"The warm-up match between the Basque Lions and the Hornets is about to begin, so let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams. Pen ~ fun ~ www.biquge.info "Dicker changed the subject, "Dortmund's starting line-up is: goalkeeper Weidenfeller, Schmelzer, Bronic, Sokoladis and Piszczek in the backline, Weigel, Christian Pulisic, Shinji Kagawa, Gotze and Schurrle in midfield, Aubameyang in the front, and coach Tuchel in a 4231 formation...... Athletic Bilbao's starting line-up: goalkeeper Ilesos, back line Valenziaga, Boveda, Laporte, De Marcos, midfielders Eraso, San Jose, Beniat and Suseta, strikers Williams and Aduris, Athletic Bilbao manager Balverd lined up a 442 formation......"

"Norbert, you're not mistaken, are you? Pang didn't start? Rupert wondered, he had just joined the army of supporting Chinese boys, and the Chinese boys did not start in this game, isn't it a joke!

"Man, I'm not mistaken, it looks like you want to praise Pound until the second half." Dicker quipped.

Dicker also did not expect that the fat man would be put on the bench, in Dicker's opinion, the fat man is a little less qualified, but the recent form has been very hot, and the popularity and popularity have directly caught up with the team's well-known stars such as Aubameyang and Reus. But after all, this is a warm-up game, and the starting substitute is not particularly important, the key is to look at the performance.

"Norbert, you're really kidding." Rupert's expression was a little embarrassed, "I'm just a little surprised, Pang didn't start, he is the best player in Dortmund in the last few warm-up games." ”

"It's just a warm-up game, the starters and substitutes don't really matter, the key is to look at the performance." Dicker analyzed, "Pang has been in very good form lately, he doesn't need to prove himself anymore, on the contrary, I am more worried about Gotze's performance. ”

'I think Coach Tuchel was in too much of a hurry with Gotze and he should have given Gotze more time to recover from training and it wouldn't be good for his confidence to play too early. Rupert analyzed.

'There's no way around it, Götze carries too much hope from Borussia Dortmund fans and coach Tuchel wants to develop him into the heart of midfield, so it's unavoidable.' Dicker explained.

The fat man was not angry at all after knowing that he did not start today. After these warm-up games, the fat man's mentality has improved a lot, especially after the games with Manchester United and Manchester City, the fat man's self-confidence has been greatly improved, and the fat man now doesn't care much about the starter or the substitute, the fat man is more concerned about his own state and contribution to the team.

At six p.m. local time, the game started on time. Athletic Bilbao started the game on Dortmund, and while their warm-up results had been disappointing before, today at their home stadium they will not be afraid of any opponents. As Athletic Bilbao's attack became more and more fierce, the shouts of the fans at the scene gradually became louder. The fat man sat on the bench and felt very uncomfortable with the constant buzzing in his ears. Unlike the singing of Myburgh fans, Athletic Bilbao fans prefer to shout, and the noise of various shouts intertwined makes people feel irritated unconsciously.

"It's really a scary home field." "From the moment I walked into the pitch, the buzzing in my ears never stopped, even when I was wearing a headset. I had to speak louder than usual, or my voice would drown out in the cacophony. ”

"I now finally understand why Barcelona and Real Madrid come here to play and it's always so difficult. They first have to overcome their psychological fears, but also the impact of noise on them, which is really tough. Rupert chimed in, "Hopefully the lads at Dortmund can resist this pressure." ”

Ten minutes into the game, Dortmund had yet to shoot a shot. The fat man could feel the noise having an effect on his teammates, because the Dortmund players on the pitch were playing dullly, and each player was running hard, but it was clearly not exciting enough.

The same goes for Götze, who has been pinned on by Tuchel's coach. Although he played hard and tried his best to connect the team, the effect was mediocre. Götze and Aubameyang's combination still lacked tacit understanding, and although Gotze gave Aubameyang a couple of through balls, none of them posed a threat. Athletic Bilbao paid close attention to Gotze and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, making it extremely difficult for the two to play together.

