Chapter 8: Mustard
Dortmund, who were two goals ahead, played more relaxed, while Mainz strengthened their defence, especially against the fat men, and they couldn't concede in the first half. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Forty minutes into the game, the fat man took the ball again to attack, and then Mainz No. 25 Gebamin ran over to defend again. The fat man had no choice but to change the line, choose to cut horizontally inside, ready to break through the opponent's defense, and then change the line to pass. I didn't expect that this time the opponent learned smartly, and the root didn't come to grab the ball, so he kept his distance and ran with the fat man, and the shooting line of the fat man was carded. If the fat man wanted to force a breakthrough, Mainz's No. 20 Fry had already rushed over to help defend, and the fat man had to pass the ball to Schmelzer on the side court with his back heel. Schmelzer took the ball and crossed it, and although Dortmund only had a point in the box, Aubameyang still jumped high to grab the ball, but unfortunately it was deflected.
'Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's header...... Oh, the top is off. Dicker regretted a little, "Schmelzer's pass was very accurate, but Aubameyang didn't take advantage of it. ”
"Pang seems to be under the care of Mainz, and every time he gets the ball, two Mainz players come over to defend." Rubeer commented, "And the Mainz players learned wisely, they didn't take the initiative to steal, but they were firmly in position and waited until their teammates came to help defend before they came to scramble together. ”
"Pang's breakthrough should be more confusing, otherwise it will be difficult to tempt the opponent to grab, as long as the opponent does not grab, the breakthrough will become very difficult." Dicker commented.
The fat man has also noticed the change in Mainz's defensive strategy, and the fat man knows that in the current situation, it will be difficult to easily pass the opponent unless he activates the heat flow, but the fat man still trys.
A minute later, the fat man made a comeback, dribbling the ball and rushing towards Gebaming, who was defending him. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to his opponent, the fat man transferred the ball to the side of his body and forced it through. Bang, the fat man and Ge Baming's shoulder collided together, although the fat man knocked the opponent away, but the speed was greatly reduced, this kind of frontal confrontation too much affected the speed of the fat man, and when the fat man caught up with the ball, the Mainz No. 20 Fry who assisted in the defense had already killed in front of him, the fat man tried to stretch his foot to reach the ball, because the heat flow was not activated, the speed was a little slow, and when Frye broke the ball, the fat man's foot arrived, and a kick was on the surface of Frye's foot, and the opponent immediately fell to the ground in pain.
"Oh, Pang fouled Frye defending himself, and the referee showed a yellow card, which should be Pong's first yellow card of the season!" Dicker couldn't stop shaking his head, "This breakthrough of Pang is still too reluctant, a frontal assault, and it is very sad without feints." ”
"I remember that Pang had this kind of breakthrough before, why did he seem so reluctant this time." Rupert looked puzzled, "In the warm-up match of the International Champions Cup, Pang had this kind of forced breakthrough against Manchester United and Manchester City, but this time I don't know why it won't work." ”
"After all, it was a warm-up game before, and the defensive intensity was not so great." Dicker analyzed, "It is also possible that Pang is not in good shape today." ”
Although his friend Dicker's analysis had some truth, Rupert always felt that something was wrong, and he always felt that the fat man's breakthrough seemed clumsy, and his speed and agility were a cut behind the previous breakthrough.
The fat man walked back depressedly, but he didn't expect the first yellow card of the new season to be explained like this.
'Under the opponent's key defense, it is too difficult for my brother to break through smoothly without activating the heat flow. The fat man shook his head, "When I learn the technique of passing the ball, I will learn to break through in the next one, otherwise once I am strictly defended by the opponent and there is no breakthrough, my brother's role as a winger will be greatly reduced." ”
At the end of the first half, Dortmund had a two-goal lead over Mainz at home.
'In the first half of the game, we played well. Pang and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang both scored their first league goals, especially Aubameyang, who finally opened his personal goal account, which is gratifying. "Poon's performance is as good as ever, his headers are very lethal, his passing ability has improved a lot, and Pom is now fully qualified for the role of winger." ”
'Pong has absolutely no problem playing as a winger, he is very dangerous with his breakthroughs and passes. Dortmund were able to take a two-goal lead in the first half thanks to a pass and a shot from Poon. "The biggest takeaway for the team today came from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who finally found his form and found the feeling of scoring goals. Dortmund will face a third-tier battle next and hope that more players will open their own goal accounts. ”
Dortmund, who had a smooth first half, suffered a blow at the start of the second half. Fifty minutes into the game, Mainz launched a quick counterattack, No. 10 Malle's accurate pass, found the back of the No. 20 Fry, who dribbled the ball to break through, past the back Castro, dodged the gap is a long shot, Dortmund goalkeeper Burki flew to save the ball, but the ball rolled to the feet of the forward Mainz striker Clemens, who easily pushed the goal into the near corner of the goal.
