As soon as the press conference ended, the fat man followed the team to the Shanghai Stadium for the first training session. I have to say that Coach Tuchel is really a training maniac, and the training has already started before the jet lag has even reversed when the team arrives in Shanghai.www.biquge.info

Shanghai Stadium, also known as Shanghai 80,000 Stadium, is a very modern stadium and the home of Chinese Super League team Shanghai SIPG.

The first feeling of the fat man entering the stadium is that it is stuffy, because this time is the sauna season in Shanghai, and the stadium turf has just been watered, standing in the stadium has a feeling of sauna. The fat man knows that tomorrow night's game will definitely be very tough, not because of the opponent, but because of the weather.

It wasn't until the evening that the fat man had time to call his parents and report that he was safe. With six days between Dortmund's games, the fat man decided to take some time to go home and visit his parents.

The next morning, the team went to the Shanghai Stadium for training, and the weather was still very hot. Although the training only lasted for a little more than an hour, everyone was sweating profusely and consumed a lot. The fat man couldn't help but worry about the evening game, because the team only flew to Shanghai yesterday afternoon, and they will play tonight, and their physical fitness is a severe test. 'In a game in this kind of weather, Coach Tuchel will definitely rotate a large area, and it is estimated that each player will only play half a game, and his brother broke out early. The fat man thought silently.

Thomas Tuchel also took note of the hot and humid weather in Shanghai and did not schedule training in the afternoon, instead leaving his players to rest in a hotel.

The game is about to start at 8 o'clock in the evening, and the Shanghai Stadium is already full of spectators, and the crowd is very lively. The fat man warmed up on the sidelines and found that nearly eighty percent of the fans in the stadium were wearing Manchester United's red jerseys, while less than two percent wore Dortmund jerseys.

'Brother must break out tonight, I want more Chinese fans to wear my brother's No. 9 jersey, it's all money!' The fat man's heart was full of fighting spirit.

Today's game CCTV CCTV5 was broadcast live, and the commentators are He Wei and Xu Yang, who are familiar with the fat man, and the two are currently well-known football commentary partners in China. Although the game did not start, the two were already chatting.

"Tonight's match is the first match of the International Champions Cup and it was very interesting. Not only are both European giants, but these two teams have a lot of fan support in China, so tonight's game is destined to be a battle between dragons and tigers. He Wei first made an opening remark.

"It's true, Manchester United has a lot of supporters in China because of the recent frequent travel to Asia for matches and commercial promotion; Although Dortmund does not come to China to participate in many games, because CCTV Sports Channel has been broadcasting Bundesliga matches in recent years, Dortmund actually has many fans in China. Xu Yang talked eloquently, "Both teams have undergone a big change this summer, Manchester United not only changed the manager Mourinho, but also introduced Ibrahimovic, Bailly, Mitaryan and other giants; Dortmund also took a lot of main players, and at the same time entered young players such as Pang Hao, so this game is very important for both teams and is a very good training opportunity. ”

"In fact, there are a lot of highlights in this match, such as Kagawa and Msitaryan, they will both face their old clubs, and it is worth paying attention to whether they can fight back. However, the fans are most concerned about the performance of Chinese player Pang Hao, after all, Dortmund is also a first-class team in Europe, and Pang Hao's successful joining this summer is already very remarkable. He Wei echoed.

"Pang Hao's joining Dortmund is indeed an exciting thing for the Chinese people, after all, another Chinese player appears in the top five European leagues." Xu Yang continued, "Counting the previous Yang Chen, Shao Jiayi and Zhang Xizhe, Pang Hao is the fourth Chinese player to play in the Bundesliga. ”

"In the new season, I believe that when CCTV broadcasts the Bundesliga, it will broadcast more Dortmund games, so that the majority of fans can see the performance of Chinese player Pang Hao." He Wei suggested, "In fact, Dortmund has played four warm-up games before coming to China, and Pang Hao scored 9 goals, and his performance was very eye-catching. ”

"Pang Hao joined Dortmund for 30 million euros, and his strength is beyond doubt." Xu Yang echoed, "The biggest attraction of this game is Pang Hao's performance in Dortmund. ”

"Both of these teams are strong teams in Europe, but the two teams have not had much of a head-to-head record, with only six meetings between the two teams in the past, with Manchester United having a slight advantage with three wins, one draw and two defeats. The last time the two teams met was in the 1996/97 Champions League semi-finals, with Borussia Dortmund beating Manchester United home and away. However, the history of these encounters is too early to represent the strength of the two teams at the moment. He Wei continued.

Today's two commentators were very excited and talked a lot about the recent situation of the two teams, of course, as well as the recent things about the fat man in the Bundesliga, but they all did not talk about the contradiction between the fat man and the Football Association, after all, it is too bad to talk about this topic at this time.

