa and Summer to organize the team to launch an attack in their backcourt. In the absence of mid- and backcourt support, Dortmund, with Andres Muller as the core of the offensive, became a rootless wood without source water, and the threat to Fiorentine goal was greatly reduced.

Dortmund's offense cannot be attacked, but correspondingly, Florence's offensive became more and more fierce.

In the 16th minute of the game, Fiorentina finally scored the first goal of the game!

Heinrich's breakthrough on the flank was blocked by Djokaf and Carlos, and the ball was transferred to the right by the Frenchman with one big foot. Ronaldo accelerated and easily got rid of Reut's defense, then raised his right foot and removed the ball.

Seeing this, Dortmund's players hurried back to defense, but Paul Sousa once again dragged their legs: the Portuguese did not stare at Redondo who was attacking while defending, causing the Argentine prince to kick a arc ball at the top of the penalty area after receiving the return pass from the alien!

The ball bypassed Coral, who was robbing, bypassed Summer, who was about to fly to block the eye, bypassed the open arm of Klos, who was jumping up in the air, and then drilled into Dortmund's door!