"Man, you're right, it's a really tough game." Dicker commented: "Our lads were still affected by the noise on the pitch, they looked a bit dull on the pitch and they weren't excited enough. ”

"It's a tough game, but it's worth exercising, isn't that exactly what we want!" Rupert replied.

Fifteen minutes into the game, Athletic Bilbao finally got the back of the net. Athletic Bilbao midfielder Beniat struck the ball over the top after a steal, Williams kept the ball in the box, and Erasso and Aduriz passed to Suseta on the left, who calmly pushed into the near corner to make it 1-0.

"Oh, the ball is in. Goal from Athletic Bilbao Suseta. "Dicker is depressed," said Athletic Bilbao, who fought back very resolutely after the tackle in front, and Weidenfeller did not block Susetta's shot from the near corner. ”

'It was a team goal, there was confusion at the back, with Borussia Dortmund's two centre-backs, Brinic and Sokrate, grabbing a point at the same time and missing the mark on Suseta, which led to a comfortable shot from the opposition. Rupert analyzed, "Dortmund still haven't broken the curse of conceding goals in every game. ”

'Coach Tuchel has done a good job of revamping the backline, we are on the right track in attack, but we are still not improving defensively. Dicker worried, "With this kind of defensive ability, it will be difficult for the team to win the final victory in the upcoming German Super Cup." ”

'Yes, we've played a lot of warm-up games, but our defense is still not reassuring, which is disappointing. Rupert chimed in.

The fat man sitting on the bench also felt the same way, and although the fat man has not been in contact with Tuchel for a long time, he already knows a thing or two about Tuchel's tactics. Coach Tuchel's tactical core is attack, so when he usually trains, Coach Tuchel also spends a lot of time on attacking tactics and not much on defense. On the pitch, Dortmund's attack has always been good, but there are always holes in the defense.

'This Tuchel coach is really an attacking maniac, this kind of attacking football is very good, but it is very difficult to win the title, because attack can only bring victory, only defense can bring championships. The fat man shook his head helplessly.

On the pitch, the game continued, and Dortmund launched a counter-attack after conceding the goal. However, in the face of Athletic Bilbao's tough defense, Dortmund still did not get too good a chance. Coach Tuchel's starting line-up, although the value of the players in every position is not low, always feels like it is not pinched together.

Twenty minutes into the game, Dortmund had their first shot on goal of the game. Defender Weigl made a precise long pass to find Schurrle on the wing, who took the ball to burst into the opponent's penalty area, but in the face of Athletic Bilbao full-back Demarcos, Schurrle chose to shoot from a tight angle, and the ball was blocked by the opposition goalkeeper Ilesos.

Schurrle's shot ...... Oh, and the ball was saved. Dicker was a little disappointed, "Dortmund finally got their first shot on goal after twenty minutes......

"yes, that's it, we have to play our offense, otherwise it's too passive." Rubeutt commented, "Attack is Dortmund's best weapon, we have to put pressure on an opponent......"

Although Schurrle's shot did not go in, it boosted the morale of the Dortmund players. Then Dortmund attacked even harder.

Twenty-five minutes into the game, Dortmund had another chance. Götze, who had been playing dullly, suddenly sent a through ball, Aubameyang took the ball and inserted it into the box, but due to the small angle, Aubameyang did not choose to shoot, but knocked across the middle, and Pulisic in the scuffle failed to eat the right part of the goal, and the ball deflected off the right post. Borussia Dortmund had the best chance to open the scoring.

'Oh, it's a shame, Christian Pulisic wasted a really good chance.' Dicker regretted that 'Pulisic's forward was very timely, but he didn't control the shot well. ”

"Man, I think Dortmund's frontcourt players should practice shooting more, we waste too many opportunities like this, I think it's because the players usually practice shooting too little." Rupert suggested.

"I feel the same way, in the recent warm-up games, although Dortmund scored a lot of goals, but the goals were very concentrated, most of them were scored by Pang and Aubameyang, which is not a good phenomenon, and our multi-point attacking characteristics are disappearing." Dicker chimed in.