The game is about to start, the fat man follows his teammates to the start, and not far from him are the players of Manchester United, all of whom are familiar players to the fat man. However, Manchester United did not wear the familiar red shirt in this game, but wore the blue shirt of the away game.

However, what makes the fat man more depressed is that there are many main players in this Manchester United team, such as the fat man's idol Ibrahimovic, as well as Schweinsteiger, Fellaini, Martial and Darmian, etc., did not come to China, and Rooney, De Gea and Carrick did not enter the 18-man squad although they came to China with the team; Borussia Dortmund's injured Reuss, Guerrero, who has not yet returned, and Gotze and Schurrle, who have just joined, did not come. This year, because of the European Cup, many stars did not follow the team to China, making this game a little starry.

“…… After introducing the basic situation of the two teams, let's introduce the starting lineups of both teams in this game. He Wei flipped through the information, "...... On the Manchester United side, goalkeeper Johnstone, defenders Valencia, Rojo, Bailly, Luke Shaw, midfielders Blind, Herrera, Mata, Msitaryan and Lingard, striker Depay, Manchester United played in a 4231 formation; On Dortmund's side, goalkeeper Weidenfeller, defenders Paslak, Socoradis, Bender and Schmelzer, midfielders Rode, Castro, Dembele and Kagawa, forwards Pang Hao and Aubameyang, Dortmund played in a 442 formation......"

When He Wei introduced the starting lineups of the two teams, the referee had already blew the whistle for the start of the game. This is the first time the fat man has faced Manchester United, and to be honest, the fat man is still a little nervous. However, soon after the game started, the fat man's heart was calm. The two teams fought around the midfield, and the fat man was also involved.

The game lasted five minutes and the two teams were still locked in midfield. The Manchester United players are very individual and very technical, but they are a little rusty to work together; Borussia Dortmund were a bit better to play together, but United were able to return well after conceding the goal, and Dortmund, despite playing fluently, did not get a good chance.

"Manchester United lost the ball and collected it more powerfully, it should be ready to play defensive counterattack tactics, but their cooperation is a little rusty, and the goal is conceded relatively quickly......," He Wei commented, "Dortmund players cooperate better, but there are not many ways to attack the 30-meter area in front of Manchester United, and neither team has played its best ......"

"Manchester United only played one warm-up game before coming to China, a 2-0 win over League One champions Wigan Athletic, this game is their second warm-up game, Mourinho's transformation of the team has just begun...... Xu Yang explained, "Dortmund is better, due to the early training camp, they have played four warm-up games, the players have obviously been more tacit before......

As the game progressed, the cooperation of the two teams gradually became threatening. Ten minutes into the game, Mata played a counter-attack and Mata played the ball through to Depay, but Depay was a little slow to start and was cut off by Socoradis who was dragged behind.

'Oh, Depay was a little slow to start, he was closer to the ball, but Dortmund's centre-back Socoradis cut off the ball and wasted a chance to form a one-on-one. He Wei was a little regretful, "Depay was not in good shape today, I didn't feel excited enough, and Depay would not miss this kind of opportunity ......in the past."

"Depay has had an abdominal groin injury before, and although he has recovered now, this injury is easy to recur, so Depay played a little conservatively today, and he may not have adjusted to his best competitive condition." Xu Yang explained, "It can be seen that although Mourinho has not been accepting Manchester United for a long time, defensive counter-attacking tactics are still his first choice......

The fat man has been operating on the right side of the team, and it is none other than Manchester United centre-back Eric Bailly who is opposite the fat man. Bailly is an Ivory Coast international, who previously played for Espanyol and Villarreal in La Liga, and was recruited by Manchester United for 38 million euros this summer. The fat man had the heart to rely on his body to force Bailly, but Luke Shaw's frequent assistance in defense made the fat man break through repeatedly in vain. Luke Shaw is Manchester United's left wing-back, and although he is not very tall, he has very good skills. With him on the side to help defend Bailly, the fat man did not take advantage of the attack.

Before the game, the fat man was still thinking about making a big move, but he didn't expect the game to fall into a bitter battle at the beginning. "Sure enough, the idea is very plump, and the reality is very skinny" The fat man laughed at himself, "Brother was too self-righteous before the game, Manchester United is not those soft persimmons before, and it needs to be taken seriously." ’

"Pang Hao's attack on the front line has encountered a lot of resistance, although Bailly is not strong, but he is very fast, coupled with Luke Shaw's assisted defense, it is more difficult for Pang Hao to break through the defense of the two." He Wei commented.

'Manchester United are deep in defence and have less space at the back. Pang Hao should be more patient when attacking, play more with his teammates, and look for loopholes in Manchester United's defense is the best policy. Xu Yang echoed.