"The ball is in! Mainz striker Clemens' follow-up shot! Dicker looked depressed, "Mainz's counter-attack was very fast, and although Burki blocked Fry's long-range shot, he didn't block Clemens's follow-up shot, and Mainz pulled a goal back. ”
"Dortmund is still a little chaotic in defense, two back midfielders, Rod did not prevent Mainz Marle's pass, Castro was directly passed by Frye, giving the opponent a chance to shoot; The four men in the backline, who were not tightly marked, gave Calemence the opportunity to shoot in the box. ”
'Conceding at home in the first round of the league is not a good sign. Dicker pouted, "We played too relaxed at the beginning of the second half. ”
"It's an old problem that we don't defend well, whether it's in the previous warm-up games or the latest official games, we haven't conceded a clean sheet yet." Rupert said helplessly, "I can only make up for it by attacking." ”
The morale of Mainz, who pulled the goal back, was boosted, and manager Schmidt stood on the sidelines of the pitch, commanding his team loudly. At the beginning of the first half, Mainz was the main opponent and played very actively, but there was no gain, but Dortmund took the lead in scoring the goal. At the start of the second half, Schmidt repeated his old tricks, but he didn't expect to finally get something this time.
Mainz continued to intensify their attack and they saw hope of an equaliser. The fat man had to retreat to the vicinity of the center circle and actively participate in the defense. The fat man knows that he must activate the heat flow, this is the first home game of the new season, the fat man does not want to be tied or lose the game, although activating the heat flow may lead to lack of physical strength, but the fat man can no longer take care of so much, win the game first.
However, Tuchel's coach has stopped giving the fat man a chance, and with 55 minutes to play, Dortmund made personnel changes. The fat man was substituted, and it was Schurrle who replaced the fat man; Castro was also substituted, and it was Weigl who came on in his place.
'Boris, what do you think of Coach Tuchel's change?' Dicker asked.
"Mainz have been attacking aggressively lately and the team needs to strengthen their defense, and replacing Castro with Weigel, who is better defensively, is a good substitution; As for Pang being replaced, I can't understand it, I think Pang has done a good job in attack and defense, but Kagawa, Dembele and Pang should be replaced more. ”
"Gotze currently has a small injury on his body, and he is not in good shape, so he is not suitable to replace Kagawa at the moment; Pulisic's current form is not as good as Dembele's, so he had to replace Pang with Schurrle, and the most important thing is that Pang has a yellow card, and Tuchel coach is probably afraid that Pang will be sent off if he eats the card again when defending. Dicker analyzed.
"Man, I know you have a point, but you know that Pang has a characteristic, every time the team is in trouble, Pang plays better." Rupert explained.
"Pang has been replaced, how much useless, let's continue to watch the game and see if Dortmund can withstand Mainz's attack and win this game at home." Dicker changed the subject.
The fat man was furious when he found out he had been replaced by Coach Tuchel. It feels like a war, this gun is loaded, and it's about to fight, and suddenly it's replaced. The fat man came off the pitch with a black face and sat on the bench without any communication with Coach Tuchel on the sidelines.
'Pang seemed so angry that he didn't even give a high-five to Tuchel when he came off the pitch and went back to the bench, and he shouldn't have been happy with Tuchel's substitutions. Dicker said, looking at the big screen.
'Pang is still too young, he wants to win this game so much, I hope that this behavior of Pang will not affect the relationship between Pang and Tuchel coach, and there will be no problem between the two.' Rupert looked worried.
Coach Tuchel glanced back at the fat man with a serious look on his face, and he never paid attention to the fat man again. Coach Tuchel felt that the fat man was too emotional, in fact, in the first half, when he saw the fat man give up the breakthrough, Tuchel coach wanted to replace the fat man, and the subsequent yellow card accelerated Tuchel's decision. Coach Tuchel can't do this, because Schurrle, who plays in the same position as the fat man, has been doing very well recently, and Schurrle has a higher value than the fat man, and he is also a German international, Tuchel can't keep Schurrle on the bench.
"Pong, you shouldn't do that." Weidenfeller persuaded.
'Roman, I don't want to be replaced, I can help the team.' The fat man explained.
