Chapter 21: The Victory over St. Pauli

At half-time, the two commentators were commenting on the performance of both teams in the first half of the game. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

'Frankly, Borussia Dortmund didn't play well in the first half. Except for the score, which is satisfactory, everything else is not satisfactory. The team's midfield control has not improved, resulting in unsatisfactory attack and defence. Defensively, St. Pauli can pose a threat to us on every counter-attack due to the unfavorable interception in the midfield, and although St. Pauli did not score, they created several very good scoring opportunities; There are more problems in attack, the team relies too much on the strikers to score, the attacking power of the midfield in the past is not reflected, although the Chinese boy contributed a goal and an assist, he did not integrate well into the team, and he still has a lot of room for improvement in passing the ball. Rupert was the first to speak, and he spoke eloquently.

"Boris, you're right." Dicker chimed in, "Although Dortmund played in the 442 formation in the first half, the Chinese boy actually played the previous Reuss position because he was standing behind Pierremeyang. One goal and one assist, although a good statistic, is entirely a reflection of the individual ability of the Chinese boys, and does not reflect the power of Tuchel's coach's tactics. I think if the Chinese boy can integrate his individual qualities into Tuchel's coaches, then he will be even more dangerous. ”

At this time, the fat man was listening to Tuchel's coaches in the dressing room with his teammates. Coach Tuchel is summing up the first half and the performances of each player. Schmelzer, the forward assist is not enough; Castro, slow to retreat defensively, didn't do enough to protect Bender; Rhodes, who was slow to pass the ball and didn't support Castro enough when defending...... Pang Hao, lack of running, lack of ability to pass forward to threaten the ball......

The fat man noticed that Dembele, who had been active before, was unusually quiet at the moment. In the first half of this game, Dembele's performance can be said to be terrible. In the face of the tough defense of the St. Pauli players, Dembele's thin body limited his technical performance. If Dembele's performance in the first two games was like a fish in water, Dembele's performance in this game was like a fish falling into the mud and unable to move. Tuchel's coach summed him up by a lack of physical confrontation.

Before the start of the second half, Dortmund made personnel changes. Coach Tuchel replaced the injured Bender with Larsson and Moore for Dembele, who struggled in the first half. Borussia Dortmund switched to a 352 formation.

'Boris, what do you think of the two changes to coach Tuchel? Dicker asked.

'The result of these two substitutions is that Dortmund have one more man in midfield and one less man at the back. Coach Tuchel has a sense of strengthening the midfield. Rupert analyzed, "But this adjustment itself is a double-edged sword, because if the Dortmund midfield does not achieve the desired effect, then the back line is in danger!" ”

"That's true." Dicker nodded, "Although St. Pauli is a Bundesliga team, their strength is still very good, especially the counterattack, concise and sharp. ”

At the start of the second half, the fat man was at the front this time, level with Aubameyang. Thanks to Coach Tuchel's addition of one man in midfield, the fat man was completely liberated.

However, after the start of the second half, St. Pauli strengthened the defense on the wing, which made it difficult for Moore and Rod on the side to cross, and Kagawa in the forward position was given special care by the St. Pauli team, and Dortmund's front-court attack began to be frequently blocked.

After blocking Dortmund's attack, St. Pauli began to play counter-attack, and the goal was quite clear, that is, to play the two wings of the Dortmund backline, and under the back three, Dortmund's wings had more gaps to exploit.

In the 50th minute of the game, after St. Pauli broke the ball at the back, he directly made a long pass to winger Mayne, who took the ball and dribbled the ball along the side to Dortmund's bottom line, and passed the ball to the middle before Schmelzer came to defend. Nicholas Nico, who flanked in the middle, cut in the ribs between Schmelzer and Socoradis and knocked on the door with a volley from goalkeeper Weidenfeller.

“…… St. Pauli's counterattack, Mayne was breaking through with the ball, Schmelzer ran over to defend...... "Dicker is nervous," Mayne passed the ball to the middle, dangerous! Nicko's shot ......"

"Ball...... Entered! Dicker said helplessly, "Nicoo found the gap in the ribs of the Dortmund backline and scored without being guarded!" ”

"In the current situation, Dortmund is still too reluctant to play a back three." Rubeutt commented, "There is too much space in the ribs, and once the defender at the front point can't block the passing lane, there will be a big gap in the back for the opposition striker to take advantage of. The other two midfielders, Larsson and Castro, were a bit slow to return and not support enough at the back. ”

In the dugout, Thomas Tuchel kept shaking his head, unhappy with his team's defence. Because according to the tactical requirements, Dortmund should have rebounded on the spot when they lost the ball in attack, but Rod and Kagawa did not do this well, even if they couldn't grab it, they had to jam the opponent's forward passing line, which the two did not do well. The barrier in midfield did not work, and it was not surprising that the backline was penetrated by opponents.