On the pitch, Dortmund gradually increased the investment of offensive forces, and the offensive became more and more fierce, but it was still scoreless. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fell into the offside trap and Dembele made a number of mistakes. Manchester United's backline is obviously much stronger than its previous opponents, and the coordinated protection is very good, and the fat man has been repeatedly defended by Manchester United's players when he gets the ball, and Dortmund's front attack is in great trouble.

'It is difficult for conventional weapons to break through Bailly's defense, so they can only use heat flow, but even if they use heat flow, they have to look for opportunities, and Bailly has Luke Shaw to help defend him, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to succeed even if he uses heat flow. The fat man summed up the gains and losses while playing, "The timing is very important when playing against Manchester United, because the opponent's co-defense has become a system, and you can only start when the opponent's defense is weak!" ’

At this time, there were also two people in front of the TV who were very concerned about the fat man's performance on the court, and it was the fat man's parents.

"After the game started, it felt like Haozi was struggling and it was difficult to break through the defense of Bailly and Luke Shaw. The fat man's mother stared at the TV, worried.

"Dortmund's previous warm-up opponents were still too weak to face a real test, today is the first test for Haozi, and Bailly and Luke Shaw are the best touchstones to test Haozi's strength." The fat man's father had a serious expression.

"Do you think Hiroko has a chance to score in this game?" The fat man's mother continued to ask.

"There must be a chance, it depends on how Pang Hao seizes the opportunity." The fat man's father replied, "The key to this game is Haozi's ability to grasp opportunities. ”

On the pitch, Borussia Dortmund's massive attack gave United the chance to counter-attack. Ten minutes into the game, Dembele was caught in the middle by a Manchester United player as he cut inside with the ball. United immediately counter-attacked, Juan Mata found Depay up front with a long pass, Depay just got the ball, and the outflanked Lingard and Mitaryan fired in unison, giving United a chance to play three and one in front. However, Depay's cross was blocked by Socoradis when he passed the ball down the middle, and the ball was blocked off the touchline.

"Manchester United's counter-attack was too sharp, and if Depay passes it, he will definitely score." He Wei was full of disappointment, "Lingard and Mitaryan were very quick to cut forward, and Dortmund's backline was completely empty. ”

"It's really a pity that this goal didn't work out three or one." Xu Yang shook his head, "Mourinho on the sidelines has been recording something with a small notebook, and he is not satisfied with this goal." ”

"Dortmund is strong in attack and weak in defence, and Socoradis has made a contribution to this goal, he was very calm when defending Depay, and accurately blocked Depay's passing lanes." He Wei continued.

"Dortmund press higher in attack, so we must try to reduce mistakes as much as possible to prevent Manchester United from counterattacking, and the players in the back line can't press too far forward when attacking, so that the space at the back is too big. Xu Yang commented.

Manchester United's counterattack also made the fat man break out in a cold sweat, especially when he saw Manchester United's frontcourt get a three-on-one opportunity, the fat man thought he was going to lose the ball, but he didn't expect the veteran Socoradis to save the team. In fact, the fat man knows that Dortmund still has a problem in the midfield, Dortmund wants to complete a quick pass, the distance between the players cannot be too far, so the three lines must be advanced at the same time, and then the gap in the back line will be exposed, and the midfield will become very fatal when the ball is lost.

Coach Tuchel shouted loudly on the sidelines, clearly unhappy with the goal he conceded in midfield. Dembele hung his head even more and didn't say a word. Dembele wanted to rely on individual breakthroughs to help the team, but he almost turned it out to be self-defeating.

In fact, playing against strong teams is like this, not making mistakes is the first thing, and breakthroughs and the display of personal ability need to find opportunities, and doing it alone can only make the team more passive.

After the fat man saw Dembele's mistake this time, he secretly strengthened the idea just now. 'Brother even if he breaks through after activating the heat flow, he has to wait for the opportunity, otherwise he is likely to return in vain, none of this top strong team is a soft persimmon. ’

"Although Dortmund has the advantage of possession, in fact, the direct threat to Manchester United is not great, but Manchester United's counterattack has created several good opportunities, but it is a pity that Depay is not in good form today." He Wei commented.

"The two teams are completely two styles, Dortmund pays attention to ball control, Manchester United grasps counterattacks, in fact, both teams are masters of counterattacks, but Manchester United relied on quick defense after losing the ball to suppress Dortmund's counterattack." Xu Yang analyzed.

At this time, the fat man kicked more freely because he had already determined the idea in his heart. Although he never got a chance, the fat man still kept running, constantly pulling the Manchester United defence, creating opportunities for his teammates, and waiting for his chance.
