The match starts sharply at 7pm local time in Dortmund. As soon as the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info opened, Union Berlin launched an active scramble in the midfield, and played against Dortmund. Dortmund used fast passing to counteract, but the effect was average, because many players on the field were on the field for the first time, and the cooperation with teammates lacked tacit understanding, and the mistakes continued, and the game between the two teams showed a state of anxiety.

'Both teams had five players in midfield and it looked like they were going to fight for midfield...... Dicker said.

"With all five of Union Berlin's midfielders and Borussia Dortmund's five of them all having attacking duties, it was a battle of attack and defence......," commented Rubeer.

It really made Rupert guess correctly, after the initial trial, Union Berlin began to retreat rhythmically, from the initial offensive posture to the current defensive counterattack posture, the whole team almost retreated to their own half, and there is a tendency to evolve to the iron bucket formation.

"I thought Union Berlin was going to play against Borussia Dortmund, but in less than five minutes, they showed their original form, retreated into their own half, and set up a bucket ......formation," Dicker quipped.

"Man, it's no surprise that there are only a handful of teams on our home turf who dare to actually play against Borussia Dortmund, and like I said, it's a ......battle of attack and defense," Rupert said with a smile.

In the 6th minute of the game, the two teams finally had their first shot on goal, Union Berlin full-back No. 18 Redondo successfully broke the ball and passed the ball to teammate striker No. 21 Quarnell, who just crossed the midfield line with the ball and shot with his feet, Dortmund goalkeeper No. 1 Weidenfeller did not react because the ball was too far away from the goal.

"This is the first shot of the game?" Dicker was speechless, "This is too exaggerated, Cunel shot at least 50 meters from the goal, and his shot was outrageous, the ball flew out of the bottom line at the end of the line, it was the sideline......"

"I guess this guy uses the sideline as a goal, he's a ...... of stats," Rupert quipped.

Both commentators felt that Union Berlin's first shot was a bit outrageous, but Union Berlin striker 21 Quanell, who completed it, didn't think so. Because when he got the ball, there was no teammate around him to pick it up, and shooting was his only option. In fact, this also reflects the mentality of Union Berlin in this game, that is, to focus on defense and shoot when you have the opportunity, after all, in the face of Dortmund, which has strong attacking power, not conceding a goal is the first place.

In the face of Union Berlin's active recycling, Dortmund can easily burn the fire to the opponent's own field, but once the opponent's half is reached, Dortmund's passing will encounter problems, because every player of Union Berlin is actively involved in defense, which makes Dortmund's passing very difficult.

It wasn't until the eighth minute that Dortmund had their first shot of the game. No. 12 Moore cut inside with the ball, suddenly sent a through ball, No. 10 Gotze took the ball and burst into the opponent's penalty area on the right side, and then passed the ball to No. 20 Ramos, but Ramos's shot was too straight to pose a threat.

"It's a shame that Ramos didn't catch the step and the ball didn't get power......" Dicker looked regretful.

"It was a beautiful attack, Moore's pass was very sudden, Gotze's cross was handled well, but there was a problem with the final shot...... "Ramos wasted a great chance to score......

Seeing that the team's attack was very threatening this time, the Iduna Signal Park stadium burst into applause. Although the fans were a little unhappy that they didn't see the European golden boy play, as the game progressed, everyone began to focus on the game.

Thomas Tuchel was delighted to see his team play a beautiful link-up, and although Ramos missed a chance, Tuchel was unimpressed because the fluid combination that Tuchel had been expecting was finally played.

However, the smile on Tuchel's face did not last long before slowly disappearing as the next wave of attack that Tuchel had hoped for was not yet in place.

In the 10th minute of the game, when Dortmund was attacking, No. 8 Shahin's pass was wrong, and the team's attack came to an abrupt halt.

In the 14th minute of the game, the two teams fought again in the midfield, and the ball changed hands several times, which was very intense, but Dortmund was never able to control the ball well.