The Dortmund fans, who had been laughing and laughing, finally stopped the noise. They didn't expect St. Pauli to pull a goal back so quickly.

'The team's defense is too poor, and after the traitor Hummels, Dortmund's defense at the back is too poor. Said one fan.

"After Bender's injury, only Socoradis is the only nominal central defender left in Dortmund, Subodic is making a transfer, Baltra has not returned, and there is really a shortage of people in the central defender position in Dortmund's backline." Said a longtime fan.

On the pitch, St. Pauli played more aggressively after the goal, and they hoarded heavy troops and the backfield, and resolutely played Dortmund on the counterattack. The fat man thought that he would be able to get more support on the front line in the second half, but now it seems that he is thinking too much. Although the Dortmund midfielder has reverted to a five-man configuration and the passing is very fluid, Kagawa is the only one who threatens the ball. And Kagawa has been seen to death by St. Pauli, in this case Dortmund's attack is thunder is loud, rain is small, fat man and Aubameyang on the front line, although they are constantly running, but they have become useless.

Seeing that the team's attack was blocked, Tuchel coach made a decisive substitution, and Shaheen came on to replace Rode. Shaheen was the heart of Borussia Dortmund's midfield before his move to Real Madrid, a player who could play both offensively and defensively, and although he had been on the bench for a few years at Real Madrid, his ability to decline somewhat, he was still a player that Tuchel's coach relied on a lot. The key is that Shahin and Kagawa cooperate very well, Shahin not only has strong defensive ability, but also has a good ability to pass the ball, and can take over Kagawa to take on the task of team organization.

'Coach Tuchel replaced Rod with Shaheen and it was the right substitution. Dicker commented, "With Kagawa being watched dead by his opponents, Rhodes didn't take on the team's offensive responsibilities and he needed time to adapt to his new role. ”

"That's right, in the past, there were a lot of people in Dortmund's midfield who threatened the ball, like Reus, Mitaryan, Gundogan and Kagawa, etc., they all had the ability to pass the ball and make the opponent unguardable." Rupert explained, "But now that these people are gone, the only person left on the team to pass the ball is Kagawa, which is not good!" Rode, Moore and Dembele they must take on these responsibilities as soon as possible! ”

After Shaheen came on, Dortmund's attack was noticeably better. Shaheen's play-and-hold organization has led to youngsters such as Larsson and Moore, and with the support of Castro in the back, Shaheen is fully capable of shouldering the team's attacking responsibilities. The St. Pauli midfield's defense began to take care of one or the other, and it was too difficult to defend Kagawa and limit Shahin.

In the 60th minute of the game, after receiving Castro's pass, Shaheen cut directly into the middle, and sent a direct pass before the St. Pauli defense blocked, and the target was the fat man. It was supposed to be an opportunity for an anti-offside one-shot goal, but the fat man's start was a little slow, and the running position was not optimal, the fat man just received the ball, and was entangled by St. Pauli central defender Keys, but the fat man had a way to deal with this situation, and directly leaned on the opponent to forcibly wipe it, and Keith had to stretch out his foot and trip the fat man. With the referee's whistle, the penalty is added with a yellow card. The fat man created a penalty for the team.

“…… Shahin's direct pass after the inside cut, beautiful! Dicker was instantly excited, "Oh, the Chinese boy started slowly, got entangled by the defenders, and lost a single ...... Oh my God, the Chinese boy forcibly wiped it ......"

"Foul! The referee awarded a penalty and the Chinese boy created a penalty for Borussia Dortmund! Dicker was excited again, "The Chinese boy relied on his outstanding strength to win a penalty for the team, congratulations!" ”

Rupert was a little angry when he saw that the single knife opportunity he had in his hand was almost wasted by the fat man. However, after he saw that the fat man used his personal ability to create a penalty for Dortmund, his anger immediately disappeared.

'It was a one-on-one chance, but it was a penalty opportunity. Rupert pouted, "The Chinese boys should learn how to run with Aubameyang, it will make it easier for him to score." ”

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stood in front of the penalty kick and scored his second goal of the game with a powerful smash. The fat man, the penalty taker, didn't even get an assist. (Bundesliga penalties do not count as assists)

"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's penalty ......" Dicker stared at the ball, "The ball went in, Aubameyang calmly scored his second goal of the game, congratulations!" Borussia Dortmund once again led St. Pauli by two goals. ”

"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is very calm with this goal!" Rupert praised, "He is still the most reliable player in Dortmund!" ”

Dortmund fans in front of the TV watched their fears disappear after seeing their team take a two-goal lead again, and they didn't want to see their side equalized by St. Pauli.

'Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the penalty and scored twice, which is fantastic!' Kyle said, "Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is really a blessing for Borussia Dortmund. ”

"Kyle, don't forget who created the penalty." Mark retorted, "The Chinese boy was the biggest contributor to this goal!" ”

"If this penalty is kicked by a Chinese boy, it may not be scored!" Kyle sneered, "The Chinese boy almost messed up a single chance just now, but fortunately he made up for it, otherwise the commentator Rupert's criticism of him would not be so gentle!" ”

"Rupert is too demanding of the Chinese boys, he has just joined the team, and he has not fully integrated into the team!" Mark was not convinced, "Wait, the Chinese boy will score again." ”

After the goal, Aubameyang was once again sought after by the fans, but this time he did not do the trademark front flip, but ran to the sidelines to interact with the fans, leaving the fat man with a clear back, and leaving a haze in the fat man's heart, the fat man's desire to score goals was stronger.

However, the Dortmund fans at the scene were happy for less than ten minutes before they were hit again! In the 70th minute of the game, St. Pauli won a free kick opportunity in front of the counter-attack. After the ball was hoisted towards the goal, there was chaos in the Dortmund penalty area, and in the chaos, St. Pauli striker Nicoo stabbed the Dortmund goal again, and stubbornly made the score 2:3.

“…… The ball was hoisted in front of goal by a St. Pauli player...... "Dicker was a little nervous, "Oh, Socoradis didn't reach the ball, it's dangerous......"

"Ball...... Entered! Dicker shook his head frustratedly, "There was chaos in front of Dortmund's goal, and St. Pauli striker Nico's clever stab again made a difference for the team, and they were only one goal behind. ”

'This time the team's set-piece defence was a problem. Rupert was a little dissatisfied, 'Three games, every game the team conceded a goal, it's so disappointing, Tuchel coach has a long way to go to revamp the team's backline! ”

In the dugout, Coach Tuchel raised and lowered his hands with a look of helplessness. As soon as the team improved its attack, the defense immediately had problems again, which made him very frustrated. However, this problem is not easy to solve, because the team's back line is in height, and the players involved in the defense, whether it is Castro or Larsson, are not big men, so it is a bit difficult for them to intercept high balls.

Since then, the fitness of the players of both teams has declined, and the St. Pauli team has increased the investment of attacking forces in order to equalize, and the two teams have directly attacked each other. The fat man knew his chance had come, because the fat man found that Aubameyang was a little unable to run.

In the 85th minute of the game, Kagawa, who has been unknown, suddenly broke out, got rid of the defender, and passed the ball to Aubameyang, which was originally the same one-knife opportunity as the fat man's ball, but Aubameyang started a little slowly due to the decline in physical strength, and was stuck in the position by the defender in advance, Aubameyang had to pass the ball back to Kagawa, Kagawa did not stop the ball, and passed the ball directly to the fat man. In the face of the defense of Keys and Halles, the fat man did not choose to break through, but chose to cut inside, dodge the gap, and it was a long-range shot.

"Oh, Aubameyang missed his chance......" Dicker was a little disappointed, "he passed the ball back to Kagawa......"

“…… Kagawa passes the ball to the Chinese boy again! Dicker rekindled hope, "The Chinese boy chose to cut inside, dodging the defenders, and the chances were ...... Shot ......"

"The ball is in! Chinese boy scores twice! Dicker shouted excitedly, "The position of the Chinese boy to receive the ball is a little far away from the goal, but his inward cut is very decisive, and the angle of the shot is even more tricky, and a world wave hit the second goal of the game, congratulations to him!" ”

Rupert, who has been spraying the fat man, chose to shut up this time, the fat man's goal was impeccable, and he couldn't find a reason to spray. Because Aubameyang had missed the opportunity before, he didn't open his mouth to criticize, and it would be too out of place to be nitpicky at this time.

The fans who had been silent before finally gave the biggest cheers, and the fat man's goal finally gave them a reassurance, and they finally didn't have to worry, the team was equalized or reversed by the St. Pauli team, and the game has been won.

The fat man directly celebrated his goal with a sliding kneeling motion, and then ran to the Chinese students who supported him to celebrate.

"Pang Hao, come on!"

"Pang Hao, good job!"

"Pang Hao, this goal of yours is so beautiful!"

The fat man finally heard the long-lost praise, and it was a native praise, which made the fat man very happy. Even if the fat man is not supported by Dortmund fans now, at least there are Chinese fans who support the fat man, which makes the fat man's heart full of motivation to move forward!

