Chapter 56: Put on the captain's armband
"Boris, Pom made a very strange gesture on the side of the pitch after scoring a goal, do you know what he was trying to say?" Dicker asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"A heart-shaped gesture, ...... towards the sky," Rupert thoughtfully said, "If nothing else, I think he wants to dedicate this goal to his girlfriend, I learned from the news that Pang's agent and girlfriend is still hospitalized for treatment......"
"What an emotional man, I hope Pong's girlfriend can recover soon......," Dicker blessed.
When the teammates saw the fat man's celebration posture, they didn't come over to disturb him, and only came to celebrate with the fat man when the fat man finished the whole set of actions.
"Guys, now we've equalized! Next, all we have to do is take out Hertha Berlin ......" the fat man shouted to his teammates.
Coach Daldaui, who has been sitting firmly in the coach's seat, is finally no longer calm, because what he was worried about has finally happened. It can be said that before the fat man came out, everything was developing according to Coach Daldaoi's pre-match vision. First, Dortmund, who lacked major generals, failed to attack for a long time, and then Hertha Berlin relied on counterattacks to lead...... Everything was so rosy and Daldoi was ready to beat Dortmund at the Signal Park at Iduna, but everything changed when the fat man appeared, and Dortmund not only equalised quickly, but also had their morale up.
"Defend Dortmund Nine with all your might, and you will be sure to kill him......" Daldoy yelled at his disciples on the field.
After the restart, the fat man was taken care of by Hertha Berlin. However, this did not have much impact on the fat man, because the fat man is used to being surrounded and defended by opponents. The fat man turns on the heads-up mode, one-on-one heads-up, and passes the ball when he encounters the bag clip defense, and the fat man doesn't want to activate the heat flow too early for the time being, because this is a rare opportunity for the fat man to practice breakthroughs. In the face of the onslaught of the fat man, Hertha Berlin's always solid backline began to show holes.
On the 61st minute of the game, the fat man suddenly sent a through ball after passing a defender. After receiving the fat man's pass, Moore broke through Hertha Berlin's defense on the wing, and shot with his feet, but unfortunately the angle was a little positive, and it was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.
With 65 minutes played, the fat man repeated his old trick and broke through to deliver another pass, this time to Christian Pulisic. When Christian Pulisic got the ball, he didn't choose to shoot, but sent in a low cross. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who flanked in the middle, tackled the goal, but Hertha Berlin goalkeeper No. 22 Arsten was in a good position to block the dangerous goal.
On 68 minutes, the fat man sent a pass for the third time, this time targeting Aubameyang because he ran out of space.
'Brilliant pass, Aubameyang's one-on-one chance......' Dicker was thrilled.
Although Aubameyang had a one-on-one chance, goalkeeper Yarsten was quick to react and quickly slotted out Aubameyang's angle. Faced with the opposition goalkeeper's attack, Aubameyang chose to shoot, but unexpectedly, the ball was actually touched by Yarsten during the flight, causing the line to change, and finally rejected by the goal post.
"Oh, it's a shame, Aubameyang lacks some luck, but the opponent's goalkeeper is really good in positioning and reflexes......" Dicker looked regretful, "Hertha Berlin goalkeeper Arsten was a god today, he has saved three shots from Dortmund players in a row......"
"Arsten won't always be so lucky!" Rupert was not convinced, "Now Dortmund's momentum has risen, and the most important thing is that our attack is very threatening, and these are the results of Pang after he came on the field......"
"Pang is really indispensable to Dortmund right now, not only is he very dangerous in attack, but he can also attract a large number ......of defenders and create opportunities for his team-mates," Dicker nodded, agreeing.
A wave of three consecutive hits, but no goal, made the fat man very depressed. But this is football, when the fat man was born, Hertha Berlin also stood up, that is, Yarsten, who had touched the fat man's free kick into his own goal, and his excellent play to ensure that Hertha Berlin did not concede a goal again.
But there is one more depressed than the fat man, and that is coach Tuchel. Seeing his team miss three chances in a row, Coach Tuchel on the sidelines jumped to his feet in a hurry.
With 70 minutes played, Thomas Tuchel made another substitution. No. 18 Rod was replaced, and he was replaced by No. 7 Dembele.