With 18 minutes played, Dortmund were in control again, but the pace of progress dropped considerably, and it was clear that the players wanted to stabilize the situation first.

'There are some problems with Dortmund's attack...... The fit is suddenly not so smooth...... A bit of a lot of passing errors...... There was no attacking ...... that was threatening," Dicker commented.

"Union Berlin strengthened their defence and Shaheen was taken care of by the opposition, which led to some problems in the team's playmaking at the back...... Also, Moore is a bit too sticky......" Rubeutt commented.

The two commentators suddenly felt that the commentary during this period was very awkward, and often after the previous sentence was finished, and when the next sentence was just about to be spoken, it was cut off by the sudden drastic change on the court. In fact, this also reflects the real situation on the field, anxious, very anxious, and the game is very anxious......

There is no need for two commentators to remind them, Ido's Dortmund fans have already felt this change, and everyone is helpless and discussing.

"It's been 20 minutes before Dortmund has a shot on goal, it's a dull game!" Some fans complained.

"The two teams don't seem to be able to play all of a sudden, the mistakes keep coming, and I don't see anything except the scramble!" Some fans discussed.

“…… It's stuck, watching this game is like watching a stuck videotape......" a fan joked.

“……”

No one expected that after the opening nearly ten minutes of anxious play between the two teams, the ten minutes of anxious play were staged again, as if the video tape had suddenly been replayed. And not only the beginning is the same, but the end is also the same.

Seeing his teammates making repeated mistakes in passing, Gotze began to go it alone. In the 19th minute of the game, Gotze drove straight into the middle with the ball and shot a long shot at the top of the arc of the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball was blocked by the opponent's central defender No. 37 Restner.

“…… Gotze's shot ...... Oh, and the ball was touched by an opposition defender and Dortmund was awarded a corner. "It was Dortmund's second shot of the game, a long-range ...... from Gotze."

"Thank God, finally another shot on goal, I thought I'd have to wait another ten minutes!" Rubeutt commented, "After the team completed the first attack, I thought that the team's attack had entered the regularity, but the truth is that I was wrong, the team's attack is still in the run-in stage......

Götze took the corner, he passed the ball to the back post, but unfortunately there was no outflanking player from Dortmund at the back post, and the ball was picked up by Union Berlin players, and Dortmund's attack ended.

"Hopefully this is a good start, the fans want to see a good game......" Dicker looked expectant.

However, the next match disappointed Dikel.

In the 23rd minute of the game, when Dortmund was attacking, Ramos made a mistake, and Union Berlin counterattacked. However, Union Berlin's counterattack did not advance to Dortmund's half-time and the attack came to an abrupt halt.

In the 26th minute of the game, the two teams started a scuffle again in the midfield, the ball first flew around in the air, and then was thrown around by the two teams like a hot potato, and neither team could control the ball well.

With 28 minutes played, Dortmund once again controlled the situation and finally controlled the leather at their feet by backing back and forth.

"This game looks too tangled, Dortmund's attack can't be played, and Union Berlin's counterattack is not resolute enough, and both teams seem to be weak in scoring goals......" Dicker looked tangled.

"The game was dull, the offense of both teams seemed to be disorganized, there was no tactical content, a bit of an amateur game...... Rupert pouted.

With 29 minutes into the game, the situation on the pitch changed again. Dortmund made a fatal mistake when he fell to the back, and when Paslak passed back to goalkeeper Weidenfeller, the power of the ball was a little small, and the opposition full-back No. 17 Hedlund seized the opportunity to get a single knife, and the good Weidenfeller came out in time to destroy the ball.

"Paslak almost made a big mistake, he almost gave an assist to the opposing striker, but fortunately Weidenfeller came in time to destroy the ball before the opponent's striker could shoot......" Dicker broke out in a cold sweat, "and the team should not let their guard down when they fall at the back......"

"Thank God for blocking the third shot, otherwise we could have been the ones behind!" Rubewt commented, "After Götze scored his second shot, I thought the team's attack was in full swing, but I was wrong, and the team's attack still didn't improve......

