Football: Copy the peak Messi attributes at the beginning

Chapter 53 The Bundesliga starts, encountering strong enemies again

On August 24, the new Bundesliga season officially kicked off.

I don’t know if it was a deliberate arrangement by the German Football Association or if it was an unintentional move.

The two teams in the opening match were the two opponents in the Telecom Cup final not long ago, Dortmund and Werder Bremen.

This is the second meeting between the two teams within 20 days, and what is even more unfortunate is that this is the second time Werder Bremen faces Dortmund away from home.

Therefore, after the schedule came out, everyone in the team felt very speechless.

"The Football Association is really good at creating gimmicks!"

Seeing the Dortmund media chanting slogans of revenge, their players also stated on social media that they will be 120% fit to play against Werder Bremen and win this game.

This made Werder Bremen feel like they were being arranged. Facing Dortmund, who was full of anger and had been recharging their energy for 20 days, they really didn't have the confidence to win.

"This is just an ordinary league game. Don't think too much, just play well. Winning or losing is not that important!"

Coach Schaff stood up at the right time to relieve the pressure on the players.

The league is not a cup match that determines the outcome, but in a year-long season, winning or losing a game is important, but it is not to the extent of deciding life or death.

"Yes, the coach is right. This is just a very ordinary game. Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. Just play the game in the same state as you usually do in training!"

The senior players of the team also stood up and began to comfort the young players.

With the comfort of the coach and veteran players, the nervousness of the young players has eased a lot.

At 19:30 in the evening, Werder Bremen players stepped onto the lawn of the Westfalenstadion again after 20 days.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in China, CCTV was also broadcasting the game live.

As the first five major leagues to obtain broadcast rights, in the early years before CCTV obtained the broadcast rights for the Premier League and La Liga, the Bundesliga was the most broadcast.

At that time, there were still many Chinese players studying abroad here. Later, with the decline of the national football team, there were fewer and fewer players studying abroad.

Last year, when Shao Jiayi announced that he would end his overseas studies and return to play football in China, there were no more Chinese players in the German league.

But in this context, Lin Quan, a Chinese player, came out of the blue, giving the domestic Bundesliga a shot in the arm that had begun to lose viewers, and attracted a lot of viewers again.

This opening match between Dortmund and Werder Bremen set a new record for CCTV's ratings for the opening match of the Bundesliga in the past three years.

The commentators are Tao Wei and Duan Xuan.

Many viewers are looking forward to seeing Lin Quan on the court in a cool and unrestrained manner, scoring easily.

However, when the starting lineups of the two teams came out, they were dumbfounded!

"What are Werder Bremen doing, Lin Quan is not in the starting lineup?"

"I once wondered if there was something wrong with my eyes, but Lin Quan was indeed not on the starting list!"

"A shady secret. This must be a shady secret. It is the discrimination and suppression of us yellow people by Western white people!"

For a time, the posts in the forum were refreshed rapidly, and many people said they could not understand the arrangements of the Werder Bremen coaching staff.

Not only can they not understand it, but neither can Dortmund's head coach Klopp.

"Has Shaf given up resistance?"

"Or is this old boy playing some conspiracy?"

Klopp, who had been fooled once, became much more vigilant this time.

Therefore, he asked the team to stabilize the opening and not rush to attack, so as not to be attacked by the opponent like last time.

Dortmund's players were also worried about conceding two goals in the first five minutes of the last game, so after kick-off, they deliberately controlled the rhythm of the game and did not rush to launch an attack.

"Did Dortmund change their tactics today? They played very cautiously. This is not their usual style!"

Seeing Dortmund's players tipping in the backcourt, today's CCTV commentators Tao Wei and Duan Xuan were very confused.

The slow-paced game lasted for five or six minutes, until Dortmund was sure that the opponent was not going to play against them today, then they relaxed and started to launch a full-scale attack!

Facts have proved that without Lin Quan, Werder Bremen's offensive threat has dropped by almost a notch.

De Bruyne's performance in this game was still outstanding. He passed several threatening passes in the frontcourt.

However, his teammates' abilities were limited, so his second-second passes were either not received or wasted after receiving the ball.

All in all, Werder Bremen fell into a passive position in the frontcourt and found it difficult to open up the situation.

On the other hand, Dortmund does not have this problem.

Reus has perfectly integrated into the team, and his cooperation with Lewandowski in the frontcourt is getting smoother and smoother.

In the 11th minute of the game, Royce broke through and passed the ball. Lewandowski received the ball and passed it back to him. The two completed a one-two in Werder Bremen's penalty area.

When Reus received Lewandowski's pass, he had already broken away from the defender and formed a one-on-one shot.

Faced with this excellent opportunity, Royce certainly would not waste it. He blasted the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.

Although Werder Bremen goalkeeper Militz took off in time and touched the football with his fingertips, he was unable to save it.

The score became 1:0. Dortmund, playing at home, took the lead in the 11th minute.

After the goal, Royce ran to the corner and kissed the team logo on his jersey.

This move attracted cheers and applause from the audience. They gradually fell in love with this handsome new guy and forgot about Shinji Kagawa who went to England.

Schaff was a little dissatisfied with the team's conceding the ball, and he began to shout to the players on the field, asking them to work harder and not be so timid.

After receiving instructions from the coach, Werder Bremen's players increased the intensity of their confrontation in the following games.

The result of this is that the number of fouls committed by both sides is increasing.

In the 21st minute of the game, Gundogan, who had been violated many times in previous games, could no longer bear it. When Werder Bremen defender Igniowski was holding the ball, he shoveled in retaliation.

, shovel the opponent to the ground.

After being tackled, Igniovsky screamed like a slaughtering pig and rolled back and forth on the ground holding his legs.

Such a big movement naturally alarmed the players from both teams. Werder Bremen's players immediately rushed forward and surrounded Gundogan in the middle.

Dortmund's players also immediately rushed to protect Gundogan, and saw that the two sides were about to stage a group fight.

The referee immediately rushed to the scene of the incident, picked up the yellow card and showed it to Gundogan, quelling the riot this time.

However, this did not seem to be able to calm the anger of the players on both sides. In the subsequent games, the actions of both sides became increasingly larger.

In the 28th minute, Werder Bremen's Yunuzovic tackled Reus and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

Two minutes later, Igniowski also bumped into Lewandowski outside the penalty area and also received a yellow card.

Subsequently, Dortmund's Kyle, not to be outdone, showed his spikes on Arnautovic during a tackle and was directly shown a yellow card.

The half is not over yet, and players from both sides have already received four yellow cards. If both sides continue to play like this, the number of yellow cards in this game may reach double figures.
