There is a belief called football

Chapter 366
At the end of the first half, although Sane set off a whirlwind, the Schalke players' ability to seize opportunities was average. In the end, the score of 0 to 1 was maintained until the intermission. Dortmund returned to the locker room with a goal advantage.

In these 15 minutes, Klopp has to find a way to limit Sane, and Schalke is very good at this trick. If Sane loses his power, then Schalke has only one way to surrender in this game.

"Mats (Hummels), you should be able to guard Sane, you man-marked Messi in the World Cup, don't tell me Sane is harder to guard than Messi"?Klopp said.

But unexpectedly, "Hummels" nodded!

Klopp smiled helplessly.

"Coach, don't laugh, Messi's strength lies in his comprehensiveness-speed, passing, and free kicks are all world-class, but Sane is indeed faster than Messi in terms of speed. If his passing is not too bad, we would have lost the ball long ago."

Klopp did not speak. Football is not a "[-]-meter run", but the so-called martial arts in the world can only be done quickly. This principle is the same on the football field. If the opponent runs really fast, it is still difficult to restrain it.

"What about you, Gundogan"?
Gundogan shook his head while drinking water.

In the end, Klopp locked his eyes on Li Qiao, "Joe, what about you?"
Li Qiao was stunned for a moment, thinking: "Did Klopp go to the doctor in a hurry? I'm not a defensive player."

"Coach, I will try to make more breakthroughs and suppress the opponent's right." Li Qiao's idea is to replace defense with offense.

But Klopp didn't mean this, "I don't mean this, I want you to defend Sane".

Everyone laughed, especially Schmelzer, "Coach, you are slapping me in the face. Could it be that I have played left back for 10 years but I am not as good as Li Qiao?"
"Coach, Li Qiao won't defend," Weidenfeller said.

Klopp stroked his messy beard and said: "No need to."

Everyone wanted to laugh even more after hearing this.

"A young player like Sane is immature and relies on self-confidence. He thinks that the whole Dortmund team is not as fast as him. If we prove that Dortmund players can actually be faster than him, then his self-confidence will disappear. What threat will there be then?"
Everyone thinks what Klopp said makes sense.

"That is to say, no defensive skills are required"?Hummels asked.

"Yes, no need, as you said just now, his only advantage is speed."

Li Qiao stood up and said, "I should be fine with this."

Klopp patted Li Qiao and said: "In the second half, you should take part in the Olympic [-]-meter race."

******
After the start of the second half, the Schalke fans first booed for half a minute.

In the second half, "Dortmund" kicked off first, and Schalke pressed all the lines and rushed in the frontcourt. Klopp had expected this, but Dortmund took the lead. Klopp needed to control the rhythm and save his energy, so he let the Dortmund players control the ball in the backcourt.

After more than a dozen passes, the frontcourt free man "Sane" grabbed the ball. During the intermission, Di Matteo had already shaped Sane as the core of the team's game. When he got the ball on the right, Huntelaar, Boateng, and Meyer all leaned over here.

When Sane advanced at high speed, Li Qiao was chasing after him, but this time when the two started, Li Qiao was 5 meters behind, so he couldn't catch up.

In the end, Sane shot himself and the ball went wide of the baseline, but the Schalke fans became more and more enthusiastic. They saw the hope of scoring, and this hope made them excited and made them shout.

The audience began to shout: "Sane...Sane...Sane".

The once loyal Shakhtar fans also treated "Neuer" and "Ozil" in the same way. They seemed to see another superstar of Schalke 04 rising.

And Sane was also in high spirits at this time. He felt that he was already a player who could compete with Messi and Ronaldo. His self-confidence was bursting, and it was easier for his feet. He passed the ball very accurately a few times.

What he didn't know was that someone was already staring at him behind him.

Li Qiao knew that if he wanted to overtake, he had to start in advance. If he wanted to start in advance, he had to predict the route of Schalke's pass, and jump over the moment the pass passed.

However, the concealment of excellent players' passing is very strong. With a flick of the ankle and a small movement, it is difficult to judge in advance.

The previous few times Li Qiao made a wrong judgment and ran more than 10 meters in vain, but Li Qiao was stubborn and did not give up. He was still observing the situation on the court.

When Meyer got the ball, Li Qiao felt that the opportunity had come. Meyer is also a young player, and his movements would be very standardized when passing the ball. I saw that his buttocks turned around before he opened his arch and pushed the ball.

