Major European football leagues have their own styles and characteristics, and some of the playing styles that are familiar to fans are deeply rooted.

For example, Italy focuses on tactics and is good at defensive counterattacks, which has been passed down for nearly half a century.

Whether at the national team level or at the club level, every success of the Italian team is almost the same. The defense is impeccable and the counterattack is fast and sharp. Even if there is a luxurious lineup composed of many stars, the essence and core have almost never changed.

Tang Hong was in trouble after the start of the match against Naples.

Whenever he pushes forward, no one takes the initiative to grab the ball, whether it is Macho in the front or Behrami who comes to assist in defense in the middle, they will keep the defense at the right distance. They will only intercept when Tang Hong tries to dribble and change direction to make a breakthrough, which increases the difficulty of Tang Hong's breakthrough.

Because the opponent is always hitting his back, and it is a joint defense and attack, and one person cannot defend himself, so there is another insurance.

This is also the defensive feature of Italian teams. Unlike Premier League teams who like to fight against active pressing, Italian teams prefer frontal defense and first adopt a strategy of delaying the opponent's offensive speed and fighting backhand to jointly press.

When this set of defense is used to the extreme, it is Italy's unique skill of standing among the strong: chain defense!

Tang Hong was cut outside the formation of the Dortmund attack group, and coupled with the harassment from Karehon from time to time, Tang Hong seemed to be trapped in a quagmire.

The Dortmund offensive in the first 20 minutes could not be continued because of the lack of frontal explosion points, and the effect of placing hope on Tang Hong was not good.

Naples' counterattack is relatively simple but threatening.

If Hummels and Subotic hadn't performed soundly and repeatedly intercepted the opponent's threatening ball at key positions in the penalty area, Dortmund would have been the first to concede the ball.

Tang Hong, who was disappointed, found that it was difficult for him to rely on his personal abilities to win obvious local advantages in front of Naples, so he could only settle for the second best and provide offensive cover for his teammates. At the same time, he also changed his mind.

Napoli has no room behind him when defending head-on. If you want a wonderful pass with a speed and a forward pass, you can create an excellent shooting opportunity. This cannot be said to be a fantasy. The tacit understanding and ability requirements for the team are too high. It requires the right time to pass the ball and the timing of the player running, and the accuracy of the pass and the running route are perfectly coordinated!

Perhaps this requires a lot of repeated transmission and cutting coordination to be matched in one go.

That's a big chance.

In order to create better offensive conditions, Tang Hong tried to shoot the ball quickly after 25 minutes of the game. After the ball was released, he did not go deep into the penalty area to respond, but was preparing to fight back!

We are ready to be frustrated in the offense and play a counter-attack in advance to disrupt the Napoli counter-attack organization. Once Dortmund successfully counter-attack in the middle and frontcourt and then play a fast break, Napoli will have very little time to adjust the defense line and the flaws will be easily exposed.

Before Dortmund could threaten, Naples' counterattack formed a fatal blow.

In the 35th minute of the game, Hamsik sent a straight pass from behind the center circle.

Higuain sent the ball diagonally in the middle of the frontcourt to the front of the run, and the latter quickly dribbled the ball down the bottom and sent the cross.

The football flew to the left in front of the penalty area. After stopping the ball, Insigne dribbled the ball and adjusted it to the middle area, and then shot it hard and shot into the lower right corner of the goal!

Weidenfeller had saved to the limit but failed to keep the ball out.

Dortmund's front line is too long, and the two central defenders were restrained by Higuain in the penalty area. Unexpectedly, Callehon's cross was passed to Insigne, who followed up inward cut in the back.

The Sao Paulo Stadium was thunderous. Insigne was loved by local fans as a Naples youth training player, and they even expected him to become the new Maradona!

"Insigne scored a long shot from the penalty area! Napoli was the first to break the deadlock at home to complete the goal!

Dortmund was finally punished for not being able to defeat him for a long time. Naples' counterattack again and again threats eventually turned into goals!

Naples leads Dortmund 1:0!

Will the Bundesliga powerhouses be unfavorable to make a move in the Champions League?”

Klopp looked solemn on the sidelines, and Dortmund's style of play was not effective for everyone. The unpredictable outcome of such a strong team who plays defensive counterattack on the court is within the expected range.

The first goal is very important. If Dortmund scores the ball, then Napoli will inevitably weaken their defense in order to equalize the score. The probability of Dortmund scoring one after another goal will be very high!

But now it's Naples' goal, and Dortmund's situation has not changed much, but it is undoubtedly too difficult to completely reverse the situation, because even if you score a goal, it will only equalize the score. Naples can still continue to play their defensive counterattack.

The score was behind, Dortmund immediately raised the pace of the game after the kick-off, and the strong attack became simplified, but the defensive counter-attack became more fierce!

