Chương 46: Chapter 46: Another Goal, Lin Quan is the Real Ace!

The players from Borussia Dortmund seemed a bit stunned, staring blankly at their own goal, apparently unable to accept the brutal reality of conceding a goal so quickly.

In contrast, the atmosphere on Werder Bremen's side was completely different. After scoring, the players dashed across the field, chasing after Felkrug who scored the goal. They tackled him fiercely, shouting and even forming a human pyramid to celebrate.

On the sidelines, Coach Shaofu, upon seeing the goal, clenched his fists in excitement and rushed out to embrace the members of his coaching staff.

On the other side, Klopp, seeing his team concede so quickly, wore a grim expression. "Damn it, what a stroke of luck for them!"

They only launched one attack and managed to score. Their luck is simply unbelievable.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Borussia Dortmund didn't have any defensive issues during that last play. When Felkrug broke through the defense and took the shot, Dortmund's players failed to position themselves for defense in time, resulting in a defensive lapse that led to the goal.

Could it be that this young talent from Werder Bremen's youth academy, Felkrug, was the secret weapon prepared by Shaofu for this match?

Klopp felt a bit uncertain. His gaze shifted between Lin Quan and Felkrug.

Unable to determine which one was the main focus of the opponent today!

Or perhaps, both of them are the secret weapons?

With this in mind, he called over Hulmes and gave him some instructions.

Once the game resumed, Felkrug noticed that the opposition's defense became even tighter around him. Although Dortmund didn't assign a specific marker to him, there were always one or two Dortmund players nearby, maintaining a close distance.

In such a situation, as soon as his teammates passed him the ball, the opposition would immediately press forward, attempting to dispossess him.

Seeing this, Shaofu couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling relieved.

Felkrug's primary purpose on the field was actually to provide support for his teammates, assist in passing, and draw away defensive attention, thereby diverting the opposition's focus from Lin Quan.

And Felkrug's recent goal only reinforced this notion, making Dortmund mistakenly believe that he was the biggest threat, forcing them to increase their defensive efforts against him.

And this played right into Shaofu's hands.

"Then, it's your turn to shine!" Shaofu's gaze crossed the crowd and fell on the number 10 player on the team's right side.

The unexpected concession in the fourth minute didn't directly break the spirit of the Borussia Dortmund players.

Although conceding a goal just four minutes into the game made it psychologically difficult for them, giving them a sense of being ambushed by the opponent, this frustration quickly turned into anger, fueling an even stronger fighting spirit.

They began to utilize more aggressive running and fiercer tackles to increase the pace of the game, hoping to overpower the opponent, equalize, or even reverse the score!

This is the Westfalenstadion, the most terrifying home ground in the entire Bundesliga!

You bunch of guys can't run wild here!

However, with just one goal scored and the morale of Werder Bremen soaring, they were not afraid of Borussia Dortmund's pressing at this moment.

So, both sides once again clashed fiercely in the midfield, with intense aggression.

In the fifth minute of the game, Borussia Dortmund swiftly moved the ball into Werder Bremen's penalty area.

Lewandowski received the ball in the penalty area, but with no good passing options available, he opted to take the shot himself.

His shot lacked power and was easily saved by the goalkeeper.

Militz knew that the time Coach left for their aggressive play was running out. If they couldn't score another goal now, Dortmund would soon press them back into their own half.

So, he leaped up from the ground and kicked the ball forward.

Having just completed an attack, most of Dortmund's players were still in the opposition's half and couldn't retreat to defend in time.

At this moment, their defense was wide open, like a deserted wasteland.

And it was Arnautovic again. This tall striker once again utilized his excellent heading ability to win the ball and passed it to Felkrug.

Felkrug had Dortmund defenders around him, already closing in before he even received the ball.

But surprisingly, Werder Bremen's number 41 didn't even attempt to receive the ball. Instead, he cleverly let it roll to his teammate rushing from behind—the one wearing number 10, Lin Quan!

With a swish, Klopp stood up from his seat.

His expression became extremely serious!

Wasn't that guy supposed to be operating on the right flank? When did he move to the center?

Felkrug, who stood at 1.9 meters tall, blocked the defending players in front of Lin Quan right after passing, preventing Dortmund players from immediately interfering with or intercepting Lin Quan.

And this gave Lin Quan the space and time to accelerate!

Countless matches have proven how dangerous it is once Messi picks up speed!

And now, Dortmund's players were facing this test!

With his speed fully unleashed, Lin Quan effortlessly dribbled past Dortmund's center-back, Korch!

The opponent wanted to pull his jersey, but also worried about fouling and giving away a penalty.

In this moment of hesitation, Lin Quan took the shot.

Seeing Lin Quan dribbling into the penalty area, Dortmund's goalkeeper, Langrak, immediately moved to the near post.

But the shot was aimed at the far post, and it was a curved shot.

Facing such a shot, Langrak could only make a symbolic dive, unable to even touch the ball.

As he fell to the ground, he heard a loud thud, thinking the shot had missed.

But when he looked back, the football had already bounced into the net.

In the sixth minute of the game, Werder Bremen once again penetrated Dortmund's defense with a quick counterattack.

The score was now 2-0!

This goal was almost identical to the first one, catching Dortmund off guard with a swift counterattack.

Before their defensive players could even get into position, Werder Bremen had already launched their attack.

In this situation, Dortmund's players, no matter how fast they were, were useless!

Their speed couldn't catch up with the ball!

This left Dortmund's players somewhat bewildered, even starting to doubt if their tactical arrangement was correct.

If they continued like this, they didn't know how many more goals they would concede in this match.

This is the Westfalenstadion, their home ground.

If they were to suffer a heavy defeat here, or even a disaster, the players wouldn't know how to face the team's fans.

So, when the game resumed, Dortmund's players became somewhat hesitant, seemingly afraid to continue attacking.

On the sidelines, Shaofu, seeing Dortmund's players' performance, felt much relieved:

Indeed, he had guessed right. The young players had outstanding strengths, but their weaknesses were equally evident, and their mentality was too easily influenced.

Now, Klopp, do you have a way to resolve the current crisis?