"Haha, Kyle, I guessed right, the Chinese boy scored again!" Mark was excited, "He's a great striker, he's just as good as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's scoring ability! ”

"Hmph, it's just luck!" Kyle was not convinced, "The Chinese boy is still far behind Aubameyang." ”

"Kyle, you're so stubborn that you haven't noticed the talent of Chinese boys at all." Mark was elated, "I will be a fan of Chinese boys in the future, I want to buy a jersey of his, and I will not call him Chinese boys in the future." Well, I call him 'Pang'! ”

The fat man's goal really changed the opinion of many Dortmund fans about him. Scoring a goal in one game is luck, and scoring in two games is not entirely by luck, but also by strength. After these two games, among Dortmund fans, there are already many fans like Mark, who have begun to turn around and support the fat man. As Fat Man gets better and better, and Fat Man has the support of most Dortmund fans, it will be a matter of course.

In the dugout, Coach Tuchel finally had a smile on his face when he saw the fat man's goal. There were a lot of defensive problems in this game, and it was a good result to get a win. After the last game, Zorc approached him to talk about the fat man's position on the pitch, but Tuchel's coach did not give Zolke a clear answer, citing experimentation. However, after today's game, Coach Tuchel's mind has a clearer idea of the use of fat people. Pang would still be more suitable as a striker, but Dortmund will need to bring in one or two more experienced midfielders to strengthen their midfield before Reus returns from injury. Tuchel has a decision in mind.

Once again, St. Pauli fell behind by two goals and completely lost hope of equalizing, and the St. Pauli manager also changed a number of substitutes, and finally Dortmund won 4-2 against St. Pauli.

After the competition, the fat man walked up to the group of Chinese students and took a group photo with autographs. Zhang Yuwei also became the first person to get the fat man's signature after joining Dortmund.

"Pang Hao, you kicked awesomely! Sign me for it! Zhang Yuwei's eyes were full of admiration.

"This is my first signature after joining Dort, remember to keep it well, he will appreciate soon!" After the fat man signed his name, he said jokingly.

Although the game is over, the work of the two commentators is not over, and they still have to make a final summary of the game.

"It was a tough game and Dortmund won but it was a very difficult process. We were beaten twice by St. Pauli and that says a lot. The biggest problem is at the back, our defenders are still too young. It's a bit early to tell, though, because we have two new players at the back who haven't reported in. The midfield is still an old problem, there are too few points on the ball, too few people dare to pass the ball, Rode, Moore and Dembele have all played, but there is a lot of gap between their performance and the departure of Msitaryan, Gundogan and Reus. I'm most satisfied with the attack, and with Aubameyang there, the team's goals are guaranteed. Rupert was the first to speak.

Although the fat man scored two goals in this game, sent an assist, and also made a penalty, he was still ignored by Rupert, the only thing to be thankful for is that Rupert did not spray the fat man, which is already a big improvement. Dicker saw that his friend deliberately ignored the comments on the Chinese boy, and he knew it well, after all, from the beginning, this tone was set.

"Dortmund's strength last season was due to our strong attacking firepower, and the strength of the attack was due to our strong midfield, so the quality of the midfield is the key to Dortmund's strength." Dikel said, "In three games, Coach Tuchel tried a lot of players in midfield, but the effect was not good, the data in my hand has spoken for itself, the midfielders have a big gap with last season in terms of possession, pass success rate, number of passes threatened, number of shots on goal, etc., I think this gap can not be made up in a short period of time, the best solution is to bring in strong reinforcements." ”

As soon as the game ended, the team announced its disbandment. The fat man changed his clothes from the team's locker room and drove Zhang Yuwei away. Along the way, Zhang Yuwei chattered non-stop. Zhang Yuwei came to watch the fat man game for the first time, and she was excited to see the fat man score two goals in the game. And after she got the fat man's first autograph, the envious eyes of other Chinese students made her understand that although the fat man has not yet become famous in Dortmund, he is already a household name in China. In addition, the friends around her kept asking her about the fat man's situation, so that the fire of love for the fat man that had been extinguished burned again. But Zhang Yuwei knew that the fat man didn't mean that to her, so she had to silently bury this emotion in her heart.

After returning to the apartment, after the two of them had a quick meal, the fat man began his German lesson. By the time the German class was over, it was already past 10 p.m. After sending Zhang Yuwei back to school, the fat man lay on the bed and entered the system training. For an entire night, Rita didn't contact the fat man. The fat man couldn't help but sigh, Rita was really a white-eyed wolf, and he stopped paying attention to the fat man as soon as he achieved his goal. (To be continued.) )