"It's no surprise that the No.18 Rod was replaced, now the team needs attackers, Dembele has a stronger attacking ability than Rode, I just don't know if Dembele's injury will affect his ......performance," Dicker commented.
'Coach Tuchel put Dembele on the bench to show that Dembele is almost recovering from his injury and that he is ......the only attacker left for Dortmund to play,' Rupert explained.
"Hopefully it won't lead to a recurrence of Dembele's injury and the team can't add to the injury number......," Dicker said helplessly.
However, football is not a game of human volition, and just a minute after Thomas Tuchel's substitution, there was an unexpected incident. Borussia Dortmund left-back Schmelzer was injured in a scramble with his opponent and could no longer hold on.
The leak came in the rain overnight, and that's how Tuchel feels right now. Originally, he replaced Rod and replaced Dembele to strengthen the attack, but at this time, there was a problem at the back, and the only main defender was injured, which made Tuchel anxious to scold his mother!
As a last resort, Tuchel coach made another personnel change, with No. 29 Schmelzer being replaced by No. 3 Park Joo-ho, who was the South Korean's first appearance for Borussia Dortmund this season.
"Damn, I'm a crow's mouth...... Dicker frustrated, "There are twenty minutes left in the game, but we've used up all the substitutions......"
"Man, it's not your fault, the main reason is that the players are too tired, and the intensive schedule has caused the players to be at a critical point in their fitness right now, and they are very prone to injury...... Rupert advised.
"In the previous team's backline, there was at least one Schmelzer as a manager, and now Schmelzer is injured, and the team's backline has become a substitute, and this game is difficult to play......" Dicker sighed, "Hertha Berlin's offensive is still very threatening......
Just as the team doctor was about to help Schmelzer off the field, Schmelzer suddenly made a surprising move. I saw him limping towards the fat man. After that, in front of the fans, he took off the captain's armband and tied it to the fat man's arm.
"Captain, this ...... This ...... "The fat man was a little overwhelmed.
You can't blame the fat man for being surprised and can't believe the facts in front of him, because the fat man knows that no matter how much he rotates, the captain's armband will not be able to turn on his head, and the fat man's seniority in Dortmund is too shallow.
"Pang, it's up to you next, I believe you can lead the team to victory!" Schmelzer said seriously.
Looking at Schmelzer's expectant eyes, the fat man's hesitation just now disappeared in an instant, and his eyes became firm.
"Okay, then I'll be the captain of the twenty minutes!" The fat man replied firmly.
Seeing that the fat man accepted it sincerely, Schmelzer was satisfied, turned his head and limped out of the court.
"My God, this ...... What's going on? Dicker was directly stunned, "How did Schmelzer put the captain's armband on Pong's arm?" ”
"I don't know why, but I'm in favor of Schmelzer's decision!" Rupert raised his eyebrows, looking excited, "Because at this moment, on this court, there is no one more suitable to be the captain than Pang!" ”
"But...... But Pang has just arrived in Dortmund...... "Dicker gave his reasons.
"Man, I know what you're trying to say." Rupert took Dicker's words, "According to common sense, if the captain is replaced, the captain's armband should be given to the vice-captain or the older player, but the two vice-captains of our team, Royce and Bender, are recovering from injuries, so the first condition is not valid; As for putting the captain's armband on the older players, you can also see that Aubameyang doesn't care about the captain at all, and Bilki is in the goalkeeper position and can't motivate his teammates well, apart from these two, who do you think is more suitable to be the captain than Pong? ”
"This ...... Ginter is not bad, he is a defensive stalwart at the back, he is a German player, he has been with the team for several years......" Dicker replied.
"Man, that's just what you think, Ginter probably doesn't think so......" Rupert retorted.
Rupert hadn't finished his words when he suddenly found Dicker staring at the big screen of the stadium, and Rupert also turned his head to look and found that the person on the big screen of the stadium was the Ginter they were talking about. At this moment, Ginter was giving a thumbs up to someone, and that person was fat.
Seeing that Ginter also recognized the fat man as the captain, Dicker was completely speechless this time. Dikel also captained Dortmund when he was a player, so he naturally understands the significance of captaincy to a team, and now Dicker is looking forward to the performance of the fat man.