They almost made Naples lose their composure in the backcourt!

In the 41st minute of the game, when Reus made a cross from the right in the frontcourt and was cleared directly by Britos, Sven Bend immediately passed the ball in the middle circle and passed it straight ahead.

Mkhitaliang controlled the ball with a horizontal wheel strap and dribbled in front of Inle and immediately passed directly. Lewandowski responded with his back and decisively knocked the ball back diagonally.

Tang Hong cut inward and followed up and hit the ball!

The football was saved by goalkeeper Reina and blocked it in the penalty area. Suniga returned to the penalty area and did not dare to control the ball because Reus followed up and counterattacked.

He tried to clear the ball with his big feet, but the football was not high from the ground and was easily controlled by Gundogan in front of the middle circle.

Gundoan sent another direct pass and found Tang Hong who was retreating and responding.

Behrami followed carefully and Tang Hong blocked the ball from the center. Mkhitaryan followed up and collided with Lewandowski and then shot from the right side of the penalty area!

The powerful shot was too straight, and Reina blocked the ball from the front!

Naples' defense line is in full swing!

Just as the football flew to the middle of the penalty area, Tang Hong quickly ran and took off before Inle and stopped the ball from his chest in the air.

In this rhythm of Dortmund's continuous fast attack and the continuous adjustment of the Naples defense line, there were huge flaws in the Naples defense line!

Tang Hong immediately passed the ball straight without waiting for the ball to land, because Britos was coming to him and Reus was cutting in the running position.

Tang Hong passed the ball straight to the area behind the opponent.

When Britos turned around and looked, Reus had already controlled the ball in the right rib of the penalty area, and dribbled the ball towards the bottom line and then passed the ball across the front of the goal.

Lewandowski followed up and flew into the goal of Naples!

Dortmund's anti-snatch strike finally caused Naples' defense to collapse!

"Lewandowski scored! Dortmund equalized the score!

Dortmund's style of play is extremely aggressive. Even if one attack fails, they will quickly succeed in counter-attacking in a short period of time to launch a fast attack again, which is more threatening than once, and closer to scoring the goal every time!

When Mkhitaryan's shot was blocked, Tang Hong took the ball outside the penalty area and sent a threatening ball, so Dortmund's final goal came naturally, and Reus assisted Lewandowski to score!

Naples 1:1 Dortmund.”

Benitez had no expression on his face and was false to say that he was not lost.

Just in terms of playing style, the most aggressive people in European football are Bayern Munich and Dortmund!

Even Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga are not as good as those in La Liga.

Perhaps after Guardiola took over Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich's offensive aggressiveness would also be downshifted, after all, they began to play pass control.

In recent years, the tactical changes in European football have not seemed to have affected Italy. Italian teams still hold on to their ancestors to leave their skills, and can defend and counterattack after Inter Milan achieved its peak in 2010, and it has begun to lose its successors.

Even if Benitez wants to be enterprising in Serie A, some things that are deeply rooted in their bones are difficult to shake, so there is no question of being reborn from the cocoon.

This goal has led to a consensus among Dortmund players.

It is almost impossible to explode the opponent's defense in a static attack.

At the Champions League level, unless you encounter a second-rate league champion team that can achieve partial crushing, the teams in mainstream top leagues depend on the scene and situation.

Naples' main defensive counterattack today forced Dortmund, who was eager to score three points, to fight a difficult battle.

If they want to make a flaw in their defense, they have the opportunity to score a goal, they must suppress their opponents in terms of rhythm and counter-attack and oppression!

The first half ended soon, and the two teams temporarily drew 1:1.

After taking a break in the midfield, Klopp did not make any adjustments to his tactics. Dortmund had already made a comprehensive advantage in the last 10 minutes of the first half. Even though this made them pay a high physical cost, this is the characteristic of Dortmund's Champions League competition in the past two seasons.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Dortmund became even more fierce. After a quick shot from the midfield and frontcourt, he tried to create an offensive threat opportunity directly. Even if he couldn't fight, he would quickly launch an anti-snatch and encirclement.

Naples was forced to speed up and fight in counterattack instigation.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Higuain received a half-high cross from the wing and bypassed defender Hummels. His shot from the middle was slightly higher than the crossbar, which made Naples sigh in the whole game.

Only 2 minutes later, Dortmund made a quick attack in the frontcourt. Tang Hong collided with Gundoant on the side who came to meet the support from the wall. After the cross from the bottom, Albial cleared the ball, but the cleared football was controlled by Sven Bend in the frontcourt. Then Sven Bend sent a diagonal pass on the ground and transferred the offensive to the right.

Reus dribbled inward and sent a wonderful pass to Mkhitaryan who was in front of the ball. The latter entered the penalty area and volleyed the ball and shot. The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Reina is unable to save this time!
Chapter completed!