When it comes to practicing the basics, discipline is good, but playing in the top league, then it might not be so good.

Before Meier opened his arch, Li Qiao started, so when Sane received the ball, the two were on the same starting line, but Sane started later, but that's it, the two people still have similar speeds, which shows that Sane is really fast.

Since the speed is about the same, it is better than the running ability on the way. As a black player, Sane has an inherent advantage. He is half a body ahead of Li Qiao after 15 meters, but Li Qiao clenched his teeth and persisted, and the distance was not opened in the end.

In the final stage, Sane was obviously tired. He slowed down. Li Qiao took the opportunity to tackle the ball diagonally.

After this setback, Sane's self-confidence has dropped significantly. When he takes the ball, he will first look at where Li Qiao is. Such a Sane who looks left and right is not a big threat to Dortmund.

*****
Klopp is very happy to see Li Qiao successfully restraining Sane, Schalke is misfired, Dortmund is about to start an onslaught, Reus and Aubameyang are starting to show off, two players with extremely fast speed and great skills disrupted Schalke's defense.

Among the 4 Schalke defenders, "Neustedt" should be the weakest, and Dortmund is aiming at him. Under the continuous attack, "Neustedt" was blown away. In desperation, "Neustedt" drew a foul, and Dortmund once again won a free kick in front of the penalty area.

The first free kick allowed Schalke to see Dortmund's treachery. Now Dortmund has won another free kick in front of the penalty area that can be shot directly. Schalke is very nervous. "Ferman" commanded the wall.

Facing Schalke's higher and wider wall, the three of Dortmund were discussing again. This time Li Qiao insisted on taking the penalty himself and not playing tricks.

Royce and Mkhitaryan said that they could not make the decision. The free kick tactics were arranged by Klopp, so Li Qiao gestured to Klopp to communicate. Klopp knew his players very well, and he understood Li Qiao's thoughts.

*****
Seeing Klopp make an "OK" gesture, Royce and Mkhitaryan backed away, and Li Qiao stood alone in front of the ball. He looked at the wall, and it was much higher than when he was practicing by himself. This ball is very difficult.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qiao started to back up. After reaching the distance he was used to, Li Qiao stopped, and then he looked at the referee, waiting for the referee to blow his whistle.

There were huge boos from the audience, and there was also ridicule during the period-"What is he trying to do, does he think he is Beckham"?
"Looking at the posture he was standing in, I thought it was Ronaldo, haha...".

"If this goal is scored, I will give my Schalke 04 season ticket to the beggar, and I will never come to the stadium to watch the game again this season."

In short, now Li Qiao has become a thorn in the eyes of Schalke fans, and Li Qiao's goal is clearly meant to be singled out, how can the Schalke people let him go.

The referee whistled to indicate that Li Qiao could play the ball. Li Qiao shot the ball after six steps.

Because the opponent's wall is very high, Li Qiao increased the strength of kicking the ball. At the same time, in order to ensure that the ball can fall in time, Li Qiao moved the point of contact of the foot down when kicking the ball to obtain stronger backspin.

When the ball flew over the head of the human wall, "Herwedes" in the middle of the human wall laughed. Judging from his years of experience in fighting, the ball must have flown into the stands and be caught by the fans.Even Klopp thought it was useless when he saw the ball. The ball was too floating, and there was no sign of falling after passing the wall.

But it is unbelievable that when the ball flew over the wall and then fell quickly, like a cruise missile, even the "Ferman" in front of the goal and the fans in the stands behind the goal were stunned.

The ball bounced into the goal after hitting the lower edge of the crossbar, 2-0, Dortmund expanded their lead.

After the goal, Li Qiao didn't celebrate, the audience was quiet, and no one booed Li Qiao anymore. The goal was so heart-wrenching that even the picky Schalke fans had nothing to say. Of course, after kick-off, there were sporadic boos from the stands.

After 2-0, Schalke lost all morale. Di Matteo changed three players in a row to prevent players from being injured. In the end, Dortmund did not relent when facing Schalke who was in a hurry. Midfielder Gundogan scored another goal. The total score was 1-3.

After the game, the players on both sides were strangers. There was no handshake or exchange of jerseys. Klopp walked to the player tunnel, but Di Matteo did not come over. In the end, Uncle Zha quickly left the field. This was the first time this season that he did not shake hands with the opposing coach after the game.