"Pang, this guy Roman guessed right again!" Ginter exclaimed.
Ginter's words made the other Dortmund players wonder, but the fat man knew the meaning of Ginter's words. Because when the three of them chatted together before, Weidenfeller said that he had told Ginter and the fat man that if the fat man stayed in Dortmund, then the fat man must have become the captain earlier than Ginter.
"Man, let's try to take out Hertha Berlin together!" The fat man said domineeringly.
This is the third time Hertha Berlin players have heard Dortmund Nine say such things, which makes them both angry and helpless. Angry that the young man in front of him is so arrogant, but helplessly, this young man can really do what he says, because they have seen the difficulty of the young man in front of him. After the youngster's appearance, Dortmund's attack changed qualitatively.
Thomas Tuchel's coach was nervous when he saw Schmelzer do so. He was a little worried that Schmelzer's behaviour would lead to displeasure from the rest of the squad, but seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Tuchel suddenly felt that his worries were unfounded. Coach Tuchel stared at the player on the pitch that he loved and hated, lost in thought.
"Did you see that? Borussia Dortmund's youngest captain is born! The Chinese boy is not yet twenty years old, but he has already worn the captain's armband for Dortmund, and although it is only temporary, it is amazing enough! Some fans exclaimed.
"Kahn's prophecy has come true, the Chinese boy is indeed a player with a leadership temperament, a natural captain!" There are fans who are excited.
"Although I don't approve of Schmelzer being the captain of the team, I agree with Schmelzer's move just now, he handed over the captain's armband to the most suitable person at the moment!" Some fans agreed.
“……”
The cameraman at the scene did not forget to give the fat man a big close-up, the fat man in the lens, with a resolute face, domineering and exposed, looked like he was going to do a lot of work.
The fat man is still too young to hide his emotions and writes all his thoughts on his face. However, Dortmund do need to show their opponents a sense of belief that they must win, because after Schmelzer's injury departure, Dortmund's strength has been weakened, and this is the time to motivate everyone to continue to work hard. In addition, the fat man is also putting pressure on himself, when Schmelzer tied the captain's armband to the fat man's arm, the fat man originally wanted to refuse, because acceptance means pressure, but the fat man finally accepted it, because even if he did not wear this captain's armband, the fat man would try to help the team win.
'I've got to do better, no matter what the process is, the result is to win.' The fat man thought silently, "It seems that my brother has to fight, if I can't score again as soon as possible, my brother will activate the heat flow......
The game continued, although Hertha Berlin strengthened the defense against the fat man, but it still could not limit the fat man's play well. Because of the one-on-one defense, Hertha Berlin has no one to defend against the fat man. And when Hertha Berlin uses the bag, the fat man passes the ball, which causes Hertha Berlin to have a feeling of one less person in the game, as if Hertha Berlin only has 10 people playing.
With 74 minutes played, Borussia Dortmund organized an attack. The fat man was not polite this time, and succeeded in two heads-ups, one physical confrontation, and one pedaling on a bicycle. By the time the fat man passed the ball to Dembele, who was cutting forward on the wing, Dembele had already broken through the opponent's defence. However, Dembele did not choose to shoot, but suddenly pulled the ball back, and then cut inside laterally to dodge the angle and shoot at goal.
However, the shot was not found to be the goal, as the ball was blocked by a returning Hertha Berlin player with a sliding tackle. Winger No. 24 Genki Haraguchi used his body to block Dembele's shot. But there is something special about the part where Genki Haraguchi blocks the ball, it is his inadvertently raised arm.
"Oh, the referee awarded a penalty, it's amazing! Dembele's shot hit the arm of the opposition defender...... "Dikel was excited.
"Absolute penalty!" Rupert looked at the slow-motion replay and said, "Although the handball was inadvertently caused by the defender, the arm was open, so there was no problem with the referee's decision......
Although Dembele created the penalty, he conceded it. Although the fat man is now the captain on the field, it is temporary after all, and the penalty was not created by the fat man, because the fat man did not come out, and the final penalty was taken by Aubameyang.