'I know, but you've got a yellow card and Tuchel had to do it.' Roman analyzed.
Hearing Weidenfeller's words, the fat man's heart was a lot less angry, but he was still uncomfortable, because the fat man always felt that he was not valued by Tuchel's coach.
'Roman, why do you think Coach Tuchel doesn't like me?' The fat man asked.
"Pang, why do you think that?" Weidenfeller was surprised.
'I haven't played a full game for the team since I joined Borussia Dortmund, either being substituted or coming off the bench, not once having played 90 minutes. The fat man complained.
"Pang, I understand what you mean, but this is the reality, you have to accept it, every newcomer comes over like this." Weidenfeller advised.
"But Dembele is also a newcomer and has already played several full games." The fat man was not convinced.
'Dembele is special, he plays as a right winger, there are fewer players to compete for, and he has been playing well lately, so he has only played a few games; You're playing as a striker and you're going to have to compete with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and although you're playing as a left winger now, Schurrle is in good form, so Tuchel has to give him a chance. Weidenfeller explains.
"I'm looking forward to a full game." The fat man sighed.
"Pong, don't care about the playing time, the goals and assists are what you should care about, this is the embodiment of your value. Dortmund is facing a three-tier battle in the new season, rotation is a must, with your current state, as long as you have no physical problems, in the future games, you want to play as much as you want. Weidenfeller said.
"I hope so." The fat man said, "Thank you, Roman, I'm in a much better mood now." ”
On the pitch, although Mainz was attacking fiercely during this time, they were unable to score and wasted a lot of opportunities. Dortmund withstood Mainz's attack and quickly turned the game back. The two sides fought against each other, and the scene of you coming and going on the court was very beautiful. Borussia Dortmund's new arrival Schurrle was very active, constantly attacking the Mainz goal.
Sixty-five minutes into the game, Schurrle received a pass from Schmelzer on the left and cut inside to open the gap for a long-range shot, but the ball was slightly over the crossbar.
'Schurrle was very resolute in his cut, but he shot a little bit more and the ball went a little over the crossbar. Dicker commented: "Schurrle has shown a strong desire to attack. ”
Seventy minutes into the game, Dortmund won a set-piece near the midfield, Weigel hoisted the ball towards goal, but the ball was cleared by the Mainz defenders. Schurrle met the ball on the left flank of the penalty area with a long-range shot, but Mainz goalkeeper Rosser reacted in time to save the ball.
"Schurrle's shot was of very good quality, just a little bit from a good angle." Rubeus commented: "Schurrle was in great form today, with 20 minutes to go and he had a chance to score his first goal of the season. ”
Eighty minutes into the game, Schurrle's attack finally paid off. Schurrle and Dembele had a cross-switch, taking advantage of the chaotic moment in Mainz's defense, Schurrle received a pass from Weigel and broke through to the penalty area, Mainz defender No. 2 Donati hastily pulled Schurrle, Schurrle fell into the opponent's penalty area. The referee decisively awarded a penalty and gave Mainz No. 2 Donati a yellow card.
'Penalty, penalty, Schurrle created a penalty. Dicker was very excited, "Schurrle's breakthrough was very resolute, and the Mainz defenders obviously couldn't keep up with his speed and made low-level mistakes in a hurry. ”
"Will Schurrle take the penalty himself? Still is...... Oh, Schurrle conceded a penalty to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and he gave up his chance to score his first league goal. Rupert was a little surprised.
'It must have been arranged by Coach Tuchel, I saw him gesturing to the players on the sidelines!' Dicker affirmed, "We'll see if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can score a brace." ”
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gently placed the ball on the spot-kick and then slotted it in.
"The ball is in! Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scores a penalty! Dicker shouted, "Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang deceived the Mainz goalkeeper and scored his second goal of the game, congratulations!" ”
'Hopefully this penalty will boost Aubameyang's confidence, and he and Pang will be two of Dortmund's most powerful weapons in the new season.' Rubeer commented.
Aubameyang had a smile of relief on his face after seeing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang score the penalty. His two substitutions proved correct in the second half, with Weigel delivering a crucial pass to Schurrle and Schurrle creating a penalty that both played their due role in the second half. As if remembering something, Coach Tuchel suddenly turned his head to look at the bench, his gaze lingered on the fat man for a moment before leaving. The fat man was chatting with Weidenfellerje and not noticing the meaningful gaze of Coach Tuchel.
The Tuchel coach has set his final eye on veteran Piszczek for the replacement of Dortmund right-back Paslak, who is under pressure defensively.