At this time, not only the two commentators were dissatisfied, but the Dortmund fans on the scene were also very dissatisfied. Because everyone pays for tickets to come in, but they don't come to see this kind of boring game, it's just an amateur level.

"Oh my God, what kind of game did I see, no shots, a lot of mistakes...... Today's tickets were bought for nothing! Some fans complained.

"It was a very, very, very boring game, and although the game wasn't over yet, I can already conclude that it was a very, very, very boring game!" Some fans said angrily.

"In the first 10 minutes of the game, I felt like I repeated it three times, and it was a strange feeling, this game was like constipation, which made people feel disgusting...... "Some fans are very dissatisfied.

“……”

Seeing his team's attacking weakness, Thomas Tuchel was frustrated, but there was nothing he could do. The team suffered a wave of injuries, many players played, and he struggled for this start, not only letting the veteran Shaheen start for a long time, but also temporarily transferring the No. 34 Larsson of the Dortmund youth team to the first line, but still did not get the desired result. The team played stumbling, and there was no shadow of a strong team at all.

"Press...... Press forward ...... You have to put enough pressure on your opponents......" exclaimed the Tuchel coach, the only thing he could think of at the moment.

However, Tuchel's coach's efforts proved futile.

In the 33rd minute of the game, when Dortmund was attacking, Götze's through ball line was predicted in advance by the opponent's central defender No. 4 Poncec, the ball was broken, and the attack came to an abrupt end; Ponceci made a long pass with a big foot, but unfortunately the power was too great, and the ball was directly taken into Weidenfeller's arms, and the attack of Union Berlin came to an abrupt end.

In the 36th minute of the game, the two teams engaged in hand-to-hand combat in the midfield, Dortmund left full-back Paslak and the opponent's forward No. 23 Felix Kroos successively put tackles, too big a move caused the conflict between the two teams to break out, but fortunately, the referee of the game decided to settle the conflict with two yellow cards.

With 38 minutes to play, Dortmund once again controlled the situation, and finally controlled the skin at their feet by stubbornly fighting and suppressing Union Berlin in the midfield.

As if sensing that the time for a shot was up, in the 39th minute of the game, Shaheen stepped forward to attack and knocked a long shot from outside the penalty area, which was of very good quality, but the opponent's goalkeeper performed equally well, and No. 1 Mason Holler flew to drag the ball off the crossbar.

"A beautiful shot came from the team's back No. 8 Shahin, and it was very sudden and very threatening...... Dicker finally came to the spirit, "When the team's attack is blocked, the players in the backfield should take the initiative to step forward and take the responsibility of attacking, and Shahin's forward insertion is very ...... immediately"

"Thank God, the third shot of the game finally came, I finally saw a very quality shot, and if it wasn't for the good performance of the opposition goalkeeper, the balance might have ......been broken," Rubeus commented, "but to be honest, the team's attack has not improved, and we have only one shot in ten minutes, and our attack is so inefficient......

It was as if God felt the boredom of the game, and the game finally changed at the last moment, and it was a sea change.

In the 45th minute of the game, No. 34 Larsson, a young player who had a mediocre performance in the first half, finally broke out. Borussia Dortmund had a chance to counter-attack, Gotze split the ball to the right in the middle, Larsson followed up with a cross, which looked like a cross and shot, only to hit Parensen's arm and bounce into the goal, 1-0! Borussia Dortmund finally got on the scoresheet, an own goal from an opponent.

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Larsson's goal! Dicker shouted, "Youngster Larsson's shot was blocked by the opponent's right-back No. 29 Parensen with his hand, it was a very unexpected goal......"

"Thank God for rewriting the script at the last minute, otherwise I would have had to define the first half as boring...... "The only thing I want to say first is that I hope this unexpected goal can bring a little comfort to the fans on the field and on the television, because after 45 minutes of boredom, everyone finally saw a little bit of football......