On the pitch, although Dortmund's attack was fierce, Athletic Bilbao was not to be outdone, and the counterattack was impressive. In particular, Borussia Dortmund centre-backs Bronic and Schmelzer were the focus of Athletic Bilbao's attack. Because when Dortmund is attacking, Schmelzer has the task of stepping forward to assist, so Dortmund's left defense is relatively weak, which is the key area of Athletic Bilbao's attack.

"Oh, the ball missed! Athletic Bilbao Williams' shot on goal was very threatening. Schmelzer didn't have time to get back into defence. Dicker exclaimed.

"A long-range shot, oh, Williams again, and this time his shot was saved by Weidenfeller." Dicker exclaimed again.

"Both balls are dangerous! When Schmelzer stepped forward to assist, he had to be in his position to fill in, with Christian Pulisic and Weigl at the back having to give Schmelzer plenty of support as the team transitioned from attack to defence. Rubeutt commented.

However, Dortmund, who are behind the score, should not care so much. Schmelzer was still actively moving forward to assist, and this time his pass created a shot for Schurrle.

In the 35th minute of the game, Schurrle suddenly cut diagonally into the middle, and after receiving a pass from Schmelzer, Schurrle hit a ball in front of the penalty area, but unfortunately Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Ilesos reacted in time and lifted the ball out of the bottom line.

"It's a shame that this ball is a shame, as long as the ball is a little more powerful, this ball will be there." Dicker looked regretful, "It's Schurrle again, Schurrle's desire to attack during this time is very strong." ”

'Gotze and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should have been tougher, they have to fight back against the opposition's tough defence, relying on Schurrle alone, it's too difficult for the team to equalise.' Rupert's expression was solemn.

"In this kind of scene, if Pang is on the field, the threat will be greater." Dicker advised, "Pong is a big man, he has a very strong impact, he is not afraid of confrontation, and it is only right to use Pang in this situation." ”

"That's what I thought, but unfortunately it won't be until the second half." Rupert chimed in: "For Dortmund to equalise in the first half, Gotze and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have to step up and they have to give Schurrle more support. ”

As if hearing Rupert's explanation, near the end of the game, Gotze suddenly broke out, resisted the defense of Athletic Bilbao defender Gueeraso, and burst into the penalty area, but when Gotze wanted to pass the ball, another defender of Athletic Bilbao San Jose suddenly slid and blocked the eye, and as a result, Gotze's cross hit San Jose's raised arm, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty.

'Beautiful, Gotze created a penalty for Borussia Dortmund.' Dicker was thrilled, "Gotze's cross after the breakthrough hit the defender's arm and the referee awarded a penalty. ”

'It was the only breakthrough of the first half and he finally showed his worth. Rubeher commented, "When a player is facing a difficult situation, technique and tactics are no longer the most important thing, and courage becomes the key to breaking through the situation. ”

"It's true, in the opponent's penalty area, players dare to make moves to have unexpected gains." Dicker chimed in, "Hopefully Götze can realise that, he's a very talented player, but now courage is more important than talent. ”

The fat man thought that Götze would take the penalty, but unfortunately Götze did not stand up in the end, as if Götze's breakthrough just now was an accident.

'Gotze conceded a penalty to Aubameyang, which was not a good idea. Dicker was a little annoyed, "Gotze should have come out and take the penalty. It was a very important penalty for him and very helpful for him to regain his confidence. ”

"Maybe it's because I'm afraid that the penalty won't be scored, it seems that Gotze's self-confidence has not recovered!" Rupert guessed.

"It doesn't matter if you don't score a penalty, the key is to dare to face it, and Götze has to show the responsibility that a core player deserves." Dicker was even angrier.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang took the penalty, but his shot was too good and not fast enough, and Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Ilesos judged the ball to fly in the right direction.

"Oh my God, the ball was saved." Rupert was surprised, "Pierre-Emeyang squandered a penalty created by Gotze and his shot was saved by the opposition goalkeeper. The ball should have been taken by Götze. ”

"There's no substitute for courage, and hopefully Götze understands that." Dicker said earnestly.

At the end of the first half, Athletic Bilbao led Dortmund 1-0.
