Ice Shooter of the Green Field

Many media concerns about Dortmund are not groundless.

The biggest competitor is getting stronger, but Dortmund is standing still. Shaheen is gone, and Gundogan is here. Not to mention how much Gundogan is worse than Shaheen, at least he will not be too much stronger, right?

From the point of view of worth, there is no comparison between Gundogan, who is worth 8 million euros, and Shaheen, who is worth 40 million. Of course, Shaheen has the triple crown bonus, and Gundogan does not, but we must not deceive ourselves and say that Shaheen Xin is gone, the new Gundogan is much better than him, he may be standing still, or even regressing.

In other positions, it is meaningless to discuss whether Perisic and Hajnal are stronger or weaker, because their position will obviously be a substitute. Generally speaking, Dortmund's strength should be stagnant or slightly regressed.

Although the Triple Crown is already the pinnacle of a team, after the pinnacle there will inevitably be weakness, but Dortmund fans definitely don't want to fall too hard all at once, after all, only Shaheen is missing now.

Under this factor, the Bundesliga officially started.

On August 6, 2011, the first round of the Bundesliga started the whole season with the defending champion Dortmund. The opponent was Hamburg.

The players were not too much affected by the outside world. Dortmund chased three goals in a row to reverse the score after conceding a goal first. It is very rare for Zize to fail to continue the momentum of scoring in the first round. The ball was Gross Klotz, Gotze and Shinji Kagawa, but Zize contributed an assist to help Gross Klotz tie the score.

Shinji Kagawa, who hadn't played for Dortmund in an official game for several months, came off the bench in the 77th minute and scored a goal in less than three minutes, which is also gratifying.

Bayern Munich, who started the game immediately afterwards, was ambitious this season, but they were beaten by Borussia Mönchengladbach. They lost to their opponents in the first round of the league with a score of 1:0.

Of course, the first game couldn't explain anything.

After four games, there should almost be a preliminary conclusion.

After four rounds of the league, the initial championship situation has been shown in the standings. The first echelon is composed of Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen. Bayern Munich was defeated in the first round of the league. After Borussia's defeat, they won three consecutive victories after knowing their shame and being brave.

Dortmund also had three wins and one loss. In the second round of the league, Dortmund was stubbornly blocked by Hoffenheim. In the end, with Zize's first league goal of the season, he took away three goals from the Rhein-Neckar Stadium. Points, won the second victory.

In the third round, they faced Nuremberg, who were relegated last season.

The score was 2:0, Zize scored consecutive goals, and Royce also scored the first goal of the season.

In the fourth round, Dortmund, who was looking forward to a four-game winning streak, was revenged by Leverkusen. Leverkusen played a soul-stirring 4:3 against Dortmund at home. Zize was rarely blocked again, but he sent out Two assists were given to Shinji Kagawa and Kuba respectively.

The other two teams Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen also had three wins and one tie. These two teams kept up with Dortmund and Bayern Munich at the beginning of the season, but not many people were optimistic about them.

After all, these two teams lost their absolute main players in the summer. Schalke 04 lost Neuer, who went directly to Bayern Munich. In the past two years, Schalke 04 has absolute world-class strength in the goalkeeper position. It is because of Neuer that Neuer left the team and directly joined the strongest competitor, which can be described as a heavy loss.

On the other side, Bremen lost captain Mertesacker. The defensive backbone did not stay in the Bundesliga. He went to the Premier League giants Arsenal and started a new adventure.

The importance of these two is not much less than Shaheen's importance to Dortmund, or even more, because these two are the most important players in the defense of their respective teams. Although Shaheen is the core of the midfield, he is not the most important. Players, the most important player is Zize, but Mertesacker and Neuer are the most important to their old club.

It is not only the core of the defense that is lost, but also the best players, which is also a blow to the team's spirit.

Zize did not leave Dortmund. This is not only the meaning of not losing core players in the competition, but also a great help to the morale of the team.

Of course, these teams have already had countermeasures, including Dortmund. They are not the biggest giants. In the football world, it is no longer normal for big fish to eat small fish, and small fish to eat shrimp.

Maybe Dortmund will face this one day too, but not now.

Now, the pressure on Dortmund is whether it can defend the dignity of the Champions League champion. Facing the Portuguese super giant Porto in the UEFA Super Cup is also a key game for Dortmund to become the five-time champion.

France, Monaco, Stade Louis II.

The European Super Cup in the new season will herald the opening of the Champions League in the new season. Before that, the draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage has been completed. As the top seed team, Dortmund were drawn into Group C. This season, Dortmund finally avoided death. group.

This is what they fought for. The team that won the Champions League does not need to look at the European war points and automatically enters the seeded team. This is very important for Dortmund, which was still in the third tier last season.

With their performance in these two seasons, they can reach the first tier of the Champions League resident team.

The second team in Group C is the old rival, Zenit St. Petersburg in Russia. Zize has very good memories of this team. The first time he scored five goals in a single game was in St. Petersburg. Here he was also awarded a very unpopular but he likes the title, called King of the North.

The other two teams entering Group C are Olympiacos from Greece and Genk Athletic from Belgium, neither of which is a team in the top five leagues. For Dortmund, it is not very difficult.

France, Stade Louis II.

Dortmund ushered in the second European Super Cup final in history. The first time was in 1997 when Dortmund won the Champions League for the first time. However, they did not win the championship because Barcelona won the European Cup Winners Cup that year. At that time, it was still a contest between the European Cup Winners' Cup champion and the Champions League champion. After the European Cup Winners' Cup was merged into the Europa League, it became a competition between the Champions League and the Europa League champion.

At that time, the UEFA Super League was still divided into two rounds. Dortmund drew with their opponents 1:1 at home, but lost 0:2 in the next away game, missing the first UEFA Super Cup championship in team history.

However, at that time, the UEFA Super Cup did not receive much attention, and now it is regarded as an event that European giants pay more attention to. For the Triple Crown Dortmund, they definitely hope to win all the championships they can win this season.

Of course, Porto is not vegetarian.

As a well-known black shop in Europe, Porto is very accomplished in cultivating players and scouts. Last season's Europa League champion is a very good proof. With Hulk, Guarin, Moutinho, Otamen Porto with Di and other stars also has great potential.

But they just sold their star player, Colombian striker Falcao, who went to Atletico Madrid for 45 million euros.

Without Falcao, Porto will not have much change in the game strategy,

Because their strategy has always been like this, no one has to stay. If Zize plays for Porto, he will definitely leave this summer. Most importantly, this is also what Porto hopes.

In this game, Dortmund's basic main lineup made an all-out attack, vowing to win the championship trophy.

The goalkeeper is still Weidenfeller, Schmelzer and Piszczek are separated from the left and right, Santana and Subotic are partnered at the center back, Hummels has a slight injury in the last game, Klopp dare not let him adventure.

In the midfield, Kyle started with Gundogan, Kuba, Royce and Gotze started, and Zize served as the striker.

Porto is also full of famous players. The old Brazilian goalkeepers Helton, Sapunaru, Rolando, Otamendi and Pereira are in the defense. The midfielder is Defour, Fernando and Moutinho. In the starting lineup, the striker is led by Hulk, with Kleiber and Christian Rodriguez starting.

The Louis II Stadium is the largest stadium in Monaco, but it can actually accommodate a small number of fans, because the Principality of Monaco is in France, with a population of less than 30,000 and an area of ​​only 400 football fields. Louis The II Stadium occupies 400/1 of the entire country, which is already very large.
